Chapter 319: It's a Massacre
Captain Huang, who was ambushed in the northeast, watched Captain Lu's people scurry around like rats in pain!
His men are no better------ running away is the most incendiary lead, even if they are not hit by enemy rockets, someone jumps up and runs!
These people are just a rabble who dare to win battles and can't afford to lose!!
Captain Huang quickly judged the situation, this battle was irreversible------ he waved his hand to let his team members retreat!
The Lord's general, Prince Zhenjin, led the Tatar cavalry deftly around the burning grass and divided into several groups to pursue the bandits they saw as bandits.
The militia organizations in the northern part of the Central Plains, under the leadership of the adjutant general Zhang Hongfan, rushed forward with a roar.
There were also some silent forces, and they tied strips of calico cloth on their heads according to the agreed method, and slashed at the backs of others.
It's a massacre!
During the process, Captain Huang couldn't bear to look back.
Captain Lu and his teammates escaped smoothly with years of training skills, and they also joined Captain Huang without any casualties.
The two men were equally frustrated, and they collected the people who escaped by chance along the way, and finally counted them, but there were only a thousand people.
Fortunately, they still had a base, and the group of people hurriedly fled back to Wagangzhai in the Huazhou area, and they took with them the people who had previously guarded Huazhou City, as well as the families who were afraid of the retaliation of the Tatar bandits.
They just wanted to hide for a while, but they didn't expect that those people would be able to chase down Wagangzhai!
At that time, Prince Zhenjin was leading the team to kill happily, and was suddenly stopped by his teacher Xu Heng.
Those who dared to resist and fled had all been killed, and the rest had already knelt on the ground, trembling with fear------ military advisor Xu Heng felt that it should be time for him to come out and control the situation.
Earlier, Guo Shoujing, a man from science and technology, couldn't bear to see the scene of the massacre, so he jumped off his horse and went to fiddle with the five marching cannons that he carried with the army.
He also changed the artillery he learned from the Great Song Dynasty------ when it came to the technique of casting bronze pieces, no one in the entire Great Song Dynasty and the Great Yuan craftsmen dared to compare with him.
The bronze cannons he forged were more elaborate and precise, and some of the things he thought were flashy were removed.
For example, he directly changed the spherical button carved with a dragon and a phoenix on the tail of the artillery into a circular shape, and even the original two dragon-shaped ear ears were also replaced with round, saving time and materials.
However, he felt that the so-called artillery could be changed a lot------ wouldn't it be better if it was directly replaced with a cast iron cannon?!
But he didn't have enough time------ he needed a lot of experiments, and he always felt that there must be an algorithm that could figure out the best shape of the artillery!
For example, how much black powder should be placed, how thick the so-called medicine pool should be, how thick the cannon body should be, how thick and long the barrel should be, how heavy the cannon should be when firing directly or projectilely, and how far it can hit, and so on.
He felt that this ordinary-looking firearm seemed to be no easier than him designing the Heavenly Gazetteer and so on!
He knew that this thing was transmitted to the Great Song Dynasty from Liuqiu Island, so it was no wonder that the Liuqiu pirate was so fierce------ he was very angry when he thought of it, why would the Liuqiu pirate, who was so good at cunning, be so restless and self-conscious, and actually do something that hurt the heavens and reason, and harmed the people------ I heard that they also have an object that can be seen hundreds of miles away, so if you use it to observe the celestial phenomena, can't you formulate the best astronomical calendar, it will go down in history!
The pirates are hateful------ they are the ones who provoked the slaughter!
Guo Shoujing, a science and engineering man, slapped his slightly improved marching artillery and kept sighing!
The dimensions of those guns were about one and a half meters long, about ten centimeters in caliber, about three hundred kilograms in weight, and about three kilograms in guns.
