Chapter 61 Chengmai County Order
This brief pause gave the convoy time to reload, and perhaps the arquebus would not be able to prepare for a second firing in just a few tens of seconds, but the flintlock could do it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Hearing the order of the lord of the mountain, the native soldiers who stopped had no choice but to continue to charge into the smoke. A clear command came from the front: "Aim, target fifty steps!" ”
The soldiers did not understand the meaning of this command, and stepped over the corpses on the ground, and continued to rush forward, rushing through the puff of smoke, and their eyes suddenly became clear.
At this time, the native soldiers who rushed to the front were less than fifty meters away from the opponent's array, and they were horrified to find two rows of black holes with muzzles facing them, it was these firearms, which had taken the lives of many clansmen before, and it was about to be their turn in front of them.
"Fire!" Xia Nan's voice sounded, like a notice urging life.
There was no time to react, as the gunfire rang out again, the native soldiers were shot by the dense lead bullets, and the powerful momentum caused the lead bullets to continue to roll in the chest and abdomen of the native soldiers, until they expanded and deformed, tearing open huge wounds, and many people's intestines flowed out of the wounds. The momentum of the onslaught was once again halted, and the wounded who were not dead rolled among the corpses of their clansmen, screaming and bloodstaining the soil.
The native soldiers, who were not hit by this second volley, lost their courage when they saw the tragic situation in front of them, and one or two people began to run back, and then more and more people ran back. They could accept face-to-face fighting and death, but at a distance of less than a hundred paces, they could not even see the face of the enemy, so they suffered two heavy blows, and they could only be beaten and could not fight back, which made them extremely afraid.
The smoke was slowly blown away by the wind, and Huang Mengjia looked at the corpses in front of him in a daze, unable to react for a while, forgetting that the bullets crushed the scattered native soldiers.
The last time the two sides fought, after a fierce battle, although the other side won, but also suffered quite a lot of casualties, and during this period, he once had a chance to break through the opponent's array, such a battle is still within his understanding. And in this battle, the opponent's bird gun can shoot continuously in a short period of time, and the power is so huge, just two volleys took the lives of dozens of his subordinates, and he couldn't even touch the opponent's hair, such a way of fighting and casualty exchange ratio, has been beyond the scope of his cognition.
He looked at Mr. Yan with blank eyes, and found that Mr. Yan also had his mouth wide open, with an incredible expression on his face. He asked blankly: "Mr. Yan, the enemy is so sharp, how can you fight this?" ”
Mr. Yan came back to his senses and hurriedly replied: "Lord Yu, the firearms used by this private army are by no means the bird guns of the official army, and they are several times sharper than the bird guns. Now the enemy has only fifty or sixty firearms, so we cannot advance, and we have suffered heavy losses, and if we have more firearms, we can only flee from the wind! He paused for a moment, "We definitely can't beat them now, so while we are not injured, gather the team, and quickly evacuate here to avoid their edge." ”
Huang Mengjia asked unwillingly: "I have accumulated strength and endured humiliation for so many years, Chengmai County is in front of me, is it because of this inexplicable team?" ”
Mr. Yan persuaded: "If you stay in Qingshan, you don't have to worry about running out of firewood, as long as you preserve your strength, you will have a chance." Besides, the hero does not suffer immediate losses, first avoid his edge, and then we will make plans when he returns to Lingao. ”
Although Huang Mengjia was unwilling, he was not a simple-minded and reckless and impulsive person, so he adopted Mr. Yan's advice, gathered the rout, gave up attacking Chengmai County, spared the city wall and hurriedly withdrew to Chopping Foot Mountain.
The townsmen and inspectors on the city wall were stunned as they watched the soldiers who had besieged the city for many days retreat with a disgraced face, and they couldn't believe their eyes. Before, I only heard the sound of firecrackers from the west, and it didn't take long for the army to be withdrawn, could it be that reinforcements came? However, this direction is not right, and the officers and troops of the guard should drive from the east of the county seat, that is, the direction of Fucheng.
Seeing that the chopping foot mountain escaped faster than the previous battle, Xia Nan laughed: "I have a firearm in my hand, I have it in the world." A group of barbarians, and they still want to use their mantis arms as a car! ”
In this battle, the escort team did not suffer any casualties, but the other side left more than 40 corpses and fled in a hurry, which can be described as a complete victory.
Tidy up the team, come to the city wall of Chengmai County, Xia Nan to the wall trembling Xiang Yong shouted: "We are the Xiangyong of Lingao County, by the order of Wu Mingjin of Zhi County, come to relieve the siege of Gui County, now the mob has been beaten away by us, quickly open the city gate, let us go in to repair." ”
The Xiang Yong on the wall looked at the "Lingao County Xiang Yong" below, the queue was neat, the spears were lined up, and hundreds of people stood there without a single person making noise, looking more elite than the officers and soldiers. Look at yourself again, these people, their clothes are shabby, they are armed with wooden sticks and short knives, they are all sluggish, they are also village warriors, why is the gap so big?
The townsmen are not qualified to call the shots, and the old men who can call the shots dare not go up to the city wall, for fear that the swords and guns will have no eyes and hurt themselves.
A small leader of the patrol replied, "Wait a minute, good man, let's go and report to the top." After speaking, I hurriedly went to the county government to report the news.
It didn't take long for a group of people to gather around a middle-aged man in a green robe and official uniform to the city wall, this person had a small pointed face, a medium height, and looked like he was in his forties. He rushed to the city and said: "I am Lin Sanfeng, the commander of Chengmai County, and you and others claim to have beaten away the Li people who rioted, how can I prove it? It is said that it is Lingao Xiangyong, but there is a certificate? ”
This didn't sound good, Xia Nan narrowed his eyes, looked at the Lin County Order, and replied coldly: "We are indeed the Township Yong of Lingao County, and we were ordered by the Wu County Order to attack the mob of Chopping Foot Mountain, in order to relieve the siege of Chengmai, and the county government issued a document as proof." As for whether we ran away from the mob, can you let us into the city and tell us more. We rushed to Chengmai day and night, without a grain of rice, without drinking a sip of water, we fought with the mob, is it the hospitality of the county lord to let us stand outside the city like this? ”
Lin County Ling waved his hand: "Needless to say, hand over your documents, and wait for the county to verify your identity before talking about anything else!" "Ordered the soldiers to lower a hanging basket from the city wall, it seems that they do not intend to open the city gate, and want Xia Nan to hang the paperwork up.
Lin Weiye was furious: "This county order simply doesn't talk to people, doesn't do personnel, we help him fight the enemy, and he actually treats us like this." Let's go into town! ”
Xia Nan shook his head: "No matter how unbearable this Chengmai County is, it is also a county seat, we don't have any siege equipment, if we fight, there will inevitably be casualties." I don't spend training these players on such a senseless siege. The most important thing is that it has not yet come to the time to openly become an enemy of the government, and it is not possible to tear up your face with the government now. ”
