Chapter 358: Kill Hard
Chapter 358 Kill a few loud soldiers shouted at the hillside, if the officers and soldiers were willing to retreat, their leaders would give them money, and the two sides were polite and did not offend each other. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Or maybe these officers and soldiers surrendered to the king, and they must be reused, and they will crusade against the unrighteous court together.
It seemed to understand the power of the Shunxiang army, and when these loud voices shouted, they were all far away from the range of the firearms, at least one hundred and fifty steps away from the hillside.
As they shouted, the dense layers of intrusive troops lined up less than 300 paces outside the hillside, forming an encirclement around the sergeants of the Renbu. It can be seen that they are surrounded by a full level, the east and north are tight, but the west is sparsely armed, which is secretly in line with the meaning of encircling three queyi in the art of war.
If there is a gap in the encirclement, the besieged people will not want to fight to the death, and if the Shunxiang army flees to the west, there will be a large camp in Ruzhou to the west, which can be said to be self-defeating. Moreover, in the northwest direction, there are also thousands of horse teams arranged, and if they use horse teams to pursue, those who flee will be more than lucky.
In addition, there are groups of horsemen patrolling in the wilderness of this area, although most of the generals have not read the war book, but their battlefield experience is obtained from countless actual battles, simple and effective.
When those loud voices shouted, Liu Fangliang and Li Guo rode on horses with some personal guards, and looked at the hillside at a distance of about 200 paces to the northwest.
Liu Fangliang was a little strange about their arrangement, the officers and soldiers were in front, and the spearmen were behind, which was nothing, the key was the thinness of their ranks. There were only a hundred birdmen on each side, divided into four tiers of twenty-five men each, and the same was true of the hundred spearmen behind them.
Can two hundred soldiers on each side withstand the continuous attack of his own army? Well, there are still some thistles scattered in front of the gap of more than a dozen steps on each side, and in front of the thistles, a few shallow trenches are dug slightly, and the excavated soil is piled up into a low wall on the spot.
A number of skirmishers with bird's guns could be seen patrolling the rear area. If your own army attacks, you can only go straight to the opponent's bird position, otherwise there will be a trench and thistle terrestris to block. It will also be hit by the opponent's skirmishers.
However, in Liu Fangliang's imagination, under the impact of his own crowd tactics, the other party's arrangement can only be useless. Of course, he did not dare to underestimate the enemy, the other party was well-equipped, the army was tightly organized, and there was no panic under the siege of his own army.
He silently looked at the flying banner of the king on the hillside, and thought, "Where did these officers and soldiers come from?" ”
Li Guo, who was next to him, looked fiercely at the iron armor of the Shunxiang army on the hillside, with an excited look in his eyes, and muttered in his mouth: "With so many horse armors, if they are defeated, our righteous army can expand by tens of thousands." ”
Liu Fangliang looked at the sky, and estimated that in another hour, it would be dark, and the soldiers who shouted were already dry, but there was no movement on the hillside. The battle can only end this evening, and the invading army is not good at fighting at night, and if it is tomorrow, the follow-up army of officers and men may catch up.
He looked at Hao Shaoqi to the north, and he was shouting and cheering at the soldiers on that side, whose vanguard had been chosen, the east and the north, each with twenty infantry teams in one go.
This team of fifty people, one thousand men on each side, attacked in advance, and then there was a steady stream of soldiers and horses. Liu Fangliang believed that the officers and soldiers on the hillside were also flesh and blood, they would also bleed and be tired, and this wave of offensive was endless, and he did not believe that they could stop it.
"Attack!"
Liu Fangliang passed on the general's order, and the tens of thousands of soldiers echoed, and their voices one after another stretched, as if the entire Pingchuan was their shouting.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
The thunderous drums sounded, but it was Hao Shaoqi who beat the war drums with his own hands.
"Kill the officers and soldiers!"
A sentry of the death squad in the north drew his saber and shouted hoarsely.
"Or!"
The dense spears were raised, and under the spears, there were heads with red scarves on their heads, most of these people were soldiers who broke into the periphery of the camp, and most of them were hungry people who were entrapded. They were either yellow-skinned or ragged, but their eyes were full of fanaticism.