At that time, the military advisor Xu Heng also dismounted, came to his side, and said with the same sigh: "The heavenly soldiers are here, all the small things are all powder------ if it weren't for the pirates who begged for chaos in Shandong, how could the civilians be in such a miserable situation!" ”
The words of the military advisor Xu Heng drew the eyes of the science and engineering man Guo Shoujing to the battlefield------ he blurted out involuntarily, saying: "Lord Xu, can you allow them to surrender?!" ”
"Haha, exactly, exactly what I want!"
The military advisor Xu Heng turned over and got on the horse, he really wanted to dissuade the prince from being really golden, without the people, not to mention the word benevolence and righteousness, when the time comes, where will there be next year's taxes? !
Guo Shoujing, a science and engineering man, looked at the back of the military advisor Xu Heng in the distance, and he suddenly thought that if his artillery was lined up in several trips in all directions, then how could even the brave Red Horse Exploration Army get close?!
However, the idea was very counterproductive------ he immediately retracted it.
Prince Zhenjin was persuaded by his teacher to issue a ban on killing, allowing those who did not die to surrender.
He could feel the fatigue of the horses beneath him------
The crown prince Zhenjin's order was praised by everyone for their benevolence, but he didn't care what the Han people said.
What he kept in mind was his father's teachings------ of course, he also had to consider the advice that his teacher Xu Heng said, but that was only in second place.
The results of the post-war inventory are amazing!
In total, they killed more than 6,000 people, captured more than 5,000 ------- of whom were not wounded, and captured countless cold weapons, including arquebuses and some black and gunpowder.
Guo Shoujing, a science and engineering man, quickly judged that they were two different models of arquebuses, one from the Great Song Dynasty and the other from Liuqiu Island!
Just as Guo Shoujing, a science and engineering man, was squatting on the ground, studying two different styles of arquebuses, Prince Zhenjin walked up to him accompanied by Xu Heng.
Prince Zhenjin was full of ambition at this time, he gently whipped his riding boots with a golden silk horsewhip, and said directly: "Your name is Guo Shoujing, right?" Pack up and go back to Dadu with me! ”
Prince Zhenjin was sure that the main force of the bandits had been completely defeated in this battle, and the other bandits were no longer a force.
Although the main leaders of the bandits fled, it is said that only a hundred and ten people followed them------ and the militias were more than capable of finishing the work.
His lieutenant general, Zhang Hongfan, fully supported his decision, ostensibly on the grounds that the bandits' nest, Wagangzhai, was a place with many lakes and ponds, and the cavalry could use them at all, so why let the prince accompany them to suffer from wind and frost outside; In fact, in his heart, he wanted to make a contribution to exterminating the bandits' nest alone.
Can the treacherous Xu Hengyan not know his careful eyes? For the sake of the interests of the Hanchens, he also simply supported the prince Zhenjin to lead the team back.
Before leaving, Prince Zhenjin suddenly remembered a person, that was Guo Shoujing, a science and engineering man who controlled the rocket array.
It must be certain that cavalry will be used to exterminate the bandits------ but it is still more pleasing to end the battle with almost no damage.
He vaguely realized that perhaps this man would be more useful in the upcoming battle with the Liuqiu pirates!
Let the science and engineering man Guo Shoujing accompany the prince Zhenjin back to Dadu to report his merits, this is a great opportunity------ Xu Heng was extremely happy in his heart, and couldn't help laughing.
He was just about to congratulate Guo Shoujing------ but he didn't expect that guy to refuse the kindness of the prince Zhenjin!
Guo Shoujing, a science and engineering man, arched his hand and said: "Back to the prince, when I tortured those bandits, I heard that there are still some clever things in their lair------ I think it is better to allow Weichen to stay, and after they are exterminated, they can study them one by one------
Prince Zhenjin didn't expect him to reject himself!
"Hmph------" he sneered, "kneel down and talk back------"
The Tatar bandit group did make Hanchen kneel, but on the battlefield, it was not necessary to do so.
But Guo Shoujing, a science and engineering man, immediately knelt down.
