Chapter 0144 If you can't beat it, call for reinforcements

Although He Zhen didn't know why the bandits suddenly opened the city gate, he always felt that things were not so simple.

The north gate of Guangyuan County was opened, and two replica versions of Napoleon's small guns were launched from inside.

Of course, now it is not called this name, and it is named Qin Zuo Mingshan Cannon by firearms expert Shao Mingjun.

This cannon can fire solid, explosive, lime, and grapeball rounds.

Immediately afterwards, many musketeers ran out of the city gate, lined up under Zhang Xin's order, and fired at the swarming enemy troops.

Just like this, the rows of guns went down, Rao is holding a round shield, rushing and beating the Qing soldiers, which could not block the impact of lead bullets.

Their shields were shattered or torn and they fell in the way of the charge.

Since the city gate was opened on their own initiative, these soldiers who were not afraid of death naturally ran towards the city gate.

The dense formation was lured in this way.

As soon as the cannon went down, grapeshot bullets flew all over the sky.

A large number of solid, small-particle shells are loaded with a very short range but a large scattering surface. (Effects like modern shotguns)

It was invented when Napoleon was the commander of artillery in Paris to suppress the rebellion, when he fired at a large mob. Later used in field battles, it is very effective in dense formations at close range.

At this time, the soldiers who charged were beaten by grapeshot from two artillery, and they were powerless to fight back, and they all lay on the way to charge.

In particular, flintlock musket firing reduces the reloading step, allowing for continuous fire.

He Zhen watched his men and horses, one by one, falling on the way to charge, even though it was the closest to the suspension bridge, only twenty paces away.

But this twenty steps of distance can't be rushed.

"Mingjin."

Seeing the heavy losses, He Zhen hurriedly ordered the troops to be withdrawn.

Bang bang bang.

The muskets and artillery continued to fire, and even though the enemy retreated, Qin Zuoming did not order his subordinates to stop until they ran out of range.

There was a whistle sound, and many soldiers stopped shooting, and they couldn't help but cheer.

He Zhen looked at the few soldiers who didn't run back, and most of the rest were all lying in place and pretending to be dead, or moaning about injuries.

Guo Dengxian stared at him and couldn't speak, Rao is a battle he has fought for half his life, and he has never encountered this situation.

didn't even touch people's hair, and was directly beaten without the power to fight back, and was defeated.

You must know that everyone's soldiers are very sufficient, and they pursued the remnants of the Dashun army and defeated 30,000 horses of the Daxi army.

When you encounter a small group of bandits guarding the city, isn't that still holding a handle?

In terms of combat effectiveness, neither He Zhen nor the soldiers under his command would think that these bandits could fight better than the Dashun Army and the Daxi Army.

As a result, it was kicked to the hard board all at once.

He Zhen's face was gloomy, and he encountered resistance in the battle in Sichuan, and he couldn't complain that these bandits dared to do something provocative.

It turned out to be really confident.

"Brother He, how is this good?"

Guo Deng came back to his senses first and couldn't help but ask to be the eldest brother, and he was a figure in the team's think tank.

"He Zhen, you can take away the casualties under the city, Lao Tzu promises not to shoot."

There was a loud roar from the gatehouse.

"It seems that these bandits have enough gunpowder, and our people can't make wedding dresses for others."

He Zhen heard the shouts on the city wall: "Send someone to get back all the corpses of the brothers, and you can't chill the hearts of the people below." ”

"Understood."

Guo Dengxian expressed his understanding that even if he is unwilling to do this kind of thing, in order to unite people's hearts, he has to behave.

Otherwise, who will be relieved to fight with you?

Besides, He Zhen has strict discipline most of the time, otherwise his subordinates would not be so combative, and they would be able to beat away the 30,000 Great Western Army and Feng Shuangli.

As for his generals, they don't have much military discipline, and in this regard, He Zhen can only ensure that his descendants will not directly plunder.

"Call Ma Ke and Li Yutian over, didn't they hit Tongchuan Mansion last year?"

He Zhen hammered his fists and said: "You can't let me suffer this loss alone, you have to use their people to consume the gunpowder of these bandits." ”

Guo Deng thought for a while: "Brother He, now that our attack on Guangyuan has been frustrated, the brothers under our command are afraid that they have some complaints.

If we wait for these reinforcements to arrive, we will raid the vicinity of Boryeong Province first, so as not to be preempted by others. ”

"There's no rush in this matter, wait for these people's reinforcements on the way, and then talk about it."

He Zhen didn't stop his brothers from getting rich, and if they didn't pay their salaries, they could only plunder.

Several letters were sent one after the other.

A letter was directly delivered to Azig, and at this time he led the army to pursue Li Zicheng, and he was in the midst of excitement.

Now the third son Lao Qin has written a letter to him, isn't he injured and is going to return to the team?

Azig is also very satisfied with this thought, his eldest son sits in Beijing like this, leading several sons to come out to earn military merits, and the second and fourth are all by his side.

Azig waved his hand to leave his scalp fur alone, took out the letter, looked at it, and then became angry.

His son of Prince Ying was cut off and became a eunuch, which is a great shame!

Not only that, but he was also cut off an arm and a leg.

Azig would rather his son be killed at the goalpost than be sent back like this.

Not only did he hate this man named Saiwolong, but he also hated his son for losing face to the family, why didn't the doorpost commit suicide!

If this revenge is not avenged, how can Azig swallow this breath?

Prince Azig of England directly called people in: "Someone." ”

A group of generals all came in, and by this time Dorgon had not yet given the order to keep the whole country without a head.

But these surrendered Han army generals, in order to show their loyalty, they shaved their heads early.

Everyone saw that Azig's face was very bad and extremely irritable.

"Bayan."

"The minions are here."

The same money rat-tailed man stood up in a blue cotton armor.

Bayan is the fifth son of Li Yongfang, the first border general of the Ming Dynasty to surrender to Jin, and now serves by Azig's side, and the Han army is a member of the Blue Banner.

"Tong Dai."

"The minions are here." Tong Dai is also a native of the Blue Banner of the Han Army.

Azig was very satisfied with the statement of the two, and now there is no order for Hanchen not to say that the slaves are all stipulated by Yongzheng Qianlong.

And in order to flatter the high-level, these people all call themselves slaves to show their closeness.

"With the two of you entering Sichuan from Hanzhong, attacking Guangyuan, and capturing this bandit named Saiwolong for me, all the people in Guangyuan County will be cut down for me."

Everyone was puzzled for a while, and when they heard that the doorpost Beizi went to Guangyuan to persuade him to surrender, what happened?

Azig grabbed the arm of the chair and said, "All the generals in Hanzhong are at the disposal of your Bayan, if you are defeated, you don't have to come back to see me." ”

"Yes, the minions will definitely capture the bandit Saiwolong alive."

The two knelt on the ground and saluted, and hurriedly led the troops out.

The Han army under the Blue Banner was more than 2,300 people, plus some generals' clothed minions, and a total of 2,500 people began to march rapidly.
