please make me king

Chapter 1054 Fire Gun and Gun Knife
"King Shun sent so many soldiers?" Zhu Yixuan, the new magistrate of Lantian County, looked at the soldiers in front of him and couldn't help but dare not believe it.

Since the miners' riot the day before yesterday, Zhu Yiyu had no soldiers or generals, so he had to retreat to Hengling, north of Lantian County.

There is a place here called "Hangongdui", which was originally Hangongdui Station in the Tang Dynasty. The terrain is quite high, and it is [-] miles away from Lantian County in the south.

Zhu Yixuan led the guards and Dudu Zhang sent to buy iron materials, and more than a hundred soldiers were stationed here.

This place was in the Guangde period of the Tang Dynasty. When Tubo attacked Chang'an, the famous general Guo Ziyi once entered Shangzhou.

Cui Di, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, also wrote a poem, "Looking at Qinchuan from Han Gongdui, and connecting Shanxi to Shanxi".

But from these two points, we can see that if this place is lost, there will be no peace in Xi'an.

This Zhu Yiyu's knowledge can only be regarded as the capital of the middleman, but he has been in Xi'an for a long time, at least he understands the surrounding terrain, so he retreats to the next best thing and stationed here to atone for his sins.

As a result, King Shun's reinforcements came very quickly, but there were only [-] people.

"Zhu Zhi County don't underestimate my five hundred people. They are all carefully selected and practiced day and night. Usually two or three thousand soldiers are scattered and brave. Are they my opponents?" Although Xu Quan lacked self-confidence, he still endured. Zhu Yi couldn't help comforting him.

"Not to mention there is a large group of people following up behind, what are you afraid of?"

"Is it really all right?"

"No problem!"

"Okay, then I'll recover the county with you!" Although Zhu Yiyi came from a collateral clan, he had attended school and practiced spears, sticks and bows, so he twirled a soft bow and volunteered.

"This...isn't that good?" Xu Quan was afraid that if it didn't work out, it would be bad if he folded this person in again.

"What are you afraid of? Zhu is also a good man. Is he a person who is afraid of death?" It turned out that Zhu Yiyu knew that he was from the imperial family of the former Ming Dynasty and was easily suspected by the King of Qin.

It just so happened that he lost Lantian County again, for fear that Zhang Shun would blame him.Seeing that Xu Quan was full of confidence, he decided to make up for his mistakes.

"Then... that's fine!" Seeing Zhu Yixuan's insistence on this, Xu Quan couldn't help feeling a little fond of him.

Hangongdui is fifty-five miles away from Xi'an City and thirty-five miles away from Lantian County.

It only took half a day for Xu Quan and the five hundred people to arrive at Han Gongdui. Zhu Yiyi originally wanted them to rest up for a night.

Xu Quan couldn't help laughing and said: "Soldiers are precious and fast, how did the thief expect that I would arrive today? Zhenghe caught him off guard!"

It turns out that Zhang Shun's new-style firecracker battalion, compared with the traditional team with a mixture of hot and cold weapons, not only has the marching team trained properly, it has overcome the effort of reorganizing on the road, and it also has a lot less load. Even a short-distance march can even carry luggage. were omitted altogether.

So Xu Quan looked at the sun in the west, and expected to reach Lantian tonight.

So the two left guards and soldiers sent by Zhang Dudu to buy iron materials to garrison Han Gongdui to wait for Zhang Dudu's "main force" to arrive, while Xu Quan and Zhu Yixuan led five hundred gunfire soldiers to Lantian County.

Xu Quan thought very well, but he never expected that he and others would encounter "rebels" who were waiting in full force just two or three miles outside Lantian County.

"It's over, there is a traitor leaking the news!" Zhu Yixuan couldn't help being terrified.

"I'm afraid of birds, and when we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win, and the whole army will line up!" Xu Quan gritted his teeth when he heard the words, he couldn't go away, so he had to fight hard to the end!
Following Xu Quan's order, the Fire Gun Battalion, which was originally in the marching ranks, lined up in five rows in front of Xu Quan and Zhu Yiyi like flowing water.

Before Xu Quan gave an order, each of them took lead bullets and put them in their mouths one after another, then took out the fixed charge and poured them into the barrel of the gun, then put in the lead bullets, and stabbed them firmly with the gun rod.

