Chapter 131: The First Battle (End)
If anyone could look down from mid-air, he would see that the Ming army was gradually falling into a bitter battle, and the Yi native soldiers in Tsing Yi were forcing them back to the center and surround them by virtue of their numerical superiority. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but on the other side of this encirclement that has not yet been fully formed, the D team of less than 100 people marched forward bravely with a posture of life and death, under the leadership of the sentry commander Liu Xiaoqi, the first sentry at the front listened to the spear in his hand, and resolutely expelled the native soldiers who dared to stop in front of them with only one face, this red-hot blade cut into the ranks of the Yiren effortlessly, and even frantically and firmly tried to surround the native soldiers who were more numerous than them!
Cao Jinliang gave Li Yongzhong's personal soldiers a death order, not allowing the team officer to go to the front, but he himself jumped to the front happily with a spear. Li Yongzhong looked at this subordinate who threw away the responsibility of command and immersed himself in the battle, and scolded angrily: "No one can be more treacherous than Cao Jinliang!" Then with a solemn expression, the order was issued without stagnation: "Pass the order, the first post just move forward, and those who dare to stand in the way can just stab it with a shot, don't stop!" ”
Then he jumped onto a certain piece of bluestone and hurriedly glanced at the lively battlefield, and casually ordered a certain personal soldier who was following him: "Go and tell Chen Mingjiang that the three of the second sentry will use fire guns to open the way first!" Then let go and hit the east! Surrounding that side are the people of Team Officer Zhou! The soldier replied loudly, and immediately turned around and rushed down to give the order. Li Yongzhong jumped down from the stone, waved his hand to the remaining three tithes, and shouted very quickly and harshly: "Let's kill from the west!" As long as someone stands in the way, it will be punished as a collision with the military formation! ”
The soldiers immediately shouted loudly, Li Yongzhong took a deep breath, the green tendons on his hand holding the spear burst out, and the soldiers next to him closely guarded him in the middle, and the young officer shouted: "Go!" "When the first rushed towards a group of Yi people who looked nervous and came to intercept them, the spear in his hand did not hesitate to send forward, and immediately there was a barbarian in Tsing Yi screamed, he collapsed his shoulders and sank his waist, his feet took root and force, the hard gun shaft was bent by the weight of the front end, and then stiffened violently, and actually picked the Yi man out alive!
The morale of the soldiers was boosted! Dozens of people had wind under their feet, and without hesitation, they accelerated past him. Whoever dared to stop their advance, whoever it was, the soldiers would be the first to stab them with a spear without saying a word! The nervousness and fear of the initial battle were gradually replaced by excitement and fanaticism, and the hands that were still trembling before settled down at some point, and when this group of brave and fearless warriors reacted, there was more than a zhang of open space around them, and the Yi people huddled together with fear, holding their weapons and cowering. The young soldier was killed, his breath was as thick as a whirring bellows, the eight-petal hat and helmet on his head were not lost, and the armor was torn open, and his face was covered with blood, only a pair of black and white eyes were particularly clear! He was hot and his hands were damp, and he shouted at the enemy on the other side without thinking: "Come on! Barbarians! ”
A dark-faced Yi man jumped out, he tore off his cyan coat, his bare upper body, let the blood of the rolled wounds flow all over his body, shouted an obscure local language to the clansmen behind him, and brandished a heavy goose-winged knife and strode towards the young soldier! Driven by this brave warrior, the Yi people, who had been stagnant, shouted a local word in unison, and then rushed towards the enemy without hesitation!
No one on the battlefield can be an exception, Li Yongzhong also formed a five-person combat team with the guards and soldiers, and the soldiers paired up in pairs, protecting him in the middle and fighting all the way, just as he bumped into the Yi people in front of him! The eldest of the five people called Chen Daniu's personal soldier out of the gun, stabbed towards the enemy's left armpit, the other party had to return the knife to knock the spear, but because of this, a boss was exposed, and Chen Daniu's tacit partner stabbed into the right waist, this partner is not very old, but the experience is very old, feeling that after piercing the opponent's body, the hand exerted force, stirred up the soft internal organs before pulling back sharply, and took the spear back in his hand!
They didn't look at the enemy who had fallen in the dust, more enemies had already pounced, and their own soldiers gradually fell into a bitter battle, and they had no time to take care of Li Yongzhong, who was originally guarded by death in the middle! The Yi man who seemed to be the leader had been peeking at the side for a long time, and at this time, he suddenly became difficult, kicked his feet, and rushed into the gap at the moment when his companions attracted the attention of his own soldiers, and just happened to meet the young team officer! A twisted and vicious smile appeared on his dark face, and a strangely shaped Tosa machete was about to be cut straight at Li Yongzhong's shoulder!
