Zhou Yuji knew that he had nothing to do with Uncle Dingyuan now.
From now on, he no longer has to worry about Uncle Dingyuan's good things.
He had no reason to ask for it.
For a moment, I was filled with jealousy towards Huang Hao and others who were involved in the group training.
"Send the order, raise the steel plates immediately, and restore the city wall. Every household of Rumi Gun is ready for battle."
Zhou Yuji took out the stainless steel thermos cup he was given when he was a Qianhu at the Hexi Guard Qianhu Station. He unscrewed the lid and took a sip of water. The water was red, made from boiled water soaked with wolfberry and rock sugar.
Because Yang Fan often joked that the officers always complained that the training was too hard, and when they returned home tired, they no longer had the energy to have sex with their wives. They were complained when they returned home. This problem must be solved.
So all military officers with more than 100 households were issued stainless steel thermos cups, allowing them to enjoy the treatment of soaking wolfberry in the thermos cup. This cup is made of steel and is not afraid of falling. The boiling water introduced today will still be warm the next day. It is simply
It's a treasure that everyone is very rare to see.
Especially adding cold well water in the summer and boiling water in the winter. The comfort is simply beautiful. My wife was considerate and filled it with boiling chicken soup. It will still be hot when you drink it at night.
Wang Kun watched the two men take out stainless steel water cups to drink water, and was immediately envious. He had naturally seen this thing when he was around Chongzhen. He knew that although this thing was made of steel and polished like a mirror, it could
Keep hot water warm. I don’t know how it works.
He bought expensive hot water kettles in the palace and at his house in the inner city. He was no stranger to thermos flasks and thermos cups. There were also many thermos flasks and thermos cups in the palace. However, they were made of expensive colored glass and were very easy to break.
broken.
He had only seen this kind of stainless steel from His Majesty. Your Majesty has a set of stainless steel thermos cups painted with the twelve zodiac signs. Wang Chengen also has a pure silver one. I heard it was a gift from Uncle Dingyuan. No one else has such a thing.
At this time, he saw Zhou Yuji and Yang Fan's servant Huang Hao, and he understood immediately. The reason why this thing is made of steel is because it is not easy to break when marching and fighting. This thing is military supplies.
He glanced at it jealously for a few times, smelled the aroma of wolfberry, red dates, rock sugar and hot tea floating over, and swallowed. He knew that this thing was not easy to handle.
"If father-in-law likes this cup, I will make one for him later." Huang Hao said after seeing Wang Kun's expression.
Wang Kun immediately raised his hands and said, "Then why are you so embarrassed? Only His Majesty and the princes have them in the palace. If our family gets one for ourselves, wouldn't it be overstepping our bounds?"
But there was clearly an expression of longing on his face.
"Your Majesty, you don't know. This thing is not an expensive item. It's just military supplies. It's quite special. Your Majesty and your Majesty only use it because they share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers and want to experience the sufferings of the soldiers. It's not because of how precious it is.
.I will ask the logistics to send one to you later." Huang Hao said with a smile.
Wang Kun smiled coquettishly and said, "Then our family will be ashamed of themselves. Hehe."
"General Huang, do you think we have a good chance of winning today's battle?" Wang Kun asked anxiously.
The rebels roared like a tsunami, attacking from all sides, which frightened Wang Kun. If he couldn't resist, he was afraid that he would be surrendered to Tongzhou City today.
"Looking at it now, we should at least be able to hold on. As for the outcome, it cannot be decided today. It depends on tomorrow." Huang Hao said thoughtfully.
They are all experienced in fighting, and you can see that they are similar after a while.
Zhou Yuji turned to the messenger and said: "After firing another round of solid bullets, change to shotguns. Let the gunner Rumi prepare for battle."
The calm attitude of Zhou Yuji and Huang Hao gave Wang Kun a lot of comfort. Seeing the two men taking care of themselves and taking care of themselves, his fearful heart gradually calmed down. At this time, when he looked at Zhou Yuji, he was no longer as disgusted as he was at first.
On the contrary, I feel like Zhou Yuji is a backer.
Although the rebels were stunned by the second round of shelling, they quickly accepted the reality. They were all veterans of hundreds of battles. Naturally, they knew that there was no way to retreat, and they could not hesitate at all. They had to rush forward even if they had to bite the bullet.
Go up. Otherwise, if you turn around and run, you will be bombarded from behind.
When they reached 180 meters, the third round of shelling began.
For a moment, the earth shook again. The ground beneath our feet seemed to be shaking.
The blazing shells hit again. Another crowd of people fell on their backs. There was another burst of frightened howls. There were left broken limbs and broken arms on the ground, and the wounded were tumbling and wailing.
A blue firework flew up and exploded high in the sky, filling the air with a blue smoke.
Gao Changlin retracted his neck from the remaining observation hole on the roof of the car and said: "Reload, reload. Load the shotgun. Quick."
The second gunner immediately climbed to the other side, used a crowbar to pry open the box, and took out the customized package of shotshells.
The third gunner put the propellant package into the muzzle, and the second gunner stuffed the heavy shotshell package into it. The fourth gunner used a tamping stick to poke it to the bottom of the barrel, compress it, and pound it firmly.
Several people immediately began to use pulleys and ropes to control the up, down, left, and right direction of the muzzle. They calmly aimed at the rebels who were coming up the road like a tide.
At this time, the ticking bugle sounded. They were not affected. They knew that this was the bugle of the Rumi gun soldiers, not to command them.
Gao Changlin said: "The rebels rushed up immediately. This is the call of Rumi's gun to prepare for battle. After firing this shot, immediately close the gun window, pick up the gun and weapons and prepare for hand-to-hand combat."
At this time, in the trench about ten meters behind the barbed wire, the Rumi gunners were nervously loading ammunition. This was their first time on the battlefield. It was their first time facing a surging enemy. Although they had been trained
Many times. Even drills have been done several times. However, they are generally still very nervous.
The arquebuses had to be erect and loaded from the muzzle. They had to stand. Without this trench, they would have been exposed to the range of enemy firearms and bows.
When they were nervous, their hands would tremble, and the small muzzles of their guns would shake, as would the narrow openings of the pig-gall-shaped skin bags containing gunpowder they held in their hands. A lot of gunpowder was scattered on the ground.
Some were loaded with more gunpowder, some were loaded with less. Some even loaded lead bullets directly into the barrel without loading gunpowder.
The officers yelled angrily from behind.
"Zhang Laosan, is that your eye or your asshole? Where did you pour the gunpowder? It all landed on your feet." Xiaoqi Huang Yugang cursed angrily.
He rushed over with a quick stride, snatched away the yellow match rope next to him, and swung the burning point of the smoking match rope away from Zhang Laosan's shoes.
He cursed loudly: "Huang Youguang, please fucking watch, if you throw the match rope on his shoe, you will kill Zhang Laosan. You bastard."
