Chapter 240: Sweep 1
Song Gan said that the bandits gathered in the temple, and in order not to alarm the bandits inside, Qian Sanniang and others ran into a hillside not far from the left side of the temple. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
A group of people hid in the birch weeds, and secretly looked down, and at the bottom of the mountain was the Temple of Our Lady, that is, the Houtu Temple, and in some places it was also called the Temple of the Mother of God. The temple is not small, there is a main hall, a dedication hall, a courtyard, a backyard or something, and there are several big locust trees in the courtyard.
Although the wind and rain eroded, you can see the glory of the temple of Our Lady in the past, the incense is vigorous, and there are even permanent abbot monks. But now the temple is damaged, and the courtyard is full of barren grass, and only desolation remains.
A loess path winds from the broken gatehouse to the Beizhuang Gate in Fengshan Village, just over a hundred steps from the village wall.
Qian Sanniang and the others looked carefully, it seemed that there was smoke curling in the backyard, and then the figures in the courtyard flickered from time to time, full of vicious bandits. Some people were in rags, some were brightly dressed, some were holding machetes, some were carrying bows and arrows, laughing or scolding, and the sound of chaos came from time to time.
There were even some bandits gathered in front of the gatehouse, laughing loudly, lazily and unguarded.
The sentry cavalry watched, and many people showed contempt in their eyes, the rabble, with the elite of the Xin'anzhuang sentry cavalry, these country bandits were defeated with one blow.
Qian Lijue also went out with him this time, bringing handguns, riding winged tiger guns, rockets, and a seven-force bow, he squeezed to Qian Sanniang's side, and said excitedly: "Sister, let's kill it, rush in through the gate, and kill all these bandits." ”
Qian Sanniang's face sank: "Call me Captain Qian." ”
She taught her younger brother: "Don't despise it just because you are a bandit, Yang Xianggong said in class that the lion fights the rabbit with all his strength." When I take my brothers out of the sentry, I have to think about their safety. This knife and gun are not long-sighted, you are reckless, what if the brothers are killed or injured? ”
She scolded Qian Lijue so much that she couldn't touch the door, looked carefully below for a while, and finally looked at Pei Pochuan and Ling Zhanyun.
Pei Pochuan said: "Captain Qian will arrange it." ”
Ling Zhanyun hesitated slightly, then nodded.
Qian Sanniang said: "Okay, then I'm welcome." ”
She said: "The intelligence of the villagers, there are nearly fifty bandits below, and there are some bows and arrows. But I guess that most of them are small bows, and the bow strength is at most five or six forces. Our side uses a strong bow of seven or eight forces, as well as firearms, ten thousand enemies, and armor, so we have a great advantage. ”
She said: "But you can't underestimate the enemy, so when you attack, you still have to form a formation, and you have to cover the front with a shield." ”
She quickly arranged: "Uncle Qi, you stay and watch the horses." For example, Sister Wan and Uncle Wan, you are holding the shield at the front. There are also me, Tan Ge'er, Starling and others holding horses, and Uncle Fan, Qian Lijue, Song Ge'er, Mao Ge'er and others holding bows and arrows. Our tactics are to shield and shoot, shoot with bows and arrows at a distance, hit with firearms when you are close, throw thousands of enemies at a close distance, and finally use handcuffs. ”
She said: "Yang Xianggong said that if you can solve it from afar, don't fight each other in a short fight. If you can blow up 10,000 enemies, don't use firearms. In case of a short-handed encounter, take your shields, and after entering the courtyard, you can divide into two formations. ”
She even explained to everyone: "When you force out, you must pay attention to the formation, and the fire gun must also be aimed at hitting." ”
Everyone listened to her arrangement, and they all kept nodding their heads, feeling that this had the taste of the military, not a swarm of rabble.
Pei Pochuan and Ling Zhanyun showed a look of admiration, sure enough, Captain Qian had a hand in command, according to their frame, if Qian Lijue said that he would rush in and slash directly, how could there be so many twists and turns?
