Chapter 7: Brawls

The whole team of Guoxinga ran with all their strength, and even the previous few wounded people supported each other and hurried. The pursuers behind did not have a significant tendency to accelerate, but they were holding from a distance, following Guo Xing'a and his party.

Guo Xing'a was once again impressed by the magic of the Eight Banners' disciples, and when Guo Xing'a gave the order to attack before, there was not even a person to convey the order. One-third of people are in a state of intermittent cerebral thrombosis when facing the enemy. This time, Goxinga issued the order to retreat and run away, and the order quickly reached everyone's ears, and all the staff resolutely carried it out, and the degree of transmission and implementation was comparable to that of a modern army.

After running for a while, the ranks began to gradually disconnect, and Acton also warned Gohinga of signs of enemy outflanking on the right flank. Seeing that the enemy was outflanking from the right flank, Goxinga led the people to turn and open the way to the left.

Before starting to run, Goxinga had already asked Saishana about the direction of the team, which was southwest of the team. It's just that if you run stupidly straight, the distance of fourteen or fifteen miles is very tolerant of being outflanked by the enemy, and then blocking the way back, and being dumpled by the enemy. So Goxinga ordered everyone to follow him and run south first.

When the enemy outflanks him, he has two options, left or right. It's like when a person makes a sudden turn without preparation, he habitually turns to the right. When the enemy chooses the direction of outflanking, he may also habitually choose to outflank from the right flank, that is, to the east. At this time, Guo Xing'a led the team to turn left and south, and it happened to run in the direction of Zuo Ling's own team, and successfully left both enemies behind.

Although he succeeded in making the enemy go around in a circle, he only ran less than three miles, and Goxinga's team was completely disjointed. The front team of Feng Sheng'a has distanced itself from the back team of Goxing Abon and Acton, and almost all of them are slowing down significantly.

The people of Guoxinga had been running around all day in order to find Guoxinga. This morning, since departure, it has also been on the march. At the lunch break, I experienced another fierce battle, and I was already exhausted. Fengsheng's front team, which was a merger of the previous Xishou team and the Changlu team, did not participate in the previous battle, and his physical strength was slightly better. The Goxing Aben team, which carried the wounded, and the Acton team, the main force that fought before, were obviously physically exhausted.

After barely holding out for another three miles, Acton's rear team could no longer run. The injured players of the Goxing Aben team have been left behind and integrated into Acton's back team. There were only five or six miles left, but Goxinga already knew that his team would not be able to hold out any longer. After running another two miles, everyone can only sit on the ground and wait for the enemy to come up and harvest the heads. Surrender is impossible, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom does not accept the surrender of the bannermen. Adhering to the dead demons is the basic principle of a good demons. Wherever the Heavenly Kingdom goes, all the inner cities will be slaughtered. The Han army can still repent and go to heaven. Flag Man! I'm sorry, but the gates of heaven will never be opened for the bannermen. See you in hell!

Although Feng Sheng'a's front team was still able to hold out, the outflanked enemy had also appeared on the flank. The Fengsheng A team is definitely not comparable to the Taiping Army in terms of speed, after the destruction of this team. The small combat power of the Fengsheng A team is by no means enough to support its escape.

"Fifth master, you can't do it. Let Hatan and Changlu keep you going first! My old race took the men and sons to the fifth master! When the fifth master returns to the camp, he will bring someone to save us! "Saizan Allah followed Hatan and Changlu to find Goxinga.

Saishan'a gave himself an idea for the second time, and he let himself throw away the team and run away, which made Guoxinga, who had a heroic dream, very unhappy. However, Saishan'a always thought about the act of saving Guo Xing'a's life, but Guo Xing'a was extremely moved. The people left by the cheap dad to himself are loyal!

Looking up at the surrounding situation, the team was exhausted, and it was indeed impossible to continue running. If you run any further, you can only end up in a dead end. It is necessary to maintain physical strength to ensure the last stand. There is a small courtyard on the side of the road ahead, although it is dilapidated, but it can also be used as a barrier for the last stand.

"Everyone, enter the courtyard in front and wait for help!" Guo Xing'a hurriedly commanded everyone to enter the small courtyard to settle down.

The courtyard is small and dilapidated. The houses must have been destroyed by the war, and only some ruins and brick and earth walls remain. There is no shop in front of the village in front of the small courtyard, and it may have been a big car shop or a roadside tea shed before. Everyone broke into the small courtyard, and several people in the back team of Acton sat directly on the ground. Guo Xing'a didn't have time to take care of them, so he hurriedly commanded the people of Fengsheng's front team, who had good physical strength, to erect some door panels, beams and wood as simple fortifications.

"Hi Shou!" Guo Xing'a searched around the crowd before finding Xishou in the corner and hurriedly calling him over.

