"The lord is talking about the surrender of troops?"

Gan Hui nodded.

"It's difficult to command a temporary change of generals, but if you don't change generals in a temporary formation, you may be on the right side of the formation?"

"Lord, in fact, this problem is not complicated, it seems that there are many solutions, in fact, in the final analysis, there are two choices, one, find a way to cut off the heads of these people, and second, don't cut off their heads, block them who surrendered to the Ming Dynasty to die for the sake of the Ming."

The scribe looked confident: "My lord, I have two strategies, which one should I listen to first?" ”

"Let's listen to the next step."

"This place is still about 100 miles away from Yangzhou, first find an opportunity to cut off all the heads of more than 1,000 generals, and then parachute people from the pro-soldiers, move silver to reward the obedient over there, and then... But it's only two days, and if it had been before, it might have been better to do it. ”

Gan Hui had a resentful expression on his face, why didn't you tell me earlier: "Then, what about the last volume?" ”

"The best strategy is to let these reliable old Fujian soldiers in our hands engage with Dongyu in advance!"

"Huh?" Gan Hui's mind was confused: five or six thousand people and at least tens of thousands of people on the other side were dead, how could he feel that he was sending him to death?

"In this battle, it is not about winning a big victory, annihilating a battalion of the enemy, you only need to find soft persimmons and obtain dozens of heads, so as to be able to deter the surrendered army that may surrender to the enemy behind you."

"Hmm...," Gan Hui nodded.

"If it fails, the lord will have to plan early."

If you plan early, you will either lead a group of former Qing troops to surrender to the Qing army, or throw away the powder keg behind you and run away on the plain. Gan Hui knows exactly what to choose between these two. Whether it is loyalty to Da Ming (or the Zheng family), or out of practical interests, he should choose to run away.

At noon that day, Gan Hui chose to camp in advance and check the soldiers and horses again. Contrary to the norm, the cronies in charge of the inspection were strict with Gan Hui's descendants, but it was only a routine matter for the surrender of troops.

"Six thousand corps, of which the first thousand corps has five corps, a total of eight hundred and seventy-two people, with a total of fifty flint guns, one hundred and thirty-one bird guns, and the rest of the forty-seven miscellaneous guns, four tiger squat cannons, ninety-seven foot bows, and four hundred and fifty spears......"

"There are six regiments under the 2,000th Corps, with a total of nine hundred and ninety-five men, including one hundred and twenty-five birds and fifty-seven miscellaneous guns..."

"Under the 3,000th Corps..."

"Five thousand seven hundred and seventy men, of whom one thousand three hundred and forty were fire-bearers, and nine hundred and seventeen were archers, and the rest were hand-to-hand spears and sword and shield bearers."

Gan Hui pondered for a while, "Let the thousands of corps transfer all the flintlocks under their jurisdiction, and I will personally lead them." These more than 5,000 people are the hole cards in Gan Hui's hand, so they can make this kind of action of listening to the tune and listening to the propaganda.

Three hundred flintlocks stood in the open space according to their formations, and when they saw Gan Hui surrounded by people with reflections, even soldiers who had never seen him could guess who he was, and they all saluted under the leadership of the flag officer.

Gan Hui returned the salute and motioned for them to get up, picked a few people and asked, looked at them, and picked up a soldier's flintlock crotcher. There was no copper hoop or anything like that on the barrel, and the receiver on the back was clean--- and there was no smell of old gunpowder at all.

"Was this gun issued to you in the army before the opening of Nanjing, or after?" During Gan Hui's expedition to the west, he also ordered the craftsmen of the army to change the bird gun into a flintlock gun, but the daily camp continued to march, and the level of craftsmen was insufficient, so the results were not many.

"General Hui, it was sent when I was in Nanjing."

Patting the soldier on the shoulder, Gan Hui found another flintlock gun that the craftsman had modified himself, and from the appearance alone, Gan Hui felt a strong difference: not to mention whether the weight of the bird gun and the flintlock gun was uniform or not, the smell of the remaining arquebus mouth alone was a little choking. If you look closely, there is still a gap in the air leakage.

