Chapter 54: The Great Gift Flower

As soon as Jin Mingyin's side sounded, An Xin in the back camp knew that something was wrong at the entrance of the village, and according to his mood of wanting to know the real situation at the entrance of the village, he pulled the black green horse beside him, turned over and sat firmly on the horse, and walked away in the direction of the comfortable army.

On high slopes

Looking at the bright steel knives under the slope, Jin Mingyin gritted his teeth and said to everyone: "Load the old-fashioned projectiles!" ”

The kind of iron sheet that Jin Mingyin showed to An Yi last time was a new-style Ziqi projectile, that is, the kind that had just been shot, which was powerful and loud. The old-fashioned projectile in his mouth now is actually a pure* projectile that is not wrapped in iron sheets.

This kind of projectile Jin Mingyin is mostly used to make new projectile raw materials, and it is relatively easy to make, so these people brought by Jin Mingyin are more or less a little bit in their hands, this kind of projectile is not only relatively small in power, but also has the most fatal shortcoming, that is, it is easy to explode!

"General, if this kind of projectile is easy to hurt people if it explodes, this new gun will be scrapped!" A sergeant next to him took a gun with an open breech and finally asked Jin Mingyin,

Jin Mingyin closed his eyes, "Pretend!" Everyone stood up, their breeches pointed to the sky, and they swooped down! This projectile is not powerful enough, so bring them close and listen to my orders to shoot! ”

The surrounding sergeants who trained to load ammunition every day quickly completed the loading of the projectile, and then stood up one after another, pointed the gun to the bottom of the slope, the breech was facing the sky, and put their fingers on the trigger with a little nervousness, waiting for Jin Mingyin's order.

In just a breath or two of their reloading, Chaaon's cavalry was already in the middle of the slope.

Jin Mingyin raised his right hand high, and then stretched out three fingers,

"Three!"

"Two!"

When he counted two fingers, the cavalry had already rushed up the high slope, Jin Mingyin looked at them, the cold sweat on his forehead ran down his cheeks like a stream, and the finger raised high trembled slightly with fear.

The sergeants on both sides seemed to have seen their own shadows reflected on each other's bright steel knives, holding the trembling fire guns in their hands, and some of them were even waiting for Jin Mingyin's order, or the cavalryman's steel knives slashing through their necks.

However, Jin Mingyin knew that now was not the best time to fire, so he could only suppress his beating heart and continue to count,

"One!"

The trunk of the war horse was already ringing clearly in his ears, and the cavalry of Chaon had already jumped high on the front hooves of the war horse, releasing the weight of their whole body on the steel knife that was about to be cut.

"Put!"

Jin Mingyin's order made these sergeants in the ice cellar feel like they were reborn, and they pulled the trigger one after another.

"Boom!"

Another round of salvos, except for a few shots that exploded, at such a close distance, even this old-fashioned projectile shot these cavalrymen, men and horses. One by one, they fell off their horses and rolled down the hill.

This time it was really the favor of Lady Luck, and the semi-finished projectiles with a normal explosion rate of seven or eight out of ten, except for a sergeant who injured his hand, the others just smashed the breech of the gun.

Lucky!

Before Jin Mingyin could breathe a sigh of relief, Jiang Ruyue under the high slope shouted at them: "Mingyin, withdraw to the back camp, go quickly!" Go get the short crossbow! ”

Jiang Ruyue saw the scene just now at the bottom of the slope, although he didn't know what old-fashioned projectiles and new-style projectiles were, he only knew that Jin Mingyin was willing to take this risk, which meant that the powerful firearm had failed.

Jin Mingyin nodded heavily at Jiang Ruyue, then waved his hand and shouted to the surrounding sergeants: "Withdraw!" Evacuate to the rear camp! Go get the short crossbow! ”

Xia Ang, who was under the high slope, watched the second round of charging and was knocked on his back by Jin Mingyin, his eyes were almost spewing fire, and the green tendons on his head jumped suddenly, lying on top of his head like a small green snake.

