Chapter 263: Mutual Casting 1

Liu Wenxiu returned to the Chinese army in frustration, carrying a corpse behind his horse, but it was a sentry in the old camp. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

He was hit by a shot, and five taels of lead shot penetrated through the horse's head and hit his waist, and his whole body was almost broken.

When I walked to the front of the mountain, I saw that my father-in-law, the Eight Kings, and others were arguing, and their faces were ugly. Seeing him coming, the Eight Kings also glared at him. Liu Wenxiu's heart was worried, and his father-in-law's face obviously blamed him for returning in vain, but fortunately he didn't continue to say anything.

Li Dingguo greeted him and said in a low voice, "Are you okay?" ”

Liu Wenxiu nodded silently, listening to the people on the bag still arguing, and replied to Ma Shouying's voice: "If it's not good to fight, don't fight, our righteous army came out of Shaanxi, how can we not suffer losses?" Fortunately, those who died were all raised in the camp, and the backbone and main force were not lost, so they would go back to Yinghuo Mountain. ”

Liu Xiyao, the king of the reincarnation, and Lin Yangcheng, the king of the troubled times, also said: "The eldest brother is right, some foot soldiers and miscellaneous servants will die when they die." Let's just coerce some hungry people, after a few battles, how much does it take to raise the foot camp, as long as the old camp of the horse team is not lost. ”

There is also the voice of Zuojin Wang He Jin: "Actually, we can ignore the Xiangyong on the mountain, let some horse teams watch, and directly cross the bridge and cross the river to fight Suining County." ”

But his words were refuted by everyone, and the strength of the opposite side was already very clear, and every time he shot three hundred shots, six shots, that is, 1,800 shots.

There are also guards in the northwest of the mountain, on the opposite side of the riverbank, it is estimated that Suining County is not less than 2,000 guns, they also have a horse team, and a large number of foot soldiers, if they take down the mountain, it is difficult to say whether the remaining horse team can be stopped.

Look at the sharpness of these townsmen, and I heard that a tiger and others have also suffered, and it may be difficult to fight in Suining County.

It is not easy to build the bridge, there are few trees and villages and boats here, and it is not easy to build a pontoon bridge, and it may take several days to complete it in the end. As a lesson from the past, I suffered the loss of General Li Xu in Yingzhou, leaving these people behind, and I was busy in front, so I really didn't feel at ease.

If you really want to go north, you have to destroy them.

This is a dilemma.

Zhang Xianzhong suggested using the old method, pretending to abandon the baggage and leaving, taking advantage of their greed to pick up, killing a horse pistol, maybe a big victory.

But Lao Hui objected, these townsmen may not be as ordinary officers and soldiers, and it is better not to beat dogs with meat buns.

One plan after another was proposed, and one by one it was rejected, and the thieves were resentful. If you go north from Hongxian at the beginning, some people say that Suining Township is brave, they will definitely scoff at it, but the facts are in front of them, and everyone can't believe it.

What to do?

The thieves looked at each other, and many people said to leave, and they saw the unwillingness in each other's eyes.

This time the loss was too great, even if he was defeated and retreated from Yingzhou at that time, he also had contacts with his opponent Li Xu, and only at the last moment, he was ambushed by the infantry for the last blow.

However, looking at the battle in front of him, his side suffered heavy casualties, and there were few on the opposite side, and before he could touch the wall, he was beaten down by their platoon.

The opponent is still a village brave, and all the thieves will be revenged, which is really unwilling.

"Actually, I could have done it again."

It was Ge Li who slowly spoke, changing the topic, "Although the brothers are a little damaged, they also find out the reality on the other side. What they rely on is the advantage of firearms, and as long as they block firearms, they will be bullied by tigers. ”

He Jin, the king of Zuojin, immediately said: "To be honest, the Xiangyong on the opposite side are all good soldiers, and the firearms they use are also good guns. ”

Zhang Xianzhong also smiled: "Actually, it's very simple to block the firearms on the opposite side. ”

Liu Xiyao, the king of reincarnation, said with a cruel smile: "Let those who eat dry rice be raised to make meat shields!" ”

Unwillingly, the thieves formed a consensus to fight again, and if they couldn't beat it, they would leave.

