Chapter 169: Fight and Retreat
"It's broken! Our brothers of the Xingtian Army were blocked by the official army! This sucks! After seeing it, the chief of Liujiabao suddenly shouted.
Some of the township soldiers who followed him showed panicked expressions and asked him one after another, "What should I do, the chief of the security guard?" Could it be that these brothers of our Heavenly Army are just going to fold here? ”
The chief also knew that he had lost his temper just now, so he immediately said: "Give me all the side and copy the guy!" Damn, all of us in the Xingtian Army are heroes, where was it so easy to be destroyed? Although there are many officers and soldiers, if they want to eat these brothers outside, I am afraid that they will at least have to break a few of their big teeth! Our brothers in the Xingtian Army are all iron-clad men! Get down there and get ready! If the brothers outside can't hold on, let's risk our lives, and we must rescue them!
Don't forget, the land you big guys are planting now, but it is all exchanged for the big guy by our Xingtian Army, if you are afraid, just say it as soon as possible, Lao Tzu does not force you, there is a kind of Lao Tzu to stand up, wait a while to follow Lao Tzu to kill out, and connect these brothers outside to Zhuangzi, as long as these brothers outside enter Zhuangzi, even if there are more officials and soldiers, there is no way to take us! ”
Looking at the officials and soldiers who were starting to approach under the black pressure outside, many of the township soldiers swallowed and spat hard, after all, these township soldiers had just been formed, the training was still very inadequate, and the equipment was also very poor.
But people have their own temperaments, and there are really some township soldiers who are not afraid of death, after hearing the words of the chief of security, when even a thin man stood up with his chest patted on his chest, and shouted: "Chief Zhang, I am willing to go out with you to fight!" I haven't eaten a few full meals since I was a child, and if it weren't for the good people of your Heavenly Army, we don't know how much more we would have to suffer! When people can't forget their roots, now that your brothers of the Xingtian Army are in trouble, we can't sit idly by! Watch them die before our eyes! What's more! If your Xingtian Army is suppressed by the official army, we will not be able to escape to death, it is a big deal to fight with them, if we can save the heroes of the Xingtian Army outside into our Liujiabao, I think the official army will have no way to take us! If the chief goes out, I'll be one! ”
This thin man's words immediately resonated with some village soldiers, what he said was very weighty, think about it carefully, if the Xingtian Army is destroyed, the officials and soldiers will never let go of them, these Zhuangbao and the villagers here, instead of watching the official army destroy the soldiers of the Xingtian Army outside, it is better to fight and go out to rescue the team of the Xingtian Army into Zhuangzi, when the time comes, there will be soldiers of the Xingtian Army here to help guard the Zhuangzi, and they will be more secure.
So after a while, thirty or forty township soldiers stood up, although the number was not much, but one by one they all reported their will to die, but it should not be underestimated, so this Zhang Baochang took these people down the village wall, stood at the door of Zhuangzi, and the rest of the township soldiers, were a little ashamed to stand on the village wall and look at this group of people, have to say goodbye to them, wish them good luck.
Zhang Baochang waved his one arm and shouted to the remaining villagers on the village wall: "It's okay to stay, we can't let the officials and soldiers take advantage of our loopholes, wait a minute, if Lao Tzu goes out and doesn't come back, you will block the village gate for Lao Tzu, even if it is to fight to the last person, you must block these bandits for Lao Tzu, remember, there are still your wives and children in this village, if you can't stop them, your wives and children will suffer!"
All right! Don't fucking like a mourner, Lao Tzu won't necessarily die outside when they go out! The brethren have copied the guys! According to the method taught to you by Lao Tzu, form a spear formation, and stab Lao Tzu to death when you see a bandit, don't mess up, we'll be all over if you mess up! ”
The township soldiers above and below the village wall all responded loudly, and the township soldiers who followed this Zhang Baochang also roared one after another, clenched the spear in their hands, Zhang Baochang At this time, Zhang Baochang pulled out a waist knife with one hand and shouted: "Open the door!" ”
At this time, I heard a bean-like bird bang and an overwhelming shout of killing sounded outside the village, Zhang Baochang stood in the doorway of the village, couldn't see the outside, and couldn't help scolding: "Damn, it's going to be fought outside!" Open the door! ”
The officers and soldiers of this group of cavalry urged the horses that sat down one by one, and rushed towards the small phalanx of the Xingtian Army with a strange scream, and the distance between the two sides was quickly narrowed under their high-speed charge, and gradually they could see each other's faces clearly.
