"Liu Qian always has an order, you are not allowed to retreat, those who violate the order will not blame us for not recognizing people with bows and arrows, go back, all go back, as long as you knock open the gate of the village, even if you have a great achievement, the Lord of Qianhu will have a heavy reward!"
Those villagers who were about to retreat, after hearing the shouts of the officers and soldiers and archers, hesitated a little at first, but immediately someone scolded: "His grandmother's."
You people are really standing and talking without backache, why don't you rush to the front if you have the ability, I didn't see a bandit on the wall of the wall throwing fire canisters into the ground, if you are not afraid of being burned to death, then you should rush up yourself. ”
The person in charge of commanding the archers was a general flag officer, who was also a close confidant of Liu Jinbao's subordinates, and listened to the retreating villagers speak like this.
The chief flag officer also frowned, and scolded directly: "You don't talk nonsense with Lao Tzu, we always have an order, and those who retreat without permission will be killed, and you are ordered to continue to attack, even if there is a sea of swords and fires in front, you are not allowed to retreat."
Come on, take an arrow, see who dares to run back, and see who continues to retreat without permission, shoot him to death. ”
As he spoke, the archers immediately shot a barrage of arrows, but instead of actually hitting the bodies of the villagers who wanted to retreat, they shot them at the ground in front of them.
The arrows shot immediately formed a straight diagonal line in front of the villagers who wanted to escape back, and the villagers were so shocked that they hurriedly stopped their feet and did not dare to run forward again
"You bastards listened, next time you dare to run back without permission, don't blame Lao Tzu for being polite, go back fucking and continue to bang on the door!"
The chief flag officer in the Ming army waved his waist knife and shouted to those villagers again.
Although the villagers were reluctant to go back and continue the attack, they could not escape, and this officer and soldier had no relatives or reason with them, and if they turned their faces, they would not dare to shoot arrows at them.
So the villagers really had no choice, so they had to scold and reluctantly turn around and return to the front of the walled gate, and began to pull back the crash again, sprinkled the fire on the log with sand, and rushed towards the walled gate with a roar again.
After a few loud bangs, although the gate of the White Snake Village was very strong, it could not withstand the violent impact of such a heavy rushing car, and the horizontal wood on the gate finally could no longer bear it.
Only to hear a click, the door bolt was completely broken into several sections, the wooden sticks of the top door were also broken one after another, and the village gate 'boom', it was rushed up by the villagers, knocked in from the outside.
"The gate of the village has been slammed open, the stockade is broken, the brothers rush in, don't let those poles run away, kill!"
Liu Jinbao had been staring at the gate of the village to watch the situation, and as soon as he saw that the gate had been knocked open, he immediately jumped up from the big chair at a speed that was not commensurate with his size.
I saw that he stretched out his hand and pulled out his green steel sword from his waist, and pointed the tip of the sword towards the gate of the village and roared loudly, but it was also very majestic.
Most of the low-level officers and soldiers of the Ming army were equipped with waist swords, which had stronger actual combat performance than swords, while the civil officials and eunuchs of the supervising army were accustomed to wearing swords to show the difference between their identities and martial arts.
So Liu Jinbao spent a lot of money and asked people to build a treasure knife for him, sharpening iron like clay, hanging it on his waist every day to show off.
When the gate of the village was knocked open, the officers and soldiers outside and the villagers all cheered loudly at the same time, at this time Liu Jinbao knew that the opportunity had come, and did not hesitate to send the officers and soldiers in his hands up.
With Liu Jinbao's order, his officers and soldiers were like being beaten with chicken blood, waving the weapons in their hands, screaming and killing towards the wide open gate.
It's just that those villagers are also afraid of the pit, and no one dares to take the initiative to rush into the cottage at this time, after breaking open the gate for the officers and soldiers, they retreat to both sides, and let the officers and soldiers who rushed up behind them go first.
And the more than 700 people under Liu Jinbao obviously didn't have such thoughts, and they all rushed into the cottage at this time.
As soon as they rushed into the gate, these officers and soldiers thought that there would be bandits rushing over to stop them, and then a fierce hand-to-hand combat broke out.
But after they rushed into the gate, they found that no one had come to stop them, and Liu Jinbao also scolded and scolded, under the escort of his own soldiers, lined up the crowd and squeezed into the gate.
"Brothers, slaughter all the poles in the stockade for the official, and leave no one behind, and when you go back, the official will be rewarded, kill it!"
