Chapter 176: Suide Snatching Battle (Medium) One Shift
For Guo Tianxing, of course, Suide can't be lost, the few women that Guo Tianxing snatched are all there, as well as his family property. Now Suide and Yichuan are the base and base camp of these thieves, and his family, the old and the weak, as well as the stolen savings, are all there.
Now these thieves can be regarded as drilling out of the mountains and forests, living in the towns and cities with dignity, and no longer living in caves like wolves, insects and beasts, but now the officials and soldiers want to fight Suide, which is equivalent to copying their nests, so how can you not be in a hurry to report the stars? He personally supervised 20,000 horses and horses to come to Suide like a fire......
Suide small county is not a strong city, not to talk about the city high pond deep, the city wall peels off, the highest place is only two zhang, there is no danger to defend at all, it is unrealistic to say that there is no moat outside the city, but the moat is very narrow, not to mention, and there is only a little half of the ditch not how to flow stinky water, in disrepair, and garbage piling, it is completely a stinky ditch of the furnishing type, some places are only a few meters wide, and it can't stop thousands of horses and horses.
The key is that because of the attention of these thieves who pulled the main force out to fight Yan'an Mansion, Suide's defense was empty, leaving only about 1,000 people to defend the city, and the rest were some old and weak girls, who were the thieves' family logistics.
The thieves also have defenses and mobile posts outside the city. But as soon as Zu Keyong's army arrived, they launched a charge, and in the face of the sudden arrival of the officers and soldiers, these thieves panicked, and some were shot before they could react, and the rest scattered, and the thieves outside the city were driven into the city like cattle, and those who did not have time to enter the city were beheaded outside the city.
Zu Keyong wielded a big axe, two thousand iron horsemen like a rolling iron stream, only one charge to kill the city, all the soldiers defending the city were forced to the city, and the peripheral thieves obstacles were all swept away, for this divine soldier who fell from the sky, where did the thieves who defended the city dare to fight, only to close the city gate like a closed cat and mouse, and then quickly send someone for help.
"Take Suide, rush!"
Zu Keyong took the lead, and 2,000 men and horses launched a fierce attack on Suide City. Bows and arrows and firearms opened fire together, and the thieves in the city were beaten so that they could not raise their heads, and those who were hit by arrows and guns were uncountable, and they cut off the heads of the city one after another, and splashed blood on the city walls.
Zu Keyong flew through the moat, opened the big axe, clicked a few axes, the wall gate was cut down, and two thousand iron horsemen swarmed in.
The thieves defending the city were even more frightened, and the wolves rushed to the pigs, regardless of the city, their families, and their belongings, and they ran around the streets like rats, and the officers and soldiers chased and killed them for a while, and the city was full of dead and wounded. Most of the 1,000 thieves were killed or wounded, and only a few lucky thieves escaped from another place, and some of them, along with the thieves' female dependents, chose to abandon their weapons and become prisoners.
Unlike other Ming armies, this official army does not kill and surrender, whether it is a thief or a kind and innocent person in the city, there is no one and no time to verify and distinguish now, as long as they abandon their weapons and surrender, lay down their weapons and no longer be enemies of the official army, they can live. This is, of course, due to Lin Yi's military orders.
Therefore, Zu Keyong's men and horses quickly seized Suide, and the casualties of the officers and troops were only about two dozen people.
Zu Keyong was very happy, he didn't expect this battle to be so smooth, the price paid was so small, it turned out to be a tough battle, he didn't expect these thieves to be so vulnerable, Suide Town is simply at your fingertips. As soon as Lord Lin led the team to arrive, he could encircle and suppress the large number of thieves who attacked Yan'an Mansion.
Zu Keyong was happy in his heart, and the arrogance of the general from Guan Ning was naturally revealed, and he pouted and immediately gave the order to clean up the battlefield. Those who carried corpses, picked up knives and guns, watched the thieves and prisoners, and cleaned up with blood stains, ready to welcome Lin Yi's brigade into the city.
At this moment, people in the distance shouted and neighed, and countless people and horses surged forward. As soon as I saw this formation, I knew that it was not the official army team led by Lin Yi, it was the 20,000 thieves who arrived with the stars in the sky, all kinds of flags covering the sky and the sun, and the people and horses were overwhelming, like surging waves, rolling up the ground. Ten thousand horses galloped, and the ground trembled.
Guo Tianxing's 20,000 horses and horses marched to Suide, and there were some stragglers who joined them halfway, saying that Suide had been taken down by the official army, Guo Tianxing was shocked and annoyed, today is either the fish is dead or the net is broken, he is desperate, he must take back Suide, and kill the official army without leaving a piece of armor.
"My lord, the thieves are powerful, hurry up and close the city." One of Zu Keyong's henchmen suggested. What he meant was to defend the city first, wait for Lin Yi's brigade to arrive, and then kill them together.
Zu Keyong glared, "A city with a fart, no matter how many thieves there are, they are also ant soldiers, and they came at the right time, saving Lord Lin from encircling and suppressing them." When the commander of this army kills them and does not return, there is no need to close the city, and the city gate is lined up to meet the enemy. ”
"No." Zu Keyong gave an order, and only led a thousand iron cavalry to line up outside the city, and ordered the city gate to be opened, leaving a thousand iron cavalry to let a thousand generals be responsible, not to let them defend the city, but to let them do what they should do in the city, now the main thing is to take care of the prisoners, clean up, and welcome their chief soldier Lin Yi into the city. Because Lin Yi's brigade was about to arrive, he didn't even take down Suide at that time, and Zu Keyong felt ashamed of Lord Lin's standard camp.
