Chapter 534: The Mandarin Duck spreads its wings
Therefore, Geng Shaoquan sneered: "Dog official, you are dying, and you dare to be hard-mouthed, the revenge of the school that day, grandpa has revenge!" This time, the Ye Guang Franc machine will bring three doors, this is the real Franc machine, unloaded from the Yi ship, and it will kill you. Sons, give it to me! Whoever wins the Qincha, Geng Ye, I will pay five hundred taels of silver plus one hundred acres of fields! ”
Zeng Shifang peeked at the back of the team and said secretly: This is strangely handsome, no wonder Fairy Xia is willing to give birth to a child for him, and he doesn't even care about killing his ancestors. Let's see what kind of character he is and what kind of means he uses to command operations. However, most of the coastal Ming troops are straw bales, and this new army may not be used. When he was in danger for a while, Zengye shouted again, promising to earn an official hat for my step-grandfather and come back.
It was not the people of the Geng family who fought in the front, but Li Wenzao's one hundred and ten dead soldiers and the fifty true widows, who rushed over in two teams like waves, and behind them were Geng Shaoquan's men. Whether these people are dead soldiers or those Geng family brave battalions, they don't have any concept of formation, they are a swarm of bees when they charge, and they fight a bad battle after they get closer, compared to the kung fu on their bodies and the strength that is not afraid of death.
I saw that they took the lead with real widows, and the others followed the charge, shouting and screaming in their mouths. In stark contrast to the silent Zhejiang soldiers. And those of the real widows, as the elite strength of this mutiny, are in groups of two and two, jumping left and right, and the wild sword dances in his hand, reflecting the sunlight, like a knife wheel, which is very different from those rural people fighting in groups, and can be called majestic.
Jiang'an followed Hu Zongxian's side, and he knew a lot of battles with the Japanese Kou, and said: "These are really Japanese people. Callsign jumping. The sword reflects the sun. In order to deter the hearts of the three armies. Their formation is called the butterfly formation, quite a bit of a doorway, as soon as our soldiers see the formation of the Japanese invaders, they are often frightened and timid, and do not dare to take the formation, only three percent of the ten things are left, and they are defeated without a fight. ”
Don't look at the real widows, there are only fifty people, and there are some villagers in the back. At this time, the Ming army in Jiangnan was eroded, and its tactical level was not much better than that of the villagers who fought in groups. As soon as he heard this strange scream and looked at the other party's strength that was not afraid of death, Han Chunting on the wall of the prefect's yamen only felt that his legs were weak, although he was separated from the main formation of Qincha from a long distance, he still almost fell off the wall. Even a few local brocade guards were also trembling, and some even turned around to run. Yan Hong glared at them and said, "Those who retreat without permission will be killed!" That's what scared the people.
Yan Hong himself went through the Battle of Jinan, and even the Mongols had seen it. Regardless of your own strength, from the point of view. This enemy is no longer in sight. Seeing that the enemy soldiers are getting closer and closer, although there are many people and horses, the team is scattered, even if it is a butterfly formation like a real wolf, there is nothing surprising. Looking at its combat effectiveness, it was probably not much stronger than the White Lotus Sect that day, and he was even more sure in his heart. But seeing that Ye Zhengfei was looking at himself, Yan Hong nodded, Ye Zhengfei only waved his hand down and ordered, "Shoot!" ”
At the sound of an order, the gunshots were loud, and smoke rose in front of the battle. Yan Hong's left-behind troops, the total number of shotguns exceeded 100, Yan Hong concentrated these guns in the hands of Jinyiwei, divided them into three batches, and fired them in turns.
Because the Jinyi guards in the capital were all paper-wrapped ammunition, the loading speed was greatly improved, and the bullets were like splashing water, Geng Shaoquan was dazed by this row of guns, and roared angrily: "What kind of gun is this, why is it so evil, when can the bird gun be so fast?" What about our fast guns, and what about the Franc machine? ”
Although those real wretches were fierce, they couldn't bear the guns, and they were knocked down several times in one go, and the others retreated one after another. Geng Shaoquan's gunners also loaded their guns with medicine, twenty shotguns, and three Franc machines for ignition. His three Franc machines were actually large muskets, with a slightly larger caliber and ammunition weighing one or two, which was very powerful. What's more, his Franc machine was dismantled from a foreign ship in a serious way, and was regarded by Geng Shaoquan as a magic weapon to defeat the enemy. A brocade guard was hit by this large projectile, and the paper armor on his body was completely useless, and he was shot directly through it, and his dead body fell to the ground. The bullets from the other two Franc machines hit the wall, shattering the wall tiles.
Although the two sides were shooting at each other, Geng Shaoquan's fast gunners, because they were facing the imperial court, and seeing that the other party's guns were like popping beans, they were psychologically nervous, and the guns were released in a hurry, and they lost their heads and missed a few people. In particular, Yan Hong's team had a high approval rate, and when they were hit by projectiles, they couldn't penetrate it, so the casualties were very small.
However, the shotgun on Yan Hong's side achieved a high rate of fire with an average of one shot per minute, and the fast gunners on Geng Shaoquan's side fell into disarray. A few people threw down the shotgun, and the Franc machine ran away, saying: "Big brother, this is really unbearable, their guns are too fast, this is a new guy in the imperial court, our guy doesn't do anything." ”
Geng Shaoquan's gunmen are all close to their own relatives, and they have a deep relationship with each other and are diligent in walking. Although he held the national treasure knife given by Li Wenzao, he was ruthless to cut his own clan. I had to pause and say: "Waste, you are all waste!" ”
Seeing that this group of men and horses was beaten back by the gunners of the Qin Cha, and the formation was scattered, if the officers and soldiers came to a counter-assault, I am afraid that even the entire army would be scattered. He had to grit his teeth and say, "Rush with me if you wear armor!" Archers, release the arrows! ”
He relied on the Hongyi plate armor on his body, and took the lead in raising his sword to charge, and the Geng clan in the team, seeing that his eldest brother was charging, was also like a chicken blood, shouting and rushing up. The real widows and the dead soldiers of the Li family in front of them also launched a charge again, killing the officers and soldiers like a tide. The archers in the rebel ranks also fired bows and arrows as cover. All of a sudden, the arrows flew sideways, and the white blades were dazzling.
