Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 153 Gu Er Becomes Brave

The Huai'an army, who had always been afraid of war, now ran wildly one by one, chasing the Tartars like chasing rabbits.

Gu Er is a small soldier in the Huai'an Army.

Because he is a military household and the boss of the family, he naturally became a soldier.

If nothing else happened, he would probably be a soldier for the rest of his life.

He's just that, and he's already seen the end at a glance.

Working as an errand to eat food and dawdle.

However, this day is not easy, because the imperial court has not paid any food for half a year.

Gu Er is a three-eyed shooter, and his weapon is a three-eyed gun.

He has not been a soldier for a long time, but because of the tense fighting in Xuanfu Town in recent years, he has fought with the army several times.

Most of them are guards.

Once it was a field battle with the Mongol Tartars.

While on the battlefield, Gu Er was dizzy and didn't know what happened.

I remember it clearly afterwards.

The scene at that time was very chaotic and noisy.

As the three-eyed shooter, Gu Er was at the front of the line.

When the Mongolian Tatars came on horseback, the officials of the hundred households kept shouting, don't light the fire, and wait until they are close before lighting the fire.

But it's messy, who can control that?

I don't know how many Tartars on the opposite side rushed over on horseback, and the sense of oppression was very strong.

It is not known who took the lead in firing the shots.

Then, ping pong pong.

Everyone lit the fire, fired the guns indiscriminately, turned around and ran away.

Gu Er also knew that at such a long distance, the three-eyed gun could not hit the enemy at all.

so what?

There is a saying in the army that goes to the battlefield and finishes firing the guns, and you are worthy of the emperor.

The emperor owed them half a year's salary, and they even went to the battlefield to fire guns... Great loyal ministers.

Originally, after they fired their guns, they should have retreated to the rear of the array, and the pikemen and archers should go into battle next.

But I don't know what happened, as soon as they ran to the back of the array, the array collapsed before they had time to fill the gunpowder.

Everyone is running away.

Gu Er followed Sa Yazi and ran away...

Fortunately, he was tall, long-legged, and fast, so he was lucky enough to run back to the city alive.

Two fellows with the same banner as him were missing.

One of them recovered a headless corpse after the battle.

The other one, who was not alive or dead, was presumably captured by the Tartars and made a slave.

Gu Er can be regarded as a person who has been on the battlefield and fought a war.

But today's battle was completely different from what he had seen before.

The real Tartars are aggressive, and the number of people still accounts for the majority, so they are so vulnerable.

Now, Gu Er is holding a three-eyed gun, and Sa Yazi is chasing a Tartar to run.

The Tartar was wearing two layers of armor and was a step armored man.

When Gu Er saw this kind of tartar before, he would tremble with fright.

Today, that Tartar was so frightened that the crap out of him.

There are two people running behind Gu Er...

They want to grab credit!

Gu Er understood very well.

The three of them were all from the Huai'an army. They had never killed a Tartar before, but they also knew the military merit of killing a Tartar.

In the imperial court, that's at least a direct promotion!

Moreover, there will be silver rewards.

For them, there is a more realistic idea, that is, they hope to kill a Tartar and join the strong army.

The food of the Qiangdi Army is so good, and the salary is so generous, they drool every day watching it.

That tartar is wearing heavy armor, which is an advantage when charging, but not when running away.

The heavy double armor weighed on her body and became a burden.

What's more, when he charged just now, his physical strength was exhausted, and now he has almost reached his limit.

Seeing that Gu Er and the other three were getting closer, the Jurchen Bujia suddenly roared, drew out the iron knife, and turned around desperately.

The tartars were fierce, and Gu Er was really taken aback when he turned around abruptly.

Had it been the past, he would never have dared to confront the Tartars head-on.

But at this moment, there was a lot of shouting and killing around, and all the comrades were charging, chasing the Tartars.

The atmosphere infected him.

Gu Er felt that the blood in his whole body was boiling, and he raised the three-eyed gun in his hand and threw it at the tartar.

It's not his nonsense.

The three-eyed blunderbuss of the Ming army can also be used as a weapon in close combat after the blunderbuss is released to hit the enemy.

There is training in this aspect during practice.

Of course, the three-eyed gun is heavy and heavy, and it is definitely not an opponent of the iron knife.

Ding!
A crisp sound.

As soon as the two fought, two Huai'an soldiers came after them, one with spears and one with swords and shields.

The three rushed to kill.

puff!
The spearmen broke through first, piercing the ribs of the infantry.

The knife and shield hand followed by a slash on the back of the armor.

Gu Er seized the opportunity, stepped forward and slammed on Bu Jia's head, killing Bu Jia's life.

Then, the three stepped forward and started looting.

"mine!"

"I was the one who caught up with this infantry first."

"If we hadn't arrived, you would have been killed by him!"

"I just want the head!"

"Good idea! Tartar heads are the most valuable!"

"..."

The three refused to give in to each other.

In the end, Gu Er snatched a set of chain mail and an iron knife.

It's a pity that the head was snatched by the sword and shield hand.

The spearmen got a cotton armor, and the broken silver from the Tartars...

The Qiangdi Army told them the rules, saying that all spoils must be handed in.

But whoever handed it in is the credit for it!

The battle continues.

Gu Er didn't have time to reload the three-eyed blunderbuss, so he continued to chase the other Tartars with the iron knife in his hand.

He saw that all the strong soldiers have hand guns, which are short and powerful, but are quite powerful and can be fired in bursts.

It is simply a melee weapon.

As long as it hits twenty steps away, it can penetrate the double armor... It's simply too sharp.

Fifteen hundred Tartars, less than a hundred escaped in the end.

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

"Lord Zhao, Wan Sheng!"

Both the Qiangdi Army and the Huai'an Army raised their weapons and shouted loudly.

This is their cry from the bottom of their hearts.

Zhao Cheng ordered the two teams to ride horses to hunt down the remnants of the enemy, while the others stayed behind to clean up the battlefield and collect the spoils...

"It is not allowed to hide the loot! Those who dare to hide the loot will be punished with death! The family members will be kicked out of the stronghold!"

A thought committee member held a loudspeaker and kept shouting.

The sergeants of the strong land army were all joking and laughing, and no one dared to hide the spoils.

Although the spoils of war were good, they were nothing compared to their wages.

Their treatment, even ordinary sergeants, can get 1000 yuan food stamps every month.

Food stamps are becoming more and more valuable now. If they were exchanged for silver, everyone would be rich.

There's no need to take that risk and hoard loot.

A Huai'an army seized some gold and silver jewelry from a Ba Yala and hid them privately, and was reported by others.

Without saying a word, Zhao Cheng was immediately dragged out and shot dead in front of everyone.

On the battlefield, severe punishment must be used.

At the same time, it was announced that the family would be expelled from the stronghold.

Military discipline cannot be sloppy at all.
