Seeing Tianyong, the leader of the Taoyuan Grand Society retreating all the way to the west, Wu Biao, Wang Jin and others couldn't help but feel a little eager to try.

Wang Jin moved to Wu Liuqi's side, "Boss, oh, brigade commander, shall we go up and fight for a while?"

Wu Liuqi's hand holding the iron bar was covered with sweat.He paused, holding up his binoculars to look towards the main formation of the Taoyuan Shrine in the west.

"Impossible! The troops of the Liu family and Guan Zhang's family have not yet moved. The most they will lose are the soldiers of the peripheral families, and their own elites have not been hit. Let's see how the district brothers will respond!"

"Brother Ang is right. Brother Ang, please take command of the central army and the troops on the two wings. I will go to the front to command, and here I have to move forward to make room for the luggage on the mountain. Don't let us Our luggage team is still on the mountain, if these thieves set fire to our luggage, hehe! The cold weather is enough for us!"

Ou Dapeng made a funny face at Wu Liuqi, rode his horse and led the people to follow up with the pace of the forward's attack.Wu Liuqi was left to command the central army and the two wings to move forward slowly, making room for the guards and luggage stranded on the mountain.

"Okay, I finally came out of this hanging place!"

Ou Dapeng looked back, the flags of the transport team on the mountain road began to move, and one after another, transport vehicles and cooking vehicles appeared on the flat ground at the foot of the mountain.

During the fierce battle just now, what he was most worried about was that the Taoyuan Dashe group of stubborn locals, taking advantage of their familiarity with the terrain, suddenly appeared from an unknown position at the parking position of the transport team.Not to mention robbing the luggage, but burning the food, grass, military equipment and ammunition with one fire, and you will be in a dilemma.

Now that the stone hanging in his heart has fallen to the ground smoothly, he can deal with the enemy in front of him without distraction.

Under the command of the battalion officer, the soldiers and horses of the fourth battalion still lined up in four rows and chased and killed them slowly but under great pressure in the direction of Taoyuan Taisha's collapse.As long as a small group of regiment Ding Tianyong stopped and planned to organize the team, the gunners here would pounce forward and make a move forward on the entire front.

On the opposite side of the Taoyuan Grand Shrine's military formation, a few ox horns sounded dully, followed by a loud and clear gong. "The leader has an order! All the families and horses bypass from both sides! Anyone who dares to attack the formation will be killed without mercy!"

After the roar.Dozens of firecrackers blare into the sky.It is a reminder and a demonstration.Only then did the defeated soldiers wake up from a dream. Two streams of people formed behind the horses of the leaders of the three families to pass through the two sides of the main formation of the three families.

"The tricks of the Nanzhong Army are nothing more than that! Relying on firearms, Lier! Now they are chasing and killing the teams of the other seven families. The formation is scattered. The guns can't be done with a volley. Although there are guns and swords on the guns, what can they do? Use? Children! Go up and teach them a lesson with spears and big knives! Learn what it means for a strong dragon not to overwhelm a snake!"

Following Liu Tingan's roar, the basic troops of the three families, nearly two thousand swordsmen, began to meet the chasing troops of the South Central Army.

Thirty steps. 25 steps, twenty steps.

The regiment members of the Taoyuan Grand Society could already see clearly the facial features and features of the soldiers of the Southern Central Army on the opposite side. The pikemen began to move the spears in their hands, and rotated them slightly to find the best position. After a while, they prepared to It was used to pierce the heads and throats of those guys on the opposite side.

However, at a distance of twenty steps, a brass horn sounded again, and the people who had been running in small steps stopped immediately, and a human wall stood quietly in front of the regiment members.

"These bumpkins are going to play swords and guns with us, so let's give him some spicy food!"

The three shots just now had already disintegrated the Wai Qi family's team.However, on average, each gunner fired only one gun.According to the military law of the Nanzhong Army, if the barrel of the gun does not heat up after firing a gun on the battlefield, the battle is not over and it must be reloaded.Get ready for the next launch.

Just before the bayonet charge, almost all the musketeers completed this action.

"Raise the gun! Let it go!"

This time, there was no advance test firing of the first column.Instead, the first two rows squatted and stood, firing at the same time.After they pulled the trigger, the blunderbuss roared and sprayed out flaming white smoke, setting off the projectiles to fly to the opposite side. After that, the guards issued the command, "The first two rows, three steps forward, sit down!"

