Chapter 1118: Tragic hand-to-hand combat
"Forward ......"
Cao Yingmao raised the saber in his hand and shouted loudly, several drummers next to him were struggling to beat the big drum next to him, and the surrounding sergeants were slowly advancing with the sound of the drums.
The sound of neat footsteps spread far through the village, and Shufen, who was hiding behind a broken wall, was no longer with her companions, who had either been killed or had long since fled without a trace.
Seeing that the officers and soldiers were getting closer and closer to her, and when she was already less than twenty steps, Shufen jumped out with all her might, raised her hands and shouted while crying: "Master Jun...... Don't kill me...... I'm a good citizen of Anqing Mansion......"
"Prepare ......"
Seeing a person suddenly rushing out from behind the collapsed house, Bai Zong, who led the team, was startled, and raised his right hand without thinking, as long as he shouted to shoot, this person would definitely be beaten into a puddle of rotten meat in just a few seconds, but a voice behind him stopped him.
"Wait a minute, don't shoot."
The person who said this was Cao Yingmao, he took two steps forward and looked at the figure running towards them, frowned, and said, "Don't do it, the person in front seems to be a woman, let her come." ”
As she spoke, Shufen had already stumbled over.
When she saw the Ming officers and soldiers pressing over, she only felt that the other party was like a huge monster slowly walking over, but now after walking in, she saw a sergeant wearing iron armor and a red cloak behind his back, holding a fire gun looking at him with cold eyes, and the man who looked like a general at the head was even more cold and solemn in his eyes, and the pressure suddenly increased geometrically, so that she couldn't breathe.
Unable to bear the pressure, she knelt on the ground and cried with a puff: "Ladies and gentlemen, the little woman is from Anqing Mansion, and her husband was unfortunately captured by thieves and invaded into the Liukou army. ”
After saying that, Shufen knelt on the ground with a puff and slammed her head towards the officers and soldiers, and her forehead became red and swollen after a few knocks.
"That's it, get up!"
Before she could continue to knock down, she felt that she was being helped up, and the person who helped her was the general next to her who looked cold-eyed, but his eyes were much softer at this time, and he said in a deep voice: "You get up, if your husband is still alive, you can see each other after the war, and now go to the back, Hugh will affect the movement of the army." ”
With that, with a wave of his hand, someone pulled her aside, and the army moved on.
"Bang ......"
A volley of gunshots rang out, and more than a dozen thieves who suddenly rushed out from the back of a house fell in a pool of blood, and just as the sergeants in the first row stopped to reload their ammunition, more than twenty more thieves rushed out from the side.
"Bang ......"
At this time, the second platoon of sergeants opened fire, and with the smoke rising, the more than twenty thieves also followed in the footsteps of their companions in front, and before they could breathe a sigh of relief, there was a commotion in front, accompanied by a roar, and countless thieves suddenly appeared around them, and suddenly rushed towards them.
At this time, the sergeants of the first and second rows had not yet finished loading, and although the sergeants of the third platoon immediately opened fire, many people still rushed to them because there were too many thieves.
The person at the head is none other than Li Guo.
Looking at Jiang Ningjun, who was close at hand, Li Guo's face turned red with excitement.
These days, he has also painstakingly studied the characteristics of the Jiangning army, although the firearms of the Jiangning army are sharp, but they are not without weaknesses, that is, they are not good at melee combat and hand-to-hand combat, as long as they are close to the opponent, then their weaknesses will be exposed, so Li Guo personally led hundreds of soldiers of the old battalion to ambush around, and sent dozens of baits to lure the Jiangning army to fire, as long as they can rush to the Jiangning army's military formation and start hand-to-hand combat with them, then it is possible to defeat them.
Li Guo's idea was right, and the military formation at the front was caught off guard by him, and he quickly merged with them.
However, things did not allow them to be slaughtered like lambs to the slaughter as he had imagined, but only an order was heard, and the opposing sergeants took out a handful of military stabs from their waists and put them on the firecrackers, and fought with them without fear with bayonets.
I have to mention here that when forming the Jiangning Army, although Yang Feng was committed to forming a modern firearms unit, he still took the stabbing as a basic skill of the army to train, requiring the troops to have the skills and courage to fight the bayonet.
And this kind of hard work also showed its value at this time, although the rogues suddenly rushed to the eye, but the sergeants did not panic. I saw that they quickly loaded their bayonets in less than three seconds under the command of the officer, and then collided with the thieves who rushed up like two torrents.
"Kill ......"
A burly thief rushed over, his eyes were red, he roared, raised his long knife and slashed at a sergeant in front of him, but the sergeant did not dodge, raised his bayonet and stabbed him.
Seeing that the other party actually put on a posture of dying together, the thief's eyes were condensed, and he saw that his body was deviated, and the long knife in his hand was still chopping down, and the bayonet that stabbed him immediately stabbed into the air, and his long knife also slashed firmly into the shoulder of the sergeant.
It's just that the expected scene of flesh and blood flying did not happen, but there was a crisp sound, and after the long knife slashed into the opponent's armor, although the opponent's armor was dented, the opponent was also beaten and squatted and finally fell to the ground.
Before the thief could continue to raise his knife to look at the man, two more bayonets stabbed at him, this time only dodging one, and the other pierced through his armor and through his right rib.
The pain was so severe that he screamed in pain, and before he could retreat, two more bayonets stabbed him in the chest, and even if he was as strong as he was stabbed by three bayonets, he could only stare at the unwilling Death Yellow Spring.
At this time, the other rogues also rushed up and mixed with the sergeants of the Jiangning Army, and for a while, the metal collision of weapons, screams, and wails were intertwined, and a tragic hand-to-hand combat began.
