Chapter 143: I Hate Not Being Able to Eat Its Flesh Raw
The Yang River arranges positions along the mountains and rivers, and the array resembles an east-west diagonal line. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
One hundred and fifty musketeers were at the outermost part of the array, covering behind the shield carts in two rows, followed by two killer soldiers.
There are two total teams of four people, each team forms a small phalanx, one row of ten people, and one team of five rows. The sword and shield bearers of the inner first armor are at the front, followed by the spearmen of the second and third armors, then the fourth armor is the sword and shield bearers, and the fifth armor is the spearmen, and the four and five armors of each team serve as reserve replacement teams in wartime.
From west to east, from left to right, the phalanx of the killer team is the third and fourth teams of Minister Yang and the third or fourth teams of Han Daxia, with two hundred soldiers.
Of course, on the left side of each general there are also the general standard-bearers, the golden drummer, five guards, and the three main and deputy chiefs standing.
On the left side of each team, there are also three captains and vice-captains of each team, and the flag bearer and flag bearer are standing.
Xin'anzhuang's team is full, with a team of 55 people and a total of 230 people.
This is how the possible main attack on the western copper mountain bandits is arranged.
However, the Yang River is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and although the terrain is superior, there are also several hidden dangers.
From the east is a continuous mountain, and it is impossible for a large group of men and horses to come, but although the north is also a mountain, the slope of the mountain is gentle, and it is still possible to send some small groups of elite troops to attack and attack.
To the south is the river, and the river is also frozen, and the river is only twenty or thirty meters wide, and the bandits are very likely to cross the river, and the brigade of men and horses will attack from the south.
Therefore, to the north and south, the Yang River is also equipped with defenses.
Minister Yang's third team and Han Daxia's fourth team, in addition to protecting the front, should also pay attention to the two wings to prevent the bandits' possible flank attacks.
Three hundred heroes with the army, Yang He also arranged them on the north and south wings, Sheng Santang's baggage team, Cui Lu's grenadier team, as well as the sentinel team and the assault team as reserves, standing at the mountain bag, where to rescue where it is in danger.
Li Jiale's medical team also set up tents behind the mountain pack, broke the ice and boiled water, and prepared to rescue the wounded.
When the Yang River was noisy and arranged, the smoke dragon in the distance was getting closer and closer, followed by many foot bandits, and there were not many people who were black.
Finally, Yang He heard the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, and saw dozens of horsemen parting from the wild grass, with rising smoke and dust, appearing in Yang He's sight.
Yang He looked at the past, the distance was a little far, and he couldn't see the appearance and armament of those bandits, but he felt that they were dressed like the Jiaoshan bandits, most of them wore red tasseled felt hats, winter felt style, and then wore red clothes and thick wool cloaks.
Looking at the way they galloped on horses, their riding skills were quite exquisite, and they were more elite than the Jiaoshan bandit horse team they had seen.
In the distance, there was a cold and murderous aura spreading.
They rushed over, with a terrible scream, and the sound was overwhelming.
It seemed that seeing the appearance of being in battle here, those Tongshan bandit horse teams were quite surprised.
They slowed their pace, and finally stopped two hundred paces away, looking silently at the position.
……
This time, it was Feng Sanyi, the deputy marshal of the guard, who led the Tongshan bandits.
Li Qingshan was marshal of the seal, and there were three or four marshals and deputy marshals in the Tongshan Village, but three of the marshals were transferred away some time ago, and only the fourth deputy marshal Feng Sanyi remained in the cottage.
Feng Sanyi was naturally furious, leaving two hundred bandits and dozens of old battalions to stay behind, and the rest poured out, vowing to give the Xin'anzhuang thief who didn't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the sky a little color.
Their horse team galloped fast, far ahead of the infantry team, and soon not far from the Xin'anzhuang position.
However, he was quite surprised when he saw the appearance of the other side waiting for him, and ordered to stop two hundred paces away.
At this time, he was more on the horse, looking at the opposite probe.
Feng Sanyi is a rough and man-looking man, his appearance seems to be very grinning, he is wearing a red brocade robe, but the outside is covered with a jacket and cloak of wool and various wool accumulations, nondescript, and then wears winter felt, and the back of his hand is wrapped with layers of cotton cloth to protect against the cold.
However, although he was poorly dressed, his burly figure was only steady on the horse, holding the reins in his hand, and the cold wind of hunting and hunting hit, he didn't seem to feel the slightest chill, showing the elite of the old bandits.
There were a few leader-like people beside him, all wrapped like zongzi, many of them were still snorting, and in the cold weather, everyone's upper and lower lips were covered with white flowers, and some even had a thick layer of frost on their eyebrows.
