Chapter 185: Guarding the Tail Mountain (2)
More than 40,000 villagers rushed up to kill, and there were more than 1,000 bandits mixed in the team, constantly shouting in the crowd, driving everyone to rush up and fight with the Yushan Town guards.
At this time, the young villagers who rushed up were less than 100 steps away from the defense line of the military headquarters in the escort team, and I saw more than 40,000 villagers and young people divided into more than a dozen groups of people along the mountain road, rushing up like dense ants, and it looked like a full momentum from a distance!
Liu Juntao didn't panic when he saw this, but he sighed secretly in his heart, after this war, I don't know how many people will be ruined, and how many orphans and widows will live miserably!
"Ye Zongliu! If I don't kill you, I swear I won't be a man! ”
Liu Juntao secretly swore in his heart, and then roared: "Attack!" ”
On the defense line of the Central Military Department, the first one deployed was the bird gunner of Bai Yuxing's department, and behind it was the men and horses of Tao Jixin's department, and after receiving Liu Juntao's order, the two ordered to open fire immediately.
"Ready! Put! ”
Bai Yuxing took the lead in ordering the shooting, and more than 400 young people suddenly opened fire, and a fire dragon instantly appeared in front of the defense line, sweeping over like a storm, directly sweeping down a large area of the villagers dozens of steps away!
Immediately afterwards, the second row of the guards of Tao Ji's new department also fired, and the third row of guards followed by Qing Zhuang who also opened fire, at this time the first row of Bai Yuxing's department was filled again, and with Bai Yuxing's roar, the guards of the department opened fire again.
At this time, the front of the entire defense line of the Central Military Department was like a fairyland, and the huge roar was like a thunderbolt.
There was not a single living person within sixty paces of the front line, and sixty paces away were corpses and wounded people all over the ground, and the villagers who rushed up had already been stunned, some of them screamed and turned around and fled, and most of them stood stupidly in place, or ran around, and then were shot dead on the spot by the fierce fire of the Yushan Town Guards.
At this moment, seeing that the Central Military Department had already opened fire, Hu Dexing's headquarters on the left flank of the frontal defense line and Zhang Xiaojun's headquarters on the right flank also opened fire one after another, and a crossfire network was formed in front of the entire defense line in an instant!
Thousands of young men of the escort took turns shooting, like a storm of lead bullets constantly washed away the rushing thieves, sweeping down one crowd after another, in less than a moment, the young and strong villagers who rushed up were completely defeated, leaving only more than 2,000 corpses, paving all the roads up the mountain bright red!
At the bottom of the mountain, Ye Zongliu looked at the scene on the mountain with some distraction, and his heart was also shocked, and he couldn't say anything when he opened his mouth.
Although Ye Zongliu also knew that the firearms were sharp, he never expected that the firearms of the Yushan Town Guards would be so strong, and it would be effortless to kill people, it was like child's play!
"How else is this going to be fought?"
Ye Zongliu was secretly anxious, but at this time, he had no way to retreat, so he could only continue to fight, even if he wanted to retreat, he would have to wait until more than 40,000 villagers were exhausted!
Thinking of this, Ye Zongliu immediately mobilized 10,000 people to step forward immediately, preparing to stop the villagers who were scattered down the mountain, and immediately organized the rout troops to reorganize their positions at the foot of the mountain.
At the same time, Ye Zong left an order to take local materials and immediately make improvised shields to prepare for the next attack.
Although it is said to be a simple shield, it is actually a simple chopping of trees into thick wooden segments, which are carried by several people and rushed to block bullets.
At this time, 10,000 thieves were trying their best to curb the collapse of tens of thousands of villagers, and at the same time, thousands of thieves were also racing against time to make simple shields.
And Liu Juntao on the mountain also saw this scene, but he didn't make any moves.
At this time, Hu Dexing sent people to ask for battle, wanting to take advantage of the chaos of the thieves under the mountain, lead his troops to rush down, and definitely defeat the bandit army in one fell swoop.
But Liu Juntao immediately refused, and just ordered all the troops to hold their positions.
In fact, Hu Dexing's simplicity Liu Juntao also thought of it, but the mountain road is rugged, and all the young and strong guards use firearms, and the requirements for the formation are very strict, and if you rush down, you can't guarantee the strict formation of the formation, which will seriously affect the play of firepower in the battle.
