Vow to die at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 181 Going North ([-])

A quarter of an hour later, reinforcements from the Tazi Prefecture finally arrived.I saw dust and sand rising not far away, flag shadows flickering, and a large group of enemies approaching.

"Be alert!" Officers at all levels ordered their subordinates to be on alert at all times and wait for orders.

Under the orders of the officers, the shield bearers erected their shields, the archers raised their bows and arrows, and the spearmen also gripped their spears tightly.

When the Tartars came two hundred paces before the first camp, they stopped.The generals led by the Tartars were shocked when they saw so many troops in the first battalion.During the march, he underestimated the enemy and rushed forward, and did not spread out widely, because he thought that even if the bandits captured Yingshang County, they would probably be busy searching the whole city.But he didn't expect that the bandits would go out of the city to fight him in the field, so he didn't know the strength of the bandits until now.

"There are so many bandits? No wonder you dare to fight against the imperial court, and dare to go out of the city to fight with the imperial army. Hmph, if you stick to the city, you still have a way to survive, now, hum!" .

In the past few years, Yingzhou Mansion has not been peaceful. There are many rebels and rebellions. Tens of thousands of soldiers and generals have also led the team to wipe out them. Naturally, they don't take the first battalion seriously.The only thing that surprised him was that the first battalion did not honestly guard the city and waited for him to lead the team to conquer it, but instead went out of the city to fight against himself, which made it hard for him to understand.

However, since he went out of the city to fight in the field, it could be regarded as saving himself effort.

"Loyalty to the imperial court and eradicate the rebellion! Kill!" the general shouted.

Although the first battalion conquered Yingshang County, although the first battalion had a large number of people, it was nothing in the eyes of the generals.Although the troops in my hands are the defenders of the Green Battalion, they are also defenders with rich combat experience.

"Kill!"

Under the command of the general, the Tartar soldiers rushed forward with shouts.The team is disorganized, and the offensive formation is chaotic, all driven by the elite soldiers.This method of warfare is to inspire one's courage with the blood in the heart, and then forget about it and fight until victory or defeat.

With such a simple tactics, the generals have won countless victories against those rebels.In his eyes, the First Battalion was just like those rebels. It would be good to be able to hold the weapon tightly after washing the muddy legs for a few days. I am afraid that seeing the head falling off and the torso falling apart will be frightening.

The general's heart is full of self-confidence, as long as he rushes over to intertwine with these gangsters, then he will win.Although the general also saw the wooden stakes in front of the bandits, he thought that this thing was just an obstacle, just like rejecting a horse. Most of them were infantry and were not afraid of this.

In fact, many battles in this era are also extremely simple. Strategically, they pay attention to maneuvering outflanking, encircling, robbing, encircling and attacking points, but tactically, most of them just bite the bullet and rush through. Knock it down and you win.

With the experience of winning many battles, the general is very confident.

When the Tartars approached the distance of fifty paces, the officers in front of the formation all shouted: "Get ready!"

When the Tartars approached thirty paces, the officers ordered: "Archers, shoot!"

As a result, hundreds of bows and arrows were shot out in unison. When the archer shot out the arrow branch in his hand, he quickly put on the arrow branch and opened the bow to shoot arrows, forming an endless rain of arrows.

Holding the idea that rushing forward is victory, the Tartars braved the rain of arrows and rushed forward, but when they reached twenty steps in front of the formation, the wooden stakes on the ground slowed down their speed. The lethality of bows and arrows is even greater.

Seeing the heavy casualties of his subordinates, the general was shocked. When did the bandits have so many bows and arrows?
It's just that now is the time when morale is high. If they withdraw, the morale will be drained, and the following battles will not be easy to fight.

"Go! Put the flag up!"

For these rebels, the generals have their own method of extermination, that is, the first attack must be swift and fierce, and these so-called rebels must be defeated like a tiger fighting a rabbit, so that they can regain their true colors as bandits, and then flee in all directions.

The densely packed crowd exuded a powerful murderous aura holding their knives and guns. Such a situation was very frightening.It's just that the general misjudged the situation and his opponent.

In Chen Chen's eyes, the general's self-confessed strength was nothing more than child's play. Just the wooden stakes and bows and arrows would make a tartar drink a pot.

The Tartars couldn't rush over for a while, and some brave Tartars took up their bows and arrows and shot at each other.Some bows and arrows hit the shield, and some bows and arrows crossed the shield and shot at the regiment behind, causing some casualties, and also made some rookies panic.Facing the arrow branches falling from the sky, Xin Ding wanted to dodge, but there were group members on the left and right. They squeezed themselves tightly and couldn't move. They could only watch the arrow branches falling from the sky and shoot at themselves. Feeling, the feeling of death falling from the sky makes some rookies almost collapse.Although these flow arrows are not very lethal, they greatly affect morale.This is the first battle for many rookies. Fear, anxiety, and lack of self-confidence, any of these three things may make the rookie's combat effectiveness drop sharply, or even collapse.

On the battlefield, those who can perform [-]% of all things are regarded as elite, not to mention many of them are untrained rookies?Chen Chen brought them out not to let them actually fight, but to let them feel the atmosphere of the battlefield, purely for training by fighting.

Chen Chen's trump card was the hundreds of small dynamite packs.

With the shooting of the bow and arrow, the archer's physical strength was rapidly consumed, and his arms gradually became sore.The defense line of wooden stakes and bows and arrows gradually became precarious.There is a so-called one shot, three knives and six arrows on the battlefield. Facing an enemy wearing armor, bows and arrows are actually not very lethal. Bows and arrows mainly play the role of harassment, used to disrupt the enemy's formation, and then take advantage of the situation to hide and kill .But now, the First Battalion has something better to replace the role of bows and arrows.

When the Tartars rushed through the defense line of wooden stakes and bows and arrows, the spearmen behind the shield soldiers began to get busy.The spearmen standing in the front row are all old Ding. They calmly and calmly thrust their spears at the Tartars. A huge blood hole, the wound left by the triangular corner is difficult to heal unless it is sutured in time on the battlefield.Those who waited for these Tartars were slowly bleeding to death.

"Grenadier, get on!"

After receiving the order, the grenadiers squeezed through the gap and came behind the shield-bearers. These grenadiers picked up the explosive packs in their hands one after another, and lit the fuse with the fire on the Buddha incense in their hands. Throw it out with all your might.

Because the grenadier is not far from the shield and has to be thrown over the shield, the angle is a bit upward, so these explosive packages are not thrown too far.

Due to the rush of time, Chen Chen didn't test the explosives after they were made, so Chen Chen didn't know the power of these explosives.Chen Chen was also looking forward to the results of these explosive packages.

And the Tatars didn't know how to dodge the attack of these explosives. At first they thought it was the stones and dodged one after another, but when they found that the explosives hit their bodies and it didn't hurt, the Tartars stopped dodging.There were even some people who quickly took the falling explosive package from their bodies and looked at the burning fuse, but they didn't know how to deal with it.

Just like that, the fuse of the explosive pack burned out, and the explosion began.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

Dozens of loud bangs rang out in the Tartar ranks, and puffs of black smoke rose into the sky.
