Chapter 691: Lao Tzu's Soldiers
Yu Dayou led three hundred horsemen to follow the dozen or so village women into the mountains, but the mountain roads were rugged and difficult, and the cavalry really had no advantage here. In fact, after only walking a few miles into the mountains, the cavalry had no way out, so Yu Dayou could only order to dismount and walk, leaving only twenty people to guard the horses, and the rest of the men carried weapons and ran into the mountains.
It is worth mentioning here that in the last battle outside Ningbo, Xu Jin allocated all the 120 Western arquebuses captured to Yu Dayou's equipment team, so Governor Xu was a little jealous of Yu's guerrilla advantage, and even the 500 battalions.
However, Yu Dayou's performance is really outstanding, when he was in Yangzhou, he participated in the rescue of Xu Jin, who was kidnapped by thieves and monks, and made the first contribution; In early May, when encircled and suppressed Shuangyu Port, Yu Dayou led his troops to take down a large ship of Western Ocean and captured 32 Franc machine guns; In addition, Yu Dayou's performance in the two battles of Ningbo Mansion and Fenghua is also remarkable.
Therefore, gold will always shine, although Yu Dayou is only in his early twenties, his talent in leading troops to fight has been revealed, and it is normal for the marshal to look at him differently. Therefore, although the generals are red-eyed, there is nothing to say, after all, people rely on real skills.
Let's say that Yu Dayou not only brought fifty arquebuses this time, but also two Franc cannons. The advantages of the Franc cannon are its small size, reloading ammunition, fast rate of fire, and it can be directly transported by horses after disassembly, and can be used immediately as long as it is reassembled and mounted on a wooden gun carriage.
The more than a dozen village women walked very fast, walking on the rugged mountain road as if walking on the ground, Yu Dayou and other men could only keep up, and the soldiers responsible for carrying the Furang machine guns were so tired that they were panting like cattle, but fortunately there were only two cannons, and one group of soldiers was tired and immediately replaced with another group, but they were not left behind.
After walking for about half an hour, I heard the sound of killing and screaming, and there were many people in the foothills in the distance. Yu Dayou perked up and ordered the soldiers to speed up.
Soon, Yu Dayou and the others turned around a mountain col, the sound of the fight was raised in vain, and the strong smell of blood came along the mountain wind.
Looking at the tragic brawl in front of you...... No, it should be fighting, looking at the tragic and bloody fighting scene in front of him, even Yu Dayou and others, who are accustomed to bloody wind and rain, are a little trance-like in an instant.
I saw that in front of the foothills, the trees and weeds on the soil slopes on both sides had been removed, revealing a dark mountain with rocks everywhere. Halfway up the valley between the two slopes, traces of mining can be seen, forming a large pit of several hundred square meters, and the thieves built fortifications around the pit, relying on the fortifications to resist the attacks of the villagers.
At this time, thousands of villagers and thousands of mine thieves were engaged in a fierce offensive and defensive battle around the mine.
The villagers were a mixture of men and women, each with a hemp rope wrapped around his waist to distinguish friend from foe, and a miscellaneous weapon in his hand was fearless to attack the mine, while the mine robbers condescendingly threw stones down, and the middle of them was bleeding from their heads.
At this time, seven or eight thousand people were fighting together on the hillside, the ground was full of dead and wounded, and shocking blood stains could be seen everywhere on the mountain rocks, and even things like brains and internal organs, as if Shura hell.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Bo Pizhong, the county lord of Yiwu who came with Yu Dayou and others, was already frightened, and said tremblingly: "General Yu, look, there are fights all over the mountains, and you three hundred people are afraid of it...... Hehe. ”
Pi Zhong didn't continue, but showed a wry smile that was more ugly than crying, and the implication was that the three hundred people under Yu Dayou's command would not stop the fight, if they hit the swollen face and force their heads, it was estimated that it would not be enough for the two sides of the fight to stuff their teeth.
Yu Dayou ignored Pi Zhong, who was now engrossed in observing the fight on the hillside, looking excited and eager to try.
Seeing this, the skin master Bo couldn't help but secretly complain, this Yu guerrilla is young, and he is not very reliable at first glance, nine times out of ten he is a stunned young man, no matter what, he will still be strong later, and he will slip away quickly, anyway, the dead friend is not a poor man.
At this time, Yu Dayou became more and more surprised the more he looked, because those villagers with hemp ropes around their waists were not only not afraid of death, but also very orderly when attacking. As soon as the bang rang, the villagers rushed up behind the leader, and shouted in unison, which was quite powerful.
The villagers in charge of knocking on the bangzi also knew how to control the rhythm very well, and when they saw that the momentum had been lost, they stopped knocking on the bang, and the attacking villagers retreated to rest and recuperate. When the battle was going well, the sound of bangzi was like a torrential rain, and the villagers rushed upward, and on several occasions almost stormed the pit.
Yu Dayou noticed that there was a man with two guns in the villagers, this person was quite brave, always rushed to the front, two short spears stabbed at least a dozen people, of course, he himself was hit a few times, and the blood all over his body did not retreat. The villagers launched wave after wave of offensive under the leadership of this man.
"This person's name is Chen Dacheng, a martial artist from Beilei Village, and his prestige among the villagers is extremely high, and everyone listens to him." When the skin owner Bo saw Yu Dayou staring at the man with two guns, he introduced.
Yu Dayou's eyes couldn't help but light up, and blurted out: "What a warrior." ”
It is said that Yu Dayou is planning to recruit a new army, the coastal guards are cowardly and timid, treacherous and bloodless, he looks down on them, and these villagers in front of him are so brave, if they can recruit their subordinates for training, they will definitely be an iron-blooded division in a few months.
Seeing that the casualties on both sides were getting bigger and bigger, Yu Dayou didn't delay any longer, and shouted: "Brothers, prepare to work, but listen well, these are Lao Tzu's soldiers, and you should be careful when you start." ”
The skin master Bo couldn't help but be confused, this guerrilla Yu can't be a fool, when did this gang of fierce Diao people become your soldiers?
The two deputies, Su Qing and Feng Laoliu, were the roundworms in Yu Dayou's stomach, and when they heard this, they immediately understood the boss's intentions, and said with a smile: "Boss Yu, you know, let's knock on the mountain and shock the tiger first, or these red-eyed guys won't listen to us." ”
Yu Dayou nodded, and the soldiers below immediately began to assemble the two Furlong cannons, but the tea tools were not available, and the two Furlong cannons were erected, and the muzzles of the black hole were aimed at the hillside.
The leather master almost bit his tongue, the two cannons were disassembled just now, and they were still wrapped in oilcloth, so he recognized them as two cannons when they were assembled.
Dangdang......
Two rounds were stuffed into the butt of the mother cannon, ignited, boom...... Two shells whistled out and hit the mountain above the mine, instantly blasting into debris.
The explosion that shook the earth and shook the mountains in the valley was even more terrifying, and the skin master was almost frightened to his stomach.