On the opposite side, the fire was sharp, and there might be artillery, so they used the guards as meat shields to block the front of the army.

Most of these are hungry people who have fought a few battles, but their physique is weak, and they can't enter the infantry horse team, so they join the fighting team.

They usually carry the burden of carrying grain, digging trenches and laying something, and they are not very distressed when they die.

If you really can't fight and leave, you can save food if you die and raise a group of people.

In peacetime, in the face of the firearms of officers and soldiers, there are hungry civilians and hungry civilians such as Xianying and Gezuo, and the same is true for hungry civilians.

So it was decided that they would attack again and catch up with the men, some of them in the front, and some of them in the crowd, to help the guns and cover the attack of the infantry and horses.

The thieves arranged again, and their battalions marched in four waves, losing one wave, and three waves did not move, but the last time, it changed slightly.

With the second wave of swords and shields in each infantry battalion, the fierce soldiers who use sticks, palladium, and hook and sickle guns are used. The sword and shield hand among the horsemen, the fierce soldiers. He also chose a strong archer who could use a bow of seven or eight forces in his horse steps. About 400 men were selected from each camp to attack the earthen wall defenses.

Each camp also chose three or four hundred men to raise as meat shields, so that the six camps had a total army of four thousand or several hundred.

It's already very crowded, and the depth will be longer than last time, after all, the opposite earthen wall is not long, only three or four hundred steps, and there is no flank behind it to detour.

And because the projectile was useless, the archers who had used five or six bows earlier abandoned them and used strong archers.

There were one or two hundred people in each camp, and nearly a thousand strong archers in the six camps, all of whom followed the army and shot straight at the distance.

In the end, each camp chose 100 elite horsemen, and hid behind the official road opposite each gap, so they had the opportunity to take advantage of it, so they went up the mountain and assaulted the gap.

The rest of the camps are on standby and ready to respond.

Soon they were arranged.

At the same time, all the drama thieves are characters who crisscross the rivers and lakes, how can they not fight back just by being beaten?

They brainstormed how they could fight back when attacking in addition to bows and arrows.

Sun Kewang offered advice, they carried a lot of gunpowder, and the six camps were afraid that there were hundreds of catties, and they were originally preparing to bomb the city. Now when attacking the mountain, you can make your own gunpowder bag, 10,000 enemies, etc., rush to the wall and throw it in.

Or blow up the guns behind the wall, or blow up the shield array of their gaps.

This suggestion immediately opened the minds of the thieves.

They crisscrossed all parts of the Ming Dynasty, bombed many cities, and encountered countless defensive means every time.

Throwing an iron shell from the head of the city is just one kind.

However, in some places, there is a lack of iron-clad 10,000 enemies, and there are all kinds of 10,000 enemies, using clay pots, clay pots, porcelain pots, and so on.

There are even 10,000 enemies in the bamboo basket and basket type, which are stuffed with a large number of crushed stone and iron thistles, and if the confinement is well sealed, the effect will not be worse than that of the iron-shell 10,000 enemies.

You can make these yourself, throw them into the wall, and blow them up to make those brave ghosts cry wolf.

Every time they bomb the city, they also pile up medicine bags, in order to seal it well, they also use silk, and now they want to blow up the opposite Xiangyong, just use the smaller one.

The medicine bag is light and not easy to throw, and it is inconvenient to go down the mountain to the mountain, so it is inconvenient to use a bamboo basket and bamboo basket for the shell, rush into ten steps, and then nearly five or six steps, and basically throw it to the head of the opposite Xiangyong.

Soon the thieves ordered each battalion to raise and produce a large number of 10,000 enemies, all kinds of things, and made two or three hundred.

Each 10,000-strong enemy medicine bag contains at least two catties of gunpowder.

……

Soon the rogues began to attack frantically again.

Their first attack on the mountain was at 3 o'clock in the afternoon (about 11:45), and six rows of guns were fired, and although the battle was fierce and brutal, it was very short.

