Under Li Yan's advice, Li Guo hurriedly led three thousand Liukou to Niutou Village, but due to the forced march, the originally neat team was dragged into a long snake formation when he set off, and he was able to follow Li Guo for the first time to feel that the people in Niutou Village were only the most elite 1,000 thieves from the old battalion.

Li Guo has followed Li Zicheng for many years, and has followed Gao Yingxiang for more than half a year, and he also has a certain military quality.

It is precisely because of the addition of Li Guo that the defense line that is about to collapse is barely maintained, and at this time, Cao Yingmao led the cavalry to rush into Niutou Village, because the distance between the two sides is too close, and there are too many buildings and sundries in the village, the cavalry can not exert mobility, so Cao Yingspear simply let the cavalry dismount and meet the enemy with a brown beisi firecracker.

When the battle resumes to the point where the two sides open their postures, gongs and drums are fighting for each other, it is the quality of the individual soldiers of both sides and their respective weapons and equipment, and these two things can be thrown off by the Jiangning army for several streets.

"Assemble!"

"Everyone began to line up, attack!"

The cavalry of the Jiangning Army not only had to practice the kung fu of cavalry archery, but also had to learn some skills of the infantry, such as the column formation was one of them, although the military formation they discharged was not so neat, and the execution of the officer's orders was not so fast, but it also depended on who to compare, and soon a row of sergeants who had finished the formation began to hold the fire gun firmly and slowly pressed forward.

"Bang...... Bang bang bang ......"

In a series of gunshots, a celebrity Kou was constantly killed, even if he hid in the house, it was useless, and a 10,000-strong enemy was stuffed into it, that is, even the end of playing with the house.

In Niutou Village, many hungry thieves who were shot rolled in pools of blood and howled hoarsely, which was unbearable, and more places were in chaos, even if the leader of the thieves tried his best to suppress it, it would be useless.

The 1,000 men brought by Li Guo in advance lost more than 200 people in the five or six rounds of firing that had just broken off the station, and in this kind of close-range platoon shooting, the hit rate was simply terrifyingly high.

Many young and hungry people kept screaming, and many people were so frightened that their whole bodies trembled, and no one could have imagined that the firearms of the Jiang Ning Army were so sharp, and they fought so fast, and now even the stupidest people understood that there was only one way to die if they continued to fight.

It is worth mentioning that although Li Yan strongly opposed, Li Zicheng, Li Guo and others still insisted on organizing some young women into the youth camp, for which Li Zicheng also said eloquently: "The poor in the world are one family, the poor are not divided into men and women, what men can do and women can do the same, in order to overthrow the decadent Ming Dynasty, women should also do their part." ”

In view of this, in Li Yanxin's young camp for young people, not only many young women were incorporated into the camp, but even many old women who were over forty years old were among them.

However, compared to the original, the status of those young and strong women has also improved a little, at least they don't have to stand on the front line and play with others when they fight, but now that the battle has reached this point, Hao Shaoqi and Li Guo, who have already beaten red-eyed, can't care so much, but anyone who can still move is driven forward by them to play with their lives.

A young woman in ragged clothes with a dirty face holding a bloodstained wooden stick that she had picked up from nowhere was hiding behind a half-collapsed broken wall, looking at the queue in front of her, her heart was so nervous that she almost jumped out.

When they came to the battlefield, they saw the corpses lying on the ground and the wounded who fell to the ground and kept wailing, many women screamed in fright, and several women even turned around and ran away immediately.

However, the thieves who were in charge of pressing the formation were not polite, and after seeing them flee, the blades in their hands were unceremoniously cut down immediately, and the women who fled were hacked to death on the spot, and the rest of them were so frightened that they no longer dared to move.

Just when the woman was trembling with fright, a hand suddenly grabbed her arm, and just as she was about to scream in fright, a familiar voice sounded in her ears, "Shufen, don't be afraid, it's me!" ”

Hearing this sound, the wooden stick in the young woman's hand fell to the ground in response, and the whole person threw herself into the arms of the other party, and it turned out that this person was her husband.

Both of them are from Tongcheng County, Anqing Prefecture, her husband was originally a merchant, selling things in the streets and alleys every day, and she did some sewing and washing work at home, although her life was not very rich, but she was quite passable.

But everything changed after Li Zicheng entered Anqing Mansion a few days ago, and in order to gather enough soldiers, her husband was also recruited into the team.

After Li Zicheng captured Tongcheng County, he not only burned the county seat, but also demolished the city wall, and captured her husband.

In fact, there are many people like her among the rogues, and many men, women, and children are coerced into the rogue team in this way.

Of course, when they first entered the ranks of the rebels, some people came to tell them how brutal the imperial court was, how the emperor was and how mediocre he was, and boasted about how good King Chuang was, and preached that in the ranks of the rebels, they all had clothes and food, and that the rebels were created for the poor people of the world to have a way to live.

even let them sing a ballad compiled by a military advisor named Li Yan every day, what to eat his mother and wear his mother, King Chuang came and did not pay food, and the discipline was happy.

According to the singing method in the ballad, the righteous army of King Chuang is simply a bodhisattva who saves suffering.

But is this really the case, they were originally called the Hungry Camp here, but now it has been renamed the Young Camp Camp, not only do they have to work hard every day, not to mention hunger and cold, but they also have to participate in the war.

How can there be any reason in this world for unarmed and ragged people to rush to the front, and those young and strong thieves with weapons and armor on their bodies follow behind them to supervise the battle, killing people at every turn?

These days, she can see that these people are nominally righteous soldiers, but in fact they are a group of unscrupulous thieves as advertised by the imperial court, who began to burn and plunder after capturing a city, and then they were chased by the imperial army like a dog and fled to the west, as if these people should be caught and cut with a thousand knives.

Thinking of this, she hated these thieves in her heart.

At this time, her husband's voice rang in her ears.

"Shufen, when the officers and soldiers of the imperial court come over, you immediately hide behind the pile of ruins on the right, and those thieves behind you will not pay attention to you. When the imperial army comes, you will surrender immediately. ”

"Husband, what about you?"

"I ...... I can't move, as soon as I move, the people behind me will notice us, and we'll meet again after this battle. ”
