Chapter 42: The Battle of the Four Cities (9)
"Captain, we should fight west."
As soon as Zhong Laosi finished speaking, Zhou Shao'er added.
"What about the ones from the east?"
"The musketeers will send a round to the east to scare them, and our killer team will go directly to the west, kill behind the group of Jiannu, and welcome everyone first."
Zhong Laosi didn't have time to think about it, the gunfire on Ximen Street became more and more intensive, and it was estimated that the Jiannu of several other city gates had already noticed it, and he had to rush to the north gate as much as possible, and immediately said: "Just do it, the killer team will rush out to line up first, follow Lao Tzu and just rush to the right, let's go." ”
Everyone got out of the yard again, walked lightly, only ten steps away from the alley, Zhong Laosi shouted, took the lead and rushed out of the small street, just a few steps out of the sight of a standard-bearer standing in front of him, and more than twenty steps away a horseback Pashku, was calling for a few archers to go to the front to intercept.
Zhong Laosi was stunned by the standard-bearer, and a shot was pierced into the chest of the standard-bearer, and the standard-bearer was caught off guard, and was nailed to the ground by Zhong Laosi, and eleven killer soldiers poured out behind.
Pashku's reaction was very fast, his legs were clamped between the horse's belly, and he waved the horse lance in his hand and rushed over, Zhong Laosi raised the head of the flag gun, and the horse immediately dodged to the side, Pa Shiku put the horse lance at Zhong Laosi on the right to prevent him from rushing over, and the Ming army appeared behind him, this Pashiku has been weak in his heart, only the north gate has no movement at present, as long as he rushes through here, he plans to escape to the north gate first.
He focused on Zhong Laosi on the right, and at the same time noticed another Ming army rushing out of the laneway on the left, the Ming army held a knife and stick, and hurried towards the direction of the horse's head. Just raised his hand, the more than two-meter-long knife stick was already whistling, and it was smashing on the horse's head with a "crash" from the left front.
The horse's head collapsed in an instant, the skull was broken into pieces by a fierce stick, the horse's head was knocked to the side, the horse spat out two mouthfuls of blood foam, the four hooves softened at the same time, the body fell forward according to inertia, and the four hooves had begun to spasm when they fell to the ground.
Pashku was dizzy and dizzy, his helmet also fell off, he stood up a little dazed, just turned around, the knife and stick swept under his feet, Pashku's legs and leg bones were broken with a click, the cotton leg armor could not resist the power of the big stick, Pashku fell to the ground head-on, screaming loudly in his mouth, his hands were touching his body, the knife and stick hand from the mountain people did not stop, holding the knife and stick high and smashing Pashku's head, red blood and white brains splashed on the bluestone slab.
Zhong Lao Si shouted hello, and at this time, the follow-up killer team rushed out, and a horizontal team was discharged, followed by the firearms team. Zhong Laosi hurriedly glanced to the east, where more than a dozen Jiannu were shouting, startled by the sudden appearance of the army.
"The firearms lined up and fired, and they came after us after the fight."
Zhong Laosi shouted and rushed to the west with the killer team, the first few archers had already drawn arrows in their hands, and when they saw that these ironclad Ming troops were rushing so fast, they didn't dare to stop pulling the bow, so they went to the alley to the south, Zhong Laosi didn't chase them, and rushed for a while, and there was a burst of muskets in front of him, Zhong Laosi was excited, and quickly took down the whistle and blew it while rushing, and notified the other side that he was going to come over, otherwise it would be too much of a loss to be killed by his own people's muskets.
The bamboo whistle soon sounded on the opposite side, followed by the shouts of the killer team, more than 20 Jiannu were still shooting arrows there, I didn't expect a Ming army to come behind at all, Zhong Laosi and others roared and rushed over, and several Jiannu in the back were killed immediately, the soldiers in front reacted, and they dropped their bows and arrows to take off their wrenches, and turned around to deal with Zhong Laosi and others with knives and guns, and the soldiers of the Wendeng battalion on the other side also rushed over, and the Jiannu in the middle had no way to retreat, but fought desperately, and the two sides suffered casualties on both sides.
