Guo Xing'a had calmed down a lot when he came down from the roof, but he was still worried. According to the development of history, the Anglo-French alliance will defeat nearly four times the Qing army by virtue of its * and advanced combat methods. However, the Anglo-French army was well-trained, and the assistant leader of Goxinga could only be regarded as taking shape. The Anglo-French forces had a large number of advanced artillery pieces for interdictive fire, while Goshinga did not have any long-range firearms. The most crucial point is that the Anglo-French army is 8,000 against 30,000, and Goxinga is 300 against 1,000. In the middle of the nineteenth century, weapons were still relatively primitive, and the firepower output of individual soldiers was still very small. 8,000 Anglo-French troops against 30,000 Qing troops can win, 800 Anglo-French troops against 3,000 may be evenly divided, 80 against 300 is very dangerous, and 8 against 30 is estimated to be dead. After all, you can only fire two or three shots at most in a minute, and only when there are many people can you form a density of fire to separate the enemy and fight slowly. If there are fewer people, it is estimated that you can only kill two and earn one.

The problem of Guoxinga is that there is no huge firepower base, once the enemy interrupts the continuation of Guoxing's firepower with a huge numerical advantage, the result of hand-to-hand combat can be imagined, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's will to fight is much stronger than that of the Qing army.

"My lord, I'm afraid there are more than 800 bandits, our cavalry goes out to fight, can we test the reality of the bandits?" Mu Shun didn't know when he also arrived at the defense line at the entrance of the village, and saw that Guo Xing'a frowned, afraid that Guo Xing'a would blame him for leaving the team without authorization, so he hurriedly moved forward.

"Forget it, if the enemy doesn't move, I won't move, wait and see!" Sixty cavalry went to attack a thousand people, and Guoxing Ake was not so naïve.

Everyone was a little worried about the large number of bandits, and gathered around Guo Xing'a to accompany Guo Xing'a's sad face. But everyone did not mention breaking through or asking for help from the Jiangnan camp, and everyone had the experience of being attacked and fleeing, and they all felt that it was better to stay safe than to be chased and killed. Second, the Jiangnan battalion is really disappointing, last time the commander was almost wiped out and there was no reinforcement from the Jiangnan battalion, this time there is no need to do more, with them or without them are the same.

"Mu Daxia, don't be idle with the cavalry, I will transfer a company and two platoons to the front as a reserve in a while, and hand it over to the cavalry to patrol around to prevent the enemy's sneak attack!" Guo Xing'a also knew that it was unlikely that the enemy would be alone and just frontal, but the enemies in front of him were all gathered in front of the village entrance, and it was better to be more stable in the hands of more people.

"Huh! Rest assured! Mu Shun knew that he was going to be driven back again.

"When you find the enemy sneak attack, delay the enemy's attack and notify us in time, and when you are unable to fight the enemy, you must move closer to your own team, and don't fall in love with the battle!" Goxinga can't be pulled like in the game.

"Fuquan gave more than three orders, and after handing over the inspection task with the cavalry, he first went to the small temple to meet with the miscellaneous team, and built a second-line fortification with the small temple and the surrounding courtyard as the main body." Guo Xing'a was thinking about the plan after the outer earthen wall was lost, after all, from the current point of view, if the enemy besieged it from all sides, the loss of the earthen wall and the first-line trenches was almost a foregone conclusion.

"Huh!" After receiving the order, Fuquan and Mu Shun walked to the village together.

"Be on guard! Enemy attack! "The two companies and four rows of expensive broken gongs have a worse voice than a ghost's scream.

The bandits outside the village gathered a team of nearly 300 people and began to approach the earthen wall defense line in a chaotic manner. Looking at the approaching enemy, Guo Xing'a's heart suddenly rose to his throat. The enemy's position was very scattered, but the pace was firm and powerful, with the momentum of the Red Shirts approaching the enemy in the wilderness. Moreover, the scattered formation has a kind of law that Guo Xinga can't understand, there is no standard-bearer or halberd sergeant to regulate the queue, but the people in the outer circle will always consciously move closer to the center of the team.

"Alternate firing preparations from one to four platoons!" The front-line troops are still under the command of Feng Sheng'a, and at present, the fastest rate of fire equipped with foreign guns can only reach two to three rounds per minute, and in order to ensure the continuation of firepower, they can only shoot alternately in platoon units.