Originally, I thought that this was the fully armed cavalry of the pioneer battalion, and even if it was comfortable, the entire regimental training camp was only one or two hundred people, and it was not a problem to kill him a few times and lose his armor. Who knew that in the case of a comfortable large army mobilization, the remaining handful of men and horses would fold him so many people, which made him a little unbearable.

Xia Ang may not know that the small group of training envoys of Anyi is really different from what it used to be.

But of course, he also saw that Jin Mingyin's powerful firearm was afraid that it had already been dumbfounded. Xia Ang immediately motioned to the little school on the side to gather all the remaining people and horses, and now he couldn't care about those villagers, and concentrated on eating these people who were left behind by An Yi first, otherwise no one would be able to get out.

By the time Xia Ang gathered his men, with his familiarity with the barracks, Jiang Ruyue and Jin Mingyin had already crossed the school field and came to the front of the back camp.

Jiang Ruyue saw that only a bare wooden stake was left where An Xin tied his horse, and knew that An Xin had already gone to find An Yi and Lin Muzhi's army, he pointed to the wooden stake and said to everyone: "It seems that An Xin has gone to find a large army, so as long as we can hold on for a moment here, when An Yi turns back, none of them can escape!" ”

Jin Mingyin roughly counted the number of people, plus him and Jiang Ruyue, now there are seventeen people left on their side, he said to Jiang Ruyue: "Brother Ruyue, we are these people now, although the short crossbow is powerful, but I estimate that there are at least hundreds of cavalry on Xia Ang's side, what should we do?" ”

The advantage in the rate of fire of the short crossbow cannot make up for this huge numerical disadvantage, and the opponent is the cavalry of the garrison vanguard battalion of Chengdu Prefecture, and the equipment will only be better than them, and it will never be worse than them. Therefore, it is obviously unrealistic to rely on a short crossbow to survive until the arrival of comfort.

Jiang Ruyue knew what Jin Mingyin meant, he touched his head and thought about it, and said to everyone: "In this way, we will divide the troops." Ming Yin, you take ten people to stay, hide them in each room in front of the camp, and use short crossbows to shoot the approaching cavalry! If you have hidden these houses, you must remember to take refuge in them from east to west, following the direction of our camp, with two people in each room, and when they come near, you will fire arrows in that order! In other words, arrows can only be fired by a maximum of two people in a room at a time! When the cavalry came, they ran, and when they left, they continued to shoot arrows! They don't have arrows, and they can't die if they are flexible, understand? ”

Jin Mingyin nodded, but he didn't understand, why didn't he release the arrows together? The short crossbow and musket are the same thing, and the power of the salvo is the greatest.

Jiang Ruyue waved her hand at him, asking him not to ask so much for the time being, just do what he said, no matter what happens, he must release the arrows in turn.

Jin Mingyin agreed, and was about to turn around, but just about to get up, he was dragged by Jiang Ruyue again, and asked him, "Where are those * of yours?" ”

Jin Mingyin pointed in the direction of the rear camp and said, "In the small room at the back, the guns are gone, what do you want them to do?" ”

Jiang Ruyue didn't answer him, but just told him: "You remember, you must be hiding in the westernmost arrow, hear my shout, you run to the back camp, I still need you here!" ”

This time Jin Mingyin was stunned, and hurriedly asked, "Need me?" Am I not going to shoot the cavalry in front of the battalion? ”

Jiang Ruyue didn't say much, just smiled and said to him: "I need you to give them a big gift!" After saying that, he left the confused Jin Mingyin and led the remaining sergeants towards the rear camp.

Xia Ang's more than 100 cavalry soon rushed into the barracks under his personal leadership. But he didn't find any trace of the gang just now, he looked at a row of wooden houses in front of the school field, pointed with his hand, and said to the little school: "They must be hiding somewhere, surround me, and I can't let any of them go!" ”

"Yes!"

The little colonel took the order and went with the men and horses, and surrounded them in one go.

"Ahh

Before the first second of the wooden house in the surrounding road, two cavalrymen covered their faces and fell down their horses in pain.

Immediately afterwards, the little colonel saw a few cold rays shoot out of the easternmost room quickly, either on the horse's head or in the face of a man, at a very tricky angle, and at a very fast rate of fire, and many soldiers on the horses had fallen to the ground between the lightning and flint.

