Unlike the other armies of the Wu Dynasty, although the soldiers of the Zheng family army were cheering at the moment, there was no sign of pursuit, the soldiers were wearing all kinds of winter clothes, wrapped tightly and standing in place, their heads looked at Zheng Zhihu who was still nodding secretly, not knowing what the next order was. Oriental Reading Network %77%77%77%2e%6c%6e%77%6f%77%2e%6e%65%74Xu Wei was also stunned at the moment, he didn't know what to do now, Zheng Zhihu was actually confused at the moment, and he didn't know what to do. The discipline of his infantry army was quite strict, and the soldiers had been repeatedly required to fight strictly according to their own orders during training.

Forming a distant feud is not a ghost, and the school is a cool grandson

When the bandits were suppressed in Fujian, this infantry army has always been one of the main forces of the Zheng family's army, and their rifles have exerted great combat effectiveness in suppressing bandits, and they also have sufficient combat experience, but when the enemy breaks and flees in battle, it is easy for soldiers to rush forward to pursue the enemy regardless of orders and snatch the spoils and heads. Once or twice is nothing, but the bandits also carefully analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the two sides in the battle after many defeats, and soon used the method of feigning defeat and fleeing in a battle to lure some of the soldiers of the Zheng family army to pursue, and then set up an ambush on the mountain road, causing heavy casualties to the pursuing Zheng family army, and also lost dozens of rifles and ammunition with them.

This kind of loss made Zheng Zhilong very annoyed, and after he was furious, he ordered all the soldiers of the Zheng family army to pursue under the orders of the commander, so as to prevent the recurrence of this phenomenon of heavy losses in ambushes, you must know that at this time, trade with Dongfang Port has been completely lost, and even if it is restored, I don't know if it can buy Senate rifles again, so the loss of a rifle is less than a rifle, and now the rifle can be a soldier.

Under Zheng Zhilong's orders, Zheng Jiajun began to develop the habit of launching an attack only after the commander conveyed the order, although there would be some situations where there would be some unresponsive situations in the pursuit and defeat of the enemy, but at least they would not rush into the enemy's ambush circle without command.

This is the case now, although the enemy is fleeing in the distance, the soldiers of the Zheng family army are still standing in place and show no signs of advancing. Zheng Zhihu only woke up at this time, and hurriedly shouted at the drummer, "Drum!" The whole army marches! ”

The enemy is far away, and the ghost is knotted with the ball, and the lonely queen is the moon

Under He Yilong's order, the two hundred-man teams in the forefront began to move forward, and after about half a minute, two hundred-man teams marched forward, according to the speed of the two hundred-man teams in half a minute, he sent a total of six hundred-man teams, six hundred old and weak women and children were driven slowly towards the array of the martial army in the wailing, and the supervising team behind them brandished knives, and directly stabbed and slashed behind the slow-walking people, forcing them to speed up their pace.

The drummer hurriedly lifted the cloth covering the drum, raised the drumstick high, and struck it vigorously on the drum surface. The soldiers heard the drums, and although they didn't know what it meant, they knew that there must have been an order. At the same time, the small flag of the queue shouted, "Forward, forward!" ”

The team began to march slowly forward in the horizontal column, and in a short time it had walked forward for about a hundred meters, and reached the first group of lying corpses. Zheng Zhihu rode on a horse, holding an imported brass-shelled telescope in his hand, looking in the direction of the enemy's rout. Xu Wei was also riding a horse on the side, but he didn't have a telescope, so he could only put his hand on the pergola and look into the distance.

The defeated enemy in the distance seemed to be gathering the rout at this moment, and they could see the chaotic army on horseback running back and forth, waving swords and guns, slashing and stabbing at the crowd, and occasionally seeing blood splattered in the air. The people of the rebel army shouted and screamed, although it looked chaotic, but it effectively stopped the rout from continuing to disperse. The rout of the telescope had stopped at this moment, and the warlord group on horseback also began to turn, driving the cannon fodder to continue to rush in the direction where the Zheng family army was.

"Stop!" Zheng Zhihu hurriedly shouted loudly, the drummer hurriedly beat the big drum with another rhythm, and the little flags who heard the drum hurriedly shouted the password loudly, telling the soldiers to stop and start to unfold the formation. "Four horizontal formations! Get ready to line! Zheng Zhihu shouted the order loudly again, and at the rhythm of the drummer, the riflemen began to form a tense and fast formation under the leadership of Xiaoqi.