However, they are also steadfast on their horses, and they are obviously used to the cold and freezing wild life.
In his demeanor, he is full of ferocity and anger, the same old bandits.
A thin middle-aged man rode a horse next to Feng Sanyi, with a face full of wrinkles, wrapped in a thick red cloth turban, and a thick red cloak on the outside.
He stood silently, looking out on his horse, with a hint of gloom and hatred in his eyes.
This middle-aged man is the Zhang Wanzhang family of the original Jiao Cottage, and the four brothers of their Zhang family, after being beaten by Yang He, he is the only one left.
Later, even the old nest of Jiaoshanzhuang was breached, and when he was defeated, there were only three horse thieves left, and then hundreds of remnant bandits.
It's just that after arriving at Tongshanzhai, hundreds of remnant bandit subordinates were all pulled away as cannon fodder, and only three horse thieves were left behind him.
There is almost only Commander Guang Pole, and this account will naturally be counted on Yang He's head.
I hope that this time I can get it back with interest.
Then among this group of elite copper mountain bandits and horse thieves, there were also seven rough men, unlike other copper mountain bandits and horse thieves who carried bows, arrows, knives and guns, but they all held breech thunderbolts.
But it was the "Pingshan Seven Wolves" who assassinated Yang He, the deserter of Ludi Pingshanwei, and the two bearded men wrapped in gray turbans and dirty gray cloaks were the Zhou brothers led by the "Pingshan Seven Wolves".
They looked at each other with blank expressions.
Dozens of horseback bandits stood quietly and solemnly, all looking at the opposite side, and the white gas spewed out by the people and horses was thick.
"Mother's legs."
Feng Sanyi, the deputy marshal of Tongshanzhai, looked around for a while, he slapped his thigh, and scolded: "This Xin'anzhuang really has two brushes, and this military formation is more rigorous than the officers and soldiers I have seen, no wonder it can break the Jiaoshan Villa." ”
The leaders of all sizes beside him also showed a cautious expression, they had never eaten pork, they had seen pigs run, they had been bandits all the year round, and they knew how to look at the arts.
Zhang Wanzhang's face became even more gloomy, and he said quietly: "That Yang boy can set up this formation, it is indeed not simple, the elite is better than ordinary state and county officers and soldiers." In particular, they had a string of shield carts in front of them, except that their spearmen could fight according to the carts, for fear that there were firearms hidden behind the shield carts. ”
Feng Sanyi frowned and said, "Firearms? This really needs to be sentified, lest the brothers eat the guns without knowing it. ”
He has a rough appearance, a big grin, in fact, he is quite cautious and delicate, there are several deputy marshals in Tongshanzhai, only he stays to guard the cottage, not without reason.
And not only him, but all the big and small leaders around him spoke out in approval, agreeing with Marshal Feng's cautious and spicy approach.
As bandits and bandits, the most important thing for each of us is to know ourselves and our opponents, so that we can "bully the weak and fear the hard." Just like the battle of the left, "the officers and men will lie in ambush when there are many officers and soldiers, and if there are few, they will meet the enemy." The search for mountains and clear fields highlights the suburbs, and the plains are lined up and the danger is deep. ”
They have never fought wars that are not beneficial, they attach great importance to intelligence, and they will fight if they can fight, and they will run away if they can't.
Although in the 14th year of Chongzhen, the balance of strength between officers and soldiers and rogues is slowly changing, but this kind of thinking is still deeply imprinted in the hearts of all rogues and bandits.
This time, for the sake of the reputation and majesty of the copper cottage, they sent troops to the field, but it does not mean that they are not careful.
Thinking of this, Feng Sanyi shouted a few orders, let the sentry ride out of the column, and the sentry scouted the military formation opposite, especially to see if there was a firearm hand from Xin'anzhuang behind the shield car.
The power of firearms Feng Sanyi and others all understand, as a remnant of the bandit Zhang Wan's family is even more unforgettable, it is certain that there are firearms on the opposite side, Zhang Wan said many times before departure, Xin'anzhuang has at least fifty excellent bird guns, and even a few marksmen.
Of course, they knew about Han Lan's assassination by the marksman, although Pizhou pushed it on their heads, but Feng Sanyi and the others were very happy, and it was that kid from Xin'anzhuang who did it.
Therefore, they were all cautious and cautious, wanting to confirm whether there were Xin'anzhuang's firearms behind the shield car, so that they could discuss how to deal with it.
Otherwise, dozens of bird guns will hit, and the brothers in the village are afraid that there will be many casualties.
……
Yang He has been paying close attention to the movement on the opposite side, looking at the Tongshan bandit horse team on the opposite side to discuss for a while, and after a few shouts, four or five horsemen came out of the ranks.
