Chapter 56: The Attack and Defense of the Stone Bridge 6

(Red ticket, red ticket, I want a red ticket!) )
That is, this time he led his troops to stop He Renlong, in fact, he didn't plan to defeat or defeat He Renlong with the strength of his Heavenly Army, let alone really block He Renlong so that he could not return to Longzhou, the fundamental purpose of his trip was to give He Renlong a dismount, he had already completed this purpose in the battle just now, and now it can be said that he is only expanding the results of the war.
And in this battle, he also made a mistake in his concept, that is, he relied too much on the power of firearms this time, and did not consider a close combat with the official army at all, so that he forgot the essence of a strong army, and blindly fought with the official army, but forgot that the real strong army in this era should actually be an army that dares to meet the enemy's bayonets.
Why couldn't the Ming army defeat the Eastern Tartars? In fact, he has asked himself how many times he has asked this question for a long time, because the Ming army lacks training and relies too much on the advantages of firearms, but he does not dare to meet with the soldiers and horses of wild boar skin, so that often the Ming army and the soldiers and horses of wild boar skin are in a confrontation, and the firearms are all indiscriminately beaten, and the three axes are cut, as soon as the Tartar army approaches the Ming army, the Ming army is frightened, and is rushed by the Tartars. They looted so much that no one even dared to stop them.
And he originally attached great importance to the field combat ability of the Xingtian Army, and even more to the training of the Xingtian Army in coordinated operations, but now it is good, but he is bent on blocking a small bridge here, fighting artillery battles and firepower with the officers and troops on the other side! Isn't this fundamentally putting the cart before the horse?
"Huh! Wait until you step back and rest! Ladies and gentlemen, it seems that we are probably going to have a tough battle with the officials and the army today! For a long time, our Xingtian Army has been waiting for the day, practicing every month, practicing every day, and starting to practice almost as soon as we open our eyes! For what?
It's just an army at the moment! Shall we be afraid of them? Since they want to come, let them come! Let's just wait for them here, I want to see how capable He Renlong is to swallow our Xingtian Army in one bite!" Are the brethren afraid? As soon as Xiao Tianjian thought about this, his spirit immediately relaxed.
"I'm afraid! Isn't it just a little more than us? I really don't believe it! We can't beat them? General, I'm not afraid! The head fell off the bowl and there was a big scar, what are you afraid of him doing? Luo Li was the first to shout, this guy is bold, and his nerves can be said to be the biggest one in the Xingtian Army, as if he never knew what it meant to be afraid.
Yan Chongxi took a deep breath and said with a smile: "Yes! Brother Luo is right, when did our Xingtian Army be afraid of anyone! Isn't it just an order for officers and soldiers? Let them let the horses come! ”
Li Xuanzhu also shouted in a loud voice: "I'm not afraid of Lao Li, if you want to say that our life can live until now, it is already earned, let them come, come to kill one Lao Tzu, come and kill one pair!" As he spoke, he picked up a whip he had recently replaced, and waved it in his hand.
As for Shi Ran, he didn't say anything, anyway, he would do whatever Xiao Tianjian asked him to do.
Zhao Erdonkey was not to be outdone, patted his chest and shouted: "I, Zhao Erdonkey, am not a bad breed, the official army is here, let's kill it!" ”
"Hey, hey! Forget it! My Feng Gouzi's rotten life, I can be regarded as living like a human being until now, I'm afraid of him! Feng Gouzi snorted with his usual ruffian smile.
"Haha...... Good! I, Xiao, can have your brothers to assist, it is really my Xiao's luck! Since He Renlong wants to eat us in one bite, then let him come! I want to see if he has the ability to gnaw at our hard bones! Don't care about them on both sides first, let's cripple the middle road first! Aren't they coming over? Then let them come! Let's wait for them to shut down the door and beat the dog!
Go down and call the brethren to get ready, and we will let them go and clean them up in a dignified manner! After Xiao Tianjian listened to the words of his subordinates, he couldn't help but be arrogant in his heart, with one hand on his waist and the other hand waving and laughing loudly at them.
"The subordinates have to be ordered...... The generals did not say a word, and strode into their ranks one after another, and began to beckon the soldiers who were sitting on the ground to rest and get up and prepare for work.
But Liu Bao didn't leave, he leaned in front of Xiao Tianjian with a shy face, and said with a smile to Xiao Tianjian: "Palm...... Oh no! It's the general! The recruits under the lowly rank have also been trained for a long time, if it were in the past, the general would have already incorporated them into the soldiers, and these guys have also seen blood, if you want to say that they can be used a long time ago! How about this time the general gives them a chance to practice their hands? These guys hum like flies next to their ears every day, you don't know how annoying it is! Just give them a chance! ”
Xiao Tianjian squinted at Liu Bao who was stammering, but he was very happy in his heart, what he Xiao Tianjian wanted most was that his subordinates were not afraid of war, and those soldiers were just going back, and now even the hundreds of recruits led by Liu Bao also wanted to ask for battle, which showed that the soldiers under his command had indeed been trained now! At least everyone is belligerent and proud to be able to go into battle to kill the enemy, which is enough to make him happy!
