Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 133 Bloody Battle Stalemate
This is a very ingenious device, which was once used in the defense of France during the Napoleonic period, and was widely used during the American Civil War to widely hide the trenches of fortresses. In fact, the principle is also simple. The illusion of vision can make the enemy ignore this inverted ditch, and now such ditches can still be found on the periphery of some bastions in France.

Is a ditch important?
Especially important!It is even related to the survival of an empire. The Battle of Waterloo, the biggest defeat that Napoleon suffered in his life, is said to be because the scouts ignored a ditch. When the cavalry charged because of this ditch, they failed to take down the British artillery position and lost. Napoleon's empire.

This ditch is also very important in the Funiu Mountain battlefield. In fact, the defense of the Funiu Mountain Wall is not high. For the officers and soldiers on the ground, the wall of more than one meter is a bit powerless.

For this reason, Song Qingshu connected the ditch with the wall of the village. When people arrived at the ditch from the channel under the wall of the village, they could concentrate superior forces to ambush. As soon as the swordsmen and poker players of the official army arrived, Scarface immediately ordered the defenders with heavy weapons to attack , On the spot, those knife players were overthrown.

The firecrackers, bows and arrows fired at the wall of the village, and a dense row of archers went down. Many of the official archers who were originally used as the striking force had just pulled up their bows and arrows, and a large rain of bows and arrows rained down on the spot. More than 40 people died, and these archers also collapsed after a huff. A large group of people turned around and ran away regardless of the slippage under their feet.

"Kill the official dog!"

The Funiu Mountain soldiers in the ditch were so excited that they rushed out of the ditch with a huff and beat the dogs in the water. Seeing the slow-running officers and dogs being rushed out one by one, they used hoes under their command to do it. The head wheel was round and beat hard, and there were more than 200 people chasing down the mountain, and the scar face was so anxious that the eyeballs almost popped out.

"Fuck me back! Do you want to die?"

But even the regular army can't hold back like a mule, let alone these rookies who have only been training for a month or so and have just entered the battlefield. Seeing that the army is defeated, these passionate farmers forget everything. Holding a hoe and ax as if desperately sticking to it, it was twisted out more than 100 meters in less than a moment.

Not all the officers and soldiers were praised. After suffering such a big loss, Liu Yinda was so angry that his eyes almost turned red. He drew out his knife and chopped down two deserters, and was furious at the cavalry beside him. He shouted: "I'll take care of you with enough food and wages. Today is the time to work hard for me. Draw your sword and chop off the old hats in these mountains!"

Horses are almost useless on such a steep uphill slope of Funiu Mountain. The cavalry are all on foot, but they are all wrapped in cotton armor and chain armor inside.Those Funiu Mountain defenders who had already been beaten and dizzy turned their hoes over without even thinking about it, but this time, what they encountered was a complete massacre!

Regardless of weapons, armor, speed, and strength, they are not at the same level. Before the hoe fell down, the guards had already walked around the face fiercely, and the sharp saber was slashing at the chest. In the muffled sound like cutting pork, Horrific bloody gashs suddenly bloomed in his chest. A Funiu Mountain garrison had his heart cut in half, and he knelt on the ground with a dazed face. Beside him, another Funiu Mountain peasant soldier was holding his half-broken arm that was spurting blood. Screaming desperately.

The situation was reversed in an instant, more than 30 peasant soldiers were chopped to the ground, and the rest immediately lost their morale, turned around and ran away, where they could get the meat in front of them and escape, leading the soldiers, Liu Yinda laughed wildly again He chased after him, holding the sharp blade behind his back, and the corpses of the peasant soldiers stabbed to death in the back fell down one by one on the side of the road like slaughtered livestock in a slaughterhouse.

However, just when Liu Yinda seemed to have gone mad with murder and just slashed blindly, a sudden loud bang hit the center of the helmet on his forehead, like a giant clock hit by a hammer. That way, the buzzer stunned the killer.

Seeing those soldiers retreating back with Liu Yinda in their arms, Song Qingshu couldn't help taking back the firecracker depressedly. He was used to playing headshots in his previous life, but he couldn't get a headshot even ten times. results.

In fact, the confrontation between the two sides is not big, there are only more than 1000 officers and soldiers and more than 1000 bandits, but the more this kind of small war, the greater the intensity!This Liu Yinda had just retreated, when the officers and soldiers from behind surged up again, and the overwhelming array of bows, crossbows, arrows and muskets hit him head-on, Song Qingshu hurriedly lowered his head in a panic, and Li Fa just lay on the ground with his head in his arms, a **** ** Facing the officers and soldiers, I don't know what kind of tactics it is. Li Wenjin, a dude, simply ouched, and wanted to run down, but was held down by the stupid man who was looking at him.

