Chapter 188: Five minutes is five minutes
It didn't take long for Diao Leixun to receive a report from the striker Ying Tianhu, and after hearing that Ying Tianhu's department was ambushed, Diao Leixun couldn't help but worry.
Because he listened to Ying Tianhu's battle, he only listened to the first half, and as for the second half of the counterattack, he didn't believe it at all when the pseudo-Tang thief army fled in a hurry.
Because this is how he reported the battle of Luohu Valley to his superiors before, it is very possible for Ying Tianhu to conceal and exaggerate most of the facts.
He guessed that it was very likely that Ying Tianhu was ambushed, but the casualties should not be large, and the pseudo-Tang thief army took the initiative to retreat after the ambush.
His guess was not wrong, although Ying Tianhu and they were ambushed and suffered several rounds of shooting, but they dodged fast enough, when the pseudo-Tang thief army fired two rounds of guns, they had already fallen down to dodge the bullets, so most of the casualties were hit at the beginning because they were caught off guard, and three people were killed on the spot, and six others were injured.
However, after being hit by a bullet, the injuries were very serious, and except for two of the six people who were only slightly injured, the remaining four would have died if nothing happened.
This is also a helpless thing, if you are only injured by spears, swords, bows and arrows, etc., as long as it is not a fatal part, then the injury can be controlled, and if you are not infected by subsequent tetanus or the like, then the chance of survival is still not small.
But being hit by lead bullet is not so lucky, the initial velocity of lead bullet in this year is not as high as the bullet of later generations, and lead bullet is very soft, as long as it is hit by a bullet, the bullet will roll after drilling into the human body, causing a terrible cavity wound, plus lead bullet will be shattered, if you can't take out all the lead bullet fragments through surgery, then lead bullet poisoning, even if it is not poisoned, but lead bullet will bring clothes into the wound to cause subsequent infection.
Therefore, as long as you are directly hit by a lead bullet, then the mortality rate is quite high, if you are hit in the head, it will cause a 90% mortality rate, if you are hit in the left chest, that is, the heart and nearby, then the mortality rate will be as high as 100%, if the right chest and abdomen and other parts of the torso, the mortality rate is also as high as 70%.
Even for all four limbs, the mortality rate is as high as 20 percent, and those who are lucky enough not to die will all have their limbs amputated.
And the above-mentioned mortality rate is still based on the premise that there are perfect battlefield doctors who can provide surgical procedures for soldiers.
And this premise is not available in most 16th-century armies, and there are no surgeons in the Ming army to operate on them, so they can only do some simple amputations, and the probability of infection after amputation is also quite high.
Therefore, the mortality rate after being hit by lead bullet is quite high, not to mention 100% death, but under today's conditions, the mortality rate can easily reach more than 80%.
Therefore, the three dead and six injured on Ying Tianhu's side can also be said to be seven dead and two injured, except for the two lucky ones who were only lightly injured, the other few seriously injured ones will not last long and will die.
However, the death of these Xu Xiaobing naturally could not move Diao Leixun, the death and injury of these ordinary soldiers was just a number for them, not to mention that this number was very small.
Diao Leixun was worried that after Ying Tianhu and the others were ambushed by the puppet Tang thief army, their morale would plummet, resulting in the inability to catch up with the puppet Tang thief army in time.
It's been chasing for two days, and Diao Leixun doesn't want to let the puppet Tang thief army run away like this.
Immediately, he sent someone to reply to the letter, telling Ying Tianhu to chase after him, and never let the puppet Tang thief army escape and escape.
After Ying Tianhu received Diao Leixun's order, he couldn't help but scold his mother again, you Diao Leixun himself watched from behind, and he knew that Lao Tzu was desperately hit, chasing so tightly What if he was ambushed by the pseudo-Tang thief army, what if he waited for the bullet to not grow long, and he was also shot by a gun?
Ying Tianhu complained about Diao Leixun, thinking that Diao Leixun was deliberately making things difficult for him!
As everyone knows, Diao Leixun is also a big head now, and he is very embarrassed, he naturally knows that there may be an accident when he enters the mountain now and chases the pseudo-Tang thief army, but he can't do it if he doesn't chase it.
Su Jiakang, who was behind his buttocks, gave him a very clear order, asking him to catch up with or even entangle the pseudo-Tang thief army, so that the two armies would converge and completely annihilate these pseudo-Tang thief army.
If the puppet Tang thief army runs away this time, it will be difficult for Diao Leixun to explain to Su Jiakang at that time, and it will be even more difficult to explain to the Feng family in Fucheng.
When the Feng family was robbed last year, Su Jiakang was reprimanded from above.
This year, Fengjiazhuang was shot again, and I heard from the people who came to report from Fengjiazhuang that this time Fengjiazhuang was particularly miserable, and there was not a single grain of summer grain left in the two big granaries, all of which were snatched away by those damn Huangzhushan bandits.
