Chapter 58: The Thief (Part 4)

"What is this?" Fang Guozhen grabbed the monocular in his hand and asked knowingly.

The purpose of this thing, Liu Ji once showed him with his own hands on the first day of his military camp, as an old pirate who has been crisscrossing the water for many years, Fang Guozhen probably knows better than anyone what it means to be able to see a distance of miles more, but all of the above does not prevent him from continuing to pretend to be stupid, not trying to do anything else, just trying to force Liu Bowen to spit out a few more promises in his mouth, so that in the future cooperation, he will take it to bargain with the Huaiyang Governor's Mansion.

Wishful thinking played shrewdly, but it's a pity that he completely found the wrong person, although Liu Bowen was depressed in his career, but he was also born as a jinshi, and he had played in the officialdom for several years, whether it was intelligence or the experience of intrigue with others, he didn't know how many streets, and he refused to answer at all, but continued to close his eyes and pretend to be a fairy.

Fang Guozhen asked three times in a row, but he didn't get a half-word reply, so he had to pout his lips stupidly, raised his monoculars, and began to carefully observe the entire battlefield.

On the right side of the battlefield, there are other pirate elites who are hard to stand on top of all kinds of gourd soldiers, across the sea of people, the musketeers from the Huai'an army and the archers from eastern Zhejiang compete with each other, tilting projectiles and sharp arrows towards each other's heads, the power of the fire gun is huge, almost every round of shooting, can take away hundreds of children of eastern Zhejiang, but the archers take advantage of the shooting, using the armor-piercing cone, at a very close range, It also caused huge damage to the pirates.

On the entire battlefield, the most powerful at this time is still artillery, if it does not fire, it is enough, and the corpses are all over the place, but the reloading degree of the artillery is several points slower than that of the firecracker, and because the soldiers of the enemy and us are completely mixed up at the moment, we have to be more careful, the main reason for this situation is the lack of cooperation between the soldiers of the Fangjia Army and the artillery of the Huai'an Army, if the soldiers of the same Huai'an Army and the artillery of the Huai'an Army are replaced

Thinking of this, Fang Guozhen suddenly shuddered lightly in his heart, and quickly turned the telescope in a different direction, aiming at the Huai'an army that had been killed from Jiangwan New City before, the distance between them and the Zhejiang army was a little far, but they should have been in contact with the Zhejiang army at this time, although the number of the eastern Zhejiang gourd soldiers was large, they were not the main force under the command of Dong Thief, they, they, God, how could they be so fast.

Although he had already brought a few installments in his heart in advance, the situation he saw in his field of vision still made Fang Guozhen open his mouth wide in surprise, the gourd soldiers had collapsed, just in the short time when the Fang Jiajun and the Zhejiang soldiers were in contact with each other for half a pillar of incense, the gourd soldiers from Yixing who were blocked in the east of the battlefield had been beaten upside down, and the battle flag with the word "Wang" written on it had already fallen into the hands of a Huai'an scout, and was dragged back and forth by this person on a war horse, and some were still gathered in a group, It seems that the Mao Hulu soldiers, who are ready to die and struggle, quickly collapsed in front of this badly damaged banner.

"Boom ,,。" "Boom ,,。" "Boom ,,。" "Boom ,,。" The four small cannons behind the position of the Huai'an army suddenly fired a salvo, not aimed at the Maohulu rout, but at the Tanma Red Army that was confronting the Huai'an cavalry not far away.

"Formation, hurry up and form a hard formation on the spot, and then let the cavalry attack the back of the Tanma Red Army in a roundabout way." Although it was impossible for his voice to be heard, Fang Guozhen couldn't help but roar in a low voice.

The Tanma Red Army is not a gourd soldier, whether it is combat effectiveness or will to fight, it is several times or even dozens of times that of the latter, more than 2,000 Huai'an troops and 5,000 Tanma Red Army are facing hard, except for forming a formation and defending, Fang Guozhen can't think of any countermeasures at all.

However, what made his heart beat wildly was that the Huai'an army, which had just defeated the Yixing Mao Hulu soldiers, actually quickly shrank in formation, and then pointed forward with the banner resolutely, and went straight towards the Tanma Red Army, with a thin long snake formation, like a thin embankment, trying to block the oncoming stormy waves.

This is undoubtedly an act of looking for death, because once the two sides are completely strangled in one place and retreat to the Huai'an cavalry on both wings, it will be difficult to help any more, and after the five thousand Tanma Red Army, there are clearly a large number of archers and crossbowmen, through the monoculars, Fang Guozhen can see clearly.

It was useless to see clearly, the distance was too far for him to warn anyone, so he could only continue to watch, and the two teams approached each other quickly, from two hundred steps to one hundred and fifty steps, and then from one hundred and fifty steps to one hundred and twenty steps, one hundred steps, and eighty steps, "Whoosh! Sou! Sou! Sou! Sou! Whoosh!" The archers in the back row of the Tanma Chi army's formation took the lead, shooting a wave of arrows head-on towards the Huai'an army's line, although the distance was very far, Fang Guozhen felt that he still heard the terrifying sound of feathered arrows breaking through the air, and then, he closed his eyes in pain.

