Chapter 552: Ambush (4)

The roaring war horses made the ground tremble, and the dust on the ground was billowing and flying sand and rocks, as if a storm was sweeping the heavens and the earth, but at this time, the eyes above his head were dazzling!

The Northern Han Army on the Central Front was dominated by infantry, and the Shenhuo where Zhao Hu was located was facing the sea of people and guns. They were infantry on horseback, dismounted at a distance of more than 100 paces, and gathered in formations to fight...... The Third Army of the Tiger Ben Army also had a lot of mounted infantry barely serving as cavalry, but the mounts of the mounted infantry were not very suitable for charging combat, and the cavalry and cavalry combat level of the soldiers were not good, and they often dismounted and gathered to fight; Especially the Shenhuo Capital, because they are holding firearms, if they fight on horses, they can really only be used as maces, and they can only dismount and line up when fighting.

Zhao Hu was on the battlefield for the first time, and he was a young man who was looted by the Liao army in Yizhou and destroyed his home and everything. In the small place of Zhao Jiashu, there are very few sons and daughters like him who are tall, strong, square and powerful, but in the forbidden army, many people are as strong as him; These people don't farm, according to Shangfeng's usual words...... The enemy won't let us farm well!

He was a farmer, but now he was clad in leather armor and had a weapon in his hand.

"The Khitans are their father!" The military general shouted, "These people are lackeys and traitors!" ”

When Zhao Hu heard this, a fire was burning in his heart.

Originally, he was very afraid, even if there was hatred buried in his heart, he would still be afraid, this is the instinct of a person who has always done his duty, just like those villagers in Zhao Jiashu, whose relatives were killed, humiliated, and ravaged, but when he heard that the enemy soldiers were coming, he would still flee in fear...... However, Zhao Hu found that his fellow brothers around him were all wearing armor, and then he remembered that now he couldn't say who was afraid of whom!

He tried not to pay attention to the enemy soldiers in front of him and the crazy scenes on the battlefield, and when he lined up, he followed the orders of the generals and began to check the fire cans, and the first ammunition had been loaded in advance.

Only then did Zhao Hu realize that a man standing next to him was shaking his hands! It seems that there are people who are more afraid than themselves. Zhao Hu had just been recruited not long ago, first he was a miscellaneous soldier who worked, and it happened that Shenhuo was short of manpower, and he was young and strong, so he quickly became a soldier.

"Onward!" Dutou shouted as loudly as he could, and the sounds around him were very noisy, and it was difficult to hear them if they were not loud.

Zhao Hu remembered the blood stains in the haystack and the torn woman's clothes he saw in his memory, and the shame and anger in his heart made him no longer afraid, and a suffocated anger permeated his body, holding the wooden handle of the "mace" tightly and walking forward. At this time, the cowhide drum on the side of the queue also "dong dong" slowly sounded.

"Ding Ding Ding ......" Zhao Hu heard the sound of metal crashing around him, which was the sound of arrows thrown from the air hitting his helmet and shoulder armor, and occasionally one or two people happened to be shot at the leather armor and screamed in pain.

"Stop!" The general roared, and the drumming stopped, reminding everyone to stop. The two armies were only a few dozen steps apart, and the infantry army on the opposite side began to turbulently and came head-on, so Zhao Hu and the others stopped. He was unfortunately in the first row, but there were only three rows of Shenhuo, and there were other people behind him.

The shouts and killings dozens of steps away can already be heard clearly! The stubborn and stubborn soldiers of the Northern Han Dynasty slowly rushed over to this side, dozens of steps said that it was not far away, but it was not close, and those enemy soldiers were still walking in a queue, not yet rushing to kill, one retained physical strength and the other maintained ranks.

Under the order of the general, Zhao Hu raised the bronze gun to the position of chest height, and used his elbow to stabilize the wooden handle of the tail. The soldiers around him were nervous, staring straight ahead. The enemy army is overwhelming, probably nearly forty or fifty paces! I could already see the weapons in their hands, and what they were holding was no longer the spears they were holding against the cavalry (too long, and it was not easy to walk with them, and the attacking infantry was not easy to use with long poles), but melee weapons such as cherry spears and swords and shields.

"Don't worry, wait until they get close! Wait for my order! The general yelled.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, I suddenly heard a "bang", and a puff of white smoke rose up! Zhao Hu also hurriedly brought the fire pot closer to the lead, and for a while, the fire guns around the "crackling" sounded, and the smell of gunpowder smoke immediately poured into his nostrils. Zhao Hu's mind went blank.

At this time, they all scolded: "He|mother|! Don't worry, deaf? ”

Only then did Zhao Hu remember his usual training...... Really, I am very familiar with the practice, but I don't know that I always make mistakes on the battlefield, and I am so nervous.

The smoke of gunpowder was instantly blown away by the wind, "Kill, kill, kill!" Kill ......" The person on the opposite side rushed over with weapons, just now there was a round of gunfire, the distance was too far, and the enemy soldiers were wearing armor, as if no one had been killed!

"Change teams!" The general's voice shouted. Because the enemy soldiers are already running!

Zhao Hu hurriedly walked back, changed to the last row, and hurriedly reloaded. At this moment, he was in a hurry, his brain was like a mess, and he messed up two successive steps, and he was loading more slowly than usual training! The man next to him was not the same, he was hurriedly reloading, and at the same time he kept looking up at the enemy soldiers who were rushing towards him, and those enemy soldiers were screaming and killing as if they were crazy!

