"It should be Hongyi big guns, only Luoyang City and Kaifeng City in Henan have them, but these big guns are all defending the city, and I haven't seen them used in the wilderness. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Yuan Zongdi said a word, he reported to Li Zicheng about the attack and plundering of Luoyang City, but he didn't expect to be picked up by Liu Fangliang, and at this time he interjected a sentence to show his existence.

He said: "There are several Shenwei invincible general cannons in Luoyang City, and if you hit three to five catties of cannons, you can hit more than a mile. Those Hongyi big guns should be able to fight more than two miles, but they weigh three or four thousand catties, and they are loaded on four-wheeled vehicles, and it is difficult to move them to the wilderness. That Wang Dou is a guest soldier, I heard that he came from Xuanfu Town, which is thousands of miles away, and such a heavy big gun will definitely not be able to drag it. "In their army, there may be lighter Hongyi ......"

Then he said: "It's strange, how can these lighter Hongyi big guns hit so far......"

Liu Zongmin said: "Yes, officers and soldiers often use car battalions in field battles, a battalion has 256 cannons, and the heaviest invincible general's cannon weighs 1,000 catties, and the cannon is almost three catties, which can hit more than a mile." If you get shot, the people and horses will be a big blood hole. However, the heaviest artillery in the field of officers and soldiers is like this, and the others are all cannons that hit a few taels, at most one catty. Brother Fang Liang encountered the artillery used by this officer and soldier, it was indeed strange......"

Liu Zongmin has been in battle, and when it comes to the equipment of the Ming army, he is naturally like a treasure.

Liu Fangliang calmed down, and he said: "King Chuang, the general sentinel, according to my opinion, may be a novel firearm among the officers and soldiers. After all, Wang Doujun came from Xuanfu Town, which is one of the nine sides, "fighting with Qingzi all the year round, and it is normal to have many novel firearms, and the officers and soldiers in the hinterland cannot compare with ......"

Li Zicheng's fingers tapped on the table next to him, and he said: "This Wang Dou has some powerful bird dysprosis and artillery, in fact, there is no need to worry, Mingyuan was also surprised by them, with preparation, pay attention, the next battle will definitely not be as ...... as Ruzhou."

"There are many officers and soldiers in our righteous army, and many officers and soldiers have very powerful firearms, that is, the cities we have captured, there are many sophisticated firearms and artillery in front of them, but they dare not fight, these firearms have become the trophies of our righteous army, the key is that this Wang Dou's soldiers and horses are very fine, and the combat power is very high. According to what Mingyuan said, the king fights 7,000 people, all of them are as elite as their forward soldiers and horses, as if they are comparable to the soldiers and horses of our old battalion, and they want to destroy these 7,000 people........."

He shook his head: "It's strange, how could there be such an officer and soldier ...... in Daming?"

Everyone present was groaning, feeling that this Wang Doujun was different, and the various tactics they were good at couldn't be used at all. If you encounter officers and soldiers from other units, they will soon be finished after a few ambushes. Or they will not fight to the death, but this officer and soldier does not seem to be able to buy it.

In the past, when encountering such stiff officers and soldiers, there was still a way to break into the army, that is, to avoid the strong and blame the weak, and to avoid it, wandering to other prefectures and counties. But now it is difficult to fight Luoyang on a tiger, can you only fight with the king?

Such a hard encounter, the army has never encountered it, those cannon fodder hungry soldiers are okay" Li Zicheng and others are most afraid of losing their old battalion and horse team, which is absolutely reluctant.

But in addition to using their own backbone forces, what other forces can be used? Although counting the hungry people, the army can now pull out 100,000 people, but most of them are hungry people who have never fought and have not been trained, and there are very few soldiers who can really handle it.

Everyone had a headache, and they felt that this king was not going to enter the oil and salt, and it was very difficult. As a matter of fact, everyone here has experienced a lot of battlefields and has rich experience in warfare, and in the past, when facing other officers and soldiers, they easily came up with a lot of ways to deal with them.

