Chapter 308: Judging the situation and not getting tired of deceit
But the black ball thrown by the other party was so powerful, and the horse thief didn't know how many of these black balls Shandong soldiers carried, so he was a little at a loss.
Normally, there are only a few kinds of firearms for the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, and the better ones are the border soldiers, but even they are only equipped with arquebuses, and the rest of the Central Plains battalion soldiers and guard soldiers are mostly carrying low-level goods such as three-eyed guns.
The soldiers who led the troops did not pay attention to the quality, and the treatment and enthusiasm of the craftsmen were not high, and naturally they were also shoddy, and most of the firearms that were made were of inferior quality, and the officers and men did not even understand the most basic attempts, and most of them began to be released indiscriminately before the other side entered the firing range, and often the guns were beaten red and could no longer be used.
According to the ideas of Haoqiang and the horse thieves, aren't the Shandong soldiers also official soldiers, so it should be no different.
In fact, it is understandable for them to think so, except for the surprise attack that penetrated deep into Hetuala, Wang Zheng led the Shandong army to basically fight in the territory of the six provinces of Shandong, and this was the first time to come to the boundary of Nanzhili.
Chai Ye and the wolf-eyed horse thief beside him were still laughing at first, but when they heard the continuous "boom" and miserable howls, they realized that something was wrong, and they couldn't laugh anymore.
"Can't let them throw it again!"
Chai Ye still has some knowledge, and after seeing it, he immediately saw that this was a thunderbolt, if the thunderbolt was made properly, it would be equivalent to a reduced version of a grenade, and the deterrent power at this time was undoubted.
So after Chai Ye reacted, he immediately pulled his throat and ordered the impact, God knows how many thunderbolts the Shandong soldiers brought, the horse team is all treasures, if the other party keeps throwing it, it will be okay?
Hearing Chai Ye's order, the horse thieves who rushed around hesitated for a long time, and then slapped the horse's belly with the back of the knife to speed up the impact.
However, these horse thieves are worse than the cavalry of the Qing army, at least the cavalry of the Tartars are wearing several layers of heavy armor, and they have long had some adaptability to firearms in the battles accumulated in Liaodong, even if they encounter the firearms attack of the Ming army, they will not hesitate on the battlefield.
Besides, the Tartar cavalry has a specific formation when it comes to the impact, but the horse thief is the one who is fighting for me to rush over, regardless of how many horses under the seat can adapt to this potholed terrain.
Under the attack of the second round of thunder, it was already a mess of people shouting and neighing.
In fact, there were not too many casualties among the horsemen, mainly because of the huge sound of thunder and the fright caused by the flying tiles, which made many thieves who were not skilled in equestrianism be thrown away by the crazy horses.
The biggest casualties were the bandits and bandits who had just been packed, they were a little unlucky, and they just came over to catch up with a round of black balls in the sky, and the dense charge made many people unable to dodge for a while, and they immediately suffered heavy casualties.
When the horse thieves in the back saw this situation, except for some who continued to rush forward, the rest actually had the idea of retreating, and their first reaction was to desperately restrain their mounts and quickly turn to a safe place to observe the situation.
Anyway, at this time, the large army of bandits, pirates and bandits has been surrounded, and the Shandong soldiers are absolutely unable to run away if they are surrounded inside, so why should they be thankless forwards.
What's more, they didn't come here to fight to the death between the front and the Shandong soldiers, everyone was for the goods of the Shandong soldiers and the silver taels promised by their own owners.
Going back, this horse is the capital of their own lives, how can they risk losing their horses to rush forward stupidly.
Fools know that the best choice at the moment is to find a safe place to watch the play quietly, and wait for the war to come out and pick up ready-made.
In addition to the various thoughts of the horse thieves to settle down, the only reaction of ordinary people when they encounter this kind of thunderstorm is to run away, bandits and bandits are exactly like this, everyone will come to sell their lives for money, who wants to be the first to be killed?
