Chapter 2181 The Gui scroll breaks the gallbladder and the pig breaks out

After arriving in Xi'an for so long, Feng Ziying's soldiers have already been transformed. In addition to the traditional spearmen and sword and shield men, a group of eighty gunmen has been armed.

 Except for some veterans of Fire Guns, most of them are still new recruits. However, the non-stop training during this period has allowed them to grow up rapidly. Under the leadership of the veterans, they are already able to set up a decent formation.

Since he is his own soldier and is protecting his life, Feng Ziying will certainly not be stingy with his investment.

They are all self-generated fire guns, with faster firing speed and more accurate interval. They come with a sleeve bayonet for three-stage long-range combat. The melee sleeve bayonet is transformed into a spear hand, which can greatly reduce the number of long weapons used to protect them. With the number of spearmen and sword and shield wielders, the mainstream status of fire gunmen has become more and more prominent.

This latest model has begun to be promoted in the Northwest Army, Liaodong Army, and Jizhen Army. However, the high price of self-generated fire guns has limited large-scale promotion, so several towns have simply changed to the model of ordinary fire guns with sleeves and bayonets. .

It is nothing more than the speed of the three-stage attack being slower, but under the thick formation brought by abundant troops, the power released is not much worse than that of the rebel army, Mongols and Jurchens who are far inferior to themselves.

Accompanied by Duan Xipeng's sharp and sonorous roar, ninety gunmen had already lined up to load and take aim under the protection of the spearmen in front.

This group of Ziwei soldiers had never seen this kind of formation before. Although they had never fought before, they still knew that the black thing like a fire stick was not really a fire stick.

They all knew that the governor's yamen soldiers practiced shooting at the school grounds every day. They saw the smashed wooden rafts being carried out from across the mountain. Some of them had also seen them, as if they were wearing silk armor and Mingguang armor. It can't withstand the bombardment of this kind of firearm, but it is much stronger than that crude three-eyed fire blunderbuss.

When Duan Xipeng pointed his finger at him, he was sweating profusely, and Lian Geng was as swollen as a pig's liver. He was stammering and speechless. The previous arrogant and arrogant aura was instantly wiped away. My body suddenly felt a lot tired.

If you offend the person in front of you and give the order, wouldn't you be beaten into a hornet's nest?

 But I have been pushed into this situation, how can I get off the stage? If you just leave with your tail between your legs in such a dejected manner, how will you meet people when you return?

And the people at the back couldn't agree, because they received 500 taels of silver.

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

 Why are you so unruly? Don't say anything else. We are going to be involved in a shoot-to-kill battle. We are just here to petition under orders. We have no other intentions. We were not seen making a fuss in the Dusi Yamen, nor did we say anything about breaking down the door. Ah, why come to your place and you are treated like someone who wants to kill an official and rebel?

 Can't you come out and say a few words to comfort me?

 If it doesn't work, you can just lay down your bed in the middle of the night and ignore it, and 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 formation has been set up, no matter what happens, we have to bite the bullet. The general walked out tremblingly, cupped his fists and saluted: "Master, we are brothers of the Xi'an defender. Brothers, don't want to cause trouble. My son, it’s not that we want to rebel. We are really forced by life and have no choice. We went to the Dusi Yamen, but the Dusi Yamen was closed and ignored. We were forced to come to the Governor’s Yamen to ask for a favor from the adults. "

"Grace?" Seeing the other party's attitude, Duan Xipeng felt even more confident and sneered: "Is there someone who comes to the governor's Yamen with a spear and a knife to threaten the superior, but says he is asking for grace? Your boss is the Dusi Yamen, and that's where it is. In charge of your place, the governor's office is the center of a province, so how can you, a bunch of bastards, just come and yell at them at will?"

"Sir, the people from the Dusi Yamen don't want to see us." The general manager said anxiously, "You have to give us a chance to tell the governor the inside story, right?"

"Hmph, the governor has a lot of things to do every day. Even the magistrates below need to submit reports in advance to arrange the time. How can ordinary people like you just have opinions? There are tens of millions of people in Shaanxi. Not everyone can come to see you. Your Majesty will spend your whole life If you don’t do other things, you won’t see it all! Let me advise you, if you really have any grievances, you can write to the Dusi Yamen. If you are dissatisfied with the Dusi Yamen, you can also file a complaint with the Procuratorate. This kind of death-seeking strategy is not advisable. Don’t do it. Others are evil!" Duan Xipeng said impatiently: "Okay, I have said so many good words to you, and I also see that you are all members of the Guards. Now I will give you a stick of incense and return to the military camp immediately. Otherwise, I will regard them as rebels and will be killed without mercy!"

