What Hong Jin said was extremely certain, but only he knew that he didn't have much confidence in his heart. After all, since the establishment of the Han Prisoner Army, it has received some unfair treatment, and maybe it will really surrender. It's just that in front of his subordinates, of course, he can only continue to cheer up.

"In this way, if the order goes down, we must resist it, as long as we hold on until dawn, the 40,000 Han prisoners will definitely move closer to us, and we will be safe at that time. And to tell the soldiers that muskets have limited bullets, even if these mercenaries are powerful, they can't fight indefinitely, as long as they don't have muskets, then they can only choose melee combat, so our chance has come. ”

"Yes, I'll tell my brothers what the general said right away." The commander's eyes lit up, he had lost confidence, but when he heard Hong Jin's words, he felt a lot better, and because of this, he had his own thoughts, "General, do you want to make a counter-charge when we find that the opponent's musket attack is slow, in that case, we may be able to grab some muskets back." ”

"Huh!" Listening to the commander's suggestion, Hong Jin felt his eyes light up, "Very good, you go down like this and tell the soldiers that once there is such an opportunity, you must take the initiative to attack boldly." If anyone can snatch a musket back, the official will be promoted to one level and rewarded with fifty taels of silver. ”

Seeing that his suggestion was adopted, the commander was also very happy, and quickly nodded and agreed to convey the order. But he did not know that the scene he was waiting for would never come to pass.

Most of the muskets developed in the Ming Dynasty were self-fired guns, which were the kind that could only be fired once reloaded. And once you shoot several times in a row, the barrel, the barrel, especially the rifling, are easy to break seriously, and you need to rest for a while. However, the 95-type used by the mercenaries has no such concerns at all, most of these guns were taken out by Yang Chendong from the warehouse, they are modern products, and there is no problem with an average of 30,000 rounds of ammunition for a gun.

Even the Bayi Bar imitated by Chiji City was only made after the steel technology matured, and the quality was naturally not as strong as the Bayi Bar in the Big Warehouse, but it was no problem to hit about 5,000 rounds. Especially the one that was manufactured later, not to mention the accuracy, after testing, it can already guarantee that it can hit 8,000 to 10,000 rounds. And this will continue to progress, after all, there are those advanced books and samples taken out of the big warehouse, as long as you work hard, you can always catch up.

Based on this, what the commander said about waiting for the mercenaries to run out of bullets or have a problem with their guns to fight back is non-existent.

But then again, it can't be said that there is no chance at all, for example, after the first burst of strong attacks, after eliminating a large number of the enemy's living forces, when the enemy's forces are concentrated together, and you can also rely on some terrain to reflect the bow and arrow, the attack speed of Leng Feng and auxiliary soldiers has also slowed down.

This slowdown is not without attacking. Yang Chendong has already given a death order, tonight, before dawn tomorrow at the latest, he must take down 10,000 Jiaozhi troops, which is a matter of whether he can successfully receive 40,000 Han prisoners.

So they slowed down the attack just for the next better attack. Just like now, the originally dense gunfire suddenly stopped, that is, Leng Feng and the auxiliary soldiers were moving forward with the cover of the night to ensure that they could get closer to the opponent, and then the power of the grenade could be highlighted, and at that time, no matter what terrain the opponent wanted to use, it would be useless, and it would be razed to the ground.

However, before this brewing onslaught began, it did create an illusion for the Cochin army, that is, the mercenaries' muskets were out of ammunition, or that there was something wrong with the muskets. Just as the commander had given his order, many of the Cochin soldiers thought that their opportunity had come.

From the time they were attacked at night, they had been beaten passively, and they didn't even see a shadow of the enemy clearly, which made the proud Cochin Army very distressed. Suddenly, seeing that there was an opportunity to counterattack now, everyone wanted to seize it, so the groups of Jiaozhi troops began to concentrate. Three or four hundred people here, two or three hundred people over there, began to concentrate, ready to rush out with all their strength to seize the muskets, which would allow them to be promoted to the next rank and get fifty taels of silver.

With material rewards, everyone's movements are indeed much faster. When the gathering was almost complete, the all-out counterattack began, and more than a dozen teams suddenly rushed out from all directions, ranging from a hundred or ten people to three or four hundred.

This kind of planned large-scale sudden counterattack not only highlights the suddenness, but also the more important personnel are more dispersed, and in their minds, even if they encounter a counterattack with muskets, they will slip through the net, and once they rush in front of the mercenaries, their advantage will come.

