Chapter 3 The First Battle
Liu Xia divided these 30 people into six teams, a team of five people, and then four teams formed a squadron, a total of 20 people, of which Liu Dazhuang served as the captain and the captain of the first team of the squadron.
The other two teams have a total of ten people as Liu Xia's personal guards. These ten people are the most powerful ten selected from 30 people, all of whom are extremely tough. Liu Xia asked Wang Shitou to be the captain, which made Wang Shitou excited and speechless. Wang Shitou felt that he must live up to the trust of the general. He must Protect the general.
After Liu Xia arranged the military system of the team, she began to ask what weapons were in the team at this time, among which there were several bows and arrows. Bows and arrows were very important weapons in Liu Xia's eyes at this time, because to minimize casualties, these were their most basic teams, and there could not be too many casualties. I still have to rely on these more than 30 people to slowly control the team that will increase in the future.
When Liu Dazhuang saw that Liu Xia asked him about the number of weapons in his team, he thought about it carefully and quickly replied, "General, we are the number 30, including ten archers, and the rest of the brothers are with knives, and now we don't have too many arrows. Although we have ten archers, Now there are only four bows that can be used, and the rest of the bows are either lost during the retreat or damaged in battle and can no longer be used.
Listening to Liu Dazhuang's words, Liu Xiaxin suddenly cooled down. The weapon of this era's long-range attack is this bow and crossbow. Liu Xia didn't dare to think about it, but she didn't expect that there were few bows. Liu Xiaxin thought it would be better to have a musket, musket! Yes, muskets, there were indeed muskets in the Ming Dynasty, and they were equipped a lot. However, most of the Ming army were muskets. In this era of front-mounted guns, the range was about 100 steps at most, and the restrictions of muskets were very much. It took about a few minutes to shoot a bullet. Skilled musketers It's good to shoot two shots in three minutes, and it can't be used on rainy days. The rain can directly extinguish the fire rope, and the fire rope gun does not pose much threat in front of the cavalry.
After all, the cavalry's charge is very fast. At this distance of 100 meters, the cavalry will arrive in an instant. The musket gunner has no time to load gunpowder and bullets at all. At that time, it will be a one-sided slaughter.
When the rear gun is not found, it is obviously not good to use a fire rope gun to deal with the cavalry. If you have a firing gun team, it will be very easy to unify China by yourself. Although you are not a gun master, Liu Xia still knows the basic principles of this gun. Find some craftsmen to study it. Maybe you can Let the firing gun be born ahead of time. At that time, he must be comparable. Thinking of this, Liu Xia began to be excited.
"If only it would be great if there was a gun." Liu Xia, who was thinking about the problem, unconsciously said it out of her mouth. At this time, Liu Xia thought to herself that if more than 30 of them had a gun, and then ambush and fight tunnel warfare, anyway, they had an absolute advantage. Whoever did not accept it, they would shoot directly.
"Gun? General, do you talk about the musket? We have muskets! General, what are you going to do? Liu Dazhuang is the closest to Liu Xia. Although Liu Xia's voice is not too high, Liu Dazhuang can still hear it clearly.
The gun Liu Xia said was indeed a musket, but it was a shotgun. Liu Dazhuang didn't know that there was a shotgun in the world. He only knew the musket. At this time, in the Ming Dynasty, the musket was called a bird gun, so Liu Dazhuang quickly took out a little broken one from the side of a soldier. The damaged musket, but if gunpowder is added, it can still be used and is not damaged.
Liu Xia was a little surprised. She didn't expect that they would get a gun. She looked up and looked at it. She was very disappointed and smiled bitterly.
This is a typical fire rope gun. This fire rope gun can't be used at all when it rains, and the accuracy is not very high. However, anyway, this fire rope gun is the first gun that Liu Xia saw in the world. It can be used for sneak attack. Of course, it requires very high technology.
"Although this gun is not so... but that's it. There will be a chance to make that kind of rifled gun in the future." Liu Xia said to herself. Liu Dazhuang was a little depressed. He couldn't understand what Liu Xia said. What kind of rifled gun? Is a shotgun better than a bird gun?
Liu Xia thought about it again, and then said to Liu Dazhuang, "Is there any gunpowder?"
"Gunpowder? Do you still have gunpowder?" Liu Dazhuang shouted to the soldier. The soldier is a musketeer, but this musketeer is only a part-time job. He is also an excellent archer. It's enough to practice a musket for a few months, but if he practices bows and arrows well, I'm afraid it won't pass in a few years. Because the army is equipped with some birds, he shoots and arrows well. , give priority to the use of this bird.
After listening to Liu Dazhuang's words, the soldier touched it in his arms, touched it for a while, and took out a projectile. He looked all over his body and found a box of black gunpowder. Finally, the soldier handed the projectiles and black gunpowder to Liu Dazhuang, and Liu Dazhuang gave it to Liu Xia.
