Chapter 488: Ambushed
The cavalry's practice of horse pistols was completely the result of Guo Gelu's insistence alone, and it was by virtue of the horse pistol that Yue Pengju's grandfather was able to confront the brave Jin army and achieved his prestige. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"The minister heard that there were four horse pistols for the test, and there was a single gun for the selection. Yue Fei taught Jingxiang's soldiers, and there were guns to shoot. Li Xianzhong taught the soldiers of Kansai and ordered the archers to carry guns and the gunners to carry bows. The horse army has guns, and it is still good. Since modern times, those who are good at horse archery are not good at horse guns, so the naval team only chooses 18 horse guns, six main and deputy flag heads, and the rest are bows and arrows. It is customized and cannot be increased or decreased. ”
"Gai Xin's stabbing horse army and the new horse school don't practice teaching, don't know how to bow horses, and can't cast the bow with both hands, and even more responsible for the ability of the horse pistol and people, so can Bi'an do it alone? Essentially, a team of old horse soldiers is ordered to have small guns, and the number of people is not limited to eighteen; are all new recruits, so they specialize in bows and arrows, and are not limited to the forehead of the main and deputy flags. Shu does not force people to be short, but harms their strengths. It's called a gun system. ”
Obviously, it is not easy to use a gun immediately, and Yue Pengju, the king of Hubei, can "teach the soldiers of Jingxiang to shoot with a gun", which obviously has very high requirements for the cavalry of the Yue family's army. Although Guo Gelu did not have the ability to practice horse pistols, one of the cavalry was really a descendant of the Yue family's army, and after his teaching, horse pistols became a necessary equipment for cavalry.
"Ready!" Guo Gelu's right hand was raised high, and the moonlight was a little hazy on the official road, like a light veil on the night. In the Feilong Gorge, there is still a fire burning.
"Let's go." The horses from the Tibetan region burst out with their strength in an instant, and the horses' hooves wrapped in cotton were able to minimize the sound.
A hundred cavalry, galloping forward quickly, like a soul in the night sky, ten miles away, fleeting, the Tartar barracks in front of you.
Suddenly, Guo Gelu's left eyelid jumped, and a sense of danger stimulated his brain, even if he wrapped the horse's hooves in cotton, however, the Tartar military camp would not have been so peaceful?
"Withdraw, withdraw." Guo Gelu's horse gun suddenly threw it towards the side of the official road.
"Ahh There was a scream, and a scream sounded next to the official road.
The cavalry didn't know where they had entered the Tartar ambush, but fortunately Guo Gelu found it early, and everyone followed Guo Gelu's example and threw the horse pistol in their hands into the jungle next to them, regardless of whether they shot anyone or not.
However, although Guo Gelu's reaction was fast, but in the end it was still a little slower than half a step, and bows and arrows were shot from time to time on both sides, fortunately it was night, the moonlight was hazy, and the Tartars did not catch up, and everyone was out of danger, Guo Gelu counted, just now Pu Yi contacted several people who died under the hard bow of the Tartars, and more than a dozen people were injured.
Guo Gelu and Zhu Wenwu looked at each other, and both of them were already afraid in their hearts, if they hadn't found out early, I'm afraid that the hundred-man cavalry would not be enough to stuff their teeth.
"Grandma's, isn't this far away Mo a jing?" Guo Gelu gritted his teeth.
On the contrary, Zhu Wenwu said leisurely: "No matter whether he becomes a fine or an immortal, as long as he still wants to attack Shaoxi Mansion, he will not give him a cheap." ”
"Big brother, why don't you catch up?" Zhang Yuanyi looked at Zhang Yuanzhi with a solemn face and asked strangely.
The Han cavalry was completely under the calculation of the eldest brother, and if the leading Han generals hadn't discovered it early, I am afraid they would have been wiped out.
