Chapter 399: Endless Killing
Yan Qi was already flustered, he was the only one who used this expression to kill others, he liked to use a knife to slowly cut open the skin of people, and liked to kill their children in front of his mother, the more desperate and angry those people's expressions were, the happier he was.
But at this time, he was like a little girl who was stripped naked and thrown in the crowd, and that kind of fear and helplessness made Yan Qi feel ashamed to death.
When the two were still half a foot apart, Yan Qi finally couldn't hold on, he wanted to turn around and escape, but it was too late at this time, Lu Wenluo rushed up, as soon as he got closer, he picked up his fist, and swung Yan Qi, who was far inferior to his height and body shape, and the fist fell like a torrential rain, hitting Yan Qi's face and head, almost in a short period of time, this famous thief was blinded.
Yan Qi wanted to hide, his body was also very flexible, but he was wearing heavy armor, and the good things that could protect him in wartime became a burden at this time, he couldn't dodge, so he could only try to block it with his arm, but he couldn't block the powerful fist of the long-haired giant at all, after many rounds of blows, Yan Qi's head and face were hit many times, as if he had been hit by a giant mallet, Yan Qi's eyes were bulging, half of his teeth fell out, his whole face was crooked, and then he fell to the ground with blood on his face, falling into a semi-fainting state.
In the process of Lu Wenluo beating Yan Qi, it was not that there were no pirates who wanted to come to the rescue, but the cavalry rumbled again at this time, and those scattered pirates had already crossed, even if someone recognized that Yan Qi was being attacked, no one dared to come to the rescue at all. The main formation of the government army has been assembled again, and it has already rushed towards the left flank of the pirates, and the overall situation has been decided, and more people are thinking about running away quickly, and they have no intention of caring about anything else.
The beastly Lu Wenluo gasped for breath and half-squatted beside Yan Qi, who had fainted, looking at the bandit in a daze.
This time, from vacation, to saving Wang Xinyuan, and then to assault in the formation, Lu Wenluo thought about it, not only did he not feel nervous, but on the contrary, he felt extremely excited.
He felt that he was born to do this, whether it was in the army or killing people, this was born to do what he should do. By doing these things, he not only had no burden, no hesitation, but even felt intense happiness.
Of course, Lu Wenluo never thought of killing for fun, some people are born strong men, some people are humanoid beasts, there is pleasure in killing, some people kill strong opponents, and some people take pleasure in killing weak people, including women and children. The former is a natural warrior, while the latter is nothing more than a cowardly act to disguise himself as an incompetent.
Lu Wenluo gasped hard, he tried to find water to drink, but there was chaos all around, and there were pirates running a few steps in front of him, and there was no one else.
There was no water bladder to be seen, but the armor and weapons that had been lost all over the place were all these shiny things.
In order to avoid or attract the attention of the government soldiers, some pirates threw away their gold and silver objects, which were very popular in the countries of the South Seas, and after they were lost to the enemy, the local officers and soldiers did not chase the enemy, but only cared about dividing the gold and silver.
However, after the government army was arrayed, the soldiers marched on gold coins or silver ingots, and no one bowed their heads at all, let alone turned around to look back.
All the seized booty must be handed over, and then the Hou government will issue a reward, and anyone who secretly hides the booty, regardless of official position, or meritorious service, will be dismissed immediately, and if there is any bad behavior such as hurting comrades, shaking and fleeing before the war, etc., will be killed.
Although the military regulations of the Nan'an Provincial Army are strict, they are quite reasonable, and after entering the Provincial Army for a month, everyone will adapt to it and consciously abide by it.
Seeing that there were pirates fleeing all around, Lu Wenluo was still a little worried, if a group of pirates came and fled with this stunned thief leader, then his efforts would be in vain.
He found a scimitar on the ground and stroked it for a while. This knife is quite cold and hard, it can be seen that it is cast of stainless steel, and after multiple forging, it is more brilliant than the horizontal knife made of Fujian iron, and the knife body has a precise and delicate pattern, a horizontal knife made of Fujian iron is worth at least eight dollars, and the long scimitar in front of me is at least worth dozens of dollars, or even hundreds of dollars.
