Chapter Eighty-Eight: Madness vs. Madness
"Where's the cannon!?"
Seeing that this round of guns made the bandits a little confused, Li Xian wanted Xiao Shengfa to add another yard, but saw this guy staring straight at the non-stop shotgun formation. was yelled at by Li Xian, and he came to his senses.
"This ...... That's the power of shotguns! ”
Xiao Sheng's cells all over his body were trembling happily, beckoning the gunners on the left and right flanks, but he saw that they were all staring at the large white mist in a daze, and the blood light that danced like musical notes in the white mist.
"The gunshot...... It's so fast! ”
Yang Chun in the rear shivered, he had never heard a platoon of guns with such a short interval.
"The gunshot...... Something is wrong......"
Five or six miles away, 17,800 men from the two battalions of the Banner, who had already set up a position to the west, from soldiers to generals, all turned their ears sideways, trying to catch the faint sound wafting from the west, and everyone had a new expression on their faces.
"That guy's gun formation skills are really not playing false!"
Shi Shibiu's face was not novel, but shocked.
"Less than five breaths is a shot! This is no ordinary shotgun formation! Back then, Jinghaihou said that the black slave shotgunners under Zheng Jing could achieve six rows of five breaths and one shot, and the rotation was endless, but at that time, I thought it was just a rumor. Unexpectedly, the shotgunners trained by Xiao Sheng actually reproduced the black slave shotgun array of the year! ”
Beside Shi Shibiu, the Chinese army Luo Huaien muttered with a red face.
"The middle battalion is on the left, the right battalion is on the right, and it is advancing rapidly to the west! Be sure to keep the bandits in your pocket! Can't let Yang Chun go! ”
Shi Shibiao waved his hand abruptly and hurriedly ordered.
"Military Gate!?"
Luo Huaien was puzzled, didn't he say just now that he was going to wait for Yang Chun to attack?
"I didn't move at that time, it was Yang Chun who would come over by himself. Don't move at this point...... Yang Chun is about to run away! ”
Shi Shibiao scolded angrily, and the generals suddenly realized that such a fierce shotgun bombardment, the bandits estimated that they would not be able to withstand it.
The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and only five or six miles apart, the news from both sides is foggy, and there are many deviations in judgment.
Two cannon shots rang out, and the brigade of bandits thirty or forty paces away wailed, and the steps that were still hesitant suddenly became resolute. Li Xian didn't care about looking at the retreating bandits, he was listening to Zhang Ying's return with Xiao Sheng.
"Shi Shibiao can't come!?"
Xiao Sheng said angrily, and he didn't even need the honorific title of "Military Gate".
"Probably...... Should...... Maybe it's because the situation of the supervision is unclear, and Shi Junmen has to act seriously. ”
Zhang Ying wiped his sweat and hurriedly reminded Xiao Sheng that Shi Shibiao was the boss, how did he act, Xiao Sheng, the acting head of the small camp, was not qualified to speak.
"What is he doing here?"
Li Shi plucked out his nostrils and flicked his fingers, which seemed to bounce Shi Shibiao off.
"Yes...... Hey...... Don't come here! ”
Xiao Sheng's thoughts turned around and he laughed. This is their new outfit, they only dared to block Yang Chun before, but they didn't expect that after fighting, they found that they actually had the strength to defeat Yang Chun alone, of course he didn't want Shi Shibiao to run over and take away the battle merits.
Seeing that the subordinates of the brigade turned their heads and fled back, Yang Chun sank his face, and after a while, he laughed angrily: "Okay...... All right...... A thousand people, and the archers to cover, can't even get close to the front of the people, what about the people who lead the team, pull over! ”
A bandit leader was dragged over, Yang Chun's eyebrows were twisted, and the word "cut" was about to be exported, but the leader shouted: "Opposite is that kid Li Xian!" I have someone under my command who followed Niu Shiyi half a month ago, and he saw it with his own eyes, and in front of him were the young soldiers under Li Shi! ”
Hearing the name Niu Shiyi, a slight gasping sound sounded around him. Everyone knew that Niu Shiyi took the Qingyuan bandits to act without authorization and ran to attack the newly built Zhuangzi in Fengtian Village at night, but only more than ten of the two hundred or so people escaped. The heads of the others are still piled up outside the Zhuangzi, and the one who led the villagers to kill Niu Shiyi's gang was the young man Li Shi, who was said to be only sixteen or seventeen years old.
