Chapter 53: Midnight Scuffle

"Captain A, there's a fight over there!"

At this time, Liu Yan and the others had already rushed to the north of the salt drying field, and Wang Bo pointed to the chaotic salt drying field in front of him, shouting loudly.

"I saw it!"

Liu Yan was already extremely angry at this time, but he was unusually calm in his heart, and stopped everyone about a mile away from the salt drying field, and then said loudly: "Form a formation, form a formation and then go over!" ”

Wang Bo, Wang Yue, and Miao Shao, the three small flag officers, were panting and shouting at this time, and more than 100 dun troops quickly formed a formation under the command of the three small flag officers.

The five pikemen then stabbed the enemy in a half-moon shape relying on the sword and shield hand, and the five bird gunners were behind, and when a salvo was needed, the bird gunners would rush over the pikemen to the front to shoot, and when the enemy rushed to the front, they would retreat and let the pikemen meet the enemy.

This kind of formation was improved by Liu Yan with reference to Qi Jiguang's Mandarin Duck Formation, and the Dun Army of Dapanbao did not have special equipment such as Wolf Xian, but with equipment such as spears, bird guns, and swords and shields, it formed a combat formation similar to the Mandarin Duck Formation, and the combat power exerted was also very impressive.

Each flag had three such combat units, and the three flags were nine, and after all of them were unfurled, they pressed towards the salt drying field.

Soon, Liu Yan led his troops to rush into the salt field, and at this time, the entire salt field was already in chaos.

Liu Yan calmly observed the surroundings, only to see that Xu Ming was leading the soldiers who did not collect the flag at night to besiege a group of enemies, those enemies occupied the warehouse of the salt field, and were relying on the roof and window to release arrows, because of the fear of causing a fire, Xu Ming had to order the soldiers who did not collect the flag at night to dismount and fight, and the equipped bird guns did not dare to use them, and they all forcibly attacked under the cover of the sword and shield hand.

However, in the face of the enemy's bow and arrows, the soldiers who did not collect the flag at night could not rush forward, but were shot down by three dun soldiers, and they fell to the ground at this time and did not know whether they were alive or dead.

On the other side, Zhang Yi's Qidun army had already completed its formation and was fighting fiercely with the enemy's main force, and the two sides were attacking each other in the central area of the two salt ponds.

The main force of the enemy was more than forty people, and there were more than a dozen archers who could be seen, and the rate of fire was very fast.

Zhang Yi led his troops to return fire with a salvo of birds, although the two sides had no hand-to-hand contact, but they were also inseparable, and both sides suffered casualties.

At this time, the strong women and the old and weak men in the salt drying field all fled, some were hiding in some houses in the salt drying field, and some people had been poisoned, and the corpses of military households killed by the enemy could be seen everywhere.

Liu Yan immediately sent someone to Xu Ming to order: "Tell Xu Xiaoqi to withdraw immediately, and search around the salt field without collecting the flag at night, prevent possible reinforcements from the enemy, and block the enemy's retreat!" ”

"Yes!"

"Wang Xiaoqi, you immediately lead your troops to take over the night and don't collect the flag, immediately shoot the enemy with a bird gun, don't worry about the altar and jars, even if all the sea salt in the warehouse is burned, you must not let these bastards leave here alive!"

"Yes!"

Subsequently, Liu Yan led Wang Yue and Miao Shao to rush in the direction of the salt pool, preparing to converge with Zhang Yi's troops to encircle and annihilate the enemy's main force.

