Win the Ding 1617

ps: There are still more than ten hours left, and this month's monthly pass will be invalid. Don't vote for the great gods, but also take care of the poor areas of the old and the young!Thank you!

Around the impact point of the shell, there was a lot of noise and commotion in the army formation of Taoyuan Taisha.The soldiers of Taoyuan Taisha, who were worried that the shells would hit themselves, turned around and left.

Although the soldiers dispersed like a tide at the landing point, except for a few unlucky ones lying on the open ground moaning, there was no one within a few feet of them.But people forget that another means of killing the solid shell is to bounce and dance, especially on the ground hardened by the cold wind this winter!

The cannonballs bounced happily among the denser crowd because of avoiding the cannonballs. Wherever they went, there were screams and blood flying.

A passage of flesh and blood was opened in the dense crowd. The shells were covered with human flesh and blood. On the path of bouncing all the way, there were human heads, arms, and thighs and calves of many people, leaving blood and blood everywhere. There was a long, shrill howl of howls.

"Don't retreat! Don't mess up! Those who run away first, I will open the ancestral hall to get rid of his clan! Those who run around, go back and ban the fields in his race!"

Under the threat and intimidation of the leaders, the armed forces of the Huang family gradually calmed down a little, took a few steps back, rearranged their formation, and prepared to give the Nanzhong thieves on the opposite side a good blow with their knives and guns. Take a lesson.

"put!"

The Dafo Langji, which had replaced the guns again, roared again, and white smoke rose into the air in front of the formation of the Sixth Guard Brigade.In a blink of an eye, it was torn to pieces by the cold wind in the mountains.

The artillery shells of Dafo Langji flew in the air, accompanied by the frightening sound, and with the bursts of screaming, dozens of large and small shells smashed into the queue of Huang and Lin like hail.In the formation of the regiments of the two families, they smashed and rolled around, causing the township warriors to rush around with their heads in their hands, shouting about ancestor gods and the like.

This time, no matter how intimidating the officers were, they couldn't reorganize the disbanded team. The disbanded crowd surrounded the leaders on horseback and fled towards the river in a chaotic manner.

The third young master of the head of the Huang family.The face is earthy.The lips were pale and completely out of shape.Seeing the big banner of the Lin family not far away, he hurriedly rode his horse and rushed over, as if catching a life-saving straw, he said hoarsely: "Brother Lin, we are defeated! We are defeated! What should we do?"

The Lin family's team was not as vicious as the Huang family's being tortured by shells.The number of casualties is far less than that of the Huang family.The leader of the Lin family looked at the hundreds of firecrackers holding blunderbuss behind them.There is also the main team of the Taisha.Shaking the whip in his hand, "Retreat to the Meijiang River, retreat there and reorganize the team!"

The area of ​​Shekeng is considered to be surrounded by mountains and rivers.In addition to Patsong Mountain, there are many rivers flowing through here.There are five relatively large rivers. The main stream of the Meijiang River in the upper reaches of the Hanjiang River flows in through Butouba in Xingning and Fenghuang Mountain in the territory, dividing the whole town into east and west parts.On the west bank of the Meijiang River is Shekeng Town. When you get there, you can straighten up the team a little bit, and ask the doctor to check and treat the injured regiment.

Watching the teams of Huang and Lin with red and yellow turbans on their headbands collapsed by two rounds of artillery fire, the leaders of Taoyuan Taisha and the leaders of the various armies and horses ignored the ridicule and restrained the team one after another, and turned to Huang and Lin. They sent people from the direction where the two broke up, firstly to appease and condolence, and secondly to prevent the broken soldiers from rushing into their own camp.

"Huang Damu! You're doing well, kid! Well done!"

Seeing the team of more than a thousand people rushing wildly under the two rounds of artillery fire, Ou Dapeng immediately applauded the officers and soldiers of the artillery battalion.

Under the persuasion of the servants and servants, several leaders standing under the banner got off their horses to prevent them from being targeted by artillery fire.

"I've always heard that the Nanzhong bandits have fierce artillery fire. When they are fighting against the French, Siamese, and Portuguese overseas, they must use artillery fire first in every battle. It seems that this battle is not easy to fight!"

"It's easy to fight, but it's still going to be fought! We rushed up and talked to them with swords, guns and guns. If we get close, the cannons will be useless!"

