Chapter 1296 Counterattack
"Stay away, spread out, don't get too close!" A man with the appearance of an officer yelled at the soldiers, while lying down in the ditch, secretly sticking out his head to look in the direction of the rebels.

The bullets fired by the Rebel Flying Bullguns weighed [-] jin and charged [-] jin of powder. Once they hit the trenches, their lethality was astonishing.

The Ming army suffered so much, and finally learned to be good.

Although there is no scientific guidance, but driven by instinct, he also learned the two skills of spreading out and lying on the ground.

"Chief whistle, shall we still charge?" A soldier was a little frightened, and ran over involuntarily, asking in a low voice.

He participated in a charge the day before yesterday, but after being beaten by the rebels, he was killed by spearmen and knives, and he still has lingering fears.

"Military law is ruthless, you don't pick up land if you want to die?" The whistle chief cursed, then hesitated.

"Don't rush so fast for a while, follow behind others, and save yourself from being shot to death by someone!"

ah?But every time I don't pay attention, I run ahead.
The soldier pursed his lips and wanted to complain, but he didn't expect to hear a loud shout before opening his mouth: "Enemy attack!"

Enemy attack?

For a while, the Ming army in the trench was a little dazed. Where did the enemy attack come from?
It turns out that the Ming army took the initiative to attack during this period of time, while the rebel army has always been on the defensive side.

The number of times was too many, and the Ming army seemed to have tacitly agreed that the rebels would not attack.

As a result, the rebel army suddenly launched an attack, and the Ming army was dumbfounded.

"Quick, quick, don't stick to guns, bows and arrows, shoot me quickly!" The sentry officer was obviously in a hurry, and hurriedly shouted loudly.

"Ah? The firecrackers, bows and arrows are all behind!" All the soldiers were taken aback when they heard this, and quickly responded.

It turned out that the rebel army had been hiding in the trenches, and the Ming army's firearms, bows and arrows were useless.

Therefore, before each charge, the Ming army likes to put long-range weapons behind, and then charge with a knife, ax and long gun in heavy armor.

However, this time the Ming army hadn't finished their preparations yet, and the rebel army charged forward instead. The Ming army was caught off guard and suddenly became chaotic.

While yelling at the soldiers behind him, the sentry officer stared at the "thief" who charged.

However, when he saw the "thief" in front of him, he couldn't help being surprised.

It turned out that the soldiers charging at the front of the rebel army did not hold knives, axes, spears and firecrackers. Instead, each of them held a three-foot "stick".

Seeing these soldiers charging to about [-] steps, they squatted down one after another, then held the "sticks" in their hands upside down, and pointed their big heads obliquely in the direction of the Ming army.

However, another cylindrical object was taken out from the satchel on the side of his body, and it was placed on the "mavette head".

Flying cannon?
The sentry officer realized what was going on, and couldn't help but screamed loudly: "Flying Pao, Flying Pao, get out of the way!"

But before the other soldiers took a closer look, a large group of spearmen and axemen rushed up, blocking the sight of the rebel flying gunners.

However, just because you can't see something doesn't mean it won't happen.

Not long after the call of the sentry officer of the Ming army fell, only a few muffled "bang bangs" were heard, and dozens of flowering bombs flew up, and then smashed into the trenches of the Ming army.

As soon as some flowering bombs flew over the Ming army's heads, they exploded with a "bang", and a white mist was blown out, and a lot of white powder was scattered like rain.

And some just fell to the ground, and exploded on the spot, blasting out seven or eight pieces, injuring three or five people.

Others fell to the ground and misfired, basically doing nothing.

"Lime, this is lime, this is quicklime!" Just as the sentry officer breathed a sigh of relief, someone suddenly covered his eyes with his hands and screamed.

"Huh? This is quicklime? Shun thief is so vicious..."

These soldiers of the Ming army were all wearing heavy armor. The flowering bullet that burst into seven or eight fragments just now was not scary to them, but this quicklime, which was designed to hurt people's eyes, was extremely scary to them.

For a while, the soldiers of the Ming army became more and more confused. Before the sentry officer could reorganize his formation, the "killer team" of the rebel army came to kill the generals with spears, knives and axes.

They poked at anyone they saw, and chopped them down when they saw them. Those who could not be harmed by heavy armor were hooked down with axes, and chopped with big knives and axes.

There is only one sentry in this trench of the Ming army, how can they resist it?

Those who were immediately killed by the rebels retreated steadily, and lost their front positions in the trenches.

At the same time, the same thing was happening in several other trenches.

