"Kill!"
Poof!
Hao Qiang roared, holding a long-pole broadsword, with hundreds of veteran guards, blocking the enemy several times their size at the entrance of the backyard of the Han Mansion, without retreating at all.
Sou!
An arrow shot at Hao Qiang's left shoulder, but he gritted his teeth, swung his knife and cut off the shaft of the arrow, and continued to fight.
"Soldiers, guard the entrance of the hospital, and not a single ruffler is allowed to enter. Kill! ”
Hao Qiang shouted.
"Kill!"
The guards, who were only a hundred or so people left, all responded in unison, they were completely a group of dead soldiers at this time, and they regarded death as home.
Although they were few in number, they burst out with powerful combat power, and more than 100 people guarded the narrow courtyard entrance, blocking the hundreds of black-clothed soldiers outside, and they couldn't kill them.
"Chong, rush to Lao Tzu, whoever is the first to kill in will be rewarded with five hundred taels of silver."
A black-clothed rebel leader in the back, looking at the soldiers in front of him who couldn't kill them for a long time, was also angry, and shouted loudly.
"Kill!"
The rich bounty also stimulated the black-clothed soldiers in front of them, making them rush forward more ferociously.
Peng!
Hao Qiang raised his hand and shot a black-clothed soldier who rushed in front of him, and then threw it into the short gun, and fought hand-to-hand with the black-clothed soldier who rushed behind him.
In the face of hundreds of black-clothed soldiers who rushed over frantically, although the guards on Hao Qiang's side fought bravely and were not afraid of death, they gradually showed no support.
Bang bang bang!
Just when Hao Qiang and the others were about to lose their hold, there was a crisp sound from the west of the town.
"Listen, General, it's gunshots."
A guard, who was covered in injuries, supported Hao Qiang and said excitedly.
"Haha, it's gunshots, such continuous gunshots, Qi Wei must have brought someone over.
Brothers, General Qi Wei has brought people to support us, everyone hold on a little longer, and we will be saved.
Brothers, fight! ”
Hao Qiang roared.
"Fight!"
The last forty or fifty guards gathered around Hao Qiang, although they were injured one by one, they were like injured tigers, and they were more aggressive.
"Big brother, it's not good, there is an army of officers and soldiers in the west of the town who have killed them, it seems to be Li Zixiao's men, and the leader seems to be Qi Wei, the general under Li Zixiao."
At this time, a man in black outside the Han Mansion rode up to the black-clothed leader and reported.
"What? How did Li Zixiao's centaur appear here? How many people are there? ”
The leader of the rebels asked, slightly surprised.
"Brother Wei doesn't know why, Qi Wei will lead the army to appear here at this time, and we haven't received any news in advance.
However, they don't seem to have many people, it seems that there are only about 3,000 people, and now they are meeting Wu Laohu's men and horses in the west of the town. ”
"Only three thousand? It's not much, only bringing only 3,000 people, it's like rescuing Lu Xiangsheng from us, it's really a dream.
At this time, there are five or six thousand people gathered in Chunhua Town, so there is no need to be afraid of Qi Wei.
Perhaps, while we kill Lu Xiangsheng this time, we can also kill Qi Wei.
Qi Wei is Li Zixiao's right-hand man, and Li Zixiao has a big enmity with adults.
If we kill Qi Wei and get rid of Li Zixiao's right-hand man, the adults will be very happy, and then our brothers will be on the rise. ”
The leader of the rebels said with some excitement.
The real identities of these black-clothed soldiers in front of them are actually some of the officers and soldiers in the Jinling area, and some of them are private soldiers raised by the Lu family.
In recent years, Jiangnan has been much more comfortable than the north, and the rebel armies such as Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong have never fought here.
Not to mention, go to war with the northern Tartars.
Therefore, on weekdays, these officers and soldiers also deal with some grass cowards.
In the face of grass cowards who are not good at weapons and equipment in all aspects, these Jiangnan officers and soldiers can still be beaten.
This created a false impression for these Jiangnan officers and soldiers, who thought that their subordinates were very capable of fighting.
At this time, when the leader of the rebels heard that Qi Wei had only brought three thousand men, while there were five or six thousand on their side, he thought that they had won.
As everyone knows, the real elite soldiers do not win by quantity.
Just like at this time, the more than 100 guards led by Hao Qiang, as veterans of the Tianxiong Army, they are definitely elite.
It was these veterans of the Tianxiong Army, under the onslaught of hundreds of black-clothed soldiers, who stubbornly guarded the entrance of the backyard, so that these black-clothed soldiers could not be killed in the backyard of the Han Mansion.
