Chapter 63: The Yongning Rebellion (II)

The White Lotus thief is really here.

The crowd of people in the oblique stabbing was surging, and the white lotus anti-thieves of the brigade wore a white scarf on their heads, staring at their blood-red eyes, and shouted and shouted to kill the mountains and shake the mountains, they were well-equipped and had high morale, wielding pieces of machetes, guns, halberds, and swords, which reflected the frightening cold light in the firelight!

※※※

Oops, the traitor is coming sooner than expected!

Now that the people are only halfway back and the troops are scattered, it will definitely be too late to hold on to the wall......

Liang Zheng glanced at the increasingly panicked crowd in the four corners, gritted his teeth fiercely, and turned around: "The intersection in front is a must-go!" Herald! Two horizontal columns, blocking the street entrance! ”

The soldiers moved quickly, and the two horizontal columns were quickly lined up, left and right against the shops on both sides of the street, like a human wall, blocking the eyes of the White Lotus rebels.

It's just that......

Will this hastily cast levee be as thin as paper to hold back the torrent of traitors?

It was the thought that swept through the hearts of everyone in the square in that moment.

"It's just a mantis arm as a car!" This was the thought in Bao Yong's heart that passed by the mouth of the square at that moment.

He led the sect to attack the county government, but when he turned the corner, he saw Liang Zheng's regimental training descending from the sky like a divine soldier, appearing in front of his eyes.

He was taken aback, once the other party abandoned the square and retreated into the county office, and then leaned against the wall to shoot, his own people rushed to the uncovered square and became a live target for the musketeers......

But he immediately discovered that the other party did not rely on the danger at all, and actually put on a horizontal column in a vain attempt to block his 2,000 sect members.

Isn't this looking for death?

Horizontal ......

Arguably the most basic of line tactics, but it is the worst formation against a numerically superior opponent - because it has no depth, and once a column or a few openings are torn open, the whole team will be divided and surrounded, and all that is left is to be slaughtered.

Of course, Liang Zheng knows this, but there is no way, the people have not finished retreating, he can't let go of a single thief, he must try to ensure the safety of the people, otherwise his own troops will be meaningless, and the terrain here is open, he also has to ensure that he is not detoured by the flanks, once the flanks are detoured, the consequences are unimaginable.

"Hear it all!" Liang Zheng made a big gesture with his hand, and shouted loudly, "Behind us are Yongning's fathers and fellow villagers, our wives, children, and parents!" Today, the blood-stained city gates, there is death and no life! ”

After that, he slammed the flag into the ground: "Whoever retreats from this flag, cut it!" I've stepped back from this flag, slash! ”

Then he brushed the ground and pulled out the command knife at his waist: "The drummer starts the drum, and all the players load!" ”

The drums of war were blaring, and the thieves were getting closer and closer, and the crossbowmen began to pour out rows and rows of dense arrows!

About 10% of the people were shot down, but the soldiers of Yongning First Town did not fire a single shot, quietly waiting for the order to calmly meet the death. A soldier with three arrows stuck in his body was bleeding profusely, but he still stood with his face unchanged.

But......

Even so!

Without the slightest hesitation, they resolutely and simply carried out this almost mortal order.

What a generosity! What a magnificence!

The murderous aura was like Mount Tai pressing on the top, shaking the heavens and the earth as if they were all discolored, but it still failed to leave the slightest mark on the calm faces of the soldiers of Yongning First Town.

Because Liang Zheng's order was:

"Steady! Get in shape! Each gun is loaded with two bullets, and you are not allowed to fire until you see the whites of the enemy's eyes! ”

The people around him fell one by one under the bow and crossbow, their eyes were like forests, and their ears were like thunderous roars, but they still did not shake the paper-thin human wall composed of soldiers in Yongning First Town!

Because they haven't seen the whites of each other's eyes yet.

600m, 500m, 400m......

Finally, the command knife in Liang Zheng's hand was raised, and the slender blade shone dazzlingly under the scorching sun:

"Aim!"

The muskets of the brushes pressed down on the muzzles of the black holes.

300m, 200m, 100m......

"Shoot!"

Rows of guns flashed deadly flames, and in an instant, the smoke of gunpowder was like rolling thunder, and the first volley shot down a large area of the White Lotus rebels like mowing grass.

But that's far from the end!

Just when the traitors were dumbfounded......

"Second row, shoot!"

"Smack-"

Another volley, although countless muskets roared, but only one thunderbolt sounded that shook the sky!

In an instant, countless lives were devoured.

The large number of casualties in a short period of time instantly shook the morale of the traitors, and the charging ranks were disordered, and many people began to retreat, huddled together with the friendly troops rushing up from behind, so that even greater confusion arose, and many people ran around like headless flies, crying for their fathers and mothers......