"General Wang, look." An old man on the opposite side couldn't help saying timidly when he saw the rebel army's skillful movements.

"What are you afraid of? This thing just makes a noise, and when we get to the front, we will scatter!" The "General Wang" riding a tall horse couldn't help sneering.

"I've seen a lot in the outskirts, what's there to be afraid of?"

"Really?"

"real!"

"Okay then, I will entrust the life of my son of the Wang family to the general!" The old man hesitated for a moment, then nodded helplessly.

"Who made this Shun thief do such a good job? My family business of the Wang family has nearly three hundred years, and it cannot be ruined in my hands!"

"Don't worry!" the general couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, "Anyway, Lantian, the court will not treat you badly in the future!"

"What's more, there are people in your family, who would dare to deny your credit!"

After finishing speaking, he couldn't help but turned his head and shouted loudly: "Go up to me! The thief's blunderbuss can be heard, and it can't penetrate our armor at all!"

All the miners hesitated for a while when they heard the words, and then rushed forward.

When Xu Quan looked at the opposite side, he immediately felt relieved.

What do you think, it turns out that although this group of miners are brave, they have not been trained and they are not in a team, they only rely on their blood and courage.

"One discharge!" Xu Quan couldn't help but ordered loudly when the enemy approached about eighty steps.

Suddenly, with a deafening bang, seven or eight miners on the opposite side were knocked down on the spot.

"The front row retreats, the rear row aims!" Xu Quan gave the order methodically.

"put!"

Immediately, more than ten people were knocked to the ground on the spot, and the miners could not help but pause in their charge.

"Quick, rush to me, are you going to stand there and be a living target?" The "General Wang" yelled loudly, and couldn't help but feel a little bit in his heart.

Others don't know, doesn't he know?

Such a neat and quick way of releasing the guns, I am afraid that only the gunners trained by the "Western Party" in Denglai have such skills.

However, haven't they already turned to Houjin?How could it appear here again?
"Kill, hurry up and kill me!"

"Let go!" Xu Quan continued to order with a cold face, and immediately fired another volley, reaping more than ten lives.

Zhu Yixuan couldn't help swallowing at the side, seeing the shooter in front of him like a farmer harvesting wheat, ruthlessly harvesting the life in front of him, he couldn't help being terrified.

"General Xu Xu, the thief is approaching!" He couldn't help reminding.

Xu Quan ignored him, but ordered loudly: "The first row is aiming, the second and third rows are ready to line up and charge. The fourth row, the fifth batch is ready to protect the wings!"

The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and they could almost see the scared and nervous faces on the other side.

"Let go!" The last round of gunfire rang out. Due to the short distance, at least thirty people on the opposite side were knocked down this time.

After the first row of guns, he quickly ran to the back of the array from left to right without looking.

The gunners in the second and third rows, who had already loaded their gun knives, could not help but countercharge the enemy with the guns in their hands according to Xu Quan's instructions.

"Kill!" The morale of the miners who had experienced four or five waves of gunshots was already on the verge of collapse. They thought that they would gain the upper hand by rushing forward, but they never expected that the enemy on the opposite side would charge back.

Immediately, their hearts trembled, and they dropped the weapons in their hands and turned around and ran.

"Straight mother thief, stop for me, stop!" The "General Wang" killed several people in a row, but he still couldn't stop his defeat.

"General Wang, are you still leaving?" The old man was scared out of his wits and couldn't help reminding while running.

"Let's go?" "General Wang" couldn't help but sneered, and he rode his horse and said, "Then let's go!"

"Come on!" Zhu Yixuan couldn't help shouting happily while running with Xu Quan.

"At one stroke, take back Lantian City!"

Now the rebel army has pursued Li Xu, and Lantian City is already in sight.

Xu Quan was also quite excited, and only thought that this was the end of the matter.

Unexpectedly, there was a roar like rolling thunder, and he turned his head to look, and he couldn't help being shocked: "Cavalry, why are there cavalry?"

"Array, quick, form a hollow square array!"

It turned out that this "General Wang" didn't go far just now, but instead returned to Lantian City, calling for the only remaining member of the Wang family under his command.

"Success or failure depends on one action!" He couldn't help but gritted his teeth, thinking: "If you want to make up for your mistakes and get back to your original post, that's all you can do!"
