There are really few eunuchs fighting from the palace who don’t know how much they have.

As for Li Kui's identity, this guy is a Jinshi. What else can he be dissatisfied with if he gives Hao Sui a qualifier to resist the enemy?

What's more, Li Kui has the relationship between royal relatives. Although the low-end royal relatives are not considered a big shot in the capital of the Song Dynasty. The princes and princes of the Song Dynasty are mostly unpopular in the capital, let alone a royal relative? But the problem is that Li Kui is different. The brother-in-law of the virtuous concubine, that is, the emperor's brother-in-law, is enough to see this relationship.

But the emperor changed the most to the palace to the Virtue, and the Virtue's father, Taiwei Liu, regarded Li Kui as his own son...

As he thought about it, Hao Sui didn't think he had any qualifications to ask Li Kui to give him the capital to resist the enemy. If something happened to Li Kui, Hao Sui would not only not be able to get rid of the relationship, but also faced the thunderous wrath from the emperor.

When Li Kui comes to the northwest, he is really not demoted.

There is nothing we can do.

The emperor had never intended to arrange for Li Kui any county magistrates in Yangquan County. How could Zhao Xu show how much Zhao Xu valued Li Kui from his ninth rank? After all, he should have given a magistrate's future. But if Empress Dowager Xiang didn't allow it, it would be in the hands of me. In fact, Empress Dowager Xiang wanted to kill Li Kui with a bowl of poison, but unfortunately he didn't have a chance.

Therefore, the emperor arranged for Hao Sui and Li Kui to come to the northwest with only one purpose. The county magistrate is too young, and he can bully him as a poor person as an official in the officialdom. Hao Sui's appearance was to ask him to help take care of Li Kui, so that Li Kui would not be wronged.

Hao Sui pinched the crane head red hidden in his clothes, and felt a lot of emotion. He could not be captured, especially by foreign races. The army supervisors of the Song Dynasty had never had a precedent for being captured by foreign races. It was absolutely impossible to be his turn. If he was captured, the fate would definitely be so tragic that he could not imagine. Once he was in a dead end, Hao Sui had to choose to commit suicide and had no other way.

Of course, crane head red is not the venom on the head of the crane head, but arsenic. However, high-purity arsenic will appear dark red, so it is called crane head red. I don’t know where this thing is found elsewhere, but there is definitely no shortage in the palace.

Facing Li Kui, he said: "Eunuch Hao is safe to go to Sanchuankou. As long as I, Li Kui, are there, the Dangxiang people will never catch up with you."

"I'm sorry for being awesome. Our family has recorded it. Please take care of others. Keep the green mountains here and don't be afraid of burning fire." Hao Sui just pointed Li Kui gently. If Li Kui reaches a desperate situation, he may not necessarily have to kill Shengren. Li Kui is alive and live well, this is his most important thing.

This is also why Hao Sui wanted to coax Li Kui.

If a ninth-rank sesame official dared to commit suicide in front of Hao Sui with such no vision, he would have jumped up and cursed. Even when he was in a bad mood, he would not be able to beat the board.

But facing Li Kui, Hao Sui could only accept Li Kui's arrangement. The cavalry gave Hao Sui two hundred, and Li Kui left three hundred. This was also what Hao Sui agreed. After all, Li Kui was open-minded. No matter how much Hao Sui cherished his life, he would not dare to cause trouble for Li Kui at this critical moment. He did not bring the infantry, but took away many captured Xixia horses, more than a thousand. In addition, the guards recruited by Hao Sui himself, each knight could be divided into five horses.

If so many spare horses are targeted to rob, as long as the army has enough combat effectiveness, there is no need to be too many, and it can be fought from the Song Dynasty to Europe.

In fact, this is how the Mongols later went to Europe to bully people.

After seeing Hao Sui off, Li Kui was finally able to tell Gao Qiu what he thought was.

For Gao Qiu, he must go to the battlefield. If he does not go to the battlefield, he will not have any military achievements. It is not impossible for a general who has no military achievements to be promoted to Taiwei. But there must be a prerequisite - his family background is good enough.

Unfortunately, Gao Qiu's family background has no other use except inspiring him to struggle.

"Okay, Renjie, now you should talk about your thoughts, right?" Gao Qiu couldn't help but ask. It was already very difficult.

Unlike Hao Sui, Gao Qiu's understanding of Li Kui was based on the experience accumulated through years of life. They lived under Su Shi for more than two years, and it was the most important two years of Li Kui's growth. Gao Qiu naturally concluded that Li Kui had a big plan, but because of Hao Sui, a useless guy, was delayed.

It cannot be said that it was delayed, it was just not said.

