Chapter 149: Sweet and Sweet

Wen Yu in the city of Texas has almost become an ant on a hot pot, and the imperial court has issued several decrees to inquire about the bandits in Texas, but there has been no news of Guoxing'a for several days. Sitting in the lobby of the Dezhou Mansion, although Wen Yu was still calm on his face, his heart was full of thoughts.

"Lord Zhongcheng, military report!" Zhao Xin, the governor of Texas, hurriedly walked in.

"What's the matter?" These Tianwenyu have heard too many military reports, but it is just that the twist bandits attacked that town, and the twist bandits slaughtered that town, and so on, and there has never been any good news.

"Pingyuan County ordered an urgent report, Guoxing Asuobu returned to Texas through the plains early this morning, and encountered the twisted bandits thirty miles north of Pingyuan City, and is now in a fierce battle." Zhao Xin's face was excited.

"How many bandits are there?" If Guo Xing'a catches up with a certain bandit, Wen Yu will be as happy as Zhao Xin, at least some things will be taken out to give to the imperial court. But encountering this word, Wen Yu is a little familiar, he is so defeated, and a bad premonition arises spontaneously.

"Lord Huizhongcheng, the Pingyuan County Commander sent a brave soldier to investigate, and the main force of the bandits is about 20,000 people." Zhao Xin didn't have Wen Yu's worries at all, in the eyes of this Lord Zhao, Guo Xing'a was a figure like Chen Qing, and the 20,000 twisted bandits were not a problem at all. Didn't Guo Xing'a himself say that Li Xiucheng and Chen Yucheng didn't beat him with 100,000 long hairs?

"It's another blow! It's another blow! How good is that! Wen Yu's face turned white all of a sudden, he didn't believe that Guoxing had the courage to be inappropriate.

"The Eight Banners are brave, just 20,000 thieves are not enough to worry about, Lord Zhongcheng is waiting for the good news!" Zhao Xinzhi is full of confidence.

"Ridiculous! How dare you be so hasty in military affairs, Guoxing'a is besieged by 20,000 troops, is it child's play! Immediately ordered the green battalion in the city and the garrison of the Eight Banners, reorganize the army, and follow the old man out of the city to rescue Guoxinga an hour later! "Wen Yu is in a hurry! Last time he was ambushed, the Twist Army only dispatched about 7,000 people, but this time it actually mobilized 20,000 people, even if Guo Xing'a can fight than Tuomin'a, he can't bear it! Although Wen Yu didn't like this little brother who knew money very much, the overall situation of Shandong and the relationship between the two blue flags made him have to rescue Guoxing'a.

"Huh! What adults teach is that! Zhao Xin didn't have a bad habit of talking back, but he was extremely disapproving.

When Overseer Wen Yu arrived at the battlefield fifty miles away, it was already the morning of the next day, which was already the fastest speed of the Green Battalion and the Eight Banners. After arriving at the battlefield, everyone below Wen Yu could stuff a goose egg in their mouths, and this scene was really shocking. As the saying goes, there are thousands of people without boundaries, and tens of thousands of corpses are actually boundless, and if you add the corpses of mules and horses, the scene is even more spectacular. Wen Yu and the others seemed to have come to a sea of corpses, endless corpses, and occasionally a few people wearing Qing military uniforms walked through the corpse pile.

"Gross! ......After all, Wen Yu is a civilian official, although he has also been in battle for a long time, but such a scene is too shocking, and everywhere he can see is a bloody corpse, Wen Yu fell on the horse and vomited loudly.

"Mother!" Several officers of the Green Battalion wailed, turned around and ran, this Shura Hell was really not the place for them to stay. As soon as the officer ran, hundreds of soldiers followed, howling and venting their fears as they ran. Several battalion officers were quite calm, although they also vomited, but they still chased after them in time and drove the people back with their whips. You can run if you are defeated, but if you look at the battlefield, you can run, and they won't have to mix in the future.

In fact, whether it is Wen Yu or the people in the green camp, they are used to seeing corpses, and it stands to reason that they will not be so unbearable. The Green Battalion soldiers have even done the slaughter of the town, where can they be so cowardly. However, the corpses they have seen are all scattered, and the visual impact is not so serious, the corpses here are all next to each other, and there is no place to put their feet, and the visual impact naturally increases geometrically.