The scimitar is quite precious, this is a well-known thing, Lu Wenluo regretted that he did not find the scabbard, although all the seizures of the government army must be handed over, but the armor and weapons, in principle, are returned to the captured personnel for use, which can be regarded as an unspoken rule to encourage soldiers.
At this time, he didn't have time to think about it, walked to the fainted Yan Qi, put the blade between his neck, pressed it hard, blood overflowed, and then it took some effort to cut off the bones, but it was not big, Lu Wenluo lifted his head and stood up, and the pirates who fled around him were frightened when they saw it, and they all ran farther away.
He carried the bloody head, stuck the unscabbarded scimitar at his belt, and ran back to the queue in high spirits.
……
At this time, Liu Dan disappeared, and the armor soldiers and a large number of pirates he left behind gathered together, and there were only a few thousand people left, and they gathered in one place, turning their spears outward, and the people were crowded together, and the array became extremely thick.
After three rounds of horse running, the war horses were already sweating like pulp, and the left wing group of thieves formed several large circular formations, and the cavalry would be killed and injured if they rushed hard, Zhang Huchen ordered all the soldiers to slowly rearrange the formation, waiting for the opportunity.
The general trend has gone, and the right-wing thieves have also become a mess, and many people have begun to run directly into the sea.
At this time, the main force of the government army also rushed to the left flank, the speed was very fast, the front row of soldiers carried bright horizontal knives and long guns, the armor also shone in the blazing sun, a large number of unarmored soldiers also held swords, and many soldiers took the spears in their hands, ready to throw at any time.
The archers and crossbowmen followed the great formation, they were also tired and their arms were sore, but they still silently held their crossbows and bows, and strode with each other.
At this time, the encouragement of the generals of the government army also rose one after another, and the drummers of the pirates all ran away, leaving only the drummers of the government army still beating the passionate drums, and some military attachés shouted: "This battle has been won, now let's kill all these bastards." ”
The shouting attracted a lot of soldiers to shout and scold one after another, because the government army is all Fujian, everyone does not need official language, the scolding is not Fuzhou dialect or Zhang, the dialect of the Quan, there are also Jianzhou people, in the scolding, the sound of iron armor striking each other, and then the two sides approached to within a hundred steps, the archers and crossbowmen are shooting arrows again, the pirates also shouted, the steps are connected, their timidity seems to have decreased, no longer trembling in the shouting, they are eager to kill the infantry formation in front of them, so as to return to the seashore, or hit the formation and wait for dark, Or you can take the opportunity to jump into the sea and escape.
At this time, the spears of both sides intersected, the long weapons were beating and slapping in mid-air, the determination and will of both sides were very high, and the shouts were also very high-pitched, the thieves wanted to survive, the government army wanted to win, both sides waved the weapons in their hands with all their might, a huge metal forest was formed on both sides, people in armor on both sides gathered in front, the government army was in a neat array, the pirates pushed each other, the array was quite dense, they shouted, screamed, stared, stamped, jumped, and even cried, All human emotions are used in such a scene, because their own lives are at stake, and the army may collapse in an instant, and their own side will become an ambush full of corpses that have been killed, and no one can escape.
This made many people cry in addition to shouting, but at this moment, the more distracting Yue Fang, in fact, has no confidence in their own side, and it is quite obvious that the pirates are just trying to protect themselves, and the victory or defeat is actually very certain.
At the beginning, the battle was quite orderly, both sides were soldiers in the front row engaged in white-knuckle battles, and the soldiers in the back row could not come forward to fight. Due to the large number of people, the spears and spears almost formed a dense forest from which no bird could fly out of the forest formed by such a dense spear tip.
At the time of contact, the pirate's front line was fairly intact, but soon the pirate's line of contact began to bend and deform, some people were cowardly, some people were bold, most of them hoped that someone else was in front, there was no military training, no experienced military attaché command, and the pirate array soon became scattered. This is something that no individual martial artist can solve.
