Chapter Forty-Nine: The Unlucky Zhang Da* (2)
After hearing the sound of the gong, Niu Decao immediately jumped up from the bed, ten veterans of the fifty personal soldiers he brought also jumped up, and the remaining forty personal soldiers also got up, all of them were new soldiers.
Niu Decao was anxious and scolded, "Damn, hurry up, go to the place where the gong sounds!" ”
When I arrived at the south gate, the gate of the south gate had been knocked open.
Dai Zuoxin and a dozen of his men were shooting arrows outside.
Several of Zhang's brothers have already been shot down.
Zhang Da*zi was indignant, and the people of a small broken village dared to resist? He shouted, "Get in!" Kill those who dare to resist. Brothers, when we enter the village, we can not only drink wine and eat meat, but the girls in the village are all ours, and this time we can have a good time entering the village! ”
The bandits rushed forward with a roar.
Niu Decao looked at the form, except for his own subordinates and Dai Zuoxin and more than a dozen veterans, the rest of the dozens of people all showed panicked expressions.
Hard fighting is not possible, Niu Decao immediately ordered the four pro-soldiers with fire guns to prepare to fire.
The soldiers are called one-eyed firearms, and they need two people in peacetime or in battle. Usually two people take turns carrying a firebolt on their backs, and when fighting, one of them holds a one-eyed firearm and aims it at the target, while the other person lights a firestring and sets it off. In fact, the firearms of the Ming Dynasty were still very advanced, and some weapons were even beyond our imagination. Of course, firearms will not be introduced for the time being because they will be mentioned in detail in the future.
The one-eyed musket is an effective weapon for infantry to suppress the enemy.
When the soldiers heard Niu Decao's order, they immediately aimed their firearms at the bandits who had rushed in and lit the firerope.
Rumble! Rumble! The two sounds, in the dark night, seem to be very loud and powerful. But only one of the muskets hit the enemy, and the other missed.
Because the fire gun was quite common in the early Ming Dynasty, but in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, because of the troublesome manufacturing process and the exploitation of officials, the cost was too high, and there were not too many fire guns except for the Shenji Battalion. So everyone is not familiar with it, among the four pro-soldiers, two of them who were on target had been in the Ming Army's Shenji Battalion.
I heard two loud bangs, but it wasn't that loud. The bandits stopped and found that the three bandits in front of them had fallen. One of the bandits was not dead, screaming and twisting his body, and it was extremely painful.
There are officers and soldiers, this is the first reaction of the bandits. The officers and soldiers are elite soldiers, which is the second reaction of the bandits, because the configuration of the firecracker is no longer like the early Ming Dynasty, and every unit has it. At present, only large-scale elite soldiers with regular formations are equipped with firearms. Therefore, the bandits in front of the head ran backwards, and the people behind also ran out of the village without knowing what happened.
Zhang * Mazi also heard the gunshots of the firearms, he didn't know what was going on, but he saw the bandits who broke into the village running back, and he also stopped.
"What's going on?" Zhang Da*zi grabbed a fast little minion.
"Ma Ye, let's go, there are elite soldiers of the Ming Army!" The little minion happened to be the one who rushed ahead, and the little minion talked about how the fire flashed, and the brothers were beaten down three times.
Zhang * Mazi immediately walked back, but stopped again, no, why were there only two sounds, and besides, why didn't you see the Ming army fighting? You must know that the Ming army in Hequ was left by Cao Wenzhao, and the fierce people like the second leader were all killed, can they not be killed?
Perhaps there was fraud, Zhang Da*zi ordered the bandits to stop. Zhang * Mazi waved his hand and ordered, "No, wait a minute, maybe they are lying!" ”
At this time, in addition to Niu Decao and Dai Zuoxin, the members of Wangzhuang's land protection group also arrived one after another.
