Chapter 978 kicks on the iron plate
In the territory of Yongning Xuanfu Division, there are many mountains and forests, hills and hills, sparsely populated, most of them have not been developed, and there are not many crops suitable for mountain cultivation at that time, so there are large areas of no man's land, which can be ambushed by Wang Fuchen.
This time, he chose Yongning south, twenty miles north of Guqi for ambush, and he ran more than ten miles, the purpose is to make the distance of the ambush point a little farther away from the valley, so as not to be discovered by the Ming army afterwards.
At this time, 5,000 people were still lying in ambush on both sides of the official road, waiting for the Ming army grain team to come, they were in ambush for an hour, and a scout ran into the woods and came to Wang Fuchen's face, "Commander Qiyu, the Ming army grain transport team set off from Guqi, and there is about half an hour to get here." ”
"How many vehicles, how many guards?" Wang Fuchen nodded, and the surrounding generals were excited.
"There are four or five hundred carts, more than 1,000 people, and about 2,000 guards."
"Two thousand, so many?" Wang Fulin interjected without being surprised when he heard this.
Wang Fuchen was not surprised by this number, if there were few people, it would make him suspicious, "They are eating a trench and growing wise, last time a thousand people guarded, we robbed, this time naturally we have to send more people to guard, but the elite of the Ming army is either in Luzhou, or went to Yunnan, and the rest have to defend Chongqing, and most of the people who can come to guard are some government soldiers." ”
Saying that, Wang Fuchen looked at everyone and said with a smile: "Have you heard of these government soldiers?" That Wang Yan is also interesting, seeing the erosion of the guard, he made a government soldier out, in fact, it is the same as the guard, they are just some farmers hoeing the land, where will fight what battle, we can rush like last time, easily defeat them. ”
When the generals heard this, they all laughed, and Wang Fuchen nodded when he saw this, so he asked everyone to lie in ambush separately and wait for his order.
Wang Fuchen said this is actually to cheer up his subordinates, in fact, he still admires Wang Yan in his heart, the combat power of this government soldier is really not good, but the Ming Dynasty does not need government soldiers to fight, just three years of preliminary training, and then select qualified people to enter the town army, at this time the role of the government soldiers is reflected, he greatly reduced the time for town army training.
In a big empire like the Ming Dynasty, what is terrifying is not one or two armies with strong combat power, but what is terrifying is the strong organization and mobilization ability of the Central Empire.
Of course, now that the world is a few points, the Ming Dynasty still has strong opponents, and it has not yet reached the point where the big powers are not yet powerful and scheming, and they are directly crushed by strength.
After Wang Fuchen's order, many generals dispersed and crouched beside the deployment.
Half an hour later, a group of men and horses appeared on the official road, a member of the Ming will ride a mule and horse in front, behind a large cart slowly walking, on both sides of the vehicle, holding a rattan card with a war knife on his waist, holding a spear in his hand, bowing his head.
Seeing this, Wang Fuchen stretched out his hand to make a move, and the guards immediately sent a strong bow, he pinched an armor-piercing arrow with two fingers, put on the bowstring, and pulled it into a full circle, the Mitsubishi arrow pointed at Li Dingguo, and the cold light moved with Li Dingguo's movement, and the soldiers in the woods also set up bows and arrows, and looked at the Ming army generals riding mules and horses.
Wang Fuchen has rebelled for many years, and he is a figure in the surging waves of the Liukou War during the Chongzhen period, the force is naturally extraordinary, and the soldiers around him are quite confident in him.
Suddenly, Wang Fuchen's two fingers loosened, the bowstring made a crisp string sound, and the arrow broke through the air and shot towards Li Dingguo quickly.
The Ming army knew that it would be ambushed, and he was already prepared in his heart, Li Dingguo knew that he must be the first to be attacked, although he held his own force, but he would not joke with his surname.
On the surface, he only wore a set of iron armor of a thousand households, but in fact, there was a good cotton armor inside, a layer of fine silk.
Although it was a little hot, it made him already soaked inside, but this made his defense much stronger, and the bow and arrow could not kill him.
