Chapter 35 Arraying to meet the enemy
The bandits came very suddenly, and most of the officers and soldiers were completely unprepared, only the 120 soldiers under Pang Gang could prepare in time and finish the battle in front of their own camp.
The first to come into contact with the thieves was more than 30 family members under Hao Dayong, and since these family members were all riding horses, their reaction speed was also the fastest. Under the command of Hao Dayong, more than 30 family members quickly mounted their horses and rushed towards the bandits, trying to disrupt the bandits' charge with the impact of the horses.
But Pang Gang on the side found that although Hao Dayong's idea was not wrong, it was a pity that those family members were not real cavalry after all, they were at most a group of foot soldiers on horseback, and they did not form a joint force collectively, but dispersed and took turns to attack the bandits, which gave the bandits a chance to break through.
The bandits quickly withstood the charge of a dozen bandits in front of them with their spears, and they fell off their horses one by one, and the family members who had lost their horses were soon drowned in the sea of hundreds of bandits. The remaining dozen or so family members saw the fate of their companions, and immediately became timid, reined in the reins of their horses, and retreated.
Pang Gang, who was watching the battle from behind, shook his head secretly, from here he got another lesson, the cavalry that did not form a joint force was easy to be killed by the foot soldiers, and he must remember this lesson when forming the cavalry in the future.
After eliminating a dozen family members, the arrogance of the bandits increased a little more, and under the leadership of a thief chief, hundreds of bandits rushed towards the camp with a roar.
"Brothers, kill the officers and soldiers!"
"Rush!"
Seeing the chaotic bandits rushing over, the faces of all the officers, including Hao Dayong, began to change color, and now the officers and soldiers have not yet lined up their formation, if they fight with the bandits like this, they will easily be defeated by the other party.
Pang Gang looked back and saw that the soldiers he brought were already lined up behind him, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, don't panic, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and let the officials go first!" ”
After speaking, Pang Gang walked to the side of the team that had already lined up behind him, pulled out his scimitar and shouted: "All the armies listen to the order, the bird gunners are in front, and the pikemen are in the rear!" ”
After hearing Pang Gang's order, the drummer who had already prepared on the side immediately struck the big drum he was carrying.
"Knock Knock Knock"
As the heavy drums sounded, the one hundred and twenty soldiers divided into four lines and marched steadily forward in unison to the rhythm of the drums.
When the team reached two hundred and fifty paces away from the bandits, Pang Gang raised his scimitar and shouted, "Stop! ”
"Whoa!" With a bang, all the soldiers stopped.
And Wang Zhi, who was the general flag of the sixty bird guns, also raised the scimitar in his hand at this time and shouted: "Light the fire rope!" Reload now! ”
"Sneer"
With Wang Zhi's order, sixty bird-bearers lit the fire rope hanging around their necks with torches. Hold the Lu Mi Gong horizontally with your left hand, take the medicine jar with your right hand, take out the stuff from the mouth with your mouth, pour the medicine into the fire door pool, cover the lid, turn the gun slightly sideways with your left hand, make the fire eye upward, and gently tap it with your right hand to make the medicine enter the eye and connect with the medicine in the tube. After filling the medicine, the firecracker picks up the firerope and blows away the ashes, and places the firerope clamp in the dragon's head. After preparing all this, the first platoon of musketeers raised their guns and aimed them at the enemy in front, waiting for the order of the general flag at any time.
Wang Zhi, who commanded the battle for the first time, was also very nervous, he raised his scimitar and looked at the bandits rushing in front of him, only to feel that his legs trembled slightly, seeing that the bandits had rushed to a distance of one hundred and fifty steps, but he still couldn't help but didn't give the order to shoot.
Seeing that the officers and soldiers in front of them had already lined up in formation, all the bandits couldn't help but be a little stunned, and a bandit who followed behind the bandits hurriedly cheered up: "Brothers, as long as you rush to the officers and soldiers, they will be killed!" ”
Listening to the bandits' agitation, the bandits rushed forward again.
Seeing that the bandits had rushed to about one hundred and twenty steps, the scimitar in Wang Zhi's hand fell from a high place, and a burst of shouts came out of his mouth: "Release!" ”
With Wang Zhi's order, the thirty firecrackers in the front row, who had been waiting impatiently, pulled the trigger in their hands one after another!
