"Second brother, we also have a lot of firearms, which doesn't work very well in any battle, in the end, it still depends on the martial arts of riding and archery, if you want to say what the firearms are for, at best it is just to scare people!" Yue Poyu said.
"Hehehe, silly boy, that's your fire gun is too bad!" Li Jibo suddenly interjected, and the old man said with a smile: "My best fire gun in the Ming Dynasty can shoot a hundred and fifty steps away, and a fine bird gun can also shoot a hundred steps, and at about fifty steps, it can penetrate two layers of armor, which is much sharper than most bows and arrows." At that time, Qi Jiguang strongly admired firearms, and when he served as the chief soldier of Jizhen, the firearms of the border army increased rapidly. By the time of the three major expeditions of Wanli, the firearms of our dynasty had passed the Japanese people, and Wang Jingluo once strongly advocated relying on firearms to fight against the Manchu iron cavalry. Hey, it's just a pity that corrupt officials and corrupt officials are up and down and joke with a sharp weapon to protect the family and defend the country, so they ended up today, which is really sad and lamentable! ”
Li Xu also said: "My father is right, I also selected some fine firearms for testing, fifty steps apart, the fat pig wrapped in two layers of iron armor was shot, although the armor was not broken, but the muscles and bones inside, and even the internal organs were shattered. This firearm looks even more refined than the one I used for verification, and it is estimated that it will not be a problem to hit 150 steps, far more than the range of a bow and arrow. ”
Zhou Yingjie said with a smile: "When my uncle was training, he actually admired firearms very much, but our firearms were too poor. At the time of the battle of Yang Liuqing, the Tartar soldiers rushed towards us, and they could not hit us at all from fifty paces, so they could only wait for the Tartars to enter thirty paces before they opened fire, and the Tartars fell down in pieces like wheat. ”
Sun Cheng frowned, and couldn't help asking, "Ninth brother, thirty steps, I'm afraid that the bows and arrows of the Tartar soldiers can shoot you, right?" ”
Zhou Yingjie smiled bitterly and nodded: "Bear with it, the equipment is not as good as others, are you still afraid of them!" ”
As he spoke, Zhou Yingjie showed a strong pride, they were able to win more with less and defeat the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and they did have this pride.
Listening to the talk of several people, Gu Zhenhua was also extremely emotional, in fact, people who have been in the frontier for a long time are not confused, they say that there is Taizu Chengzu in the distance, and Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang in the closer, how they fight, everyone knows clearly. It's just that the Ming Dynasty's government collapsed, the finances collapsed, and it couldn't recruit good soldiers, it couldn't make good weapons, and a group of civil officials and eunuchs blindly commanded, and the good men were buried in vain!
"Brothers, these firecrackers were all brought out of the capital, and the workmanship is quite good, let's verify the power!" Gu Zhenhua said with a smile.
Everyone nodded yes in unison, and they chose five troikas, which were lined up about a hundred paces, and added a layer of carriages to each carriage to act as a target.
Zhou Yingjie transferred fifteen people from his subordinates, held fire guns, and shot together. Gu Zhenhua watched it in person from behind, only to see the smoke rising and the sound loud.
They shot three rounds in a row, and before the smoke cleared, Yue Poyu ran over and came to the front of several carriages, and Yue Poyu's eyes immediately straightened.
"Oh my God, the carriages are shattered!"
Yue Poyu picked up a hardwood board, only to see that there was a lead bullet embedded in it, and the board was full of cracks. If this hits the flesh and blood, it will definitely be dead or alive.
Yue Poyu seemed to be able to see countless Tartar cavalry rushing over, and then they were smashed to pieces by the fire and fell to the ground.
In an instant, Yue Poyu's opinion of the fire gun turned one hundred and eighty degrees, and he suddenly smiled and said, "Seventh brother, ninth brother, you have to give a little more to the younger brother of the fire gun." ”
Gu Zhenhua brought out 3,000 guns from the capital, and Zhou Yingjie and they couldn't use them in the first place, so they just took out 1,500 guns and gave them to Guan Ningjun.
Guan Ningjun is well-trained, and he is no stranger to firearms, and in order to enhance everyone's confidence, they are also arranged to test the power of firecrackers in turn.
As a result, after the test, everyone held the fire gun and was reluctant to let go, it was just a baby pimple!
After Gu Zhenhua's personal coordination, the two troops communicated with each other, the infantry had war horses and armor, and the cavalry got sharp firearms.
The things that happened to be made from the capital and Shanhaiguan were perfectly combined, looking at the five thousand troops in front of him who were almost armed to the teeth, Gu Zhenhua was also very proud.
This is already a force that is not weak, as long as you train well and take these people as the backbone, you will definitely be able to pull up a strong team very quickly, and Gu Zhenhua's confidence is getting more and more inflated.
However, there is still a problem to be solved at the moment, and that is to unite the morale of the military!
"Brothers, everyone has gathered together, some are the Guanning army, some are the army of Shanxi, and there are Jingying, all of whom come from different backgrounds and backgrounds. But now that we're all together, we're a team, clenched into a fist, and we're no longer separated from each other. ”
"Okay." Li Xu said with a smile: "Wu Sangui is a traitor, surrendered to the Manchu Dynasty, and the reputation of the Guanning Army has been ruined, just so we will change our face and be a new person!" ”
Guo Yunlong and Yue Poyu also nodded frequently, these people from Guan Ningjun spoke first, Sun Cheng, 6 Yong, Zhou Yingjie and they all had no objections.