Li Yongzhong's face was expressionless, his expression became more and more calm, and he only gently handed the spear in his hand upward, and the holster made of stainless steel just hit the blade, making a tooth-aching metal collision sound, bringing out a string of bright sparks! The team officer did not stop, his shoulders exerted force, a low roar came out of his mouth, and the hand holding the barrel of the gun shook violently, and it was just knocking on the blade, and it was a big gap in sight! The Yi man couldn't hold the machete anymore, and his intuition was about to fly out of his hand!
The Yi people roared wildly, simply threw away their weapons, and grabbed Li Yongzhong's spear with both hands! If he catches him and loses his weapon on the battlefield, he may lose his life the next moment! The pro-soldiers next to him couldn't save him at this time, Chen Daniu caught a glimpse of it, and was so anxious that he almost vomited blood, and roared again and again: "Protect the team officer!" "Desperately moving towards Li Yongzhong's side regardless of his safety, he has to block all attacks with his flesh and blood! Li Yongzhong came up bloodily, did not retreat, but advanced, let go of the spear, deceived the barbarian, shrunk into the other party's arms, I don't know when the short dagger drew the knife in his hand, inserted the knife between the chest and abdomen, stirred hard, and then drew the knife and retreated!
The sturdy Yi man covered his wound in pain, he stared at Li Yongzhong deadly, the ground under him was quickly stained red with blood, and then he fell face down to the ground.
The accent was obscure, and the panicked voice sounded out in a mess: "The leader of Tuha is dead!" "General Tuha was killed by Ming Dog!" "The master is dead! The master is dead! And those originally brave and fearless Yi people showed timidity, in the Ming army's step-by-step advance, I don't know who was the first to throw away their weapons, but soon, more and more Yi people threw away their swords, guns and armor, and fled in a panic in various directions that seemed to be the way to live!
Li Yongzhong immediately said: "Pass my order!" Don't hesitate, chase and kill immediately! Take advantage of this opportunity to kill the barbarians without leaving a single piece of armor! ”
The news of Tuha's death in battle has not yet reached further afield on the battlefield. And earlier, Chen Xianda's half of the second sentry first went down with three rounds of guns to kill a gap in the dense crowd, and then one by one the three or five people's gun arrays cooperated with each other, and easily expanded the gap with the posture of mercury, when the news of Tuha's death was finally mixed with the surging sound, although Chen Mingjiang did not understand the meaning of this sentence, he keenly found panic and fear on the faces of the Yi people opposite, and the former leader of the pro-army immediately roared: "The barbarians are defeated!" The barbarians are defeated! The three men of the second whistle shouted at the same time: "The barbarian is defeated!" ”
Zheng Guocai, who was besieged in the middle, faintly heard a few faint roars. But on the battlefield, the clashing of weapons, the painful groans of the dying, and the constant roars of the soldiers in fear and excitement made the distant shouts even more faint. He was shocked, grabbed a personal soldier and asked eagerly: "I just heard someone shouting that the barbarian is defeated!" Did you hear that? ”
The soldiers were covered with blood, shortness of breath, and their whole body was almost out of strength, and they didn't react when they heard Zheng Guocai's question for the first time, and they didn't hear it clearly until the second time, coughing, and said in a hoarse voice: "The little one seems to hear the front shouting that the barbarian is defeated......" Before he finished speaking, his legs were weak and he was about to fall!
Zheng Guocai grabbed this exhausted soldier and put him on the ground, and shouted with all his strength: "Sons! Reinforcements are coming! The barbarians are defeated! Kill! Then, like a mad tiger, he didn't look at the Yi people who were surrounding him, brandishing his weapon and trying desperately to approach in the direction of the sound!
