CHAPTER XLVII. Shock everyone.
The Liao State, or the head of the Xi Army, is called Zhuanda, and each Zhuan Da is in charge of ten people. One of these nine vests is the leader of this group of Khitan scouts. Without waiting for the infantry and followers to escape, he slashed the back of one of the followers who was about to escape, and slashed the follower to death on his horse. "Death to those who retreat!" If you escape, you will also be chased and killed by the vests, and there is no way to live, so the Khitan scouts can only rush in the dark way. Hearing Zhunda's howl, the few infantry armor and followers who wanted to escape turned their horses' heads again, gritted their teeth and followed the vests and rushed forward. These Great Song Dynasty soldiers were firearms soldiers, and the Khitan scouts imagined: the Great Song soldiers were slow to load, and as long as they rushed into the ranks of the Great Song army, the Great Song soldiers would be dispersed in hand-to-hand combat.
Bypassing the corpses on the ground, twelve Tartars howled and rushed towards the two squads of the Elective Regiment. One hundred meters, eighty meters, sixty meters, the soldiers of the Elector Regiment had already finished loading and raised their flintlock rifles again. "Shoot!" Sixteen rifles fired in a volley, spitting out death-defying bullets at the twelve Khitan scouts.
The bullet has good sealing in the chamber and the muzzle velocity is fast, and the conical bullet rotates at high speed, and the armor-piercing ability is far greater than that of the smoothbore gun. As long as you shoot at a distance of 70 or 80 meters, the conical bullet can penetrate the double armor of the Qing army's vest. At this time, at a distance of sixty meters, even the Khitan scout "vest" wearing two layers of armor would be immediately knocked out of the hole. The distance was only sixty meters, and the seven vests that rushed in front became the best targets for flintlock rifles, and all of them were hit, and all of them were hit by bloody holes in their bodies at once, and blood was splashed everywhere. The bullets that penetrate the armor are no longer evenly rotated because of the uneven force, and the lethality is even more amazing. These bullets churned irregularly in the body of the vests, causing seven vests to spit blood and lose their lives in an instant.
Plopped, and the seven Khitan scout elites who had killed countless people immediately fell under the horse. The four infantry armor behind did not escape the fate of death, and all of them were shot by bullets and fell off their horses. Two salvos, and only one of the twenty-four Khitan scouts was left alive. The attendant knew that the firearms of the soldiers in Beijing Xincheng had a long range and fast loading, and he knew that it was a dead end for him to escape from the back. He threw himself down and shouted loudly to embolden himself, rode his horse around the corpses in front of him, and then accelerated towards the sixteen infantrymen.
Relying on the courage of the battle-hardened battle, he dreamed of crushing these firearms soldiers and picking up a life. He did not know that these riflemen were good at training with bayonets for several months. "Get on the bayonet!" The infantrymen quickly took out the bayonet pinned to the scabbard at their waist, twisted the muzzle of the gun a few times, and loaded the bayonet. "Thorn!" On the opposite side of the follower, seven or eight bayonets stabbed out, as dense as the thorns suddenly erected by a hedgehog, and stabbed the Khitan scout follower who rushed up last to death on the horse.
Seeing that the twenty-four main forces were killed by the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, the five followers who were guarding the people of the Great Song Dynasty did not dare to come up and fight again, so they abandoned the people and ran away. The scouts killed the Khitan scouts who were seriously wounded by bullets, and cut off the heads together with the Khitan scouts who were killed in the battle, and got nineteen heads. They also tied up five Khitan scouts who were shot in the hands and feet and lost their combat effectiveness, as well as those who were not shot and were injured by falling off their horses. These Khitan scouts have killed too many Song soldiers and killed the people of the Great Song Dynasty over the years, and they have accumulated prestige for a long time, and they have not reacted when they were defeated at this time, and they were tied up and knelt on the ground and glared at the scouts angrily, scolding in their mouths.
The scouts were angry at the slaughter of the people by these Khitan dogs, and punched and kicked the tied Khitan scouts, beating the wounded Khitans half to death. Two of the most arrogant waistcoat teeth were knocked out.
