Several scattered Zuo soldiers panicked, seeing that there were officers and soldiers here, and ran desperately here, including the strong man who provoked Lu Chuanzong that day.

Chen Xingang commanded the soldiers to line up, and when he looked up, he saw the deserters, and after a few glances, he found the strong man, and said to Nie Hong coldly, "Take off the other person's head." ”

Nie Hong saw that this person was very unpleasant that day, and he did not hesitate to hear the words, drew his knife and greeted him, and the strong man bypassed the front row of killers, running lifelessly, while shouting, "Escape!" Several teams of people who affected Chen Xin also fluctuated slightly.

He bypassed the second team of soldiers, and as soon as he shouted the word "escape", a knife light came from the side and slashed extremely quickly, leaving the last two words of his body in his stomach, the head flew high, the broken neck rose into a red fountain, and the headless corpse relied on inertia and fell a few meters away.

Although the clan practiced killing people every day, and there were also simulated pig and sheep viscera and blood water, there were very few people who had really killed.

Nie Hong raised his head high, and Chen Xin said loudly behind him: "In my combat team, there are those who retreat from the battlefield and disobey orders, and the officers can be beheaded immediately, and there is no pension silver, and those who have families will be expelled from Weihaiwei and fend for themselves." ”

The bloody head was carried in Nie Hong's hand, and all the soldiers understood that there was no way out, and for the new recruits who were on the battlefield for the first time, the threat was much more effective than agitation, and Chen Xin used other people's heads as a warning, which did not need to lose his own manpower, and achieved the effect. And also take out a nasty person.

"The firearms team lined up!" Chen Xin shouted at Zhu Guobin in the back. He didn't expect the guards to retreat so quickly, so he had to quickly use firearms to attract the attention of the bandits and let the brigade reorganize its formation.

Zhu Guobin quickly led the firearms team to line up in front of the killer team, each with a distance of three feet, while he and Zhou Shifa took out their bows and arrows and shot at the nearest bandits, covering the firearms team. At this time, the command had been handed over to the captain of the firearms team.

"Check the arquebus!" A little trembling voice rang out from the captain of the firearms.

Ten bird gunners nervously blew up the fire rope, and let the fire head point at the fire door cover, one of the extinguished quickly raised his hand, and the captain immediately took out the tinder box and lit it for him. The movement here has already attracted the attention of some people on the right wing of the bandits, and a small leader is on the rise, and when he saw that this group of officers and soldiers dared to provoke, he rushed over with more than 50 bandits.

Zhu Guobin and Zhou Shifa fired arrows at the dense bandits, knocking over several people in front.

"Open, open the fire door."

The ammunition of the bird-gunners was loaded before crossing the river, and they were ready to fire when the fire door was opened.

Chen Xin looked at the bandits rushing in front of the firearms team, his heart was pounding, the battle on land was still more shocking than at sea, and he didn't have a bottom about the army he trained, and the effect was up to the battle that came in a blink of an eye. The corners of Nie Hong's mouth twitched, and he stood in front of Chen Xin's side with Hai Gouzi and the others, ready to protect Chen Xin at any time.

"Aim!"

More than fifty bandits broke away from the brigade and rushed twenty paces away, their eyebrows clearly visible, and the hands of the bird-fighting hands trembled slightly.

"Fire!" The captain of the firearms himself took a turtledove and pulled the lever hard. The firearms array exploded in a series of eruptions, spewing large puffs of white smoke from front and above. The loud roar shook the ears of the soldiers on both sides.

Seven or eight people in front of the rushing bandits fell to the ground at the same time, and about ten millimeters of lead bullet (Note 1) easily broke through their bodies, and after the soft lead bullet met resistance, it rolled and deformed in the muscles and internal organs, forming a wound that was small on the outside and thick on the inside, and they did not die for a while after they fell to the ground, and let out a penetrating scream, and within a distance of twenty paces, there was no armor that could block the shooting of the qualified birds, not to mention that these bandits were not fully clothed.

The firearms team immediately retreated to the back row to reload, and when the smoke cleared, the killer team who were ready to meet saw the bandits who were still rolling on the ground, as well as ...... A fleeing back.

The fiercest bandits in front suffered heavy casualties, and the roar and fire of the musket salvo was a great psychological shock, and the coercion in the rear was hit by this blow, quickly lost their morale, turned back into timid peasants, and turned and fled to their own troops.

Chen Xin breathed a sigh of relief, these bandits are really bandits, they have always bullied the weak and feared the hard, and the volley of muskets at close range is difficult for even the well-trained army to bear, not to mention these bandits. The killer fighters in front of them also seem to be a little more relaxed, and it is very effective to gain a psychological advantage with long-range strikes.