"Li Xian......"
This Yang Chun already felt that the name was a little unfamiliar, like a red-hot iron bar, suddenly stabbed into his brain.
"Originally, I was thinking that after defeating Shi Shibiao and occupying Yingde, I would clean him up. At that time, he and his gang of mud-legged men will be the ants under my feet, and I can torture them as slowly as I like, so that they cannot survive or die...... Otherwise, the qi in my heart will not be dissolved. ”
Yang Chun said slowly, "But I didn't expect that he took the initiative to find me, it seems that we are really enemies of fate......"
The originally calm eyes suddenly bulged, and Yang Chun gritted his teeth and said, "The whole army!" Offensive! ”
The subordinates froze, and after a while, everyone spoke.
"General...... Shi Shibiu's bid will arrive at any time. ”
"Why don't you retreat to Hengshitang first, and then turn around and beat them when the officers and soldiers chase after you!"
"Let's stop rushing to the front, go around left and right and surround them."
"What about the cannon? Find someone who is not afraid of death, push the cannon closer and bombard them! ”
With a bang, Yang Chun drew his sword and immediately stopped his gossip.
"Li Shi, I must kill him here! If you want to be blocked by a stinky kid like him, what face do I Yang Chun have to take over the world! ”
He hissed and shouted, "Either he dies or I die!" ”
The voice of the promised voice came, and Li Xi and Xiao Sheng glanced at each other and couldn't stop laughing. Is Yang Chun crazy? A few miles away, there was Shi Shibiu's promotion, and he rushed up with the whole army, fighting with their hundreds of people? What does the brain think?
"Will it work?"
A madman can't use ordinary Taoist theories, seeing the crowd in the distance rolling closer, Xiao Sheng was very unsure.
"Did you do your best?"
Li Shi asked, and Xiao Sheng shook his head.
"That's it, let's try it and see how far we can go."
After Li Xian finished speaking, he walked towards the shotgun array, looking at his back, Xiao Sheng only felt a hot current surging in his throat. For more than 30 years, his wish has been realized step by step by such a kid, and he vaguely feels that his fate seems to be being led by this back.
"Don't underestimate me!"
Xiao Sheng puffed up his heart and laughed again.
"Boys, turn around!"
With a shout from Li Xian, the Death Cycle started again. originally planned for the safety of his own people, Li Xianben also looked forward to Shi Shibiu's reinforcements. But seeing that his people have not done their best, the bandits are a little unbearable, and they also have the idea of seeing where the limit can go, so let's use this battlefield as a hammer, and use these boys under their own command, as well as the miners who came with them, and continue to beat them into timber with themselves.
Before, Li Xi was worried that the bandits would outflank and attack from all sides, but Xiao Sheng sneered and said that if these bandits can really play these tricks, then they are not bandits. Being able to gather them together and rush forward, Yang Chun's ability has far surpassed that of ordinary bandit leaders. Even if he is a famous general, the bandits under him are not elite soldiers......
Therefore, this battle is simply a straight and hard-fought battle, and for Li Shi, this is an excellent opportunity to experience.
The impact of the bandit crowd was much more violent than the previous time, but Xiao Sheng's cooperation also kept up, the rhythm of bows and arrows and mountain splitting cannons was mixed in the row of guns, and the bandits began to suffer from repeated blows from a hundred paces away, and their pace suddenly slowed down. They didn't stop, all the leaders were in the formation, and a black flag was fluttering in the middle of the crowd, with white characters modeled on the official flag "General Tianwei, Zhengnanhou, Yang", with this black flag to promote, the bandits were stunned and still moved forward with guns.
"Not fast enough!"
Seventy or eighty paces away, the bandits' archers fired again, the shotgunners were also firing, the shotgun formation began to have casualties, and the mountain-splitting cannons on both wings were the key targets, and the soldiers who had been lying in a circle were already lying in a circle. The bombardment of twenty shotguns per row could not deter the sacrificial impact of one or two thousand bandits, and Li Xian shouted loudly.
