Chapter 332: Long-range blocking
The person at the head is none other than Li Dingguo, the god of war at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
And the general next to him is Liu Wenxiu.
Liu Wenxiu looked at the red flag in front of him and asked Li Dingguo:
"Second brother, look at that flag, is it the Red Flag of the Eastern Capture?"
Li Dingguo nodded and waved his hand to signal the army to stop advancing.
"Yes, it seems that the whole army of Zhenghong Banner has been dispatched, and Dai Shan and his two sons must be in Liaoyang."
Liu Wenxiu immediately took out his binoculars and carefully searched for Dai Shan and his two sons in the crowd.
Although he didn't know Dai Shan, as the owner of the Zhenghong Banner, their position should be very conspicuous.
Sure enough, as Liu Wenxiu expected, he soon found three generals standing side by side under the biggest red flag, still pointing fingers and talking about something.
"Second brother, I found Dai Shan, the three of them are remotely commanding the Eastern Capture Cavalry to fight, I will immediately touch them and kill them."
Li Dingguo shook his head:
"Third brother, it's too dangerous, if they find out, you won't be able to run away at all."
"Second brother, don't worry, the third brother is sure to run away......"
Seeing that Li Dingguo did not agree with him to sneak attack Daishan, Liu Wenxiu began to beg bitterly.
Li Dingguo was originally an orphan, but was later adopted as a righteous son by Zhang Xianzhong.
Zhang Xianzhong has a total of four righteous sons, in addition to them, there is also an Ai Nengqi, Sun Kewang has been killed in the rebellion.
Now Li Dingguo is a relative of Liu Wenxiu, the two of them are like brothers, Li Dingguo also takes good care of him, how can Li Dingguo let his second brother take risks.
Later, he couldn't help Liu Wenxiu's pleading, and Li Dingguo had no choice but to nod and agree:
"Okay, there's really no way to take you, we are ambushing here, if you are in danger, withdraw immediately, don't be a hero."
"Okay, second brother, don't worry, we will definitely not be discovered by the Tartars."
Seeing Li Dingguo agree, Liu Wenxiu was very happy, and immediately called eight soldiers with guns on their backs, jumped off their horses and quietly touched Dai Shan's location.
These eight people are all sharpshooters under Li Dingguo, and they and Liu Wenxiu form a sharpshooter team, with Liu Wenxiu as the captain.
This squad is equivalent to our current interception squad, and it is also the world's earliest special interception squad.
Liu Wenxiu They are not fools, of course they don't dare to directly step forward to kill Dai Shan, but first find a place suitable for shooting and killing the opponent, and the distance should not be too far away.
It was full of low bushes and dense artemisia grass, and it was not difficult to find a shooting point, and soon the eight men found four places.
However, it was still a little far away from Daishan, and the flintlock pistol had to move some distance forward if it wanted to hit the target more accurately.
With their current position and Daishan's position, every time they move forward one meter, there is a possibility of being discovered, and it is extremely dangerous.
Liu Wenxiu asked the other four people not to move, and he led the other four people to slowly crawl forward in the grass.
When he was about one hundred and thirty steps close to Daizen, he stopped, and he no longer dared to crawl forward.
The sound of fighting and gunfire on the battlefield sounded together, which covered Liu Wenxiu's actions well.
After determining the location, Liu Wenxiu whispered to the other four people:
"Each of us only has one chance to shoot, we must aim and then shoot, remember to shoot at the same time, and never shoot without permission, otherwise this sneak attack will fail."
The others also knew very well that once the defeat was discovered, this distance was too dangerous, and the cavalry rushed over, and they would not run away at all.
"Don't worry, general, you will shout slogans then."
"Okay, that's it, start aiming, I'll hit Daishan, you hit his two sons."
"Yes"
Generally, the strong bow projectile can shoot to about 250 meters, and the killing distance of the flat shot is only about 70 meters, which is a big difference.
The same problem existed with flintlock pistols, which fired about 200 meters and 120 meters flat.
In order to ensure maximum damage, the Ming army often put the enemy at a distance of 80 paces before firing.
This is about ordinary soldiers, and gifted sharpshooters are different.
After calculating the distance, wind speed, etc., they can increase the effective killing distance by about 30 meters.
After Liu Wenxiu aimed, the countdown began:
“54321”
"Shoot"
"Bang Bang ......"
The four flintlock pistols pulled the trigger almost simultaneously, and the four bullets flew at Daizen and his two sons.
