Just when Yang Feng reshaped his believers' worldview and weaving an ancient era full of immortal style, the Holy Church also encountered its first crisis.

就像他猜的,蒙古骑兵加入战场了.

On the battlefield in Henan, a large number of Mongolian cavalry cut off the connection between Yuzhou, the northern gate of the Holy Church and the rear, and then the 50,000 Qing troops led by the Eight Banners outside the Pass attacked Yuzhou, trying to open this crucial point. As long as they opened this point, they could go straight to the vast plains of the Nanyang Basin, and then face Xiangyang, the current nest of the Holy Church.

But they underestimated the common people who divided the fields and passed the complaint conference.

The latter had already truly felt the happiness brought to them by the Holy Tribe. After the autumn harvest last year, the tenants who did not need to pay a rent to the landlords would not let the Qing Yao and their minions come back and continue to let them continue to be in dire straits. In the end, the three brigades of the Xuanwu Army who guarded the city and all the people who retreated into the city together used large-scale flintlock guns and numerous artillery guns to defend Yuzhou City. At the same time, the other three brigades of the Xuanwu Army of Song Zhiqing and a brigade of Yao Zhifu's Zhenning Army, four brigades directly under the Xiangyang Grand Governor's Office, and a total of eight brigades of the army heading north to reinforce.

They fought with 20,000 Mongolian cavalry and 10,000 Eight Banners heavy infantry in the battle at Bowang, and the result...

Failed!

“怎么会败了呢?”

Yang Feng said speechlessly.

"According to the Grand Supervisor Qi, the commander of the battlefield was the commander of Song Zhiqing by Xuanwu Army, but he did not have the command experience of such large-scale battles. The previous green camp was basically all of us who fled after a volley of guns. This time, it was different from before. The Mongolian cavalry and the Eight Banners outside the Pass could fight much more. The size of the eight brigades was larger than any battle he had commanded before. The command on the battlefield was chaotic, and each brigade fought to a large extent. In the end, the Mongolian cavalry rushed out of the square formation of three brigades. Song Zhiqing was afraid and issued a retreat order. As a result, the retreat turned into a defeat and was damaged under the pursuit of the Mongolian cavalry.

The losses were huge, and the total casualties of each unit exceeded 10,000. Fortunately, it was not far from Nanyang, and most of the remnants retreated into Nanyang. But one thing is very good. None of our soldiers surrendered to the enemy on the battlefield. Even the dispersed lonely troops fought against the enemy to the end. The Mongolian cavalry and the Eight Banners of Qing Yao also had more than 8,000 casualties. Although the Mongolian cavalry broke through three square formations, the price was heavy casualties. Moreover, Yuzhou was still in our hands. Nanyang, Tangzhou, Biyang and other places were all transferred to the defense, and the people were firmly on the walls and clearing the fields. There were even many righteous people organized guerrillas to attack the enemy under the leadership of those young masters."

韩林说道.

"I passed my order to remove the position of the Xuanwu Army in Song Zhiqing, and let him be honestly his minister. After Yang Zhong arrived, he took over the Xuanwu Army and reorganized the Yuzhou Guards into the fifth and sixth towns."

Yang Feng said.

At this time, the second town, commanded by Xu Hui, had already reached Anqing, Wang Cong'er's third town conquered Jiujiang, and Lin Zhihua and Liu Zhixie were conquering Anqing, and there was actually a small part of the middle that had not been opened, but there was no obstacle to information transmission. In fact, according to the current progress, it would be completely opened in half a month. He had also formed the fourth town. The brigades in Henan could achieve such a result, which was enough to form two more towns.

As for Song Zhiqing's defeat...

This is completely reasonable. It was originally some second-line troops. Although the hollow square formation was effective, it was not completely immune to cavalry. Although the flintlock rifle had obvious advantages, it still needed the commander's ability to resist 20,000 cavalry in the field and caused huge casualties to the opponent. This can be said to be a glorious even though it was defeated.

Besides, Yuzhou has not been lost yet!

Next, it depends on Yang Zhong. Even if Yang Zhong is still defeated and lost in Yuzhou, it doesn’t matter. There is a Nanyang City behind him, and Xiangyang will be there in the future!

At this time, the Holy Church could still hold on to several defeats.

"Go and see our new gun."

Yang Feng stood up and said.

His new gun is a fire hat gun, and a rifled gun, but it is not a Minnie bullet. At this time, Europe already had the ability to make Minnie bullets, and the rifled gun was even less worth mentioning. He has not had time to expand yet. If he is in a hurry to get out the Minnie bullet, he might be learned by the British. When he resolves the internal war, the lobster soldiers may have been upgraded to the Second Crow during this period. This is not good for him to go out to cause trouble in the future, and it will seriously affect the rise of Little Nana. As for the fire hat, it doesn't matter. He handed over that thing to the British, and the British cannot find out what this is in a short time. That thing is not something that can be copied by looking at the appearance. It is chemistry, not mechanics.

"Immortal Lord, this gun cannot be on the battlefield, right?"