In the warehouse, a tall and sturdy man shouted angrily: "Sun Qian, this idiot, didn't he say that there will be no Dun army of Dapanbao on this side of the salt drying field?" Why are there still dozens of pier troops stationed here, and they still have birds! ”

Then, the man pointed to the retreating soldiers outside the window, and shouted loudly: "What's that, there are still dozens of horses in Dapan Fort, Sun Qian's strategy that has been planned for a long time in advance, why is Liu Yan still stationed so many men and horses here!" ”

Next to him, a man with a thin body, but a cruel look in his eyes and a scar on his face, said coldly: "Jia Jiaotou, I respect you as the head of the Xu family, so I have always been respectful to you." The current situation is very different from what my eldest brother expected, which no one wants to see. Since we have encountered hard bones, we can just work together to gnaw them off, and we can't tear each other down when the winner is not scored, right? ”

"Gnaw it off?"

Jia Jiaotou sneered and said: "I brought fifteen family members this time, and when I rushed in, seven people were shot and killed by the bird gunners of Dapan Fort, and I dare to say that the victory or defeat is not scored!" The second boss told me, how should we win this battle, have we been blocked here by those dun troops waiting for death? I still expect Sun Qian, who was crushed on the side of the big pool, to roll over and save his life! ”

In the face of Jia Jiaotou's questioning, the second master suddenly pulled out a dagger, and then hit Jia Jiaotou's chest like a leopard, and the sharp dagger also pressed against Jia Jiaotou's neck.

"If you dare to speak disrespectfully to my eldest brother, Lao Tzu will end up with you now, believe it or not!"

Jiaotou Jia also became angry and shouted loudly: "You dare! This is Wangjiazhuang, as long as I can't go back tonight, Mrs. Xu will definitely not let you thieves go! ”

"Truly, Old Lady Xu?"

The second master laughed and said, "Let's win this battle tonight, or you will all die!" ”

After speaking, the second master pushed hard, and didn't pay attention to Jia Jiaotou, who fell on his back, came to the window, and looked out carefully, only to see that dozens of dun soldiers had already formed a formation and leaned up, and more than a dozen birds were brushing together, and the mouth of the black hole was aimed at the window, as well as on the roof.

"Be careful!"

The second master shouted, and a roar sounded, and the window of the warehouse was dusted by the projectiles, and the two salters were shot without paying attention, and fell to the floor of the warehouse howling in pain.

The second master also saw two of his subordinates fall from the roof, and there was no movement directly, presumably he couldn't survive.

"Bastard! The archers release their arrows, those birds are slow to load, open their arrows and shoot them! ”

Outside, Wang Bo had already found several door panels, which were temporarily used as shields to block the enemy's arrows.

"Bang the door, bang it open!"

Wang Bo mobilized several pikemen to carry a log and began to rush towards the door of the storehouse, while the birdmen were also loaded, and concentrated their fire on the four remaining archers on the roof of the storehouse, and after a burst of fire, the four unobstructed archers were beaten into a sieve and fell to the ground like broken sacks.

There was only one door bolt that was not too thick at the door of the warehouse, and even if the second master and Jia Jiaotou blocked the door with some sea salt, but in the face of constant impact, it didn't take long for the door to collapse.

At this time, the second master and Jia Jiaotou were dumbfounded, but the two of them were not good after all, and at this time, they were also surging with blood, beckoning more than a dozen subordinates around them, and rushed out of the warehouse with a roar, wanting to fight hand-to-hand with the Dapan Fort Army.

However, as soon as the second master and Jia Jiaotou rushed out, they saw that the fifteen bird guns under Wang Bo had been filled, and with a roar, a black smoke rose up, and the fifteen bird guns fired a salvo at a distance of more than twenty steps, and the lethality was huge.

The second boss and his four subordinates were killed on the spot, and Jia Jiaotou was shot in the thigh and left shoulder, and fell to the ground in pain, constantly rolling. In addition, four members of the Xu family were killed, and the rest of the thieves were also frightened, standing in place and screaming in horror, not knowing whether to continue to charge or hide back in the warehouse.

Wang Bo shouted loudly: "Spearman, kill!" ”

The pikemen of one banner and three teams marched forward in formation, and the six sword and shield men also rushed forward, and the dunned army surrounded the remnants of the enemy and began hand-to-hand combat.

"I surrender, I surrender!"

