Chapter 33: Flying Spears

Wang Dou looked at the map on the table that was similar to the one drawn by Han and Chao, but it was bigger, presumably there were capable people in Dongjiazhuang who didn't accept it at night! ”

Zhang Gui laughed: "My old Zhang almost forgot the batch of flying guns that came from Shunxiang Fort yesterday, damn, I'll shoot those bastards tomorrow!" ”

……

After resting in Dongjiazhuang for one night, Zhang Gui ordered to cook food and send troops at dawn the next day.

This time, the soldiers of Dongjiazhuang can be said to be dispatched, most of the defenders in the fort were withdrawn, not to mention, but also dozens of military households were dispatched to transport grain and grass, and more than 30 people brought by Wang Dou, a total of 100 people, known as 1,000 people.

More than a dozen of Zhang Gui's family members also went out together, and a few of them did not collect at night, which shows Zhang Gui's determination, he was really forced by Xu Zhongjun. However, Wang Dou could see that in addition to the dozen or so family members under Zhang Gui, the remaining sergeants were afraid of embarrassment.

Not to mention the tattered military clothes, the same is true of their own subordinates, but their kind of lax military discipline, old and weak, and slow action are not as good as their own subordinates. At least he still has two teams of young people of the same color, and it can be regarded as a strict military appearance, and the order is forbidden.

The imperial court is always in arrears of food and wages, and when they come down, Shangguan often withholds them, and they are taken by Zhang Gui and them to support their own families, and they can't eat enough and dress all year round, plus it is rare to see training several times a year, and these sergeants in Dongjiazhuang can't talk about what they look like soldiers.

After eating, everyone rushed out, Zhang Gui's family were all one-color cavalry, it can be seen that a few of them were the horses captured by Wang Dou from the Houjin army in the past, and the rest were mostly on foot. Even Xiao Daxin, who is in charge of the team, is also riding on a thin horse, not to mention a few armor chiefs in Dongjiazhuang, looking at the good horses of Wang Dou and a few people, many pairs of jealous eyes are shooting at Wang Dou and a few people.

Everyone tossed all the way away, at this time it was the bitter cold of midwinter, the cold cracked skin, and before they had gone far, the morale of everyone in Dongjiazhuang was low. Many people began to move slowly, complaining from time to time that they had to come out to suppress the bandits in this kind of ghostly weather, and the military households who were responsible for transporting heavy grain and grass drove mules and pulled vehicles, and the cold wind was blowing, and they also cried out loudly for bitterness.

Seeing everyone like this, Zhang Gui shouted and scolded, and asked his family members to go down and urge the soldiers to speed up the march.

Everyone was shocked, and Zhang Gui scolded: "Damn, we haven't built a village yet, these bandits can't wait to come and die?" ”

He shouted loudly and ordered everyone to put on armor to face the battle, and everyone in Dongjiazhuang was in a hurry, all hurriedly putting on armor and taking their weapons.

With the assistance of the family, Zhang Gui quickly put on his mountain-patterned iron armor, put on an eight-petal hat and iron-pointed helmet, and his family leader Zhang Tanggong and his henchman Hong Qiu also put on iron armor, and his family members also wore iron armor one by one, although the armor was old, but everyone finally had iron armor.

Xiao Daxin only has a body of leather armor here, and the rest of the people in Dongjiazhuang only wear some simple cloth armor, with cloth as the inside and outside, and some nail bubbles on the outside of the surface, and only a red hat on the head.

Wang Dou and others also put on armor together, Zhang Gui's subordinates saw that some of Wang Dou's soldiers had leather armor and cotton armor, and many people showed envy in their eyes, especially the fine silver and white iron armor worn by Wang Dou, which attracted the attention of many people.

Everyone knew that Wang Dou's armor was captured from the Houjin Army, but he didn't expect that he would be willing to use it this time.

……

"Kill the officers and soldiers!"

The bandits on the mountain were still rushing down the mountain in a noisy manner, and this group of bandits looked like more than 50 people, because he was a tall bandit, holding a thick-backed machete in his hand, and he shouted loudly: "Brothers, kill those officers and soldiers, take their weapons, and let them know how powerful we are ......."

“…… Those soldiers of tofu scum, don't be afraid, they will disperse as soon as they rush......"

This bandit had fought against officers and soldiers many times, and in his memory, he had led his brother to attack the Ming army's formation, and many times the Ming army miscellaneous soldiers broke up before rushing in front of him, and even some family members could not save their fate. Looking at it from a distance, the officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain really panicked, seeing that they were mostly old and weak, and they were all young and strong on their side, and each of them had a few lives on their hands.

A scream came, although the rockets were scattered after firing, but the number was dense, and immediately several of the rushing bandits were shot to the ground.

Seeing this, some of the bandits were filled with fear in their hearts, and their steps hesitated, and the bandit encouraged loudly: "Don't be afraid, rush over, rush in front of the officers and soldiers, and they will be defeated." ”

The bandits continued to rush, and a few more arrows were fired from the Ming army, but to no avail.

"Smack!" With a few sounds, several gunners in the front row shot out a row of three-eyed gunballs, and the ammunition in the three guns was shot out at the same time, and several bandits screamed and rolled to the ground, but they were about to rush in front of the Ming army. The bandits were all red-eyed, armed with weapons, screaming and rushing forward.

Those Ming archers and firecrackers desperately fled to both sides, and the Ming army formation behind also wavered. At this moment, there was a loud bang, the tiger squatting cannon exploded, and a rain of lead pills swept over the face, and the flesh and blood of several bandits who rushed in front were blurred, and many of them were rolling on the ground with their heads and faces covered and screaming miserably.

A piece of exclamation: "Cannon, cannon!" ”

All the bandits were terrified, and they all turned their heads and fled desperately back, especially the bandit who escaped the fastest.

Zhang Gui laughed, drank and ordered his family to chase after him, and immediately Zhang Tanggong chased them like a wolf and a tiger, seeing that Zhang Gui only ordered his own family to pursue, everyone in Dongjiazhuang had a look of dissatisfaction on their faces, but the bandits were defeated, and everyone was happy, and finally saved their lives.

Wang Dou secretly remembered the expressions of these people, and in addition, he sighed in his heart, these bandits are not bad, even if they fight alone, the Ming army is not necessarily their opponent, but they have no battle formation, even against a sergeant like Dongjiazhuang, they are also a rabble, vulnerable, which makes Wang Dou even more determined the importance of the battle formation.
