Chapter 215: Defeat
However, these bandits are not all waste, and there are still various "home remedies".
Almost as soon as Sun Xiao reacted, he whispered to Yan Zhendong and told him what he knew about how to deal with it.
"My lord, if you attack the sky with fire, we might as well let the brothers roll in the muddy puddle......
Also, I have heard my brother say that this foreign oil and water cannot be extinguished, and it must be rolled on the ground to extinguish it......"
"Great idea!"
In the summer, there was a lot of rain, and even some roads were muddy, and some bandits rolled in the muddy water, and even used cloth towels to make water, covering their mouths and noses, even if the fire oil was stained on their bodies again, because they did not feel pain, they did not panic, and rolled on the ground to suppress the fire extinguisher.
It's a pity that by this time, most of the bandits who were used as former troops had been killed or wounded.
The rest were also shocked and did not dare to come forward again.
……
The next battle turned out to be lackluster.
Since he already knew that Chaotianguan had been prepared, Yan Zhendong did not rush to attack again, but relied on the large number of people, divided into three directions, and learned the "Wai Sanque One" in the commentary.
However, under the defense of Chaotianguan's archers and the new army, the bandit army also suffered heavy casualties.
In particular, although the New Army has only been formed for a month, the 15 New Army members are standing there as if they were 15 mobile batteries, and every wave of shooting has to shoot nearly 10 people, which is extremely terrifying.
It's a pity that there are few people!
Ye Shu stood on the high platform, seeing that the courtyard wall could no longer be defended, so he decisively ordered those White Lotus Sect disciples who could no longer hold on to the sky behind the high platform.
This battle made Ye Shu extremely dissatisfied.
Taking advantage of the geographical advantages, people and people, he even allowed the other party to break through the courtyard wall, this White Lotus Sect, in addition to fighting to the death and not retreating, is really only suitable for chaotic battles.
In the middle of his thoughts, the White Lotus Sect had already retreated, and there were still 1,500 or 6 bandit troops, but in the midst of cheers, they entered the walls of the Chaotian Temple.
Yan Zhendong looked at this side cautiously, saw the figure flickering in Chaotianguan, and sneered loudly: "Ambushed the ambush soldiers, do you want to plot against me?"
Ye Shu shook his head, extremely disappointed with this "old friend".
I haven't seen him for seven years, and the other party's martial arts have improved, but he still has no knowledge, whether it is a military formation, strategy, or Western-style firearms, he is like a pig!
is like this late Qing Dynasty, which has been beaten for decades, has obviously been used by people with firearms and rubbed under their feet for so long, but most of the Qing army generals still haven't made much progress.
"It's no wonder, don't say that it's the current Qing court, it's the battlefield of Western Europe, during the First World War, although there have been muskets for decades, but the combat quality is also very poor, and the matter of lining up and rushing up with people's lives is just like the cold weapon period......"
Ye Shu didn't show any interest anymore, and he didn't speak, just raised his palm and waved it down.
When he boarded, he saw four men and horses rushing out.
On the left, there are the original archers of Chaotianguan, the number is small, only more than 20, but all of them are extraordinary.
On the right, there is the new army, which has expanded its recruitment these days, and has gathered more than 50 people, and at this time it is lined up in three teams, although it is silent, it is still somewhat powerful.
The front and back two parts, but the largest number of people, there are more than 300 people, each holding swords and shields, all of them are young and elite, they are the most fundamental armed force of the White Lotus Sect, and they are also the people who are most in line with the "image of the White Lotus Sect" in everyone's hearts.
Yan Zhendong laughed when he saw Ye Shu's troops coming out: "With these soldiers, do you want to stop me?"
Fifteen hundred people, who roared in response, formed a circle and rushed towards the high platform on the hill.
"Fire!"
At the sound of an order, three cannons were pushed out of the Chaotian Temple, which had been demolished long ago.
THIS CANNON IS NOT BIG, ONE 75MM AND TWO 57MM, ALL OF WHICH ARE DONGYINGSHAN CANNONS, WHICH THE QING COURT BOUGHT FROM DONGYING.
In the past seven years, Liang Kuan has focused on the development of muskets in accordance with Ye Shu's previous instructions, and secretly accumulated advanced artillery, bought no less than ten guns, and has long become a VIP of the logistics department of the nearby New Army.
It's a pity that most of the old artillery pieces were turned into fixed batteries by him to guard the school.
poured out the elite power of the Shahe Gang and Chaotianguan, but only sent three cannons.
After getting Ye Shu's letter, Liang Kuan not only sent these three cannons at night, but even himself, with his face covered, stood behind one cannon.
The artillerymen are all veterans of the Shahe Gang.
Seeing these three mountain cannons with round and big wheels, the bandits in the audience were almost so frightened that their souls were lost.
Seven years ago, Ye Shu entrusted the name of "One Page Book", so that the entire city of Guangzhou understood the power of the cannon.
Seven years later, Yu Wei is still the same, even those bandits who have little knowledge, and they all know the deeds of Ye Shu commanding a group of artillery and bombarding foreign ships.
At this time, the three artillery pieces directly destroyed all their confidence!
"Boom !!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Three cannons, almost simultaneously!
When the two small mountain cannons used explosive bombs, they exploded violently when they hit the crowd below, killing more than 20 bandits on the spot, and countless people were injured and stupid.
The violent sound shook the surrounding bandits into a daze.
And the 75 gun, this one is filled with solid shells!
A shot was fired, just like an invisible guillotine, a long straight line was drawn through the crowd, along the high platform ladder, and at the same time, the bandit's body was torn apart, and at the same time, it also slammed into the ground below, smashing out a huge earth pit.
The chaotic crowd fell silent in an instant.
Only on the high platform, the White Lotus Cultists, who had been prepared for a long time, continued to shoot the bandits below with bows and arrows and muskets!
Time is originally very slow on the battlefield, and every second is faced with life and death torment.
But for some reason, in Yan Zhendong's heart at this time, time seemed to be extremely fast, when he was still hesitating whether to attack or retreat, and his men and horses were also hesitating, the artillery above, I don't know when, was ready to shoot again!
Three more bombardments!
Three more blood flowers explode!
The bandits in the audience finally couldn't bear the fear in their hearts anymore, and turned around and ran away, and there were countless escapers.
The new army on the high platform was directly out of panic, and at this time, the three stages of shooting, the gunshots kept ringing, killing every second, which made the crowd holding on to it even more chaotic.
I don't know when it started, but the last person who resisted was also shot and killed, and all the bandits turned their backs, desperately trying to escape from this terrible place.
No matter how Yan Zhendong pressed or killed, he couldn't resist this rout.
Just like the monk Grinqin who faced firearms at the beginning!
"White Lotus disciple, kill!!"
Ye Shu gave an order, and the sword and shield soldiers on the stage, who had been waiting impatiently, slaughtered downward like hungry tigers.
There is one who is so violent that he even throws away his shield, and rushes straight to the enemy line with a knife!
More than 300 people rushed into the rout of more than 1,000 people, like more than 300 knives, and plunged into the butter!