The ship department is not alone, and then learns to make trouble with the enemy and me

"Second master, now directly prepare the four horizontal columns?" Xu Wei was a little stunned on the side, and hurriedly asked, Zheng Zhihu nodded proudly, "That's right!" Now shoot in four columns, put them down to one hundred and fifty paces, and this will make them collapse faster. As he spoke, he shouted to the herald beside him, "The herald infantry army prepares a goose-shaped formation, and when the chaotic army breaks and flees, pursue it at full speed, don't let them have a chance to collect the rout again!" After speaking, Zheng Zhihu gritted his teeth at Xu Wei and said, "Today we are going to completely wipe out this chaotic army here!" ”

The riflemen began to put the barrel upright, put the bullet inside, punctured the cartridge case with the firing pin, picked out the propellant, and then checked whether the fire rope tied to the hammer was burning properly, and everything was in order, and then one by one the rifles were shouldered and ready to fire. Some of them have accumulated propellant residue in the barrel of the previous combat gun, or the residue directly blocked the ignition hole, and at this moment they directly take a few steps back and half-kneel on the ground to clean the barrel, so as not to malfunction and affect the battle when waiting for the next battle.

Sun Diyuan's ghost learned to fight and hated independence after making trouble

The infantry on both sides were either carrying spears or carrying long knives and shields, forming a goose-shaped formation along the two wings of the firing line, their position was about five meters back, and the smoke emitted when the combat riflemen fired would be very thick, causing them to affect the line of sight, so their positions were arranged in some positions behind, and they only charged forward when the enemy hit a distance of about twenty paces, so that not only could they resist the direct impact of the enemy, but also gave the riflemen time to retreat, and then retreated from both sides when a message was sent from behindThis way of fighting is summed up by themselves in the battle against bandits, and they have experienced many actual combat tests and have a certain effect, so now they will deploy in this way first, and it will not work in front of these Shaanxi rebels, and I will know later.

The rebels in the distance had regrouped, their musketeers regrouped, but now they were all bowing their heads and reloading, hiding behind the cannon fodder in the front line for the assault.

"Second master! You see! Xu Wei gently patted Zheng Zhihu's shoulder and pointed to the enemy formation on the left, "Their cavalry is moving to the left, it should be to attack our left flank." ”

At this moment, I saw that the enemy suddenly erected a big flag, with a big "He" character written on the face, and the appearance of this congratulatory flag obviously gave a shot in the arm to the somewhat depressed morale on the opposite side, and suddenly many soldiers of the chaotic army raised their weapons and shouted at the banner, and the drum beat of the other party, which had been silent for a while, suddenly sounded.

Xu Wei immediately slapped his thigh, "It's broken!" Their reinforcements have arrived! ”

"Reinforcements?" Zheng Zhihu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly raised his binoculars to look over, and there were indeed many cavalry and infantry faintly entering the battlefield in the distance. He hurriedly wanted to issue an order, but was stopped by Xu Wei, "Second Master can't," he was stunned, but saw Xu Wei quietly come over and said, "The arrival of enemy reinforcements is a big matter, and it will inevitably affect the morale of our army. ”

"But I don't know how many reinforcements there are, if they rush in with fire, how can our army resist it?" Zheng Zhihu looked around, and said in a low voice, "We only have more than 1,000 people, and the chaotic army originally seemed to have 3,000 people, but at this time, there are 5,000 reinforcements, let alone 5,000 people, how can we resist it?" ”

Xu Wei was silent for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Second Master, did you remember that Zhong Bin talked about the battle of Zhancheng Port for the countrymen?" Zheng Zhihu was stunned for a moment, and looked up at Xu Wei, "Of course I remember, but what about remembering at this time?" ”

"Relying on the walls of Champong Port, the Chinese people defended Champong Port with a force of less than 2,000 people, and also recaptured a large number of Annam prisoners." Xu Wei said and pouted in the direction of Taiping County in the distance, "I am only one city away from this time." ”

Zheng Zhihu immediately understood what Xu Wei meant, he wanted the whole army to turn, enter Taiping County and then rely on the city wall to fight. "But they won't let us into the city!"

"No," Xu Wei hurriedly said, "If you want to say that they naturally won't let us enter the city a few days ago, but in the battle just now, the city wall was full of soldiers and civilians from Taiping County, and they knew that we were here to quell the chaos, so they would naturally let me wait to enter the city." ”

"What if they still won't let me wait to enter the city even if I get to the bottom of the city?" Zheng Zhihu looked at Xu Wei with a little hesitation, he was not afraid of death, he didn't know how many battles he fought when he was a pirate with his brother, he was also injured many times while killing people, and he had already put life and death aside, but if they really got to the city but couldn't enter, they would not be defeated by this Heziqi rebel army, and then it would be a death from the chaos, not the treacherous plan of the thieves of the Shanxi battalion?

