Chapter 505: Ascending to the heights and looking far away, the Tartars break their courage
readx;
On the right side of the car, two big cars are vacant, separated from the left and right, and the fire lock soldiers are on the car and shake, ready for battle!! ”
Wang Tong commanded coldly, and the pro-soldiers who gave the order listened to the order and rode their horses to arrange, but not every cart was fully loaded. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info ordered, and the goods on three carts were emptied, one of which went to the center of the queue of two carts, and Ding Zhuang, who was walking in it, brought wood and iron pieces in the other cart.
This kind of thing, ordinary people can't get involved at all, they are dozens of leaders busy there, the size and thickness of the wooden squares are different, and the numbers are written on them in red paint.
The wooden square is glued to each other, and reinforced with iron buckles, and the shelves are raised layer by layer, and it is not long before there is a height of six feet on the car, and the roof can be added to the car, and the height of the six feet is above the roof of the car.
Seeing that those people who came out for the first time were dazzled, they felt as if it was a miracle, and the watchtower was erected, and the top platform was actually covered by a railing.
There's a lot of talk down there. The leaders who got off the lookout heard their discussions. They are all silent, but they have a proud look on their faces, and they don't understand craftsmanship, which is why they can be the leader.
Some of the leaders couldn't help but show off and said:
"This is on the roof of the car, the base floats, you can't get too high, if you hit the sash under the car, you can get up six feet high!"
To say this is naturally to be amazed, and so on.
It is also the advantage of the establishment of the workshop, the wood and iron parts can be disassembled when they are idle, and they can be assembled and erected when they are used. There are no shocking technological breakthroughs, but they are simple and practical.
In particular, there is no timber on the grassland, and you can only rely on soil and rocks to climb high and look far, or step on horseback, and the height is not enough. It's very inconvenient. This watchtower is used right here.
The watchtower was erected, and a good-eyed guard rode to this side, and climbed up with neat movements, and each four-horse cart could hold twenty people, and each had twenty fire soldiers on the car, which were arranged on the left and right sides of the team
After preparing everywhere, Wang Tong nodded, raised his hand and waved forward, the generals and soldiers passed orders layer by layer, and the brigade moved forward again, and walked forward for a while, but there was no harassment.
Wang Tong walked a few steps, but asked:
"Muen, can your artillery team fight like that with the fire soldiers in the carriage?" He was a steady man, stayed in Tianjin to guard the forts everywhere, and dispatched people from all over the place to train new artillery. The artillery team Baihu Muen was the commander at this time.
Hearing Wang Tong's question, Mu En, who was riding a horse, followed two steps, pondered and said in a deep voice:
"If you go back to your lordship, I'm afraid that the two-catty cannon won't work, and the tiger squat cannon is too close, so you can only use one and a half catties of cannons, but it's hard to say on the quasi-head!"
Wang Tong nodded and said:
"A cannon and a car, go for it!"
Mu En agreed, and hurriedly rode over to make arrangements.
The people here have just left. Suddenly, I heard the guard on the watchtower behind me shouting:
"On the left, between the thirtieth and thirty-first cars!!"
The carriage queue, from front to back, was numbered in order, and the sequence number was called, which was the approximate, position, and the carriage with the fire commander was exactly at the position of the sixtieth carriage, and when he heard this, the coachman hurriedly drove the horses and hurried forward.
"Thirty-fourth!"
The brigade is in action. By the time we rushed over, the position had changed, and the sentry was condescending. stared at the front and said loudly:
"It's about a hundred and fifty paces away!"
The cart stopped, leaned against the outer baffle and opened widely, the fire soldiers jumped down in unison, and a group of fifty people each who were marching outside the thirty-fourth car stood on both sides of the fire rao soldiers, and one hundred households stepped forward to align the formation and form a horizontal team to walk forward.
Counting the number of steps, he listened intently to the shouts from the watchtower behind, and when he reached fifty steps, the front was blocked by the shaking dead grass, and he couldn't see anything, but the fire soldiers directly checked the fire rope. Twenty fire soldiers lined up in two columns, and with a shout, they all pulled the trigger and fired a volley.
The guns roared, and a lot of dead grass in front of them was broken and fluttered, and then a few screams were heard, and the neighing of horses, and a hundred foot soldiers shouted in unison. Stopped in front of the fire commander and walked forward in a horizontal line.
At this time, I saw that in the dry grass dozens of paces away, dozens of shoe cavalry emerged from the grass, mounted their horses and ran outside.
"There's no one on the left, go back and go back!!"
The people on the watchtower shouted loudly again, and the soldiers were cut off by the spearmen, and calmly returned, during which the brigade was always in action and was not affected.
The fire commander stepped on the put down board and got into the carriage, and the spearmen ran back to their own team, and there was a commotion in the ranks, and many people cheered in low voices.
Wang Tong looked back and said with a smile:
"Passing on the officer's order. Kill enemies here though you don't see the level. According to the defense of the city and the rescue, they will not be treated badly! ”
The soldiers on their horses listened to the order solemnly, and hurried over on horseback to give the order, and when the order arrived, there was another cheer, and the morale was already high.
