Chapter 135: The Sound of Firecrackers (1)

The night is dark, there are still sheng songs in Beining Town, Kong Sancai has been drunk for four consecutive days, and this night there are two prostitutes? Under the service of the woman, she fell into a deep sleep.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and the sound was heard in the silence of the night.

"Bastard! Who is it! ”

Kong Sancai only felt a splitting headache, and yelled loudly with great dissatisfaction, sleeping next to the two prostitutes? The women were also woken up, and they all got up and went to open the door.

A member of the Kong family walked in timidly and said in a low voice: "The head of the family, the housekeeper Uncle Lin has sent someone here, saying that there is something important to discuss, please lead a group of people to return to Ningyang County immediately!" This matter is urgent! ”

Kong Sancai rubbed his eyes, lay on the bed without moving, and said faintly: "Didn't Uncle Lin say anything specific?" ”

"The head of the family, Uncle Lin only said that it was about the battle against Yushan Town, please lead the people back to Ningyang County immediately after receiving the news!"

Kong Sancai was shocked when he heard this, and said secretly: "Could it be that Liu Juntao has made a move?" ”

This time, Kong Sancai concentrated all the men and horses of the Kong family in Beining Town, preparing to start a decisive battle with Liu Juntao here, resulting in a very weak defense in Ningyang County, and there were only one hundred and ten families in the outer house in the city, and there were no other people and horses.

However, the Kong family's wealth, grain and grass are all hoarded in the outer house of Ningyang County, if there is something wrong in Ningyang County, even if Beining Town wins the battle here, the Kong family will be greatly injured, and it will be in a state of collapse!

Thinking of this, Kong Sancai immediately sat up and scolded the two prostitutes beside him? The woman hurriedly changed her clothes, and at the same time said to the entourage: "Gather a team of five hundred horses immediately, and return to Ningyang County with me in an hour!" ”

Although Kong Sancai has been drunk and dreaming of death during this period of time, and does not ask about business, Kong Sancai is a strong party after all, once he cheers up, he is also decisive and does not hesitate!

An hour later, Kong Sancai dragged his body that was a little weak from the color of wine and stepped on the horse, and drove out of Beining Town with five hundred riders, heading towards Ningyang County.

Moreover, most of these five hundred riders were the same as Kong Sancai, their feet were fluttering, their eyes were blank, and they were obviously hollowed out by wine.

Under the leadership of Kong Sancai, everyone hurried along the official road in a drowsy manner, riding horses and galloping in the night, and countless complaints and angry scoldings continued to sound with the roaring hooves of horses, rendering the originally silent night extremely noisy.

At the same time, Liu Juntao, who had been stationed north of Beining Town for a long time, also started to act, while ordering Zhou Zongsheng to lead the horse team of Yushan Town to set off in advance and rush to the periphery of Beining Town to ambush, preparing to intercept the scattered Confucian horses.

After that, Liu Juntao led more than 1,000 young men from the military headquarters of the Yushan Town Escort Team to the south and set off towards Beining Town.

In this attack, Liu Juntao learned the lesson of the previous attack on Chenjiabao, prepared a secret weapon for the siege, and equipped all the equipment to Bai Yuxing's department.

More than an hour later, Liu Juntao led a large group of men and horses to the north of Beining Town and began to form a formation.

The formation of the Yushan Town Guards has been very different from before, from a square classical phalanx to a large horizontal formation of three rows in front and back, each with a total of four sentinels, one row is a sentinel, and the remaining one sentinel is used as a reserve.

At this time, Bai Yuxing had already led a total of men and horses to line up the big horizontal formation, Bai Yuxing pulled out his waist knife and stood on the far left side of the horizontal formation, and the sentry men and horses that were originally used as a reserve team had been prepared at this time, and all the young people were holding clay pots one by one, and the mouth of the clay pot bottle had been sealed, and a lead was extended.

These clay pots are exactly the earthen ten thousand enemies that Liu Juntao came up with, and the casing is full of gunpowder and broken porcelain pieces, ironclad!

And Tao Jixin also finished the reorganization of the subordinates, just behind Bai Yuxing's subordinates, ready to support Bai Yuxing's subordinates in battle.

And Liu Juntao led the remaining two generals to press the formation at the rear, ready to deal with the possible counterattack of the Kong family at any time.

Liu Juntao looked up at the night, and saw that it would soon be bright, so he ordered the whole army to attack, striving to take the town of Beining before dawn.

"Forward!"

After Bai Yuxing received the order, he immediately roared, and the commander next to him immediately sounded the drum on his waist.

With the drumbeat of "dong" and "dong", more than 340 young men of Bai Yuxing's department marched forward in formation and suppressed it towards Beining.

At this time, the more than 8,000 Confucian family horses stationed in Beining Town still did not have any reaction, and the drunken pleasure in the past few days has made everyone relax their vigilance, after the alcoholism, almost all the people of the Kong family are sleeping, and they have no idea about the people and horses of Yushan Town who are pressing over outside!

