Chapter 70: The Land and Water Battalion Joins the War

It may seem like a long time, but it's actually about 3 seconds. Zhu Houzhao immediately ordered, 20 people divided into 10 people, fought on both sides of the gate, corresponding to the people on the wall, and then lined up 4, 3, 3 formations and began to shoot.

The guard was stunned, and only then did he react, and the quick-witted man stood against the gate with the one who hit the door, so that he would not be shot. Most of them ran into the distance, hoping to escape from the range of their bows and arrows. It's just that the bow and arrow fly faster than the person, and the person on the wall does not dodge, but directly winds it and shoots a second rain of arrows. This time it was shot to 7,8 people. Moving prey is always a little harder to shoot.

Before the thieves in the Li Mansion had time to see the results of the second round, they only heard what seemed to be a sound, but in fact it was several "bangs", and 6 of the thieves standing there was a blood hole in their bodies, and they fell stiffly, and some of the blood splashed out was sprayed more than 2 meters away. The three groups of people were stunned, the thief had really never seen this thing, he didn't expect it to be so powerful and so ferocious. The Shenji battalion of the Ming Dynasty rarely shined on the battlefield since the Tumubao Change, and decades have passed, and many Tatars have heard of firearms, but have not seen them. The same was true of the guards, who stared at the white smoke from the flintlock pistols. The land and water battalion has never shot anyone, and they have never been soldiers before, and this time it was basically the first time to kill people. Although the snake fruit pig was trained to be a pig, the feeling that people gave them was very different, so they were also stunned.

Zhu Houzhao shouted half-joyed and half-angry, "What are you doing in a daze, continue shooting." Only then did the three groups of people come back to their senses, Zhu Houwei's face was ugly, although this was the second time he had seen the killing, but he still had some feelings of wanting to vomit, but it was a little bit worse than the previous time. Eight people on both sides retreated to the third row and began to reload. The six people in the second row took a step forward, Zhu Houzhao shouted "put" and "bang", and four more people fell on the wall. At a distance of 50 meters, the accuracy of the musket is okay. Lead bullets can easily deform and change shape when they enter the human body, causing great damage to enemies. The disadvantage is that the piercing is insufficient, and it basically cannot hit the target behind the enemy.

Then it's time for the archers and musketeers to shoot. Due to the small number of people in the amphibious battalion, the positions are relatively scattered, but with three-stage shooting, the rate of fire is relatively fast, a group of people can shoot about 10 times a minute, and the archers will be slightly slower, and a single person is about 8 arrows a minute. And the upper winding can't bend over, can only stand upright, very suffering. The musketeer Zhuang Tian went to the back, basically almost 60 meters away from the courtyard wall, and even if he was shot at this distance, it would not be fatal. The person who shoots in the first row can dodge within 1 or 2 seconds of the bow and arrow flying, if he reacts quickly. If you can't dodge, as long as it's not a fatal part, you can save it.

It had been 2 minutes since the shooting, and there were only 5 archers left, while only 3 people from the amphibious battalion were wounded, one was hit by an arrow in the thigh and two in the stomach. In contrast, the arrow in the leg is more serious. In addition to the cloth on the body, the upper body of the water and land battalion is also wrapped in a layer of silk, which is very useful for arrow wounds. Silk is difficult to be shot by a bow and arrow, the front will be wrapped in silk and enter the human body a little, as long as the silk is pulled, the bow and arrow will also come out.

Suddenly, a man's voice came from the courtyard, speaking not in Chinese, and the five thieves who were not injured immediately jumped off the wall and disappeared. Zhu Houzhao shouted at the guards, "Quick, hit the door." Several people immediately began to collide again.

There are 2 officers on the side of the amphibious battalion who know how to treat wounds, and are now disinfecting and bandaging the wounded soldiers with spirits before going to treat the wounded guards. Zhu Houwei listened to the ** of the guards on the ground and the cry for help, and was very anxious, and immediately sent a few uninjured guards to the county to find Lang Zhong to come to assist in treatment.

Now there are about 15 wounded guards, and it will take a long time to rely on 2 officers of the amphibious battalion. It's a pity that the military doctors trained by themselves did not come with 50 people.