With a heavy hoof sound, they stepped on the frosty grass and rushed closer, as if intent on snooping in front of the shield cart to the west.
In addition to these four or five horsemen, there were also three or four horsemen among the bandits, and after running a few laps, they rode their horses south, slowly stepping across the river full of ice, and went around to the south of the river, and went there to spy on the position of Xin'anzhuang.
Pei Pochuan, who was galloping outside the western formation, hurriedly greeted him, but he was alone against four or five people, and he seemed weak.
Four or five horseback bandits screamed, and with a lot of smoke and dust, they pounced on him viciously.
Listening to the noise of their hooves and the unbridled galloping strange screams, Yang He's face was not very good, and he thought: "I still have to have a horse team." ”
After Minister Yang and Han Daxia finished the battle, they asked their respective deputy generals to stay in the position and sit in the town, and they also came to Yang He's side to listen to the order and stand by, seeing the arrogant appearance of the bandits, Minister Yang hated it, and Han Daxia showed a look of shame.
Hu Employment and Zeng Youyu stood next to Yang He, also touching their faces and noses.
Zeng Youyu no longer smiled, his expression was stiff, and Hu Cheng muttered: "Ri Nen Guan." ”
Somewhat embarrassed to avoid everyone's attention.
Their sentry team, including Han Daxia, Hu Chengcheng, Zeng Youyu, and Pei Pochuan, has a total of ten scouts, but only Pei Pochuan can be used as a horse sentry.
The rest of the night was not collected, even Hu Employment and Zeng Youyu were sparse in riding, staying on the mountain bag at this time, they all watched the bandits riding arrogantly outside, and watched Pei Pochuan chase the bandits alone, which was indeed a little cold.
"It's hateful that my old Dou can't do archery."
On the south side of the army formation, on the north bank of the river, there were many people gathered densely along the edge of the mountain, and at least 200 of the 300 good men who accompanied the army were arranged here.
They did as commanded by the baggage team, with the sword and shield men in the front, the spearmen in the back, and the archers in the last.
But because the terrain here is higher than the opposite side, and the archers are mostly standing on the hillside, it does not affect the line of sight, and the situation on the opposite bank can also be seen clearly.
More than 20 members of Dou Wentao's team were arranged here, and their archers stood on the hillside, watching three or four Tongshan bandits appear on the other side of the river, constantly screaming at the horses, and rushing into a hundred steps from time to time to snoop.
A few horsemen, treating hundreds of people on their side as if they were nothing, all the heroes scolded non-stop, and many archers kept shooting arrows at them.
It's a pity that it's too far away, and it's too difficult to shoot at a moving target on a galloping horse.
More than seventy archers shot many arrows, all of which were missed, Dou Wentao also shot two arrows, his seven-force bow could reach far, but he couldn't shoot the galloping horse bandit target.
Seeing that the bandits were called Mercedes-Benz, they were helpless and couldn't help but feel resentful in their hearts.
He stared at the galloping horse bandits, and his eyes seemed to burst into flames.
He wasn't worried that the bandits would cross the river, because the distance would be closer, and the ice would be too slippery, and the horses would fall on the slippery ice and become good targets for his archers.
just watched the bandits be arrogant, and the resentment in his heart went straight to the clouds.
He said to Sun Li, who was silent beside him: "Brother Li, are you sure to shoot those bandits with an arrow?" ”
Sun Li held the eight-force bow in his hand, with a loose heavy arrow on it, he stared at it for a while, and shook his head: "Seventy steps away, I can't grasp it!" ”
Some archers can wear Yang in 100 steps, but this "Yang" is a stationary target that really wants to shoot at a moving target, and a 100-step archer who wears Yang may not necessarily shoot a horse target that runs wild at 70 or 80 paces, and the difference between activity and inactivity is too great.
Dou Wentao gritted his teeth and was about to speak, when suddenly a burst of cheers broke out from the west of the military formation, and some soldiers shouted: "Pei Ye is mighty." ”
He hurriedly looked, but saw that in the open space to the west, Pei Pochuan of Xin'an Zhuang Pei Ye was one against five, and he did not show weakness, and suddenly he hid in a kick, avoiding an arrow shot from behind him, and then his body appeared on horseback flexibly.
Then he bent his bow and arrows, and on the galloping horse, he turned back sharply at the moment when the horse's four legs were in the air.
A horse thief a dozen paces away screamed, and was actually hit by an arrow in the door, and rolled off the saddle horse with such a scream.
"Whoosh!"
In the rush of hooves, Pei Pochuan turned around and slammed an arrow.
