The shepherds were terrified. 【Reading.com】

The school field is indeed very large, but this distance is not enough to consume the strength of the mad cow, they were originally released at the edge of the school field, such a distance, when they rush in front of them, I am afraid it is just the moment when they increase their speed to the peak.

There is no doubt that there is only one fate for those who stand in front of the herd at such a time, and that is to be crushed to pieces! Even if the soldiers of the 600 Divine Machine Battalion did not escape, they would not be able to slow down the momentum of the herd. After the Ming army was finished, it was their turn, and the shepherds looked around in a hurry, their faces pale and pale, trying to find a safe escape route.

However, when they looked around, they found that the Ming Emperor and the civil and military officials present, even including the eunuchs, were all sitting still with the old gods, and the face in front of them was called a leisurely one, as if it was not a group of mad cows, but a group of chickens or rabbits.

The panicked shepherd was at a loss. It is impossible for these people present not to be afraid of death, and others are just fine, the courage of the eunuchs is very small, not to mention that it is impossible for the Ming people to put their emperor in danger.

Then, there is only one reason that can explain the situation in front of them, that is, the Ming people are well established, and they have full confidence that they can handle this scene, and the most likely surname is the new firearm in the hands of the sergeant of the Shenji Battalion.

Can six hundred firecrackers without cover slaughter thousands of mad cows? Is this really possible?

When the herdsman looked back blankly, he just heard a loud sound like fried beans, and then, choked on the thick smell of gunpowder, and later, through the thin smoke of gunpowder, they saw a scene that they will never forget, and only the moment they first saw the strong crossbow of the Ming army, they could compare with it.

More than two hundred paces away, the cattle in the front row tumbled and fell to the ground, with a loud wail coming out of their mouths. Then, behind it and beside it, one after another cows either overturned directly, or staggered two steps forward, and then fell headlong.

The tide of cattle was missing a piece in an instant, as if the tide had hit a reef. Needless to explain, the shepherds understood that this was the power of the new firearms.

"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! "After the two hundred soldiers in the front row fired a volley, they immediately got up and retreated, and the soldiers in the second row followed, raising their guns, shooting, the same movements, the same concentration, the same results, and then the third row...... After fighting with the Ming army for so long, Huo Sieve still has some understanding of firearms, so when he saw the situation of the retreating Ming army, he was shocked and at the same time at a loss.

Traditional firearms are very troublesome to load, you have to fill gunpowder first, then ram and load, and use flint to ignite, the whole process is extremely complicated, not to mention three stages, even if the five stages are rotated, it is difficult to ensure continuous shooting.

But now it is completely different, the Ming army does not need to turn the muzzle of the gun to load ammunition at all, just open a component behind the firearm, and then put a slender metal object into it, and then, you can aim and shoot, and the whole process only has a few breaths of time.

Although it is a three-stage round shot, it is actually not needed at all, most of the Ming army uses the waiting time to aim, round fire, there is no gap at all, like an iron fire waterfall.

I don't know how long it took, when the shepherds had gotten used to the choking smell of gunpowder, and the continuous gunfire finally stopped. A strong northwest wind blew across the school yard and let out a whining wail, as if mourning for the poor livestock that had been targeted, and as if mourning for the future of the steppe people.

The mad bull's fierce charge was in vain, and the nearest ox fell fifty paces away from the Ming army.

A few of the shepherds were unresponsive, relieved at first, but soon overwhelmed by the surging desolation, they thought of themselves. Yes, the cavalry of the steppe can be as fearless as mad bulls, they can even run faster than oxen, but what is the use of that?

A thousand cavalry rushed within fifty paces of the 600 Ming army, so what was there to fight in that battle? They have already seen that these Ming troops have deliberately increased their numbers, after all, they have to protect the Son of Heaven and cannot be careless. That is, to achieve the same result, it is quite possible that only five hundred, or even less, musketeers will be needed.

The crossbow was already terrifying, but the speed at which it was fired was not very fast, and it was within the range of the shepherd, but now this ...... No one dared to think about how difficult the task and sacrifice would be to capture a camp with a hundred musketeers in one camp.

Let alone...... They saw Xie Hong wave his hand again, and then several carriages drove in. The carriages were surrounded by walls with openings, and dozens of musketeers, one of ten, climbed up from behind the carriages, and then black holes protruded from the openings.

What this means, it goes without saying, even the convoy has become a hedgehog, and if you want to use the previous tactics, you can only fill it with human lives and fight for consumption. But how many people and resources are there on the grassland, how can they fight too much?

Xie Hong broke the silence and said compassionately: "Since ancient times, the grassland people have been entangled with the Central Plains people, and countless blood has been shed, but it has only caused a lot of senseless hatred, which is really heart-wrenching. Sage Yun: The murder weapon of the soldier is also a last resort, from the heart of the person, Ben Hou is also a peace-loving person, and he doesn't like to fight and kill the most. ”

Bah! You plague god is peace-loving? Then we Jianzhou people will be the ninth generation of good people! Others are okay, but Dong Huaishan scolded in his heart: When you first arrived in Liaodong, you were close to the people of Jianzhou and said that there was no grievance and no hatred, but as a result, Lao Tzu came to kill and rob the light, and when you met you, the Jurchens were considered to have fallen into blood mold for eight lifetimes!

