Chapter 79 Going to Liaodong again (2)
Gao Shixin smiled and pointed at a child who looked about six or seven years old and said to Xiong Tingbi: "Mr. Xiong, in fact, just give him a three-eyed gun or a bird gun, and shoot at a close distance, so that the young child can kill a Jiannu white-armored soldier!"
"Face-shot?" Xiong Tingbi was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what it meant. "I understand, Gao Baihu, what you mean is that the firearm hand is close to Jiannu's face? The close-range firearm is indeed accurate and powerful. But can these children be calm in the face? My Ming Dynasty is not lacking firearms, but every time Jiannu attacks, he shoots light arrows at us from afar. When we see Jiannu shooting arrows, our firearm hand becomes messy and we fire guns randomly. The firearm loads slowly, and after firing the gun, there is no chance. Jiannu takes the opportunity to approach. My Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers will not be shot when they are approached by Jiannu."
Gao Shixin said: "The last general should train a team that dares to fight with Jiannu in close combat, block the front with hand-to-hand combat soldiers, and shoot close-range behind the hand-to-hand combat soldiers with firearms, which can deal with Jiannu."
The firearms of this era are either mesh guns or fire door guns. Don’t expect any three-stage strikes. The firearm hands cannot be arranged even in dense line formations, because whether it is a mesh gun or a fire door gun, the formation is too dense, which will affect the loading of ammunition between the left and right comrades. Therefore, the best way is to shoot with faces instead of three-stage strikes and five-stage strikes.
What is needed is someone to protect the firearm hands so that the firearm hands can shoot the Later Jin soldiers at close range with peace of mind.
As for bayonets and other things, that is the next plan. Now, let’s just use the spear soldiers honestly.
Xiong Tingbi said: "The court has issued an edict. We will set out early tomorrow morning to go to Liaodong! In addition, if you go to the Jinyiwei and take a team of Tiqi to Liaodong, Yang Hao will finally be arrested and imprisoned! Hahaha!"
In the afternoon, Zhou Yuji also returned from Liaodong. He took his mother and five strong men who were willing to follow him to the capital from Liaodong. He asked people and found Gao Shixin's camp.
"Brother, you are here!" Gao Shixin came to meet him excitedly and patted Zhou Yuji on the shoulder, "But, after you settle your mother, we will set off on Liaodong again."
Then Gao Shixin took Zhou Yuji and his mother back to his home in the country, and arranged Zhou Yuji's mother in his house, so that he would have his own old mother, Huang Degong's mother and Zhou Yuji's mother. These three middle-aged women lived together and had a companion.
"Mom, the child will go to war tomorrow morning and will go to Liaodong. This time, it may take more than a year to come back, or even two or three years to return to the capital." Gao Shixin said goodbye to his mother.
"What should I do if Miss Yue'er?" Gao's mother asked.
"She must not get married so soon. When I come back, I will propose marriage to her." Gao Shixin said.
After saying goodbye to Gao's mother, Gao Shixin asked Zhou Yuji to go back to the military camp first, and then went to the gate of the Forbidden City, and asked those who were guarding the door outside to report to Zhang Yong and Wei Zhongxian. After receiving the notice, the two immediately claimed leave to Zhu Youxiao and left the palace to meet Gao Shixin.
"I'm going to Liaodong again tomorrow? Brother, you finally came back from Liaodong and are you going to go to war again? Can't you stay in the capital and be your Jinyiwei?" Zhang Yong asked.
Gao Shixin replied: "I also need some military achievements before promotion. This time I followed Xiong Jingluo to Liaodong, which is a good opportunity to make contributions. I guess a few battles can be fought to harvest another batch of Jiannu's heads, and I just happened to get it back to ask for merit."
The three of them went to find Xu Xianchun, invited him to have dinner together, and said a few words.
Unexpectedly, when Xu Xianchun saw Gao Shixin, he smiled and said, "I'm just about to find you, but you came to the door in person. Just so happen, I will allocate you a team of more than 100 Jinyiwei Tikai, and you will also take it to Liaodong. One to protect Xiong Jingluo, and the other to capture Yang Hao and return to Beijing. The imperial edict to capture the criminal Yang Hao has been in the hands of Xiong Jingluo."
