Chapter 16 The Mandarin Duck Formation, the Qi Family Army
Although it has only been a long time since the beginning of spring, at night, there will always be unknown insects chirping in the surrounding grass, this kind of insect chirping Li Hongfei may not care, but Wang Guoxing, who has a high concentration of attention, will soon notice it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Originally, on the official road, he could still hear the sound of insects, but as soon as he entered the entrance of the village, he found that even the sound of insects had disappeared.
Just when Li Hongfei wanted to ask why he was retreating, a large number of torches suddenly lit up in the village, and at the same time, there were bursts of shouts and killings, and it was obvious that Li Hongfei and others had been ambushed.
As the firelight illuminated the entire village, dozens of soldiers dressed in Ming army uniforms rushed out quickly, one of them came across the horse, although he couldn't see his face clearly, but this person was tall and quite strong, and at first glance he was a strength player.
"Oops, could it be the rout that fled before?" Wang Guoxing was shocked.
Those who escaped from Andingmen were not so much routs as bandit scum, after all, they had not been attacked by Li Zicheng before, and those soldiers fled without a fight, and even did the act of robbing houses before escaping.
It is estimated that even if the identity of everyone is said at this moment, the other party will not hesitate to kill people, after all, in the eyes of the generals of the Ming army, they are already considered to have committed capital crimes, these people are now equivalent to a group of crazy people, if they have too many people, they may be able to suppress and co-opt, but now, including Chen Yuanyuan, this woman, is only ten people, how to compete with the other party.
However, God always seems to like to joke, and just when Wang Guoxing was about to resist desperately and kill himself, things took a dramatic turn.
"I am Guo Sheng, the army of the Qi family, and the thief will be captured before he is tied!" The man on horseback who rushed out of the "rout" on the opposite side reported his name.
"Impossible! Qi Shaobao (Qi Jiguang) has died (specifically referring to the death of high-ranking officials) for more than fifty years, how can there be a Qi family army now? Wang Guoxing's face was full of disbelief.
"Don't get me wrong, this brother, we are not thieves, we are Jinyi guards who have just broken out of Andingmen. Commander Wang, don't take off the clothes of the dead outside of you, and show the identity of the brocade guard! Li Hongfei explained loudly while motioning Wang Guoxing to hurry up and prove his identity.
Li Hongfei doesn't care whether the other party is Qi Jiajun or not, as long as the other party is not Li Zicheng's troops, it's easy to say.
Several people were wearing enemy armor in order to get through the customs before, and then they ran all the way, they had long forgotten about this stubble, and now they will be misunderstood by the other party as a breaking army, since it is a misunderstanding, of course Li Hongfei has to explain, and let Wang Guoxing prove his identity.
However, he also kept an eye on it, only reported the identity of Jinyiwei, did not mention Zhu Youzhen, and also said that his party escaped, even if the other party was really a previous rout, he should not be embarrassed by Li Hongfei and others, who were also "deserters".
"Appeal ........."
Hearing that it was Jinyiwei, Guo Sheng hurriedly pulled the reins of the horse, and the war horse man stood up, and finally stopped five meters in front of Wang Guoxing.
However, Guo Sheng was not stupid, he was worried that the other party was cheating, he did not get off the horse, but was on guard with a knife, and at the same time asked the Ming army, who was holding firearms behind him, to come forward and surround Li Hongfei and others.
The most important thing is that these soldiers are very particular about their position, every group of twelve, four people crouching with guns, four people standing with guns, and the other four people standing at the back according to their guns, divided into three rows in front and back.
Li Hongfei understood at a glance that this kind of formation was to better exert the power of firearms, that is, before the First World War, the platoon gun formation used by European musketeers, once the battle started, the soldiers squatting in the front would shoot first, and then scatter the ammunition, and the soldiers in the second row would squat down to shoot supplementally, and when the three rows finished firing in turn, the first batch of soldiers to shoot could be fired again.
This is just enough to allow the firearm to continuously suppress the enemy and give the enemy continuous damage.
Fortunately, there are not many people on Li Hongfei's side, so Guo Sheng will give them a chance to defend themselves, otherwise it doesn't matter if you are a Jinyi guard or not, as long as you are wearing the armor of the army, you are the enemy.
