The officers and soldiers used it like a tide, and then retreated like a tide.

As fast as you go up, you can go back as fast as you can return.

In fact, the first round of arquebus fire was fired by the female soldiers on the opposite side, and some of the soldiers of the Ming army who rushed up fled back. Wait until round after round of musket volleys continue one after another, and more and more people escape. It's just that it's easy for this person to rush up, but it's hard to escape back, where has the person run bullets?

So I saw white smoke rising from the camp opposite, and the gunfire continued, and then I saw the soldiers fall to the ground one after another, and the corpses were incomplete. Due to its proximity, the arquebus is extremely efficient. Compared to the cold weapon duel, it will take a few rounds to fight, and the sound of the fire gun will kill people. is to watch the death of his companions in an instant, and no matter how high the morale is, it will collapse.

Xue Sancai and Governor Xue rarely went into battle to supervise the battle in person, and his spirit was high. As soon as he saw that his men and horses were fleeing back in an uproar, he hurriedly drew his sword and said angrily: "Stop, kill back, kill back, and those who violate the order will be killed!" ”

The first-class officials of the imperial court are like thunder, and the officials are majestic.

Xue Sancai's ability is not in fighting, but in this agitation and deployment ability. When he shouted loudly, he naturally had the power to follow. The scattered soldiers were like injecting a heart booster, and they couldn't help themselves to stop, and after a while, their hearts burned like fire, and they forgot their fears.

Governor Xue was majestic, and when he turned around, he shouted to the generals around him: "You personally lead the team to rush." If the soldiers turn back, you will cut them down. If you turn back, the ruler will cut you down. I know you, but I don't know you with my sword. ”

The chips are already on the table, how can you admit defeat so easily?

Xue Sancai is like a gambler with red eyes, and he will never give up easily. With his majesty, the generals under him, whether they are happy or not, have to go forward hard. After all, now that the power of the Ming Dynasty is still there, those who do not obey the order will inevitably be punished.

Cao Minglei, who fled back to the city yesterday, was also among the generals. He fought a defeated battle this time and fled back to Tianjin, he was already a defeated general, and if he wanted to clear his responsibility, he had to go forward desperately. The anti-thief camp on the opposite side only has only two or three thin arrays, which look like they can be broken as soon as they are poked. He also exerted his official authority to the extreme, and angrily shouted that his generals and guerrillas would come forward.

There were only more than 1,000 people in the Ming army, and there were thousands of officials and gentry and servants who were coerced. They roared again and turned around and killed, and there were even many generals' horse team members mixed in. This wave of offensive was larger than the previous one, and the officers and troops were more cunning.

Knowing that there was a hard bone to gnaw on the other side, the officers and soldiers naturally pushed the cannon fodder to the front. So in the open space of the official road outside the city, the vicious generals shouted and cursed the whole team, and the soldiers below also drove the young men in the city forward with swords and guns.

A bunch of officers and soldiers under the pressure of Ukraine went to the anti-thief camp, but this time they were much smarter. The flesh and blood killing field at the main gate of the camp was not easy to fight, and they divided a lot of troops to outflank the two wings of the camp.

A simple change of tactics immediately put a lot of pressure on the female soldiers stationed in the large camp. They took turns firing again, once again sending the onrushing officers and soldiers to the side, but they also watched as the enemy moved far away from their front and turned to the side and rear. The female soldiers, who were constantly reloading, couldn't help but start looking left and right, and finally their eyes converged on the battalion commander Chai Jie.

Chai Jie was also greatly inspired by his own battalion to resist the enemy's dense charge, but in the blink of an eye, he was powerless against the enemy's division of troops. There were only 500 female soldiers, and they could not hold a camp of 10,000. She had to turn her head to look at Yin Hu, who was following her, but Yin Hu's head was numb, thinking about where to transfer troops.

Just when Yin Hu was considering whether to divide the female soldiers into battle, bursts of shouts rang out in the camp, "Brothers, tie the officers and soldiers into strings!" ”

This battle cry sounded in the east and west, and I couldn't figure out who was shouting?

