open sea

Chapter 62
On the opposite side of the Xinjiang River, drums sounded on the tee, and more rebels on the official road poured out to attack the Xinjiang Bridge. The rebel army attacked the bridge on land quickly, and the fleet on the river also smashed the wreckage of the slowly sinking fishing boat to the shore. Attack from the side.

Li Yayuan is bound to win against Xinjiang Town today.

"The enemy general is on the mountain, let's bombard him!"

Bai Yuanjie didn't care whether Li Yayuan was on the other side of the hill, as long as the cannons were fired at the place where the sound of the drum came out, it would be right!
Speaking of the cannon, the battle was really at hand, otherwise Bai Yuanjie would have asked Chen Mu to come forward and reprimand him. How could the two sides have thought of transporting the cannon to the Chinese army before they fought?Deputy Bai Qianhu was very dissatisfied with the reaction of his subordinates' cronies before the battle - he was planning to escape!

No matter how much Bai Yuanjie thought about it, he couldn't understand how the banner army under Chen Mu's command, which obeyed his orders, practiced?

A group of soldiers who ordered and prohibited, a loose and timid general!
Pearl dark cast!

However, at this time, four Francophones and a bowl-mouth cannon are really useless to Bai Yuanjie, but the Dafa Cannon can really allow him to hit the mountainside where the opponent's central army is located, and immediately shoot at the cannon. The pawn ordered to bombard the mountainside non-stop with artillery.

Regardless of whether the fight is accurate, at least you must scare the opposing general and cause him some trouble.

The other five guns were all short guns with insufficient range, so Bai Yuanjie ordered Shao Tingda to bring the guns to the river beach where Chen Mu was defending.

Before the cannon arrived, the river bank was already engaged in battle.

"Get off the boat and rush to kill the officers and soldiers!"

The rebel military officer with a turban on his head and a worn-out iron armor raised his sword and shouted on the side of the ship. Hundreds of rebels jumped into the water from the boat, screaming and roaring that the defenders could not hear, wading across the river and rushing fiercely to the shore. .

As the saying goes, if there are more than a thousand people, they will talk to the sky.

Chen Mu, who was in the battle formation, glanced roughly through the shoulders of his friendly soldiers' robes, and felt that the men of the entire Ming Dynasty were rushing towards them like waves.

There are servants wearing square scarves, brocade shoes and short knives in their hands, yamen servants in leather armor and net scarves holding knives around their waists, peasants in common clothes and bare feet wielding hoes, porters with long sticks, fishermen wielding iron forks, Craftsmen with small hammers and miners were mixed in.

Of course, military households waving banners were also indispensable. These people rushed to the edge of the formation of Deng Zilong's battalion in front of them without any formation, and fought fiercely in one place.

In terms of fierce style, they are not inferior to the battalion soldiers.Even in the absence of long-range weapons and disorganization, it can still bring terrible casualties to the battalion. Although this is done at a heavier cost of their own casualties, it is enough to make everyone frightened.

The longbows were shot and the birds were fired together. Although the battalion suffered dozens of casualties in an instant, their positions were still as stable as Mount Tai. Following Deng Zilong's tacit cooperation from Jiangxi to Guangdong, the quick guns were poked out from the gaps in the long cards, and bursts of gunpowder smoke rose on the front lines. At the front, relying on firearms and longbows to slowly and orderly kill the enemy one after another.

The rebels have nothing, they are not even better than the hundreds of rebels on Beishan in terms of armor.

Deng Zilong stood at the back of the formation, this time he did not lead his subordinates to charge, but stayed firmly in the rear and commanded the battalion under his command.Although Chen Muqi also went to the riverside to stand by, but there were not enough staff. Some went to send cannons to Bai Yuanjie, and some sent messages to Wu Duan. Counting the courage of the village, there were hundreds of people, and it was difficult to form an effective combat force. Deng Zilong stayed in the Chinese army Don't send it, just pick a few quick legs to serve as the order.

Deng Zilong said: "Although there are many enemy troops, their stamina is insufficient. Kill him three to five hundred people and tell him to go back to the river!"