"Let you slaughter the people of my Great Song Dynasty!" "Kill you brutes!" "Dare to enter Tianjing New City to find death?" The five Khitan scouts were beaten and bled from their mouths and noses and spread on the ground one by one, and only then did they become honest and did not dare to stare at the soldiers of the Xuanfeng Regiment anymore.
The scouts have gained a lot in this line. First of all, nineteen heads and five captives. This was followed by horses and armor, and the scouts captured twenty horses and twenty-six pairs of armor. The armor has holes when it is hit by bullets, but it can still be repaired by blacksmiths. Those people who had no way to escape saw that the scouts had killed more than 20 Khitan scouts, as if they had seen a god general. They knew that they could only survive by following these soldiers, and more than 300 people rushed over en masse, knelt down in front of the scouts and kowtowed, begging the scouts to contain them. "Master Bing! Take us with you! "Master Bing! There is no escape for us! "Soldiers, don't leave us alone! Soldier! ”
The old men and women collectively prostrate on the ground, kowtowing their heads like lifeless, which made the people who saw it sad. The scouts saw that these people were so pitiful, so they could only take these people back to the city with them, and brought these fleeing people all the way to Tianjing New Town. When the people saw that the soldiers were willing to take them in, they thanked Dade along the way, and they kept talking about gratitude.
Fortunately, the scouts saw these people being slaughtered by Khitan dogs with their own eyes, and knew that there was nothing detailed in them. Otherwise, according to the current atmosphere of the great enemy, Tianjing New City may not dare to contain these people. Yang Peng is sitting in the official hall of Tianjing New Town, dealing with all kinds of news. Suddenly, he heard that the scout had captured five live Khitan scouts and saved more than 300 people, and he immediately praised the scout. Yang Peng asked soldiers who knew Khitan to torture and interrogate these Khitan mouths, hoping to interrogate some news.
For the refugees who came with him, Yang Peng found someone to settle in the south of Tianjing New Town, living in the shack where the original group of masons lived. After investigation, it was determined that these people were all from Yuping County, refugees who fled south when the city was broken. Now they have fled to Tianjing New Town, which can be regarded as picking up a life. Yang Peng asked the food department to provide three meals of rice porridge to the refugees every day, so that these refugees could also participate in the construction of the city's defense.
When the Khitan retreated, these people could return to their hometowns. The five Khitan scouts were interrogated for a day, and they were still hard-mouthed at first, but later they were all honest as soon as they were sentenced, and they explained the details. It was out to fight the grass valley, and now there are not many people from the Great Song Dynasty in Yingzhou, who are arresting some people to sell to those big families in Yingzhou to make a little silver. At this time, the eighth prince also happened to bring people over, preparing to go to the military camp to see Yang Peng's strength. When he saw five Khitan captives, he asked, "You captured this." ”
Yang Peng said, "This group of people came out to fight the grass valley, and our scouts found out, and by the way, they killed nineteen Khitan scouts, captured five prisoners, and beheaded them later, warning those Khitans that as long as they dare to go out of Yingzhou to do evil, they will be beheaded." Wang Qinruo said: "Isn't this okay? They have lost the ability to fight again, you should not be able to kill, you should teach them to be good and good. ”
Yang Peng said. "Even your Confucius knows to repay grievances directly, you still have good thoughts, then the people of our Great Song Dynasty are not dead in vain, I don't care about your Great Song Dynasty, but as long as I dare to kill our people here, one of them will want to live, my belief is to kill to stop killing, kill the Khitan dog until it is afraid, then there are so many things, the Khitan people are people, are we the people of the Great Song Dynasty not people, um." Where did Kou Zhun not speak, yesterday Yang Peng gave Kou Zhun too much surprise, and so far, Kou Zhun has not returned the taste.
