Daming pirates

Someone asked Zu Dashou: "Does it mean that we can only sit back and wait for death, or wait and see which way the wind blows?"

Zu Dashou nodded and said: "I'm afraid that's the only way!"

So after some deliberation, the Guan Ning generals who still controlled some troops and horses finally reached a unified opinion, which was to wait and see the outcome of the battle with Jiannu when Yu Xiaotian led his army out of the border.

If Yu Xiaotian really wanted to destroy Jiannu, then they would have no other choice but to honestly hand over their military power and go home to take care of themselves.

But if Yu Xiaotian leads his army out of the customs this time but fails to kill the Jiannu, then they and others will still have the opportunity to continue bargaining with Yu Xiaotian and retain their current status outside the customs.

But today, when they saw with their own eyes these incomparably capable Yu family troops under Yu Xiaotian's command, everyone's hearts were already cold.

They have been dealing with Jiannu for decades outside the customs, and they are all quite knowledgeable, but they have never seen such an elite team. Therefore, almost everyone subconsciously sentenced Jiannu to death.

I can no longer think of confronting Yu Xiaotian.

Yu Xiaotian didn't put on any airs. After getting off his horse and meeting Zu Dashou and his party, he personally held Zu Dashou's arms and talked with them. They had a very pleasant conversation.

Moreover, Yu Xiaotian declined the invitation from Zu Dashou and others to invite him to the city to host a banquet. He was preoccupied with military affairs and could not talk about the ostentation. Instead, he ordered the entire army to camp outside Jinzhou City and invited Zu Dashou and others to stay outside the city.

In the camp, we had a simple meal and discussed the next campaign against Jiannu.

Zu Dashou and others had no choice but to obey the order. Although Yu Xiaotian has not ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he has taken the title of prisoner of the country. His status in the Ming Dynasty can be said to be one person below ten thousand people.

In fact, even the current sage, Emperor Chongzhen, may only be at his mercy.

Therefore, Yu Xiaotian left them to discuss matters in the camp, and they did not dare to refuse easily. They could only hold their noses and agree, watching as Yu Xiaotian's men set up camp outside the city with a dizzying speed.

After setting up the camp, in less than an hour, a huge military camp with complete facilities was completed outside Jinzhou City.

It took the Yu family army such a short time to set up such a complete military camp. This incident alone opened the eyes of Zu Dashou and the Guan Ning generals.

All the soldiers and generals of the Yu Jiajun, under unified control, were as agile as their arms and fingers, and they performed their duties without any confusion. Their efficiency was so high that it was an eye-opener for everyone.

While doing all this, the Yu Jiajun did not relax at all about the surrounding situation. The cavalry did not disband at all, but split up to patrol around the camp. They responded immediately to any disturbance in the surroundings, which shows the Yu Jiajun's vigilance.

It was so high that even though this was an area controlled by the Ming Dynasty, they did not relax at all.

Gangzu Dashou and the others also felt that the Yu Jiajun did not trust them, the Guan Ning Army, which made them a little embarrassed and a little discouraged.

Fortunately, they didn't do anything evil today. If they really tried to harm Xiaotian, I'm afraid they would have fallen directly here today. These tiger and wolf divisions led by Yu Xiaotian are definitely capable of defeating them.

The city of Jinzhou was flattened.

Especially when they saw the Yu Jiajun artillery troops entering the camp, they were all secretly surprised. They did not expect that the Yu Jiajun could carry so many heavy artillery during the field march.

Gun jacket, but just looking at the outside of the cannon wrapped in the gun jacket, you can see that the mounts of these cannons are extremely exquisitely designed and are very labor-saving to move.

Each cannon is hung on the back of a novel-style front carriage, and the artillerymen either ride on the front carriage or follow on both sides of the cannon carriage. Each cannon is drawn by two or four horses.

It is very convenient when exercising.

A rough calculation shows that when Yu Xiaotian left the customs this time, his troops alone carried more than a hundred heavy artillery pieces, and all of them were red cannons. This kind of firepower is really frightening to watch.

.

Guan Ning's army was quite well-equipped in the past. Whatever good things the Ming Dynasty had, they would always use them first. The Hongyi cannon was also the first to be given to Guan Ning's army for use.

When Yuan Chonghuan led his troops to defeat Ningyuan outside the pass, he relied on several Hongyi cannons provided to them by the pass to win the victory, so the firearms of the Guan Ning army were quite powerful.

But that's the limit. Although they have obtained several batches of Hongyi cannons over the years, these Hongyi cannons are quite bulky and not suitable for field use. They are mostly scattered in various cities and used as city defense artillery.

In field battles, it is rare to carry some large Hongyi cannons into battle.

However, the Yu Jiajun brought out so many Hongyi cannons from the pass at once, and they were so light. Such equipment astonished all the Guanning soldiers.