Seeing this, Li Kui picked a firewood from the bonfire that was about to be extinguished and began to write and draw on the ground: "This is a valley, where the Dangxiang people used to store war horses, cattle and sheep. Now there are still many cattle and sheep, and there are enough war horses for each of us to have one left. If we want to leave now, we will definitely be able to arrive at Sanchuankou within two days. But don't you think this place is very suitable for a battlefield?"

"Battlefield?" If Gao Qiu talks about Cuju, he can tell the story, but it will be hard to say when fighting. Although he has spent a lot of effort to learn, if he really goes to the battlefield with real swords and guns, he will definitely be confused.

Li Kui pointed to the river beach and explained to Gao Qiu: "Look at the terrain, the river beach and the river bay are surrounded by it, with valleys on the edge, small at both ends and large in the middle. If I hadn't had few people in my hands, if there were 30,000 or 50,000, I would have wished to trap the 100,000 Xixia army here. If the Dangxiang people's army had already trapped Jinmingzhai, this place would have sent heavy troops to guard it."

"Of course, it's because the Dangxiang people don't pay attention to it, so we have left a chance. Now the opportunity is rare, and I'm going to do a vote here. Look at this place, there is no advantage in cavalry fighting, and there is no problem with hundreds of people fighting, but it's difficult for thousands of people. Without cavalry sprints and detours, cavalry is just infantry riding horses, even worse than infantry."

"But we are different. We are infantry and we are fully prepared..."

Li Kui said quickly, but Gao Qiu couldn't help but interrupt Li Kui and said, "Renjie, you said we are fully prepared, why don't I know?"

As the chief general of the infantry, Gao Qiu certainly had reason to question Li Kui's nonsense. His infantry had replaced some weapons in the arsenal of Jingzhao Prefecture. Now they are three-meter-long spear, shield, hand knife, crossbow, and gunpowder. I don't know why this equipment is used... In Gao Qiu's eyes, there is no sign of victory.

Li Kui said angrily: "Milt gun, have you forgotten the musket?"

"Is that thing reliable?"

Gao Qiu fell into suspicion. It is said that he shouldn't have doubted the ability of his good brothers, but the problem is that he just couldn't help it. The bronze musket made by Li Kui and the granular black gunpowder ordered craftsmen to re-dry them, which cost a lot. In other words, Hao Sui and Li Kui came to the rescue, otherwise, there would be no such novel things.

But the musket less than 100 kilograms looks like an enlarged bamboo tube, with the thickness of the bowl. After filling the gunpowder, it is added with fine velvet to press it tightly, and then it is filled with a large amount of gravel, iron balls, etc.

The noise was very loud when firing the cannon. Although it did not reach Li Kui's fantasy of the earth, it was at least the level of thunder thunder on the ground.

Li Kui had high hopes for this new weapon. Not only that, he also devoted great enthusiasm. He personally fired the cannon, but the effect was not visible, but it seemed to be good.

Structurally speaking, this is still the category of muskets.

Li Kui's improved muskets are definitely much stronger than those like the rifle. The lethality of rockets that are not useful is real. The only thing they lack is actual combat.

If you have not experienced the test of iron and blood on the battlefield, any new weapon will be questioned.

In order to give the soldiers confidence, Li Kui decided to practice in close combat.

Of course, the training of the Musket Squad is not without, but very strict. Under Li Kui's attention, no soldier dared to be lazy. However, the lethality of the Musket has never been verified by physical objects.

Once there is enough verification, I am afraid that the soldiers will be full of confidence without him saying it.

Thinking of this, Li Kui immediately decided to train troops.

Gao Qiu was frightened by Li Kui's actions of sharpening his guns in the face of battle, but he was helpless. His army was nominally the leader, but he really thought he could take care of everything, so that would be a bit whimsical.

Facing Li Kui's arrogant expression, Gao Qiu said helplessly: "Renjie, you can practice it if you say you want to practice, but there should be a charter. How to practice it?"

"Use cow!"

Li Kui had already thought of a solution.

A large part of the supply of Dangxiang people was living things. Cattle and sheep were the food that Dangxiang people had the least shortage. Li Kui had many cattle in his hands, and in total, there were thousands of them. Of course, cows were an important source of dairy products, and Dangxiang people were reluctant to kill too much. The meat seized was more sheep.

Unfortunately, Li Kui really couldn't do it by using a gun-sized musket to bully the sheep.

The number of Niu Meng is about fifty.

