Chapter 15: A Different Army

In the blink of an eye, the cavalry of the Flying Tiger Battalion had collided with the thieves and cavalry, and for a while, the sound of the cavalry gun breaking resounded in the sky. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Ahh - "Ah! - "With the screams that rang out one after another, the thief cavalry was stabbed backwards by the terrifying impact of the cavalry spears, and after falling to the ground, most of them were trampled into meat sauce by their own or Ming army horses that followed.

It was only in an instant that the Ming cavalry had already hedged against the thief cavalry. After that, the ground was littered with dozens of broken corpses of thieves, and the Ming army had lost only a dozen men. Faced with this result, Sui Tianlong, who was observing the battle situation in the rear, suddenly felt a tightening, these more than 500 cavalry were the elite he used the most. But if it goes on like this, it will be about the same in a few more rounds.

After hedging with the cavalry of the Ming army, the money leopard who commanded the cavalry of the thieves couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and secretly shouted in his heart: **, this official army is too evil, right!? Compared with them, the previous officers and soldiers are not even scum!

Fortunately, the big boss only let us lead away this group of officers and cavalry, if it is really hard work, it will be dead.

Forget it, can't I run away if I can't beat it? The Golden Leopard, who came to his senses, completely gave up the plan made before the battle to kill as many officers and soldiers as he had made, and after only one round, he fled to the side with the head of the thief cavalry without looking back. The thieves began to flee, and Shi Youliang was not polite at all, and after turning the horse's head, he began to chase after the cavalry of the Flying Tiger Battalion.

Seeing that the cavalry of the official army was "successfully" led away by the money leopard, Tianlong suddenly rejoiced in his heart. Based on his previous experience, it was only the official cavalry that could pose a little danger to his men and horses, and the official infantry was nothing more than a pack of dirt chickens and dogs, and the thousands of men and horses under his command only needed one charge to scatter their formation, and another rush would make them collapse. Moreover, this kind of scene has been copied by him more than once, and I believe this time will be no exception.

Looking at the defensive array of the Ming army in the distance, Sui Tianlong smiled contemptuously, and then asked a small leader beside him to convey the order to attack.

In the rumbling drumbeat, three thousand thieves walked out of their hiding places, and after forming a formation, they rushed onto the road in turn, and soon arrived at the mountain pass, appearing in the sight of the officers and soldiers of Ganzhou Town.

When he found that the thieves' various flags and drums were quite standardized, Pang Yue also had to re-examine the thief's leader Sui Tianlonglai, it seems that this scum of the avant-garde officer is really a bit capable! Like Pang Yue, Cui Shoucheng, Lu Qiwu and others also put away their contempt. They had participated in the encirclement and suppression of Zhang Xianzhong many times before, and in their opinion, even if the thieves in front of them were not as elite as Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates, they were no different from the ordinary team of Zhang's department, no wonder they would have been entrenched in southern Gannan for so many years.

"Rush forward and defeat the officers and soldiers!" With a loud shout, the thieves began to line up in an offensive formation and rushed towards the Ming army's defensive array.

"First row, raise the gun! Aim! At the same time, under the command of the officer, the first few rows of bird guns in the front of the Ming army's formation had already raised their bird guns and aimed at the front. This is the first actual battle of the bird soldiers in Ganzhou Town, what will be the result? No one has a bottom in his heart. Especially some of the recruits, Duan Gong's hands also trembled slightly.

The thieves were getting closer and closer, and the soldiers of the Ming army at the front could even vaguely see the faces with excitement and even fanaticism.

"First row, all of them! Ignition! With the rhythmic burst of shouts from the officers' mouths, the birds lit the arquebuses one after another.

The thieves who rushed to the front also saw the bird gun in the hands of the Ming army, but they didn't care. In the past, the officers and soldiers who came to encircle and suppress Jiulong Mountain did not carry firearms, but this firearm really did not play a big role once, either blowing up the chamber or extinguishing the fire, which has long become a big joke in Jiulong Mountain. What's so scary about firearms? As long as they rush over and fight hard for a while, those officers and soldiers will run away with their heads in their hands! As long as the officers and soldiers are retired and return to the cottage, the big boss will definitely be rewarded! It's so easy! Under such a beautiful vision, almost every thief and minion had a feverish red light on their faces. …,

In the blink of an eye, the thieves had rushed to a place more than eighty steps in front of the Ming army.

"First row, ready! - Put! The officer commanding the Bird's Gun shouted loudly, and at the same time heavily lowered the command flag in his hand.

"Bang......!" The dense sound of the bell suddenly started, and the rhythm was completely inaudible.

In the midst of the screams, dozens of thieves collapsed clutching their chests or facing their faces, and then were overwhelmed by the sea of people that swarmed in the ensuing area, and there was no reason to survive.

At the same time, the second row of bird guns was already in place, and the original first row of bird guns was retreated to the third row to reload ammunition. Although it was the first time to fight, due to the usual rigorous training with all kinds of corporal punishment, there was no big mess in the formation change of the birds.