Yin Hu gasped and looked into the camp with his feet, only to see a large number of infantry armed with spears moving in a group. A number of unarmoured militiamen followed, volunteering to fight with spears in hand.

The bravery of the female soldiers gave great encouragement to everyone in the camp, and the sound of the guns dispelled the fear in the hearts of the soldiers in one fell swoop. When they found that they had to fight desperately at the critical moment of life and death, a large number of grassroots officers took the initiative to stand up and lead the soldiers to attack in formation. A sense of courage naturally rose in the hearts of the soldiers—could we be inferior to a group of women?

Gao Daniu, as the battalion commander, personally grabbed his big iron gun and stood in the queue. When the phoenix appeared, he also felt trepidation. But the strong survival instinct erupted in the sound of gunfire, which made him have a kind of unyielding heroism - the education of the revolutionary army is not to respect ghosts and gods, and don't be afraid when the king of heaven comes.

"Follow me, go and beat the officers and soldiers back." Gao Da Niu personally led a platoon and lined up from the side gate of the battalion. His platoon was mixed with a lot of militia. Although the latter only has a spear, his fighting spirit is not low and his morale is high.

The spear infantry formation came out of the camp, and it was when Xue San was ready to make a desperate bet. Under the influence of his official authority, the Ming army's chest was like fire, his eyes were red, and he slowly approached with a knife and axe. Thousands of people are chaotic, but they have the advantage in numbers. Facing the guards who came out, they subconsciously moved out of the front and surrounded them left and right.

"Assault, kill through the officers and soldiers with speed." Gao Da Niu stood in front of the queue, and the only one who could follow him out of the camp as fast as he could was a platoon, and there were many militiamen among them. Just when the light of the military formation was lit, the courage of all the soldiers in the team gathered to form a wall of fearless attacks. "Rush forward and let these idiots eat dust behind our ass."

As soon as the words fell, the infantry platoon commanded by Gao Da Niu began to run in small steps. And behind him, one after another improvised combination of spear infantry formations continued to emerge from the camp.

The Ming army that tried to outflank the encirclement left and right was like a big wave hitting a rock, shattering into a wave in an instant. They have the blessing of the official authority of the first rank of the imperial court, but they also maintain some morale. Just in the face of the spears that came one after another, the weapons in their hands seemed weak.

The tall bull grasped his pace and poked one step at a time. He was accompanied by a militiaman who did not wear armor, and he may not even know him, but he also used his spear to pull away the slashing blades of the officers and soldiers, and stabbed the spearhead into the enemy's chest.

As soon as the two sides fought, the Ming army knew how powerful this gang of thieves was. Even the unarmored militia on the other side are well fed and well-trained and have received a certain amount of training. Someone defends, someone attacks, and is able to work together. Not to mention a Guards officer like Gao Da Niu who has been in battle for many times and has incomparably rich experience in fighting. With a few shouts, he was able to bring in several infantry platoons around him to coordinate with each other.

Each round of stabbing in the spear formation can stab a few blood flowers in the enemy's ranks. Each attack was heroic and fearless, as if it was about to die with the enemy. And it is precisely because of the ferocity of this sacrifice that it has become the strongest defense. On the contrary, the enemy was beaten by them and retreated step by step, unable to form a stalemate, let alone effectively counterattack.

There were more and more corpses on the ground, but the situation that Gao Daniu expected to kill through the enemy line did not appear. There were too many officers and troops pouring up from the opposite side, wave after wave. His physical strength was still able to hold on, but the 'militia' beside him was out of breath after more than ten stabs. Listen carefully to the curses in his mouth, he was originally a recruited local migrant worker in Tianjin, not a militiaman.

There were more and more spear formations coming out of the battalion, but the Guards still suffered in terms of total strength. This time, Zhou Qingfeng also miscalculated, but he didn't expect Governor Xue to transfer out thousands of people in this madness.

When the blood is hot and the body is dry, and the breathing is heavy, the tall bull understands that he can't fight hard in the enemy position like this. The number of officers and soldiers on the opposite side was too much, and it was obvious that one team was defeated, but another team came from behind. Casualties among the Guards are also increasing.