The Houjin soldiers who were caught in the middle were finally all killed under the attack at both ends, Huang Yuan was in a hurry, and these more than forty Houjin soldiers caused more than 20 casualties in his second game, half of the killer and half of the firearms team, and they also blocked him for so long.
He had a headache when he thought about the personnel replenishment, and after the last Gu'an, he adjusted some personnel in the division, although the training of Wendeng Camp was basically standardized, and the tactics and personal skills were almost the same, but the proficiency of the cooperation could not be standardized, and it was easy to run in, and this time there were so many deaths.
Huang Yuan grabbed Zhong Laosi and almost roared: "Your battle group is the most complete, go ahead for Lao Tzu, be fast, take out your usual complaining energy, and don't stop until you don't reach Beimen Street, unless you are all dead!" ”
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
A quarter of an hour later, Zhong Laosi's battle group appeared at the intersection of the south wall of the academy and Beimen Street, and an endless stream of Houjin soldiers rode horses and ran outside, Zhong Laosi did not rush to the street, he poked his head out to see, there were some figures of people and horses shaking on the long north and south streets, and they were rushing to the north, and it seemed that the third part had not yet controlled the intersection of Zhanì Crossroads. There were also muskets on the northern wall, and it looked like the 2,000th headquarters was about to hit the city.
The city gate under the north gate was opened, and there were already some Jiannu fleeing for their lives outside the city. The red flag of Ma Shilong's general army floated on the tower of the West Gate City, and Ma Shilong told Sun Chengzong in this way that his side was the first to enter the city.
A large number of soldiers of the Qinwang Army are entering the city from the West City Gate, with the Wendeng battalion as the vanguard, and the morale of these Ming troops who are fighting a good battle is suddenly like a rainbow.
The movement of Ximen Street is even greater, the gunfire is full of gunsmoke, these Jiannu who defend the city are even fools, they also know that the West Gate has been breached, this group of looters have no will to defend the city at all, and they have no experience in defending the city, and they even have no confidence under the blow of the Hongyi cannon, and the fighting spirit quickly disappeared, and they all fled to the north gate that was not attacked.
Zhou Shao'er said beside Zhong Laosi: "Captain, should we go and block it?" Don't run out. ”
Zhong Laosi bit his lip for a while and scolded: "Can you block it, what, don't you want to be a teacher." ”
Zhou Shao'er worried: "The briefing said that the goal is to close the north gate. ”
"Closing the north gate is the goal of our thousand headquarters, not the goal of one of our combat groups, can you the stop it, don't you look at how many Jiannu on the street are fleeing for their lives, just our twenty people, we will die in a few rounds......"
"Captain, just now Huang Yuan also asked us to go to Beimen Street, how can we explain to him then?"
"Explain what, I'm on Beimen Street now, and the street corner is also the street corner of Beimen Street." Zhong Laosi smiled wickedly, and said loudly to the others: "Fuck off, the firearms team shoots independently, Chen Ying, you two can shoot arrows, cover on both sides of the firearms team." ”
Zhong Laosi lined up at the intersection of the academy, and the captain of the firearms team also looked at the street, and lined up the musketeers in two rows.
The firearms soldiers checked the fire rope and pointed the gun to the street, and Chen Ying also took a heavy arrow in his hand and half-pulled the bow and arrow.
A Houjin cavalryman appeared in the street in front of him, and six firearms soldiers in the front row opened fire at the same time, and three bloody arrows came out of the cavalry and the horse, falling on the road. The front row retreated and reloaded after firing, and the second musketeer raised his gun and prepared.
There were Manchu shouting loudly on the street, because Zhong Laosi and the others were still in the side street, and they could only be seen on the street opposite.
