Chapter 200: Small Victory Liwei
The neighing, screaming and the sorrowful sound of the horses were intertwined, which made Li Ying become extraordinarily sober, his heart was dripping blood, the old camp horse team was not only Wang Zishun and Wang Zimeng's horse team, it was also his Li Ying's horse team. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
But now that the horse team has suffered heavy casualties, Wang Zishun is not easy to explain, and he has lost his majesty.
Thinking that he would be overwhelmed by the rest of the horse team commanders in the future, he was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle in his heart, whether to retreat to preserve his strength, or to fight to the death to make a great contribution?
But the official army in front of him is only 200 infantry troops, even if it is defeated, others will think that it is an ordinary officer and soldier, where will it be a great achievement, under the situation, Li Ying has to think for himself.
The battle had already begun, and the warriors of the Yong'an Army were in a tight shield array, with the front sword and player using their shields to protect the pikemen and musketeers behind.
The guns of the Yong'an army pierced back and forth between the gaps in the shield or up and down, and the horse team felt like facing a hedgehog in the face of such a formation, and they had no way to start, and the initial carelessness also made their horse advantage completely lost.
Shi Gang, who was the sentry commander, actually acted as a sword player in front of the formation, which was rare in other places in the Ming Dynasty.
But this is commonplace in the Yong'an Army, and every sentry commander and commander of the Yong'an Army is promoted from the accumulation of military merits, and naturally no one is a bad seed.
This also makes the soldiers of the first post more courageous to be the first, as a Shangguan, Shi Gang can still act as the forefront, how can they not fight bravely to kill the enemy to gain credit for themselves, and return home to glorify their ancestors.
The rooker horses left a corpse on the ground, and the embarrassed horses left the shield formation.
Receiving heavy blows, they prepared to adjust their formation, and they drove their horses to more than 20 steps in front of the shield formation, constantly calming the horses and adjusting their positions to prepare for the next round of impact.
But how could Liu Tong in the back let them adjust the charging formation like this?
The Liukou horse team was within the shooting range of the three-eyed gun, and Liu Tong shouted without hesitation: "Aim and shoot for Lao Tzu, everyone has made meritorious contributions and went home for the New Year!" ”
The firecrackers practiced shooting, outfitting, and changing formations every day, and for a long time, they had been perfecting the three-stage strike tactics taught by Xiao Yi.
At this time, they were like a machine with maximum power, firing from the first column and then retreating to the back to reload, while the second column of musketeers immediately stepped forward, without much interruption, and everyone had only a few things on their minds, loading, aiming, firing, and reloading......
The current peasant army is only in the initial stage, even the old battalion is rarely heavily armoured, at most it is neatly armored, and they all have some fists and feet and combat experience.
The rogue horsemen, who had originally wanted to change their formation and charge the formation again, immediately became frightened when they heard the continuous noise, and even their horses were screaming in panic, unable to calm down.
The sound of fire guns burst out, many people fell in response, and some people were hit on the head, and their brains burst suddenly, and a disgusting smell spread.
Rogues but all those who were hit were miserable, without heavy armor protection, they almost used their flesh and blood to resist fire, and each person who fell down had more or less some blood holes on their bodies, and those who were hit in the face were even more exposed to the white facial bones, which looked like skeletons.
Under tremendous pressure and fear, they looked at the shield array of officers and soldiers who were still standing still, and when they saw the officers and soldiers take out the small bamboo tube again, they all seemed to be frightened by something, and some of them couldn't stop shaking.
The rout finally began, and it didn't take much time to go from a few escapes to a total rout.
Whether it was the Liukou or the horses under them, they all had a feeling that it was impossible to break through the shield array of the Yong'an Army at this moment, and they no longer dared to rush forward.
The Liukou, who was originally adjusting the formation, turned into a big rout this time, with more than 300 horse teams, and the losses of the Yong'an Army were close to 200 after a slight contact, and the officers and soldiers still did not react.
The half-length shield stood there steadily, as if mocking the incompetence of the rogue.
The 300-old battalion horse team was defeated by 200 officers and soldiers, this was the first time, but this time it was Li Ying who caught up, and then he had to take advantage of the situation to order a retreat.
The rogue bandits left behind the corpses in one place and hurriedly withdrew to the camp, while the shield array of the Yong'an Army outside them was still standing quietly there, and the officers and soldiers behind them all looked at the rogue in the camp opposite with cold eyes.
……
Wang Zimeng and the others were talking and laughing in the big tent, and some people were even gambling, betting on how long Li Ying could defeat the officers and soldiers, and how many ranks, and no one thought about failure, as if this word was far away from them.
Suddenly, there was a sudden shouting of killing outside, followed by several series of loud noises, and then a loud noise that resounded through the sky.
