Chapter 255: The Battle of Xinyang Town 1

readx;?“ It's getting late today, you have worked hard all the way, go to eat and rest first. www.biquge.info"Yang Guang didn't answer immediately, and after a few words of appeasement, he beckoned people to take the young men of these dozen Lingshan guards down.

When there were only two people left in the room, Zhao Wu stepped forward and explained: "If they are caught by the salt of the Inspection Division, they will die, and they will not make any money selling salt and being lowered by the smuggler salt dealers." During this period of time, the price of grain in Shandong soared, and it was really unbearable, so he took a stick to make a ringing horse. ”

Yang Guang nodded after listening, whether it was a family from Yangzhou or a newly acquired family from Qingzhou, Shandong, they were all ordinary citizens, farmers, fishermen and small traders, etc., lacking the necessary combat skills.

Yang Guang's approach is to use a lot of repetitive training to make these family members abide by discipline and master the use of firearms, so that when they get to the battlefield, they are not fighting but "working", like assembly line production, mechanical loading ammunition aiming and shooting, using the advantages of firearms to kill the enemy at a distance instead of rushing up to the bloody hand-to-hand combat.

According to the military experience of modern time and space, no matter how powerful the artillery is, the enemy's position still needs infantry to occupy, so Yang Guang definitely needs a melee force that can dare to fight. He had mentioned this idea to Zhao Wu that the original plan was to select among the family members, but now that Zhao Wu felt that he had found a more suitable candidate, he would reveal the intention of recruiting those bankrupt guards.

These dozen or so young men dared to take the risk of cutting off their heads to cook salt and sell salt by themselves, and deal with the salt Ding of the Inspection Department and the smuggler of salt in Xinyang Town, and their courage would not be bad. The family has been a guard for generations, and there is some martial arts inheritance, so there is no need to spend time on training. If they can prove their loyalty, they will definitely be a very effective team.

"How can we ensure that they are faithful?" Yang Guang began to think about this problem, he first thought of the story of Shuibo Liangshan, "voting for the name" is obviously a good way, and then let these people bring their families with them, I believe they will have no way out.

After dawn, Yang Guang called all the young men of Lingshan Wei over and told them about the family. As a result, the dozen or so people all nodded like chickens pecking rice, and one guy patted his chest to reassure Yang Guang: "It has been said in the drama that all those who don't take the family are all fraudulent, we must be loyal to the eldest master, please rest assured." ”

Listening to the words of this drama fan, Yang Guang couldn't help but smile, at this time, a family member next to him carried a big basket, which was filled with steamed buns that had just come out of the pot, and the steaming was very appetizing.

Yang Guang took out twenty taels of silver and handed it to the person at the head, then pointed to the steamed bun and said, "The silver is urgent, bring more dry food, go early and return early." Throw away all the bulky household belongings, and I'll buy them for you later. ”

"Thank you for your grace!" The young men of the dozen Lingshan guards knelt down and kowtowed again, and then they took off their shirts, each wrapped a dozen big steamed buns around their waists, and hurriedly left with sticks.

After these Lingshan guards left Xinyang Town, they headed all the way to the direction of the Lingshan Guards in the northeast, and were clearly seen by Yang Guang through the eagle falcons flying high in the sky.

Because of the use of seamless steel pipes, the Wufeng Gun was more advanced than other firearms in the Ming Dynasty, but this advantage did not form a weapon generation gap and could not produce an overwhelming advantage.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, Yang Guang should be equipped with pikemen equal to the number of musketeers, and the two should be mixed into a phalanx. After the battle, the light cavalry is used to detect the surrounding movements in advance, and the human wall composed of pikemen is used to block the enemy cavalry during the battle, so as to give the musketeers behind the wall more opportunities to shoot.

It's just that Yang Guang doesn't have many people in his hands, and he continues to get material support from modern time and space, so he didn't follow the steps but walked out of a development route that seems strange compared with the history of modern time and space.

With layers of barbed wire, there is less need for pikemen walls for defense. You can use the "Summoning Servants" spell to conduct a bird's-eye reconnaissance at a high altitude, so why bother if there is a scout riding back and forth to warn of it?

Seeing that the dozen or so people walked out of the road for seven or eight miles without stopping and delaying, Yang Guang commanded the summoned eagle falcon to hover north in the air to reconnoiter the other directions of Xinyang Town.

Summoning the Eagle Falcon tirelessly centered on Xinyang Town, hovering back and forth in the air within a radius of dozens of miles, taking in everything that happened on the ground. At about 11 o'clock in the afternoon, Yang Guang saw a group of uninvited guests a few miles away through the eyes of the summoned falcon, and beckoned his men to ring the bronze bell hanging on the top of the tallest building in Xinyang Town.

The crisp tremolo of the bell echoed throughout Xinyang Town, and when every family member and sailor heard it, they immediately abandoned what they were doing, picked up the Wufeng Gun and ran towards the pre-selected location with the ammunition pack on their backs. It was three or four minutes before and after, and everyone was in a state of combat readiness and ready to start fighting.

Although there was no sign of the enemy in their field of vision, the trained Wufeng Musketeers skillfully loaded their ammunition, hung up the fire rope, and then took out a metal windproof lighter from their pockets and held it in the palm of their hands, so that as long as Yang Guang gave the order, they could quickly light the fire rope and start shooting at the target.

The enemy only appeared after more than ten minutes, it was a team of about 200 people, the leader of the man was fierce-looking and wearing official robes, and someone immediately recognized his identity: "It's King Guo Yan!" It's King Guo Yan of the Inspection Division! ”

Yang Guangduan sat in a restaurant on the street of Xinyang Town, Tian Yihu stood next to him with the handle of the knife in his hand, and on the other side of the table, there was a strong man with a face full of horizontal meat.

"The action is still quite fast, I delivered the letter in the early morning last night, and I came over at noon today." Yang Guang took a sip of the tea bowl and said lightly.

The strong man on the opposite side with a face full of horizontal flesh suddenly sweated on his forehead, he didn't expect that he had sent someone to report the news, and Yang Guang had already known it clearly.

"Those soldiers should all be the salt of the Inspection Division, but what are the origins of the dozens of people who came on horseback?" Yang Guang put down the tea bowl and asked sincerely.

The strong man with a face full of horizontal meat nodded and said: "Zhao Yuanwai, you can just ask me, I am ......" Before he finished speaking, the strong man suddenly overturned the table and slammed into Tian Yihu, and then he pulled out an armor-breaking cone from his arms and pounced on Yang Guang.