"It's the five hundred elites in the official army who came over, this is not Feng Xiangwei's guard army, they are all border troops trained by He Madman's men, the five hundred people in your new barracks, none of them are matched, do you dare to meet them? Don't say it's nice, a group of people pee their pants as soon as they go into battle! When the time comes, it will ruin my big deal! Xiao Tianjian asked Liu Bao with a tone of ridicule and distrust.
After Liu Bao heard this, his face suddenly turned red, and he straightened his chest and shouted loudly: "General, don't look down on these recruits under our surname Liu, although they don't have armor, but they are not bad breeds, please rest assured general, if someone dares to pee his pants in battle, my surname Liu will squeeze out the eggs in his crotch with my own hands!" I'll leave it to my subordinates this time! If his subordinates can't defeat these officers and soldiers, they are willing to screw off this head and give it to the general for the night pot! ”
The corners of Xiao Tianjian's mouth finally showed a satisfied smile, and he reached out and patted Liu Bao's shoulder and said, "You still keep this head for your own use!" It's a shame to use it for me as a night pot! Since you said so, I'm going to give you a chance at the boot camp this time! But the ugly words are not ugly in front of me, I want to win this battle, if you defeat me, then all go to the barracks to feed me livestock! There are a lot of people in the barracks who think of the war team! ”
"Order! Please rest assured, General! I'm going down! Haha......" As soon as Liu Bao heard that Xiao Tianjian had agreed to his request, he immediately jumped up, agreed, and rushed to his new barracks.
Since Liu Bao was transferred to the recruit camp as the head of the music instructor, he has not been in battle for several times, at most after the battle, he is responsible for cleaning the battlefield with the recruits, doing a job of mending the knife for the enemy's wounded soldiers, this heart has long been holding his breath, these recruits have also been trained in his hands for more than two months, a group of them have been selected into the soldiers, and the remaining five hundred or so people are anxious, they are all one nose and two eyes, people can be selected into the soldiers, but they are still staying in the recruit camp, This person has self-esteem, seeing that people are issued armor and have meat to eat, but their new barracks do not have this treatment, they are all tired like donkeys every day, people can kill the enemy when they go into battle, but they only have the share of cleaning, this 'unequal' treatment, after a long time, some people can't stand it.
So during this time, the recruits in their new barracks practiced very hard, and the training subjects had already been overcompleted, but because the Xingtian Army moved to Longzhou, they were still not included in the soldiers, so these guys were anxious, this time they finally fought in Longzhou, but they could only be responsible for operating the throwing car, watching the soldiers work in front, and they were firing guns and arrows, but they could only load stones and pull ropes, and throw stones from afar.
So in the past two days, they have been chattering around Liu Bao in private, wanting to be incorporated into the soldiers, and at the very least, they will also give them a chance to show their faces.
When Liu Bao jumped out to ask for their lives, when they saw Liu Baoxing rushing towards them, the leaders of the new barracks surrounded them and asked, "How about General Liu?" Will our brothers be able to catch a shot this time? ”
Liu Bao shouted loudly with a smug smile to the large group of people under him: "It's all clear to Lao Tzu, this time our general said, give you guys a chance, let the officers and soldiers on the other side of the bridge come over to fight, and let you go into battle!" But the ugly words are also said before, and it is you guys who are shouting to go into battle, if anyone pees his pants in battle, Lao Tzu will squeeze out his eggs with his own hands and let him go to be a eunuch! This battle can only be won and not defeated, and if it is lost, even I will go to the baggage team to feed the cattle with you rabbit cubs! If anyone asks Lao Tzu to feed the animals, Lao Tzu will let him drink horse urine and eat feces every day! Listen to them all, array! The sword player is in the front, the pikeman is in the back, and they are lined up in five columns! The team will all be in the middle! ”
I could only hear the shouts of the five hundred recruits, and immediately began to line up behind the earthen embankment under the shouts of the generals, which startled the soldiers who were getting up and lined up, and they couldn't help but look at them sideways.
Although the five hundred recruits are not evenly armored, the quality of the weapons is not bad, each of the knife players has a leather wicker round shield, and a four-foot-long single knife, each knife player also carries two additional short javelins that have been eliminated by the soldiers, as their auxiliary weapons, and the spearmen are also four and a half meters long spears of one color, but the three-edged spear head is still limited at the moment, and it is loaded with ordinary spear heads, but each spear head is also sharpened by them, and there is no doubt that these things cannot kill people.
The whole team of five hundred people only took a cup of tea, and compared to the speed reached by the soldiers, they did not check anything at all, and one by one the recruits followed their leader, and straightened their waists with excited chests and stomachs, and quickly completed the whole team behind the earthen embankment, and before there was a new order, they remained silent, and the whole team was only the sound of human breathing, and no other noise could be heard.
Xiao Tianjian turned around and saw that the new battalion had completed the whole team, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and he said to the iron head who followed him: "These guys are morale-worthy!" When they go back to this battle, it's time for them to join the warband! ”
Tietou glanced at the recruit camp coldly, and did not speak, but nodded to express Xiao Tianjian's words.
