Although the flaws are obvious, in the era of cold and hot weapon innovation in the late Ming Dynasty, it is still a very lethal hot weapon.

In terms of the degree of understanding of Western firearms, Xu Guangqi, who is recuperating at home, is the first to be recommended. The second is his student Sun Yuanhua and Mao Yuanyi, who stayed in the barracks.

Although Yang Chengying formed the Lin Zi Battalion, he always felt inappropriate for them to kill the enemy with bows and arrows.

After Mao Yuanyi came, Yang Chengying obtained a few bird guns through smuggling channels, and asked him to teach Lin Ziying how to use bird guns while supervising the construction of weapons.

With the arrival of Fang Zhenru and the urgency of the war in Liaodong, Yang Chengying realized that this was a good opportunity to "sit on the ground and raise prices".

He then found Fang Zhenru and asked for more than 500 bird guns for Lin Ziying, otherwise he would not be able to deal with Houjin Chongqi.

Fang Zhenru did not agree at the beginning, and only agreed under Mao Yuanyi's persuasion.

Zhang Heming, the secretary of the military department, was already panicked at this time, and when he heard this request, regardless of the unpleasant quarrel with Xu Guangqi because of the matter of Western firearms, he ordered the Jinzhou guards to be allocated 560 bird guns and the required ammunition.

Yang Chengying has been stationed in Xiongyueyi without sending troops, and another reason is that he is waiting for the arrival of this batch of birds.

With the foreshadowing in front, as soon as the bird gun is in hand, it will be familiar after practicing for another day or two.

Now, Mang Gurtai is going to try it, the first battle of the Lin Zi Battalion.

"Ready...... Put! ”

Bang! Bang! Bang!

With the sound of gunfire, a puff of smoke rose from the position and drifted into the air.

The heavily ridden mount was frightened and immediately scurried.

Houjin was in a mess.

While scolding his men, Mang Gurtai ordered: "Everyone, let me rush towards this group of firearms." ”

A strong torrent rushed towards the Lin Ziying.

"Ready, cast!"

The 2nd Battalion of Water and Fire immediately threw out its throwing guns and attacked the heavy cavalry under the command of Mang Gurtai from the side.

In a few moments, hundreds of cavalry were lost.

"Damn!" Mang Gurtai's eyes were red, he didn't expect that he had suffered such heavy losses, and he hadn't even touched the cold hair of the enemy.

He slapped his legs on his horse, and rushed towards the position of the Lin Zi camp, as long as he rushed closer, the birds were useless.

At this time, under the command of Yang Chengying, the soldiers of the Lin Zi battalion saw the waving banner and immediately chose to retreat.

Not far behind them were the woods.

Heavy cavalry rushing into the woods will greatly affect mobility.

Mang Gurtai was suddenly anxious, and if they were allowed to flee into the woods, they would not be beaten in vain.

They hurried to catch up.

The first trouble that stood in front of them was the rejection of the horses.

Mang Gurtai wanted to go around.

But the pikemen had already approached.

"Spear, spike!"

"Kill!"

The pikemen, with spears much longer than Houjin, launched an attack on the heavy cavalry.

"Turn around and give me the pikes battalion of the enemy."

Mang Gurtai hurriedly gave the order.

What he was facing was an impregnable wall.

The spears of the 2nd Battalion of Water and Fire stabbed the enemy soldiers on the top and the legs of the horses downward, so that the heavy cavalry could not give full play to their advantage.

The Lin Zi battalion also continued to shoot with bird guns in the woods.

Yang Chengying led the Fengzi battalion and cruised to the north of the heavy cavalry, successfully cutting off the connection between the infantry and the cavalry.

Zu Tianshou led the Ming army and took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack on the Houjin infantry soldiers.

The Houjin soldiers, who lost their unified command, suddenly became a flock of sheep running on the grassland, and were eaten by the Ming army who were bent on revenge and material rewards.

What about the Derg class that came to support?

He was on the north bank of the Qing River.

Yang Chengying repeated the old trick, built a dam in the upper reaches of the Qing River to block the water, and released the water after Mang Gurtai crossed the river.

A wave of flood peaks made the Derge class only sigh and wait for the water to slow down before crossing the river.

Mang Gurtai found himself under siege and completely calmed down.

