Chapter 62: The Overseer

Halfway up the mountain on the opposite side of the Xinjiang River, drums and three links sounded, and more rebels poured out on the official road to attack the Xinjiang Bridge, and the rebel army attacked the bridge quickly on land, and the river fleet also crashed through the wreckage of the slowly sinking fishing boat and attacked the shore.

Li Yayuan is bound to win Xinjiang Town today.

"The enemy general is on the mountain, and he is bombarded with artillery!"

Bai Yuanjie didn't care if Li Yayuan was on the opposite side of the mountain, as long as he let the artillery shoot at the place where the drums were heard!

Speaking of this cannon, it is really the current war, otherwise Bai Yuanjie must be called by Chen Mu to come close and reprimand, where is there that the two sides have not yet fought and thought about transporting the cannon to the Chinese army? The reaction of his subordinates' cronies to the battle made Bai Deputy Qianhu very dissatisfied - he was planning to escape!

Bai Yuanjie couldn't figure out how the banner army under Chen Mu's command that obeyed him was trained?

A group of forbidden soldiers, a careless and timid general!

Pearl Secret Investment!

However, at this time, the four Franc machines and one bowl cannon were really useless to Bai Yuanjie, but the big hair cannon could really allow him to hit the mountainside where the opponent's Chinese army was located, and immediately ordered the artillery to use the fire cannon to keep bombarding the mountainside.

If you don't hit it accurately, you must at least scare the general on the other side and cause him some trouble.

The other five guns were all short guns, and the range was insufficient, so Bai Yuanjie ordered Shao Tingda to bring the artillery to the river beach that Chen Mu was defending.

Before the artillery arrived, the riverbank was engaged.

"Get off the boat and rush to kill the officers and soldiers!"

Rebel military attachés with turbans on their heads and worn iron armor raised their swords and shouted on the side of the ship, and hundreds of rebels threw themselves from their boats, shouting the inaudible roar of the defenders, and rushed ferociously across the river to the shore.

As the saying goes, if you have more than a thousand, you will tear the earth and the sky.

Chen Mu, who was in the battle array, looked roughly through the gap in the shoulders of the friendly army's robes, only to feel that the men of the entire Ming Dynasty were surging towards them like waves.

Servants wearing square scarves and brocade shoes and holding short knives, servants wearing leather armor and scarves with nets on their heads and swords at their waists, farmers in cloth clothes and dancing with hoes, and even porters with long sticks, fishermen wielding iron forks, craftsmen with small hammers and miners mingle.

Of course, there were also military households waving big flags, and these people rushed to the edge of the formation of Deng Zilong's battalion in front of them without any formation, fighting in one place.

In terms of the fierceness of their style, they are not inferior to the battalion soldiers in the slightest. Even in the absence of long-range weapons and disorganization, the battalion was still able to inflict terrible casualties, even if it was done at an even greater cost of its own casualties, but it was enough to terrify everyone.

The longbow was fired, the birds were chirping, and the battalion soldiers were still as steady as Mount Tai despite dozens of casualties in an instant, and the position was still as steady as Mount Tai, following Deng Zilong's tacit understanding from Jiangxi to Guangdong, the fast gun poked out from the gap in the long card, and bursts of gunpowder smoke rose at the front of the front, relying on firearms and longbows to form a slow and orderly killing of the enemy once and again.

The rebels have nothing, they are not even better than the hundreds of rebels on the North Mountain in terms of armor.

Deng Zilong stood behind the formation, this time he did not personally lead his subordinates to charge, but firmly commanded the battalion soldiers in the rear formation. Although Chen Muqi also went to the riverside to standby, but the number of personnel was insufficient, both to send artillery to Bai Yuanjie, and to send a message to Wu Duan.

Deng Zilong said: "Although there are many enemy troops, the stamina is insufficient, kill him three or five hundred people, and tell him to go back to the river!" ”

Chen Mu can also see this, although the rebels have two or three thousand people, they are unorganized, it seems that only one military order is to attack, as long as the defenders can hold on to the river bank for a moment, once the enemy suffers too many casualties, they will collapse and retreat back to the river, and then the pursuit will be a one-sided slaughter.

