Chapter 215: The Great War
Bang bang bang.
About one hundred and fifty paces, the firearms battalion was fired.
"Rattan players stand in front of the formation! Rush over! The Rogue Leader yelled.
The rattan players quickly crowded to the front, but they found that the rattan cards could not protect the firearms of the officers and soldiers, and those who were hit by lead bullets fell one by one. But fortunately, the distance is far enough, at a distance of 100 paces, the accuracy of firearms is very poor, even if the platoon shoots, there are still not many shots.
"Bows and arrows, where the fuck are bows and arrows? Shoot for Lao Tzu! The Bandit Commander shouted, he was in a hurry, and now they were being beaten.
"General, at such a distance, our bows and arrows can't reach it!" A pro-soldier said urgently.
"What, she's all fucking rubbish!" The thief was anxious and angry, and said, "Quick, let the forward men and horses accelerate the charge, and the archers shoot in the back." ”
Luo Rucai's front battalion was all some infantry, and the speed of running was not fast, the closer they got to the Ming army's firearms battalion, the greater their casualties, and their own soldiers fell dozens or hundreds of people from time to time, and the other party's firearms were not the firearms they knew, and the shooting speed of this firearm was very fast, not much slower than bows and arrows.
"Damn, it's not a way to be beaten like this, the men and horses of the forward battalion, rush over for me, and kill them all together!" The Thief Commander commanded.
Luo Rucai's forward army began to move, leaving some of the troops guarding the cavalry on both wings, and the main force began to attack the firearms battalion.
The outcasts began to run desperately towards the firearms camp, shouting loudly, and when they reached the end of fifty paces, the scene of the shock of the thief vanguard appeared, and their men began to appear in rows of casualties, hundreds of people fell at once, and this kind of casualties completely shocked these people, even with bows and arrows, such a scene could not have happened.
But it's fifty steps!
"Rush! As long as we stick to the officers and soldiers, their firearms will be useless! The Rogue's leader yelled, driving the men in front of him on.
In just a hundred steps, there were thousands of casualties in their forward battalion, but even with such large casualties, they still couldn't listen, and the thief commander of the forward battalion knew that this forward battalion was originally used to attract and consume firepower with the lives of the rebel soldiers. And there are only fifty steps left, even if there are thousands of casualties, it is worth it, as long as they stick to it, the main force behind will follow, and then they can eat this group of Ming troops.
Even if there are rows of people falling, but there are still black oppressive crowds running towards the firearms battalion, these peasant armies not only did not collapse in morale at this time, but their morale was high, everyone had a consensus, as long as they could rush into the battle formation of the Ming army, the victory would be theirs, and such a victory was only a few dozen steps away.
"Order all the swarms to light the fire!" Yang Jiuyi said coldly.
When it was almost twenty paces, a swarm of bees lit a fire, and thousands of arrows with flames at the tail rushed out, the picture was extremely spectacular, each rocket, drew a black smoke track, the front row of the firearms battalion was instantly shrouded in smoke, and the visibility did not exceed ten steps!
Looking at the straight lines flying out of the tongues of fire, thousands of columns of smoke, like thousands of horses galloping, scrambling, and their targets are those rags and thieves, those with hideous faces, but also people with vicissitudes of life, at the handover of the two armies, they have been completely covered by the black smoke, and the people in the distance do not know the situation under the black smoke.
Chen Daquan closed his mouth in surprise, stared blankly at the black smoke in the sky, and said to himself: "In this life, people who can see this kind of scene are definitely not in vain!" ”
"yes, this smoke is much worse than the smoke of my dry smoke!" Song Xiance said stupidly, every time he saw such a scene, he liked it very much, it was a kind of fireworks, but it was better than fireworks.
"This is the art of war!" Qin Yiming said happily.
"It's very beautiful, but it's too expensive, and I don't know how much silver it will cost in this round!" The little monkey said distressedly.
Qin Yiming has such a sharp weapon in the army, which has a huge boost to the morale of the entire phalanx soldiers, everyone can see this scene, they have such firearms, and they will lose to these bandits?
The black smoke dispersed, and the ground was full of large patches, some were dead, some were still struggling, some were pierced by arrows, and some were lying on the ground screaming in pain.
The thief vanguard had already collapsed, and at that moment, the momentum of ten thousand arrows was enough to scare the liver and gall of those thieves who were originally professional farmers!
"General, this Ming army is too powerful, our people can't get close!" Luo Rucai's pro-soldier said.
Luo Rucai was also very anxious, it was the first time he had seen such a powerful firearm, he estimated that he had lost three or four thousand people, and in just half an hour, he had lost several thousand!
"Re-trimming, half an hour later, rushing once, where did this Qin Yiming get such good equipment? We've seen this firearm, and we didn't expect there to be such a powerful firearm, but I think they're almost running out! ”
Sun Kewang had seen these firearms, and he saw the large casualties of Luo Rucai's forward battalion, and felt that it was not a good way to use human lives to consume them like this, so he came over to discuss it with Luo Rucai.