"Dangdang, dangdang." The feather arrow flew over a distance of eighty paces, slammed down from mid-air, and smashed into the ranks of the Huai'an army, like rain hitting plantains.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak." Tu Xiaodi, the commander of the battle regiment, struggled to blow the copper whistle in his mouth, then lowered his head and used his helmet to meet the direction of the feather arrow.

Located in the first two rows of the Long Snake Formation, a total of more than 600 soldiers, they also bowed their heads slightly, followed the example of their own regimental commander, and tried their best to use the broad edge of their helmets and front breastplate to face the feathered arrows, and at the same time, continued to move neatly and continued to advance towards the enemy.

The cold-forged steel helmets and cuirass, which bounced most of the feathered arrows upside down, did not cause any damage to the brethren, but occasionally one or two of them happened to be shot at the junction of the breastplate and the armour because of angle problems, or for various other inexplicable reasons, or shot through other weak points that needed to maintain flexibility, causing the arrowjack to fall to the ground.

The vacated place was quickly filled by the soldiers in the back row, and the entire formation, in the face of a storm of sharp arrows, continued to move forward, without anyone stopping or trying to turn around, although some veterans in the ranks, in their stomachs, were already greeting the immediate family of some people.

They scolded the most, usually Huai'an army commander Shi Su Mingzhe, on the weight of power, in the entire system, second only to Zhu General Manager No. 2, because the veterans clearly remember that in March and April last year, each soldier had a set of full-body plate armor to wear, and it was because the surname Su wanted to save money, the whole body armor of all the soldiers was cut off in half, and it became the current kind of only the front is forged for fine iron, and the back is sewn for thin soft pig skin, so that the weight of the armor is indeed reduced by half. But when the battle comes, the soldiers are left with only one direction to march, forward, always facing your enemy forward, otherwise, turn around and die faster.

No one will scold Zhu Chongjiu, although everyone knows that without the permission of General Manager Zhu, the surnamed Su will never dare to act recklessly, but whether it is a recruit or a veteran, they all clearly remember what kind of life they had before they joined the army, it was General Manager Zhu who pulled them out of the pile of displaced people, it was General Manager Zhu who made them eat for the first time, and it was General Manager Zhu who made them feel the taste of being a human being for the first time, so they had to repay General Manager Zhu's kindness like a human being, although General Manager Zhu was always surrounded by all kinds of "traitorous ministers" around him.

"Dangdang, dangdang." The second wave of feather arrows came in the air again, denser and more urgent than the first wave, the warriors of the war regiment, still with their heads down, with their cuirasses and helmets to meet the rain of arrows, marched forward in formation, each warrior in his hand, with a sharp spear, the spearhead is three feet long, there are four edges, the front tip is thick and the back is thick, and finally it becomes a round casing, in the casing, it is connected to a white ash pole five feet long, the thickness of the arm, and the weight of the hand is moderate.

Each spear is erected diagonally in front of the body, gently swinging with the footsteps of the person, one, in doing so, can cover a lot of feathered arrows, for the rear row of firefighters, to provide the maximum range of protection, and second, this is also relatively coordinated and labor-saving, will not affect the angle of the head and the forward movement.

"Boom ,,。" "Boom ,,。" "Boom ,,。" "Boom ,,。" The four small cannons fired another salvo, and this time, they used flowering shells, and a huge explosion sounded in the phalanx of the Tanma Red Army, and four dark red pillars of smoke soared upward.

At least twenty Khitans were killed, and more than a dozen were blown up without arms and legs, lying near the bloody crater rolling and wailing, but for a team of 5,000 people, this number is insignificant, and Xiao Yanzhao, who was following the back of the center of the phalanx, pouted lightly, picked up the drumstick without hesitation, and slammed it on the giant drum in front of him, "Bang." ”

"Knock knock knock." The continuous sound of war drums followed by the dance in the military formation, and the entire Khitan phalanx was added again, seventy steps, sixty steps, fifty steps, "flat spear." "There were generals on horseback who shouted loudly in the procession, and at the same time blew the horn on the side of their mouths, "Woo woo woo, woo woo woo, woo"

"Brush." More than 600 spears were suddenly flattened, and the sharp spear tips were aimed at the chests of the Huai'an soldiers who came over.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh." The third row of feathered arrows rose into the air again, blocking the sunlight overhead, and the archers quickly picked up the fourth, the arrows made entirely of refined steel, and struggled to pull the bowstring to the fullest.

The next round will be the last volley, and they are ready to use the armor-piercing cone to clear the way for their robes and reap the fruits of victory.
