Chapter 135: They're Robbers! (Ask for the first order)
Tong Hang turned around, looked at Geng Junhong, Tian Han and the others, and said, "You and I have sixteen people, and now we will follow a small detachment in the courtyard to support the east." ”
Everyone agreed in unison, drew their swords one after another, picked up the small iron crossbow that had been loaded with crossbow arrows on the table, and followed Tong Hang downstairs.
Geng Junhong said to Tong Hang, who was walking in front: "Son, if Chen Ji is not in the east, I'm afraid that the officer will escape." ”
"Why?" Tong Hang went downstairs and asked, "The pikemen and sword soldiers over there have been disabled, except for the cavalry led by the officer, what else will be powerful?" ”
"Childe doesn't know, it's those cavalry who are powerful." Geng Junhong hurriedly said: "Looking at the number of this army, the officer should be the general." There were more than a dozen of his personal guards, and with the cavalry he had brought over, it looked like there were about fifty or sixty men. Chen Ji's troops deployed in the east were probably only more than 90 people. Although there are no wounded, you can use swords and infantry against the cavalry, I am afraid that it will not be stopped. ”
Tong Hang was shocked, he really didn't expect this. Grenades and mines can only be fought from afar, and if these cavalry assault into their battle formations, the grenades and mines are completely useless and can only be used as iron lumps. To deal with cavalry, in the infantry battle array, only pikemen can be used, and it seems that pikemen still have to be developed.
"There's no way, now we can only let them use the iron crossbow to hard-top!" It can only be like this, Tong Hang couldn't help but speed up his pace.
Geng Junhong quickened his pace to keep up and said: "Our iron crossbow has a long range and sufficient strength, but the disadvantage is that the loading of crossbow arrows is too slow, and it is not as fast as the opponent's bow and arrows. We can shoot three arrows with one crossbow. By the time our second box of crossbow bolts fired, their cavalry had already rushed into battle. ”
It's easy to look at flowers and it's hard to embroider, this is really two different things from watching ancient war movies and participating in wars! Tong Hang couldn't help but be a little anxious, if these people were allowed to slip through the net, this manor would be ruined!
"Aren't we repeaters?" Tong Hang suddenly remembered and said, "The repeater can be shot continuously." ”
"It's a good repeater, save the crossbow arrows, but it's too troublesome to pull the string, and you have to use both hands. If the enemy is in front of us, we are defenseless. ”
Yes, throw down the iron crossbow and slash with a knife, and the repeater will lose the effect of continuous shooting, so it's time to think about how to improve the string pulling problem.
"After the war is over, we will hold a summary meeting to summarize the gains and losses of this war, summarize the problems, and then we will rectify them. For now, we must win this battle. Out of the gate on the first floor, Tong Hang saw that the three teams had already set off, and rushed out of the courtyard gate with Geng Junhong, Tian Han and others, and ran to the east.
Running past the place where the mines and grenades bombarded just now, Geng Junhong, Tian Han and others couldn't help but smack their tongues. Broken arms and legs were all over the ground, and flesh was everywhere, which was disgusting.
"Hold back! No time to vomit! Fast! They've rushed into our sword formation! Tong Hang shouted, and everyone looked up, and sure enough, they saw those cavalry rampaging in their sword array.
"Run closer! Shoot horsemen with iron crossbows! Tong Hang shouted angrily and ran forward.
At this time, everyone was in a hurry, and they couldn't care about anything else, so they spread their footsteps and rushed forward.
"Hanzi, protect the son!" Geng Junhong shouted, crossed Tong Hang and went straight forward, Tian Han and the others also crossed Tong Hang one after another and ran over......
Zhang Jiang always beat his horse and galloped, knocked over several people one after another, and shouted angrily: "Sons, knock them away and let the archers behind retreat!" ”
With a whoosh, a crossbow arrow pierced through his chain mail and nailed to his right shoulder blade, and he turned around, only to see more than thirty people rushing up behind him, carrying small black iron crossbows, shooting at his cavalry. His eyes widened with rage, and he exclaimed, "Archers turn back!" Shoot! ”
The archers were all in the crowd, and who dared to turn back and leave their backs to the battle formation that was about to rush away. They all red-eyed and rushed forward, and none of them bothered to turn around and shoot.
Another flurry of crossbow arrows flew, and the cavalry fell a dozen ......
Seeing that there were reinforcements, and the instructor personally led people to rush over, someone in the battle array shouted: "Swear to obey the order, and no one will be released!" The Black Tiger warriors responded one after another, their blood was boiling, and their morale was like a rainbow!
The swords were swung in unison, the cavalry fell off their horses, and the archers screamed miserably.
"It's Chen Ji! That kid is over there! Hearing the shout, Geng Junhong excitedly shouted to Tong Hang, who had caught up behind.
