Chapter 12 God Zhuge Bless!
In the north gate of Guiyu Capital, Zhu Hesheng, who was observing the enemy through a window, saw the Qing soldiers outside the city posing a "nine to ten chain" formation of 80 people, and his strong heart was lifted up again.
Because he found that the Qing army outside the city not only equipped with a large number of muskets, but also used them in a very orderly manner. Instead of rushing up to disrupt the guns, he arranged about eighty bird gunmen out of ten rows and advanced neatly.
Beside these eighty bird gun soldiers, there were eighty flag soldiers and infantry soldiers with helmets and armor. Everyone carried bows and arrows, carrying a large blade with a very long knife handle, and walked neatly.
With this neatly arranged formation, this slow and unhurried pace, it may be possible to catch up with the European-style infantry formation of the same era? Later generations, the Eight Banners Shangyong, who were beaten by Master Hong and God Yang, could not be compared with them.
This is just the "Green Flag Han Army" at the bottom of the Eight Banners System of the Qing Dynasty - according to Zhu Hesheng's memories of the Xushun Gong Mansion obtained from the original Zhu Qipao's mind, these guys wearing green flags, wearing ugly blue-gray cloth armor, and carrying a "lightning rod" helmet are between the Eight Banners soldiers and the Green Camp soldiers, and belong to the vassal army in the flag army. The flag army of the Xushun Gong Mansion is also the bottom of the Han flag army system of the three kings, two dukes and one princess (Kong Sizhen).
But it is the bottom of this kind of flag army...it looks quite powerful!
I don’t know if the “secret empty city strategy” handed down by Zhuge Liang can destroy them?
Just as Zhu Hesheng thought of this, a "bang bang" sound of gongs suddenly came from outside. Before the gongs could stop, the military advisor Zhuge, who had a feather fan and a luster, suddenly stood up, turned around and pushed the door into the city tower, and even wanted the guzheng that came from somewhere. He led two boys borrowed from the old Yu family to run away.
Zhu Hesheng didn't understand when it happened, but he grabbed the sleeve of the military advisor Zhuge's wide robe. He heard a slap and actually tore off half of it, revealing his arm that had a chain mail in it!
When the military advisor Zhuge saw his clothes being torn, he said with pain: "Bao Zhu, be gentle... I just have a Taoist robe (not a Taoist robe, but a Confucian robe)!"
Zhu Hesheng had no intention of ripping Taoist robe with him, but hurriedly asked: "Military advisor, why did you run away... Your empty city plan is no longer used?"
Yes, how could "Zhuge Liang" run away while using the empty city plan? This is something that Sima Yi wants to see. Can the empty city plan still be used?
"Give me!" Military Advisor Zhuge glared, "Didn't you hear the sound of the gong? The Qingdog Bird Spears soldier was a nine-for-ten-band array, and the gold stopped. It was time to shoot a bird gun next! Although this military advisor had a clever idea, he had not yet cultivated the indestructible body of Vajra, and was afraid of a bird gun!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of gunfire outside!
The military advisor Zhuge and Zhu Hesheng were so scared that they both shrunk their necks, but there were only eight bird guns that had just been fired, and the distance was relatively far, so they were not accurate. No one shot of military advisor Zhuge and Zhu Hesheng who had already retreated into the city gate tower, and all the bullets hit the city walls and the battlements. Because the walls of Guiyu Capital had just been wrapped in bricks a few years ago, and they were very hard, and the bullets hit them and splashed a lot of sparks.
Zhu Hesheng turned his eyes to the flag army formation outside, and found that the Qing army's bird gun soldiers who had fired a shot were all lowering their heads to fill in ammunition. A row of bird gun soldiers behind them passed by them and became the first row, and then raised their bird guns together!
At the same time, the archers placed beside the group of bird gunmen also began to slap the bow and hit the arrow - this is about to throw the archery rain!
Compared with those bird gun soldiers who can only fire eight bird guns at the same time, these archers who fired feather arrows are much more powerful!
After all, most of the more than 100 people brought by the Zhu family and the two or three hundred strong men from Mr. Yu’s family did not have armor protection, and could only rely on a rattan card to save their lives under the arrowhead.
However, Zhu Hesheng and Zhuge Military Advisor both had life-saving chain mail, and they were now tied to them.
"Avoid arrows!"
Seeing the Qing soldiers starting to shoot arrows, Zhu Hesheng hurried to the window near the inner side of the city gate tower, poked his head out and shouted loudly.
Of course there are ambushers inside the city gate!
According to the military advisor Zhuge, the "old army" was also buried in the city gate of Xicheng. What is the "old army"? It is the veteran who followed the first lord Liu Bei to fight in the east and west for the rest of his life! Although he is older, he is skilled in martial arts and is particularly good at using firearms!
Zhuge Liang not only buried the veteran, but also buried landmines!
As long as Sima Yi dares to rush in, it will be mines or guns... basically dead!
This time, Zhuge Sanhe also arranged the secret recipes handed down by his ancestors. There were no "old army", but there were many muskets and mines, all of which were prepared for Deng Guangming.
Deng Guangming dispatched troops outside the capital of Guiyu to build equipment (ladders and shield chariots), and worked for three days. Military advisor Zhuge and Zhu Hesheng were not idle either. They were busy arranging the ambush part of the "secret empty city plan" in the city.
First, a small piece of houses within the city gate was cleared out and a semicircular area was cleared.
