The news of Yongning's victory spread in the Xuanfu, and now the soldiers mentioned the governor with a heartfelt respect in their tones. Being able to lead a large army in a field battle to defeat the more than 10,000 cavalry of Duoyan Sanwei is extremely remarkable.

Although this Governor is young and powerful, he is by no means an ignorant magnate, and he is really a famous general. However, the soldiers still disputed how many Tartars they killed in Yongning's victory.

Some people were convinced that the army had killed thousands of Tartars under the city of Yongning, while others said that it was only a rumor that was not enough to believe. However, there is no doubt that the Governor led the army to defeat the Duoyan Sanwei under the city of Yongning, and drove the cavalry of the Duoyan Sanwei back to the grassland.

Just when there was a lot of discussion in Xuanfu City, Zhang Zhijie's army had begun to turn back to Xuanfu after resting in Yongning. Because the small grain of Yongning City had to transfer grain from Xuanfu in the end, and the cavalry of Duoyan Sanwei had already retreated, there was no need to continue to stay in Yongning City.

Moreover, Zhang Zhijie once came to Xuanfu with 10,000 flintlock pistols, but because he was in a hurry to go to Yongning, he had not had time to dispose of 10,000 flintlock pistols. Now that the flintlock musketeers led by Zhang Zhijie are shining in the Battle of Yongning, it is time to use them.

The army drove back to Xuanfu in a mighty way, and there were scouts who had already come to Xuanfu, Jiang Huaixin and Wang Chong also knew that the governor would lead the army back, and the news had been circulating in the city.

The defenders on the city wall instantly became excited when they saw the army, and Jiang Huaixin and Wang Chong led the civil and military generals out of the city to greet them.

"Welcome to the triumphant return of the Governor!" The generals saluted in unison.

"Excuse me, excuse me. It's all the soldiers' lives. Zhang Zhijie smiled and dismounted.

"The Governor beheaded 4,000 under Yongning City and severely injured Duoyan Sanwei, which is really a miracle!" Jiang Huaixin said excitedly.

Zhang Zhijie smiled and waved his hand and said: "It's not a miracle, it's just that I defeated Duoyan Sanwei, Tatar is the real tiger, and the autumn defense has just begun, so you can't be careless!" ”

Contrary to the smug people who had imagined them, they did not see any smug expression on the face of the Governor, who was instead very humble and calm, even calmer than them.

Jiang Huaixin and Wang Chong couldn't help but secretly admire in their hearts, the Governor was so young but had such a great bearing, even if they asked themselves, they might not have this bearing.

The army entered the city, and the most eye-catching of them were the musketeers, who shone in this battle, so the soldiers on the city walls looked at the musketeers and the muskets they carried.

I heard that that kind of musket is called a flintlock pistol, which is very powerful, and can be used like a spear. However, these soldiers on the city wall were very surprised when they saw it, this musket looked very strange and really looked like a new type of musket, but they didn't see the tip of the knife!

After the army entered the city, all the generals gathered in the general army mansion to celebrate, after the celebration, Wang Chong said with some envy: "Your Excellency the Governor, I heard that this time the Shenji Battalion used a new type of firearm, which can be used as both muskets and spears, I don't know if it's true?" ”

Zhang Zhijie said with a smile: "There is this new type of firearm, called a flintlock pistol, which is easier than an arquebus, has a long shot and great power, is easier to load, and can also be used in close combat, but it still can't be compared with a spear!" ”

Tian Shiyuan said with a smile: "This new musket was invented by the Governor, it is very powerful, it can not only shoot from a distance, but also reject horses at short range, one weapon and two uses, it is powerful!" ”

The generals also understood the significance of this weapon, which could shoot at long range and resist horses at close range, but they were envious and a little puzzled at the same time, because they did not see that new firearm had a sharp edge.

Zhang Zhijie saw that they were all curious and envious, and said with a smile: "Presumably you are also curious about this kind of firearm, so Bendu will take you to see this new type of firearm." ”

When they arrived at the school, Zhang Zhijie ordered a team of musketeers to be transferred, and the generals looked at the muskets in the hands of these musketeers with some curiosity. Zhang Zhijie smiled and took a musket, and then took the bayonet hanging from his waist.

Zhang Zhijie pulled out the bayonet, and the generals had a sudden realization, could it be that the tip of the knife could be disassembled?

Zhang Zhijie raised the bayonet in his hand and said with a smile: "It is said that it is the tip of the knife, but in order to bear the strength of the cavalry impact, it is made narrow and thick, and the main combat method is to stab, so this governor is called a bayonet!" It can be installed in the card holder in wartime and removed in peacetime. ”

After that, Zhang Zhijie demonstrated, and it was very simple to jam the bayonet on the card seat, but it was more troublesome to take it off, but it didn't matter, when the bayonet was taken, it meant that the war was over, and there was no need to race against time.

After Zhang Zhijie's demonstration, the generals couldn't help but admire, Jiang Huaixin praised: "It is said that if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, this is really a clever idea, which can not only be taken down to prevent accidental injury, but also can be installed to resist the enemy." ”

Wang Chong groaned: "My lord, can this kind of card seat and bayonet support the impact of the cavalry? ”

Zhang Zhijie said with a smile: "Don't underestimate this small booth, but it took a lot of effort!" When he tested it in Beijing, he was able to withstand the impact of the cavalry, and it was also confirmed under Yongning City. ”

These generals are all old men of the border army, and naturally they are all knowledgeable, and they are all admired. Zhang Zhijie then demonstrated the use of this flintlock pistol, and these generals realized that the original new musket did not need to be ignited.

Shoot farther, be more powerful, reload easier, and most importantly equip a bayonet for melee combat, which is simply the ideal weapon. All the generals looked at the flintlock pistols with fiery eyes.

Seeing that the Beijing camp is already equipped with so many flintlock guns, it's their turn to be the border army, right? Thinking that the Governor was still holding the Weapons Bureau in his hands, Wang Chong couldn't suppress the desire in his heart after all, and said cheekily in the expectation of the generals: "Your Excellency the Governor, our Xuanfu has to endure the invasion of the Tartars every year, and the autumn defense has always been very nervous, and it is very difficult for the soldiers!" ”

Zhang Zhijie said with a smile: "The man in the army has a straightforward personality, just say it if you have something to say, don't swallow it!" ”

Wang Chong's face was slightly red, and he said with a smile on his face: "Lord Governor, do you see if you also equip our Xuanfu with flintlock pistols, and we can also follow the adults to fight Tartar!" The rest of the generals all nodded like garlic when they heard this, and looked at Zhang Zhijie with an expectant expression.

Zhang Zhijie said with a smile: "In this way, in fact, this time the governor of the Xuanfu Datong military affairs not only brought 20,000 soldiers of the Beijing battalion, but also brought 10,000 flintlock guns!" ”