Looking at the soldiers who were throwing bullets over the muzzle, Han Lin said with a horror.

"This is not for ordinary soldiers."

Yang Feng said as he took a gun.

This is actually Baker. Of course, the appearance must be different, but there is no difference in essence. It is just changed to fire hat firing, all of which are short barrels and deer-skin bullets, with four simple rifles inside. Although it does not require soldiers to knock to despair like early rifled rifles, it still cannot be separated from the help of a hammer.

After Yang Feng looked at it, he replaced the gun with the soldier. The latter took it respectfully, then took out a brass fire hat and put it on, and then aimed at the target in the distance.

"Wat him some water!"

Yang Feng said.

In Han Lin's astonished gaze, the two soldiers next to him each picked up a watering can to water the flowers. In the simulated rain, the soldier aimed steadily at eighty feet away. There was an unlucky goat eating grass. As the soldier pulled the trigger, the gunshot suddenly rang out. The next moment, the goat fell down with impact as if he was hit. Han Lin subconsciously let out a scream, knowing that even the cannon shot is a little far away. The exact distance of the smoothbore gun is only ten feet away. If you can hit an excellent soldier twenty feet away, it will be left to fate.

And this is eighty feet!

A hit with an attack eighty feet away!

But what shocked Han Lin even more was that the soldier actually started to load in the rain!

He carefully blocked the muzzle with one hand and took out a new gunpowder bag. After biting it, he covered the rainwater and poured it into the muzzle. Then he continued to block the muzzle and took out the deer-skin-wrapped projectiles, knocked it in with a small wooden hammer, and then pushed it down with a small wooden hammer. After hitting it to the end, he put away the strip and the wooden hammer, took out a fire cap and put it on. Then he raised the gun and pulled the trigger again. In Han Lin's shocked gaze, the flames at the muzzle were squirmed again, and the body of the falling goat shaking violently.

"No, this sheep will reward you!"

Yang Feng patted the soldier on the shoulder and said.

"Thank you, Immortal Lord!"

The latter said excitedly.

"Immortal Lord, what if all guns were changed to fire hats?"

Han Lin said excitedly.

Although the flintlock rifle has a medicine cover, it does not mean that it is impossible to use in the rain, but it is just a little drizzle, which is completely nonsense in heavy rain. There is no shortage of heavy rain in the south of the Yangtze River. Fortunately, the plum rain season is not yet available. Once the plum rain season enters the plum rain season, the use of muskets will be severely restricted. Of course, this restriction is even greater for the Qing army. After all, the Qing army used a cotlin gun, but if it can be unrestricted, it can ensure that the Qing army will be beaten at all times, and this kind of gun is obviously not restricted by rainy days.

"About it, of course, it must be changed, but before this, the output of the fire hat must be increased!"

Yang Feng said.

It is not difficult to change the flintlock gun to a fire cap gun.

But it takes a little difficulty to make fire hats in large quantities, such as nitric acid, mercury, ethanol...

Ethanol is easy to say.

But copper is also needed, and a certain amount of machinery is also needed. In short, this requires a process. At present, it is still preferred to hunters. After all, they need accuracy. A clear advantage of firing guns over flintlock rifles is that they will not delay the ignition. Basically, you can ignite the fire by pulling the trigger. However, after the firearm's pot gunpowder is ignited, it always takes some time to ignite the gunpowder in the chamber.

Anyway, he still needs time.

In fact, many things in Yang Feng have been unfolded now, but they only take time to develop.

After the steam engine solved the power problem, various simple machines began to be manufactured. For example, this rifled rifle was made by a steam-powered rifle machine. Needless to mention the primary version of the boring machine, there were all the primary version of the lathe, and the primary version of the steam-powered forging hammer, which appeared in his imperial city. Yang Feng had extremely rich experience in playing with these things. Xiaoqian had all the drawings and materials needed, which were accumulated in the late Ming and Southern Song dynasties. It was the most suitable for the current technical conditions. It was nothing more than copying them. The lack of materials was solved by Xiaoqian. The lack of technical workers, the Immortal Master, and the large number of old craftsmen who were fully mobilized to create an explosive industrial * without any pressure.

Next, he even planned to make a steel furnace.

The steel is still the same now, that is, the crucible steel of Pudling and Huntsmann, which is no different from Europe, and Europe is also everywhere.

In other words, this set of things does not give him a technical advantage.

Of course, with China's huge human resources, he can still crush Europe. As long as a perfect reserve system can be established, even if he can pile up the number of troops, it will be enough to kill European countries.

Are 10 million troops afraid?

But it would be better if we could evolve into the era of steel.

Especially in the face of the crushing advantage of the Sun never set Empire at the sea, competing with them with sail battleships is undoubtedly a very stupid behavior. Even if he starts building ships now, he will not be able to surpass Britain in the short term. The best way is to develop the steel industry first to directly build a few ironclad ships to fight them. Even Dingyuan doesn't need Dingyuan. A Warrior-class who has added Armstrong cannon is the king of crushing everything.
