Five hundred and thirty-six? The End of the War (21)

In order to make up for his mistakes and avoid a devastating blow to the Shenhuo Battalion, Zhou Yanbo gave an order very decisively, and the Shenhuo Battalion retreated about three or four miles to the south, and then prepared to counterattack Meng Sun's counterattack.

The place chosen by Zhou Yanbo is a large grassland, but this grassland has a characteristic, that is, there is a high slope with undulating slopes, and Zhou Yanbo chose a piece of high ground with a steep slope and protruding to the north.

"How about it, what weapons does the Shenhuo Battalion still have for the time being, and how many more?" Zhou Yanbo asked Xiao Yuan.

"All the bulky firearms are gone, and because of the hasty retreat, about sixty percent of the firearms that each person should have lost are also lost, and now the number of firearms held by the entire Shenhuo Battalion is less than forty percent, but the melee weapons held by each person are basically retained."

"What about gunpowder? There was no gunpowder, and firearms were nothing more than a pile of scrap metal. ”

"This is also the most important ......" Xiao Yuan sighed heavily, "The gunpowder transported by the baggage is not to be discussed, the gunpowder that you have now is just a fixed share of each carry-on, if you use it, even if you assume that one person is solved in one shot, then each person can only solve twenty people, which is still the most ideal situation." ”

"So...... There is still a certain amount of gunpowder. ”

Xiao Yuan nodded.

"You said just now that everyone's melee weapons are basically retained, and the sabers and Miao knives equipped with the Shenhuo Battalion are also retained? There's also the capital to fight back, that's good. Zhou Yanbo rubbed his nose and said.

"Little goose." Yindie walked over and whispered, "The guards who received your order to turn their weapons have arrived, and they have brought a total of three carriages of weapons. ”

"It's fast enough."

"After all, it's your order, Xiaoyan, if it's late, who knows what will happen."

"The person in charge is still very clever, so what kind of weapons did they send?"

"Mainly spears, teng shields, and repeating crossbows and two large bundles of crossbow arrows." Yindie relied on her own memories to report to Zhou Yanbo in detail.

"Spear, Teng Dun...... And repeaters? After hearing this, Xiao Yuan kept slapping his head, "How can you be able to resist Meng Sun's attack with these, this is the Divine Fire Battalion!" ”

"That's why I sent these things, these things are simple and easy-to-use weapons, it seems that the people who transported it understand very well that the Shenhuo Battalion is an elite division that specializes in using firearms, and it is precisely because of the special focus on firearms, if it is a weapon like a bow and arrow that needs to be practiced diligently, the Shenhuo Battalion is definitely not good to use, and the spear is different from Teng Dun, it is simple and easy to use. This is especially true for repeaters, as long as the bolts are loaded and the trigger is constantly shaken back and forth, the bolts rely on the advantage of numbers rather than precise accuracy, so they do not need to be able to aim. Zhou Yanbo explained, "But this is not a place that ordinary people can think of...... There must be an order from a shrewd guy behind it. ”

"First of all, no matter who is so shrewd, since the weapon has been delivered, then the immortal master, you should think of a way to fight against Meng Sun's attacking enemy."

"What are you anxious about, it's still a question whether the other party will come or not."

"Luo Yingshe came to the message just now, and a team of Mengsun's army is hurrying here."

“…… I really hate what comes to what. ”

"Isn't that just right, I'm already gearing up." Because of the matter of weaving the city, the Shenhuo camp lost its due power, which made Xiao Yuan hold his breath, although there is no powerful firearm to support it now, Xiao Yuan still dares to guarantee that his Shenhuo camp can deal with the other party's Mengsun army.

"Order, order!" Xiao Yuan's tone sounded like a request, but it felt more like a threat.

Zhou Yanbo took a deep breath, then pointed and drew on the ground, "Give all the firearms and gunpowder to the person with the best musket skills in the Shenhuo Camp; Then select a strong person, holding a Teng shield and a Miao knife, and stand at the front of the whole team; Then there are people with flexible hands and feet, holding spears on both sides of the oblique side of Teng Dun, sharing the pressure of Teng Dun, a total of two columns, and then the back column is crossbow arrows, after a certain distance is used, like rain arrows can stop the enemy attack on a large scale, the last is the Shenhuo battalion holding muskets, the number of people on the left and right sides should be the same, the shape is symmetrical. Divide into several squads evenly in this way, and arrange them appropriately. ”

"Isn't it the same class as a team?"

"Go quickly, if you really want to defeat the Mengsun Mansion army that has come over." Zhou Yanbo didn't explain to Xiao Yuan, but just urged him to do it immediately.

"The other party first has a small number of cavalry as the vanguard, and then the infantry, this is the news that Luo Yingshe came, it should be true."

