Section XIII

At this moment, a large number of Qing troops rushed across the suspension bridge, and the Han army sword and shield soldiers came into contact with hand-to-hand combat, tearing open several big holes at once, under the double blow of the city and the city, to Lin Feng's surprise, the sword and shield soldiers composed of almost all recruits miraculously did not collapse immediately, I don't know if it is the fledgling who is not afraid of tigers, or now he has not slowed down to think of running for his life, the soldiers at the head of the row actually shouted and started hand-to-hand combat with the Qing soldiers, and saw that Lin Feng's jaw, which was not high expectations for them, was about to fall. This shield soldier had already suffered heavy casualties, but now it can still withstand the impact of hand-to-hand combat? Didn't the military historians of later generations say that the army of this era is easy to collapse?!

The advanced theories of later generations were immediately verified, and when the sword and shield soldiers bravely entered hand-to-hand combat, the soldiers who were originally engaged in earth and stone cube operations were immediately shaken, and then dispersed. However, the bad thing is that their vacillation and rout immediately affected the chaos of the sword and shield soldiers, which made the morale of the Qing army even higher, and within a moment, the sword and shield soldiers also immediately collapsed, and the defeated soldiers fled in panic and fled towards the Han army in the rear.

This time it was the Swedish army lieutenant who really showed his face, seeing that the sword and shield soldiers in front had collapsed on all fronts, and the musket battalion immediately became agitated, and the original fine and orderly platoon gun shooting also seemed uneven at this moment, Lin Feng calmed down at this time, and stood in the rear and watched the army that was about to collapse from a distance. He has already been let out, and when he dies, he will be pulled down, even if he should pay the tuition.

Rick gasped, ran from one end of the team to the other with a few personal soldiers, and loudly cheered up his soldiers in a stiff Chinese, as if he had not seen the defeated soldiers rolling around him, but his efforts did not seem to have any effect, in fact, these two battalions of musket troops were not soldiers he trained, and he did not have the prestige of the commander of the unit here, and soon, when the Qing army approached, there were finally soldiers in the musket battalion who couldn't hold back the fear in their hearts, threw down the muskets and ran backwards, driving the formation to be chaotic, Rick immediately knocked him down with a single shot, and then drew his sword and stabbed the soldier who had fallen to the ground. Lin Feng watched from a distance, only to see Rick turn around and shout, he didn't know what he was shouting, under his shouting, the commanders of the two battalions led the junior officers to run out immediately, punching and kicking their own soldiers back, and reintegrating the formation.

Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that many of the officers in these two battalions seemed to be from Rick's seed company, could he still have such great appeal?!

Before thinking about it, the Qing army mixed with the defeated soldiers had rushed over, and the musket battalion immediately fired a continuous salvo with the muzzle of the gun, the first to be shot was the fleeing Han soldiers, the musket battalion ruthlessly fired at the comrades just now, the gunfire sounded again like fried beans, and the sword and shield soldiers opened their mouths wide, looking at the musket array filled with gunpowder smoke in disbelief, and slowly fell to the ground, and then were trampled by the follow-up flow of people to blur the flesh and blood.

The Qing army was stunned for a moment, and then shouted and launched a charge, the faces of the generals standing on the high place were pale, and now the Qing army rushed out to kill at least thousands of people, and the surging crowd of people was like ants who were not afraid of death, and the morale was extremely high, and the defenders at the head of the city also concentrated their firing weapons and attacked the only musket battalion that was preserved with all their might. Under the attack of crossbow arrows, some soldiers fell in the musket barracks.

The power of the musketeers was finally fully demonstrated at this time, with the continuous concentrated shooting of the series, the Qing army that rushed to the front fell down in pieces, although the power of the musket bullet was not large, but in this case, once it fell, it was immediately trampled to death by the flow of people, and there was no chance to stand up again, the Qing army that roared for a long time was unable to rush to the near place under the blow of intensive firepower, and their large number of casualties gave the musketeers great courage, and the military heart gradually calmed down, they were under the command of Rick, Column by column alternately covered the slow retreat, unhurried and methodical, looking at the war performance in the distance, some generals who originally despised Rick's training methods finally realized at this moment that the queue that the musket battalion spent months training desperately turned out to be not entirely for the pursuit of good looks, but it was still so useful.

The musket battalion gradually got out of the range of the firing weapons on the city wall, and no longer retreated, and at this moment the Qing army had fallen into a state of exhaustion, and the Qing generals commanding in front seemed to be unable to accept this result, completely lost their minds, and desperately drove their soldiers to charge, suffering heavy casualties again and again in vain.

When the commander of the Qing army tried to rely on the superiority of troops to outflank the two wings of the musket battalion, Liu Laosi in the rear finally woke up from his stunned state, and immediately reacted, jokingly, in front of tens of thousands of Han troops, he really thought he was a dead man, Liu Laosi's front immediately threw himself into the battlefield and met the Qing army from the two wings of the musket battalion.

