Chapter 250 Cavalry vs Musketeers

In the woods, Shi Xiaolei squatted behind a tree, holding in his hand the night vision goggles that Li Chaosheng distributed to senior generals. The moonlight is not very bright today, which is not very good for cavalry combat, but Ma Shouying had to do it. The decision to attack Xuzhuang Town at night was because he had received news that Luo Rucai's bandit soldiers would enter Xuzhuang Town tomorrow morning, and at that time Xuzhuang Town's fat would be robbed again.

Ma Shou is actually not that greedy for wealth, but the cavalry under his command quit. They need wealth, especially watching Luo Rucai and the Heisha God's Department make a fortune in Dali County, it is even more unbearable.

It is also a rebel army, why are they covered in gold, silver and jewels, and they can eat all they can eat, while the noble cavalry like myself have to starve and eat some pancakes to pass the time, we want to eat meat, we want to eat Big fat!

This kind of emotion is very violent in the army, but it is actually quite normal, just like two college students in the same class and dormitory, usually with similar academic performance in all aspects, and no family is richer or more powerful than the other.

As a result, as soon as he graduated, one person made a fortune directly. He ate meat and drank a lot of wine, and his girlfriends were prettier than the other, while the other classmate earned [-] yuan a month.

Such a comparison, the other classmate will definitely not be able to bear it, and will desperately move closer to this classmate.

Therefore, the cavalry protested that Ma Shouying, as a leader, could not meet the needs of his subordinates. He was not a qualified leader.

Therefore, Ma Shouying had no choice but to rush into Xuzhuang Town with soldiers and horses before Luo Rucai's army, robbed Xuzhuang Town, and used Xuzhuang Town's gold and silver treasures to meet the needs of his subordinates, so that his position as leader could last for a long time. Only the troops will not be scattered, without a little cohesion.

As the army marched, Ma Shouying informed the army to cover the horse's mouth with a cage, and took off all the bells hanging from the horse's neck, and set off to Xuzhuang Town in a state of silence.

"Battalion Commander, Battalion Commander."

Shi Xiaolei was a little tired from watching, so he let the adjutant stare at it for a while, then turned around and squinted for a while, at this moment the adjutant took off the night vision device and bumped into Shi Xiaolei, Shi Xiaolei glanced at the adjutant, the adjutant pointed to the road, followed closely Then I saw a huge cavalry team coming here in the dark.

Seeing this, Shi Xiaolei regained his energy immediately, and made a gesture to the adjutant. At this moment, the adjutant bowed his waist and made an OK gesture to the person behind him. This gesture was learned by Shi Xiaolei from Li Chaosheng, so he regarded it as a code word for the army了 means to be ready, and to be ready.

This distinction is mainly based on the dialogue environment. For example, if someone stretches out the OK gesture first, it means asking, are you ready, or ready.

At this time, giving an OK gesture means that you are ready.

Everything was ready, at this time the army passed by little by little, and Li Chaomeng also saw the approaching black shadow in front of him at this time. The food in Lantian County is very good, and almost every meal has meat, so few people have night blindness. It is very helpful at times, especially the special brigade. Their food standard is much better than that of the regular army, so no one in the special brigade has night blindness.

At this time, under the faint moonlight, they saw the dark cavalry in the distance, and everyone's blood began to boil immediately. Vice-captain Zhao San couldn't help licking his chapped lips. This was his habit before fighting. Lick it moist.

Li Chaomeng was also very excited at this time. He waved his hand, and everyone pulled out their long muskets. Li Chaomeng held his breath and waited for the cavalry to enter the ambush circle.

Ma Shouying was sitting on the horse at this time, surrounded by a general in the army, who was also the general he brought back from his hometown. At this time, the general looked at Ma Shouying and said, "General, you are going to get rich soon, why are you unhappy?"

Hearing this, Ma Shouying sighed and said, "When we rebelled, it was because the dog emperor didn't let us have enough to eat, and enslaved us every day. The bandits and thieves made trouble for us, but we didn't expect that we would make trouble for others today."

Ma Shouying spoke very stiffly, and his voice was very cold. Hearing this, the general sighed and said, "It can't be helped, boss. We rebelled just to eat."

"But we've had enough to eat."

Ma Shouying said, the lieutenant sighed after hearing this, "Yes, we can eat enough, but more people want to eat well now, we can restrain our brothers, but Luo Rucai, Heisha God and the others don't restrain at all. They have taken a bad lead, we must follow, otherwise our brothers' hearts will be broken."