As the first Yanding shouted in horror, the remaining few surviving Yanding also surrendered, and Wang Bo immediately ordered his subordinates to tie up these people, and together with the injured Jia Jiaotou, all of them were tied up and locked up in the warehouse, guarded by a team of dun troops.

"All the rest, follow me to support Captain A!"

At the same time, as Liu Yan led his troops to join the battle group, the situation began to become clear.

At this time, Sun Qian was leading his troops to fight fiercely with Zhang Yi's bannermen, and was suddenly attacked by the two banners led by Liu Yan.

Sun Qian was frightened when he saw this, and saw Liu Yan in the crowd at a glance, and roared angrily: "Liu Yan, I want to kill you, do you dare to duel with me!" ”

Liu Yan also saw Sun Qian along the voice, couldn't help sneering, and then shouted loudly: "You think this is the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and it's a fucking duel?" This is the battlefield, I have enough to eat and support the superior forces, I don't need it, run over and duel with you! ”

The surrounding Dun troops all laughed loudly, followed by a volley of birds, which almost killed Sun Qian's archers.

And Sun Qian looked at Liu Yan in the Dunjun array, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and he wanted to rush up and fight with him, but he was pulled by two of his subordinates.

"Big brother, let's go, we're defeated, it's too late if we don't leave!"

Sun Qian couldn't accept this fact, he had been planning hard for a long time, and he tried his best to get these bow and arrow blades from the white shopkeeper, but he was not Liu Yan's opponent, and he couldn't take this salt field under the surprise attack, it was really blind!

"Give me a charge, kill Liu Yan, and this battle can turn defeat into victory!"

At this time, the remaining twenty or so salt Ding were indeed brave, and in the face of a desperate situation, in the face of the bird gun in the hands of the Dapan Fort Army, they still had the courage to follow Sun Qian to charge, which really impressed Liu Yan.

However, Liu Yan would not show mercy to his subordinates, at this time Zhang Yi also led his troops to come over, Liu Yan concentrated Zhang Yi, Miao Shao, Wang Yue three banners of bird guns, and Wang Bo's two teams of bird guns who had just come to support, and gave Sun Qian a visual feast.

"Fire!"

Liu Yan slashed with a knife, and fifty-five bird guns fired at Sun Qian and his gang, who were only more than thirty steps away, at the same time, and instantly beat the salt Ding in front of him to the back, and almost all of the more than 20 Yan Ding fell to the ground, leaving only Sun Qian and the three Yan Ding staggering in place, supporting their bodies with knives and guns to prevent themselves from falling.

Liu Yan looked at the bloodied few people and said loudly: "Sun Qian, you lost, put down your weapons and surrender, I can still keep your whole body!" ”

Sun Qian laughed fiercely and said, "Liu Yan! At the beginning, I had the heart to join hands with you to run Haiyan, but you chose Chu Yunfei's soft egg, you really underestimated me, how could I swallow this breath. Today, my plan has not succeeded, so that the army has been defeated so far, this is my fate, there is only death, how can Lao Tzu surrender! ”

Liu Yan originally wanted to catch it alive and then send Sun Qian to Wangjiazhuang, but now it seems that it is a bit redundant, so he ordered the bird gun that had been reloaded to raise his gun, and prepared to kill Sun Qian and the others.

At this moment, Sun Qian laughed and said a little arrogantly: "Haha, you think that killing me is the end of the matter?" Liu Yan, you want to be beautiful! After I die, people will come to trouble you again, and I will wait for you underground! ”

Liu Yan frowned slightly, and said coldly: "Oh, is it? No matter who you are, as long as you dare to trouble me, there will be birds and spears waiting for you! I can kill you today, and tomorrow when someone else commits it, I will do the same! ”

After speaking, Liu Yan waved his right hand fiercely, and fifty-five bird gunners fired another volley, directly beating Sun Qian and several remnants of Yanding into a hornet's nest.
