Chapter 64 Collusion between officials and bandits
On the city wall of Bozhou, the flags and flags of the Chuangjun were planted. From a distance, it seemed that there were soldiers of the Chuangjun standing there.

More than 100 officers and soldiers under the city wall, with hundreds of township braves, scattered and rushed down the city, shouting and killing.

A banner was planted behind Wang Jiaping's back, and he waved a knife to order his subordinates behind him, "Don't rush too fast, don't be accidentally injured by the firecrackers, those things may be aimed at the head, aim at the head and hit the foot, shoot people in the air, it's scary, give it to me!" I'm going to be catty."

After listening to his orders, the soldiers behind were very experienced and bent over and walked slowly.

"Second brother, it's starting again!" Zhao Zhuzi looked at the figure approaching the city wall, turned his head and said to Gao Yihuan who was wearing an iron armor.

Hearing the sound, Gao Yihuan walked to the wall, leaned on the wall and looked down. The besiegers were still far away, but he raised his hand, waved and ordered: "Let go!"

Dozens of soldiers who had just learned how to use firecrackers tamped the ammunition with wooden poles, then lit the matchlocks, raised the firecrackers and fired a round of blunderbusses flatly, then retreated to reload, and the second row of soldiers stepped forward and continued to release the blunderbusses.

For a while, the sound of "bang bang bang" on the city wall became one, and the city was filled with gunpowder smoke from the gunfire, and became blurred.

Gao Yihuan waved his hand to disperse the gunpowder smoke in front of him, and shouted loudly at the gunmen: "Well, that's good, let's put it like this. Pay attention to the dose when charging the powder, don't let the bastard explode."

Archers are a branch that needs to be cultivated, not just the skills of soldiers, they need long-term training before they can be called good at archery, and making a good bow is also very complicated, as short as half a year, as long as more than two years.

Gao Yihuan's archers, except for Huang San's accurate shots, most of them were half-baked, so Gao Erge asked for a hundred firecrackers when distributing supplies.

At this time, compared with bows and arrows, matchlock guns actually don't have many advantages. The rate of fire is not even as good as that of archers, and they are not as accurate. Ability is also stronger.

The barbarians outside the customs, who drink blood from a young age, kill like chickens, and can bend bows and shoot birds at a young age. If the second brother Gao wants to play bows and arrows with them, he is definitely not their opponent, and the second brother Gao has no time to train qualified archers.

The world is about to change, what the second brother needs is speed and quantity, and the firecracker can meet his needs, so he chose to equip the firecracker.

It's just that the quality of this batch of firecrackers was mediocre. In just a few days, three or four of them were scrapped, and a soldier was injured, which caused psychological obstacles for the gunmen.

"Second brother! It's been a few days, when are we going to perform!" Zhao Zhuzi looked at the people in the city howling and not rushing, and the gunmen on the city raised their guns and couldn't help asking.

"Let's go tomorrow!" Gao Yihuan replied casually. When he suddenly saw a person firing a gun, he turned his head aside, not daring to look at his gun, and immediately pointed at that person and cursed: "Wang Yong, you Chuo Niao, try tilting your head again!"

When shooting guns in the city yesterday, a gunner next to Wang Yong, because he put too much medicine, suddenly exploded when firing. There is a shadow in my heart.

When he fired the gun today, he was worried that the chamber would explode, so before he fired the gun, he closed his eyes and turned his head aside, not daring to watch the gun fire.

Hearing Gao Erge's scolding, he was so startled that he fired a gun, then hurriedly stepped back to reload~

"Second brother, they're retreating again!" Zhao Zhuzi suddenly pointed at the city and said.

Gao Yihuan looked back, not long after Fang rushed to the bottom of the city, the officers and soldiers who howled for a while retreated back.

Knowing that Gao Yihuan was in Bozhou, Wang Jiaping didn't dare to move too far, fearing that the fellow would shoot him by mistake on purpose, so he yelled for a while from a distance, and then hurriedly backed away when there was a golden sound behind him.

This play was an additional condition put forward by Liu Liangzuo. The purpose was to show Fengyang Governor Ma Shiying. Gao Yihuan cooperated and performed it for five or six days.

Liu Liangzuo knew that there were not many people in Bozhou City, and most of the rebels had already returned to Germany, but Ma Shiying didn't know it. He saw that the rebels had taken Bozhou, and was worried that the rebels would continue to attack Mengcheng and threaten Fengyang Fucheng, so he hurried out. Soak in one mouthful.

Ma Shiying didn't know that the rebels had already retreated, thinking that the main force of the Guide rebels had gone south, and this gave Liu Liangzuo a chance to cheat for credit. He sent Huang Shou to lead hundreds of people to fight with Gao Yihuan in Bozhou for a few days. Deduce a drama of defeating the main force of the German bandits and fighting hard to regain Bozhou.

