Although the battle was unfavorable, the Huguang soldiers and horses and the four guards who were defeated and surrendered, even if they personally led these thousands of soldiers and horses, they also suffered heavy casualties, and the only thing that is gratifying now is to find the location of Yang Lin's army.

Seeing that the Great Western Army was about to storm the big tent of the Chinese army, the escort regiment no longer met the enemy in the car guard formation as before, and some even rushed out, hoping to delay the offensive of the Great Western Army.

Now the two sides are basically fighting for their lives, although the heart hurts, but Zhang Ding's biggest luxury in the country is this.

In the face of the white pole soldiers in his twenties, the other party was also not afraid of death, Zhang Dingguo led a team of soldiers and horses to kill, shot the crossbow Zhang Ling, and became famous in one fell swoop.

Now, although the volunteers are desperately resisting, as long as they can fire Yang Lin, they will definitely be able to turn the world upside down.

At the cost of more than ten casualties, Zhang Dingguo led his troops to rush to the mountain pass, but more than ten two-wheeled vehicles blocked the way.

In the face of the rushing Western Army, more than 100 volunteers blocked the way, and everyone fought very cautiously and let go from afar.

Zhang Dingguo put his hand on the cold and looked at the scene on the other side carefully, but there was no familiar face, he was annoyed, and the captain of the pro-soldier next to him pointed to the top of the mountain and said: "My lord, then, the one on the top of the mountain is undoubtedly Yang Lin." ”

A smile appeared at the corner of Zhang Dingguo's mouth, and he took off a man-high crossbow and aimed it at a distant target.

At this time, Yang Lin also found the other party on his horse, and saw that the other party was actually under a cliff more than 20 meters away, aiming at the target two hundred steps away, and felt incredible.

Yang Lin can talk and laugh, but Qian Bangqi and others are different, seeing that the other party is aiming at the main general, while pulling with his hands, he drinks to protect the surrounding soldiers.

Yang Lin was turning his head to scold, and suddenly found that something was wrong, only to see an arrow piercing through the sky.

I had the intention to dodge, but the war horse did not listen to the call, and when I saw that I was about to fall off the horse with an arrow, I suddenly saw a figure flashing in front of me, and a horse was behind me.

In the screams of everyone, the other party fell off the horse, and Yang Lin also reacted and hurriedly turned over and dismounted.

As soon as they jumped off their horses, two sharp arrows swept by their sides, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Yang Lin sat on the ground, and the soldiers around him rushed over to protect the left and right, and woke up from the panic just now, shouting loudly: "Leave me alone, I'm fine." Who saved my life, who saved my life. ”

Yang Wei, the captain of the pro-guard next to him, said: "Fourth brother, it's a dog baby." ”

Yang Lin stumbled up, looked at the dog baby who only had air in and no air out, and held his hand, hoping to make him feel warm.

Next to him, Qian Bangxin grabbed Yang Lin's arm and said, "My lord, the dog baby is desperate to protect the master, and his loyalty is commendable."

But Zhang Dingguo fired three arrows in a row, and the life and death of the lord were uncertain, and the whole army was also uneasy, so the lord should come forward to appease the hearts of the army. ”

Yang Lin glared at Qian Bangxin fiercely, slapped the dog baby on the arm, stood up under the protection of the guards, and shouted with grief: "Brother Ning Yu is a hero, the crossbow can actually shoot at a target three hundred steps away, it is indeed gratifying." ”

Zhang Dingguo was shocked, looked up, and said in disbelief: "Yang Ruzhen, you, you are not injured?" ”

Yang Lin laughed and said: "Brother Ning Yu is a hero, if it weren't for my personal soldiers and dogs and babies desperately protecting the master, I might have broken in your hands today."

Brother Ning Yu is a good method, which is really enviable. ”

Zhang Dingguo smiled awkwardly.

Yang Lin pulled out his sword and said loudly: "The Great Western Army has no way, and it has not done anything in the past two years since it entered Sichuan, and it only knows how to plunder, and only knows how to mutilate our Sichuan people."

Although Zhang Dingguo is a hero, he recognizes the thief as his father and recognizes Zhang Xianzhong as his father-in-law, and those who kill Zhang Dingguo on the battlefield will be promoted to three levels and rewarded with a thousand taels of silver.

Those who captured Zhang Dingguo alive were promoted to the fifth level and rewarded with 3,000 taels of silver. ”

This can be said to be the biggest reward that Yang Lin can offer, everyone saw that Yang Lin was not injured, and they saw such a huge reward thunderous.

Zhang Dingguo originally wanted to continue shooting crossbows from a long distance, but the three arrows just now consumed a lot of vitality, and now that Yang Lin was alert and hiding among the crowd, it would definitely be even more difficult to hit again.

And continuing to attack the mountain and capture Yang Lin alive, not to mention the personal soldiers to defend the various strongholds in the mountain pass, it is also even more difficult to deal with the reinforcements of the various volunteers.

Surprisingly, the first to arrive was Wang Zhibang's barracks.

When the two personal soldiers came down to the camp, Wang Zhibang took the lead and said: "Senator, the two armies are in the middle of a battle, do you not trust us?"

So far, our troops have been left to the sidelines, and they have not been engaged in the battle at all. ”

Yin Chengqi swept a few generals who had been placed in, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Although Zhang Xianzhong is unreasonable and cruels living beings, this Zhang Dingguo is still a character.

The adults were worried that everyone would be embarrassed, so they did not arrange for everyone to participate in the battle.

Now the situation is in crisis, although Feng Youqingtuan and Ma Mingluan's battalion are crossing the river, but it will take time, and the old man ordered the old man to come and transfer your Wang General to assault the flank of the Great Western Army.

