When the sun was a pole high, a scout came to report: "The bandits' team is still two miles from here, and they will be here soon." m.xymjc.”

He Zhiyuan and Xu Detian looked at each other and smiled, He Zhiyuan said: "I really let Song Zongqi say it right." How many bandits are there approximately? How many are there on horseback? ”

"The line was very long, estimated at five or six hundred people, and the horsemen were in front, about seventy or eighty horses." The Scout replied.

Xu Detian asked again: "What weapons do they all carry?" ”

"There was a mess, there were big knives, spears, bows and arrows, and some with sticks."

After hearing this, Xu Detian sneered and immediately ordered: "All the soldiers are lying down, each looking for favorable terrain to hide, and preparing for battle." ”

When the standard-bearer heard the order, he immediately waved the flag and told Ma Wu on the other side of the road. As a person who does not accept at night, Xu Tangyi attaches great importance to news exploration and message transmission, and each general flag is equipped with a flag bearer, who is specially used to deliver news.

Then, after thinking about it, Xu Detian ordered again: "Each general flag, take the small flag as a shooting unit, the first small flag is shot, retreat and reload, after a breath, the second small flag continues to shoot, and so on, shoot in an orderly manner, and do not let the gun go anywhere." ”

The standard-bearer immediately passed this new order to Ma Wu and Jiang Yuanqing on the other side of the road.

After a while, another scout came to report: "The bandits have begun to enter the Tiger Leaping Meat Valley." ”

Xu Detian nodded, and then ordered: "Everyone check the guns again, don't shoot without my order!" ”

All the soldiers checked the gunpowder and bullets again, and then pointed their guns at the road down the hill.

He Zhiyuan took the opportunity to observe the terrain, his team was at the top of the hill, the top of the mountain was about 50 zhang away from the foot of the mountain, this distance was exactly the best shooting distance for the rifle, and now it was condescending and occupied a favorable position. If the bandits really dare to rush up, they can only be beaten passively without many bows and arrows. Moreover, the range of the bow and arrow is up to a hundred paces, and in the case of a back-attack, the range of the bow and arrow will be greatly reduced.

In such a situation, how much casualties the bandits can endure without collapsing depends on the bandits' will to fight and the command ability of the big boss. However, He Zhiyuan was seriously suspicious of the bandits' will to fight, and he even believed that as long as there were 10 percent casualties, the bandits would collapse.

He Zhiyuan secretly said that the terrain chosen by Wei this week was good, which was conducive to the deployment of his troops' firepower, of course, if he used a three-stage attack on flat ground, it would be more powerful, but in the mountains, the chance of fighting the bandits on flat ground was not great.

But even if the war started on the mountain road, He Zhiyuan had information that made this group of bandits come and go!

After waiting for half a moment, the vanguard of the bandits gradually came into view, and the seventy or eighty people in the lead were all riding horses, all holding steel knives in their hands, obviously the elite of this group of bandits, that is, the Lian family son mentioned by Zheng Zhutou.

When everyone saw the bandits entering the ambush circle, they all clutched the butts of their guns and waited with bated breath. Some recruits were sweating from their nervous palms in the winter.

Xu Detian said to the nervous recruits: "Steady, don't be nervous. If your finger doesn't listen, you can take your finger off the trigger first to avoid misfire and expose the target. After you get your first shot, you'll be less nervous. ”

A few nervous recruits, blushing with shame,

But according to Xu Detian's suggestion, his fingers temporarily left the trigger.

Zheng Zhutou suddenly exclaimed: "The one who rides a black horse and carries a big knife is Wang Heitou!" ”

When Xu Detian heard Zheng Zhutou's words, he picked up his gun and aimed at Wang Heitou.

At this time, He Zhiyuan said: "Don't shoot him to death, I'll keep him for trial." ”

When Xu Detian heard this, he didn't speak, just nodded slightly. Then a gunshot rang out, and Wang Heitou fell headlong off the horse, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

He didn't expect that the other party would have a musket anyway, walking on the mountain road, without the slightest defense, he fell off the horse, if it weren't for He Zhiyuan's words just now, he would have seen the king of Hades, although he didn't kill him, but he hit his right arm, but it hurt him so much that he fainted on the spot. Lead bullet is different from the steel bullet of later generations, it has a soft texture, after hitting the human body, it will shatter in the body, and it will blow up a large hole in the body, hitting the left chest is a 100% mortality, hitting the right arm, even if it does not die at the time, it is difficult to cure later. Because lead bullet is poisonous, with the current level of medical care, the wound can only be festered in the end, and he will die of pain.

Xu Detian's gunfire was an order, and when everyone heard the gunshots, the first small flags of each general flag fired at the same time. Most of them were aimed at the bandits on horseback in the ranks. As a result, in just one round of shooting, more than thirty people were killed by these horseback elites.

Before they could react, the second round of shooting had begun, and as a result, more than twenty more Jing Shui had been shot.

Then came the third, fourth, and fifth rounds......

