Xie Bin held the cable in his hand and climbed the mast with agility, the monocular in his hand was extended, and the picture in the distance continued to expand and became extremely clear.
In an instant, Xie Bin's hand loosened, and he almost fell off the mast, but the scene he didn't want to see appeared in front of him, the Tartar was killed! And not a small army, at least two or three thousand people!
Xie Bin's heart became cold in an instant, he was not afraid of Tartars, and even said that after going through so many things, he was not afraid of death. But what he feared was that the grain would fall into the hands of the Tartars!
The hungry people of Guide were waiting to be fed, waiting for food to save their lives if it fell into the hands of the Manchus. The Qing army is well-fed, and in turn fights An**, who is he worthy of.
Coming down from the mast, Xie Bin's face sank like water, and he said to everyone: "Form a formation to meet the enemy!" ”
The veterans who had received the order moved when they heard the news, and they could not take care of their lunch, the firewood was extinguished, and the iron pot was thrown aside. Everyone put on their armor and clenched their weapons, and one by one they were expressionless, and they quickly formed a neat queue.
After retraining, An**'s combat effectiveness has been greatly improved, which is simply incomparable. But everyone's hearts are uneasy, the cavalry of the Tartar soldiers has faintly appeared, and in the face of enemy troops several times their own, no one has a bottom in their hearts!
"Sir, our new barracks can also fight!"
Xie Bin immediately frowned: "Kang Dali, don't think that if you win the veteran on the school field, you don't know what to do, how much time you have only been training and what you can do, all roll to the river and watch for me." ”
"No, we're on a mission together. Why are you desperate for us to watch? ”
"Just because Lao Tzu has been fighting on the battlefield for many years older than you!" Hou Sanhuai, who had been silent, said impatiently: "Children, don't make trouble." ”
Kang Dali is not good at words. was blocked back by a few words, and at this time, Zhao Tian and Kang Lesheng also ran over. When they saw that their invitation to fight was rejected, they were all red-eyed.
"Sir, there are so many Tartars, and many monkeys have three more points of strength, so you can let us go into battle!" Zhao Tian couldn't help but say.
"That's right, outnumbered. The new battalion cannot sit idly by, we must participate in the battle. Kang Lesheng said firmly.
Xie Bin's brows furrowed into a pimple, and he suddenly waved his hand. He turned around and walked towards the front of the formation, and after a few steps in a row, he said, "Listen to me, if the veteran can't hold on." Flee for your lives. Report to the Kokuko and avenge us! ”
"Sir, deserters don't have the face to meet the prince!" Kang Lesheng shouted loudly: "You cherish us, we know it in our hearts, but the first lesson that Grandpa Guo taught us is trust, comrades-in-arms, we must give our backs to each other with confidence, why do you look down on recruits?" We can fight the Tartars to the end. ”
Xie Bin didn't seem to hear it. He took two more steps, but suddenly his steps stopped. said suddenly: "The whole army listens to the order, fights against the water, the veterans are in front, the recruits are behind, quickly form a formation, there must be no mistakes!" ”
Promised!
The teenagers were immediately ecstatic, and one by one they clutched their spears tightly and quickly entered the battle formation. The results of these days of hard training have finally shown that the recruits are not much slower than the veterans.
Just on the bank of the Yellow River, Xie Bin formed a semi-circular battle array. Standing at the front was a sentry gunner, who stood in three rows. Each person was dressed in two layers of armor, from top to bottom, tightly protected, and only one piece of the face was exposed.
Behind the musketeers, stood the sentry commander, a standard-bearer, and a drummer, who were in charge of the conductor.
The second layer is two rows of spear and shield soldiers, and behind them is closely followed by a new army, and the recruits have too little time to train, and they only know simple spear tactics. Everyone was holding a two-meter-long spear and lined up firmly in the battle formation. Xie Bin looked at these slightly immature bodies, and he was really a little reluctant, but his troops were stretched, so he had to arrange it like this, just hoping that these recruits could hold on and not collapse at the touch of a button.