"I believe this, but I remembered Luo Yingshe, hurry up and inform all the attacking generals under the legion, when you receive the military information, you must repeatedly send an order to Luo Yingshe and the military department to confirm together, so as not to be bewitched by Mengsun's secret false information."

"I have already done this for you, after all, this is Mengsun's territory, and it is indeed not very accurate to rely on Luo Yingshe's military situation alone."

"The large-scale attack on the border has made the strength of the legion somewhat scattered, and it is easy to be broken by each one, so it is best not to attack indiscriminately in each part, and let everyone pay attention to it, and you must not leave the sight of Luo Yingshe, if I am assassinated by Meng Sun's people at that time, I can't do it...... There was already a shortage of manpower......"

While he was talking, the sound of horses' hooves roaring was heard not far away, and the cavalry of the Mengsun family came to attack.

"Let Teng Dun turn into an iron wall to block the cavalry's charge, the pikemen see the direct stab horse, don't move the bow and crossbow, the musket sees that if there are cavalry who force their way in, deal with them, don't shoot indiscriminately!" Zhou Yanbo stopped the conversation and immediately gave the order to deal with the cavalry, while Xiao Yuan immediately went to convey the order, and then counterattacked Meng Sun's cavalry.

After a while, Xiao Yuan walked towards Zhou Yanbo: "The enemy's cavalry has been scattered, and it doesn't look like a threat." ”

"The cavalry is just a small fight, the real highlight is behind, the main force of the Mengsun Mansion army has already come, it seems that they want to eat the Shenhuo Battalion."

"Do they have this stomach capacity?"

"Xiao Yuan, you look at it, each team is arranged like this......" Zhou Yanbo demonstrated to Xiao Yuan on the grass how to arrange the formation: divide Teng Dun and spear into two parts, the front is still Teng Dun, and two spears are set on the back side, and then the other half is also set up in a symmetrical way in the equidistant direction on the other side, and the repeater crossbow and musket are postponed, so that the squad is equivalent to becoming a small crane wing array, leaving no gap between the squad and the squadron, This is equivalent to countless crane wing formations protecting Zhou Yanbo's own formation.

This arrangement looks very empty in the middle, and it is easy to force a breakthrough, but the space in the middle is very narrow, and the slope hinders the opponent's certain attack speed, so this is not suitable for large-scale attack, if Meng Sun dares to fully encircle and attack, then Zhou Yanbo dares to say that he has lost from the moment they attack.

After this arrangement was made, there was no matter of Zhou Yanbo, he stayed in the formation peacefully, with Xiao Yuan in front of him.

Maybe it was because he used his brain too much, Zhou Yanbo actually fell asleep unconsciously listening to the sound of fighting, and when he woke up, the sound of fighting had stopped.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Yanbo stretched his waist and said.

Xiao Yuan stepped forward to report: "The other party has retreated, and I didn't rush to give the order to pursue." ”

"Retreat?"

"It's a retreat, not a retreat, they don't look for benefits, and the reinforcements who came to support are about to arrive, in order to avoid unnecessary losses, they retreated decisively, to be honest, this battle is really not enjoyable."

Hearing Xiao Yuan say this, Zhou Yanbo only found that the flags of the Zhou family appeared on both sides at this time, and he took a closer look, it seems that the people who came were Meng Sunying and Xiao Sheng, and only the two of them had the ability to come to support.

"How? Meng Sun's method of secret reflection has already been tasted, even Luo Yingshe has inaccurate information, and almost made your Shenhuo Camp a pile of corpses. ”

"I've already tried it once, when I was in Sibai, so I really don't want to try it a second time." Zhou Yanbo's answer was neither humble nor arrogant.

"Yo, huh?"

"As a result, I still haven't met the main force of the Mengsun family...... Luo Yingshe was too slow this time. Zhou Yanbo already complained a little.

"By the way, there's one thing you need to know." Yin Die came out and said, "I heard from the people of Luo Yingshe that Zhou Yanxing, who led the attack on the Han family, has not acted for a long time, or that the action to attack the Han family has been delayed. ”

"No action? They were defeated! "If he is defeated, this is not good news for Zhou Yanbo.

"It's not that he was defeated, but that he didn't make any further moves, and I don't know what Zhou Yanxing is doing." Butterfly shook her head.

"In short, it will definitely not be something that endangers the Zhou family, as long as it is not a defeat, don't worry about him, now let's focus on Meng Sun's main force, Mao'er, you go and contact Situ Yide, I must have the military intelligence of the other party's main force."

"Okay."

"My big brother is procrastinating." Meng Sunying said, "It seems that he is waiting for something." ”

"What can he wait for?"

"I don't know, but it's definitely not a good thing for you." As the defensive master of the Meng Sun family, Meng Sunying feels very keen, and I am afraid that things are not simple.
