The attack of the native soldiers woke up the sleeping Ming army. Although it is late at night, it is not very far from dawn, it is the most sleepy time of the day, most of the soldiers sleep sweetly, and are awakened by a sudden attack in their dreams, many people are drowsy in the nightmare, and the brain immersed in the drowsiness is not very bright, except for a few who have always been shrewd to grab their weapons and prepare for battle, the rest of the people are running and shouting regardless of it.www.biquge.info

"Don't mess around! Don't mess around! Zhou Qian was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and he grabbed a soldier who was running around like a headless fly and fell to the ground, kicked him again, and yelled at him: "Why are you faint!" The soldiers next to him followed his example, and slashed at the panicked soldiers with their scabbards without saying a word, shouting: "Kill the rebels!" Kill the rebels! ”

Guan Laoer's raid was half successful, except for Team D, the other three teams of Ming troops involuntarily fell into a panic, but after all, they were not ordinary officers and soldiers, several team officers were not slow to react, and immediately cleaned up a few soldiers who were running around and shouting, and the chief sentry finally came back to their senses, and quickly gathered their soldiers to calm down, which calmed the situation. A moment later, the hastily assembled soldiers rushed to the front with their weapons to reinforce Team D.

Alarmed by the sudden attack, Team D only had time to line up three columns of musketeers in front of the camp, but the first thing they faced was not the native soldiers, but a rain of arrows flying from the sky! Many soldiers fell to the ground with a muffled snort, and the shaft of the arrow that was inserted into the human body and kept shaking was no different from that used by the officers and soldiers! It is completely different from the power of the bamboo bow encountered before. Fortunately, almost all the members of the D team wore armor and wore helmets, and many conceited and healthy soldiers not only put waist-length armor on the outside of the mandarin duck jacket, but also wore the previous set of deep Dai armor, so although there were not many people who were hit by arrows, there were still a few people who were seriously injured because of this.

Liu Xiaoqi gritted his teeth, gasped for air, pulled out the arrow inserted in his left arm and threw it on the ground. There are nail leaves to obstruct it, and the arrow does not penetrate the flesh deeply, but it is just a flesh wound. But it seems that he can fire a round of arrows within thirty steps of the charge, and this is the first time he has encountered it since he entered Guizhou! Compared to the barbarians I've seen before, this group of enemies is much better equipped, if nothing else!

"Queue up! Movable wounded soldiers run from left to right and backwards! Liu Xiaoqi shouted, ignoring the bleeding wounds and standing in the first row of the fire gun queue, and then he shouted, "Fire gun load!" "Ignoring the approaching enemy, he opened the lock and opened the lid of the medicine pool, took out the paper shell bullet and bit it in his mouth to pour the gunpowder into it, then erected the barrel and poured the remaining gunpowder into the muzzle, and then stuffed the lead bullet the size of green grapes into the barrel along with the paper shell, pulled out the strip under the barrel and inserted it into the muzzle and pumped it up and down repeatedly. plug until the bullet is completely pushed to the bottom, and at this time, with the light of the bonfire, you can even easily see the fierce faces of those Yi people in green clothes and green pants!

"Shoot!"

Except for a few unlucky ghosts, the flint in the hands of the others successfully ignited the gunpowder in the medicine pool, and then the lead bullet rotated in the direction of the rifling under the thrust of the gunpowder, and then successfully hit the first soldier in less than twenty paces. After the gunshots rang out, a strong smell of blood immediately filled the air, and even blood could be seen on the flesh. The body bloomed, bringing out a rain of blood. At this distance, the lightest of the soldiers who were shot were also broken tendons, and the same was true for the three guns. After three rounds, the native soldiers threw down more than 20 corpses in front of the Ming army's camp.

Guan Lao Er was almost angry and vomited blood when he saw it in the back! He didn't think about it, and roared loudly and ordered: "Rush up for me immediately!" The firebolt is no longer usable! The so-called general demeanor was gone, and he ordered the guards to take their scabbards and hit the hesitant native soldiers on the backs, not allowing them to retreat, and promised loudly: "Kill a Ming dog and give a reward of three taels of silver!" Kill a dog officer, give ten taels! ”

The stimulation of the silver really boosted the morale of the native soldiers! And the dead companion seemed to stab the ferocity of the native soldier more and more, and with a pair of red eyes, he rushed towards the thin queue of the Ming army while shouting the native words that the soldiers could not understand! The archers were also temporarily organized to draw their bows and shoot on their backs, and the Ding team gave the native soldiers a real dismount with a firecracker, and they were immediately greeted by a rain of arrows splashing with water! This round of arrows is more urgent and faster than the one just now, and at such a close distance, even a double layer of armor can't resist it, and someone will die on the spot!

