Chapter 36: The Violent Battle in Hebei Town (2)

Li Fangfang, the commander of the second company, led the troops to line up on the left flank, and when she saw the Mongolian troops lined up about 200 meters away, the female company commander's eyebrows furrowed slightly. I saw that the Mongol army on the opposite side was about half cavalry and half infantry, and the layout of those infantry was the same as that of the infantry of the Great Song Dynasty. The neat pikemen held the position, and the horizontal troops between the positions were musketeers.

According to what Li Fangfang knew, only the Great Song army would be configured like this. The shooters of the other cold-weapon armies either formed a separate army and made various movements during the attack. Either the shooters were placed in the position, and the horizontal column was made up of pikemen and other hand-to-hand combat troops. If you don't look at the flag and equipment that are too far away from the Song army, Li Fangfang even suspects that the shadowy array on the opposite side is a Song army and not the Mongol army.

Almost simultaneously, artillery on both sides began to fire. At this time, the doubts in Li Fangfang's heart were finally dispelled a lot. The six bronze field guns of the Song army easily fired the ten-pound shell two hundred meters away, and the projectile flew into the Mongolian army's array, making the seemingly neat array appear a slight gap in an instant. The Mongolian artillery shells failed to fly two hundred meters away, and the Song army watched the shells fired by the Mongolian artillery desperately land in a safe place away from the Song army, bouncing, and finally had no result.

The supreme commander of the Mongolian army opposite the company commander Li Fangfang of the Red Turban Army was Hao Ren Wanhu, or Hao Ren Wangye. Every shell of the Song army caused at least one or more Mongol casualties, and the Mongol army formation was immediately filled with panic.

Lord Hao Ren immediately ordered, "The infantry retreats." The cavalry was dispatched to harass the Song army. ”

Receiving such an order, the Mongol infantry immediately began to retreat as if they had been granted amnesty. The cavalry urged their horses to begin to advance towards the rear of the Song army. Hao Ren Wanhu sat on a horse, and there were many alpacas galloping in his heart. It's just that after leaving Hebei for more than two years, the Song army has undergone tremendous changes. The artillery in the Mongol army has changed dramatically, and in Hao Renwanhu's opinion, the current Mongol army can be regarded as field artillery, and the cavalry of the Mongol tribes is simply not able to resist such firepower. After the majestic Mongolian artillery on the steppe faced the Song army, the ancestor of the artillery, it regained its weak and pitiful original appearance.

The infantry quickly retreated, and the Mongol cavalry began to circle around. Hao Ren Wanhu saw in the telescope that Song Jun did not seem to be affected at all. They were arrayed as if they had not seen the Mongol cavalry at all.

In fact, the Song army was not as good as it seemed, at least they ordered Li Fangfang, the commander of the second company, to take two platoons of troops to Zhujiazhuang to ask the first company commander Qin Mohuan to bring the troops back. Although the correspondent also brought back a series of news of the battle, the information was unknown. I only knew that Qin Mohuan's troops were in a labyrinth.

When the battalion commander heard the word labyrinth, his first thought was something that the troops had only seen during training. It was a conceptual thing, and the barrier made of reed rods seemed to be non-existent. All you need to do is leave a mark to make sure you don't get off the road. I didn't expect that kind of conceptual thing to really exist.

Li Fangfang had an impression of Qin Mohuan's martial arts, and among the captains of the Red Turban Army, Qin Mohuan was one of the few people who had really practiced martial arts. So in Qin Mohuan, Li Fangfang was very puzzled by the street fighting.

As soon as she arrived at the door of Zhujiazhuang, Li Fangfang asked her subordinates to get on the steel arm crossbow. Then the troops moved to the sidelines. This is what she received from her teacher after passing the labyrinth test. Just by walking on one side, you can complete trial and error as soon as possible.

As he was walking, someone suddenly shot an arrow from a corner in front of him. The arrow landed on a warrior's steel armor with only one sound. The soldiers of the Red Turban Army immediately looked over. Li Fangfang immediately returned an arrow to the location where the arrow was shot. The bolt whizzed into what looked like a normal break, and then vanished completely. It made Li Fangfang startled.

Slowly leaning over, Li Fangfang stabbed the vacancy with a spear, and the sound of the tip of the spear hitting the wood came from inside. If I looked closer, I saw that there were wooden planks inside the earthen wall. What looks like an inconspicuous breach is actually a carefully designed firing port.

"Blew it up with a grenade!" Li Fangfang said angrily. Although the voice was very intense, Li Fangfang was actually very uneasy in her heart. If Zhujiazhuang is full of such shooting ports, it will be too terrible.

The hidden place of "Boom" was not blown up as the Red Turban soldiers thought, but a puff of smoke and dust erupted from the breach. Everyone looked at each other, judging from the feeling under their feet, the location of the grenade explosion was underground. The hole where the shooter was hidden went straight underground.

Li Fangfang no longer underestimated in her heart. She felt a strong uneasiness, if the enemy was in such a situation, it would not be unusual for Qin Mohuan to be in a predicament.

