Knowing this result, Lu Haoshan was not surprised, in fact, as early as Lu Haoshan's expectations, firstly, Deng Xi and Wang Pu would contribute to it, and secondly, the imperial court was too poor to make ends meet.

The famous Eight Kings of Xiying, who was originally a small post pawn, was smashed by Chongzhen, and then rebelled in anger.

For a team that has no one and no combat effectiveness, the military department is happy to let it out of the battlefield, because this can save a lot of money and food, with Deng Xi and Wang Pu active in it, the speed of approval is extremely fast, and it was approved in only three days, which can be called god speed.

In order to facilitate the war, the military department sent a commissioner to supervise the war in Wu'an, and the procedures did not need to go through the lobby of the military department.

A small thousand households, there is no need to alarm the big men of the military department.

On October 27th, a horse team from Zhending Mansion braved the cold to the direction of Sichuan, where this team passed, people always felt a complicated feeling: just look at the scale, thousands of horses composed of a vast team, all kinds of horses and carriages to form a team more than two miles long, people are amazing, and this horse team is officers and soldiers, these officers and soldiers are high, on weekdays do not harm the common people, the common people have no less resentment towards them, but this group of officers and soldiers make people unable to complain to them, one by one with injuries, It is said that he was injured during the suppression of bandits, and in the horse team, there was also a newly made coffin, which was full of the corpses of fallen soldiers.

This battle is really speechless, so that many people's feelings are complicated.

This team with complicated feelings is the soldiers of the Wenchong Qianhu led by Lu Haoshan, and the military department has not yet approved it. Lu Haoshan guessed this result, and asked his soldiers to prepare early, but in fact, there was nothing to prepare, the gold and silver goods were almost pulled away by Wang Puquan, and the rest of the grain was discounted except for a part, and it cost a lot of silver to add a coffin.

Fortunately, Lu Haoshan has a lot of horses, and the horses can't play any role in the final battle, so there is no loss, so you can save a lot of effort. In order to fulfill the promise of "no one is missing", Lu Haoshan brought all the soldiers back, and if he couldn't bring the living, he would bring the corpses, for which Lu Haoshan also hired dozens of coachmen.

Hundreds of corpses were transported across provinces, although the project was large and the cost was huge, but it was ambiguous to the hearts of all the soldiers, and all the soldiers were grateful to Lu Haoshan, and many people secretly vowed that if they were still soldiers in their next life, they would also be Lu Haoshan's soldiers.

When he came out, the armor was cleaned. Swords and guns are like a forest, and although the battle is not small when they go back, everyone is injured, and all of them are sad and angry. The once high-spirited brother is now lying in a coffin that still exudes the smell of fresh wood, what a tragic scene.

Eight hundred people left Sichuan, and only two hundred people remained. They were all wounded, and some of them couldn't even ride horses, so they could only sit in carriages. Li Dingguo said with a sad face: "My lord, we have lost a lot this time, if we knew that these people were so treacherous, we would not have rushed to this troubled water." ”

"Yes, what these people do is simply chilling, either they don't save them when they die, or they take advantage of the fire to rob, it's simply shameful." Zhao Gongchang echoed with a look of disgrief.

"The whole army was almost wiped out, this battle is too hanging." Rao is Tang Qiang, who has always disliked expressing opinions, also sighed with palpitations.

Six hundred, in the whole battle situation, is not much, it is estimated that in the eyes of many ministers, it is an insignificant number on the battle report, but in the eyes of Wen Chong Qianhu's soldiers, this is the hard work of the thousand households, the lives of six hundred life and death brothers, and these six hundred people are the elite of the elite.

After this battle, Wen Chong Qianhu can be said to be greatly damaged.

Lu Haoshan saw that everyone's feelings were a little low, and said solemnly: "Don't be discouraged, although I Wenchong Qianhu has suffered heavy losses, but the remaining 200 people are 200 seeds, with them, we will soon be able to regain our glory." ”

Battle-hardened soldiers are veterans, who not only have accumulated rich combat experience, but more importantly, they have left in their bones the fierce, unyielding, and enthusiastic spirit, which is a wealth that cannot be exchanged.

Regardless of ancient or modern, when a unit with a fighting spirit wants to carry out a bloody battle or a difficult task, it will subconsciously leave a few backbones, even if the whole army is destroyed, it can also leave the "seed" and the "soul" of this army, in Lu Haoshan's eyes, these 200 subordinates who escaped death are the seeds of 200 strong troops.

"My lord, it's snowing." Li Dingguo suddenly spoke.

Suddenly it snowed in the sky, goose feather snow fluttered in the cold wind, as if sighing, and like bidding farewell to the souls of the heroes who died in battle, the scene was lonely and bleak, suddenly, Lu Haoshan remembered a very famous song in later generations, the name was about winter.

Gently, I will leave you,

Please wipe away the tears from the corners of your eyes,

In the long nights, in the days to come,

Don't weep for me, dear ones,

……

Not at this time, I don't know when,

I think it's going to be around winter.