"Hatan! Wait for my order, ready to provide short-range fire support for the second company at any time! "Originally, thirty meters before the enemy entered the position, Hata's platoon should have entered the trench to support the second company in close combat, but Goxinga was still worried that Hatan would rush out in advance.

The enemy army has approached within 200 meters, and it can be seen that they are dressed in tatters, and their weapons are very rudimentary, such as spears, waist knives, farm tools, and even kitchen knives. There didn't seem to be a long-range weapon such as bows, arrows, muskets, or a formation according to weapons, and a group of people rushed over in a chaotic but imposing manner. Nearly two hundred meters apart, Guo Xing'a could never see the enemy's face clearly, but he seemed to see the enemy's fanatical gaze. Perhaps this is something that is indescribable, and Goxinga can almost feel the frenzy of his opponent as if he is about to rush over and eat him.

"Hit one hundred and fifteen meters, don't give them a chance to come up!" Guoxinga, who really couldn't distinguish between the distance units of foot battles, used military training to forcibly popularize metric units in the ranks.

"Huh! A platoon is ready to shoot! Feng Sheng'a held a waist knife in his right hand and a single-shot handcuff in his left hand.

"Shoot in a row!" The enemy's advance had already approached within one hundred and fifty meters, and Acton roared and pulled the trigger.

"Second Platoon Shooting!" Acton finished shooting and began to reload, and Tong Jia quickly made up for it.

"Three rows of shooting!" Nash progresses in turn.

"Shoot in four rows!" Degui's voice is still very ugly.

After more than 100 foreign guns were fired continuously, a large amount of white smoke filled the earthen wall defense line, and Guo Xing'a and others could not observe the situation on the battlefield. Acton did not order his troops to continue firing, as the smoke had cleared from the earlier shooting, and Acton saw a change in the situation on the battlefield.

The headquarters of the second company did not have the same accurate marksmanship as the sniper squad, but the group target of more than 300 people was still easy to hit. As the gunfire continued to ring, blood-red waves bloomed in the front of the enemy ranks. And the rhythm of the alternating rows is just after the first batch of unlucky enemies of the enemy fell. One hundred lead bullets harvested more than 70 lives, and some unlucky people were shot several times at the same time. The enemy's already scattered array completely collapsed, like a flock of frightened sheep, wailing and fleeing to the rear.

Looking at the fleeing enemy, Goxinga's heart returned to his stomach. However, there was also a moment of astonishment, how could such a weak team have the breathtaking momentum that it approached just now. Is it really just that I was too nervous and triggered the fear in my heart?

"Hahaha! The mantis arm is not enough when the car is not enough! Fengsheng's heart was settled, and he admired Guoxing'a even more to the ground. Regardless of the power of the musket for the time being, the leader before the training, in the face of so many bandits, even if there is artillery, he will definitely not be able to fight such a fruitful battle.

"One wave will throw down more than a hundred or so people, and ten times will kill them all!" Xiande, Guiwu and others also stabilized their minds.

"Send an order to Mu Shun to ask the cavalry to strengthen patrols and strictly prevent sneak attacks!" Guoxing Ake is not as optimistic as Xiande and others, such waves come to send him to death, and the other party is not a fool who kills himself.

Less than 200 of the enemy fled back, and in addition to more than 70 corpses, about 20 were rolling and howling on the ground. Only four or five of them were seriously wounded from lead bullets, and most of the others were only splashed with blood. Because of the cavity effect, when a bullet penetrates the human body, it often goes into an eye and comes out with a hole, especially for primitive lead bullets. The lead bullet not only took the life of the person who was shot, but also left a huge wound on his body.

The man who walked in the front was shot, and the man who walked behind him, if he was lucky but of bad character, dodged the piercing lead bullet, but was splashed with blood and guts and shattered bones. The complex composition of blood splattered all over the face, and the world turned a blood-red color, and the skulls of his companions were lifted away, leaving only a bloody face, which was enough to make people feel like they were in hell. So they wailed and vented the fear in their hearts, because there were no serious external injuries, and the wails were even more neutral.

"Let's settle those pigs!" Feng Sheng's Ah was obviously upset by the noise.

"Keep them and mess with the hearts of the enemy!" As soon as the words came out, Guo Xing'a was deeply disgusted with his coldness.

"Your Excellency, let them howl, and see that the one who is not afraid of death dares to step forward! Send someone to keep an eye on it, stop howling for a while, go up and make up for it again, don't let them stop! "Guiwu's psychology doesn't seem to be very healthy.