In troubled times, what is easier than dying? Death is death, but if you live in this battle, you can become an inner battalion soldier and horse in the army, you can eat yourself, and you can let your family live, what is more cost-effective than this deal?
They shouted slogans in unison, and many of them beat their chests harder, and pressed the black pressure to the hillside. ,
……
In the clairvoyant mirror, I saw the rogues coming from all over the mountains, and the spears that flashed with cold light were all over the eyes, and their tidal cheers kept coming into my ears. Gao Shiyin rubbed his face, exhaled deeply, and ordered: "Prepare for battle!" ”
"Prepare for battle!"
The Chinese officer took the general's order and shouted, and then the echoes of the chief officers came from all sides of the hillside: "Prepare for battle!" ”
"Beat the drums!"
The heart-pounding drumbeat sounded.
"Musketeers, get ready to shoot!"
"Light the Rope!"
"First Floor Ready!"
Accompanied by the drums of war, the sound of orders from officers on all sides kept coming.
In the midst of the uproar, the first row of firecrackers of General B and General Ding, who were defending the east and north sides of the hillside, all turned down their firearms and concentrated on aiming at the approaching rogues.
And in the gap of more than a dozen paces of defense between the east and the north, as the reserve of the first commander, they had several musketeers in them, and they also occupied the favorable terrain of the hillside, and held flint relumi guns in their hands, which were used as sniper enemy officers and leaders, or to intercept the enemy troops approaching the low wall trenches and the iron thistle terrestris area.
"Kill the officers and soldiers!"
"Kill!"
When they were about to take a hundred paces, the rogues shouted, screamed with all their might, and rushed with their spears in their arms.
Mr. Ding, who was on the left side of the firecracker, pulled out his sword, pointed diagonally forward, paused, and spit out a vicious word in his mouth: "Release!" ”
Then his voice was drowned out by the deafening sound of firecrackers, and dozens of firecrackers spewed out fierce firelight, and immediately the blood mist shot out from the bodies of the rogues in front of him, staggering and rolling to the ground one by one, and the smell of blood and the terrible howls quickly spread.
There was a sound of metal, and after Mr. Ding's front row of firecrackers finished letting go of the guns, he immediately took over the firecrackers with submedicine from the hands of the firecrackers in the back row with his right hand, and turned the empty guns behind with his left hand. The guns were passed in rows, and when they reached the last row, the firecrackers quickly drew their canes and quickly loaded the cartridge ammunition.
It is inconvenient to pick up the team in front and back on the hillside, so the firecrackers of the Gaoshi Yinren Department use the tactics of firecrackers in turns, in fact, this is also the method of the Daming Shenji Battalion, which was used by Wang Dou to learn and use. The Shunxiang army has been in battle for a long time and has mature training, whether it is several rows of rotational shooting or firearm rotation tactics, they are all extremely proficient, and the use of any tactics can be at their fingertips.
More than a dozen of the rogues who charged on this side fell, and the rest roared wildly, looking like they were dying.
"Put!"
Only a moment later, the second shot sounded again, followed by the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh...... The sound seemed to never stop, and those rogue death squads couldn't even rush within forty paces of Ding's general defense line.
The corpses slowly piled up, the wounded were lying all over the ground, the blood flowing out was everywhere, and Mr. Ding's front was already filled with white smoke. In the cold wind, the choking smell of gunpowder smoke and blood spread everywhere, and the Chinese wanted to vomit. Among the wounded and the corpses were ordinary rogues with turbans and spears.
There were also some sergeants, sentry chiefs and other petty officers, most of whom held waist knives and shields. Heaven is fair, whether it is a petty officer or an ordinary rogue, under the fire of the Shunxiang army, they are all treated equally, and they are killed and knocked to the ground one by one.
Among the corpses and wounded, most of them were in the area in front of the firecrackers, and the postures of the dead and wounded were different. There were thistles on both sides of the hillside, and the low walls and ditches blocked it, and the rogues who charged involuntarily rushed to the side of the firecrackers, and they huddled together and became the best targets.
