The bandit leader Xiao Lao Diao made a desperate gamble and organized thousands of his subordinates to launch a night attack together. Unexpectedly, the Qi family army had already prepared, and they came up with several rounds of volleys of Franc machine guns, killing and wounding hundreds of bandits.

Fortunately, the bandits had already passed through the death zone and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the officers and soldiers. Xiao Laodiao was very determined, thinking that although his side suffered heavy casualties, the number of people was still nearly ten times that of the officers and soldiers. The officers and soldiers are just as powerful as they are. Ten people fight one, and it's still a sure win.

Because it was late at night, and the battlefield was pitch black. Xiao Laodiao thought that he had already handed over anyway, and there was no need to hide it anymore, so he ordered his subordinates to light torches and strive for a quick victory.

In a short time, hundreds of torches gradually lit up, illuminating this small clearing under the majestic Yanshan Mountain Range as bright as day.

By the light of the fire, Xiao Laodiao was horrified to find that the battlefield in front of him was not at all what he imagined, but the one-sided slaughter of the bandits by the Qi family's army!

At this time, the two sides had only been fighting for a minute or two, and the bandits who rushed to the front had already been put down by the mandarin duck array of the Qi family's army, and those who were lucky enough to not be injured were all frightened and retreated.

And the bandits in the back could not see the situation in front of them, and still rushed up in a swarm. The bandits on both sides collided and trampled on each other, and the scene was extremely chaotic.

Qi Meifeng saw the opportunity in the car formation, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers: "Beat the sprint drum!" ”

The herald was killed, and immediately beat the cowhide drum, and the drum beat was like bursting beans.

The captains of the mandarin duck teams who were fighting outside the car formation, heard the sound of the drums, and already understood the intention of the main general, and shouted: "Sprint!" ”

At the sound of the order, the large shield soldiers and round shield soldiers in the front row immediately retreated, and two soldiers with long bamboo poles and four pikemen lined up, raised their blades, and rushed forward together.

And those bandits are pushing and cursing each other, and they have to be careful of the dead bodies of their accomplices at their feet, who would have expected that the enemy formation, which was like an iron plate just now, would suddenly charge over at this time!

In an instant, a series of screams rang out. The soldiers of the Qi family army did not make any superfluous movements at all, only stabbed forward. But the simpler the move, the greater the effect at this time, because the bandits on the opposite side are very dense, and it is chaotic, and there is no way to avoid it. These soldiers, all as powerful as oxen, often stabbed the bandits in the body with a single shot.

Regardless of whether the stab was stabbed or not, the soldiers in this platoon immediately collected their guns and repeated the action of stabbing forward. A few stabs fell, and none of the bandits in the front rows were spared, all of them were stabbed to the ground, and some were skewered with sugar gourds.

At this time, the bandits realized that if they kept this distance from the Qi family's army, their one-handed swords would not be able to reach the Qi family's army at all, and the Qi family's army's spears and long bamboo poles were more than a zhang, but they could wantonly assassinate them. If you want to fight back, you have to fight closely.

Therefore, some bandits, who are quite skilled, rely on the advantage of numbers, and rush forward from the gap between the spears, thinking that as long as they rush to the front, the advantage of one-handed sword melee flexibility can be brought into play.

Unfortunately, they had only rushed to within five paces of the pikemen, and were blocked by the bud-like rake. This weapon is no less than three feet cross, and it is covered with iron nails, and it must be pierced into a sieve when it hits it.

At this moment of slight hesitation, the soldiers in the front row of the Qi family's army retreated in unison, widening the distance to about a zhang, and then repeated the action of stabbing, receiving, stabbing, and retracting. And with each repetition, a few more bandits fell to the ground.

The soldier who had been at the rear, armed with a bird's gun, was not idle, and fired at the target further behind. Those bandits were still overwhelmed by the spear array in front, and where could they pay attention to the flying bullets, many of them were beaten in a daze, and they didn't know how to die.

And more than 100 Qi family soldiers who remained in the chariot formation also boarded the chariot one after another and fired bows and arrows at the bandits farther away. Their bows and arrows were well-made, and the range could reach sixty or seventy steps, and they shot exactly where Xiao Laodiao was, and shot down many bandits.

Seeing that the casualties of the bandits in front of him were increasing, the living king couldn't even touch the edge of the car formation, but was driven back by the officers and soldiers lined up in a strange formation, and couldn't help but be afraid, and persuaded Xiao Laodiao again: "Big boss, this can't work, we are not opponents at all!" If you don't withdraw, you'll lose all your money! ”

Xiao Lao Diao struggled to shoot down a sharp arrow that shot at him, stared at his blood-red eyes, and roared hoarsely: "Less nonsense, continue to rush Lao Tzu!" What are the dead afraid of, if you die, you will lose a penny of silver! Don't you see, the officers and soldiers have retreated, and they can't stand it anymore! ”

The Living Yama King looked at it fixedly, and saw that the officers and soldiers had really retreated more than a dozen steps back, and they had almost retreated to the edge of the car formation, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart: They were obviously in the upper hand, why did they retreat? Is it really the end of the crossbow?

In fact, the captains of each squad only heard Qi Meifeng's general order with the sound of drums, and were ordered to retreat a little. Because Qi Meifeng found that after the short ten minutes of fighting just now, the casualties of the bandits in front of the battle had reached thousands, exceeding the total casualties caused by the previous cavalry charge, archer salvo and Franco's machine gun bombardment.

