When Mao Wenlong, Liu Xingzuo, Yuan Shu and others arrived, the street in front of the Dingzhou Government Office, three floors inside and three floors outside, was full of people. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The three floors inside are the flags with red flags that came from the nearby police, and there are about four or five hundred people, while the three or more layers outside are part of the remaining hundreds of Fuzhou soldiers under Liu Xingzuo's command, and the other part is more than 1,000 elite Chinese soldiers in Dongjiang Town who led Mao Wenlong to fight all the way in the city.

With the arrival of Mao Wenlong, the elite of the Chinese army in Dongjiang Town, which followed him, increased by hundreds at once.

Today, the small Dingzhou government office is close to the left, and the street in front of the yaqian is not spacious, and nearly 3,000 people are crowded in front and back.

Liu Xingzuo looked at the situation in front of him, and his side completely had an advantage in terms of numbers and equipment, so he relaxed in his heart, and said to Mao Wenlong: "Great marshal, the 12th Belle Azig is now in the official office in front of him, and it is a great credit to take Azig, regardless of life or death." ”

Liu Xingzuo was about to continue speaking, when he suddenly saw the door of the official office open suddenly, and a group of people suddenly rushed out of it, and suddenly exclaimed: "Dashuai, I'm afraid that Jianyu is going to fight to the death!" ”

Mao Wenlong laughed loudly when he heard this, and said coldly: "The slave chief wants to fight to the death, and it is just right to come at this time!" After speaking, he nodded heavily at Yuan Shu.

At this time, a group of Jianyu who rushed out of the door shouted loudly: "Protect the master, rush hard!" ”

The soldiers who were originally holding swords and shields outside the door, hearing this shout, suddenly started and slashed at the Ming soldiers who were approaching.

The crowd in front of the Dingzhou Government Office was suddenly like a boulder falling into a calm pond, and a powerful shock wave was instantly generated around it.

The encirclement of the Ming army, which was originally tighter and closer, was also quickly loosened and expanded a lot, and the soldiers inside kept retreating.

At this time, Mao Zhongming suddenly shouted: "Listen to Dongjiang's subordinates!" The handsome man is watching after me waits! Fight bravely for the first reward, cower and kill! ”

Xu Erxian, who came here with Liu Xingzuo in front of him, was also holding a saber at this time, riding on a horse and shouting loudly: "Fuzhou soldiers listen to orders!" Those who bravely strive for the first place will be rewarded, and they will be beheaded if they do not cower! ”

Mao Zhongming and Xu Erxian's orders did not have an immediate effect, seeing that the encirclement of Jianyu was getting bigger and bigger, some of the outermost Ming soldiers had already retreated to Mao Wenlong's horse, and the frightened war horses had to retreat.

At this time, there was another group of hundreds of captives, towards the weakest point of the encirclement, and suddenly attacked, and the Ming soldiers were killed and retreated, seeing that this group of captives was about to rush out of the encirclement.

At this moment, when the encirclement of the Ming army was finally broken, a sudden sound of musket fire came: "Bang bang!" ”

After breaking through the encirclement of the Ming army, Engeshen, who was at the forefront, fell to the ground. Along with him fell to the ground, about twenty armored prisoners!

And these 20 or so armored captives are also the most ferocious captives in the entire Ming army encirclement.

Some of these armored captives are the red flag guards who have always followed Azig, and some of them are the leaders and backbones of the group of captives in front of them, including Niu Lu Ezhen, Jia Lae Zhen, and even a Meler Ezhen.

This Meler is really Engag.

And the people who killed this group of elite Jianyu were the personnel of the Gongwei Division and the Suppression Division brought by Yuan Shu to Dongjiang Town.

Yuan Shu brought a total of more than 100 Jinyi guards to Dongjiang Town, and now more than a dozen of them are left on Phi Island, with Chu Xianxian, and the rest follow Yuan Shu and Mao Wenlong to Dingzhou City.

Yuan Shu took the initiative to ask Ying to participate in the combat operation in Dingzhou City, but Mao Wenlong did not agree at first. But when Chu Xianzhang arranged for Mao Wenlong to watch a demonstration of the platoon gun shooting of the brocade guards led by Yuan Shu, Mao Wenlong quickly agreed.

The musket used by Yuan Shu's Jinyi guard was the improved Chongzhen front-loading flintlock smoothbore gun.

Now Chongzhen type of front-loading flintlock smoothbore gun, has solved the problem of butt and bayonet, but also through the iron fan casting method to solve the problem of barrel casting and production, has begun to finalize mass production, Tongzhou and Baiyecheng two gun factories, since August, Chongzhen type flintlock musket, the monthly output has exceeded 800 rods.

