Yang Feng expected that the Qing army's counterattack did not appear.

There was only a group of Han troops in the Huangqi Banner there, even the old man in Manzhou was wiped out, and even Ild was raised on the flagpole and stood on the city wall. Their cannon fodder did not dare to counterattack. As for Yang Feng, he was not interested in attacking. Although he easily captured Ningyuan, nearly 200 people were killed or injured by the Ming army. This cavalry was his true confidant. The successive victory had caused these soldiers to have blind admiration for him. Such people were very loyal, and they could be regarded as seeds. They all needed to be protected as much as possible. There was no need to waste it for a small target that was worth mentioning.

Even the Qing army on the mountain did not go south.

About 200 Qing troops who ran out of Ningyuan all ran to the north, and probably had already promoted his myth in Lianshan. At this time, Aiduli, who was stationed in Jinzhou, was probably inexplicably inexplicable.

Moreover, there are not many soldiers in Jinzhou.

Dorgon was preparing to lead the army westward, leaving Jizhou to attack Beijing together like last time, or killing two birds with Li Zicheng when the Ming army and Li Zicheng were both injured. It is estimated that even the news of Li Zicheng seizing Beijing was difficult to know. At this time, the information was very slow, and even the news of him seizing Ningyuan could not be known. In short, everything was calm the day after he seized Ningyuan, Deputy General Chen worked diligently to lead his subordinates to count the city's materials and arrange city defense. Although this general was not very capable, he was a good assistant talent. At least Yang Feng was very satisfied with his performance these days.

"How do you use this thing?"

He sat on a chair at the top of the city wall and asked curiously as he looked at the bird gun in the hand of a soldier.

He did not find a few cannons in Ningyuan City. All the original cannons here were taken away by Wu Sangui. When the Qing army came, they only brought four copper cannons that should be red-clothed cannons, and four franchises with breech loading. However, there were hundreds of bird guns. In fact, nearly half of them, including his 10,000 infantrymen who were rushing to the scene were of this kind of ancient combroach. At this time, both the Qing army and the Ming army, the proportion of firearms was amazing.

"Hurry, show it to Your Majesty!"

An officer said quickly.

The soldier hurriedly pulled out a small bamboo tube from his waist, pulled out the plug and poured the gunpowder from the bamboo tube into the barrel, then took out a lead ball from the box on his waist, put it in again from the muzzle, then pulled out the strip below the barrel and stuck it in force, opened the cover of the fire door, then pulled out another small pot from his waist, poured the gun powder into the medicine pool of the fire door, shook the gun body a few times, probably to let the gunpowder leak, then pulled out the fuse from his waist and clamped it on the broken fuse clamp, took out the fire fold and blew it, and first led the fuse, then picked up the gun and aimed forward.

"So troublesome?"

Yang Feng said speechlessly.

"Your Majesty, bird guns are all like this. However, when fighting, they will take turns shooting in three or five rows. In this way, the interval for firing is very short."

The officer said.

"How far can I play? To be honest, I don't brag."

Yang Feng asked.

"It's hard to say. If you can't wear armor thirty feet, you can still hurt people, but if you penetrate cotton armor, it's only less than ten feet. If you wear a thick cotton armor with iron sheets, it's probably good to hurt it within five feet. Just like His Majesty, you'll wear a thick cotton armor with iron sheets, then two layers of chain mail, and tie a circle of mountain-patterned armor outside. Even if you can penetrate it, it's actually a little broken. If you get a shield cart in front, it's almost useless. Moreover, this thing is often easy to explode because of shoddy work people in the Ministry of Works. According to my opinion, it's better to use a hard bow than to use it, but it's just that hard bows are not allowed to be pulled!"

The officer said.

Yang Feng nodded.

He really understood this. Yesterday he had more than 30 bullets on his body, and the few on his deepest legs were only one centimeter into the flesh. Before he could special treatment, he was directly pushed out by the healed muscles. Finally, he took off his armor and shook the lead balls all over the floor, which made him speechless.

"Then why do you think this bird gun is not far away?"

Yang Feng asked.

Before the officer could come up, the soldier who was presenting wanted to speak but stopped.

"you say."

Yang Feng pointed at him and said.

"Long live the opening, little, little thinks that this projectile is not good. The barrel of the gun is so thick, there is a loophole between the projectile and the barrel, just like a bellows. If the loopholes on both sides are big, it will definitely leak air, and it will be useless if the leak is leaking."

The soldier lay on the ground and said.

"It's well said, I'll reward you with a thousand households, but remember it first and then seal it!"

Yang Feng said with satisfaction.

The soldier was excited and hurriedly lay on the ground to thank him.