Twenty paces away, another horse thief was caught in the heart of an arrow, screaming and rolling off his horse.
"Sigh the law ......"
The remaining three horse thieves were shocked, and they all pulled their horses hard, and did not dare to chase them anymore.
With the attitude of a victor, Pei Pochuan captured the two war horses that had lost their masters, dismounted and cut off the head of a horse bandit, and just like that, they were bloodily picked on the spear, showing in the sight of both the enemy and us.
"Mighty ......"
The Xin'anzhuang position was thunderous, and Dou Wentao also clenched his fists and howled loudly: "Pei Ye is mighty...... Pei Ye is mighty......"
Dou Qing accompanied the people in the boiling Champa Collection, and also felt the pride and glory of the battlefield, his face turned red, and he clenched his fists fiercely.
In the midst of the shouts, the four-horse bandits on the south bank of the river were a little stunned and stopped unconsciously.
Suddenly, Sun Li's eyes froze, and he filled the eight-force bow in his hand.
"Whoosh!"
Sun Li let go of the bowstring, and a heavy arrow shot like lightning.
With a "poof", a thief on a horse seventy paces away was shot into his mouth by this arrow, and then the arrow came out of his brain, and he didn't even scream, just fell off his horse in a daze.
"Good!"
Dou Wentao was stunned for a moment, and then clenched his fists and howled: "Liye is mighty!" Liye is mighty......"
The south side of the position was quiet at first, and then it was also jubilant, and all the heroes and honors were excitedly clenched their fists and shouted, chanting Sun Li's name.
Dou Wentao smiled and kept arching his hands around: "We occupy the city...... The ...... of Champongji"
……
There was also laughter on the mountain bag, Minister Yang yelled, and Yang He was full of smiles.
Although the outpost cannot change the general trend, it can very much improve morale, and he secretly made up his mind to develop more horse teams in the future.
On the south side, he also noticed that there were indeed heroes in the villages of the army, and it seemed that they had no problem defending across the glacier.
He looked at the bandits facing the west, who had already lost three of their horsemen, and wondered if they would send more sentry riders.
Sure enough, Pei Pochuan was unable to support himself, and Yang He instructed the sharpshooters on the mountain bag to pay attention, and if the bandits came, they would shoot several horsemen and kill chickens and monkeys.
Guan Feng and Hu Yansheng responded loudly, and they each squatted behind a stone on the top of the mountain, and "Kakaka" pulled the hammer of the flint in their hands to the maximum position to be fired.
……
Feng Sanyi's face became ugly, and the surrounding Tongshan bandit horse team was also in a commotion.
There is a sentry on the opposite side that is very sharp, and he can immediately open his bow left and right, and his own horse sentry loses two, and the rest dare not approach.
Soon the news came again, and the horse whistle that crossed the river sentinel also lost one man, and the whole horse team lost three.
This is a heavy loss, the horse team is the core of their cottage, and the dozens of horsemen left behind are his backbone henchmen of Feng Sanyi.
The loss of one will make him feel pain in his heart and lungs.
Looking at the Xin'anzhuang horse sentry more than a hundred steps away, Feng Sanyi hesitated to send more people up, but fortunately, he brought back important information to the few horsemen of the sentry on the south side of the river.
"Mother's legs, I saw it, they have two rows of people squatting behind the shield cart."
"I also saw that there were people squatting behind the shield cart, all holding bird guns......"
This is clear, the thief in Xin'anzhuang really had a firearm behind the shield car.
But after a hurried glance, and far away, the few horsemen who went south did not count the number of firearms in Xin'anzhuang, and only saw someone behind the shield cart on horseback.
"At least fifty birdshots."
Zhang Wanzhang said with a gloomy face.
Feng Sanyi frowned and pondered, and finally said coldly: "If there are two rows of people, each of them has a gun, it is a hundred strokes." ”
The leaders of the horse teams around him all showed uneasy expressions, there were too many birds in Xin'anzhuang, if the brothers rushed forward......
The battle between Jiaoshanzhuang and Xin'anzhuang, they all knew about it afterwards, and the Xiucai who came out of nowhere knew how to fight the art of war, and even knew how to fight the platoon.
Jiaoshanzhuang's brothers suffered heavy casualties under their platoon.
Just leave it at that?
Sure enough, most of them have already gone with the army, and they are like Jiaoshanzhuang, and they are beaten to the door by the enemy who is far inferior to their numbers, I am afraid that Tongshanzhai will lose face, and can no longer command the heroes of this village.
Feng Sanyi pondered deeply, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Mother's leg, don't you die?" ”
……
Yang He saw that the Tongshan bandits on the opposite side had gathered, and a large area of noise was gathered, and there seemed to be a few big flags, on which the words "Li" and "Feng" were fluttering.