Ladies and gentlemen, everyone is raised by their parents, and adults have never treated everyone badly, but now that adults are in danger, will everyone stand idly by? ”

Many people replied loudly, and Yin Chengqi was overjoyed when he saw this, and immediately led his troops to attack from behind.

The barracks are composed of elite men selected from the surrendered troops, and everyone has been with the army for several years, and some have participated in many battles, and the impact of the battlefield is very great.

Now in order to correct himself, Wang Zhibang also went out, led everyone under the cover of muskets, rushed over, and fought against the war horse.

Although the cavalry was fast and mobile, it mainly fought in the plains, and there were many hills in Sichuan, which was not conducive to cavalry field warfare.

Seeing that he was unable to defeat the opponent and had no chance to shoot the opponent's main general, Zhang Dingguo was worthy of being a veteran of the battlefield and able to fight well, and found that the situation was unfavorable and turned around and withdrew.

Bu Ning, Yao Chonglie, Yang Cheng, Long Zhijiao, Wang Zhibang and others led their troops to pursue for more than 20 miles before stopping, and the battle in Suining was basically over from then on.

Zhang Dingguo and Bai Wenxuan had 30,000 soldiers and horses, although there were only more than 5,000 soldiers who could really fight well, but only more than 3,000 people really escaped.

The volunteers took advantage of the situation to capture Shehong County and entered the city, everyone talked about Zhang Dingguo's counterattack, Yang Lin still had palpitations, and the generals also admired it.

In addition to admiration, everyone began to review the gains and losses of the war, just as everyone admonished, Yang Lin also thought that he was too big, and the Chinese army was too weak.

There is an infantry regiment and two regiments of cavalry to form the Chinese army, although it is more than enough to protect itself in the face of ordinary enemy troops, but it is powerless in the face of generals like Zhang Dingguo.

In addition, the firearms of the Ming Dynasty that should be reviewed are less powerful because the barrel is only 13mm, which can only be filled with 3 yuan of lead.

In the past, the Volunteers faced a rabble with little armor, and of course they were able to win with muskets.

Now in the face of neatly draped elite soldiers and horses, although fifty steps can break the heavy armor, but the lethality is limited, and some brave people are still desperately rushing to kill after the middle, which has a great impact on the battlefield.

This is probably a major problem for the Ming army at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and everyone has a lot of discussions, and everyone has everything to say.

Some people suggested the use of a big bird gun, the barrel is too short to lead to the leakage of medicinal power, Song Yingxing and others to solve the problem is to increase the length of the barrel, the experiment proves that only need to increase the barrel to 1 meter 2, the length of the whole gun reaches 1 meter five, not only can break the heavy armor, but also can shoot the target under the heavy armor.

It can be explained that the late ordnance research and development personnel, and the general warriors realized that in order to increase the power of the bird gun, the length of the bird gun should be increased.

Now that I heard Yang Lin mention it, everyone brought up the old things again, and everyone seemed very helpless.

As a traverser, although Yang Lin doesn't believe it, there is no other way, just like Nobel invented explosives, if yellow powder is used, the power of the bird gun will of course be doubled.

But I didn't study chemistry, and I didn't know how to make yellow powder, so now I can only be in a hurry.

When he was puzzled, he suddenly looked up and saw the heavy arrows and light arrows in Wang Zhibang's arrow fight, and he had an idea in his heart.

smiled, motioned for Wang Zhibang to hand it over, and immediately asked how to shoot.

As a general, Wang Zhibang was flattered and immediately explained.

This hard bow shoots heavy arrows, although the range is short, but the lethality is very large, and the soft bow shoots light arrows, although it shoots far, but the lethality is quite limited.

If you only need to enlarge the muzzle of the gun by 1/4 and the cubic of 1.25 by nearly 2 times, you can shoot 6 gold of lead with 5 yuan of gunpowder.

According to the law of impulse, mass * velocity = force * duration of action

Even at the same ejection speed, the power is twice as strong as before.

Yang Lin was overjoyed, and immediately asked people to study, so it took three months to develop a new type of big bird gun.

This kind of thick bird gun is close to 10 catties, and in order to avoid exploding the chamber, a full layer is thickened at the bottom of the barrel.

Due to the heavy barrel, you can't shoot with a flat gun like in the past, but you need to shoot it against the shoulder bone.

However, due to the large amount of gunpowder, this kind of bird gun is very easy to explode, and if it is not clean, it may explode more than 20 times in a row.

Due to the low power of ordinary bird guns, if it is not for cutting corners in the manufacturing process, there are few explosions.

But there is no doubt that this thick bird gun is very powerful, compared to the barrel of 1.2 meters, the whole gun length of 1.5 meters is not far behind.

In fact, the people of the Ming Dynasty have realized that the weight of lead is different, and there is a kind of turtledove foot gun in Guangdong Province in the Ming Dynasty, and the weight of the lead reaches more than 50 grams, which is amazingly powerful.

However, the coarse bird gun (suitable for large arm strength), large bird gun (suitable for strong arm strength and tall stature), and bird gun (suitable for ordinary bird guns) have advantages, and they coexist for a long time for a period of time, and it is not slowly solved after the rifling is introduced after a few years.

This is a later story, and it is also a major gain from this war.

Of course, this thick bird gun is not a very perfect weapon, just like the long bird gun that appeared in history (the Qing Dynasty appeared to raise the gun), it can only be regarded as a historical transition product, to really solve the problem of the power of the bird gun, when optimizing the ratio of gunpowder, when using rifling.

But the protagonist is a traverser after all, and it is impossible to know too much about firearms. Even if you know it very well, it can't be too abrupt or give the impression that there are a lot of gold fingers.