Tu Yu also muttered directly, he knew more than Dong Huaishan, Xie Hong got a lot of serfs in North Korea, and captured a bunch of Luzon people from Nanyang, he didn't treat those people as human beings at all, the situation was so miserable that even he, a Mongolian, felt pity, and it was not an exaggeration to say that Xie Hong was extremely vicious.

Xie Hong didn't have time to observe the two difficult brothers, he said proudly: "Now, everyone has seen that my Ming Dynasty is fully capable of exterminating the grassland people, although in this process, there will be a certain sacrifice, but the Ming Dynasty can afford to consume, for the peace of the ages, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are also willing to pay such sacrifices." ”

"Kill! Kill! Kill! Jiang Bin took the lead, and all the soldiers raised their weapons high, raised their arms in response, and shouted like rolling winter thunder, making the sky of the grassland tremble.

No one tried to refute Xie Hong, they didn't dare, even if they were reasonable, they couldn't find a reason, the tactical system of the Ming army was quite complete, and the shepherds were not opponents at all.

"However, God has the virtue of a good life, the emperor understands the heart of heaven and is willing to give you a chance, as long as you are willing to leave the Ming Dynasty, embark on the old road of your ancestors, and go to the West to occupy a place to settle down, then the Ming Dynasty is willing to write off the previous enmity, and even can help you."

"Help? Master Hou, what do you mean ......?"

The second chief raised his head suddenly, revealing a look of disbelief, the previous words, even if Xie Hong didn't say it, they were secretly calculating, Da Ming really couldn't stay here. It's just that the difficulties of the Western Expedition made them frown, and at this moment, they suddenly heard that Xie Hong wanted to help, which was undoubtedly another village, and they saw a glimmer of light in the desperate place.

"It's very simple, it's hard to survive in the desert, and your food supplies must be insufficient, and if you don't have food, I'm afraid you'll have a lot of people starving to death on the road. Therefore, when you enter the desert with your clan, Daming is willing to provide some food, which can be regarded as a parting gift for meeting. Xie Hong threw out the first pie.

"Your Majesty Shengming, Hou Ye Rende." Usu was knocked unconscious, and there were many Tatars, and if there was no food, he, the king of Khan, would not have enough prestige for his people to follow him to death. Although it is difficult for the grassland to survive, the tribes can run to the east in private, and the Duoyan Sanwei are also of Mongolian ethnicity, and the Ming army does not fight them.

"What does Master Hou mean...... What more could be offered? The fire sieve was a little more shrewd than Wusu, and he keenly discovered the meaning of Xie Hong's words.

"This friendship is free, if you want more, it will cost money." Xie Hong smiled appreciatively at the fire sieve, confirming the other party's guess.

"That's it...... the two chiefs both calculated, the economic system on the grassland is still in the stage of barter, and the herdsmen have robbed gold and silver, and they are generally idle. The little prince has been ravaging the border for many years, and he naturally has a lot of savings, and the fire sieve is as famous as the little prince, and he has a lot of goods in his hand, and if he takes them out, he should be able to buy a lot of food.

"Of course, because the distance is relatively long and you have to take risks, this grain must be more expensive......" Xie Hong looked embarrassed.

"It doesn't matter, we believe in Master Hou." Wow, and home delivery, no matter how expensive it is, it's worth it, the two chiefs nodded busily.

"Since the two of you are so sincere, Ben Hou will be the master for the emperor again, and when the transaction between the two parties has been carried out for a period of time and there is trust in each other, you can borrow with credit." It's easy to meet the two who don't know the roots, and Xie Hong is very happy.

"Can I borrow money?" The second chief was excited, I thought I was going to be unlucky today, but I didn't want to turn it into a pie in the sky.

"Of course, although the warriors of Mongolia are a little worse than those of the Ming Dynasty, they are still very powerful in other places, and the West has countless wealth, and the merchants must be willing to reap more lucrative profits, as long as you are willing to pay interest, there will definitely be people who are willing to advance in advance, what do you say?"

"That's what Master Hou said." The pride of the second chief when he heard it suddenly rose, isn't it, since he was a child, he heard the elders of the clan say, how majestic the ancestors were back then, and now it is our turn, and it is also very good to lay down a flower in the West.

"It doesn't matter if there is an obstacle, Daming can still sell some of the arms...... For example, earth-shattering thunder. Xie Hong threw out the last pie.

"That's really...... Your Majesty and the great kindness of the Hou Ye, let me wait for how to repay it. "The herdsmen's eyes are green, how sharp the earth-shaking thunder is, with this thing, except for the Ming army, who else in the world is the opponent of their own cavalry?

"Everyone takes what they need, but you're welcome." Xie Hong waved his hand and smiled very brightly.

In the history of later generations, Westerners withstood a wave of barbarian invasions in the Xiaoice River era, and Daming did not withstand, so the West took the lead in an all-round way. But there are many reasons for this, although the self-restraint of the Ming Dynasty is the main reason, but the relatively strong barbarians in the east are also one of the reasons.

Now, he has armed the barbarians of the East a little and sent them over, whether the Westerners can withstand it, whether they can have the last laugh again, then God bless is really needed.

The Mongol cavalry and the Cossack cavalry with scimitars slashed at each other, the Mongol cavalry in vests and the French dragoons hedged, and the Mongol cavalry with thunderous bombs turned into benevolent bombs to attack the Spanish phalanx...... Tsk, what an exciting scene, just thinking about it, Xie Hong has already had a lot of reverie, he sighed, it feels so good to write history.
