Chapter 20: Bandits

"Fire!" As soon as the two words came out, Guo Xing'a looked nervously at the temporary artillery position. For the experiment, Goxinga made a total of three sample cannons and sixteen shells, and now all of them are on the position. But what effect these treasures can have, Guo Xing'a really doesn't know the bottom in his heart.

He had been fighting with the enemy for most of the day, and except for the three deserters who had been executed by Goxinga, only a few of the leading soldiers of Hatan's division were slightly wounded. The others didn't even hurt a single hair, not to mention the deaths. But if these three treasures blow up their own positions, it is estimated that the goal that the enemy has not achieved after fighting for a day will be achieved. It's hard to say about the flagmen in the trenches, but the artillery pioneers of the guard squad and the miscellaneous service team are estimated to have to get in a few.

The three were in charge of one cannon, and nine members of the death squad were waiting for the three big killing weapons. Because there is no such thing as a trigger fuse, the shell needs to be ignited first. Therefore, one of the two people at the muzzle of the gun held the shell at the muzzle, the other lit the fuse with a fire breaker and quickly pushed the shell with the wooden partition into the barrel, and the third person at the end of the gun also lit the fuse after the shell entered the chamber. After that, a few people ran away, and hid directly in the hidden trench.

"Tong, Tong, Tong" With a sound that looked like a large marquet explosion, three barrel shells visible to the naked eye flew towards the enemy group.

"No explosion!" Goxinga almost hugged Hatan beside him and kissed him.

The three cannonballs carrying Goxinga's hope did not stay in the sky for long before they smashed into the enemy group like meteors. One of them also had the effect of physically killing enemies, directly smashing the head of a minion soldier into the air.

"One, two, three, four, five......" Guo Xing'a counted silently in his heart, but until Guo Xing'a counted to twenty, there was no expected explosion.

The enemy was first startled by the loud noise coming from the village and the three iron buckets flying out. However, seeing that the lethality of the iron bucket was limited, it quickly resumed its progress. When Goxinga counted to twenty, the enemy's advance again entered the eighty-meter range of the defensive line.

"Your Excellency?" Hatan was a little confused, and Guo Xing'a threw the bucket after such a big battle.

"Fuquan, go and let Xishou send more* over!" Guo Xing'a didn't want to deal with Hatan very much, and he couldn't make a contribution without a conscience, so he had to repeat the routine of * again.

"Boom, boom" The two long-awaited explosions finally came, and the giant shields on one of the shield carts were lifted into the air. Although the power of * is far less than that of modern *, the weight of a full thirty catties is not a joke. The lead and the broken iron sheet are also far more powerful than the killing fragments in the *, especially the irregular iron sheet leaves terrifying traces on the fragile flesh. One by one, the bandits who were moving forward fell directly without warning, as if the soul had left his body the moment he took a step.

"Grab food! Fight! "The enemy army remained fanatical and stubborn, and launched a desperate charge while the formation was in disarray.

"One to four rows, shoot alternately!" Seeing that the enemy had abandoned the shield cart, Feng Shena decisively ordered to shoot.

"Boom!" The follow-up bandits had just filled the gap in the array just exploded, and the third barrel shell exploded.

"Fire!" Seeing that the third shell had achieved better results, Goxinga almost danced with his hands and hurriedly ordered the artillery death squad to continue firing.

The artillery pioneers of Goxinga were also excited when they saw the achievements of the first gun. Wen Ling hurriedly held the shells and medicine bags, climbed out of the hidden trench again, and began to load the shells.

With the continuous bombardment of the conscienceless cannon, the shield carts of the bandits completely lost their effect, and one after another the shield carts were overturned to the ground by the huge force of the explosion. The bandits who were hiding behind a few lucky shield carts were also constantly killed by the fragments of the small barrel shells. The brave charging bandits also fell in rows under the crossfire of muskets because the charge was too far.

Guo Xing'a, who was very excited, was already standing outside the trench, looking at the situation on the battlefield with a smug face. This wave of enemy attacks has completely failed, and the enemy forces behind them are also in confusion with the sound of explosions.

"Fuquan, order Mu Shun's cavalry to prepare to attack and defeat ...... in one fell swoop" Guo Xing's hands waved meaninglessly, ready to order the cavalry to attack, and directly counter-charge to completely defeat the enemy.

