However, Yang Bi ran faster, and the Jin army pursued him more fiercely.
Originally, the purpose of Wang Mi and others was to test the deterrent effect of the pistol to see if it could achieve the expected effect.
Now it seems that the effect is quite good.
It was this shocking effect that made Wang Mi excited.
"Brothers, follow me!"
"Capture the General of Di Qin alive!"
Wang Mi held a pistol in his hand and drove his war horse, running wildly. Wang Mi was very proud of his ambition. The pony horse under his crotch really didn't lose its chain at the critical moment. His short legs kept moving one step at a time, and he ran so fast.
Like the wind.
Soon, Wang Mi, led by the pony, rushed out of the queue, ran to the front and became the leader!
"Zhiyuan!"
"Slow down!"
"Danger!"
Between Liu Yu and Wang Mi, there were two hundred people from the pistol team. By the time he settled his team and rushed forward, Xiao Wang could no longer be stopped.
He had no choice but to shout desperately and pursue with all his strength, while Wang Mi in front, supported by his double stirrups, let go of the reins with both hands.
So chic!
This feeling!
This is what he has always pursued, galloping among thousands of troops and horses on the vast grassland (although there is no grass around).
In Wang Mi's ears, Liu Yu's shouts gradually reached him. However, he ignored them completely. The target was right ahead, one shot at a time. How could he give up on such an enjoyable thing.
I simply can’t bear it!
After loading the gunpowder, Wang Mi raised the primer, clicked it lightly, and then pointed at his target.
He had already chosen that goal!
It was Yang Bi who was the only one in the battle formation wearing a full set of general armor and a red tassel on his head!
To capture the thief, capture the king first!
No one understands this truth better than Wang Mi.
At the critical moment, Wang Mi also moved the barrel of the pistol.
Who shot first?
Or shoot the horse first?
The horse's leg is a smaller target, but if you can hit it, you can witness with your own eyes the tragic scene of the horse's leg bending and Yang Bi falling under the horse!
Although he wasn't good at archery, he was good at shooting guns. In the Jin Dynasty, Wang Mi dared to be second, and no one dared to be first. He was so confident!
boom!
boom!
"this……"
"Why did this happen?"
There was a burst of smoke and dust, and the lead bullets flew out instantly, giving Wang Mi no time to hesitate.
Only then did someone remember that he was so proud just now that he had forgotten for a moment that although the name of the thing in his hand was a pistol, in the final analysis, it was just a blunderbuss.
As soon as the gunpowder is ignited, the lead bullet will immediately escape. Today's rudimentary handguns simply cannot aim and shoot at the same time as modern pistols.
Although Wang Mi had determined his target at first, when he lit the gunpowder and aimed at the target again, the target had already deviated!
ah!
A shout seemed to penetrate the air and reached Wang Mi's ears. It seemed to be quite clear.
Wang Mi was surprised by the wounded soldier's sonorous voice.
Yes!
When the target fell to the ground, he discovered that Yang Bi, who was wearing a red tassel on his head, was not injured at all and was still riding his horse.
The one who fell was actually a cavalryman beside him. He hit the wrong person!
Tsk tsk...
What a pity!
Wang Mi's regrets didn't stop there. Just when he fired a shot in a cool way and hit the wrong target, Liu Yu also chased after him and pulled him back without saying a word.
"This is too suspenseful!"
"Quickly, protect Mr. Wang, let's go back to the city!"
"Jinnu, how can we go back like this!"
"They are already stragglers. At this time, we should take advantage of the victory and pursue them!" Wang Mi insisted on his opinion, but Liu Yu refused to give in.
"Their army is just here to test. They are small in number and poorly prepared. The scale of Nanyang County ahead is much larger than that of Xinye County. There are at least 20,000 to 30,000 defenders inside."
"The troops we have now are not many. Even if we add the soldiers in Xinye City, it is far from enough. A hasty pursuit will only harm our army!"
"Don't chase the poor bandit!" Seeing that Wang Mi still refused to give up, Liu Yu pulled him again. Wang Mi rolled his eyes and saw that Yang Bi ran further away. He could no longer see the shadow. Had to give up.
"All right!"
"Go back to the city first. There are still many things to discuss with General Huan and the others."
You can't have your cake and eat it too. Thinking of the people in Xinye City who still knew nothing about the Pistol Team, Wang Mi could only look at the Qin army getting further and further away, and ran in the opposite direction...
…………
"Zhiyuan!"
"You are finally back!"
"Quick, take off your armor and have a good rest!"
Wang Mi followed his words and took off his armor. Zeng Jing, the young general who had followed him all the way to the Xinye battlefield, quickly took it over.
"No need to scrub. There's no blood on it. It's quite clean."
"Yes, I obey."