A few hundred meters away from the city gate, in the open space outside the city, Lin Yi's 1,000 standard battalion soldiers stood majestically like a mountain, and the soldiers were in the sun with dazzling swords and guns, and the battle flag was hunting.
If you look at it for people who understand military affairs, Zu Keyong's thousand people are not simply soldiers and horses, but have a battle sequence, and the first two hundred are musketeers, all of whom are armed with firearms and swords hanging from their waists.
Now Lin Yi has a lot of firearms in his team, and in addition to the artillery battalion, the equipment of his guards and standard battalion firearms accounts for about 30%. In the siege just now, the firearms of the firearms had already exerted some of their power, and now they had gathered 200 shots of firearms and ammunition in the victory.
Immediately after that, there were two hundred shieldmen, who held shields in one hand and machetes in the other, and then three hundred archers, who, in addition to bows and arrows, were also in battle at the waist of their waists. That is to say, the three sequences of the seven hundred soldiers in front are all dual-weapon, and as soon as you look at their guys' equipment, you can know that the combat radius suitable for them is relatively large, and they can advance and retreat, both offensive and defensive.
The next three hundred were the last sequence, all spearmen. In addition to the spears that are all five feet long, there are also short knives in their waists, which means that these thousand iron horses are all double weapons, and the spears are sharp, like a forest.
This thousand iron cavalry will be half of the standard battalion, some are from the Guan Ning army, some are from the Tianxiong army, they are regrouped, thrown into the command of Nan Yi, experienced in a hundred battles, and after Lin Yi's intensive training for them, they are all elite soldiers and strong generals who are better than the blue, so compared to the 20,000 thieves, although their lineup of 1,000 people is pitifully small, but all of them are as resolute as iron, full of confidence and tenacity, without the slightest cowardice.
Zu Keyong stepped off the blue-maned horse, with an iron helmet on his head and iron armor, carrying a big axe in his hand, and put it on the horse, he was as majestic as a general.
Zu Keyong can also make a score, after all, he is a legendary general of the Guanning Army, and he immediately crosses the axe, squints at the thieves, and treats the thieves who come from all over the world as if they were nothing.
Seeing such a small number of officers and soldiers lined up outside the city, and the city gate was wide open, arrogant and arrogant, these thousands of eight hundred meters away from the appearance of the appearance stopped, and they did not dare to rush forward, is the official city designing?
"Give me a rush, kill these official dogs, and recapture Suide!"
It doesn't matter so much about the stars and stars, he has always been resourceful, and now he is not calm, even if there is an ambush in the city, what can he do, anyway, there are not many officers and soldiers, no matter how Suide is not lost. Guided by this philosophy, he shouted loudly with the finger of the knife in his hand.
20,000 thieves relied on the strength of the crowd, and in the earth-shattering shouts, they rushed towards Zu Keyong and them like a flood of gates.
"Fire!"
In the face of the surging thieves, Zu Keyong took the defensive first, and when he reached the range of the firecrackles, he gave an order, and the two hundred guns crackled and put the guns, and the white smoke was accompanied by the sound of firecrackers, and the thieves who rushed in front fell down.
Whether it's shooting at a fixed point or on a flying horse, the brothers in the standard camp are rotten in training. In other words, these firearms soldiers are not generally good, and it can be said that there is no shortage of guns at this time.
But these thieves really don't take these smoking guys of the official army in their eyes, and they don't care about the red-clothed cannons, let alone a few broken guns, they have been dealing with the officers and soldiers for a long time, and they know that although this thing is powerful, it can't last, and after it goes off like a cannon, it will become dumb, as long as they can rush over with all their might, the officers and soldiers will not have a second chance to let go of the guns.
But today, these thieves are wrong, the firearms of this officer in front of them are not ordinary firearms soldiers, they are well-trained and not only accurate, but also good at the head, 200 firearms are fired in batches, the firearms are fired in turns, and the charges are loaded in turns, and the operation is carried out in an orderly manner. They were able to release an average of three rounds of guns before the thieves broke through their firepower, and the ground was full of thieves' dead and wounded.
The thieves were a little chaotic, and the first charge retreated.
The stars do not believe in evil and personally supervise the battle, and the thieves like evil waves are rolling in again. This time there was a commotion among the firearms, none of them let go of their guns, it seems that the ammunition was exhausted, there was no ammunition, this thing didn't burn the fire sticks on the battlefield, they should throw the guns and rout.
But this is just the wishful thinking of the thieves, and the firearms soldiers really withdrew, but there was no chaos.
"Shoot the arrows!"
The thieves finally broke through the range of the firebolts, and when they reached the range of the bow and arrows, the archers among the thieves rushed forward and fired arrows at the officers and soldiers, and the arrows rained down.
At this time, after the officers and firearms withdrew, the archers and shield bearers were revealed, and the shield bearers immediately rushed in front of the archers, and erected high shields, which stood side by side to form a shield wall, and the flying arrows hit the window like a rainstorm, and the shields fell to the ground one after another.
After the rain of arrows of the thieves passed, the shield soldiers removed their shields, and the three hundred archers of the official army were already ready, and they shot arrows to return fire. The thieves who rushed in front fell down in a row again, and the thieves' attack was thwarted again, and they retreated again with an uproar.
"Don't retreat, rush me!" Guo Tianxing swung his knife in the back and slashed several fleeing thieves, and a large number of thieves shouted and rushed over for the third time.
The rain of arrows could not stop the scorching thief, and the thief screamed like crazy, stepping on the blood and corpses of his companions, and in a fit of anger, the third charge of the thief really broke through the bow and arrow defense line and entered the ranks of the officers and soldiers......
