Bai Wenxuan scolded, tightened his clothes hatefully, looked at the Ming banner at the head of the city and spitted.

This little Jianli City, originally thought that it could be pushed down, but it turned out to be so difficult that it was attacked twice in a row, although the city was destroyed, but it was never broken after all.

He even went to the city to fight in person, and saw the tattered officers and soldiers in the city crying and hugging the people who had climbed the city and falling together, and both of them died together. This has happened more than once!

"That ......"

He raised his eyes and looked at the city, only to see a woman in filial piety standing under the banner of the Ming Dynasty. Under the filial piety clothes, there was a set of armor, and the woman's figure had not even grown, but she was fourteen or fifteen years old!

was originally dressed in snow-white filial piety clothes, because of the fierce battle in the city these two days, it was already stained with stains, and the girl's originally slightly plump face was also obviously thin. She stood at the head of the city, but she was standing still, surrounded by loyal guards, these two days, as long as the Liukou attacked the city, then she must stand under the banner of the Ming Dynasty!

She has almost become the banner of the Ming Dynasty.

As if sensing Bai Wenxuan's gaze, Shen Yunying also looked in this direction.

Now the situation in Jianli is extremely unfavorable, they blocked the way down the river, Zhang Xianzhong did not give up the idea of capturing Xianghu, and after capturing Jianli, they could threaten Yuezhou. Therefore, his siege of Jingzhou was actually to attract reinforcements from all walks of life, but in fact, he wanted to cross the river with the advantage of breaking through the prison.

originally thought that this small county town with only tens of thousands of people could go down in one go, but he never thought that under the encouragement of Shen Yunying, this seemingly weak small city would actually withstand their attack!

Although Zhang Xianzhong now has hundreds of thousands of people, most of them are eating and drinking with him, and it is useless to really fight a tough battle, these people are only new attachments, and many of them have never even been on the battlefield. Therefore, the main force he could rely on was still more than 30,000 men in his old battalion - this is still the number he cobbled together after bringing in hundreds of thousands of brave and fearless deaths.

This is one of the great weaknesses of the rogues mentioned by Yu Guozhen in "The Theory of Liukou": they do not train soldiers. The elite soldiers of the Liukou are all beaten, and in terms of personal bravery, they are indeed one in a hundred, even if they are trained tiger guards, they may not be able to take advantage of one-on-one situations. However, to fight an elite soldier, it is necessary to kill dozens or hundreds of ordinary young soldiers, and this kind of high loss rate is doomed, once the elite soldiers of the rogue are destroyed, it will be difficult to replenish them. On the contrary, the Tiger Guards are different, training ten Tiger Guards, only two or three people will be eliminated, and those who are eliminated can still exist as ordinary labor and continue to create materials and wealth. In this way, if the war is protracted, the rogue is like locusts, and if they eat all the things they can eat, they will inevitably perish, and Xinxiang will always have his own blood-making ability, so he will not be in this section.

Today, it was another day that it could not be captured, and the sky had already darkened, and the rogues did not have the will to continue the battle, so countless fires were lit around the prison, eating and frolicking. The thieves camped for more than ten miles, so from the top of the city, there was a sparkling fire.

In the middle of the month, a bright moonlight sky illuminates the ground with silver, gray and silver, even if it is a little farther away, you can see the shadow of people. Yu Guozhen shook his head and sighed: "This gang of thieves has been fighting for so many years, but they still haven't made any progress!" ”

"Isn't that what the people want?" A person next to him cranked a feather fan, fluttering like a fairy.

Song Xiance glanced at this person and smiled slightly bitterly in his heart, but he never thought that this person would come with him, he was simply trying to rob him of his job.

"Mr. Masayuki is right, the weaker the rogue, the easier it will be for us to win, and the lower the cost." Of course, Song Xiance would not sit idly by and watch his job being snatched away, he said loudly.

"To be honest, I still think it's more appropriate for Brother Zheng to go to the research institute, the gear and escapement you built are really important!" Yu Guozhen looked at Mr. Zhengzhi helplessly.

This Mr. Zhengzhi is Wang Haoran, when he first met Yu Guozhen, he said that his ambition was to make contributions on the battlefield, and he boasted that he was proficient in military books. Later, because of family changes, he had to coerce his wife to vote for Wang Chuanyu, and Wang Chuanyu recommended it to Yu Guozhen. He originally studied astronomical machinery in order to study the art of war, originally for stargazing and improving ordnance, and he was a smart person, so he studied himself here for a year, and corresponded and connected what he had learned with Yu Guozhen's actual learning. What pendulum principle, escapement, etc., and so on, were overcome by him one by one.

But this person did not have a surname, and seeing that it was done, he felt that there was a lack of challenge, so he threw a lot of information to Yu Guozhen, and instead asked to join the Tiger Guard - he was so angry that he directly asked to get a brigade to do in the Tiger Guard, which was naturally impossible, Yu Guozhen was entangled by him, and he also wanted him to retreat in difficulty, so he gave him a temporary "record" position and took him north with him.

I didn't expect this guy to be a military advisor and change his lupine scarf outfit, Yu Guozhen laughed for a long time every time he saw it: Now he is dressed like this in the rogue, and he can't count it on two hands.