Guan Lao Er pulled the waist knife out of the corpse of a Ming soldier, the corners of his eyes twitched, his face was pale, he stared blankly at the Yi people everywhere who were gradually unable to resist, and said to himself with shaking lips: "How did it become like this?" How so? Obviously I won! Obviously I won! ”
There are only some Yi soldiers or bandits around him, where is the slightest loyalty? Seeing that he looked crazy, they all quietly retreated, and a few of them blended into the crowd, and after a while, they could no longer see their figures. A leader of the Yi people hurriedly came to him to ask for advice, grabbed him, and asked like a cannon: "Second brother!" What now? This bright dog is too fierce! The babies can't resist it! ”
As if in a dream, he repeated the question as if he couldn't understand: "Can't resist? ”
"Everything is going well in the first place, although Minggou can fight better than the baby, but there are fewer of us! Everything was going well, but then a squad of soldiers was killed......" A shadow of fear quickly drifted across the face of the leader who spoke, and he swallowed. He said in a dry voice: "It's not surprising, and there aren't many people, but I can't stop it!" The Tuha leader brought people over and told them to be stabbed to death with one shot! Later, the Tuha leader personally led people there, but he was killed by this group of people! ”
"Killed?!" Guan Lao Er shuddered, and his teeth collided up and down uncontrollably, making a gurgling sound. He looked at the leader of the report in disbelief, and he didn't care about being afraid, gritted his teeth and asked, "Tuha is such a heroic person?" Who can kill him!? Disturb the morale of the army, be careful that I cut off your head! ”
When the leader saw him like that, he was so angry that he scolded: "Phew! I think you're a man, but you're a coward! The leader of Tuha just asked Minggou to kill, but you still don't believe it! Before, you also said that this time the plan was foolproof, but now? Second, you must know that we are not ordinary villagers, we are the clansmen of Marshal Grasshopper! ”
The two of them were still arguing with themselves, but the situation had irretrievably fallen towards the Ming army. Liu Xiaoqi's armor post encountered the most enemies in the middle of the road, and therefore the slowest speed, and when they cut through the Yi people, they finally made contact with the Ming army, which was about to be unable to support it. Zhou Qian was too seriously injured, and he was desperately rescued by the loyal pro-soldiers, and it would be a little later, and there would be one less officer in the Xianzi battalion! Liu Xiaoqi hurriedly took the hemostatic medicine out of his arms, and quickly wrapped the bandage, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, and gave Zhou Qian's personal soldiers some instructions, asking them to quickly take Zhou Qian and the wounded soldiers to retreat outside, while Liu Xiaoqi himself led people to continue to kill all the way.
The hot-tempered leader of the Yi people was still entangled, Guan Lao Er saw that the killing sound was getting closer and closer, but the leader seemed to be ignorant, pestering him, and the spit was about to fly to his face! Guan Lao Er couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, and suddenly raised his hand and slashed at the neck of the leader! The blood that was still steaming immediately splashed his face! The leader was defenseless against him, his throat gurgled, blood foamed everywhere at the corners of his mouth, he stared at Guan Lao Er, and finally died!
The people around him looked at him dumbfounded, Guan Lao Er slashed the leader to death, and blood splashed on his face and came to his senses. He wanted to say something, but closed his mouth in the suspicious and fearful eyes of the people around him, and finally Guan Lao Er took a breath, looked around expressionlessly, and said coldly: "Ming Dog is going to be killed under his nose, what are you doing in a daze?!" If you don't obey my military orders, this guy will be the end! ”
He put on such a tough style, but many people took action and ran back and forth. Someone else came and moved the leader's body aside. Although no one spoke, for a while, the atmosphere inexplicably eased. Guan Lao Er was angry in his heart, he was still a little ignorant, but he suddenly realized that such a tough and unreasonable image may be more useful than the previous style of a copycat big brother.
But it's too late to say that now.
The defeat was like a mountain. Li Yongzhong sighed. He hadn't had time to see the real ancient wars yet, but he thought that the so-called defeated army would be about the same everywhere. Before the crossing, the army that Li Yongzhong was familiar with was famous for its fighting spirit of fighting to the death and not retreating, and preferring to die rather than be captured.
But now he knew that the difference between these two armies, which had been separated by hundreds of years, was really different from heaven and earth.
Because of the small number of troops, the D team did not cause too many casualties. But because Team D's weapons are all spears, their lethality is much stronger than the messy waist knives and bones of the Ming army, and there are not many serious injuries under the gun, let alone minor injuries. But as far as Li Yongzhong observed, the total number of corpses with gunshot wounds on his body added up to less than 200! Coupled with the damage of the firecracker, in this battle, the casualties caused by the Ding team were not three hundred!
But it was these casualties of less than 300 that completely destroyed the Yi people's will to fight. The fact that less than 30 percent of the total casualties caused a demoralization collapse was incredible, even to the D team themselves. Many soldiers were halfway through the killing, when they saw the barbarians on the opposite side suddenly throw away their weapons, leave their backs to the soldiers, and then spread their legs and ran faster than one another! Fear that you will run slower than your companions! (To be continued.) )
