Chapter 503: Officers and Soldiers Kill Thieves

No one in Houjiazhuang wanted to surrender, the two sides were red-eyed and thousands of casualties, everyone knew that surrendering at this time could not be left behind, they could only carry it to death, and they really couldn't wait for reinforcements only to burn jade.

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the village, Zhang Fengyi hurriedly stood on a high place and looked at the north, only to see smoke and dust billowing and red flags fluttering, and a group of people and horses rampage.

Too familiar, looking at the Ming Dynasty, there will be no cavalry so richly dressed, and no cavalry will have so many Arab war horses.

Suddenly, Zhang Fengyi burst into tears, she brandished an ash pole spear and shouted: "Sichuan children, folks in Houjiazhuang, the 'Red Flag Army' is here, we are saved!" ”

Finally waiting for reinforcements, the white pole soldiers and the villagers of Houjiazhuang who survived hundreds of catastrophes cried bitterly, and the patriarch was also in tears.

He asked in a trembling voice: "General Zhang, is the 'Red Banner Army' you are talking about, the heroic army of General Pingliao who beat the Tartars and Jiannu to the ground?" ”

Zhang Fengyi said loudly: "It is the 'Red Flag Army' that has made the Tartars and Jiannu frightened, the Sichuan children, there are those who can move, and one of them is counted as following the official out of the city to kill the enemy!" ”

Suddenly, many white-pole soldiers struggled to get up and wiped away their tears, shouting in unison: "Kill the thief!" Kill the thief! Avenge the brothers who died in the war and kill ......"

Hou Benzhai, the third son of the patriarch's family, has a martial arts, and he hates the thieves outside the city, because of the three days of fierce fighting, his second brother and fifth brother were killed, and of course he had to go out of the city to kill the enemy and retaliate.

He said hoarsely: "The thieves have killed thousands of my people, this revenge is not shared, and the villagers who can still run follow me to kill the thieves!" ”

Zhang Yang always had 336 cavalrymen under six general banners, plus 23 people, including the town officials, 100 generals, deputy generals, and cultural instructors at the level of more than 100 households, including Zhang Yang's own total of 360 people.

Half of the cavalry of the six general banners are cold-weapon cavalry with helmets and armor, and half are hot-weapon cavalry musketeers, only helmets without armor, and they wear mandarin duck battle jackets and spring clothes.

The tactics of the "Red Banner Army" fighting with the Tartars and Jiannu were generally cavalry musketeers shooting, and cold-weapon cavalry rushing to kill.

This is because it is difficult to train the cold-weapon cavalry with cavalry combat skills, and it is completely unable to keep up with the needs of the development of the "Red Banner Army."

It is relatively easy to use self-generated guns and short guns to kill enemies in the training of young adults with good riding skills, and under normal circumstances, they can go to the battlefield after six months of hard training.

Nowadays, a Red Banner Army cavalry is a general banner cold weapon cavalry with a hot weapon knight, and the two general flags are often practiced together, and there is no problem at all with the cooperation.

Cavalry with hot weapons did not need to dismount and shoot for a long time, they could slow down and fire on their own within 300 paces of the enemy's cavalry group, and the lead bullets fired would hit both the enemy cavalry and their horses.

During the cavalry duel, the horses were killed or wounded, causing the knights to fall off their horses, and very few were able to save their lives.

When the hot weapon cavalry was empty, the cold weapon cavalry accelerated forward, and the enemy cavalry at this time was without exception beaten into an array by the bullet rain attack, and their own array was like a wall and pushed past with obvious advantages, and they were often able to charge the enemy cavalry to pieces.

Moreover, the distribution of self-generated short guns to cavalry non-commissioned officers has become popular, accounting for more than 20 percent of all cavalry.

They can draw out the two short guns they were issued at close range and shoot continuously, at least they can effectively shoot more than 20 lead bullets, and the lethal effect cannot be underestimated.

But today's style of play is completely different, the self-generated guns of the hot weapon light cavalry are still on their backs and are not used at all, at this time they wield their sabers one by one and use the speed of their horses to pull the fleeing thieves from behind.

The reason is very simple, the rogues are too weak, and they will fall down with a stroke of the saber, and they will waste time dismounting and reloading if they can't empty the self-generated guns.

Moreover, the hot weapon cavalry with a loaded self-generated gun on his back has added too much security in his heart, and he really finds that there is a difficult opponent, and he can shoot the enemy on the spot at close range.

There is no need to worry about the phenomenon of dumb fire, because the cavalry of the "Red Banner Army" pays attention to cooperation, and they all fight in formations and play group fights.

A self-generated gun can mute fire, it is impossible for eleven of a small flag man to mute fire together, and they still have two adults who have been issued short guns, so they can quickly pull out the guns and start firing at that time.

Although Zhang Yang's strength is overwhelming, he loves to learn and is not superstitious about personal bravery, and now he is able to skillfully shoot his own short gun, and is guaranteed to be able to shoot the head within forty steps.

Among the cavalry musketeers, there were also Minnie gunners, accounting for one-tenth of the proportion, and today they could not play to their advantage, because there was really no time or need to snipe the rogue, so they rushed directly and waved the saber and everything was fine, and it was efficient and happy.

Zhang Yang's wielding mace was already stained with blood and brains at this time, and he shouted while rushing to kill: "We are the 'Red Banner Army' that has beaten Jiannu and surrendered to avoid death, and there is a reward for taking the initiative to report the whereabouts of the thief!" ”

His subordinates were also shouting: "The officers and soldiers kill thieves, and if they want to die, throw away their weapons and kneel, the 'Red Flag Army' is a division of benevolence and righteousness, and will not kill innocents indiscriminately!" ”

At this time, a young man in a tattered robe pointed to the southwest and said loudly: "General, Wang Ziyong, who is known as Zijin Liang, has just thrown away the banner and fled to that side, and the general has brought the students, and the students know the thief." ”

Zhang Yang didn't get off the horse, and directly pulled the talking scholar onto the spare horse, and said: "Hold the horse's neck tightly, strive to keep up, and then beat the horse like flying to the west to chase after it." ”

What is Zijin Liang? What does it look like? No one in the "Red Banner Army" knew that the young man must have seen that guy when he said this, so Zhang Yang took him to keep it to identify the prisoners and corpses.

The "Red Banner Army" is famous, and a small number of homeless people who have just become outcasts here have actually heard of it.

In order to clear their name of being a thief, many people began to point out the direction in which the leader of the thief soldiers fled for the army, and with the courage of the "Red Banner Army", the oppressed displaced people broke out.

Many people wielded sticks, hoes, nail rakes and other various farm tools directly to mix in their midst, and the thieves who once wielded knives and forced them to be cannon fodder were beaten to a bloody pulp.

The cavalry of the 1,000 or hundreds of "Red Banner Army" were all double-seated, and the quantity and quality of the horses were much better than those of most rogue horse thieves.

Arima was originally the pride of horse thieves, a symbol of their status in the ranks of the rogues, and a prop to save their lives, but today it has become the evidence of the death penalty.

Relatively speaking, the quality of the war horses of the big leaders of the rogues is much better, after all, they have broken a few county towns, destroyed too many gentry manors, and it is not uncommon to capture good horses or even Arab war horses.
