Standing on a medium-sized merchant ship, Bai Yuzhu looked up at the cavalry team above the cliff, his brows furrowed tightly.

I thought that if I attacked a small broken county town, I could take it with a casual rush, but I didn't know that I would encounter artillery and explosives in turn on the river beach, and after sending troops around, I was defeated by other cavalry.

This time, it really caught him off guard.

"Damn, this little Heyang County, you have to sweep Lao Tzu's face, right?" Bai Yuzhu was furious: "I don't believe that you have so much gunpowder, you can blow up endlessly, you have to break your small dock today."

He instructed left and right: "Let everyone rest for a while, suppress the emotions caused by the wave of defeat just now, and when the morale is restored, rush again, the next wave of all the ships will rush to the dock together, and the boats behind don't need to dock, just use the boat in front as a pedal and rush directly to the shore." ”

The rogues responded and temporarily halted the attack, and the ships that had already rushed to the dock were now pulled back and retracted some upstream.

In other parts of the upper reaches of the Yellow River, it is almost impossible for boats to float on the river without being washed away, but there is a stomach-like backwater bay here, and this large number of boats can actually stop on the river to rest, and will only slowly drift downward, and after floating for a while, the boatman will row the boat back to its original place and stabilize it as long as he paddles a few times.

The two sides were on the shore and on the water for the time being.

Feng Jun frowned: "The thief dares to stop on the river so arrogantly and not leave, is it really to deceive no one in my official mansion?"

The white kite spread his hands: "There is really no one in the official mansion!" Shaanxi General Soldier Wang Chengen is in Beijing to serve the king.

Feng Jun smiled awkwardly: "Mr. Bai, since the thief is not leaving like this, he must be resting, waiting for the next attack, what about your artillery?" Take advantage of this opportunity to fire a few shots at them, so that they can't even rest properly.

The white kite spreads his hands: "The explosives pack is gone."

Feng Jun's nosebleed flowed silently: "How could it be?" The cannon has only been fired for a few shots and then there is no explosives? ”

White Kite: "The explosives bag was thrown out by the rabbits, and it was much faster to throw it than to open a cannon, and it was gone in a blink of an eye. ”

Feng Jun: "......"

It's quite embarrassing.

Feng Jun became nervous: "The next wave of the thief's attack, our side has no gunpowder, how can we resist it?" ”

The white kite glanced to the northwest and said with a smile: "The next wave, we don't need to block it." ”

Feng Jun: "?"

"The Gao family villagers, it's here!

The white kite laughed: "Lord Feng, let your militia withdraw and rest, and then see how Gaojia Village fights." ”

The Gaojia villager group arrived, led by a general, wearing mountain armor and covering his face, it was Cheng Xu, with 1,500 soldiers behind him, including 500 firecrackers, 200 grenadiers, and another 800 soldiers with traditional cold weapons.

Wang Er, this is the first time he has seen the real combat power of Gaojia Village, when he saw this scale, he was stunned, surprised, and at the same time happy, Gaojia Village is so strong?

As for Feng Jun, just one glance at this army made him feel his scalp tingle.

There are too many soldiers in armor and firearms, right?

If only a few people put on armor and carry firearms, it can also be understood that "the common people spontaneously prepare weapons in order to meet the rogues", which is an act of self-preservation, and the eyes of the court will pass, but the number is so large........

Feng Jun stretched out his hand and dipped his nosebleed, and he didn't know what to draw on his face, so he had to rub it casually and draw himself into a big flower face.

After finishing the painting, he gritted his teeth and ordered loudly: "Heyang County People's League, temporarily retreat and rest, and hand over the Qiachuan Wharf to the Gaojia Villagers for defense."

Cheng Xu approached, waved his hand, and there was no need to give any more orders, and the Gaojia villager group began to look for a suitable position for himself under the command of the captains of each hundred and 1 teams.

Instead of climbing high, the firecrackers formed a neat queue and assembled behind the wall.

Grenadiers and archers climbed the towers and walls.

Interestingly, the ten firecrackers who first used the three-god god system in Gaojia Village did not join the firecracker queue, but took ten birdshots and climbed the arrow tower with the archers.

Seeing this scene, the white kite was a little curious: "He Jiaoxi, those ten firecrackers don't enter the queue?" ”

Cheng Xu smiled: "They also use rifled firearms."

The white kite suddenly realized.

With rifling, the accuracy of the shot is very high, there is no need to mix in a queue with the smoothbore gunners to play in line and shoot, they can play freely like archers.

The white kite smiled: "After that, they have to form a battalion of their own, and they have to be given a new name." ”

Cheng Xu smiled: "Tianzun has already given them a good name, they are called stragglers." ”

White Kite: "Skirmishers? Isn't that what stragglers mean? That's a derogatory term. ”

Cheng Xu: "I also proposed it to Tianzun in the next, but Tianzun said that with the development of war methods, stragglers will no longer be a derogatory term in the future, and it will not be wrong to choose a name like this." ”

The white kite thought carefully and nodded: "Indeed, if all the guns are rifled, the problem of loading ammunition is solved, and the range of both the enemy and us is getting farther and farther, then the way of fighting will definitely be different from now, the big phalanx or something will become more and more stupid, and all the soldiers will become skirmishers." ”

Anyway, what Tianzun said must be right!

The white kite didn't bother with this problem anymore, but it was a little lonely, and ten stragglers came at once, so he, a master of "shooting" who could shoot the enemy's dog head with one shot at a distance of hundreds of steps, was not so showy.

Although the three words "limelight" do not belong to the six arts of the gentleman, the white kite is also very particular.

Cheng Xu climbed up the arrow tower, glanced at the river, and saw a lot of corpses lying on the river beach, so he knew what the situation was now, and said with a smile: "It seems that the thieves have attacked one wave and have been repelled by you, and now they are resting and accumulating strength to fight the second wave." ”

The white kite nodded: "Now that He Jiaoxi is here, this second wave will be lively." ”

Cheng Xu spread his hands with a smile: "Actually, I'm also a watcher." ”

White Kite: "? ”

Cheng Xu said: "Since I used a large number of firearms, I can only give an order before the war, after the war, I have no use, except for watching the show, I can't do anything, the soldiers are all fighting on their own in accordance with the steps of training." ”

White Kite: "..."

Cheng Xu smiled and pulled the white kite up to the arrow tower: "Come on, come on, Mr. Bai will also come up to watch the play together, let's fight a battle that doesn't need to be commanded." ”

The white kite took out the rifled bird gun: "Hmph, it's different in the bottom, even if you don't participate in the command, you can use the shooting to reinforce my soldiers in the bottom, I'm an all-rounder, an all-rounder, hahaha." ”

Wang Er also silently followed the arrow tower and looked ahead seriously.
