Chapter 66: Outnumbered

In fact, you can't blame the subordinates of the Heavenly Army for underestimating these bandits, not only them in this era, but even a large group of rebels like Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong are not much stronger than them, except for the thousands of elite soldiers at the core of their command, the rest are also such a rabble, when they fight, they rely on one breath, what formation, what tactics are not talked about at all, often the war is a swarm of swarms are driven forward, and if you win, you will fight with all your might, and if you can't win, you will be discharged for thousands of miles, and a swarm of bees will flee, like today's Itogu, this way of rushing into battle can be said to be the collective style of pulling the pole.

Before the Xingtian Army became an army, Xiao Tianjian attached great importance to the training of soldiers, and every time he went into battle, he paid attention to fighting in formation, and there would never be such a situation, and all those who joined the army had to receive various basic training, which was also the key to the repeated victories of the Xingtian Army over the years.

Liu Yaoben sat on horseback, looking at the crowd of these black and oppressive thieves who pounced, and shook his head, it seemed that these bastards were very fierce, but he knew very well how capable these people were, so after laughing a few times in the formation, he pointed at the gang of men in Yidougu with a knife, and smiled at the generals under his command: "Haha...... Even this rag soldier wants to defeat us! I don't even bother to fight them! The brethren steadied themselves, and the firecrackers opened fire from a hundred paces, and I don't believe they could rush over! Defeat them for me! ”

All the soldiers had already let go of the tension in their hearts at this time, and replied with a smile: "Obey!" ……”

Seeing that these Ichito Valley's men began to rush to a distance of 100 paces in front of the formation, the firecrackers under the command of the officers immediately began to fire on both sides of the formation.

Although the hundred steps are a bit far away for the Xingtian Army's self-generated firearms, and they have basically reached the limit of their targeting, but for dealing with such a group of dense hedgehogs gathered together to charge into battle, it is enough to cause them effective damage, as long as there is no problem with the general direction, it can basically ensure that the bullets will not miss.

I only heard a series of roars in the Xingtian Army array, and then looked at the group of Yidougu's subordinates, and suddenly there were many minions who screamed miserably and lost their weapons in their hands, and hit their heads on the ground, and before they could scream a few more times, they were immediately trampled under the feet of the people who rushed up from behind.

Itoya took one or two hundred of his closest men, and he was not idle behind, but together with knives and guns, he followed closely behind the group, almost forcing the people in front of him to rush forward with the tip of his knife, and the slightest person wanted to stop because of timidity, and he and his cronies were immediately slashed to the ground by him and his cronies, driving them forward and pressing forward.

Yidougu knew very well that the firearms of the Xingtian Army were sharp, so he was reluctant to press his close subordinates to death in front, so he expelled the homeless minions who were attached to him in front, planning to use their lives to fill in front of the Xingtian Army's large array, and then fight hard with this group of Xingtian Army's generals.

Although he also knows that his combat effectiveness is not good, but after all, he occupies an absolute numerical advantage, in his opinion, so many people against four hundred people, the pressure can also crush them, as long as they are crushed, there are not many defenders in this Yongning county, then he can easily take the county, a good windfall, as for the death of hundreds of minions, what is it to him, at the moment Henan is full of displaced people, as long as there is money and food to raise their arms, it will not be a problem to pull up tens of thousands of people at that time.

Seeing the brothers around him being knocked to the ground one by one by the firearms of the Xingtian Army, some minions finally began to be afraid, some people wanted to stop, squeeze towards the back, and avoid such terrible firearms, but the people behind pushed them to the death, and did not let them squeeze into the crowd at all, no one wanted to be the first to die in front, so whoever was in front was not good fate, and they deserved to die.

There were also some leaders in the crowd, and these leaders were also sensible people, shouting in the crowd: "Hurry forward!" Rush to their nearness and they won't be able to do anything! Don't stop, stop and wait to die! Come on! Hurry up! ”

Under the urging and persecution of Itogu and his leaders, although these minions were scared, they couldn't turn around and escape, so they could only push me and continue to be driven towards the Xingtian Army's troops.

When he saw such a situation, Liu Yaoben began to gradually put away the contemptuous expression on his face, he knew very well that these self-generated firearms in his hands were powerful, almost every row of guns hit over, and the other party would fall more than a dozen or twenty people, originally he thought that according to common sense, after a few rows were released, these rabble should collapse on their own, but he didn't expect that today's gang of minions in Yidougu actually showed great patience, even if they suffered continuous casualties, but they still did not collapse, continued to wrap in a ball, and forced towards his side step by step.