Aware of the hardship of his situation, he ordered the heavy cavalry to charge north at once to meet the infantry.

"The goal has been achieved." Seeing this, Yang Chengying ordered, "Quickly get out of the battle and let Mang Gurtai and the Nu chieftain soldiers converge." ”

"Yes!"

The herald voices the flag.

Zu Tianshou and other generals quickly withdrew their troops.

Mang Gurtai smoothly joined up with his infantry and scolded: "What is the idea of this little bastard? ”

As soon as the words fell, the sentry came to report: "Sanbeiler, the Ming army has pressed over." ”

Mang Gurtai looked at the flag fluttering in the distance, "I'm angry!" I won't let this little bastard go. With that, he ordered the army to retreat.

Soon, it joined up with the Derge class, which was preparing to cross the river.

The two brothers did not care to discuss the matter, and led their troops back to the city.

The Houjin soldiers ran in front, and the Ming army chased behind.

While pursuing, Yang Chengying asked the soldiers to shout the slogan: "The Ming army is victorious!" ”

The Ming army won a big victory!

Hearing these slogans, the Houjin soldiers were terrified.

Gradually, the orderly retreat turned into a rout.

Seeing Gaizhou City appear in the field of vision, Yang Chengying took off the battle robe on his back, gave the spear to the guards, and took the shield and knife in his hand.

"Ranked, the eldest husband takes fame and fame, and he wants to be rich and noble, and he is today!"

Yang Chengying said loudly: "Pass it on, whoever can climb first, will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver and ten buckets of rice." ”

Through the roars of the heralds and soldiers, it was conveyed.

"The first to ascend, a hundred taels of silver, ten buckets of rice!"

The generals shouted.

As soon as the Houjin soldiers crossed the moat, Yang Chengying led the Fengzi battalion to arrive.

He took the lead and led the Fengzi battalion to charge into the enemy formation. Chop left and right, and cut a path in a narrow space.

Subsequently, he dismounted and fought on foot.

"Kill!"

"Kill ......!"

The Fengzi battalion drew their sabers one after another, dismounted and fought to the death.

Killed to the city gate in one go.

The Houjin soldiers who wanted to close the city gate were stabbed to the ground by Yang Chengying and Su Xiaojing.

Other Ming troops arrived one after another, and they threw the ladders they had prepared in advance on the moat and stepped on the wooden ladders to cross the moat. Replace the shovel and chisel the city wall.

As soon as Derge saw this situation, he knew that Gaizhou couldn't hold it.

"Fifth brother," he advised Mang Gultai, "let's retreat quickly, or we will die in this place." ”

Mang Gurtai shouted: "I will not go! Then he weakened his momentum and said, "Father Khan knows that I have lost Gaizhou and will kill me." ”

Derge said: "Fifth brother, don't be stupid. Victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and Father Khan will not do anything to you and me. Let's go, it's too late if you don't go. ”

Mang Gurtai looked at the Ming army that was coming in one after another, and could only lead the Houjin soldiers to withdraw from Gaizhou City. Those who did not retreat in time were captured or killed by the Ming army.

Yang Chengying led the Ming army to quickly capture the remaining three gates of Gaizhou, and after holding it, he eliminated the Houjin soldiers who did not have time to escape in the city.

A fierce battle, up and down the city of Gaizhou, inside and outside were soldiers killed on both sides, as well as bloodstains.

Yang Chengying commanded the envoys and dispatched his generals to stabilize the order of Gaizhou City and repair the big hole dug by the Ming soldiers.

At this time, the guards came to report: "General, Fang Xunpress, General Li, Mr. Ning and Mr. Mao are here." ”

"Oh." Yang Chengying waved away the guards and got up to greet him.

Fang Zhenru came in with a smile, and when he saw Yang Chengying, he congratulated: "Congratulations, you have won the victory in Gaizhou." ”

"Thank you, Lord Patrol." Yang Chengying was not happy in his heart, and he didn't have the face of Fang Zhenru on his lips, "If it weren't for the concerted efforts of all of you, it would be difficult for me to achieve a big victory." ”

Mao Yuanyi asked: "Looking at the general's face, it seems that there is a fly in the ointment. ”

Yang Chengying sighed and said, "The slave chief soldiers have escaped too much, which is very unfavorable to us." ”

The crowd fell silent.