"It seems that Commander Li is about to come to see me with the heads of the officers and soldiers!" The prince laughed violently.
Dong Kui behind him was also laughing, and the following little commanders all echoed in unison.
Some people laughed and said that Li Ying was now chasing and killing the officers and soldiers who had fled, and some people said that Li Ying was on his way back for sycophants, and each one was more exaggerated than the other.
"Oh no, the horse team has suffered heavy losses!"
An old battalion knife man stumbled into the tent, and what he said made everyone in the tent look pale and stunned.
The joy on the prince's face disappeared, his face stiffened, and he asked in a deep voice: "Lao Tzu will give you a chance, and say it again!" ”
The old battalion swordsman immediately lay on the ground, trembling: "This... Lee, Commander Lee suffered heavy losses! ”
Dong Kui saw that Wang Zimeng's face became colder, and he immediately asked, "What about the officers and soldiers, they must have been defeated!" ”
The rest of the people and the prince all passed their gazes, but the swordsman was speechless.
In a moment of anxiety, another old battalion rogue, ran into the big tent, and as soon as he entered, he cried and shouted: "Great commander, defeated, the horse team is defeated, and the officers and soldiers are approaching the gate of the village!" ”
"What? Defeated! ”
There was a lot of discussion in the tent, and everyone couldn't believe their ears, they had thought that this victory was just a matter of course, and they would never have imagined that the horse team would lose so quickly.
Wang Zimeng couldn't sit still any longer, he walked a few steps to the rogue and lifted him up, and roared: "Li Ying has a team of three hundred horses, how can he be defeated? You tell me how can I lose?! ”
The prince Meng's spit kept splashing on the face of the rogue, and the rogue's eyes could only be closed, not daring to say a word, for fear that the angry prince Meng would take out his anger on himself.
The tent of the rogues was suddenly lifted, and the prince rushed out with seven or eight commanders with gloomy faces, and they wanted to see the end of the matter with their own eyes.
But when they saw the horsemen who were already running back, their hearts finally cooled, and the horse team was really defeated!
The horsemen changed their previous momentum of roaring and killing officers and soldiers, and their legs kept beating the belly of the horses, and they all wished that the horses under their seats had eight legs.
Their eyes were full of fear, fear of officers and soldiers.
Even if they had already rushed out of the range of the firecrackers, they didn't know it, and they still frantically rushed towards the stockade.
The prince yelled angrily: "Call Lao Tzu for Li Ying's dog, it's really a rice bucket!" ”
Li Ying's defeat is not tight, and even he will be looked down upon by all the peasant army.
This is the first time since the incident that the peasant army and horse team have been defeated by the officers and soldiers of the infantry army, and this is a great shame, if you can't kill that officer and soldier sentry commander and completely annihilate that group of officers and soldiers, you will never be able to raise your head in front of the righteous army from all walks of life in the future!
The prince's eyes were wide open, and his face was flushed, and no one would come forward to find himself unhappy at this time.
Only Dong Kui, who is the prince's confidant, was sent here to assist Wang Zimeng.
At this time, he stepped forward to dissuade him: "Commander Wang, there are only 200 officers and soldiers, and I have 2,000 troops, and the top priority at this time is to completely annihilate this group of officers and soldiers, as for the rest..."
The prince glared at him and was about to be attacked, but when he saw that it was Dong Kui, he endured this breath.
He said sullenly: "Okay, then remember first, and wait for Lao Tzu to wipe out all the officers and soldiers of this force, and then go to Li Ying to settle accounts!" ”
He pulled out his sagre saber and raised it and shouted: "Brothers, follow Lao Tzu to kill these dog officers and soldiers, and when you get to Chunxian County, the brothers can do whatever they want, my prince will bear it fiercely, and I will go and tell the eldest brother when the time comes!" ”
These words made the rogues all ready to move, and Wang Zimeng's reward was not insignificant, thinking of those delicate and rich young ladies.
They were even more excited and ready to move, and they all raised their sticks, pitchforks, and tattered flags in their hands, and followed the prince with a fierce shout to kill the officers and soldiers.
Subsequently, under the brave leadership of Wang Zimeng and several commanders, they all wanted to break out of the village, but there were many rogues, and the gate of the village was very small.
This is an interesting phenomenon, before they have broken out of the village, the rogues are a little chaotic, and many people are crowding and crying and shouting at the gate of the village.
Everyone wanted to rush out and fight for the title, but they forgot one thing, and that was the defeat of the horse team from the previous one!
No one thought about whether the officers and soldiers were the only ones in this team, they only had the credit that was about to be received, as well as the women and rice noodles of Chunxian County. (To be continued.) )