"But when the projectile is made large, it is not easy to install it in. The barrel actually has different thicknesses. Even because of the shoddy production, some barrels are even thicker in the front and back. If the projectile is made too close to the tenon, most of them cannot be installed when used, so they can only be made smaller and easier to load."

The officer said.

"So why not put a layer of stuff on the outside? For example, linseed, especially linseed, wrap the projectile with this, isn't it equivalent to making it bigger? Then put it in oil and soak it a little bigger, because the linseed is soft, and after soaking oil, it will still be easily stuffed in, but it can seal the air leakage. Isn't the range increased when shooting again? Of course, it doesn't have to be linseed, and softer leather is OK, such as deer skin."

Yang Feng said.

"Long live the wise and wise, I will suddenly understand!"

The officer quickly beat the horse.

"I'll leave this to you. I'll reward you as the Minister of Works first. If I'm done for me, I'll really give you an earl!"

Yang Feng patted his shoulder and said.

He can only do these things first now, and these are not something he can count on in a short period of time. After all, neither Li Zicheng nor Dorgon will give him time to climb technology. If he really wants to defend Ningyuan, no other moves will be useful at this time. He can only fight with real swords and guns. After all, the mace in his hand is the most reliable.

But the problem is that he doesn't work alone!

Even if he can fight, he can't stop thousands of troops. Not to mention thousands of troops, if the Ming army came half an hour late last night, he would be exhausted. His ability was to deal with a hundred-man level battle. When he reached the thousand-man level, he could only consume him to death. So he still needed an army, an army that would at least dare to fight.

There was actually no problem with the Ming army in fighting.

The Qing army had them all.

Needless to say, both sides mainly use cotton armor, and other mail chain mails are common things, and there is no difference in weapons. Even a large part of the Qing army's weapons were seized from the Ming army. The cold weapons are the same, nothing more than swords, spears, bows and arrows. As for the Qing army's weapons, they were developed by traitors such as Kong Youde. Both sides have the same bore cannon and a clamping rope gun, which means that both sides are at the same level in equipment.

Let’s talk about the quality of soldiers.

The combat effectiveness of the Qing army was indeed higher, and he also understood this, but this did not mean that the Ming army was all weak. At least the Ming army under his command was not at this time. These people were also well-trained and the degree of being cut off people's heads was not worse than that of the Qing army. It was indeed not possible to use infantry in the field against Qing cavalry, but hiding in the castle to defend, there was absolutely no problem. It was nothing more than shooting arrows and slapping down with wolf teeth. It didn't have to face the torrent of the iron cavalry or facing a spear like a forest. The Qing army now relied on red-clothed cannons. He didn't believe that the 18-pound bore cannon could really be destroyed for dozens of miles in one shot. To be honest, it would be great to break the arrows with one shot. This would have to be deducted from the tragic precision influence.

After all, the Ming army is so bad that they dare to fight. If they really want to turn their heads and run away like yesterday, it would be a fantasy to be able to win a battle.

"It takes courage!"

He sat upright on the chair of the Grand Master, muttering to himself as he looked at the green earth outside the city.

"Tartars!"

Suddenly, a scream woke him up.

Yang Feng hurriedly raised his head and looked into the distance. There was almost a Niulu Zhenghuang Banner Manzhou soldiers coming from the north. It was obvious that they came from Lianshan. There were also Qing troops stationed there, but they were not here to counterattack Ningyuan. This little man could not attack the city. Such a short time was not enough for Aiduli to react, so they could only come to reconnaissance. After all, they needed to know the specific situation of Ningyuan at present.

"Go and invite Ild!"

Yang Feng waved to an officer beside him and said.

The latter immediately greeted the soldiers with a vicious smile. Just as the Qing army entered a mile outside Weiyuan Gate, the guys carried Ild's body over, holding it like a flag, swaying in the sky. The Qing army outside had not seen it clearly at first, but obviously guessed something, and then urged the horse to continue to approach the city wall. When they approached to the distance that could be seen clearly, they all ran towards the city wall like crazy, and at the same time they scattered and raised their bows and arrows to shoot at the city wall.

Yang Feng immediately ran to the back of a cannon, took the ignition pole from a soldier's hand, lay behind and aimed carefully, and then pestled the fuse into the ignition hole without hesitation.

The earth-shaking sound of cannons suddenly sounded. In the fierce back seat of the cannon, a shell flew out, instantly knocking Niu Lu, who was leading the team, out of his upper body. Moreover, the kinetic energy of the shell was not exhausted. Then he hit another Qing army in the same line and also smashed his upper body into a ball of blood mist. Then he hit a rock in front of him, and quickly bounced out under the force of the impact, knocking the legs of the third Qing cavalry away. The collapsed gravel also knocked a Qing army out of half of his face.

"Ma, this thing fits my identity!"