"Bang.....!" After the second round of bird-fired volleys, dozens more thieves went to hell. The excitement on the faces of many thieves has been replaced by fear, but the thieves behind them are still rushing forward, and they can't retreat at all for a while.

At this time, the rows of archers standing behind the bird soldiers also began to add icing on the cake, and bursts of black and oppressive arrows rained down on the thief with the summons of death. Although the archers could only shoot due to the problem of location, the vicious and cunning triangular arrows still caused heavy casualties to the thieves, and in an instant, the thieves' charging formation was dented by a large block.

When the first bird soldier finished firing the third volley, the thieves were finally approaching the Ming army's defensive array, and some of the outlaws had recovered from the previous blow, and raised the steel knife in their hands with a hideous face. I've been beaten for so long just now, and I'm about to get it all back! Based on their past experience, the moment they came into contact with the officers and soldiers was the time when the officers and soldiers were scattered.

However, the thieves soon discovered that sometimes experience can kill people. Just when they thought they were about to reap the first result, they saw a dense little cold light suddenly appear in front of them. The pikemen of the Ming army had quickly taken over the positions of the bird gunners and archers, and the rows of spears were pointed at the swarming thieves with an inviolable momentum.

"To the right! - Thorns! "The officers gave the order as decisively as they usually trained.

"Kill! - "The spearmen of the Ming army in the first row stabbed the nine-foot spear in their hands diagonally in the direction of the forty-five degree angle to the right. This move is simple, neat, and unobtrusive, and after thousands of trainings, it has become an unstoppable thunderous blow!

The muffled sound of metal tearing flesh and shattering bones suddenly sounded, making people shudder. Nine times out of ten, the row of thieves who rushed to the front had been pierced by the sharp spear head from the right rib, and the bloody arrows gushed out along the blood groove of the blade.

In an instant, the terrible screams reached the sky, and the thieves who had just imagined taking the head of the official army and returning to the cottage to exchange gold and silver felt a deep sense of powerlessness after a sharp pain, and the weapons in their hands fell to the ground one after another.

When the thieves who rushed behind saw their brothers being slaughtered, they couldn't help but be furious, and with a loud roar, they rushed forward with their weapons waved. In their opinion, it is impossible for the officers and soldiers in front of them to pose any threat to themselves, the spears in their hands have all been pierced, and the sides of their bodies are all exposed in front of them, they are completely looking for death!

Kill, kill all the officers and soldiers, and avenge the dead brothers! The cold and glistening steel knives in the hands of the thieves had already been raised, and it seemed that the heads of the Ming army's spearmen would be cut off in the next moment.

But just when the thieves were full of fantasies about the outcome of the battle, the pikemen in the second row struck.

"Onward! - Thorns! ”

"Kill!" After a loud roar, the Ming army spearmen in the second row sent their hands forward with force along the gap between the bodies of the robe in the front row.

Once again, the flesh showed its fragility in front of the steel blade, and with the muffled sound of broken bones and flesh, the thieves who rushed forward to avenge their brother were stabbed through the hearts of the spears that stabbed with the force of thunder. …,

At the same time, the first platoon of pikemen had already retracted their spears and were ready for another lunge. When the gun was collected, the barb on the blade of the spear once again cut the bodies of the thieves, and the thieves who had lost their breath fell to the ground like bags full of food.

Facing the spear in the hands of the Ming army that was pointing forward and dripping with blood, the thieves who rushed up were stunned for a moment, and the hands holding the weapons began to tremble.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Wu Shenglong, who was still thinking about the route just now, was suddenly dumbfounded, when did the thieves in Jiulong Mountain become so vulnerable? Before they could touch the Ming army, they had been killed by lead and arrows, and after rushing to the front of the Ming army, dozens of people fell under only two rounds of spear thrusts! As for the Ming army, only a few pikemen in the first row were cut down just now, and it was caused by the spearmen in the back row not being able to stab in place. This is simply a one-sided slaughter!

Pang Yue, who was in the audience, was also very excited, the results of the three stages of the bird's hand had already made him very pleased, and the spearman's thrust brought him an unexpected surprise. The simple stabbing action and the frontal right stabbing tactics were all trained by his personally designated soldiers, although they were once controversial on the training ground, but in the first actual battle today, they turned the fierce thieves into a herd of cattle and sheep to be slaughtered!

Lu Qiwu and Cui Shoucheng, who were in command behind the battle, were also excited, they had indeed fought a lot of battles before, but when had they fought such a happy battle?

At this time, Sui Tianlong's face on the opposite side was already pale, and his heart was full of confusion and anger: Mother*, where did such an evil official army come from? Why don't their firearms explode? Why are their brothers slaughtered like pigs and dogs? Mother*, can anyone tell me why!?

In front of the Ming army, the thieves only hesitated for a moment before they began to flood up again. At the sound of the officer's command, the Ming pikemen began round after round of new spurts.