"The flag army under General Chen is ready to rocket and act according to orders."

With Deng Zilong's order, the hundred tigers rushed to the back of the formation by the flag army, and several flag soldiers on the left were waiting in a swarm with two boxes. This is exactly in line with Chen Mu's idea, in the art of war, it is said that with the right and the odd - it is the dignified array that brings lasting casualties to the enemy until the morale is on the verge of collapse. Odd, on the other hand, is an unexpectedly large number of casualties in a short period of time.

Nearly 200 rockets launched in an instant were the weapons in Deng Zilong's hands that could get closest to this goal.

In the dispatch of troops by Deng Zilong, although the former army battalion soldiers were only a few hundred sergeants, they were pressed against the position with the help of trenches and wooden barricades under the impact of thousands of enemy troops who landed on the shore. However, the enemy army eventually became stronger, and gradually formed a meniscus suppression trend from the two sides of the defenders, which could not be fully blocked.

Deng Zilong was unconscious, raised his hand and pointed to the enemy ships on the riverside and said: "The enemy has all disembarked from the boat, and now force them back into the river!" Chen Zongqi and Deng have two orders, first listen to the order from the two wings and burn a swarm of bees, and then hear the order later, they will rush to destroy the Chinese army with a hundred tigers, and it is a big deal to charge with the army...... Oops! ”

Deng Zilong, who was originally a sure winner, suddenly changed his face in the middle of speaking, Chen Mu looked at him, the situation on the battlefield had not changed, but he was at a loss and saw that the enemy ships were no longer disembarking and rowed quickly towards the center of the river, and the hundreds of ships only divided into dozens of ships to meet the barbarian camp warships, and the rest were speeding in the direction they came, looking like mice seeing cats.

"This ......"

Chen Mu thought to himself that this is a good thing! The enemy general actually fled with the fleet when he saw that he could not win quickly, but why was Deng Zilong so frightened and angry? Then I heard Deng Zilong raise his knife and roar in his ears.

"Mr. Chen, ignite a swarm of bees quickly, and let a hundred tigers run together! Don't let them find out the ship is gone, quick! ”

A swarm of swarms shot at the enemy on the edges of the two wings, and more than 30 rockets were fired indiscriminately, and the rebels who were squeezing the front in the rear of the right flank were immediately beaten, and more than 20 people were killed and wounded by more than a dozen battalions that rushed up immediately, and the formation was killed out of the gap in the blink of an eye.

The results of the battle on the left flank were not ideal, and when the swarm of bees was fired, three rebels pounced, two of them were shot into hedgehogs by rockets at a distance of five paces, and seven or eight arrows were even sprayed by gunpowder and retreated backwards a few steps and fell into the formation, and the rest of the rockets did not know where to fly indiscriminately, and then the flag army holding the swarm of bees was smashed by the rebels' knives and axes and fell to the ground in a blink of an eye.

However, the Chinese army lived up to expectations, and the shield hand holding the long card dodged away from both sides of the center, revealing the hideous face of a hundred tigers rushing together, and a hundred rockets flew out in an instant, shooting over three of their own battalion soldiers who could not dodge, and then nearly a hundred rockets dragged out a scream and pierced into the densest enemy formation, and then burst out pieces of gunsmoke.

From the perspective of the Chinese army, half of the enemy formation was shrouded in gunsmoke at every moment.

The smoke of gunfire came and went quickly, and when the smoke cleared, the battalion soldiers in the eyes of the rebels were already different.

The battalion soldiers with long shields flashed their swords in their right hands, and the fast gunners behind them had loaded their spearheads and burst forward from the side of the shieldmen.

In the rear, Deng Zilong raised his sword with a banner in his hand, shouted the order to lead his entourage straight to the battlefield.

"Chen Zongqi led the army to supervise the army, and those who turned back will be killed; The battalion soldiers obeyed the order - forced them into the river, and not a single one was left! ”