 “Burn incense!”

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

 This is really a desperate situation.

Without any room for maneuver, he lit the incense unreasonably and ordered you to return to the barracks immediately.

 Duan Xipeng wanted to use this method to force the other party to not give in. If the governor came out to comfort them, they would really retreat. Wouldn't it be a waste to wait so long for such an opportunity?

That boss was forced to blush and sweat profusely, and the people behind him kept making noises, clamoring for the governor to come and see him, but for him it was a dead end, and they ignored you at all. If someone dares to get within thirty steps, then maybe he really dares to shoot?

“My lord, your official authority is too great. We are all soldiers who eat food. When we have grievances, we come to the governor to complain, but you have such an attitude. You really don’t treat us brothers as human beings!”

The boss gritted his teeth and used people's money to help others eliminate disasters. He received five hundred taels of silver. This was at least a formality. He didn't believe that the other party really dared to shoot?

"We, the more than a thousand brothers, insist on seeing the governor today. As long as the governor shows up and gives us an explanation, no matter what he says, we 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 to be killed and chopped into pieces, and we will admit it!"

Duan Xipeng was really happy. This and that was a mutiny. They were just here to act rogue. How could the border troops in Datong Town behave like this when they staged a mutiny? It’s so embarrassing to be a soldier!

"Oh, you're still rubbing your nose and face. If I give you some color, you'll open a dyeing workshop." Duan Xipeng's face changed, and his voice became fierce: "You only have one stick of incense, if you don't leave, don't blame me for being rude!"

But the general manager rolled his eyes and shouted: "Brothers, we just want the governor to give us an explanation. Doesn't this violate the law of heaven? We have been in trouble today, and Dusi Yamen won't give us an explanation. , the governor’s yamen didn’t give us an explanation. Where is there any place for us brothers to ask for justice? Brothers, sit down! Didn’t the official say thirty steps? The distance between us is at least fifty steps. Is it okay to just sit here and beg the governor to make the decision? If they want to kill or behead, let them do it. In short, we won’t do anything!"

The leader sat down immediately, still saying, "I don't believe what they can do to us if we are stuck here!"

With the general leading the way, the noisy large group of Guards soldiers also sat down with a smile, throwing aside the swords, shields and spears in their hands. They had no intention of doing anything in the first place, no. It's just a matter of giving money to make a fuss, just to gather the number of people.

Seeing this situation, the soldiers all looked at each other in confusion. How could something like this 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 these changeable and untrained soldiers could really do it without changing their color even when a knife and gun were placed on their necks. If they really wanted to do this, , they would not be reduced to this.

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

The vanguard of the Guyuan Army has arrived outside the city and is about to enter the city along with them to rest.

 In that case, let their wishes be fulfilled.

 “Form up the formation and take charge of the gun!”

Duan Xipeng's rough voice sounded, and the soldiers who had already formed a conditioned reflex immediately took a step forward and drew their guns. There were also a few who were in a hurry, but they all quickly returned to normal under the reprimand of the corps leader.

"go ahead!"

 The dark rows of soldiers immediately stepped forward without hesitation.

The atmosphere in the open space in front of the governor's office suddenly became solemn, and the guardsmen at the other end immediately started to panic and make noises. What are they going to do? Are they planning to kill people to establish their authority?

Duan Xipeng’s face was expressionless, but his voice was extremely high-pitched: “Ten steps forward!”

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

 “Ten more steps forward!”

 Ten steps again, thirty steps away.

Seeing the panicked guards, Duan Xipeng had a strange and sly smile on his lips, "Take the gun and aim!"

Some of the guardsmen had already gotten up, some were at a loss, some were fighting, and some simply turned around and ran away.

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

Before the guardsmen could react, Duan Xipeng suddenly waved his hand and said, "Fire!"

 Thirty fireguns fired at the same time, and countless "bang!" muffled sounds mixed into a dull and loud sound with a delayed effect, mixed with the unpleasant smell of gunpowder smoke.

"ah!"

"Help!"

 “Run quickly, these thieves dare to shoot!”

 “Run!”

Amidst the howls of ghosts and wolves, the guardsmen, who had been frightened to death, could no longer care about anything else and suddenly fled towards the rear in a swarm.

Fortunately, there was an open space behind them, otherwise the stampede alone would have caused many casualties.

More than a thousand rebellious soldiers were swept away by the strong wind, leaving only broken shoes and boots on the ground, and a few injured people who had fallen and trampled and were wailing there.
