Chapter 490: The Central Plains Thief (7)
The officers and soldiers are not moving, Ma Laosan is ready to move, and if it continues like this, if the Lushun general army sends a large group of men and horses behind him, his own family will not have a numerical advantage.
At present, there are 2,000 strong people in the village, and there are 600 horse bandits who lick blood at the knife all year round to help, this strength is that the guards of Nanyang Mansion dare not come to find trouble, not to mention his foreign soldiers and horses. There is a way that the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, this time let us teach the head snake a lesson to this strong dragon who does not know the height of the sky!
In Tangyin County, he has been a fast catcher for more than ten years, Ma Laosan has more or less led the auxiliary soldiers and catchers to suppress the small bandits who do not deal with his Ma family, and he is also famous in this Tangyin land, and in recent years, the officials and soldiers sent by the imperial court to suppress the rogue have also seen a lot. Therefore, Ma Laosan couldn't look down on the two thousand officers and soldiers carrying firearms in front of him, if these guys had the courage to rush up a long time ago, where would they shrink there and not move. A group of rabbles who can't even eat enough can compare to the clergy people who hold together.
"Call everybody! Fight quickly, go back to the village to eat meat after the fight! ”
Ma Laosan, who had calculated that he had a big chance of victory, had no patience, and asked his clan disciples to rush towards the official army with the people who were carrying knives and guns. The horse bandits who had been invited with a lot of money over there had also been impatient waiting, and when they saw that the Ma family had moved, the leading boss Ha Luha smiled and led his horse bandits to rush towards the official army.
Hundreds of bandits on horseback charged, and the formation still looked quite scary. The Hui were very excited, shouting "Kill the Han dog, kill the Han dog!" "Rushed towards the officers. At the front were all young white hats, all of whom were holding large knives in their hands, and they looked very fierce with their teeth and claws
The officers and soldiers saw that the Hui Hui had moved, and they also began to react, but instead of running, they began to move forward one by one with the shouts of the officers.
The officers and soldiers did not run?
The horse bandits were a little surprised, according to their previous experience, these hundreds of their own people rode forward on horseback, and the officers and soldiers in front of them had to run no matter which guard post they had, but the foreign soldiers and horses in front of them did not run but moved forward, and they still shouted "one, two, three, four" in their mouths and stopped, and then moved forward, which was really strange.
This person is moving, regardless of whether he is weird or not, he will rush first, maybe these officials and dogs from Lushun don't know how powerful our horse gang is, and they will treat us as little minions. When they get up and kill them fiercely, they will know that our heroes in Henan are not easy to mess with!
Seeing that the officers and soldiers were very well equipped, the big boss couldn't help but warm up, if he could get a few hundred more good long knives, he would be able to recruit more people. In this Henan territory, whether it is a rogue, a bandit, or a local hero, it is about strength, whoever is strong can survive, and who can grab more good things! The big bosses who have long wanted to expand their subordinates will naturally not let go of the good equipment of the officers and soldiers.
Because of the excitement, hundreds of horse bandits let out strange screams from their mouths, and the horse bandits at the front tried their best to bury their bodies while screaming, because they knew that once they entered the range of the official gun's firearms, the burning sticks in the hands of those official dogs would be fired.
No matter how lucky you are, you have to have dozens of brothers in the gun, but it doesn't matter, the official dog can only play one round, and the horse can rush in in the blink of an eye, and then it's time for our Ma Gang brothers to show their majesty!
As for the brother of the middle gun, he can't complain, the knife licks the blood, that's it, either you die or he dies today, there's nothing to complain about, anyway, the big girl and the little daughter-in-law have also ruined a lot, and the fairy days of drinking wine and eating meat in a big bowl have passed for a few days, even if it's worth dying!
Six hundred horse bandits roared towards them, but the officers and soldiers still did not make the slightest commotion, and the soldiers were still doing repetitive movements mechanically according to the officers' commands, and occasionally a few timid ones became calm because they were surrounded by their comrades, and kept breathing heavily with the firearms in their hands.
"Stop!"
"Ignition rope!"
When they were still a few hundred miles away from the bandits, the officers finally ordered the ranks to stop, and the soldiers took out the fire folds from their bosoms and lit the fire ropes in their hands.
"Raise the gun!"
The 200 gunners at the front of the line immediately raised their firearms.
"Put!"
After the bandits entered the firing range, the musketeers in the front row immediately pulled the trigger, and the immediately lit fire rope was snapped into the medicine room, and the powder chamber containing gunpowder was ignited with a "pop", and then with a "bang", the iron bullet loaded in the gun tube was launched.
"Put it again!"
Without any interruption, the gunners in the second row also fired the guns in their hands in an instant, while the gunners in the front row were already half-squatting on the ground.