"Over there!"

With a gesture of his hand, the colonel motioned for the cavalry around him to surround the easternmost room.

"Oops!"

Who knew that as soon as these cavalrymen urged the horses under their crotches to turn around, three cavalrymen were hit by several arrows in the back.

"Captain! There's that too! ”

Several cavalrymen reported in the opposite direction like the little colonel.

"Over there! I wrap it up, too! ”

"Yikes!"

Two more men were shot in the legs of the horses under their seats, and the frightened horses raised their front hooves high, and the cavalry fell to the ground, and then galloped all the way and disappeared into the night.

For a while, the sound of arrows breaking through the wind was endless, and there was no human figure in the darkness, only the flickering cold light, and the ensuing screams, the little school felt that this row of houses was simply full of hidden murderous intentions.

Xia Ang behind him saw that the group of cavalry in his hands was actually being played by these dozen people, and he couldn't help but be angry in his heart, and shouted angrily at them: "All are fools! Throw torches into the house and burn them!" ”

The cavalry listened to Chaaon's instructions, then turned over and dismounted, lit the linoleum torches they carried on their horses, and threw them into the darkness where the cold light flashed.....

Besides, Jiang Ruyue took a few sergeants to the back camp and opened the last room that Jin Mingyin told him.

When I opened the door, it was full of yellow-brown oilcloth sacks. Jiang Ruyue walked into the room and untied a sack and saw that it was all black*, it seemed right, this was it.

He hurriedly commanded the sergeants behind him, saying: "Pour all the sacks* into the back camp, and remember, every room must be poured inside and out, and this open space must also be poured out!" ”

"Yes!"

Several sergeants nodded, and according to what Jiang Ruyue said, they began to resist the sack full of oilcloth bag by bag, and then untied the mouth of the sack, and spread those powdery black particles everywhere in the back camp.

"Ah~"

As room after room was set on fire, the screams of the crossbowmen hiding in the room were constantly heard. The sergeant in the next room saw the torches thrown from the sky, and he was still waiting to be roasted? They all hurriedly threw away their weapons and ran out of the house.

The torches on the house lit up red in the night sky, and the cavalrymen, who had come close to the house, took advantage of the light of the fire to cut down the sergeants who had fled out of the house with their steel knives in fear.

Jin Mingyin followed Jiang Ruyue's instructions, took two short crossbowmen, hid in the westernmost room, and kept looking out through the crack in the window. Because they hadn't shot the cavalry yet, they weren't exposed yet, but soon someone was coming towards them with torches.

He peeked out of the window, then turned to the two sergeants beside him with fear on their faces and whispered, "Aim at the horses, shoot their horses, shoot them in the buttocks!" ”

The two sergeants nodded as if they were eating rice, put the short crossbow in their hands on the window, and snapped the bracket.

"Whoosh! Sou! ”

The six short arrows flew out.

When the cavalry heard the sound of the bowstring, they subconsciously hurriedly waved the steel knife in front of them.

However, after a long time, I didn't hear the metallic sound of the arrow hitting the blade as expected, but I saw a few cold rays of light shooting towards the horses behind me with the sound of breaking wind in my ears.

"Sigh Rule~"

The horses that were suffering from pain in their buttocks suddenly raised their front hooves, panicked, and riveted enough strength to break free from the reins of the horses held by the cavalry beside them, and rushed away in all directions, sending many people around them seven or eight paces away.

The sergeants with torches in front of the house, looking at the war horses with a little magnification in their eyes, were knocked away by the sturdy horses before they could shout, and they smashed into the earthen wall of the house and rolled to the ground, knocking him into a rut and spitting blood, and he could no longer stand up.

However, although Jin Mingyin made these people riot for a while, he also exposed himself. Soon the men with torches and steel knives gathered in circles.

Jin Mingyin and the two sergeants kept putting arrows out, while anxiously waiting for Jiang Ruyue's shout.

The torches thrown by those cavalry had already ignited the periphery of the house, and the blazing tongue of fire made Jin Mingyin feel a wave of heat.

"Jiang Ruyue isn't ready yet? Lao Tzu is about to be roasted! ”
