At this time, at the foot of Snake Mountain, the fifth battalion of the superintendent under the command of Man Pi, the governor of Daqing Huguang, was forming a formation, and the queue of 3,000 people still looked quite spectacular, and the officers and soldiers of the city defense battalion of 1,000 people were also lined up in a crooked formation, and there was a smell of tension in the air.

Gao Laibao, the deputy general of the fifth battalion of the superintendent, can be called a fierce general in the army, and has been fighting on the battlefield in the northwest in the early years, and later won the meritorious officer to the rank of deputy general of the governor of Huguang, commanding the fifth battalion of the superintendent, wearing iron armor, not angry and self-assured.

"This rebel is so bold that he dares to play such a rebellious flag! Don't you think your own life is too long, and you want to try the old man's knife? ”

After Gao Laibao finished speaking, he deliberately glanced at Xiande, but found that Xiande was already as pale as earth at this time, and couldn't help but curse silently in his heart.

seemed to feel the disdain in Gao Laibao's eyes, Xiande's old face was ashamed and angry, and he said in his heart that he was also the governor of a province, and it was just a matter of being made by your master, when will it be your turn to see your face?

"General Gao, this traitor is so arrogant, when will he start preparing to attack? This official wants to tell you that if you let go of a rebel, you will be ready to walk around without food! ”

"Lord Futai, this rebel bandit now occupies a favorable position, and the last general plans to send someone to survey the terrain first, and attack from both sides, and the rebel bandit will naturally be captured, this is the way of using soldiers..... The last general still has a little experience. Gao Laibao's tone was not polite, and he secretly ridiculed Xiande for not knowing how to use troops, so that he was defeated.

No matter what kind of wit these two people fought between their words, they didn't take the rebels on the mountain in their hearts in their hearts, and what great things could be done by these hundreds of people who were coerced, they could be wiped out with a single charge. As for why the rebels took the initiative to occupy Snake Mountain, they didn't think about it at all.

After a while, the Qing soldiers who went to explore the road reported that the direction of the other party was dangerous, and it was impossible to climb, and it was difficult to continue the attack on both sides.

Xiande smiled, and his tone was not so good, "Su asked General Gao to know the soldiers, but this courage is not very big, and the chaotic soldiers with a total of less than a thousand people are also worthy of such attention?" If General Gao is cowardly, it is better to let the city defense battalion make this contribution. These words were directed at the guerrilla Zhao Jiande of the city defense battalion who arranged a formation in the distance.

Gao Laibao bit his cheek, snorted coldly, bowed casually, and went to set up an offensive. He directly sent a battalion of men and horses, 600 people divided into three waves to attack along the mountain road, and then sent another battalion of palaces, as for the sub-mother cannon in the battalion, the mountain cannon was not used, after all, the other party was condescending and could not fight at all.

When the Qing army was attacking, Ning Yu also began to make relevant preparations on the mountain, he looked at the dense Qing army under the mountain, and said with a smile: "Can't let them rush up so comfortably, give Ning Tieshan an order, and open fire!" ”

Ning Tieshan got the order, beckoned the six twelve-pound thunder cannons on the artillery array to take the lead in preparing to open the artillery, these cannons can hit three or four miles at most, with the current distance to hit the Qing army under the mountain is the most suitable, and it is also specially equipped with new explosive bombs, which are loaded with iron sand and broken porcelain pieces, and the power is very amazing.

"Fuck me on time! This first hit is good, and the next is that bunch of rabbit cubs are afraid! Ning Tieshan's heroic voice came, and after the gunners adjusted the angle, they put the torches on the lead.

Boom - Rumble -

With a loud bang, six explosive bombs smashed into the Qing troops on the mountain road at the same time, and the flying iron filings knocked the entire Qing army to the ground, like the wind blowing weeds, and there was no one standing in that area. The rest of the Qing army was so frightened that they lay on the ground, no matter how the thousand generals behind them urged them to drive them away, they could only crawl forward little by little.

Gao Laibao had never fought before, but he had never seen such a terrifying cannon, especially the nearest one, which was only a hundred steps away from his position, and that loud sound seemed to stir up the deepest memories in his heart, making the blood run fast in his body and could not stop.

Xiande was also frightened half to death by this explosive bomb, and shouted repeatedly: "Come on, hurry, hurry, help this official get out of here!" ”

What the fuck is this! It's scary!

Gao Laibao finally came to his senses, his eyes were split, and he said loudly: "Hurry up and let them rush, go to another camp, you must go up!" He understood that the power of this cannon was too great, but it also took time to reload, and it was not bad to be able to fire two cannons in a quarter of an hour, which was his experience in the northwest battlefield.

However, what Gao Laibao didn't understand was that this cannon was completely different from the sub-mother cannon, and when the next battalion also began to rush up, although the distance was gradually shortening, the enemy's artillery was becoming more and more dense. On the narrow mountain road, a frantic bombardment began, and the Qing army continued to fall on the road, and many people had begun to slow down, thinking about running back slowly.

More than 20 cannons and small cannons under the command of Ning Tieshan were frantically pouring ammunition, although the ammunition brought this time was not very much, but as long as these 3,000 people were wiped out on the battlefield, everything would be worth it.

When Ning Yu looked at the fallen green battalion soldiers gradually laying a dense layer, he found that his father, Ning Zhongyuan, was already dumbfounded.

"Fuck it, this battle can still be fought like this!" Ning Zhongyuan looked at the Yellow Spring Road on the mountain road, and finally let out a sigh.

Ning Yu smiled: "This is also the reason for the terrain restrictions, the mountain road is too narrow to create such an effect, but this road is not very far, and when they get closer, our flintlock guns can also show their power." ”

Gao Laibao at the foot of the mountain already had a faint uneasiness, he directly found the city defense battalion guerrilla Zhao Jiande, and forcibly ordered the other party to lead the stragglers of the city defense battalion to attack bravely. No matter how unhappy Zhao Jiande is, he also understands in his heart that this matter is not trivial, if he doesn't go, I'm afraid that he will be chopped up by the person in front of him with a knife at the first time.

Time passed slowly, and in the course of a quarter of an hour, the artillery bombardment of the Ning army lasted four rounds, that is to say, twice as fast as the artillery skills of the Qing army. The successive bombardment of the artillery caused more than 400 Qing soldiers on the mountain road to fall, but there were still 400 people who had gradually approached the Ning army.

At the front of the position were the three hundred spearmen of the Eagle Battalion and the Hanyang Battalion, and the rest of the hand-to-hand soldiers were at the rear of the formation, waiting for the moment of hand-to-hand combat.

Xu Chengliang commanded the soldiers to stand in three rows, holding the flintlock pistol in his hand while saying loudly: "Don't pull the trigger when you see someone, you must get closer and then fight, eighty steps and wait for me to give the order, and then fire!" While roaring, he began to silently calculate the distance in his heart.

At a distance of eighty paces, two rounds of guns can be fired, and a 700-shot flintlock pistol is 1,400 bullets, 1,400 bullets, and with the current formation, it can take more than 300 people.

War, sometimes it's just a math problem, when you calculate more accurately than the other side, then you win.

Xu Chengliang silently calculated this account in his heart.

This battle is won by yourself!
