Chapter Seventy-Nine: Reinforcements Arrive
Then Wu Yunlin shouted: "All the musketeers, divided into three groups, implement the three-stage shooting technique, listen to my orders!" Hearing the commander's order, the musketeers were instantly ready to shoot, and they all stood still, raised their muskets, and aimed at the opposing enemy. The best range of the bow and arrow is about 70 meters, the bow and arrow shot at this distance is powerful, and the accuracy is not bad, Wu Yunlin decided to put the enemy closer and then fight in order to increase the power and accuracy of the musket.
The bandits moved forward, seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the officers and soldiers, and they were almost within the range of the enemy's birds, but for some reason the enemy did not shoot for a long time.
Lao Wu didn't have time to think about why the enemy didn't shoot for a long time, so he just cared about hurrying his horses and urging his men to move forward quickly, as long as they rushed into the enemy formation, the opponent's soldiers could only be slashed and killed at will by the archers on the other side.
Seeing that the enemy army had approached a distance of 100 meters, Wu Yunlin shouted: "Shoot!" In an instant, a burst of muskets rang out, and dozens of the bandits who rushed to the front fell, and the fallen people seriously hindered the movement of those behind, and five or six archers had already tripped over the fallen ones.
The fifth leopard shouted: "Hurry up, don't wait for them to load gunpowder, rush up and cut them!" ”
Before the words were finished, another burst of muskets rang out, and the bandits who rushed to the front fell again.
The fifth elder of the Diamond Mountain Leopard was taken aback, he didn't expect the enemy's musket to fire so fast, and before he had time to react, in a few breaths, Wu Yunlin's musketeers had already fired six rounds of shooting, and the more than 1,000 bandits who rushed to the front were unable to raise their heads by the continuous muskets, and they had already lost most of them.
Wu Yunlin stood in the middle of the army, his eyes were firm, his momentum was like a mountain, motionless, seeing that the bandits were gradually killed, and he was about to enter within 100 meters, Wu Yunlin suddenly gave an order, and the big shield and spearmen at the front suddenly moved quickly to the left and right at the same time, instantly revealing the ten cannons hidden behind the team. Wu Yunlin carried all the ten iron cannons at the head of Zunyi City from the city head, placed them on the base, pushed by the gunners, and hid in the ranks of the musketeers.
Wu Yunlin led the army to kill the bandits on the opposite side with great momentum, and Zhang Tiande's troops have always fought with officers and soldiers in the field, and they have never lost, and they have a great psychological advantage.
The second and third saw that the officers and soldiers suddenly dispersed on both sides, and thought that the officers and soldiers were afraid that they would start to flee, laughing, and continued to speed up their horses, leading their subordinates to rush forward, like a terrifying black whirlwind, and finally advanced to a hundred meters in front of the officers and soldiers, and the first row of archers had already bent their bows and arrows, just waiting for the order of the commander, they would cast strong bows and slaughter the enemy!
But soon they spotted the artillery group at the back of the ranks, and immediately fear filled his heart like a heavy boulder, and he hurriedly shouted: "Quick! Hurry back! ”
But it was too late, Wu Yunlin gave an order, the gunners lit the arquebus, the cannons roared in unison, and countless scattered bullets rushed towards the bandit group like deadly flying locusts. In an instant, the hunter became the prey, the prey became the hunter, and at a close distance of less than a hundred meters, ten cannons fired in unison.
The second and third children only saw that the sky was full of missiles that seemed to be enemies, and dozens of steel projectiles hit his body at the same time, tearing his tall and strong body into countless pieces of minced flesh in an instant...... The bandits who were gathered became the best targets for artillery. After the projectiles flew by, only seven or eight hundred of the 2,500 bandits who had been in the black pressure were left, and all of them were smashed into pieces by scattered bullets, and the sky was full of splatters of blood and broken limbs of unknown people.
The third rushed to the front, and now it has become a pile of indistinguishable meat residue, the second child has a big hole in his chest, and he has already fallen off the horse at this moment, without breathing, and the rest of the bandits who are lucky to be alive are all on the spot for a while, at a loss.
The power of artillery is terrifying! The battlefield was silent for a while, only the bleak autumn wind blew, blowing an extremely strong smell of blood to all sides of the battlefield. Seeing that the enemy army had suffered heavy losses, Wu Yunlin shouted: "Beat the marching drum, the whole army, assault!" The black flag flew fiercely, exuding a strong killing atmosphere, and the fierce and majestic marching drum sounded in an instant, Wu Yunlin took the lead, brandished a Miao knife, led his hands, rushed forward, and launched a bloody killing of the remaining bandits.
Wu Yunlin rode on a horse, holding a Miao knife, majestic and majestic, personally impacting the enemy formation, and the soldiers saw the commander charging in person, and their morale was greatly boosted.
At this moment, the bandits on the opposite side were still indulging in an incredible shock, motionless, and did not react at all, until the officers and soldiers slashed with knives and shots, and killed another three or four hundred people, and the bandits finally reacted.
The bandits woke up like a dream, turned their horses' heads one after another, and did not want to be invincible in any field battle, so they ran backwards desperately, just wanting to stay away from this group of terrifying officers and soldiers.