But it is also because of this that there are too many dead and undead bandits who have fallen on the battlefield, which has hindered the performance of the Mandarin Duck Formation. Therefore, she made a quick decision and ordered her soldiers to retreat a little longer, and then vacate a battlefield.

Xiao Laodiao didn't understand the intentions of the officials and soldiers, and thought that his own victory was in sight, so he commanded the remaining bandits and continued to attack the car formation.

But the Living Yama had a careful eye, and instead of rushing forward, he retreated a dozen steps back and retreated beyond the range of his bow and arrows.

He was horrified to see that the officers and troops really began to advance again, and they still used the big shield to resist first, and used long bamboo poles to block the bandits who tried to bypass the big shield, and those with short weapons waited for the opportunity to slash and kill behind the big shield. After the bandits attacked several times in vain, the pikemen attacked again, stabbing and retracting; And the nail rake guards the pikemen and does not let the bandits approach. The firecrackers at the back were still aiming and shooting with impunity.

The whole battle process is the same as just now. And the corpses of the bandits were once again piled up in front of the battle at an alarming speed, faster than cutting wheat!

At this moment, Zhu Youzhen, who had been watching the battle nervously with his neck stretched in the car formation, finally relaxed. Even a layman like him could see that the victory of the Qi family's army was decided, and the rout of the bandits was only a matter of time!

At this time, he also came to his senses, and climbed into a chariot with his hands and feet.

Qi Meifeng saw that he also came up to join in the fun, her heart tightened, and she hurriedly stopped: "Your Highness! This is a battlefield, it's too dangerous! Please get back to the formation quickly! ”

Zhu Youzhen said with a wicked smile: "This king's biggest hobby is to beat the water dogs, and this king's motto is to take advantage of your illness to kill you!" The soldiers were killed so happily, how could this king stand by and watch! Look at me! ”

As he spoke, he took out the flintlock pistol that John Tang gave him from his arms, loaded it with projectiles and gunpowder, and squatted obscenely on the roof of the car as he did in the shooting games of his previous life, looking for a more obvious shooting target in the distance.

Although this flintlock pistol has a short range, it can also shoot more than twenty steps. At this time, the bandits were only concerned about dealing with the mandarin duck formation, and no one noticed that a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy climbed up on the car formation.

Coincidentally, the bandit leader Xiao Lao Diao waved the steel knife in his hand and rushed in this direction. Although Zhu Youzhen didn't know him, he felt that his clothes were the most gorgeous among the bandits, and he was big, making him an excellent target. Immediately squinted his left eye, raised the gun in a three-point line, and pulled the trigger.

only heard the sound of "bang", that Xiao Lao Diao was still shouting wildly, Zhu Youzhen's cold gun came over, and he didn't pay attention at all. It's a pity that this marksmanship was not accurate, and it failed to hit Xiao Laodiao's vital part, and only hit his right shoulder.

Rao is like this, Xiao Lao Diao still feels through the bone marrow, and his collarbone has been shattered by this shot.

At this time, he finally understood that the attack was a complete failure.

"Withdraw! It's all withdrawn! Xiao Laodiao shouted in despair, then covered his shoulders, and took the lead in turning around and fleeing.

When the bandits saw that Xiao Laodiao had run away, who was willing to stay here to die, they immediately dropped their weapons and ran away. The battlefield was like a low tide, and with a hula sound, half of it was empty, and it was really defeated.

Seeing that the soldiers of the Qi family army had finally survived until the enemy army was defeated and retreated, they excitedly shouted in unison: "Victory!" Victory!! ”

Qi Meifeng was finally relieved, and suddenly felt a burst of dizziness, her body went limp, and she almost fell off the chariot.

Zhu Youzhen, who was on the side, was quick-eyed, took her into his arms, and asked with concern, "Meifeng, are you okay?" ”

Qi Meifeng panicked in her heart, and hurriedly struggled to break free and said, "Your Highness! I... The end will be fine! ”

"It's okay! Hurry up and give the order to chase! We've made these bastards sleepy for a day, and now they can't beat them and want to run, but it's not that cheap! Zhu Youzhen said hatefully.

Qi Meifeng hurriedly persuaded: "Your Highness, don't chase after the poor!" ”

Zhu Youzhen stiffened his neck and insisted: "Meifeng, you don't understand this." Don't you hear the poem: It is advisable to chase the poor bravely, not to sell the name of the overlord! ”

Qi Meifeng's beautiful eyes lit up, and she praised sincerely: "Good poem! But Your Highness, Meifeng has never heard of this poem, I don't know who wrote it? ”

Zhu Youzhen's face turned red, and he thought to himself why he had moved the old man's poems over again. He hurriedly covered up: "Now is not the time to talk about this!" If you don't chase it, the bandits will run away! ”

Qi Meifeng also hesitated: "But the soldiers also have casualties, and they have been fighting for more than half an hour, and they are all exhausted..."

"Lord Qianhu, Your Highness is right, our cavalry will chase after you!" Shi Biao came over and shouted for battle.

"Our cavalry will chase it!" Dozens of cavalrymen were also eager to try, looking at Qi Meifeng with eager eyes, "Lord Qianhu, give the order!" ”

"It is advisable to chase the poor bravely, and not to become a famous overlord!" Qi Meifeng recited the famous sentence of the old man she had just heard, and finally made up her mind, "Okay! Shi Biao, you lead the cavalry team to pursue, remember, capture the thief first capture the king! ”
