Take the arsenal to Da Ming

Chapter 45

Now that he had already made a welcome gesture, Liu Gong simply made a full gesture, and he personally led a team of followers to greet him outside the city gate in advance.

He first asked people to clear away the corpses and debris blocking the road at the city gate, and then stood in the middle of the road and waited.

Getting closer, he carefully looked at the team that was slowly approaching not far away.

The entire team marched neatly in four columns, and they wore uniform uniforms that were different from any army.

The clothes were not only not bright, but rather dark. The color of the hat was the same as the clothes, and it was also very special. It was a type I had never seen before, but it matched the clothes perfectly.

The matching of the whole set of costumes can be said to be inconspicuous at all. If you are far away, you may not be able to see this small team clearly at a glance.

Most of the soldiers in this team carried a musket similar to a blunderbuss, except that the front end of the gun was actually inlaid with a sharp knife.

There are also a few soldiers carrying an obviously heavier weapon, which should be a more powerful firearm.

In addition, each soldier has some large and small packages hanging on his body. I don't know what is inside, but since it is equipped, it is obviously useful.

After looking at it, this well-groomed team had already appeared more than ten meters away in front of Liu Gong.

Liu Gong rushed forward, before he could speak, he heard a long and deep shout, "Stand...fix..."

"Tap, bah..." Two neat movements brought out two neat voices. After the whole team took a step forward, they kept the same posture and stood still.

This sudden shock startled Liu Gong. First, he had never seen such a move before, but on the other hand, he was shocked by such uniformity.

The soldiers looking down from the top of the city couldn't help whispering.

After the team stopped, three figures ran out from the back of the team. Their distressed looks were very different from the style of the whole team.

But at this moment, the three of them didn't seem to care so much at all, and ran to Liu Gong immediately, as if they had been wronged, and like children who had been away from home for a long time, they shouted tremblingly, "My lord."

Seeing the appearance of the three of Yang Chengde, Liu Gong frowned, thinking, "Could it be that they have been abused by Tangning?"

Right now, it was naturally difficult to ask about this matter. Liu Gong waved his hand to let them go back to rest, and then immediately met Tang Ning who was striding over.

Tangning cupped her hands first, and said in a trembling voice, "It must be Mr. Liu. The last general, Tangning, has met Mr. Liu."

Although the two had met before, this was the first meeting between the two, so Tangning took the initiative to report her identity.

Liu Gong naturally guessed that the young man commanding the team was the legendary Tang Ning. He quickly smiled and bowed his hands and said, "General Tang, it's a pleasure to meet you. Seeing is better than seeing once. See you today, Tang Ning." The general is indeed a young talent."

"Master Liu has won the prize."

"This time, I would like to thank General Tang for sending troops to help. Please come to the city with me and allow the county to reward the soldiers." After speaking, Liu Gong stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.

Tangning smiled and said, "Let me give you a present."

After finishing speaking, Tangning waved her hand, "Bring me here."

Liu Gong had long seen the figure being detained in the back row, his biggest enemy these days: Zhou Chongyu.

At this time, Zhou Chongyu was expressionless, and he did not end in failure, nor did he have the high-spirited and high-spirited rhetoric that he wanted to take down Chenghai County as soon as possible.

Perhaps it was because he knew that this opponent was not defeated by himself, or it was not the right time, so Liu Gong didn't say much. He thanked Tangning first, and then waved his hand and ordered, "Take him away, and put him in the county prison first."

Several entourages immediately stepped forward and escorted Zhou Chongyu away without saying a word.

After watching Zhou Chongyu being taken away, Liu Gong turned around and gestured to Tangning again.

"Please." Tangning also extended her hand as a gesture of invitation.

Liu Gong immediately led the way, but Tangning turned around and ordered, "Let's go..."

Hearing the order, the team that had been standing still marched neatly again, with a solemn military appearance, and entered the city from the city gate.

As soon as they entered the city, they could clearly see the ragged, disheveled and tired soldiers standing sparsely on the horse paths on both sides of the inner side of the city wall, looking at the team that had just entered the city.

Seeing this scene, Liu Gong sighed in his heart, not knowing, but he could see the huge gap in it.

In fact, these city guards cannot be blamed. They are not formally organized troops, but militiamen and township soldiers who were recruited when the county was in crisis.

The Ming Dynasty's military equipment has been sluggish for a long time, and the frontline soldiers are often short of clothing, food, and weapons. What's more, these local armed forces have just experienced a fierce battle.

Tang Ning would not look down on them. In many cases, the combat power that these local armed forces can display is even much stronger than Daming's so-called regular army.

The famous Qi Family Army is actually composed of a group of rural soldiers.

Tangning thought so, but it didn't mean that the soldiers under his command also thought the same way. They used to be a group of bandits hiding in the mountain dens. They were born with a different standpoint from the officers and soldiers, and they were somewhat in awe of the officers and soldiers.

But now, they themselves are an honorable soldier.

More importantly, at this moment, compared with the officers and soldiers I feared before, the sense of superiority really does not need to be aroused, it arises spontaneously.

They were very fortunate, thankful that they followed General Tang, also thankful that General Tang trained them seriously, and even more fortunate that they persevered.

A seed called a sense of pride and honor has been quietly planted in their hearts, making them more recognized for this team.

Liu Gong, who was walking side by side with Tangning, seemed to have thought of something, and asked a little embarrassedly, "General Tang, are any soldiers injured? I'll send someone to treat them immediately."

Tangning waved her hand and said, "We have no casualties."

"Hiss..." Hearing these words, Liu Gong couldn't help but gasped from the bottom of his heart.

With a team of more than [-] people, defeating an enemy of more than [-] people with zero casualties is much more difficult than defeating an enemy army of more than [-] people.

Liu Gong thought that the casualties of the new army should not be large, but he never thought that this number would be zero.

Now that Tangning said it himself, Liu Gong couldn't believe it, but it's not easy to ask again. He will find out when he goes back and ask Yang Chengde and the other three. After all, the three of them have been with Tangning and his party.
