"General Peng, the last general is willing to be the vanguard, lead the men and horses of the headquarters to eat this Tiance army, and rub their sharp spirit."

It was an important leader under Zheng Zhipeng named Lin Cha who spoke, and there were more than 2,000 people under him.

"The courage of Leader Lin is commendable, but the Tiance army cannot be underestimated, the enemy's main force is not far from here, and our army must also fight quickly." Zheng Zhipeng said: "With your department as the vanguard, our army rushed up to destroy these hundreds of people." It is known that Tiance has sharp weapons, so you must be careful to guard against them. ”

"Order!" Lin Cha responded: "These people don't have artillery, and our army is equipped with bamboo guards and shields, so why be afraid." ”

The strategy of the bamboo shield was proposed by the Japanese guard captain Shintaro, this thing is very marketable in Japan, whenever the siege of the city, the forerunner of the ashigaru many carry this bamboo shield to resist the projectiles of the iron cannon.

After testing, this kind of bamboo shield is really effective when resisting firecrackers, and the cost is low, so Zheng Zhilong ordered people to make a large number of them to prevent the attack of the Tiance army.

So Lin Cha led his own headquarters and rushed towards the Tiance Army with a bamboo shield shouting, and Zheng Zhipeng also led a large group of men and horses to follow, and they wanted to eat the soldiers of the Tiance Army in this battalion.

Although the bamboo shield is made of bamboo, it can't take into account everyone, and the soldiers of the Zheng army equipped with bamboo shields account for about thirty percent, and these people are the vanguard.

Therefore, the Tiance army of the battalion saw a large number of Zheng soldiers, holding a huge bundle of firewood and rushing towards them. The bamboo shield is a shield formed by tightening the thick bamboo, almost blocking most of the person's body. Bamboo is tough, so it has a certain effect on resisting lead bullets.

"All ready to fight!" The battalion commander decisively ordered.

At a distance of 300 meters, nearly 500 Type 95 automatic rifles and 12 Type 85 heavy machine guns were fired at Zheng Jun.

Shooting ranges from initial burst fire to intermittent burst fire, in an orderly manner. The soldiers of the Fifth Brigade are already veterans of a hundred battles, and the enemy's 10,000-person scale is still calm and calm when they are hundreds of them, which is familiar and confident in the performance of their weapons.

The bullet swirled along the rifling and flew screaming over a distance of three hundred meters, tearing through the bamboo bundle in an instant.

Although the bamboo shield could withstand bows and arrows and most arquebus smoothbore bullets, it could not withstand the high-speed rotating bullets fired by rifled rifles.

When the bullet passes through the bundles of bamboo, the bamboo fibers are torn into countless bamboo sticks along the longitudinal line, and they are shot out like flowering bullets. Even though the soldiers standing behind the bamboo shield were not hit by bullets, they were pierced all over by the bamboo stick-like shards, and one by one they fell down screaming, rolling and shouting.

The rate of fire of the automatic rifle is unimaginable for any army in this time and space, and in less than a minute, the soldiers of the Tiance Army have knocked out an average of two magazines of bullets, and the total number of bullets thrown is more than 30,000 rounds, including heavy machine gun bullets.

The dense formation of the Zheng army was tragic, the first few rows were knocked down, the bamboo shield was smashed into a pile of pieces, and the soldiers holding the shield suffered tragic casualties - the wounded were particularly miserable, almost all of them were secondary injuries from bursting bamboo chips, and some were even covered with scaly wounds, covered in blood, but they could not die for a while and a half, rolling on the ground and screaming.

The archers and musketeers in the rear also fell in large numbers, and in the end, unable to face the heavy casualties, simply scattered and fled.

The most heroic are the rattan soldiers at the end of the formation, they are quite brave, known as "heavy righteousness and light life". They did not collapse immediately in the hail of bullets, but now they had silver stuffed into their waists, and they were even more courageous.

The rattan soldiers bowed their heads and bent down, hiding behind their shields, and charged forward regardless of life or death, very fierce and bold. In another time and space, during the battle with the Dutch on the island of Taiwan, the rattan soldiers earned the name of "mad dog" for their bravery and fearlessness.

However, the density of fire of the Type 95 automatic rifle was far from being comparable to that of the Dutch arquebus, and the rattan soldiers held out in the rain of bullets for about thirty seconds, and the soldiers who rushed forward to kill fell one after another, and the broken rattan broadswords were scattered to the ground, and no one could rush forward for a distance of fifty meters.

Where can the soldiers who are lucky enough to withstand such a blow, and can no longer care about the promised silver. They scattered, dropped the knife in their hands, and fled for their lives.

The soldiers of the Tiance Army, who had 10,000 men attacking a battalion, collapsed in two minutes with nearly half of the casualties.

The follow-up soldiers of the Tiance Army were also rushing over, starting with dozens of chariots, and there were many people on the chariots, which were some infantry rubbing the carts.

The artillery position in Huli Mountain has been erected, and dozens of shells have broken through the air and landed in the crowd of Zheng's rout, continuing to cause casualties.

Zheng Zhipeng, who was desperately restraining the rout in the rear team, suddenly heard the roar of death in mid-air, and before he could look up, explosions sounded continuously. Zheng Zhipeng didn't say a word, but was torn to pieces by the shells, and the little soldiers who had just gathered up also scattered when they heard the cannons and fled for their lives.

"Shhh It's over, it's over! Zheng Zhilong, who was standing at the head of the Zhongzuo City and watching the battle, gasped, and exclaimed in his heart, he immediately knew that the Zhongzuo City could not be defended.

A charge twenty times larger than the enemy was actually wiped out by more than half of the Tiance Army in minutes, where is this fighting, this is a massacre! The fire gun of the Tiance Army is far sharper than the legend, and the distance of more than 100 zhang is like probing for a bag, not to mention that it is far away and accurate, it is still a "Lianzhu gun"! How does this fight with?

There is also the range of the enemy's army artillery, the sound of firing is almost inaudible, and the direction of the enemy's artillery cannot be distinguished, only the whistling of shells can be heard, but death has come.

According to the report from the scouts, the strength of the Tiance Army may be close to 5,000, and the 10,000 people will be wiped out if they fight hundreds of people, so how can the 5,000 enemy resist it? Zheng Zhilong's back was already in a cold sweat.

The generals who also saw the battle situation also widened their eyes, with a look of disbelief, although the bamboo shield is not very reliable, but the enemy is too perverted, right?

It was Zheng Zhibao who reacted first, and he immediately urged Zheng Zhilong to say: "Big brother, let's go, I'll give it to my brother here, our Zheng family can't do without you." ”

If the Zheng family loses Zheng Zhilong, it will immediately fall apart. In history, after Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, Zheng Hongkui had Anping, Zheng Cai, Zheng Chenggong and others seized Xiamen, Zhangzhou, Longyan and other places. In the end, Zheng Chenggong annexed Zheng Cai's Xiamen, forced Zheng Hongkui to retreat to Baisha, and then annexed several other forces before reintegrating the Zheng family.

"Third brother, the Zhongzuo Office will be handed over to you, if you can't do anything, you must save your life. It's really not possible, my Zheng family can still retreat into Xianxia Pass and maneuver in the mountains with the Tiance army. ”
