Standing in the army, Xu Ping turned his head to look around, and the five hundred pikemen on the westernmost side had also retreated to his side. At this time, the rebels on the western mountain also jumped out of the wooden wall and rushed towards the Ming army.

"Line up in a phalanx-" The rebels who rushed down from Dongshan had already stepped on the official road, and Xu Ping retreated to the spear forest: "The firecrackers are free to shoot!" ”

The spearmen of the 600 Ming army formed a column in a thousand corps, lined up in five small phalanxes, leaving only a small gap between each phalanx for their own musketeers to enter.

With the swing of the flag, the fruit leaders of the Evergreen Battalion shouted loudly: "Put down the spear!" ”

"Kill!"

The well-trained Ming army responded with a short shout in unison, and although there were only a few hundred people, the neat killing sound immediately suppressed the noisy rebel killing shouts. Countless spears poked out from the iron wall of armor, pointing straight at the raging traitors.

"Kill the officers and soldiers."

"Kill the officers and soldiers."

The Musketeer fired the last bullet at the approaching rebels, then dropped the Musket and drew his blade to hide within cover of the pikemen's brothers. The thousands of rebels who swarmed in, as if they didn't even see the thistles on the ground, still rushed over regardless of it. Xu Ping watched them step barefoot on the spikes scattered by the Ming army, and each of them had an expression of extreme pain on their faces, but they still struggled to run forward......

Shan Feng was one of the rebels who rushed to the front, and his neighbor, Wei Er, was supposed to be walking side by side with him, but the first volley of the Ming army knocked him down, and Shan Feng didn't look at his old friend. Just staring at the Ming army who was getting closer and closer in front of him, the soles of his feet - there was a heart-piercing pain, again and again. Shan Feng jumped in pain, accidentally slipped the soles of his feet, and threw himself on the ground, suddenly, the whole body seemed to be pierced by countless steel needles, and then, there was a heavy blow on the back, and the people behind him stepped on Shan Feng's back and jumped in front of him, on his legs and arms, as if there were countless pairs of feet stepping on, Shan Feng turned his full of resentment and endless pain into a sad cry and spit out loudly: "Kill the officers and soldiers!" ”

The thin columns of the Ming army, spears piercing back and forth in the air, swords shining in the sun, shouts and screams were endless.

The rebel infantry pressed in front of the Ming line, and as the Ming army began to stab neatly, the rebels fell in rows, bleeding in front of this iron wall.

"Nothing to do."

Xu Ping had already dropped his armor and coldly watched the rebels' death-sending behavior, and many dying rebels threw their firewood knives or sticks to the Ming army before they died. Xu Ping's armor was also smashed, causing his body to shake slightly.

The tide of battle soon stabilized. In peacetime training, the new army first attaches importance to formation, followed by weapons and protective equipment, so the rebels lack effective means of killing and killing the new army, which Xu Ping is well aware of. Looking at the feather arrows in front of him, Xu Ping couldn't help but think of the example of the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty that was often talked about in the teaching team. The Tang army was well-equipped from top to bottom, and many of the Li family's sons, nephews, and generals had the experience of being hit by dozens of arrows but unscathed; The army in Wagangzhai was poorly equipped, and even a leader like Li Mi was seriously wounded by a stray arrow on the battlefield twice.

Therefore, "the soldiers are strong and the armor is strong, and one breaks ten" is the golden rule that the new army is convinced of. The iron armor on Xu Ping and the other new officers and soldiers was brought from Fujian - according to Zhendonghou, only Min Tie could make the best protective gear, so the armor was made by the town of Funing. There have always been people in the DPRK and China who have used this to impeach Huangshi for abusing power for personal gain, but the Son of Heaven has kept all these impeachments in China.

"Kill the officers and soldiers."

More rebels rushed up to the Ming army, at this time Xu Ping was fighting fiercely on both sides, his body was shaken, Xu Ping's breastplate was hit by an arrow at close range, and some traitors actually ran to the range of the Ming army's spear to shoot arrows, almost at the same time as they opened their bows, they were stabbed to death by the Ming army on the spot.

"Kill the officers and soldiers."

After a rebel who ran with a hunting bow rushed to the front line, he suddenly found Xu Ping in the queue wearing brilliant armor, he immediately drew his bow and aimed at it, and shot an arrow fiercely. The arrow hit the gap in Xu Ping's shoulder armor, Xu Ping raised his hand to gently sweep the stuck feather arrow off, watched the rebel soldier be stabbed in the chest with a shot, dropped the bow to cover the wound and coughed and knelt down.