More than a hundred people shrank their heads, but Li Bao'er, a crazy woman, didn't even move, she was still standing there so lifeless. Song Qingshu had just avoided the fire, and suddenly saw this woman directly facing several bows and arrows. Song Qingshu Hun'er almost didn't get scared, subconsciously threw her down with a bounce, but it was still half a step late, with a puff, a powerful long arrow pierced through Song Qingshu's back, and then pierced through the silly girl's shoulder. When they came out, the two of them fell to the ground like wearing candied haws.

"The master!"

"Fool!"

Erdan Wang and Hongniang Xing, who were guarding the wall, rushed over almost at the same time, unable to get up on the ground, Song Qingshu hurriedly shouted: "I'm fine, keep firing, hit me!" Distracted, listening to Song Qingshu full of anger , Those musketeers and crossbowmen hurriedly turned around to reload their weapons, and fought back with ping-pong-pong.

The knife cut off the arrow with a click, and amidst Song Qingshu's screams, Xing Hongniang grabbed the arrow and pulled it out, which could be regarded as separated. Even so, Xing Hongniang still threw the arrow aside annoyed: "Fortunately, it's not a dirty arrow, Otherwise, you will be poisoned to death!"

Fortunately, no bones were injured, Song Qingshu also slapped his hands in anger: "You silly bitch, you almost killed me..."

But this slap didn't go down after all, it's rare that this woman finally showed a bit of what a woman should look like, the pain and fear made Li Bao'er bit her lip and turned her head, her charming fox eyes were tightly closed , Song Qingshu, who was reading it, was stunned for a moment, and finally ouched, and hurried back to the gate of the village.

In such a short time, the official army has already handed over the peasant army, and the official army has an absolute advantage!Even those soldiers who can't get paid as adults are still soldiers!The gunmen in front came up and stabbed them with spears like a forest. The peasant army who had retreated behind the trench had to hold hoes, mess with their heads, and stand awkwardly. Inside the pit.

Another firecracker was reloaded, and the man was about to hit, but was held down by Song Qingshu violently, and at the same time screamed vigorously: "Listen to my order, don't hit yet!"

Some used Song Qingshu's flintlock guns, while others robbed the government's bird guns. The reloading speed was obviously different. Song Qingshu gritted his teeth and ignored the screams below. He waited for everyone to reload, and then let out a loud roar The gun came out of the stack and slammed against the bottom.

Crackling, crackling sounds like roasted beans sounded densely, and a dozen pikemen who were holding spears in their hands fell down at once. The volley of muskets still caused casualties, and the impact of this wave of officers and soldiers collapsed directly.

Seeing that the Ming army retreated like a flood, he was relieved to have a new scar on his face, but he didn't relax, but quickly raised his spear and shouted: "Forget about your bloody feud!" Already? Team up! Let’s go out and fight with the officers and soldiers!”

Almost all those guarding the ditch outside the gate escaped from the bottom of the mountain, and most of them had blood feuds with the officers and soldiers. The onslaught just now stunned them, and some were repelled, as if they wanted to flee back to the stockade, but Scar With the face shouting like this, the hatred once again aroused morale, and there were about 400 more, and they gathered together again with a whoosh.

The actual combat just now proved that the trench warfare method is not a last resort when dealing with the Ming army who is good at using long spears. Scarface ordered, Zhao Liuzi and other captains yelled to calm down the peasant army of God, and lined up outside the trench again.

At this time, fifty or sixty officers and soldiers were killed and wounded, but the casualties of the peasant army had reached hundreds, and many people were missing. farm tools.Back to the foot of the mountain to rest for a while, looking at the mountain, Liu Yinda spat bloody saliva again, rubbed his hands and cursed: "Did you see, just a group of fucking peasants rushed up and killed them, silver, woman , it’s all yours!”

But at this time, Hong Chengchou had already retreated a little, looked at the mountains and frowned, shaking his head in a murmur: "Defend by the city, firearms above the city, Chen soldiers below the city, the tactics of Liaodong Governor Yuan, the great victory of Ningyuan is How did he know that it happened like that?"

While talking, more than 900 Ming troops rushed up the hillside shouting again like a flood.

"Grab women! Grab money!" shouted excitedly, red eyes holding spears and knives appeared in the hands of the peasant army again, hands trembling at this time, Scarface also raised the spear, loudly Shouting the battle cry: "Defend the folks behind us, protect our potato fields, and defend Funiu Mountain!"

The scene in the morning seemed to come to mind again. The egg in the belly, the leather jacket on the body, and the added clothes seemed to heat up again, and the bottom of my heart was full of strength again. There was an incomparable roar.

"Defend Funiu Mountain!!!"

A team in neat cloth face armor, holding big knives and spears, and a team wearing various ragged cotton-padded jackets, holding sickles and axes, one with nine hundred and one with four hundred, the Funiu Mountain Peasant Army has only a slight advantage of slope. Seeing that the two phalanxes are so unequal in strength, and seeing that bright red blood flowers are about to collide again, smashing one side to pieces, but at this moment, the sound of crackling gunfire once struck the formation of the two armies. front rang.

This time, in a row!
