Chapter 781: Lightning Action (6)

The battle in the front yard has reached a white-hot level, Zheng Zhilong's personal soldiers do have a certain combat effectiveness, although it is said that they were caught off guard, but after all, there are two thousand five hundred people, these people are not afraid of death, Zheng Zhilong's mansion was attacked, and their duty is to be responsible for protecting the mansion and Zheng Zhilong's family, as for their own lives, they didn't think so much about it at all. Although the officers of the Jiangning Battalion, who were in charge of directing the attack, were fully mentally prepared, they still did not expect that the fighting would be so tragic.

When the cavalry in front rushed in, relying on the flintlock pistols and war horses in their hands, the unprepared Zheng Zhilong's personal soldiers had no power to fight back, and they were hit and fell down one after another, or were directly kicked over by the war horses, but these pro-soldiers were well-trained, and immediately there were many pro-soldiers, returned to the house, quickly closed the door, found weapons, and began to resist.

Bows and arrows and bullets flew in the air, and people on both sides fell, but the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion had an absolute advantage, blocking the house with two thousand and their own soldiers, and when some of the soldiers shot arrows from the windows, most of them were hit by flintlock pistols.

The area of the barracks is not large, and after the horses rush in, the place seems even more cramped, and there is no room for movement.

The two exits of the barracks were blocked by war horses, and the pro-soldiers inside had little hope of escaping from the barracks, and the barracks in the mansion were closed, and outsiders were generally not allowed to enter, and the pro-soldiers could not enter the mansion at will, so as not to disturb Zheng Zhilong's family, of course, there were some other considerations, the walls around the barracks were very high, and it was impossible to climb in a hurry, and it was precisely for this reason. A fierce battle unfolded in the barracks.

There were 3,000 officers and men of the Jiangning battalion who participated in the attack, and only 2,500 of the soldiers in the barracks. At the same time, this attack was sudden, the pro-soldiers did not have the slightest preparation, they were all thinking about the Spring Festival, every year during the Spring Festival, Zheng Zhilong would arrange the kitchen to make good food, and the pro-soldiers could also drink, so during the Spring Festival, it was the happiest time for the pro-soldiers.

The soldiers of the Jiangning battalion after dismounting. The division of labor was quickly completed, and some of the soldiers, armed with flintlock pistols, shot at the houses, so that the pro-soldiers inside did not dare to take the lead, and the other soldiers pulled out the steel knives on their backs, and some held spears. It's time to attack.

The pro-soldiers who cowered inside the house found themselves always hiding inside the house. The situation will become more and more passive, dealing with hand-held firearms is too powerful, they have never been taught, they don't need to ignite, they can be fired directly by pulling the trigger, and the lethality is amazing. Anyone who was shot basically lost their combat effectiveness, and even more died directly.

Just as the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion rushed in the direction of the houses, all the houses suddenly opened, and a large number of pro-soldiers. Armed with steel knives and spears, they rushed out, and they were also desperate.

The two sides soon fought together, face-to-face fighting, the flintlock pistol did not have much effect, the personnel on both sides were entangled, and they could not shoot, at this time, the competition was the ability of the individual.

Zheng Zhilong's personal soldiers are also experienced in a hundred battles, not only on land, but also on the sea, among which there are even some Japanese ronin, armed with Japanese swords, if they face ordinary Ming troops, or pirates and bandits, they have an advantage, but unfortunately they are facing the Jiangning battalion, Jiangning battalion soldiers, I don't know how many battles Lu Dao has passed, in terms of troop arrangement and personal ability, they are all super-first-class in the Ming Dynasty.

After the two sides fought together, the commander of the pro-soldiers and Kuai found that they did not have the slightest chance of winning, the other party was too fierce, and the initial cooperation was consistent, often four to five people were a tactical team, and when facing their own side of the pro-soldiers, they could cooperate with each other, some people resisted the steel knife spear in front, some attacked from the side, and some people attacked from behind, so that many pro-soldiers could not be guarded.

In the barracks, there was a bloody atmosphere, and the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion in the process of fighting originally wanted to ask these pro-soldiers to surrender, so as not to kill too much, but they soon found that these people would never surrender, so they had no scruples in their hearts, and began to attack with all their might, mercilessly, completely fighting in the same way as dealing with the Tartars of the rogues.

There is more and more blood on the ground, more and more people are falling, there are casualties on both sides, and as time goes by, there are fewer and fewer pro-soldiers who can fight.

At this time, the commander of the pro-soldiers suddenly shouted loudly, and the words he said, the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion could not understand, but with the commander's yelling, some of the pro-soldiers struggled to withdraw from the fighting team and began to run towards the house. The officers of the Jiangning battalion found that the situation was not right, and ordered the officers and men of the Jiangning battalion, who had been waiting at the gate of the barracks, to rush over on horseback and stop them.