But there were a lot of them, rushing over like a swarm, and it was not so simple to evacuate for a while, and most of them could only watch the thunder fly above their heads.
These three rounds of thunder came down, and at once the combined forces of bandits, bandits, pirates, and powerful people were pulp, some ran, some fell to the ground with broken arms and short legs and screamed, and some were frightened and couldn't move.
The results were so brilliant that the other side was already in chaos and began to flee without touching them, but the grassroots officers of the Shandong Army did not rejoice, but many people were so anxious that they jumped to their feet.
There were only a few soldiers who were too nervous, their hands were all chattering, and they couldn't untie the things they tied to the waistband of their trousers when they came into battle.
However, this gave the other party an illusion that after three rounds, in fact, most of the Shandong soldiers did not have thunder in their hands, but this small part became an unexpected continuous firepower, which was the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Although the number of these thunderbolts was small, the bandits were already scared, and there was no doubt that more would be thrown out of the formation, and no one had the time to notice the problem of the number of thunderbolts.
"Damn, this is not over, Chai Ye! Lao Tzu can tell the brothers in the cottage that he is here to eat and drink spicy food, not to be used as cannon fodder for you to die! ”
A one-eyed bald man was blown up, and when he saw his second master of the cottage being blown up, his first reaction after getting up was to scold Chai Ye, who was watching the battle in the rear.
At this time, many bandits, pirates, and bandit leaders noticed that at some point, the horses of the powerful men had quietly retreated behind them, and some of them even chatted and laughed on their horses and watched them charge into battle.
The bandit leader was a little surprised, and asked angrily;
"The surname is Chai, why did your people return, could it be that you are making fun of Lao Tzu, what about the goods? Where's the silver!? ”
One of the pirate leaders also waved his hand to stop the charge of his men, but he still had some sense, turned around and said calmly:
"Chai Ye, we are invincible on the sea, this time you lobbied to the land for the promised goods and silver, but now I don't see anything, but the brothers are suffering heavy casualties."
At this point, the pirate leader spoke slowly and continued:
"Shouldn't your people set an example and give everyone a lead!"
This remark has been repeatedly agreed by most of the leaders, it stands to reason that at this time, the so-called Chai Ye will grit his teeth and order the horse team to charge, in order to calm the hearts of those thieves, even if the original intention is not to think so, it is good to do an expedient measure.
But Chai Ye sneered, rode a horse and said:
"Fart, who are you, the Chai family is the big man in this Huai'an Mansion, and which of the major yamen in the north and south doesn't know me Chai Lu! How dare you bargain with Lao Tzu? ”
After Chai Lu's words were finished, the bald and one-eyed bandit leader suddenly burst out, and said in his heart that he was really blinded by lard a few days ago, and he was deceived by Chai Lu's Qiu Bayu to become an enemy of the Shandong army.
The leaders of the various mountains and bandits are all indistinguishable figures in their own homes, and Chai Lu's words are a direct slap in the face to everyone present, not to mention that their subordinates have been damaged, and everyone can't swallow this evil breath alone.
The Shandong soldiers, who were originally preparing to fight to the death, saw this reversal, on the one hand, they didn't dare to say much, for fear of destroying this "harmony", and on the other hand, they were secretly relieved in their hearts, so that these thieves could fight in the nest and die one by one.
Lu Jingrong's mind turned, and he suddenly shouted:
"Heroes! I am Lu Jingrong, the commander of the Shandong Army stationed in Qingzhou Mansion, but we can trust the Shandong Army? ”
Hearing this, the bald and one-eyed strong man at the beginning thought about it, and Wang Zheng seemed to have not lost his credibility when he spoke, so he nodded.
Seeing this, Lu Jingrong was overjoyed in his heart, and continued to shout without changing his face:
"I, Lu Jingrong, guarantee the identity and reputation of the commander of the army, today's events are all done by the Chai Lu family, if everyone stops fighting, our Shandong army will not be responsible for the past, and there will be another heavy gift!"
