Chapter 111: The Strange Gun
Suppressing the panicked mood, Duolong Ao bowed down and said: "I found that the people who came to attack our camp last night were Zhao Guohua's militia group, although they wore the armor of the Ming army, but the minions had fought with them many times, and it was obvious at a glance that it was them. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Yes. The minions have also fought with them and have this opinion. Dekzik hurriedly complied.
Listening to the words of the two, Duke Yanguli fell into thought.
What these two people said is very likely to be right, if the Ming army had such a sharp burst of firearms, how could the Qing Dynasty get in, and I don't know where this militia got this strange firearm.
At this time, a branch of the Apishku came in and reported: "My lord, when the minions were cleaning up the camp, they found this kind of thing on the ground. As he spoke, he spread a few bullet casings in the palm of his hand.
"What is this?" Yanguli said, taking the bullet casings over and looking through them carefully
This strange thing is the length of the little finger, round and yellow, and the material seems to be made of brass, which looks very good. Sniffed it, and there was a large smell of strong gunpowder after the explosion.
He looked at the bullet casings and thought to himself, "Could this be the gun that fired continuously?" But how could the gun be empty, and still fall here, is it that the gun that fired the gun is contained in it? ”
"Lord, what is it?" A stupid-looking Niu Lu Zhangjing walked over and asked.
This person's name is Bao Bai, forty-five years old this year, he is brave in battle and does not shoot to death, but his brain is a little bit unbending, he was already a Niu Lu Zhangjing ten years ago, and now he is still standing still.
'The lord is a stupid thing', hearing this, the Qing army generals in the big tent almost laughed.
Knowing that Bao Bai was a rude person and couldn't speak, Yanguli didn't blame him, but he looked at the generals with displeasure, and then said: "Duolong Ao, you go and dig a few guns in the wounds of the dead and wounded soldiers, I can use them." ”
"Obey." Duolong Ao agreed and hurried out.
After a while, Duolong Ao came in with a plate holding several conical warheads with the length of the little finger knuckles and the pointed ends. The warhead has been cleaned and lies quietly on the plate.
Duke Yanguli picked up a bullet and put it into the round yellow thing, which was just right and stuck firmly on it.
"It seems that this round and yellow thing is a bullet case with a gun." Yanguli said to himself.
"Zhao Guohua Mintuan's burst fire gun may have something to do with this strange gun, and if you crack the secret of this gun, maybe you can make that kind of burst fire gun. Since someone in the Ming Dynasty has made this kind of continuous fire gun, my Qing Dynasty craftsman should make it, with that kind of continuous fire gun, coupled with the martial arts of my Qing Dynasty iron horseman, who else in the world is invincible. ”
Thinking of this, he smirked.
Seeing that the prince smiled, the generals of the Qing army in the big tent breathed a sigh of relief, and Duolong Ao and Dekzik also sighed secretly for a long time.
Just as Yanguli was looking forward to the scene of the Qing army sweeping the world with a burst of fire in his hand, a soldier outside came in and knelt on one leg and reported: "My lord, Ma Guangyuan came to ask for guilt by tying himself. ”
I heard that Ma Guangyuan came to ask for guilt? Yanguli was taken aback, and he thought to himself, "Are those Nikan......"
He didn't dare to think about it anymore, so he hurriedly said, "Call him in." ”
The armor was ordered to go out.
Immediately, Ma Guangyuan came in by himself, entered the big tent, saw Yanguli, and immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"Ma Guangyuan, what are you doing here?" Yanguli asked.
Lowering his head, he didn't even dare to raise his head, Ma Guangyuan cried and said: "The slaves should die, those captured people have fled." ”
"What?" Yanguli said, walked over, and kicked Ma Guangyuan out of the air a few steps.
Thinking of the hard work, not only did he lose his troops, but he also returned empty-handed in the end, he had a sharp pain in his chest, spit out a mouthful of blood, and with a "cluck", he fainted again.
"Lord, lord......" The generals of the Qing army shouted in a hurry, and Yanguli finally woke up.
After glancing at the generals, his face turned pale, and he said weakly: "Arrest Ma Guangyuan, I ...... I want to ask ......."
Duolong Ao and Dekzik walked over and dragged Ma Guangyuan, who was paralyzed on the ground.
Ma Guangyuan lowered his head, like a criminal waiting for the verdict, and obediently knelt in front of Yanguli.
Yanguli gasped and said with difficulty: "You take what happened as Benjue...... Say it...... ...... shall not be concealed"
"Yes. The minions didn't dare to hide it, the reason why those Nikans ran away was because one of my generals named Ma Ling was bribed by the Ming army, and let those Nikans go with false orders from me, and I arrested him after dawn, and after interrogation, he has now been beheaded by me, and I have brought his head, which is in the box outside, please check it. Ma Guangyuan kowtowed and said.
Ma Ling is Ma Guangyuan's confidant, and in order to save his life this time, Ma Guangyuan can only push Ma Ling out as a substitute for the dead.