"Boom!" There was a huge roar in Guo Xing's ears, as if a hot wind was stroking his face, and it was as if he had slapped someone hard. Goxinga felt that the world was a little ethereal, until his body fell back into the trenches. Goxinga's consciousness was still a little blurry, but he knew that what he feared most had happened. The word "explode" kept flashing in Guo Xing's mind.

When Fuquan, whose face was covered with dust like a terracotta warrior, helped Guo Xing'a up, Guo Xing'a's eyes seemed to be a desert in the wind, gray and dusty, and he couldn't see anything. There was only the sparse sound of gunfire, but there were many more panicked cries, and painful *.

After a long time, the smoke and dust slowly cleared, but the temporary artillery positions no longer existed. The earthen walls and hidden moats have all disappeared, leaving only a mound. Of the three unconscionable cannons, one had been blown up into a trumpet flower and buried in the mound, and the other two flew into the trenches of Hatan's headquarters, and one flew outside the village. Except for being taken aback, the second company had no real impact. Hatan's department was unlucky, as more than a dozen people had their heads broken and bleeding, and one person was cut by fragments with a wound of more than ten centimeters on his arm. And the heaviest losses are the artillery pioneers of the death squad, except for three buddies who don't know whether they are fast or lucky, the rest are all buried in the hidden trench, and Xishou is leading the people of the miscellaneous team to dig these tragedies that were buried alive.

The enemy had already broken up before the bombing, and the heavy casualties kept them from holding out until the bombing. Hundreds of corpses were still left, and they still didn't even touch the edge of the earthen wall, so they left in panic. Goxinga also gave up his plan to attack, and the enemy army had already gathered the defeated troops and could not take advantage of the chaos to win. And with such huge casualties, it is estimated that the enemy will take the initiative to withdraw at night. There are still a bunch of troubles to deal with at home, so let's leave it to him.

Guo Xing'a threw the task of suppressing the team to Feng Sheng'a, and he took the guard squad to assist Xishou in treating the wounded soldiers. The moment he saw the medic treating the wounded, Guo Xing'a was deeply glad that he had rushed to help. It is true that the wound is bandaged and treated according to the method explained by Guo Xing'a in advance, but no matter what kind of injury, the medical soldier came up and fed it with a painkiller pill with opium as the main raw material. For a wound of more than ten centimeters on the arm, you should feed some painkillers, but you can also feed some skin on your forehead, which is a bit dogmatic. Guo Xing'a is not sure if he will be addicted to taking opium in small doses, but it is better to be careful, after all, there are really old ladies who are addicted to pain tablets.

After stopping the abuse of opium and helping to dig out the death squads, Goxinga had time to listen to Seshan'a's post-war summary. The battle lasted five and a half hours, from 4 a.m. to 3 p.m. In four battles, more than 700 enemies were killed, and no one in the Eight Banners Army was killed and 31 people were wounded, including two who lost their ability to fight. More than 1,300 rounds of ammunition were consumed, * more than 270 pieces. A number of small gold and silver hand ornaments, more than 200 worn-out knives and guns, and farm tools were seized.

After reporting the accounts, Saishana pulled a bitter gourd face and looked at Guo Xing'a miserably. It's a battle that doesn't outweigh the loss! The ammunition consumed by the Eight Banners Army was all real money, but the capture was so shabby that it made people's back molars hurt. Farm tools and tattered weapons can only be recycled, and that bit of gold and silver hand ornament is not enough to inlay a gold tooth! This is also thanks to the regulations on combat capture compiled by Guo Xing'a, otherwise even this little gold tooth money would have been hidden by the bannermen.

Goxinga is a person who has played big games, and of course knows the importance of confiscation and return to justice. But he told the bannermen that all the seizures would be returned to the public, and it was estimated that the bannermen would be able to revolt. Therefore, under the pretext of the inconvenience of carrying gold and silver on the battlefield, Gohinga formulated the terms of the war regulations and seizure in imitation of the reward method of the British pirates. All the captures captured in each battle are handed over and kept by the Auxiliary Commander. However, all those who participated in the war will be recorded, and after the war, they will be divided equally according to the 40% captured, and the remaining 60% will be returned to the public. In addition, the bannermen were not allowed to carry any personal belongings except for their clothing and weapons, and anyone who found them carrying them was to be punished as if they were hiding the booty. In order to recover the spoils of war and keep the soldiers enthusiastic about fighting, Guo Xing'a can be regarded as racking his brains.

