Looking at the back of Hauge and his party leaving, Duoduo angrily slapped a small table on the small table, and a pile of gnawed marmot bones bounced into the air.

Seeing that the master was furious, the two minions trembled and came over to clean up.

"Get out!" Duoduo lifted his foot and kicked the two over, pulled his neckline open, and gasped for breath: "Hauge, I can't see you as a bird the most, what the hell are you, don't pretend to be a tall ball in front of us." It's as if you're the smartest in the world, and everyone else is stupid. ”

A general comforted him and said: "Baylor, in my opinion, Hauge is also fake smart, otherwise he would have been the emperor of our Great Qing Kingdom in the first place, if you really want to say that he is wise, what can compare to Dolgon and you." ”

"I'll forget it, we'll just do what Dorgon says anyway. It's quite clever that Dolgon, otherwise he would be called Prince Rui. That's right, Hauge is a fake smart. "Duoduo is in a better mood.

The general whispered: "Baylor, I really didn't expect Sun Yuan to come to Henan, but it's troublesome to have this person here." But fortunately, according to Hauge, Sun Yuan brought more than 1,000 people with him this time. However, in the future, if we attack the Ming Dynasty, the Yangzhou Zhenning Township Army will be really a headache. ”

He was an old man under Duoduo, who had participated in the Battle of Jinan that year, and when he thought of the battle that day, he was a little frightened.

As soon as he mentioned the Ningxiang Army, Duoduo was in a bad mood again, with a hint of 'gloom' on his face.

However, in front of his subordinates, he refused to lose his heart. Haha smiled: "What about Sun Yuan, I suffered a little loss from him back then, so what, Hangou has a good saying, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers." In ancient times, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and Xiang Yu Chu and Han competed for hegemony, and they began to lose battles from the beginning, and they did not win a battle until the siege of Xiaxia. But it was this victory that cut off the head of the Chu Overlord, so it was still the same sentence, and the last person who laughed smiled sweeter. ”

As if to encourage himself, Duoduo's words became louder and louder, and in the end, even he believed his words: "There are only a few people in the entire Yangzhou Zhenning Township Army, more than 10,000 people. How many of us, 80,000. Among these 80,000 people, in addition to the 'elite' Rui Eight Banners in Jianzhou, there are also the main forces of the Han Army Banner, Shanhaiguan and Ningyuan Army, all of whom are 'elite' elites. ”

"In addition, there are 80,000 people on the Azig side. Outflanked by two ways, will hunt Nanjing. 160,000 against 10,000, Mount Tai is overwhelming, and Sun Thief only has to bow down to death. ”

The general said: "Baylor, the Ming Dynasty is not only the Ningxiang Army. ”

"Haha, in addition to the Ningxiang Army, does the Ming Dynasty still have troops that can be handled?" Duoduo laughed wildly: "Gao Jie's Qin army is considered strong, but this time it was just two thousand people who met Hauge, a coward, and almost wiped out the whole army. As for Huang Degong and Liu Zeqing, they are even more waste, and they don't need to be taken care of at all. Wuchang's Zuo Liang 'jade', I don't rarely talk about him. Therefore, this time, as long as we destroy Sun Yuan, Hongguang Xiao'er will be finished. ”

The general nodded: "Indeed, the key to this attack on Nanjing is to defeat the Ningxiang army." Speaking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head: "The Ming people are useless, there is a huge country, and there is only Sun Yuan who can be used, the Ming Dynasty will not die, and there is no heavenly reason." ”

"You're talking nonsense." Duoduo smiled: "We have fought with Ming Dog for more than 20 years, every time we enter the customs, although we have not been able to destroy the Ming Kingdom, it seems that we have stabbed him with a knife, and after so many years, even if the Ming Kingdom is a bull, the blood has dried up." ”

"Baylor is right." The general was still a little worried: "Recalling the Battle of Jinan, Sun Yuan's cavalry is indeed a bit powerful. ”

"What are you afraid of?" Duoduo glanced at him: "Cavalry fighting, in fact, is 'exchange' to see who can bear the dead and wounded." On the war horse, no one is a heavenly soldier, you stab me, I will slash you. After a battle, the number of dead and wounded on both sides was actually about the same. Don't take Sun Yuan's cavalry too seriously, in the battle between Haoge and Sun Yuan just now, the two of them were killed and wounded more than 400 people, in fact, it was a draw. It was Hauge who was timid, and he couldn't bear the casualties and retreated. If it is replaced by Lao Tzu, desperately trying to save a thousand lives, Sun Yuan must be left behind. ”

"The cavalry of the Ningxiang Army is only two or three thousand, I have eighty thousand, one-on-one exchange, I will eat him in this southern expedition. Are my Jianzhou warriors still afraid of sacrifice? ”

Speaking of which, he was already full of hideousness.

