Traveler Major League

Chapter 149 Reinforcement
Various flags fluttered in the distance, and there was thunderous sound of horseshoes. The large group of cavalry was divided into three large groups on the left, middle and right, covering the entire field of vision, and even brought up waves of smoke and dust to drown the infantry behind the cavalry. No traces, only the flags can be seen but no real traces of people can be seen.

A small group of cavalry arrived first and reported: "Vice Commander Yansui Congratulations Sir has arrived."

After much anticipation and anticipation, the reinforcements from the frontier army finally arrived. Generals and officials under Liu Yingyu's command greeted him at the gate of the camp. The power is overwhelming, causing Yang's left eye to get very hot. As a cavalry general, his biggest dream is to lead the cavalry to go straight to Huanglong and make a great achievement. Unfortunately, most of his cavalry was lost in the previous battle with Liu Ze. , so now I can only lick my lips and envy.

"Lord Liu, how dare you trouble yourself to greet him personally? It's a sin." He Huchen dismounted from his horse and walked with his hands clasped. Now the commander in chief is basically equal to the commander of the military region, and the power of the deputy commander in chief is much worse, not to mention Liu Ying If he is familiar with the local banditry, he dare not take it.

"Mr. He has worked hard all the way. I've prepared the reception banquet. Please credit it." Liu Yingyu is a person who has been in the officialdom for a long time, and he is very good at this kind of reception. There are no fish in the clean, and there are no disciples when people are observant. The honest and upright officials like Hai Rui are basically extinct in Ming Dynasty. They are all smart people and very tactful.

Entering the military tent, after the two sat down, the military academies under him sat down, and there was a sound of "cracking" armor. At this time, He Huchen looked around the military tent, arched his hands and first said, "Master Liu is a man of culture and martial arts!" In this battle, we will all look forward to Master Liu's leadership."

Hearing this, Liu Yingyu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Master He is too famous, you and I will work together to suppress the bandits in this battle. The reputation of Mr. He's bravery and bravery has already been spread throughout Yan'an Mansion, and we only know the hero when we see him today." Why?"

Hearing this, He Huchen also breathed a sigh of relief: "Suppressing bandits for the country, I will do my duty." Although Liu Yingyu's official position is not high, but as a civilian officer in charge of military affairs, once he has made outstanding military achievements, his promotion is far from ordinary generals Nothing can be compared, so he also wants to make friends more.

The two praised each other for a round, and the subordinates on both sides became cheerful. Liu Yingyu clapped his hands, and soon soldiers entered the military tent to serve food and drink. Everyone smiled and greeted each other politely. The atmosphere gradually became more pleasant.

"The Hetao bandits made a massive invasion in the sixth year of Tianqi. General Yang Zhaoji assisted in the attack and smashed them. It's a great joy. Come, please drink up this cup." Liu Yingyu stood up and raised his glass.

He Huchen seemed to be scratched to an itchy spot, his eyes narrowed, and he quickly raised his glass and drank it down: "A mere few thousand bandits are nothing, nothing."

At this time, the chief officers of the two armies exchanged cups with each other, and the generals below also praised each other. He Huchen coughed lightly and asked, "What is the fighting power of this thief? How can he win multiple cities?"

"That thief Liu Ze lacks both cavalry and armor, but there is one thing that should not be underestimated."

He Huchen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that there were no armor and no cavalry. Without these two things, wouldn't it be easy to destroy them, and how could they be called soldiers without armor?But he heard that there was something that should not be underestimated, so he shook his head and asked, "What is it?"

"Its guns are extremely sharp."

"Oh?"

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Liu Yingyu ordered: "Bring it up."

Not long after, a soldier took out a long object wrapped in coarse cloth from the back tent. Liu Yingyu put it on the table, unwrapped the coarse cloth on the outside, picked up the Yuannian rifle and handed it to He Huchen. Said: "Has the general seen such a thing?"

