Chapter 88: The Place of the Head
More than a dozen lead bullets hit Uda's body at the same time. Before his body hit the ground, he was already dead. A bayonet came from behind the side car. Reach out and insert it into his ragged chest, pushing him away from the side car.
The man in black who had just emerged from the back of the side car had no time to hide his body again, and an arrow was inserted into his forehead.
He was quickly dragged away, and another tall soldier with a spear attached quickly replaced him.
Seeing that his subordinates were damaged, Gao Jiian sighed. He originally wanted to equip himself with armor, but this was rejected by Yun Zhao. Yun Zhao thought that as long as his firepower was strong enough, he would no longer Armor, a bulky protective gear that hinders movement, is needed.
There are sacrifices involved in doing this.
I thought that these slaves without war horses had become toothless tigers. Unexpectedly, these people seemed to be more familiar with infantry combat, and they were all leaping like flying and it was difficult to aim.
Yunjuan simply ordered people to use shotguns...
From the beginning to the end, Gao Jie did not allow his men to leave the side car to fight with Jiannu.
After all, this is an experimental battle.
With shotguns flying, a massacre is inevitable.
Doral was lying on the ground. There was a big bloody hole in his thigh. This was the damage caused by the shotgun pellets. He yelled, pulled the bow with all his strength and shot an arrow.
This was a loud arrow, and the arrow made a shrill scream in the air. The cavalry who had already started charging for the second time heard the sound of the loud arrow and decisively gave up the attack and fled.
Gao Jie only glanced at the Jiannu who left halfway and said to Yunjuan: "Clean the battlefield!"
Yunjuan looked at less than three hundred people who had fled. The Jiannu cavalry didn't say anything. They abandoned their horses at the beginning of the battle, so it was the responsibility of others to intercept and pursue these people.
Now, the top priority is to immediately assess this battle, which is the purpose of this operation.
When facing a dense formation, muskets are very effective as long as they are used intensively. Facing cavalry who are staggered and in a skirmish shape, they have little effect. The main problem lies in the muskets. The accuracy is too poor.
Gunners like Yunfu cannot be cultivated in large quantities. This has been determined as early as Phoenix Mountain.
Using a blunderbuss to shoot down birds in the sky requires not only experience, but also character to support it. For a sharpshooter like Yun Fu, there is no doubt that he is a person with solid and reliable character.
Today, it was artillery that caused the greatest damage to the Jiannu.
The primary explosive shells manufactured by Yun still have big problems. The main shortcoming is that the fragments after the shell explode are too few and too sparse.
Not only that, the fragments have too little lethality.
Just like the captured Doral, his body was hit by a total of eleven fragments, but these fragments did not cause him any fatal injuries.Most of the fragments lost their strength after penetrating the leather armor, half of them were embedded in the flesh, and the other half was exposed outside the flesh.
"My name is Doral, Hailancha!"
This is the only sentence Doral said from the time he was captured until he was executed.
The sound of explosions came from all directions in the Chile River. Doral did not care about the pain on his body. He only hoped that his subordinates could break through the encirclement and tell Shuorui what happened here. Prince.
"They can't escape. Even if they escape from this encirclement, there will be a bigger encirclement with more people behind them."
Yunjuan interrupted Duo with vicious words. Lal's hope.
"So all the Ming people in Guihua City were sent by the Ming Dynasty, right?"
Yunjuan smiled and said: "Without our support, you think they are from Zhangjiakou." How can those few rotten garlics summon such a large number of farmers?"
Dolar sighed and said: "My banner master said that the heart of a wise man can only be slaughtered, but not gentle or afraid of power. Only then can you be virtuous.
Your Majesty was deceived by Bao Chengxian."
Yunjuan said, "Are you actually a slave of Zhengbaiqi?"
Dolar Ti. He started to say: "When the flag master's army arrives, it's time for you to rush forward again. A mere victory is insignificant."
Yunjuan said to Gao Jie: "This is still a Jiannu who has read books, very "It's so rare, do you want to send it to Lantian County?"