"The research institute is too boring, since I have learned the art of war of Sun Wu, I naturally want to try my skills." Wang Haoran was so angry: "I see that Liukou is so scattered, I will be defenseless, I only need an elite title night attack, and I will be able to break it with one blow!" ”

Song Xiance glanced at him, needless to say, no matter who can understand this.

Everyone understands this truth, and the key lies in whether there are soldiers who can fight at night. Although night blindness at this time was not as serious as later novelists said, it was rare for troops to be able to fully exert their combat effectiveness under this moonlight.

For Xinxianghuwei, this is certainly not a problem.

Yu Guozhen never thought that he could sweep the world with the advantage of Tiger Guard's weapons, even if the Tiger Guard C musket had begun to be installed, but he never gave up the training of cold weapons. The requirement for the Tiger Guard is that in addition to using their own weapons to win, they must also be able to win with captured weapons.

Compared with the rest of the armies of this era, the firearms of the Tiger Guard can be said to be more dependent on supply, and sometimes the supply cannot keep up, and the firearms cannot come in handy, so it is necessary to use the captured weapons to fight.

Therefore, cold weapons, night battles, and tiger guards are also very good. They are professional soldiers, different from the Ming officers and soldiers who had to serve as servants in addition to performing performances, and even more different from the rogues who hardly performed except for looting, to a certain extent, they were more like the Eight Banners of the Jianqing, taking war as their profession, and training various skills related to combat in addition to eating and sleeping.

"I'll go!" Qi Niu said suddenly behind Yu Guozhen.

Yu Guozhen looked at him and said with a smile: "Naturally, you can...... First defeat with firepower, then cover up. ”

Yu Guozhen didn't use any tricks, and judging from the situation of the rogue, he felt that there was no need to use tricks. All odd tricks mean that there are harsh conditions, and if there is any accident in the condition, it is more likely to have an accident.

It is Sun Tzu, when talking about the premise of "winning with wonder", it is "with the right combination".

He ordered here, but Wang Haoran was in a hurry, and he didn't care about putting on Zhuge Zhiliang's appearance, so he grabbed him and said, "What are you doing in such a hurry, and let me have a good plan......"

Yu Guozhen smiled and nodded, but in fact, he made a gesture to Qi Niu, and when Wang Haoran was talking about how to arrange the troops, Qi Niu had already led people away.

It didn't take long for the fierce musket to sound from the northeast corner of Jianli City, and such a gunshot made Shen Yunying, who had finally changed to rest, get up: "Liukou is attacking the city again!" ”

She threw down her dishes and chopsticks and was about to go to the city, but then she heard the cheers of a landslide and tsunami from the northeast. Shen Yunying was about to go up to the city quickly, when she saw a family member running down the city, and when she saw her, she shouted: "Grandma, grandma, reinforcements are coming!" ”

Reinforcements!

Shen Yunying's body shook slightly, but fortunately, she had a good physique, and immediately stood firm again, and then ran up to the city without saying a word. I saw that under the bright moonlight, a group of soldiers from nowhere, lined up in a long queue, advanced in a neat line layer by layer, every ten steps or so, stopped, and then raised their muskets and fired.

The musket array that rolled forward like this made Shen Yunying stunned: what kind of troops could not collapse under such a continuous attack?

At least that's not the way the rogues can't. This tactic, which Yu Guozhen called the "queue to shoot" tactic, is honestly not only strong and wide, but actually very unaesthetic. But with Xinxiang's powerful weaponry, they can use this tactic to crush the enemy, especially when the gap between them and the enemy's forces is not too great. The enemy's only way to deal with it was to send elite troops to outflank the two flanks of the Tiger Guard, avoiding the strong frontal fire and attacking the flank.

But against the new Xiang Tiger Guard, this trick is not easy to perform, Qi Niu took six hundred cavalry, protected the two wings of the Tiger Guard, and the scattered rogues who dared to come were all killed by them.

The Tiger Guard C flintlock musket, except for the fact that the accuracy is still not ideal, has been able to form the most powerful front-line infantry in this era. The firing rate of up to 85 percent ensures its effective surname, and every round of shooting is the Hades beckoning to a row of rogues, and the only thing that can restrain its lethality on the battlefield is the shooting speed of the tiger guards.

Skilled Tiger Guards, with an average rate of fire, is about twenty seconds, that is, in one minute, they can shoot three bullets. Even if the speed of shooting is affected by the advance on foot, they can basically do two rounds per minute.

With this kind of firing frequency, the rogue who can't afford to bear heavy casualties can't find a way to deal with it!

Bai Wenxuan was the first to flee again, and at this time, his heart was full of fear.

He knew very well that the only person in the world who could use such domineering and unreasonable tactics was Yu Guozhen's new Xianghuwei. This time, what he saw was not a bluff flag, but that the tiger cub had really reappeared on the battlefield again!

The tiger roars in the wilderness, and it will want to devour people!

After only three rounds of shooting, there were only one or two hundred rogues who could be shot, and the entire rogue army completely collapsed. They scattered and fled, except for the northeast corner where the tiger guards came, there were people in other directions, and some even fled to the city of Jianli, kneeling and kowtowing to beg for surrender.

Seeing this scene, Shen Yunying's eyes burst into tears, if this army had appeared earlier...... How nice that would be!
