Chapter 65: Confrontation
Although the surname Wan was taken aback by so many township soldiers pouring out of Xishan Village, he couldn't help but feel a little relieved when he thought of the large amount of food hoarded in Xishan Village.
It seems that Liu Yuanwai in this village may really have a lot of food, as long as he has enough food, then how many people he wants at this time, I am afraid that he can recruit as many people as he wants.
Although these township soldiers seem to have undergone good drills, in his eyes, these township soldiers should be mostly good-looking, and they should be able to scare people when they put on a show, but if they really run into these outlaws, as long as they cut and kill a few of them, it is estimated that they will be frightened by touching, and when the time comes, it is estimated that they will definitely be able to scatter and flee, then the next thing is the one-sided slaughter of his soldiers.
It just so happens that these township soldiers seem to be full of confidence today, and they actually dare to put a good wall of the village and not defend it, but they have to come out and fight against them outside the village.
If he can break up these village soldiers in one battle, then it is estimated that there will not be many village soldiers in this village, and it will be more convenient to capture this village when the time comes.
The more he thinks about it, the more he feels right, the more he thinks about it, the more he feels sure, the more he thinks about it, the more he feels that he has met a fool today, this time it may be his meritorious service, take the opportunity to get ahead in the army, if he can snatch back a large amount of food, and snatch back a large number of women, he will definitely be able to stand out among the rebels in the future, and turn back to be a chief military officer, it is not necessarily impossible.
Seeing that the villagers of Xishan Village had already left the stockade and lined up outside the stockade to block their way, the surnamed Wan saw that these villagers actually put those spearmen at the back of the queue, and they didn't seem to want them to step forward. ‘
Instead, he put the firecrackers in front of them, and under the command of a general, he removed the bird's guns from his shoulders and began to reload.
The surnamed Wan felt that these village soldiers, although on the surface, seemed to be quite well-trained, but they always thought that they were bluffing, so he beckoned a personal soldier and gave them a few orders.
As soon as the pro-soldier rode alone and kicked the horse's belly, he immediately galloped to the front of the two armies, and rushed straight to the front of the Xishan Village Township Soldier Queue with the arrogance to the extreme, flicked the horse's head, and circled twice in front of the Township Soldier Queue dozens of steps away, and then pulled the reins of the horse.
"The people in Xishan Village have heard it clearly to Lao Tzu, our general said, let's come here this time, don't ask for anything else, just want some food, if you know each other, you will quickly send out 3,000 stone of grain to Lao Tzu, and send out another 200 beautiful girls, we will not be embarrassed by you!
If not, don't blame us for not being emotional, don't look at your pretense, in the eyes of Lao Tzu, you are not even a fart! Lao Tzu, who is not fucking experienced in a hundred battles, are you afraid that you turtles will not succeed?
As long as you say no words, then let's stop blaming for a while, let's kill you Xishan Village and leave no chickens and dogs! Give you a stick of incense to consider, and if you don't agree, I'll kill you bastards! ”
When the rebel rode up, none of the sea wolf's infantry showed nervous expressions, and the officer did not give the order, although they were loaded, they still put the butt of their rifle at their feet, and not even one of them raised their guns.
Wu Shengtian was very satisfied with the expression of these soldiers under him, the order and prohibition had already been deeply engraved into their minds for these guys, and there was no order just now, and no one rashly raised his hand and raised his gun, revealing a nervous look, just indifferently watching this rebel arrogant in front of them, but the corners of some soldiers' mouths were slightly turned aside, revealing a trace of disdain.
After listening to the extremely arrogant clamor of this rebel, Wu Shengtian ignored him at all, turned around and grabbed a loaded wolf's tooth rifle from the hand of a musketeer behind him, stretched out his hand to lift the bracket, and opened the nose of the flintlock machine.
Without saying a word, he raised his hand to aim, only heard a bang, a cloud of gunpowder smoke rose from the muzzle of the gun, and a flash of fire flashed, and then looked at the rebel who was arrogantly arguing, the sound of the guy stopped abruptly with the gun, and let out a miserable scream, the body was already outside, and he fell under the horse, and after struggling a few times, he stopped moving.
The surname Wan was frightened by this sound, his pupils shrank suddenly, but he immediately showed anger, on the one hand, he was a little secretly surprised, the bird gun in the other party's hand seemed to be very powerful, and the hit was quite accurate, actually dozens of steps away, he knocked over the personal soldier under him at once, on the other hand, he was angry, it turned out that he also wanted to scare and scare these dirt buns, but he didn't expect that people gave him a dismount first, and he didn't eat him at all, and directly killed the personal soldiers he sent out.