With so much food being robbed, the Feng family will definitely be furious, and when the time comes, they will definitely put pressure on Lord Fuzun and Su Jiakang, and maybe they will go to the provincial capital.
At that time, in order to offset the pressure from above, Su Jiakang will definitely be the same as last year, and he will throw down all the black pots to them, the generals in the army, and last year there was a Zeng Ziwen who took the blame, but this year, it will be his turn.
In this regard, Diao Leixun is quite afraid, so he also wants to make a contribution and atone for his sins.
As long as the main force of these pseudo-Tang thieves can be left, it will be a great achievement at that time, and under this great merit, it will be nothing if Fengjiazhuang is robbed.
After annihilating the main force of these puppet Tang thief army, they will be able to completely enter the puppet Tang Dynasty's lair, that is, they have only heard of its name, but they don't know where it is located, and they may be able to snatch back the robbed grain in Fengjiazhuang when the time comes.
Of course, as for the grain that was snatched back at that time, it would definitely not be returned to the Feng family, even if the Feng family had the support of a big official behind it, it was a trophy, and it would be wiped out on the day it was grabbed, and it was estimated that even the people of the Feng family would not know that they had recovered this batch of grain.
Based on these reasons, Diao Leixun needs to chase these pseudo-Tang thieves tightly and can't let them run.
Diao Leixun and Ying Tianhu chased after each other, which also made Li Xuan and the others who fled for their lives a little angry.
Originally, I thought that an ambush in the morning and killing and injuring some of them would make these Ming soldiers fearful, but without these Ming troops, they still chased them like leper dogs.
Angry and helpless at the same time, Li Xuan could only arrange a second ambush, anyway, now they are running ahead, the strategic initiative is still in their own hands, and they can ambush the Ming army whenever they want.
However, this time, Li Xuan didn't plan to just let the people of the musket team put a few rounds of guns far away, killing and wounding single-digit enemy soldiers, this time, he wanted to make those brave and fierce Ming troops who had been chasing after them suffer a big pain, and severely damaged or even annihilated the more than 100 Ming army forwards behind him.
Li Xuan had this idea, and Fang Dongquan had wanted to do it for a long time!
"If you want me to say, we should have killed them in the morning!" Butcher Chen said: "Just firing a few shots from a distance to scare them won't work!" ”
Wang Danxu was also a little embarrassed when he heard this, at the beginning he was afraid of any accidents, so he insisted that it was enough to shoot and ambush at a long distance, and if he fought well, he could also kill and injure more than ten enemy soldiers, which was enough for the Ming army to cause panic and make them dare not catch up.
But I didn't expect these Ming troops to play so hard, they were all ambushed once, and they didn't want to catch up.
Fang Dongquan said: "Hmph, they saw that we had been running, and they expected that we would not dare to turn back, this time we simply dispatched the whole army and did this with them!" ”
However, Qian Mengjiu still maintained a cautious attitude: "Not to mention the risk of the whole army going out, and they are not stupid, they will definitely find out if our whole army stays to ambush, and they will definitely not come up again when the time comes!" ”
At this time, Fang Dongquan said: "The mountain is so big, you can always find a suitable place for ambush, it is not so easy for them to find out, and we can also leave a few people in the rear to harass them, delay them for a certain amount of time, and create some ambush time for the troops!" ”
Li Xuan also spoke at this time: "It's not a matter to always let them chase after them, they are all ready to prepare, we will destroy their striker!" ”
According to the report of the spies behind, the more than 400 main forces of the Ming army Tong'an Qianhu are about five miles in the rear, and as for the fairy stone Qianhu in the rear, they have not yet entered the mountain.
According to the calculation of the main force of the Ming army recently, even if they run lightly, it will take at least half an hour to reach the battlefield, after all, the speed of action of the army is very slow, and it is impossible to walk several miles in a short period of time like a single person.
In this way, if they were to ambush the Ming army's advances, they would have at least a quarter of an hour to engage in battle!
And a quarter of an hour is enough for a small-scale ambush battle, in fact, whether the fight goes smoothly or not, it is a matter of a few minutes at most for the real fight.
The reason why ordinary battles last for a long time is because most of the time is used to adjust the formation and confrontation, once the two sides enter the handover, the follow-up engagement time is actually very short, just like the first virgin, it is very common to get it within a minute, and it is relatively rare to be able to hold out for three minutes, as for those that can exceed five minutes, it is really rare.
Li Xuan They want to fight an ambush, naturally there is no need to adjust the formation or anything, and as soon as the Ming army arrives, they can start fighting directly, if everything goes well, the battle will end within three minutes, and even the Ming army will collapse as soon as it starts, and it is possible to have a second-shot battle.
If everything doesn't go well, the battle will still end within five minutes, because at that time, Li Xuan will lead the army to re-embark on the road of escape as soon as possible.
Real men have to keep their senses, saying that five minutes is five minutes, and not a minute or a second more, even if they are not allowed to come out, they must be pulled out, and they must not drag mud and water!