Qian Sanniang finally said: "I look at the temple of Our Lady, there is a door in the backyard, and some walls are also damaged, maybe some bandits will escape." Just as Captain Pei and Captain Ling watched outside, some bandits ran out of the back door and came out of the wall, and they were all killed. ”
After Qian Sanniang finished arranging, everyone quickly prepared, and they all took off their horses and rode winged tiger guns.
This gun is six pounds and seven taels, and it is very convenient to use immediately under the horse. Daming also has winged tiger guns, divided into flat row wing tiger guns, rotary wing tiger guns two kinds, generally weigh five pounds and six taels. The Winged Tiger Gun used in Xin'anzhuang is slightly heavier, but it is not a problem for everyone to use.
Moreover, the Xin'an Zhuang Wing Tiger has a strap, which can also be carried on the body when not in use.
Everyone carried it, even Qian Lijue and others, who arranged to use bows and arrows.
Everyone also took side cards, except for Li Ruwan and Uncle Wan, all of whom were put on their left arms.
Everyone originally carried bows and arrows, and they were carrying the same at this time, especially Qian Sanniang still used a ten-force bow, a strong bow of one stone.
Everyone quickly prepared and methodically checked their weapons.
Everyone was very calm, and all the dart divisions were out of the sentry as sentry horses, and there were many battles on the battlefield, so it was not as fuss as in the first battle. Many people also like this exciting feeling, and the sentinel has gained a lot.
Of course, the sentinel fight is also dangerous, when Jiu Ye and others joined, several people have been killed in the battle, and some people are disabled for life and cannot ride horses, which also makes some dart masters retreat.
However, they all promised the ninth master, even if they retired, they would work for Xin'anzhuang for at least three years.
Qian Sanniang took off the cavalry side card from the saddle and put it on her left arm, and took a riding winged tiger gun in her hand, still with two handcuffs around her waist, as well as a heavy sword and a bow and arrows on her back.
Seeing that Li Ruwan next to her quickly sorted out her axe, she held the side card in her hand, and pulled out a handcuff, "Kakaka", and pulled the hammer to the maximum position to be fired.
looked at his younger brother Qian Lijue again, put on his back the riding gun, took out the Seven Forces Bow in his hand, and his face was full of excitement. There are also two dart masters who each carry a basket, which contains some round, black, and three-pound 10,000 enemies.
At this time, the sun is shining, and it is quite hot and dry on everyone's cloak and cotton armor, but when fighting on the battlefield, the armor cannot be less, and no matter how hot it is, it must be worn.
Seeing that everyone was ready, Qian Sanniang said: "Fight quickly!" ”
She wrenched the hammer of the winged tiger in her hand and shouted softly, "Go down!" ”
The footsteps of "boom", the dust was constantly being stepped up, Li Ruwan and Uncle Wan were in front with side cards, and the rest followed behind, rolling down, like a tiger descending the mountain. Soon only the figures of black cloaks and gray felt hats loomed into the sky.
Song Gan came to see these people unstoppably descending the mountain, and he only admired in his heart.
……
The group rolled away, Li Ruwan and Uncle Wan rushed to the front, both holding cards in one hand and guns in the other.
Qian Sanniang and the others followed closely behind, and it was divided into two layers, with the fire gun in front and the bow and arrow behind.
After everyone descended the mountain, they immediately turned to the gatehouse in front of them. Because they had been lurking on the hillside on the left side of the temple, when they descended the hill, they were walking around the gate from the side. However, there are potholes on the side of the temple wall, but they can't be very sideways, and they basically rush to the gatehouse head-on.
At this time, more than a dozen bandits gathered in front of the gatehouse to laugh, and suddenly a divine soldier descended from the sky, and all the bandits were stunned.
It was still a bandit who reacted, this bandit was nearly fifty years old, lean, but his eyes were full of cunning and ferocity, and he was wearing a blue robe, which was quite temperamental.
He was laughing wildly, when he suddenly saw Qian Sanniang and his party, his eyes shrank, and he immediately grabbed the short axe placed beside him, which can be described as a very fast reaction.
