Chapter Seventy-Three: Skirmishes at the Border

Just when Chongzhen was angry and embarrassed for Empress Zhang's political interference, on the battlefield in the north of the empire, a warship belonging to Jiangdong Town wandered near Lianyun Island, since the battleship taken away by Shang Kexi and others was burned to ashes, the Jurchens' combat power at sea once again returned to the era of launching by wooden planks, and the entire Liaodong Bay was the territory of the Ming fleet.

"General, according to the available information, there is only one dissatisfied Niu Lu stationed in Gaizhou City, and there are more than 100 people, can we take him" Since Chongzhen ordered that all the spoils of foreign wars were only collected by the imperial court for five layers, the eyes of those generals at all levels in the barracks lit up.

"Gangzi, when did you get the information" The general was obviously more cautious about such a risky behavior.

"Don't worry, general, this was just bought in the hands of Jinyiwei a few days ago, and this piece of information actually asked me for eighty taels of silver" Saying this, the soldier called Gangzi still showed a painful expression.

"What are you distressed about, it's not your money, this is everyone's money together" The general looked at his money fan, and couldn't help but feel a little funny, although the group of brocade guards collected money, but the intelligence was extremely accurate, and there was never a mistake.

My own group of people was originally the officers and soldiers who defended the city of Jinzhou City, and recently happened to be during the period of rest and recuperation of this team, in the face of the emperor's new policy, a group of people who were not willing to be lonely calculated to get some money and flowers, and the channels for money came together, and there was nothing more convenient than going out to rob them together, and it happened that there was a fellow soldier in the team who was on an errand in Jinyiwei, and he could get information about the area occupied by the Jurchens, so a group of people took the certificate and went to the sailor to rent a warship and the sailors of this boat.

For Jinyiwei to sell intelligence, the soldiers on leave partnered to lease warships to run Jurchen territory robbery, Qin Liangyu, the person in charge of the Liaodong region, and Lu Xiangsheng, the town of Jiangdong, were both happy to see this, not only revised the rest time of the soldiers, but also rented various warships and weapons to the soldiers who went out to rob in partnership, but the management in this regard is very strict, all the rest soldiers borrow boats to go to sea, they need to register all the people who go out, and there are special supervisors on the ship to follow the record.

"The beach in front is suitable for landing, and the fire is ready to build a simple port" After the fleet docked, the so-called simple port is a group of people going ashore to build a slope, and a device similar to a drawbridge is placed at the location of the ship's belly warehouse, and the planks of the ship more than three meters wide are slowly placed on the built slope.

A four-wheeled chariot slowly drove out of the belly of the ship, followed by a large number of war horses, more than 100 people on this coast, on the horse, on the chariot on the chariot, no one on foot, many cavalry around a few chariots slowly towards the distance of Gaizhou City, the sea of the war ship also put away the suspension bridge, back to the sea not far away waiting for the return of this team.

"When you meet the Jurchens, don't mess up, if someone doesn't give orders and breaks the rules, then it's no wonder that Ben will turn his face and be ruthless" The first time he and others came out, he was afraid that something would go wrong with this group of soldiers when he met the Jurchens, and if he was surrounded by the Jurchens, then the joy would be great.

"Don't worry, general, we are all veterans who have been on the battlefield, this time I didn't bring a new soldier, everyone understands the rules," Gangzi, who was fiddling with the chariot and fixing the Franc machine on the car, replied without looking back.

"Gangzi, Franco, you will use it, if you can't, let me come" The comrades on the chariot near Gangzi stared at the Fran machine of the Gangzi chariot with shining eyes,

"I have no opinion", "Forget it, it's still next time" Holding the flintlock pistol in his arms, looking at the Franc machine on the Gangzi car, Li Ergou opened his mouth, and finally did not give up his own flintlock pistol, this time it was the Ministry of War in order to test the actual combat effect of this batch of weapons, only to approve a Franc machine chariot and five new flintlock pistols for free, usually these weapons can not be rented by others, compared to Franky, he still loves the flintlock pistol more.

"I knew you couldn't bear it" Gangzi shook his head, with an expression that he knew he would be like this.

"The front is Gaizhou City, everyone check their weapons again, the general doesn't want the soldiers he brought out, because of these careless situations and sacrifices, I can't afford to lose that person" The general took the trouble to tell his soldiers.

The drawing of the sword, the inspection of the firearm, the inspection of the firearm, and the jumping out of the chariot to check the condition of the wheels "The general has finished the inspection and can fight at any time"

"There are more than 120 people on the other side, more than 20 more than us, everyone is afraid," the general shouted to his soldiers as he drew his sword.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid," the soldier shouted, holding his weapon aloft and shouting. This was unimaginable in the original Liaodong, a team of more than 100 people encountered a Jurchen with the same number of more than 100 people, and in the case of a slight disadvantage in numbers, they actually dared to take the initiative to declare war.

"The chariots lined up in formation, the war horses guarded the two wings, launched the divine rockets, and led the enemy out of the camp" A series of military orders were issued, and a large number of soldiers were ordered to act, and the opponent's camp had been operating for a long time, and it was inevitable that they would not be able to please the opponent's strong attack, so it was better to let the other party rush out.

The bed crossbow on a chariot lifts the arrow, pulls the winch, and loads the god rocket, the god rocket is the crossbow arrow filled with fire oil in the hollow of the pottery, and the huge power after being applied to the army, it is called the god rocket by the soldiers, and the pottery jar filled with fire oil fired by the same trebuchet is called the god fire bomb, and the crossbow arrow with a fire light in the half barrel of the "bang" crossbow arrow crossbows through an arc in the half barrel, hitting the ground The pottery arrow body is shattered, the fire oil is splashed, and a violent fireball erupts, igniting a fire on the ground.

The fire was burning, and the Jurchens were also alarmed, and everyone's eyes turned to the kid who released the arrow, "I'm sorry, I missed, I will hit it next time" Breaking out in a cold sweat, he pulled the winch and put in the new god rocket, and the "Bang" flew out with an arrow again, and with the calibration of the previous arrow, this time it finally fell to the Jurchen camp.

The Jurchens, who were startled by the arrow just now, were still a little stunned, and at this time another arrow came down, setting their camps on fire, and when they saw that a group of Ming people who were not as many as their own people actually dared to run to their own territory to make trouble, roaring and carrying scimitars, a group of people rushed to the other party's military formation.
