The great hero of the Silk Road, starting from a farm farmer

Chapter 90

With a "bang", Song Yingkui fired the flintlock gun twice and finally fired the gun.

The Xifan ranger in the front was still far away, and the musket had no aim. The shot did not hurt anyone, and the shot was mainly for courage.

"Qing'er, don't worry about being accurate, just shoot a few arrows first and then talk, third uncle, you also shoot a few shots, stabilize the formation first!" The most fearful thing when encountering an enemy in the middle of the night is that the moment the enemy comes into contact, the enemy will be in a hurry. So as soon as Song Yingkui encountered an enemy, he quickly asked his third uncle and the crossbow team to press the enemy out of range with muskets and bows and arrows, so as to buy time for the volunteer team to prepare mentally.

After a few rounds of bow and arrow shooting, the situation stabilized. Xifan Rangers did not keep probing in the direction of the chariot formation, but gathered troops together and began to deploy tactics seriously.

The place where they gathered their troops was about 200 meters away from the chariot formation. At this distance, bows and arrows could not be shot, and neither could muskets.

Through the flames, Song Yingkui finally understood exactly how many Xifan troops were attacking this time.

There should be more than 200 people in the Xifan army that came, and they are all wearing armor, or iron armor.In addition, in the rear of the Xifan army, there are still many empty horses following.Is this a configuration of one man and two horses?The group of Xifan troops who came here is not low-level.

"The bow and crossbow team climbed on the grain carts to shoot, don't stand up. The sword and shield team sticks to the side of the bow and crossbow team to prevent the foreign soldiers from rushing into the car formation. The long spear team and the sentinel cavalry line up to fill the gap Prepare. The rest of the people are temporarily watching the formation and waiting for the next military order!" In the wilderness, grain trucks have become the most important means of protecting everyone's safety, and the circle of grain trucks is equivalent to trenches.

Soon after Song Yingkui issued the military order, the Xifan army also started to move. They divided into several groups and rushed towards the chariot formation.

The swishing bows and arrows flew randomly, and several of the flying bows and arrows hit Song Yingkui who was standing on the grain cart in the inner circle directing the battle, but he was far away from the armor and was not injured.

Crossbowmen and sword and shield soldiers can climb onto the grain carts to reduce the probability of being hit by arrows, but as the commander Song Yingkui cannot, he must stand up to observe the situation on the battlefield at any time.

The Volunteer Team mainly uses crossbows, but at this time they have a unique advantage, they can shoot from the prone position!Unlike a bow, you have to stand upright and shoot an arrow.

The density of arrows shot by the Xifan army was not low, but the damage was limited, and many of them were inserted into the grain carts or missed.When the volunteer team shot out, a few arrows pierced into the body of the Fan soldiers.

The two sides shot indiscriminately for about a quarter of an hour before Xifan's rangers retreated beyond the range of their bows and arrows.

"Second brother, you get a few from the third father, and carry the injured brothers to the battle, give them medicine and bandages. Third father, take ten brothers from your side, each with a torch and a fire mine , wait by my side." Song Yingkui saw that several people from the Volunteer Team had been shot by arrows, so he quickly arranged for his second younger brother Song Yingfang to take them down to treat them.

After all, it is the regular army of Xifan, and the damage caused by this round alone is greater than that of several fights with the half-fans.

"Don't panic! The Japanese were injured more than us. We have chariots to rely on, and the fire and thunder are useless. They can't do anything to us. A few people from the sentry cavalry team continued to shoot against the injured crossbowmen. Son, don't let the bow and crossbow idle." Hearing the wailing of the injured brothers, Song Yingkui hurriedly shouted to stabilize the morale of the army.

Perhaps it was because they felt that shooting with bows and arrows was not cheap, so the Xifan soldiers changed their tactics and gathered four No. 50 cavalry in the front line. It seemed that they were going to charge into the line with bows and arrows.

A regular army is a regular army. This kind of cavalry's way of fighting hard is impossible for half-fans who are making trouble.Without strict training, the charge cavalry formation cannot be organized.Ordinary Fanzi would use sabers to plunder at most such cavalry methods.

"Song Xueliang, you are at the front with your musket loaded with shotguns. Song Yingqing, you bring thirty crossbowmen and line up to face the cavalry of Fanzi! The sword and shield team and the long spear team will follow behind us, and wait until we finish fighting Scatter after a round of guns and arrows, and you all go to the front." Seeing that the Xifan soldiers were about to charge into the formation, Song Yingkui hurriedly changed his tactics, preparing to use muskets and bows and arrows to block the group first, and then use the sword and shield team and long spear team hard top.

In fact, he thought about igniting the grenade and throwing it out to stop the enemy cavalry, but after thinking about it, he felt that it might not achieve the expected effect.

For the sake of safety, the fuse of the grenade was placed relatively long, and it took a while to explode after being thrown out. The speed of the cavalry was fast. It is estimated that before the grenade exploded, the enemy cavalry rushed into the vehicle formation.

The grenade was originally designed for the catapult, but this time I couldn't bring the catapult with me, so I had to throw it by hand.The throwing distance is limited, but fortunately there are vehicles guarding it, otherwise even if it is an emergency, no one would dare to use it.Let's go through this for a while first, and wait for a suitable time to use the grenade to play the role of controlling the enemy with one move, such as when the Xifan soldiers use infantry to charge!
Together with the third uncle, they held their muskets and stood at the front of the Xifan army's attacking direction. At this time, Song Yingkui felt as if he had fallen into the state when he encountered bandits at home again. He was excited and had no fear in his heart. .

The ground trembled with the violent sound of horseshoes, and Fanzi's cavalry was crushed like a strong wind.

"Fire the arrow!" shouted, and the crossbowman beside him shot an arrow.

As soon as the bow and arrow were shot, before waiting for the result, Song Yingkui smelled the smell of fanzi in his nose.

"Shoot!" Shouting, Song Yingkui pulled the trigger!This time the flintlock was very powerful, and the gunpowder was ignited in one fell swoop, spraying out angry shotguns.The third uncle beside him also fired the matchlock gun!
After firing the gun, Song Yingkui didn't stop, shouted "Sword and Shield Team and Long Spear Team on top!" and then turned over from the grain truck.Throwing the gun, he quickly retreated to find his long axe.

When he found the long ax and was about to turn around and chop the Fanzi who rushed into the chariot formation, he found that the Xifan cavalry did not rush into the chariot formation!

"The commander is mighty! The Xifan soldiers were scattered by the fire and thunder guns, and they withdrew!!" Yang Shunan, who was standing on the grain cart with a big knife in his hand, saw that Song Yingkui was a little flustered, and hurriedly reported the enemy's situation.

"The commander is mighty! The commander is mighty!" Immediately afterwards, the entire Wuying Town Volunteer Team uttered a mountain cry.

Looking on the grain cart, the Xifan cavalry had indeed retreated, and their entire team even retreated some distance.

It can be regarded as withstood the hard charge of the opponent's cavalry. The Xifan soldiers may have been frightened by the shotguns that can cause large-scale damage at close range.Almost all of the enemy cavalry charging in the front were seriously injured. How have they ever seen such a scene?

"Hurry up and disperse the formation to guard the car formation, in case the bandits roam about." The enemy retreated, not left, Song Yingkui saw that the volunteer team was calling and celebrating desperately, so he quickly ordered them to disperse and defend. The crisis is not over yet!
