Chapter 383: Overwhelming
How did Chen Bo not know that he could shoot now? But this time he only has a company of cold fronts, of course they can fight a good fight now, but if they do, what will happen to the auxiliaries and the two thousand temporary auxiliaries? Because their loyalty has not been put to the final test, they have only crossbows and arrows in their hands, and their lethality is within 150 meters. In other words, if Chen Bo ordered an attack now, of course, he could inflict heavy damage on the opponent, but it would be very difficult for the auxiliary soldiers to exert their combat effectiveness.
That's why Chen Bo didn't give the order to attack immediately, he calculated in his mind. The general attack power of the bow and arrow is one hundred and twenty meters, and the effective distance is about one hundred meters, as long as he can control it one hundred and twenty meters away, he will still hold the initiative, so that he can give more auxiliary soldiers a chance to perform.
After calculation, the distance between the two sides went from 300 meters to 200 meters, then 180 meters, 170 meters...
More Leng Feng began to set his eyes on Chen Bo, the battalion commander who led the team, waiting for him to give the order to shoot. This is what the elite Leng Feng can do, without the order of the superiors, the enemy is in front of him, and he can't shoot casually, otherwise the strict military law will be waiting for them.
One hundred and fifty meters, this distance has reached the strike standard of the auxiliary crossbow and arrow, Chen Bo raised his right hand, and the hundred Leng Feng stopped at this point, "Open the safe, prepare to shoot, the auxiliary soldiers continue to advance, wait for the gunfire to sound, quickly attack, do not give the enemy a chance to react!" ”
Finally gave the order to fight, and the 100 Leng Feng moved neatly to open the safety of the ninety-five guns, and the noise sounded so crisp and pleasant. When they were doing this, the two hundred auxiliaries and two thousand temporary auxiliaries around them rushed out of the side like crucians crossing the river, and killed the yellow bandit army on the opposite side.
At a distance of one hundred and fifty meters, the two sides were still approaching, and the five hundred archers in the Yellow Bandit Army were ready to fire long arrows. General Cheng Yuan, who was the first to bear the brunt on his horse, was also ready to shout the slogan of releasing arrows.
One hundred and forty meters, one hundred and thirty meters...
"Bow and arrow preparation..."
"Shoot!"
The voice shouted one step faster than Cheng Yuan came from Chen Bo's ears. With the command, a hundred tongues of fire gushed out, and the target was Cheng Yuan who was riding on a horse and the yellow bandit army who were about to draw their bows and shoot arrows.
There are also two hundred auxiliary soldiers with them, they have already aimed the crossbow arrows in their hands at those archers, this is the most dangerous group of people for them, as long as they are all taken down, the control of the next battlefield will definitely fall into their hands, and at that time, they can really kill as much as they want.
"Horn Horn..."
"Whoosh..."
The gunshots and crossbow arrows rang out at almost the same time when they broke through the air, and the consequences were Cheng Yuan's fall and the fall of the archers, as well as chaos in the Yellow Bandit army.
No one thought that such a mighty general Cheng Yuan would fall to the ground without even touching the opponent's hair, but their general was wearing armor, which could not be injured by ordinary bows and arrows, but why was he still so unbeaten?
With no leader, the Yellow Bandit Army looked a little chaotic, and another minor leader wanted to take over the command of the team, but his influence was too small to make the entire army obey his orders. Not to mention, with the sound of crossbow arrows in the second wave of gunfire, the little leader also fell to the ground with a plop.
"Kill, Cheng Yuan will die, those who resist will be killed, and those who surrender can live!"
Seeing that the main generals of the other side were knocked to the ground one after another, two hundred auxiliaries and two thousand auxiliaries rushed over with overwhelming momentum. Along the way, the momentum is like a bamboo, whenever the gunshots are sounded, or the sound of crossbow arrows is heard, someone on the opposite side will fall to the ground, this kind of battle has not even been a moment, and the result of losing seventy or eight of the troops has made the morale of the Yellow Bandit Army fall again and again.
Originally, they were a group of rabble, and their original purpose of joining the Yellow Bandit Army was not pure, but it was just to have a full meal, that is, they didn't even know what they should do after they were full. How could an army with no goals, no ideals, no pursuits, no beliefs, and even more so no training be the opponents of the Yang family's army? Even in the face of temporary auxiliaries who already have a vague goal in life, they will be defeated.
In the sound of crossbow arrows breaking through the air, there is no need to engage at close range, and the opponent can be killed and injured at a long distance. After that, they are loading arrows and shooting them, and every time they do this, they will always be shot or fall to the ground by arrows.
This kind of massacre, which was almost completely one-sided, and without the support of its own archers, there was only one way to resist it. At this moment, some people finally can't hold back this fear, because they don't know when they will fall, and they don't know if they will be the next one to fall in vain. Now that you can surrender and live, what is there to hesitate, and one by one the people began to throw away the weapons in their hands and fell to their knees.