After Niu Huan and the others left, Ma Guangyuan sent out hundreds of soldiers who patrolled and guarded last night to chase and kill, not wanting to be defeated
In order to extinguish the mouth, Ma Guangyuan killed all these defeated soldiers.
Later, considering that he had asked Ma Ling to give the order to withdraw, he decided to kill Ma Ling as well.
Before killing Ma Ling, Ma Guangyuan called him into the big tent, gave him some grace and threatened and lured, Ma Ling had no choice but to agree to be Ma Guangyuan's substitute for the dead, and wrote a confession of guilt.
In order to prevent Yanguli from interrogating Ma Ling, after Ma Ling wrote his confession, Ma Guangyuan forced him to commit suicide, and after Ma Ling committed suicide, Ma Guangyuan beheaded him.
After these things were done, Ma Guangyuan took Ma Ling's head and brought his confession to Yanguli to ask for guilt.
"What about confessions? Show me. Yanguli said weakly.
Ma Guangyuan took out the confession written by Ma Ling from his arms, lowered his head and held it with both hands, Duolong Ao took it and handed it to Yanguli.
After reading the confession, Yanguli stared at Ma Guangyuan for a few moments, and then said: "You go down, you must pay attention in the future, don't do this again." ”
"Yes. The minion vouches with his head that this will never happen in the future. Ma Guangyuan said, respectfully kowtowed to Yanguli three times, and then got up and walked backwards out of the big tent.
Yanguli had been staring at Ma Guangyuan until he saw him withdraw from the big tent, so he withdrew his gaze from staring at him.
Seeing this, Dekzik asked: "Sir, I'm afraid what this surnamed Ma said is not so simple, I'm afraid there is another hidden meaning in it......"
"I know. However, seriously investigated, our fault is not smaller than Ma Guangyuan, I dealt with him heavily, after returning to Shengjing, in order to serve the public, His Majesty's handling of us is not easy to deal with, and this person has led troops to surrender to my Qing Dynasty since Tiancong four years, and he is also considered a veteran among Han officials, so this Ma Guangyuan's matter is still handled by His Majesty after going back. Yanguli said slowly.
Listening to Yanguli's words, Dekzik nodded again and again: "It's still the lord's thoughtfulness." ”
Glancing at the generals such as Niu Lu and Jia La, Yanguli said slowly: "We are going to rush to the Jingshi and the king of Azig to join us, but at present, the losses of our army are too great, and the combat strength has been greatly reduced. ”
"Wow." Dekzik agreed, and galloped away with five vests.
Zhao Guohua took the commando team and Cheng Chong's 3,000 firecrackers, and found the rescued people twenty miles away from the battlefield. Seeing the captain, Niu Huan and the others happily greeted him.
Although they have only been separated for less than half a day, Niu Huan and others greeted Zhao Guohua as if they had been reunited after a long absence.
Looking at the thirty team members, Zhao Guohua was very happy to see that none of them were injured, he patted Niu Huan and praised: "Niu Huan, you did a good job this time, I will count the first-class merit for you, and the other thirty commandos will each receive a second-class merit." ”
"Thank you, Captain." Niu Huan and the team members said happily. The volunteers all know that with merit, they will have priority qualifications when they are promoted in the future.
Hearing that the officer in front of him was the benefactor who led the army to bring his family and other people back from the hands of the Tartars, Liu Guangzu hurriedly invited a hundred and ten people who had some prestige among the people to come and thank him for saving his life.
Zhao Guohua warmly received them, Liu Guangzu led everyone to kneel down and kowtow to Zhao Guohua, Zhao Guohua was startled and hurriedly asked someone to pull everyone up.
After standing up, he bowed to Zhao Guohua again and again, and everyone finally quieted down.
After looking around at everyone, Zhao Guohua said: "Fellow villagers, there are still more than 200 miles away from Zhuozhou, and we can only get to Zhuozhou as soon as possible by speeding up our walking, and it is safe to enter Zhuozhou." ”
"Yes, the general is right, let's all hurry up." A middle-aged man said.
Glancing at Zhao Guohua, Liu Guangzu said: "This general, what you said is right, more than two hundred miles, we will walk the least, and it will take five days, but when we escaped from the Second Tartar military camp, we did not bring food, and the Second Tartar sent us a black-flour steamed bun per person per day, this thing lasts for one day at most, and the remaining four days, we go on an empty stomach, and we can't go anyway, and in five days, are there any Tartars chasing after us?" What to do if the Tartars chase after you? ”
Hearing this, Zhao Guohua looked at Liu Guangzu, he was going to test this talent. Looking at this person's performance last night, he is still a little talented, not a pedantic nerd. If he passes the assessment, Zhao Guohua plans to absorb this person into the volunteer team. In order for the volunteer team to develop and grow in the future, it must need all kinds of talents.
In the chaotic times at the end of the Ming Dynasty, people who can fight are the first, but the growth of the volunteer team not only needs those who can fight, but also needs others.
Zhao Guohua smiled and said to him: "Liu Xiucai, what do you say to do?" ”