"The second owner is right! I saw that most of the troops in their team used firecrackers, and there were very few knives and guns! Paste it up, killing and injuring hundreds of people, and mingling with them, look at his cannons and guns. How can the firecrackers show off their power!"

The Patriarch of the Guan family, who was dressed in a Shu brocade war robe, was also ruthless.

Anyway, these regiments are poor ghosts who plow the clan's fields in the clan, and they die when they die!The big deal is to take out some money and food to appease the family!

"Drumming! People from all teams and families go up to meet them! While their cannons are still cooling down, stick them up!"

"Boom, boom, boom"

Thunderous drums sounded, and under the banner, more than a dozen big drums covered with whole cowhide beat in unison. The leading drummers were the big leaders of Taoyuan Taisha, and the heads of the three families beat the war drums in person.

"Kill the thief!"

Amidst the sound of drums, the Patriarchs and Team Leaders of each family drove their troops to attack slowly.Behind them, the troops of the three families were guarding behind them like jailers. Hundreds of firecrackers were filled with gunpowder and lit the matchlocks. The firecrackers lined up and stood by.

The dense crowd separated the teams according to the color of the turbans on their heads, holding spears in their hands, and marched towards the team of the South China Army not far away.At first it was a slow drive, and slowly turned into a brisk walk.Then, a cry erupted from the crowd, and the team began to run rapidly.Most of these people were farmers who planted clan fields among the clans that joined the Taoyuan Grand Society for mutual protection. They were half lured and half threatened by the patriarchs to come here.

"The big society and the patriarchs of all clans have said it! Kill a Nanzhong thief, and reward five silver dollars! The armor, weapons and property seized belong to me! Clan fields cultivated will be exempted from tax for three years! Kill!"

In troubled times, what could be easier than dying?Either others die, or oneself die!However, if he kills the Nanzhong bandits in this battle, he can obtain property and silver rewards, and more importantly, the family's fields can be exempted from rent and taxes for several years, not only can he live well.Living without worrying about food and clothing, but also allowing the family to live decently, what could be more cost-effective than this deal?

"The ones wearing headscarves of various colors are Tian Yong of various surnames under the jurisdiction of Taoyuan Dasha. Most of them are farmers and farmers who are farming the fields in the ethnic group, and they are drawn up by the mu to receive some drills. Those in the team are wearing bamboo hats and wearing Those who wear cotton armor are the members of the regiment, who are paid. This generation is the backbone of each regiment's training. They are proficient in martial arts. They have been in battle for a long time. Whether it is fighting enemies, fighting for territory, or fighting against various thieves. These people They are all the main force.”

Sitting on the horse harness brought by Ou Dapeng's personal soldiers, Wu Liuqi used the binoculars in his hand to point out and explain to him the motley crowd rushing from the opposite side.The five-color turbans formed waves with the running of the crowd.

"These paid regiments, we have taken over two small battles with them, whether it is physical strength, marksmanship, or swordsmanship. These guys are far better than our soldiers. Probably compared to the servants in the official army. On par."

Wu Liuqi probably remembered the scene when he fought against the Taoyuan Shrine that day.His face was quite ferocious.

A military organization like a militia.Personal skills have always been emphasized.Not to mention the era of hot and cold weapons in the late Ming Dynasty, it was the famous Bie Ting Fang series of militias in western Henan in the 40s.Tuan Ding's marksmanship and individual skills were no worse than those of the Japanese army and Japanese soldiers at that time.Even the 772nd Regiment under the command of General Chen, known for its strong combat effectiveness, suffered a bit after advancing into the west of Henan.

But such an army also has a fatal weakness. The individual soldiers have strong skills, the combat capabilities of the organized units are weak, and the command system and system are not smooth.For cooperative operations, it knows nothing.Facing the attack of a first-class force from General Chen's battalion and the coordinated infantry and artillery operations, it would collapse at the first touch.

"Brother Qu, your brothers rarely use knives and guns, why don't you let my men charge from the wings for a while, and then your men attack with firearms?"

"Don't worry, Brother Wu, I see that there are a lot of equipment produced by me in Nanzhong on the opposite side. I think these landlords have collected and bought them from all directions over the years. I will take them down and replace them with my brothers today!"

