The squadron leader's heart sank, knowing that this matter was in big trouble. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Mao Chenglu's official position in front of him is not important, the official is not valuable, what matters is the actual position of Dongjiang Town, not only the actual general, but also the general who leads the inner ding for Mao Wenlong, or one of Mao Wenlong's righteous sons, the most capable Neiding under Wenlong is led by this person, it is conceivable that this person's status in Dongjiang Town and Mao Wenlong's intimate relationship.

However, whether it was Mao Chenglu or the rest of the generals, it was impossible for the squadron leader to give way.

This is related to the concept of the Shang Tuan Army, military discipline, and military discipline, which are all iron-clad creeds.

Moreover, the squadron leader also knew that the upper echelons of the 12th Regiment were wary of Dongjiang Town's cooperation, just as Dongjiang Town had the same attitude towards the merchant army.

"Our unit is stationed here," the squadron leader said: "We can't back down when General Mao comes, and we will be responsible for arresting those who ran over before." ”

The squadron leader still has confidence in saying this, the entire twelve regiments within a radius of dozens of miles have run all over the training, and those human bodies are almost exhausted, even if they are told to run for two quarters of an hour first, they will definitely be caught in half an hour at most, and when the time comes, they will be interrogated and returned to the people of Dongjiang Town.

There was nothing wrong with what he said, but Mao Chenglu became anxious when he heard it, shook the sword in his hand, first scolded twice, and then said to his subordinate archers: "Release the arrow." ”

There are fifty or sixty Dongjiang archers, and it is very rare to have so many archers in a total of 300 or so troops, which shows that these people are Mao Chenglu's cronies, and they should be mainly based on his inner ding and personal soldiers...... The equipment is a bit miserable, only less than 10% of the more than 300 people have cotton armor, only a dozen people have iron armor, and most of the rest are wearing various colored robes, and most of them are in tatters.

This is very normal in the Dongjiang Army, ninety percent of the Dongjiang soldiers are fleeing Liao people, who can escape in the war, and after escaping thousands of miles from the pursuit of the Jin soldiers, it is very rare to be able to live to the territory of Dongjiang Town, not to mention being able to dress completely...... In the midst of the turmoil, it would be nice to be able to get rid of your life.

Zhuang Ding was conscripted into the army, weapons are also very rare, Dongjiang Town was poor and white at the beginning of the town, and later the emperor repeatedly sent the interior to the island, Denglai was the governor Yuan Keli strongly supported, but those materials for hundreds of thousands of refugees are like a drop in the bucket, more Mao Wenlong picked tens of thousands of strong men to enlist in the army, the expansion of the Dongjiang River, after a few years, it is still difficult to have a weapon in hand, most of the battalion soldiers are just sharpened wooden poles, and even shovels and forks are used as weapons in peacetime.

There are more than 300 people in front of him, almost all of them have decent weapons in their hands, which is very rare, and they belong to the elite soldiers and horses who can confront the Houjin soldiers head-on in Dongjiang Town.

When more than fifty archers heard the order, they immediately drew their bows and arrows and shot at the heavy infantry.

It can be seen that although Mao Chenglu has a short temper, he does have a hand in military training, and most of these soldiers are Liao people who used to work as farmers.

In the past, most of the people who could shoot were hunters or military households, and in the sound of "collapse" one after another, the arrows were tilted in front of the opposing military formation like rain.

The distance was only twenty or thirty paces, and the distance was so close that the arrows barely missed.

But Mao Chenglu regretted it after giving the order...... How can there be such a stupid method, the infantry on the opposite side are all wearing multiple layers of heavy armor, and the iron helmets with brims on their heads, although this arrow is a powerful arrow at close range, it is also useless.

Sure enough, the arrows rained down, and the heavy infantry of the entire squadron clanged, but the infantry was very experienced...... When the Dongjiang soldiers approached just now, the infantry not only obeyed the order to set up the array, but also pressed down the iron helmet, and also put on the iron mask, the bow of the Dongjiang soldiers was far less than that of the Jianyu, and the bow strength was insufficient, that is, there was still some threat to the close, but under the protection of the double or triple armor, these arrows were not used, and only a few people were pierced by the tips of the arrows through the weak protection and were slightly injured.

Since the opposite side attacked first regardless of the friendly forces, of course, the merchant army would not be polite anymore, and the squadron sergeant major immediately ordered to return fire.

The drum beat at a few o'clock, the flag waved, and more than 50 people shouted in unison: "Tiger! ”

This is because the heavy infantry are all trained according to the cold weapon drill method, whether it is the mandarin duck formation or the large and small three-talent formation, or the square formation, the circle formation, and the fish scale formation, they are all practiced by Qi Jiguang's method, including the response of the word "tiger" in this formation, which is also learned by Qi Jiguang.

In the midst of the sound of the tiger, the faces of the heavy infantry hidden in the iron masks were also like iron, and the morale of the heavy infantry rose suddenly, and the momentum of the entire squadron was completely different from that of just now.

Mao Chenglu's complexion has changed, at this time the sky is dark, everyone feels a palpitation, and then look in the air, but it is the heavy infantry on the opposite side who threw out the short weapons in their hands, throwing axes, short swords, broadswords, throwing guns, in the "buzzing" sound, hurried towards this side.

At such a close distance, it is useless to wear heavy armor, Mao Chenglu was greatly flustered, but fortunately, several of his inner soldiers were more effective, and several people immediately held shields and protected Mao Chenglu in the shield.

At this time, the screams rang out one after another.