It is important to know that even during the Anti-Japanese War, white-knuckle warfare was still an important means of warfare, and in the Napoleonic era, the level of white-knuckle warfare of the French army was known as the first in Europe, and it repeatedly took the initiative to launch white-knuckle charges on the battlefield. There is also a proverb in the Russian army that "a bayonet is a hero, a bullet is a fool." Until the First World War, it was actually very unreliable to completely stop the enemy with firearms. Not to mention in the earlier Ming Dynasty. Once the rebels are desperate, it will be difficult for the firearms on Yan Hong's side to completely stop it. Although a burst of fire knocked down more than a dozen rebels, the rest of the men still rushed forward with shouts.
Seeing that the rebels and the Japanese were approaching, Wu Weizhong gave an order, and four teams of Zhejiang soldiers rushed out from both wings, and four mandarin duck formations lined up in a straight line to block the momentum of the enemy's forward rush. These Zhejiang soldiers were in a very advantageous position, and they lined up in formation, Geng Shaoquan's subordinates were blocked by the end of the four teams of Zhejiang soldiers, and the advantage of being large in numbers could not be brought into play.
Those Japanese samurai have always been fierce, and when they saw that they were about to fight hand-to-hand, they also came to the spirit, and they screamed again and again. One by one, they jumped up and slashed with their swords. According to the previous combat experience, most of the Ming troops would raise their spears to parry, but the wooden pole guns could not stop the Japanese knives at all, and the end could only be the death of the guns.
But this time, the Japanese lost the move. But seeing the flags of the captains of each team waving and waving the wolf whisk, the wolf coward could not cut anyone with this knife at all, but instead sent himself to the wolf whisk that was more than five feet long. This weapon is made of bamboo, but the front end is an iron spear head, which is extremely sharp. If it is pierced, it is either a hole in the hand or a hole in the foot, or the intestine is broken. Several of them were picked to death just a foot away.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the others did not dare to jump around anymore, and instead ran directly to charge. However, the two wolves in each team cooperated with each other, and they were full of branches, and they swung open, and it was difficult to move forward. The wolf hands are all picky and powerful people, and they don't talk about any changes, but they just practice the weapons in their hands according to their daily practice, from which they are leveling, riding dragons, and hooking until they retreat. It doesn't matter if these tricks are finished, start all over again, and they are not in a hurry, they use it again and again.
Although the knives in the hands of those true wives were fast, they were not so easy to cut through soft branches. Those twigs were poured with tung oil, and they were also very sharp, and they were even more powerful when they poked at the door. For a while, the exquisite knife technique of the wolf could not be brought into play at all, and he advanced and retreated in front of the wolf, screaming in a hurry.
Even Geng Shaoquan had never seen this kind of weapon. He is the true legend of Tiantai Temple, born in martial arts, although he has no way to lead the troops, but he still has some real skills at hand. If he fights alone, there are not many of these Zhejiang soldiers who can win him. However, at this moment, he waved a single knife in his hand, like a mountain of knives, but he couldn't cut people at all, but the red armor on his body was repeatedly stabbed by the iron head on the wolf's sword, and it was already damaged. Finally, he made a great effort, and got under the wolf's sword, trying to hack to death the officer who commanded with the flag, but the short soldier in front of him only raised his shield to block his sword, and at the same time four spears were handed out to stab, and the gun was a spear made of ash poles, and although his own knife was sharp, it was difficult to sharpen. I had to dial left and right. When he finally rushed into the middle door, two more boring rakes stabbed out. That weapon can both smash and lock weapons, which is the nemesis of his sword. And this thing is heavy, and it is not afraid of slashing. Geng Shaoquan took a few moves, and those sword and shield soldiers had already stepped forward to help. He saw the other party's formation, and the eleven people cooperated with each other, so good. Although he rushed into the battle, his subordinates were isolated outside, and they couldn't bargain at all, and if they continued to fight, they would suffer losses, so they had to retreat.
Fortunately, he is strong in martial arts, one in and one out, but he did not lose his life, but the plate armor on his body was pierced with thorns and belts, and it was already full of holes, and several of his own soldiers who rushed with him were killed. Looking at the rest of the soldiers and horses, they were also killed and injured under the volley of the Mandarin Duck Formation. Even if he broke through the volley of the wolf with dead and wounded, it would be difficult to break through the joint defense of the Mandarin Duck Formation, and he couldn't help but jump like thunder.
In this battle, there were also several casualties among the Zhejiang soldiers. But none of the casualties shouted. One of the people in the array was wounded, and the master of his own team came and helped him to retreat, and the captain temporarily took his weapon and took over for a while. If a second person is injured, a team from the rear will come forward to reinforce them. Replace the whole team here, and then select people from other teams to fill the formation. There are war dead, and the master of the team also retreats with the dead body on his back, which can be described as orderly.
There are always four mandarin duck formations in front to stop the chaotic army, and the rear ones are either repaired or supplemented, but the entire combat repair is silent. Geng Shaoquan couldn't help but feel chills in his heart, he had never seen the silent troops in such a tearing and killing, were these people people or puppets? (To be continued......)