The general cheered up and roared, "Baylor is right, our Jianzhou warriors are not afraid of death. But ......"

"But what, when did you get upset, say."

The general said cautiously: "The Ningxiang army is not only cavalry, I heard that their foot soldiers are also very powerful, especially the spear and musket phalanx, our Jianzhou people have suffered under that strange formation." At that time, Ao Bai died under Sun Yuan, and the troops were also seriously wounded. ”

"Haha, stupid." Duoduo sneered and beckoned into the distance, "You come here." ”

In the distance, a middle-aged general about forty or fifty years old stood up, and when he saw Duoduo calling him, most of them came over and arched his hand: "What does Baylor command?" ”

This person looks very calm, with an aura on his body, and at first glance he is a general with an old soldier.

He was the Ming general Kong Youde who surrendered to the Manchu Qing in the Battle of Denglai during the Apocalypse, and belonged to the Han Army Zhenghongqi, because of his meritorious conquest of Korea, he was named the king of Gongshun.

This time, he attacked the Hongguang regime in Nanjing with Duoduo, and Geng Zhongming, who had surrendered to the Qing army in Dengzhou, went south with him. Geng Zhongming belonged to the Yellow Banner of the Han Army and was named King Huaishun.

Speaking of which, Duoduo is Baylor, and Kong Youde is king. But Duoduo did not have the slightest respect for Kong Youde, and he came and went as soon as he was recruited, as if he were treating a slave. In fact, when the Manchu system was first established, the imperial court had retained the arrogance of foreign peoples, and no one took it seriously. In the past, in the imperial court, there was a disagreement, and several Baylors 'intersected' fists against Kong Youde, and big fights happened from time to time.

Duoduo: "If Kong Youde Kong is against the spear musket phalanx of the Shangning Township Army, how are you going to fight?" ”

"Yes, Baylor." Kong Youde has always been a man with his tail between his legs in the Qing court, and his position is very correct: "Sun Yuan and our army fought twice, and after coming down, I asked someone about the situation at that time, and I also pondered it. Riding and fighting, I don't understand. Take the phalanx of spears and muskets, in fact, there is nothing surprising. It is nothing more than forming a tight formation, and when the enemy attacks, first 'shoot' with muskets, then connect spears together, and then 'shoot' with muskets. If the attacking side cannot break the formation in a short period of time and is constantly 'fired' by muskets, the soldiers will inevitably fall, and the battle will be lost. ”

"Getting to the point." Dodor shouted.

"Yes, Baylor." Kong Youde still looked unhurried and impatient: "The musket method of combat is actually very useful on the battlefield, an ordinary soldier, no matter how small his strength is, even if he is a six-year-old child, as long as he undergoes a month of training, he can go into battle." With just a finger, you can easily 'shoot' a warrior in armor. However, the military discipline of the Ming army was scattered and 'chaotic', and the musket was so bad that it accidentally blew up and injured itself, so in the long run, the Ming army no longer used shotguns. But Sun Yuan was an exception, not only was the army heavily equipped with firearms, but the quality of the muskets was also very good. Not only is it powerful, but it also has a long range. As a result, my Jianzhou warriors have suffered a lot. ”

"What am I Jianzhou warriors, your Han military banner is just a minion." Dodor interrupted.

"Yes, yes, Baylor said yes." Kong Youde couldn't help nodding: "Actually, Baylor knows this better than me, so you took me and Geng Zhongming on a southern expedition this time, presumably to suppress firearms with firearms and use muskets against the enemy's muskets." ”

Dodor: "That's true. ”

"Sun Yuan's tactics are also remarkable. However, when it comes to making muskets, he is still a little tender. Kong Youde's face 'revealed' a proud look: "When a certain person was using firearms, he Sun Yuan had not yet been born!" ”

Duoduo said with a smile: "Yes, yes, although you can't do it, but you are the ancestor of Sun Yuan who can play with muskets, but if he wants to show off in front of you, it is to 'get the axe' of the class." ”

"I can't say that." The pride on Kong Youde's face flashed, and he returned to his previous humble appearance: "I also 'got' a few muskets of the Ningxiang Army and returned to Liaodong to visit Xiang. To be honest, it's really good, the barrel and bolt are very durable, especially the ignition method, which clamps a flint directly on the hammer head. There is no need to light the fire in advance, which is very convenient, and it is not afraid of rain and snow, which is really good. Moreover, the 'shot' is really far, and the penetration is good. Speaking of later, Kong Youde only had admiration left in his mouth.

A general under Duoduo 'interjected': "Kong Youde, since Sun Yuan's musket is so good, you can just do it, this is called hitting himself with his fist." ”

"Give back to others the way they do." Kong Youde shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's okay to imitate, but it can't be used." ”

"Why is that?" The general asked curiously, "Isn't it just to make muskets, just find a blacksmith to make them." ”

Kong Youde: "Sun Yuan's flintlock pistol is actually not a rare thing, someone has made it decades ago, and it is also very easy to use. However, it is okay to build a few tricks to play with, but if you want to equip thousands of troops, it is a bad thing. ”

"Why?" Someone asked.

