Chapter 319: The Storm in Hanzhong (2)

After a round of shooting, taking advantage of the panicked stall of the bandits, Jiang Deshen took his more than 100 people to turn their horses' heads and retreated backwards.

The vanguard Qu Tu advanced for about three miles, and by the time Jiang Deshen and the others rushed back to the location of the large army, the originally scattered personal guard regiment had already gathered and finished arraying.

Seeing Jiang Deshen and the others coming back, two roads were flashed on both sides of the queue and they were let in, and in an instant, they closed again and waited for them.

Liu Ximing had also arrived at the rear of the array, and when he saw Jiang Deshen coming back, he immediately asked him to come over and talk back.

"Brigade commander, it should be the bandits in Daba Mountain, the number is about 400 people, the weapons are messy, and there is no long-range firepower."

Jiang Deshen gasped slightly, while reporting the results of his observations.

Hearing this, Liu Ximing's heart was relieved, as long as it was not a large number of thieves like Zhang Xianzhong.

There was a sudden silence at the junction of the mountain stream, and except for the rear team responsible for guarding the rear, the Long Xiang Brigade was all engrossed in looking at the mountain pass in front.

After waiting for about two quarters of an hour, a figure suddenly appeared at the mountain pass.

Dozens of men in tattered gray-brown shirts ran from the corner of the mountain pass viciously, but they were suddenly frightened enough by the Longxiang Brigade waiting behind the mountain pass.

Without waiting for them to react, Liu Ximing gave an order.

"Slow Pace"

"One-two-one, one-two-one"

The footsteps of the Long Xiang Brigade on the ground made the bandits in front of them a little frightened, and the people running in front were already quietly trying to retreat.

But at this time, the bandit brigade also followed, and when the crowd was crowded, the mountain pass was a little chaotic.

The place where the Longxiang Brigade was arrayed was only more than seventy steps away from the mountain pass, and in just a few minutes, the distance was shortened to about fifty paces.

And at this time, the bandit leader Wang Tota who was hit had not yet run from the rear team to the front.

A hint of sharpness flashed in Liu Ximing's eyes, "Stand still, prepare to shoot." ”

The footsteps of "brushing" sounded, and the slowly moving dragon brigade stopped like a monster, collapsing a cloud of dust.

"Shooting"

"Bang" "Bang" "Bang"

The storm brought by the steel projectile instantly covered the bandits at the mountain pass, and at such a close distance, it was almost impossible for the Long Xiang II style to miss.

The more than 100 people who came out were all knocked to the ground at once, and Wang Tuota and the others, who were still on the back side of the mountain, watched more than 100 people fall to the ground in a wild noise at the mountain pass, and the rest of the people collapsed instantly.

""

"Vozh is a coward, run"

Hearing this ghost crying wolf, the Long Xiang Brigade stood still, still only caring about reloading.

"The Lobster Soldier doesn't deceive me."

Liu Ximing's thoughtless exclamation made Shao Derong, Li Biao and others a little confused.

The Longxiang Brigade has almost explored the musket method of combat in many battles, and the effective firing distance of the Longxiang 2 style is fixed, which is 50 paces

It's not a well-known fact that only internal shooting can ensure the maximum hit rate.

Liu Ximing looked at Shao Derong and smiled at him: "Didn't I tell you about world geography before?" ”

"The British kingdom that is gradually rising at the moment, their infantry array can withstand several rounds of fire from the enemy, advance to a distance of about fifty paces and then shoot back, as the commander of the Longxiang Brigade, do you think we can do it?"

Shao Derong was choked all of a sudden, and he didn't dare to pack a ticket for this kind of thing.

"Go ahead and chase down the enemy."

Liu Ximing issued an order to the Longxiang Brigade.

As he walked forward with the team, he said to Shao Derong with some sighs.

"It's not hard to win, it's rare to win all the time. We were promoted from the team to the brigade, and there were dozens of battles in between, but if there was a slight problem, there would be no good days today. ”

"So, you generals should pay more attention to team training. In the future, there will be more and more of us, and the more people there are, the team will be difficult to bring, not only to unify the thinking to work hard, so that the whole team can fight tough battles and dare to fight tough battles. ”

"Second brother, don't worry, I'll know." , Shao Derong hurriedly replied.

As he spoke, the Long Xiang Brigade had already rushed out of the bend in front of the mountain pass.

The bandits who came to rob were already scattered in all directions after being bombarded by them in the next few rounds, and Liu Ximing saw this situation, and immediately asked the Longxiang Brigade to collect troops to remain vigilant, and there was no need to chase them anymore.