Liu Yaoben had already begun to realize what Yidougu wanted to do at this time, so he secretly scolded, "Grandma, Yidougu is going to be filled with the lives of his subordinates, all the way to Lao Tzu's array!" Hum! You're a bastard, I'm afraid you've made a big mistake this time! Let's see how many of you have enough to kill! ’

Don't look at Liu Yaoben and these young officers under him are not very old, but orphans like them who live in troubled times have long been accustomed to such killings, from their experience, they understand a truth, if they want to survive in this troubled world, it is not okay to be afraid of death, so in order to survive, they sometimes have to harden their hearts, although they also know that most of the minions in front of them are coerced, but as long as they have not laid down their weapons, Then he is still his own enemy, and he has no mercy for his enemy.

So Liu Yaoben relentlessly and roared: "Speed up the reload speed and see how long they can last!" ”

After hearing his order, those firecrackers accelerated their reloading, and one row after another hit the group of soldiers on the opposite side of the valley, until the minions on the opposite side cried and shouted for their mothers, and they fell in front of the battle one by one.

As the distance narrowed, the shooting of the Xingtian Army gunners became much more fierce and accurate, and the gunpowder smoke almost enveloped the phalanx of the Xingtian Army, and the air was filled with a strong smell of gunsmoke, which made people can't help but want to cough.

But even so, under the drive of Yidou Valley, these minions still did not disperse, and continued to cry and scream step by step to be squeezed forward, so that gradually some of the minions were a little numb, their faces were like earth, their faces were like dead people, numbly stumbling forward, as for the fate that awaited them next, at this time they were powerless to think, they could only move forward mechanically, forward, until they were hit by a projectile before screaming and falling to the ground, and then they were trampled under the feet of the people behind.

"Run ahead! Hurry up and you'll be there soon! Defeat them, let's go into the city and enjoy! Itoya hissed at the back of the group.

Seeing that there were only twenty or thirty paces left, some of the archers hiding in the crowd finally began to counterattack the Xingtian Army, they raised their bows in their hands and threw them into the air, and a sparse rain of arrows fell on the phalanx of the Xingtian Army, and also began to cause casualties among the Xingtian Army.

Fortunately, there are very few archers under Yidougu, even if they are equipped with some bows, most of them are single bows, like the compound bows used in the Ming army, they have very few, so although they counterattacked, but this counterattack is still very weak, and the people of the Xingtian army stood in the queue without disorder, just lowered their heads to avoid the vital points of their faces, and let these arrows fall on their bodies and hang on their armor, even if they were injured, they were mostly lightly injured.

The subordinates of Yidou Gu, who were beaten in a hurry, saw that the two armies finally approached the distance of twenty paces, and I don't know who made a shout, and the minions who had no way to enter the sky and no door were squeezed out of the last bit of ferocity, and suddenly they roared wildly together, and ran towards the Xingtian military array and rushed over.

Seeing this, the officer in command of the musketeers had no choice but to order a cease-fire and order the soldiers to immediately mount their bayonets and prepare for engagement.

Hearing this, the gunners did not say a word, so they drew their bayonets from the belt at their waists, clicked up to the guns, and then pointed their guns at the oncoming thieves.

The rows of spears were flattened, and in the middle of the formation, the pikemen also let out a loud roar in unison: "Kill ......" suddenly formed a field of guns in front of the formation.

These minions, who have been driven to the point of madness, brandished the rudimentary weapons in their hands, one by one screaming and surging forward, although they have all seen the hedgehog in front of them like a forest, the sharp tip of the spear pointed at their chest, their hearts are full of infinite fear, but they can't stop, they can only be pushed by the people behind, watching their chests get closer and closer to the tips of these deadly guns, in vain let out a frightened cry, desperately waving the guy in his hand, Trying to swing these spears at them.

But this action was nothing but a futile struggle, swinging a spear, and more spears, and the crowd slammed into the spear forest, and suddenly there was a tearing sound of the tip of the spear stabbing into the human body, and then there was an earth-shattering scream......

(How do these chapters look?) If you think it's okay, just bother to reward the red ticket! Hehe! )
