Volume 1 Chapter 48 Battle
It is said that the pirates were deflated in Beishan Village and found nothing, so in a fit of anger, they scattered their feet and chased after the villagers who had fled.
However, after all, the villagers of Beishan Village set off two quarters of an hour before them, and they chased for a while, but they still didn't see a single person, but found another village on the side of the road.
At this time, the pirate leader felt that he was robbing wherever he was robbing anyway, and since the people in front couldn't catch up, it would be the same to go to the nearby village to rob, so he waved his hand and made everyone turn around and go straight to the nearby Binhai Village.
As you can imagine, the villagers of Binhai Village also ran away with the villagers of Beishan Village, and they again found nothing.
Now, the pirate leader is really on fire, and he has been busy for a long time, not to mention his belongings, and he has not even seen a single human hair, and he has never failed so much since he became a pirate.
Run, Lao Tzu let you run.
In a fit of anger, he directly led his subordinates to chase westward, and he didn't care about any villages next to him, he was tricked twice in a row, how could he solve the hatred in his heart if he didn't catch those villagers.
Unexpectedly, chasing and chasing, there were more and more footprints on the ground, and at that scale, I am afraid that there are not thousands of people.
Obviously, along the way, all the people of the village are fleeing westward, as long as they can catch up, the flower girl, the goods, the livestock, etc., etc., how many and so on!
The pirate leader was so excited that he almost raised his head and laughed.
The pirates were also excited, and the road was densely packed with footprints, ox hoof prints, and wheel prints, layer after layer, and the blind could see how many people were in front of them.
After chasing for about a quarter of an hour, a bunch of dark shadows finally appeared in front of them, and when they did, they finally caught up, and the pirate leader almost danced with excitement.
Wait, it seems a little wrong, how are these black shadows rapidly getting bigger.
He rubbed his eyes and took a closer look, damn, these people are really running towards them!
At this time, Zhang Bin was also excited.
He originally thought that it was very likely that this group of pirates did not chase after them, but went to plunder elsewhere, and he had to find them everywhere, but he didn't expect that he had only run two or three miles before he ran into them.
Looking at the slowly approaching pirate, his hand grasping the reins gradually clenched, and his palms were sweating.
Two lives as a human being, the first time to fight, to say not to be nervous, that is false.
The battle is cruel, either you die or I die, if you don't kill the enemy, the enemy will kill you.
Killing people is quite a challenge for him, who has never killed a few chickens.
However, to save the Ming Dynasty, not to fight, not to kill, it is impossible, whether it is a pirate or a thief, whether it is Houjin or a thorn, or even a corrupt official, you have to kill, otherwise, the Ming Dynasty will finish playing sooner or later.
He's not the kind of person who is indecisive, and since he has to kill, from now on, kill!
He slowly raised his hand and said loudly: "Slow down, the sword and shield are in front, the spear, the hook and sickle are followed, the royal saber is in the center, the bow and arrow are in the back, and they are lined up horizontally." ”
Under his order, Zheng Cai and the others who were following him immediately shouted, and after a while, more than 500 people changed from the five-way column to the five rows, and slowly pressed forward.
The ups and downs of life come too fast, it's too exciting, the exciting pirate leader wants to spurt blood, one moment he was still thinking about how to act recklessly among thousands of people, and the next moment, a bunch of villagers rushed over on the other side!
The main reason why he thinks it is a village warrior is because these guards do not wear uniform uniforms, and there are no firearms in the team, all knives, guns or something.
Although there are a few people wearing fish scale armor in the middle of the team, it does not mean that this is a regular army, after all, Xiang Yong also has a leader, and it is not surprising that a few leaders wearing fish scale armor appear in Xiang Yong.
He, like Zhang Bin, was misled by rumors, and he also believed that the Ming army should have a musket and a lot of artillery, all of which were holding cold weapons in their hands, not Xiangyong?
Since he is a village warrior, there is nothing to be afraid of, he also ordered his subordinates to slow down, line up horizontally, and slowly press forward.
After a while, the distance between the pirate and the guard was shortened to about 100 paces, and at this time, the two sides stopped tacitly.
Zhang Bin and the pirate leader both know that the distance of 100 steps is relatively safe, and if they get closer, it will be dangerous, because the farthest attack distance of ordinary bows and arrows is about 100 steps, and if they get closer, they are likely to become the target of the opponent's bow and arrow.
As for what kind of 100 steps through Yang, basically don't think about it, it refers to the arrow shot by the archer with a strong bow of more than three stones, and the average person, with an ordinary longbow, can shoot a hundred steps away.
What's next?
Zhang Bin was still thinking about it, but the pirate leader had already walked out of the team and swaggered to the middle of the two formations, with his hands on his hips and his nostrils facing the sky, extremely arrogant.
Is there something wrong with this guy, Zhang Bin looked at the pirate leader dumbfounded, and asked in surprise: "This guy, what do you mean, looking for death?" ”
Zhang Guan beside him shook his head and said: "No, this guy should have some kung fu, plus he is wearing hanging armor, ordinary bows and arrows should not be able to hurt him, he is demonstrating, probably trying to scare us away." ”
Zhang Guan was right, this pirate leader really wanted to scare them away, although he relied on his martial arts and was not afraid of this gang of villagers, but it was not possible to defeat such a large group of people for a while.
He also knew that Pingyang County was only ten miles away from here, and if he spent a few hours with these people, the ordinary people in front of him would flee to the county seat, and he would rob a fart.
He is not a fool, and he will not do such a thankless task unless he has to.
He stood up just to intimidate the leader of the other party, to see if he could scare people away, of course, if he really couldn't scare them away, then he had to find a way to defeat them as soon as possible.
There were thousands of civilians in front of him, and there were countless belongings, and it was impossible for him to give up easily.
This stupid bi, I shouldn't know that I have a musket here, you can block the bow and arrow, I don't believe that your musket can also be blocked, this distance is just within the range of the bird's gun, Zhang Bin decided to use the musket to sneak attack and kill him.
The so-called "capture the thief and capture the king first", looking at the appearance of this guy, he must be the leader of this gang of pirates, as long as he is killed, this gang of pirates will inevitably be in chaos, and when the time comes, the casualties on his side will be much smaller.
Thinking of this, he directly ordered: "All the musketeers load their ammunition and prepare to shoot, second brother, you go up and say a perfunctory sentence to distract him, be careful." ”
Hearing this, Zhang Guan nodded, and urged the horse to slowly move towards the formation.
He knew that Zhang Bin wanted to use a musket to sneak attack and kill this guy, this method, he thought, was very good.
Although he is confident in his kung fu, he is not confident enough to think that he can take the head of the enemy general in the army of thousands of people, and the other party is obviously also a practitioner, not something that can be solved in three or two strokes, if someone suddenly releases a cold arrow in the pirate, then he is in danger, or it is better to put a cold gun to knock him down.