At this moment, the sound of "bang ......bang" sounded again, and some people fell sporadically in the chaos on the opposite side. But there are more than 30 people in a row in the Shenhuo Capital, and with a salvo shot at such a close distance, there may be less than 10 enemy casualties! The volley of dense infantry did not hit all, some of them had problems firing and did not succeed, and some of them had problems with their height and level, and they either flew into the sky or hit the ground...... The height of the tube is at the elbow, and it is difficult to completely level the angle.

A volley of fire failed to crush the enemy soldiers, and the large group of enemy soldiers had already rushed closer to a dozen paces. Shenhuo Du gave up the third salvo, he drew his saber with a "swish", pointed ahead, and shouted: "Fight for the emperor!" ”

The cyan embroidered tiger weapons of the Tiger Ben Army's subordinates immediately fell forward and lay them flat, and the leather drums were also beaten desperately with a rapid rhythm. "Kill! Kill ......" The army picked up the mace and rushed head-on.

Zhao Hu was in the last row, and he also ran up with a mace. After a while, the infantry did not rush as fast as the cavalry, but they also had the speed of sprinting at the moment of encounter. Directly in front, a Northern Han sergeant stabbed the cherry spear at a Zhou sergeant, and then the speed of the run pierced the breastplate violently, and Zhao Hu heard the scream. "Bang! Ding-bell...... "All kinds of heavy blows and human voices mingled, and the fishy smell soon spread in the dust.

"Yikes!" Zhao Hu spotted a Northern Han saber shield hand, and rushed forward with both hands with a mace. Obviously, the other party is a veteran soldier who has been in battle for a long time, and when he lifted the shield, he blocked the mace's slamming with a "bang", and the action was very skillful, and the Northern Han soldier immediately swung his knife and slashed over!" Clang! Zhao Hu felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, but it was not cut, and he couldn't cut through the shoulder that happened to be protected by plate armor with a casual knife.

Zhao Hu was full of hatred, and the blood on the battle array aroused his emotions even more, he waved his mace with red eyes, and people also pounced. "Bang!" There was another burst of Venus on his head, and he was slashed on the helmet again, but he was still not cut through the helmet, but under the violent blow, Zhao Hu felt that the sky was spinning and dizzy.

With a brute force, he had already held down the man, and threw him to the ground, Zhao Hu was strong, and holding down the man made him unable to get up; With a "bang", the fire pot in Zhao Hu's waist pocket was also shrugged forward, falling to the ground and shattering. The soldier still had a knife in his hand, and he was slashing at Zhao Hu's back, but he was slashing at the back of his breastplate; This posture is not strong, and it is like tickling.

"Long live my emperor!" There was a high-pitched shout from behind, and another group of Zhou infantry rushed up.

But Zhao Hu didn't care about it, he only focused on dealing with the enemy soldiers who were scuffling with him, and even turned a deaf ear to the fighting around him...... His father, who was killed by the Khitans, once taught him: fight, no matter how many people there are, staring at one and fighting to the death!

Zhao Hu stretched out a hand as powerful as an iron tong and pressed the right hand of this guy, the right hand holding the knife, saving him from cutting himself again. The guy stretched out his left hand again, grabbed Zhao Hu's face violently, and grabbed it at his eyes! Fortunately, Zhao Hu reacted quickly, instinctively closed his eyes and raised his head; The face was still scratched with a claw, and it hurt hotly. Then the guy's hand grabbed the corner of Zhao Hu's mouth, and immediately tore it hard!

Zhao Hu was in pain as if he was about to be torn, he gritted his teeth, tightened his cheeks, and hurriedly pinched the soldier's hand with his right hand. At this time, he took advantage of the other party's hand to loosen slightly, opened his mouth and bit a finger.

"Ah......h Zhao Hu was desperately trying at this time, almost biting off the other party's fingers, and his mouth was full of blood. It seems that the bite of the finger is more painful!

Finally let go, Zhao Hu pressed his hand. And he pressed his right hand on the broken earthen pot and the charcoal that was on fire. The screams rang out again.

The guy was also anxious, with red eyes and a wide open mouth to bite Zhao Hu, but Zhao Hu put his head up, so that he couldn't bite. After tossing for a while, he pressed the opponent's two injured hands with one hand, freed his left hand, and punched the soldier in the face! As for the mace, I don't know where it was thrown.

"Bang!" The other party's head was tilted, and Zhao Hu hit the helmet, and his knuckles hurt hotly. The fist swing with his left hand was not very smooth, and he scolded with red eyes, "|you|mother"! Afraid and angry, Zhao Hu reached out and poked the other party's eyes, and picked it with his fingers! The cruel scene suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and blood splashed his face. "Ahh Ah......h

Zhao Hu's face was very close to him, he could see it clearly, even the hair in the other party's nostrils could be seen clearly, he was also like crazy now, tears were pouring out, roaring and crying.

At this moment, suddenly a Zhou soldier rushed in front of him, picked up a knife and stabbed it in the face of the Northern Han soldier on the ground, and the blood blew Zhao Hu's head and face. Then the other party finally stopped moving.

Zhao Hu only felt that his limbs had been emptied at this time, and with blood and tears on his face, he stood up in a daze. He looked back left and right with empty eyes, and more Zhou soldiers rushed over like crazy. There was a scuffle everywhere in all directions, swords and iron spears were waving in the crowd, and heaven and earth were tumbling fiercely like a pot of boiling water!