Then build fortifications on the edge of the semicircular shape - that is, fill the soil with straw bags to build a low wall, and then use door panels to build an arrow fortification on the low wall.
In the end, of course, it was the landmines "burying"!
The so-called landmines are those copper-skinned chamber pots filled with sweet gunpowder. The largest one is now placed in a half buried in the soil, filled with hay and sprinkled with gunpowder.
In order to prevent the rockets launched by the Qing army from igniting the sweet gunpowder chamber pot, Zhu Hesheng also made a wooden lid with only copper-skinned to prevent arrows and fire.
The lid is also tied with a very thick hemp rope, and the other end of the rope is held in the hands of Zhu Tianwang Zhu Jushan.
Just when the Qing army rushed in, King Zhu would pull off the lid, and Zhu Hesheng would pull off the lid with two generals under King Zhu, Su Yong, known as "Brave Su", and Zhao Zhongyi, known as "Zhongyi Zhao", would set up rockets together, wanting to use the rockets to light mines!
In addition, the military advisor Zhuge also laid soldiers on the city wall. The number was small, with only thirty or forty people in total, but they were all musketeers, half of whom were under King Zhu and half of them were from the Old Yu family.
Some musketeers are equipped with not lightweight bird guns, but heavy muskets called turtledove-legged guns!
The projectile fired by this heavy musket weighs one or two or eight cents! Because its weight is too large and the recoil is greater when it is launched, it usually fires on a bracket that looks a bit like a turtle dove's feet, so it is called a turtle dove's feet gun.
This turtledog-footed gun was spread to Guangdong and Fujian decades ago through Portugal and Spanish merchants. By the end of the Ming Dynasty, Foshan, Guangdong and Anping, Fujian (Zheng Zhilong's nest) could produce such muskets in large quantities. However, the Ming Dynasty was not the buyer of this turtledog-footed gun, so in Foshan, Anping produced turtledog-footed guns was sold to Zheng Zhilong's army, and was bought by the powerful pirates in Guangdong and Fujian.
Moreover, these muskets are very strong and can be used for a long time as long as they are properly maintained.
Therefore, the thirty or forty muskets arranged by Zhuge Military Advisor on the city wall are still very powerful!
Therefore, the secret empty city plan passed down by Zhuge Liang is still quite powerful, but whether the Qing soldiers outside the city can be destroyed depends on luck!
Seeing that the ambush in the city had already shrank and avoided the arrows, Zhu Hesheng breathed a little. Then he began to chant "God Zhuge bless me" while preparing to shoot the rocket... But how should this arrow be shot?
Zhu Hesheng took a Kaiyuan bow that had been placed on the wall of the inner wall of the city gate tower, pulled out a feathered arrow covered with grease, glanced at the brazier that had been lit on the side, and began to try to find content related to archery from the inherited memories!
He clearly remembered that Zhu Qipao shot a good arrow, and he was hit every shot!
But now he really can't remember how this arrow should be shot?
I'm in a hurry!
Just as he was thinking hard about how to shoot arrows, the Qing soldiers outside the city's serial guns and feather arrows were also volleying.
It was really raining! Zhu Hesheng was leaning against the city gate tower, in a safe area where arrows could not be shot or guns could not be shot, but others were not so lucky. Especially those Dananshan righteous men and Yu family men hiding under the door panel... from time to time, someone screamed. It seemed that they had chosen a door panel with too thin material!
Fortunately, the Qing soldiers' arrow rain did not continue. After firing ten rounds, it stopped abruptly, so there were only endless roars of guns and screams and wailings on the battlefield.
Zhu Hesheng hurriedly looked at the box containing the mines... Fortunately, although there were many "white hairs" inserted around, those "white hairs" were not rockets, and it seemed that they did not shoot the thick and strong hemp rope.
At this moment, a rapid drum sounded suddenly, and then there was a shout of killing!
"Kill! Capture the Third Prince Zhu alive! Capture the Third Prince Zhu alive..."
The Qing soldiers' infantry armor has already launched a charge!
Zhu Hesheng is anxious!
He hadn't remembered how to shoot arrows yet?
Why can't I remember it?
The Qing soldiers' infantry armor did not give him time to think slowly. He shouted slogans and formed two rectangular stair formations, passing through the wide open city gate hole like a tide and rushed into the city.
"Living alone in the Eight Wildernesses in Danan Town, this mountain is opened by the Heavenly King..."
Zhu Hesheng heard his father recite poems again. This was not a poetic expression, but a reminder to Zhu Hesheng and others to set rockets!
Because Mr. Zhu is going to pull open the copper cover that is covered!
But Zhu Hesheng didn't remember how to shoot arrows!
He didn't remember it, but the brave Su and Zhongyi Zhao had already remembered it. Both of them rushed out of their hiding place, each of whom opened the Kaiyuan bow, and when they pulled it round, a rocket shot out... they didn't even hit it!
Seeing two rockets shooting on the wooden box, the other one simply hit the edge of the box, Zhu Hesheng's heart skipped a beat.
The Qing soldiers will soon rush to the box!
Thinking of this, Zhu Hesheng glanced at the brazier again and found two butter torches burning in the brazier!
So he stopped shooting arrows, threw the bow and arrow, picked up two torches in one hand, shouted "Bless Zhuge Liang," and then threw the torches one by one into the wooden box!
Chapter completed!
