Chapter 3 Yongzhen Guangxi (23)

As soon as Ding walked on this improvised patchwork position, the smell of gunsmoke choked, this was the first time that he and his troops were severely injured by firearms, which had never happened before. Ding Yi knelt down on one leg and smeared the soldiers in the first row, and did not close his eyes until he died. Neither the dead soldiers, nor the large part of those still alive, have ever considered protection against firearms.

This is not just a soldier's problem, whenever it comes to such a subject, whether it is an instructor, a sergeant major, or a squad leader, they all rarely show a smile, even for soldiers whose tactical movements are not standardized, if they reprimand them with a straight face, they are usually just: "Your mother!" If you are transferred to the north at that time, the Tartars will not be able to get firearms from the border tun, and you will be dead! ”

The Tartars got firearms, yes, the Warats, the Tatars have such a possibility, and there is also the possibility of the confrontation between the 1st Division of the Ming Dynasty and the soldiers of the guard, this is a topic that the grassroots officers understand in their hearts but do not resort to. But almost no one expected that Hou Dagou's subordinates in Guangxi would also attack with firearms.

And from Ding Yi's point of view, Hou Dagou's department did a good job, for the concealment and salvo of the handles, there was a wooden frame that was chopped by Wen Fat and scattered to the edge of the position, Ding Yi saw that Fang Cai's salvo was not manually operated, but pulled by rope. Whether it was camouflage, or rope pulling to compensate for the soldier's discipline required for a salvo, or to prevent demoralization caused by exploding, Ding Yi had to admit that his enemy had done the best they could.

"Luckily, it's the guard company." Ding Yi sighed so lowly, looking at the puzzled eyes of the soldiers around him. Ding Yi patted them on the shoulder and stood up, "We can withstand such casualties, we can fight back." We can beat them! But if it's an ordinary teammate, maybe ......" He didn't continue, but the soldiers all nodded, everyone knew what Lu Dao Ding Yi meant, if it was an ordinary company, maybe it would collapse the moment it was attacked.

The military literacy of ordinary companies is not as good as that of guard companies is one aspect. They were also not equipped with the most primitive semi-automatic firearms, the revolver, although only six rounds, with rearloading ammunition and a nest of six rounds. It also allows them to shoot twelve rounds in a minute in the panic of being ambushed, allowing them to fight in a three-person fireteam instead of lining up to shoot.

"That Yan. You should have walked with that fat man. Wu Du was behind Ding Yi. He whispered, "If you care about Empress Puerti and don't run away, maybe there will be no Genghis Khan." What she said was that when the Mier beggars attacked Temujin, Genghis Khan left his wife Puerti alone and fled for his life, and when he snatched his wife back, the Muchi that Puerti was carrying was obviously not Temujin's flesh and blood.

She didn't say this for nothing. Because in their team, there are more than a dozen Yao girls. The Yao girl who is going to follow Ding Yi back to Wuzhou and go to the field hospital to learn to be a nurse, including King Yao's favorite youngest daughter, Mei Lun. Wu Dugan felt that it was precisely because Ding Yi couldn't let them go that he didn't break through.

Ding Yi took the long knife, wiped the blood on it, shook his head and said, "No, I'm not Temujin. He didn't care about those Yao girls, he didn't care so much, what Ding Yi cared about was his soldiers, "They don't fight for a guy who will abandon himself and flee for his life at any time!" At the very least, I don't want the person I'm following to be a guy who will only run for his life in times of crisis. ”

"But, ......sir," Liu Tie leaned over and stammered, "You are carrying more than just these hundred people...... We want to, we want to change the fate of this nation......" He swallowed his saliva and plucked up the courage to say to Ding Yi, "Tie is not afraid of death, but Tie is afraid that Mr. will die......"

Ding put a long knife into the sheath, but said loudly to the soldiers beside him: "Don't be afraid of death, don't use any excuse to escape the battle, if this nation will awaken, one Ding Yi falls, more Ding Yi will stand up!" No one is indispensable, I don't care at all, if I die, everything will be over, then, what is the meaning of Rongcheng Academy, Jingshi Academy, Nanyuan Academy, and Wuzhou Academy? What I care about, soldiers, is that I am not alone at this moment; What I care about is that you are with me, and you will never run away from death! ”

"Never run away!" Even the seriously wounded in the defense line shouted, and for a while, the more than 90 surviving people roared excitedly. Yes, no one wants to be under siege and follow a general who will run away at any time, for whatever reason.

"I'm going to Quantai to recruit the old department, and I'll send a hundred thousand banners to fight for Yama!" Ding Yi laughed and plagiarized the future verses again.

And those soldiers also shouted after him: "100,000 banners to fight Yama!" "Follow the sir, fuck the king of Yama!" ”

No one was aware of the problem with this poem that sounded so heroic, not even Ding Yi, a plagiarist.