Fortunately, at this time, the first few teams of Ming troops had also caught up. There are no archers in the Ding team, but according to the requirements of the Ming army, there are only a lot more archers in the other teams, these people have been in battle for a long time, and they don't need to be ordered to draw their bows and send arrows in return, and they will immediately shoot the Yi people into a ghost howl! But the bow and arrow can only shoot this round, because soon these fierce barbarians will turn over and pounce on the rejection horse!

Because the camp of the Ming army is halfway up the mountain, the mountain is only ten or so steps wide, even though the number of native soldiers is twice as large as that of the Ming army, but in the face of such terrain, the two sides can directly face each other, but there are only ten or twenty people! At this time, whether it was a firearm or a bow and arrow, it was completely useless, and the soldiers with different colors on both sides looked at each other through a waist-high rejection horse, as if they were breathing and reaching for each other!

For a moment, the battlefield seemed to be quiet!

"Shoot them out!" I don't know who shouted, the musketeers in the front row flashed to the back, and the pikemen just met them, and at this time they didn't pay attention to any formation, and the pikemen just stood still, just stabbing the native soldiers with big guns. If you stab three or four guns, you can stab the barbarians on the opposite side like blood gourds!

The rejection of the horse, which was originally thought to be a superfluous move, played a huge role at this time. This rudimentary fortification, bundled with hemp rope, added an obstacle to the attack of the native soldiers. The spear in their hands is just a bamboo gun, in order to ensure the strength and flexibility of the length is less than five feet, and the main opponent of the native soldiers, the big gun in the hands of the D team is a hardwood gun, the gun alone is more than five feet long, and the head of the gun is a foot.

There were only six or seven horses in front of this temporary camp, all of which were made of makeshift coarse bamboo bundles before the previous night's camp, and were wedged deep into the ground with a large wooden mallet according to the experience of the Ming army. The native soldiers suffered again in the length of the bamboo spears, and if they wanted to attack, they had to stick themselves to the horses as best they could, or simply turn them over! However, almost all the soldiers of the D team are old partners, with tacit understanding, three or two people guard behind the rejection of the horse, and there are other Ming soldiers in the middle of the deficiency to supplement, and the rejection of the horse is strictly guarded!

A soldier of the D team pulled the spear from the opponent who was already dying, and let the enemy fall on the horse with convulsions, the young man did not have time to breathe, and saw a barbarian with a bamboo spear stabbed out, right in the middle of the immature face of the Yi people's chest and abdomen, the Yi people distorted their faces because of pain, let out a hissing and lung-splitting roar, and when they were about to die, they let go of their weapons and used their last strength to hold the soldier's gun barrel to prevent him from pulling it out, and several bamboo guns immediately followed and stabbed several blood holes in the soldier's body, and he couldn't live when he saw it!

Seeing this, several Yi people around let out a terrible roar, and then did not hesitate to follow the practice of their companions, and the soldiers on the opposite side were also aroused by blood, many people would never let go even if they were shot, but used their last bit of strength to move forward, so that the bamboo spear pierced deeper in the body, so that the companion took the opportunity to stab a few more shots!

Scenes like this are constantly being played out. Although the combat strength of Team D far exceeds that of ordinary soldiers, and they are not afraid of life and death, there are too many barbarians on the opposite side, it seems endless, one dies, and the other pounces on his corpse! Or just like the young Yi man just now, even if he dies, he will take the life of his opponent! For a moment, this thin line of defense seemed to be crumbling, and it would soon be crushed by the barbarians like a tide!

At this moment, the Ming army, which had been in a panic before, finally almost settled down! Zhou Qian's C team is the closest to the D team, he is the first other team officers to arrive, there are many rough soldiers in the team who like to use weapons such as iron bones, seeing that they can't squeeze in front, they simply tie a thick rope to the handle of the bones, and throw them out to the crowd of native soldiers behind the people, and the native soldiers wear a layer of cloth clothes, and they suffer a big loss in a hurry!

But after all, there are many native soldiers, and such a narrow terrain is not conducive to the use of bones. After a while, many people threw out the bones, so they had to take their spears and stab them indiscriminately. Compared with the tacit cooperation of the soldiers of the D team, the marksmanship of these reinforced Ming troops was clumsy and unfamiliar, and there was no concept of mutual cover. Fortunately, there are a lot of native soldiers on the opposite side, and even if you close your eyes, you can stab a few to death, which is somewhat useful.

The two sides fought fiercely across the horses. For the native soldiers, as long as they can tear through this thin line of defense, they can sweep the entire Ming army camp in an instant; For the Ming army, their number was far less than that of the Yi people, and once they couldn't hold the horse and let the barbarians rush in, the consequences would be unimaginable! Therefore, both parties are willing to sacrifice their lives and forget to die, even if they are colleagues from other teams who have a lot of slander on weekdays, although they are reluctant, they are actually struggling to support themselves!

