Chapter 57: Useless is the Guard
A normal swarm of bees has a range of 100 steps, but the swarm of bees that Zhu Pet bought with a lot of money is less than 80 steps. The first launch, the ten tubes and the swarm didn't even hit the side of the thief, so it was wasted.
Now that the thief had rushed into fifty steps, Zhu Pet shouted and asked the family to shoot all the remaining ten barrels of three hundred and twenty arrows.
"Damn it, you're not dead yet!" Zhu Pet's face was swollen and red, with a constipation-like expression of dry stool, his fists were clenched, and he stared at the rocket that flew towards the thief like a swarm of bees.
The smoke of gunpowder was filled, and each rocket was busy flying with fireworks like honey in a hundred flowers.
The more than 100 thieves who were running were instantly enveloped by this swarming of ten tubes and bees.
In front of the nine-headed bird cavalry at the rear of the battle formation, Li Chunjiang held a clairvoyant mirror to see all this clearly, and when he saw that the thief had been shrouded in gunsmoke, he waved his fist excitedly, "Hit!" ”
Liu Jun also held a clairvoyant mirror, without the orders of Zhao Cheng and Mei Zhihuan, he honestly led the team to guard the rear formation, and did not take a step forward. Zhu Qianhu actually brought a swarm of bees, which also surprised him, but what was even more surprising was that he was completely missed in the first round. Although this second round has completely enveloped the thief, Liu Jun was not half excited, just shook his head and pouted softly, "Then it is not an egg!"
"And then the eggs? What do you mean? Li Chunjiang was puzzled.
"But it's useless." Liu Jun shook his head and said, don't look at the strong effect of the momentum when a swarm of bees is launched, but in fact, the real function of this weapon is to make a sound and make some chaos.
The swarm of bees scurrying around with fireworks in the sky, even in the face of a dense array, it is difficult to cause any real lethality.
"Impossible?" Li Chunjiang was frightened by the momentum of the swarm and did not believe Liu Jun's words. But the next moment, I saw that in the thick smoke of gunpowder, none of the thieves suddenly jumped out.
The wind blew away some of the gunsmoke, and Li Chunjiang was surprised to see that the more than 100 bandits who rushed down the mountain seemed to have no loss at all under the blows of two rounds and a swarm of bees.
"Well, not bad, three shots, one in the face, one in the chest, and one in the arm. Two dead and one wounded, not bad. Liu Jun held up the clairvoyant mirror and counted the effect of the amazing swarm of bees just now at a glance.
In addition to the first round in the firing range, the second round of 10 barrels and 320 rockets finally hit three people, two dead and one wounded. This result surprised Liu Jun a little. It's not that there are too few accidental kills, but I feel that this round of kills is very high.
Three hundred and twenty rockets, killing two and injuring one, Liu Jun still thinks it is high, indeed, this kind of swarm, the killing effect is too low.
Compared with Liu Jun's expectations, Li Chunjiang's mouth couldn't close in shock. It was so majestic and so scary when it was launched, and as a result, at a distance of fifty paces, only three of the three hundred and twenty rockets hit?
"Don't be surprised, this kind of thing is a rocket, whether it is a single launch, or a swarm of thirty-two, or a hundred tigers running together, in fact, it is more of a momentum, and it is unrealistic to really want to kill the enemy with this thing." Liu Jun ruthlessly hit Li Chunjiang.
However, what hit him harder than Li Chunjiang was Zhu Pet and his guards and military households.
After watching the two rounds of swarms, the thieves rushed to the front almost intact, and the soldiers who were still cheering just now trembled with fright, and their faces were colorless. Some people are even shouting, "The thief has a demon protector!" ”
Then someone shouted, "Run!" ”
Zhu Pet didn't have time to control it, and his one hundred and fifty military households almost turned around and fled in unison. These fleeing military households first rushed towards Zhu Pet's family team, and the family looked at the fierce thieves and the panicked military households, and turned around directly.
"Grown, go!"
"Retreat to the back first."
Zhu Pet was hugged by his subordinates and retreated, or ran away.
Seeing Zhu Pet's Qianhu Recognition Flag retreating, the thieves became more and more excited, a group of useless dog officers and soldiers, kill.
On the hillside on the other side, Zhao Cheng's gloomy face was about to drip water, and the two hundred guards in front of him released two rounds of bees, and then fled directly.
Mei Zhihuan didn't seem to be surprised at all, "Bingxian, it's better to let Zhu Qianhu withdraw to the side and form a team, and let my people immediately!" Mei Zhihuan is still very confident in his hometown.
Zhao Cheng could only nod with a dark face at this time.
Mei Zhihuan waved his hand, and immediately a flag bearer began to wave the flag, and the horns and drums began to sound in the ranks of the Baoshengbao Township Regiment behind the guards, and the main barracks of the Township Regiment stepped forward, and the horse team escorted on both sides.
Zhu Pet and a group of his subordinates hurriedly fled to the township regiment barracks that were slowly moving forward, and several of the fastest soldiers rushed to the front of the formation, wanting to squeeze inside.
Hu Gongguo, the official of the township regiment in the barracks, rode his horse slowly, looked coldly at the embarrassed military households, stretched out his right hand to his waist, drew his sword out of the sheath, and then clamped the horse's belly between his legs, galloped to the front of the queue of the main barracks, waved his knife again and again, and cut down three guards who tried to rush into the front of the main barracks in an instant.