Looking at the death of his brothers, and then smelling the thick smell of blood, those fanatical death squads came to their senses.
They are hungry people, they have little training, and when there is a sharp spirit, they are extremely fierce. After the sharp spirit was gone, all kinds of timidity and fear immediately came to their hearts, and many people were colorless, and they had already made up their minds to retreat.
With this kind of thought, how can there be the original ferocity? These intruders have hesitated and did not dare to move forward. The casualties are too great, but they can't even rush dozens of steps in front of the opponent's formation, how can this battle be fought? And why did the birds of the officers and soldiers in the front keep ringing, and they were so powerful?
……
Mr. Ding estimated that he had disabled more than a dozen of the opponent's shock infantry teams, causing 200 casualties on the other side. And their own firecrackers can generally open five firecrackers and then stop to dissipate heat, and a hundred firecrackers can open five firecrackers to dissipate heat, which is five hundred rounds of medicine, and the queue on the opposite side is dense, which can cause them at least half of the casualties.
Can the rogues sustain such heavy casualties? Not to mention, he still has pikemen untouched. ,
Sure enough, after those rogues came back to their senses, they had already cowered and spun around a hundred paces away, but no one dared to take a step forward. From time to time they screamed, because at some point, a brother beside them was hit by a cold bullet from an officer and soldier, and he rolled to the ground screaming, especially the leaders of the officers, which added to their panic.
In the defensive gap between General Ding and the east and west, the soldiers of General A who were armed with flint guns constantly fired cold shots at the rogues on all sides. He also fired at the rogue who was approaching the trench. Their flint hair can break through heavy armor in a hundred steps, and they are also very lethal at a distance of more than a hundred steps, even if those rogues retreat to more than a hundred steps away, how can they escape their shooting?
There were constant rogues, and people who looked like special leaders were knocked to the ground.
"Smack!" With a thud, the bullet from nowhere hit another rogue, and he fell to his chest with a loud thud, hot blood spilling from between his fingers, hot in the cold weather.
Seeing this rogue rolling on the ground and crying, the people next to him all looked at him blankly, even the sentry chief next to him, and no one paid attention to the shouting and roaring.
Suddenly, a sentry's skull exploded, blood and brains splattered, but it was a bullet that hit him in the head.
"Ahh
A rogue screamed heartbreakingly, threw away the spear in his hand, and ran away.
Like a fryer, the rest of the rogues could no longer hold back the fear in their hearts, and they also ran away one after another. The rogues who fled from the north affected the rogues who attacked the east side of the hillside, and they also routed back like a tide.
Liu Fangliang and Li Guo, who watched the battle situation, had very ugly faces, and the difficulty of the officers and soldiers was beyond their expectations. In a short period of time, the forwards who attacked the hillside on both sides suffered more than 20% casualties, and the opponent did not seem to have a single casualty.
The contrast is so strong that it is really unacceptable, in Liu Fangliang's opinion, it is very rare for his brother to behave like this.
It's just that the officers and soldiers are too strong, and they have fought with King Chuang for many years, but they really haven't encountered it. In particular, their bird guns are so chilling, every time the platoon sounds, their own soldiers fall under their guns in rows, and the more brave they are, the faster they die.
And I don't know how they fought with birds, they were so durable and firepower, I had never seen officers and soldiers with such birds.
Li Guo also had a gloomy face, and said softly to Liu Fangliang: "Brother Liu, if you hit this part, you can't stop, otherwise the dead will be in vain." ”
He said: "Officers and men rely on firearms, and there will always be times when they can't keep up, and our men will always rush through their formations when they pile up. ”
Liu Fang nodded brightly, the forwards on both sides, most of the dead and injured were the hungry victims from the outer camp, and they broke into the core old camp of the camp, and they did not move at all. Even the horse teams on the periphery are still standing still, and no matter how many hungry people die, what pity is there for these generals?