"Bang Bang Bang"
With the sound of dull gunshots, the bandits who were desperately rushing forward only saw bursts of white smoke rising from the front, and the more than ten brothers who rushed to the front row flew backwards almost simultaneously as if they had been punched. More than a dozen brothers had fallen to the ground, howling loudly and in a terrible voice.
At this time, I only heard another loud shout from the front: "The first row of firecrackers retreats, the second row comes forward, let go!" ”
Another dull burst of gunfire rang out, and more than twenty more robbers fell to the ground.
Seeing the tragic situation of their companions in front of them, some of the bandits began to hesitate in their hearts, 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 endured their fear and continued to charge forward, at this time the musketeers led by Wang Zhi had not yet loaded the gunpowder lead bullets, and Pang Gang saw this and hurriedly asked the pikemen behind to step forward and prepare to resist.
"Spearmen come forward!"
"Forward!" With Da Zhuang's order, sixty pikemen walked in two rows in front of the birdman.
"Protection!"
"Whoa!"
Sixty spears were raised in unison, the tips of the spears parallel to their foreheads, and the pikemen formed a dense formation according to their usual training, facing the onrushing bandits.
Just as the two sides were preparing for the two armies to meet, a loud bang suddenly sounded behind them, and it turned out to be a tiger squat cannon brought by Lingshanwei and finally fired, and a lead pellet swept across the face like a rain of stones, and the more than a dozen bandits who rushed in front were blurred in flesh and blood, and many of them were rolling on the ground with their heads covered and screaming miserably.
An exclamation suddenly sounded in the group of bandits, "Cannon, the officers and soldiers have opened fire!" ”
The courage of the bandits was finally frightened away by the tiger cannon, and all the thieves and bandits were terrified, and they all turned their heads and fled desperately back, especially the bandit who escaped the fastest.
Seeing the bandits fleeing, the Chinese officers breathed a sigh of relief, Hao Dayong laughed, and ordered all the family members and more than a dozen people to get on their horses and chase after them. Watching Hei Tie with dozens of horsemen like wolves chasing forward to grab the merit, the faces of the Lingshan Wei officers were full of resentment.
However, all the bandits dispersed, and they managed to save their lives, and it was difficult to say anything.
Looking at the scattered bandits, Pang Gang secretly compared the combat effectiveness of his own soldiers and the other party in his heart, and found that if he picked up the ability to fight alone, his soldiers, who had only been trained for a few months, were really not the opponents of those habitual bandits, and the only estimate that could deal with them was to line up.
At this time, Hao Dayong turned around and said to Pang Gang: "Pang Baihu, you also order the soldiers to step forward and cut off the heads of the bandits." ”
Pang Gang knew that this was Hao Dayong's gesture of goodwill to himself, and he wanted to share some military exploits for himself, after all, if he hadn't led the army to resist the attack of the bandits just now, I am afraid that the camp would have been scattered by the bandits a long time ago. If you don't give yourself some military exploits, you can't say anything.
Just now, Pang Gang was really a little disgusted when he saw Hao Da's evil form when he used his life to steal merit, but this is the case with the Ming army at this time, grabbing merit is a trivial matter, and it is not uncommon to kill good and take merit. Everybody does that, and if you don't, you're out of the collective.
Therefore, Pang Gang held back the unhappiness in his heart, agreed, and immediately ordered the baggage soldiers behind him to step forward to clean up the battlefield.
The baggage soldiers who came with the army were originally only young and strong, and they had not been trained, and although they were ordered to go to the battlefield, their bodies were still trembling with their waist knives. In the end, it was still the leader who took the lead in cutting off the head of a seriously injured bandit, and only then did the baggage soldiers muster up the courage to cut off the heads of those dead bandits and put them in sacks.
When the baggage soldiers got off the battlefield, almost all of them vomited on the ground. Looking at the sergeants who were vomiting happily, Pang Gang nodded secretly in his heart, these heavy soldiers have already seen blood, and if they train well in the future, they will definitely be an elite soldier.
