Chapter 119: Ammunition Explosion
Luo Mazi's words, Lin Ziran didn't care, this person has always been so greedy for life and afraid of death, there is nothing strange about it.
Anyway, as long as he is there, this Luo Mazi will not do anything too out of the ordinary.
If Luo Mazi is not greedy for life and afraid of death one day, Lin Ziran may have to wonder if this person is the same as himself, and was bent over by another soul.
Luo Mazi is also a wonderful person, seeing Lin Ziran's action of drawing a knife, he hurriedly said in his mouth: "Adults are angry, adults are angry, the small one is just to remind adults to pay attention to safety, and it is definitely not to shake the heart of the army!" ”
Lin Ziran didn't pay attention to this Luo Mazi anymore, and now he was more concerned about the reactions of these soldiers under him.
Damn, they've all become soft-footed shrimps, how can they fight later!
Looking at these soldiers, they are all like little children who are frightened by vicious dogs, they only know how to cry, and they don't even have the courage to resist!
This scene made Lin Ziran frown, this training is enough, but the actual combat experience is seriously insufficient, and the morale is too low!
After the professional training of professional officers such as Wu Guanlin and Xu Zhongshu, the training of the Qingshan Patrol Battalion is also clear-sighted, and one tactical action after another dare not be said to be very good, but at least it is passable.
Sometimes, when I conduct drills, I also play decently.
But why are all soft-footed shrimp in actual combat?
Lin Ziran also knew that he couldn't blame them, after all, most of the people here had never really experienced the battlefield, and many of them were recruits recruited in the last month or two.
Even if some of them have fought, at most they have fired a few shots from afar, and they have never fought the enemy at medium and close range.
His Qingshan patrol battalion seriously lacked actual combat experience.
So far, it's useless to think about it, anyway, with so many goods under his hands, Lin Ziran can't conjure up a group of elite soldiers.
The only thing I can do now is to keep riding my horse around, holding up the command knife and shouting: "Don't panic, hold steady!" ”
"We have a chariot formation in the way, and those cavalry can't rush over!"
"We hid behind the car and shot, and when they got closer, we would shoot the damn one, kill one by one, and run away if we did a few more."
"We have reinforcements on our side, the 3,000 troops of the temporary brigade are not far away, they will be able to come over soon, we just need to hold on for a while!"
"As long as we don't mess up our own positions, they can't rush in, as long as we hold for a while, reinforcements will arrive soon!"
"When these cavalry are repulsed, Lao Tzu invites everyone to drink wine and eat meat, and then find a group of girls for everyone to ensure that you have a good time!"
Lin Ziran personally shouted, and what he said was simple and straightforward, and even some did not fit his identity as an officer.
But that's all he can say at this time.
He wanted to ease the tension of the soldiers, so that they would not be thrown into trouble.
And then give these soldiers confidence!
We have a chariot formation, they can't rush in, and it only takes a moment to hold on for reinforcements to arrive.
This will make it much less difficult for the soldiers, and they will not be full of running away.
In fact, Lin Ziran didn't know when the reinforcements would arrive.
He knew that Jian Liangzhi's temporary brigade was not far from the north, but there were several kilometers of road not far away, and at the same time, it would take time for the news to be reported, and it would take time for reinforcements to come over.
And these can be long or short.
To put it bluntly, the ghost knows when Jian Liangzhi's reinforcements will arrive.
When Lin Ziran brandished his saber and ran around on horseback, shouting to boost morale, more than two hundred cavalry in front also rushed over.
However, they did not rush to the car formation where Lin Ziran was, and they did not even rush to the front half of the transport team garrisoned by the three companies of the Qingshan Patrol Battalion, but rushed to the second half of the rear garrisoned by the Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment.
It's not that the Guang'an cavalry thinks that Lin Ziran's troops are awesome and don't dare to rush over, but because of the terrain.
The artillerymen of the 6th Heavy Artillery Regiment were stationed on both sides of the convoy in relatively open areas, which were more suitable for cavalry attacks.
So, Lin Ziran shouted for a long time, and saw the enemy's cavalry whizzing past a few hundred meters in front of him, and then rushed to the vehicle formation where Cheng Hongbin's artillery was stationed.
Cheng Hongbin, who was a few hundred meters away behind him, saw this scene!
I cursed in my heart: Damn!
And then also commanded the artillerymen to stabilize.
Because the artillery in his heavy artillery regiment is all heavy artillery, there are only more than 20 guns in total, because although the name of the heavy artillery regiment is hung, in fact, there are more than 600 artillerymen including gunners, loaders, and baggage soldiers who serve the artillery.
Otherwise, more than 1,000 people would not have been requisitioned to transport shells.
The strength of these more than 600 people is also comparable to the strength of the Qingshan Patrol Battalion brought by Lin Ziran this time.
However, although his more than 600 troops are all artillery and not professional infantry, they can also pick up the Fuyuan musket and line up to meet it at a critical moment.
It's just that the artillery under their command is not a professional line infantry, and it is difficult to say whether they can rely on the vehicle formation to block the enemy's cavalry charge.
When Cheng Hongbin commanded the artillery to meet the enemy, Lin Ziran did not breathe a sigh of relief, there was any luck mentality.
It's all on the battlefield, if the Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment is finished, and in the end, the fate of his Qingshan Patrol Battalion will not be any better, is it possible that the cavalry of the Guang'an rebels will let them go?
Time passed little by little, and soon, the more than 200 Guang'an cavalry rushed to the rear half of the gunners of the Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment to the many vehicle formations.
But these cavalry did not disperse, and each pounced on a large number of chariots, but only killed the last chariot formation consisting of more than a dozen carriages.
There were only a few dozen gunners and soldiers and nearly a hundred civilians in the car formation.
The cavalry roared by, and without even a pause, they crossed the station, and as they crossed the formation, the cavalrymen first condescendingly fired their pistols with the cavalry wheels, and at the same time threw torches!
Lin Ziran saw with his own eyes that the whole process was only a dozen seconds at most, and at least dozens of people were killed and injured in that car array, and more importantly, many carriages were set on fire!
Immediately afterwards, Lin Ziran saw that the soldiers in the car formation ran out in a hurry one by one, which made Lin Ziran a little puzzled.
Why don't they put out the fire!
At this time, Luo Mazi said with a panicked face: "My lord, the cars behind are the vehicles that transport grenades!" ”
Hearing this, Lin Ziran was stunned for 0.5 seconds, and then cursed: "FUCK!" ”
As soon as he finished scolding, a flame suddenly rose in the car array in his sight, and then he heard a loud bang in his ears!
Bang!
Ammunition is gone!
