Chapter 290: Cavalry vs. Musketeers

In the woods, Shi Xiaolei squatted behind a tree, holding the night vision device distributed by Li Chaosheng to senior generals, the moonlight is not very bright today, and it is not very conducive to cavalry combat, but Ma Shouying had to make the decision to attack Xuzhuang Town at night, because he got the news that Luo Rucai's thieves will enter Xuzhuang Town tomorrow morning, and then Xuzhuang Town's fat will be snatched away again.

Ma Shou is not so greedy for wealth, but the cavalry under his command don't do it, they need wealth, especially watching Luo Rucai and the Black Demon God Department make a windfall in Dali County, it is even more unbearable.

It is also a rebel army, why is it that people are full of gold, silver and jewelry, and they eat all-you-can-eat meat, but these noble cavalrymen have to starve, eat some bread to pass the time, we want to eat meat, we want to eat big fat!

This mood is very fierce in the army, but in fact it is also very normal, just like two college classmates in the same class and dormitory, usually have similar academic performance in all aspects, and no one is richer and more powerful than the other.

As a result, as soon as he graduated, a person made a fortune directly, eating a lot of meat, drinking a big bowl, his girlfriend was more beautiful than the other, and the other classmate had a monthly salary of 3,000.

With such a comparison, another classmate will definitely not be able to stand it, and will desperately move closer to this classmate.

Therefore, the cavalry protested, Ma Shouying as a leader could not meet the needs of his subordinates, he was not a qualified leader, and if he could not complete it, he would be abandoned by his subordinates, and then he would become a loner.

Therefore, Ma Shouying had no choice but to rush into Xuzhuang Town before Luo Rucai's army, rob Xuzhuang Town, and use the gold and silver treasures of Xuzhuang Town to meet the needs of his subordinates, so that his position as leader could last for a long time, and this army would not be scattered, and there would be no cohesion.

When the army marched, Ma Shou should inform the army, put the horse's mouth on the cage, and take off all the bells hanging on the horse's neck, and set off to Xuzhuang Town in a silent state.

"Battalion commander, battalion commander."

Shi Xiaolei was a little tired of looking, so he asked the adjutant to stare for a while, and then he turned around and squinted for a while, and at this moment, the adjutant took down the night vision device and hit Shi Xiaolei, Shi Xiaolei glanced at the adjutant, the adjutant pointed to the road, and then saw a huge cavalry team rushing towards this side in the dark.

Seeing this, Shi Xiaolei immediately came to his senses, and made a gesture to the adjutant, and the adjutant made an OK gesture to the person behind him at this time, this gesture was learned by Shi Xiaolei and Li Chaosheng, so he used it as a code word for the army, which means to be ready, and the meaning of being ready.

This distinction is mainly based on the context of the conversation, such as the other person stretching out an OK gesture first, which means asking, are you ready, or are you ready.

And when you give an OK gesture, you're ready.

Everything is ready, at this time, the army passed a little bit in front of him, and Li Chaomeng in front also saw the black shadow gradually approaching at this time, the food in Lantian County is very good, and there is almost meat so few people have night blindness, which is very helpful when fighting at night, especially the special brigade, their food standards are much better than the regular army, so the people in the special brigade have no night blindness.

At this time, followed by the faint moonlight, They saw the black cavalry in the distance, and everyone's blood suddenly began to boil, Deputy Captain Zhao San couldn't help but lick his chapped lips, this was his habit before fighting, and this lip must be moistened before every killing.

Li Chaomeng was also very excited at this time, waved his hand, and everyone pulled out their muskets, Li Chaomeng held his breath at this time, and waited for the cavalry to enter the ambush circle.

Ma Shouying was sitting on the horse at this time, surrounded by the generals of the army, and the generals he brought from Huihui, at this time the general looked at Ma Shouying and said: "General, you are about to get rich, why are you not happy." ”

Ma Shouying sighed when he heard this and said: "When we rebelled, it was because the Dog Emperor didn't let us eat enough and enslaved us every day, and the bandits and thieves caused us trouble, but I didn't expect that we would also go to trouble others today." ”

Ma Shouying said very stiffly, his voice was very cold, and when he heard this, the general sighed and said: "This can't be the boss, we rebelled just to eat." ”

"But we're already full."

Ma Shouying said, and the deputy general sighed when he heard this: "Yes, it is enough to eat, but more people are thinking about eating well now, we can restrain our brothers, but Luo Rucai, the Black God They don't restrain them at all, they have a bad head, we must follow, otherwise our brothers' hearts will be scattered." ”

Ma Shouying wanted to say something when he heard this, but finally sighed.