Liu Fangliang also played well, although the ambush failed, he also trapped the forward of the Wang Doujun. In the past, "it was like Cao Wenzhao, a fierce general of the Ming Dynasty, who was trapped on the plain by tens of thousands of peasant troops. Most of his 3,000 men were still cavalry, and in the end Cao Wenzhao was still dead.

is also trapped, why did Cao Wenzhao die, so that Wang Doujun's forward counterattacked and defeated his own side? There is a feeling in everyone's hearts that cannot be described, this feeling has never been encountered in the past.

In fact, it is very simple, it is to reduce ten times with one force. Generals have good strategies, but they must match the quality of grassroots soldiers and the level of grassroots officers. The quality of the low-level soldiers and officers is not high, the overall strength is not good, and no matter how high the strategy of the main general, it will only be reduced to empty talk in the end.

There are many examples of this, and the officials and generals in the late Qing Dynasty are not without strategy, but unfortunately the quality of the soldiers is not high, and as long as the other side starts a war, all the tricks will become ashes. Also during the Anti-Japanese War, tens of thousands of people of the national army ambushed one or two thousand Japanese troops, and often set up ambushes successfully, but most of them were defeated by counter-killing, which is the effectiveness of the overall strength. ,

Of course, this feeling can only be understood by Li Zicheng and others, and it is difficult to convey it, because they are still stuck in the idea that thousands of troops are easy to obtain, and one general is difficult to find. It is difficult to conceive of that kind of upright strength pushing and confrontation.

Hao Shaoqi scolded: "Donkey ball, his mother's hair, the Guan Ning soldiers led by Lu Lian were already very powerful, and people said that they ranked first in the Ming border army." This Wang Dou's soldiers and horses are "more powerful than them, how can the freaks ...... pop up"

His rude scolding woke everyone up, everyone woke up, Niu Jinxing's invisible brows frowned, Li Yan suddenly stood up, and saluted Li Zicheng: "King Chuang, generals, students have a word, I don't know whether to say it or not." Li Zicheng said cordially: "Mr. has something to say, please ......"

Li Yan smiled and saluted again: "The student is ...... to receive the order"

His posture was extremely beautiful, and everyone in the audience was bright, and Ran thought: "The way a scholar behaves is different from ours......

Li Yan said: "Speaking of this Wang Dou's military horse, the student thinks of one person, Qi Jiguang and Qi Shaobao......"

He said: "The teacher who is upright is the most difficult, because all the schemes are useless, and the two sides have to fight each other, and the dignified ...... is hard against hard."

He said: "In the past, before Qi Shaobao became an army, the southeast was raging, the officers and soldiers were incompetent, and there were often thousands of officers and soldiers against dozens of thieves and those who were defeated. However, after Qi Shaobao became an army, he did not have a single defeat, often beheaded more than 1,000 people, and his own casualties were only a few people. In the battle of Flower Street, he beheaded more than 300 and 8 levels of the Koukou, captured two of them alive, and suffered no more than three casualties. In the battle of Baishuiyang, 1,500 men fought against 2,000 men, and all of them were annihilated, and their own side suffered three casualties. In the battle of Niutian, tens of thousands of Kou were defeated, 688 levels were beheaded, and no casualties were inflicted on their side......"

"Qi Shaobao's heaviest casualties in the southeast were none other than the Battle of Lindun, where he beheaded 960 people, and his own side suffered 69 casualties. Looking at his life, he fought in the south and the north, from the south to the north, beheaded tens of thousands, and the casualties under his command were less than 1,000. Looking at the essence of the king's fighting soldiers and horses, the camp is strict, and it is quite the style of Qi Shaobao. Like this king fighting military horses, there is also no family member in the Qi family's army, "but the soldiers are brave, and everyone is as strong as a family." "Against such a rigorous and sophisticated division, our righteous army must not underestimate the enemy, lest it cost in vain to damage the strength of our division......"

Li Shuangxi was surprised: "This Qi Shaobao is so powerful......"