He looked at and estimated that the number of bandits in Tongshan should be about 1,340, and sure enough, they came out of the nest, as long as they defeated them in the field and took the cottage, it was just a logical thing.
Seeing them arranging their troops noisily, Yang He's mood was relaxed, his own troops were at a disadvantage, and there were only 800 heroes in each village.
But he was all elite and strong, and there were one hundred and fifty full-breech guns that appeared for the first time in this world behind the shield cart, which would definitely make the bandits suffer heavy losses.
He even had the heart to teach his subordinates, and Ce Zai immediately instructed: "Arrange troops, the most ideal terrain is to have mountains and rivers." There are mountains, which can give full play to the strengths of the terrain and overlook the opponent from afar. If you have a river, you don't have to worry about not having a water source. In the future, when you fight, you must also pay attention to the terrain, and you must give full play to our advantages, and if you can kill with firearms, don't fight with swords, shields, and spears! ”
Zhang Songtao and Chen Qiuao fell into deep thought, and Minister Yang wondered: "Xianggong, why is the new Angong only arranged in the west?" The south side should also be arranged. ”
Yang Hedao: "Our division still has few firearms, so we should judge which side to concentrate the most firepower and give the thief the most damage." It's impossible to do everything on the battlefield, and sometimes you have to make a decision! Generally speaking, it is better to cut off one finger than to hurt ten fingers. ”
Han Daxia said in a deep voice: "Even so, it can't all rely on firearms, it's okay to fight bandits now, and ...... will encounter a large number of rogues in the future."
Speaking of this, he looked a little dazed, quickly woke up, and continued: "If you encounter a Tartar, they are like the wind, they should fight, they still have to fight. ”
Yang He smiled: "Yes, that's the reason." ”
He looked to the opposite side, the Tongshan bandits seemed to be arranged, the soldiers and horses were divided into two parts, nearly a thousand people to deal with the west side of the army formation, and the rest seemed to plan to bypass the river and deal with the south side of the army formation, but it seemed that they did not intend to attack from the north.
Their old battalion was estimated at more than 300 men, and the archers were more than 200, most of whom were arranged to the west, and the rest seemed to be intending to attack the south of the army.
Then the horses are always in the back.
Sure enough, they are old bandits, and the leaders are basically routs and deserters, and they are not lacking in military experience, so they have no problem with this arrangement.
Looking at their style, they also plan to wave in waves, ordinary bandits rush in front, and old bandits in the back, rushing from beginning to end.
I am afraid that this momentum will intimidate many ordinary officers and soldiers, and then face themselves.
Yang He snorted coldly, just fight a good battle here, and after the fight, the surrounding bandits will flee when they hear their reputation.
His face suddenly sank, and he shouted, "Get ready for battle!" ”
He commanded: "Minister Yang, you lead the firearms team in battle. Han Daxia, you lead the killer team to fight, and you all obey the orders of the Chinese army! ”
Minister Yang and Han Daxia flicked the scarlet cloak behind them, and they all solemnly responded: "Subordinates receive orders!" ”
……
Minister Yang and Han Daxia Jia Ye clanged down the mountain bag, Minister Yang came to the shield car, his general flag stood behind the shield car, the sound of hunting in the cold wind, a stout veteran stood with a flag, next to a golden drummer, with a foot drum hanging on his chest, and a gong on his back.
The five guards were holding swords and shields to protect them, and the deputy commanders, Han Guan'er and Yang Qian, were standing next to them, holding the same swords and shields, and the masks on their faces were all removed.
Seeing Minister Yang, Han Guan'er and Yang Qian hugged their fists, Minister Yang waved his hand with great momentum, and learned Yang He's appearance, but the words he said leaked his connotation a little: "Provocation, this time we must kill those bandits, let them cry and go back to find their mothers!" ”
Han Guan'er and Mr. Yang Qian's young faces were eager to try, and Mr. Yang Qian smiled even more: "Let them eat guns!" ”
Minister Yang looked out from behind the shield car, and the bandits were coming two hundred paces away.
Looking at the Tongshan bandits, it is really extraordinary, they may be ordinary bandits walking in front, but they all have red tasseled felt hats or red hats, thick jackets on their bodies, thick cloaks on the outside, and basically sword and shield short axes in their hands.
When walking, it is full of ferocity and anger.
Sure enough, he is a professional bandit, and he has been promoted to the existence of quasi-rogue bandits.
It seems that these people have a hand in hand-to-hand combat, and in terms of equipment, they are also better than the bandits they have seen before.
And then behind, there were many archers of the Copper Mountain bandits.