Since he was surrounded by the other party and heard Li Hongfei's command to reveal his identity, Wang Guoxing didn't care about thinking about the affairs of the Qi family's army, but hurriedly ordered several of his subordinates to take off their armor outside, revealing the flying fish suit and embroidered spring knife.
Then Wang Guoxing took out a waist card from his waist and handed it to Guo Sheng: "I am the commander of the Jinyi Guard, this is my token." ”
"All the commanders? For a while, the thief's clothes, and the brocade clothes and guard uniforms for a while, at a glance, it is a fine work, who knows if your identity is true or false! Guo Shengdao.
Although he didn't do it, he still didn't believe it.
"The capital has been occupied by thieves, and without the uniforms of thieves, it is difficult for us to get out of the city, but we are in too much hurry along the way, so we forgot to take off the clothes of the thieves." Li Hongfei hurriedly explained.
"Who are you, why don't you take off your thief clothes?" Obviously, Guo Sheng was more interested in the person who spoke first.
In his opinion, Wang Guoxing seems to be more like a bodyguard or something.
"It doesn't matter who I am, a few of us were in too much of a hurry before we left the city, so we didn't have time to change our robes, and the thieves had to settle for their clothes." Li Hongfei pointed to Zhu Youzhen and Wang Chengen and explained to each other.
Except for Li Hongfei, Zhu Youzhen and the eunuch Wang Chengen did not take off their armor outside.
Guo Sheng stared carefully and found that the other party's clothes and armor did not fit, obviously it should have been put on temporarily, and it was only at this time that he believed that the other party was not an intruder.
Just when Guo Sheng was about to continue to ask, a person came out of the rear of the Ming army again, and he didn't even greet Guo Sheng, and said directly: "So it seems that the explosion in the direction of Andingmen was caused by you?" Are you deserters? What's going on in the city? ”
The voice of the voice is relatively sharp, either a eunuch or a woman, but according to Li Hongfei's judgment, the eunuch is mostly likely, after all, most of the Ming Dynasty troops are supervised by eunuchs, and those who dare to ignore the generals and speak directly are basically the eunuchs who have more power than the generals.
"Router? Bah! What labor and management hate most is to rout the army, and it is not good to fight with the enemy, but it is a good hand to harm the people. When Guo Sheng heard that Li Hongfei and others were defeated soldiers, he immediately couldn't help but scold.
"We are not a rout, the reason why we broke out of the city is to escort the families of important people, so that they can have no worries when fighting the thieves." Li Hongfei pointed to Chen Yuanyuan beside him.
Not to mention, this chick is easy to use, she can be used as a shield in front of the army, and she can also be used as a shield in front of the Ming army.
As for whether Chen Yuanyuan was scolding his mother in his heart at this time, Li Hongfei didn't bother to care.
"Didn't you withdraw from the Jingshi? And what happened to the Qi family army you just mentioned? The imperial court has long since lost the establishment of the Qi family's army, who are you who dare to form an army under the banner of Qi Shaobao? Wang Guoxing asked rhetorically.
Now he understands that the other party's army, because it should not be a deserter from the rout of the city, it is very likely to be the army that came to King Qin, but this leading general is a little arrogant, and he dares to call himself the Qi family's army.
"What's wrong with Qi Jiajun? My grandfather has indeed passed away for fifty-six years, but the Qi family has not died, the soul of the Qi family is still there, the Qi family's military law is still there, and the mandarin duck array of the Qi family army is still there! The shrill voice from before sounded again.
After some identification, Li Hongfei is now sure that the person speaking in front of him is definitely not a eunuch.
Li Hongfei distinguishes gender, the first observation is naturally the chest, even if the person in front of him is wearing armor, but he still can't stop the firmness of the chest, the eunuch is not a shemale, the eunuch who has men does not have, and the woman has it, and the eunuch also does not.
"Mandarin duck array? This is the legendary Mandarin Duck Array? Li Hongfei finally saw it.
The Mandarin Duck Formation was originally used by Qi Jiguang to clear the Japanese and deal with the Japanese musketeers, and there was no such three-stage shooting formation.