When I left Sichuan, it was winter, I was ordered to go on the expedition, and I was speechless in the face of when my wife and concubine would go back, and now it was winter when I went back, which just imprinted this song, and when I thought of the two beautiful shadows and the warm home, Lu Haoshan's originally sad heart was a little warm, and he waved his big hand and said: "Speed up the pace, let's go home, go home for the New Year." ”

As soon as they heard that they were going home, the eyes of all the soldiers lit up, and the word "home" suddenly raised the low morale a lot, and they couldn't help but clench the leather whip in their hands.......

For the common people, there are two enemies in the disaster year is very terrible, one is called hunger, the other is called cold, the clothes are thin, and the food is not enough, and the north wind blows to make it even worse, and many people are killed by cold every year due to displacement.

While the homeless people were hiding in shelter and desperately wrapping their clothes, there was a place where it was steaming, so that many people were wearing only a summer coat and were soaked with sweat, and this place was the secret weapons research institute that Wenchong Senhu had secretly built.

In the research institute, Li Nian, whose eyes were bloodshot, stood on the side of the corner, although there was a rattan chair under his buttocks, but Li Nian did not sit, but stared nervously at Xu Xiang who was hammering on the side, at this moment. Xu Xiang is carefully polishing the last component, this is one of the parts of the new type of backfill firearm designed by his own Dong Weng, after nearly two years of research, there has finally been great progress recently, now is the critical moment, the day before yesterday began to assemble Li Nian has been staring at it without leaving.

This fire is too important, not counting manpower and material resources, the investment in silver alone is as high as more than 50,000 taels, and more than a dozen craftsmen led by Xu Xiang have worked day and night and studied for nearly two years. This new-style firearm directly determines its own fate and future, and repeatedly tells a qiē to put the new-style firearm first, Li Nian saw that Lu Haoshan was so solemn, and also put the affairs of the institute in the first place, and accompanied him throughout the whole process at this important moment.

In addition to the efforts he made, he also wanted to surprise him before his own Dong Weng came back, and the news from the front that Lu Haoshan was already on the way back, counting the days. came back in the past two days, and Li Nian was naturally very concerned.

With carrier pigeons and fine newspaper teams, although Lu Haoshan suppressed bandits in Shanxi, Henan and other places, there has always been information exchanges. Receiving the news of the bloody battle of the Wenchong Department and flying to the peak scared Li Nian a lot, but fortunately, he later received the news that Lu Haoshan escaped from death, but the news that the Wenchong Department was almost wiped out still made Li Nian regret it. So he hoped to surprise Lu Haoshan when he came back, or an explanation, so he waited here.

The part that Xu Xiang polished was a small firing pin, which was a little larger. If you want to run in better, Xu Xiang, who was born as an old blacksmith, did it himself.

To be honest, for this small firing pin, Xu Xiang can be said to have spent a lot of time, don't look at a small firing pin, but the process requirements are extremely strict, hardness and toughness are very high, for this small firing pin, Xu Xiang took three newly recruited disciples to spend three months to research, this is still thanks to the high-quality iron smelted by the blast furnace designed by Lu Haoshan to succeed.

After repeated polishing, Xu Xiang finally polished the firing pin, carefully installed the firing pin, and finally, another new type of firearm came out.

The reason why I say "again", that is, a total of seventeen samples were made before, but they all ended in failure, this one, is the eighteenth, but also the eighteenth attempt, fortunately Lu Haoshan can afford to make money, and regardless of the cost of investment, the institute is required to take, often tell Xu Xiang not to be afraid of failure, the funds are open, unlimited supply, and this is how the eighteenth new firearm came out.

"Master Li, this new type of firearm has been assembled." When the last part was assembled, Xu Xiang said excitedly.

"Try it." Although Li Nian was a little excited in his heart, his cultivation was very good, and he still said calmly on the surface.

Before he tried it, he was full of variables, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, Lu Haoshan repeatedly told Li Nian not to urge Xu Xiang, to give him enough patience and tolerance, if he was too eager, it would put pressure on Xu Xiang.

Xu Xiang nodded, and handed the fire gun to one of the disciples, who was in charge of testing the gun.

The disciple carefully filled a new bullet from behind, and then whispered, "Master, how far is it?" ”

"One hundred and fifty steps," Xu Xiang pondered for a moment, and then said confidently.

At the sound of an order, someone placed a wooden target at a distance of one hundred and fifty steps, and the disciple took a look at it, pulled the firing pin, and then pulled the trigger hard, and with a loud "bang", the muzzle of the new-style firebolt burst into flames, and a new-style bullet sprayed out from the muzzle of the gun, easily piercing a large hole in the target.

It's done, it's done, Li Nianyi was excited, a fanatic look appeared in his eyes, and his two hands were unconsciously clenched into fists.

Before he could open his mouth to applaud, a surprised voice suddenly sounded outside the research institute: "It's back, it's back, Lord Qianhu, they're back."
