Chapter 59: Tiger! Tiger! Tiger!
The second master looked at the hundreds of villagers who had cut off their retreat and outflanked them, and regretted it in his heart, he knew that these officers and soldiers were so difficult, and he would not take the initiative to go down the mountain to fight if he was killed. Originally, I wanted to take advantage of the absence of the big boss to do a majestic thing, but who knows, now my life is going to be gone.
There were more men and horses from behind, at least three or four hundred, and there were more than a hundred cavalry on each wing, these were not the cowards who had been rushed and routed by him before, and when he saw their neat and uniform pace, he knew that these were definitely the elite troops in the official army.
Tiger! Tiger! Tiger!
With three loud roars, the shieldmen in the front row of the main barracks of the Baoshengbao Township Regiment slammed the big shield to the ground, and the team stopped advancing. The original column quickly spread out into a horizontal line.
Behind the row of shields in the front row were handfuls of birds.
The Baosheng Fort Barracks Bird Gun Team, a full ten teams of bird guns, as many as one hundred and twenty people, this is the backbone of the Baosheng Fort Barracks, the elite of the elite, everyone is equipped with advanced arquebus guns, and each bird gun soldier has at least ten gun pipes.
Compared with Liu Jun's team, which has only been established for more than a month, Mei Zhihuan's bird-gunners are really musketeers.
"Aim!" A flag in the queue with a flag on his back shouted loudly. One hundred and twenty musketeers, standing behind their shields, completed their pre-firing preparations, began to open the firing door covers, and took aim with their guns.
When the second master looked at the rows of black holes and holes on the opposite side, he couldn't help but feel like his soul was flying out of the sky. Just now, there were only thirty or forty large and small guns in the back, and they collapsed directly, and there were more than a hundred of them at once, and they still had to be wiped out? He tried to comfort himself in his heart, the one just now must be the elite of the elite in the official army, the family of the family, these people must not be as powerful as just now.
While he was still comforting himself like this, a series of explosions suddenly sounded on the opposite side, and puffs of white smoke rose, and then the brothers around him suddenly fell to the ground screaming one after another.
In an instant, the second boss estimated that at least a dozen brothers around him fell to the ground.
"Fuck, shitty gunslinger!" The second master's heart trembled, and he realized that these gunskeepers who had just fired were only afraid that they were more sophisticated than the previous guns.
At least a hundred paces away, the officers and soldiers shot down more than a dozen of his brothers in one round, and he noticed that the guns of the officers and soldiers did not blow up a single shot. The official army's bird gun actually didn't explode, this thing is too abnormal. And the other party actually hit so accurately!
There was a thud and thump and bang
The second master miraculously failed to be hit in two rounds of bird gun shooting, but he didn't have time to be happy, only a moment of effort, the shield array of the official formation was followed by a series of explosions, and a few more fell on his side with a bang.
A guy was hit directly on the chin by a piece of lead, and then the whole jaw was blown to pieces, but this guy was actually lucky, it was not a fatal injury, the guy had no jaw, blood, and the ghost couldn't make a normal sound when he roared, and the appearance was extremely scary.
"Rush over, his grandmother, the brother who doesn't want to die, all rush over with Lao Tzu!"
At this time, less than half of the more than 100 bandits who came down the mountain were left, except for the crying father and mother who killed a group of guards at the beginning, and then they were left with the situation that they couldn't just be beaten. The firearms of the officers and soldiers were sharp and terrifying, numerous and ruthless, biting and painful. Especially those big birds, the middle of them will die.
Everyone was desperate, but it was in this hopeless despair that the bandits inspired the courage to die, and they began to fight to the death, and for a time they became more ferocious.
But they are so fierce, but the main barracks of the Baoshengbao Township Regiment turn a blind eye.
The formation of the main barracks has changed from a longitudinal formation based on the mandarin duck formation to a horizontal formation, with a shield wall in front, archers, hook gunners, bird gunners in the back, and even a row of heavy firepower in the back, lifting guns, tiger squatting cannons, and even two Franc machines of more than 300 catties. Mei Zhihuan once led this team to suppress bandits everywhere, and the original large number of bandits in the territory were basically wiped out by him.
This township regiment was also very well-trained, and in the face of forty or fifty defeated thieves and bandits, they did not pay the slightest attention to it.
A horn sounded, and the shield soldiers in the front row took another step forward with their shields, and then slammed their shields to the ground, followed by a chorus of shouts, "Tiger!" ”
Then he took another step forward and shouted again, "Tiger! ”
"Tiger!" Take a step forward for the third time.
The entire barracks also seemed to have chanted with these three steps, and the morale was extremely high.
Lu Yuansun and Lu Yuanrang the two brothers in the team and shouted, "Forward!" Death to those who retreat! ”
Dozens of bandits who were desperately struggling to fight the trapped beasts finally rushed to the front of the formation, and the first thing that greeted them was the rain of arrows behind the formation.
Almost one-third of the battalion was equipped with bows, and more than 100 bows fired three arrows in a row, and arrows rained down.
The dozens of bandits who charged desperately fell more than a dozen.
After firing three arrows, the villagers in the war camp had already put down their bows and lifted their waist knives, two-handed long blades, spears, hook guns, boring palladium, big sticks and other long and short melee weapons.