Dai Shan and the others were staring intently at the battlefield ahead, where would they have thought that someone would sneak up on them, but all four bullets hit, and Man Dahai was hit by two bullets.
"Puff ......"
Dai Shan's left shoulder was pierced by a bullet, his body shook a few times and he almost fell off his horse in embarrassment, and Manda was shot under the ribs and in the abdomen and fell off the horse.
The other two were not as lucky as they were, and the two were shot in the head.
"Where to shoot? Protect the prince. ”
Dai Shan's personal guard shouted, flew off the horse to protect Dai Shan and Man Dahai, and began to search for the target vigilantly.
Dai Shan endured the sharp pain in his shoulder and stepped forward to look at his son, who was already unconscious.
"Quick, find out where to shoot this king, catch them and throw them into pieces."
"Chirp"
A few of Dai Shan's subordinates immediately began to get busy, but they didn't find anything.
"Lord Wang, it may be a stray bullet that hurts you."
"Bastard, what stray bullet? The stray bullet has long eyes, and it hits our father and son! ”
The two sons were killed and injured, which made Dai Shan furious, and immediately scolded a few Jia Lae Zhen.
"Lord Wang, you have lost too much blood, this is very dangerous, let's withdraw first, and Lord Belle must also hurry up to heal."
Seeing that Dai Shan was stained red with blood, a Jia La'e Zhen hurriedly reminded him to withdraw his troops.
Dai Shan also knew very well in his heart that now the Eastern Cavalry was low and could not continue to fight.
"Spread the king's order, withdraw the troops for the time being!"
"Chirp"
The herald immediately ordered the withdrawal of the troops.
Liu Wenxiu pinched himself hard, he didn't hit Dai Shan's key point just now, which was a serious mistake.
The other gunman next to him didn't hit the sea just now.
The two of them looked at each other, and they both smiled wryly.
In fact, this is not easy, but they are not satisfied.
Reloaded and prepared to replenish the gun, but Daishan and his son were already surrounded and did not give them a chance to fire a second shot.
The main general was shot, and the Eastern Cavalry and the clothed slaves were instantly in chaos, and they retreated one after another, not daring to continue to charge.
After hearing the withdrawal of troops, they turned around and ran, faster than rabbits, and they did not want to fight for a long time
Qi Jiguang waved the command flag in his hand:
"Xuanjia Iron Cavalry Impact, it's best to catch the old fox Dai Shan."
"Yes"
"Da Da Da ......"
Li Cunxiao agreed, led the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, who had already rested, to kill the Tartars to the east like a tide.
Now where can the Tartars still be able to block the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, under the leadership of their respective Jiala Ezhen, to protect the wounded Prince of Li, Daishan Mandahai, and retreat.
"Go back quickly, the eastern captives are going to escape."
Liu Wenxiu turned over and got up from the ground and quickly returned to Li Dingguo's side.
"Second brother, the Tartars have retreated."
Li Dingguo smiled coldly:
"Good come, brothers are ready to fight, resolutely not let a single enemy escape."
He commanded the Ming army, and immediately began to load the tiger squat cannon, check the flintlock pistol and load the bullets at the same time, and quickly entered the combat state.
"Da Da Da ......"
Suddenly, there was a violent sound of horses' hooves, and the Eastern cavalry quickly fled.
But suddenly they found that their retreat was blocked, and there were about 5,000 horses on the other side.
In order to escape for their lives, they protected Dai Shan and rushed over without hesitation.
Although Dai Shan was shot in the shoulder, as a veteran of the battlefield, he can still ride a horse and gallop.
Li Dingguo stretched out his hand to take off the strong bow, quickly pulled out a wolf tooth arrow, and shot it at Dai Shan.
"Whoosh......"
"Poof......
One hundred and thirty paces away, Dai Shan was shot in the front by Li Dingguo's arrow, but fortunately, the distance was too far, and he was wearing a battle armor so that he was not pierced by an arrow.
Even so, Dai Shan still felt a huge pain in his heart, and opened his mouth to spurt out a mouthful of blood.
The body immediately fell from the horse to the ground after the rematch, and the pain caused him to fall, and the old fox Dai Shan rolled his eyes and fainted to death.
"Lord ......"
The guards hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and stepped forward to carry Dai Shan.
The dignified Eastern Captivity, Prince Daishan and Belemandahai all fell into a coma.