Kong Youde laughed even more bitterly: "No one can make his thin and long barrel alone, even if he is reluctant to make it, he can't make a few in a year." This is one of them, and the most important thing is that the flint and hammer used to fire the flint are really unreliable for us to make, and the same musket can be successfully lit this time, but the next shot will not be fired...... The ghost knows why Sun Yuan's musket is called fire every time, even if it can't be fired smoothly every time, but it is very powerful to be able to 'shoot' ** times out of ten...... If we are armed with flintlock pistols and we go to battle and we can't go off, and the muskets turn into burning sticks, isn't that fatal...... How exactly did Sun Yuan do it, he couldn't figure it out, he couldn't figure it out. ”

The meaning of his sentence is actually very simple: whether a weapon can be used on the battlefield or not, in addition to its lethality, can also consider its reliability and failure rate, in addition, it must also be able to be mass-produced. Otherwise, there is no point.

The reason why Sun Yuan's flintlock pistol is of such good quality and low failure rate is that it uses some processes and quality management systems of industrial mass production in later generations.

At this moment, Kong Youde's distress is just like when Sun Yuan faced the Minnie rifled gun: science and technology and productivity cannot be reached, and no matter how good things are, they are just waste.

"Don't figure it out." A Manchurian general became impatient: "Kong Youde, you have been talking for a long time, anyway, it is a sentence Sun Yuan's firearms are more powerful than yours, isn't this the ambition of others to destroy their own prestige?" Say something useful to hear. ”

"Okay." Kong Youde beckoned to his subordinates, and immediately a soldier came over, carrying a handful of iron pipe-like guys in his hands, which looked like a musket, but he was very long, almost six feet old, and there was a long fire rope hanging from it. The barrel is extremely thick, and it is a small cannon.

The man turned the muzzle of the gun and poured the "shot" and "medicine" into it, stuffed a lead bullet into it, then took out a hammer and vigorously struck the lead into the barrel of the gun, compacted it, and then untied a fork from his back and put it on the ground, and put the musket on it.

This technique is very complex and slow.

In half a day, a Qing army general scolded: "You 'get' it for a long time, it's not still an arquebus, but it's thickened and lengthened." ”

As he spoke, the musketeer had already lit a fire.

With a "bang", a ball of fire flashed at the muzzle of the gun, and a large cloud of white smoke spread.

The sound was so loud that everyone felt that their ears were buzzing and that it was all bees flying.

The soldier was also shaken back by the recoil, and nearly fell.

In the distance, a scalper snorted and fell to its knees.

If you look closely, there is a gun hole the size of a broad bean on the stomach of the scalper, and there is blood that cannot help but mark it.

The scalper had apparently been prepared there for a long time, nearly a hundred paces away.

Seeing that this musket was so sharp, everyone was taken aback and put away their contempt for Kong Youde. They are all veterans of the battlefield, so they naturally know the lethality of this musket on the battlefield after a large number of troops are equipped.

"Haha, I see." Duoduo said: "This is called a heavy arquebus, although it is heavier, it can be used to clean up Sun Yuan's spear musket monster formation, but there is no problem, Kong Youde's troops have been equipped a lot, and this time it can finally come in handy." ”

I can't make the kind of 'fine' and lethal flintlock pistol in Sun Yuanjun, so I can always lengthen and thicken the barrel and load more 'medicine', right?

Kong Youde was a little complacent: "Belle rest assured, the matter of attacking Sun Yuan's infantry formation will be 'handed over' to our Han army's red and yellow banners!" It was also found that Sun Yuan's army was not equipped with many artillery. And the artillery of the two banners of our Han army is famous, when the time comes, it is good that the Ningxiang army does not discharge the strange formation, if you dare to line up the secret formation, a burst of artillery bombardment past, maybe you can't use the musketeers to appear, they themselves will be defeated. ”

After saying so many words, he was a little thirsty and swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "As for the cavalry counterattack of the Ningxiang Army, I have to ask Baylor." ”

"No problem, this time I will definitely take off Sun Yuan's dog head." Duoduo's eyes lit up: "It's time for me to be ashamed before the battle of Jinan, no, no, no, if you want to capture Sun Yuan alive, Lao Tzu will cut him with a knife." "After this musket was massively equipped with troops, it went to the lethality of the battlefield.

"Haha, I see." Duoduo said: "This is called a heavy arquebus, although it is heavier, it can be used to clean up Sun Yuan's spear musket monster formation, but there is no problem, Kong Youde's troops have been equipped a lot, and this time it can finally come in handy." ”