"I didn't expect that there were bandits here, and the situation in Hanzhong was not optimistic."

Su Jin waited until the team settled down before getting off the carriage, and said this in the first sentence of meeting Liu Ximing.

He gave Liu Ximing a slight comparison forward, "In front of Dingjun Mountain, go out to Chu County, here has always been a traffic artery, if there is nothing wrong, there must be a large army stationed, the bandits are so arrogant, I want to come to Han Zhongwei can no longer control here." ”

Du Liangji, Zhao Xiangyang and others also came over at this time, and everyone's hearts were a little heavy when they heard Su Jin's words.

More than 100 corpses were placed in front of them, and they couldn't believe it, and Hanzhong was in chaos.

"Now do you know why the goods from Shaanxi can't come in," Xie Wenle sighed at Liu Ximing.

If it is said that Hanzhong is erosive, the most damaged among these people is their Xie family.

The Xie family has been running Boryeong Mansion for so many years, and they already have a number of fixed trade routes, but now that the war is raging, these trade routes are also out of a state of half-access and half-abandonment.

Before, the Liu family wanted to buy cotton from Shaanxi through the Xie family, but they could only receive a few hundred stones, which was really miserable and miserable.

The Xie family is not like Liu Ximing, who only knows how to throw money into Longxiang Camp like water.

They think that they have an official body to protect their bodies, this is the greatest martial virtue in the world, why do they need to raise their own soldiers.

Of course, there is no problem with this in ordinary years, but at this point, it is obvious that Liu Ximing's tricks are better.

What made everyone speechless was that although everyone had expected the chaos in Hanzhong, they obviously underestimated the extent of the chaos.

Until the mountain road of dozens of miles before Dingjun Mountain, the group encountered three waves of bandits who were not long-eyed to block the road and rob, of course, all of them were defeated by the Longxiang Brigade without much effort.

What made Shao Derong, Li Biao and others a little angry was that these bandits were as poor as ghosts, and they didn't even have a trophy.

According to them, it's a bit too shocking.

It wasn't until late afternoon that the Liu family's large group of men and horses walked out of the Daba Mountain Range and officially entered the Hanzhong Plain after crossing the Yangping Pass.

As soon as they came out of the mountains and forests, all the scholars felt that their hearts suddenly opened up, and it was too depressing to walk in the mountains for a long time.

The movement of more than 1,000 people was too great, and when they reached the county, they found that although it was not yet curfew, the city gate was already tightly closed.

Liu Ximing looked at the city through the telescope, the city wall of Chuxian County was no more than about two zhang high, the façade of the city wall was pitted, and the ruined city wall was full of disheveled soldiers and strong men.

Except for the dozens of people who looked like archers of the Inspection Division wearing cyan uniforms, the rest were temporarily brought in, all of them were wearing plain short brown, and their faces were full of nervousness.

"We are past merchants in Sichuan, and we have all the road certificates, please let us go into the city."

Escorted by two soldiers of the Longxiang Brigade, the guide Shi Erwa ran to the city wall in fear and shouted towards the city.

There was a commotion in the city, and a basket was put down, and Shi Erwa hurriedly stepped forward and handed over the paperwork she carried.

Liu Ximing obviously saw that the expressions of the soldiers at the head of the city relaxed a lot.

However, after a while, a small military attaché-looking man at the head of the city shouted loudly below.

"It's getting late, the county has an order, you can't let it go, you can spend the night outside the city gate."

"Damn it", Li Biao was a little angry when he heard this, and he brushed the ground and whipped the horsewhip.

Shi Erwa turned around and said with a smile: "The old man is angry, there are only a few thousand people in the county town now, they are really afraid of us." ”

Shao Derong also smiled at Li Biao: "There are so many of us, people should be worried, if we are really relieved to enter, I am afraid that this county town will be broken a long time ago." ”

Hearing that the people in front of him came back to report, Liu Ximing also understood this, and directly ordered to go around to the east of the county seat and set up camp.

Seeing that the gang of people outside the city were obediently stationed outside the city, the people in the city finally put their minds at ease.

With Liu Ximing, the captain of the transport brigade, there is not much difference between staying in the city and camping outside the city.

Not only are all kinds of tents complete, but Longxiang Brigade even opened a barbecue party outside the city.

The peppers in Liu Xi's life space have been harvested, and the people in Liujia Village who have tasted it can still leave this thing.

With cumin and chili powder, the roasted whole lamb of this era can be regarded as truly perfect.
