Number of People

  Chapter 2181 The decile scroll breaks the gall, and the hog bursts out

  After being in Xi’an Mansion for so long, Feng Ziying’s personal soldiers have already been reborn. In addition to the traditional spearmen and sword and shield handmen, an 80-man firecracker soldier has already been armed.

   Except for some veteran soldiers, most of them are still new recruits, but this period of non-stop training has allowed them to grow rapidly, and under the leadership of the veteran soldiers, they are already able to put on a decent posture.

  Since she is her own soldier, protecting her own life, Feng Ziying will certainly not be stingy about investing.

All self-generating guns, with faster firing speed and more accurate interval time, external bayonet sleeves, three-stage strikes in long-distance combat, and melee bayonets turned into spearmen, which can greatly reduce the number of spears used to protect them. With the number of spearmen and sword and shield handmen, the mainstream status of gunmen is becoming more and more prominent.

This latest model has begun to be promoted in the Northwest Army, Liaodong Army, and Jizhen Army, but the high price of self-generated firecrackers has limited large-scale promotion, so several towns simply changed to the model of ordinary firecrackers and socket bayonets .

   It’s nothing more than slowing down the speed of the three-stage attack, but under the thick formation brought about by sufficient troops, the power released by this is not much worse than the rebels, Mongols, and Jurchens who are far inferior to themselves.

  Accompanied by Duan Xipeng's sharp and sonorous roar, ninety musketeers, guarded by spearmen in front, had already started to line up to reload and aim.

   This kind of formation was never seen by the guards and ruffians. Although they had never fought a war, they still knew that the black thing that looked like a fire stick was really not a fire stick.

They all know that the soldiers of the governor's yamen practice shooting in the school field every day. They saw the smashed planks and wooden rafts being carried out every five days. Some of them have seen it before. It can't withstand the bombardment of this kind of firearm, but it is much stronger than the poor three-eyed firecracker.

Being pointed at by Duan Xipeng, he was sweating profusely, and even swelled like a pig's liver, stuttering and unable to speak. The body also suddenly became more fatigued.

   In case you annoy the person in front of you, won't you be beaten into a hornet's nest if you give an order?

  But I have already been pushed to this scene, how can I get off the stage? Just leave in such a disheveled manner with your tail between your legs, how will you meet people after you go back?

  And the people behind couldn’t agree, because they took five hundred taels of silver from them.

  The group of people behind him were also agitated, obviously frightened by the formation in front of the governor's yamen.

  Why are you so unruly? Don't say anything else, just join the shoot-to-kill battle as soon as we come, we are just ordered to petition, we have no other intentions, we didn't see us making a fuss in the Dusi Yamen, and we didn't say smashing the door into the house Ah, why come to your place, it becomes the treatment of killing officials and rebelling?

  Can't you just come out and say a few words casually to appease?

  It’s really not good, you also come to make a bed in the middle of the night—don’t care, everyone can get by. Is it necessary to pull out such a big battle so that everyone can’t get off the stage?

Now that this kind of formation has been put on, no matter how bad it is, you have to bite the bullet. The general came out tremblingly, clasped his fists and saluted: "My lord, we are the brothers of Xi'an Defender. Brothers are not trying to make trouble Son, it’s not about rebellion, it’s really forced by life, there’s nothing we can do, we went to the Dusi Yamen, but the Dusi Yamen closed its doors and closed its doors and ignored it. We also came to the Governor’s Yamen to beg for grace from the adults because of helplessness. "

"Grace?" Seeing the other party's attitude, Duan Xipeng felt even more confident, and sneered, "Is there such a person who comes to the governor's yamen with a spear and a knife to intimidate the superior, but says he is asking for grace? Your superior is the governor's yamen, where is it?" In charge of your place, the governor's yamen is the center of a province, so you **** can come here to yell at you at will?"

   "My lord, but the people in the Dusi Yamen don't want to see us." The boss was anxious, "You must give us a chance to tell the governor the inside story?"

"Hmph, the governor has a lot of things to deal with every day. Even the prefects and prefects below need to send a sticker to report and arrange the time in advance. How can ordinary people like you follow their opinions? There are tens of millions of people in Shaanxi, not everyone can come to ask for an interview. If you don’t do other things, you can’t finish it! I would like to advise you, if you have any grievances, you can file a letter to the Dusi Yamen, and if you are dissatisfied with the Dusi Yamen, you can also go to the Procuratorate. Others are evil!" Duan Xipeng said impatiently: "Okay, I have talked to you so much, I also saw that you are all members of the guards, now I will give you a stick of incense time, immediately return to the barracks, Otherwise, I will be regarded as a rebel and will be shot to death!"

   "Burning incense!"

   Immediately, someone brought an incense burner, lit the incense, and placed it on the side of the governor's office.

   This is really pushing the envelope.