Zeng Jing left quickly. As a considerate subordinate, he should have scrubbed Wang Mi's armor again, but Zeng Jing did not do so.
First of all, this armor is indeed very clean. Apart from some dust, there is almost no blood stain, not even a blood spot.
Secondly, as a soldier, obeying orders is a bounden duty. According to Zeng Jing's understanding, there is no need to be too diligent in front of the general. He just does what the general says.
The only place where he can provide advice is on the battlefield. Apart from the battlefield, in daily life, around Wang Mi, there is no need to be too tactful.
"Zhiyuan, the team you brought is really amazing!"
"I saw that those soldiers were holding a weapon in their hands, probably made of iron. What kind of magical weapon is it?"
"As soon as that thing sounded, all the evil beasts of Di and Qin were scared away, and our army made countless gains!" Thinking of the hearty scene just now on the battlefield, Mr. Huan laughed so hard.
At this moment, Mr. Huan finally understood what it means to reverse against the wind.
Just before Wang Mi and others arrived, the situation of the Jingzhou soldiers could be said to be extremely urgent. They were unprepared. They tried to protect the Dongjiao Gate several times but were destroyed by the Di Qin soldiers, causing heavy casualties.
Later, in order to preserve his strength, Huan Chong had to continue to reduce the number of soldiers leaving the city. However, the consequence of this operation was that the Dongjiao Gate would gradually become undefeatable.
The arrows shot down from the tower had little effect on the Qin soldiers who were already close to the tower.
At this critical moment, one person stood up, and that was Wang Mi!
He led a team of two hundred pistols and three hundred archers, like a god descending!
Yes!
In the eyes of Huan Chong, Huan Yi and others at that time, Wang Mi's appearance was like a god descending to earth, born out of nowhere!
Guya
Without warning at all, Shinno Castle was saved like this!
Under the impact of the pistol team, the Di Qin army was soon defeated. At this time, the Jin army, which had been suppressed by force just now, became frightened again.
While the Qin soldiers were on their backs and in chaos, they picked up their weapons and killed hundreds of them!
Those Qin soldiers who ran slowly and panicked were caught by the Jin army and became prisoners.
"It's a pity that Yang Bi escaped." Wang Mi clenched his fist and knocked on the table.
Since returning to Xinye City, Wang Mi has been worried about the fact that he did not hit Yang Bi but let him run away.
What a great opportunity!
Why was it wasted like this?
"Zhiyuan, don't worry, that Yang Bi, including his cousin Yang Ding, can't escape, they will always come to you!"
Wang Mi frowned and said with a smile: "Yang Ding is also in Nanyang County?"
"sure?"
Huan Chong nodded: "Of course I am sure. If Yang Ding hadn't been stationed in Nanyang, Yang Bi would never have had the courage to test Xinye City with such a small force."
"Seeing that my brother has suffered a big loss, I dare to conclude that either Yang Ding will bring his troops and horses to come to us for revenge tomorrow. Or, we will fight over and capture his two brothers!"
Mr. Huan's optimistic character was fully displayed at this moment. Just an hour ago, he was a poor old man who was eager to retreat but had no choice.
But now, he can transform into a fierce general who advocates attack without any psychological burden.
Which one is the real Huan Chong?
Interesting, the old man is so interesting.
Wang Mi looked at Huan Chong with admiration and felt that it would be great if the old man was not the commander of the Jingzhou soldiers, but the commander of the Beifu soldiers.
In this way, he can often fight side by side with the old man and gain more jokes.
"Zhiyuan, can you give me one of those pistols to look at?"
After Huan Yi entered the door, the topic was brought back again. Just now he was standing on the tower watching the battle, and in the heavy smoke, he could identify the weapons at a glance.
It's not because he has good eyesight, it's just because he's close.
Is that long and thin thing with a big bulging belly in the middle the mysterious weapon that Wang Mi brought?
Not only did he see the weapon clearly, but he also saw the entire operation process. It could even be said that he understood the principle of firing a pistol.
So, when he saw what Wang Mi was wearing at his waist, he instantly became interested.
Isn't that dark object with a wooden handle the magical weapon?
"No problem at all."
Wang Mi took off the pistol, but did not hand it to Huan Yi immediately. Even if Huan Yi was not a rash person, this thing was still too dangerous.
After carefully explaining the various structures of the pistol and reminding him of the dangers, he handed the pistol to Huan Yi.
"In other words, with this weapon, Di Qin's thick armor is just a pile of scrap metal, right?" Huan Yi fiddled with the pistol in his hands, making various postures, aiming and firing.
It’s really hard to put it down after disassembling it.
As expected of an expert, he could see the advantages of the pistol at a glance.
"really!"
"The advantage of a pistol is that it can easily pierce the enemy's armor, thus easily causing fatal injuries to the enemy."
