Chapter 23 Killing the chicken to scare the monkey

[Recite the URL three times silently. Do you remember it? If not, I will ask again in the next chapter. It is best to share it on Facebook for me]

"What do you think?" Qin Hao asked after sending Gu Cheng away.

Now it is basically confirmed that there are three fire guns in Gujiazhuang. You should know that the power of fire guns is not small. If you are hit, it is almost a dead end. No matter how thick the armor of the soldiers is, they can't defend against it.

Qin Hao just wants to see if these people under his command have any ideas. For a while, he is not in a hurry to put forward his own views.

"It's all up to you." Zhuge Xuan, Li Yi, and Li Guo shook their heads. They are not very good at martial arts as before.

"Chen Hu, what about you?" Qin Hao kicked the ball out.

"Sir, I don't think you need to take this musket too seriously."

Chen Hu raised his head and said, "I have seen the firearms of the Ming border army. Most of them cannot fire. Even if they can fire, the gunpowder they are loaded with is not very powerful, and ordinary armor can block it.

Not to mention the centurions of Nanzhili, I think..."

Before Chen Hu finished speaking, Qin Hao raised his right hand to interrupt him and said, "I know that the Ming military is lax, but I can't gamble the safety of the soldiers on this illusory luck."

Qin Hao knew what Chen Hu meant. He was sure that the muskets of Gujiazhuang were not good products. Even if they were hit by iron armor, they would not die.

But what Qin Hao was really worried about was the treatment problem. You know, lead bullets and gunpowder are poisonous. Now Qin Hao has no medical staff, and he can't even treat ordinary sword injuries, let alone gunshot injuries.

Nord guards, Shuntian death warriors, Alai archers, and Liaodong cavalry lined up on one side, waiting for His Highness to give the order. But at this time, the people who were discussing had fallen into silence.

Sensing that something was wrong, Qin Hao confided the method he had just learned to several people. He didn't want this mission to end in vain. Not only did he fail to establish prestige, but he also lost the precious French musketeers.

"Attack with fire."

Li Yi, standing aside, finally had a chance to say something, and immediately praised: "Your Highness, it's a good idea."

Zhuge Xuan nodded silently on the side. He also thought this was a good idea. There were many mountains and trees nearby, and it was midsummer. The weather was dry and it was easy to start a fire.

As long as the fire burned to the earth wall, it would take a few moments of roasting, and the earth wall would inevitably collapse, which would catch him off guard, and the musket would not be able to do anything.

"Fire attack." Chen Hu muttered in private for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up, looking at Qin Hao with hope.

Qin Hao knew that he had a better idea, and he did not feel jealous. He wished that there were more talents under his command, so he pretended to be angry and said, "If you have a better idea, just say it. Do you think I am narrow-minded?"

"Your Highness, please forgive me."

Chen Hu stood up and begged Qin Hao for mercy, and then pointed directly at the earth wall and said, "Fire attack is good, but I think we can add smoke.

Your Highness, please see, if you use fire attack, you must send people to put firewood next to the earth wall. At that time, the fire gun will be high above, which is not worth the loss.

But with the addition of smoke, the problem can be solved. First, you can put the firewood in place while the smoke is in the right place. Second, you can interfere with the line of sight, choke their nasal cavity, force them out, and then you can catch them all in one fell swoop."

"Hahaha"

Hearing Chen Hu's idea, Qin Hao laughed heartily.

Confucius does not lie: When three people walk together, there must be one teacher.

Fire attack + smoke, this battle is sure to win.

Since the battle plan has been decided, there is no time to lose. Qin Hao asked Chen Hu and others to take charge of this matter, and he watched how this good show unfolded in the central army.

"Why don't they attack yet?" The Gu family member of the earth wall looked at the fire gun in his hand and said, "I can't wait for this treasure."

He touched the fire gun like caressing a beauty. He used the fire gun given by Gu Qing at the beginning. When he first came here, he killed several bandits who came to rob, so he cherished it very much.

Therefore, he didn't care about the enemy he was fighting this time. With the fire gun in his hand, he would definitely kill a few people this time, and then he would get more rewards. This is what Gu Qing promised every time he fought.

Many young men around him had such thoughts. With this earth wall, they didn't know how many bandits they had killed, and they were full of confidence.

Gu Qing didn't hear the whispers of the people next to him. He stared at the army in the distance. He didn't have the ambition and ambition at the beginning. He said silently: I just hope I can beat them back.

Gu Qing had led the army before, and he knew how to evaluate the strength of the army.