The eighth prince pointed to a soldier's flintlock pistol and said, "This is the weapon you said against the Khitan cavalry, right?" Yang Peng said, "That's right, this is the flintlock pistol we researched, within two hundred meters, a headshot, no matter how strong you are, it's the same, the eighth prince, the personal martial arts are no longer good, what you want is the bravery of the whole army, so that the army can be invincible, now we have 10,000 soldiers, that is, 10,000 flintlock pistols, the Khitan people are still fighting with me like this, they can't get into our side, and please Khitan bows and arrows are at most sixty meters, how can you not beat our soldiers, Only give us a share of the killing. ”
She Lao Taijun and Lin Qing'er didn't move, but Yang Bamei and Yang Jiumei couldn't wait to get to the soldiers, touching the soldiers' flintlock pistols, Yang Peng said, "Go to the barracks, please see how our army is trained, please." "The eighth prince took Kou Zhun, Wang Qinruo, Yang Peng with his master, She Lao Taijun, Hua Jieyu, Zhou Yunjing, Yang Qi, Yang Ying, Yang Paifeng and others, walked to the barracks together, Zhang Xiang was leading the army to carry out aiming training, those soldiers were hanging a brick from the head of the flintlock pistol, everyone was sweating profusely, She Lao Taijun said, "Nephew, why are they all hanging a brick," Yang Peng said, "This is the accuracy of practicing soldiers' marksmanship, the gun must be stable, when shooting, the bullet can hit the enemy's important position, And if you want to capture a prisoner, you have to miss, so that the target is not lost. ”
Yang Peng said to Zhang Xiang, "Let a company come out and prepare for a shooting performance, three strikes, you know?" Zhang Xiang said loudly, "Yes" Yang Peng called the eight princes and them to the side to watch, and soon a company. One hundred and forty-six people stood in three rows, each holding the gun in their hands, standing in front of Zhang Xiang as steadily as Mount Tai. Zhang Xiang said, "Are you ready?" "That's the soldier yelling," he said. "Okay, shooting training begins, two hundred meters away, the first platoon is ready." I saw the soldiers in the first row take a step forward like a person, rushing to aim, Zhang Xiang shouted, "Fight." "Just hear, bang, bang, bang.
There was a burst of gunfire, Zhang Xiang was shouting again, "The second row is ready," the first row retreated, the second row rushed to the front to aim, Zhang Xiang shouted, "hit" only heard bang, bang, bang. The gun sounded, the third row was also ready, and the shooting performance was over, Yang Peng took them to see the bullet target, and saw that the target had been broken, and the eighth prince said in surprise, "This is too powerful, the bow and arrow can't hit you at all, I just said that you have so no armor, one is that you have armor and are inconvenient to move, and the other is that it is not necessary, now I am relieved, haha, it seems that Yingzhou and Mozhou are hand-to-take, haha." Let's go back to the official hall. ”
Shi Liancheng, Cui San'er, and Huang Qiaoyun heard that Duan Zhixian and Yin Mingde were going to meet the bandits, so they immediately followed in full gear and squeezed Chen Jie aside. Chen Jie looked at it and said in his heart: Duan Zhixian said let me hold him, what is the matter with the three of you squeezing me aside? So he screamed with Cui San'er. Huang Qiaoyun saw that these three guys were pushing me, I was hitting you, and then it was time to do it, so he hurriedly reported to Yang Tong. Yang Tong looked back and was immediately angry: "I said, what are you guys doing?" ”
Chen Jie took the first step and sued Cui San'er. Just happened to be heard by Duan Zhixian, he quickly turned around and scolded with a smile: "You three rabbit cubs are not worry-free masters!" From today onwards, you all follow me! Chen Jie, you are one year older than Shi Liancheng and Cui San'er, and you will take care of each other in the future. If anyone dares to talk about it again, I have his good looks! This incident made Duan Zhixian's big heads laugh: "Thirteen or fourteen years old, it's really good!" The head of the regiment is really good eyesight, and he picked out such three living treasures as soon as he made a move! ”
Everyone came to the three rocks while laughing, and sure enough, they saw four people sitting on the side of the road, and four horses tied to the big tree next to them. When he came to the front, Bai Shujie came out of the crowd, and Zhao Jinxi and Gan Tong took two steps back from left to right. Bai Shujie clenched his fists with both hands: "Dare to ask where your friend is in person?" A bearded, red-faced strong man stood up first, clenched his fists, and said, "It's good to be in Xiazhen Mountain, and lead the brothers to worship the mountain!" ”