One, two, and three firebolts of officers and soldiers seemed to never finish, and they continued to roar in the field of the empty mine
The Liaodong army was armed with a new type of arquebus built by Sun Yuanhua in Denglai, which was much more convenient than the bird's beak gun used by the Ming army before, but the projectile used was similar, and it would not be immediately fatal unless it hit the vital point.
But for the white-hatted returnees who had no armor to protect them, the dense rotation of more than a thousand firearms was enough to streak their corpses all over the field and stain the earth with blood.
After two years of training, the newly formed army adopted the tactic of firing in three stages, and the fire of the musket was like a queue of shots, which was enough to sweep away the return and horse bandits in front of them, which were not at all army troops.
Cao Bianjiao seized the Yellow River crossing and brought 6,000 cavalry, Dayong still has a battalion of cavalry guards on hand, if the cavalry is sent to fight these returns, the efficiency is definitely much higher than that of the infantry army, but Dayong still decided to send the infantry army to encircle and suppress these returns, because since the establishment of the new army, there has been almost no war, and the training of soldiers is completely dependent on those veterans to lead, although the training seems to have achieved the effect that Dayong wants, but an army that has not really experienced blood and fire is not a real strong army.
Before the battle with the Liukou, Dayong has always wanted to let his soldiers participate more in actual combat, but there is no good opportunity, and now those who are sent back to the door, this is obviously the best object for training compared with tens of thousands of Liukou who are dispatched at every turn.
If a battalion of infantry can't deal with a self-defending return, then there is no need to talk about exterminating the rogues, and hurry up and pack up and go home. Dayong had no doubts about the victory of the battle, and the only thing to consider was how many casualties there would be in this battle, and how many problems would leak out.
Wang Fei, who led his troops to the battle, was told that after the war, he would report the entire process of the battle to the General Staff Officer, so that the whole army could learn from it and improve some shortcomings that might cause mass casualties. At the same time, he got the order that the chickens and dogs should not be left, yes, the chickens and dogs should not be left, and Dayong asked that there was no one alive in the Majia village
After the Liaodong military guns were fired, the horse bandits were stunned, and the brothers in front kept falling off their horses, but the people behind couldn't rush to the front, because the guns of the official army were too dense, and the sound of guns was simply tens of thousands of troops firing guns at the same time, and there were flying bullets everywhere, where there was a gap for them to rush forward.
The horses and bandits were full of innumerable holes, each of which was only oozing blood, and they fell from their horses like a dismount, and then rolled on the ground like a gourd of blood and wailed, but they could not die until their blood was drained.
In the blink of an eye, three or four hundred brothers died, and looking at the officers and soldiers who were still raising their guns, the horse bandits realized that they had encountered hard stubble, and these official dogs were not their own prey, but hunters who hunted themselves.
The horse bandits are not really afraid of death, they are not a well-trained army, after witnessing the tragic situation of their companions, panic broke out in an instant, the remnants of the horse bandits did not want to turn around and run, but this is in the middle of the charge where can it be said to turn around and turn around, suddenly more than two hundred horse bandits were in a mess, and a few unlucky guys were knocked to the ground by their own family members in the panic.
The big boss of the horse bandit is the first to run, and he can be the big boss naturally has a vision, this battle must not be fought again, he is here to make a fortune, but not to send him to death, while the official army has no cavalry, this will run quickly, how many can run is a few, it is better than dying here. I don't know if he was running in a hurry or too scared, the big boss actually fell off the horse, fortunately he didn't fall and was about to get up, but he saw a guy rushing towards him with a horse, and he was so frightened that he quickly rolled on the spot, so he didn't step on it.
The strength of the official and military guns and the collapse of the horse bandits made the white-hat returnees stunned, Ma Derong immediately broke off the horse and ran away, he ran, those returnees naturally would not be stupid enough to continue to send them to death, and they also followed a swarm of bees to run into the village. It seems that these Huihui are not afraid of death, nor are they ignorant of the high ground and the thickness of the road, and they are afraid of the four words of bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, and the Hui Hui is quite thorough and skillfully used.
Defeated like that?
Ma Derong and Ma Xiangming, who were watching the battle in the village, were stunned, and everyone was frightened by the sound of the official army, and they all had the same thought in their minds: Why are the officers and troops in Lushun so strong, and why can't they finish their firecracks?
Finding that the Huihui who rushed with the horse bandits turned around and ran, Wang Fei immediately ordered to stop shooting.
After the sound of the guns stopped, five hundred soldiers with long knives in their hands and wearing two layers of cotton armor separated from the brigade, their faces were expressionless, and they all had four skulls hanging from their waists, but they were the tiger guards set up by Dayong in each battalion.
Anyone who enters the tiger guard is a cannibal murderer.