There is a leisurely love in the tone.

Liu Zongmin laughed loudly: "Mr. Li, Qi Shaobao's reputation, of course Lao Liu and the others have heard of it." Back then, I was striking iron in rice fat, and when I was fine, I also went to the teahouse and wine shop to go around, "Qi Shaobao's story is too much to talk about." But Mr. compared Wang Dou to Qi Shaobao, is he exaggerating them? No matter how powerful he is, he is not three-headed and six-armed, but I think Lao Liu will, find a time, and have a big fight. ”

As he spoke, he put his huge palms on his knees and slapped them hard, as if it were Wang Dou.

He made such a vigorous movement that the chair under him creaked and shook.

Li Zicheng scolded: "Jiexuan, why do you talk to Mr. like this? Quickly make amends. ”

Li Yan hurriedly said: "King Chuang's words are serious, General Liu is heroic and uninhibited, temperamental, and the students are so happy in their hearts, how can they blame?" ”

Liu Zongmin shook his huge head and said, "My old Liu is a rough man, if you have anything to say, just don't blame Mr." ”

Li Yan's general call made him very comfortable, and everyone in the army only called him Liu Ye, the chief outpost, and when he heard it, he was a market faction, and when he heard this general, he was much more noble. Moreover, Li Yan is polite in the army on weekdays, unlike Niu Jinxing and their old Qing Gao, the more so, the more Liu Zongmin has a good impression of Li Yan.

He smiled at Li Zicheng and said, "King Chuang, you see, Mr. is no longer to blame. ”

Li Zicheng sighed: "Jiexuan, you are such a rectum, you don't know how to hide your words. ”

For Li Zicheng, Liu Zongmin is his confidant who was born and died, and he is the most dependent on him on weekdays, and Li Yan is also an outsider who has just arrived. No matter what, which is more important, the two cannot be compared at all. The way he looked just now was just the style of Corporal Lixian.

Li Yan said this, he happened to push the boat along the river, and he said: "According to Mr.'s opinion, this Wang Dou really can't be underestimated, I don't know if Mr. can know more about that Wang Dou?" ”

Li Yan said: "This Wang Dou student has also heard that in the eleventh year of Chongzhen, Dongnu entered the Kou, and since then he has become famous. ”

He talked in detail about Wang Dou, most of the teahouses, restaurants, literati, and news reported by various mansions. Li Yan usually cares about the current situation, so he also pays attention to Wang Dou's affairs. Listening to Li Yan's words, everyone in the audience took a breath, this guy has a lot of background. ,

Li Zicheng said softly: "With such a great merit, I was finally appointed as a general, I should be dissatisfied with the imperial court, can I win the righteous army?" ”

Li Yan shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's impossible." ”

Li Zicheng pondered for a long time: "In Mr. Nayi's opinion, what means do you have to deal with his military horses?" ”

Everyone in the hall looked at Li Yan, and Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance were also quite concerned.

Li Yan said resolutely: "In the way of the other, give back to the other, they are sharp, and our righteous army can use rockets." It's that the rocket is not accurate enough, and it can't withstand a large amount, and there is always a catch, which is better than the bow and arrow and the three-eyed system. ”

"They are very red, and our rebels can also use artillery. Our army captured many cities and captured a large number of artillery, although the range was not as far as theirs, and the power was not as strong as theirs.

Ants bite elephants to death, and there is always a fight. ”

Li Zicheng laughed: "Yes, yes, my army has captured so many cities in Henan Province, and I am afraid that hundreds of cannons of all kinds will be captured." Those gunners are also owned by our rebels, and hundreds of cannons are pulled out, and they really have the strength to fight. ”

Liu Fangliang suddenly got up and said, "King Chuang, there is actually another way." ”

He said: "When the brothers Li Guo and I besieged the vanguard of the Wang Dou army, the Dayong brothers also made their bird blunt soldiers unable to deal with it, and almost exhausted their spearmen. That Wang Dou's army is very fierce, but after all, they have few people, and our righteous army has 100,000 divisions, and they are constantly attacking them with a sea of people, and there will always be times when they can't deal with it. ”

Everyone in the hall glanced at each other, and Li Zicheng also snorted, he made a quick decision in his heart, and continued to consume Wang Dou's military strength with hungry soldiers. However, there are a few literati in the hall on the side, and he also boasts that he wants to be the teacher of benevolence and righteousness, such tactics can be done, but not said.