Everyone didn't expect the vicious bandits to scare away after a row of guns, but Zhu Guobin had a little experience, he ran back to Chen Xin's side and whispered: "My lord, let's cover up the past, as long as we defeat the middle, this battle will be won." ”

After all, Chen Xin went to the battlefield for the first time, and failed to seize the opportunity to chase and kill, after the musket salvo just now, the bandits on the right wing fled back to the middle road in terror, and the middle road was also chaotic for a while, Tongtianliang's reaction was very fast, he shouted loudly The bandits nearby, the bandits around him stopped pursuing, and the bandit flag had moved to the right flank, Chen Xin was inexperienced and lost a good opportunity to cover up, Chen Xin complained to himself in his heart, and took two deep breaths to calm himself down a little.

The remaining bandits are still chasing the Weisho army, Chen Xin saw that Yang Yunnong's banner had been squeezed to the river, a large number of Weisuo troops screamed and jumped into the river, fleeing to the opposite bank, and some of the military households that had not yet crossed the river were also shaken in formation and could collapse at any time, but the formation of the defenders and the family was still partially complete, at this time he could only attack the middle directly, if he could stop the bandits' attack, it was possible to twist the shape, after all, these officers all had family members, and the bandits could really fight no more than one hundred and fifty.

The killers marched forward, and the archers followed to cover. The logistics team protects the firearms team, and the firearms team catches up with the team after it has finished loading. ”

"One-two, one-two." The two killer team captains in the front row shouted slogans and forced the bandit brigade with a quick step, and the two killer teams in the back also followed the slogan.

They did not march fast, but the threat from the flank still made the bandits have to deal with it seriously, the banner of Tongtianliang has already ushered in the right flank, the bandits have no command, the left wing does not know about the right flank at all, and is still chasing the officers and soldiers.

Yang Yunnong was finally driven across the river, but the departure of Tongtianliang's bandits made Yang Yunnong's frontal pressure relaxed, and he took the opportunity to organize a backlash by the river, and some bandits who chased the river were beaten back, and some defenders on the bank picked up the stones by the river and threw them around, and some of the family began to shoot arrows again, and the bandits threw down a few corpses, and retreated dozens of steps away from the river in a hurry, and also lost their command. The chaotic bandits saw that the bandit flag of Tongtianliang was moved to the right, and they didn't know what was going on, most of the military households of the guard army were still fleeing, and the other guards sent their families to the front row, these families were treated much better than the military households, and the officers were one with their fate, and their fighting will and ability were far beyond those of ordinary military households.

Chen Xin saw that the bandits stopped pursuing, and the goal had been achieved, as long as Yang Yunnong organized the Jiading and the defending army, the officers and troops would still have combat effectiveness, and after the volley was retreated from the enemy just now, his confidence doubled, but the bandits' momentum was still there, and he didn't dare to directly hedge with the bandits, and when he saw the bandit flag of Tongtianliang appear in front of him, the distance was about eighty steps, and he immediately ordered: "Stop advancing!" Bird guns shoot from a distance. ”

The two front queue leaders shouted: "Stand! ”

The four killer teams stopped at the same time, the two killer teams in the front row were ten paces apart, still maintaining two columns against the enemy, the front row had two round shields, the four soldiers in the back all had their weapons deployed to the sides, and the captain stood next to the two sword and shield soldiers. The Birdmen chased after reloading.

Under the banner of the bandits on the opposite side, Tongtianliang looked at the officers and soldiers on the opposite side with fire in his eyes, he had long known that Weihaiwei was going to come to suppress him, he had been preparing for a long time, and his subordinates were also very drilled, and he was full of confidence in defeating the military household of the guard, he was impatient to wait, and finally got the exact news, and sent people to follow the officers and soldiers all the way, and today he dismantled the bridge and prepared to attack halfway, and indeed almost succeeded, he was originally relatively low-key, and he was lucky last year, after annexing a few bandits, he wanted to toss some movement to come out, strive for Zhao'an, and also had the addiction of the official family. He had been a soldier before, and he knew the level of the Wei Army, so he planned to beat Yang Yunnong so that it would be easier to talk about it when recruiting An.

Originally, as long as they chased and fought all the way, the officers and troops would only be defeated, and it would be better to talk about it if they could capture Yang Yunnong alive, but they were disrupted by this small army, and of course he hated these people to the core. The army on the opposite side has no flag, not even a back flag, only a few officers have a red pennant hanging on the flag gun, facing only four round shields and two officers with flag guns on this side, the people behind are hiding behind the round shield, the blade is long stretched out like a hedgehog, there are a few archers in the back, and there is a team of bird soldiers coming behind.

He had been a soldier, and he knew at a glance that this army was well-trained, so let them rush from the flanks, and he had only one way to die, and only a few guards in front of the guard army were left to confront the defenders across the river, and they couldn't attack it for the time being, so he would solve the small troops on this side first. After the bandits retreated, they were in a mess, and he was not able to command well, but the same was true of the guards on the opposite side, and he was not too worried about the front, so he took care of more than a hundred bandits who could be called nearby, and prepared to attack the right flank in person.

"Welcome to the door!"

