Xianju is a river transportation artery, but this place is surrounded by mountains and surrounded by water, and it is not too important place, although the enemy also takes a fancy to it, but it does not install a cannon at the head of the city, so Zhao Siyang's artillery battalion is simply a performance.

"Kill, kill, kill." Most of Du Ge's troops were elite soldiers who had been tempered by the war, and even if they were replenished and surrendered, because of the high morale of the surrounding comrades, because the morale of the previous victory in Xin'an County was stimulated, they had not yet rushed under the enemy's city wall, and they shouted in unison and were intimidating.

The 5,000 Qing troops at the head of the city, and the 1,000 squires and powerful families trembled with fright.

The power of the volley of Fran's machine guns made all the defenders in Xianju County even more frightened, and at the same time, they suffered heavy losses.

"Boom" a city gate tower collapsed.

Suddenly, the nearby villagers scattered and fled, so angry that the Qing army generals led people to chase and kill them, and the Qing soldiers were also very demoralized.

In the space of an afternoon, the siege engines were able to push under the city walls.

The Qing army attacked them with rolling wood and stones, and greeted the soldiers who charged ahead with hot oil.

Yes, in order not to lose his own troops, Zhang Qiang pulled those surrendered troops directly over, threw them weapons, and then let the artillery bombard behind them and let them charge.

In order to survive, in order not to return to the prisoner camp to suffer, those soldiers have taken out the strength to eat, saw the fierceness of the enemy, desperately advanced, dropped sandbags, stranded the moat, built a passage for the siege vehicles and attacking soldiers to advance, pushed the siege vehicles to brave the rain of arrows at the head of the city, and moved forward.

In addition to some of the most heinous soldiers who have committed the paving work, that is, the 1,000 people in Xin'an County, who have just been conquered, the attacks are those who have committed lesser crimes, and there are also some Han army banners who surrender their troops, and if they win, they can get their sentences commuted, and those who perform well can be directly turned into soldiers.

And Du Ge's regular soldiers followed behind and pressed them forward.

This is the method that Du Ge kid came up with.

It can both consume those prisoners, punish the enemy, and reduce the losses of its own soldiers.

When the night was dark, the entire Xianju County was filled with the sound of killing.

Consumed nearly 800 people brought by Xin'an County, and finally filled the moat, 200 Qing army prisoners who committed the most heinous crimes pushed the siege cart to the city wall, 1,000 prisoners used the tree of life to set up 300 siege ladders, 1,000 prisoners opened the gap, 1,000 prisoners killed into the city, Du Ge's soldiers attacked the city along the open city gate, and in the second half of the night, another thousand prisoners died, and finally took Xianju County.

The 5,000 Qing army was wiped out, and Xianju County became a hell on earth.

Half of the shaved people were slaughtered, and the remaining half had to become inferior residents, responsible for heavy taxes, hard labor, and conscription of 3,000 people.

And those who survived and behaved well, as soon as they turned around, became the auxiliaries of the rebels, each carrying a piece of red cloth on his arm, wearing captured cloth armor, bamboo armor, and wooden shields, and doing the work of guarding the prisoners and their former prisoners.

Du Ge returned to Zhang Qiang's tent of the Chinese army, "My lord, the statistics have come out, our army has suffered seventy casualties, destroyed seven thousand enemy troops, of which three thousand were killed, three thousand were captured, and another three thousand people were captured, and our people lost 5,000 people, but 1,300 people turned into regular troops and became our auxiliary troops." ”

Zhang Qiang knocked on his brain, "This method of the Liukou is very expensive, and it is really not easy to use, and it loses 5,000 people at once, but only gains 1,300 soldiers, and the transaction is a big loss." ”

Du Ge said with a smile: "My lord, in addition to the remaining more than 1,000 people, we got 1,300 Qing soldiers who went through the baptism of war and gave us a certificate of surrender, these soldiers killed the people of the Qing army, and we also deliberately let go of many Qing army leaders. ”

Zhang Qiang sat and patted the arm of the chair, "Well, it is someone else's strength that is losing money, no matter whose it is, anyway, our regular soldiers have not suffered much loss, in this way, this method is good, you send someone to ask Zhou Congee to transfer the remaining more than 5,000 soldiers, those are all extremely evil, or the responsibility is lighter, let them just work too cheaply for them, they should be sent to death." ”

Raising his head, he looked at Du Ge, "Is there anything else?" ”

Du Ge said: "Xin'an County has not seized much, but 10,000 taels of silver and 2,000 stone of grain, and we have seized 200,000 taels of silver and 30,000 stone of grain here, in addition," he shouted outside, "Present it." ”

"We found this."

Zhang Qiang looked at Du Ge's personal soldiers suspiciously, opened a box, and took out an arquebus from it.

"What is this?"

"Portuguese arquebus, my lord."

Du Ge said.

Zhang Qiang stood up, although there were a lot of guns used by the Ming army and captured the Qing army, but not much, after the training of the troops, there were a lot of losses, Zhang Qiang is currently worried about his own troops wanting to expand the firecracker troops, and there is no firecracker.

The grape arquebus, not to mention how advanced it was compared to the guns equipped by the Ming and Qing armies, but there is one point, it is definitely much better in terms of workmanship and durability.

Think about it, the probability of exploding the chamber is low, at least lower than that of the Ming army and the Qing army, the accuracy is slightly better, and the quality is relatively better, which is the weapons and equipment that Zhang Qiang's current firecracker troops urgently need.

Zhang Qiang picked up the arquebus, and observed carefully, it was obvious that the workmanship was superior to the Ming army, and they were all new, which was much better than the Portuguese arquebus that Zhang Qiang found in Zhu Mansion and bought by Zhu Dadian, who had been sitting for a long time.

"How many?" Zhang Qiang asked as he looked at it.

Du Ge said: "My lord, there are a total of 800 rods, of which 750 rods are better preserved, and the other 50 rods were damaged in the war when resisting our attack, this is the best 800 rods I asked people to pick, there were originally 1,000 rods, but they used 200 rods, either missing or damaged, only these are still intact in the warehouse." ”

"Okay, take it all out and equip my troops." With a wave of his hand, Zhang Qiang found the best user for these weapons.

Du Ge said cautiously: "My lord, can you leave some for me too?" ”

Zhang Qiang looked at him sideways, saw that he was a little hairy, laughed awkwardly, and Zhang Qiang said, "Leave you three hundred strokes." Du Ge immediately turned into a sincere smile, and just wanted to thank Zhang Qiang, Zhang Qiang added: "Wait until my troops are replaced with 300 firearms." ”

Du Ge's smile cooled, and finally the expression on his face became a constipated expression.

Zhang Qiang patted him on the shoulder, "My unit is an all-firepower unit and can play the maximum effectiveness, and you can't play much role with this unit, so - thank me for my favor to you!" ”

Du Ge's laughter is more ugly than crying, is there such a master?

But something is better than nothing.

Du Ge changed his mood and role, and became a loyal subordinate again, "My lord, what should we do next?" ”
