Yuan Tao was remorseful and killed several small leaders who did not work hard one after another, but the morale of each department was quite low.

Yuan Tao was quite annoyed, and when he was about to lead the supervision team to supervise the battle in order to encourage morale, Hu Jiusi felt panting and sighing, and said with a worried face: "Heavenly King, Hu Laosan took more than ten brothers out this morning, and he has been out for two or three hours, and there is no news." ”

Yuan Tao didn't care, shook his head and said: "Traveling thousands of miles, you are used to the happy days when you were born with a group of ringing horses, did this Hu Jiusi go to get rich with his brothers?" ”

Hu Jiusi's face was solemn, and he shook his head and said, "Heavenly King, before leaving, I specially explained to him and asked him to explore the way for his brothers."

This Jiulong Township can be broken today, and everyone has a job to do next. ”

Yuan Tao's face was pale, and then he smiled: "Hu Laosan is your person, and he didn't go out to make a fortune, so what did you say you were doing?"

There are only hundreds of soldiers and horses of Yang Wei within a radius of 100 miles in Zengkou County, and now he doesn't dare to come out of the city, besides that, who else in the world dares to beat me Yao Huang's idea? ”

Hu Jiu thought for a moment and said, "Could it be Yang Wei?" His men are only a few hundred men, and they don't dare to come to attack us. ”

Yuan Tao nodded, the whole person looked quite determined, patted the other party's shoulder and said: "This time we are attacking in two ways, we are in Jiulong Township, and the Huanglong Department is only more than 20 miles away, everyone can echo each other."

It's good that Yang Wei doesn't come out, if he dares to venture forward, Lao Tzu will tell him to go and never return.

As the saying goes, be careful, this time you don't attack the mountain, stay behind and press the formation, and protect everyone's safety. ”

Although nominally unified, Yao Huang's various cottages take care of themselves, especially now that there is a food shortage in various departments.

Hearing that the headquarters stayed in the rear to press the formation, Hu Jiusi was quite annoyed, but said that let it come from Xiangma, and there were many cavalry in the department, which was conducive to field warfare and not conducive to siege the city?

After thinking about it, Hu Jiusi further said: "Xiangma, Yang Wei has no cavalry, and there are only hundreds of people in his department, so there is nothing to worry about.

What I'm really worried about is Yang Lin, since he led the troops, he has often been surprised, if he leads his troops to come this time, it will be too late to regret it. ”

Everyone shook their heads and laughed when they heard this, especially Yuan Tao, who slapped each other's shoulders with both hands and said, "Traveling thousands of miles, you are probably frightened, how can you talk this kind of nonsense?"

Yang Lin's garrison is more than 400 miles away from this county, not to mention that it has to guard against the Great Western Army, even if he does not want to lead his troops to the fate, more than 400 miles, it will take seven or eight days to forcibly march (more than 50 miles a day), if you consider the intermediate information transmission, it will take ten days no matter what.

It was only five days before and after our army's expedition this time, and even if the divine soldiers descended from the sky, it would be impossible to lead their troops to help.

Don't be a soldier, just a little more vigilant. ”

Everyone said yes, Hu Jiusi also thought about it by himself and felt impossible, not to mention the infantry, even if it took four or five days to lead the elite cavalry.

Hu Jiusi led more than 100 riders to press the formation in the rear, and some riders were heartbroken and let the horses graze by the river.

Since the beginning of autumn, there is not enough food to eat, and people have suffered from horses, and they are no longer as good as in the past, and they are fed coarse grains and weeds all day and night, and their fat loss is very bad.

Everyone was very relaxed, Hu Jiusi was also bored, and the whole person sat on the horse and took a nap.

At three o'clock in the afternoon (three o'clock in the afternoon and five o'clock in the afternoon), the horses grazing and grazing by the river seemed to be frightened, and two of them kept running back and forth and neighing, no matter how tame the riders were, they just grazing quietly along the river.

When Hu Jiusi was surprised, he suddenly saw a puff of dust rising half a mile away in the south.

Everyone was shocked, everyone was in a mess, and some even put their ears to the ground to listen carefully.

Unlike the previous life, the sparsely populated areas in ancient times have not been developed much, especially in the hills of northern Sichuan, which are even more hilly, and it is difficult for everyone to find distant targets on the mountainside.