"It turned out to be a big boss, and I have admired the name for a long time!" Duan Zhixian smiled and said, "We are not handsome, but we are just taking this place to fight with the Khitans for the time being." Now that the battle is over, we will soon leave your land, and please don't mind, the big boss. "The Great Song hoe and traitor team, the first battle of Yingzhou, and then the Khitan people, the majestic mountains and rivers, famous! We've been thundering for a long time! The bearded man said with a smile: "You fought with the Khitans yesterday, and we are late." But I just saw your ministry win a big victory! That's really better to be famous than to meet, and it's better to meet than to be famous! ”
"The reputation of the big boss is excessive!" Duan Zhixian waved his hand and said, "Our brothers all escaped death from the hands of the Khitans. In order to avenge his relatives and to vent his anger to the common people of the Great Song Dynasty, he organized himself to play with the Khitans, and he didn't care about his reputation. Why did the big boss come? If you have something to say, please speak in person! "The good bandits in Zhenshan are in Daqingling, which is forty miles away from here, and they have never harmed the people. Because our brothers were cornered, we got together to make a dreadlock. The bearded man shook his head and said, "Now there are more than 1,200 brothers under my command, and they can't be thieves for the rest of their lives. That's why I'm here today. ”
"We welcome the true Khitans and the heroes and heroes who eliminate traitors." Duan Zhixian considered the words and said: "But, after all, we are not bandits, but an army that belongs to the common people!" Therefore, our military regulations and military discipline are quite strict, and the brothers of the general silk can't stand it. Cui San'er, take one and give it to the big boss! When Cui San'er heard the sound, he took out a blank piece of paper from his satchel, and then came to the bearded man and raised his hand to salute, and then handed over the military regulations and military discipline with both hands. Then he turned back on the spot and trotted back to stand behind Duan Zhixian. The bearded man and the three brothers behind him nodded when they saw Cui San'er's series of movements.
"After reading your ministry's "Eight Military Regulations and Seven Killings", it is enough to shock the Quartet! Brother admire! The bearded man quickly skimmed through it, and then said regretfully, "My brother, there is nothing else bad about it." There are indeed many people who gamble for money and visit kilns. When you open your mouth, you scold, and you can't change the problem of hitting with your hands. "Haha, as long as the big boss really wants to transform, there is nothing that can't be done. The so-called military orders are like mountains, set an example, and strictly enforce the law. Duan Zhixian laughed and said: "Since ancient times, the art of war has not been much. The indiscriminate guys have to be cleared, and they can't spoil a basket of vegetables with a rotten fish. ”
"It is a great feeling to be able to listen to the teachings in person today! If there are brothers who sincerely take refuge, please ask your ministry to contain them! The bearded man clasped his hands into fists and roared: "The green mountains do not change, and the green water flows forever!" There will be a period later! "Have a good trip!" Duan Zhixian clenched his hands into fists, and then led everyone back to the camp. Yang Tong asked softly: "Commander, Zhenshan has been a good cabinet for many years, and the grain and grass in the cottage are sufficient. Others come to vote on purpose, why don't you? ”
"I just said to the master: How many soldiers are noble?" Duan Zhixian shook his head and said, "You also heard, the guys there eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, do I dare to ask for it?" We are an army, not bandits. Good military style and discipline are difficult to cultivate, and bad problems can be learned as soon as they are learned, and they can't be changed if they want to! ”
It is said that although the battle of Dagou has passed, because the Renyi bandits, as bystanders, witnessed the scene of more than 100 Khitan people being chased by more than 30 people from the Great Song Dynasty hoe and rape team. The green forest spread in an instant, and then it became a household name throughout the South Manchurian region. The Great Song hoe rape team is in the limelight, and there is no difference for a while. Even the appearance of the Khitan also posted a notice: "There are bandits and hoe traitors, arrogance is rampant." Attack the police and grab the gun, do everything. The banditry situation in Youzhou is serious, and the 100 households in the Liao State are injured. ”
The Youzhou Metropolitan Investigation Court reported to the imperial court in Youzhou and said: "Because the battle of the hundred households is unfavorable, they have caused a direct economic loss of 280,000 taels of gold, which is equivalent to 980 taels of silver in the ocean. At the same time, 560,000 taels of cash were lost, resulting in a shortage of working capital for the entire iron mine, and mining production was at a standstill. After the remnants of the Xintun Hundred Households returned to the camp after the defeat, the squadron leader Ye Yu and Hikari almost fainted to the ground. He could only send the last letter to Xi Benpu, the 3,000-man team of the 2nd Youzhou Creek Army, and then committed suicide.