Regardless of observing their own results, the gunners took three steps forward holding their guns and sat down on the ground.

"The last two columns, raise the guns! Fire!!"

Shooting in two rows is equivalent to the gunners of the four battalions in front of me firing a gun towards the opposite side in two batches. No matter how poor the hit rate is, even at a distance of more than ten steps, the bullets are not in vain. .

"Go up and give them some damage with the bayonet!"

Ou Dapeng saw that the scene just now was repeated in the opposite army formation, if you don't do anything now while you are sick and killing you, when will you wait?

"kill!"

The gunfire soldiers charged the array of swordsmen in front of them with their bayonets upright.

The regiments, who had been beaten by two rounds of intensive firecrackers and almost lost their formation, had not had time to wake up from the screams and wailing of their companions when the bayonets of the Nanzhong Army were handed over to them.

The Nanzhong Army tacitly adopted the consistent tactic of "fighting more and fighting less", using armor as a unit to stare at several swordsmen and pikemen, and after that, one army dealt with one.

The thorns shone with a cold metal light, and the gunners thrust out with all their strength, with angles, speeds, and positions, all as vicious and tricky as poisonous snakes.As the bludgeon stabbed out, there was a heart-piercing scream.

Eyes, throat, chest, wherever the gunjabs are directed, are all fatal spots. With the tacit cooperation of the musketeers, almost every shot will never miss. It's blood.

In the past, the guards of the Han Dynasty started their family affairs by stabbing with spears. Over the years, they have fought in the north and south. Although the cannons have made great achievements and the firearms are powerful, the army still believes that a man with a long spear is a good man.Although the socket bayonet replaced the position of the pikemen, most of the pikemen were converted into firearms.But these people's skills are still there, not only did they not lose it, on the contrary, after learning that firecrackers can be popular with bayonets, these people put more energy into practicing spear skills.

At the beginning of joining the army, he practiced spear skills hard, and each time he stabbed no less than a thousand times, within dozens of steps, he could hit the target's heart, eyes, throat and other vital parts.Accurate and ruthless, plus a set of assassination moves compiled by Taoist Liu Guidan that day.The most important thing is to pay attention to pace, queue and coordination.In the Nanzhong Army, an army that has always paid attention to formations, it is even more suitable.They were well-equipped, and the backbone members of the regiment who held spears and believed that they were proficient in Yang's spear, Jiang's spear, Ma's spear and other marksmanship genres did not pay attention to formation footwork when fighting.Even without the two rounds of gunfire salvos, they might not be their opponents.not to mention.After two rounds of intensive fire, one-third of the regiment members had already become dead bodies.

"It's over! I thought that the officers and soldiers relied on firearms, but. But, we were wrong! Big mistake!"

Liu Tingan watched as the backbone of the two thousand regiments that he relied on to gallop across the northeastern part of Guangdong were knocked over half with firecrackers, and then drove and massacred them like ducks with blunderbusses. Tears welled up in his eyes. .

The two lines of old tears were blown by the cold wind mixed with the smell of gunpowder smoke and blood, and screams and groans, Liu Tingan felt even more desolate.

Compared with those elite regiment members of the same clan, the gunners of the South China Army looked more fierce and tenacious.Against them, no matter how good the marksmanship is, they will not have the slightest advantage.The firecracker and the short spearhead waved in their hands like a poisonous snake, and the shots were completely reckless and fierce.The location is precise and the speed is amazing.Even if both sides fired their guns at the same time, they would still be able to penetrate each other's vital parts first.

And these Nanzhong troops paid great attention to cooperation. Even if the regiments stabbed them with a spear and stabbed their bodies, before they could kill their opponents for joy, they were pierced through the ribs by the left and right guns.Often such regiments were picked up by soldiers of the South Central Army with bludgeon thrusters and thrown back fiercely.Afterwards, several people pounced on them, stabbing the head, face, throat and other vital parts with guns until they were smashed into a honeycomb by random guns.

With the help of binoculars, Liu Tingan discovered that under the strict formation of the opponent, although his own side was skilled in marksmanship and swordsmanship, when he was really fighting for his life on the battlefield, he often found it very sad that the heroes could not hold back the crowd. A spear needs to be attacked from different positions and angles by several gunshots from the opponent.

