Vow to die at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 277 The Second Eastern Expedition ([-])
"Kill! Go!"

"Be loyal to the prince, die for the prince!"

"Ahh! Die!"

After Wang Xiao led his troops out of the city, he came all the way to the bandit camp five miles away, and rushed up with his subordinates.

Most of the 1 troops are not Wang Xiao's headquarters. Wang Xiao is only a lieutenant general with limited troops.Because of this, Wang Xiao's prestige is also limited, so he can only barely lead the troops to disperse.When he came outside the bandit camp, it was difficult for Wang Xiao to control the ladder attack, so he ordered the soldiers and horses to attack together.

When Wang Xiao left the city with his troops, Lin Jiawang already knew about it.At this moment, the camp has just demarcated the scope and has not yet constructed it, and the fence has not been erected. It can be said that the May [-]st column has no support when fighting at this moment.However, Lin Jiawang has an arrogance in his heart. Unlike other officers, he likes to play defensive battles. Lin Jiawang likes to play offensive battles.On weekdays, Lin Jiawang practiced counterattacks, but now he felt that his chance had come.

Of course, although Lin Jiawang likes to attack, he is by no means a fool. Since he can take advantage of defense, Lin Jiawang still likes to take advantage of it.

Now two of the six brigades under Lin Jiawang's command are gunfire soldiers. Lin Jiawang doesn't like firearms very much.Like Zhang Chengwu, Lin Jiawang was also a former Ming sergeant.Lin Jiawang hated the firearms that often exploded.Fortunately, the security team promoted the status of craftsmen, adopted the working hours system, coupled with strong R&D investment and strict quality management, which reduced the bombing rate.However, limited by the current level of technology, this explosion still happens from time to time.In addition, there are many restrictions on the use of firearms, so Lin Jiawang still likes cold weapons, and his direct brigade is an army of pure cold weapons.

However, Qiu Tianxing knew that the development of firearms was a historical trend, so the security team gradually began to increase the rate of firearms possession.Lin Jiawang is also aware of the use of firearms, but the gunners have no sense of security when fighting. They often shoot outside the range, and even when the enemy approaches, the gunners are at a loss. The cumbersome use process easily makes the gunners error.The reason for all this is that the gunner's ability to resist pressure is not strong.So in order to prevent this from happening, Lin Jiawang equipped some large shields and asked the gunners to stand behind the shields and shoot.This way the effect is better, but it is easy to be restrained by the Tartars' cannons.

Fortunately, this time Wang Xiao came out in a hurry without any cannon, Lin Jiawang was temporarily relieved.

When Wang Xiao's subordinates shouted to charge, Lin Jiawang had already set up his formation.The first row of shield soldiers, the second row to the fourth row are the firecrackers, the second row is the shooter of the firecrackers, the third row is the delivery hand, the fourth row is the loader, and the back is the spearmen and bows hand.Although Lin Jiawang didn't like the firecrackers, he still let the firecrackers play the front line.

When Jin Li's subordinates approached thirty steps outside the camp, they were blocked by trenches one after another.While the enemy was in a daze, the firecrackers fired bullets with bang bang.Not long after, gunpowder smoke rose and the eyes of the firecracker were smothered with tears.The sight of the battlefield was blocked, but at this moment the gunfire soldiers continued to do their usual training.

The large shield and the dense gunpowder calmed the nervousness of the gunfire soldier, but after a dozen continuous shots, the shields made a loud collision sound.It turned out that the gunpowder smoke also prevented Jin Li's subordinates from seeing death. Although they heard loud noises in their ears, they could not see anything. When the shallow ditch was filled up by the corpses of their companions, they rushed forward desperately.Many people were shot and fell down along the way, but some lucky ones rushed to the big shield of the May [-]st column.After being blocked by the big shield, these people hit the big shield desperately.

After seeing this scene, Lin Jiawang asked the firecrackers to retreat, and the pikemen behind them stepped up.

At this moment, many Tartars were dumbfounded.The loud noise and the blocking of vision made them feel at a loss.Wang Xiao who was behind was also stunned. He only saw his soldiers continuously throwing themselves into the thick black smoke, but the black smoke seemed to have a magical power, no matter how many people could get in and out.At this moment, Wang Xiao also became terrified.

People are really strange animals. When the blood of the war is surging, they are not afraid of anything, and they can even drag their intestines to fight.But when he wakes up, even a little injury may scare him.At this moment, the soldiers of the Tartars were soaring with adrenaline, constantly hitting the shield of the May [-]st column.Fortunately, at this time, the gunners and pikemen completed the handover.The musketeers retreated, and the pikemen stepped forward.At the same time, the archer behind him also stood on a high place and kept shooting into the thick smoke.The shooting angle has been set before the battle, so as to avoid accidental injury as much as possible. Of course, accidental injury will definitely happen, but it can't waste the combat power of archers because of choking.

A long spear poked in the past, and a stream of blood spurted up.Most of the regiment members of the May [-]st column were veterans who fought against Hong Chengchou, but some new recruits were also added.Under the leadership of Lao Ding, Xin Ding overcame his battlefield phobia and began to grow up.Of course, not everyone can overcome it, so those who cannot overcome it will eventually be eliminated in the next battle.War is not a game, and elimination means the end of life.

Finally, the shadow of death made the Tartars wake up, and those soldiers who had not rushed into the darkness even turned around and ran away.Instead of running towards the city, they ran in all directions.Although the security regiment has an army of 30, auxiliary soldiers and civilians are often counted in the total in this era, so the security regiment can also be called a million-strong army.

Now that the army of millions of bandits is coming, returning to the city is an end of waiting for death, so some nimble-headed Tartars took the opportunity to flee in all directions. Under the leadership of these people, the rest of the people followed suit.Seeing that his subordinates collapsed, Wang Xiao himself also collapsed.So Wang Xiao drew his sword and slayed himself. At this moment, the soldiers beside him also joined in the escape, so Wang Xiao was destined not to be treated like Zeng Guofan, and no one took the sword from his hand.In this way, after the defeat, Wang Xiao committed suicide and died.With just one impact, the Tartars dropped nearly [-] corpses in front of the May [-]st column.

Jin Li and the others who were standing on the city wall watching the battle took a breath. It's only been a few years, how come the bandits are so strong?This trial made Jin Li completely desperate. He could only watch Lin Jiawang slowly build up the camp, but he never dared to send troops out of the city to attack again.

The [-] enemy troops in the city lost confidence in this battle, but Jin Li's prestige was too high, and no one dared to resist Xiancheng for a while.
