The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 631 The Soldier Without Fighting

You must know that the heavy artillery, firecrackers, fine armor and other important weapons equipped by He Tengjiao's elite lineage are less than [-]% of that of Li Guo's!Not to mention the people over there in Changsha, not even a single one of them...

If there is a fight, although Changsha Hao Yaoqi and Wang Jincai have nearly 9000 troops, they may be difficult to defeat Li Guo's [-] men.

The young people who came with Li Guangchun continued to "explain" to the map, "This is General Gao Yigong Gao's 8000 troops, and they are fortified along the line from Changshui to Mubu Mountain in Tongcheng."

Before he could say anything, He Tengjiao's eyes turned to the numbers next to the "Gao" flag - six gates, thirty thousand stones, one thousand seven hundred horses, three thousand two hundred sticks, four thousand pairs.

Almost the same ratio as Li Guo's department.

The young man moved his fingers, and said again: "This is Li Dingguo, the general who descended from the Great West, confronting Hao Yaoqi's men and horses in the upper reaches of Changshui. Although he has only 3000 men, they are all cavalry. Ah, yes, Li Dingguo once led the army. Four thousand people defeated nearly ten thousand Jian prisoners in northern Sichuan, and more than half were captured and killed."

He Tengjiao's heart trembled again.He has fought against Jianlu many times, but he has almost never won. He knows what the concept of 2 Qing troops is—if the number of Qing troops who invaded Huguang before reached [-], Chu land would have already belonged to Jianlu.

"This is the main force of the imperial court. The white pole army under the command of the Duke of Shu in the new Jin Dynasty is responsible for attacking the east side of Wuchang..."

It turns out that the previous one wasn't the main force? !He Tengjiao's heart couldn't take it anymore, he hurriedly looked at the number next to the Baiganjun on the map, and couldn't help saying: "This, this is true?!"

"It must be a number!"

He Tengjiao was already in a cold sweat—the [-]-armed army had [-] heavy artillery pieces, [-] blunderbusses, and all were equipped with armor!
"This is the Jiangxi army, responsible for the east and south directions of Wuchang...

"This is the Gui Army, in charge of the south side of Changsha...

"This is the Cantonese army. Temporarily make a backup and listen to the call at any time..."

Although the equipment of these teams is poor, even the worst Cantonese army is several times stronger than the most elite troops in Huguang!
He Tengjiao suddenly understood why this person dared to tell himself the situation of the imperial court's military strength - even if he knew his deployment strategy, he still had nothing to do!Huguang's [-] troops, in front of the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, are simply chickens and dogs!
He Wenrui stretched his neck and shouted from the side: "What do you mean by the court soldiers and horses?! I think you are just bluffing!"

"This is easy. I dared to make the Sichuan Army and the Jiangxi Army retreat [-] miles before, so I am not afraid to let you come and see. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to the imperial court's large barracks to check at will within two days. I will not make it difficult for you you."

Seeing He Dutang standing there in a daze, the young man motioned to the guards to bring two wooden boxes, one large and one small, and ordered: "Open."

Immediately, he took out a firecracker from the small box, squinted his eyes for a moment, pointed at He Tengjiao's flag in the distance and said, "Does Master He think I can hit that flagpole?"

He Tengjiao looked up, the banner was at least a hundred steps away from him, he had never seen a gun that could shoot so far, and even if he could shoot so far, if he wanted to hit it accurately, he would have to shoot at least thirty or forty steps away. Just send it out.

He subconsciously shook his head, and saw the young man handing the blunderbuss to the guard beside him and said, "General Manager Gan, I'll leave it to you."

Gan Xinda said "yes", loaded the ammunition swiftly, barely aimed, raised the blunderbuss and shot, and the flagpole a hundred steps away broke in response.

"Shoot the one next to you."

"Yes!"

"And that one."

"Yes!"

Four flagpoles in a row can be folded with one shot!
The young man didn't seem to notice that He Tengjiao was wiping off his cold sweat, and asked someone to take out the items in the big box and pack them up.

He Tengjiao naturally recognized that it was the No. [-] Folang cannon, and he couldn't help but feel a little relieved-this thing is also equipped in his own army, and it is not as terrible as the firecracker just now.

Immediately, someone rowed out a small boat with a large plank, which seemed to be covered with iron sheets, and sailed half a mile away.After the people on the ship dropped anchor and left, the soldiers on Wangtianshi immediately began to operate the Franco cannon to seal the rubber seal, and then loaded the gun and took aim.

He Tengjiao secretly laughed, the No. [-] Folang machine's projectile weighs less than half a catty, and it can't shoot half a mile away, let alone destroy the thick wooden board covered with iron.

There was a roar beside him, and he missed the target.This is not surprising, the hit rate of cannons in this era is so unreliable.

It wasn't until the third shot that he finally saw a piece of wood shaking violently. He Tengjiao narrowed his eyes and was surprised in his heart. He didn't expect to shoot half a mile away.

When the small boat was rowed back, he was even more startled from ear to ear—the four-inch-thick wooden board covered with iron was actually shot through by a mere No. [-] Frangler, leaving a hole the size of a washbasin. !

How can this be? !
If the court's Flang machine has such power, it is not much worse than the Chu army's thousand-jin cannon!In this way, the number of cannons equipped by the imperial army must be at least doubled...

He Tengjiao suddenly felt cold all over, and he actually went against such an army? !It is no different from courting death!Just now the young man said that even if the Chu army has 30 or [-], it is not enough to see, it is definitely not a lie!

The young man's voice came from beside him again, "Master He, let me ask again, do you want to die or live?"

He continued to shake his head and sighed softly: "To tell you the truth, it is not impossible for me to save your life at this time." He pointed to the distant river, "The name of this ship is Galese, and it uses both oars and sails. , moving very fast on the river. Each large ship is equipped with eleven cannons over a thousand catties, and the small boat is equipped with six." Looking at the Huguang navy on the other side, "Forty or fifty boats of your size can be fired in a short while. Destroy them all. You are in the middle of the river now, where can you go?"

He Tengjiao couldn't help but took a few steps back, and said in surprise: "You, what are you going to do?!"

Seeing his expression, the young man said, "So, Mr. He chose to live?"

He Tengjiao said dejectedly: "Although I did not kidnap the emperor, I was framed by others. Now I am in rebellion, but how can I survive?"

"As long as Mr. He follows what I said, not only will his life be safe, but he may also make some achievements."

He Tengjiao squinted at him, "You can count your words?"

"It's all up to me."

He Tengjiao took another step back, with a surprised look on his face, "Who are you?"

The young man glanced at Li Guangchun beside him, and the latter immediately signaled the guards and attendants to kneel on the ground together, shouting in unison, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