Without interference, 7 or 8 guards finally opened the gate of the Li Mansion 2 minutes later. As soon as the gate here opened, I heard gunshots not far away, and Zhu Houzhao said to Zhu Houwei, "It's not good, they ran away from behind." Zhu Houwei nodded, "It's okay, there are 30 people behind, even if you can't stop them, it is estimated that there will not be too many people who can run." Zhu Houzhao immediately ordered the uninjured guards to be divided into two groups, one group of ten people to guard the gate in case the enemy attacked the west, and the other group of 20 people was responsible for sending the wounded to safety.

The two brothers led 17 people along the outside of the courtyard wall of the Li Mansion to the back door. The gunfire continued, and when they got closer, the two of them heard the sound of horses' hooves, and they were even more anxious, but they didn't expect the thief to have a horse.

When I finally arrived, I found that the battle situation was quite good, 30 people were injured and 2 people were injured, both of them were injured in their hands and feet, which should not be serious, about 30 out of the ground were lying on more than 10 horses, and about 20 people were lying on the ground motionless. At this time, the general flag came over and saluted, "My lord, there are 2 enemies running to the north gate, and it is estimated that there are 10 more people in the courtyard." Zhu Hou took a look, the team was standing on the side of the road to shoot, and did not directly line up to shoot at the enemy in the middle of the road, otherwise it would not be just 2 people who were injured, and the enemy did not want to fight hard, mainly to escape.

Zhu Houzhao nodded and said, "Okay, you continue to stare here, wait for the opportunity to get in, capture alive if you can, kill if you can't, ensure your safety, and I will chase the two who escaped." ”

After speaking, he ran to the north gate with 17 and Zhu Houwei. People must not be able to outrun the horses, but the city gate is closed, and there are dozens of Beijing camp guards guarding it. Those two couldn't escape.

Huairen County is not big, and after 5 minutes, Zhu Houzhao led the team to the gate of the north city, and saw the guards gathered around the corpse at the city gate with a depressed face, and there were 5 corpses of guards around. Zhu Houzhao ran over and asked, "What about people, what about the other one?" At this time, a guard came out and said, "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the thieves are unusually fierce, killed our five brothers, and with their divine power, opened the city gate, and the other ran away on horseback, but this person has been killed by us." Saying a sentence pointing to the corpse on the ground, Brother Zhu Houzhao saw fear in the eyes of the guards around him, and it seemed that this person on the ground was brave. Looking at the man on the ground again, the two of them were also surprised for a while, although they were lying on the ground, but the first impression was that they were huge and strong. The length should be 2 meters, and the appearance is slightly different from that of the Han people, Zhu Houwei feels like a Mongolian at a glance, and the appearance of this Mongolian is still a little different. His eyes were wide open, and even though he was dead, he was still very fierce. There were at least 10 arrows stuck in his body, and it seems that he was shot to death in the end, not hacked to death with a knife.

Zhu Houwei asked the guard, "You saw him running north, right?" The dozen or so guards around him all nodded. Zhu Houwei pulled the angry Zhu Houzhao and shook his head slightly, and then Zhu Houzhao said, "Okay, put away the corpses and continue to guard the city gate." After speaking, he brushed his sleeves away, and Zhu Houwei and the soldiers of the land and water battalion also followed.

Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Houwei walked side by side, and suddenly Zhu Houzhao said hatefully, "What do these guards of the Beijing camp usually do, looking at the tall and tall people, how can they not move seriously, look, dozens of people watched the two, 5 were killed, one enemy was killed, one was let go, and the city gate was opened, this is the elite of the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Zhu Houwei replied with a smile: "The Beijing camp is unusable, and you don't know it." That thief can pull the city gate with his own strength, which shows that he is indeed born with divine power. Letting someone go now is infuriating, but it's also beneficial. Zhu Houzhao turned his head and asked, "What benefits?" ”

Zhu Houwei said with a smile, "Those guards said that he ran to the north, and the north is Datong." Zhu Houzhao nodded and continued on his way.

After a while, he came to the Li Mansion, and a small flag came over to report, "My lord, we have entered and killed 12 enemies, and there are no casualties ourselves, and now the general banner is clearing the remaining enemies in the mansion." Zhu Houzhao's mood improved, he smiled and nodded, and led people into the back door of the Li Mansion.
