There were dead and wounded pillows in the water dividing beam, but by the small river outside the water dividing beam, Ye Kai and Ruan Hui formed a strange tacit understanding.

It is said that this river, which can only be called a small stream, is not difficult to cross at all, but Nguyen Hue will not come to storm Ye Kai's more than 4,000 people located on the hillside, because more than 4,000 flintlock guns and forty-two cannons are not easy to mess with.

In the same way, Ye Kai will not drive the team to the river, without the geographical advantage of this gentle slope, more than 4,000 to 20,000, or the famous Xishan Army, no matter how you look at it, there is not much advantage!

And these thousands of troops are the capital for him to settle down in this troubled world, and they are the spark of the future, and it hurts to die Ye Kai, and Ye Kai is still unwilling to take risks until the last moment.

On both sides of the entire river, the only thing that was sounding was the rumbling cannons, Ye Kai was shelling the Xishan Army on the other side of the river, and the Xishan Army on the opposite side was also firing back.

However, Ye Kai has a target here, every time he fires, there will be more or less gains, and now he has driven all the Xishan troops into the jungle.

As for the cannons of the Xishan Army, it is purely a sound, they don't have bronze cannons that are easy to move, all of them are stupid and stupid naval guns or old-fashioned half-snake guns, not only are they inconvenient to move, but they don't dare to deploy the cannons too close to the river.

If they were too close, Ye Kai's artillery would definitely kill them first, so the artillery of the Xishan Army would also have a courageous effect.

。。。。

"Hurry up, hurry up, whoever dares to run away this time, then put him on the spot to rectify the law, and his family will be beaten into slavery, and he will not be pardoned!

But if all the people move forward and kill the Tang people on the opposite side, the official will be promoted to one level, and the soldiers will be given 50,000 yuan! ”

A fierce-looking Xishan Junqi was roaring loudly.

Of course, 50,000 yuan is not the 50,000 yuan of later generations, but refers to the central Tongbao big money issued by the Xishan Dynasty itself.

However, Vietnam lacks copper, and the value of this big copper coin is not high, 50,000 yuan is only a dozen or twenty taels of silver, but for ordinary soldiers, it is still a big reward.

This time, the Xishan military learned to be obedient, they simply didn't put the flintlock musketeers at the forefront alone, because they couldn't exert their power anyway, and they didn't make any pig rushes, because it was no different to send them to death!

This time, the Xishan Army, according to the suggestion of Wu Wenyong, the former commander of the army, held a gate board spliced together with two or three wooden planks for every twenty people.

The door panel was wrapped with a thick wet rice stalk, and there were five people behind the door panel who were responsible for holding the door panel, and ten hand-to-hand fighters with knives and axes, five musketeers, and one officer in charge of command.

Each door panel in front and back was about ten paces apart from each other, and if those in front dared to retreat, the people behind could kill them on the spot.

This trick really worked, the thick door board covered with thick wet rice stalks greatly blocked the damage of the flintlock pistols in the hands of the soldiers of the first company, and in the last wave of attacks, when they did not approach the earthen ditch, the Xishan army lost at least more than 100 people.

And this time, it has immediately attacked the earthen ditch, only one door panel has fallen, and more than twenty people have been lost, and on the mountain road behind, there are as many as five door panels holding them like this.

Huang Laosi and Liu Chonghan glanced at each other, and they both saw the anxiety in each other's eyes, if they didn't have the advantage in weapons, it would not be so easy for them to hold this dividing beam.

"Battalion Commander Huang, there's no way, let's fight hand-to-hand, now we are still condescending, if we wait for them to push to the soil ditch, then even this little advantage of geographical advantage will be gone!" Liu Chonghan thought for a few seconds, and then said to Huang Laosi in a deep voice.

Huang Laosi nodded silently, these door panels paved with wet rice stalks blocked at least seventy percent of the damage of bullets, and now there is no better choice than to take the initiative to go up and fight hand-to-hand.

It's just that the two people who were preparing for hand-to-hand combat didn't know that behind this last door panel, there were seventy or eighty of Ruan Hui's top-secret weapons, a group of elite hand-to-hand combat soldiers wearing chain mail inside, iron armor and even slatted armor on the outside.