Under the command of Liu Jinbao, the officers and soldiers who rushed into the cottage all rushed in excitedly, and rushed into the village one by one.
At this time, of course, Li Zixiao couldn't let these officers and soldiers enter the village, and the place at the gate of the village happened to be the place where he chose to fight with the officers and soldiers.
The gate of the cottage is about two meters wide, and it can only restrict a small number of officers and soldiers from rushing in at a time, and as for the Fran machine guns, tiger squat cannons, archers, and musketeers outside the cottage, they are not at all threatening to him at this time.
In this way, Li Zixiao dared to lead his soldiers to a decisive battle with the officers and soldiers, after all, without the help of those firearms, he really didn't care about the combat power of these officers and soldiers.
And the officers and soldiers who rushed to the front, who had completely rushed to the gate of the village and entered the White Snake Village, were terrified one by one at this time.
These people stopped one after another, because two phalanxes of more than 100 people appeared in front of them, and these people were quietly and closely arranged together, standing as tall as pine.
These people held a four-meter-long spear tightly in their hands, and the head of the spear glowed with cold light, and at this time, they were aiming at the front of the gate of the village, and they all looked at them with cold eyes.
And in the open space between the two captains of gunners, there were several people standing, and in the middle was a black thing that everyone was familiar with, it turned out to be a tiger squatting cannon, which was staring at them with cold eyes.
"Put!"
I only heard Wang Zirui standing behind the tiger squatting cannon, looking at the officers and soldiers who had just poured in from the gate of the cottage, and said a word coldly.
Sun Dazhuang, who had already completed the loading of the Tiger Squat Cannon, responded excitedly, and then adjusted the muzzle of the cannon, and stabbed a burning red fire tong into the fire door behind the Tiger Squat Cannon.
Peng!
A low muffled sound sounded, and the tiger squat cannon opened fire on the officers and soldiers who rushed in at the gate of the village, and the tiger squat cannon shook violently, and the muzzle of the cannon angrily spewed out a large ball of flames.
More than 100 pieces of lead swept towards the enemy group in front of him like a fan, and the large projectile at the bottom also shot out at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye, and it was stuck in the enemy group.
I saw that among the officers and soldiers and the crowd of villagers, a blood mist suddenly rose, and in an instant, the officers and soldiers who had just rushed through the gate of the village let out a miserable howl like killing pigs, and fell to the ground with blood spurting all over their bodies.
Under the intensive bombardment of scattered bombs, the officers and men of the cottage, who were only a few dozen steps away from them, became the best targets for bombardment.
The bodies of those officers and soldiers were almost smashed into a sieve by the flying scattered bullets, and the large projectile crashed into the crowd, first directly destroying the upper body of a person.
Only two legs were left standing alone on the ground, losing the upper half of his body, and then the large projectile continued to fly forward, castration unabated, and directly drew a bloody path in the middle of the crowd.
As for those scattered projectiles, the lethal power was also extremely strong, and one bullet entered the lower abdomen of this officer and soldier, causing him to vomit blood and fall to the ground on his stomach, and he still couldn't survive.
Under such circumstances, the Tiger Squat Cannon can be said to have exerted its greatest power, and it has brought down nearly 20 enemies in one shot, and it can be said that there is no more suitable attack on such a target than these officers and soldiers who rushed in!
"Archer, fire, bird, fire."
At this time, even Luo Chao, who was above the wall, commanded dozens of archers and birdsmiths to fire at the officers and soldiers who rushed out from under the wall.
More than a dozen musketeers picked up their muskets and opened the lid door of the medicine pool, each aiming at a target, and almost simultaneously pulled down the machine bracket in Luo Chao's command, and the fire rope stuck on the dragon head clicked and fell, and the burning fire arquebus fell into the medicine pool filled with primer.
The rate of fire of the archers was much faster than that of the birds, and I saw that these archers kept pulling their arrows with their bows and shooting them at the heads of the officers and soldiers rushing out below, and suddenly there were bursts of miserable howls.
I heard more than 20 gunshots almost at the same time, and puffs of gunpowder smoke immediately erupted from the muzzles of these 20 muskets, and the projectiles also flew out of the muzzles like lightning under the help of the deflagration of gunpowder, heading straight for the target.