Moreover, although the bandits under the mountain are chaotic, they have not yet been completely defeated, coupled with the large number of people, if they rush down, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not engage in a melee with the army of bandits, and when the time comes, the loss of the young and strong escort team will outweigh the losses!
Hu Dexing was also born in the army, and after receiving Liu Juntao's order, he also figured it out, so he led his troops to defend the position.
Really!
It didn't take long for the 40,000 villagers under the mountain to be stabilized, of course, this was also the result of the thieves killing dozens of people, and the 40,000 villagers were stabilized.
After a while, the simple shields made by the bandit army were transported to the bottom of the mountain one after another, and a total of more than 300 masks were made, all of which were equipped to 40,000 villagers.
After that, with Ye Zongliu's order, 40,000 villagers were forced to rush up the mountain again, but this time, the villagers on every mountain road were firmly hiding behind their shields, and they didn't dare to show their heads easily.
Soon, these villagers rushed to a distance of fifty paces from the defense line of the escort team, and the Central Military Department, Hu Dexing's headquarters, and Zhang Xiao's military headquarters opened fire one after another, and the entire defense line was once again filled with gunsmoke and roaring.
Only this time, because of the protection of the shield, only a few unlucky ghosts were shot and fell, and the vast majority of the villagers were safe and sound.
In this way, the morale of the 40,000 villagers was greatly boosted, and the bandits who were mixed in the crowd took the opportunity to agitate, and several crowds instantly accelerated their pace and rushed towards the defense line of the escort team.
Seeing this, Liu Juntao sneered and shouted: "Earthquake thunder! ”
"Thunderbolt forward!"
With an order, the mine-throwers of the Central Military Department, Hu Dexing's Division, and Zhang Xiao's Military Department stepped forward one after another, and a total of two or three hundred mine-throwers from the three divisions threw earth-shattering thunderbolts almost at the same time, falling like raindrops among the 40,000 villagers.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
"Ahh
"What is this? Yes! ”
The bombing was incessant and the screams were even louder!
The 40,000 villagers were still rejoicing just now, thinking that they could finally rush forward this time and no longer have to be shot from afar, but they didn't expect to encounter the baptism of earth-shattering thunder!
Hundreds of thunder throwers went into battle together, and such a density of earth-shattering thunder attacks could not be withstood even by the officers and soldiers of the battalion, not to mention the young and strong villagers who were temporarily coerced.
"Defeated!"
"Let's go! I can't live here! ”
The entire 40,000 villagers suddenly blew up their nests, and those improvised shields were discarded everywhere, and they all turned and fled, and although the thieves in the crowd tried desperately to stop them, they still couldn't help.
In the face of the bandits who prevented them from escaping down the mountain, these originally honest villagers raised their blades and fought with those bandits.
Although these bandits were more ferocious, they couldn't stand the large number of young and strong villagers, and rushed up like a tide, and after a while, the bandits in the crowd were killed, and the remaining more than 30,000 villagers were like a flood breaking through the dam, rushing towards the 30,000 thieves of Ye Zongliu's department under the mountain.
Seeing this, Liu Juntao immediately laughed, this battle was already in his hands, so he ordered Yan Hu to immediately lead the young men of the department to cover up and kill, and at the same time ordered to light the wolf smoke and send a signal to Zhou Zongsheng's iron cavalry!
At the same time, Ye Zongliu at the foot of the mountain suddenly looked like ashes, this time more than 30,000 villagers were young and completely collapsed, not only could not be stopped, but the defeated troops who had already broken their courage would also scatter the 30,000 horses under their command.
This battle is over!
Seeing this, Ye Zongliu was also decisive, and immediately ordered the 30,000 thieves to retreat, preparing to abandon the more than 30,000 villagers on the spot, and flee back to Yejiabao directly with the 30,000 thieves.
However, at this moment, how could Liu Juntao let Ye Zongliu calmly withdraw?
Yan Hu led the young men of his subordinates to cover up and kill, and rushed down the mountain directly.
And in front of the escort team Qingzhuang, more than 30,000 villagers who were screaming and collapsed had already rushed to the front of the 30,000 bandits, entangled with the thieves, and even made it impossible for the bandits of Ye Zongliu's department to withdraw immediately!
