Chapter 589: Our People

Mo Youjing shouted: "Ready! ”

The five hundred-man squad of the main soldier division stood in a long platoon, and when they heard the order to prepare, they quickly aimed their muskets at the feet of the Yi soldiers in front.

Immediately afterwards, Mo Youjing shouted "fire" and directly pulled the trigger of the musket in his hand.

The flint fixed on the dragon's head struck the anvil above the medicine pool, and a string of sparks appeared, and the sparks fell into the medicine pool, igniting the gunpowder in the medicine pool, and the gunpowder in the medicine pool immediately burned, igniting the gunpowder in the chamber of the gun.

Then, with a "bang", the gunpowder filled in the chamber of the gun made a loud noise, and the projectile that was pressed against the chamber was ejected.

It was too late, and it was too fast, and in just a moment, Mo Youjing fired the projectile from the musket and hit the Yi soldier who rushed to the front in the abdomen.

Mo Youjing saw that after the gunshot, the Yi soldier suddenly covered his abdomen and fell to the ground and rolled over.

He didn't know if he had hit the shot, but he was sure that if it hadn't hit the man, it had been one of the people who had fallen to the ground on the other side.

Because the crowd was so dense that there was no need to aim at all.

Two rows of five hundred-man teams, a thousand muskets fired in a volley, instantly knocking down a large number of Yi soldiers.

After firing the first shot, Mo Youjing immediately shouted a series of orders: "All of them!" Take five steps back! Reload your ammo! ”

On the battlefield, the most taboo thing is to shout the word "retreat".

When Mo and Jing shouted these two words, Zhu Xieyuan, Wu Zhiwang, and Qin Liangyu all changed their faces.

They were worried that after Mo Hejing shouted the word back, in the face of the surging Yi soldiers, the already thin musketeers in front would scatter in a hurry.

However, to their great relief and surprise, none of the musketeers of the two rows of five hundreds, turned around and ran away because the commander's order contained the word back.

Instead, everyone took five steps back in place, and then, without further orders, quickly formed their own formation, aligned their platoon, and reloaded their ammunition as if the rapidly approaching enemy did not exist.

Of course, all of this is done in a single respite.

After Mo Youjing shouted out the series of interconnected orders, he immediately shouted again: "Great General Cannon!" Ignition! ”

As the order to ignite was heard, the entire earth suddenly trembled violently, and then the sound of "boom" came.

The ten great generals' cannons opened fire together, and the sound made Zhu Xieyuan, Wu Zhiwang and the others who were nearby dizzy, and their ears were full of roaring sounds, and they couldn't hear other sounds at all.

After Zhu Xieyuan saw the ten great general's cannons jump off the ground because they fired together, he saw a white smoke in front of him, enveloping the Yi soldiers who rushed behind.

Immediately afterward, he saw the commander of the Tiance Guard, who was silent and restrained and didn't speak much, and waved his arm fiercely, he must have issued some categorical order again.

Sure enough, the front of the ten hundred-man musketeers who stood in the front and rear rows of Tiance Guard musketeers once again rose in unison.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Xieyuan saw that Mo Youjing did not let his musketeers reload ammunition again, but squatted on the ground in the front row, raised their guns in the back row, and put out a gun formation similar to the white pole soldiers of stone pillars.

Immediately afterward, one after another Yi soldiers dressed in black were rigidly loaded onto the bayonets of muskets.

Then there were the soldiers of the Nanjing Jingying brought by Wu Zhiwang, who rushed forward with swords in their hands and cut down the Yi soldiers who had rushed through the musketeers' bayonet formation.

Just a moment later, Zhu Xieyuan's ears suddenly regained hearing, and he immediately heard Qin Liangyu shouting, "They have turned!" They turned to the camp of the Yi people! ”

After Zhu Xieyuan's hearing recovered, he immediately said to the Chinese guerrilla Fang Guoan beside him: "Quickly send someone to give an order, and send Luo Qianxiang to rush to reinforcements immediately!" ”

After Zhu Xieyuan finished saying this order, he turned around to see the black crowd opposite the Tiance guards, and sure enough, he had turned to the Yi camp on the side, and rushed into the camp in a hurry, some of them fought with the officers and soldiers who were fighting in the enemy camp, and more of them rushed straight to the big tun field behind the camp.