Suddenly, someone smiled coldly, but it was Niu Venus who opened. , he bowed deeply to Li Zicheng and said: "King Chuang, generals, Gu Youyun: Ji's worries are not in the moment, but in the Ran of Xiao Wall." The Ming court is corrupt, "the fortune of the country is coming to an end, we are waiting for the righteous army to return to the destiny, although Luoyang is strong, there are also Wang Dou and all the reinforcements, but how can it be completely tiled?" ”

He was in a fog, and he said that all the generals in the field were at a loss, Liu Zongmin touched his beard: "Mr. Niu, can you explain it clearly?" ”

Niu Jinxing stroked his beard and smiled: "Okay." ”

He said: "As you know, King Zichuang re-raised the banner and swept through many prefectures and counties in Henan Province in a few months, leaving only Luoyang as a lonely city. By what? Popularity! The imperial court is corrupt, natural and man-made disasters are endless, and the people are waiting to be fed. ”

"Whether it is the capture of Yongning, Yiyang, or the cities of Lingbao, Xin'an, and Yanshi, they are all righteous people. Our division conquered so many cities without much effort. Well, the capture of Luoyang City is also in this righteous people. Wang Dou can fight again, the righteous people rise up, open the city, and cause trouble to Xiao Wall, he will definitely lack the skills to return to the sky. ”

Everyone in the hall exchanged their heads, and Li Zicheng was also moved, and he asked Yuan Zongdi: "Brother Yuan, how did you do with the affairs of the righteous people?" ”

Yuan Zongdi was the first to report to Li Zicheng about the attack on Luoyang, and only then did he continue to pick up the topic, and he was a little embarrassed: "The official patrol is very strict, and the city is full of training and bravery, and it is difficult for the righteous army to carry out detailed activities. Luoyang City wants to be like Yongning and Yanshi, but it is difficult to do. ”

Li Zicheng frowned: "Can you only attack hard?" ”

Niu Jinxing reminded with a smile: "King Chuang, don't forget, there are righteous people in the city, and there are also righteous soldiers. ”

Yuan Zongdi said: "King Chuang, Mr. Niu, in fact, the meticulous work of the righteous army is also connected with a rebellious army that entered Henan Mansion from Huangguan. They killed their superiors because of trouble, and were called to Luoyang by Wang Shaoyu, the chief soldier of Henan, to assist in the defense. They were afraid that the government would investigate after the fact, and promised us to raise the banner of uprising, and the time was taken as an internal response. However, they did not have many soldiers and horses, and they did not assist in guarding the vital parts of the city. I'm afraid they won't be able to do anything. ”

Niu Jinxing said with a smile: "There are more people available than the ministry, the students have traveled all over Henan and understand that the Ming of Kaifeng Mansion will be sent." The chief soldier Wang Shaoyu is greedy and incompetent, and he deducts military salaries on weekdays, and his subordinates have long been complaining. Luo Tai and Liu Youyi are greedy for life and afraid of death, and they are also extremely greedy, with less than half of the soldiers and horses under their command. At the beginning of the month, they were ordered to rescue Luoyang, as Brother Yuan said, Liu Jianyi guarded the east of Luoyang, Luo Tai guarded the south of Luoyang, and Wang Shaoyu guarded the north of Luoyang......

Li Zicheng and the others' eyes lit up, and Niu Jinxing suddenly gave Li Zicheng a deep salute: "King Chuang, the students are willing to make a military order, saying that these three people or one of them will be mobilized to sacrifice the city in battle and share the righteous deeds." ”