Gan Hui jumped like thunder, there is a gap to indicate that the range will be reduced when the gun is released, the advantage of the flintlock gun compared to the bird gun is that the speed of fire is the increased power of the closed arquebus, isn't this a pit? If you let go of the guns, what Nanjing made can play 40 steps, and what you make yourself can only play 30 steps, then wouldn't it have to be reorganized? The soldiers who have reorganized and disrupted the original establishment are not as handy as they were originally?

The craftsmen in the army were dragged to Gan Hui by the big-shouldered and round-waisted soldiers carrying chickens.

"Let you and others transform the bird gun into a flintlock gun, and the back of the flintlock gun is not open, but you and the others have such a trachoma, is it cutting corners?"

Facing the pro-soldier holding the hilt of the sword, the craftsman was so frightened that his face was like earth, and he hurriedly kowtowed: "The little ones can eat enough without going into battle to fight, how dare they cut corners, but those iron materials are unusable, and no matter how much the small ones save, they can't block here." ”

Gan Hui rolled his eyes, and his own soldiers went to arrest the quartermaster. I saw the craftsman say, "For the little one, please compare the original one with the modified one." ”

Dismantling the gun pipe from the back, you can see the firing mechanism of the two gun tubes, it is obvious that the self-modified iron is far inferior to the one used in Nanjing, and there is no doubt about cutting corners.

"Then you have been doing it for so long, and you haven't thought to come and declare?"

"The craftsman is a lowly person, if it weren't for the general asking us, where would we be able to see the general, except for the military master we dealt with, we didn't know anyone, where could we sue?"

Gan Hui asked how many more could be changed now, but the result was that the iron was used up and could not be changed. Helpless, Gan Hui had no choice but to accept this painful reality, he also forgot what he was doing here before, and walked back with his head down.

However, Gan Hui could not change the firing rate of his bird-fired soldiers, but he could change the fate of the iron-eating beast, and the bloody human head was sprinkled with lime and passed to the battalions.

After such twists and turns, it was already early the next morning when the army started again, and before dawn, the six thousand corps ate dry food and drank water before they started pulling out. When the troops behind were scolded and dragged up, all they saw was an open space dug in front of them.

At this time, the army marched about forty or fifty miles a day, and Gan Hui led these more than 5,000 people slightly above this average speed, and it only took half a day for the vanguard scouts to contact the Qing army.

Two groups of scouts were sent in succession, and the location of the Qing army was roughly determined, and Gan Hui ordered the whole army to change formations.

The flags of officers at all levels were constantly waving, giving all sorts of signals. According to the deployment, Gan Hui placed a deformed zigzag square: the upper one is slightly narrower, and the lower two are slightly longer. The slightly narrower mouth above is fronted by a single flintlock and a spearman at the back of the temple. The two slightly longer mouths at the back are arranged in the same way, except that the front ones are arranged by the bird skullmen and archers.

In Gan Hui's vision, the slightly narrower opening in front suddenly increased the speed of the fire after a round of fire, leading the Qing army to try to break through from both sides---- and then counter-attacked by the spear array in the two long mouths. If you don't take out three times the number of birds, then the Qing army will be beaten very badly, and the difficulty of doing this kind of micro-maneuver on the battlefield is tantamount to walking a tightrope without protection.

And if the Qing army really took a lot of trouble to make this kind of operation, Gan Hui felt that it would be enough to order the two products behind him to follow, and bombard the two wings of the Qing army that lacked bird guns with bird guns.

As for the advantage of the Qing cavalry, the two elongated mouths in the back themselves constituted a long depth, giving their own cavalry enough space to maneuver. There is no guarantee of victory, but as long as the odds are high, you can do it.

Cavalry, and not able to charge a well-trained infantry formation head-on. As long as the flanks were protected, the Qing cavalry could only play mounted archery at a distance of a few paces with a toy-like bow. Or simply dismount and act as a mounted infantry shot. However, the heavy arrows equipped by the Qing army did not fly very far, and if they were close enough, they would be regarded as targets in front of them......

Gan Hui is a little confident that even if there is a guy in his army who asks for money and does not want to die, he can still face one and a half to two times the opponent's strength and hold on.

In short, plan through.