"Hey, Fifth Master!" Xishou reluctantly walked out of the crowd and came to Guoxing'a, and didn't forget to salute Guoxing'a.

"Take my knife, you immediately go back to Zuo to lead the team for help, and bring someone to save us!" Guo Xing, who really didn't have any tokens, took off the Yanling knife and handed it to Xishou.

"Huh!" Xishou was overjoyed, he never expected that Guoxinga would be able to send Mei who fled for help to him. It's hard to say whether you can get reinforcements, but after Guoxing'a and the team are broken, the chance of a person escaping for his life can be more than eighty percent.

"You can't fight, you are definitely an expert at running for your life! Give me all your ability to escape and live, and the lives of my brethren and mine are all staked on you! From the reaction of Xishou to the cerebral thrombosis in the battle at noon, Guo Xinga concluded that Xishou was definitely a guy who was greedy for life and afraid of death. And when he ran away, Xishou actually ran from Guoxing's main team to Fengsheng's front team, and he was still full of physical strength. When he entered the small courtyard, he was able to quickly conceal his body, and even Guo Xing'a had a hard time finding him. It shows that this person is extremely afraid of death, and he has abundant physical strength, he runs faster than a rabbit, and he also has a certain experience in hiding his body. Under the pressure of death, Xishou is definitely the fastest and most coquettish one among the people at the moment. The difficult brother Changlu who did not choose Xishou was because Changlu's physical strength was not as good as Xishou, and he kept moving with the team. And after entering the hospital, he stood stupidly and had no hidden consciousness at all.

"Hey, don't worry, Fifth Master!" was given a heavy responsibility, and the joy of being able to survive was also a little enthusiastic. He nodded solemnly. didn't say much, and bowed to Guo Xing'a. Like a thief, he jumped out of the yard over the wall lightly, and ran in the direction of the leader's station like a dog and a rabbit.

"The rabbits are all his grandsons!" Looking at the back of Xishou running away, Changlu sighed sincerely.

"Fifth Master, we have a total of one foreign gun for you, one handgun for Sai Ye, two strong bows for Feng Ye and Chang Ye, and five bows for a few bannermen. The others didn't expect to take on the battle because they came out to look for you, and they brought more equipment such as waist knives and axes. Actun checked the equipment that everyone had with him, and reported it to Goxinga according to the classification of long-range and short-range weapons required by Goxinga.

"The bow is not the same?" Goxinga was a little puzzled by Acton's special emphasis on the strong bows of Fengsheng Ah and Changlu.

"Huh! Feng Ye and Chang Ye used five strong bows, and most of the bannermen had two strong bows. Acton explained.

Guoxing's historical knowledge is limited, and I don't know that according to the ancestral system, the banner people have to hang their arms and open a strong bow since they were young. Take strength as a unit and practice from an early age. One strength is added one by one, and the strength is about thirty pounds. The bow of Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty has a pulling force of about 200 catties, and the bow of ordinary soldiers also has more than 100 catties. The so-called shooting heavy arrows with a strong bow, Zhang Xianzhong and many other historical celebrities were shot to death by the Manchus with strong bows and heavy arrows. However, the living immortals of the late Qing Dynasty could not compare with the robber leaders of the early Qing Dynasty. In the early Qing Dynasty, the robbers made a living by fishing and hunting, shooting all year round. The white mountains and black waters exercised their strong physique, and the highest ethnic group among the yellow people gave them an extra-long arm span and a great motivation to rob the Ming Dynasty. According to legend, individual perverts among the white-armored soldiers can pull twenty strong super strong bows. The children of the Eight Banners in the late Qing Dynasty have long lost the survival pressure of shooting and hunting, and the ancestral system has completely become the ancestral system. Feng Sheng Ah and Changlu, who can pull five strong bows, are already considered to be among the best.

Cezanne's flintlock handcuff is also close and useful, and the rate of fire is slow. Five toy bows with less than 60 pounds of pulling force are not much worse, but the rate of fire is acceptable. The only ones that can really be used as long-range strikes are Goxinga's rifle and two strong bows. The others could only fight hand-to-hand in close combat, and Guo Xinga gritted his teeth and began to think about the way to fight.

Acton would also use the handcuffs, and Goxinga transferred the handcuffs of Sezana to Acton to use. Feng Sheng'a and Changlu took a few archers and followed themselves on the front line of defense. Sezanne, Hatan, and Acton led the crowd around the courtyard to guard against enemy attacks. But if the enemy really rushes up, everyone has no formation to speak of, so they have to fight desperately.

Blue Silk had already led people around the back of Guoxing'a and the others, and Red Silk also commanded his subordinates to press on three sides, and together with Blue Silk, they surrounded Guoxing's small courtyard on all sides. However, it may not be known that there will be rescue in Guoxing'a, or for other reasons, the Taiping army did not rush to attack. About 300 meters away from the small courtyard, a sparse formation was formed, and the small courtyard was surrounded on all sides. Several small groups of forwards were dispatched, entering the small courtyard for about a hundred meters, and tentatively approaching the small courtyard.