And the combat power of the White Dragon Army is definitely not lost to Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong Army.
And this time, the three thousand White Dragon Army soldiers brought by Qi Wei were even more carefully selected, and each of them could be ten with one.
"Send an order to Wu Laohu, let them temporarily block Qi Wei's men and horses, and give us a stick of incense time, so that we can attack the Han Mansion and kill Lu Xiangsheng.
Then, let's turn back with Xie Datou's men and horses, join forces to eat Qi Wei's three thousand 'White Snake Army', kill Qi Wei, and cut off one of Li Zixiao's arms. ”
The black-clothed bandit leader gave the order with a little excitement, as if he had seen himself and received a rich reward afterwards.
"Yes, big brother."
Even with the little brother who followed him, his voice was a little happy at this time, and he turned around and prepared to give orders.
"Report, my lord......"
"What is it called, it is called a big master!"
At this time, a black-clothed soldier hurriedly ran over, daring to speak, but was interrupted by the leader of the black-clothed rebels.
"Yes, the big boss, it's not good, Lord Wu, no, it's the Wu boss who has an accident."
"What's wrong?"
"The men and horses of the Wu family were attacked by the officers and soldiers in the west of the town, and suffered heavy losses, and the Wu family has now fled with people."
"What!"
When the black-clad leader heard the news, he let out a scream, his eyes full of disbelief.
"Fart, Wu Laohu has more than 2,000 people, and the strength doesn't have to be much worse than ours.
That Qi Wei only brought 3,000 people, and it was less than two sticks of incense that had passed, and Wu Laohu was defeated, how could it be.
Wu Laohu's subordinates are soldiers, but they are notoriously ruthless and fierce, if you dare to fake the battle report, the general will ......, and the master will behead you. ”
Immediately, the leader of the black-clothed rebels scolded the black-clothed soldier who delivered the message, not believing the news at all.
What he didn't know was that Wu Laohu's soldiers were indeed ruthless and murderous.
That's when they deal with ordinary grass cobs, or ordinary people, they will be ruthless and murderous.
However, what they encountered this time was the 3,000 elites of the White Dragon Army led by Qi Wei, and they were no longer the farmers who had just put down their hoes and the group of swords and sticks they had encircled and suppressed in the past.
This time, instead of a herd of sheep, they faced a pack of fierce wolves.
And they can barely be regarded as a pug, a pug who can only bully the soft and fear the hard.
In the past, Wu Laohu, these pugs, were okay to deal with sheep, but now let them fight with a group of fierce wolves, and they immediately showed their original form.
Qi Wei led his army into Chunhua Town and engaged more than 2,000 men under Wu Laohu's command at the west end of the town.
The battle lasted less than a stick of incense, and these soldiers under Wu Laohu's command were killed by the White Dragon Army.
It can be said that it just collapsed at the first touch!
Wu Laohu was blinded, looking at the soldiers who were constantly being killed, and the soldiers who were frightened and desperate to flee for their lives, he also ran away decisively.
"What the big boss and the small one said is true, Wu Dangjia really ran away. The officers and soldiers had already come from the west of the town. ”
The black-clothed soldier kneeling on the ground was in a hurry, he was obviously telling the truth, why didn't you listen.
"Third child, you take someone over to have a look."
In the end, the leader of the black-clothed bandits was also a little uncertain, and for the sake of safety, he asked a cronie brother to bring someone over to take a look.
"Okay."
A black-clothed masked man next to him answered on his horse, and then led a few cavalrymen towards the west of the town.
"Pass the order down, within a stick of incense, if you can't attack it, you will give Lao Tzu home to pick up the child."
Seeing the cronies around him leaving, the black-clothed rebel leader roared angrily, causing the black-clothed soldiers in the Han Mansion to increase their offensive again.
Bang bang bang!
It was at this moment that suddenly a crisp burst of gunfire was heard again to their west, and this time they heard it more clearly.
It was as if the place where the shot had been fired was not far from them, startling the leader of the black-clad bandits.
"What's going on? Such a dense firecracker......"
Stomp, stomp!
Before the black-clad leader could finish his words, a scene at the end of the street in the distance made him stunned.
The cronie he had just sent out was now galloping back on horseback, and none of the cavalry who were following him were gone.
Moreover, the cronie was also lying on horseback, apparently wounded.
"The third child!"
The leader of the black-clothed rebels screamed, and immediately a black-clothed soldier rushed over.
"Big brother, withdraw quickly, Wu Laohu...... Really defeated, they killed. ”
The cronie was carried off his horse by the soldiers, and the black cloth covering his face was removed, and he saw that he was spitting blood from his mouth, and he said indistinctly.