Especially when fighting close to the body, the pikemen's long spears become in the way, it is difficult to turn around, and they need space to maneuver, and they are pale and powerless in the face of relatively short firecrackers.

After the firecrackers equipped with socket bayonets fought against the long spears for a while, the regiments began to show signs of collapse. These Nanzhong troops were simply too terrifying. Not only were the firecrackers and artillery powerful, but the battle was also so fierce and tenacious.The members of the regiment had already suffered more than half of the casualties under the intensive fire of the South China Army. When people fought with each other, they would step on the dead and wounded everywhere. .

This kind of military organization formed by family blood is of course united internally and externally, but it also has its drawbacks.This kind of disadvantage is that when they have to constantly sacrifice their lives for victory, they face brothers, nephews, and uncles in the clan who fall in front of and beside them. The moaning and howling, the blood they bleed, forming small puddles on the cold winter ground, these all stimulated the nerves of the regiment members and impacted their psychological endurance.

Just as the members of the Taoyuan Taisha were fighting repeatedly psychologically, whether they should continue to fight until they became dead or wounded, or run away like those guys from the Waiqi family, the last straw that crushed their nerves It finally fell down.

Suddenly the trumpets of the Southern Central Army array sounded, and the soldiers who were still fighting with the members of the Taoyuan University Society just now stabbed a little bit with their blunderbuss, jumped out of the circle one after another, and retreated alternately under cover.Before the members of the regiment breathed a sigh of relief and cheered for victory, they heard the high-pitched and passionate sound of the South China Army's center horns, and another layer of musketeers rushed over with their thorns straight, shouting.

"The leader!"

The patriarch of the Zhang family advocates Tingyu, which fits the real image of Zhang Fei in history, a white horse scholar.However, the [-] blunderbuss soldiers of the Taoyuan Grand Society were under his command, and he was also a man of promise in the Taoyuan Grand Society.

"Mingjin! Let the disciples in front withdraw, and my gunners line up by the Meijiang River to resist for a while. Let the brigade retreat along the Shekeng Ruins! We can't fight here any longer! Leave it to the clan. some seeds!"

"Yes! Leader! Withdraw!"

"We can't beat them in the field battle, and it's not a shame. Their Nanzhong Army is an official army, and they fight in the field! Let's go back, clear the field, rely on the fortress, and wait until they run out of food and retreat before accepting recruits." yes!"

A gong sounded, and the members of the Taoyuan Grand Society, who were struggling to support the stabbing and killing with the Nanzhong Army, retreated alternately under cover.

It was able to preserve the basic organizational system and command system under the three-axed tactics of the South China Army's artillery bombardment, firecracker shooting, and bayonet assault, although it was defeated.But grassroots officers can still control the troops.The combat power of Taoyuan Taisha is far stronger than many troops that the South China Army has encountered in the past.

Even compared to the frontier army on the Nine Frontiers, this army built on the basis of clan ties is no different.

"This team is good!"

From the binoculars, I saw the formation of the Taoyuan Taisha retreating, and the various banners that were still stubbornly carried in the team.Ou Dapeng couldn't help but praise him sincerely.

but.Praise is praise.For the opponent, it is still necessary to pursue the victory.

Wu Liuqi, who was beside him, looked at the members of the Taoyuan Grand Society retreating towards the Shekeng Market, and the corpses of the soldiers and horses lying on the battlefield, their guns and flags broken.There are also those wounded who couldn't help howling after being hit by the projectile but wanted to die quickly, just inhaling hard.On the contrary, Wu Biao, who was standing beside him, shouted excitedly: "Good fight! Great fight! Our army is mighty!"

Ou Dapeng put away his binoculars, and cupped his hands towards Wu Liuqi, "The enemy army is retreating, and the matter of chasing the enemy army, cleaning the battlefield, and dealing with the wounded will bother Boss Wu."

Wu Liuqi and the others, who were worrying about how to prevent the Sixth Security Brigade from stealing all the limelight, immediately smiled: "Brigade Commander, you are welcome! You have finished the tough battle, and the pursuit is naturally one of our duties." thing!"

"Wang Jin, Wu Biao!"

"exist!"