The Eight Banners maintained the team very well, whether it was Wen Yu vomiting or the Green Battalion soldiers escaping, these Eight Banners disciples were motionless, they were already scared stupid. After seeing such a scene, many people would have nightmares after they went back, but many of the Eight Banners soldiers were already stuck in nightmares and couldn't get out, and they were scared crazy.

Not to mention the people brought by Wen Yu, even the people of Guoxing'a are not much better, and this is the first time they have seen this kind of intensive killing. Although they killed people, and their courage was better than that of Wen Yu and others, vomiting was inevitable. Fortunately during the war, after a night of rest in the pile of dead people, except for the war maniac Bi Yuntao, the first thing almost every officer woke up was to vomit first. Although the ten machine gunners are not crazy, their eyes are always a little glazed, and it is obvious that they are all mentally problematic and take a long time to recover.

Goxinga vomited three or four times before it was better, and he could only be distracted by repairing the machine gun. After a battle, all 12,000 rounds of ammunition were exhausted, less than 5,000 rounds of ammunition could be reloaded, and all the others needed to be reheated. The two machine guns were also broken due to the high temperature of the barrel, jamming and other problems, although not as serious as the bore, but also the problems of various parts and the need for a complete overhaul. The only thing that doesn't need to be repaired is the magazine, a hundred magazines to the point where the quality is good, not a single one is broken.

The overall performance of the machine gun, Guo Xing'a is quite satisfied, but there are still many problems. Gatling is not a Maxim after all, no matter how it is modified, it is also flawed, but it has a certain effect, and in the end it is still necessary to rely on rifles and artillery to solve the problem. Because of the addition of a double-row magazine of one hundred and twenty rounds, the main shooter's field of vision was blocked, and Goxinga did not dare to let the main shooter aim by himself, so the task of aiming was completed by the secondary shooter. As a result, the shooting accuracy is not high, and only group targets can be attacked. Moreover, the rate of fire cannot achieve the purpose of blockading the battlefield, so it can only be suppressed strongly, and a rifle is still needed to check and fill in the gaps. But just in terms of the current technical conditions, it is already a very good auxiliary weapon. After Guoxing'a is ready to receive a large number of machines purchased by Rong Hong, the large-scale production of Gatling must at least be carried out one by one, so that the Qing army has a certain firepower advantage when it confronts the British and French forces.

"Lord Zhongcheng is working hard!" Hearing that Wen Yu was coming with someone, Guo Xing'a hurriedly came out to greet him, and the boss who hired a murderer to pay the bill.

"Yun Shuai has worked hard, how are the results!" Wen Yu was in no mood to be polite with Guo Xing, so he came up and asked about the results.

"Lord Zhongcheng! Our department has suffered heavy losses! In this battle, our troops lost more than 5,000 mules and horses, wounded more than 70 people, and consumed countless ammunition and other materials. Lord Zhongcheng must make every effort to replenish, and our army can continue to fight! Guo Xing'a didn't bother to talk about what he had seized, did he also tell Wen Yu about Guo Xing'a just playing with the three-finger-wide carved gold bracelet in the tent! Guo Xing'a only said what he consumed, and the meaning was very simple - give money. Of course, Guo Xing'a's words are full of water, such as the so-called lost 5,000 mules and horses, and there are indeed more than 5,000 useless mules and horses that Guo Xing'a abandoned before the war, but after the war, he captured 15,000 mules and horses. Goxinga's battle losses and captures are calculated separately, and it cannot be said that he slandered people.

"You...... Well, how about destroying the enemy? "If Xing'a was Wen Yu's subordinate, Wen Yu would have whipped him with a big ear, but Guo Xing'a is a guest army after all, although he only has money in his eyes, Wen Yu can only endure it.

"More than 11,000 bandits were beheaded and more than 4,000 enemies were captured. However, many of the captives were civilians in nearby towns who had been coerced by the bandits, and there were also some women who had been looted by the bandits, and the general was sending someone to screen them! "Guo Xing's attitude is very clear, everyone is yours, and you can do it if you want to share the merits, as for other things, I'm sorry that there is nothing.