These ironclad elites who are proficient in hand-to-hand combat and seem to have left the times are still very marketable in Asia in this era.

Although neither piercing armor nor slatted armor can defend against the lead bullet of a flintlock pistol, on the Asian side, musket shooting is just an appetizer, and at a critical time, it still depends on hand-to-hand combat!

Even in Europe, a decade or twenty ago, and even now, white-knuckle warfare is an extremely important means.

These elite hand-to-hand fighters quietly followed behind the last plank, and they were not very tall, basically between 1.55 meters and 1.60 meters, which was shorter than the average Vietnamese soldier.

But being short doesn't mean they don't have strength, these short tin cans are all a pair of long bodies, the so-called waist circumference of eight feet, and the length of the body is also eight feet, which is not exactly a joke.

In the period of cold weapons, it is not an easy task to fight in iron armor, you can look at those who play all-armor fighting in later generations, the nutritional intake and exercise level of future generations, you will be tired after three or five minutes, not to mention ancient times!

The kind of bee waist ape back, eight-pack abs, and extremely aesthetic gym body has no market in this era.

This kind of body explosiveness may be okay, but what about after three or two minutes of explosion?

Lying on the ground panting and waiting to be killed?

Therefore, the most suitable figures for hand-to-hand combat in iron armor are all horizontal and long, with a waistline larger than ordinary people, and there are enough fat reserves in their big belly to support them to fight intermittently for most of the day or even longer.

And the stature is short, and the iron armor worn will be relatively small, a set of armor is a few pounds less weight, and you can lose a lot of weight if you wear three or four layers of armor!

。。。。

Scarface roared wildly, no longer holding a spear but a sledgehammer in his hand, and he led more than two dozen people down the mountain road!

"Boom!" The huge hammer smashed hard into the wooden board held by Xishan Jun, and a huge breach was immediately knocked out, and Scarface's hand was also numb.

A soldier of the Xishan Army screamed, and after the sledgehammer knocked through the door panel, it smashed into his shoulder, and immediately half of his arm went weak, and behind the door panel, a soldier of the Xishan Army quickly aimed his flintlock pistol at the tall Scarface.

"Smack!" It didn't even catch fire!

The face of the soldiers of the Xishan Army with flintlock pistols in their hands was broken, and they looked like they were about to cry.

Scarface was also frightened, but then he laughed fiercely, and with another fierce hammer, he smashed the person with the gun together, smashing the chest of this Xishan Army soldier into the dent!

Another soldier of the Xishan Army next to him saw his comrade being killed, and he was about to pull the trigger with red eyes.

"Boom!" There was a gunshot next to him, and a soldier of the first company next to Scarface snapped the handcuff in his hand, and the huge projectile directly lifted the Tianling cover of the soldier of the Xishan Army on the opposite side.

It was too inconvenient to hold the door panel, and the remaining soldiers of the Xishan Army shouted together, threw the door panel to the ground, and Scarface and they fought hand-to-hand, and the one behind them saw that it had already been handed over, and the door panel that was also thrown into his hand rushed up without hesitation.

Huang Laosi waved his hand, "Chonghan!" It's your turn! Liu Chonghan, who had already put on a set of torn iron and short armor, shouted, and rushed out with a knife in his right hand and a handcuff in his left hand, with an iron helmet stained black and red with blood.

Hundreds of people on both sides collided fiercely, squeezed on this mountain road that was only a dozen people wide, and fought desperately.

When it comes to the martial arts of hand-to-hand combat with cold weapons, the Xishan Army has the upper hand a little, but it is not much stronger.

But in terms of the determination to die, the soldiers of the first company must be stronger, after all, they are all Ye Kai's clansmen, and the revival company also has their share.

Moreover, they have a little geographical advantage, and the numerical advantage of the Xishan Army cannot be shown, and they are still in the upper hand on the whole.

The place is so narrow, there is no effort to dodge and move, and both sides are one knife for another, one life for another.

Scarface had just hammered a Xishan soldier to death when he was shot in the chest, and the sharp tip of the spear pierced a large bloody hole in his right chest through the chain mail he had picked up.