After more than 20 bird guns rang out, more than a dozen of the officers and soldiers below suddenly rose up with clouds of blood and a series of screams, and the people who were shot one after another screamed and fell to the ground.
It's a pity that the reloading speed of these bird guns and tiger squat cannons is too slow, and Li Zixiao doesn't have time to wait there for them to slowly reload the projectile and refire.
At this time, he knew that it was the turn of Zhou Dazhu and Liu Chong's two teams of soldiers to attack.
So soon, under the command of Li Zixiao, Zhou Dazhu and Liu Chong each fought their own soldiers, lined up neatly, and slowly forced out the officers and soldiers at the gate of the village.
The line of pikemen in the front row had also put their spears flat, and the sharp tips of the thirty spears flashed coldly, pointing neatly forward.
The two teams of soldiers of Zhou Dazhu and Liu Chong outflanked the officers and soldiers of the Zhaimen from the left and right sides respectively, and did not give these people a chance to escape into the cottage.
"The pikemen obeyed the order, walked in unison, one, two, one, ......"
Then these pikemen, one by one, all pulled their necks in unison, and the green tendons on their necks jumped high, and at the same time shouted hysterically: "Victory!" Win! ”
Under the command of the slogan shouted by Zhou Dazhu, the first platoon of spearmen took a step, holding their spears flat, and pushed them towards the officers and soldiers who were already in chaos on the opposite side like a forest of guns.
"All the pikemen obey the order, put the guns flat, walk in unison, one, two, one ......" On the other side, Liu Chong also followed Zhou Dazhu and they outflanked the past, and ordered loudly.
"Mighty! Mighty! The more than 100 people who followed Liu Chong shouted in unison, with a loud voice and high morale.
The first row of pikemen held their spears flat, and the second row of pikemen also lowered the spears in their hands, the tips of their spears rose slightly, pointing to the front in mid-air, and at the same time faintly pointing to the backs of the pikemen in the previous row.
Because the pikemen in the second platoon themselves knew that when they went into battle, they were not only soldiers, but also played the role of overseer to the first platoon.
If the first platoon of soldiers is killed and someone turns around and escapes without authorization, then they will implement the military law of the White Snake Village and directly stab the person who escaped from the battle in front of him with one shot.
This is Li Zixiao's idea, to play a supervisory role for his soldiers on the battlefield, that is, to let all his subordinates know that as long as they go into battle, their whole team can only move forward, forward and then forward.
No matter how many enemies lay ahead, even if it was a trench or a cliff, no one should hesitate until he was given the order to stop marching and retreat.
Because behind them, there is a person staring at them, so as to let everyone know that those who escape from the battle have only a dead end, and only by fighting a bloody way forward can they have a chance to survive.
This move is very powerful, and it is a powerful deterrent for everyone under his command, so after this move, when charging at the enemy, Li Zixiao does not have to worry about someone in the team escaping.
At the very least, if someone escapes, they will be stabbed to death by the people behind them, and it will not cause even more chaos in the entire formation.
Although Li Zixiao did this a little too ruthlessly, it was very effective, in order to let his subordinates move forward bravely on the battlefield and not be defeated, the only way to do this is to use this extreme method for the time being.
The pikemen in the first row had tense faces one by one, and with a hint of determination in their eyes, they stared at the officers and soldiers in front of them who were already in a mess.
The spears of more than four meters trembled slightly with their steps, forming a field of spears in front of them, and pushed straight towards those enemies.
The speed at which they advanced had always been under the command of Liu Zhong and Zhou Dazhu, and they had always maintained a rhythm, so that their formation did not look messy even when they were marching.
At this time, those officers and soldiers who had already rushed into the gate knew that they could not retreat, and looked at the two pikemen Zhou Dazhu and Liu Chong who were approaching them step by step, so that they had to prepare to resist desperately.
"Come on, rush up and fight them, it's better than waiting to die like this! His grandmother's is a man, so she rushes forward to Lao Tzu! Fight your way out. ”
A strong man shouted loudly, he was a small flag officer, he had seen blood on weekdays, and he was more courageous, and when he saw that someone had already reacted, he was ready to go up and play for his life, and took the opportunity to cheer up his companions around him.
He raised the machete in his hand, quarreled hoarsely, and rushed forward with the two captains of spearmen who were rushing over, Zhou Dazhu and Liu Chong.
Now that there were men taking the lead, the courage of the rest was also greatened, and many people let out a cry and rushed forward with the big man.
