Chapter 543: Guarding the Longmen Bridge
The subordinates of the eight kings of Xiying screamed and killed the common people.
Shi Jian's sweat flowed down again: "Quick, cross the bridge quickly." ”
The people were panicked just now, and now they are even more panicked, those who have already gone to the bridge are desperately running towards the west bridge, and those who have not yet been on the bridge are also desperately squeezing towards the bridge.
Shi Jian took four hundred people to these ordinary people, and his heart was flustered.
Fortunately, the subordinates of the eight kings of Xiying are all infantry, there is no cavalry, and they can't run fast, unlike the cavalry, who say that they want to protrude your face, and the next second they will already kick the horse's hooves in your face.
The infantry had to desperately throw up two hams and run forward, burning their side oil for fuel, even if the speed was full.
The common people are not much slower than them!
Soon, all the people ran onto the bridge, and Shi Jian shouted: "The firecrackers fire a volley, and then retreat to the bridge." ”
"Bumper bumper bumper!"
Two hundred muskets fired, they didn't use breech-loading rifles yet, they used rifled bird guns, the range was very good, they could fire a few hundred steps away, and the fastest rogue suddenly turned on his horse, and there was a panic: "Ah, the officers and soldiers have firearms." ”
"Damn, what's so strange about officers and soldiers having firearms?" Someone yelled, "It's strange that there is no firecracker, right? I'm afraid of a fart! There were only a few hundred firearms on the other side, rushing up. ”
The army of rogues continued to charge towards the bridgehead.
Shi Jianbu struck a blow and retreated towards the bridgehead, the common people had already run to the middle of the bridge at this time, Shi Jianbu retreated behind the sandbags piled up at the bridgehead, and the firecrackers hurriedly reloaded.
The rifled Birdgun reloads slowly!
Much slower than a smoothbore gun, let alone a breech-loading rifle.
The soldiers were in a hurry to reload, panicking to death.
Fortunately, they still have two hundred guards, and these guards are shooting at the thieves with bows and arrows, which can be regarded as a certain degree of firepower coverage, and it takes a little time for the firecrackers to be reloaded.
After the firecracker was loaded, he quickly raised the firearm again: "Bumper bumper!" ”
The troops at the front of the thieves were again on their backs.
But a large number of thieves continued to roll up from behind, straddle the corpses of their teammates, and rushed to the bridgehead.
There are too many thieves! Up to tens of thousands.
It was a dream to break their morale with only two hundred firearms.
Shi Jian turned his head and looked, and the people ran to the west of the bridge again.
He hurriedly beckoned his subordinates again: "Retreat, retreat, let's retreat." ”
The musketeers also retreated to the west with the common people, retreating from the sandbags at the head of the bridge to behind the sandbags at the middle of the bridge, where the next round of loading began.
"Hahaha!" The thieves laughed: "Their fire speed is very slow, and the number is not much, don't be afraid, rush, another wave will come to them." ”
"This strange bridge is still a little interesting, as long as we take this bridge, we can want to be in Shanxi in the future, and if we want to go to Shaanxi, we will go to Shaanxi, and we will grab it on both sides."
The vanguard of the thieves rushed onto the bridge with a roar.
But the bridge deck is no more narrow than the flat ground, and the bandit soldiers are all scattered in formation, and now they are all crowded together, densely packed.
This is a good target for firecrackers.
Shi Jian gave an order, and the musketeers began to shoot freely.
Shoot at the huddled enemy and don't hit too easily.
Two hundred bullets flew over, and almost two hundred thieves were shot, and a large area fell in an instant, and a pile of corpses was piled up on the narrow bridge deck.
The thief panicked a little......
But I heard the laughter of the eight kings of Xiying behind me: "It's just right that someone is dead, use their corpses as shields and move forward." ”
Thieves: "! ”
There was a brief moment of confusion, but soon ferocity and ruthlessness prevailed, and someone really picked up the corpse of his comrade and hid behind the corpse to move forward.
A long row of corpses, lifted up, lined up on the bridge deck, floated forward in a neat row......
This terrifying picture frightened the Gao family villagers.
The two hundred guards were even more frightened.
Shi Jian: "Fuck, are these eight kings of Xiying human?" His soldiers are a little abnormal, right? ”
"What about grenades? Give me a grenade! ”
"Will it blow up Tianzun's bridge?"
"Tianzun definitely doesn't care about the bridge, he cares more about everyone's lives."
"Ah, yes, throw the grenade."
Someone took out a grenade, threw it forward, and fell into the dense array of thieves, with a bang, however, the fragmentation grenade did not work well on the enemy in this dense formation, and when it exploded, the shrapnel was sucked away by the nearest few enemies before it had time to disperse.
The few people who were killed by the explosion also became a wall of corpses, and were pushed by the living to move on.
Shi Jian and the others were scared out of their cold sweat.
It's the first time I've fought against such an inhuman enemy, and I'm furious when I fight.
Seeing that he was about to be rushed in front of him, suddenly, the people who had already run past the east bridge shouted, with a sense of joy in their voices, and then the large group of people scattered to both sides.
An army came out from behind, led by a black scarf and masked, it was Cheng Xu.
Cheng Xu hasn't been on the battlefield for a long, long time!
As the chief instructor of the Gao family village group, he has been training soldiers all these years, managing the rear, managing ordnance, and arguing with Xu Dafu, Gao Yiyi, and Li Da, anyway, he hasn't done a few serious things.
Now back on the battlefield, it can be described as full of energy.
Sweeping forward, the Longmen Yellow River Bridge was clear, and there was no figure of half of the grandmother.
Advanced weapons, first-class soldiers with military discipline, and sufficient logistics, how can such an army lose?
Since you can't lose, of course there won't be a grandmother.
He hadn't seen his grandmother for years, years.
Cheng Xu laughed: "Shi Jian, tell your people to hide behind sandbags." ”
In fact, there was no need for him to shout this sentence, Shi Jian also understood what to do, and lay down in the sandbag pile with his head in a hurry, and the four hundred subordinates around him all acted according to the law, and they all hid in the sandbag.
On the bridge deck, in an instant, only the troops of the Eight Kings of Xiying were still standing.
Cheng Xu didn't even bother to give an order, just waved his hand and pointed at the bridge.
The two thousand militia soldiers behind him immediately opened fire.
It's no longer just two hundred firearms, but more than a thousand. Among them, there are 500 of the latest Shasebo rifles, 1,000 rifled muskets, and there are no smoothbore muskets anymore, because the smoothbore guns have been completely eliminated and have become the toys of the militia.
These thousand and five firearms fired together, the power was not blown, even if the thieves pushed the corpses, they couldn't stop such terrible firepower.
In an instant, in a short instant, the thieves on the bridge deck suffered heavy casualties.