But this Dao Ming army thought that the rejection horse it relied on was just hastily made, and it was already overwhelmed under repeated squeezing, and made a squeaking alarm, but on the battlefield, who could hear it? Therefore, when a certain rejection horse suddenly fell apart, both sides were stunned! Then a cheer full of joy and joy broke out among the native soldiers, and without waiting for the Ming army on the opposite side to react, they immediately rushed over!

The one who was responsible for defending behind this scattered rejection horse was one led by Liu Xiaoqi. Seeing this situation, Liu Xiaoqi had no time to think about it, and with the instinct cultivated by long-term training, he immediately shouted decisively: "Two columns!" Squat down in the front row! ”

Half of the soldiers crouched down on the spot pointed their spears diagonally, while the other half of the soldiers standing behind raised their spears flat and stabbed them forward! The local soldiers originally thought that the Ming army on the opposite side would immediately break and flee with a wolf howl, but they didn't expect that just a few people would still be bold, and even more courageous! In just a breath, the charging native soldiers crashed into the two columns of spears that appeared in place of the rejecting horses! The soldiers were staggered and staggered, but they supported themselves with one leg of the back pedal as much as possible, and in just a few breaths, almost all the soldiers in the front row were stabbed by bamboo guns, covered in blood, and could barely support them anymore, but the little time they won was enough for the other comrades to load their guns, and seven or eight guns stretched out from behind the gun formation, and after two rounds of deafening platoon guns, a gap was cleared, which was extremely conspicuous in this crowded line of defense!

Just when many soldiers of the D team couldn't help but think that today was the day they died in battle, the Yi native soldiers on the opposite side couldn't support it. Unlike the Han army, which mainly fought in formations, these alien soldiers called wolf soldiers by the Ming court only relied on personal courage and temporary blood to fight, and could not last, and were accustomed to fighting with the wind, as long as the battle did not go well, most of them could not hold on, and it would not take too long to collapse on their own. This native soldier thought that it could easily tear through the seemingly thin defense line of the Ming army, but he didn't expect the officers and troops in front of him to be so tenacious! Even if you are shot several times, you are still not afraid!

This native soldier is known as the elite of the army, but in fact, although its courage and combat power far exceed that of ordinary people, it is not much stronger than ordinary Tusi soldiers in terms of tenacity. Since the Ming army on the opposite side could tolerate casualties better than them, the morale of the native soldiers quickly deteriorated, and they were unwilling to fight such an enemy again. Therefore, although Guan Lao Er frantically cursed these defeated native soldiers and ordered them to rush forward to fight again, even if they promised heavy benefits, no Yi people looked at him.

Team D watched in amazement as the barbarians who had been fighting with them for their lives retreated like a tide after a few shouts. The soldier who killed with red eyes and hot brains didn't want to turn over the horse and follow the pursuit, but no one dared to turn around to fight, but ran faster! It's as if those brave and fearless people before have disappeared in an instant! Team Ding watched the opponent's figure disappear into the sparse woods at the bottom of the mountain, stunned for a moment, and suddenly burst into a burst of cheers that soared into the sky! The soldiers were so excited that their faces turned red, and they hugged their companions around them and cheered and jumped, and many of them even threw their helmets into the sky!

Li Yongzhong wiped a handful of blood from his face, ignored the blood stains everywhere on the ground, and sat down. He was at the front, and he almost called a few barbarians to stab him with one shot! In the end, Chen Mingjiang and Liu Xiaoqi and a few other personal soldiers dragged him to the back alive, and he was not allowed to go further! Li Yongzhong scolded a few people to the point that it was useless, and his own soldiers dragged him to death, and finally had to watch Chen Mingjiang and Liu Xiaoqi reflexively squeeze to the front of the defense line!

Zhou Qianshen walked over with one shallow foot at a time, and sat down beside him without paying attention, breathing heavily and quickly. Because he was closest to Team D, when he was just fighting, most of the Ming troops who were reinforced were brought by him, and the armor on their bodies was not as good as Team D, so although they did not bear the main pressure, the casualties were not easy.

"Team Officer Li, I want to thank you for this!" Zhou Qian was silent for a moment, and then said angrily: "If you hadn't had to do such a few rejections last night, I'm afraid we would be dead now!" ”

"Nothing!" Li Yongzhong replied to him: "Everyone is in the same boat, if there is only Team Ding, today will be as fierce and auspicious." When we go out, we all have to take care of each other! ”

Zhou Qian pursed his lips when he heard this. He stood up without saying a word, bowed his head and said to Li Yongzhong: "Today, my fate was saved by Team Officer Li, Lao Zhou is a rough man, and he can't say beautiful words, only in the future, Team Officer Li will be able to use my place, just words!" If I'm half a step slower by then, you can just pump it up with a big ear scraper!" (To be continued.) )