"Ding...... Ding ...... "I don't know what kind of metal is knocking, the Qing army troops immediately stopped and slowly retreated, looking neatly formed and retreating without chaos." Lin Feng smiled slightly, this Qing army can indeed be called well-trained, but this kind of withdrawal is bound to suffer a big loss in the face of the musket battalion.

Sure enough, the slow tactical movements of the Qing army immediately attracted Rick's attention, and the musket battalion advanced slowly, always biting the ranks behind the Qing army's palace, and the non-stop volley finally forced the Qing army to flee in embarrassment, and did not stop the pursuit until it was close to the range of the crossbow arrows on the city wall.

The last soldier of the Qing army fled into the city gate, the gate slowly closed, and there were only more than 700 people left in the musket battalion, only to see that at this time Rick shouted an order, and the musketeers with high morale turned around in stride, and walked towards their own camp with neat steps, at this time the artillery and drums of the Han army stopped at the same time, and only heard the neat footsteps of hundreds of people for a while, and Rick, who was walking in the front, couldn't hold back the pride in his heart, and suddenly pulled out a slender sword, and elegantly made a knightly salute to Lin Feng on the hill. Tens of thousands of Han soldiers were silent, and tens of thousands of pairs of eyes stared blankly at Rick's strange but very pleasing posture. There was silence for a long time, and the army suddenly erupted in deafening applause without warning, and tens of thousands of people cheered in unison, as if they had won a great victory, and the drums sounded again, this time in a triumphant tone.

Lin Feng smiled bitterly, and looked at the head of Tianjin City, the Qing army looked a little discouraged, unlike those cheering soldiers, he and the generals behind him knew that this time was a defeat, but Rick's musket battalion performed too well, as a cover class, it actually stole the limelight of the protagonist in the end, and staged a big reversal at the last moment of defeat, and now he had to let Rick out of the limelight.

Lin Feng sighed, then looked solemn, solemnly raised his hand to Rick and returned the salute, lightly knocked the horse's belly, rushed down from the hill like the wind, and personally greeted the defeated musketeers. Rushing closer, he jumped off his horse, took Rick's hand, walked side by side with him, unceremoniously accepted the cheers with him, smiled on his face, but lowered his voice, and said to Rick in English, "What did you start saying to them?!" ”

Rick was stunned, "When?" I...... What was said? ”

"That's when the rout began to begin - what did you say to the officers and soldiers after you killed the deserter?!" Lin Feng frowned imperceptibly, and explained kindly and patiently.

"Oh!" Rick smirked, "I told the officers that we had murdered...... That one...... That's Kang or something...... Your Majesty, the enemy will never pardon us, and if we flee without a fight, we will not be forgiven by His Excellency the General, and we still have families in Beijing...... In short, we have no other choice...... So we can only ...... That fight to the death. Rick was in Chinese, stammering.

"I see!" Lin Feng was relieved, he patted Rick's shoulder with some guilt, and suddenly his heart moved, and he immediately jumped on his war horse, galloped to a high place, and gave a loud order, ordering all battalions to assemble under the hill.

"Brothers, ......" is unfortunate, the first shout is a little out of voice, it sounds a bit like the villain of the national army in the movie, Lin Feng pinched his throat in embarrassment, his luck dantian, puffed up his breath, and the green muscles soared and shouted, "We won the Qing army just now, because the brothers in the musket battalion are like men and did not run away, so Ben Shuai can't help but reward today!" ……”

Facing the expectant gaze of the soldiers of the musket battalion, Lin Feng shouted loudly, "Brothers of the musket battalion, each of you will be rewarded with ten taels of silver-" He dragged out his voice, seeing that the soldiers were slightly disappointed, he immediately said, "Add ten acres of land, one cow, and within ten years, the tax will be halved by ......."

“…… Banzai...... Long live the handsome!! ”

Lin Feng waved his hand and suppressed the cheers of the soldiers, "Dead brothers, I, Lin Feng, will never treat you badly, each person will be paid fifty taels of silver, thirty acres of land, and one cow, let's set the rules today, and in the future, the Han army will be killed and compensated, just follow this example - I will speak straight here, when you are a soldier and fight, you will shed blood and die, even if you are handsome, I don't dare to say that you will not die, but all the brothers who follow me with their heads don't have their heads, the old and the young in the family must have a score, my surname Lin spit and set up a nail, today Lao Tzu will put the words here- Lao Tzu doesn't dare to guarantee that all of you will not die, but the brothers who dare to protect themselves can close their eyes, tens of thousands of brothers here are listening, let's look back, if this is not fulfilled, my surname Lin will not die well if the sky thunders and splits......"

The army of "......" was silent for a long time, and suddenly cheered in unison, "Long live the marshal...... Banzai! ......" Compared with the previous time, this time the cheers were more violent, and they seemed to be more neat and sincere.