Gao Jie raised his hand and cut off Doral's head with one hand, grabbed the braid with one hand, drained the blood and threw it to the soldiers who were waiting to collect the head. , said to Yunjuan: "Why are you talking so much nonsense to him? We don't need their heads. They are very important to Lu Xiangsheng.
He has promised to take care of this matter for us and build the Give him the slave's head so that he can exchange it with the emperor for some money."
Yunjuan said: "Azhao said that he would leave some living slaves for him, and Yushan Academy has a lot of them. Demand."
Gao Jie said: "If you like, come here and catch them. From now on, there will be a shortage of everything here, except for slaves.
Hurry up and clean up the battlefield. It has been two days since the entire army was dispatched. It would be wise to return to the camp as soon as possible."
Yunjuan said: "How much have we lost in battle?"
Gao Jie sighed: " In a battle where we had an absolute advantage, we still killed six people and wounded more than thirty people.
Five of them were killed while chasing Jiannu deserters." p>
Yunjuan looked at the headless corpses everywhere and shook his head helplessly. He also thought so. In order to annihilate these more than a thousand slaves, Guihua City was mobilized.
Not only their entire army was mobilized, but also the more than 200 old thieves from Lantian County in Qian Shaoshao's hands were mobilized, not to mention the most loyal refugees around Guihua City.
More than 30,000 people were mobilized, just to create slaves for this mere 1,000 people. Although it was suspected of being a scumbag, there were still extremely unpleasant things on our side.Quick battle losses.
Qian Shaoshao also got the battle report. After reading it, he sighed and said to Xue Guocai: "The all-firearms army is not as powerful as we expected."
Xue Guocai said: " That's because our firearms are not powerful enough. When we create a more suitable barrel and a more powerful weapon, the grand occasion of all firearms mentioned by the county will definitely come true."
Qian Shaoshao is a little worried. Waving his hands, he said: "Our current situation is not good. Lantian County is about to enter a dormant period, and there will be an uprising in Guihua City soon.
Once an uprising occurs, we are likely to become the target of public criticism, not only Facing the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, I am afraid they will also have to face the Ming Dynasty.
After all, until now, the Ming Dynasty still believes that Guihua City is the control place of the Ming Dynasty.
Whether it is the Ming Dynasty or the Manchu Dynasty. Qing, I guess they won’t allow a new force to emerge in Guihua City.
Let’s go and send the twenty-three heads here to Gao Jie, and hope that Lu Xiangsheng will have good luck.”
In the evening, the Chile River, which had been raging with war during the day, finally calmed down. Fan San quietly poked his head out of the marmot cave and looked around vigilantly.
When Doral led the cavalry to charge, the cunning Fan San dove into the marmot hole that he had been optimistic about for a long time. He did not want to be bombarded with cannons.
As he slowly crawled out along the barley, he would encounter headless corpses from time to time, which made him feel frightened. The howls of wild wolves could be heard in the distance. A large group of plump vultures were squatting on the tree trunks above their heads.
These guys are just waiting for him to leave. As long as he leaves, this will be the place where people gather for dinner.
Fan San really wanted to find an alive Jiannu, but as long as he found one, he would make great achievements when he went back. If such a person goes back alone, his life is probably not guaranteed.
Unfortunately, he crawled in the barley for a long time, but he could not find a slave with a head. He finally found a few corpses with heads. After looking carefully, he realized that they were the same ones as him. A companion from Zhangjiakou.
"There is no one alive..."
Fan San said to himself as his upper teeth touched his lower teeth.
When the sun completely set, he took advantage of the last ray of skylight and hurried towards the hilly land.
Fan San had no intention of returning to Zhangjiakou... More than a thousand slaves were all killed, but he, the leader, came back unscathed. This in itself is a huge weird thing.
Don’t say that Fan Xiaoshan won’t believe it, nor will the mysterious guest at home. No matter which one of these two people, killing him Fan San is no harder than squeezing an ant to death.
On the way, he carefully avoided the beasts that smelled the smell of blood and came to the feast. Fan San, who ran all night under the moonlight, finally vaguely saw some roads that had been trodden by people.
This guy sat down on the ground, looked around with his eyes, and after identifying the east, west, north, and south, he endured his hunger and thirst and prepared to find a homeless family to get some food before reasoning.