"Who was that general just now?" Zhang Yuanzhi shook his head and asked, "I don't look like that person?" ”
"No," Zhang Yuanyi shook his head and said, "It is said that when Shaoxi Mansion became an army, that person brought some people back from Luzhou, and it is estimated that they are from the imperial court. ”
"They used a carbine?" Zhang Yuanzhi's face became even more solemn.
"Brother Jiu has good eyesight." Zhang Yuanyi nodded and said, "It is a horse pistol that is not commonly used by the Han people." ”
"No, one of the Han people has used it." Zhang Yuanzhi: "That's even more of a magical character, I really hope I can kill that person sooner, he has surprised me too much." ”
Outside the city of Shaoxi Mansion, between the mountains and forests, there is green smoke.
In the early morning of August, it was a little hazy, and the people had already gotten up, chatting in twos and threes. From the Zhang family's hen laying a double yolk egg to the Li family's daughter-in-law giving birth to a fat doll, anyway, as long as it is a topic, it will give them the opportunity to expand infinitely until it is infinite.
"My lord, as of the last batch this morning, one-third of the people have returned to the city." Lu Xiufu's staff Wen Zhong Mo looked at Lu Xiufu uneasily, and said: "Zhong Mo is worried that if this continues, I'm afraid all the people won't be able to stay any longer, do you think Master Li really made a mistake?" It's been three days now, and if all goes well, the Tartars should be in the city. ”
"What do you think of you? Do you believe in adults, or do you believe in yourself? Lu Xiufu glanced at Wen Zhongmo, and saw that he looked uneasy: "Since the Tartars have not yet arrived in the city, have you forgotten Commander Guo?" ”
"My lord, I, I don't know." Not long after Wen Zhongmo came to Shaoxi Mansion, he didn't know Li Xiang very well, although the people he came into contact with during this time all respected Li Xiang: "After all, the number of Commander Guo is too small, I'm afraid that he will hit a stone with an egg and make a senseless sacrifice." ”
"Hehe," Gao Meng took over and said, "Wen boy, who told you that war is to use more enemies and fewer enemies, and the strong to bully the weak?" ”
"This, this," Wen Zhongmo hurriedly said: "The Tartars are brave and good at fighting, and Lord Guo should avoid Fengrui." ”
"Hehe, little slippery head," Gao Meng smiled, and didn't blame him, and said: "Husband and fighter, tricks, learn hard." ”
Wen Zhongmo thanked him, and Lu Xiufu asked, "Who are the people who are returning to the city?" ”
Wen Zhongmo thought for a moment and said, "There are some old people who are more homesick, and there are some patients who are not accustomed to the water and soil, and there are also some old people who are not worried about their families in the future, and they went back together." ”
"What do you think should be done?" Lu Xiufu said: "What the old man said is the premise that he thinks Master Li is correct. ”
"The Tartars are attacking the city," Wen Zhongmo shook his head and said, "According to the number of troops left in the city of Shaoxi Mansion now, it will collapse in a moment." ”
"Are you going to surrender, then?" Lu Xiufu still asked unhurriedly, as if what he said had nothing to do with him.
"No," Zhong Mo said loudly, "Zhong Mo would rather die in battle than surrender." ”
"But if the generals defending the city resist, the Tartars have always slaughtered the city, and all the millions of people in the capital of the Jin Dynasty were turned into skeletons, did you know."
"No, no, no." Wen Zhongmo was young after all, and he was forced to say nothing by Lu Xiufu.
"We've done the best we can." Lu Xiufu patted Wen Zhongmo on the shoulder and said: "Since they have embarked on this road of no return with adults, they must make the most correct choice for adults, they choose to follow adults, we will protect them even if we give our lives for them, but since they have chosen themselves, let them face it themselves." ”
"My lord, I can't. They are not my people of the Great Song Dynasty. Wen Zhongmo saw that Lu Xiufu, who had always loved the people like a son, actually said such dejected words, and was anxious: "At this moment, they don't know whether Master Li is right or wrong, and what they did is not wrong?" ”
