Chapter 55: Suppressing Bandits (3)
When Zhu Hongsan was preaching, Yangzhuang Town below was already boiling, and there were shouts of killing everywhere. The largest courtyard in the town was also on fire, probably from the local landlord's house.
Zhu Hongsan looked at it for a while and said, "The time is almost up, Zhao Guodong, you take your battalion to the north of the town." Where the big lake pirates had just come, I concluded that their boat was in that direction. After a while, they will break up and run in which direction. Qian Yong, you take your battalion to kill them directly and destroy them outside the town, each sword and shield hand with five * grenades and two pikemen. ”
After hearing the order, Qian and Zhao went down to organize the team. After a while, I saw half of the people under the leadership of Zhao Guodong detouring to the north of the town. Qian Yong led 300 people down the official road.
When Qian Yong appeared on the official road, someone in the town had already seen them. But looking at Qian Yong, there were only 300 of them. Probably coupled with the fact that the costumes were not official soldiers, the lake thieves in the town came out of the town in a mess under the leadership of a big man, waiting in the open to meet the enemy.
When Qian Yong was five hundred meters away from them, he began to form a line, a very standard line, with two rows of pikemen in front and a row of sword and shield bearers behind. Qian Yong held a password on the side: "One, two, one, two。。。。。 ”
The pikemen were spear-wielding, stepping on the command, step by step.
This is the opposite lake pirate may be too much psychological pressure, there are already more than a dozen people running, and the big man has killed a few. Seeing Qian Yong, they had already reached a hundred meters. It doesn't matter about anything else. shouted a few words, and estimated how many people were killed and how many rewards were given. Then the leader rushed forward.
The battle was simple, and the half-hour ended with the retreat of the lake bandits. Zhu Hongsan thought that he could hold out for a while, but he didn't expect that the lake thieves would immediately retreat after more than 200 people in the first row lay down, and Qian Yong and their grenades were useless.
Qian Yong didn't organize people to chase him, but just led people into the town and began to clean up the lake thieves in the town. There were less than a thousand people who came out just now, and there were still a large number of lake thieves who killed people in the town and didn't come out.
After Qian Yong entered the town, scattered grenade explosions began to be heard, proving that Qian Yong had begun to clean up the remnants of the enemy.
Zhu Hongsan looked at Li Fugui on the side and said, "Lao Li, go." Let's take a look at the battlefield below. ”
When the three of them came to the battlefield, there were still people who were not dead. Lying on the ground and moaning. Zhu Hongyi used the large horizontal knife to wound the soldiers one by one as he walked.
Zhu Hongsan squatted on the ground to look at the wounds of a dead man, who had been stabbed in the chest by two spears and bled to death. The spear created by Zhu Hongsan is a reference to the spear stabbing of later generations. It has a conical body with blood grooves on three sides, which can increase the difficulty of stitching. With a length of fifty centimeters, it is longer than the tip of a gun of this era, which basically a person can penetrate and avoid jamming the bones.
The wound on this person's body is the size of a duck's egg, and the blood of such a large wound will basically flow out one-third of the body in ten seconds, while a person's blood loss of one-third will lead to coma and basically lose mobility.
Zhu Hongsan looked at the wounds on several corpses again and was very satisfied. This kind of murder weapon is basically fatal if it stabs the torso of the body. Zhu Hongsan wanted to go back and ask Li Fugui how he was. I saw this guy vomiting on the side. Zhu Hongsan sighed and said, "Lao Li, haven't you ever been a cell boss?" How can it still be like this. ”
Li Fugui wiped his mouth and said, "Third Master, all you see in prison is blood, and you really can't accept this red, blue, and green everything." ”
Zhu Hongsan pointed to a corpse on the side that had half of his head cut off by a horizontal knife and said, "Lao Li, you don't have to say the same, this is still white." ”
Li Fugui looked at it, and ran to the side again.
Zhu Hongsan was very satisfied after reading it, and at this time the battle in the town was over. The battle has moved to the south of the town, and it seems that they are on fire with Zhao Guodong.
Zhu Hongsan called Zhu Hongyi, and the two rode into the town.
The town was much worse than the outside, and many of its inhabitants were dead on the ground in addition to the lake thieves.
Zhu Hongsan's entry into the town was mainly to see how powerful the weapon was, after all, this was the first actual battle. If there are shortcomings, you have to go back and correct them immediately. There were exactly a few corpses on the ground that had been killed by a * grenade. This is much more pleasing to the eye than the cold weapon kills. Zhu Hongsan squatted down and took a look, it was mainly killed by the shock wave of the explosion, the fragments were still not ideal, and only one corpse was killed by the fragments.
The main thing is that there is too little hand * grenade charge. Even the high-explosive* explosives of later generations also have a killing radius of 10 meters. Now it would be nice to have a six-meter radius of Black Flame*. Zhu Hongsan sighed and thought: It seems that this *hand grenade can only be used as a defensive * grenade, and the power of the *hand* grenade is still small when attacking. Offensive weapons still require artillery.