However, some of the leaders in the rebel army's position, one of whom had read for a few years and knew some words, vaguely listened to the call and frowned: "Who is the damn thief?" How does it sound that Ding Rongcheng's rebellion smells stronger than me? 100,000 banners to fight Yama, isn't this a dead ball and you have to go to the underworld to rebel? ”

Zheng Ang smelled a strange smell and instructed his henchmen: "Hurry up and pass the order, Ding Rongcheng is afraid that he will fight to the death, first slow down and then rush, shit, this Ding Rongcheng is a madman!" We have to wait for their breath to slow down before they can rush again, or they will rush forward now, and the casualties will be very large! ”

The commander of the four hundred heroes on the side nodded and said, "Little Brother Zheng is really a soldier. "Ding Yi's death is an inevitable fact, so how to reduce the number of deaths and injuries of his brothers and achieve this goal has become a key matter, obviously Ding Yi is already dead, and he has to pay off all these thousands of people to give Ding someone a funeral, that is not a decision that a general with a brain should make.

The 30 kilograms of yellow explosives that the fat man always got in Duqiao Mountain still left an extremely terrible psychological shadow on the rebels, making them extremely worried that Ding Yi would sacrifice his life to make such a move "Five Thunder Rectification" at this critical juncture. Especially when it seems that Ding Yi has no chance of escaping.

"It's a pity that those handcuffs are ......" the leader of the four hundred heroes sighed so lowly, he listened to the report of the rebels, saying that the "first row" under Ding Rongcheng was basically killed by that round of dozens of handguns, "If you come here for two more rounds, you don't have to take your lives to fill it!" ”

Zheng Ang smiled disapprenosingly: "Brother, you want to be crooked." Where did the handcuffs come from? ”

"Captured from the soldiers of the guard, and ...... in the city of Wuzhou Prefecture"

Zheng Ang nodded and said, "Isn't that it?" The officers and soldiers already have these things, so what's the use? Isn't it that we can come and go when we want? If you are accustomed to relying on those objects, the brothers will not fight in the future, and you still have to fight with real knives and guns, which is the fundamental! The leader listened and thought for a while, but he couldn't help but nod.

In fact, in the final analysis, the lethality of the firearms they hold and the ability to fire sustainably are too low, and they cannot make the soldiers have enough discipline to achieve a salvo. The firearms of the Ming army, even if they went to the end of the Ming Dynasty, except for the peerless famous generals such as Yu Long and Qihu, were basically the enemy who fired first before they reached the firing range, and the enemy broke up when he rushed closer.

No matter how good the firearms are, if they go to the hands of the Ming army, the effect is really not enough, and there is still a problem with firearms at this time, that is, they love to blow up the chamber, in this world, the army that dares to put their eyes on the gap and aim, except for those who don't know firearms at all, is about only Ding Yi's troops - Zheng Ang doesn't dare! Otherwise, he wouldn't have figured out a way to pull the hanging knife with a rope.

Those leaders of the rebel army wanted to finish the battle quickly, because Ding Rongcheng had less than 100 people, and there were about 500 brothers here, and there were 2,000 or 3,000 people, so they kept coming to ask for battle. It was only when he had been to Yin that around three o'clock in the afternoon that Zheng Ang agreed to the invitation of the rebel commanders, and a new round of charge began.

I have to say that Hou Dagou taught Zheng Ang to lead the army with great vision, after the rectification of the rebel army, the leaders with more casualties, and his subordinates were all stuffed by Zheng Ang into the hands of other leaders, those leaders were naturally unwilling, especially those veteran leaders of the rebel army who obeyed orders under Lan Shouer with Hou Dagou back then, but after the loss of the army, the four hundred strong men assigned to Zheng Ang by Hou Dagou were not decorations, plus Zheng Ang let go: "If you don't want to, it's okay, Brother you can lead these brothers to rush in front of the head in a while!" Or rush and refuse, and lend troops to other brothers and refuse, it seems that the brother wants to join the government? "This is not better than Ding Yi framing officials for rebellion, and there is a chance to defend himself, if Zheng Ang kills Ding Yi, and goes back to report to Hou Dagou that they have voted for the government, this word will go out, and absolutely in the future, all the righteous armies will rise up and attack; At least grit your teeth and really go to the government! Not to mention that many people have a blood feud with the government, even if they can let it go, today's siege and killing Ding Rongcheng's blood debt, where can the government accept their surrender?

So I didn't want to, so I had to grit my teeth and obey, so after the righteous army was rectified, it seemed that there was no damage, and the morale was like a rainbow, and he roared and shouted and killed again: "Kill his mother!" "It's top! "Kill the servant of the street! "Dead Red Guy, you are hard! ”

At this time, Ding Yi made a decision: "Liu Tie, organize the second and third platoons and pistol platoons, and fight against the river!" Medics, clerks, ordnance officers, and cooking squads reported to me to form a reserve. ”

Never run away, never give up, Ding Yi glanced at the north, where there are Rongcheng Academy, Jingshi Academy, Nanjing Academy, Wuzhou Academy, and Ding Ruyu...... He knew that he might die here today, but the fire he sprinkled would surely illuminate China! (To be continued......)