Originally, the elite of the Ming army who were carefully selected to capture the trenches of the rebel army were unexpectedly attacked by the rebel army first, and they were caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties.

"What, the trench has fallen!" Zhu Xieyuan, the left governor, heard the news, and his first reaction was disbelief.

"Our army has not dug more than a dozen trenches in the past few days, but there are seven or eight. Each sent a sentry, about seven or eight hundred elites, so they disappeared?"

"How can it be!" Li Guoliang, the chief soldier of Xuan Town who came to report unexpectedly, smiled wryly.

"Although there were heavy casualties, at least three to five hundred people were returned!"

Straight girl thief, if you don't speak, no one will treat you as dumb!

Zhu Xieyuan cursed secretly, glared at Li Guoliang, then turned his head and ordered: "Our military fortifications are complete and our camps are complete, even if there are occasional minor setbacks, it is nothing."

"Wang Shiren, the commander-in-chief of Datong, is in charge of defending the defense, but he wants no faults, no merits, as long as he persists until tomorrow morning, it will be a great achievement!"

"Huang Degongli, the general of Shenshu Battalion, led his cavalry to wander outside the camp to contain the enemy's attack."

"Once you find that the enemy has exposed a flaw, you will charge me back and show him some color!"

Such a good Zhu Xieyuan, sure enough, he is old and smart, he has seen the situation clearly, and he stabilized the morale of the army with only a few military orders.

It was easy to make arrangements, and everyone led the order to retreat. Zhu Xieyuan couldn't help but muttered to himself: "It's strange, it's strange, this 'Shun thief' used to stick to his defense, I don't know what medicine he took today, why did he suddenly fight back?"

Just as Zhu Xieyuan finished speaking, a doorman stretched out his head and looked inside.

He couldn't help frowning, and was about to scold.Unexpectedly, the doorman saw him, and hastily walked in three steps in two steps to report: "Master, Governor of Xuanda Zhang Fengyi and Governor of Datong Ye Tinggui came to see him hand in hand."

"Oh? Hurry up, please!" Zhu Xieyuan quickly adjusted his clothes, and then ordered.

After a while, sure enough, Zhang Fengyi and Ye Tinggui walked in, they had met each other, and they decided to sit down as host and guest.

Zhu Xieyuan was about to speak, but unexpectedly Governor Zhang Fengyi spoke first: "Master, Governor Zhang Weishi of the Xuan Mansion has just sent urgent information about the large-scale invasion of the Eastern Captives, and now they have crossed the Dushi Fort and entered the territory of the Xuan Mansion."

"What?" Zhu Xieyuan's expression changed drastically, and then he was silent for a long while before suddenly realizing, "So that's how it is!"

The governor of Xuanda Zhang Fengyi and the governor of Datong Ye Tinggui were confused when they heard it, they couldn't help asking strangely: "Master, why did you say that?"

"The two of you don't know, but the 'Shun Thieves' launched a fierce attack on our army just now. The trench channel that our army has worked so hard to dig is almost lost." Zhu Xieyuan couldn't help but smiled wryly.

"Ah? There is such a thing!" Zhang Fengyi and Ye Tinggui couldn't help being shocked.

"You two, don't worry, the governor has just stabilized the situation, and the outcome is still in doubt!" Zhu Xieyuan couldn't help laughing.

"So I don't know why 'Shun Thief' suddenly changed his behavior, but it turned out to be like this!"

"I heard that the 'Shun Thieves' are as fearful of captives as tigers, but now it seems that they are indeed so."

Before Zhu Xieyuan finished speaking, Zhang Fengyi and Ye Tinggui couldn't help laughing like cunning foxes.

The Art of War says: Use your courage to attack your intelligence, and use your wisdom to attack your emotions.

If you have no desires or desires, we will naturally bow down.

But since you are afraid, don't blame us for taking advantage of it.

"I have a plan!" Zhu Xieyuan couldn't help but suddenly said, but when he said it, he found that the voice was wrong.

It turned out that Zhang Fengyi and Ye Tinggui also suddenly spoke in unison with him.

"It's easy to say, easy to say, since that's the case, why don't the three of us write this plan in our palms to see if it's the same?" Zhang Fengyi couldn't help laughing.

"That's fine!" Zhu Xieyuan and Ye Tinggui couldn't help but nodded.

The three of them took a pen and ink to write in their palms, and then opened it, and saw that there were three strategies written: "Unite with captives", "Borrow captives" and "Drive away wolves and tigers".

"Hahaha!" The three of them couldn't help laughing happily, "This is indeed a hero who sees the same thing!"