Sixty musketeers on each flank, lined up in three rows of twenty men each, and there were not enough veterans assigned to them, and behind them each was a sentry of pikemen.
As for Xie Bin himself, he led a sentry veteran, and more than 50 elites who did not collect at night, as the strongest reserve in the whole army. There were too many enemy troops, and he had to do so. Otherwise, all of them will be pressed, and as long as one point is broken, the entire battle array will be over.
An ** lined up the formation to meet the enemy, and everyone's firm eyes stared into the distance. In a short time, the cavalry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty had already appeared in sight. Judging by their clothing, these people are clearly divided into two parts.
The hundreds of people in the middle are all blue clothes and blue flags, these people are the troops of Haoge's descendant Zhenglan Banner, as the eldest son of Huang Taiji, Haoge has always been a thorn in Dorgon's side. Having exhausted all means to weaken this greatest threat, most of Hauge's men were sent to suppress the localities. This time to snatch the grain, Haoge could only draw out two Niu Lu, but out of blind trust in the combat effectiveness of the Qing army, Haoge still firmly believed that he could succeed.
On both sides of the Tartar soldiers, there are all troops in red clothes and red flags, they are not the Manchu Qing Zheng Red Banner, but the Zheng Red Banner of the Han Army Banner, and the general who leads the team is Sun Long, who was originally Kong Youde's general. After Kong Youde was fried, he frightened a large number of traitors. In order to appease the people's hearts, Dolgon promoted Sun Long to the chief soldier and was responsible for commanding the Han army banner.
was reused by the master, and Sun Long was also anxious to show Xiàn, so as soon as he saw that An ** had lined up the formation, he pursed his lips.
"It's just a lot of people, why worry about it! Where the Qing Dynasty Iron Horse passed, it was like a bamboo! ”
He roared loudly, and with a wave of his hand, more than three hundred cavalry rushed out and rushed towards An **.
"The whole army is ready."
Wow!
The soldiers who were originally sitting on the ground heard the order, and they all stood up, holding their weapons tightly with both hands, without a trace of superfluous movements, hundreds of people, and only one voice in armor.
These people in the banner of the Han army put on tartar skins and a pig's tail on them, and they felt that they were superior to others, and looked down on the Han people from the bottom of their hearts, even more than their masters.
More than 300 cavalry were unhurried and pressed over little by little. The resulting mental oppression is quite strong, and of course the veteran doesn't care. Hou Sanhuai didn't look back, and said with a sneer: "Boy." Afraid or not! ”
"If you are not afraid, I will not be afraid!" Kang Dali gritted his teeth and said, in fact, his palms were already sweating, and most of the other recruits were like this, and their hearts were beating with the sound of horses' hooves, as if they were a mouth. It's like jumping out.
At this moment, suddenly Xie Bin sang in a deep and distant voice: "How can you say that you have no clothes? ...... with the Son"
One person sings it, and more and more voices converge in it.
“…… Wang Yuxingshi. Repair my spear ......"
The voice became louder and louder, and the recruits couldn't help but roar, and the desolate ancient war song dispelled the fear in their hearts. They unexpectedly calmed down.
Comrades are around. Brothers around, we're not alone! In an instant, everyone's eyes became resolute, and the fighting spirit continued to burn.
The war song reached the Han army flag, and the ears of the people who forgot their ancestors were particularly exciting, and they were like a group of mad dogs, urging the war horses to gallop up.
The distance between the two sides is constantly shortening. Within sixty steps. The gunner, who had been preparing for a long time, fired the first shot, and the smoke of gunpowder rose. The gunpowder swelled violently, pushing the lead bullet, and shot at the Han army flag at the fastest degree.
In an instant, more than two dozen soldiers fell to their horses as if they had been electrocuted. Lead shot is not the same as later bullets, because lead is very soft and easily deformed. Hitting people's bodies is not by drilling through and hurting people. Instead, use strong kinetic energy to smash hard!
Blood splashed, bones were broken, half of the head was blown away by a lead pellet, and the red things flew everywhere, the strong and stimulating smell, mixed with gunsmoke, couldn't help but make people sick.