Several military servants fell to the ground, blood dripping from the ground.
This sudden change frightened the soldiers who fled in embarrassment, and they paused there one by one, at a loss, they couldn't understand how their own people could kill their own people.
Hu Gongguo held his bloodstained waist knife and shouted to those soldiers, "Those who dare to retreat from the battle will be killed, and those who dare to try to charge the battle will be killed!" ”
Death is more direct and effective than any military order, those military households looked at the bloody waist knife, and they all couldn't help but retreat, behind were fierce bandits, and in front were even more fierce village braves, and there was no way out.
Over there, Zhu Pet's face was also pale with fright, he didn't expect that Hu Gongguo, who had a great reputation, to be so fierce, but he didn't want to turn back, at this time, it was still his captain who was witty, "My lord, let's retreat to the side and gather the people again." ”
Zhu Pet reacted smartly all of a sudden, and immediately shouted, "The guards and horses will gather to the left with me, and all the guards and horses will move closer to my banner!" ”
Shouting this slogan, he immediately turned to the left, bypassing the array of the township regiment and the barracks that were advancing. When the other guards saw it, they also ran to the side with the flag of the thousand households.
At this time, the bandits over there had already bitten the tails of the defeated soldiers of the guards, and were wielding knives and guns to slash and stab, killing several guards at once. The second leader saw at a glance that the officers and soldiers had formed a large formation again, and looked at the neat formation, and his heart was a little empty. However, he glanced at the guards who were fleeing for their lives, and immediately held the knife and shouted, "Poke them in the eye with Lao Tzu, don't let them run away." ”
The second master is very smart, he used to follow the king of the chaos, a tactic often used, that is, to avoid the real and the virtual, first attack the weakest part of the official army, and then drive these official and defeated soldiers to rush their own formation, as long as they keep staring at those defeated soldiers and keep chasing and fighting, many times they can finally let the official army break the official army by themselves.
Now the second master plans to do it again.
Zhu Pet finally ran to the left side of the barracks, thinking that there would be a chance to breathe now, but who knew that when he turned around, the thieves were biting their buttocks.
Zhu Pet complained bitterly, Grandpa, why do you just stare at Lao Tzu, there is no way, continue to retreat.
Liu Jun, who was holding a clairvoyant mirror, also discovered the purpose of Zhu Pet and the thief at once.
They all avoided the main barracks and the horse team in front of them, and came around the front of the Hydra Cavalry from the left side.
"Jiye, thieves are coming at us!" Li Chunjiang shouted.
"I see it." Liu Jun was not the slightest nervous and worried. They are not fighting alone, as long as they are not scattered by the thieves, the thieves are killing themselves and breaking into the encirclement by themselves. As long as the nine-headed bird blocks the thief, and the main barracks and horse team turn around again, the thief will become a turtle in the urn.
"Winter dog, blast the military household that rushed to the front to Lao Tzu!" Liu Jun planned to kill the thieves just to make soy sauce, but now that Zhu Pet came at them with the bandits, there was no reason for him to retreat.
However, he didn't plan to let those military households break up his array, the nine-headed bird only fought one battle, and the training time was not too long, in case the array was scattered, then they really might not be able to block the fierce impact of the bandits.
In order to avoid this, Liu Jun intended to follow the example of the Duchy of Hu.
Dong Gouzi looked back at Liu Jun with some doubts, it was the military households of the guard who rushed over there, they were the real soldiers of the imperial court.
"Shoot!" Liu Jun glared at Dong Gouzi and continued to shout.
Winter Dog gritted his teeth, and he couldn't hesitate. Immediately kneeling on the ground with one foot and bent on the other, holding a large lifting gun on a three-legged stand in his hand, he opened the fire door cover, and aimed his eyes at the soldier who kept running in.
It was a thin man, probably about the same age as him, maybe he hadn't married yet. At this time, the man's face was full of panic, and he just ran desperately.
"Amitabha!" Winter Dog silently recited the Buddha name in his heart, and then pulled the trigger hard.
The next moment, a loud bang sounded, and a penny and a half weight of lead bullets sprayed out, and the barrel of the gun was filled with a puff of gunsmoke, and Winter Dog couldn't see anything clearly, but he knew that he must have hit the target.
Although this is not the first time he has hit the target, but after pulling the trigger this time, his hands are shaking, he is not killing thieves and bandits, he has killed an officer and soldier of the guard, and killed a man of his own.
The smoke dispersed with the wind, and he finally saw his target lying on the ground with a red chest, the man didn't seem to be dead, still struggling, but he knew that this man was not saved. The majesty of the nine-headed bird's spear is far stronger than that of the bird's gun, and if it hits the chest without armor, the man will surely die.
Zhu pet peeed.
The warm urine soaked his thighs, and if he hadn't sat on the horse, he would have collapsed on the ground by now. The family members guarded him tightly, and then the leader of the family team hurriedly shouted, "To the left, to the left!" ”
The Hydra Battalion wounded a soldier in the guard station with one shot, so that none of the officers and soldiers in the guard house dared to continue to rush to the nine-headed bird formation, and cautiously bypassed to the side.
Liu Jun only disdained these frightened military households, and did not stop them, as long as they did not come to rush his formation.
"Gun team, aim!" Liu Jun looked at the bandits who followed the defeated and retreating military households, and his eyes showed a cold light.
