Chapter 64: Fat Sheep or Evil Tiger
Today, when he heard that there was a Xishan village by the sea, there was such a fat sheep, so Chen Guangfu immediately became interested, and sent his right-hand man to Xishan Village, and gave him 500 soldiers, and also gave him 300 people, and ordered him to go to Xishan Village and grab a batch of grain to go back.
So this guy surnamed Wan immediately gathered his soldiers in a hurry, and Hu Biaobiao rushed towards Xishan Village with his men and horses.
When he saw Xishan Village from afar, the guy surnamed Wan immediately led the troops, accelerated his speed, carried some improvised siege equipment, and drove the three hundred people, intending to come over and take this Xishan Village in one go.
At this time, he seemed to have seen that after capturing Xishan Village, the rumored mountains of grain and the little ladies with fine skin and tender meat were in a pretty good mood.
"The brothers all understood, it is said that in this Xishan Village, there is a big fat sheep, the village is full of grain, and there are hundreds of women. Give Lao Tzu an attack in one fell swoop, and everyone's benefits are indispensable! ”
When those rebels heard this, they all came to their senses, screamed, and copied the guys in their hands one by one, and each began to speed up and run towards Xishan Village.
Wu Shengtian held the binoculars, quietly observing the group of rebels rushing in the distance, when the number of rebels was determined, and after listening to the report of the scouts who came back, a cruel sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he put down the monocular in his hand.
"There are only 500 rebels, and with 300 people who are coerced, they actually want to come and knock down Lao Tzu's Xishan Village, this rebel army is too self-sufficient!"
Liu Wei also nodded, the strength of the rebels coming over this time really does not pose any threat to them at present, not to mention the troops arranged in the Tuweizi of Yangma Island, just the troops placed in Xishan Village are enough to deal with these rebels.
So he nodded and said, "It seems that the rebels don't know how powerful we are!" Then it's up to you, Brother Wu! How are you going to fight? Do you lead your troops out and attack them head-on, or do you stick to the wall? ”
Wu Shengtian pursed his lips slightly, and sneered: "Stick to the wall? That's too much to look down on them! With only 500 rebels, can Lao Tzu stay in the village honestly and hold on? Of course, I led the troops out to kill them! ”
After Wu Shengtian came, Liu Wei had already received an order from Shangfeng to hand over the military operation to Wu Shengtian to be specifically responsible, so he did not interfere with Wu Shengtian's command, so he nodded with a smile and said, "It's okay!" The brothers have been holding back for a long time, and they have never seen such a battle, so it is time for the brothers to go out and practice their hands! It just so happens that those newly formed township soldiers can learn how to fight with them, even if they don't need them, at least let them see blood! I'll be much bolder in the future! ”
After saying that, Wu Shengtian turned around and went down, and shouted loudly at the gate of the village: "The brothers of the second company have listened, leave a company of five rows to guard the village, you go out with Lao Tzu, clean up these bastard things!" There are also township soldiers, you go out with Lao Tzu, see the battle, don't use the province's daily light practice, this can't be a good soldier! ”
When the soldiers in the stockade heard this, they didn't say a word, and immediately rushed down the wall, carrying their weapons, and immediately began to line up inside the wall.
In just two minutes, a sea wolf standard infantry company was lined up in the walled gate, ready to set off, but the township soldier company that had not been organized for a long time was far from their speed, although the platoon commanders were shouting loudly to order their men to line up at the designated position, but they had never seen a battle, they looked a little nervous, and they couldn't quickly line up the queue for a while.
Wu Shengtian shouted impatiently: "Cui Ergou, how did you train these township soldiers?" Why is it so slow? Forget it, you form a team here, I'll lead the troops out to meet them first! ”
At this time, Liu He, who was watching the battle on the wall, shouted: "Brother Wu, after you go out, it's best not to kill those people and strong, you can save them, it's better to save them, and take the scout team out, so that you can be more sure!" ”
Wu Shengtian nodded and said, "Got it!" Scouts on board! Go out with Lao Tzu, listen to my orders for a while, and act when the opportunity arises! ”
After more than 20 scouts received the order, they immediately roared, summoned their war horses, flew on their horses one by one, lifted the reins of the horses, and at the moment when the gate of the village opened, they rode their horses out of the gate first, and first suppressed their positions outside the wall, stopping the rebels outside from continuing to approach the wall.
The rebel general surnamed Wan was originally excited to lead the troops to kill him, but when he saw that he was about to reach the outside of Xishan Village, he saw that the gate of Xishan Village was opened, and more than 20 horses rushed out in a blink of an eye.
