Chapter 69: Fighting Back
But people are not as good as heaven, if they encountered such a scene in the past, Huang Long, Ma Lang and others may have fled, but this time is different from the past. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Because the siege of the city was not smooth, Huang Long and Ma Lang had their men loot a few women from good families from the countryside that night, and they began to **** after dark.
When the official army raided the barracks, Huang Long and the others were having fun, and when the small leader of his cronies saw that the momentum was not right, he couldn't get up at all.
Finally got up, dressed neatly and prepared to flee, when he saw a radius of four or five miles of fire, full of panicked people, Huang Long was about to retreat, but the second sentry Yang San led his troops to arrive.
Pointing to the battlefield with thick smoke and flames, Yang San, the second sentinel, thought that although the official army had succeeded in the sneak attack, the chaos was mostly ordinary homeless people, and most of them were cannon fodder troops, and the personal soldiers in the hands of the major leaders had limited losses.
Second whistle Yang San comforted: "Second master, don't panic, big things can still be done." Second, I have already found out clearly, this raid on us was Yang Xuan, the acting magistrate of Yilong County, and his more than 1,000 men. ”
Pointing to the burning battlefield, Huang Long shook his head and said: "Although there are more than 10,000 people in our army, many of them are rabble, and the real fighters are only two percent.
Besides, when they were suddenly attacked by a sneak attack, everyone panicked, and they all wanted to run for their lives, so how could they fight? How can you fight? ”
Yang San, the second sentinel, looked disappreciative, pointed to the stubborn and well-prepared personal soldiers on his side, and said loudly: "The second master, having said that, but now that the Great Western Army has occupied Chengdu City, Yang Xuan led the remnants of the army to defeat and return to Pengzhou, although Yang Xuan is brave and good at fighting, they do not have any reinforcements.
Besides, this time the officers and soldiers set fires, and the most serious losses were those displaced people, that is, those cannon fodder units that had just been formed to harass the other side.
And our Chinese army battalion is well defended, and the other side has not penetrated it, so it can be said that our main force is intact.
Second, the number of your own soldiers under your command has reached 1,000, which is completely worthy of a war.
Even if the battle is unfavorable, the big boss is now leading tens of thousands of troops to garrison Bazhou, as long as we hold on for a few days, when the time comes, the big boss will lead his troops to come to help, so the enemy will be defeated. ”
Although Huang Long also knew that the losses of his own troops were limited, he still wanted to retreat under the pretext that everyone was panicking.
Although Huang Long was unwilling to stick to it, he still had to talk about Yang San.
Yang San is the forward of the Thirteen Huang families, not only strong, but also quite prestigious in the various ministries, if he flees in a hurry like this, he is not only worried that Yang San will sue him at that time, but also worried that his status as the second leader will not be guaranteed.
In ancient times, whether it was white or black, the second child was in an embarrassing position, and the boss was most wary of the second one.
Huang Long pointed at the burning battlefield with the reins of his horse, covered his mouth with his hand to prevent the smoke from blowing into his mouth, and said angrily: "Now it's a mess, everyone is in a mess, how can you hold on?" ”
Yang San pointed to the back mountain and said: "The second master, this Yilong County is surrounded by rivers on both sides, if you want to retreat, you must cross the Jialing River, it is now July, the river is soaring, and it is even more difficult to cross the Jialing River."
When the time comes, the official army will pursue all the way, and it will be difficult for us to cross the Jialing River.
If you are in charge, it is better to stay, or there is still a chance. ”
Huang Long hesitated, and it was difficult to decide for a moment.
At this time, Yang Xuan led two large teams of men to kill.
Yang San commanded the various troops of the earth tyrants to retreat to the hillside, and on the other hand, led the troops and horses to defend.
As mentioned above, the strength of the local tyrants is composed of the personal soldiers led by the leaders of each department, accounting for 2 percent of the total strength, the general soldiers, accounting for about 3 or 4 percent, and the general followers of the displaced people, accounting for about 4 or 5 percent.
The command of the second post Yang No. 3 was about fifteen or six hundred, although the morale was low and one by one panicked, most of them were not affected by the fire attack, and their personal soldiers were even better equipped, and their strength was far from being comparable to that of ordinary rabble.
On the other hand, there were only more than 300 officers and soldiers, and although they won successive battles and the morale of the squadrons was like a rainbow, everyone fought fiercely for half an hour, and some of them were even smoked by the smoke to tears.
As soon as the battle began, the officers and soldiers of the various killers in the front and the squadron of muskets in the rear, lined up in three rows, and fired at the local rioters one after another.
The sound of guns and cannons made the opponent tremble, and the dense arrows and crossbows made the opponent unable to raise his head.
However, taking advantage of this opportunity, Huang Long, Yang San and others led the main force of the territorial tyrants to withdraw to a few small hills in the back mountains, standing on the hills to have a clear view of the battlefield.
Not only must they disperse the displaced people and ordinary troops of various departments, but also attack the location of the local tyrant camp, and the weak troops are weak and the weak points of the personnel are at a glance.
Seeing that the officers and soldiers wanted to capture the mountain in one go, they came to the hill in batches.
Huang Long and Yang San glanced at each other, jumped on their horses, and led their subordinates to kill.
The two sides fought together, although the officers and soldiers were well-equipped and fought quite bravely, but the local rioters were outnumbered, especially under the counterattack led by Huang Long, Yang San and others, the morale of each unit was slightly restored.
The killers who rushed to the front were invincible and retreated one after another, and Yang Xuan, who was standing behind the formation, was also terrified, standing in front of the formation and constantly directing the musketeers to fire.
After a row of muskets, a large number of the local rioters in front fell, and the desperate charge behind regardless of casualties, fortunately, the officers and soldiers used three shots, and the rifles fired one after another, so that the local rioters were slightly repulsed, instead of being broken by the local rioters.
This can make Yang Xuan secretly frightened, in the face of the night attack of Liang Si's department of the Heavenly Star that day, Yang Xuan used the six-stage attack to continuously fire the opponent so that the opponent could not raise his head, dispersed the opponent, and finally won the victory on the battlefield.
Then I thought about it, the local rioters failed to fully assemble that day, and after fighting for a period of time, Liang Si, the star of the sky, was shot and killed, and finally it was difficult to organize an effective formation.
But today is completely different, compared to the elite soldiers and horses, although the Tu Rioters are still a rabble, but this time it is an organized attack, although the power of the platoon guns can frighten the opponent, but such a slow firing process can not stop the crowd from swarming up.
Even in World War II, when mankind was very developed, armies equipped with semi-automatic rifles could not effectively deter the rushing crowd, except for the continuous and frantic strafing of heavy machine guns that could stop the charging crowd.
However, after finding out the reality of the official army, under the leadership of Huang Long and Yang San, the official army launched wave after wave of counterattacks, and finally under the cover of the cavalry of Ma Chaosuo, most of them retreated to the big tent of the Chinese army of the local tyrants, relying on the surrounding fortifications to resist stubbornly.
This is the outcome that everyone did not expect, I thought that if the sneak attack was successful, the local tyrants would inevitably fall apart, and I didn't expect to fight for a long time, and the main thing that was destroyed was the homeless people who followed the local tyrants, and the cannon fodder troops of the local tyrants.
The main force of the Turkish rioters still exists, and now they are launching a counterattack, and the situation on the entire battlefield has taken a sharp turn and fallen into a crisis.