The gag fooled away Saishan, and Goxinga began to comfort the wounded soldiers and comfort the bannermen of the various departments non-stop, and did not return to the room to rest until midnight. Guo Xing'a soaked his feet in the hot water that Fuquan called to burn his feet, and his brows were twisted again. Without the persistence of the improvement and manufacture of conscience cannons, medicine has become a fatal problem.

The Qing army's main treatment is still based on Chinese herbal medicine, which is considered orthodox Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine is very great, but it has a drawback, which is that it is slow to produce results. Moreover, in the treatment of trauma in traditional Chinese medicine, it is known for bruising and bone-setting, and open trauma is a little worse. But it's not that Chinese medicine is bad, it's that the conditions are limited, and there is no equipment to study microorganisms. Not to mention traditional Chinese medicine, Western medicine was also the same in the middle of the nineteenth century, and the Crimean War was also a piece of wounded people seeing God, and there was no way to cure it. Without modern medical equipment, Chinese and Western medicine can do the same, and it is up to fate after cleaning the wound and bandaging it well. The contemporaries who really made great achievements in surgery were a mysterious group in China. They are good at surgery, have thousands of years of experience in organ removal surgery, and they have always had a sacred title in the industry - Xiaodao Liu. However, Goxinga could not ask them for help, because they were only responsible for the production of eunuchs.

The British army in Crimea can die casually, the divine soldiers of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom can die at will, and the bannermen of Goxinga can't die casually, one less one dies! He didn't understand advanced surgical techniques and other techniques, so he could only pick what he could master, and first get anti-inflammatory and blood transfusion.

Guo Xing'a didn't take Baidu Encyclopedia to cross, penicillin is also a high-tech product, not something he learned in his previous learning experience, and even if he did, he would have returned it to the teacher a long time ago. To be able to play high-tech is thanks to his previous life, he had a wife who loved to watch Japanese dramas, and his wife needs to watch TV with his husband! In a Japanese drama called What is Doctor, there is a plot of local production of penicillin. In order to change the channel, Guo Xing'a seized this plot loophole to attack this TV series wildly, although he was defeated later, but he remembered the content clearly. First, a large amount of Penicillium (moldy and white-haired eastern) is collected, cultured with a nutrient solution (corn boiled juice), then the culture is filtered, canola oil (i.e. rapeseed oil) is added, and stirred. After stirring, the water (refined culture medium) is extracted. Because penicillin is water-soluble, most of the ingredients will remain in the water. Through the above method, most of the intolerant substances and lipid-containing substances are removed, and the remaining thing is called penicillin reagent. It's not too reliable, but it's better than resigning to fate. As for penicillin allergies and the like, it's a dead horse as a live horse doctor anyway, it doesn't matter!

As for the blood transfusion Guoxing'a, there is also a way, but this method is actually even more unreliable. There were no needles, but Goxinga found a few hollow silver hairpins that looked very thin. There is no rubber-plastic catheter and can be directly replaced with the animal's intestines and bladder. It's really urgent, there are so many dead bodies, and people's blood vessels are dug out. As for the blood type, Guo Xing'a is out of line, but fortunately, everyone is Manchu, I heard that the Manchu people have a lot of blood type O, let's try your luck!

For the next three days, Guo Xing'a and the miscellaneous team were busy making cannons and scientific inventions. However, the state of combat readiness has not been lifted, because the enemy blocking the door has not left. The enemy did not attack again, but remained motionless at the entrance of the village like a leper dog. Guo Xing'a has never been able to guess the enemy's intentions, and he is afraid that the enemy will have an ambush and does not dare to attack, so he can only continue to move the enemy. The cannon has not yet been built, penicillin has not yet been made, and the blood transfusion equipment must be improved. When Guo Xing'a decided to stay, he had the mentality of gambling his life, so now he is willing to block it!

"Greetings to Lady Sarei!" Shirab, dressed in a strong suit, knelt on one knee in front of Goxinga at some point.

"Hmmm! …… Get up!" After Guo Xing'a became an official, he began to learn to speak in a long voice, as if now he couldn't remember who this buddy in front of him was.

"Something?" Goxinga is still trying to remember who this familiar-looking guy is.

"Back to my lord, the slave led the troops out of the village to investigate, and found that the bandits would not have reinforcements, so I came to report back to my lord!" Shirab didn't notice Goxinga's confused eyes at all.

