East Factory Governor

Chapter 166
At the time of Chou, the Jianghe gang's revenge began.

Zhang Xiao, Meng Hu, and Meng Wei attacked Shihezi, Sandaokou, and Shanzuipu Wharf almost simultaneously.

The Cao Gang and the Beggars' Gang stationed a total of more than 800 people in more than [-] large and small docks around Qingwu Town. Among them, [-] belonged to the Cao Gang and [-] belonged to the Beggars' Gang.

Among these people, 500 people were stationed in each of the three large piers of Sandaokou, Qingwu, and Shanzuipu, and the remaining 800 people were stationed in various small and medium piers.

In the opening stage, Zhang Xiao was the most relaxed.The first pier he attacked, Shihezi, was a small pier with only about [-] people stationed there, and all of them belonged to the Cao Gang.Without any tactics, the Qibai Jianghe gang quickly completed the encirclement from the east and west sides, and then there was a frenzied massacre.The sixty Cao Gang members on the pier were killed before they even had time to surrender.

After cleaning up the Shihezi Wharf, Zhang Xiao didn't leave a single soldier behind, and led all his men to rush to the next wharf - this time the purpose was not to seize the territory, but purely for revenge.

Meng Hu is not so easy here.

Three hundred members of the Cao Gang and two hundred Beibei disciples were stationed at Sandaokou Wharf.Compared with the profit-oriented Cao Gang, the Beggars' Gang is closer to a martial arts sect that imparts skills and skills. Almost every student has a master who teaches skills. The cultivation base is generally higher than that of the Cao Gang.

Before the start of the battle, Meng Hu sneaked in and probed inside for more than half an hour.It was found that among the disciples of the Northern Beggars, the lowest level of cultivation was around the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and there were as many as eleven or twelve of the Mysterious Tongjing Realm, and there was also a seven-pocket disciple who was already the second and third level of the Mysterious Tongjing Realm look like.

As for Meng Hu's subordinates, although Qin Shuhuai promoted the simple version of Yi Jin Jing in the gang, the average cultivation base could barely reach the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, but because the promotion time is too short, currently those above the Xuantong Realm, Only Pi Gou, Lai San'er, and Chen Jing were involved, which caused Meng Hu a great headache.

He wasn't afraid that he wouldn't be able to take down the 500 people, but he was afraid that the Jianghe Gang would lose too much.Qin Shuhuai had more than [-] people in total, and he wanted to use them against the Tartars. It can be said that each of these people is Qin Shuhuai's treasure, Meng Hu knows this very well.

If I folded too much in my own hands, I would really be ashamed to go back to see Mr. Qin.

While Meng Hu was struggling, Leather Dog had already drawn up an attack plan.Talked to Meng Hu again, Meng Hu was confused and confused for a long time, so he just waved his hands and handed over the command to Pigou. Anyway, for him, commanding so many people to fight is far worse than rushing up by himself Killing comes quickly.

Pigou had attacked Sandaokou Wharf before, so he was very familiar with it.Sandaokou Wharf has two entrances and exits, one is in the direction of the wharf in the west, and the other is in the direction of the storage yard in the east.He immediately divided the troops into two groups, one group of 400 people entered from the direction of the pier in the west, while the other group of 250 people ambushed at the exit in the direction of the east yard.

The attack begins.

To the west, towards the pier.

The first to enter is a phalanx composed of fifty cavalry, who are responsible for clearing the way ahead.These cavalry are equipped with heavy armor from men to horses, and they are selected from people who are accustomed to using long knives and spears. These two weapons are most suitable for cavalry combat.These cavalrymen themselves are all from the Jianghu, and their cultivation bases are at least second or third class in the Foundation Establishment Realm, so they are stronger than ordinary cavalrymen.

Behind the cavalry, there is a phalanx composed of a hundred infantry, and the phalanx is surrounded by swords and shields.These sword and shield soldiers are all wearing two layers of thick armor. The sword is made of the most advanced fine steel produced by the method of frying steel. The blade is hard and light, and the shield is also mixed with a lot of fine steel, which is light and tough. Better protection of the shield soldiers can greatly reduce the load of the shield soldiers and increase their speed.These were bought by Qin Shuhuai at a high price, not to mention in Daming, they are at least 60 or [-] years ahead of Europe in the world.