Except for the wounded soldiers wailing on the battlefield, everything was quiet again. The flagmen clenched the foreign guns in their hands, waiting for the next attack. After the bandits had gathered the defeated troops, there was no movement.

"Brother Chengtai, I hit one just now!" Guo Xing'a changed the way of remembering merit, this kind of kill can no longer be credited, but Ta Er, who killed the enemy with a foreign gun for the first time, is still very excited.

"I hit one too!" Chengtai was also excited.

"After you finish fighting the bandits, you go and ask, all of them are hit!" Tuha was in a good mood and joked with his subordinates.

"Squad leader, this bandit is too unscrupulous, I still want to shoot two more shots!" Ta Er was very angry that the bandits' combat power was low.

"You try it before you train for the whole thing! It's still the battle style of Lord Salead! "Tuha is not a man who likes to slap his beard.

"Of course, my lord is amazing! Squad leader, when will this battle be over, let's rush out and beat the bandits away! Ta Er felt that the bandits were vulnerable.

"Don't talk nonsense, just listen to orders!" Chengtai is older after all.

"Lord Zuo Ling has his own tricks, so you can follow and kill the bandits, and wait for the reward!" Tuha looked at the bandits in the distance.

Erlian has its own Fengsheng Ah to greet, Guoxing Ah doesn't have to worry too much. Seeing that the enemy's offensive had stopped, Goxinga began to move around the village. The attack is frustrated, and the enemy will no longer be stupid and hard to gnaw at the frontal line. The defense in other directions made Guo Xing's brows twisted again. In addition to the natural topography of shrub thorns, there are only a few horse rejections and traps. Although there are also earthen wall trenches, the defensive conditions alone are better than the frontal defense line, but there is a shortage of manpower! If Goxinga had four infantry companies, he would naturally be able to defend in all directions, but unfortunately he only had one. Once one point is broken, the earthen wall defense line will be completely lost. Arrayed in the field, Guo Xing'a didn't think about it, but he still didn't know the bottom in his heart. Fortunately, the second platoon of Duo San has already built a second line of defense with Xishou's miscellaneous team. Although the conditions were limited, the supplies were concentrated, several trenches were dug and several bunkers were built.

Guo Xing'a is not afraid of being blocked in a small temple, there is a well in the temple, and he has tens of thousands of catties*, enough for a month's food. The leader of the defense line has been narrowed and has enough firepower to defend. Just like the Boxers beating the legations, the result of taking human lives to reload bullets will only be quite a tragic tragedy.

The bandits were having a meeting, and all the leaders were present, Cao Meng and He Huan were naturally on the list, and Wu Xiuming, as the chief physician, was also fortunate to participate. The big boss and a few old bandits were chattering and arguing above, and the three of them also had their own small meetings in a low voice.

In the afternoon of the day Cao Meng became the small leader, the bandits found their next target, a small village not far away. By observing the cooking smoke in the village, the bandits judged that there must be several wealthy families in the village. Because if it is a deserted village, there must be no cooking smoke, and if there is cooking smoke in a poor village, it will inevitably be thin. And the smoke here is dense and concentrated, which fully shows that the owner of the cooking smoke has a large population. Because Guo Xing'a looked an eyesore, he didn't let the leader set up the flag on the grounds of concealing his whereabouts. The bandits never dreamed that there was not a single common man in their favorite village, and some of them were nearly 300 officers and soldiers.

That night, Cao Meng was dragged by He Huan to make a meritorious start, and with a few capable minions, the group quietly moved along the path, trying to touch the village. This is also a common trick used by bandits, a small group of people quietly enter the village, find out the situation and then set the fire, taking advantage of the panic to press on the large group of people. After that, there was a big killing, a big robbery, and a happy rape and plunder. Generally, the strong guards in the village are not hacked to death by powerful bandits, and they are people who know the times. It was not the first time He Huan had done this job, he had lit beacon fires in three villages, in exchange for rich rewards and the trust of the big boss.

However, this time, before the two of them approached the entrance of the village with their minions, they were greeted by foreign guns. As is customary, the bandits moved closer to the leader, and as a result, five people were killed by three shots. After hurriedly withdrawing a distance, Cao Meng suggested withdrawing, but He Huan still didn't give up. He Huan felt that it was normal for the rich man in the village to have a few muskets in this troubled time, but he was panicked just now, and if he had rushed directly to it, he would have killed him in the village a long time ago.