Where have these bandits been hit by such dense fire. They were just ruffians who could fight in groups, and they would never have dreamed of such a brutal war.

When they saw that there was still a fresh life beside them just now, there was an extra blood hole in their bodies in an instant, and their bodies twisted and struggled, and they died tragically after a while. Or maybe after being hit in the body, he didn't die right away, but lay on the ground wailing and crying. All the living bandits felt as if they had entered the Shura Hell, as if they were in agony and fear.

Due to the unknown life and death of the big boss, most of the elite on horseback in front of him have been killed and wounded, and the entire bandit team has lost its command. The bandits, who were already a rabble, and some of them didn't even know the least of lying down, completely became the target of passive beating at this time.

The bandits who were not shot, some of them were pale with fright, stiff bodies, and sat on the ground, unable to even move; Some people vomited on the spot when they saw gushing blood, mutilated corpses, and internal organs that had been knocked out by lead bullets; More people turned around in fright and ran back; Others sped up and ran, trying to get out of this mountain road.

Ding & Yuanzhen and Guan Yuede, who were blocking at both ends of the mountain road, saw that there were bandits running towards them on the opposite side, and immediately ordered the soldiers to shoot. Due to the lack of width of the road, it was not possible to deploy all forces. The two general flags changed the three-stage strike to a four-stage strike and a five-stage strike.

Suddenly, more than a dozen corpses appeared at both ends of the mountain road, and these frightened bandits saw that they could not rush out in front of them, so they turned around and ran back again.

The bandits, who were arrogant and aggressive just now, are now like lost dogs, and they can't live in fear.

And the soldiers who were lying on the top of the hill couldn't see the tragic situation on the road down the hill clearly, they only saw that some of them were upside down, and some were still standing, so the soldiers raised their guns and aimed at them

people. As long as Xu Detian did not give the order to stop shooting, they would keep loading, shooting, shooting, and loading......

After nearly twenty rounds of shooting, there was no one standing on the road down the hill. Even if they were not shot, they knew that they could save their lives by lying down at this time, and out of the instinct of survival, they naturally would not stand as targets.

The whole battle had been going on for less than half an hour, and half an hour before it was a huge team, but now most of the bandits were corpses or wounded, and less than a hundred were not shot. At this time, there was no sound on the mountain road except the sound of the horses, the groans of the wounded, and the bitter weepings of the survivors.

He Zhiyuan climbed on the top of the mountain and witnessed the entire battle, and did not encounter a single resistance during the whole process. When he saw that no one was standing anymore, he said to Xu Detian: "I see that it is almost over, you can stop." ”

So Xu Detian ordered: "All soldiers, stop shooting!" ”

Then he ordered: "All the soldiers, in a warning formation, march down the mountain." ”

Zheng Zhutou has been staying with He Zhiyuan, although he is timid and afraid of death, he is not stupid, but he is still a little smart. He knew that He Zhiyuan was the de facto leader of the team and the core of the entire team. So he decided that it was safest to be with him.

From the moment the battle began, he was stunned by what was happening in front of him. In his mind, the muskets could shoot at a maximum of seventy paces, and a distance of a hundred paces from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, but these soldiers could shoot with ease, and the muskets did not need to be ignited. The bandits below the mountain were beaten to the ground, and they didn't even have a chance to escape, let alone attack the mountain. Without command, an offensive is simply impossible.

It was only then that he realized that it was no wonder that He Gongzi was so confident. It turned out that the firearm in his hand's hand had hit so far, and it was shooting much faster than anything he had ever seen. Needless to say, this must be another invention of He Gongzi. With this weapon in hand, why not be afraid of these bandits with steel knives and even wooden sticks!

Wine inspires courage, and victory can also inspire courage. Seeing that victory was in sight, Zheng Zhutou changed his original timid appearance, got up from the ground, and walked quickly down the mountain. He thought in his heart that if he followed such a team, even if he didn't personally participate in the battle, he could brag about it in front of his subordinates, relatives and friends for half a lifetime when he returned. And if he also followed behind and pretended, his face would be even brighter, and maybe Lord Zhizhou would praise him.

Everyone is willing to fight this kind of tailwind battle, and Zheng Zhutou is of course no exception. At this time, he was no longer afraid, took out his steel knife, followed the team, and ran down the mountain with He Zhiyuan......

When they rushed down the hill, everyone saw a hellish sight. The horror of the dead, the pain of the wounded, and the fear of the survivors made them realize that this was not a battle, but a massacre!

Lead bullet is a very inhumane weapon, hit by lead bullet, the wound will leave a large wound surface, even if you do not die on the spot, the wound will festering and die later, only more pain than the death on the spot. Therefore, in modern times, lead bullet has been banned by international organizations.

But in this era, it doesn't matter what it takes, as long as you can kill the enemy. When He Zhiyuan saw the wounded who had been shot but did not die, he directly ordered to use a mending knife to prevent him from suffering any more.