"There are only more than 10,000 bandits left in Texas?" Wen Yu folded his fingers and counted for a while, and was pleasantly surprised to find that this battle could be described as a decisive battle, and more than half of the 30,000 bandits had been defeated.

"The main force should have been defeated, and only some remnants of the defeated generals are still flowing, and then they will be safe and sound!" According to Guoxing's calculations, two or three thousand were knocked out outside the city of Texas, and two or three thousand were killed in the follow-up bandits, and fifteen thousand were solved here at once, and there were only 10,000 people left in the Twist Army. And among the remaining people, there must be many who dare not stay in Shandong, and it is estimated that there are many who run back to northern Anhui and Henan.

"Yun Shuai is really a rare fierce general in the world! After cleaning up the battlefield, I asked Yun Shuai to return to Texas with the old man, so as to reward the soldiers! Wen Yu was in a good mood, and he felt that Guoxinga was a baby, and it was time to go back to Texas to pay the bill. Wen Yu began to appreciate Guoxing'a again, although Guoxing's greed for money is like the courtiers in a pawnshop in Shanxi, but he has the ability!

"Thank you, Lord Zhongcheng!" Guo Xing'a is also smiling, and he has another 50,000 taels in the account! Moreover, there were a lot of seizures this time, and the Twist Army almost robbed all the towns under the jurisdiction of Texas, and the money and food were very abundant. In addition, Guo Xing'a is also ready to sell Wen Yu's personal favor, and after receiving the final payment, Guo Xing'a is ready to give Wen Yu a small gift package to clean up the bandits. These remnants all ran away with money, and there were materials in their purses, so of course Guo Xing'a had to clean them up.

The Twist Army has never had the opportunity to get close to the Qing Army's simulation, so no one in the Guoxing Asuo Department died, but some unlucky people were just shot. Annihilated more than 10,000 bandits without killing a single person, Guo Xing's great martial arts made him famous in the land of Qilu at once. Back in Dezhou City, Wen Yu and Zhao Xinda held a feast, not to mention, all the civil and military came to show their hospitality, and Guo Xing'a felt a little hot for a while.

When Guo Xing'a was eating and drinking in Dezhou City, two 800-mile urgent letters were sent to Emperor Xianfeng in Beijing, one from Qinglian, the governor of Henan, and the other from Wenyu, the governor of Shandong. The content of the two letters is similar, that is, the meaning is that the bandits are in a tight situation in the chaotic territory, and they need the imperial court to send troops to support. Moreover, both of them have their favorite candidates to lead the troops, and they are actually both alone, and they both want to assign Guo Xing'a to their command.

"Guoxing's kid has become a fragrant glutton, what does the senior brother think?" Xianfeng also knew that there were bandits in Henan and Shandong, and at first Su Shun also considered transferring Guoxing A to quell the bandits, but Xianfeng himself had some ideas, so he handed the fold to Du Han for a look, wanting to hear the advice of this fellow brother.

"The two places do need some soldiers and horses to support, but Guo Xing'a is afraid that something is wrong!" It was Du Han who wanted to transfer Goheunga back to Gyeonggi in the first place, and he didn't want to slap himself in the face.

"What does Senior Brother think?" Xianfeng needs some reasons, and of course he has to use them to gag his mouth.

"Since the defeat of Tianjin, the British and French have been secretly planning to fight again, although the monk king can be safe from defending Tianjin, but it is better to strengthen the Gyeonggi garrison to be safe. In addition, the horse bandits on the ground in Zhili have been rampant recently, and the prefectures and counties have not been able to suppress them, and the Eight Banners stationed in our garrison should return to defense. And Guoxing's department has been away from the station for a long time, and he is homesick, so he should also be appeased!" At first, Du Han just casually found some reasons, and only after talking did he realize that Gyeonggi was indeed a little empty.

"It's okay, Shandong and Henan will send some flag soldiers outside the customs to go over! As for Goxinga, it's time for him to go home and rest! Su Shun said yesterday that this kid was nosy in Shandong, and he annihilated more than 10,000 people in the Twist Army. Give his generals a higher level, and as for him, I won't reward him, let him help his Amma's coffin home! "Xianfeng has a saying that is not easy to say, this elite soldier is still more at ease by his side, and some small messes in other provinces are not worried.
