"Oh, what is Captain Zhao going to make...... Triangle nails, you have to ask Captain Zhao for details. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" said Li Xian and pointed at Zhao Guohua.

Hearing this, Sun Youde thought about it carefully, and he didn't know what the triangular nail looked like, so he stood up and bowed respectfully and asked, "Little Lao'er wants to ask Captain Zhao, what is a triangular nail?" ”

Zhao Guohua said with a smile: "Master Sun, you go to the Chinese medicine store to buy some Chinese medicine tribulus terrestris, as soon as I say it, you will understand." ”

Sun Youde doesn't know what the relationship between the traditional Chinese medicine tribulus terrestris and the triangular nail is, but since Captain Zhao asks him to buy it, he must have his reasons, anyway, people will not have nothing to do to play with themselves.

"Xiao Wu, you quickly go to the Chinese medicine store to buy a penny of tribulus terrestris, the two adults are waiting to use it." Sun Youde commanded.

"Yes. I'll go. As he spoke, Zhang Xiaowu ran out.

After Zhang Xiaowu left, everyone started gossiping. After a while, Zhang Xiaowu came back and handed over the medicine bag to Master Sun Youde, Sun Youde handed over the medicine bag to Zhao Guohua, Zhao Guohua took it out and saw that it was Tribulus terrestris, he smiled with satisfaction and said: "Master Sun, come and see, the triangular nail I want is actually Tribulus terrestris, you look at the shape of Tribulus terrestris, no matter how you throw it, it always has a sharp angle on the ground." ”

"That's true, but I don't know what the use of adults is with it?" Sun Youde asked curiously.

"Used to ...... cough cough ......" As soon as Li Xian said three words, he heard Zhao Guohua's cough, and he hurriedly stopped his mouth.

Zhao Guohua said: "Master Sun, the wall has ears, can we go in the back to talk." ”

"Oh? Good! Good! Please! Please! Please! Sun Youde hurriedly agreed and took the two to the backyard.

When he arrived in the backyard, Sun Youde asked his son Sun Tian to guard outside the door to prevent people from eavesdropping, and then he said respectfully: "Please also tell the adults what this thing is used for." ”

"This thing is for the Tartar cavalry." Zhao Guohua said.

"So small, is it useful?" Li Xian asked suspiciously:

Zhao Guohua said: "Scatter these little things in the soil or grass, and the war horses running on the Tartars, what are the consequences of stepping on them, think about it." ”

"Huh? It's too vicious, you're too vicious. Li Xian scolded with a smile

He could imagine that when the hooves of the Tartar cavalry stepped on this thing, they must have fallen on their backs, broken bones and tendons.

discussed the specifications and quantities, as well as the price and delivery time with Sun Youde, and explained that they would keep it strictly confidential, and the two went out of the blacksmith shop.

Walking out of the blacksmith shop, Li Xian asked puzzledly, "Captain Zhao, a small triangular nail, why do you want to make it so mysterious?" ”

"Tartar spies are pervasive, and I have to guard against them." Zhao Guohua said.

Li Xian said: "The four gates have been blocked, and the Tartar spies want to transmit news unless they grow wings and fly out." ”

"Wings to fly out?" Zhao Guohua's heart moved when he heard this, and he remembered the possibility of the pigeon transmitting the news, so he said: "Brother Li, in order to prevent someone from contacting the pigeon with the pigeon, you send someone to control the people who have pigeons in the city, and temporarily confiscate all their pigeons." ”

"This matter is up to the state government to arrest and handle it quickly," Li Xian said.

Early the next morning, there was a commotion in the camp of the Qing army, which was filled with smoke, apparently making breakfast.

The heavy troops of the Qing army, that is, Ma Guangyuan, the commander of Wuzhenchao Haangbang Zhangjing (general manager), got up and directed the soldiers to carry barrels of gunpowder and boxes of artillery shells to the artillery positions

The box was full of solid iron eggs the size of a lead ball.

During the time of Nurhachi, the Han people who surrendered were organized into sixteen assistant leaders and subordinated to the Eight Banners of Manchuria. In the fourth year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji balanced the military power of Zhubeile, the owner of the Eight Banners, and set aside the Han people to set aside an army with the Han people who were proficient in firearms, named "Wuzhen Chaoha", ("Wuzhen", the meaning of "heavy" in Chinese, "Chaoha", the meaning of "soldier" or "army" in Chinese)

"Lord Governor, I heard that the militia in Zhuozhou City is very powerful, is it true?" Zuo Ling Bao Yu asked Ma Guangyuan with a smile.

The original manager of Wuzhen Chaoha was Tong Yangxing, and after he died of illness, he was represented by Ma Guangyuan.

Ma Guangyuan is a great rejuvenator of Shuntian, and Ming Jianchang is a general. In the fourth year of Tiancong, Nurhachik Yongping, Ma Guangyuan led the subordinates to surrender, ordered to be under the blue flag, awarded Meler Ezhen, and gave crowns and saddle horses. In April of the eighth year of Tiancong, he was changed to a first-class Angbang Zhangjing because of his merits. In April of the tenth year of Tiancong, the ministers persuaded Huang Taiji to be the emperor, and there were five Han generals: Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi, Shi Tingzhu and Ma Guangyuan.