After the more than 20 horsemen rushed out of the gate, the horses' hooves flew over, splashing a lot of snow and ice, and instantly blocked their way.
The surname Wan looked at it, and he was a little confused, and said in his heart, you are only more than 20 fucking rides, is it possible that you still want to stop Lao Tzu from attacking the village? Just as he was about to order the more than 30 horseback soldiers under his command to rush over and kill the more than 20 horsemen, the pupils of his eyes suddenly shrank.
He saw that from the gate of the village, there is a team running out of the village with a running action, this team is in a neat formation, even if it is running out of the village, but the formation is not chaotic at all, five people in a row, ten people in a column, one after another from the village out of the stream.
In a short period of time, these more than 200 villagers rushed out of the gate of Xishan Village and quickly formed a formation outside the village.
After seeing this situation, the surnamed Wan chuckled in his heart, feeling that things seemed to be a little wrong today, he didn't expect that there would be so many township soldiers in this Xishan Village, and it seemed that these township soldiers were actually quite well-trained.
Looking at it carefully, his heart was full of surprise, because he actually saw that these township soldiers were all carrying the "bird guns" of the same color, grandma's, what is the origin of the fat sheep in this Xishan Village? How do you have so many birds?
But after seeing clearly the bird guns that the opponent was carrying, this rebel general surnamed Wan suddenly felt a little relieved, he was very familiar with this thing bird guns, and they Dongjiang Army had also equipped a lot, but this thing was a good thing, although the long-range shot was claimed to be very sharp, but in fact this thing was not easy to use, and from time to time it exploded, the chance of killing the opponent was not as high as the chance of being blown up, so they usually didn't like to use this thing.
If these township soldiers use these bird guns to guard the wall, then it is really not easy to deal with, but what kind of people do these goods think of themselves? Actually rushed out of the village with the bird guns on their shoulders, do you want to use these bird guns to defeat them?
Although his soldiers and horses are not elite among the rebels, they are all Denglai's soldiers and horses, and the equipment is still quite good, almost everyone has armor, and among the 500 people he brought, at least 200 people have cotton armor.
Although the bird gun is very far away, and the fight is relatively accurate, but the power is very limited, in the summer, people do not wear armor, the bird gun can be fifty steps away, can kill and wound people, but in winter, now people are wearing thick cotton clothes, even if there is no cotton clothes, they are also wrapped in three layers inside and three layers outside, thick and solid, if you add the cotton armor on the body, ordinary bird guns, basically thirty steps away, can not kill people.
If you use a shield or an arm to protect your face, you can almost protect yourself from even the wounds, as long as the opponent finishes shooting a row of guns, then they are relieved, and they rush up, and before the opponent can reload and fire, they have already killed the enemy.
For such tactics, the surname Wan is in Dongjiang Town, and it has long been clear that it can no longer be clear, in the past, the Tartar soldiers also dealt with their firecrackers in this way, often the firecrackers only have a chance to shoot, and then the bird guns in their hands become burning sticks, once the enemy is close, they can only stretch their necks and wait to be slaughtered.
So when the surnamed Wan saw that the township soldiers who rushed out of Xishan Village were actually carrying a bird gun, instead of being frightened, he was relieved.
With his knowledge of the birds, he was not afraid of these birds at all, as long as he led them to release the guns first, he would immediately rush over, and then the next thing was to see him unilaterally slaughter.
So he ordered to guard the soldiers and horses, and sent people to drive more than 300 people who were forcibly wrapped to the side to watch, while shouting orders, let his soldiers in armor go up to the front of the battle, and at the same time let more than 30 personal soldiers on horseback watch the battle behind, and keep an eye on the more than 20 village soldiers on horseback in Naxi Mountain Village, in case they charge the battle at a critical time.
At this time, from the village, suddenly more than 200 township soldiers came out, and this time the township soldiers who came out seemed to be not as neat as the group of township soldiers carrying bird guns that came out just now, but it made the surnamed Wan feel a lot of pressure.
Because most of the township soldiers who came out this time were carrying spears, and some of them also held some knives and cards, which made him feel difficult to deal with.
The infantry army lined up against the enemy, the most afraid is to meet the opponent's gun array, the two sides push flat, after colliding together, they are often holding spears against stabs, which requires considerable courage for soldiers, in order to face the other party's spears like a forest without retreating, often in the battle, the first party that can not withstand the psychological pressure becomes the defeated side, and then just wait to be chased and killed.
The surnamed Wan never thought that in this Xishan Village, there were so many township soldiers, and five hundred township soldiers were opened out at once, which was actually equal to his strength.