They were planning a second wave of offensives, arranging their troops, and making all kinds of preparations, but only an hour had passed.

It's just two o'clock in the afternoon, it's still early, and the sun is higher. Under the beating of the fierce war drums, the crowd of people in each battalion was pressed by Kou Hei and forced to the front of the official road. Then the drums turned to a hurry, and they rushed up the hill with all their might.

The special sword and shield bearers desperately drove the men forward, hiding behind them.

All of them were given weapons, knives or spears, and many of them were also armed with rattan tags that were said to be bulletproof.

They were also promised that if they returned alive, they would be rewarded with mounts to become horsemen.

But when the war was before us, was not everyone afraid?

was selected to join the mountain attack team, but no one dared to resist, and they all rushed to the front. They ran wildly, hoping to capture the earthen wall defense early, so that they could survive.

Then the rest of the people were raised, carrying the pedal short ladder, and following the crowd in groups, they were also running desperately.

Behind each group, there was also a gang of thieves and shields.

"Kill!" No more than the previous time, this time the thieves did not stop, they walked to the official road, and under the urging of the rapid war drums, they spread up the mountain, like a tsunami tide rushing up, only to see all kinds of colorful flags in a row, and the mournful shouting of killing shook the four fields.

Especially those in front of them, their eyes were blood-red, they were howling excitedly, and they were running as hard as they could.

After entering the thief camp, it doesn't matter if it is very good or evil, just kill the opposite Xiangyong and he can survive.

With the previous experience, they also knew that the opposite village warrior was fifty paces away, and after entering fifty steps, they needed to rush faster, so that they could reach the front of the earthen wall trench faster. Then, their task of physically resisting the bullets is complete and they can retreat.

Only this time they miscalculated, unlike last time, they had just rushed up the hill from the official road, eighty steps away from the earthen wall, and the opposite side was opened.

With the sharp sound of swans, the opposite side fired one after another, and the rattan cards held in the hands of the guards in front were as difficult to defend themselves, and they were knocked to the ground by rows and rows.

Blood flowed, screams were earth-shattering, the guards howled and charged, and the swords and shields of the battalions in the rear slashed and slashed as hard as they could, desperately driving them forward.

"Death to those who retreat!"

Qiu Shiqing was the leader again, he slashed a man who was afraid to turn back to the ground with a knife, and then stabbed him with an unceremonious big knife.

The guy screamed and cried, Qiu Shiqing showed no mercy, and stabbed down until the guy was motionless.

Blood was sprinkled all over his face, and it was extremely hideous.

Under the expulsion of the thieves from the battalions, the soldiers could only cry forward, charging with muskets, and blocking the bullets on the opposite side with their flesh and blood. Their casualties were also extremely heavy, and when they rushed to the front of the earthen wall for a dozen paces, they were fired in a total of nine rows of guns, and the men who were used as meat shields in front of them were almost completely killed and wounded.

Some of the thieves and shieldmen who had lost their cover were also knocked over, and the hillside went all the way up, only layers of corpses were seen, and blood flowed like streams.

But apparently their tactics were also successful, and they fought to the deaths, but the infantry and horsemen of the battalions did not lose much.

And at this distance, those who carried the short ladder were driven forward again. Many rogue archers also caught up, and some thieves carrying baskets containing various medicine bags and 10,000 enemies had to rush into ten paces and throw.

"Go up!" A dozen paces in front of the earthen wall, the battalions were desperately driven with short ladders and pedals, and before they reached the first trench, they were shot again in a row, and the road was covered with blood mist and corpses.

The rest of the thieves couldn't think about why there were ten rows of gunners on the opposite side, they just howled miserably and rushed forward frantically.

Just put the pedals on the short ladder and they can go back.

Although those who are meat shields are almost dead, there are indeed people who return alive, and this is hope.

"Free Fire!" There was a voice from the other side.

The crowd howled and pounced.

Behind them, there were layers of thieves with swords and shields, archers, and bombardiers carrying baskets.