While the two were chatting and laughing, the assault team of Taoyuan Taisha had already charged two hundred steps away from the main formation of the Sixth Security Brigade, and impatient archers began to shoot arrows at the Nanzhong Army formation.However, the distance was too far, and when the arrow arrived, it was crooked and powerless, and fell obliquely to the ground.

"Two battalions of the [-]th Regiment, and two battalions of the [-]th Regiment, go up. Teach them a lesson!"

The trumpet sounded again, and the soldiers of the new brigade, who were serving as side guards on both wings, looked excitedly at the four battalion phalanxes in front of the formation slowly pressing up in the direction of the enemy.

"Change formation!"

After the four battalion formations slowly opened up the distance, the battalion officers looked about the same, and blew the copper whistle for changing formation almost at the same time.The two whistlers immediately ran out from the back of the phalanx in small steps, and advanced side by side with the two whistle brothers in the front row.

This scene was seen by people from the east and the west.Liu Ting'an, the leader of the Taoyuan Grand Society, couldn't help but take a breath of air. The officers and troops are in order, and the battalion is so skillfully drilled. The future of this battle is not good.

It's better not to know, after seeing this little action, 3 Wu Liuqi knew that his team would only have to practice hard in the South China Army, so as to gain a foothold in the future!

The four battalions quickly turned into a long row of four within a dozen steps, completely lying in front of the attack route of the Taoyuan Shrine.

"Okay! This group of Nanzhong thieves who don't know how to live or die! They are so big! Without the cover of artillery fire, let's see how they will meet our impact!"

Seeing that nearly half of Nanzhong's troops were sent out to form four long horizontal rows, and those artillery pieces with huge lethality and brought a huge psychological shadow to the soldiers were placed at the back of the queue. The leader, Guan Youming, shaves his beard and imitates his ancestor Guan.

"Fireball on the shoulder!"

The battalion officers glanced at each other from afar and issued passwords to the troops.

"Fire guns on the shoulders!" The sentinels and team officers in the team repeated the password one after another.

"go ahead!"

The long row of noodles slowly drove towards the Taoyuan Grand Shrine not far away.

Looking through the lens of the binoculars, the crowd of the South China Army in red armor and iron pointed helmets with eight-petal caps, four battalion flags and a dozen sentry flags are already about [-] to [-] steps away from the front of the Taoyuan Shrine.

In the formation of Taoyuan Grand Shrine, there was also a lot of shouts and shouts.They transferred hundreds of their archers from the formation to the front row, and lined up several rows of bows and arrows. The arrows in the back row were slanted towards the sky, and the arrows in the front row were aimed at the oncoming Nanzhong Army.

"put!"

Seeing that the forward of the Nanzhong Army had already entered within a hundred steps, the leader of the commanding archer swung the sword in his hand and roared fiercely.

Hundreds of arrows flitted through the air.

Facing the arrows fired by Taoyuan Taisha, it was not a happy moment for the South China Army.From the beginning of their enlistment training, they have accepted the diffusion of the arrows on the opposite side during the march, knowing that the arrows do not have much lethality at a distance of a hundred steps, not to mention that everyone has iron tips with wide brims helmet and breastplate.Occasionally, there were a few soldiers with sparsely inserted arrows that were about to fall.Nor did they shoot through the thick cotton coats of the soldiers.

The world suddenly became quiet.Wu Liuqi only heard his own heavy breathing.His eyes were firmly fixed on the South Central Army team that was strolling in the distance like thousands of people with swords, guns, bows and arrows.

"This group of thieves! Could it be that they are going to use demon methods?!"

Guan Youming couldn't help being a little dumbfounded. Facing the Nanzhong Army that was slowly approaching from far and approaching like a mountain, he suddenly felt a little uneasy.

Soldiers from the Taoyuan Taisha Shrine went forward.Whether it's those Tian Yong or those Tuan Ding who take the salary.He was also at a loss for this situation.The strides that had just charged had slowed down.The people in the front row stopped, but the people behind were still slowly catching up, forming a thick human wall for a while.

"Stop! Get your guns ready!"

"Take off the butt cap! Check the gunpowder! Check the flint!"

A series of passwords were yelled loudly by the sentinel officers.There was a loud noise in the queue.The soldiers nervously and orderly took off the gun head cap that was put on the muzzle of the gun to prevent dust, projectiles, and gunpowder from escaping, and gently tamped the gun barrel twice with a cleaning rod to combine the bullet with the gunpowder. Tightly, then opened the tap of the flintlock and checked the flint held in the jaws.

