Chapter 21 Unwilling to admit defeat
But some people soon began to understand, looking at the corpses lying on the ground in front of them, the blood that gathered into a stream under their feet, and the dirty blood on their faces, they couldn't help but vomit anymore, some even cried, and some laughed loudly.
At this time, some of the miscellaneous soldiers cried and some laughed, as if they were crazy, and when they saw the bandits retreat like a tide, they began to jump and jump and hug each other;
"Win! We won! The bandits have run away! Ha Lu Ha ...... Ha Lu Ha ...... Ha Lu Ha ...... The bandits are defeated! We can't die! ……”
Zhang Qian always watched the bandit retreat in defeat, the strength on his body seemed to be drained in an instant, his legs were weak, and he almost fell to the ground, if it weren't for the two pro-soldiers who held him in time, he would have fallen to the ground with an ironclad butt.
Just now, when the tide of countless bandits rushed towards them, although Zhang Qian was calm, he was still terrified to the extreme, he felt that he was going to die here today, he would definitely die here, and even he had begun to have a little hatred for Yu Xiaotian, if it wasn't for Yu Xiaotian forcing him to bring these miscellaneous soldiers into this place of death, he might not have died, and even his heart to scold his mother.
But this life is so wonderful, just when he felt that he was going to die, the situation suddenly reversed, and the bandits who were crowded around him collapsed in the blink of an eye and began to flee in all directions.
At this time, Mr. Zhang Qian came back to his senses, almost cried, held the knife in his hand, and asked the people around him tremblingly: "Did we win?" "To this day he still feels like a dream, he has an unrealistic feeling that he can't believe it's real.
"My lord! We won! The bandits are defeated! They fled! Several of his own soldiers surrounded him and shouted loudly with ecstasy on their faces.
Zhang Qian let out a long sigh of relief, let the two pro-soldiers stand up, threw away the single knife in his hand, found a stone and sat down, his two hands and two legs at this time, he was still trembling slightly, and suddenly he couldn't contain his laughter, and shouted: "Blackbeard's man is not Erer!" Well done brethren! Ha Lu Ha ......"
Blackbeard stood halfway up the mountain, looking at the battle situation below in a daze, obviously his people were two or three times more than the official army, he thought that this time it would definitely be like the previous deal with the official army, the ironclad success was done, but he never expected that such a result would be hit, he was angry and scolded, gave orders again and again, and beckoned his subordinates to gather and fight again.
Such an opportunity is really rare, once he misses this God-given opportunity, it is difficult for him to imagine that there is still a chance to defeat Yu Xiaotian's gang, although he also thinks highly of Yu Xiaotian, but he didn't expect Yu Xiaotian and his subordinates to be so powerful.
The fire guns that rang like banging beans below, and the smoke rising one by one, opened his eyes, and he had seen the firearms used by the officers and soldiers before, including some three-eyed guns and bird guns, but he had never seen this thing so powerful.
Obviously, it seemed that his subordinates were still far away from the official army array, but as soon as the fire flashed, he saw his minions being cut to the ground like cutting rice, and he couldn't figure out how the bird guns held by his subordinates surnamed Yu could hit so far and so ruthlessly?
But he had to admit that these generals led by Yu Xiaotian were indeed much more powerful than ordinary officers and soldiers, and he couldn't figure it out, how could Yu Xiaotian be a pirate, how could he still bring out so many subordinates who were still so capable on land.
Seeing that the first attack was so easily repelled by the officers and soldiers below, and his men were beaten all over the ground, this result was really unacceptable to him, so Blackbeard jumped to his feet and gave orders, telling those cronies to quickly gather the rout and prepare to launch a second attack.
So far, although he has suffered a lot of losses, it seems that the number of his men is still far more than the number of officers and troops led by Yu Xiaotian, and Blackbeard refuses to admit defeat, feeling that he still has the strength to fight.
So he beat the drums and waved the flag halfway up the mountain, and finally gathered the men who had retreated, and regrouped at the other end of the valley, and huddled together in a mess.
At this time, Yu Xiaotian led his troops to cross the miscellaneous soldiers led by Zhang Qianzong, and ordered Zhang Qianzong to clean up the battlefield in the back, with the idea of protecting the flanks on both sides, and found a small group of bandits, and sent people to disperse them, so he didn't have to worry about the rest of the matter.
When Zhang Qian and those miscellaneous soldiers heard this, they were all relieved, what they were most afraid of was that Yu Xiaotian was still using them as cannon fodder, letting them go up and consume those bandits, but to their surprise, Yu Xiaotian did not do this, but personally led his descendants to go up.
