Chapter 390: Brutal Massacre
"Stupid, do you think you can go back to Amizhou?" Sha Dingzhou scolded, "Do you think that the Guangxi wolf soldiers will stop after defeating Mengzizhou and stop fighting Amisizhou?" ”
"Husband? You dare to scold me. Wan Shi looked at Sha Dingzhou a little bewildered.
"What's wrong with scolding you, and then talking nonsense to disturb the morale of the army, believe it or not, I killed you? You stupid woman, poisonous woman and jealous woman, I've put up with you for a long time! You'd better be smart and get to know me! After scolding Wan's family, Sha Dingzhou called Li Rifang again, "Li Rifang, I treat you well on weekdays, right?" ”
"What is this called?" Li Rifang said in a panic, "You treat me, and our Li family's kindness is as heavy as a mountain, even if I, Li Rifang, give up my life, I can't repay the kindness of the general government." ”
"Okay, then it's time for you to repay me." Sha Dingzhou said in a deep voice.
"The Ming army's Hongyi cannon is indeed sharp, but they also made a fatal mistake, they shouldn't have pushed the Hongyi cannon so close to the city gate, which gave us a chance."
Li Rifang said: "General Mansion, do you mean to go out of the city to raid?" ”
"Yes, out of town for a raid." Sha Dingzhou said, "Blow up the Hongyi cannon!" ”
"Yes, don't worry!" Li Rifang said, "The last general will definitely blow up the Hongyi cannon!" ”
After speaking, Li Rifang began to gather the 3,000 elite soldiers under his command, preparing to go out of the city to raid the Ming army.
……
However, the Ming army had already taken precautions.
At the sound of the horn, a total of ten new troops with a total of 2,700 troops appeared behind the artillery positions.
As a result, the new army had just stood in line, and the east gate of Pingyi City suddenly opened, and a group of Yunnan native soldiers wearing armor shouted and came out of the city gate.
Almost at the same time, hundreds of ropes hung down from the walls.
Immediately, thousands of rebels stepped down the wall along the zipline, and these rebels were probably used to climbing over the mountains and mountains, and stepped down the wall with hemp ropes with both hands, almost as if they were walking on the ground.
In a matter of moments, at least 3,000 rebels were out of the city.
After leaving the city, there was no time to form a team, so they covered up the artillery position of the Ming army.
"Oh God, these brutes." Qu Shawei cursed and quickly stopped the shelling.
The 2,700 new troops lined up in the rear immediately marched forward to the beat of war drums, and quickly formed a three-row line formation before coming to the artillery position.
As soon as the formation was formed, the rebels were already covering up and killing all over the mountains.
Five hundred paces away, the fast rushing rebels did not even take three minutes.
In the blink of an eye, the rebels were within eighty paces.
……
Sha Dingzhou had high hopes for this counterattack.
Because the 3,000 native soldiers he handed over to Li Rifang were the elite of Amiszhou and Mengzi, equipped with all the same iron armor, iron bowl stomach, rattan brand and a Miao knife!
This level of equipment is absolutely the top in Yunnan.
Except for Mu Tianbo, the de facto king of Yunnan, who can provide better equipment for his family, other Yunnan Tusi simply cannot equip such an army.
Most of the Yunnan toasts can only get red rattan nails.
Sha Dingzhou only equipped these 3,000 elites with iron armor.
The rest of the soldiers can only be equipped with Red Rattan Armor, Red Rattan Helmet, and Red Rattan Cards.
So Sha Dingzhou really let it out this time, and even took out the most elite 3,000 elite soldiers.
It was also because these 3,000 elite soldiers were well equipped that Sha Dingzhou had high hopes for this raid.
After Li Rifang led 3,000 elite soldiers to launch a surprise attack on the Ming army, Sha Dingzhou also had the courage to return to the city, mainly to witness the process of Li Rifang's destruction of the Hongyi cannon.
Seeing that the Ming musketeers in front of the Hongyi cannon were only wearing cloth armor, Sha Dingzhou couldn't help but be overjoyed.
The commander of the Ming army on the opposite side was so stupid that he only sent two or three thousand musketeers to protect the artillery battalion, and these musketeers were actually divided into three rows in front and back, isn't this looking for death?
Whether it's a Rummy Gun or a Bird Gun, it can be a hassle to reload.
In general, it is necessary to have six rows in front and rear to ensure uninterrupted firing.
It's just three rows, what happens next after playing three rows? Taking advantage of the brief moment when the firepower was interrupted, the three thousand elite soldiers of Amizhou and Mengzi had already reached the front.
Sha Dingzhou couldn't wait to see the tragic scene of the Ming officers and soldiers being cut to pieces.
At this time, the Tang guest, who was squatting next to Sha Dingzhou, suddenly whispered: "Strange, why are these Ming army musketeers so densely formed?" Aren't they afraid of going off? ”
"Huh?" Sha Dingzhou looked at it fixedly, only to find that the Ming army musketeers were really standing in a dense manner.
I saw that these Ming musketeers were almost close together, and they had to stand sideways so as not to affect their companions on the left and right, what was the situation?
Sha Dingzhou's heart suddenly swelled with unease.