Soon the gap appeared, there were some pirates who were knocked down and no one filled the position, at this time Qin Dongyang personally led the troops to temporarily stand out from the big array, they threw spears first, the gap was expanded, many pirates fell, and there were screams of thieves all around, and then Qin Dongyang held two horizontal knives, and rushed forward against the flying weapons of the pirates, he was wearing heavy armor, not afraid of slashing, and did not pay attention to the weapons that were cut over, within a few steps, he had rushed to the thieves' array, and cut down many people in a row, in order to prevent the main general from being surrounded by enemies, The guards behind Qin Dongyang and the officers and soldiers of the whole sentry poured in like a tide, and slashed left and right with the weapons in their hands, so that a gap was made.
After more government soldiers poured in, the pirates who were still fighting Qin Dongyang on three sides began to rout, they turned their backs in the formation, and kept being stabbed to death by the government soldiers with a long sword, the sharp tip of the army was a foot long, and the blades on both sides formed a huge wound after piercing the human body.
Jin Baoyi is also a fierce general who has made a gap, he holds two short stubs in his hands, and he will be stabbed when he encounters someone, his armor has not affected his flexible skills, this old tooth will be personally selected by Lao Nan Anhou, with a violent temper and vigorous skills, he is a typical martial artist. In the pirate array, he quickly killed all the blood, and under his leadership, first the whole team, and then the whole outpost army also killed, this large, two or three thousand pirates gathered in a circle, almost at the beginning of the contact, was quickly broken, and quickly dispersed.
After the government army penetrated for a while, under the leadership of many military attachés continued to move forward, Lin Cunxin, not in a hurry or in a hurry, always steady the brigade, this is a man in the Donghu people under the iron cavalry still led the troops to hold on, the subordinates are like a long base, with a thick defense, similar to Yue Zhi famous for the leader of the rebel army, he is also from a family of generals, in this battle, he does not have too many bright spots, but there is no lack of regrets.
More gaps opened, the pirates collapsed, and a group of old army officers led the troops to deploy, at this time there was no need to maintain a sharp formation, under the mobilization of the military flag, one by one and the battalion formed a horizontal formation, driving and killing those chaotic pirates on the battlefield.
Some people surrendered with weapons, and they were quickly killed, and at this time there was no time to take care of the prisoners, and there was no way to distinguish manpower.
The army infantry camp is like bulldozing, pushing and crushing the scattered pirates like broken soil, and finally the remaining pirates gather in one place, crying loudly, at this time it is impossible to distinguish between a or no armor, a long soldier or a short soldier, they push each other, but they dare not surrender, tears are full of tears, regret not at the beginning, but they can't find anyone to complain about, Yan Qi and Liu Dan have long been gone, only some of the prestige of the big thief leader and everyone are surrounded together, doing the last trapped beast fight.
The cavalry had slowly departed to charge the hordes of thieves on the right flank, where there was a thunderous sound of horses' hooves, and the same killing was staged again, and the thieves on the right flank were the weakest and the least willed, and they had already knelt down in groups and surrendered.
I have to say that this is the strongest opponent encountered since the establishment of the Nan'an Fu Army, not only a large number of people, but also quite a lot of armored pirates, but also have to say that these pirates are very good, and the courage is extraordinary, until now, only once more than 100 pirates knelt down and begged for mercy, in order to beg for their lives, if they changed the opponent in the battle of the river beach, there would have been more than a thousand people of scoundrels who had collapsed and begged for mercy when they saw the cavalry coming like a wall.
The pirates were not trained too strongly, and they could not even be effectively commanded, more often than not, they took the initiative to invite attacks, and killed and wounded the enemy when they found the opportunity, and even fought like this, many pirates still refused to beg for mercy, and the pirates on the left flank still tried their best to surround them, hoping to kill them to the beach to survive.