After a hundred cautions, Li Fangfang led the two platoons to move forward. When passing through the door, an enemy will suddenly appear inside the door to attack the Red Turbans. Even the Red Turban Army was wearing steel armor, and they couldn't bear it after being smashed. The enemy is moving, and then flees into the 'courtyard' where there is no appearance.

Song Jun couldn't see anything after chasing in. If you search carefully, you will see the tunnels. At this time, it was already early summer, and the mouth of the black hole was full of earthy smell, moist and cold.

Li Fangfang didn't dare to chase down. God knows how many enemy troops are in ambush in the tunnels.

After walking for a while, I saw a collapsed earthen wall in front of me. Depending on the situation, the earthen wall containing a lot of hemp at the time of its production was just toppled down. Because it contains a lot of hemp, the wall does not break, but cuts off the passage to advance. Li Fangfang lowered her head to observe, and the traces on the ground proved that there were many Red Turban soldiers wearing military boots passing through the street, and the earthen wall fell after the Red Turban Army troops passed.

Raising her head, Li Fangfang shouted: "Explode this wall!" ”

"How do you fry it?" Li Fangfang's subordinates were confused. Walls are meant to exist, and they never had the idea of blowing up a wall in their concept.

"Tie a couple of grenades together and blow this wall apart." Li Fangfang said viciously. This was annoyed in her heart, how could such a simple matter be so difficult to communicate with the troops. At this time, Li Fangfang completely forgot that her knowledge was learned from the teaching team when she was in the teaching team.

Li Fangfang's subordinates were obviously not as stupid as Li Fangfang thought, and with a clear statement, someone immediately understood. There were brothers who used axes to cut a hole in the wall, and several grenades were tied together and stuffed into the hole. Everyone backs away, and the grenadier lights the fuse and runs away.

Not long after, with a loud boom, smoke billowed from the streets. By the time the smoke had settled, the earthen wall that had cut off the road had been blown open. Everyone covered their mouths and noses and squinted their eyes and leaned over, but they saw that there were many corpses on the other side of the earthen wall, some of which were still wearing red scarf army armor. It can be seen that Qin Mohuan's troops once tried to recapture the road after being cut off from the back road. Zhujiazhuang's armed forces effectively stopped Qin Mohuan's efforts.

After advancing for a while, I saw a lot of figures in front of me. Seeing Li Fangfang's team coming, they quickly disappeared into the nearby courtyard. Li Fangfang didn't dare to give the order to catch up, but just continued to move forward. saw some flashes of armor in front of him, so Li Fangfang shouted: "Is the team of Company Commander Qin on the other side?" ”

"Who are you?" The other side responded.

Li Fangfang felt that the voice was somewhat familiar, but it was not Qin Mohuan's accent. If you think about it, although I have heard this accent, I can't remember who it is. Li Fangfang was uneasy in her heart, so she simply ordered, "Grenadier, throw a grenade over." ”

The grenadier was puzzled and hurriedly asked: "The armor on the opposite side should be the troops of the Red Turban Army, wouldn't throwing a grenade blow up your own people." ”

As soon as she said this, Li Fangfang suddenly realized, she shouted: "They are wearing a scarlet armor, where is there a scarf in our Red Turban Army!" ”

The grenadier thought about it for a moment, and it suddenly dawned on him. The current Red Turban Army is composed of two parts, one is the troops that were directly subordinate to the Great Song Dynasty at the beginning, such as the troops led by Li Fangfang, who used steel armor from the beginning. Later, the troops who joined like Qin Mohuan were all dressed in steel armor. The carapace has been completely eliminated.

Thinking about this joint, the grenadier immediately threw a couple of grenades over. After a few loud bangs, there was no more movement. Li Fangfang led the troops to touch it carefully, but saw several people on the ground, one of whom was wearing a scab armor. Looking at the past, it is obviously not the current Red Turban Army, it is obviously the armed forces that were once subordinate to the Red Turban Army.

The troops continued to move forward and walked for another while, but they heard someone in front of them shouting: "Don't go any further, which unit are you from?" ”

"We're in the second company!" Li Fangfang shouted here.

"What's today's password?" The other side continued to shout.

"Chicken ribs!" Li Fangfang shouted.

"Broth!" The people in front also shouted.

That's right. Li Fangfang sent someone over. It didn't take long to see Qin Mo running over with Binghuan. After seeing Li Fangfang, Qin Mohuan hurriedly asked, "How did you kill in?" ”

"We blew up the earthen walls in the street and killed them."

"Are there any enemies over there?"

"If you have it, don't be afraid, just blow them up!" Li Fangfang replied.

"Good!" Qin Mohuan replied viciously.

Soon, the teams on both sides joined forces. When Li Fangfang saw it, she was shocked in her heart. Qin Mohuan's team only had about thirty people left, and there were six platoons in a company, and the total number was almost seventy. Thirty or so people meant that Qin Mohuan had lost half of his personnel.

With the full-body steel armor of the Red Turban Army, there is a good steel arm crossbow, and it is well-trained. A simple cold weapon battle is a battle of 1,000 people, and I am afraid that there will be less than 20 deaths. Thirty casualties are already staggering. At least Qin Mohuan's troops had already lost half of them.

"Withdraw!" Li Fangfang led the troops to open the way.