Thousands of bandits, under the pressure of the leaders' bullets, finally gathered at the other end of the valley again, this time Blackbeard sent out hundreds of his strongest fierce men, and placed them behind these thieves to supervise the battle, this time planning to have a showdown with Yu Xiaotian thoroughly.
When he saw that Yu Xiaotian only led half of the official army, and a team of less than 2,000 people greeted his thousands of subordinates, Blackbeard suddenly regained some confidence, in his opinion, it is still necessary to take advantage of the large number of people, even if the ambush is no longer an ambush now, but in such a terrain, there are several times more people under his command than his opponent, even if it is by relying on human lives, it can crush Yu Xiaotian's men and horses.
Even if Yu Xiaotian's people can fight, can they stand up to so many of his subordinates? The reason why his people were repulsed just now was that in his opinion, he was still unprepared that Yu Xiaotian's men were equipped with so many muskets, and now that his men were prepared, they should not be easily defeated.
So he ordered people to beat drums desperately on the mountainside, urging his subordinates to start rushing towards Yu Xiaotian's men and horses.
And the leaders of his subordinates, all of them turned pale, and they couldn't help but secretly curse Blackbeard in their hearts for being a bastard, this group of officers and soldiers is really powerful, since the sudden attack just now failed to crush them, now that the other party is prepared, is it possible to win the battle?
But if they don't want to do it, these people don't dare, because they all know Blackbeard's cruelty very well, and their families are now controlled by Blackbeard, if they put oil on the soles of their feet now, Blackbeard will definitely kill their family members afterwards, so even if they know that they can't please this time, they can only bite the bullet.
Fortunately, these people are Blackbeard's cronies, and they can hide behind to supervise the battle, and let those ordinary minions be pressed down as cannon fodder, so under Blackbeard's lifeless urging, they have to start yelling and scolding hard, whipping with scabbards, and forcing those minions to start pressing over.
Yu Xiaotian led his subordinates, maintained a phalanx formation, and also slowly advanced forward, he rode on horseback, looked up and glanced at the position of Blackbeard halfway up the mountain, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Originally, he thought that after defeating Blackbeard's ambush just now, this guy should accept the lesson and accept it when he saw it, but he didn't expect that this guy was actually greedy and insufficient, and he wanted to defeat him here in one fell swoop.
If you miss this village, I'm afraid there won't be so many good opportunities in the future, in the next few years, the most important thing for him is to use the bandits and pirates here to temper a strong army that can fight well, which is why he did not hesitate to consciously invite Ying, come here to suppress Blackbeard.
Just now, he almost ordered a signal for those men who had been ambushed here to kill Blackbeard, but when he found out that Blackbeard was desperately trying to gather his rout and try to fight again, he temporarily changed his mind and decided to fight again, completely defeating Blackbeard's gang.
Those Blackbeard's subordinates, gathered together like a swarm of headless flies, rushed from the other side of the valley to Yu Xiaotian's team again, Yu Xiaotian silently calculated the distance between the two sides, always maintained an unhurried speed, and led his troops to meet it slowly.
It wasn't until the forwards of the two sides narrowed the distance to nearly 100 paces that the bandits suddenly let out a wolf-like cry and began to rush towards the sea wolf tribe.
Only then did Yu Xiaotian raise his hand to stop the queue and continue to move forward, and opened the line on the spot, and the rows of musketeers stopped one after another, and began to line up in front of them, and began to reload their muskets in a hurry......
In the entire valley, the sound of shouting and killing shook the sky, rows of muskets rang out one after another, and pieces of gunpowder smoke continued to rise, and those black and oppressive bandits came like waves, and then they were cut down in the valley by the sea wolf's gun tactics one by one.
The whole valley was filled with the unpleasant smell of gunsmoke, mixed with a strong smell of blood, which made people sick, thousands of bandits, after nearly half an hour of death-like impact, but they were never able to rush to the front of the sea wolf's formation, in front of the sea wolf's dense rain of bullets, no matter how fierce they were, but they could only fall dozens of steps away from the front of the sea wolf formation.
At first, Blackbeard continued to beat the drums and urge the battle, but as more and more of his minions were cut down in the valley like rice by the sea wolves, Blackbeard gradually began to feel frightened, he had never seen such a battle, it was not a war at all, but a one-sided slaughter.
Speaking of which, there are quite a few of his men, but these two thousand of the sea wolf's men are like rocks, standing firmly in the middle of the valley, no matter how his men rush, but they do not move, but keep spitting flames, devouring the lives of his men.
In less than half an hour, the corpses of his men were almost half of the valley, and the remaining minions had long lost the courage to continue to move forward, even if the constant coercion of his cronies had no effect.