"There won't be reinforcements, how do you see that?" Guo Xing'a knew that he was a member of the cavalry, but he didn't remember who he was, and it was too difficult to distinguish between officers without rank and self-proclaimed slaves.

"Lord Hui, the bandits at the entrance of the village are not bandits! It's the bandits......" Shirab still bowed his head respectfully.

"Bandits...... What the! You said that the gang of Wang Ba calves who have been squatting at the entrance of the village are not the Taiping Army, they are a gang of fucking bandits? Guo Xing'a howled like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, attracting the sideways glances of the handymen who were doing the handicrafts around him.

"Back to my lord, the slave came up close, and it was indeed a group of bandits who had coerced the hungry people, not a new army of bandits." Xirab can also be regarded as a long-lasting battle, although the new army that the Taiping army has just pulled up looks quite similar to ordinary bandits at first glance, but Xirab can still distinguish it. Although they are all in tattered clothes, the Taiping army is still somewhat organized, and it will not be as chaotic as bandits.

"His uncle, let a gang of bandits block the door for four days, Lao Tzu doesn't have to mix in the future. Fuquan, order the whole army to assemble and prepare for a counterattack! "With a few conscienceless cannons just made in the corners of his eyes, Guoxing's morale is high.

Although the other party was a rabble, after all, there were still thousands of people, and Guo Xing'a still called the officers for a combat meeting before the war. The plan was to cover the artillery advance by the assault teams of Hatan and Duosan, and after the artillery bombarded the enemy's position, the second company pressed on it and scattered the enemy array with dense firepower, launching a white-knuckle charge, while the cavalry charged the enemy position and fought for a drum.

The officers were ordered to prepare to return to the army, but Goxinga did not give the order for a general attack, but let all the troops drink and rest, and then quietly watched the sun in the sky. Everyone had eaten lunch, and Guo Xing'a still looked at the sun like a first love. Duosan rolled his eyes and watched Hatan scolding in a low voice, and the officers were all in a daze, and no one could figure out what medicine was sold in Guoxing's gourd. It wasn't until more than two o'clock in the afternoon, when the scorching sun made everyone's faces covered with a layer of oily sweat, that Guo Xinga moved his neck.

This method was learned by Goxinga watching a movie, and launched an attack when the enemy was at his most slack. Hitler chose 3:40 a.m., when the Soviets were asleep, and Goxinga chose 2:30 p.m., when the bandits were sunburned and oiled. The Guoxing Asuo Department was full of water and food, and the bandits were starving, and the time had come to die.

"Do it!" Goxinga waved his right hand decisively.

The assault team, the death squad, and the second company jumped out of the defense line one after another, and Mu Shun also led all the cavalry, including the guard squad, and was ready to charge at the entrance of the village. Quickly approaching about 100 meters to the bandits, the second platoon of Duo San guarded against the bandits' assault, and Hatan's platoon began to help the death squad set up a conscienceless cannon. This is what Goxinga specially explained, if Hatan is in charge of defense, I'm afraid he will be the first to rush out.

With the help of the strong men with thick arms and thighs of Hatan's department, the death squad quickly set up three unconscionable cannons. In order to prevent the explosion of the chamber, the unconscionable cannon this time has been thickened with iron sheets, but for the sake of insurance, it is still stipulated that each cannon can only fire three shots. After all, the cannon that blew up last time was a problem with the fourth gun, so the third cannon is considered a safe service life.

"Tong, Tong, Tong" is a bit like the sound of a large Ma Lei Zi explosion, the commandos and death squads who have suffered losses are all honestly lying on the ground, and even Hatan, who has always been not afraid of heaven and earth, is honest like a good baby. There was no time to observe the results of the battle, and the artillery death squad used the fastest speed to shoot all nine shells.

Dozens of people are busy running to your 100 meters away, who can't see it! The bandits had already seen the approaching commando, but they didn't know whether they were dazed or hungry, they all looked at it stupidly, and no one reacted. Until one terrifying explosion after another sounded, and the entire camp blossomed directly. The first half of the camp was indeed blown up, but the casualties were less than 100. The whole camp was indeed full of people, and the numb people fled as if they had just been awakened by the sound of the explosion. The people and horses that the core bandits had just gathered were also scattered by the rushing crowd.

"Cavalry charge!" Seeing that the bandits were disrupted, there was no longer a need for the fire strike of the second company. Guo Xing'a, who had just gotten himself a white horse, took out his Yanling knife and slashed forward fiercely.
