To improve accuracy, ensure a fatal hit.
Huang Yi used the original crossbow arrow. This special steel crossbow arrow penetrated directly into Shubutai's chest through his goggles.
He who was still chattering suddenly stopped. He stared at the tail of the crossbow nailed into his chest with wide eyes, a look of disbelief on his face.
"Boom!"
Shubudai fell on his back with eyes wide open and unwilling to give in. He couldn't figure out how there could be a crossbow that could shoot such a long distance. He didn't even see a crossbow!
"Kill! Those who surrender will avoid death!" Huang Yi shouted while pulling the trigger.
More than ninety archery masters such as Bi Daxi, Bi Zitong, Huxiaogu, Chalahe, Gerda, Yamoboli, Zhao Yong and Li Wanquan, including the sixty gunmen they trained, immediately rushed in and fired an arrow. place.
In an instant, the sound of bowstrings was like cracking silk, followed by "bang, bang, bang..." and the sound of gunshots.
This was the first time that the musketeers, who had been training for three months, went to the battlefield. Twenty of them were women. The twenty of them completed the volley fire quite well. They were able to finish one round and reload the second round. Ten people can shoot again.
It's not that there are not enough troops and women are needed to make up the numbers, but Huang Yi knows that the battle to exterminate the horse bandits will definitely be a smooth battle, and it is the best way to train troops in actual combat.
So I deliberately led twenty women to participate in the battle to feel the atmosphere of the battlefield.
These twenty women are certainly the best shooters.
The leaders were Zhang, Li, Sun Suzhu, and Du Cuilan, the first women to follow Huang Yi.
Women can hold up half the sky. The reason why Huang Yi trained women was not to attack the city, but to defend the base.
It is conceivable that in the following days, Huang Yi will inevitably lead the main force to conquer east and west.
Base areas with weak military strength may be attacked by the enemy.
Women have no strength, and fighting with cold weapons is simply a recipe for death, but having firearms is completely different.
Using matchlocks or flintlocks to fight, an all-female militia might not be unable to defeat an attacking regular army.
Even Bagala, who was a slave-builder, would be beaten into a sieve if he was shot at by dozens of women holding muskets.
Anyway, Huang Yi's goal is to mobilize all the people in the base area. If an enemy invades, he will fall into a sea of people's war.
There are only about 150 young adults in the Ma Thief Village, and there are more than that many people launching long-range attacks in Huang Yi. There is no way that anyone can still stand on the wall of the village.
"Oh my God!"
"Ah! Ah! Help me..."
"Counterattack, counterattack quickly!"
"Get down, everyone get down, the enemy's guns are too powerful..."
After a period of chaos, most of the horse thieves fell down. A dozen of them fell down because they reacted too slowly, and at least seven or eight of them would definitely never stand up again.
Then all the horse thieves heard a uniform cry: "Surrender and avoid death..." over and over again.
The second master of the horse thief was powerful and had strong armor. He was not convinced at all and actually shouted: "If you hide, you are waiting to die. Come with me, brothers!"
Yi Gulu climbed up and prepared to cut the ropes binding the rolling logs.
Unfortunately, Huang Yi, who had already loaded the crossbow, discovered him and shot him in the head.
The death of the first master had already frightened the horse thieves. The second master who wanted to fight back had his brains knocked out just as he stood up and took a few steps. The rest of the people were all dumbfounded.
Suddenly a voice sounded in Chinese characters: "Stop fighting, stop fighting, I am the third boss here, my name is Yu Shaoshan, I surrender!"
Huang Dazhi asked: "Are you going to surrender alone or let everyone surrender?"
"Stop shooting arrows and firing blunderbuss, I can make everyone surrender!"
"You are just the third in charge, can you still be the master?"
"You can do it, you can do it. The first boss, second boss and fourth boss were all beaten to death by you. You can't beat us any more. If you beat us again, none of us will survive."
The following paragraph should be what Yu Shaoshan said to their people.
Sure enough, the voices of other horse bandits rang out from the wall: "How can I fight if I can't even stand up?"
"I didn't start fighting in the first place, I just kept lying down!"
"Third Master, we listen to you, stop fighting and surrender!"
Yu Shaoshan raised his voice as much as possible and said, "Did you hear it? We won't fight, we surrender!"
Huang Dazhi, who had already approached within twenty steps of the village wall, heard this and shouted: "Don't even think about playing tricks. Just stand up slowly with your head in your hands. We promise not to shoot arrows!"
"You have to be trustworthy!"
"Surrendering without killing is our discipline, you can rest assured!"
The battle to encircle and suppress the horse bandits garrison Budai lasted only half an hour, without any casualties on our side. Eleven horse bandits under garrison Butai were killed and nine were wounded.
Huang Yi's team now has Li Yongtai, a doctor accompanying the army. He is an experienced general practitioner. He mastered the suturing technique in a few days and adapted to disinfection with alcohol.
Now he not only teaches his youngest son Li Ping'an medical skills, but also has nine apprentices, three of whom are girls aged 11 or 12.
Li Yongtai had excellent medical skills and was grateful to Huang Yi, so he promised to spend three years teaching his apprentices how to treat common diseases.
Chinese people value falling leaves returning to their roots. Although Li Yongtai's family was massacred by the slaves and only the youngest son survived, he still longed to return to his hometown to spend the rest of his life.
Huang Yi once announced that no one could stay or leave freely until the construction of the city was completed.
This is actually a delaying tactic.
Time can change everything.
As long as the base area develops well, living conditions improve, and the living environment improves, and after adapting to living and working here, there is no guarantee that many people who want to return to their hometown will change their minds.
Some people even want to return to their hometowns and bring their relatives to live in the base area.
Originally, Huang Yi was planning to lead all the people to fight hard in the base area.
Nowadays it may not seem that difficult.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, more than half of the grassroots people in the north had neither enough food to eat nor enough clothing to cover their bodies. How miserable was it?
The current gold, silver, treasures and precious metals in Huang Yi's hands are probably worth more than 200,000 taels in terms of platinum, and the accumulated food can ensure that more than 4,000 people can eat for a year.
For the poor people in the North, having enough food and clothing is a luxury.
Huang Yi, who has sufficient start-up capital, can ensure that everyone in the base area has job opportunities and that everyone who works hard can have enough food and clothing.
Next, housing and acres of land will be allocated according to the size of contribution and enthusiasm for work.
Given time, we will surely be able to build a positive base.
Li Yongtai is a good doctor, so of course we must create conditions for him to treat illnesses and save lives.
Therefore, Huang Yi purchased a lot of medicinal materials from Zhangjiakou and basically completed the variety of medicinal materials in the herbal pharmacy.
With Li Yongtai's superb medical skills, the golden sore medicine he prepared, alcohol disinfection, and needle and thread suturing, the injured horse bandit could basically survive.
