This time the number of people far exceeded the previous two times, dense, like ants going up the mountain, Sun Xiong knew that this was the enemy's third attack.

No, this should be said to be Zhang Xianzhong's third official attack after the reinforcement, speaking of the attack, the old back rushed back a few times, Zhang Xianzhong drove the people to rush seven times, plus sent elite charges, a total of more than ten times before and after, no, soon after night, began to enter the battle, now look at the sky, it is estimated that the sky will be bright in half an hour, Sun Xiong gritted his teeth, and waved his slightly trembling hand hard: "Resist me, people are there, the position is there." ”

Pulling arrows is a technical job, but drawing a bow is a physical work, a three-stone strong bow, ordinary soldiers can pull about twenty times, elite soldiers can pull about thirty or forty times, the soldiers of the Wenchong Department are each equipped with a special quiver, a pot of arrows is sixty, and now the arrows are almost finished, it can be seen from this that these soldiers are indeed tired, Rao is as strong as a little bull Sun Xiong, because he pulled the bow and released too many arrows, and smashed a lot of big stones downward, and the arms were slightly trembling.

Although it is strong, it is still a long way from those famous generals who often carry dozens of pounds of weapons to slash and kill for a day.

"People are here, the position is in" The subordinates shouted at the top of their voices, and their morale rose suddenly.

"Kill!"

"Kill all these mobs."

"Smash me with a stone to let them know how powerful our Sichuan army is."

A great man in later generations said, no matter whether the black cat is a white cat, catching a mouse is a good cat, and it is the same on the battlefield, no matter what method is used, as long as the enemy can be put down, it is a victory, under the leadership of Sun Xiong and Li Dingguo, the soldiers who stick to the first line of defense are beaten with firearms, shot with bows and arrows, and smashed with stones, desperately resisting the enemy, and their eyes are red.

Li Dingguo gritted his teeth, picked up the stone and smashed it at the enemy under the mountain. The small ones were thrown out against the enemy, and the heavy ones rolled down, and they fought wherever there were many people, although the screams under the mountain continued, but Li Dingguo's heart was getting heavier and heavier: with the defense of wooden shields and rack cars, the lethality of firearms and bows and arrows against the enemy was greatly reduced, and the effect was far worse than at the beginning. It's close to the position.

The visual distance is only more than ten zhang.

"Peng Peng"

"Kill the officers and soldiers!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

"Peng Peng"

"Kill the dog!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

There were many people, hundreds of people charged together, and the sharp arrows of the officers and soldiers became fewer and fewer, and the sound of the fire bolts became more and more sparse, and the feelings of the mob began to rise, killing an officer and soldier was ten taels of silver, and the first one to rush into the enemy formation was five hundred taels, this temptation was not small, and I heard that the officers and soldiers were weak. One by one, they were even more excited, so they knocked on the wooden shield in front of them with their weapons, and shouted slogans to deter the enemy. Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the positions of the officers and soldiers, many people began to scream strangely.

People die for money, birds die for food, and the eyes of these mobs are red.

"Captain. The quiver is empty. ”

"Captain, there's no gunpowder."

"His grandmother's, there are no arrows. Even finding some rocks is difficult. ”

A group of subordinates continued to report to Sun Xiong, and after a night of fierce fighting, the "ammunition" in their hands was urgent.

Sun Xiong stood up suddenly, turned around and picked up the sledgehammer he had specially built, and said with a stern face: "Brothers, we fought with them. ”

Li Dingguo also raised the iron gun in his hand with a solemn face, and shouted loudly, "People are here, and the position is there." ”

"People are here, the position is in" The subordinates were infected by the anger of the two captains, and one by one they threw down the fire hammer, threw away the strong bow, drew out their weapons, and shouted loudly with a solemn face.

It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders, and it is the honor of a soldier to complete the task, and in the face of the mob rushing up densely, no one is afraid and retreats, one by one holding weapons, staring at the mob that is about to rush up with red eyes, like a group of hungry wolves who want to pack a meal.

Killing one is enough, killing two earns one.

"Woo woo woo woo"

At the most critical moment, there was a sudden sound of gold from the mountain, which was a signal to retreat.

Sun Xiong and Li Dingguo glanced at each other and nodded in understanding.

"Your Excellency has an order, retreat," Sun Xiong commanded loudly.

Li Dingguo added later: "Bring all the weapons, as well as your brothers, whether they are injured or dead, bring them all, don't fall into the hands of bandits and let them spoil them." ”

Everyone responded, some helped the wounded, some carried the bodies of their dead comrades, some gathered their weapons, some were responsible for covering up, and when the bandits rushed to the first line of defense, Shun Lì withdrew from the line of defense that had been held all night.

Well-trained is different, even the retreat is chaotic and orderly.

"The official dog has retreated, woo woo, it's really good."

"Finally take it, brothers, chase, see where they run."

"Kill all these dog officers and soldiers."

After almost a night, under Zhang Xianzhong's strong attack at any cost, Lu Haoshan lost the first line of defense.

In the cheers of the people and bandits under the mountain, Sun Xiong and Li Dingguo walked up to Lu Haoshan with some trepidation and saluted, Sun Xiong said with a ashamed face: "My lord, I didn't hold the position, please punish me." ”

"Please punish your lord," Li Dingguo also pleaded guilty with a ashamed face.