Behind the infantry was a square formation of fifty crossbowmen and fifty shield soldiers.Qin Shuhuai always believed that crossbowmen were better than musketeers in actual combat, so he spent a lot of money to buy a batch of expensive three-company crossbows and trained three hundred crossbowmen.These crossbowmen are all equipped with heavy armor, and each crossbowman is protected by a shield soldier in front of him.

Behind the crossbowmen, there are fifty archers.

In addition to bows and arrows, these crossbowmen and archers are also equipped with waist knives.The waist knife is used for self-defense. Because it takes time and effort to train archers and crossbowmen, generally archers and crossbowmen do not participate in melee combat after shooting arrows and crossbows.

Behind the archers, at the end of the line, are a hundred light infantry in the rear.To say that they are lightly armed is aimed at the shield soldiers wearing two layers of thick armor. In fact, their protection is no worse than that of the heavy armor soldiers in the normal army.Because Qin Shuhuai considered that these people's cultivation would improve in the future, and the weight of the armor would not cause a delay in their actions after they reached a certain cultivation level.

The [-] Jianghe gang with a well-organized lineup moved forward at an orderly pace.The sound of uniform footsteps and the roar of the sky suddenly cut through the night sky, making everyone on the pier startled.

The time has come to test their training results.

On the pier, a total of [-] members of the Cao Gang and [-] Beibei disciples gathered. When they saw the enemy attacking, they drew their weapons one after another, and immediately gathered together habitually.

When they were 150 meters away from them, the archers fired a volley first. Fifty bows and arrows hit more than a dozen people, which did not cause too much damage, but caused chaos to the 300 people on the opposite side.

With a roar, the cavalry began to charge. The distance of more than 100 meters is enough for the cavalry to charge up. Fifty heavy cavalry wielding sharp sabers and spears instantly blew a steel whirlwind on the narrow pier, rushing into the crowd with a force of destruction, and instantly rushed the 300 people into the crowd. They were all scattered, and took away a dozen heads by the way.For the cavalry charge, if it was just a horse, some masters around the fifth level of the Xuantong Realm could knock down the horse with a single punch, but if it was a group, he had to avoid it.

After the cavalry charged once, they turned back again and continued to charge towards the crowded place.These people from the rivers and lakes are used to fighting in groups, where have they ever seen a real cavalry charge?For a while, they couldn't organize a decent counterattack at all, so they just avoided these behemoths first.

At this time, a hundred infantry phalanx had arrived quickly.These infantrymen were formed in groups of five, and each group had a shield soldier.The shield soldier rushed to the front, and after locking on to the target, he rushed towards the opponent. The remaining four followed him closely. After approaching the target, two of them jumped out from the left and right to besiege the target, while the other two were responsible for protecting the flanks and behind.The five of them only attacked one target each time, and quickly moved on to the next target after they succeeded.

At this time, the archers had also seized the high ground, and they were responsible for covering the infantry's attack.

Almost at the same time, the crossbowmen arrived under the protection of shield soldiers.They first shot at the densely populated Cao Gang and Beggar Gang, and these gang members were not wearing any armor. Each time they shot a large area, at least thirty or forty people were killed.

However, there are not many such opportunities, because the two sides will soon engage in hand-to-hand combat, and it is impossible for the crossbowmen to attack indiscriminately.So they immediately changed to sneak attack among the crowd.The shooting speed of crossbow arrows is extremely fast, and they are used as hidden weapons at this time. These crossbowmen who have undergone strict training are good at shooting cold arrows from any possible angle, making opponents hard to guard against. Many Beibei disciples and Cao Gang members are fighting Suddenly, he felt a chill in his body, and then realized that he had been hit by an arrow.

In the end, a hundred light infantry from the rear arrived, and they quickly dispersed, forming an enveloping formation, and rushed in one by one from the outside.