The leader of the black-clothed rebels dismounted directly and held his cronies, feeling that his palms were wet, and he saw that he was full of blood.
"Third child, you were shot."
At this time, the leader of the black-clothed rebels saw that there was a crater behind this cronie, and red blood was gurgling out.
"Big brother, go quickly, if you don't leave, you'll ...... It's too late. ”
The cronie tugged at the collar of the black-clad rebel leader, said with the last of his strength, and then passed out.
"Wu Laohu was really defeated, he was defeated with less than a stick of incense, how could the people under Li Zixiao be so strong."
At this time, the leader of the black-clothed rebels also knew that all the reports from the soldiers just now were true.
At the same time, he was also terrified in his heart, and immediately shouted loudly: "Haven't you attacked yet? ”
At this time, seeing that Lu Xiangsheng was in the backyard of the Han Mansion, as long as they rushed in and killed Lu Xiangsheng, their task would be completed.
At this time, let him withdraw, he is really unwilling!
At this time, on Hao Qiang's side, there were less than thirty guards left, and he himself was even more wounded, as if he was giving a bloody person.
But they still stuck to the entrance of the hospital, but they didn't let the black-clothed soldiers outside kill in.
On the contrary, near the entrance to the hospital, there were pieces of corpses that fell, and those black-clothed soldiers had already been killed out of the psychological shadow, and they didn't dare to take the initiative to rush over first.
Stomp, stomp!
Just when the black-clothed leader of this chaotic gang was unwilling to withdraw like this, his brief hesitation directly caused a catastrophe.
At the end of the street in the distance, there was a loud sound of footsteps.
Then, at the end of the street in the distance, a group of white dragon soldiers walked neatly and with Nemi guns in their hands, and they were coming towards it.
Moreover, what surprised this black-clothed rebel was that the clothes worn by these white dragon soldiers were extremely strange and handsome.
But importantly, these garments seem to be made of cloth, not cotton or iron.
At this time, the White Dragon Army Musketeers had already changed into new military uniforms according to Li Zixiao's instructions a few years ago, instead of wearing heavy leather or cotton armor.
The military uniforms of these musketeers were made by Li Zixiao after the military uniforms of later generations, and they looked heroic when they wore them.
With the equipment of the Nimi gun in the White Dragon Army, Li Zixiao absolutely these musketeers no longer need to wear those heavy armors, they don't need to do it at all.
The musketeers of the White Dragon Army have transformed into a modern army.
As for the foot soldiers in the White Dragon Army, it is impossible for them to be completely eliminated for a while, but they will gradually reduce their number.
"Follow Lao Tzu and stop them."
The leader of the black-clothed rebels roared angrily at the black-clothed soldiers around him.
Those black-clothed soldiers raised their long knives and rushed towards the White Dragon Army.
"Ready, shoot!"
On the side of the White Dragon Army, Qi Wei looked at these black-clothed soldiers who rushed towards them, sneered, and gave the order to fire without giving an order for the musketeers to stop advancing.
Bang bang bang!
A crisp gunfire rang out again, and the White Dragon Musketeers, who were slowly advancing, pulled the trigger, and there was a wail in front of them.
The three thousand elites of the White Dragon Army brought by Qi Wei were all trained in the strictest training, and among the two thousand musketeers, they were able to shoot while marching in formation.
The platoon of the musketeers of the White Dragon Army has changed from three teams to two.
The advent of the Nimi Gun made the White Dragon Musketeers reload their ammunition faster.
Bang bang bang!
The gunfire did not stop, and the dense projectiles poured forward, shooting the black-clothed soldiers who rushed towards them in pieces.
After only two rounds of firing, after the black-clothed soldiers who rushed to the front fell thirty or forty people, the black-clothed soldiers behind were directly defeated.
They had never fought such a battle, and before they even touched the enemy's face, a large number of the soldiers who rushed in front fell to the ground.
These black-clothed soldiers are not good in the first place, let them bully and bully the people, fight a good fight, and they are still good.
Now, it is too difficult for them to rush forward in the face of a hail of bullets.
At this time, such White Dragon Army musketeers also appeared on several other streets, which frightened those black soldiers even more.
"Hell, run!"
One by one, the black-clothed soldiers were frightened, turned around and ran away desperately, and some directly threw away the weapons in their hands.
This scene made the White Dragon Army musketeers on Qi Wei's side feel speechless for a while, but they are also accustomed to it.
"What a rabble."
Qi Wei said with a look of disdain on his face.
