"Everybody prepare—"
"Cast-"
In Liulin Town, on the three sides of the southwest, north and south, the first column of Liu Xian's army, which corresponded to each town wall, stood a row of strong men with big shoulders and round waists, all holding iron cans and fire folds in kilograms, waiting for the battle.
When the town wall in the west collapsed, and Su Yi led his men to charge in the dust, Qi Dalin's face showed a trace of hideousness.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
One by one, the iron cans exploded, the flames were shining, and the flesh and blood were scattered. Su Yi, who was in the front, was extremely unwilling to fall among the messy bricks and stones, and died before he left the army, blame him for being too eager for revenge and rushing to the front of the whole army! Even if there were guards around him, it was too eye-catching, and under the heavy greeting of six or seven gunpowder canisters, a corpse was lying down.
"Ah......, General—"
The elite of the righteous army who rushed behind Su Yi were stunned, and their heads were stunned when they saw Su Yi lying on the masonry covered in blood.
The grenadiers of the first brigade seriously injured Li Lanjun with just the first blow, beheaded Su Yi, the fierce general of Lan Chaozhu, and broke one of his humerus.
"Avenge the general, rush ......"
I don't know if I was awakened by the sound of explosions that continued to explode, or if the anger in my heart broke through the table, a rebel soldier raised his sword and shouted, and took the lead towards the first brigade not far away.
"Kill, avenge the general—"
The bloody anger overwhelmed the fear of death in his heart, and hundreds of volunteers shouted in unison, not because of Su Yi's sudden death, but condensed into a mourning army, and the murderous spirit was even stronger.
On a restaurant in the center of the town, as the commanding height of Liulin Town, Liu Xian pressed the headquarters here. He could easily observe the battle on all sides from the top of the third floor, and the current situation on the west side of the town attracted Liu Xian's eyes. Seeing that the righteous army continued to rush and kill with more momentum after revealing it, the corners of his eyes couldn't help twitching. I just heard the rebels shouting 'Revenge for the General', which was obviously the joy of killing a big horn of the enemy in the explosion, and the surprise and auspiciousness that opened the door were completely gone.
The morale just now is really not comparable to these weak chickens of the Qing army and civilian regiment. Even the team that Liu Xian has put in a lot of effort to train at the moment can't reach this journey.
If on the battlefield, Liu Xian was smashed by a cannonball first, and the team would collapse on the spot.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
The explosions stopped, and the grenadiers quickly retreated to the rear of a large group.
"Bang bang bang ......" and then the shotgun rang out.
The rebels who braved the explosion fell in rows, but they went forward one after another. A large group of two small groups of shotgunmen could not stop the hundreds of volunteers who forgot to charge to the death, and soon the rebels were sharp.
The mountain-splitting cannon on the high platform behind him continued to be silent. Qi Dalin didn't think about the mountain splitting cannon behind him at all, his mind was completely excited and fighting.
"Second Squadron, rush with me......"
The big sword under his hand shook, and in the roar of Qi Dalin's tiger, he stepped forward in three steps and two steps, and the snow and lightning slashed down, and when the first volunteer soldier first boarded, he was absolutely swift and fierce.
"Kill—"
The soldiers of the second squadron were greatly shaken, and according to the drill during the training, they were in a group of five, with long and short coordination, and met the rushing rebel soldiers with a roar.
"Bang-"
A volunteer took advantage of his momentum from top to bottom and slashed the shield fiercely, and the shield made of thick wood had a trace of cracks, and Ding Yong, who was holding the shield, staggered back.
"Kill—"
A spear stabbed from the side caught the footsteps of the volunteers, and the volunteers were busy fighting with their arms, and the blade of the knife was picked up from the bottom up, and the spear was rigidly erected.
The staggering sword and shield soldier swung his shield and arched sharply, and the rectangular shield slammed into the rebel. The volunteers used their spears to distract from them, but they had no time to dodge the shield blows, so they could only use their broadswords to cross in front of them, and the man was hit by the shield and fell back.
On the side, a big knife slashed along the neck, and with a click, the volunteers did not react, and the leader of Liuyang rolled to the ground with a cavity of blood.
This is the cooperation of Liu Xian's army under the white-knuckle battle. In a group of three, one with a shield stepped forward, and two with spears and broadswords lined up on the left and right.
A very simple and simple fit of long and short. Of course, it is also easy to be broken up, or messy in the melee. But in the current situation, although the rebel soldiers rushed in, they could not form a dense queue because they had climbed over the brick and stone piles before, and the initial fight was very large to a group of Liu Xian's soldiers fighting against a volunteer soldier, which was suitable and took advantage of it.
As soon as the two sides first engaged, twenty or thirty brave volunteers were cut down on the ground.
Although Liu Xian's department has swordsman veterans as the backbone, the recruits occupy the vast majority. These people have never experienced human blood, and they will inevitably feel nervous when they go to the battlefield. Especially with the collapse of the brick wall, they will still feel more and more nervous even if they see that the town has been prepared for a long time. So the initial success of this fight was very beneficial, and the recruits and rookies of the second squadron suddenly felt much easier.
"Boom, boom, boom ......" When the rebel soldiers rushed down more and more, the second squadron began to break up one by one, and on the high platform behind the line, the three mountain-splitting guns finally spoke.
The rain sprayed the same gravel and broken iron horns on the pile of masonry, cutting off the endless rear army of the rebels in the middle and rear of their troops. Two squads of shotgunners were also speaking, fighting on the walls to the left and right of the high platform, and bullets rang out among the rebels.
The guns and cannons coordinated in pairs, directly cutting the rushing river of the rebels from the middle.
Bang......
After a loud thunderous bang, a third collapsed brick wall appeared. The sound of the volunteers rushing like a tide appeared from the north and south sides of Liulin Town, and not long after, a large group was in the north, and the two brigades each drew a squadron to form a team in the south, and stood with the volunteers who were killed.
Liu Xian continued to be high in the center, and the team of more than 200 people at hand was still accumulating.
"Bang ......"
"Boom, boom, boom......"
The rebel artillery team outside the town had ceased fire, but the sound of gunfire continued to be heard in the town, and Lan Chaozhu's stretched brows furrowed faintly.
"The King. Liu Thief built a high platform wall in the town, and the artillery fire was badly damaged, and the elite soldiers who broke through first suffered losses. ”
"Report to the king, General Su died in battle!"
"Report ......"
Successive bad news came, Su Yi's death was confirmed, the north-south offensive was damaged again, and Lan Chaozhu's face was gloomy and dripping water.
"O king, let the brethren withdraw. Liu Thief built a high platform in the town, and after the iron cannon bombarded the middle of the team, we couldn't continue to pour troops at all. Wave after wave of killing, you can only scrap the soldiers. ”
"Pass my order, Mingjin withdraws-"
Lan Chaozhu was not yet carried away by the anger, and wisely gave the order to stop the attack. At this time, the losses of the rebels, in addition to Su Yi, the general, also had seven or eight hundred volunteers.
