Chapter 102: Killing (End)
Liu Xiaoqi arrived at the right time. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The guards rushed up to resist the Miao reinforcements, and after saving the front army, they fell into a heavy siege, although the reinforcements arrived later, they had already rushed too far and were separated from the reinforcements by the enemy from the middle!
Cao Jinliang gasped, snorted, and stabbed the spear into the left waist of an enemy who was trying to sneak attack his companion at a tricky angle, the man screamed, let go of his weapon and clung to the barrel of the gun, Cao Jinliang kicked it up with all his might, kicking this stubborn enemy away from the barrel of the gun, but because of this, he exposed his back, and was hit by a big man who made iron bones and hammered it towards the vest! If it is solid, it can break Cao Jinliang's spine this time! Serious injuries can be fatal!
But he didn't have a chance to go any further, and a spear deftly poked out and stabbed the big man in the unsuspecting throat! With a sound in his mouth, a pair of heavy bones came out of his hands, and after the spear was stirred, he withdrew without stopping, and the murderer, who was more than five feet tall, lost his support and immediately fell heavily to the ground! Then, without hesitation, a pair of feet stepped over the corpse that was gradually cold in the rain.
Relying on good coordination and superb combat skills, the surrounded guards were supported with difficulty, two by two, two or three groups as a gun formation, the fierce bandits hit their heads in front of the seemingly ordinary formation, and many people looked at these guards who seemed to be extremely tired and about to fall in the next moment, and their feet unconsciously retreated.
Cao Jinliang breathed a sigh of relief, he looked left and right, and many familiar faces had disappeared. He turned his head, but there was no sadness on his face, but coldness and mercilessness. Shaking the tip of the gun, Cao Jinliang felt the rain constantly hitting his face, licked his lips, and roared hoarsely: "I'm in the trap!" ”
The rest of the guards stepped forward in unison, splashing countless muddy water on the ground! Wild echo: "There is death and no life!" ”
For the first time, the bandits, who never knew how to write the words, hesitated in front of the enemy. Many people quietly moved their steps and subconsciously looked at the second brother of the leader.
The second brother's face was gloomy, his eyes were coldly staring at these guards who could not see their faces clearly under the cover of the rain, as if he was completely unaware that the reinforcements of the Ming army were attacking them slowly and firmly, and after a while, he roared violently at the bandits: "Today, if they don't die, we will die!" Send them on their way! ”
But before the bandits could respond, several jars the size of sand bowls fell down in the middle of the crowd! Faintly, you can still see a little twinkling spark! Cao Jinliang's pupils constricted, and he roared hard: "Get down!" As he spoke, he lunged at one of the young guards beside him! The bandits stared blankly at this sudden change, only the second brother suddenly reacted, and before he could learn how the guards fell to the ground, he saw that in the rain curtain, several inconspicuous brown jars exploded in mid-air!
The black powder that was carefully packed into the inside of the jar and carefully purified and carefully made into particles burned out in an instant after being ignited, and then the iron beads wrapped in the gunpowder immediately exploded in the air under the impetus of the gunpowder, shooting towards the bandits who were still upright, although because the black powder was not powerful enough, the killing range was not too large, but within five steps, there was not a single living mouth left!
Liu Xiaoqi finally caught up at the most critical moment. And these jars thrown from their hands are the most powerful weapons that the craftsmen have made at this stage - the improved Heaven-Shaking Thunder. According to the ratio of gunpowder in the "Actual Record of Military Training", after being purified as much as possible, and with some improvement suggestions provided by Li Yongzhong, it is the earth-shattering thunder thrown by Liu Xiaoqi and others.
This time, Li Yongzhong only brought twenty earth-shattering thunders, on the one hand, just in case, on the other hand, this original version of the grenade was quite large, and the lethality was not satisfactory in Li Yongzhong's opinion. In addition to the above, the biggest improvement is also a fuse made of mixed grease, and the craftsman patted his chest and said, as long as it is not pouring rain, he is not afraid that the fire will not be lit! At that time, Li Yongzhong was quite skeptical about this, but now it seems that the craftsman did not exaggerate.
Liu Xiaoqi and the others only brought ten earth-shattering thunderbolts up, and after the first wave threw out five, the bandits were frightened by the explosion - at such a close distance, it was another volley explosion, even if it was black powder, the damage caused by the iron ball was very terrible, and there was almost no good meat on the face of the deceased, and the death was terrifying. The eyes of the originally fierce and terrifying bandits who looked at the guards who were slowly getting up from the ground were full of fear, and the second brother glanced at the bandits in despair, painfully finding that there was no desire to kill in the eyes of these people.
Cao Jinliang spat out a mouthful of blood, holding on to the gun and standing up gaspingly, he stumbled and almost fell, and a strong hand pulled him in time. The tired escort was turning around and saw Liu Xiaoqi's nervous face. He grinned, wanting to smile, but found that he couldn't laugh anyway.
He pushed Liu Xiaoqi away and rushed towards the enemy with a look of fear in his spear. Liu Xiaoqi gritted his teeth, turned around and roared: "Follow me!" The few guards who came up with reinforcements immediately followed without hesitation! The Ming army who came up with Liu Xiaoqi was stunned for a moment, but immediately reacted, raised his sword and shouted to join the charging team.
It's hard to advance in an escaping team, but it's even harder to escape in an advancing team.