"Go reload! All the idle go to reload! ”
Xiao Sheng hurriedly transferred the reserve hand-to-hand combat soldiers to serve as auxiliaries, and there were three or four people waiting for a shotgun. One charge, one load, one compacted with a strip, and the recoiling shotgunner only had to wait three to five seconds to get the loaded shotgun.
Pengpeng's gunfire was even more intensive, faintly making Li Xi feel that he had a trick to know how to strike, he kept talking, and in the next few rounds, it was already almost three or four seconds before a fire, and the crowd of people forty or fifty steps away seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, constantly throwing blood, and the thieves who rushed forward violently became sparse under the round of guns, although they were still advancing, their steps seemed to be extremely staggering.
This has almost caught up with the rate of fire of the flintlock pistol, not only relying on the redundant manpower and the turnover of the shotgun, but the newly created shotgun is more important, not such a shotgun, it simply cannot withstand such a frequency of continuous fire.
In a minute, in a minute, the death wheel of the shotgun array turned ten rounds, harvesting at least one hundred and fifty or sixty men, and knocking the bravest of the thieves to the ground. Combined with the results of the two-wing archers and the mountain-splitting cannons, the bandit brigade rushed close to fifty paces and paid the price of more than two hundred men. This number does not feel like much, but it is where the courage of the whole army of bandits lies.
Seeing that the opposing brigade was almost stopped, it seemed to be hovering between detours and retreats left and right, Li Xi was trying to take a breath, and his heart was numb from the crowd of one or two thousand people, but out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a group of bandits holding bullets against the bullets, pushing the two mountain splitting cannons to about forty steps away, and there were many large cracks in his heart.
"Knock out those gunners!"
Li Shi's shouts changed tone, and before he could shout, his own mountain splitting cannon on the left flank was aimed in that direction, and the archers and shotgunners also selected the bandit gunners.
Rumble...... Rumble......
The mountain-splitting cannons of both sides exploded almost simultaneously, a large area of blood mist bloomed at the same time, and the dense screams sounded for the first time on Li Xianxiaosheng's side, and the two gunners of the cannon on the left flank, together with the two rattan knife players, were covered in blood and fell to the ground with wails. And the bandits' side was no better, at least three of the bandits were beaten into a bloody sieve by the shotguns, and the rest also escaped from the gun position.
Several bandits leaned towards the mountain splitting cannon again, and after a burst of gunfire, Peng Peng fell down, and one of his head was like a smashed watermelon, and the white and red slurry sprayed everywhere with the broken skull, startling several bandits around him to crawl and flee.
"Headshot!"
Wu Ya put away the gun, and raised his chin towards Jia Hao while walking backwards, the two of them have been directing the gun formation, and only when Li Xi took over the command did they have time to shoot, and after holding the gun, they involuntarily compared their marksmanship. Before, Li Xi called them headshots when they hit the target's head, and they didn't understand it very well, but now they have seen it with their own eyes.
"What's the spirit!?"
Jia Hao pouted, but he had to admit that he was indeed inferior to Wu Ya in terms of marksmanship. During the ten days of training, everyone has recognized that the best marksmanship is Luo Tangyuan's kid, and the most violent is Wu Ya, because he likes "headshots", and he has the most target heads on the bullet.
The danger of the mountain splitting cannon was over, and Li Shi was about to gasp again, Xiao Sheng shouted again: "The bandits are going crazy, pay attention!" ”
When I looked up, sure enough, the big flag was shaking rapidly, breaking through the crowd, and was rushing forward.
Li Shi's heart contracted again, and the result of not having enough experience was like this, sooner or later he would have a heart attack.
Faintly hearing a certain voice shouting to the death, Li Xian hurriedly used his brain, the bandits are really desperate, twenty shotguns per row are absolutely unstoppable......
"You're crazy, can't I be crazy!?"
He took a deep breath and waved his arm high, and the shotgunner in the front row thought he was going to fire again, and just put his finger on the trigger, he heard him shout: "Everyone! Two rows in front and back! ”
The bandits had already rushed to thirty paces, the feather arrows were constantly whizzing by, and the lead was screaming through the air, and there were people in the back who kept screaming, and Li Xian didn't care.
Whether you can repel the bandits or not depends on this game......