Most of these regiments were sleepy-eyed, looking at the fire and collapsing the walled gate, not knowing what was going on. A group member was disturbed from his good dream, and said with a dry mouth, "What's the fuck again?" Still don't let people sleep? ”
Li Guo is known as the Tiger Master, not only is he a tiger, but the people who follow him are also tigers. So, the cow has grass and the tiger!
The cow got to the grass and cut down the regiment "Nonsense, disturb the morale of the army, behead!" "The cow roared.
Suddenly, more than 300 people armed with shovels and pickaxes immediately fell silent, they were not equipped with real weapons, because Li Guo had no money at the moment, and they could not afford to equip them.
Niu Decao commanded, "Facing the gate of the village, ten people in a row, line up!" ”
The group quickly lined up.
Niu Decao sent twenty personal soldiers to Dai Zuoxin, and asked them to follow Dai Zuoxin to stand in front of the team. Then, every ten-row regiment was followed by a platoon of pro-soldiers.
Niu Decao took the knife and ordered loudly, "Now rush forward for me, first, keep the formation for Lao Tzu, and you can't disperse." Second, as long as it is someone who comes at him, kill him! Third, you can't run back, or Lao Tzu will kill him! Lao Tzu is at the back of the whole team! Run back, and I'll kill you! Niu Decao raised his knife, and there was still blood on it.
"Rush!" The cow roared.
So, this group of regiments who had just begun training rushed out of the gate of the village frantically with all kinds of weapons.
Zhang * Mazi was leading people from outside the village to walk cautiously into the village, but at this moment, in a burst of shouting, a group of neat people rushed out.
On the one hand, he is cautious, and on the other hand, he is desperate to save his life, and the momentum is very different.
The bandits didn't look closely, but only saw the first two rows of people holding bright knives! So, led by Zhang * Mazi, the bandits quickly made a wise decision, run!
Fortunately, in order to maintain the queue, the chasing team did not run fast, otherwise, even Zhang Da * would have been hacked to death. But some of the slower bandits, or those who accidentally fell, died in the light of knives mixed with shovels, pickaxes, and sticks.
So, Zhang * Mazi was very lucky, he didn't wipe out the whole army like the second leader, who let that brain-dead think of sneaking up on the river meander. So, Zhang Da * Zi ran back to Erlong Village in Erlong Mountain overnight with forty or fifty remnants of the defeated army.
Zhang * Mazi drank wine with the three leaders and the four leaders all night and made a wise decision, go! I can't stay in this hellish place anymore, and the free bandits have no way to live. There is no place to stay here, there is a place to stay here.
So, the next day, after a good night's sleep, while carefully studying where they were going to beg for a living, they opened the cave where the gold and silver were hidden, arranged the packages, packed up, and prepared to leave early on the third morning.
So, this decision made them turn around. If they were defeated at the beginning, Zhang * Mazi and the others would return to the cottage, pack up and run immediately, or leave during the day the next day, they would also have a great chance of escaping, but they chose to leave on the third day, so it would be too late.
So Zhang Da * Zi is very unlucky, because the resolute Li has come, because Li Guo wants to suppress bandits, and because Li Guo is now poor and crazy.
After Niu Decao defeated Zhang * Mazi, he immediately interrogated the captured bandits overnight and learned that they were Zhang Da * Zi's people in Erlong Mountain. So, Niu Decao immediately led ten of his own soldiers to ride back to Hequ City. The remaining forty pro-soldiers were left to Dai Zuoxin, one was to prevent Zhang * Mazi from counterattacking, and the other was that the pro-soldiers only had ten horses.
There are still hundreds of soldiers stationed in Hequ City, Niu Decao wants to take the soldiers to Erlong Mountain, he has no intention of robbing the bandits, he just wants to take revenge. This is Li Guo's character, Li Guo once held a meeting for them, for those who dare to provoke us, no matter who the fuck is, kill! Niu Decao remembered this sentence.
Niu had to grass to pick up the people and horses, and was about to set off, when someone came to report "The tiger master is here!" ”
Niu Decao thought to himself, it's broken, and he can't lead the troops to fight alone.