With a smile on his face, Wang Tong asked the general and said:
"The horses we brought back from Zhangjiakou seem to be all tall horses, and it's hard for these godsons to make so many horses as big as donkeys."
The general smiled and said:
"The lord was optimistic about the horses that time, in fact, there are some such horses, but they are not suitable for the horse team on the adult's side, they are all sold to the landlords of Yanqing Prefecture and Baoan Prefecture, don't look at this horse is short, he can dig up the ice and snow in the grass and find grass roots to eat, and he has long strength... It's especially fierce, and the rescuers are afraid that they are also deliberately peachy's ponies, so that they can't tame the Sichuan! ”
Mongolian horses are indeed this advantage, Wang Tong nodded, but his idea of building cavalry. The strong horses and armored cavalry are seeking the power of impact, after all, the main foreign enemy of Tianjin Wei is not on the grassland.
After saying a few words, Wang Tong thought of something again, and asked:
"Are there many people in the number who understand what we say?"
The general shook his head and said:
"Those who know Chinese, either nobles or serve nobles, very few, if our words are good, it is better to be a long-term worker for the landlord than to suffer on the grassland!"
Wang Tong nodded. The environment on the grassland is too harsh, the winter is long, the summer is short, and in recent years, I have heard that the grassland looks at the green grass like the sea, cattle and sheep run, but such a scene is only a few months a year, in winter, every time it snows heavily is a disaster for each tribe, a large number of cattle, sheep and people are frozen to death, and the only way to survive is to take refuge in the big tribes, but what those big tribes can do is to organize people, go south to loot in the winter, and act as cannon fodder in front.
The only way to get better is to trade with the Ming Dynasty, but from east to west. Several of the openings were occupied by Altan Khan. There is simply no room for small tribes to intervene, and every year in autumn and winter, in addition to being frozen to death. I had to take refuge, and then Altan Khan couldn't afford to feed so many tribes. It can only drive them south to plunder, which is also a vicious circle.
However, Wang Tong asked whether he understood the Chinese dialect, but he didn't ask this, the guards who looked out on the watchtower shouted loudly there, and their voices were very small If the sneaking strangler could understand it, it would be meaningless, but now I don't have to worry about this.
The artillery team behind Baihu Mu En and Wang Tong whispered a few words, but rode towards the watchtower. Got to the bottom of the watchtower. Talking to the sentry on the watchtower, the sentry looked in the direction of Wang Tong. Wang Tong raised his arm and made a gesture, and the sentry on the watchtower nodded. The brigade walked forward for more than half an hour, and there were no more rescue rangers who suddenly appeared in the grass on the road, and the people gradually relaxed, chatting and laughing with each other while busy. They didn't notice how many times the sentry on the watchtower stood up and leaned out.
I don't know when to go up to the carriage under the watchtower, and I look up at the sentry on the watchtower.
It was already noon, and the above had already ordered it to stop, and everyone would eat some cold and dry food first, and then there would be a hot meal in the evening, and everyone felt that it was okay, anyway, the multigrain cakes were all close to their bodies. It's not too cold.
The chariot sitting under the watchtower carriage looked up and talked to the sentry for a few words, and immediately jumped out of the carriage and got out of the gap in the carriage on the right.
In a short time, a small cannon drawn by a horse reached the position of the fortieth carriage on the right, and the artillerymen all ran wildly behind them, and as soon as the cannon stopped, someone hurried up and pulled the wooden cork from the cannon. Someone poked a wooden stick with a tamping ammunition into the chamber of the cannon and rammed it a few times, and someone pushed a brazier with charcoal fire in a small cart and stirred it up with iron bars.
Two people stood on each side of this small cannon, and put their hands on the cannon, and the body of the cannon was cold on this cold day. They are not afraid of freezing their hands.
Just finished being busy, but the man on the watchtower whistled, that is, at the same time, dozens of paces away on the right side, more than 20 cavalry members suddenly appeared with bows and arrows, and screamed loudly in their mouths. And so close.
The small banner behind the artillery stared at the shoe cavalry. The right arm pointed forward, constantly moving the direction, and the soldiers on both sides of the artillery also followed the direction of the right arm to push the artillery, "Fire!" ”
That little flag drink order. The man behind him pulled out the red-hot iron brazing from the brazier and leaned towards the gun's fire door lead, which this time was cut short and burned out quickly.
"Bang", the sharp whistling suppressed the strange cry of the stragulation rangers, more than 20 people gathered together, but none of the targets were almost smashed by the cannonballs, from a distance it looked as if the upper body flesh and blood suddenly exploded, the momentum of the cannonballs continued unabated, and the two cavalrymen behind him were also pierced.
Flesh splattered, and the strange screams of the shoe cavalry twisted and changed into loud screams, and these men threw away their bows and arrows. The horse fled outside, and behind him was the earth-shattering applause and applause
From this cannon until it was dark and camped, the night was uneventful, peaceful and quiet."