"Rush~! Rush over and chop them up! Bao courageously roared in frustration, and slashed down a few sect members who were scurrying with their heads in their arms, and only then did he slightly control the situation and not completely collapse.

Then, a miraculous scene in the history of the Ming Dynasty appeared:

"I, I can't believe my eyes." Wu Dalie, who was watching the battle from the county government tower, whispered like a dream.

Because in front of him, the traitors followed one after another, and the two thin orange lines in the square, composed of Liang Zheng's town army, became an insurmountable obstacle for the traitors who had an absolute numerical advantage.

They shot with such composure that they remained absolutely composed, even when the enemy's broadsword was about to fall from the top of their heads. Two orange lines decorated with steel, motionless in the face of the wave-like onslaught.

In the face of this absolutely calm momentum, in the face of this courage of Tarzan collapsing forward without changing his face, the traitors finally began to hesitate and cringe......

They find themselves not dealing with individual people, but with machines.

But at this moment......

"Get on the bayonet! Drumming! Liang Zheng shouted.

The beating of the snare drums and the sound of military music stirred up a majestic march, and the soldiers of Yongning No. 1 took a step forward and raised their muskets with bayonets on their shoulders in unison.

"God bless Daming ~ kill!" Liang Zheng roared.

"Kill~!"

Snow-bright stabs, lined up in a dense forest of guns, flashing countless chilling cold lights in the sun, the soldiers of Yongning First Town lined up like a wall, and began to advance with the beat of the drum.

At this moment, all those who saw it could not help believing that even if there was a small mountain in front of them, they would be bulldozed by them!

And in the face of this momentum of death, the White Lotus traitors suddenly collapsed like a crumbling sand bank, and the rebels began to turn back from all sides at the same time, at first it was just one person, but soon there were two or three...... Immediately after, as if some deadly virus, an unprecedented rout instantly filled the entire army!

It's like a river thawing......

Everything began to be destroyed, divided, collapsed, collapsed......

The crowd rushed into each other, crowded with each other, throwing away their armor, and those terrible bayonets swept in from behind, just stabbing and stabbing in a frenzy...... And so a new round of life harvest began.

The attack turned into a rout, and the town army, which was only 500 people, was beaten by the White Lotus anti-thief wolf, which was several times its size, so the pursuit turned into a one-sided massacre.

Some people tried to resist on the spot, but before they could raise their knives, they were shot into a hornet's nest, some were cut off by bayonets, some were stabbed in the thighs and fell to the ground, and they were immediately trampled into flesh...... Then a new horror weighed on the hearts of the frightened birds, and the crowd was once again in an unprecedented flight......

Everyone trampled on each other, pushed each other, cried out, and pathos...... Competing for the road, lest they have two less legs.

And so on, a vicious circle.

It's just miserable.

The battle lasted less than half an hour before it ended, and the first town of Yongning paid about 100 casualties (including about 40 killed), but the White Lotus cultists, who had been invincible a quarter of an hour ago, left nearly 1,000 corpses (most of them died in the massacre after the collapse), spreading and spilling all over the county, and the red blood soaked through the cracks of the bluestone slabs, and even the air was filled with a strong fishy smell.

Liang Zheng took more than 20 elite soldiers of the guard platoon to clean up the remnants along the road, and when he saw the blood stained underground and the corpses everywhere, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and the moment he looked up, the first dawn had been released from the silent sky, and a thin layer of water vapor began to spread in all directions, and the night finally lightened his pace and slowly left.

"Is this long night finally coming to an end?"

He sighed, and was about to order his men to clean up the streets, when he saw Su Qinghe, the battalion leader of the first battalion, rushing over from that side.

"Report!"

"Speak."

"Most of the White Lotus traitors have been ambushed," Su Qinghe knelt on one knee and said loudly, "Miss Xiao Zhao is holding the city gate, and the rest have nowhere to escape, and they have all been captured, but they have escaped the bandit leader Bao Yong, please punish the commander." ”

“………… Get up, Bao Yong is already a lost dog now, so there is no need to worry. Liang Zheng hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him up, and comforted him gently, but his heart sank steeply.

The reverse canal is on the run, and it seems that this matter is not over yet......

This person must be arrested and brought to justice! Yu Gong, his duty is to exterminate the thieves and ensure the peace of the party, Bao Yong will come back one day; ...... in private

It can be regarded as revenge for Sun Zixian.

"Broaden your search." He said to Su Qinghe, "People will definitely not be able to run far, scatter all the people." A group of ten people, once you find that you don't have to report it, you can take it immediately! ”