And he reacted so quickly, he was 100% a professional bandit, probably for generations, hundreds of years in this business.
After all, even if they are bandits, they will hesitate and be frightened when they see these suspected officers and soldiers, and this bandit reacts immediately, he must be a bandit, and his hands are stained with a lot of human blood.
Qian Sanniang shouted: "Release the arrow!" ”
"Whoosh-"
The thief subconsciously wanted to dodge, but with a "poof", he staggered to the ground, and Sen Han's arrows shot in from his chest, leaking out from behind him, and blood splattered out.
But it was Brother Song who shot him with an arrow.
There was also an arrow shot into his left eye, and the flesh of the eyeball spurted out with blood, but it was the masterpiece of Qian Lijue.
The arrow pierced deeply, and the bandit opened his mouth wide and howled,
The two of them shot one person together, but Uncle Fan and Brother Mao also shot one person each.
Both of them were more steady, and they both shot large targets, and the heavy arrows whistled past, and each shot through the chest of one of the bandits.
The three bandits rolled to the ground, and in an instant, the yellow earth surface was covered with a large area of shocking blood.
At this time, the bandits were even more exclaimed, and said one after another: "Officers and soldiers, there are officers and soldiers!" ”
Qian Sanniang shouted again: "Release the arrow!" ”
Another "collapsing" bowstring sounded, four more heavy arrows roared past, and four more bandits screamed and rolled to the ground.
The sentinels were skillful in riding bows and horses, and they were even more flawless in less than thirty paces.
Qian Lijue walked to the crooked door again, as soon as his hand was loosened, the seven-force bow shot arrows, and a bandit with a machete in his hand rolled to the ground, his neck was shot through, and he rolled on the ground to cover his throat, and bright red foam continued to spew out.
The remaining bandits at the gatehouse were in a panic, and at this time, the temple courtyard was also shouting, and someone shouted: "There are officers and soldiers." ”
Some people also roared: "Brothers, don't be afraid, the guys, and go back with me." ”
Then all sorts of bandits poured out, with all sorts of weapons in their hands, knives, axes, spears, bows, arrows, and shields.
Qian Sanniang shouted: "Pay attention to the formation, protect it with a shield, and tiptoe forward!" ”
Still Li Ruwan and Uncle Wan covered by the cards, and after the rest Qian Sanniang tiptoed, the nine people formed a formation and forced them step by step.
Uncle Fan and the others shot as they walked, and the arrows whizzed past, and from time to time some bandits screamed and fell to the ground.
There were arrows whistling over there, the arrows were light and smart, they were all not heavy arrows, and they were all blocked by Li Ruwan and others, and the sound of "tuk tuk" sounded. There are also arrows shot on the hemispherical iron cover in the middle of the cards next to the two, and the sound of "ding" sounds.
Occasionally, it was not blocked, because Qian Sanniang, Tan Ge'er and others were in the front row, and from time to time they raised their arms and wrists to block arrows, and Uncle Fan and others followed at the end, but they were not afraid of the bows and arrows of the bandits on the opposite side.
However, the bandits on the opposite side howled, and still rushed in a swarm, obviously seeing that there were few people here, and their courage was greatly increased, and they wanted to rush over and meet each other in close combat.
Qian Sanniang shouted: "Prepare for the firecracker, you can see the fight!" ”
With a move of her hand, she aimed at a bandit.
The bandit was armed with a machete, his face was full of flesh, and he was vicious, obviously a professional bandit.
He rushed with a machete, howling, and in the form of an outflanking.
Qian Sanniang pulled the trigger on him, and with a bang, a large stream of smoke erupted with firelight, and the machete in the bandit's hand flew out, and the blood mist soared at the same time when he was shot in the chest.
He fell to the ground with a bang, kicking up a cloud of dust, and then screamed with a heart-rending heart, the pain of being shot that left him in agony.