The two argued for a while, and finally came up with a compromise plan. He Huan took more than 20 of his own people, first quietly took a closer look at the situation, and Cao Meng led people to answer in the back. As a result, everyone finally watched the fireworks once when they were not in the New Year, and He Huan exchanged the lives of eighteen minions for the answer that the other party had a lot of muskets. He Huan, who picked up a life, picked up Cao Meng and fled back to the camp like a rabbit.

Instead of being angry, the big boss who was rewarded was excited. There were dozens of muskets, which showed that there must be rich people in the village. The bandits who want to survive in the troubled times are not afraid of muskets, and they have the experience of defeating the musket formations of the Green Battalion to escape. As long as you are willing to give up dozens of lives, dozens of muskets are no big deal. And the bandits don't care about human life, they have hungry people.

So in the morning, the big leader gathered two hundred hungry people and one hundred minions, and described the food and drink after entering the village, and launched a one-way charge. He Huan and Cao Meng also participated in the battle again, but the two who were a little shadowy led people to the end of the team. The other two small leaders laughed at the two of them, laughing at them for not knowing the benefits they could get by entering the village first. The big boss also gathered a brigade, fantasizing about the delicate rich lady, fantasizing about the gold and silver treasures, and waiting for the moment to enter the village.

Another rapid gunshot rang out, Cao Meng and He Huan quickly retreated back the same way, but the two little leaders who were still laughing at them just now did not come back. The big boss who didn't realize his fantasy was disappointed, but the bandits had a fine tradition of never getting discouraged. The big boss and the old bandits have been discussing all morning, preparing the next attack plan, and the more difficult it is, the more it is worth fighting.

The small circle of three felt that they should run away, but the big circle meeting of the big boss decided to continue the attack. Goxinga has always been worried about the enemy changing his attack methods, and the big boss has indeed changed his attack methods. However, the two of them had different ideas, and the big leader gave Guo Xinga a face and did not consider besieging from all sides, but chose to continue to face it. But it's better to change the way of playing, the bandits' ideas are very pure, the enemy musket is powerful, then let's restrain the musket!

In the afternoon, when Goxinga received the alarm again, the bandits pushed dozens of shield carts and launched a powerful offensive with nearly 500 participants. The bandits did not have the skill to build the shield car, which was the name shouted by Feng Sheng'a, the regular army of the Qing Dynasty. The bandits just made bamboo rows, pieced together dozens of giant shields out of trees, and advanced them on wheelbarrows. The bandits also really have some experience, and they know that simple trees with different thicknesses may not be able to block bullets. The shield was also covered with quilts and other materials to protect against bullets. When the quilts were insufficient, all sorts of miscellaneous items appeared, and finally the bodies of some starving people were tied to them. But the corpses of the hungry never stay overnight, so there are not many corpses. In the end, the old bandits picked out a few living people who looked like they were dying, and tied them to their shields.

Seeing that the enemy did not adopt the strategy of besieging from all sides, but instead made a very individual choice to face him head-on, Guo Xinga was overjoyed. But when the first round of shooting was over, Guo Xing'a was a little dumbfounded, and the shield car couldn't penetrate it. These rifled guns transformed by Goxinga, after all, are purely hand-bluffed, and they are a little worse than the original Migne rifles. And even the original Migne gun shoots a shield car with such intricate decorations, which is very difficult.

Originally, in the face of * troops, using this bulletproof method to fight was to find death. Because the shield cart travels too slowly and is huge, it is almost a live target. You can use artillery as a *, just name them one by one. But the problem is that Goxinga's troops are seriously biased, all the infantry cavalry are available, and the assault force is very advanced, but there is no artillery. To deal with such bulky big guys, artillery is the first option, but unfortunately Goxinga does not have it.

"All the two companies, bayonets!" Five rounds of alternating fire had been fired, but unfortunately this time the enemy's casualties were not large, and the shield cart blocked most of the lead bullets, and only a small amount passed through the gap to concentrate the enemy. Seeing that the enemy had pressed to within 100 meters, Feng Sheng'a had to order his troops to prepare for a white-knuckle battle.

"Hatan, more than three! Get ready! Goxinga gritted his teeth as he opened his thumb.

"Huh! Light an open flame! "Hatan and Dosan ordered the troops to light open flames with fire folds, ready to be lit at any time.*