"This is a firecracker?" He Huchen took the gun and turned it upside down. Seeing that the bolt was completely different from the chamber of an ordinary matchlock gun, he asked again, "How powerful is it?"

Liu Yingyu closed his eyes and sighed, "One hundred steps can break a long card of heavy armor."

"So sharp?"

"More than that, the excitation is extremely quick, and you can get angry in a few breaths."

Speaking of this, He Huchen really paid attention to it. He took the gun and looked left and right, but couldn't figure it out: "Can I try it?"

Liu Yingyu nodded, and then a large group of people stopped feasting and surrounded the two chief officers to go out to test their guns. One soldier set up an arrow target with cotton armor on it, and another soldier opened fire Bolt into the paper shell, aim, and with a "snap", a hole was visible to the naked eye from the back of the cotton armor, and quickly reloaded and fired, hitting all three shots in a row.

When He Huchen and his group got close, they all took a deep breath. The loading and firing speed was too fast, and the three-eyed blunderbuss could fire in bursts, but when they got closer to see the power, the three lead bullets all passed through the front and back. There are three layers of armor, leaving three penetrating wounds, and the armor plate at the position of the single hole is tilted, all of which show how terrible this weapon is.

"How many guns does this bandit have?" He Huchen's face was serious, he had seen the power of this gun before, but he was afraid that if the bandits had too many guns, the battle would be difficult.

"There are ten for every one hundred people fighting with our army, and there are more nests in Luochuan County. It is estimated that there are at least a thousand of them, and there are more than a dozen artillery pieces. The cannons will explode when touched, and can injure dozens of people. There are also thousands of red-haired and semu people used by them."

"Why are there so many perverted people?" He Huchen opened his mouth wide open, his face full of disbelief.

"I have an old friend who wrote to say that his nephew's house was destroyed by Liu Ze's bandits. He knew him very well, and said that he might have connections with foreign countries." Liu Yingyu thought of Yanmo mentioned in the letter from an old friend named Chen. In the manuscript, it introduces the origin of Liu Ze's local bandits in great detail.

"Franji people in the south?" He Huchen asked curiously. He had never heard of such a large number of red-haired people in the north, let alone the country.

Liu Yingyu nodded noncommittal, but he didn't know either.

"There are also people in our army who have been in contact with him, and their rules of conduct are quite profound. If they are not cleared up, it will be a serious problem in the future." Liu Yingyu said to Yu Ting, whose eyes fell on the back of the crowd, "Yu Ting, come and congratulate me General, tell me about Liu Ze."

At this time, everyone looked at Yu Ting, and he hurriedly walked in with his bowed body, and told all about Liu Ze's policies of recruiting, breaking the village and other policies that he knew at the beginning. Yes, but after all, he is a scholar, and he speaks more methodically than Guo Shunwang, so Liu Yingyu has been very popular recently, and he often discusses military affairs with him.

During this period of time, the small-unit battle plan was specially designed according to Liu Ze's grassroots regime, and it was specially designed to draw salary from the bottom of the pot. Facts have also proved that it is indeed effective, causing the rural soldiers led by the landlords and squires to establish a solid firewall outside the actual control area of ​​​​the People's Army. It effectively suppressed Liu Ze's policy of bewitching the poor farmers, and even made the poor farmers of the two sides take the initiative to fight blood feuds. It not only increased the difficulty of Liu Ze's expansion in the countryside, but also provided many auxiliary troops for the Ming army.

After listening to Yu Ting's introduction, He Huchen raised his fist and slammed it on the table, and cursed: "This Liu Ze is indeed a wolf with ambition, not an ordinary bandit. Master Liu, when shall we set off?"

"How about three days from now?"

"Okay, then three days later, I will swear to kill the bandits." He Huchen agreed without hesitation. He has marched so far and needs some time to rest, and three days later is the best choice.

Many generals and schools nearby also shouted: "Swear to kill the thieves, swear to kill the thieves."