In this way, he can get credit for both the north and the south. Not only will the defeat of Guide be wiped out, but the court will also reward him.

Gao Yihuan watched the officers and soldiers recede, and ordered, "Zhuzi, take care of the city, don't let the officers and soldiers make fake plays for real."

Zhao Zhuzi nodded, Gao Yihuan then turned around and went down to the city, returned to the county government office, and asked someone to find Ma Hongshan to discuss a few things before leaving Bozhou tomorrow morning.

Not long after, the horseman walked in with a red face, and he seemed in a very good mood.

The Xiangyong outside the city who helped the officers and soldiers attack the city was organized by him, and this time he will also take part in the credit, and maybe he can make a classic history.

Although Dian Shi is not a popular official, he is in charge of arrests and prisons in a county, and he is a role with real power.

Gao Yihuan saw him coming in, and without waiting for him to greet him, he said: "Mr. Ma, I will leave Bozhou early tomorrow morning. Please inform Huang Qianhu outside the city to prepare to take over the city."

"Captain, are you leaving now?" Ma Yuanwai was slightly taken aback.

Gao Yi laughed happily, "Could it be that Yuanwai Ma is reluctant to let me go?"

Ma Yuanwai smiled awkwardly, he just hoped to fight for a few more days, so that Governor Ma in Fucheng would know that it was not easy for them to take back Bozhou and it was a hard fight, so that his contribution would be greater.

He and Ma Shiying belonged to the same clan, so they could be regarded as distant relatives. In terms of seniority, Ma Shiying had to call him uncle.With this kind of relationship, plus the credit for regaining Bozhou, if he works a little bit, he might be able to find a job as an errand.

Ma Yuanwai naturally didn't want Gao Yihuan to stay in Bozhou. He was always a rogue, not bound by the laws of the Ming Dynasty. He could kill if he said that he killed, and nothing could restrain him. Such a person is very terrifying, similar to the emperor Laozi.

After Gao Yihuan left, Bozhou returned to the imperial court, so he was protected by the law, which made him feel more secure. Besides, if Gao Yihuan did not leave, how could he do evil in Bozhou?
"Captain Gao is busy with affairs. Although the old boy wants the captain to stay longer, he doesn't dare to delay the captain's time." The horse official said seriously: "The old boy will go out of the city to inform Huang Qianhu later!"

"The notification is not urgent." Gao Yihuan waved his hand, pointed to the chair and asked him to do it, and then said, "I came to you because I have a few things to tell you."

Seeing that the horseman was listening carefully, Gao Yihuan continued: "As for the grain, after you buy it from the south, you don't need to send it to Luyi. I'll let someone bring money to Bozhou to trade with you, so you can rest assured?"

If the grain is sent to Luyi, and Gao Yihuan doesn't give money, then the horsemen have nothing to do. Trading in Bozhou is different. Once Gao Yihuan leaves, Bozhou is under the control of the government and the army. If the horsemen don't see any money, they don't have to give food. .

In addition, in case of being investigated, he can still evade, not knowing the identity of the person who bought the grain, but if it is sent to Luyi, there will be no chance of sophistry.

Ma Yuanwai nodded immediately, "Captain, I have no objections."

"The matter of the grain trade is settled like this." Gao Yihuan nodded slightly, and suddenly took out a few pieces of paper, spread them on the table, raised his head and said, "Mr. Ma, come and take a look, I hope you can send someone to Jingdezhen, come here to order a batch of porcelain bottles for me. Also find a place in the south of the Yangtze River and order some iron boxes. I will draw them for you, and also write down the requirements for the size of the bottles and how much medicine to contain. Just let them make it according to the pictures. gone."

The horseman stepped forward, and on the two pieces of paper, one was a small porcelain bottle, only the size of a baby's fist, and the other was not very big.

The quantity of gunpowder has been stipulated in Qi Shuai's time. Gao Yihuan just wanted to use two utensils to make it more standardized. He used porcelain bottles of the same size to hold the propellant, and each soldier carried more than ten gunpowder. If you put it down, you can avoid putting more and less in the panic before the battle. As for the iron box, it is used to hold lead bullets.

The horseman took a look outside and didn't know what it was, but it shouldn't be a big problem, "This old boy will ask someone to do it, but I don't know how much the captain wants?"

Gao Yiyi was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "First come [-] porcelain bottles, and [-] iron boxes. If not enough, I will send someone to ask you to purchase~"

Ma Yuanwai thought he was going to have a dozen or so. Hearing him say such a number, he couldn't help suspecting that he had heard it wrong~