The sudden counterattack really caught the mercenaries off guard. But it's just a look of surprise in the eyes and sight. Because at this time, the Yang family army was also preparing to concentrate grenades to launch a frontal assault.

I was worried about not being able to find where the enemy's main force was, but now it's good, they took the initiative to jump out, this really wants to sleep Someone sent a pillow, how can such an opportunity not be grasped well, it is also in vain to be called an elite cold front soldier.

So after just stopping for a few breaths, the excited cold fronts began to fight back, and they didn't know which company or which platoon they started from, and the powerful grenades in their hands were thrown out as if they didn't want money.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

When the fire is shining, there are also scenes of various things flying into the sky, as well as various screams of ghosts and wolves.

After the first start, the rest of the army quickly counterattacked, and the grenade that was already in their hands was immediately unhapped and then thrown into the crowd of Cochins.

The quiet night had become lively again, even more intense than before. Of course, with the cooperation, I don't know how many Jiaozhi troops were blown up, killed, and torn apart.

Under the loud roar, the mountains and forests were shaking, and I don't know how many animals in the forest scattered, they felt like the end of the world was coming, and the rest were only fleeing in panic.

In contrast, in the temporary wooden tent, life is also very difficult. When they heard the first violent sound, Hong Jin and Ruan Yongyang's faces fell. With the sound of explosions one after another, Ruan Yongyang was already sitting on the chair, and Hong Jin was no better, the whole person was shaking, and the pupils of his eyes could no longer be focused together.

originally thought that a desperate counterattack would be a chance for them. At worst, it will seize most of the territory lost before, so that it will have more room for you to move around, so that it will not be difficult to hold out until dawn the next day and wait for the arrival of the Han prisoners.

Who would have thought that it would attract such a big movement. What kind of opponent are they facing, and what the hell are they doing now with landmines?

But whether the two of them figured it out or not, the defeat ahead was irreversible. If they keep defending, although they will still fail in the end, they can hold on for some more time, but now, they take the initiative to attack, that is, there is no reason to survive at all.

In less than half an hour, the nearly 5,000 attack teams sent out were all wiped out, and if a few were lucky, they did not die immediately, but there was still half a breath left. Later, when the cold fronts rushed forward with all their might, they were not even qualified to waste a single bullet, and were clicked off by the bayonets on the cold fronts' guns.

In the end, five thousand troops were sent out, and there were only a hundred men left in the entire barracks. Facing the attack of three cold front battalions, a cold front company directly under the regiment, and four battalions of auxiliaries, these 100 people did not even survive half an hour, and all died. When Wu Sheng, the commander of the first battalion who was fighting the vanguard, rushed into the wooden military tent with a few henchmen, only Hong Jin and Ruan Yongyang were left here.

As soon as Wu Sheng rushed in, when his tall figure appeared under the coal lamp, a long knife slashed over.

"Get out of here!" Wu Sheng, who was angry, first shouted, and saw that the bayonet in his hand was blocked and pulled, and the long knife was slashed to the side, and then under the action of stabbing at the end, it was accompanied by the sound of a knife entering the abdomen, and blood flowed with it.

It was Ruan Yongyang who cut this knife, knowing that he would die, in line with the idea of killing one to make one, killing two to earn one, he launched a final counterattack.

It's just that his right leg is not dexterous, so he can only slash out this knife with all his strength, and his body does not move, and the knife posture naturally has no second change. Second, his opponent was the battalion commander of Wusheng, who had been in Yangjiazhuang for a long time and had been specially trained in bayonet skills by Yang Chendong, but it was just a splitting knife, and he couldn't hurt him at all.

Ruan Yongyang watched the bayonet pierce into the lower abdomen, and with Wu Sheng's habitual stirring and stabbing and then drawing the knife, Ruan Yongyang, who rolled his eyes, fell from the chair to the ground with a thud, and after his body gasped twice, he was completely dead, and he couldn't move anymore.

Ruan Yongyang died like this, in front of Hong Jin, this huge stimulation made him fall to his knees with a thud, "Please don't kill me, I am willing to surrender, I know a lot of things about Jiaozhi, it will definitely be useful to you, it will definitely be." ”

Hong Jin's biggest ideal is to take the entire Hong family to the top, and in order to achieve this goal, he can do whatever it takes. But often the more scheming people are, the more thoughtful people are, the more afraid of death.