At this time, 3,000 elite soldiers were already approaching within 30 steps of the Ming army.
It was also at this time that Sha Dingzhou suddenly realized that these Ming musketeers were extremely strange, completely different from the Ming musketeers they had seen before, these Ming musketeers were not only close to each other, but also more calm than the musketeers in Mufu, which was already thirty steps, and they didn't fire yet.
……
Xu Wuniu, who was standing in the first row, raised his eyes and could already clearly see the faces of the rebels, only to see that the rebels were painted with colorful pictures on their faces, and their mouths kept making strange screams, as if they were intimidating them.
However, Xu Wuniu's heart has no waves, experienced the battle with the Dabie Mountain Bandits and Yongshun native soldiers, Xu Wuniu has completely grown into a veteran, and at the same time deeply realized that for a soldier, calmness or composure is really crucial, the more calm you are, the greater the chance of survival.
"First row, raise your gun and aim!" Xu Yingwei, who was standing sideways in front of the team, shouted and raised a short gun.
The battlefield was noisy, and Xu Wuniu couldn't hear Xu Yingwei's shouting clearly, but he could see that Xu Yingwei had already raised his short gun, so he also raised the flintlock pistol in his hand and aimed at the rebels in front.
"Put!" Xu Yingwei roared and pulled the trigger hard, and the anvil of the short gun immediately rubbed out a string of sparks, and then there was a bang, and thirty steps ahead, a rebel fell to the ground on his back.
Xu Wuniu also pulled the trigger hard, and the gunfire rang out, and the rebels he was aiming at fell to the ground at once.
Killed another person, but Xu Wuniu had no waves in his heart, put away the flintlock pistol and retreated to the rear team, and then skillfully pulled out the paper shell bullet from the bullet bag, bit the tail end and poured a little gunpowder into the primer room first, and finally stuffed the remaining half of the gunpowder with the paper shell from the muzzle, and pressed it to the bottom of the chamber with a strip.
Then load the lead bullet, press it to the end with a bar, and then pull the trigger away with force.
The whole process of reloading was like a smooth process, and it took only a dozen seconds, by which time the third row of musketeers had just made up their way and had not yet finished firing.
Then there was another clatter.
"The first team, more and more!" Xu Yingwei raised his right hand high again.
Xu Wuniu held the flintlock pistol vertically with both hands, turned sideways and let the third team that had retreated in the past come forward to stand in the front row, and then pressed down the muzzle of the flintlock pistol and aimed at a rebel in front.
By this time, the rebels were within twenty paces.
Xu Wuniu could even clearly see the fierceness in the rebel's eyes.
In the past, even after experiencing the bandits in Dabie Mountain, Xu Wuniu could have mood swings, because this rebel's eyes were really scary, and his strange screams were too harsh.
But at this moment, Xu Wuniu's heart did not have any waves, just like a wooden man.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Xu Yingwei drop his right hand, and Xu Wuniu decisively pulled the trigger.
"Phew!" The flintlock pistol against his right chest shook violently, causing Xu Wuniu's right chest to ache faintly.
Looking forward again, I saw that there was already a hole in the chest of the rebel, but the rudimentary armor made of thin iron sheets could not stop the direct fire of the flintlock pistol at all.
The rebel's body slumped back, and then slowly fell to the ground.
There was no blood spilling, presumably the wound was wrapped in clothing.
But the rebels' eyes had become hollow, and they were no longer as fierce as they had just been.
killed another person, but Xu Wuniu still didn't make any waves in his heart, as if he had just killed a mosquito just now, and after putting the gun out, he raised the flintlock pistol, and retreated to the back row to start reloading again.
……
leveling the head of the acropolis, Sha Dingzhou's whole person was already stunned.
I saw the 3,000 elite soldiers of Amizhou and Mengzi rushing forward in rows, and row after row fell under the guns of the Ming army, and the elites in the back row continued to rush forward, but in the blink of an eye, they fell under the guns of the Ming army.
The distance between the two armies was obviously only thirty paces, but their own elite soldiers just couldn't rush through.
Occasionally, a few extraordinarily brave elite soldiers rushed to within ten steps, but before these elite soldiers could swing their swords, the Ming army musketeers in the back row suddenly threw out a black and unknown thing.
Then with a bang, these elite soldiers were also blown to the ground.
Seeing this, Sha Dingzhou's whole person was stunned, how could this be possible? How is this possible?
How could the muskets of the Ming musketeers be reloaded so quickly? Just three rows of rounds can be continuous? How much faster is this reload faster than the Bird Gun and the Rummy Gun?
Besides, why were the Ming musketeers so close?
Why were the Ming musketeers able to form such a dense rain of bullets?
And what are the explosives thrown by the Ming army in the back row? Why haven't you seen it?
In addition to the doubts, Sha Dingzhou was even more distressed and was about to suffocate, these three thousand elites were his caretakers, but just now, almost half of them had been buried, and most of the remaining half would not come back.
Thinking of this, Sha Dingzhou felt even more black in front of him, and this time he lost a lot.
However, even if you lose everything, you can't collect the troops, and you must kill the Hongyi artillery of the Ming army.
