"Boss, the guy who watched on us killed four and escaped one!"
A well-dressed man with two willow leaf knives at his waist put the darts he had just pulled from the Hongmen soldiers into his personal leather bag, and his brothers came back to report.
"Waste, more than a dozen people chased and killed four or five of them, and even let one go, what's the use of leaving you??"
The Jianghu man, known as the boss, was originally a horse gang in northern Shaanxi, and later offended people who should not be provoked and was hunted down, until he was rescued by Fan Yongdou, the owner of the Fan family in Jinzhong, and now he has joined his family and become the secret black hand of his family.
It is said that it is a horse gang, but in fact it is a horse bandit, although they usually smuggle some salt and tea things needed by the grassland, but when they encounter an opportunity, they do not hesitate to take out their knives and plunder, from the grassland tribe to the small merchants and peddlers are their targets.
Therefore, this charlatan who has been in the caravan for a period of time has not only learned a good skill, but also learned a fierce face.
"Boss! These people are not ordinary people, not only are they skilled, but they are also fierce and abnormal, and several of our brothers have hung up the lottery to clean them up! ”
The brothers below had some sympathy for these skilled Hongmen warriors, and refuted for this.
The body of the captain of Hongmen was dragged and put in front of Ma Youjin, a person from the rivers and lakes, and Ma Youjin looked at the body of the captain of Hongmen repeatedly, but he couldn't see any flaws.
"It's a pity, these Jens don't have any objects that can prove their identity, if there are objects that prove that they belong to Hongmenren, they can be regarded as able to deal with the old club!"
The cold corpse of the captain was manipulated at will, losing its former brilliance, and in a bush a few miles away, the surviving soldier who had managed to escape was bandaging all the wounds on his body in the same way as the emergency first aid course, and at the same time looking back at his long-lost body with sad and angry eyes.
After waiting for the wounds on his body to be preliminarily bandaged, the only remaining Hongmen soldier left this land of right and wrong with his injured body without looking back, chasing the footsteps of the previous evacuees.
"What? There is also a Ming army in the rear? On five ships of 2,000 materials? ”
When the team members who came back to report the intelligence first passed the news to Wu Qixian and others, who were pressing the Ming army transport team, Wu Qixian suddenly became solemn.
The special operations battalion had the confidence to attack the regular army of the Ming army with 700 people with 2,000 people, because of their confidence in their own team members. However, self-confidence does not equal arrogance, and now the Ming army transport team they are facing has given Wu Qixian a small surprise in terms of technical tactics and cooperation, and the battle that originally required a quick victory was still in a stalemate stage for half an hour, which was really a little out of Wu Qixian's estimate.
Now, if the Ming army that suddenly appeared behind them was their reinforcement, not only would Wu Qixian's previous plan be frustrated, but even their special operations battalion would most likely fall into a predicament.
Although the officers and men of the special operations battalion had already broken into the Ming army's chariot formation, it was obvious that this group of Hui soldiers had an extraordinary understanding of the chariot formation, and when they found that the wing was broken, they quickly mobilized the carriages from other places, and separated them in the direction of the breakthrough, and once again stalemate with the officers and men of the special warfare battalion.
The advantages of the officers and men of the special operations battalion lie in their physical strength, skillful combat skills, and advanced and sharp weapons; if they are faced head-on, relying on the advantages of physical fitness and advanced weapons that are generally superior to the other side, the combat effectiveness of the 700-strong contingent will have no problem at all in dealing with the two or three thousand ordinary troops of the Ming Dynasty.
I am afraid that the other side will not fight a frontal breakthrough battle with the special operations battalion, but will take advantage of the geographical advantage to hold a defensive position as it is now, and in peacetime, the special operations battalion can naturally use surprise attacks and infiltration to break through the geographical advantages of many parties, but in this kind of battlefield battle now, where will the officers and men of the special operations battalion have the opportunity to implement their methods?
In the end, the officers and men of the special operations battalion could only rely on their strong physical fitness and agile movements to climb and rush into the carriage to fight against the condescending Ming army, and they could still suppress the opponent with more numbers to fight, which could already reflect the strength of the officers and men of the special operations battalion.
"Battalion commander, the carriage of this transport team is not carrying porcelain, tea and other goods at all, but genuine grain!"
Another news that shocked Wu Qixian came from the mouths of the team members who took the time to clean up the battlefield in the back.
It is also to blame Wu Qixian for not being careful enough, and after the battle, they paid more attention to falling on the opponent, but ignored the problem of the goods on the carriage convoy, otherwise they would have discovered these problems after the war.
"Bastard, we've got it!!"
Wu Qixian's face was pale, and when he reacted, he roared in a deep voice.
Fortunately, at this time, Wu Qixian and they took the initiative in the battlefield Shanghai, and it was up to them to want to fight and leave, but if they didn't make a decision at the right time, if the team in front of them came over, then it would not be so easy for them to get out.
"Clean up the battlefield, take away all the corpses of all the soldiers, find some dry firewood for the things that can't be taken away, and burn them for me along with this convoy!!"
Time is pressing, and it won't be long before the Ming army on the coastline comes over, but at most it will only take an hour, and their special operations battalion only has so little time left to do a good job of sweeping the tail.
The soldiers below were ordered by Wu Qixian, and the grenades, bows, crossbows and other items in their hands were no longer kept, and they no longer had to worry about damaging too many goods in the convoy.
"Hold on, brethren! This is the official road, only a few dozen miles away from the nearest post station, and the official has already sent someone to ask for help!! ”
The greater impact of the soldiers of the special operations battalion made the emblem soldiers who insisted in the car formation gradually unable to support it, and the leader of the Qianzong hurriedly stood under the banner of the central center to cheer everyone up.
Liu Liangzuo's Qianzong is also a battle-hardened figure, not the group of straw bale characters who rely on nepotism to inherit their father's position in Beijing, and in the current situation of endless peasant uprisings in the north, he also got up step by step from the sea of blood in the sword mountain.
But even if he thought he had seen the elite henchmen of the peasant army and the iron cavalry of the Jurchens, the pressure brought by this group of extremely powerful bandits was not as strong as today.
On the other side, Wu Qixian and the others also complained, and the high-intensity use of weapons such as grenades and muskets was also a major test for them in this battle that needed to be kept secret.
In the case that they can't eat this transport team in one go, it actually means that their Hongmen military operations are likely to be exposed to the eyes and ears of the Ming Dynasty government.
