Chapter 136: The First Formation Battle

Xu Heihu is a ranger in western Henan, strong in martial arts, making a long-handled plate axe, rounding twenty or thirty people close to him, is a famous hero in western Henan.

He originally voted for Li Zicheng, but the thieves crossed the border, and even his house was robbed, and his family was killed, he was angry, slaughtered his own captain, and fled to Funiu Mountain with one hundred and ten people, but the year was not good, coupled with the war, a small group of robbers had no way to live, so they threw themselves into Liu Hongqi's hands again, begging for food.

At this time, Xu Heihu carried a long-handled axe, and went out majestically, urging the horse to rush to Gao Yihuan's big array, but halfway through, no one in the opponent's formation came out to fight.

The corners of Xu Heihu's mouth cracked back, and he sneered, presumably because the other party was afraid of his momentum and didn't dare to fight.

Thinking of this, Xu Heihu proudly raised the big axe in his hand, and as soon as Liu Hongqi saw it, he immediately raised his hand, and the bandits shouted one after another, "Black whirlwind!" Black Whirlwind! ”

Listening to the shouts and cheers behind him, Xu Heihu was even more courageous, rushed closer, and roared loudly: "Turtle grandchildren, who dares to come out to fight!" ”

There was silence in front of the Gao army, the soldiers stood straight and did not move, Xu Heihu reined in the war horse, and was about to roar again, but his heart suddenly shook, "Hey~ Mother, why is the cannon smoking." ”

"Boom!" Before Xu Heihu could react, there was a cannon shot in front of Gao Jun's formation, a cloud of white smoke was raised, and an iron bullet flew out rapidly, shooting in front of Xu Heihu's horse, making a pit and splashing a piece of soil.

The war horse was startled by the cannon, and suddenly its front hooves hung in the air, almost throwing Xu Heihu off the war horse.

"Gao Yihuan, I'll join your mother!" Xu Heihu, who stabilized the war horse, broke out in a cold sweat behind his back, and scolded, "Gao Yihuan, are you a good man, why don't you understand the rules at all~"

Before Xu Heihu's words fell, he saw that the other two cannons were also smoking, and next to the cannon that had just been released, two senior sergeants, one pulled out the iron bolt, and the other proposed to shoot the sub-gun and replace it with a loaded ammunition, obviously wanting to kill him.

At this moment, Xu Heihu's soul was scattered, and he didn't care about reasoning, so he pulled out his horse and ran to the main formation.

"Boom!" Two more cannon shots, two iron bullets whistled, the cannonballs hit the side of the war horse, and the earth splattered on Xu Heihu's body. If a shot hits the body, the whole body will not be broken, and the sense of fear makes this good man in western Henan turn pale with fright.

The war horse was running under the bombardment of the cannonballs, and suddenly the horse lost its front hooves, threw Xu Heihu out, and smashed it to the ground.

Gao Yihuan, who was sitting proudly on the horse, saw it, and thought that he had killed the black guy and didn't want to fall to the ground Xu Heihu, so he walked for a while, stood up again, and ran back with a smoke.

", I didn't kill this!" Gao Yihuan's face was surprised and very regretful, so he immediately complained: "This Franc machine is too fucking inaccurate." ”

"General, the gunner has not undergone much training, the Franc cannon itself can't shoot far, and the accuracy is not high, so it's good to be able to shoot to the side!" Jin Shenghuan on the side spoke.

The second brother was depressed for a while, it seems that there is still a long way to go to build an artillery team, and it is estimated that he has to find the Portuguese.

On the side of the Tukou, the sound stopped abruptly and completely quieted down when the cannon sounded, and when they saw the black whirlwind horse stumble and slam on the ground, the sound stopped abruptly and fell completely quiet.

At this time, the group of cobs looked at each other one by one, although no one gave orders, but they probably knew that they couldn't shout, and it would be inappropriate to shout again.

At this time, Xu Heihu, who was lying on the ground, was ashamed and angry, and under the gaze of tens of thousands of horses on his side, he didn't take the axe, and ran back with a smoke, his face full of grievances, "The big boss, Gao Yihuan doesn't pay attention to the rules, he is not a good man, and he bombards me with a dog." ”

Liu Hongqi's face sank like water, his face turned red, he looked back and saw that all his people were dumbfounded, half of his morale was lost, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

As long as the morale is high, you can rely on more people to kill the opponent, if the morale is low, the number of people will be a burden, because once someone escapes, others will follow, resulting in a big defeat.

Liu Hong was silent for a while, now that the men and horses have been opposed, as soon as he retreats, he will be defeated immediately, so he can only fight.