Guo Xing'a had the intention to knock out a few of the Taiping army's forwards first, delay the enemy's attack, and buy time for the reinforcements of his team. But the ammunition reserves were too shabby, and six rounds had been knocked out before, leaving only about two dozen rounds. After thinking about it, let's keep it and snipe the enemy commanders!

"Can you on that guy?" Feng Sheng'a was not around in the position of arranging a few shooters, and Guo Xing'a could only ask Changlu beside him.

"Huh!" Changlu didn't say anything superfluous, Ma Bu stabilized his figure, stretched his bow and set up an arrow, and shot an arrow. Then he quickly leaned down against the courtyard wall, while sticking his head out to observe the results.

Guo Xing'a also looked at the result nervously, and at the same time felt that Changlu's horse steps when he opened the bow were a little funny. However, although the posture is not very graceful, the result is good. About eighty meters, an arrow hit the target's throat. The Manchurian heavy arrow is indeed worthy of its name, and the body of the middle arrow was almost pushed to the ground by the force of the feather arrow.

"Good!" Guo Xing'a had to re-evaluate Changlu, this guy looked a little wooden and a little silly slippery. The battle performance at noon is almost the same as that of the rabbit's relative, Kishou. But now it seems that he may have been waiting for an order at that time. Or maybe he's an archer and can't do melee combat. That's why I've been watching from afar, waiting for an opportunity to play on the periphery.

Feng Sheng'a also tried to release an arrow, but the other party was already on guard. And Feng Sheng'a doesn't seem to be good at bows and arrows, although his strength is not weaker than Changlu's, but his accuracy is much worse and he doesn't hit the target.

Guo Xing'a knew that he couldn't let the other party get any closer, and with a distance of fifty or sixty meters, he could rush to the front in more than ten seconds with all his strength. However, Goxinga still patiently found the commander of the striker, raised his rifle and aimed at him. At first, Guo Xing'a tried to snipe Red Silk directly, solve the opponent's command center at once, and decapitate him. However, the red silk has been stopped three hundred meters away, even with a modern rifle, Guo Xing'a does not dare to guarantee that he will be on target, let alone a * rifle with huge recoil. He could only retreat to the second, aimed at the forward commander of about 100 meters, adjusted his breathing, and gently pulled the trigger.

The forward of the small group does not seem to be the assault squad of the Taiping Army. did not storm the defense line of the small courtyard after the commander was shot, and used hand-to-hand combat to open the gap. Instead, it quickly retreated. Before Goxinga could rejoice that he had repelled the enemy and had a chance to breathe. The foreign gunners of the Taiping army have all gathered on the opposite side of Guoxinga. At a distance of about 15 meters, it was a volley of guns that cut the head and covered the face.

Being shot by bullets for the first time, Goxinga truly experienced what it was like to be in a trench. Lying under the courtyard wall, the bullets above his head whizzed by, making a roaring sound. From time to time, bullets hit the courtyard wall, making "poof" and "pop" sounds. The "pop" sound is that the bullet hits the exposed soil layer outside the courtyard wall, and the "pop" sound hits the wall brick. The Grim Reaper kept walking by, and Goxinga's mind went blank, clutching the rifle in his arms tightly, as if he could find a sense of safety. From time to time, dust falls, sticky and uncomfortable on the face, it should be that the face is already covered with sweat. Guo Xinga felt very cold, his body kept shaking, and the muscles of his calves kept twitching. I want to control myself and suppress the fear in my heart, but it's as uncomfortable as if my heart is being pulled by someone, and I can't break free. It wasn't until it seemed that someone opened a certain pass and the pants got wet that it was much easier.

"Ahh Yes! ………… Yes! "An unlucky flag man in the courtyard was hit in the thigh by a stray bullet and howled desperately. I couldn't say a whole sentence, just a hoarse "ah, ah".

"It's all against the wall! Lean against the wall! Goxing, who was wet with his pants, roared.

Everyone hurriedly hid behind the wall and hidden, and a few frightened stupid, as well as the unlucky guy who was shot, were also swept into the corner by Hatan.

Before chasing Goxinga, Red Silk met the remnants of the defeated army who were defeated by Goxinga at noon, and knew that there was a sharpshooter in the Goxinga team who specialized in fighting generals. That's why he didn't dare to attack in a hurry, but sent a squad of forwards to lure the enemy, in order to lure Goxinga out. After Changlu shot one person before, the squad forward continued to move forward just to wait for the Qing army's foreign gunners. After Goxinga opened fire, he immediately exposed himself. Red Silk immediately arranged for the long-prepared foreign gun team to attack Guoxinga with intensive firepower. Try to use the numerical advantage to defeat the opponent's sharpshooters first, and then launch a general attack.