"Raise the gun!"

There was a constant buzzing sound, and the firecrackers in the front row raised the firecrackers in their hands in a dense manner, aiming at the Tian Yong regiments who were about forty steps ahead.

"Fire!"

A series of explosions continued continuously, and the long row was covered with a red and white lace by the flames and white smoke, which disappeared in a blink of an eye.What this lace brings to the people who see it on the opposite side is not a beautiful enjoyment, but a cruel killing.

Before the archers lined up in front had time to react, they were hit by dense projectiles. They, who only had turbans and a cotton jacket on their bodies, were hit by the powerful kinetic energy of the projectiles, causing bloody arrows to emerge from their bodies, hard Immediately the ground was covered with blood and wounded lying down, rolling, screaming and moaning.

However, before the people who were blinded by a round of firecrackers came back to their senses, a second round of more violent blows came to their heads.

Two rows of musketeers, one squatting down and the other standing, pulled the trigger against the regiment Ding Tianyong who was in a mess not far away under the command of the battalion officer.The more dense projectiles drew tracks that could be seen by the naked eye in the humid and cold air, and rushed straight to the opposite human body.

The trajectories one after another, starting from the gorgeous and beautiful gunfire, to the blood mist sprayed from the bodies of the regiment Ding Tianyong on the opposite side, who staggered and were knocked to the ground, connected life and death, health and disability.

After two short and intensive rounds of blows, a large number of people in their respective main formations, which were more than a hundred steps away from the two formations, were stunned.

Wu Liuqi, who was fighting side by side with the South China Army for the first time, could hardly hold the handle of the knife in his hand, "It turns out that the firecracker can still be used like this!"

Yang Zhen, who was beside him, almost didn't dare to look at Wang Jin who advocated to be caressed that day.If he had fought against the Nanzhong army that day, he would be the one who was dealt with by Nanzhong with firecrackers and projectiles today!

And in such a short period of time, such a scene of being hit by such intensive and powerful firepower has never been seen by the group of "natives" in Taoyuan Taisha.Whether it was the archers who were wiped out at the front, or the swordsmen who had suffered more than half of their casualties, they were all dumbfounded, as if they had been immobilized by someone, with only the never-ending sound of firecrackers in their ears .

"put"

Soon, the firecrackers in the fourth row stepped forward and pulled the trigger towards the regiment members who were messing around like headless flies.

The deafening volley of guns rang out again.

With the spurt of gunpowder smoke, hundreds of people standing in the opposite formation were knocked down again. Body fluids such as the blood and brains of the shot dead were steaming on the ground, and the wounded fell to the ground one by one holding their wounded The wailing of the limbs could not be stopped, and the sound that came out was not human.

At a distance of less than forty steps between the two armies, it is the best range of the firecracker, whether it is accuracy or lethality.As long as you are hit by a projectile, you will immediately have a big hole in your body.Several people who were shot in the chest and abdomen were beaten so that their viscera leaked out. The blue-purple intestines and dark red liver flowed out soundlessly. I kept busy, just wanting to stuff these viscera back into the abdominal cavity.

A gust of wind blew away and dispersed the smoke that filled the air above the positions of the two armies, and also presented the bloody smell, tragic scene, and helpless wailing of the wounded to everyone in Taoyuan Grand Shrine.Looking at those uncles and brothers who fell to the ground and howled miserably not far away, their blood dripping, mutilated limbs, and bloody horror, the people who were lucky to be uninjured felt a chill from the depths of their bodies, and traveled with their nerves. whole body.With the chill, the limbs began to tremble uncontrollably, and the front and back of the crotch were anxious, and some timid ones couldn't help but pour out feces and urine.

"Everyone, put on the spear!"

"kill!"

There was another loud command from the opposite side, and the densely packed firecrackers were covered with sharp spikes by the firecrackers, and the firecrackers began to slowly move towards this direction, and the remaining Tuan Ding Tian The warriors could no longer bear the fear in their hearts.Go to his ancestral hall!To go to his family field, it is more important to save your life first!They all shouted, dropped the weapons in their hands, turned their heads and fled towards the direction of the formation.

While running away, these people were still yelling, lest others would not hear them.Ding Yong, who had been terrified by the simple and effective killing just now, broke up in an instant with a bang, and fled backward like a tide. (To be continued..)