Gu Zhenhua lowered his head and pondered for a while, then said with a smile: "Soldiers need to serve the country, and the people need peace, so it's called An**, right?" ”
"Wonderful!" Li Jibo said with a smile: "A word of peace, how many Li people are looking forward to it, I just hope that you can really stabilize the country and save the dawn." ”
After a few people agreed, the team was immediately mixed, Gu Zhenhua was appointed as the commander of An**, and the whole army was divided into ten battalions, each with 500 people, and they happened to be ten people who worshipped, one was responsible for one battalion. In this way, the original structure was completely broken up, and Gu Zhenhua's control power was greatly improved.
When five thousand people stood in front of Gu Zhenhua, a large area of black pressure was all kneeling on one knee and swearing allegiance, and in an instant, Gu Zhenhua's blood also boiled.
Commanding thousands of troops and fighting on the battlefield may be the dream of every man. God has given me a chance, and that is to leave my own chapter in history!
"Long live Ann!"
"Long live Ann!"
"Long live Ann **! Long live the Loyal and Brave Uncle! ”
……
The uniform shouts shook the four fields, and the strong momentum made the heavens and the earth change color, and the frightened An ** of countless people officially appeared on the stage of history.
From meeting and worshipping, to exchanging war horse equipment, and reorganizing the team again, it was busy for more than an afternoon, and it was not until midnight that it was all processed. The soldiers had taken advantage of this opportunity to get a good night's sleep and recuperate their tired bodies.
However, Gu Zhenhua didn't have time to rest, they were not far from Shanhaiguan, maybe when the Manchu army would pursue them, the top priority was to go south.
Just when Gu Zhenhua was planning the next step to seize Tianjin, suddenly Hou Sanhuai hurriedly ran over.
"Sir, something is wrong, the scouts have just found out, and a cavalry has been chased out from Shanhaiguan, and the target seems to be us!"
When Gu Zhenhua heard this, his brows immediately furrowed, An ** had just been created, and the troops were still very fragile, and it was absolutely very dangerous to encounter an attack at this time.
"Give my order, and the whole army will immediately go south. In addition, send out a lot of scouts to figure out the pursuers for me! ”
"Hey!" Hou Sanhuai immediately went to give the order.
……
Wu Sangui hated Gu Zhenhua, hated the itchy root of his teeth, and after getting Dolgon's order, he immediately chased down with two thousand Guan Ning troops and two thousand eight banners.
In fact, there was less than a day between them and Gu Zhenhua, but they encountered a lot of Dashun army routs along the way, as well as people fleeing, delaying time.
It is precisely because of this delay that Gu Zhenhua has been given valuable time to reorganize the army, and the team has been reborn and has a new attitude.
Of course, Wu Sangui didn't know this, he still gritted his teeth and chased all the way.
"Lord Wang, we have a campsite in front of us, I'm afraid it's Gu Zhenhua and those traitors!"
When Wu Sangui heard this, he suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly urged the horse forward, he looked carefully, and then gritted his teeth and said: "That's right, there are many ruts on the ground, and a lot of horse manure, it must be Gu Zhenhua's soul!" ”
These things were all snatched from Shanhaiguan, and they were all flesh scraped from his Wu Sangui, and the big traitor was furious. Immediately ordered a desperate pursuit, and the four thousand cavalry did not stop for a moment, frantically pursuing.
Wu Sangui chased after him for more than a day, and just as he was gnawing on dry food, his subordinates suddenly came to report.
"Lord Wang, ten miles ahead, there is a team waiting for us, it is the group of people brought out by Gu Zhenhua."
When Wu Sangui heard this, he immediately jumped up from the ground, stopped eating dry food, and shouted to his subordinates: "The traitors have no way out, follow this king and kill them!" ”
Wu Sangui did not hesitate to chase after him, in his impression, Gu Zhenhua, who only had more than 2,000 people, could never be his opponent in the field. One walk and one walk, you can kill this gang!
……
"Brothers, half of the troops brought by Wu Sangui this time are Guan Ningjun and half of them are Tartars, with a total of four thousand people, which is slightly less than ours, but the combat effectiveness should not be underestimated. In particular, the Iron Cavalry Charge is even more powerful. But we can't afford not to fight this battle, let a wolf follow behind, we will be eaten by wolves sooner or later, as long as we are brave enough to beat them, we can calmly go south. ”
Hearing the chasing soldiers, Gu Zhenhua was startled, but when he learned that there were only about 4,000 people, Gu Zhenhua made a small calculation, most of the big traitors didn't know that he got another 2,000 soldiers, and many of the 2,000 soldiers were elites who had fought with the Tartars. With this, coupled with sharp firearms, it was enough to give Wu Sangui a head-on blow.
"In this battle, I, the eighth brother, and the ninth brother led three battalions as the main force, and formed a frontal battle against Wu Sangui. The second and fifth brothers each took a battalion of cavalry, divided into two wings to prevent a flank breakthrough. Big brother, you lead the rest of the men and horses as a backup force. ”
Gu Zhenhua said confidently: "Let this battle become an army salute, we want to make the traitor's blood sacrifice flag!" ”