This time, Emperor Chongzhen specially asked Chu Xianzhang to take Yuan Shu to Dongjiang Town to see Mao Wenlong, in addition to the warning, of course, there was also a warning.

The warning naturally refers to reminding Mao Wenlong that Jianyu is coming to attack Dongjiang Town in September, asking him to prepare in advance to help him achieve a greater victory than in history, and let Dongjiang Town play a greater role in the rear of Jianyu.

The warning is to tell Mao Wenlong that the imperial court has a strong military advantage, which is not only unsurpassable by the semi-civilized Jianyu Jurchens, but also unsurpassable by Dongjiang Town, and without the support of the imperial court, Dongjiang Town will not be able to survive.

Now, whether it is a warning or a warning, Mao Wenlong has received and understood it all.

The imperial court has twice supplemented Dongjiang Town's food and salary, which shows that the imperial court has sufficient money and grain, and there is no financial problem. At the same time, the imperial court dared to continuously replenish to Dongjiang Town various firearms and equipment, such as thunderbolt cannons, tiger squat cannons, and general cannons, which were originally mainly equipped with the Shenji battalion, indicating that the imperial court had new, more powerful firearms.

And the shooting demonstration of the Chongzhen front-loading flintlock smoothbore gun brought by Yuan Shu made Mao Wenlong even more dumbfounded. The power of Chongzhen's flintlock pistol is completely incomparable to the arquebus that was a little chicken rib in the past.

Mao Wenlong, who was originally a bit domineering and arbitrary, now seemed much more modest and cautious in front of Chu Xianzhang and Yuan Shu, and was willing to accept the suggestions of the two in many things.

Because he knew that unless he completely surrendered to Jianyu, if the imperial court was really determined to destroy him, he would have no room to resist at all.

As for taking refuge in Jianlu, in the original history, he didn't really take this road as an option, let alone now, now Mao Wenlong has further recognized the strength and potential of the Ming court. In the face of naked strength, he naturally knows how to choose.

Looking at the musketeers under Yuan Shu, a round of guns, swept away dozens of fierce Jianyu elites, Mao Wenlong, who had already been mentally prepared, was shocked again.

Yuan Shu's musketeers were not actually trained in the use of muskets in a rigorous and systematic manner. Including Yuan Shu himself, he has not undergone systematic training, and all the knowledge he has in this area is copied from the "New Army Drill Code" compiled by the emperor's order.

The emperor asked him to take a group of Jinyi guards equipped with new muskets to Dongjiang Town, and at the same time gave him a copy of the "New Army Drill Code" for him to study, and the training and tactics of muskets in it greatly benefited him.

Of course, he already knew the power of the new musket. But speaking of which, the demonstration of the platoon gun on Phi Island was also the first time in his life, about 100 steps, the scarecrow wearing two layers of cotton armor was beaten by a row of guns, and the scene not only shocked Mao Wenlong, but also shocked him and Chu Xianxian.

This time, Yuan Shu divided his nearly 100 brocade guards into two groups, one group of 40 people, divided into two rows in front and rear, 20 people in each row, arranged in a dense formation, the front row knelt on one knee and took a kneeling shooting posture, and the back row stood and adopted a standing shooting posture.

Another group of more than 50 people specially loaded ammunition for Chongzhen at the back of the musket team. Today's ammunition loading is much easier than in the past.

The projectiles are all uniform in size, because the caliber of all Chongzhen muskets is uniform.

The dosage is also uniform, and it is the best amount of medicine to be installed after repeated tests in advance, as long as you gently open a moisture-proof and waterproof oil-paper bag, pour the amount of gunpowder into the chamber, and then load a lead bullet, and then crumple the oil-paper package of gunpowder into a ball and stuff it into the barrel together, and tamp it with a whole strip.

Such a way of reloading does not require systematic and rigorous training at all, and a soldier who has completed the basic queue training only needs three or five times of practice to master all the loading skills, so as to quickly become a qualified musketeer.

Yuan Shu came to Dingzhou City with such a group of quick musketeers who had never fought in actual combat.

And this group of quick musketeers did not live up to his expectations, first a round of guns, killing more than two dozen of the most fierce armored prisoners who rushed to the front. Then, after shocking everyone for a moment, there was soon another round of gunfire fired, followed by two dozen other Jianlu, screaming and falling to the ground.

It was only at this time that Jianyu quickly retreated in a panic, and Azig kept turning back and shouting as Jianyu's elite cover was withdrawn: "Enge Shen!" Enge ginseng! ”

Eng Shen, Azig's loyal minion, could no longer answer his master's call, for he had already died under the fire of Chongzhen's musket.

The Ming army, which finally reacted, also immediately cheered and swung their swords to attack. This wave of Jianyu's assault offensive ended in failure.