Zhao Erdonkey stood in the phalanx, and it was only at this time that he roared: "Put down the spear!" The firecracker fires Lao Tzu! ”
The pikemen in the first row squatted down directly, grabbed the barrel of the spear with both hands, pressed back, and pestled the other end of the spear on the ground, tightly supported on the ground, and formed a row of guns on the ground, pointing straight to the air more than half a person high in front, while the second row of spearmen put the spears flat and pointed to the position of more than one person high, forming a second gun forest.
After hearing the order, the first row of musketeers immediately put down the bird guns they were carrying on their shoulders, pointed at the cavalry of the officers and soldiers who were killing them, and together pulled down the dragon head stuck in the arquebus.
I saw that the two wings of the Xingtian Army spewed out a slip of gunpowder smoke at the same time, and immediately rushed to the front of the cavalry on their backs and overturned in front of the two armies, and the few cavalry who followed closely behind could not dodge, and their riding skills were limited, and they were immediately tripped by these fallen war horses, rolled to the ground, and some cavalry behind were startled, and quickly turned their horses' heads and scattered to both sides.
Seeing that the phalanx of the Xingtian Army formed a dense spear array, the cavalry of the official army was not stupid, and naturally they would not sacrifice their lives to impact the pike array of the Xingtian Army, so they had to turn their horses one after another and spread out towards the two wings, even if they were not afraid of death, but the war horses they sat on would not stupidly hit the spears, and immediately the impact of this group of cavalry disintegrated and dispersed to both sides of the small phalanx of the Xingtian Army. Trying to close their formation.
However, their nightmare had just begun, and although they avoided the front of the Xingtian military array, they did not expect that the flanks of the Xingtian military array were also dead, and in either direction, the Xingtian army's phalanx had two horns of firecrackers who could shoot at them.
As soon as the four-cornered musketeers saw the officers and cavalry scattering around them, they raised their guns one after another and shot at the officers and men who were galloping past them.
Although the accuracy of such shooting could not be very high, the target of the horses was much larger than that of the people, and immediately more than a hundred musketeers opened fire, knocking over twenty or thirty of the officers and cavalry at once, and the remaining cavalry were so shocked that they quickly turned their horses and fled in a farther direction, never daring to approach this small phalanx of the Xingtian Army again.
After Zhao Erdonkey looked around for a while, he laughed and shouted loudly: "Good brothers of the firecracker, you fight beautifully!" Ha ha! Just fight like this, if these bandits dare to come, they will beat Lao Tzu like this and kill them all!
Don't fucking be stunned! Hurry forward and stay in formation! Hurry up and enter the village! Are you all stupid? Come on! Drummer, beat your waist drum to Lao Tzu! ”
At this time, the Xingtian army realized that as soon as the official cavalry rushed like this, they got out of the way of the blocked road to Liujiabao, so the drummer immediately beat the marching drum.
So these subordinates immediately withdrew their guns, with the drum beat of the marching drum, the whole marched forward, the phalanx advantage of the Xingtian Army was reflected at this time, and the general formation is different, after the Xingtian Army formed the formation, it did not lose its ability to maneuver, but could maintain the formation, under the command of the marching drum, the whole moved forward.
Of course, this also requires more training on weekdays, and if the average army wants to reach such a level, it is impossible to maintain such a formation without long-term and effective training, otherwise, it will be chaotic when it moves.
Those officers and cavalry regrouped in the distance in shock, they just charged a charge, not only did not disrupt the formation of the Xingtian army, but were beaten by the fierce firepower of the Xingtian army, and lost twenty or thirty brothers at once, which made them really a little unacceptable, originally the cavalry against the infantry, they should have an absolute advantage, but they didn't think that they suffered a big loss, but they didn't even put down an enemy army.
So the Qian general manager they led the team no longer dared to underestimate this gang of thieves, and hurriedly beckoned his subordinates to gather together, and once again wanted to bypass the Xingtian army formation to prevent the Xingtian army from approaching the Liujiabao in front.
And at this time, Ma Liancheng, who was leading his troops over, was also taken aback, originally he thought that after the cavalry he sent intercepted this group of thieves, a charge would be able to disperse this group of thieves, and the rest would be easy to do, he could immediately scatter the soldiers and horses, encircle and suppress these scattered thieves, so as not to let them go, but he didn't think that the ideal was very plump, but the reality was so skinny, his wishful thinking was torn apart on the spot, and the cavalry was not able to disperse this group of thieves at all. But he was beaten by thieves, and his horse was turned over and broken, and many people and horses were lost.
And what surprised him was that after forming a strange phalanx, this group of thieves was able to maintain their formation and continue to move towards Zhuangzi in front, which surprised him even more.
So he hurriedly ordered to speed up and block this group of thieves outside the village, and the remaining more than 2,000 officers and soldiers immediately accelerated their pace and chased after the thief army in front.