"Definitely not, Xu had expected that he would let them open the door with a word." Xu Wei said and looked at the whole team on the other side, and knew that he was planning to attack, "But I have to win this first encounter." ”

Zheng Zhihu nodded and ordered loudly, "Prepare to shoot!" The drummer hurriedly beat the drum as ordered, and the soldiers raised their rifles at the sound of the command. The distance between the enemy in front of them is more than 300 meters, which is beyond the effective range, and now it has been replaced by the bullets produced by themselves, and the accuracy has been greatly reduced, and the effective range has actually been reduced to one hundred and fifty meters. "Launch!" As soon as Zheng Zhihu's order was issued, the four horizontal columns of soldiers immediately fired a salvo, and the dense gunfire crackled non-stop, and the smoke of gunpowder rose into the air, instantly covering the firing position.

The rebel army on the opposite side immediately messed up, they had already learned the horror of this kind of ultra-long-distance shooting when they fought with this group of great martial forces before, but before they shot at a distance of more than 300 steps on both sides, and now it is almost 500 paces away, and the other party is also crackling, can it also fight?

While the chaotic army was hesitating, a burst of projectiles smashed down like hailstones, although these projectiles were said to have lost their accuracy, but the kinetic energy was still maintained, and they smashed into the densely prepared crowd and instantly killed and injured dozens of people. The soldiers of the rebellious army who were splashed with blood suddenly panicked again, turned around and wanted to run, but the overseer team next to them had no intention of letting them run around, and the overseer team directly held knives and guns at the panicked crowd is a random chopping and poking, and put down more than a dozen people who turned around and fled, which stabilized people's hearts.

"General, what should I do?" The adjutant general next to him hurriedly looked at the general who was riding a horse under the banner of He Zi to command the battle, the general's face was pale, and his legs and feet trembled slightly, but he was also a veteran of the battlefield, so he could still forcibly stabilize his mind, and ordered loudly, "Rush!" ”

The general of this chaotic army is named He Yilong, a member of the "36th Battalion" under Wang Ziyong, he led his troops from the frozen Yellow River into Shanxi a few days ago, after entering Shanxi, his original goal was to capture Xiangling, but Xiangling had already closed the city gate, and the 5,000 people he brought lacked siege equipment and could not break through Xiangling, so he planned to turn to find other valuable targets to plunder. During the search, he stumbled upon a friendly army engaged in a fierce exchange of fire with a military army, and the armed army clearly had the upper hand, so he led his army into the battle.

However, now this military army in front of him makes him feel a little tricky, unlike all the armed forces he has seen before, this small group of troops is equipped with quite a lot of firearms, judging from the situation when it was fired just now, there are at least six or seven hundred firearms, and their firearms are a little far away, at this moment, the distance between the two sides is at least five hundred steps, and the other party can also cause damage to their own side, so it means that their position is also unsafe now. In fact, the volley just now, he felt that his helmet seemed to have been hit hard by stones, he secretly took off his helmet and took a closer look, the helmet had been beaten into a finger-sized pit, if it were not for the protection of the helmet, I am afraid that he would have been killed, seeing this he was frightened to the point that his legs and feet were weak.

However, with his own experience as a soldier in the border army, he even has the habit of releasing guns from a distance, crackling and terrifying, but he can't beat a few people, and he has learned in the battle against the Mongols, as long as the Mongol cavalry rushes over, the military army will become birds and beasts and scatter, so now he also wants to try.

However, he did not have as many strong cavalry as the Mongols, and he did not have so many brave men who were not afraid of death, so he could only drive the cannon fodder to charge, attract the opponent's firepower to the cannon fodder, and then use the right flank of the cavalry to make a detour to attack the enemy's left flank.

Under He Yilong's order, the two hundred-man teams in the forefront began to move forward, and after about half a minute, two hundred-man teams marched forward, according to the speed of the two hundred-man teams in half a minute, he sent a total of six hundred-man teams, six hundred old and weak women and children were driven slowly towards the array of the martial army in the wailing, and the supervising team behind them brandished knives, and directly stabbed and slashed behind the people who walked slowly, forcing them to speed up their pace.

What surprised them was that the Wu army on the other side completely stopped shooting after firing the salvo just now, and they were all half-kneeling on the ground and didn't know what they were doing.