Zhao Cheng looked at the few dozen bandits left on the field at this time, and his face looked much better. However, he said to Mei Zhihuan with some regret, "Mei Gong, there are dozens of thieves left, why don't you let the horse team directly cover up left and right and crush them in one fell swoop?" ”
"Horse teams are used more for maneuvering, supporting, and pursuing, as well as protecting brigades on the battlefield, flanking enemy formations, etc. The horse team is expensive, so after all, you have to rely on the foot team to destroy the thief. At the moment, there are only a few dozen thieves left, so why use a horse team. "Mei Zhihuan's training of village soldiers is very disciplined, although there are horse teams, artillery teams, but these are just the trump cards in his hands, good steel is only used on the blade, such as the current situation, he will not move the horse team artillery team at will, let the team, but also in actual combat to enhance the combat ability of the infantry team.
The horses only stood on the flanks of the infantry and did not attack.
The bandits had already rushed to the front, and the pikemen behind the shield wall shouted loudly, and a long row of bamboo spears suddenly stabbed out. These bamboo guns are also regarded as the unique equipment of the southern army, the use of bamboo in the south, a bamboo gun is more than a zhang long, the dry bamboo gun is lighter than the ordinary wooden gun, but the gun is stronger, more able to resist the knife cut, and the cost is cheap, the south is full of bamboo, it is quite convenient to use.
Dozens of bamboo spears more than a foot long suddenly stabbed out, and a group of bandits who were already full of blood and blood couldn't stop, as if they had deliberately crashed into the thorn forest that suddenly bloomed on the shield wall.
The sound of "poof" bamboo guns entering the flesh came and went, sounding one after another, and the sharp bamboo guns stabbed into the chests of the thieves who were rushing at high speed, killing five or six thieves in an instant.
Liu Jun held up the clairvoyant mirror from a distance and couldn't take his eyes off it, the calmness of these bamboo gunners, their strength, all made Liu Jun amazed. Although his team can now rely on long-range firepower to defeat a weaker opponent in the early stage of engagement, he really wants such a close combat fight, and he really envies the opponent's toughness.
The bamboo spear is more than a zhang long, but it is much longer than the ordinary wooden pole gun, and even if the thief carries the wooden gun to stab, but there is still a distance between the two spears that is at least one person long.
They were stabbed to death on bamboo spears, but the wooden spears in their hands were still a few feet away from the pikemen behind the shield wall.
They can't even stab the spearmen if they die.
Several of the thieves who were pierced were not dead for a while, and they had a ferocious attack, and they actually held the barrel of the gun with both hands, preventing the pikemen from pulling back the bamboo gun. The thieves behind seized the opportunity and rushed to the front, wanting to rush directly into the shield array. The so-called one inch is long and one inch is strong, but the longer the weapon, the more afraid of bullying and close combat.
For the Bamboo Lancers, distance is both their advantage and their weakness. If they can keep a certain distance, they are invincible, but if they are broken through that distance, their spears will not be effective, and at this time, they can only draw their waist knives or short swords to fight.
However, the pikemen of Fort Baosheng did not panic when they saw that the thieves were taking advantage of the opportunity to bully them.
Next to the pikemen of Fort Baosheng are the sword and shield soldiers. They were both shields for pikemen and close guards for pikemen. The thief was still happy before he came, and the sword and shield soldier behind the shield had already swung his waist knife and slashed at the approaching thief.
A thief finally let go of the spear and rushed to the shield wall, but was immediately cut off by a waist knife, and hurriedly raised the knife to block, but then the sword and shield soldier stabbed out a hook spear, and the hook spear stabbed out directly from his feet, and immediately hooked his leg.
A sharp pain came, one of the bandit's feet had been pulled in the hook, the ankle was hit hard, and the blood gushed out, and at the same time, his whole person also lost his center of gravity, and fell to the ground all of a sudden, and the knife soldier took the opportunity to cut it down again, this time the bandit was unable to return to the sky, a knife was cut on the neck, half of the neck has been cut off, blood sprayed, and he was killed directly.
The desperate struggle of this group of bandits was indeed fierce, but in the face of the skillful and tacit combat cooperation of these villagers in the Baosheng Fort Combat Battalion, they were finally killed in front of the shield wall one by one.
"This is the difference between bandits and the army, even if it is a village soldier, a well-trained village soldier, relying on the battle formation, tacit cooperation, can still kill the fierce and tenacious thief." Liu Jun watched the remaining dozens of bandits finally rush into battle like a suicide attack, and then were cut down one by one by the soldiers in the barracks like chopping melons and vegetables, and couldn't help but sigh and say to the nine-headed bird officers who were watching the battle together.
"One by one, those village warriors may not be the opponents of these bandits, but when they fight, the thieves have no power to resist, why? Cooperation, the army relies on cooperation, to give full play to the overall advantages, rather than relying on the individual to fight alone, no matter how brave the individual is, but in front of the army group, but there is nothing, everyone remember. ”
In the end, a dozen thieves completely collapsed, and they knelt in front of the shield array and raised their hands in surrender, but they were greeted by the merciless spear assassination of the pikemen!
"Lord Bingxian has an order, so that thousands of households Zhu Pet will be guilty of meritorious service, lead the headquarters of the guards as the vanguard, and immediately attack the walled gate!"
One of Zhao Cheng's family members rushed to convey the latest order to Zhu Pet loudly, Zhu Chong's face became even more ugly when he heard it, he had just collected and counted, his fifty family members and one hundred and five military households, in the battle just now, lost thirty-seven military households, two family members, four of which were killed by the Baoshengbao Township Regiment, and lost thirty-nine people, and his record was only to kill two enemies and injure one.
With the death of thirty-seven military households, he lost thirty-seven tenant farmers, and the death of two families who had spent a lot of money to raise him, and he was still distressed and had not caught his breath, and he had been worried about the consequences of collapsing for a while.
Now when he heard that he was allowed to make meritorious contributions, although he was relieved, he began to worry that he would not be able to defeat the cottage again, or that his subordinates would have more casualties, and his fat face was really painful.