The power of throwing weapons is much greater than that of bows and arrows, but it is difficult to throw accurately, it requires years of hard training, and the distance can not be far, generally within fifty steps can be thrown, and it is useless to exceed this distance.

About 30 steps, after hard training, people can aim at the target, can not say where to hit, but usually practice almost to shoot nine targets out of ten, that is to say, 30 steps away, throw with a flying axe, must hit the target, throw people either in the chest, or in the legs, or in the head, most of them can hurt the vital point, and the armor is useless.

In a round of throwing, more than 30 people fell almost instantly, and most of them were seriously injured, and there were also Dongjiang soldiers who were hit in the head by axes or broadswords on the spot, and the injuries were too serious, and blood gushed out on the ground, and people died after moaning a few times.

The leader of the heavy infantry squadron seems to be unbearable, these Dongjiang soldiers are refugees who fled here, and now they are also following Dongjiang Town to fight Jianqing, they are comrades-in-arms of each other, and they did not call the infantry to move forward and push back, nor did they give the order to throw again, after a round of blows, the Dongjiang soldiers are all retreating, and there is no threat.

Mao Chenglu peeked out from behind the shield, his rough face full of beard was full of anger, his face was red with anger, it was originally a black face, but he could actually see that he was blushing, you can imagine how angry he was.

But Mao Chenglu didn't dare to get angry, and the other side had already shown mercy, but although there were only more than 50 of those soldiers, they were all heavily armored and holding strong soldiers, like iron men standing one by one, with indifference in their eyes, like a fierce beast waiting to choose people and devour, these soldiers, how can his subordinates be opponents? Moreover, when it comes to close combat, it is a very disadvantageous thing to be thrown into a few short soldiers in a row, Mao Chenglu's subordinates have no short weapons to throw, nor have they been trained, only archers, which are useless to ironclad infantry, and the opponent also has one or two short firearms inserted in his waist, and the fight is even more ferocious, plus the melee combat is definitely the advantage of the other party, not to mention the armor and weapons, the array is also very tight...... Mao Chenglu knew that the training of the merchant group with Yusheng was hard, and he was training on the road of elite soldiers, but he didn't expect that when he went out to do this, he would bump into such an elite ironclad infantry, which was really evil!

"Today's disgrace will be rewarded." Mao Chenglu shouted in a hoarse voice: "This Liangzi, we are finished." ”

The squadron leader smiled and said, "General Mao, don't worry, this is all a misunderstanding, we are friendly troops." I have just explained that I will capture fugitives for your army, but General Mao ordered an attack, and our army had to fight back. ”

Mao Chenglu was furious, but he had nothing to say, he didn't even care about the wounded soldiers at the moment, pointed to the ground, and said: "Since it is a friendly army, the wounded soldiers are handed over to you to deal with." ”

The squadron leader felt a little helpless, this Mao Chenglu was simply playing a scoundrel, but he had no choice, so he arched his hand and said: "General Mao, don't worry, I will definitely treat the wounded soldiers of your army in the future." ”

The Dongjiang soldiers know a little bit, and they are quite good at Yusheng's military doctor!

After hearing the squadron leader's promise, not only the Dongjiang soldiers were relieved, but those who were seriously injured also felt the same, and many people even reduced their groans, waiting for He Yusheng's military doctor to come and treat them.

Mao Chenglu is also very awkward in his heart, look at these uncompetitive subordinates, he can't wait to slaughter them one by one, but people want to save them, and his subordinates also want to be saved, he can't even reprimand him, they are all his inner ding henchmen, if it chills people's hearts, will they all be replaced by inner ding?

Don't mention the discomfort in my heart at the moment, I can't even talk anymore, I twist my face and leave.

They pursued from the dense forest and the valley road, Mao Chenglu had never ridden a horse, this trip ran for several days, and the return journey took at least three days, it was really hard, but the errand had not been completed, it was really embarrassing, Mao Chenglu suddenly felt sad...... Two lines of tears flowed from the leopard's eyes, wiped away by his rough and loose hands. After thinking about it, it is indeed a grievance, he is the commander of the three products of the imperial court, and he will definitely be able to do the first product of the military attache in the future, but his subordinates are like a group of people called Huazi, and there is no land, land, or shops, and it is impossible to equip his subordinates, and he Yusheng, an ordinary officer, is all soldiers, and the equipment is far above his subordinates, this kind of sad grievance is not for the generals to really not understand.

……

The Dongjiang soldiers retreated, and the squadron leader and other officers breathed a sigh of relief.

Not fear...... The combat power of the Dongjiang soldiers, in the eyes of the Shang group soldiers, is stronger than the Beiyu, if you really fight hand-to-hand, even if you defeat it, the casualties on this side are inevitable, unlike the Beiyu, three hundred Beiyu fight a squadron of heavy infantry, this side is confident that one person can defeat the Beiyu, and the Dongjiang soldiers can not have this confidence. But that's the case, the combat power of the Dongjiang soldiers exceeds that of the general battalions of Beiyu and Liaozhen, but they are under the Neiding of the generals of Liaozhen...... The reason is also simple, most of the Dongjiang soldiers are recruits even if they are Neiding, and most of the Neiding of the Liaozhen generals are old men who are good at martial arts and cavalry. And the second is that Liaozhen is rich and Dongjiang is poor, and the gap between the two sides in equipment is too large.

Only weapons are unacceptable, and the Guanning Iron Cavalry, which has excellent weapons, can defeat the battle, but it is absolutely impossible to ignore the role of weapons.

When he came back to his senses, the squadron leader immediately ordered: "Come on, leave three squads on guard, and the fourth squad will get rid of the armor, helmets, and shin guards, and catch those who ran away for me!" ”