When the war horse jumped over the crowd of fighting, it knocked down a lot of people, the speed of running was impossible to compare with the war horse, these people were quickly caught up, as the steel knife crossed, many people screamed and fell, and the rest did not care, still rushed towards the house, this behavior was too abnormal, the Jiangning battalion soldiers on horseback, instinctively felt that something was wrong, also accelerated the speed, rushed past the running soldiers, and the prancing horse blocked the front.

The purpose of these pro-soldiers seemed to be to enter the house, and the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion who prevented them from entering the house would not be polite and desperately resisted, and the two sides began a more tragic fight.

Seeing that the pro-soldiers had suffered heavy casualties and were about to rush to the house, and there was no chance, the commander suddenly took out something from his arms, and at the same time took out a fire fold with his other hand, ready to light the fire.

The officer of the Jiangning battalion recognized it at a glance, this is a rocket, this is a kind of offensive weapon commonly used on the warship, the main role is to ignite, trigger the warship to burn, almost at the same moment, the officer thought of a terrible consequence, just now so many pro-soldiers rushed to the house without dying, and now the pro-soldier commander took out the rocket, which shows that there must be a firearm that can explode in the house, once the ignition detonates these firearms, I am afraid that the people killed in the barracks will not be spared.

The officer didn't care about the fight around him, and rushed directly to the commander of his own army.

This kind of rocket, although it is mainly used for combustion, but it also contains the ingredients of gunpowder, which can cause an explosion, the power of the explosion will not be very large, but it is enough to make the person holding the rocket fatal, the commander is ready to ignite the rocket, it seems that he is ready to take the ignited rocket, and rush to the house, in his opinion, with the rocket in his hand, I am afraid that the people around him will be avoided, and no one wants to be blown up alive.

It's a pity that this commander underestimated the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion, and he also analyzed the psychology of the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion according to ordinary ideas.

At the same time, there were several soldiers of the Jiangning battalion who rushed to this commander.

The officers eventually rushed to the front.

A stunned scene appeared, the commander finally ignited the rocket, sparks began to come out, at this time, the officer of the Jiangning battalion also pounced, the commander's eyes were red, he didn't care about the surrounding scene, and rushed towards the house with his head stuffy, the officer knew very well that even if he pulled out the steel knife to fight, people would avoid it and would not face it, so he rushed up, instinctively hugged the commander, and with all his strength, knocked the commander to the ground and pressed it up.

"Bang ......"

The rocket exploded, and the commander who was pressed down instantly became blurred, and the officer who was pressed on top was pale, looked at the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion who rushed over and smiled reluctantly, and said a word with all his might.

"Brothers, there is no mercy for killing, don't put it ...... one person"

This officer is a thousand households in the Jiangning battalion, and he has also risen step by step from an ordinary sergeant, the promotion of officers in the Jiangning battalion is extremely strict, and only those who have the ability can be promoted, as for the Wei commander, he has not been promoted for several years, although the number of troops is increasing, but the Wei commander is still those people, this is also to avoid some people in the court to raise opinions, fixed the number of Wei commanders, increased the number of sergeants, although there is some meaning of covering up the ears and stealing the bell, but can always block the mouths of those who want to put forward opinions. It would be great for an ordinary sergeant to be promoted to the position of a thousand households.

Qianhu was promoted from among the sergeants, and the relationship with the sergeants was naturally not ordinary, and they were also supported by the sergeants, and these officers, charging ahead, never commanded behind, set an example for the sergeants, and even more inspired the sergeants to fight bravely to kill the enemy.

Seeing that Lord Qianhu and the commander of Zheng Zhilong's personal soldiers were all gone, the anger of the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion was completely aroused, and many soldiers let out a strange scream in their mouths, brandished steel knives and spears, and rushed towards the soldiers in the middle, and even the soldiers who were waiting at the gate of the barracks turned over and dismounted, brandished steel knives, and rushed to the personal soldiers in the middle......

Several soldiers had already rushed to the side of Lord Chito, they tearfully lifted Lord Chito up, and after turning over, they found that the original commander put the rocket behind him, and after the rocket exploded, the middle of the commander was blown into a blur of flesh and blood, it may be that Lord Chito was quite hard, the power of the rocket explosion was towards the bottom, and the commander of the pro-soldier was blown up to a blur of flesh and blood.

One of the soldiers roared and raised his steel sword, ready to swing it at the commander on the ground, but the people next to him stopped him, each for his own master, and the commander's actions were equally worthy of respect.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the barracks quieted down, and the officers and men of the Jiangning Battalion, who had burst out with amazing power, had an absolute advantage in terms of numbers and combat effectiveness, and they killed all the soldiers in the barracks within an hour. After the battle, the deputy Qianhu, who took over the command, gasped after entering the house, and in the corner of the house, there were rockets more than half a person high, if all these rockets were ignited, after the explosion, the power of the trigger, I am afraid that the people killed in the barracks would either die or be injured.