   Without any room for maneuver, you just lit the incense so unreasonably, ordering you to return to the barracks immediately.

  Duan Xipeng wanted to use this method to force the other party not to back down. If the governor came out to appease them, they would really back down. Wouldn't it be a waste of waiting for such a long time for such an opportunity?

That guy was always forced to blush, his ears were red and his head was sweating profusely, and the people behind him kept clamoring for the governor to come and see him, but it became a dead end for him, people simply ignored you, you If you dare to approach within thirty steps, maybe they really dare to shoot?

   "My lord, your official prestige is too great. We are all living as soldiers. If we have a grievance, we will go to the governor to appeal, but you have such an attitude. You really don't treat us brothers as human beings!"

  President Li gritted his teeth and used other people's money to eliminate disasters for others. He collected five hundred taels of silver.

"Our more than a thousand brothers have to see the governor today. As long as the governor shows up and gives us an explanation, no matter what he says, our brothers will turn around and leave, but if the governor refuses to show up and give us an explanation. Then our more than a thousand brothers will be left here, let's kill and cut, we all recognize it!"

  Duan Xipeng was really amused, it was a mutiny there, he just came here to play hooligans, why did the frontier army in Datong Town make a mutiny like this? It's a shame to be a soldier!

   "Hey, you still put your nose on your face. If you give you some color, you will start a dyeing workshop." Duan Xipeng's face changed, and his voice became stern: "There is only one incense stick, if you don't leave, don't blame me for being rude!"

The general manager rolled his eyes and shouted: "Brothers, we just want an explanation from the governor. Isn't this a violation of the rules of heaven? We are wasting our money today, and the governor will not give us an explanation. , the governor's yamen didn't give us an explanation, where is there any place for us brothers to seek justice that day? Brothers, sit down! Didn't the official say 30 steps? We are at least 50 steps away from here. Just sit here and beg the governor to make the decision, is that okay? If they want to kill or cut, let them go, anyway, let's not do anything!"

  The chief executive sat down with a slap in the ass, still reluctant: "We don't believe that we are blocked here, what can they do to us!"

With the general leading the way, the noisy group of guard soldiers also sat down laughing, and the swords, shields and spears in their hands were also thrown aside, and they didn't plan to do anything at first. It's just to let Yinzi come and make a fuss, and it's just to gather the number of people.

  Seeing this situation, the soldiers all looked at each other in blank dismay, how could such a thing happen?

Duan Xipeng also couldn't laugh or cry, but the more he encountered this kind of thing, the more he couldn't give in. He didn't believe that this group of changeable and untrained bad soldiers could really do it. , they will not be reduced to this.

  Duan Xipeng was thinking about how to deal with it, but when he saw the governor come out, he went straight to him, and whispered a few words in his ear, Duan Xipeng immediately felt at ease.

  The vanguard of the Guyuan Army has already arrived outside the city, and they are about to enter the city for a rest.

  Since this is the case, let them do what they want.

   "Array, according to the gun!"

  Duan Xipeng's rough voice sounded, and the soldiers who had already formed conditioned reflexes immediately took a step forward, armed with guns, and occasionally there were a few who were in a hurry, and they all quickly returned to normal after being reprimanded by the corps leader.

"go ahead!"

  The rows of soldiers in the dark immediately stepped forward without hesitation.

  The atmosphere in the open space in front of the governor's yamen suddenly became dignified, and the guard soldiers at the other end immediately panicked and clamored. What is this going to do?

  Duan Xipeng had no expression on his face, but his voice was extremely high-pitched: "Ten steps forward!"

  The soldiers advanced in a dense manner, and stood still after ten steps.

   "Ten steps forward!"

   Another ten steps, thirty steps away.

  Seeing a group of guard soldiers who had panicked, Duan Xipeng had a strange smile on his lips, "Aim the gun, aim!"

   Some of the soldiers of the guards had already got up, some were at a loss, some were fighting, and some simply turned their heads and ran away.

   "Thirty steps have arrived, if you don't leave, I will give the order to fire! Three, two, one!"

  Barely waiting for the guards to react, Duan Xipeng waved his hand violently, "Fire!"

  Thirty firecrackers fired at the same time, and the muffled sounds of countless "bang!"s mixed into a dull loud sound with a delay effect, mixed with the unpleasant gunpowder smoke and dispersed.

"ah!"

"Help!"

   "Run, these thieves dare to shoot!"

   "Run!"

  Amidst the howling of ghosts and wolves, the guard soldiers, who had already been terrified, couldn't care about anything else, and suddenly swarmed towards the rear.

   Fortunately, there is an open field behind, otherwise, the stampede alone would have caused many casualties.

   More than a thousand soldiers and soldiers of the rebellious army seemed to be swept away by dead branches and leaves, leaving only a field of broken shoes and boots, and a few sporadic people who were injured and trampled, howling there.