At that moment, the two of them summoned Hao Shaoqi, who was thundering, Hao Shaoqi had boasted about Haikou in front of Liu and Li, and in the blink of an eye, the vanguard of his organization was defeated. Now that the people among the infantry are panicking, and it is difficult for the officers and soldiers of the capital to fight, it is better to withdraw the troops here, so as not to lose the troops in vain, and the ambition before the attack has been lost.
Hao Shaoqi was furious about this, and even beheaded a few fierce foot soldiers, Fang Fang stabilized some military morale, at this time after he was recruited, he shouted: "Brother Liu, Brother Li, it's better to let my old Hao personally lead people to rush, I don't believe it, those officers and soldiers are so difficult to bite." ”
Liu Fangliang said: "Brother Dayong, we are all capable generals around King Chuang, how can we take risks easily when it is not necessary?" Then you will form a group of twenty men and charge forward, and tell the hungry people that those who break the positions of the officers and soldiers will have all the horses and armor to them, and they will be included in the horse army at once. ”
"Okay."
Hao Shaoqi shouted: "If you want to enter my camp, how can it be so easy, it's time for them to work hard." ”
……
The sun slowly slanted to the west, and the scenery by the Rushui River was desolate and solemn, but at this time on this hillside, it was filled with gunsmoke, and the sound of killing shook the sky.
Madness and blood are on full display here.
The eastern and northern slope defense lines of the Gaoshi Yinren Department swooped down like a tidal wave of intruders, and the black pressure was full of spears and turbans. They were killed in rows on both sides of the line, but they were screaming and rushing wildly.
In order to be able to eat enough and become the inner camp of King Chuang, these original homeless people are desperate.
"Looks like the pikemen are going to be on the line, just right, kill it!"
Mr. Ding secretly thought to himself, every time the platoon of twenty-five people in front of the formation was released, and the sound of the platoon was about to ring twenty times, and those thieves were still rushing to be the first, their eyes full of blood red and crazy. Put it again, and the firearms of the firecrackers need to cool down and dissipate heat, but this gap needs to be topped by the pikemen. ,
And in Liukou's view, what the officers and soldiers are fighting is firearms, and he needs to let them see, their Shunxiang Army is not only sharp in firearms, but also in hand-to-hand combat, which is just as terrifying!
He shouted, "Pikemen prepare!" ”
"Protection!"
Chief Spear Sergeant Zhao Rongsheng shouted loudly with everyone and paused his gun vigorously.
There was a blood-red glow in his eyes, a madness of longing to kill.
Another round of firecrackers rang out, and a dozen more of the charging rogues fell, and their shock wave was blocked.
As the sound of "Musketeers retreating" sounded, several layers of musketeers in front of the pikemen retreated en masse, until they retreated behind the pikemen. The soldiers of the Central Military Department also quickly took buckets and wiped them with wet cloths to cool down each person's fine iron pipes, and a sizzling sound sounded.
"Onward!"
The pikemen officers shouted.
"Wan Sheng!"
They were the loud and powerful voices of the soldiers.
"First layer, sprint!"
"Wan Sheng!"
Zhao Rongsheng held his spear and roared and rushed with the platoon of pikemen.
"Kill!"
With the power of rushing down the slope, Zhao Rongsheng rushed and jumped, and the sharp long cone of the spear in his hand suddenly pierced the throat of a rogue. The spear came out of his throat, and the rogue couldn't scream, but his body twitched violently.
"Thorn!"
"Kill!"
A captain on the far left of the queue roared angrily, and Zhao Rongsheng's spear brought out a stream of blood mist, which pierced into the heart of a rogue behind.
"Thorn!"
"Kill!"
Dozens of blood-dripping spears stabbed out like poisonous snakes, and a heart-rending scream rang out, and Zhao Rongsheng's spear pierced into the eyes of a rogue behind him. The rest of the spear sergeants almost didn't miss out on their guns.
The pikemen of the Shunxiang Army practice their marksmanship weekdays, and they can hit the target's heart, eyes, throat and other parts in dozens of sprints. Accurate and ruthless, plus they are well-armed, pay attention to the footwork of the queue when fighting, who are their opponents with spears and almost no training?
They thought that the officers and soldiers relied on firearms, but it turned out that they were wrong.