Zhang Tiande's brain was blank, standing on the spot, motionless, the guards around him shouted desperately for a long time before he finally came to his senses. After waking up, Zhang Tiande didn't say a word, turned around and got on the horse, and whipped the horsewhip a few times, the horse was in pain, and galloped wildly, Zhang Tiande was alone, under the cracked heart and gall, he left the camp and fled north, and his subordinates also fled with Zhang Tiande when they saw this.
The fifth leopard in the mountain saw clearly on the side, seeing that the elite of the bandits was instantly wiped out by the officers and soldiers, and then Zhang Tiande Baylor fled alone, his soul was scattered, and he saw that the officers and soldiers had already killed him, so he also fled on horseback, and fled to the north in a panic with his subordinates.
Ren San was holding a long knife and covered in blood, he didn't know how many bandits he had killed, and he didn't know how many injuries he had suffered, he only knew that the comrades-in-arms around him had fallen down one by one.
A bandit archer rode his horse and rushed towards him, and when he came to him, he raised his spear and stabbed him, and Ren San, a lazy donkey, rolled and passed under the belly of the opponent's horse, and at the same time slashed on the horse's belly with a knife, and the horse stood up violently under the pain, and immediately lifted the bandit knight off the horse.
This bandit knight is also vigorous, rolled on the ground and then got up, raised his gun and stabbed at Ren San, Ren San killed for a long time, and his strength was almost exhausted, and he turned to the left side, but his strength was exhausted, and he did not dodge all of them, and was stabbed in the thigh by this bandit man's shot.
Ren San endured the severe pain, grabbed the gun with his left hand, and waved the knife with his right hand, the bandit wanted to withdraw the gun, but he didn't pull it, and he was cut off by Ren Sanyi's head, and the blood in his chest sprayed Ren San's face, after killing the enemy, exhausted, Ren San only felt dizzy, wiped his face hard, looked left and right, and looked at people fighting, but he didn't know which was his own person and which was the enemy.
Ren San shook his head hard to sober himself up, and then he saw Wu Yunlin, holding a Miao knife, with more than a dozen people, riding a horse to rush left and right in the army, and his body was also stained with blood, I don't know if it was his blood, or the blood of the enemy, Ren San gritted his teeth, and with his left hand, he pulled out the tip of the gun that was stuck in his thigh, and under a sharp pain, he only felt that the world was spinning, and he was dazed, and he fell. Before he fell to the ground, he thought with his only remaining thoughts, he had killed a lot of bandits today, and this life was enough, and the silver had been given to Yueniang, hoping that she could live safely with her child.
Ren San thought about it, and as soon as his eyes went dark, he lost consciousness. Not far from Ren San, Wu Yunlin led people to fight bravely among the bandits, he only felt that his body was getting heavier and heavier, and his hand holding the knife gradually began to tremble, it seemed that his physical strength was about to run out, Wu Yunlin thought like this, looking at more and more enemies around him, it seemed that he was going to die here today, at this time, the war horse under his crotch suddenly lost his front hoof, and he fell down.
Wu Yunlin stood up with a Miao knife, the veterans behind him, there were more than forty people at first, and now there are only seven or eight people left, he looked at these brothers who followed him, and said: "Our task has not been completed, let's find where the cannon is and blow it up." ”
As soon as the words fell, suddenly a soldier pointed ahead and shouted happily: "My lord, look, where are the reinforcements coming!" ”
Wu Yunlin then heard the sound of horses' hooves like thunder in the distance, and after a while, a team of Qing archers entered the battle group, and saw the bandits swinging their knives and slashing. The number of officers and soldiers in this group is about 5,000 people, the first middle-aged general, armed with a spear, rushing left and right, brave and brave, the bandits have already spent a lot of strength in the battle with the daredevils, where can the enemy this new group of officers and soldiers fresh force, seeing that the situation is not good, everyone began to gather their bandits, turned the horse's head, and fled in the direction that Zhang Tiande left.
Seeing that the enemy army was fleeing, the officers and soldiers did not chase after him, he looked at Wu Yunlin and the second stunned, and said: "This general Zuoyou, on the order of the governor, came to rescue Lord Wu, did you break through?" Where is Kure-sama? Wu Yunlin was exhausted, but he still stepped forward and said: "This general, a certain is Wu Yunlin of Zunyi Zhixian County." ”
Zuo You said in surprise: "You can still charge and kill the enemy as a civil official?" ”
Wu Yunlin told Zuo You about today's plan, and finally said: "At this moment, Zhao Kuo is leading the people to fight a bloody battle with the bandits, and I also ask the general to go to the rescue quickly." "Why did Zuo You appear here, all this has to start from a day ago, the Guiyang reinforcements who set off from Guiyang for half a month rushed to a twenty-mile away from Zunyi County a day ago, but they saw that the bandits were powerful, and they didn't dare to attack easily, so they watched the battlefield from a distance, looking for an opportunity to rescue Wu Yunlin. Today, Zuo You listened to the report from his subordinates that someone in Zunyi County broke through the siege, and the banner was the Wuzi banner, Zuo You's mind moved, and the whole army moved closer to Zunyi County and waited for the opportunity.