Black gunpowder is not particularly powerful. It can only be regarded as medium-sized gunpowder. In the future, if you want to make powerful bombs and guns, you need to develop smokeless gunpowder. It seems that the current bullets are filled with nitrified cotton. Don't think about this first, and now let's talk about what's going on.
Liu Xia held the musket in her hand. Liu Xia felt quite heavy. For the gun, Liu Xia had never touched it. After all, in the previous life, it was a legal society. It was not a policeman or a soldier, and it was difficult to touch the gun.
Liu Xia played with the fire rope gun for a while, and saw that the time was almost up, so she said seriously to the soldiers below, "Are you ready to kill the enemy?" I only heard the following unison say in unison: "I'm ready to drive out the shats and get back to my big man", but I didn't shout too loudly. After all, I'm escaping from this small yard now, and I can't let the Qing army find out.
"Okay, let's take our own weapons. Let's go." After saying that, Liu Xia took his big knife, opened the door and went out first, followed by Liu Dazhuang and Wang Shitou. The rest followed at the end. Liu Xia did not swagger out. First of all, he had to investigate the form, but the Qing army had not yet come to this place.
After walking out of the house, it was still raining outside, but it was already drizzling, and the ground was full of water. Liu Xia ordered the two bodyguards on the left and right to scout the enemy, and then the army followed him to move little by little, knowing each other and winning every battle.
Liu Xia and others left the yard, and there was red blood flowing in front of the yard. Liu Xia and others were extremely angry. They all knew who the blood belonged to. It was innocent people. The beasts killed these days, damn it, this is what everyone thought.
Following the direction of blood flow, Liu Xia took the crowd in that direction, and the roadside was full of corpses.
Liu Xia wants to see what these Qing army looks like. It is so cruel. Since Jing laughed to this world, Liu Xia has actually not seen the Qing army with her own eyes. There is an image of the Qing army in her mind, but that is not what she saw with her own eyes. Now she wants to see what the Qing army looks like with her own eyes.
Along the slow flow formed by the rain, Liu Xia and others quickly came to a yard. At the door of the yard, there stood a rough man with a rough physique. The big man was unhappy and looked inside from time to time, but soon the guy took out a pile of jewelry from his arms, and his face was full of joy and couldn't close his mouth. From time to time, there were women's screams and men's gasps in the yard. And the blood flowing in the water flows out of this yard...
"Beast, I killed him." Liu Dazhuang stared at this scene angrily, but he knew that he could not expose his position now. He just whispered and wanted to go straight forward to kill the wild boar skin man.
Liu Xia hurriedly stopped Liu Dazhuang, turned her head coldly and looked at the tahri. She turned her head and said to Liu Dazhuang and said, "We can't startle the snakes now. First, we have to find out how many people are in it, and then make a decision. Don't worry, I, Liu Xia, will never let go of these charas."
After Liu Xia finished speaking, these people were honest. Liu Xia and others were in front of the wall of the yard at this time, which was a good observation of the position of the form, so Liu Xia ordered a soldier to climb up the wall to see how many people were in the yard.
"Dahei, come and camel me, let me see." Liu Dazhuang got Liu Xia's order and quickly ordered a strong soldier under him. Then with the help of this soldier, Liu Dazhuang appeared on the wall and carefully observed the situation in the yard with two eyes.
After inspecting for a while, Liu Dazhuang came down from Dahei's body and walked to Liu Xia and said, "General, most of the chararis inside are in the house. There is only one main room in this yard. I think the room is not closed. From the outside, there are probably seven or eight charans in it. As for not seeing it. See, there are almost a dozen in total." As soon as Liu Dazhuang finished speaking, there were more than a dozen taritans in it, and these guards were in chaos.
They all come from Liaoning. Of course, they know that tari is not easy to deal with. Often four or five Ming troops can't beat one saritan. Now there are more than a dozen saritans in it. They have no advantage at all. Even if they win, I'm afraid there will be many casualties.
Liu Xia was not worried like these soldiers. Although the tartars are powerful, in fact, the Ming army is not weak, but these generals can't do it. The Ming army and the tartars often fight several times more than the tartartars and defeat the war, which makes the Ming army soldiers think that they can't win a Tatar. .
"General, what should we do?" Liu Dazhuang asked.
Wang Shitou came over and pouted, "What should I do? I'll fight with him."
"Stone, come back quickly. This won't work. We need to take wisdom," Liu Xia said to Wang Stone.
"Smart, how to get smart? General, I'm not afraid of death. I can kill the gatekeeper myself." Wang Shitou curled his lips unhappily, as if Liu Xia's words were questioning his force.
Liu Xia looked at the sky and then said calmly, "At this time, it's almost dusk. Let's wait for the evening to act, and the powerful bows and arrows are ready. We don't have many bows and arrows now, so every time we shoot an arrow, we try to be as accurate as possible. Then the rest of the archers shoot some, and then Go up and kill."