When Zhu Hongsan was observing the corpse, Qian Yong came over, and when he saw Zhu Hongsan, he stood up and said, "Report to the chief, the enemy in the town has been cleared." Now the battle has shifted to the north, and our battalion and Zhao Guodong are annihilating the remnants of the enemy. ”
Zhu Hongsan nodded and asked, "What about our casualties?" ”
Qian Yong said: "There were no deaths, only twelve pikemen were cut by the enemy, and two sword and shield men were wounded in the legs, but none of them were serious. ”
Zhu Hongsan was happy to hear that no one was injured, and said: "It's good, but don't be proud, this is just a homeless person, and it has no combat effectiveness." ”
As he was talking, a fat man came running in the distance, dressed well. Seeing Zhu Hongsan and them crawling over, they cried when they met, crying while crying: "Thank you, you are the guardian team of that town, I must thank you for saving us." ”
Zhu Hongsan didn't like to deal with this kind of small landlord, and just saw that Li Fugui had vomited enough, so he came over from outside and hurriedly called over and handed over the fat man to Li Fugui.
The fighting north of the town should also be over, and the fighting has stopped. After a while, Zhao Guodong came back, saluted and said, "Sir, the task has been successfully completed, except for the more than twenty that have run away, all of them will be eliminated." More than 100 displaced people were also arrested. I'm here to ask my sir, what are they going to do? ”
Zhu Hongsan nodded and said, "Keep five, and cut off the rest." Then lead the soldiers to collect their belongings and find a few large carts to load. ”
"Yes." Zhao Guodong did not mention the arrangement after saluting.
At this time, Li Fugui had already finished asking. Come back and say goodbye. "Third master, that fat man is the landlord of Yangzhuang Town, and he thanked us for saving him. Give us a thousand denarii. ”
Zhu Hongsan said: "I'll talk about the rest later, let him find a boat and lead us to Biandanzhou, then there should still be enemies that have not been eliminated, and the grass must be eradicated." ”
At this time, Qian Yong and Zhao Guodong had already returned, and Zhu Hongsan ordered them to take the five lake thieves, leaving 200 people to clean up the battlefield, and the others to rest first, and then go to Biandanzhou when the boat came.
An hour later, Li Fugui got more than 20 fishing boats, plus the remaining boats of the lake bandits, and Zhu Hong's three or four hundred people got on the boats and went to Biandanzhou to exterminate the remnants of the enemy.
Under the leadership of the five leading parties, it was easy to get to Biandan Continent, and after asking about the situation on the island, he asked Zhu Hongyi to send those leading parties to lead the way to Lord Yama.
By this time it was almost dark, and the lake bandit houses on the island were already lit. Just now, the party said that Biandanzhou is a small strip-shaped island, thick in the south and thin in the north, and connected by a thin Changsha dam in the middle. The bandits lived mainly on the small island to the south, with a total of about two dozen houses. There are still more than 200 people on the island, all of them are old and weak and women who have been snatched back.
Zhu Hongsan looked at the direction and led the fleet to sail directly like Nandao. There are only 200 people on the island, so there is no need for any trickery, just kill them. In addition, now that it is almost dark, the people of the Ming Dynasty have been lacking vitamin A for a long time, and the poor people basically suffer from night blindness. When Zhu Hongsan's team was first formed, he discovered this, and it was very simple to solve. Animal liver is rich in vitamin A. After eating pork liver porridge for a month, the soldier's night blindness has improved greatly, and now he can basically see people in the dark.
Zhu Hongsan also knew that his team could fight normally at night, so he was ready to attack after dark. Generally, officers and soldiers are inactive at night.
There were still five hundred meters away from the island, and Zhu Hongsan ordered not to paddle and lean up slowly. There is a small pier on the island, but it takes too much time for 400 people to disembark from the pier. Zhu Hongsan gestured and ordered Qian Yong to take fifty people to the island first to occupy the beachhead, and he took the others to wade ashore.
The people on the island are lax, and there is no one to stand guard. Even standing guard can't be seen. Four hundred people went ashore safely, Zhu Hongsan ordered Qian Yong to attack, and Zhao Guodong responded, without any formation. Four hundred against two hundred and a half blind men, no matter how you fight, you can win.
Zhu Hongsan led Zhu Hongyi and Li Fugui to watch. Qian Yong led someone to touch it. Zhao Guodong led people to spread all over the place, preparing to intercept and kill the escaped lake thieves.
Qian Yong was discovered when he was approaching a house, and there was no accident in the battle. First, Qian Yong led people to rush and kill, and each room came with a hand * grenade, and then the sword and shield soldiers went in and hacked the living. Some people ran out and wanted to get on the boat and run, but they were quickly killed on the dock by Zhao Guodong's people.
Zhu Hongsan and Zhu Hongyi watched it with relish, but Li Fugui couldn't understand it, he could only see the firelight, and a bunch of people were slashing and killing by the firelight. Nothing else can be seen clearly.
Zhu Hong's eyes were sharp, and when he saw a house, the window moved, as if a person had come out, and he looked around and ran along the lake to the north island.
Zhu Hongsan poked Zhu Hongyi and said, "Big brother, did you see someone coming out of that room?" ”
Zhu Hongyi said: "No." ”
Zhu Hongsan said: "No, big brother come with me, let's arrest him, I feel that he must be an important person." ”
The two chased after each other, and the man in front didn't dare to run fast at first, for fear of being discovered. After a while, he saw someone chasing him behind him, and quickly quickened his pace.
After crossing the sand bar, I watched the man burrow into the reed pond by the lake, and after a while he pushed a small boat out of it, pushed it into the lake, and then got into the boat and rowed desperately.
Zhu Hongsan saw that he couldn't catch up, and shouted, "Big brother, do you have any way to stop him." ”
Zhu Hongyi pulled out a horizontal knife from his waist and threw it as a javelin. I heard a scream coming from the lake. It seems to have been hit, but the distance is too far to see clearly. By the time Zhu Hongsan went back and got a boat to chase after him, the man had already run away.