"The two of you each lead a group of troops on the left and right wings, and chase them separately! Wang Jin led the left wing to chase first, and Wu Biao led the right wing to slowly approach behind! The two divisions will rotate within a limit of ten miles! This general will lead the brigade's guards in the center to support! Yang Zhenyin and the rest of the troops are responsible for cleaning the battlefield! Rescue the wounded, count and seize them!"

Amid the whistling sound, Wang Jin led a group of troops from the new left-wing brigade into the battlefield just now, chasing and killing the small group of scattered militia soldiers wandering around the battlefield and those scattered regiment Ding Tianyong.

They had just served as guards on the two wings, and they had been recharging their energy. They were already full of energy, and the chasing and retreating defeated the enemy was of the nature of beating a dog in the water. How could this not make them excited and their morale high?The whole brigade has long been very grateful for Wu Liuqi's decision to join the South China Army.

"kill!"

Outside the Shekeng Ruins in winter, the vast land is full of people running and howling.

Seeing the Nanzhong Army brigade chasing and killing those scattered small teams at Taoyuan Taisha, how could they have the energy and courage to distinguish whether it was the Nanzhong Army or the newly attached Wu Liuqi's troops?Just run for your life!Along the way, they kept tearing off the swords and guns in their hands and the turbans on their heads and threw them on the ground. From time to time, the outdated regiment leader Tian Yong was caught up, and he was hacked to death by the soldiers of the new brigade eager to make merit while crying and begging.

The shelling, the two rounds of gunfire, and the bayonet assault just now have already killed the courage of the Taoyuan Taisha group members. They don't know where they are thrown. The spirit and energy were replaced by the exhaustion after fighting, and the tired panting of long-distance running.

People have no heart to resist, no power to fight, where are these wolves and tigers' opponents of the Southern Central Army?

In addition, when they faced each other just now, the elite regiment members of the inner three families also suffered heavy losses in the face of the two rounds of bombardment and stabbing. Tian Yong and the members of the Waiqi family thought that they were not opponents, and they were even more terrified in their hearts.All I know is to run, run, run, to the bank of the Meijiang River, where there are musketeers covering up, cross the Meijiang River, and escape the Shekeng Ruins, and you can save your life!

On the left, right and behind them, Wu Liuqi, Wang Jin, and Wu Biao led three groups of troops, chasing and hunting the retreating team like shepherd dogs and wolves.When Wang Jin led the army to pursue and kill, Wu Biao was responsible for cleaning the battlefield, collecting the captured, treating the wounded, and taking in the prisoners.When Wang Jin's troops appeared exhausted, Wu Liuqi led hundreds of elite soldiers to rush forward, ordering Wang Jin's subordinates to go down to take a breather and take over the tasks of Wu Biao's troops. Such non-stop rotations kept the pursuit troops' physical strength and strength. fighting power.

Kankan chased to the bank of Meijiang River, Wu Liuqi waved the command flag to stop the troops from pursuing.

In front of him, Zhang Tingyu led [-] musketeers with their backs against the Meijiang River, waiting in formation.The gunners lined up in a three-fold formation common to officers and soldiers. The eight hundred gunners were divided into four divisions, three in front and one in the rear.The musketeers lit the matchlocks and looked at Wu Liuqi's team that came like a tide with indifferent eyes.

Behind them, the remnants of Taoyuan Taisha were rushing across the pontoon bridge.

In the town of Shekeng Market, there was a sound of chickens flying and dogs jumping. The flag of Taoyuan Taisha had already left the town, leading the hastily arranged team to the west.

Just now Wu Liuqi had seen the power of the Nanzhong Army's firearms. Although the firecrackers of the Taoyuan Taisha in front of him were not in the same formation as the Nanzhong Army, their firearms should not be underestimated.

What's more, these firecrackers were either purchased from the Nanzhong Army, or they were purchased from Foshan and other places to buy fine iron and hire craftsmen to make high-quality firecrackers.

At that time, some literati wrote in their notes: "...Otherwise, I heard that in the trade between the East and the West, the barbarians only bought guns from Guangzhong. The people who sold them to the barbarians were extremely skilled, and those who made them for the government would be evil. From this point of view. , China is not willing to make Seiko ears, so it must be Seiko.”

The range and power of these guns are no less than those of the South China Army.

Wu Liuqi's face was serious, he stopped the officers around him who were eager to try, but he ordered them to line up and slowly stepped forward. (To be continued..)