As soon as Qian Sanniang twisted the winged tiger gun in her hand, she changed the hole of the gun tube, and at this time, the hammer had been pressed down by the retreat rod, and she moved the plate machine again.
A bandit archer, under the cover of a shield, also shot as he walked, and suddenly there was a loud bang, and the shattered shield was raised with bright red blood. The bandit archer was knocked to the ground by the fallen bandit shield bearer at the same time, rolling into a ball.
At this time, Brother Tan and Starling shot the same, and the two of them ran out of three tubes, and together with Qian Sanniang, they achieved the results of eight bullets and six hits.
Several of the bandits who had been shot rolled on the ground, howling and screaming, rolling and spasming desperately, and blood dripping all over the ground.
Although the lead bullet was soft, it was extremely powerful under the impetus of gunpowder, and the pain when it was shot into the body was indescribable.
And the officers and soldiers on the opposite side are so sharp, not to mention that they have firearms, and the firearms in their hands are like birds and three-eyed guns. The three tubes shot continuously, and the dead were the strongest and toughest of them. The bandits who were howling were suffocated, all of them pale, and their arrogance was extinguished.
At this time, he was only a dozen steps away from the bandits, and Qian Sanniang shouted: "Ten thousand enemies! ”
Brother Song and Brother Mao carried the basket on their backs, and immediately took out the fire fold on their waists when they heard the words and shook it up, Brother Tan and Uncle Fan had specially trained, and when they heard the words, they immediately took out a 10,000-strong enemy from each of the two baskets, holding a wooden handle, and lit the fire fold at one end of the lead.
The heavy 10,000 enemy lead in the hands of the two of them sparked chilling sparks.
The two of them threw out fiercely, and threw them in the bandits, some of the bandits howled in terror, and some of them did not know why, but the two 10,000 enemies exploded violently.
The billowing smoke burst out with large and small clouds of blood mist, and the bandits screamed and screamed, many of them crawled and crawled, holding their heads and running around, and the injured people were screaming hoarsely.
Qian Sanniang shouted: "Throw it again!" ”
Two more 10,000 enemies set fire and threw them away, and the bandits cried and screamed, and fled to the temple of Our Lady, and even crowded together at the gatehouse.
Qian Sanniang shouted: "Forward! ”
A group of nine people continued to force in formation under the cover of the shield, and soon, they killed to the gatehouse, Qian Sanniang ordered to throw three waves of 10,000 enemies into it first, and the bandits who fled into the courtyard continued to cry and shout for their mother, and then she ordered: "Kill in!" ”
Soon everyone was in the hospital, filled with the spicy and pungent smell of gunsmoke, mixed with the smell of bloody and burnt nose.
Everywhere were the corpses and wounded who had been killed and injured by the 10,000-strong enemy, and the blood was sandwiched with the stumps of the human body, which was really terrible to watch.
The rest of the bandits were screaming and running around, not knowing what to do.
Qian Sanniang ordered: "Continue to kill, divide into two formations, and prepare to meet in short arms!" ”
Everyone in the courtyard has drawn their handcuffs or weapons, Qian Sanniang is still holding the winged tiger gun to watch, there are quite old trees in the courtyard, but the inside is seriously damaged, and the inscription in the temple collapsed. However, you can see some wine tables in the main hall in front, and it is obvious that bandits from various villages are having dinner here to discuss some major robbery.
was watching, suddenly there was a whoosh, a sound of a strong arrow, Qian Sanniang's left hand blocked one by one, a loud "ding" sound, a heavy arrow shot in the middle of her side card, the arrow hit the hemispherical iron cover, stirred up a large spark and slid away.
Qian Sanniang looked over, and in the side hall on the left, a human head wrapped in a red scarf sneakily flashed behind the wooden plank.
Qian Sanniang raised her winged tiger gun to aim, and she suddenly pulled the board machine at the wooden board.
There was a bang, and in the smoke of gunpowder, I saw a big hole in the siding.
In the splintered sawdust, there was a burst of blood mist.
Then there was the sound of heavy flesh falling to the ground.