Glancing at him, Ma Guangyuan said: "It's just a militia group, it's just a trick to make the Mongols suffer a big loss, it's nothing great, no matter how powerful his firearm is, it can't compare to our red-coated cannon." ”

"Exactly! Yes, extremely! Again, the Governor is right. Bao Yu nodded and said flatteringly.

Glancing at the city wall in the distance, Ma Guangyuan said: "Today I want to see the damn bombardment with cannons, so that these Ming dogs can taste the power of my Qing artillery team." ”

After breakfast, the horn of the Qing army in the camp sounded, and a group of Qing troops left the camp.

After arranging the formation, Yanguli rode in front of the large array and said loudly: "Since my Qing Dynasty Iron Cavalry entered the Ming Kingdom at the end of May, all of them have been invincible and invincible, and Zhuozhou must not be an exception. Now I command; Ma Guangyuan, the governor of Wuzhenchaoha, commanded the artillery bombardment of the defenders, and after the shelling ended, He Bizhong, the commander of the Han army, led his men and horses to attack the city in the first wave,"

"Wow! Phew! The two agreed and walked away.

At this time, the Eight Banners of the Han Army had not yet been established, and it was not until four years later, that is, in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, that the Eight Banners of the Han Army were officially established

In June of the seventh year of Chongde (1642), due to the victory of the Qing army in the Battle of Songjin, the surrender of this battle and the previous Daling River surrender were set up as a leader, and the original Han leader formed the Eight Banners of the Han Army, the flag color was the same as the Eight Banners of Manchuria, and at that time, the Han Army began to have an independent banner, and the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty were officially established.

"Everyone hurry up and lie down, the Tartars are about to fire." Zhao Guohua had been observing the movements of the Qing army through a telescope, and when he saw the artillery of the Qing army, he hurriedly shouted.

As he spoke, he also hid in a dead corner of the shelling.

"Get down, get down, the Tartars are going to fire." Everyone told each other that they had fallen behind the battlements of the wall.

Everyone just lay down for a while, in a loud sound of "tom tom", more than a dozen black iron balls flew over, some smashed on the city wall, the city wall trembled slightly, some smashed on the city wall battlements, the city bricks were beaten to the bricks and stones splashed, the momentum was terrifying, a few also flew into the city, smashed people, caused several screams.

The sound of "tom tom" shelling was incessant, and one after another shells flew from a distance, hitting the bricks and stones on the city wall.

Solid shells will not explode, but the kinetic energy is strong, rubbing will hurt, touch and die, although the Ming soldiers lying on the city wall greatly reduced the casualties, but under the intensive shelling, the flying iron balls still killed and disabled hundreds of Ming soldiers, looking at the dead Ming soldiers that headless corpses, and severed hands and feet of the seriously wounded, Zhao Guohua had to endure the nausea, waiting for the end of the Tartar shelling.

He knew that if the Tartars were to attack, they would have to wait until the shelling stopped.

"General Ma, you did a good job, if you go down to Zhuozhou this time, you should take the first credit." Yanguli looked at the dusty Zhuozhou city wall that had been bombarded and praised happily.

Giving a salute, Ma Guangyuan said respectfully: "Slaves don't dare to be greedy for merit, this is all under the command of the lord." ”

Seeing him so humble, Yanguli nodded in satisfaction.

After two incense sticks, the shelling finally stopped, and Zhao Guohua and Li Xian commanded everyone to carry the dead and wounded Ming soldiers down the city tower and then prepare for the attack of the Tartars.

"Why bother to be loyal to the Han army, and start attacking the city." Yanguli ordered loudly,

"Wow." Why did he agree to start the whole team.

He Bizhong was a guerrilla general in Yanqing, who later surrendered to the Qing army, and this time was assigned to Yanguli to follow the expedition.

Thinking that the defenders have been shelled for a while, it should be that there are heavy casualties, the morale of the army is in chaos, this attack should be much smoother, and thinking that you can win a jackpot in front of your master, why bother with a burst of joy in your heart.

Soon, the 3,000 Ming troops were arrayed. He smirked and said to Yanguli, "What else does the lord have to tell his servants?" ”

Glancing at him, Yanguli said: "General He, since Yanqing defected to my Qing Dynasty, you haven't made any military achievements, whether you can be a stable leader depends on you, this time I hope you will be the first to enter Zhuozhou." With a wave of his hand, more than a hundred people walked out with arrows full of cloth heads.

"Lord Wang, what are you ......," He Bizhong asked in a panic.

Yanguli smiled coldly: "General He, I hope that you and your subordinates will not have that kind of deadly red mark on their bodies. ”

Although they held strong bows in their hands, the arrows they used in their hands were not sharp arrows, but light arrows wrapped in cloth, and the cloth heads were full of red dye, and anyone who dared to hesitate to enter would shoot with red arrows, and those who were found to have red marks after the war would be beheaded. Because no one knew who the light arrow would shoot at, each baya swing would be able to control a longer battle line.

Hearing this, He Bizhong understood, "Tartar is going to fight the Ming army by himself." But who made himself a traitor, there was no way, only to rush forward. ”

"Don't worry, sir, there will be no red marks on our bodies." He Bizhong gritted his teeth and said.

Nodding, Yanguli said expressionlessly, "Okay." Let's go on the offensive."

He Bizhong pulled out his sword, pointed at Zhuozhou, and shouted: "Brothers, rush ...... me"