The war horse galloped and the earth shook, so some strange people in the folk judged how much the other party rode by sticking their ears to the ground.

Hu Jiusi shouted to everyone to be on guard, while looking at the dog baby anxiously, and his face turned pale when he heard that he was coming to ride more than 100 rides.

Grabbing the other party, Hu Jiusi shook his head and said: "You, you are talking nonsense, there are only hundreds of Yang Wei people and horses within a radius of 100 miles, why did you come here with more than 100 horses at once?" ”

The dog baby seemed quite wronged and didn't dare to make a sound.

The master next to him rolled his eyes, asserting that it was just a suspicious tactic, and he just found more than 100 cattle to relieve the siege.

But then the scene was unexpected, and before everyone had finished gathering, more than 100 riders appeared in the distance, lined up in three rows, each row was more than 50 steps apart, and now they were galloping.

Although Hu Jiusi felt bad, he was afraid that he would be laughed at for being the first to run away, and everyone was defenseless at all, if he fled without a fight, the dozens of war horses that were grazing would be taken away by the other party.

Hu Jiusi led more than 20 horsemen around him to rush over, hoping to temporarily entangle the other party and gain time before withdrawing.

The two sides rushed closer and closer, and seeing that the other party had no intention of stopping to shoot arrows, Hu Jiusi was a little relieved.

In the ancient battlefield, the general's martial arts were not measured by whether the sword and gun were proficient, not whether they could fight several people at a time, but whether they could ride and shoot.

The two sides are getting closer and closer, some see that the opponent's war horse is braving sparks and feel that the situation is not good, so they quickly tighten the reins of the horse and no longer rush forward, and there are also small half brave and brave and not afraid of death, and beat the horse desperately to charge forward.

When the two sides were about 20 steps apart, they saw the other party stabilize their bodies with one hand, and raise a two-foot-long short gun with the other hand to simply aim.

Although the galloping war horse is not easy to aim, the two sides are very close to each other, and the three barrels of these three-eyed guns pull the trigger and fire at the same time, which increases the hit rate.

Of the nearly ten riders who rushed forward to meet them, four or five were shot by the three-eyed guns, and the others who survived were also frightened, and fled backwards with their bodies on their horses.

After the 30 or so horsemen in the front row of the Volunteers were hit by a single blow, some stopped to reload the gunpowder, while others used the Three-Eyed Gun as a short stick, brandishing the short stick and charging at some of the frightened Tyrant riders who were fleeing in all directions.

The Vigilant riders in the back row roared to kill the riders who had not had time to put on their saddle pedals, and then fired their three-eyed guns at close range.

If the bird gun is a foreign import, the Ming Dynasty people quoted Western firearms, then the three-eyed gun is a native of China, although many people in later generations criticized its many weaknesses, but there is no doubt that this is a Ming Dynasty firearm with quite strong firepower.

The length of these three-eyed guns is less than half of the bird's guns, coupled with poor air tightness, the power is far inferior to the bird's guns, the solid projectile can break heavy armor ten meters away, and can shoot unarmored targets at a distance of thirty meters.

However, due to its short length, it can be considered a riding gun from a certain point of view, and it is very suitable for horses.

The ordinary bird gun has only one barrel, while the three-eyed gun has three barrels, and the three guns can be fired at the same time, forming a powerful fire network in a short period of time.

Objective and fair analysis, the three-eyed gun was a very powerful primitive cavalry gun in the late Ming Dynasty, by sacrificing accuracy, sacrificing power in exchange for immediate use, in exchange for dense firepower network.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Li Chengliang, a famous general, crisscrossed Liaodong for decades, and the biggest secret weapon was the three-eyed gun, which had a great advantage in the face of ordinary cavalry, and the rider equipped with the three-eyed gun had a great advantage.

Although they show off their martial arts on weekdays, many of the Yao Huang cavalry can't ride and shoot, and everyone mostly rushes through cavalry to march soldiers, or fights back and forth through sabers to chase and kill the rout.

was suddenly attacked, everyone was caught off guard and had no time to concentrate, coupled with the fierce firepower of the opponent's three-eyed gun, many people were scattered before they had time to concentrate.

Hu Jiusi lost his armor and did not dare to fight at all, and fled with three or five cronies, and the victory and defeat were divided as soon as the two sides fought, and nearly a hundred Yao Huang riders were scattered before they fought.
