Chapter 206: Mushroom-growing bandits

At this time, there was such a situation in the Ming army at the head of the city, and two places were hit by concentrated firepower, and caused certain casualties, which brought great panic to the Ming army in both places, but the Ming army in other places was still fine.

But this is not the key, the key is that panic is contagious, watching the Ming army next to it fall, the Ming army in other places will think: Wait for those thieves to shoot at them, wouldn't it be very bad?

There are many Ming troops who think so, so even those Ming troops who have not been hit by firepower still dare not come forward.

In this case, those archers naturally did not dare to lean out to shoot arrows accurately, so they could only shoot arrows outward with their eyes closed, and as for where the arrow branch would fly, it could only be asked God.

In fact, now the heavy armor sword and shield soldiers led by Butcher Chen have not crossed the distance of eighty meters!

The result is undoubtedly that the Ming army's premature archery caused most of the arrows to fly in front of the Tang army, not to mention, and a few arrows that spanned 80 meters were not accurate and powerful at all.

Looking at the arrows falling in front of him, Butcher Chen grinned, the Ming army at the head of the city was not as strong as those in Fengjiazhuang.

At the beginning, those young men of Fengjiazhuang waited until they were within range to shoot arrows, and although they caused few casualties to themselves, because of the protection of armor at that time, to be honest, the hit rate of those archers of the Feng family was still good at the beginning.

Wang Danxu, who was riding on a horse at the back, looked at the undisciplined counterattack of the Ming army at the head of the city, and also showed a smile, and said with a relaxed expression: "It seems that our luck is good, it should be one of their senior officials who hit just now!" ”

Immediately, Fang Dongquan beside him picked up the conversation and said: "It's better for your eyes, if you hadn't asked us to hit the city gate tower just now, we wouldn't have been able to hit that big official!" ”

Wang Danxu said: "Who let a large group of them stand stupidly on the tower of the city gate, and the official is wearing a dazzling scale armor, who is so eye-catching that he doesn't beat him!" ”

Wang Danxu said so, but he also had to admire his luck, which could knock down a big official with one shot from a distance of 100 meters, and this luck was not to be said.

The accuracy of the arquebus is so poor that it is obvious to all, aiming at the target, the bullet can be more than ten meters away.

He didn't expect to hit a big official just now, he just saw that there were many people in the city gate tower, and they were all standing stupidly, which made it clear that he wanted to let himself shoot a volley at them!

This wave of fighting, even if the hit rate is low, it doesn't matter, there are always a few results, anyway, the focus is on the density of firepower, who cares about the low hit rate of a single gun.

But what he didn't expect was that there was a big official of the Ming army in this battle!

The generals of the Ming army who can wear scale armor cannot be big-headed soldiers or low-level officers, not to mention more than 100 households, or even 1,000 households.

If you're lucky, you can't stop it!

Wang Danxu, who was in a good mood, said loudly: "Brothers, work harder, they all aim at Lao Tzu and fight again, and when I go back, I will let General Chen kill the pig that I received yesterday, and we will eat meat tonight!" ”

Hearing Wang Danxu's words, the soldiers of the musket team couldn't help but swallow their saliva, it was meat, they hadn't eaten it for many days.

Although they wandered outside the mountains because they could eat the enemy, the food was much better than when they were in Huangzhu Mountain, but meat was still in short supply, there was no way, there was not much meat these days, and even if they robbed, they couldn't grab much.

Even if you grab a sporadic amount of meat, but if you are divided by more than 500 people, each person can only eat some meat scraps.

In order to be able to eat a piece of meat at night, you have to aim and fight well!

With this in mind, the soldiers of those musket teams were all excited and carefully aimed, as if the Ming army in the city in front of them was a big fat pig!

But the next result was a little frustrating, the Ming army suffered two waves of volleys, especially after the city gate tower was hit by a volley that caused Long Dajun to be injured, these Ming troops learned smartly, and they all hid behind the city wall and refused to come out.

So much so that when you look at it from outside the city, there is no one on the top of the city, as if it is an empty city!

In the third salvo, they did not achieve a single result, and all the bullets missed.

In this regard, Wang Danxu was also a little helpless, no matter how powerful his musket team was, he couldn't hit the Ming soldiers hiding behind the city wall!

For this, the only way to do this was to give the order to suspend the shooting, so that the soldiers would remain on alert and wait for the order to shoot at any time.

Then he looked back at Li Xuan on the hill, he was also waiting for Li Xuan's order!

On the hill, Li Xuan retracted his gaze from the city wall in front of him, and then turned to Zeng Ziwen, Qian Mengjiu and the others: "Everyone, Aiqing, now that the enemy army can't shrink, what should our army do?" ”

Zeng Ziwen said: "Back to Your Majesty, my musket team is incomparable, just a few rounds of shooting have already made the puppet Ming thief army frightened, and have no intention of facing the battle, the minister thinks that the next step can let General Chen and them go up to build a bridge and climb the city!" ”

When he spoke, Zeng Ziwen showed a look of leaping and trying, obviously looking forward to attacking the city directly.

However, Qian Mengjiu shook his head and said: "It is not appropriate to attack the city rashly, although our army has suppressed the enemy army, but once it starts to climb the city, in order to prevent accidental injury, the musket team is bound to stop, and the soldiers who will enter the city are afraid that they will fall into a crisis!" ”

As he spoke, he turned to look at Li Xuan and said, "Your Majesty, even though the Ming army at the head of the city has been suppressed, there are still a lot of defenders in the city, and we still need to be cautious!"

In the opinion of Wei Chen, now we should continue to maintain the pressure on the Ming army at the head of the city, and try to fill the moat, lure the Ming army to counterattack, and strive to make the musket team make another contribution and hit the morale of the enemy! ”

Li Xuan nodded slightly, 'um',

Immediately, he said to the herald beside him: "Order the baggage team, let them send soldiers to prepare to fill the river!" ”

Qian Mengjiu's proposal was still more appetizing to him, to put pressure on the Ming army by filling the moat, forcing them to counterattack, so that the musket team could fire a few more volleys, although it may not be a lot of results, but it is much better than risking to go to the city.

After all, they didn't really want to attack Zhengtai County, they were just here to scare people, and there was no need to really go to the city.

Don't talk about the wounded and casualties, what if the Ming army really breaks through the city without fighting?

When the time comes, will he go into the city or not? If you don't enter the city, you always feel panicked, but when you enter the city, it's not looking for death, it is estimated that it will not be long before countless Ming troops will flock from all directions, even if they are all serf guards, but they can also destroy his Tang Dynasty.

It's still Qian Mengjiu, an old comrade, who is deeply rooted in my heart, and knows what I want, so he will put forward a proposal to only fight and not attack.

On the contrary, Zeng Ziwen, who did not know enough about the national policy of the Tang Dynasty, only had war in his mind, only victory in his mind, and no matter what to do after victory.

This Comrade Xiao Zeng has to teach for a while, and he has to make him understand that our Tang Dynasty is a group of bandits who grow small mushrooms, and if they can develop obscenely, at most they will occasionally plant two mushrooms, but when the enemy comes, they must hide and hide, and don't let them see it.

When they have a certain strength in the future, they will plant mushrooms all over the mountains and poison them!