"Good!" In the rear, Yang Chendong used a telescope to see everything in his eyes, and seeing that Cheng Yuan was falling, the Yellow Bandit Army was in chaos, and the victory was decided, he waved his hand and said to Luo Po: "You can attack the city, go!" ”
"Yes." Luo Po, who had been a little impatient for a long time, was waiting for this sentence, and at the moment, in addition to leaving a company of Leng Feng to protect Yang Chendong's Chinese army, the other two Leng Feng all roared away like war horses rushing out of the fence. Some of them were still carrying some things in their hands that Guan Ying and Ma Wei couldn't recognize, and they couldn't understand what they were for.
"Let's go, we can also move forward, presumably within an hour, we can have dinner in Zhaoqing Mansion." Yang Chendong smiled with a confident face.
"Yes, yes, mercenaries are really powerful." Guan Ying and Ma Wei echoed each other, but no matter how they sounded, they seemed to be perfunctory. After all, it was only Cheng Yuan and the soldiers who took him out of the city who were defeated, and there were still two thousand yellow bandit troops in the city holding on? How can it be said that if you attack it, you can conquer it? You must know that the breakthrough war is the most time-consuming and energy-consuming, as well as the source of soldiers. If you don't get one well, it's normal for a city to be surrounded for ten days and a half or even longer, and it won't be broken.
No matter what Guan Ying and Ma Wei thought, Yang Chendong was still very confident on the horse, as if he was not going to watch the battle now, but to go directly to the city.
Luo Po was running forward with two companies of Leng Feng at a rapid marching speed at this time, and while running, he cheered up Leng Feng beside him, "Everyone should hurry up, the sixth young master is behind us, strive for the sixth young master to arrive, the city gate will be broken, don't delay the time for the sixth young master to enter the city." ”
Said three sixth young masters in succession, it seems that there are some words in the ?? Aluminum? Wook? Huh? Fishy words, pro-Gu Nai, reciting the peony curtain dam Zheng? Liao's Tyrants? Beetle leech?? Stirring up? Joy???? Ramble? Namata throws the will to swell the Sifu frame
Cheng Yuan was defeated and captured, and most of his men were killed, wounded and surrendered, and there were not even 800 people who really fled back. These people came to the city gate of Zhaoqing Mansion like a desperate person, shouting loudly for the defenders in the city to lower the drawbridge. It's just a pity that the auxiliaries and temporary auxiliaries behind him have already chased after them, and the yellow bandit army in the city does not dare to open the city gate.
Seeing that there was no hope of entering the city, more than 800 deserters were afraid that they would be killed on the battlefield, so they chose to throw down their weapons one by one and surrender on their knees, so that the 3,000 yellow bandits who went out of the city became prisoners in the Yang family's army. After taking these people aside to watch, Battalion Commander Chen Bo came to the city with a company of Leng Feng: "Wait and listen, we are mercenaries invited by the loyal and courageous Duke of the Ming Dynasty, and the 80,000 troops led by Huang Yuliang in Guangzhou have also been severely damaged by us. ”
There are many ways to persuade the enemy to open the city gates.
The soft one is naturally lured by profit and says all the good things. The hard one is the one who has a tough tone and threatens words. But there are very few cases where the enemy can actually open the city gates with a few words. As if in front of them, the two thousand Yellow Bandit Army did not mean to open the city gate, when Cheng Yuan fell off the horse, they saw that something was wrong, and had already sent someone to Wuzhou Mansion behind him to ask for help, as long as Huang Gongzi received the news, as soon as the troops arrived, the danger of Zhaoqing Mansion would naturally be solved.
Chen Bo stood under the city and shouted three times in a row, but no one answered him in words, but a few bows and arrows were shot in front of his feet, this was because the distance was not enough, otherwise, I am afraid that Chen Bo was already injured by arrows.
"Look for death!" Seeing a few bows and arrows stuck in front of him, Chen Bo felt that this was a slap in the face, which made his face pale, "Come on, take down those few who let the arrows for me!" ”
"Okay, battalion commander." Among the cold fronts, some people couldn't help but try their skills, and now with Chen Bo's order, where will they be polite, hehe smiled and raised his gun to fight. A yellow bandit with a bow and arrow on the city tower was unfortunately targeted, and before he could pull his arms apart, he heard a crisp gunshot, he was shot in the eyebrows, and the whole person fell from the top of the tower.
This was just the beginning, and then the other cold fronts were also looking for their own targets, and in less than a pillar of incense, there were already nine yellow bandits who were about to shoot arrows at the city and were killed, or fell directly from the city tower, or fell into the city tower from time to time.
The death of these people frightened the Yellow Bandit Army defending the city, and also shocked the 2,000 auxiliary soldiers who watched the battle.
The battle just now was extremely enjoyable and easy, and the situation was one-sided from beginning to end, so that many of them won the victory without feeling any danger. But this kind of shock was far less than what they saw in front of them, and when they saw that every yellow bandit army on the city tower would fall to the ground and die at a rapid speed, they knew what Leng Feng represented. In the past, I always heard those auxiliary soldiers say how powerful Leng Feng was, and they didn't care about it, but now it seems that everything is true, but their horizons are too narrow to imagine.
