Go back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to be a soldier

Chapter 176 Suide Snatching Battle ([-])
For Guo Tianxing, of course Suide cannot be lost, the few women who were robbed by Guo Tianxing are all there, as well as his family property.Now Suide and Yichuan are the bases and base camps of these rogues, where his family is small, old and weak, as well as their robbed savings.

Now these thieves can be regarded as getting out of the mountains and forests, and live a decent life in the towns, no longer living in caves like wolves, worms and beasts, but now the government and army are going to attack Suide, which is tantamount to copying their old dens, so , How can we not be in a hurry when the stars get rewarded?Personally supervised and led 2 people to Suide like a raging fire...

The small county of Suide is not a strong city. It cannot be said that the city is high and deep. The city wall is peeling off, and the highest place is only two feet. There is no danger at all. It is unrealistic to say that there is no moat outside the city, but the moat is very narrow. , and there are only a few half ditches of stinky water that doesn't flow very much. It has been in disrepair for a long time, and with the garbage piled up, it is completely a stinky ditch for decoration.

The key is that these rogues pulled the main force out to attack Yan'an Mansion, Suide's defense was empty, leaving only a thousand people to defend the city, and the rest were some old and weak girls, who were the family members of the rogues.

Rogues also have defenses and mobile sentries outside the city.But Zu Keyong's army launched a charge as soon as they arrived. Facing the sudden arrival of the officers and soldiers, these thieves panicked. Those who were driven into the city, and those who did not have time to enter the city were beheaded and killed outside the city.

Zu Keyong brandished a big axe, and two thousand cavalry were like a rolling stream of iron. They rushed to the bottom of the city with a single charge, forcing all the guarding soldiers into the city, and swept away all the bandits and obstacles outside. Where the thieves guarding the city dare to fight, they can only close the city gate like a cat and mouse, and then send someone for help.

"Take down Suide, go!"

Zu Keyong took the lead, and 2000 people launched a fierce attack on Suide City.Bows, arrows, and firecrackers fired at the same time, and the thieves in the city were beaten so hard that they couldn't lift their heads. Those who were shot by arrows and guns were countless, and their heads were cut off one after another, and blood splashed on the city wall.

Zu Keyong galloped across the moat, swung his big axe, clicked the ax a few times, the wall door was cut down, and two thousand cavalry swarmed in.

The thieves guarding the city became even more frightened when they saw it. They ran wildly, regardless of the city, their homes, and their belongings. They ran around the streets like mice.Most of the thousand thieves were killed or injured, only a small number of lucky thieves escaped from another city, and some, together with the thieves' female family members, chose to abandon their weapons as prisoners.

The difference from other Ming armies is that this official army does not kill and surrender. Whether it is a thief or a kind and innocent people in the city, there is no one and no time to verify and identify them. If they are enemies, they will be able to survive.This is of course due to Ji Dong's military order.

Therefore, Zu Keyong's men quickly seized Suide, and the casualties of the officers and soldiers were only a dozen or so.

Zu Keyong was very happy. He didn't expect the battle to be so smooth and the price he paid was so small. It turned out to be a tough battle. He didn't expect these thieves to be so vulnerable, and the small town of Suide was simply within reach.As soon as Master Lin leads the brigade to arrive, he can encircle and suppress the large number of thieves who harassed Yan'an Mansion.

Zu Keyong was happy in his heart, and the arrogance of the brave generals of the Guan Ning Army was naturally revealed. He pursed his lips and immediately issued an order to clean up the battlefield.Those who carried corpses, those who picked up knives and guns, those who watched thieves and captives, those who washed blood for sanitation, were ready to welcome Ji Dong's brigade into the city.

At this moment, people shouted in the distance, and countless people came rushing forward.One look at the formation and you can tell that it is not the army led by Lin Yi, but Man Tian Xing leading 2 thieves to arrive. All kinds of flags cover the sky and the sun, and people and horses are overwhelming, like a torrential wave, rolling over the ground.Thousands of horses galloped, and the ground trembled under their feet.

The 2 people from Guotianxing rushed to march for Suide, and some stragglers joined them halfway, saying that Suide had been taken down by the army. Guotianxing was shocked and annoyed. Today, either the fish died or the net was broken. He put all his eggs in one basket, he had to snatch Suide back, and kill all the officers and soldiers.

"My lord, the thieves are powerful, hurry up and close the city." A confidant general of Zu Keyong suggested.What he meant was to defend the city first, wait for Ji Dong's brigade to arrive, and then kill them together.

Zu Keyong glared, "Shut up the city, no matter how many thieves there are, they are still soldiers of ants. It's just in time to save Mr. Lin from encircling and suppressing them. There is no need to shut down the city after I kill them all. , Formation outside the city gate to meet the enemy."

"No." Zu Keyong ordered only a thousand cavalry to line up outside the city, and ordered the city gate to be opened wide, leaving a thousand cavalry to be in charge of a thousand generals, not to let them guard the city, but to Let them do what they should do in the city. Now the main thing is to guard the prisoners, clean up, and welcome their commander-in-chief, Lin Yi, into the city.Because Ji Dong's brigade was about to arrive, Zu Keyong didn't even take down Suide by then, and Zu Keyong felt ashamed to give Master Lin the bid.