Gao Da Niu was thinking about how to call the surrounding troops over to form a phalanx, when he heard the sound of dense horse hooves rumbling in the camp, and the group of cavalry finally came out.

The speed and impact of the cavalry were not comparable to the infantry, and as soon as the cavalry came on the field, they quickly swept away the enemy who had rushed to the rear of the Guards infantry, and inserted themselves into the flank of the Ming army for counter-encirclement. The gang leaned sideways, sabre in hand, and flew past the chaotic perimeter of the enemy at the speed of their horses.

Only a dozen cavalrymen came out first, but the seemingly light impact of these dozen people also pulled a blood line in the ranks of the Ming army. They peeled off a layer from the ranks of the Ming army like peeling an onion, and what was peeled off became a corpse on the ground.

A melee has been fought so far, and the forces of the two sides have been staggered and mixed with each other. But the rapid impact of these guards cavalry was still too fierce, forcing the Ming army to supervise the battle immediately several generals, each of whom made a big move to kill these anti-thief cavalry. It's just that the two sides are about to collide, and the guards cavalry immediately tacitly formed a row of riding walls, and the light of the military array suddenly lit up.

Among the generals of the Ming army who led the team was You Shiwei, the general soldier of Changping, who came with more than a dozen cronies and wielded an iron shovel. Behind him were several guerrilla commanders-in-chief, all of whom were well-known and surnamed officials. Looking at the bright armor and sharp blades of the anti-thief cavalry on the opposite side, they only came out as the general of the anti-thief.

General You pinched the horse's belly and sprinted quickly. When he got closer, he only felt that his side was tall and strong, and he couldn't help shouting, "A certain is You Shiwei, the chief soldier of Changping in the Ming Dynasty." Come to the general name, You does not kill the nameless ghost. ”

In order to shout this voice, General You even deliberately restrained his speed, so as not to open his mouth to pour wind. But the dozen or so guards cavalry on the opposite side were small in number but not afraid, and they still galloped with all their strength, doubling their strength. For a while, people were like tigers, horses were like dragons, and the military array slashed at them with a saber in coordination.

"How dare a thief?!" When I saw that the other side didn't follow the rules, I cut it without even saying hello. Mr. You raised the iron shovel angrily and smashed it.

The swords brushed against each other, and a Guards cavalryman and General You made a move. Both felt a heavy blow to their bodies and fell to the saddle in pain. Even with the protection provided by the military formation, the cuirass of this Guards cavalryman still sank into a large piece, and he vomited blood on the spot, and he couldn't see it alive.

And Mr. You is not comfortable. On the other side, with the help of the power of the military array, more than a dozen people hit him, and with a single slash, he split the armor of his dignified chief soldier. He felt the warmth of his waist and abdomen, and then it was hot, and a lot of blood flowed out of the wet, "Yes, this gang of thieves is so brave." The one who can fight me must be the anti-thief general, and I can't fight them hard. ”

As soon as General You turned his horse's head, he had to beckon his cronies to escort him back. But he looked left and right, only to find that in the round of the fight just now, half of the family members who followed him were cut off. The rest of them also looked frightened, looking frightened as if they had just returned from the ghost gate. Looking at the other generals, two were hacked to death on the spot.

"The thief is fierce, too fierce. This must be the anti-thief generals who have all run out. Let's go, let's go. "You Zongbing didn't say more, just rode his horse and ran. And when he turned around and ran for two or three hundred meters, he found that the front of the anti-thief camp was rumbling continuously, there were several more craters on the ground, and wooden shells were constantly falling.

The ballistae in the battalion had finally recovered, and interdicting fire was underway to prevent the enemy's forces from continuing to attack. General You opened his eyes and saw that the original location of Governor Xue had also been bombed, and the Governor did not know where to go. The officers and soldiers outside the east gate of the town were like ants scalded by boiling water, dying and struggling. In the anti-thief camp, there was a piercing suona sound, and it seemed that they were about to rush out and seize the city.