The general continued: "Boss, in fact, you don't have to be so entangled, our military discipline is already considered to be the best in the righteous army, and we will enter Xuzhuang Town this time, only kill the rich, not rob the poor, and we will never scrape the ground like Luo Rucai and the Black God." ”

Hearing this, Ma Shouying said: "Maybe, I don't know when, we became like this, originally we just wanted to survive." ”

Hearing this, the general said: "The boss whose goal is always changing, you can't expect everyone to be the same, everyone can survive, naturally ask for a better survival, and if you have food, you naturally want gold and silver treasures, isn't it natural?" ”

Ma Shouying sighed when he heard this, looked up and looked around, and suddenly Ma Shouying raised his hand, and the general was stunned and said, "What's the matter, boss?" ”

Ma Shouying said: "Something is wrong, why is it so quiet here?" ”

Hearing this, the general said, "Is it quiet? ”

After speaking, I continued to listen attentively, and there was indeed no cat meow or insect meow, which was unreasonable, and the village in front of me was as silent as if it was dead.

"Something is wrong, why don't you even bark at cats and dogs?"

The general muttered, and after hearing this, Ma Shouying glared and said, "Withdraw, withdraw quickly!" ”

The general also felt bad and wanted to shout, but Ma Shouying held down the general and said: "Don't shout, notify and withdraw secretly!" ”

The general nodded, and then whispered to the side: "There is an ambush to withdraw, pass it on." ”

Hearing this, the cavalry next to him was stunned, and then followed the person next to him: "There is an ambush and retreat, pass it on." ”

The speed of the cavalry team slowed down for a while, and when he saw this scene, the deputy said to Shi Xiaolei: "Something is wrong with the battalion commander, they will not find anything when their speed slows down!" ”

Hearing this, Shi Xiaolei said: "It should be that they noticed something, but it doesn't matter, they have already entered the ambush, but they haven't reached the predetermined position, and the special brigade is not easy to fight." ”

Hearing this, the deputy said, "What now?" ”

Shi Xiaolei directly took out the flintlock pistol and said: "Notify it, the rear army will cut off the back road and refuse to block the road." ”

Saying that, Shi Xiaolei took the lead in shooting, followed by the musketeers in ambush in the forest, and suddenly the gunshots rang out, crackling, and the fire splashed everywhere in the forest.

"It's not good, there is an ambush, retreat!"

Ma Shouying shouted, but at this moment, on the mountain road they came to just now, suddenly a dozen soldiers directly moved out of the prepared horse rejection and blocked the road, and at the same time, the trees in the forest were immediately blocked with ropes, and suddenly Ma Shouying and 1,000 cavalry were wrapped in it like a big bag.

Bang Bang Bang ......

A series of fierce gunshots, screams rang out, and the muskets shot out with marbles, and the hole in the person's body was a hole, and blood trickled out.

The horses could not withstand the shooting of such bullets, and a round of muskets came down, and at least more than 100 people were lost by men and horses.

At this time, Li Chaomeng, who was ambushed in the village, heard the sound of gunfire: "Why did you shoot before you reached the predetermined position?" ”

Hearing this, Zhao San said: "It should be an emergency." ”

Hearing this, Li Chaomeng said: "It seems that it is, but we can't let the musket team fight alone, the brothers will give me three hundred meters forward to shoot, and refuse to intercept the horse!" ”

Hearing this, the special brigade immediately reacted, watched the rejection of the horse come to the intersection in front of it and stopped it, followed closely by advancing 300 meters, and shooting.

"No, you can't just sit still and rush out!"

Ma Shouying shouted: "Brothers, rush with me and kill out!" ”

Saying that, he rushed forward on the horse, waving a spear in his hand, quite a kind of god blocking and killing God, and the Buddha blocking the momentum of the Buddha, the cavalry heard Ma Shouying's words, and suddenly widened their eyes, and followed Ma Shouying to rush forward.

But at this moment, a group of people suddenly came in front, and this group of people came with the cavalry on their horses, and when they arrived, they were shot with muskets, and they were popping~

The bullet was vented, Ma Shouying's horse was plugged in one photo, Ma Shouying was worthy of being a man on the horse, and when he saw the situation, he jumped behind the horse, blocked the bullet with the horse's body, and escaped with his life.

The rest of the cavalry did not rush up, at this time was hit by a rain of bullets, and immediately killed and wounded countless people, the combat effectiveness of the special brigade was very strong, after a long shot was finished, the spear was put down on the spot, and then took out two short guns to shoot at the enemy who rushed in.

Bang Bang Bang ......