After cheering, Lin Feng smiled slightly, "...... So I'm going to remind you now, some brothers just ate for food when they were soldiers, and their families didn't register with us, and they couldn't find anyone when the time came, so they only complained that you couldn't find a thatched house by eating yourself, but don't say that I treat you badly! ”

"Haha......" the soldiers burst into laughter.

The laughter slowly subsided, Lin Feng suddenly smiled, his face changed again, and he said, "But there are rules for fighting wars, just now someone was greedy for life and afraid of death, so the Qing army took advantage of it, and let other brothers lose their lives in vain, I can't ignore it!" He turned his head sharply and shouted, "Liu Laosi-"

"In ...... Mark it in! Liu Laosi was stunned and hurriedly responded.

"Tie up all the officers who took the lead in escaping just now!"

At the sound of an order, dozens of unlucky people who had not yet reacted were pulled out in an instant, tied up and thrown on the ground, they looked at Lin Feng with a smiling face in fear, and kowtowed again and again at a loss to beg for mercy. "Dashuai spares his life...... The handsome man spared his life, and he didn't dare to do it anymore......"

"Spare your life?! Fuck, do you know why Lao Tzu is only looking for officials and not soldiers?! Lin Feng sneered a few times, pointing at the silent deserters, "You can't lift a word in everything, fuck you officials have fled for your life, and people are still beating up when they are soldiers?!" Lao Tzu doesn't trouble them, because they have a reason, do you understand?! ”

"Dashuai...... Dashuai, I've been with you since Linji County......"

Lin Feng interrupted him angrily, "Old man? Old timer?! Have you the fuck treated you badly? Your family's gold and silver, your house and your fields, what kind of old man is missing yours? - In addition to these, your family buys things Lao Tzu wants the merchant boss to lower the price, and Lao Tzu wants the doctor to see a doctor without charging money, even if he fucks wants to engage in women, Lao Tzu will also give it to you......" He paused, "On our territory, as long as it is a member of the Han Army, who doesn't take a look wherever he goes?" His grandmother, you ask yourself, which dynasty and generation of officers can have this blessing? - But as soon as the arrives on the battlefield, you give Lao Tzu a strain, leave your own soldiers and take the lead in escaping, do you know, our side has killed the Tartar Emperor and destroyed the Tartar Emperor's family, and once those brothers are thrown down by you, there will be no way to live - even if they surrender, there is no way to live!! - Do you fucking know?! ”

“……”

"What else do you have to say on a dog's day?"

“……”

Lin Feng sighed, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, forget it, this brother, I'm sorry for you this time, if I don't kill you today, do you say that the brothers who were left by you just now and died in vain under the knife of the Qing soldiers can close their eyes?!" He rubbed his eyes and found it difficult to get out of his eyes, so he had to give up this idea and waved his hand dejectedly, "Brothers, don't worry, I know the old and young in your family, and I will say hello to Mr. Li Guangdi when I turn around, with me Lin Feng in one day, they won't be able to freeze or starve!" ”

"Dashuai...... Humble ...... "The ......one who stood up was a burly man, and at a glance he knew that he was a simple-minded guy with developed limbs, at this moment he burst into tears, his expression was absolutely clear, and he was obviously moved by Lin Feng's sensational words, and he choked up and said, "Handsome...... We took a wrong step and killed our brothers, and we can't complain about others...... Let's follow Da Shuai in the next life!! ......" turned around and walked backwards first. , while walking, he shouted loudly, "His grandmother's, the head is just a big scar in the bowl, and he wants to die, eighteen years later, grandpa is a good man again!" ”

This heroism was obviously very contagious, and the remaining officers no longer begged for mercy and argued, silently kowtowed to Lin Feng a few times, and turned to follow behind the big man.

The scene was really like this, Lin Feng couldn't help but be a little moved, he was even a little impulsive, and almost opened his mouth to pardon them, but when he looked back, not only would his previous efforts be wasted, but also in the future, it would be difficult to bring the army with no military discipline, so he had to press it down. Looking at Liu Laosi's subordinate axe hands, he wondered in his heart whether he should go one step further and pour a few bowls of wine for them to see them off? In this way, the scene is more traditional and heroic.

When he was about to put the thoughts in his heart into action, Chen Menglei suddenly ran all the way from behind the formation, and ran straight towards the hill, at this moment he reversed his usual appearance, and climbed up the hill angrily with a pair of Buna shoes, his face was wet and full of sweat, Lin Feng's heart sank, jumped off the horse, reached out to support his thin body, patted his back with concern, and said with disgust, "Old Chen, you have to pay attention to your body, even if the sky falls......"

Chen Menglei didn't care about being moved, and panted and lay in Lin Feng's ear, "Lord...... Big things are not good! He stretched out his hand to hand over a military newspaper and whispered, "Tongzhou is in an emergency!" ”