"Except for this, when this thing is released, a burst of fireworks will rise. It looks very scary. I watched all the evil animals being scared away!"
"Zhiyuan, how many such good weapons can you make?"
"Can you make a batch of Jingzhou soldiers for me?"
Mr. Huan is very wealthy. For such an expensive weapon like a pistol, others only get ten or twenty of them.
When you arrive at Mr. Huan’s place, you will get a batch as soon as you make a move!
Of course, Mr. Huan is indeed rich, and it would be better if he could sponsor some. However, their position has not yet been decided, so they may not have time to build guns.
"Of course there is no problem in making guns, but I think we should first determine the next goal before thinking about anything else."
"To be honest with you, making guns is not as good as making swords. It takes a long time to make a qualified pistol."
"We always have to stay in one place for at least half a month before we can talk about building a new gun."
"It actually takes so long!" Huan Chong stroked his long beard, his disappointment evident in his words.
"If General Huan doesn't mind, could you first tell me something about the recent situation in Jiangbei?"
"This will also make it easier for Zhiyuan to help make suggestions."
"Zhiyuan is absolutely right." Seeing that Huan Chong was dissatisfied and pouting, Huan Yi quickly came out to smooth things over and said with a smile: "Speaking of the situation here, it is full of twists and turns, quite a legend!"
It's better to arrive early than to arrive in time, which is what Wang Mi and his group are talking about.
If they had rushed here yesterday, they would not have been able to receive the latest situation in Chang'an City, but now, the time is just right.
Although Huan Yi's words and the words of the messenger contain a lot of self-guessing, they cannot be regarded as ten times ten times true.
However, Wang Mi was still shocked by the chaos in Chang'an City at this time.
This is……
Did the Battle of Feishui break out in advance?
There's something wrong with the script!
Although, since Wang Mi participated in the Battle of Xiangyang, the entire historical trend has shifted greatly, but until arriving at Xinye City, Wang Mi still had great confidence in Fu Jian's dispatch of troops to Jiangzuo.
Although the Battle of Xiangyang greatly damaged Di Qin's strength, it was not so bad that it damaged his muscles and bones. According to Fu Jian's headstrong character in history, if he was humiliated like this, he would definitely roar like a lion and fight towards him.
Jiangbei rushed over.
Why would Wang Mi go to all the trouble to lead a poorly trained pistol team all the way to Xinye to help prevent this?
Unexpectedly, when they arrived in Xinye, they discovered that Jin's city was safe and sound, but Chang'an City, which was under the strict control of Di Qin and had developed fairly well, was in chaos first.
Moreover, this chaos is not just an ordinary little chaos, but a complete chaos.
A fortress is always the first to be breached from within, and the collapse of Di Qin once again proved this.
"Zhiyuan, now it seems that you made a wise move by letting Murong Chui go from Xiangyang."
"Letting Murong Chui go would actually trigger civil strife in Di Qin. In this way, Fu Jian would definitely not have the energy to provoke the Jin army again."
Huan Yi was so excited that he suddenly remembered that it was Wang Mi who insisted on letting Murong Chui live. In fact, there were many opposing voices within the Jingzhou soldiers and the Beifu soldiers at that time.
Over the years, the Jin army has been trampled upon and despised by various foreign races, which is really too much.
It's rare to win a complete victory, so of course I want to kill all these foreign generals!
This is not because the Jin army was cruel. Judging from the current confrontation between the north and the south, in fact, the two courts treated each other's surrendered generals very well.
They are often reused and will not be killed.
However, a brave and famous general like Murong Chui did not receive such good treatment. Although the Jin Dynasty wanted to keep him, it was also clear that the weak and small court of the Jin Dynasty could not tolerate this giant Buddha.
The main reason is that the generals here have average combat effectiveness, let alone strategy. Strictly speaking, Murong Chui's choice was right from the beginning.
After the collapse of Yan State, the only one qualified to take him in was Di Qin.
Fu Jian, the leader of Qin, was not inferior to him in terms of military exploits, and he was very open and comprehensive in terms of strategy, which was enough to compete with Murong Chui.
It's a pity that even Di Qin like this can't let Murong Chui lose his will. He must restore the country, even Fu Jian can't do it. Do you still expect Sima Yao, who has never been on the battlefield, to conquer Murong Chui?
Could it be that you are dreaming?
Since it cannot be used, of course it must be removed.
However, killing Murong Chui would benefit Fu Jian. Although Fu Jian kept saying that he admired Murong Chui and wanted to be his brother for life, in fact, if Murong Chui really died in the battle, he would not
shed a tear.
After all, they are not from my race.
Now it seems that Wang Mi's choice was not wrong. Letting Murong Chui go had a much greater effect than other measures.