Walking in Sichuan in August with so many clothes, he must not be able to stand it, but fortunately, before noon in the middle of the day, he had mules and horses to walk.
Li Dingguo was riding on a mule horse, looking ahead on the surface, but in fact, he was scanning both sides, very vigilant. Suddenly, he heard a string sound, and a strong wind came towards him, and he saw his instinctive body on one side, his legs between the horse's belly, and fell to one side, and the mule and horse could not bear to let out a neigh, because they lost their balance and their center of gravity was unstable, and immediately leaned to the side.
"Shoot!" When the western army in the woods saw this scene, they thought that Ming would be shot off their horses with an arrow, and immediately shouted excitedly, and then bent their bows and fired.
Ming's fall from the horse was a signal to make a move, but at this moment, Li Dingguo exerted force in his waist and abdomen, and at the moment when the mule and horse were about to be pulled sideways by his body, he suddenly sat upright and came back, holding a feathered arrow in his hand, stabilizing the mule and horse that fell sideways.
This sudden change surprised many soldiers, and the arrows in their hands did not shoot out.
"Defense!" The moment Li Dingguo sat down, he immediately shouted.
The Ming soldiers, who had been nervous all the way, breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the ambush appear, compared to the enemy who appeared, they didn't know when they would be attacked, which was the most terrifying.
For a while, the rattan players of the Ming army immediately formed a formation, and the firecrackers disguised as the people picked up the self-generated firecrackers with pre-loaded ammunition from the car.
The rain of arrows shot from both sides, the big stride was blocked by the rattan card, and the rest were shot on the vehicle, making a "dodo" sound, and many Ming soldiers were shot by the rain of arrows, and immediately let out a miserable scream.
Now the Ming army is also rich, most of the soldiers wear a piece of silk, arrows shoot over, ordinary break through the armor, there is no strength, heavy arrows shoot through the armor, the arrow is wrapped in the silk clothes worn by the Ming soldiers, inserted into the body, can not cause huge damage, although many Ming soldiers screamed, but still able to fight with injuries.
The ambush was a sudden attack and surprise, the Western Army immediately rushed out of the woods with a roar after shooting an arrow, and those soldiers who were stunned because Li Dingguo was not dead also hurriedly loosened the bowstring and followed to kill.
The Western Army thought that the Ming Army would be frightened and confused like last time, but they rushed out only to find that the situation was not right.
Looking at the Western army that was killing with a knife, Li Dingguo got off the mule and horse, stood behind the rattan card, and immediately shouted. "Put!"
A row of "bang, bang, bang" sounded, and the Western army that rushed to the front was suddenly beaten upside down and flew out.
This made the Western army who rushed forward slightly stunned, but there was no turning back when he opened the bow, and an officer was a little surprised to see the body that was beaten upside down, he was stunned for a moment, and then he shouted, waved his knife and continued to charge.
"Boom", the Western troops rushing out on both sides collided with the Ming army under the shooting of the gun, but they were blocked by the shield players of the Ming army, and the spearmen of the Ming army continued to stab out the spears from the gaps in the shields, and then withdrew them, and each shot was splashed with blood.
Wang Fuchen was immediately frightened when he saw this, and he immediately realized that he had met the elite Ming army, and the western army had almost no cooperation, and the Ming army did form a battle and let the western army rush to kill, but it stood still like a rock.
"Bang bang bang" The Ming army was suddenly attacked, unable to fire in three columns, forming continuous firepower, but once they loaded their ammunition and hit a row of guns, they immediately dealt a fatal blow to the Western army.
The Western Army was in front of the Ming Army, wielding a knife to slash the shield of the Ming Army, and as soon as the sound of the gun sounded, blood splattered immediately, and the heads of many Western soldiers were smashed.
The Ming army's gunners hid behind Tengpai to shoot, such a close distance, it was impossible to miss, after the platoon, the Western army instantly lost four or five hundred people, and the front line was empty, and it was immediately frightened.
"Commander! A group of Ming troops behind is coming quickly! Wang Fuchen was stunned when a scout came running with a roll.
