You must know that the heavy artillery, firearms, fine armor and other important weapons equipped by He Tengjiao's own elite are less than 30% of Li Guo's subordinates! Not to mention the people and horses in Changsha, not even a single percent of the people......

If this fights, although there are nearly 40,000 troops under Hao Shaoqi and Wang Jincai in Changsha, I am afraid that it will be difficult to defeat Li Guo's 9,000 people.

The young man who came with Li Guangchun continued to "explain" to the map: "This is the 8,000 men and horses of General Gao Yigong's headquarters, which are fortified along the line from Tongcheng and Changshui to Mubu Mountain. ”

Before he could say anything, He Tengjiao's gaze had already turned to the number next to the "high" word flag - six gates, 30,000 stones, 1,700 horses, 3,200 branches, and 4,000 pairs.

It is almost the same as that of Li Guo's department.

The young man continued: "This is the general of the Great West, Li Dingguo, confronting Hao Shaoqi's men and horses in the upper reaches of Changshui. Although he had only 3,000 men, they were all cavalry. Ah, by the way, Li Dingguo once led more than 4,000 people to defeat tens of thousands of elites in northern Sichuan, and captured more than half of them. ”

He Tengjiao's heart trembled again. He fought many battles with Jianyu and almost never won. What is the concept of 10,000 Qing troops? If there were 20,000 Qing troops in Huguang before, now Chu Di is afraid that it has been owned by Jianyu.

"This is the main force of the imperial court, the white pole army under the command of the new Duke of Shu, responsible for attacking the east side of Wuchang......"

He Tengjiao was immediately stunned when he saw the number of weapons of the White Pole Army, looked at the young man, and said in a lost voice: "This, this is true?!" ”

"Not a single number is missing!"

He Tengjiao was already in a cold sweat, and the 5,000 white-pole army actually had 12 heavy artillery pieces, 4,000 firearms, and all of them were equipped with armor!

"This is the Gan army, responsible for the east and south of Wuchang......

"This is Gui Jun, in charge of the south side of Changsha......

"This is the Cantonese army, temporarily as a reserve, listen to the ...... at any time"

Although the equipment of these teams is poor, even the most inferior Cantonese army is twice as good as the most elite troops under He Tengjiao!

He Tengjiao suddenly understood why this person dared to tell him about the military strength of the imperial court - even if he knew the deployment and combat strategy of others, he still had no way at all! Huguang's 100,000 army, in front of these soldiers and horses in the imperial court, is simply a chicken!

He Wenrui craned his neck and shouted, "What do you say about the soldiers and horses of the imperial court?!" I think you're just bluffing! ”

"It's easy. I dared to order the Sichuan army and the Jiangxi army to retreat twenty miles before, so I am not afraid to let you come and see. If you don't believe it, you can send someone to the imperial court camp within two days to check at will, and I will not embarrass you. ”

The young man saw He Dutang standing in place and was stunned, and motioned to the guards to bring a large and a small wooden box, and ordered, "Call." ”

He immediately took out a firearm from the small box, squinted his eyes, and pointed to He Tengjiao's flag in the distance and said, "Do you think Master He can shoot that flagpole?" ”

He Tengjiao raised his eyes and saw that the flagpole was at least a hundred steps away from him, he had never seen a gun that could shoot so far, and even if he could shoot so far, if he wanted to hit accurately, he was afraid that he would have to release at least thirty or forty rounds.

He subconsciously shook his head, and saw the young man hand the gun to the guard beside him and said, "Mr. Gan Ying, I'll hand it over to you." ”

Gan Xinda said "yes", loaded the ammunition quickly, barely aimed, raised the gun and shot, and the flagpole a hundred steps away broke in response.

"Shoot the next one again."

"Yes!"

"And that one."

"Yes!"

Four flagpoles in a row, all of them are broken with one shot!

The young man didn't seem to see He Tengjiao touching a cold sweat, and asked people to take out the items in the big box and put them up.

He Tengjiao naturally recognized that it was the No. 3 Franc cannon, and he couldn't help but feel a little relieved in his heart - this thing is also equipped with a lot of equipment in his own army, but it is not as terrifying as the fire gun just now.

Immediately someone rowed a small boat with a large thick plank and sailed half a mile away, and the plank seemed to be wrapped in iron sheets. Waiting for the people on the ship to drop anchor and leave, the soldiers on the side of Wangtianshi immediately began to operate the Franco cannon to pad the rubber seal, and then loaded the gun and aimed.

He Tengjiao secretly laughed to himself, the No. 3 Franc machine projectile weighed less than half a catty, and it couldn't shoot half a mile away at all, let alone destroy the thick wooden plank wrapped in iron.

There was a roar beside him, and he missed the target. It is not surprising that the cannon hit rate of this era is so unreliable.

It wasn't until the third shot that he finally saw a wooden board shaking violently, He Tengjiao's eyes narrowed, and he was surprised in his heart, but he didn't expect to shoot more than half a mile away.

When the boat was rowed back, he was even more shocked that he couldn't close his mouth - the four-inch thick wooden plank, which was still wrapped in iron sheets, was shot through by the No. 3 Franc machine!

How is this possible?!

If the Franc machine of the imperial court has such power, it is not much worse than the thousand-pound cannon of the Chu army! In this way, the number of cannons equipped by the imperial army must be at least doubled......

He Tengjiao suddenly felt cold, he was against such an army?! It's like looking for death! The young man just now said that even if the Chu army has two or three hundred thousand, it is not enough to see it, it is definitely not a lie!

The young man's voice came from beside him, "Lord He, let me ask again, do you want to die or live?" ”

Seeing that He Tengjiao was still hesitating, he shook his head and sighed lightly: "I won't tell you, it's not impossible that I want to leave your life at this time." ”

He pointed to the river in the distance, "This boat is called Galese, and it uses oars and sails to move very fast on the river. Each large ship is equipped with 11 cannons of more than 1,000 catties, and the small boat is equipped with 6 cannons. Then he looked at the Huguang Sailor on the other side, "Forty or fifty boats of your size can be destroyed in a moment." You are in Jiangxin at this time, where can you go? ”

He Tengjiao couldn't help but take a few steps back, waved his hand and exclaimed, "No, I can't die!" If I hadn't been there, Huguang would have been in chaos! ”

The young man nodded, as if he already knew about it, and only said, "So, Lord He chose to live?" ”

He Tengjiao said dejectedly: "Although I did not kidnap the Son of Heaven, I was framed by others, and now I am in rebellion, but how can I live?" ”

"As long as Lord He follows what I say, not only will his life be safe, but he may also be able to make some achievements."

He Tengjiao squinted at him, "You talk and count?" ”

"It's up to me to decide."

He Tengjiao took a step back again, looking surprised, "Who are you?" ”

The young man glanced at Li Guangchun beside him, who immediately motioned for the guards and attachés to kneel on the ground together, and shouted in unison, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”