Looking at the quiet wall of Beining Town, listening to the rhythmic drums in his ears, and looking at his companions who were in a strict formation, Bai Yuxing's originally nervous mood gradually relaxed, and his heart also surged with infinite battle intent.

It didn't take long for Bai Yuxing to lead his troops to a place thirty steps north of the city wall, and he shouted, "Stop advancing!" ”

"Tiger! Tiger! Tiger! ”

More than 340 young men shouted in unison, stopped thirty paces from the city wall, and began to prepare for battle.

"Ten thousand enemies! Give it to me! ”

Bai Yuxing roared, and a sentry behind the horizontal formation rushed forward, and everyone used fire folds to ignite the earthen ten thousand enemies in their hands, and then threw them out.

I saw dozens of home-made enemies turn into stars, and then smashed on the city wall, and suddenly the flames splashed and roared!

There were even nearly 100,000 enemies in the middle of the city gate, and the wooden city gate was blown to pieces in an instant!

Bai Yuxing was overjoyed when he saw this, he never expected that the first time he led the troops to attack, it would be so smooth, and he opened the gate of Beining Town in just one attack!

However, before the flames dissipated, there were bursts of shouts and killings in Beining Town, and then countless Kong horses rushed out of the north gate, mixed with some scattered riders!

Bai Yuxing's heart sank when he saw this, after all, this was the first time he went into battle, and he hurriedly shouted: "First row!" Fire! ”

As Bai Yuxing's arm waved down vigorously, a row of roars suddenly sounded, and gunpowder smoke erupted in front of the horizontal formation, forming a neat white line.

"Retreat! Above! Lifting the Gun...... Fire! ”

The roar of the orthodox nine-year-old bird gun continued neatly in rows with Bai Yuxing's order, like a surging tide, wave after wave, and the interval between each wave was only about ten seconds, which can be described as fierce and abnormal!

"When the first platoon fired, it didn't hit much, and then only human figures could be seen, so is this also called a war?"

Bai Yuxing muttered in his heart, but he didn't pause on his lips, still giving the order to fire.

At this time, Tao Jixin, who was preparing to support in the back, also looked at the battle situation in front, only to see the rows of young men who quickly retreated to the rear of the formation after firing, and then began to calmly load the paper shell fixed ammunition, repeating the preparations before firing over and over again.

"I can't see people clearly, and I don't know how many casualties there are among those Kong families."

At this time, Bai Yuxing secretly thought, and was still a little apprehensive in his heart, worried that those Confucian horses would rush out of the thick gunsmoke, so he could order all of them to bayonet in time!

And Liu Juntao was also a little hesitant, after all, at this time, the front of the battle was filled with gunsmoke, covering the situation of the thousands of Kong family horses in front of him, although he could barely see the actions of the opponent's team, but for the shooting results of Bai Yuxing's young and strong troops, Liu Juntao had no bottom in his heart, after all, he fired dozens of steps away.

After a while, Liu Juntao saw that he had not seen the Kong family and horses rushing out of the gunsmoke, so Liu Juntao ordered to stop shooting.

"Stop!"

As Bai Yuxing's young men stopped shooting, the entire battlefield gradually fell silent, the smoke gradually dispersed, and looking at the situation dozens of steps away, a burst of cheers roared.

"Hundreds of people......

At this time, Bai Yuxing, who was originally calm, couldn't help laughing and laughed, and saw that on the grass dozens of steps away, the men and horses of the Kong family were lying on the ground, and more than a dozen war horses also fell to the ground and screamed.

Liu Juntao saw the scene on the battlefield by the moonlight, and his heart can be described as very happy, he has fought several battles since he crossed, and this time is the most enjoyable!

"It's called crushing!"

Liu Juntao secretly said in his heart: "This is the battlefield I want!" ”

Suddenly, Liu Juntao noticed that just when most of the Confucian horses had begun to disperse and fled towards Beining Town, there were seven or eight hundred horse teams riding their horses to rush forward, followed by hundreds of extremely vicious bandits who rushed towards Bai Yuxing's department.

Seeing this, Liu Juntao said in a deep voice: "Order Bai Yuxing to fire immediately!" At the same time, he ordered Tao Jixin to immediately rush to the left flank of the battlefield to shoot in formation and cover Bai Yuxing's department! ”

In Liu Juntao's heart, the firecrackers at this time are most afraid of two types of enemies: cavalry and archers! The effective range of the archer is similar to that of the firecracker, the rate of fire is fast, and although the sustained power is poor, it can suppress the firearm formation with rapid fire, which can cover the close approach of the infantry.

And the elite cavalry can brave the fire and rush directly up!

At this time, Liu Juntao's heart was also pinched, and he ordered the two general men and horses to stand by, as long as the battle in front of him was not smooth, he immediately led the reserve men and horses to rush forward.