A few hundred meters away from the city gate, in the open area outside the city, Lin Yi's [-]-battalion soldiers stood majestically like a mountain. Under the sun, the soldiers were heavily armored, their swords and guns were dazzling, and their battle flags were flying.

For those who understand military affairs, Zu Keyong's 1000 men are not simply a display of soldiers and horses, but a battle sequence. The first two hundred are musketeers, all of them holding firecrackers and swords hanging from their waists.

Now Ji Dong has more firearms soldiers in his team. In addition to the artillery battalion, his guards and standard battalion firearms account for about 30% of the equipment.In the siege just now, the firearms of the firearms soldiers have already exerted part of their power, and now they have gathered the ammunition of the victorious firecrackers to gather [-] shots.

Immediately following the 200 shieldmen, these [-] people held shields in one hand and machetes in the other, followed by [-] archers. In addition to bows and arrows, they also had combat power hanging from their waists.In other words, the three sequences of the [-] soldiers in front are all dual-weapon. Looking at their equipment, one can tell that the combat radius suitable for them is relatively large, and they can advance and retreat, attacking and defending.

The next three hundred are the last sequence, all spearmen.In addition to the one-foot-five-foot-long spears in their hands, there are also short knives in their waists, which means that these thousand cavalry are all dual-weapon, and the spears are as sharp as hemp.

This Thousand Cavalry Army will be half of the standard battalion, some are from the Guan Ning Army, and some are from the Tianxiong Army. They regroup and join Nan Yi's command. , are all elite soldiers who are better than blue and better than blue. Therefore, compared to the 1000 thieves, although their [-]-man lineup is pitifully small, all of them have faces as firm as iron, revealing confidence and tenacity. The color of timidity.

Zu Keyong stepped off the green-maned horse, with an iron helmet on his head and an iron armor on his head, and a large ax with a wheel in his hand.

Zu Keyong would also play tricks. After all, he was born as a legendary general of the Guan Ning Army. He immediately swung his axe, squinted at the thieves, and turned a blind eye to the thieves who came overwhelmingly.

Seeing so many officers and soldiers lined up outside the city, and the gates of the city are wide open, they are extremely arrogant and arrogant. These appearances of wandering 800 meters stopped, and they dare not rush forward. Is the official city planning?

"Come on, kill these official dogs, and take Suide back!"

Guo Tianxing Huideng didn't care so much, he was always resourceful and now he is not calm anymore, even if there is an ambush in the city, anyway, there are not many officers and soldiers, no matter what, Suide will not be lost.Under the guidance of this idea, he pointed the knife in his hand and shouted loudly.

The 2 thieves rushed towards Zu Keyong and the others like a torrent of floodgates amidst the shouts that shook the sky.

"Fire!"

Facing the surging thieves, Zu Keyong first took a defensive position, and when he was within the range of the firecracker, he gave an order, and the [-] guns were fired with a crackle, puffs of white smoke, accompanied by firecrackers With a ringing sound, the bandits rushing forward fell down.

Whether it's fixed-point shooting or shooting on a flying horse, the brothers in the standard battalion have been badly trained in these items.In other words, the accuracy of these firearms soldiers is not generally good, and at this time it can be said that the guns are all shot.

But these thieves really don't pay attention to these guys who can smoke in the official army, and they don't care about the cannons in red, let alone a few broken guns. They have dealt with the official army for a long time, and they know that although this thing is powerful, it cannot For a long time, after the sound like a cannon, they will become dumb. As long as they can rush over in one go, the officers and soldiers will not have a second chance to fire the cannon.

But today, these thieves were wrong. The firearms of the officers in front of them are not ordinary firearms soldiers. , operate in an orderly manner.They were able to fire an average of three rounds before the thieves broke through their firepower, and the ground was full of thieves' deaths and injuries.

The thieves were a little confused, and the first to charge retreated.

Guo Tianxing didn't believe in evil and personally supervised the battle, and thieves came rolling in like waves.This time there was a commotion among the firearms soldiers, and no one fired their guns. It seemed that they had run out of ammunition, and there was no ammunition. This thing is not good for burning fire sticks on the battlefield. They should throw their guns and be defeated.

But this is just the wishful thinking of the thieves. The firearms soldiers were really withdrawn, but there was no chaos.

"Fire arrows!"

The thief managed to break through the firing range of the firecracker, and within the range of the bow and arrow, the archers among the thief rushed forward while shooting arrows at the officers and soldiers, and the arrows rained like rain.

At this time, after the firearms soldiers of the officers and soldiers withdrew, the archers and shieldmen were exposed. The shieldmen immediately rushed in front of the archers and erected high shields. The shields stood side by side to form a shield wall. Flowing arrows hit the window like a torrential rain, and were blocked by shields one after another and fell to the ground.

After the rain of arrows from the bandits passed, the shield soldiers took down their shields, and the three hundred archers of the officer army were already ready and shot back arrows one after another.The thieves rushing to the front fell to the next row, the thieves' attack was frustrated again, and retreated again with a bang.

"Don't retreat, charge me!" Guo Tianxing slashed at several fleeing thieves with a knife from behind, and a large number of thieves rushed forward for the third time screaming.

The rainy arrows couldn't stop Xuntian's thieves, the thieves screamed like crazy, stepping on the blood and corpses of their companions, with a burst of anger, the third charge of the thieves really broke through the bow and arrow defense line, killing Joining the ranks of the army...