After hearing this, Ma Shouying wanted to say something, but in the end he sighed.

The general went on to say: "Boss, actually you don't need to be so entangled, our military discipline is already considered the best among the rebels, and this time we entered Xuzhuang Town, we only killed the rich and did not rob the poor. We will never be like Luo Rucai and Heisha Scratching the ground like a god."

After hearing this, Ma Shouying said: "Maybe, I don't know when, we became like this, originally we just wanted to survive."

After hearing this, the general said: "Boss, people's goals are always changing. You can't expect everyone to stay the same. If you can survive, you naturally want to survive better. If you have food, you naturally want gold and silver. Isn't that natural?"

After hearing this, Ma Shouying sighed, raised his head and looked around, suddenly Ma Shouying raised his hand, and the general was taken aback, "What's wrong, boss?"

Ma Shouying said, "It's not right, why is it so quiet here?"

After hearing this, the general asked, "Is it quiet?"

After finishing speaking, I continued to listen attentively, and indeed there was not even a meowing of cats or insects. This is unreasonable. The village in front of me seemed to be dead silent.

"It's not right, why don't you even bark like a cat or a dog?"

The general muttered, and after hearing this, Ma Shouying stared and said: "Withdraw, quickly withdraw!"

The general also felt bad and wanted to yell, but Ma Shouying held down the general and said, "Don't yell, let me inform you, and withdraw secretly!"

General Shen nodded, followed by whispering to his side: "There is an ambush to withdraw, pass it on."

Hearing this, the cavalrymen on the side were stunned, and then said to the people next to them: "There is an ambush to withdraw, pass it on."

The speed of the cavalry team slowed down for a while, seeing this scene, the deputy said to Shi Xiaolei: "There is something wrong with the battalion commander, they will not find anything when their speed slows down!"

After hearing this, Shi Xiaolei said: "I should have noticed something, but it doesn't matter, they have already entered an ambush, but they haven't reached the predetermined position, it's just that the special team is not easy to fight."

After hearing this, the assistant said: "What should we do now?"

Shi Xiaolei directly took out the flintlock gun and said: "Notice, the rear army will cut off the rear, and refuse to block the road."

Speaking of which, Shi Xiaolei fired first, followed closely by the musketeers who were ambushing in the woods. Immediately, the gunshots rang out, crackling, and flames splashed all over the woods.

"Not good, there is an ambush, withdraw!"

Ma Shouying yelled, but at this moment on the mountain road they came to just now, suddenly a dozen soldiers directly moved out the prepared refusal horses and blocked the road. The big bag usually contained Ma Shouying and a thousand cavalry in it.

clap clap clap...

A series of fierce gunshots and screams rang out, and the musket shot out with marbles, hitting a hole in the person's body, and blood trickled out.

The horses couldn't bear the shooting of such bullets, and when a round of muskets came down, at least a hundred people were lost, including the man and the horse.

At this time, Li Chaomeng, who was ambushing in the village, heard gunshots and asked, "Why did you shoot before you arrived at the predetermined location?"

After hearing this, Zhao San said: "It should be an unexpected situation."

After hearing this, Li Chaomeng said: "It seems so, but we can't let the Musketeers fight alone. Brothers, advance 300 meters and shoot for me, and refuse to intercept!"

After hearing this, the special brigade reacted immediately, watching Juma come to the front intersection to be stopped, followed by advancing 300 meters, and shooting.

"No, you can't sit and wait like this, rush out!"

Ma Shouying yelled: "Brothers, follow me and kill!"

As he spoke, he rode his horse and charged forward, waving a spear in his hand. There was an aura of gods blocking and killing gods, and Buddhas blocking Buddhas. When the cavalry heard Ma Shouying's words, their eyes widened immediately, and they rushed forward following Ma Shouying .

But at this moment, a group of people suddenly came in front. This group of people came to meet the cavalry with their horses on their backs. When they came to the front, they fired muskets.
The bullets were unleashed, and Ma Shouying's horse was blocked in one encounter. Ma Shouying was worthy of being a man on a horse. Seeing the situation, he jumped behind the horse, blocked the bullet with the body of the horse, and escaped his life.

But the rest of the cavalry didn't charge up. At this time, they were hit by a hail of bullets, and there were countless casualties. The combat effectiveness of the special brigade was very strong. Once the long guns were fired, they put down the long guns on the spot, and then took out two short-fired blunderbusses. Shoot at the charging enemy.

clap clap clap...