This set of serial tactics of the Great Song hoe and traitor team caused a major earthquake to the upper echelons of the entire Khitan army. There are more than 20 military commanders at all levels who have been replaced before and after! In the afternoon of the same day, the first batch of 5,000 catties of grain, 1,000 catties of pork, 500 catties of vermicelli, and 200 catties of salt were sent to the temporary station, alleviating Duan Zhixian's difficult situation of food shortage.
On the one hand, this is because Lu Ming and Chen Jinfang use cash and silver, and they do not bargain, and they are generous. On the other hand, when I heard that it was being transported in the direction of Dagou, the other party immediately greeted him with a smile, and his face was full of "I know who you are and how much you want". Now this is also the most important stronghold of Tianjing New City to prevent the Khitans from going south, Yang Peng spent a lot of money here, the big ditch built a defensive point, according to Yang Peng, that is, the war can not be fought within the scope of Tianjing New City, which will bring harm to the unarmed people, and the war must be fought in the enemy's territory, and there is a regiment stationed here to guard Duan Zhixian.
Duan Zhixian saw that Lu Ming had this way, and Duan Zhixian immediately issued an order to ask the guard platoon to take out all the cash and use it all to buy food. Regardless of the quantity, the more the merrier, the faster the merrier! Because of the role played by the good green forest arrows in Zhenshan in the early stage, no bandit dared to move the grain in the direction of Dagou. On the morning of the fourth day when Lu Ming went out to buy food, the sentries came to report that more than 300 people came near the three stones, saying that they had come to bring reinforcements to save their big boss Zhenshanhao. Cui San'er was ordered to inquire, and only then did he figure out the ins and outs of the matter.
According to the visitor, since Zhenshan Hao watched "Eight Military Regulations and Seven Killing Orders", he wanted to reform his bandits more and more. His starting point is very simple, the so-called goose has left a voice, and people have left a name. Even if you pull a bandit, you should leave a good reputation, otherwise you will be poked in the back by future generations. After returning to the cottage that day, he convened a meeting of the four beams and eight pillars overnight to discuss the transformation of the bandits. This time, Zhenshan is determined to completely rectify. And especially explained, those who are unwilling to do it, can divide the gold and silver and leave.
The second master and the third master did not speak in the hall, but after coming down, the two began to conspire in private, and then attracted more than 300 people to surround the three mountain good and the fourth master. At present, only these 300 people escaped according to Sanshanhao's orders, originally let them defect to the Great Song hoe team, but they wanted to rescue the big boss. After getting the news, Duan Zhixian immediately convened a meeting of the squad and platoon leaders, and everyone agreed that they should be rescued. Whether it is from the righteousness of the rivers and lakes or from our own future development, we cannot see death without help.
Duan Zhixian saw that everyone had the same idea as himself, and immediately issued an order: "The guard company strengthens 4 machine crossbows to stay in the camp, and Yang Tong is in charge of commanding." I led the combat battalion and the machine crossbow squad to the rescue, and the combat camp reinforced 6 machine crossbows. 10 minutes to prepare, then go! Battalion commander Huang Dong assisted the deputy battalion commander to stay at the station. "It is said that on the grass next to the road with three stones, there are more than 300 good minions in Zhenshan, and since Cui San'er left, he has been uneasy in his heart. However, they didn't have to wait long before a team of 100 people appeared in front of them. The formation suddenly startled them: there were 14 machine crossbows for a hundred or so people!
Duan Zhixian looked at these more than 300 people, all of whom were twenty years old. However, the equipment is not worth seeing, at most it is an old-fashioned bow and arrow, and most of them are hand crossbows. However, not to mention that kind of lazy energy, these people always give people an uncomfortable feeling. So he frowned slightly and asked, "Which of you is the leader?" Come out and speak! "That's me!" In the crowd, a guy with oily hair and a pink face and a purple robe looked to be twenty-four or five years old. He looks passable, but his eyes are blue, his lips are thin, his eyes are wandering, and he has a crossbow on his body.
If you want to know what happens next, let's see the next breakdown.