At this time, he looked at the bandit behind him, and then looked at the black whirlwind who had fled back, and suddenly pointed to the high army array, and said loudly: "Brothers, do you see it, the cannon of the high thief can't hit anyone at all." You see that Xu Heihu has nothing to do, come to Heihu, you go around and show your brothers. ”

"Look, it's okay!" Liu Hongqi pointed at Xu Heihu, then raised the horse lance and roared loudly, "Brothers, don't be afraid, there are many of us, after Lao Tzu gave the order, everyone rushed together, defeated Gao Yihuan, took Runing City, and everyone ate meat, drank wine and slept with women." ”

Listening to what Liu Hongqi said, the group of Kou saw that they really didn't hit the black whirlwind with a few shots, and some people who didn't have long brains thought that the guns really couldn't hit people.

"Order, rush to Lao Tzu, die to those who retreat, kill a high thief, and reward a bucket of food!" Liu Hongqi didn't give his subordinates a chance to think deeply, since they bumped into it, it was impossible to turn back, so while the group was still on the rise, he hurried to fight, and the longer it dragged on, the more disadvantageous it was.

Liu Hongqi lifted the horse lance and shouted, and nearly a thousand elite bandits behind him rushed towards Gao Yihuan with red eyes and howling excitedly.

The bandits fight is by virtue of a bloody courage, and if they continue to fight like this, the difference in momentum between the two sides will make the bandits feel cowardly.

More than 1,000 bandits rushed out, and the other bandits saw their howl, and the atmosphere was aroused, so they also rushed forward, and tens of thousands of bandits rushed over like the tide of Qiantang.

I have to say that a large number of people can indeed strengthen their courage and bluff people, Gao Yihuan saw the thieves coming like a tide, and his expression immediately became serious.

"Artillery fire! Hit in the middle of the bandits! Gao Yihuan was not ambiguous, and immediately ordered one after another, "Prepare the front array of firearms and archers, the enemy is nearly thirty paces, shoot again!" ”

The three Francophiles then roared angrily, and white smoke rose in front of the Gao army, and the three cannons that could not hit the people shot iron bullets again, and Liu Hongqi rode a horse and ran beside the front only jue, and suddenly became empty, and a line of five or six thieves was killed on the ground.

When the cannon was fired, several high-ranking archers in the front row, stretched their bows and arrows, pulled the bow into a full circle, and the arrows were diagonally facing the sky, and then suddenly released the bowstring, and the arrows flew into the sky, and then fell down at great speed, inserted into the ground in front of the Tukou, and the arrow shaft shook for a while, marking the position of thirty paces.

"Check the arquebus! Gear up! ”

"Archers with arrows!"

The officers in the front row saw the bandits approaching, and they were a little nervous and gave orders again and again. The gunners in the front row lit the arquebus, raised their guns in unison, and the archers shot straight at them.

The bird's head is not good, whether it can hit or not depends on luck, and the bow and arrow are relatively high, so they are just used to shoot the soldiers in the Tukou.

The Tukou did not have much formation in battle, but the general rules were still understood, they were in front of the bandits, and the archers were behind, and they stopped and shot an arrow fifty paces away, and the arrow flew into the front of the high army, and immediately injured many people.

These bandits still seem to have some ability, and they shoot two or three arrows in a while, but the distance is too far, most of the Gao army has armor, and the arrows are inserted in the armor, but they don't cause any damage.

At this moment, the thieves who rushed to the front jumped over the positioning arrows planted in the ground, and entered a range of thirty paces, and the archers began to pick up the fierce-looking bandits and shoot them, and the bandits fell to the ground one after another.

"Put!" As soon as the commanders of the fire and gas bureaus waved their hands, the sound of "bang, bang, bang" suddenly sounded in front of the Gao army.

The firecrackers pulled the trigger one after another, and sent the burning fire rope into the medicine introduction room, and the gun rod suddenly shook, the fire rope bounced away, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the air, and a projectile sprayed out of the mouth of the gun with a roar.

Gao Yihuan was stationed behind the firearms team, only to hear a series of explosions on the array, and the front of the formation was immediately filled with white smoke, and the Tukou in the front row suddenly fell like mowing grass.

Liu Hongqi rushed to rush, and when he saw that the people around him were empty, his heart trembled, and he couldn't help but slow down.

After firing a shot, the Musketeer did not reload, but quickly retreated from the gap between the killer teams to the back of the army.

Now the fire rate is slow, there is no artillery to cooperate, and the fire net is not enough to stop the bandits from sticking up, so their task is only to defeat the sharp edge of the bandits, and then quickly retreat, leaving the rest to the killer team to solve.

After the three rows of "bang, bang, bang", there were corpses on the ground that fell to the ground, and there were bandits rolling on the ground.

Gao Yihuan saw that all the archers in front of him had retreated, so he immediately drew his sword and shouted: "Kill Ben!"

At the sound of the order, the spearmen behind him immediately raised their spears and stepped to meet the bandits......