There are many types of cattle. There are three common types in the East: the scalpers in the Central Plains are not big, weighing five or six hundred pounds, and have small horns, which are not much bigger than horses, but they are easy to plow, smart and hardworking. There are also common buffaloes in the south, and the buffaloes are much larger, and the size of more than two thousand pounds is not without them. Such a large body cattle have thick skin and thick flesh, and have bad tempers. They probably cannot do anything to them. There are also the grassland cattle common in the grassland, with large horns and slender, and their physiques are between the yellow cattle and the buffalo, and their tempers are not as strong as those in the grassland.

In short, after fifty cows were brought in, they were all enclosed in the open space.

All the soldiers looked at it with their necks, and they thought it was quite novel. On weekdays, musket training is more about loading training, so don’t think about firing firecrackers, because gunpowder is not enough to make Li Kui spend unlimitedly.

Of course, there is no actual combat training, but it is all empty cannons and lacks an intuitive understanding of the lethality of the musket.

Finally, he caught the live creature and killed the musket soldiers were very excited. When Li Kui was supervising the musket, he had already weighed the gunpowder and stored it in small bags. Each bag was a quantity at one time.

Just fill the gunpowder into the musket, press it tightly, and put it in the filling that holds breath, and finally there are small iron and stones with huge lethality.

Because it is not a practical battle, don’t think about small iron blocks, and use crushed stones on the river beach as ammunition.

After a row of ten muskets were placed, they were placed on a bracket, and the muzzles were aimed at the cows not far away. Seeing that the sky was pitiful, the cows had no idea what they were going to face. They were still chewing the hay ruminating in their stomachs, staring at the muskets curiously with their eyes.

The black-black guns of the ten muskets aimed at the poor live cows. Li Kui didn't want to create any tiger squat cannons. The weapon half buried in the soil was too backward. He was a person who had seen the world. If he had made such a primitive hot weapon, he could not afford to lose this person. All muskets had two short wheels and a simple cannon stand, which were usually split and placed on a pack horse, and were temporarily assembled during wars. There was no requirement for accuracy, and this simple structure was easy to build.

Ammunition is shotgun. If a musket is classified, it should be a mortar with a large number of killing and dense formations. The cavalry's rushing is definitely within its range of killing.

But the gunner was a little bit hurt and could only squat on the ground, with long spears above his head and shield soldiers beside him.

According to Li Kui's understanding of thermal weapons, when cannons are insufficient, cold weapons are needed, especially long-pole cold weapons, to earn time for cannon loading.

That's what the spearmen are like.

What they were responsible for was to block the rushing cavalry when the musket was loading. After the musket was fired, the musket soldiers pulled the musket and retreated into the formation, and then launched another attack after loading. Therefore, the musket soldiers loaded and attacked in the cracks, and there was insufficient space, which may be their biggest difficulty.

Of course, under such a formation, even if the cavalry attacked from the back of the gun soldiers were frightened, they would not be able to escape. There were people around them, and they could not run away even if they wanted to.

After preparing, Li Kui ordered: "Prepare!"

The moment the flag slogan was raised, the cannon leader roared: "Don't mess around, according to what you train on weekdays, if anyone runs around, I will kill him!"

Each gunner's instructions were different, but his tone was very different.

"fire!"

boom--

boom--

boom--

The fire guns were lit at the same time, and soon, balls of flames and thick smoke filled the army's formation, and the cattle used as tests were even more shrouded in it. The attack distance of thirty steps was very suitable for the maximum effect of the shotgun weapon.

Moo—

The frightened cow was heard, and then the cow that could not tell the direction was completely unmatched. The frightened cow rushed forward, and several of them even rushed towards the musket position. Even Gao Qiu was startled by such a change. He rode his horse and was about to rush forward, shouting: "Come and kill with a crossbow!"

But Li Kui grabbed the reins of Gao Qiu's war horse and said confidently: "Don't worry."

"Renjie, the Dangxiang people have not arrived yet. If we have suffered heavy losses, how can we fight this battle?"

Gao Qiu was really anxious. The infantry were all Gao Qiu's subordinates. After all, Gao Qiu became a bare general. What about Li Kui? This guy is not a general at all. If Gao Qiu's subordinates are killed, he can pat his butt and leave and become his county lieutenant. But Gao Qiu was defeated.

The next scene relieved Gao Qiu a lot. The cow rushing to the musket position was pushed by a spear. It was also an acceptable loss to break a few gun rods. But all this made Gao Qiu feel a little surprised. Even the cow could hold it. Where was the horse?

Wouldn't it be easier?

Then the school came to report with good news: "Sir, General, more than a dozen cows fell to the ground, most of them would not survive. After running for a while, Commander Li sent someone to chase them, and a few of them were stabbed to death. The musket was really as Lord said, with the power of heaven and earth."

Li Kui thought to himself: "I had known it before, so I would have to say it?"