A series of terrible gunshots rang out. The [-] special brigade, each with two guns, and [-] firecrackers fired at short distances from the front. In an instant, a group of cavalry were directly shot and killed. In just one round, more than [-] people were killed.

Seeing the killing here, Shi Xiaolei smiled and said: "It's because the county lord didn't see it, otherwise the county lord will feel sorry for him to death. These are very good war horses."

After hearing Shi Xiaolei's words, the deputy said: "Then shall we surrender?"

After hearing this, Shi Xiaolei said: "Beat them until there are only 100 people left. When five or six hundred cavalrymen surrender, even if they surrender, do we dare to accept them?"

Hearing this, the assistant smiled and said, "That's true."

Shi Xiaolei said at this time: "Pay attention to changing the ammunition, do not stop shooting in three bursts, suppress them, suppress them!"

"Yes."

After hearing this, the soldiers of the Firearms Battalion began to shoot crazily. The three-stage shooting can ensure uninterrupted firepower suppression. In this era when the flintlock can only be fired single-shot, this is already a very advanced tactic.

The cavalry is actually very powerful. If it is in an open area, the firearms battalion really can't beat the thousands of cavalry. Even if the thousands of cavalry are behind in weapons, but if you really want to die and charge against the [-] firearms battalion , there will definitely be someone who can get close. If the cavalry is allowed to get into the firearms battalion, it will be miserable.

The situation will be reversed in an instant.

Of course, this refers to encounters. In places where there is no shelter on the plain, if it is not an encounter, the firearms battalion will build fortifications in advance. With the fortifications, the cavalry will suffer heavy casualties against the firearms soldiers. ,
Of course, if the cavalry is also a firearms soldier, that is another concept. Anyway, with firearms, the cavalry is no longer so invincible.

Xuzhuang Town has only one road into the village, and both sides of the road are full of forests. This forest belongs to the big landlord of Xuzhuang Town, the wealthy Wang. It is said that this is the land of wealth for the Wang family. The tree here, whoever is the life and death enemy of the king and rich man, is a way to cut off people's wealth.

Therefore, even though the woods occupied ten mu of fertile land in Xuzhuang Town, no one dared to say no.

At the beginning, Shi Xiaolei and Li Chaomeng chose this place because of the woods. As we said earlier, there are almost no mountains in Dali County.

Therefore, if they wanted to wipe out the cavalry that was in the way, they had to find a place with good geomantic omens. In the end, they chose Xuzhuang Town. For this reason, they specially mobilized the spies in the rebel army to make Ma Shouying's cavalry greedy, and finally led them to Xuzhuang Town step by step.

Then use this piece of woods to make a natural pocket. The woods are blocked by ropes and the roads are blocked by horses. This is a simple pocket array.

In the pocket, the cavalry is just a plaything, the cavalry who can't run is not even as good as the infantry, at this time they are surrounded in the encirclement, and Shi Xiaolei, Li Chaomeng and others are like living targets.

All of a sudden, people turned their backs on their backs. The horses started to kick in such a fierce gunfire, and the cavalry began to lose control of the horses under their crotches. The horses flew up and down, not listening to a word.

Soon some cavalrymen were thrown off their backs by horses, but before they could stand up, the horse's hooves stepped on them, and when one hoof fell, the bones and tendons were broken, and when two hooves fell, they would pass out, and three hooves, With four hooves, people will soon be trampled into mud. This is the legendary horse treading on mud.

The battle was very brutal. When the rebel army faced the Lantian all-arms camp, they were almost powerless to fight back. Especially when Lantian County had the upper hand in weapons, they shamelessly used the method of ambush. They were even more powerless to fight back. force.

The musket spewed out flames, and every time a flame spewed out, two iron balls would be shot out. The power of the double-barreled musket was fully revealed at this time, Shi Xiaolei said to his assistant at this time: "It's almost done, go and order, and each of you will shoot five more balls." Shoot bullets, these five bullets are mainly to feel the various performances of this gun, after recording it, the group of guys in the firearms workshop will come to ask, don’t forget that we still have the title of firearms experiment camp, why don’t you serve me After those masters, if there are advanced muskets later, they are not worthy of being issued to us."

After hearing this, the deputy said: "Understood the battalion commander, I will inform you immediately to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

After hearing this, Shi Xiaolei said with satisfaction: "Well, that's right, let's leave it alone after five shots, and save a few for the special forces, otherwise Brother Mengzi will be very unwilling, and he will punish me then, then It won’t make it.”

Hearing this, the deputy couldn't help laughing, remembering the last time the battalion commander asked Captain Li Chaomeng to clean up.