The orders were followed and no action was taken without orders;

The army was well-equipped and the morale was high;

Although the army outside the earth wall was small in number, it had met the requirements of a strong army. Now Gu Qing was secretly trembling in his heart.

But he couldn't reveal a bit. Even if he died, I would let you know how powerful I was. Even if you were powerful, it didn't matter. If you didn't fight, the outcome was still unknown. Thinking of this, he felt much better, and a sense of pride and ambition surged in his heart.

He shouted to the people around him: "We will win this battle!"

The morale of the children of the Gu family suddenly increased, and they cheered.

At the same time, Qin Hao's preparations were almost done. With a command, the soldiers took action.

A thick layer of hay was spread outside the earth wall. A little spark was raised, and a big fire was immediately ignited. Chen Hu commanded the soldiers to keep spreading another layer on the burning hay to cover it with ash, and then arranged for a part of the soldiers to keep fanning with the broad leaves they brought.

It's a coincidence that when the Gujiazhuang was built, it was built downwind. In this way, the smoke and dust naturally drifted into the earthen wall with the wind, and it didn't take long for the Gujiazhuang to disappear in the thick smoke.

"It's done." Qin Hao also saw the result without waiting for Chen Hu to come back to report. It was unexpectedly perfect.

It is estimated that all the people in Gujiazhuang can be forced out without even using fire attacks.

"Let Chen Hu decide whether to attack with fire." Qin Hao immediately asked the soldiers to inform Chen Hu. All he had to do now was wait.

Sure enough, Chen Hu also saw the embarrassment of Gujiazhuang. Many people had already ran out. He immediately gave up the fire attack and ordered soldiers to guard the exit of the earth wall.

No matter who comes out, they will be inspected. The women will rush aside and ignore them, and the men will remove their weapons and take care of them.

"Ahem!" The gunman was so smoked that he burst into tears. He ran to Gu Qing and reported, "Brother Gu, it's not good. Everyone in the village ran out, and many people sneaked out on the earthen wall."

Several people around him also rushed to Gu Qing's side and asked anxiously: "Yes, Brother Gu, what should we do?"

Gu Qing looked at the people around him and slapped his thigh angrily. When the war just started, there were fifty or sixty people around him, but now there are only these few left. How can they fight?

This strange road made Gu Qing decide to make a desperate move. He looked at a few people and shouted: "Come out and fight them!"

"Okay, everyone rush!"

"kill"

Just as a few people rushed out of the door, a cold light flashed, and everyone's head fell to the ground. Suncheon's dead man had been waiting at the door for a long time. Hearing the shouts of killing from several people, he immediately drew out his sword and killed them.

Gu Qing and others came out with the will to fight to the death. They were completely unprepared and were killed in panic.

One knife after another. Anyway, as long as he is still alive, he will definitely receive many knives. Shuntian Death Soldier is so cruel and bloodthirsty.

The musketeer didn't fire a single lead bullet until he died, but the blood all over his body soaked into his treasure.

Gu Qing did not receive such an encounter. Qin Hao had ordered him to deal with it himself. As soon as he came out, he was knocked unconscious by the elbow of Shuntian Death Soldier.

When Gu Qing woke up again, he found that he was tied with hemp rope and fell on a high platform. When he got up, he found that there were people below, including people from Gujiazhuang and villagers from nearby villages.

At this time, a voice came from behind: "It can be said that I regret what happened today!"

Gu Qing knelt on the ground, without looking back, and said arrogantly: "A man should make contributions while he is still alive, why should he be afraid of death! I deserve to die today because my skills are inferior to others!"

Qin Hao's blood boiled when he heard his lofty words, and he said "Okay, okay, okay" three times in a row: "I will personally kill you today, so that you, a hero, will not live in vain."

"Okay, come on!"

"Wait a moment, there's no rush."

Qin Hao stood behind Gu Qing leaning on his knife. He was waiting for someone, and Gu Qing also had someone to see.

After a while, Gu Chengman climbed onto the high platform with tears in his eyes, knelt in front of Gu Qing, and choked with sobs: "Brother, dad said, you can go without worries."

"Yeah." Gu Qing couldn't help but feel sad. He said to take care of the family and then bowed his head and waited for death.

Qin Hao also came and wanted to wait. Zhuge asked him to say a few words.

Qin Hao nodded indifferently, raised his saber, swung it down, and said: "Today, I will kill the traitor Gu Qing and start the seventh year tomorrow, as a warning to others."