The musketeers were already old in battle, and after the first row of shots, they did not look at their own results at all, and hurriedly retreated, and the second row immediately cast, and seven or eighty people fell to the ground in a row of three rounds of guns.
The living Han army banners were also frightened, and they reined in their horses and fled for their lives, and the first round of attacks was repelled by the light yì.
"Rice buckets, they are all rice buckets, you listen to me, fight to the death, no one is allowed to retreat, otherwise the general soldier will kill his whole family!"
Sun Long gave the order to die, and for the second time he concentrated more than 500 cavalry, and rushed up again, this time the cavalry learned their lesson, they divided into three directions to charge, dispersed the fire, and the number of casualties was greatly reduced.
The distance between the two sides has been shortened by about forty paces, and at this distance, no armor or shield will work. As long as they are hit, even if they are just hands and feet, they will be broken and broken, and with the current level of medicine, there is no hope of treatment at all.
Clusters of blood danced and splashed, each representing a life, and the bubbling blood seeped into the sand by the river.
The Yellow River once again witnessed the fate of her children and grandchildren on these backboards!
Han Junqi also got the death order, they didn't dare to retreat at all, they could only bow their heads and rush forward, hoping to use the fastest degree to avoid the barrage of death. Finally, at the cost of more than a hundred lives, they rushed to within ten paces.
The musketeers had already retreated into the formation early, and the spearmen and shieldmen bravely met them with spears.
The blades sinked into the flesh, blood gushed out, and one after another Han army flags fell to the ground. Hou Sanhuai held the longbow in his hand, and as soon as the bowstring sounded, a sharp arrow pierced the enemy's eyeball, revealing the arrow from the back of his head.
"Good!" Kang Dali couldn't help shouting behind his back.
"There's even better!" Hou Sanhuai suddenly pulled out three arrows, and fell down three times in a row, all of them were killed with one arrow!
Just when the Han army flag continued to fall, the cunning Qing army had already regarded them as meat shields, and rushed over quickly, and when there were still thirty steps away, hundreds of Qing soldiers jumped off their horses.
With his legs on the ground, he used all his strength, and one after another heavy arrows pierced the sky, and with a sharp sound, they shot mercilessly.
There was a rain of arrows, and more than a dozen veterans were hit, and one of them was hit by four arrows in the face and fell to the ground, looking dead. Life and death on the battlefield are so fast, and the recruits standing behind are undergoing severe tests.
There was another round of arrow rain, and the veterans fell one by one, and the Qing army took the opportunity to rush up, and there was a fatal gap in the dense battle array.
"Quick, plug it!" Hou Sanhuai's eyes were red, and he shouted hoarsely.
The sound fell on Kang Dali's ears like a thunderbolt. Almost reflexively, he stabbed the spear out of his hand.
"Kill!"
Maybe it's the feeling of years of hunting, Kang Dali's shot was extremely accurate, stabbed in the chest of a Bashiku, this guy has tenacious vitality, and he hasn't died immediately, his hands are tightly clasped on the head of the gun, and the bloodshot bull's eyes glared at Kang Dali.
"Kill!"
At this time, Zhao Tian and several recruits also stabbed out spears, and Bashiku had a few more gun holes on his body, blood gushed wildly, and his life ended quickly.
After taking out a Qing army, the recruits finally got some senses. Kang Dali took the lead, according to the usual training, in groups of three or five, constantly stabbing out and retracting the spear in his hand, stabbing it out and retracting it. Some of them had weak legs and pale faces, but they were still gritting their teeth.
A white-armored soldier with a hook and sickle spear rushed to the front, and he stabbed a recruit in the shoulder with a single shot, the leather armor was easily pierced, and blood gushed out.
The white-armored soldier sneered proudly, he waved his hand violently, wanting to cut off the recruit's neck with the blade of the gun, but who knew that the young man's hands were tightly clasped on the blade of the gun, and it was difficult to move.
At that moment, three spears stabbed out, piercing the chest and neck of the white-armored soldier. Just when the white armor soldier's eyes flickered at the end, he seemed to see the smile of the young man opposite! (To be continued......)