The bandit leader who began to kill the horseback rider rode his horse and ran, "Big cabinet, I'll take someone to break the front formation." ”

Tongtianliang turned his eyes and scolded: "Do you still ride your broken horse to find death, you suspect that you can't shoot accurately, get down." ”

Yingmenliang smirked and said, "It's not to see far, it's to get closer." ”

Yingmenliang is the third person in the bandits, that is, the meaning of the vanguard, specifically responsible for fighting and killing, the bandits in the Ming Dynasty are generally divided into four beams and eight pillars, the boss is called the big cabinet, and the font size of Tongtian Liang is called to the outside world.

"I will send you a hundred little brothers and thirty old brothers to break his formation for Lao Tzu."

"Got it!" Yingmenliang knew that he was using his little brothers as cannon fodder, and these little brothers were not young, but newly attached homeless people and broken households, all of which were used as cannon fodder. Tong Tianliang planned to wait for them to set off, and also brought more than a dozen of his bandits to follow, ready to attack them as he had just done, these people were his old subordinates for many years, and they were very brave in battle, equivalent to his family.

After the two of them finished discussing, they were not verbose, and Tongtian Liang immediately sent a personal entourage to lead more than a hundred little brothers, and after threatening and agitating, they were ready to set off. Yingmenliang took thirty old brothers, mixed among the little brothers, he still rode on horse, so that he could see more clearly, and was about to give the order to attack, a group of bird-gun soldiers turned from the back to the front, and an officer kept giving vague orders, at this time there were still seventy or eighty paces apart, he had seen the firearms of the officers and soldiers, but he was not worried at all.

The old bandits shouted at the little brothers, and they also saw the bird gun team eighty steps away, but they were not too worried about it like Yingmenliang, how could the bird guns of the official army fight so far, and they had just lined up the people, and there was a sudden explosion on the opposite side.

"Ahh The two bandits screamed and fell to the ground, and the team suddenly became chaotic again, and the people behind didn't know what was going on, and wanted to squeeze to the front row to see, but Yingmenliang could see clearly, it was the birds of the official army who beat them, and the dog day could fight so far, he was trembling, and quickly got off the horse, and scolded his subordinates to advance, but there was a lot of noise around him, mixed with screams, and no one could hear him.

He took the scabbard all the way over, and finally made these people quieter, and there was a roar on the other side, and three bandits fell to the ground, and the screams became louder, one of them was hit in the abdomen, the bullet was very large, and opened a big blood hole in the belly, and some of the green intestines that were stirred up flowed out, the bandit screamed very fiercely, and the little brothers around him retreated one after another, they were stimulated by the scene in front of them, and the little blood was long gone.

"Fuck you, so fast." Tongtian Liang also heard it in the back, the interval between the two was very short, at least much shorter than he thought, he had just seen that there was only a team of bird guns, how could it be so fast. Looking at the increasingly noisy group of bandits in front of him, he knew he couldn't wait.

"Yingmenliang, what the hell are you waiting for Lao Tzu to send you, what kind of queue, just rush over."

Yingmenliang broke out in a cold sweat and shouted: "If you want to eat meat and sleep with a little lady, kill the officers and soldiers!" ”

The bandits responded in unison, but compared to just now, the momentum has decreased a lot, and everyone rushed towards the officers and soldiers over there, they were afraid of the officers and soldiers, and they were somewhat hesitant to rush, and the speed was much slower, and they had just rushed thirty paces, and there was another burst of gunfire on the opposite side. A few more bandits fell to the ground, and the courage that everyone had just mustered dissipated a lot in an instant, and they all slowed down, and many little brothers rushed to the sides and behind.

After entering fifty paces, the bird soldiers on that side were divided into two groups, each retreated to the back row on both sides and continued to reload, but another archer began to shoot arrows, shooting down several people one after another, and two or three archers among the bandits also began to fight back, but only four round shields could be seen on the opposite side, and the others were hiding in the back row, and the arrows that were shot were blocked by the round shields, and not a single hair was shot.

Yingmenliang looked at the opposite formation while charging into the formation, and secretly calculated that only two sword and shield soldiers were placed in front, and as soon as he rushed to the front to resist the sword and shield soldiers from the front, the long weapons behind him were useless.

The bandits have lost more than ten people, on the verge of collapse, the little brothers in the front row watched the hedgehog-like enemy formation rush slower and slower, and fell behind, most of the middle are old brothers, but Yingmenliang doesn't care, now it has reached thirty steps, and it will be close combat soon, he thinks that once the hand-to-hand combat, these officers and soldiers will still quickly retreat, and several bandits who shoot arrows also collected their bows and drew their waist knives.

With a shout from the other side, many figures flashed out from behind the four round shields on both wings at the same time, forming a dense horizontal formation. Yingmenliang's face immediately became gloomy, and his abacus of breaking the formation from the round shield failed.

Note 1: The diameter of the bird gun is 9-13 mm, and the Ming system is 3-4 inches.