Moreover, they also saw that a large number of Yu Jiajun were not using ordinary swords and spears and other cold weapons. Most of the Yu Jiajun soldiers were carrying what seemed to be extremely well-made muskets, which made them feel even more.

Surprisingly, everyone has heard that the Tai family army is good at using fire and spears in combat. Their fire and spears can reach far and even kill generals from three to four hundred steps away. They are quite sharp and unusual.

After seeing the muskets they carried this time, and the number of them, Guan Ning's soldiers were even more timid, and they did not dare to have any evil intentions towards the family army.

Taking advantage of his free time while setting up camp, Yu Xiaotian did not directly ask Zu Dashou and other Guan Ning generals about the recent activities of establishing slaves. Instead, he randomly found an open space on the spot and casually recruited a platoon of Yu Jiajun soldiers.

The fire-gunners gave Zu Dashou and other Guan Ning generals a shooting demonstration on the spot.

Under Yu Xiaotian's instructions, soldiers quickly set up more than a dozen breast targets 150 to 200 paces away. A platoon of gunners stood side by side, and at the platoon leader's order, they raised their targets.

Aiming the gun.

The appetites of Zu Dashou and other Guan Ning generals were immediately whetted, and they all stared at the chest targets with wide eyes. They were all soldiers, and of course they could immediately judge the distance between the chest targets and these gunners.

distance, everyone is full of curiosity.

There are rumors that the Yu Jiajun's guns can kill people hundreds of steps away, but these are just rumors. None of the Guan Ning generals have seen it with their own eyes. Over the years, they have also tried to spend a lot of money to kill people from within the pass.

They wanted to get some Yu Jiajun's guns, but because Yu Jiajun had extremely strict control over firearms, they were never able to do so.

When Yu Xiaotian wanted to show them the power of these Yu family weapons and guns in person today, these people's appetites were naturally whetted. They all held their breath and stared at the dozen chest targets with wide eyes.

.

Even if they call in big artillery to fire at such a distance, they may not be able to hit it, let alone using blunderbuss, so they are somewhat doubtful.

But as a row of gunshots rang out, their eyes suddenly fell to the ground. Although they were far away and they couldn't see clearly what was going on on the chest targets, they still saw several chest targets because they were not fixed firmly.

, he was knocked to the ground on the spot.

After the shooting, Yu Xiaotian invited Zu Dashou and others to check the target in person, so under the escort of the guards, these people walked to the place where the target was set up.

Zu Dashou and several Guan Ning generals went over and carefully observed the chest targets. They all couldn't help but gasped. There were at least a few slingshots left on each of these chest targets, and the chest targets were made of thick wood.

In this way, every bullet can effectively penetrate the chest target. At such a distance, even if it hits a human body, it can ensure that the bullet is fired into the human body.

So Zu Dashou and several Guan Ning generals felt chills in their hearts, and they all secretly said they were lucky. Fortunately, they did not choose to confront Yu Xiaotian with force. Otherwise, they would probably be the targets now, and they would be targeted by Yu Xiaotian.

Yu Jiajun's fire-guns left holes all over his body.

Now they finally understood why Wu Xiang led his troops to sneak attack the Tianjin Guard occupied by the Yu Jiajun and was beaten so badly. Even he himself was beaten to pieces on the spot. It turned out that the musket in the hands of the Yu Jiajun was

It's true that this thing is really sharp.

-At least no one can think of a way to restrain them at the moment. This guy can hit far and accurately. Even if they defend the city, they probably won't get any favors. They can stay far outside the city and guard the guards on the city wall.

Knocking out the troops one by one without worrying about counterattacks from the defenders. Thinking about this battle makes people feel hopeless. There is no way to fight! It is simply a matter of being beaten, but there is no chance to fight back.

Now they finally know the reason why Yu Jiajun was able to take down the capital in just a few days. Not to mention that the capital was guarded by those with silver-like pewter spearheads, even if they Guan Ning's army

If they were sent to defend the city, they would probably be no better than those in the capital.

Today Yu Xiaotian seemed to let them watch a shooting show. To put it bluntly, he was trying to knock the mountain off the mountain and let them understand the power of the guns Yu Jiajun had at his disposal first, so that they would not have any wrong ideas in their minds.

After this beating, Zu Dashou and several Guan Ning generals calmed down the arrogance in their hearts and became much more respectful towards Xiaotian.

After the camp was set up, Yu Xiaotian invited them to join the camp and talk in the big tent that had just been set up. After the two parties sat down, Yu Xiaotian did not exchange too many polite greetings with them, and simply asked about Jinzhou.

After checking the strength and training equipment of the Ning army at the border, they began to ask them about the situation of establishing slaves.

Zu Dashou and others did not dare to lie. They briefly told Xiaotian about their current troop strength and equipment training situation, and then began to report to Xiaotian about the situation on Jiannu's side.