A series of terrible gunshots rang out, and two hundred special brigades, two guns per person, and four hundred muskets fired at a short distance in the front, and in an instant, a group of cavalry was directly shot, and in just one round, more than 200 people and horses were killed.

Seeing the killing here, Shi Xiaolei said with a smile: "This is not to let the county zun see it, otherwise the county zun will be distressed to death, these are all very good war horses." ”

The deputy listened to Shi Xiaolei's words and said, "Then do we want to surrender?" ”

Shi Xiaolei heard this and said: "First beat their people until there are only a hundred left, and then say, in the face of five or six hundred cavalry to surrender, even if they surrender, do we dare to accept it?" ”

After hearing this, the deputy smiled: "That's what I said." ”

Shi Xiaolei said at this time: "Pay attention to changing ammunition, don't stop shooting in three stages, suppress them, suppress them!" ”

"Yes."

Hearing this, the soldiers of the firearms battalion began to shoot frantically in the forehead, and the three-stage shooting could ensure uninterrupted fire suppression, which was already a very advanced tactic in this era when flintlock muskets could only be fired single-shot.

The cavalry is actually very powerful, if this is in an open territory, the firearms battalion really can't beat these thousands of cavalry, even if the weapons of these thousands of cavalry are backward, but if they really don't want to die, if they charge against the four hundred firearms battalion, there will definitely be someone who can kill the front, if the cavalry is killed in the firearms battalion, it will be miserable.

The tide of battle can be reversed in an instant.

Of course, this refers to an encounter, where there is no shelter on the plain, if it is not an encounter, the firearms battalion will build fortifications in advance, and with the fortifications, the cavalry will also suffer heavy casualties against the firearms soldiers. ,

Of course, if the cavalry is also a firearms soldier, that is another concept, anyway, with firearms, the cavalry is no longer so invincible.

Xuzhuang Town is a road into the village, both sides of the road are full of woods, this forest belongs to the big landlord of Xuzhuang Town, the rich man, it is said that this is the wealth of the Wang family, no one is allowed to cut down the tree, who dares to cut the tree here, who is the life and death enemy of the rich man, this is the way to cut off people's wealth.

Therefore, although this forest occupies ten acres of fertile land in Xuzhuang Town, no one dares to say a word.

At the beginning, Shi Xiaolei and Li Chaomeng chose this place because they took a fancy to this woods, and we also said earlier that there are almost no mountains in Dali County, and it is difficult to catch cavalry in this kind of place.

Therefore, if you want to annihilate this obstructive cavalry, you must find a feng shui treasure, and finally they chose Xuzhuang Town, for which they specially fanned the spies in the righteous army to make Ma Shouying's cavalry greedy, and finally led to Xuzhuang Town step by step.

Then use this forest to make a natural pocket, the forest is blocked by ropes, and the road is blocked by horses, which is a simple pocket array.

In the pocket, the cavalry is a plaything, the cavalry that can't run, it's not even as good as the infantry, at this time it was surrounded by Shi Xiaolei and Li Chaomeng as a live target.

For a while, the horses turned on their backs, and the horses began to stumble in such a fierce gunfire as they began, and the cavalry began to lose control of the horses under their crotches, and the horses flew up and down, not listening to a word.

Soon a cavalryman was thrown off his horse's back, but before he could stand up, there were horses' hooves stepping down, one hoof came down, the bones were broken and the tendons were broken, and when two hooves went down, he could faint, three hooves, four hooves, and soon trampled people into flesh, which is the legendary horse stepping on the mud.

The battle situation was very tragic, and the rebel army had almost no power to fight back in the face of the Lantian all-firearms camp, especially in Lantian County, where the weapon was superior, and shamelessly used the ambush method, and they had no power to fight back.

The musket spews flames, each flame erupts, two iron pellets will be shot, the power of the double-barreled musket is vividly revealed at this time, Shi Xiaolei said to the deputy at this time: "Almost, go and order, each person shoots five more bullets, these five bullets are mainly to feel the performance of this gun, record it, go back to the firearms workshop The group of guys will come to ask, but don't forget that we also have the title of firearms experimental battalion, or if we serve those masters, there will be advanced muskets again, and they will not be issued to us." ”

Hearing this, the deputy said: "I understand the battalion commander, I will notify you to ensure that nothing goes wrong." ”

Hearing this, Shi Xiaolei said with great satisfaction: "Well, that's right, let's leave a few after five shots, leave a few for the special brigade, otherwise Brother Mengzi is so unwilling, and he will clean me up when the time comes, then he won't be able to do it." ”

Hearing this, the deputy couldn't help laughing, remembering the scene when the battalion commander asked Captain Li Chaomeng to clean up last time.
