Chapter 77: Do You Want to Go With Me Again?
As most of the stormers were killed and wounded, the remaining soldiers turned their horses' heads one after another, and when they retreated to the vicinity of Tianliao, Xu Erxian finally saw the reality of the other party, and he was a little puzzled, where did these people come from to fight so far with firearms? Still so accurate?
But these questions just flashed in his mind, when he saw that the other party was only a few dozen people, he didn't think about retreating at all, if more than 2,000 elites were repelled by dozens of Ming troops, Shang Zhixin would spare him after he went back?
As a veteran who followed Shang Kexi to surrender to the Qing Dynasty more than ten years ago, he knew very well what the infantry army was most afraid of cavalry.
So he made a whistle, gathered several generals under him, quickly formed a team, lined up in a dense formation, and prepared to charge in a group, he didn't want to use the tactics of adding oil, he wanted to exchange human lives for human lives, and rushed over to trample these Ming troops into flesh at the risk of death.
Fortunately, there were hundreds of paces wide on both sides of the official road, and his cavalry had enough space to charge forward in a standard formation, which was the best tactic of their cavalry, and they were sure to win almost every battle against the Ming army.
The cavalry of the Qing army quickly lined up in more than a dozen rows, with as many as 100 horsemen in each row, and all of them drew their swords and prepared to charge.
Xu Erxian nodded in satisfaction, raised his saber forward, and howled, "Kill!" ”。
Before he could finish speaking, on the hill behind him, which was only about two hundred paces away, suddenly heard the roar of a machine gun.
"Snort! ……”
"Snort! ……”
"Da Da Da! Da-da-da-da! ”
Immediately, the rifles of the three platoons of soldiers lying in ambush on the hillside also opened fire in unison, and the opponent's dense formation was a good time to fire.
Before Xu Erxian could turn around, he was the first to be shot in the head by five or six machine gun bullets, he was the first target of the machine gunner, and suddenly dark red blood mixed with white brains splattered everywhere, and the saber in the hand of the headless corpse was still raised high in the air.
Dozens of soldiers beside him were swept away by machine gun bullets mixed with bright tracer lights at the same time, and they all dismounted like sawn down stakes.
Seeing this, the 60 soldiers in the first row and the second platoon all emerged from behind the mound, and the first salvo killed more than 100 Qing cavalrymen.
Ni Zhisheng was not afraid of cavalry breaking through his position at all, because each of his squad leaders and deputy squad leaders used carbines, and he also had a reconnaissance squad in his hand that also used carbines, and these continuous firepower was enough to ensure that no cavalry could rush within 50 meters of his position.
Seeing that the enemy's firepower was so strong, some Manchus and Mongols hid in stirrups, bent down and continued to charge forward.
"Carbine! Shoot the horse! Aim for the horse to fight! ”
Ni Zhisheng shouted loudly, and the assault rifle in his hand opened fire again and again.
Suddenly, I saw people neighing horses, flesh and blood flying, and waves of bullets were poured on these horses, and these fierce Tartar soldiers fell to the ground with their horses, and they were crushed to death and crushed by the horses without being killed.
With the extended firing of the machine guns, the Qing army in the rear had no formation, and the ownerless war horses were jumping and running around with a scream, which further aggravated the chaos of the Qing army's front team, and they couldn't do it if they wanted to retreat, so they could only desperately beat their horses and continue to rush towards the death line.
Seeing this, the soldiers of the third row rushed down the mountain to stop and kill, and the bullets rained down on the side of the Qing army, and the sound of gunfire mixed with screams and wails resounded in the sky.
In less than a quarter of an hour, there were not many Qing troops left, and the scattered squads were even terrified, because there was no way to escape, they jumped into the pond to find their own death.
Ni Zhisheng ordered the soldiers to jump out of the trenches to clean up the battlefield and replenish the guns of the seriously wounded Qing soldiers one by one, because there was no logistical help, he did not want a single prisoner.
The elated soldiers piled up their captured ordnance on the side of the road and gathered the unharmed horses one after another. More than 1,000 high-quality war horses were captured in this battle, and if it weren't for the condescending machine gun firepower being too ferocious, Ni Zhisheng felt that more could be captured.
Ni Zhisheng ordered people to invite the young and strong people hiding nearby, dig pits and bury the corpses of the Qing soldiers, and then give them some of the captured swords, guns, swords, and halberds, and instructed them to form a village protection team to protect their homes and wait for the recovery of the entire territory of Guangxi.
When some unconcerned young people proposed to join the army to resist the Qing Dynasty, Ni Zhisheng smiled and told them that they could go to Qinzhou or Xunzhou to find the main force to apply for enlistment.
That night, Ni Zhisheng led the third company to stay in Baisha Town, and after repeatedly analyzing the enemy situation and calculating the ammunition consumption, he decided that a part of the soldiers who could not ride horses stayed here to protect the ferry.
……
That night, Lin Xiao finally waited for the scout's intelligence, and learned that Kong Youde's main force had captured Liuzhou, and was raising grain and grass everywhere to prepare to invade Nanning in the south.
"It's good that you haven't gone south yet." Lin Xiao muttered to himself.
Judging from the map, Liuzhou and Nanning are separated by the Daming Mountains, there are more than 200 kilometers of mountain roads, even if there is no obstacle all the way, the Qing army has to march for ten days at a normal speed, as long as he is given ten days and half a month, he can first defeat the Qing army on the east road, and then go all out to deal with Kong Youde.
As soon as it was dark, Lin Xiao ordered the troops to set off after dinner. As a result, before he went out, Lu Hua came to the door with a few cave warehouse guards, and the guards put down the wooden box in their hands, saluted and turned to leave.
"What is this?" Lin Xiao pointed to the wooden box and asked suspiciously.
"You forgot? This is a military radio, this is a SABER-R military handheld radio. Lu Hua said with a smile on his face:
"Don't you want to go on a campaign? Send these hand-held walkie-talkies to your battalion and company commanders, and the communication distance of these things can be more than 30 kilometers...... Also, this is a single soldier carrying a radio, 120W power, automatic frequency hopping, as long as the antenna is modified, there is no problem with shouting thousands of kilometers, but unfortunately only three are found. ”
"Really? That's great...... Oops, why didn't you say it earlier? I said earlier that I would bring one to Li Tao and them, how convenient it is, you can talk every day. Lin Xiao was overjoyed and said with a smile.
"Didn't you see the list that day? I thought you were reluctant to use it, this is the active equipment of the US military, digital frequency hopping communication, waterproof and explosion-proof and not afraid of falling, the chip inside is not spared, and the gold is expensive. Lu Hua pursed his lips and said ostentatically.
"Willing to send it immediately, it's not a pity to hide such a good thing." Lin Xiao touched his chin and said playfully.
"Okay, before the meeting leaves, you ask them to send someone to pick it up, and I'll help you train it. However, "
Lu Hua also said playfully: "The use and maintenance of this knapsack high-power radio station can not be learned in a short time, in case it is broken by someone, it will be miserable, you see?" ”
"What? Do you want to go with you? Lin Xiao reacted and said depressedly.