As the battle continued, the officers at all levels, who carefully controlled the army, constantly changed the tired front-row soldiers to the inner circle to catch their breath, and when they had regained some strength, they crossed back to their positions on the periphery and continued the battle. All the soldiers of the New Army strictly obeyed the orders of the officers, and carried out the rotation of the inner and outer circles with the steps that they had been familiar with since they were trained. The corpses of the rebels in front of the Ming army are getting more and more tired, and they have begun to affect the assassination of the Ming army.

"Kill the officers and soldiers."

"Kill the officers and soldiers."

"Kill the officers and soldiers."

……

Row after row, the rebel attacks seemed to be endless, and gradually, Xu Ping could no longer hear the Ming army's shouts of killing, and even their drums were overwhelmed by the never-ending rebel shouts.

Xu Ping saw a half-old child, holding a bow and rushing to the front of the battle, he tried his best to squeeze forward from the chaotic crowd, like other archers, the young man's attention was immediately attracted by the armor on Xu Ping's body, he pulled the bow in his hand with difficulty, his arm trembled and aimed at Xu Ping, and at the same time he shouted the last words of his short life:

"Kill the officers and soldiers!"

Many of the rebels in the front row were no longer young, and an old man threw the stone in his hand at Xu Ping, and he looked at the old man's thin arm in a daze, and even forgot to dodge.

"Kill the officers and soldiers!"

"Kill the officers and soldiers!"

Xu Ping's ears were already full of the shouts of the rebels, the alternating rotation of the Changqing battalion seemed to have slowed down a little, the Ming soldiers in the front row seemed to be tired, and the assassination movements began to become inaccurate, and even some rebels were able to dodge the spears of the Ming army and cut the sticks and kitchen knives in their hands to the iron armor of the Ming army.

I don't know how long it took, the pressure in front of him suddenly relaxed, and through the gap in the weapons waving in the sky, Xu Ping saw a red flag flashing in the south, and there were also bursts of drums. The rebels in the east are slowly retreating, and the rebels in the west are no longer ferocious. Xu Ping suddenly found himself in a daze, the rebels had stopped attacking, but the desperate cries of "Kill the officers and soldiers" still echoed in his helmet over and over again.

……

Wei Landu's Shanlan battalion was attacking the rebels from the flank, but their progress was not very fast, because the narrow road had been completely blocked by the two armies, and the Ming army could not spread out to form a wide front.

Taking a deep breath, Xu Ping woke up from his shock, he looked around, the staff officers and personal guards were also standing still like marble, although their faces were covered behind the tight masks, Xu Ping seemed to be able to see through the masks on their faces, and directly saw the blankness on the faces of these subordinates.

"Kill the officers and soldiers."

"Kill the officers and soldiers."

The shouts of the rebels are still coming sporadically, the officers and soldiers of the Evergreen Battalion, the weapons in their hands and the armor on their bodies are stained red by the blood of the rebels, facing the rebels who are slowly retreating, the soldiers are still motionless, maintaining the posture of holding guns against the enemy, the whole team is silent, and not a single officer gives orders.

Xu Ping, who was the first to recover from the shock, jumped in front of the eastern formation, he waved his sword in the air, and shouted: "Fire hand, get out of line!" ”

Then he pointed his sword in the direction of the rebels who were beginning to retreat: "Fireman, attack the enemy!" ”

After hearing Xu Ping's first shout, the bodies of the fire guns trembled, as if they had been awakened from their sleep. As Xu Ping's second command came, they also jumped out of their positions, pushed away the corpses of the rebels stacked in front of the formation, and began to aim at the retreating enemy.

The rebels resisted the attack of the Ming army on the official road and slowly retreated towards the wooden wall. The rebels were gradually forced back from the official road, and Xu Ping did not hesitate to order to cross the official road and continue the attack. After the first Ming soldier stepped onto the road, the rebels opposite Xu Ping suddenly shouted in unison and turned around and ran together.

Instead of immediately ordering a pursuit, Xu Ping first commanded the musketeers to drive the rebels in the east farther away, so as to relieve their worries and prepare for their subsequent U-turn attack on the rebels in the west. The rebels to the west, under the command of Horn, also retreated to their positions at this time. Xu Ping had the musketeers continue to suppress them to the west, forcing them to retreat and change their position so that most of the pikemen were facing east. He has already decided to work together to take Dongshan first and connect the three Ming armies together.