Wrong is wrong, right is right, although there are many difficulties, but the position is indeed not held, under Lu Haoshan's teaching, they do not have the habit of finding reasons.

Lu Haoshan waved his hand and said: "That's right, you have held for a night, and you have repelled the enemy's fourteen attacks before and after, which has exceeded my expectations, and I asked you to retreat, the position was still in your hands when you retreated, where is the lost position, okay, get up." ”

"Master Xie."

"Have you counted the casualties?" Lu Haoshan is most concerned about this matter.

Who calls himself not many subordinates, and besides, they all spend a lot of money to cultivate, and they can't afford to lose.

Li Dingguo whispered: "Sixty-two people were wounded, of which eight were seriously injured and seventeen were killed in battle. ”

Lu Haoshan gasped, and sent two teams with a total of 200 people to guard the first line of defense, with absolute advantages in terrain and weapons, plus it was dark and not conducive to attacking, but he didn't expect that in the end, nearly half of the casualties would be lost, if there was no batch of firearms, it is estimated that the casualties would be even greater.

Killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred themselves, these bandits are not muddy.

Lu Haoshan's thoughts flashed through him, and he immediately ordered: "Okay, take care of the wounded, and then rest well." ”

"What about us?" Sun Xiong said loudly: "My lord, I still have strength, I can fight again." ”

"Me too," Li Dingguo immediately echoed loudly.

"You have been busy all night, you should also rest and rest, there are so many enemies, are you afraid that you will not have a chance?" Lu Haoshan said with a smile: "You should also let other brothers loosen their muscles and bones, and move activities, you can rest when you are tired, if you are not tired, then watch Dashan's performance in the second line of defense." ”

No wonder they didn't reinforce themselves, at least they didn't even send gunpowder and arrows, and it turned out that their own adults didn't plan to defend a line of defense to the end.

Sun Xiong said with some curiosity: "My lord, what kind of performance?" ”

"Stupid" Lu Haoshan hadn't spoken yet, and Li Dingguo next to him had already spoken: "Are our artillery pieces used for decoration?" ”

"Boom"

"Boom Boom Boom"

As soon as the words fell, the deafening cannon sound continued to sound, in the dark, the artillery that had been hidden in the second line of defense revealed its original hideous face, constantly bombarded those swarming bandits, for a time flying sand and stones, flesh and blood flying, this weight of only 36 pounds of tiger squat cannon is easy to carry, especially suitable for use in mountainous and hilly areas, each launch can be loaded with 5 money weight of 100 small lead or small stones, when firing the size of the bullet flew out together, the roar is like thunder, the lethality and radiation range are very large, especially suitable for field warfare, The effective range reached 500 meters, and under the surprise, the 600 bandits suffered heavy losses, and they were stunned at once, and threw down more than 200 corpses and turned to run.

I only hate my father and mother for giving birth to two legs.

"Okay, blow it up, you should blow up these lawless guys." Seeing those mobs being blown to pieces, Sun Xiong, who had been fighting all night, felt extremely relieved and shouted loudly.

Zhao Dingguo also said happily: "Yes, with these artillery, we have another layer of chances of winning, or the adults are high-minded, set up the camp in Feilai Peak, and also build three defenses, otherwise we will be very passive, according to the current situation, we can easily support the arrival of reinforcements, and then the internal and external cooperation will definitely be able to annihilate them in one fell swoop." ”

It is getting closer and closer to the deadline for Chongzhen to order the suppression of bandits, and all the officers and soldiers are crazy to go out to suppress the bandits, it can be said that they are looking for traces of these bandits everywhere and take the initiative to attack, Lu Haoshan knows that there are many active officers and soldiers near this Feilai Peak, one day and one night, it is indeed enough for them to rush to reinforcements, if the situation is more optimistic, it is estimated that they will be able to arrive at noon, so that the situation of being surrounded will be easily solved.

Lu Haoshan nodded and said: "That's a good thing, but you can't be slack, the battlefield is changing rapidly, remember how I taught you?" ”

"Think in the good direction and think in the bad direction." Li Dingguo and Sun Xiong said in unison.

"Brother Zhang, don't" Just when Lu Haoshan was discussing with his two henchmen, Lao Hui at the foot of the mountain grabbed Zhang Xianzhong and said: "I didn't expect these officers and soldiers to be so cunning, there are so many artillery, the brothers are not prepared for a while, so it is okay to retreat temporarily, give them a chance, give them a chance." ”

A round of artillery blew up these bandits who didn't have much knowledge and were cold, and they ran away one by one, but running fast does not mean that they can pick up a small life, and the furious Zhang Xianzhong pulled his knife to kill a few of his men who withdrew the fastest, and ordered the supervising team to take all the righteous actions that escaped, so frightened that Lao Hui hurriedly stopped it.

There are more than 300 people who fled back, these are the elite of the righteous army, and besides, these people are not all themselves and Zhang Xianzhong, and it is easy to have an accident if they are killed like this.

Dare to rebel, most of them are outlaws who pin their heads to the waistband of their trousers, and they are really forced to be anxious, maybe they didn't wait for the officers and soldiers to kill, and their own people fought hard. (To be continued......)