Gao Shixin also felt a little emotional in his heart. He remembered the first time he saw Yang Hao. At that time, Yang Hao was still a high-ranking official, and his immediate superior. Unexpectedly, half a year later, he went to capture Yang Hao's Jinyiwei.
The four of them arrived at a restaurant. Zhang Yong and the others set up a wine for Gao Shixin, wishing him a success and a victory.
After using the banquet, Gao Shixin followed Xu Xianchun to the Jinyiwei Yamen to take over his brothers.
More than a hundred Jinyiwei were ready to leave the city. The two general flags and ten small flags led by the team wore wingless black hats, big red flying fish suits, embroidered spring swords on their waists, and rode white horses, looking majestic; the other Jinyiwei lieutenants were also riding horses, and the lieutenants wore pointed iron helmets, iron armor, and embroidered spring swords on their waists. The weapons used were different. Some carried crossbow machines, some carried bows and arrows, and some used long spears. These were the Jinyiwei tiqi who were preparing to capture criminals.
Xu Xianchun said: "I'll leave this Baiti Knight to you. Let them go out of the city before the city gate is closed. Tomorrow morning, we will set out with Xiong Zhengluo and your team."
"Xu Qianhu, they are your people. You won't go to Liaodong with you?" Gao Shixin asked.
"No, Your Majesty's imperial edict, only let you take Tiqi and accompany Xiong to Liaodong. The imperial edict did not let Xu go. Since Your Majesty did not let Xu go, it is hard to say that Xu went with you. We are all doing things for Your Majesty. Just listen to Your Majesty, we will do whatever Your Majesty asks us to do." Xu Xianchun said.
Gao Shixin took more than a hundred Jinyiwei cavalry out of Chaoyang Gate and returned to the barracks.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived at the barracks, I saw Xiong Tingbi and a group of soldiers he brought with me had been waiting in the barracks for a long time.
"Jinluo Xiong, won't you leave early tomorrow morning? Why are you here too?" Gao Shixin stepped forward and bowed.
Xiong Tingbi stroked his beard and smiled, "I will stay in the barracks tonight and head to Liaodong early tomorrow morning. Otherwise, I would have to open the city gate and leave the city early tomorrow morning, which would disturb others' rest."
Gao Shixin looked at the soldiers standing behind Xiong Tingbi and asked, "The soldiers Xiong Zhengluo are really good soldiers!"
"They are all elites whom I want from Datong. They fight with the Tartars (Mongols) all year round, and each one is a top-notch player, and everyone can take ten." Xiong Tingbi smiled with a proud touch of beard.
Gao Shixin carefully looked at the more than ten tall soldiers and found that each of these soldiers was well-armed and the weapons they used were the best. Each of them showed a murderous aura. At a glance, he knew that the elite veterans who had experienced many battles and had a lot of human blood on their hands.
"Come on, you have met Gao Baihu!" Xiong Tingbi said to the personal soldiers.
"As a noble family, a group of personal soldiers came forward to salute.
But Gao Shixin only remembers these few words: "The humble position Cao Wenzhao joined Gao Baihu!"
"Cao Wenzhao?" Gao Shixin was shocked and looked at the man who looked like a black iron tower in front of him, "Okay! OK! What a warrior!"
After saying that, Gao Shixin turned to Xiong Tingbi: "Jinluo Xiong, this soldier is so good! I wonder if Xiongluo can give up this brother to the last general?"
Xiong Tingbi laughed: "Huang Degong, Zhou Yuji, and Kong Youde around you are all heroes who choose from thousands of miles apart. You are not satisfied yet, and you still want to ask me for someone? Tell you, don't give it!"
Since Xiong Tingbi refused to let go, Gao Shixin had to put away his intentions of trying to recruit Cao Wenzhao. However, Xiong Tingbi said another sentence: "Since you are the person you like Gao Baihu, it must be bad! This soldier named Cao Wenzhao will definitely be valued!"
