"The one I am going to go to is the Nanhai Camp, a direct descendant of Marshal Jiang. According to the master's instructions, I have listened more, seen more, and made more friends in the Nanhai Camp. Over the past month, I have gained something!"
"They are fighting against the Tartars in Malanyu. Are you also participating in the siege?"
"My subordinates divided the brothers into two parts. One part followed the artillery team of the Nanhai Battalion. While learning their various methods of firing artillery, they were also learning their tactics. Because of Marshal Jiang's orders, their artillery team
The people have no secrets against our people, and once the guns are fired, they will definitely be fighting against the Tartars, and there is no way to hide their secrets!"
Lu Xiong said calmly: "Although our brothers can't say they are proficient in using the imitation Folang machine guns produced in Dongjiang Town, they can basically fire and hit accurately, but their hands and feet are a little slow, but these can be used
Practiced!"
"You didn't bring back a single cannon?" Lu Xiangsheng frowned: "Five hundred people went empty-handed and came back empty-handed?"
"I really can't bring this back!" Lu Xiong lowered his head in shame: "I've also heard the news about Dongjiang Town. In addition to using these imitation Folangji cannons for themselves, they also sell them to Koreans and Japanese people.
They were all three thousand taels of silver each, so I shamelessly asked for it, but they pretended not to hear, so I really can’t keep pestering them!"
"No wonder they are not short of money..." Lu Xiangsheng murmured to himself: "Where is the firecracker?"
"Fire guns are much simpler than cannons. Our ordinary brothers can now use fire guns proficiently. The same problem as cannons is that they are not skilled enough. Sir, if the fire guns in the warehouse are distributed now, my subordinates can use them immediately.
Get the master a team of muskets!"
"Of course I have to pull him out. Otherwise, why would I send you there?"
Lu Xiangsheng pondered for a moment: "Did they say how much a fire gun costs?"
"That's not the case. It seems that they themselves are short of firepower!" Lu Xiong thought for a while: "I seem to have heard that Wu Shenjun from the Nanhai Camp said that even the Nanhai Camp needs to add another thousand-man team of firepower.
Gun soldiers, there are eight battalions in Dongjiang Town, and the number of gun soldiers required is not a small number!"
"besides……"
"Anything else, don't hesitate, finish it in one breath!" Lu Xiangsheng was a little unhappy as he waited for his general.
"Their soldiers fired muskets and didn't care about the gunpowder or projectiles at all. I've seen them fight. Once they start shooting, they hit them all at once. Regardless of whether they can hit someone or not, the momentum is very terrifying.
people!"
"It seems like they call it...fire coverage or something. It's also a new word!"
"What's the difference between our powerful crossbow volleys?" Lu Xiangsheng shook his head: "It's just the same thing but a different song, there is no essential difference!"
"Sir, I think there are still some!" Lu Xiong swallowed: "Our crossbows are cheap, but the gunpowder and projectiles are expensive. Each of their musket soldiers is equipped with thirty rounds of projectiles with gunpowder. According to what they said
, if we finish this in one go, a month’s military pay will be gone!”
"One month's military pay?" Lu Xiangsheng was stunned: "How much is the military pay for the soldiers of Nanhai Camp?"
"The most common soldier's salary is two taels of silver, while the fire gun soldier's salary seems to be around three taels!" Lu Xiong said: "Our three-hundred-person fire gun team, if we follow their way of fighting, this volley will cost one thousand taels."
The money is gone!"
"...It's so heartbreaking!"
When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he was stunned for a long time, and then he slowly said: "For Dongjiang Town like this, it would be too much to ask the court for food and salary. Are they already so fat?"
"One artillery team, one firegun team!" Lu Xiangsheng settled the accounts: "There are only five hundred people like you, and I don't want to add one more person. With this spare money, I might as well add more strength to our Tianxiong Army.
Nu, I will not waste my fortune like Jiang Wan!"
"besides……"
"Let's put this matter aside first. Let's talk about the situation of the war. Jiang Wan sent nearly ten thousand people to Malanyu and Panjiakou. The confrontation lasted for more than a month, but there was no movement from the Tartars?"
"There really wasn't much movement!" Lu Xiong thought for a moment: "If you don't count the cannons and crossbows on the city top attacking the besieging troops, except when I just went there, I saw several attempts by the Tartars at night.
They stole the camp, and then they no longer even sent small groups of soldiers and horses outside the city to harass them!"
He showed a puzzled look: "It seems that as long as the people under the city don't attack the city, they are planning to stay like this. However, according to the observations of my subordinates, the Tartars have still made a lot of preparations and are ready to deal with the attack on Dongjiang Town at any time.
City!"
"However, until they all withdrew, there was not even a decent siege!" Lu Xiong exclaimed: "When did the Tartars have such a good temper!"
"It's not that their tempers have improved!" Lu Xiangsheng shook his head: "A few days ago, the scouts sent news that we have encountered several Tartar scouts within a hundred miles of Liaoyang!"
"The Tartars want to attack us in Liaoyang?" Lu Xiong was surprised.
"Isn't this an obvious thing?" Lu Xiangsheng snorted: "Won't they let us spend this winter well? Fortunately, I have not been idle since I took office. Even if the Tartars want to take Liaoyang, they will not
You have to have a good set of teeth, your master is smelly and hard, so I have to be prepared to have my teeth chipped!"
"I will let the artillery team and the gun team form an army as soon as possible!" Lu Xiong replied seriously.
"Don't worry, you are my special forces, just be useful at critical times!" Lu Xiangsheng shook his head: "An army of tens of thousands of people versus an army of tens of thousands of people, with a few hundred people filling in, it won't be of much use. I'm just curious, Dongjiang
The Tartars have endured all kinds of provocations, but how determined are they to take Liaoyang, and how many troops will they come this time?"
While the two were talking, a chase was going on less than fifty miles away from Liaoyang City.
A five-man scout team of the Ming army encountered a group of more than ten Tartar cavalry. Almost as soon as they met, three of the Ming army were shot down.
The remaining two people followed the standard scout formation, and immediately turned around and ran away more than a hundred steps behind the three people.
Their figures were immediately spotted by the Tartar cavalry in the distance. More than a dozen Tartars yelled strangely and rained arrows on the two of them, then chased after them.
"Into the woods, into the woods!"
A forest appeared not far ahead, and the older of the two Ming soldiers immediately shouted loudly.
At the same time, an arrow flew from behind and stabbed hard into his shoulder.
The Ming army dismounted and drew out their sabers. The Ming army in the distance wanted to turn around. The injured Ming army shouted loudly: "Leave me alone, go into the forest and tell the city that the Tartar brigade is coming.
These idiots use heavy arrows!"
The horse under the knight's crotch neighed and rushed into the forest without looking back. The injured knight raised his knife, looked back, and rushed towards the enemy coming towards him without hesitation...