The Taiping army had 40 foreign gunners, lined up in a line, and continued to shoot with guns. Although the marksmanship is not good, it either hits the wall or flies into the sky. However, the density of firepower is large, and Guo Xing'a, who is enough to suppress, can't raise his head. Moreover, the foreign gunners of the Taiping Army, while shooting, kept moving forward in the whole platoon. Almost every round of the platoon of guns will advance three to five meters. Although the time between reloads is not short, it gives the impression that the firepower is getting stronger and stronger.

"Throw, hold down Lao Tzu, don't let them come up!" Feng Sheng Ah saw that the Taiping Army's foreign guns were pressing in, and hurriedly ordered to return fire.

Several archers, throwing themselves from behind the earthen wall, began to return fire. But in addition to the arrows shot by Feng Sheng's own strong bow, the arrows of several archers were fluttering, and they fell to the ground before flying less than fifty meters. Feng Sheng's arrows alone have almost no effect on the foreign spear team of forty people. It didn't make any sense other than that he himself had eaten a mouthful of dust from a bullet in his face.

Changlu did not shoot, but pinched the gap in the reloading of the Taiping Army's foreign gun team. The long body leaned out of the fence and chose to shoot horizontally.

"Don't die!" Guo Xing flew to knock Changlu down, forgetting that a few minutes ago, Changlu was still a greedy person who was afraid of death that he despised.

"Fifth Master!" After Changlu opened the bow, before he could release the arrow, he was knocked down by Guoxing Atuan. The arrows that flew out of his hands were completely inaccurate, and they were seven or eight meters off.

"It's not time for a life for a life!" Guo Xing'a, who was wet with his pants, pushed Changlu away.

"Huh!" Changlu looked at Guo Xing'a, nodded heavily, and lowered his body again.

"This is the friendship of men on the battlefield!" There was such a sentence in Goxinga's heart. Changlu looked at himself with a little deep eyes, and he couldn't tell if it was gratitude or what.

Goxinga lay on the ground, laid the rifle flat, and began to load the rifle with difficulty under the rain of bullets. Pulled out the whole strip, and after a few stabs, it could not be compacted, and the gun body always slided. A pair of hands suddenly helped*, a pair of eyes that were a little shy, a little innocent looking at Guo Xing'a.

"Fuquan!"

"Huh! The minions have always been there! Fuquan smiled even more shyly.

"Why don't you hide behind you!" Those who did not have long-range weapons were all arranged by Guo Xing'a to prepare for hand-to-hand combat in the courtyard.

"Where the master is, the slave should be there!" Fuquan's tone was firm.

"Hold on!" Guo Xing'a also smiled.

Fu Quan held it tightly*, and Guo Xing'a compacted the bullet. Pull the gun back in front of you, but you don't know who to aim at again. The enemy is commanding too far, and now is not the time to fight for character. And judging from the situation of rushing through a day and a half, big and small five battles, his character is very problematic. The foreign gun team has 40 people, not counting the opponent's return fire. Even if the gun hits, how long will it take to kill forty pigs? What's more critical is that you don't have enough ammunition for yourself.

"Kill the long hair!" With the noisy shouts of killing, the Taiping army on the blue silk side in the rear was in chaos first.

Before Guo Xing'a and the others got up to check, the red silk team was also in chaos. A large number of Qing troops wearing tasseled hats and uniforms rushed over.

Ye Guo once hated this military uniform immensely, because it brought China either killing or humiliation. But at this moment, Guo Xing'a feels that this dress is extremely kind, and the life-saving person is coming!

Goxinga, who got up to observe the battlefield and was ready to organize his team to participate in the battle or join the brigade, was speechless again.

"Who said that the war scenes of the director of costume dramas are all made up and filmed casually, real Nima is realistic!"

The Qing and Taiping armies of the brigade completely lost their formation. As if hooligans were fighting, a scuffle broke out in the east and west. You have me, I have you. On the battlefield, swords, axes, chopping spears, swords, stabbing sticks, sweeping foreign guns, so much so that they smoke their mouths, bite their ears, and have all kinds of virtues.

What command, what tactics, what coordination, fuck it! Roll up your sleeves and do it! Guoxinga searched for a long time, but did not find the commander of the Qing army there. And the Taiping army seems to have been pulled down by the Qing army. When attacking Guoxing'a just now, there was a degree of advance and retreat, and the Taiping army divided the troops to outflank, the squad to probe, the platoon to advance, and the various tactics were used together. Like the Qing army, it degenerated to the level of hooligans and group beatings. Even the supreme commander of the Taiping Army, Red Silk, went down in person, fighting back and forth with a cloak and a big knife.

"Is this war? It's a brawl! ”