Whoosh, another flurry of crossbow bolts flew past, and only a few cavalry remained. That officer was hit by a few arrows, and he was still slashing there!
Tong Hang was furious and yelled at the man next to him: "Shoot that guy down with a big crossbow!" ”
Hanzi agreed, untied the backpack that was slung cross-body, took out an iron reinforced crossbow that had been loaded from it, loaded it with long crossbow arrows, and twisted the quadruple string. He pointed it at the officer who didn't know it.
Peng snapped, and the bolt of the crossbow shot at the officer with a tail.
With a pop, the long crossbow bolt pierced the officer's back, and the tail trembled.
Looking at the depth of the long crossbow arrow, it was evident that it had pierced the officer's back and chest. Tong Hang couldn't help patting Hanzi's shoulder and said, "Not bad! ”
Hanzi looked up proudly. Needless to say, this four-string reinforced crossbow, the entire Black Tiger Regiment, except for Brother Hai who stayed in Haizhou, can only be used by himself at present! Shoot an officer, it's a piece of cake! He didn't know Tong Hang's strength at all, and Tong Hang rarely showed it in front of him.
Watching the officer fall off his horse, the morale of the enemy archers suddenly plummeted. Tong Hang couldn't help but think of a book mentioned in later generations that a soldier is a general, and courage is the soul of a soldier. Now that these soldiers don't even have their souls, how can they dare to fight! They threw away the swords in their hands and knelt down to beg for mercy, those Black Tiger warriors ignored them, especially when they saw so many of their own people lying in a pool of blood, they were even more angry! Only now do I think of surrendering, it's too late!
The sword and the sword, the screams and screams, and in a few moments, none of those archers were standing.
Tong Hang is not a bad person, and he has no intention of keeping them at all. These white-eyed wolves who can't be raised are sure when they will bite themselves, and then they will clean them up, isn't it too late? Seeing Chen Ji and them slashing and surrendering soldiers, he turned around and pretended not to see it.
Chen Ji faithfully carried out the order not to let go of one.
Geng Junhong couldn't bear it when he saw it, and he dissuaded him again and again, and when those black tiger warriors stared at him with red eyes, he could only retreat in embarrassment.
Seeing Geng Junhong's embarrassment, Tong Hang hurriedly beckoned Geng Junhong to come over, lest his pedantic reading ruin the unity of the Black Tiger Regiment.
"Chen Ji, Gongzi has an order, wait until the battle is over and then clean up the battlefield, you quickly lead all the men and horses, and quickly go to the other two sides for reinforcements!" Hanzi shouted loudly to Chen Ji, who was standing in front of him panting.
When Chen Ji heard this, he hurriedly gathered the Black Tiger warriors.
"Childe, it's ominous to kill prisoners!" Geng Junhong ran over and said to Tong Hang: "Xiang Yukeng killed hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and the end was that the army was defeated and killed himself. ”
"I'm not Xiang Yu, Mr. Geng." Tong Hang said with a smile: "These soldiers, if one of them escapes and leads the government to track us down, how can it be good?" The government is coming, then Jiang Tao will definitely come, at that time, will we confront Jiang Tao or dodge? As long as there are clues, this Jiang Tao will definitely be able to chase us to the ends of the earth. ”
Geng Junhong couldn't help but be stunned.
"We cannot be merciful to our enemies! A great man once said that to be merciful to one's enemies is to be cruel to one's own people! ”
Geng Junhong muttered: "But they are our Ming army!" ”
"Nope! Since they broke down their homes and robbed houses, they have been robbers, not our Ming army! Tong Hang said resolutely: "To treat the robbers, we can only kill them all!" Be sure to cut the grass and eradicate the roots! ”
Looking at the back of Chen Ji galloping away with the Black Tiger Warriors, Tong Hang said to Geng Junhong: "Are you willing to watch them fall in a pool of blood?" Would you like to see their families dressed in linen and filial piety for them? ”
Geng Junhong said in a low voice: "Of course I don't want to, but we don't have to ......."
Tong Hang turned around and pointed to the corpses of the Black Tiger warriors on the battlefield mixed with the corpses of those officers and soldiers, and said, "Mr. Geng, if we forgive those archers who surrendered, it will not only be them lying here, there will be you, me, and them!" As he spoke, he pointed to Chen Ji who was far away.
Geng Junhong actually understood these truths in his heart, but he felt a little unbearable to kill the soldiers who threw away their weapons and surrendered.
"Let's go! Go see what's going on over there. Tong Hang saw Geng Junhong bow his head and was silent, knowing that he was digesting his words.
Hanzi and Tian Han and others are simple-minded, whatever Tong Hang says, they will do! You don't need to think about it, you can do it according to the instructions, you can't go wrong!
Everyone followed Tong Hang and walked to the west, no one spoke, only the sound of footsteps...... (To be continued.) )