Minister Yang snorted, thinking about Xin'anzhuang's usual training, and roared: "The soldiers are ready to fight, and they are all lit with fire ropes!" ”
Han Guan'er, as the first deputy general and part-time general officer, also shouted the order: "Prepare for battle, light the arquebus!" ”
Then Luo Xianjue, Dong Shicai, and Ma Xiang, the captains of the first and second general firearms teams, also shouted the order: "Prepare for battle, light the arquebus!" ”
"Whew" the sound of a fire fold flickering.
Before departure, the sub-medicine of each soldier was loaded with one round and stuffed in the chamber, usually within three or four days, and there was no problem with reloading in advance.
Of course, if it takes too long, the pre-filled gunpowder may harden.
At this time, they were neatly squatted in two rows, and when the one hundred and fifty firecrackers heard this, they took out the fire fold around their waists and lit the fire rope on the dragon's head.
A piece of fire rope sizzled and burned, and the smell of urine and gunpowder spread.
Then everyone lit the fire rope, the length is better, and after trying to be the fire door nest, everyone will move the plug on the dragon head down and press it, and squeeze the fire rope tightly.
In this way, it will be launched, and no matter how strong the impact of gunpowder is, it will not cause the fire rope to impact backwards and break away.
There was a busy work behind the shield cart, and some of the recruits looked a little nervous, but fortunately, the bandits were still far away, and they also had the inertia of training, even firing five rounds a day with live ammunition.
Soon, therefore, one hundred and fifty musketeers lit their arquebuses.
The officers of each team were inspected one by one according to the usual training standards, and Minister Yang was not at ease, so he also went to check it himself, and finally nodded with satisfaction.
He looked at the opposite side, the Tongshan bandits were still coming in a hurry, and the closer they were, some of them could be seen with hideous appearances.
He gave another order: "Push the shooting window open." ”
Another shout of officers repeated the order, and with a squeak, the two rows of gunners crouching behind each shield cart pushed open their hanging windows.
They pushed open the thick baffle on the outside of the shield cart, and the two brackets slowly pushed the baffle forward and upward, pushing it to the largest opening, and they fixed the brackets in the grooves on both sides.
It reveals a very good sight shooting window.
And because he was just squatting and pushed the baffle open, it seemed that it was difficult to detect the movement on the side of the shield car from a distance.
"Aim for it!"
Two rows of gunners, immediately squatting in front of the first hanging window of each shield car, the new guns in their hands poked out of the shooting window, from the window, watching the enemy's movements.
The second row was at the back of the first row, and they all crouched on the right handlebar, poking out some of the new guns in their hands, and also aimed at the bandits in front of them from the second hanging window.
Pole by rod firearms poked out, and they were one tall and one short, slightly left and slightly right.
Suddenly, there are black and heavy guns, and the black and pressed mouths symbolize the power of death.
The men crouched silently, they aimed, waiting for the order to shoot.
Minister Yang also repeated over and over again: "Listen to orders, and fight again when there is an order!" If you don't have an order, even if you hit, you will be killed! ”
……
To the west of the military formation, the Tongshan bandits were surging forward in a noisy manner, and there were nearly 1,000 people.
Among the ordinary bandits of various shapes, there were also some old thieves, and they shouted and agitated as they marched: "Niang has a leg, there are some bird guns on the opposite side, but don't be afraid...... It took fifty paces for the bird to strike accurately, and when we reached seventy paces, we rushed desperately, and rushed to the end of a dozen breaths, overturned their shield carts, and rushed in to chop melons and vegetables...... Let those mud legs know that Xuzhou and Pizhou are the world of our copper cottage heroes, and if you want to turn the sky upside down, there is no royal law! ”
The surrounding bandits responded one after another: "Yes, Zhuang Ding, a farmer with tofu slag, scattered as soon as he rushed, and wanted to turn the sky upside down, so he wanted to ask me if the knife in my hand would agree." ”
"Listen to the donkey master, and then rush desperately, rush over and hack them to death!"
"Life and death are fateful, wealth is up to the sky, the head has a big scar on the bowl, grandma has a foot, I came out to run the rivers and lakes, when was I afraid of birds?"
"Yes, how miserable is it to want my brother to eat in my native country? Now that they are in the gang, they drink wine in a big bowl, eat meat, and play with a white and tender little lady...... In this fairy day, I won't do it for the emperor, and I will be a bandit in my next life! ”
The bandits howled and pressed towards the Xin'anzhuang position with pride.
Among them was a lean and sturdy man, covered with a thick woollen cloak and warm winter felt, with a heavy shield in one hand and a short axe in the other, and a sly look in his eyes.