Before dark. The rain, which had been raining for almost half a day, finally stopped.
The charge of the guards finally crushed the bandits. The previous fierce and brave enemy was afraid that he would not run fast enough, and under their leadership, the Miao people who could still fight also joined the queue to escape, and the Ming army took the opportunity to cover all the way, except for the opportunity to be fast, and the rest of the people were either killed or captured.
The ambush of nearly 600 Miao and Han Chinese was slaughtered and defeated. After the war, the Ming army searched the battlefield, in addition to collecting weapons, money and food, and cut off the heads of the seriously wounded and corpses, and specially vacated two rack cars for loading, and the lightly wounded prisoners were also strung together and bundled, just to be escorted back to Bijie.
The battle of the Ming army can be called a crushing victory. Hundreds of households Zheng Guocai was seriously injured, and the general banner Zhang under his command was always killed in battle, and several more hundred households were either killed or wounded, except for Feng Baoqun, who was in charge of the rear team, everyone was injured, if you add the casualties of the previous ambush, the Ming army can be said to be more than half of the casualties.
Originally, the plan of the Ming army - and Li Yongzhong's plan - was to defeat the Miao with firearms and guns, and then they took the opportunity to rush up and kill. But the sudden rain disrupted all the arrangements. The firecracker is unusable, but the number of Miao people is even greater than expected! Finally, there is a group of fierce Han people with armor who don't know the origin!
If it weren't for the effective training of the Ming army under Chen Xianda, and the hatred of the enemy because of being cut off from returning, it is very likely that it would not be able to support it at all. But there is another point - this guard, which was not favored by the Ming army at all before, played the role of a needle that could be called the anchor of the sea. They held their ground when the Ming army wavered, rushed forward to rescue the friendly forces without hesitation at the most dangerous time, and finally they dragged most of the new forces, relying on the sudden arrival of support to defeat the fierce opponent in one fell swoop, causing the final collapse of the enemy.
"This battle ......" Liu Xiaoqi paused slightly--after Cao Jinliang was seriously injured, he appointed Liu Xiaoqi to temporarily take his place, and now he was reporting to Li Yongzhong on the casualties of the escort - and then continued to read with great difficulty: "There are sixty-four who went into battle, twenty-three were killed in battle, eleven were seriously wounded, and the rest were slightly wounded......
Li Yongzhong was silent.
Liu Xiaoqi had to continue. He licked his lips nervously, coughed, and read intermittently: "We didn't participate in the battlefield capture, but Feng Baihu personally came to say hello, except for the first rank, other money, food, and weapons, let's divide them in half with the officers and soldiers......"
Li Yongzhong suddenly interrupted Liu Xiaoqi and asked firmly, "Why don't you divide the heads?!" He stood up from the maza, glared at Liu Xiaoqi angrily and asked, "Who said that there is no head!?" ”
Liu Xiaoqi looked at him stunned, and only after a while did he speak timidly: "What did Feng Baihu say...... He said that we are not officers and soldiers after all...... It's useless to divide the head......"
Then Li Yongzhong's earth-shattering roar exploded in this corner: "I. Day. He. Ancestors! Says who! Feng Baoqun! Would he dare to say it again in front of me! This is what my brothers fought so hard to kill! Useless! I see that his eggs are useless, so why don't you cut them! ”
The nearby Ming army hid far away and didn't dare to touch his head, Chen Mingjiang went to Chen Xianda's place, and the other officers were killed and wounded, and now the one who can take care of things is Feng Baoqun, a good old man who is happy on weekdays, and he is also here in Chen Xianda, reporting the losses and captures of the whole army to Qianhu.
"At present, there are less than 300 people alive, and there are more than 100 wounded soldiers among them." Feng Baoqun's face was heavy, and he sighed and said: "Several hundred households, Qian Chuan is dead, Hou Degui is dead - these two were killed by Zhong Guan'er, Qian Chuan didn't say it, Hou Degui is said to have been ...... when he escaped yesterday" He shook his head, skipped the topic, and then continued: "Zhou Qian is seriously injured, Zheng Guocai is seriously injured, and there are a few, either on the arm or on the back, speaking of which, except for the people I am guarding behind, there is no good person." ”
When he said this, the good old man was a little sad, coughed twice and cleared his throat, speaking of capturing the head, Feng Baoqun finally had some spirit: "More than 50 people were captured, more than 70 heads were chopped, and the remaining barbarians saw that the opportunity was not good, and they ran away with oil on the soles of their feet, we really don't have the strength to chase ......" Speaking of this, he was a little regretful, "If the sons and daughters still have strength, the harvest can be more." ”
"That's a lot now." Chen Xianda sat upright with the help of Chen Mingjiang and said with a lack of energy. The three civil officials had been with him all the time, but when the battle gradually ended, they helped to collect and transport the wounded, count the results of the battle, and were busy.
"Originally, I thought about it, I don't know if there is a chance to go back, but I didn't expect God to be gracious and ask me to pick up a life...... "Chen Xianda sighed, looked at Feng Baoqun who was hesitant and asked: "Old Feng, if you have something to say, what else can't be said now." ”
Feng Baoqun was about to speak, when he heard a fierce shouting and scolding from outside the tent: "Feng Baoqun! Get the hell out of here! ”
Baihu officials were stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, and arched his hand at Chen Xianda: "Qianhu, what I want to say, he came by himself." (To be continued.) )
