Chapter 419: Shooting
Laga hears "boom, boom······" The sound of the bowstring vibrating, and the sound of "bang, bang······" There was a dense sound, and he quickly put the shield on his head.
With the sound of breaking the air, on the ground around him, there was a "poof, poof······ The sound of feathered arrows sticking into the ground kept coming.
Suddenly, the shield on Laga's arm slammed, and there was a "duh" sound from it, which was the muffled sound of a sharp weapon entering the wood.
Raka didn't need to open his shield to see that it was his shield feather arrow that had been hit, and a light arrow was stuck in it.
However, he did not worry about his own safety at all, because his defensive posture was very standard, and he did not miss the protection target.
Moreover, at this distance, the light arrows fired by the Huaxia army would definitely not be able to penetrate his shield made of hardwood wrapped in three layers of cowhide.
At this time, what he was most worried about was the firearms on the other side.
Although he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, and his colleagues didn't believe him, in his heart, he had already decided that the kind that could pass through 10 miles and directly hit his camp must be a firearm, and what he was most afraid of was that thing.
Of course, this is because he ran relatively fast on the battlefield of the Battle of Dalinghe at the beginning, and he has not seen other hot weapons of the Huaxia Army, so he will think so.
And the scouts of the Huaxia Army, at this time, are also annoyed, they are annoyed, this time, because they need to rush to the ferry ports as quickly as possible to prepare for the whole army, they can't bring too heavy supplies.
Therefore, the weight of 10 pounds is not clear, because of the huge weight, it is disliked, and it is not carried.
Now, in the midst of the battle, when they found that the bow and arrow could not handle the enemy on the opposite side, they realized that the powerful weapon of the rifle was really indispensable.
However, what can be done, now, you can't run back to get the rifles, this group of Chinese scouts, can only use bows and arrows, and a small number of rifles, alternately cover and shoot, and slowly begin to approach the riverside.
However, because the difference in weapons was not large, both sides had shields, and the damage of bows and arrows was limited, neither side rushed to charge, but cautiously tested, fired at each other, and stalemate.
However, it didn't take long for the stalemate to become apparent to Laga that another group of reinforcements had arrived on the other side.
It was still a team of Chinese soldiers on horseback, but judging by the size of the war horse and the running posture, it seemed to be just some stuff like a horse.
When the cavalry arrived, they quickly began to dismount and form a group, and it was only at this time that Laga saw clearly that all those men were musketeers.
Laga muttered and resented in his heart, "Musketeers can also fight on horseback? ”
He knew very well that not to mention his three-layer cowhide shield, even if it was a shield covered with iron skin, it would not be able to stop the fire of the musket.
From where he stood, to the opposite bank of the river, it was only sixty paces (90 meters) away.
Laga didn't know how far the other man's musket had ranged, but judging by the length of the tube, it was not much different from the Lumi gun.
Even if it is not as powerful as Lu Mi Gong, at this distance, it can also give him and his subordinates a good look.
Laga is not the kind of old stubborn who is incorrigibly pedantic, and none of them can be killed from the sea of corpses and blood, and none of them are simple-minded characters.
Therefore, he thought about it for a while, and then said categorically, "The whole army retreats, all of them are for Lao Tzu to retreat, and when the enemy goes down the river and approaches our side, he will shoot them with bows and arrows." ”
When they heard the order, the more than ten armored soldiers in Niu Lu, where he was, moved almost simultaneously, and all of them retreated.
However, it is still an old problem, the language is not understood, so those born Jurchens are a beat slower again, and when the soldiers retreat, they still stand still for unknown reasons.
Raga waved his horsewhip, walked over, and cleaned up one by one, and the soldiers kept shouting the words "stand back", so that these raw Jurchens understood, and followed the retreating armor soldiers, and retreated more than 20 steps together.
At this time, the Huaxia army array on the opposite side had also walked to the bank of the river.
More than a dozen of them formed a row, the people in the front row were holding shields, and the people in the back were holding bows and arrows, forming a dense array, and under the order of an officer, the Ming troops in the formation shouted the word "tiger" and began to cross the river.
In the scout of the golden array after returning from crossing the river just now, there was a white flag of Jia Lae Zhen, and at this moment, he had regained his strength and composure, and immediately began to take over the command.
He ordered dozens of Houjin soldiers on this side to line up in the same formation, and in the front row were slowly a row of soldiers holding shields for defense.
In the back, there were several rows of Eight Banners soldiers armed with bows and arrows ready to shoot.
After putting his team in order and preparing for battle, Laga glanced south, the direction where Dordor was leading.
In the distance, he found that there seemed to be smoke and dust wafting there, and he knew in his heart that as long as they could stay here for a while, reinforcements would arrive.
Duoduo is the banner owner of the positive white flag, and this expedition, with it, is also the elite of the positive white flag, and the vanguard sent by Duoduo must also be the elite.
As long as the elites can get there before the ferry misses, there will be no problem.
However, all of this has a premise, that is, they can hold the ferry for a while. The Huaxia army will not sit idly by and watch Houjin's reinforcements arrive.
So, now, there must be a bloody battle.
When the array formed by the Huaxia Army passed through the middle of the Fuzhou River, the Jia Lae Zhen, who was in the white flag, suddenly shouted loudly.
In the Houjin Army array, which had long been ready for battle, most of the people subconsciously began to release arrows.
"Jump, jump······" With the sound of the bowstring vibrating, the special feathered arrows with heavy arrows shot straight into the river in a slight arc.
Those Huaxia troops are also veterans of a hundred battles, and they have also been taught how to defend during training.
Therefore, one by one, they all slyly half-squatted, and the vital parts of their bodies were firmly hidden behind the shields.
The rows of people at the back of the array also lowered their waists, dodging behind their shields, and used projectiles to return fire.
All kinds of arrows of different specifications and shapes are nailed to each other on the shields of both sides, and they constantly make a "aggressive" sound.
It's a pity that both sides are old birds, and this kind of mutual shooting almost didn't have much impact on both sides.
However, with the side of the Huaxia Army, white smoke appeared on the shore, and the rifle on the opposite side finally fired.
In a deafening roar, a shield-wielding Jurchen in front of Laga screamed, and was slammed back by the impact of the one-headed projectile, almost falling to the ground.
Raga hurriedly reached out and grabbed the raw Jurchen and helped him raise the shield again, and as he raised it, he glanced at it hurriedly.
At this glance, he clearly saw that there were several cracks in the wooden plank behind the shield.