He is one of the leaders of Tongshanzhai, Sun Youdonkey, known as "Donkey Master", he constantly works hard to agitate, arousing the enthusiasm of the bandits.
Soon, they had taken a hundred steps, and Sun Youdonkey raised his eyes to look, but the opposite side was still quiet.
Those Xin'an Zhuang Ding were so calm, which made him a little surprised, and his heart was a little drumming.
In fact, the "donkey master" had fought against officers and soldiers, and those people had already beaten their firearms to the ground a hundred paces away, and they could not hit a few people at all.
After the fight, he also rushed up, after all, the reloading of the bird gun was extremely slow, the slow one took one hundred and twenty breaths, and the fast one cost nearly a hundred breaths.
When they got closer, the daylilies were cold.
"This formation is not easy to fight."
Sun Youdonkey was silent and judged, he quietly slowed down his pace, while still agitating loudly in his mouth.
After walking more than a dozen steps, the "Donkey Master" seemed to see that the shield cart in front of him had some windows, and the baffle blocked them, but the weeds were undulating, and those windows were too low, and Sun Youdonkey didn't care.
At this time, there was an order from behind, and everyone stopped, and then among the archers who followed behind, an old thief who was good at shooting came up.
He stretched out his bow and arrows, gestured at the opposite side for a while, and then walked out, one right leg tensed tightly, and slowly pulled the bow full.
He jerked loose of the bowstring.
"Whoosh!"
The arrows flew into the air and fell far towards the Xin'anzhuang position.
Behind the shield car, Minister Yang held a shield in one hand and a big stick in the other, he saw the light arrow falling from a high altitude, and finally stuck on the grass a foot away from him, the arrow feathers were still trembling lightly, and he couldn't help but be inexplicable: "What are you doing, this is?" ”
Mr. Yang Qian was also inexplicable, and Han Guan'er was thoughtful.
On the mountain bag, Yang He's eyes froze, the Tongshan bandits were really different, and they would shoot at school.
Sun Youdonkey also raised his eyes to see the arrow falling, he didn't understand the meaning of the test shooting, but he also knew that if he shot this arrow in advance, the arrow rain in their copper cottage would be sharper.
Many times when you are in a fight, you shoot your opponent to the ground.
He also knew that the time for the charge was coming, and he howled bitterly at the moment: "Brothers, cutting off people's money is like killing our parents, and the thieves in Xin'anzhuang want to cut off our financial routes, that is, our mothers, can we bear it?" ”
The bandits roared, "No! ”
Sun Youdonkey roared: "Kill them all, no chickens and dogs will be left!" ”
Nearly 1,000 Tongshan bandits are howling: "Kill, kill, kill, chickens and dogs are not left!" ”
At this time, the big drum behind was also beaten, and the sound of "dong dong dong" shook people's hearts.
"Kill!"
With the sound of drums, nearly a thousand copper mountain bandits howled and rushed towards the Xin'anzhuang shield car position.
They run faster and faster, quickly moving from a step per second to a brisk pace of four or five meters per second, and may eventually charge.
Sun Youdonkey was stunned slightly, and when everyone rushed out, he carried the short axe and screamed for impact.
At this moment, he heard the bowstrings vibrating behind him, and then the sound of a whistling sound, and the sky darkened, and a hundred or so light arrows swept through the sky, making the sound of a breeze blowing through the trees.
Before the arrow fell, there was another ringing of bowstrings, and then there was a burst of bowstrings, which seemed to ring into a ring.
The sky seemed to be covered in arrows.
……
"Hold on, wait for the order to open again!"
Minister Yang roared, the shield in his left hand had already been inserted with several arrows, and arrows were still falling in the air.
What a copper mountain bandit, this arrow shot so densely, like a torrential rain, and the target was also very high, his shield kept "tuk-tuk" sound.
There are also shields on the carts, and the sound of "tuk tuk" is constant, and on the wooden baffle, dense arrows are only inserted like hedgehogs.
There is also a team of killers in the rear, all of whom are also raising round shields, and occasionally there is a muffled snort, but there is an unlucky egg who has been hit by an arrow.
Fortunately, the arrow is not a vital part, and the Tongshan bandit is only thrown, the power of this light arrow is not strong, and the arrow will not be very fatal.
Yang Qian always watched a little nervously as the bandits roared and rushed towards him, getting closer and closer, and Han Guan'er also quickly counted his steps: "A hundred steps...... Ninety steps...... Eighty steps...... Seventy steps...... Sixty steps ......"
The bandits roared, rushing closer and closer, the two rows of soldiers behind the shield car were still waiting quietly, they had a thick shield car cover, the copper mountain bandits' arrow rain was helpless against them, but the black pressure of the bandits pounced, that kind of heavy pressure, so that everyone was cold and hot.