"General Luo, the Ming army's firearms also have their weaknesses, they are lined up, I think we can try to attack their wings!"
Luo Rucai also saw that attacking the flanks is a good way, since the firearms are lined up, then the flanks are their weakness, but the problem is that the flanks are protected by cavalry, so how can they attack?
"The flanks are not so easy, the left flank of this Ming army is protected by cavalry, I think it is better to attack the right flank of the enemy, those right flanks seem to be some shield soldiers!"
"General, the cavalry on the left flank is handed over to me, and the shield soldiers on the right flank are handed over to the general's old battalion, as long as we have one battalion, it means that this big battle has been won."
"Good!"
Half an hour later, the thieves' war drums beat again. Luo Rucai attacked in three ways this time, the middle is still the forward battalion, the left wing Sun Kewang with 2,000 cavalry, the right wing is the direction of Luo Rucai's key attack, he sent all his old battalions up, the right wing of the Ming army is only more than 1,000 shield soldiers, he believes that his old battalion can defeat this person, and then chisel through Qin Yiming's entire battle formation and capture Qin Yiming alive!
On the side of the Ming army, Qin Yiming took the firearms battalion as the front army, the firepower of the firearms battalion was fierce, he felt that there was no big problem, the left flank was Ai Wannian and the two thousand cavalry as fierce as a tiger, the right flank was a thousand shield soldiers of Da Niu, and the middle army was a spear battalion.
"This Cao Cao has learned smartly, and now he will attack in three ways, so that he can give full play to their military advantage!" Song Xiance, the smoker, had a worried look on his face.
Even people like Chen Daquan who don't understand military affairs can see that this time it is dangerous, and a large number of thieves have come to the right side of the thief, but on their side, there are only more than 1,000 people on the Da Niu side, this is a block of ten, how can they resist?
"Mr. Qin, is it too big this time? Do you want to let Commander Li's assistant battalion cross the river and be our reinforcements? ”
"The co-slave battalion is unreliable, before we don't have a big victory this time, I don't dare to use these people, if we lose this time, the people of the co-subordinate battalion will definitely rebel!"
"But our right flank is very dangerous, there are so many thieves!" Chen Daquan said worriedly.
Qin Yiming looked at the tall back of the right wing in the distance and said, "Don't worry, the big bull can fight!" And we still have thousands of pikemen, Chen Jianjun don't worry! ”
Fierce as a tiger and Ai Wannian on the left flank, watching Sun Kewang's cavalry swaying on the left flank of the big array, fierce as a tiger said: "Commander Ai, this group of thieves, I'll clean it up, you stay to guard the left flank, how about it?" ”
"Fierce commander, I'll go!"
"You are the descendant of Lord Qin, and there will be many opportunities for meritorious promotion in the future, let it be given to me this time!" Fierce as a tiger laughed.
"Okay, Commander Fierce be careful, I'll be behind you!"
"Commander Ai's kindness, Meng has written it down, brothers, kill me with me." Fierce as a tiger, he slammed his horse's back and rushed towards Sun Kewang in the lead.
On the right side of the thieves, the old battalion of more than 10,000 people is also slowly approaching, and the big bull also pushed his shield forward fifty steps, ready for battle!
The first to exchange fire was the firearms battalion of the Ming army and the forward battalion of the thieves, the people of the forward battalion found that the rattan could not protect themselves, some of them pushed the grain cart, and the people hid behind the grain cart to move forward, but even so, the casualties were still very large, but the thieves had cover to hide, and they were still advancing steadily.
When another round of swarms was fired, the entire firearms battalion was covered in black smoke, and the firearms in the front row could not see the enemy, but it did not affect their platoon gun shooting, they continued to fire round after round.
When the smoke began to slowly weaken and the vision slowly recovered, some people began to see that the wooden grain carts were still moving, and there were many thieves hiding behind the grain carts.
"The thief is approaching, prepare the **bag, prepare the **bag!" A standard-bearer shouted.
The auxiliaries behind the firearms battalion were busy, and they distributed the **bags that had been prepared a long time ago, those wooden barrels**, and a large number of swarms of bees, as well as these **bags, they were all responsible for carrying the front line.
"Throw the ** bag!"
A bag wrapped in cotton cloth, after ignition, was thrown out by the bag thrower, **bag contains fire oil and black**, this **bag is very dangerous, if it is not operated properly, it is very likely to explode in advance and ignite yourself.
Hundreds of ** bags were thrown into the black smoke, and there was an explosion in the black smoke, countless fires dispersed, and the black smoke suddenly screamed again and again. Many of the grain trucks were also burned, and they showed no signs of moving on.
When his vision recovered, Yang Jiuyi clearly saw that most of the grain trucks were burned, and the attack of the thief forward battalion was repulsed, leaving only a large number of corpses.
Yang Jiuyi glanced at the entire battlefield, what he was worried about now was his right flank, there was a large group of thieves over there who were approaching Da Niu's shield battalion!
"Da Niu, it's up to you!" Yang Jiuyi muttered.