The ships on the sea seemed to be approaching, and many pirates swam to the ships, and they drove ships to pick up their fleeing brothers, and the Nan'an army was indeed helpless against these ships.
For a country with a developed maritime trade and a tradition of shipbuilding and going to sea on the southeast coast, it is simply a shame to let others gallop along its own coastline, and the government army looks angrily at the sea while rounding out the scattered and fleeing enemies.
Many of the pirates fled farther to the left and right, and when they tried to survive, they could not escape to the seashore for a while, so they had to make a detour by land.
At this time, Xu Zixian sent someone to give an order, and the people behind the long base all went out, they carried bows and arrows, and a group of 100 people swarmed out from the long base, roaring to the north and south sides, and began to suppress those scattered pirates who ran around.
In the end, a group of two or three thousand thieves was carried on the right flank, the government army was scattered and encircled, the group of thieves was densely defended, many people shouted in horror, and the faces that were originally fierce and vicious were now distorted.
The government army did not pounce, but gathered the archers, crossbowmen, and spearmen together, first throwing spears directly at the armored ones on the periphery of the enemy, and then using the divine arm bow and foot bow to continuously shoot the pirates.
At dusk, the battlefield was full of corpses, the bloody atmosphere was terrifying, and there were many people killed on the seashore, and when the tide hit the shore, it was already red, and seeing such a scene, it was simply not similar to the world, many people stood on the high slopes, and they did not dare to approach when they saw such a scene, for them, such a scene was quite cruel and frightening, even if they were on the winner's side.
On the right side of the battlefield, the poignant slaughter was almost over, the pirates were repulsed several times, the archers were changed many rounds, and then many archers continued to shoot while throwing their arms, too close, it was just a one-sided slaughter.
There were many gods who had drawn their bows too many times and were damaged, and then they simply mobilized some brave people to shoot flat with light arrows dozens of paces away from the encirclement.
The corpses piled up higher and higher, but no one ordered them to stop, so after a while, some of the soldiers stepped forward to pull the corpses out of the outskirts, and then shot the remaining pirates with bows and arrows.
Nan'an Hou Xu Zixian did not stay in the cavalry formation, the cavalry rushed to kill many times in a row, the soldiers were many damaged, and the loss of the war horses was not small, the rest of the people were hungry and thirsty, they stayed on the battlefield in formation, some people went to find water to drink, the battlefield was dusty, the smell was unpleasant, making people feel extremely thirsty, and then some people and firefighters rushed over, they brought a lot of water, the cavalry fed the horses first, and then drank water, the water flowed down the throat, and the throat seemed to be on fire and finally cooled down, At this time, they felt pain all over their bodies, and the injuries on their bodies were unbearable, but at the beginning of the injury, they did not feel the pain, it was the crazy secretion of adrenaline, and now that the war is basically over, the pain has been doubled and magnified.
The medics and medical officers had already rushed directly to the battlefield, and some of the seriously wounded were bleeding profusely, and there could not be a minute's delay.
Debridement, hemostasis, disinfection, generally speaking, trauma is treated in this way, whether you can survive, mainly depends on how the first step is done, if the wounded can survive after stopping bleeding and disinfection, most of them can survive, become an experienced, mortal scar veteran, this is the most valuable wealth in the army.
There are some bone injuries, such as falling off the horse and breaking the arm, breaking the foot, leg and other parts, it is fixed with a splint, in this era, if it is a comminuted fracture, it will definitely become a lame person in the future, and there is no way in orthopedics, but if it is just broken, Chinese medicine in this era of orthopedic osteopathy, can be said to be the first in the world, after the treatment of the orthopedic doctor, after the healing will be no different from ordinary people.
The lightly wounded were waiting, and while they waited, they watched the killing take place miles on the other side.
Begging for mercy, wailing and wailing, the pirates have completely lost their resistance.
The soldiers of the government army turned over the pile of corpses, stepping on the pool of blood, there were too many dead, and the ground had become completely purple and black, and they couldn't see the primary color.