After all this was completed, the enemy in the east had already run a hundred meters away, and Wei Landu's men on the flank had also pressed up, and they were basically connected with Xu Ping's troops.

Xu Ping jumped in front of the army again, raised his sword high above his head, and shouted vigorously: "The whole army—"

Before the word "assault" could be shouted in his mouth, Xu Ping suddenly saw a neat group of soldiers standing behind the fleeing rebels on the opposite side. These soldiers in the distance looked completely different from the rebels in the past, and the moment he caught a glimpse of this neat queue, Xu Ping felt a strange feeling rise in his heart, and then he saw a puff of white smoke rising from the front of the rebel squad of soldiers.

"The rebels' musketers?" In a flash of light, this question flashed in Xu Ping's mind. It was the first time he had seen the rebels have their own firearms units. The Forces nouvelles had always believed that the rebels did not have the ability to produce their own guns, at least never heard of them. Even if the rebels captured some firearms, they didn't have many of them, and most of them were not easy to use—the Ming troops they had encountered before were all firearms that had cut corners from the Ministry of Industry. Coupled with their difficulty in replenishing gunpowder, firecrackers were never the standard equipment of the rebels, but only for their elite horses and rangers.

The group of rebels in front of them was not very numerous, it seemed that there were only a dozen or twenty people, but this was a real rebel independent firearms unit. Almost at the same time that Xu Ping heard the gunshot, he felt a heavy blow to his chest, as if an invisible fist was pounding on his body with the force of a giant. Before Xu Ping could react, his body was already crooked, and then he flipped and fell backwards, and the long sword came out of his hand.

Rolling in the air, Xu Ping fell heavily to the ground, hit his head on the ground, and suddenly there was darkness in front of him, followed by countless shining Venus. Xu Ping didn't feel pain, but he couldn't breathe at all, and his body seemed to be scattered by the giant's heavy punch. Xu Ping lay on the ground, his mouth wide open and he tried to inhale desperately, but he still couldn't breathe it in, he struggled to tear off his mask in the pain of suffocation, and the fresh air lingered between his lips and nose, but the internal organs that seemed to have been turned upside down could not get it.

Unable to hear anything, unable to see anything, Xu Ping used his strength to pump a trace of air into his lungs, and as this cool penetrated into his body, his vision also recovered, and his arms seemed to have strength. Xu Ping struggled to support half of his body, and was about to kneel up again, when his abdomen suddenly flipped over, he opened his mouth involuntarily, and spit out all the breakfast he ate today with a "wow". He was half on his knees and half on the ground, and kept spitting until all that was left was saliva, and his mouth was bitter, as if he had even vomited bile.

A few hands held Xu Ping's shoulders, and the person behind him called softly: "My lord", pulling Xu Ping up from the ground. Reluctantly flipping over and sitting on the ground, Xu Ping glanced down at his armor. The thickest part of the chest armor was hit, and the lead shot of the fire gun did not seem to be able to penetrate the iron plate, but this blow knocked the bulging cuirass deep inward, and the remaining impact force was also transmitted to Xu Ping through the armor, almost shattering his internal organs.

In front of them, the troops of the Shanlan battalion were spreading along the road, and they were attacking the eastern mountain. Xu Ping stretched out his hand with difficulty and pointed to Wei Landu's general flag, and gave his last order in this battle: "Our department is now under the command of General Wei. ”

After saying this, Xu Ping's eyes darkened again and he fainted.

……

His eyelids moved, Xu Ping woke up from his slumber, and the surprised voice of the guard immediately came from the side: "My lord, you can wake up." ”

Turning over from the bed and sitting up, Xu Ping found that his armor had been untied, and when he looked around, he found that the candles had been lit in the tent he was in, and there was a firelight from the crack in the tent door, it seemed that the sun had set, and he had been in a coma for a whole afternoon.

The military doctor in the house told Xu Ping that he had picked up a life. For the purpose of enhancing protection, the breastplate armor of the new army was made convex, and the angle of incidence of the rebel guncorpometer bullet that hit Xu Ping from a hundred meters away was obviously very biased, cutting through the arc of the plate armor, so his armor only assumed a force that caused the lead pellet to rebound. This force did not shatter Xu Ping's cuirass, but made it sink deeply, and the impact of this invagination was shared and cushioned by the leather armor vest lined inside.

With a few grunts in his mouth, Xu Ping was about to turn over and get out of bed, but this action made his chest suddenly hurt again. He grinned and stood up, feeling as if the bones in his limbs had been shattered, and the joints of his body were sore everywhere.