They waited silently, and many of them had green tendons in their hands, and some even bit blood from their lower lipes.
But they remember the military order, and they can't fire the gun without the order, otherwise they will be killed!
So they just waited quietly.
Wait for the order to open the gun!
……
"Kill!"
Sun Youdonkey had a hideous face, howled and charged, and soon, the black and suppressed bandits rushed into fifty steps.
That's when it happened.
Suddenly, a shrill swan sound sounded on the mountain bag.
"First row, put!"
Minister Yang's ensuing roar was drowned out in the deafening sound of the gun.
Sun Youdonkey seemed to see a series of fires burst out from the middle and lower parts of the shield cart opposite, and then a large puff of thick white smoke erupted, and then the white smoke became a piece, as if a wall of smoke was filled outside the shield cart.
With Xin'anzhuang's new gunpowder, even if it is a breech gun, it has a muzzle velocity of nearly 300 meters per second, a distance of fifty steps, that is, sixty meters, and it hits the human body in a fifth of a second.
Around the front of Sun Youdonkey, a large number of people fell down with a brush, and the lead bullet hit the human body, instantly forming a terrible cavity effect, the projectile rolled, shattered, and rampaged in the body, forming an amazing traumatic surface, and finally the blood in the internal organs turned into a blood rain from the wound.
Sun Youdonkey felt a hole in the left side of his flying cloak, and then in front of him, on his right side, there was the sound of heavy flesh falling to the ground, an old bandit, a slave thief, all rolling on the ground and howling fiercely.
Especially the old bandit covered his stomach, and his intestines were beaten out.
He cried, hoarse, unable to cry, and stretched out a helpless hand to Sun Youdonkey.
This old bandit Sun is known to a donkey, and he is also a good man in the village, with repeated wounds on his body, and he is often slashed a few times and doesn't care, but at this time he was hit by lead bullets, but he was in pain.
Looking at him and listening to the inhuman screams around him, Sun Youdonkey's mind was blank, and for the first time, he felt that firearms were so sharp and ferocious.
"Drain."
The word flashed through his head.
However, before he came back to his senses, there was another sharp swan sound on the opposite mountain.
And then there was a salvo of death......
"Sigh the law ......"
Feng Sanyi, the deputy marshal of Tongshanzhai, was almost so shocked that he fell off his horse, the ferocity of the firearms on the opposite side was beyond his expectations, especially the power of the salvo, which was the first time he had seen it in his old life, these two rows of guns were a dozen, and he was afraid that more than 100 brothers would be mourned, right?
And the number of birds on the opposite side was also beyond his expectations, not only a hundred, but at least one hundred and fifty shots, where did the young talent on the opposite side have the ability to have so many firearms? And is it such a sophisticated firearm?
The leaders around him were also wide-eyed in shock, this kind of volley, even if they faced countless officers and soldiers, they had never seen it.
I'm afraid that only the legendary Qi family army will have this kind of discipline power, right?
How is a mere village trained?
Zhang Wanzhang's face was even more gloomy, and he saw it again, and he saw it.
Yang River thief, I hate not to eat his flesh raw!
Suddenly, Deputy Marshal Feng Sanyi shouted: "Okay, they have fought two rows of birds, and they have reloaded at least sixty breaths, just now, rush forward!" The old battalions are rushing up! The horse team rushed up with me! ”
In the stunned state of Zhang Wanzhang's family, Deputy Marshal Feng had already made a decision, and as soon as he stepped down his horse, he rushed towards the opposite army like a whirlwind.
"Kill it!"
The horse thieves screamed wildly, and in the rumbling hooves, dozens of horsemen in the general line galloped up with him.
"Whoa—"
Behind the shield car, the first row of firearms men had already loaded the cartridges and were quietly squatting on standby.
After the second row of firearms shoots, they are all copper bolts that are bent down after being bore, and in a loud and neat metal crisp sound, everyone's copper bolts are opened, revealing a black muzzle, and smoke is rising inside, and there is a trace of heat.
Then they quickly took out a cartridge of ammunition from their satchels and stuffed it into the muzzle.
They all pushed the copper bolt, and in the crisp sound, the front end of the copper bolt was put into the muzzle, and the rest of the copper cap was outside.
Press it again, and there was a neat sound, and everyone's copper bolt machine was stuck in the hardwood hollow.
The rustling of primers poured into the fire door nest sounded.
The firearms men in the second row, with their guns still resting on the shooting window, crouched on the handlebars, looked at the crosshairs through the door, and quietly aimed ahead.
One hundred and fifty breech arquebusiers, continued to wait for orders. (To be continued.) )