Chen Mu could also see this point. Although the rebels had 3000 to [-] people, they were unorganized. It seemed that they only got a military order to attack. As long as the defenders could hold on to the river bank for a moment, once the enemy suffered too many casualties, they would retreat back to the river. At that time, the pursuit will be a one-sided massacre.

"Mr. Chen's flag army is ready with rockets and obeys orders."

Following Deng Zilong's order, the hundred tigers galloped to the rear of the formation by the flag army, and several flag soldiers on the left held two boxes and swarmed to wait for the formation.This is exactly what Chen Mu thought. In terms of the art of war, it is said that the right combination and the odd victory-it is a dignified formation that will bring lasting casualties to the enemy until the morale is on the verge of collapse.And strange, it is a huge casualty that was unexpected in a short period of time.

Nearly [-] rockets fired instantly are the weapons in Deng Zilong's hands that can get closest to this goal.

The Chinese army ordered the flag to be unfurled, and when Deng Zilong dispatched troops, although the former army battalion was only a few hundred sergeants, under the impact of thousands of enemy troops who landed, they used trenches and wooden barriers to hold down their positions.However, the enemy army is powerful after all, and gradually forms a crescent-shaped suppression from the two sides and edges that the defenders cannot completely block.

But Deng Zilong didn't realize it, he pointed at the enemy boat by the river and said, "All the enemy troops have disembarked, now drive them back to the river! Mr. Chen, Mr. Deng has two orders. When I hear the order later, I will rush to destroy the Chinese army with a hundred tigers, and it will be a big deal to charge with the army... It's terrible!"

Deng Zilong, who had been sure of winning, suddenly changed his face halfway through his words. Chen Mu followed his gaze and saw that the situation on the battlefield had not changed. All of a sudden, he saw that the enemy ships stopped sending troops and quickly rowed towards the center of the river. Hundreds of ships were divided into dozens One headed towards the warship of the Barbarian Battalion, and the rest were speeding in the same direction as they came, looking like a mouse seeing a cat.

"This……"

Chen Mu thought this was a good thing!The enemy general fled with the fleet when he saw that he could not win quickly, but why was Deng Zilong so frightened and angry?Then I heard Deng Zilong roaring with his sword raised.

"Chen Zongqi, hurry up and let the tigers run together! Don't let them find out that the boat has left, hurry up!"

A swarm of bees shot at the enemy on the edge of the two wings. More than 30 rockets fired indiscriminately. The rebels who crowded the front on the right wing were immediately beaten, and more than 20 people were killed and wounded by more than a dozen battalions who rushed up immediately. The formation was shot out of the gap in the blink of an eye.

The results of the battle on the left wing were not satisfactory. When the swarm shot out, three rebels pounced on them. Two of them were shot into hedgehogs by the rocket within five steps away. In the formation, the rest of the rockets flew indiscriminately, and immediately the swarm of flag troops were smashed to the ground by the rebels' knives and axes.

But the Chinese army lived up to their expectations, and the shield hands holding the long cards dodged from both sides of the center, revealing the ferocious faces of a hundred tigers running together, and a hundred rockets flew out in an instant, shooting down three of their own battalion soldiers who could not dodge, and then nearly a hundred rockets It dragged out a scream and pierced into the densest enemy formation, and then burst into pieces of gunpowder smoke.

Looking from the central army, half of the enemy's formation was shrouded in gunpowder smoke.

The gunpowder smoke comes and goes quickly, and when the gunpowder smoke clears, the battalion soldiers in the eyes of the rebels already look different.

The battalion soldiers with long shields and shields flashed out their right-hand goose feather sabers, and the fast gunners behind them had already installed their spearheads and rushed forward from the side of the shield holders.

In the rear, Deng Zilong held a banner in his hand and pointed his sword at him, shouting orders to lead his followers to the battlefield.

"Chen Zongqi leads the army to oversee the army, and those who turn back will be killed without mercy; the battalion obeys the order-force them into the river, and leave no one behind!"