After the second row of firearms team fired, two more Houjin soldiers were hit, both riders fell off their horses, one of the empty horses continued to run forward for a while, at this time the first row of ammunition was not completed, the fire of the combat group was in an intermittent state, Chen Ying half-pulled the bow away, the sound of horses' hooves at the street entrance, three Jian slaves with money rat tails appeared at the street entrance, Chen Ying was very familiar with them, the first one with a bloody head had the best armor, either Niu Lu was really a Pashku, and the last one was a coat that only wore ordinary clothes. Several carcasses on the ground blocked their horses, and several Jiannu were slowing down, their eyes looking at this column with a look of horror.
Chen Ying pulled the bow, his thumb loosened, and with a clang, a heavy arrow accurately hit the Niu Lu Ezhen, piercing his armor, Niu Lu Ezhen turned over and fell off the horse, and the other young Jiannu who looked like a golden archer sped up, and the coated horse was spinning in the pile of corpses, which seemed to be poor riding.
Chen Ying drew her bow again, aimed at the coat, and the coat rolled down, shouting loudly in Chinese, "I am Luanzhou Hanmin!" Grandpa Bing, don't kill me. Chen Ying hesitated slightly, and then rushed out of two walking Jiannu, Chen Ying immediately changed the target to them, and another archer shot a few arrows in a row, knocking over the two people, and when he drew the arrows, he saw that the coat was holding Niu Lu Ezhen, who began to fall off the horse, disappeared into the street.
"Dog stuff." Chen Ying was angry, the coat just now was clearly a Liaodong accent, and he was actually fooled by him for a while, Zhong Laosi also saw it, and said loudly: "Hold the array steadily, and you must not chase and kill." ”
They killed a few rounds, the ground was full of corpses of people and horses, and some cunning Jiannu in the back saw that the situation was not good, and went to the east alley to go around to the north gate, but most of them still fled along the street, Zhong Laosi and they were shooting targets on the side street, only a few Jiannu tried to fight back, and the others fled for their lives.
The gunshots in the north gate of the urn city and the center of the cross street kept ringing, Zhong Laosi jumped on the south wall of the academy, looked at the north city tower, he happened to see a round of musket salvo on the city wall, there was only a hundred steps away from the urn city, and then a team of killers rushed up to fight with a group of Jiannu, and the two Jiannu archers panicked and jumped down from the city wall.
"Fall to death!" Zhong Laosi laughed and said, the location of the gunpowder smoke on Ximen Street in the south is also close to the crossroads, as long as it falls into the Wendeng camp control, the traffic of Jiannu will be cut off, if they retreat from the path, the establishment will definitely be disrupted, and it will be very scattered when it appears at the north gate, so that the pressure on the north gate will be much less.
"Zhong Laosi, Lao Tzu told you to block the North Gate Street." Huang Yuan's shouting and scolding came from behind, and Zhong Laosi hurriedly greeted him and said, "Mr. Bai, there are too few of us, and there are too many Jiannu who are fleeing for their lives." ”
Huang Yuan's feet did not stop, to the firearms team to see, the street in front of the street was full of corpses, a few Houjin archers didn't even want horses, took the firearms team to load, quickly slipped over, Huang Yuan saw it, and said loudly: "Our bureau is here to block the road, you go up to block it first, I will take the other groups to the street to line up." ”
Zhong Laosi was helpless, shouted his own combat group, and went to the street, while Huang Yuan commanded the other combat groups to follow. The musketeers of Zhong Laosi's group blocked the street, and a volley of fire broke up the nearby Jiannu, and Huang Yuan took the opportunity to let the other groups line up, and he himself took a hurried look on the street.
This is the south wall of the academy, there are still two hundred steps away from the city gate, there are many lanes in the middle, and there is also an endless stream of Jiannu running out of it, escaping to the north gate.
Huang Yuan arranged two archers to guard the north to prevent the Jiannu from attacking in the alleyway, and the others all marched forward, he was still the first to rush to the north gate, he shouted proudly: "The third battle group, put up the corpses on the ground, and then remove some door panels, let's make a Tartar chest wall, let's stay here today, no one has any other thoughts, either the Tartars are dead or we are dead." ”
Zhong Laosi scolded Zhou Shao'er beside him: "It's his mother's death again, Lao Tzu only discovered today that the most hateful thing is this Huang Yuan." ”
