Chapter 148: Special Operations in the Seventeenth Century (8)
The ashigaru on the opposite side has already begun to move, this time the team is personally pressing the formation, slowly pressing towards the guards, the first row is all armed with iron cannons, the number of people is about a dozen, it seems that the other party is ready to fight this time.
Chu Fan couldn't hold his breath any longer, and just as he turned his head and was about to tell the two guys to enter the door to find Shi Zhen, he saw the latter running out with something in his hand, his ink-covered face was intertwined with the ecstasy of success and pious reverence, and the other hand kept drawing a cross on his chest, and his mouth was mumbling, as if he was reciting a prayer.
Chu Fan only had time to glance at the golden cross about half a foot long, it was indeed extremely gorgeous—the pure gold cross still reflected the dazzling golden light in the dim light of the storeroom, and the four corners of the cross were inlaid with all kinds of gemstones—red, yellow, blue, and even colorless diamonds; In particular, the uppermost corner is an oval, densely packed with precious stones, faintly emitting a halo of light.
"Withdraw!"
With Chu Fan's order, the escort team slowly retreated with Lu Mi Gong, and the ashigaru on the opposite side saw that this group of people was about to escape, and they also accelerated their speed, and the two sides moved in the direction of the gap one after the other.
And the group of rescued Chezhidan disciples hugged Shi Zhen and supported each other, staggering towards the direction of the gap.
Soon the escort team retreated to the half-collapsed barracks, and after having a cover, Chu Fan's heart was even more relaxed, and in the corner of his eye, there were fast-moving Chezhi Dan disciples who had rushed out of the gap - this carefully prepared special operation was about to end perfectly.
"Bang~~!"
Just when Chu Fan's long breath was not finished, the rumbling sound of iron cannons sounded outside the wall, and the few Chezhi Dan disciples who had just stepped out of the gap screamed and rolled to the ground, so frightened that the rest of the people stopped at once.
"Pillar, you command the convoy!" Chu Fan's soul was furious, and he glanced at the Ashigaru team, who had already narrowed the distance to about one hundred and fifty steps, and shouted at the pillar, his shout was drowned out by the rumbling iron cannon and the mournful wail outside the wall, but the latter still heard it and nodded heavily.
Rushing to the edge of the gap in three or two steps, Chu Fan carefully looked at it, and saw that in the direction of the south gate of the camp of Sanjingtai, about fifty or sixty steps away from the gap, two rows of about twenty people were holding iron cannons and cautiously pressing towards the gap, and next to the queue, a guy who didn't know whether it was the chief or the chief followed with a knife in both hands, and there was a row of ashigaru behind them who was loading in place.
it! The standard three-stage strike tactic!
Chu Fan secretly screamed in his heart, and as soon as he retracted his head, he heard the sound of iron cannons outside the wall sound again, and the lead bullet hit the wall with a popping sound, bursting countless wood stubble!
It is inevitable that the hundred secrets will be sparse, and Chu Fan's teeth are about to be crushed!
After a few days of crouching and observing, Chu Fan thought that he had a general understanding of the entire situation of the Sanjingtai camp, and he didn't know that there was a foot light squad on duty at the south gate of the camp, but according to the usual observations, the squad on duty was also a Shiren team.
For this reason, Chu Fan deliberately chose the blasting point about a mile away from the south gate, just to avoid this Shiren team - he felt that it was impossible for the chief guarding the gate to abandon the door without receiving an order, and in just ten minutes, no one in the chaotic Sanjingtai camp should give an order to this chief, right?
But he never expected that this chief guarding the door was really a character, it seemed that he had been organizing from the moment of the explosion, and immediately rushed to the gap after collecting thirty ashigaru, and he also thought of using the standard three-stage attack, and blocked his retreat!
"Put!"
When Chu Fan was still racking his brains to think of countermeasures, there was a hoarse shout of the pillar in his ears, and then the platoon gun rang out, and the ashigaru who rushed up with a roar on the opposite side was suddenly put down.
But this time they couldn't stop the crazy pace of the follow-up ashigaru, they naturally heard the sound of iron cannons outside the wall, and knew that their companions had blocked these daring sneak attackers in the gap, so for a while, the morale was high, and a face that was screaming wildly and distorting excitedly approached quickly, and the swords and sharp crossbow arrows in their hands shone in the rising sun!
In a blink of an eye, Chu Fan saw the group of Qiezhidan disciples who were panicked and trembling, and he immediately thought of a way - let these people be cannon fodder and cover his escort team to rush out!
As soon as this thought came to mind, the sound of clanging blades, the sound of crossbow arrows breaking through the air, and earth-shattering screams came from outside the wall.
At this time, those Chezhi Dan disciples no longer needed Chu Fan's urging, they shouted and rushed towards the gap, and without the blockage of the outflankers, they successfully passed through the gap and rushed towards the bushes where Chu Fan and they were crouching last night.
When everyone passed by Chu Fan's side, they all cast a grateful and admiring gaze at him, especially Shi Zhen, who almost wrote on his face, "Big brother, you are really good, you still have a back hand, it's a god!" This sentence.
Chu Fan himself wondered, but he didn't have time to think about it now, but instead set his eyes on the ashigaru who were rapidly approaching in the camp.
Of course, those ashigaru also heard the fight outside the wall, and the pace of the charge was obviously stagnant, and the frenzy of desperate self-determination just now dissipated at once, and was replaced by suspicion and hesitation - how many people are there in this group? Is there an ambush outside the wall?
At this moment, the escort team led by the pillar had already replaced the last loaded ammunition Lu Mi Gong, and in the wild shouts of the column, Lu Mi Gong spewed out a row of dense gunsmoke, and the front row of the Ashigaru squad immediately burst out with a cloud of blood mist.
And Liu Zhongwen and Zhao Hai's wolf tooth arrows also shot fiercely, ruthlessly harvesting the lives of the unprotected ashigaru, especially Liu Zhongwen's continuous arrows, which were simply arrows at a distance of sixty or seventy steps, and six or seven people fell under his arrows in just a few breaths.
The rapid reversal of the situation and the huge casualties destroyed the Ashigaru who had just been full of confidence, and they turned around and fled one after another, ignoring the reprimand of the overwhelming team, and retreated like a tide.
It was only at this time that Chu Fan's hanging heart fell back into his stomach, and he led everyone to quickly cross the gap and run towards the bushes where the Chezhidan disciples were hiding.
When he ran out of the gap, Chu Fan turned his head to look in the direction of the south gate, only to see that the battle outside the wall was also coming to an end - about twenty people in black night clothes like himself were waving Wa Guo of different lengths, and were slashing the last few foot light to the ground.
Looking at those black-clothed people who were agile and killed people as easily as slaughtering chickens, Chu Fan was also full of doubts in his heart.
Who are they?