Zhu Xieyuan, who had just experienced a crisis and didn't know what was going on, suddenly heard Wu Zhiwang say to him in a loud voice:

"Look, my lord! Look at the west! That's the official army of the imperial court! ”

Zhu Xieyuan's head buzzed when he heard this, and he immediately realized what was going on with the chaotic scene in front of him.

The Yi soldier who has just brought great danger to himself must be the Yi soldier from Bijie!

And the officers and soldiers who followed closely behind this Yi soldier a few miles away must also be the officers and soldiers under the command of Hou Liangzhu and Lin Zhaoding!

Zhu Xieyuan immediately threw up a high ground and looked westward, only to see that in the afterglow of the twilight, groups of people in fiery red robes were pouring down the hillside, followed by the black crowd in front of him!

As soon as Zhu Xieyuan saw this scene clearly, a cheer suddenly sounded among the officials and soldiers around him and nearby: "That's our people!" O our people! ”

That's right, followed by the more than 10,000 black Yi soldiers who swarmed over the hills, it was Hou Liangzhu's Sichuan army and Lin Zhaoding's Yunnan army!

On the same day, Hou Liangzhu and Lin Zhaoding found that the defenders of Bijie Tiger Mountain City withdrew and left, and immediately left the staff general Yang Mingkai to lead the remnants of the army and the wounded soldiers of the Sichuan army to stay in Bijie, and then the two personally led the Sichuan army and the Yunnan soldiers of the Sichuan army to the north to pursue them.

Because An Alun and Tushuai Ah Qi set off more than a day in advance, Hou Liangzhu and others were far behind at the beginning, and the mountain roads were difficult to walk, so they never caught up with this Yi army.

It was not until 24 June that Hou Liangzhu's vanguard Zhang Yunpeng caught up with the families of the Bijie Yi soldiers who had fallen behind under An Alun's command near the Chishui Wei Aluomi Station, and the pursuit battle between the two armies could be regarded as officially commenced.

The Sichuan army under the command of Hou Liangzhu and Lin Zhaoding took turns to act as the vanguard, fighting with An Alun's troops who had been constantly arranging for men and horses after discovering the pursuers.

In this way, a red crowd chased a black crowd, from Aluomi to Baisasuo, and then to the mountain road of Datunchang, sometimes fighting together, sometimes separated in two places, but always maintained a situation of chasing after each other.

For Hou Liangzhu and Lin Zhaoding, if you catch up with the enemy's rear team, then kill for a while, if you can't catch up, then follow so closely, until you are exhausted and unable to flee again, then chase after you and annihilate you.

As for An Alun and Tushuai Ah Kun, they don't know how many officers and soldiers there are behind them, they only know that this officer and army are brave and they can't stay.

In this way, you chased after me, Hou Liangzhu and Lin Zhaoding each led their subordinates, chased An Alun and Ah Kun's team, and chased them all the way to the periphery of Datunchang.

An Alun, who had already run to the sky and begged for help, no matter what the situation was ahead, turned over a hillside and crashed headlong into the battlefield, and almost brought disastrous consequences to the officers and troops outside the Datun field.

However, all of this, for Ann Allen, was caused by accident.

The swarming towards the musket position all the way was beyond the control of An Alun, who was following the team on horseback, and when the front army charged the musket and artillery positions of the officers and soldiers, and hit their heads and broke their heads, the team behind them quickly turned, and it was not something that An Alan could control.

However, if Ann Alun knew that if he continued to incite the crowd to shock for a while, he might be able to make a great achievement.

But he didn't, he just rode a horse and followed the uncontrollable crowd, surging along the gap in the Datun Yi barracks, and he didn't care about the friends and enemies who were fighting in the camp, he only ran forward without his life, and rushed all the way into the Datun field.

Hou Liangzhu and Lin Zhaoding, who followed closely behind the Yi soldiers under An Alun's department, were much more comfortable.

When they climbed over a hillside and saw the battlefield several miles ahead, especially when they saw the fiery red robes and iron armor of the Heavenly Ce Guards, and heard the cheers of "our people" and "our people", they immediately had a correct judgment of the situation in front of them.

For the officers and troops under Hou Liangzhu and Lin Zhaoding, the group of officers and soldiers who are besieging the Yi camp in Datunchang are also "our people"!