Then it was useless to rely on threats next, he scolded angrily and shouted: "Little guys, copy the guys!" Slaughter them all for Lao Tzu! Rush into the village and kill them without leaving them behind! Kill! ”
Under his command, those rebels roared wildly, picked up their guys, and began to march forward in formation, pressing straight towards these township soldiers in Xishan Village.
At first, the rebels did not move quickly, and the armored ones walked in front of the line, and a total of a horizontal column of about forty or fifty meters was listed, keeping a certain distance from each other, and the column was about ten people, and the formation was relatively sparse.
Obviously, these rebels are very experienced in dealing with the birds, and they are not huddled together to reduce the damage caused by the salvo of birds.
The rebels did not move fast at first, but as the distance between the two sides narrowed, they began to quicken their pace, and the footsteps of hundreds of people formed in a row, stepping on the solid snow on the ground, and the snow or ice creaked under their feet, reaching the ears of the people, and making some inexperienced people feel the hair in their hearts.
But the people on the side of Xishan Village didn't seem to react at all, and just watched indifferently as the rebel formation pushed towards them.
The current company of the sea wolf, the main standard company is almost all equipped with flintlock guns, and almost all of them are equipped with Nanji-style rifles, and the elite companies have basically begun to replace the wolf tooth rifles in large numbers, and this time these forward personnel sent by Yu Xiaotian are mostly equipped with wolf tooth rifles, after all, after they come here, they are far away from the rear base and have to face many threats.
So in order to make them stronger, when the General Staff sent these people, it can basically be said that they spared no expense and gave them the best things.
Therefore, more than half of the Sea Wolf infantry of these advance teams, including the soldiers of the Marine Soldier Company, used wolf tooth rifles, and in the face of such rebels, their firepower can be said to be unprecedentedly powerful.
Among the rebels, there are also a small number of soldiers, using three-eyed guns and bird guns, but this is not their main force, their main long-range firepower is still based on cold weapons such as bows and arrows.
These rebels are also quite experienced, so let the armored soldiers put them in the front row first, ready to use them to resist the first round of fire from these villagers in Xishan Village, while the archers followed closely behind the armored soldiers, ready to push over, and after entering the range of their bow and arrow limit, they immediately crossed the armored soldiers and fired at the villagers in Xishan Village.
As long as they can withstand the first round of musket fire from the villagers of Xishan Village, then their archers will play a very strong role, and they only need one round of fire, and in their opinion, they can easily shoot these pretentious villagers into a piece and disrupt their formation.
After all, a village soldier is a country soldier! As long as a few people are shot and killed, it is estimated that they should be messed up immediately, and they must be in a hurry, and it is too late to reload and launch again.
Then the guy surnamed Wan thought that it was time for them to perform, and when the time came, his men would swarm up, and those village soldiers with bird guns, under his battle-hardened men, would be scum at all, and they could only be slaughtered by them when the time came.
Therefore, although these "village soldiers" in Xishan Village on the opposite side held a lot of "bird guns", this surnamed Wan did not feel too nervous, and personally led his 30 or so horseback soldiers in the back, pressed the battle behind, maintained the rhythm of advance, and began to press towards Xishan Village.
Wu Shengtian's face was full of disdainful sneers, standing on the far left side of the queue, coldly watching the rebels push towards them, and said coldly: "Three stage strikes!" Get ready to shoot in three rows! ”
A company of Seawolf infantry is about 250 men, and there are about 220 men with muskets in the men, grooms, ambulances, trumpeters, drummers, and officers of each platoon, and about 220 soldiers armed with muskets.
The three-stage strike is divided into three lines, each row is about 70 people, and the horizontal line is about 50 meters, and the width of the queue on both sides is about the same, so no one suffers.
With Wu Shengtian's order, the sea wolf soldiers immediately quickly adjusted the queue and divided it into three rows before and after the cheers of the platoon commanders.
Wu Shengtian didn't even twist his head, he didn't even look at the subordinates on his side changing queues, he kept staring at the rebels, and silently calculated the distance between the rebels and them in his heart.
(The mood is very complicated today, the good thing is that another chrysanthemum bursts, and the bad thing is that my baby daughter had a fever for the first time in her life yesterday today, and she hung water!) Lost water three times in one day and one night! The little guy howled and cried, almost not making my dad cry on the spot! I feel sorry to death! I'm going to continue to deliver water today! Poor thing! In addition, thank you for the continuous reward of the Eagle Warrior Brothers, is this to kill me? Hehe! Thank you so much! )
