Chapter 24: One-sided slaughter
24
"Don't look back, no matter how anyone escapes, they will still be killed. The people behind filled the vacancy of Zhao Heitie, maintained the formation, and continued to move forward. ”
After Li Zixiao shouted at Quartz, he was taken care of by Zhao Heitie, who escaped, and he believed that Quartz would take care of this little matter.
Li Zixiao needed to solve the mess left behind by Zhao Heitie's escape and tidy up the formation as soon as possible, at this time they were about to collide with the routs in front of them.
Hearing the scream from Zhao Heitie behind him, everyone's hearts were full of joy, they didn't expect Li Zixiao to really do what he said and kill those who retreated.
This had a deterrent effect on everyone, and one by one they didn't dare to look back, they quickly sorted out the formation, rearranged it neatly, and the one person behind also took the vacancy left by Zhao Heitie after he fled.
The fact that Zhao Heitie retreated from the battle made the defeated soldiers on the opposite side see that before the battle started, the other party ran first, and they were all relieved.
Bandits are bandits after all, they are a group of rabble, and these routs are even more bold, even if they are fewer now, they are no longer afraid, they laugh loudly at Li Zixiao, and rush up faster.
After Li Zixiao adjusted the queue, he saw that several defeated soldiers had already rushed in. A few steps away from the front of their team, they all raised their weapons in their hands, screaming and killing.
"All guns up, stab!"
When he saw these bold officers and soldiers rushing in front of him, Li Zixiao suddenly waved his knife and pointed forward, and roared.
The dozen or so pikemen standing in the front row had nervous expressions, their palms holding the guns were full of sweat, but they didn't dare to wipe them, and even their legs were a little nervous, but they still held back and didn't retreat.
And with their previous experience in attacking the Li family's guards, these pikemen watched those routs rush to their approach, but they still didn't stab out, and they were waiting for Li Zixiao's order.
At the moment when Li Zixiao's command was shouted, the pikemen in the first row almost instinctively held their spears together, exerting their strength, and more than a dozen spears stabbed out towards the enemy who had regained in front of them almost at the same time.
"Kill!"
As the pikemen in front of him took a sharp step and stood firm, the spears in their hands stabbed out fiercely, shouting in unison.
The four fierce routs who rushed to the front had hideous faces, and they were very confident in their skills.
Just let them rush to these pikemen, and they will have the long knives in their hands to chop melons and vegetables, after all, these pikemen are the least suitable for close combat.
"What?"
But when they rushed to the pikemen, they were faced with a row of spears stabbing at his body, even if their martial arts were high, they couldn't dodge so many spears at the same time!
The four fierce routs let out an exclamation one after another, and their movements were not slow, and they hurriedly used their long knives and shields to block the spears that stabbed at them.
Poof, poof......
It's a pity that even if these four most ferocious routs have some martial arts, but in the face of this sudden spear thrust, blocking one or two, there will be another spear stabbing their bodies from other directions.
The sound of a few spear blades piercing into human flesh and blood, accompanied by a few terrible screams, the four routers who rushed to the front were stabbed out of blood holes everywhere, and they fell to the ground and wailed with their wounds.
The several rout soldiers who followed closely behind showed disbelief on their faces when they saw the painful appearance of the four people in front of them who had just rushed up and were stabbed to the ground and fell to the ground wailing.
Such a scene was something they had never imagined before, and several officers and soldiers who followed them were also startled, and immediately came to a sharp brake to stop their steps, looking at the scene in front of them with the same incredulous eyes, and did not dare to rush forward recklessly.
"Pay attention to the formation, flat-end spears, pay attention to the pace, listen to my commands, step forward, left and right ......"
For such a situation, Li Zixiao had already expected that the group of pikemen in the front row let out deafening cheers one by one after seeing the rout soldiers who had been stabbed to death by themselves.
At this moment, the fear of the officers and soldiers disappeared, and these officers and soldiers were nothing more than that, with the same two shoulders against one head, there was no need to be afraid of them.
So Li Zixiao immediately shouted loudly, so that his subordinates could concentrate, and continued to march forward in rhythm.
These people were already very familiar with Li Zixiao's password, and as soon as Li Zixiao gave the password, they immediately held their spears flat, walked neatly, and continued to push forward.
They stepped over the bodies of the officers and soldiers who had fallen to the ground, and quickly pressed towards the nearest routs.
"Raise your gun, kill!"
When Li Zixiao saw that he could reach the spear again, he suddenly yelled again.
"Kill!"
A dozen spearmen in the first row listened to his command, and immediately shouted in unison, and the spears in their hands quickly stabbed out towards the enemy in front of them.
"Ah......h
A few more terrible screams rang out, and this time several unlucky routs fell victim to their guns, falling in a pool of blood, with disbelief in their dying eyes.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
At this time, the continuous killing of these routs made Li Zixiao's group of people have dispelled all the fear of the officers and soldiers in their hearts, and they shouted in unison with Li Zixiao, and the momentum was booming.
And the rout soldiers were collectively stupid, they never thought that these bandits were so fierce, just now they obviously saw that some of them were cowardly and escaped, how could they become a group of murderous demons in the blink of an eye?
And they just can't figure it out, obviously these bandits are stupidly lined up, and they can't show their martial arts at all, why are the most ferocious companions rushed up and killed in an instant?
Seeing that this group of pikemen began to advance in line again under the command of Li Zixiao's command, the remaining officers and soldiers suddenly lost all their courage, and they turned around one by one and began to flee after crying for their fathers and mothers.
"Don't run, all stop, rush up and kill this group, hey!"
In the face of the rout soldiers who fled frantically, no matter how the officer shouted, no one listened to his blind command anymore, what a rabble this is, it is simply a group of murderous killing gods!
These routs were originally defeated from the ranks of other Ming officers and soldiers, and they were all very afraid of death, otherwise they would not be routs, at this time seeing the enemy so fierce, their instinctive reaction was to flee.
As the saying goes, defeat is like a mountain, and the pikes stabbed two groups of routers to death in a row, completely shattering the psychological defense line of this group of routers, and they no longer dared to rush forward, and most of them chose to escape.
As soon as Li Zixiao saw this group of routs, he began to flee, with an excited smile on his face, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Dazhu, lead the sword and shield hands, and let Lao Tzu chase them up and kill them."
Quartz, you ride a horse after the fleeing rout, and you are not allowed to let one go. ”
"Yes, the big boss, all the sword and shield soldiers will kill me!" Zhou Dazhu replied loudly, waved the long knife in his hand, and took a group of sword and shield soldiers to cover the past.
And Quartz rode on the war horse, kicked the horse's belly, and the war horse carried him forward and ran quickly, on the back of the war horse, he repeatedly opened his bow and arrows, and shot out long arrows, shooting those fleeing routs to the ground one by one.
For a while, Li Zixiao's morale was like a rainbow, and the sword and shield soldiers under the leadership of Zhou Dazhu caught up with those defeated and retreating soldiers, and when they caught up, they were hacked to death with the long knives in their hands.
In the end, the pikemen all let Li Zixiao go out, and then they screamed one by one, followed closely behind Li Zixiao, chasing and killing those defeated and retreating soldiers.
Li Zixiao ran very fast, and soon caught up with a rout, he hated the beastly behavior of these officers and soldiers, and his subordinates did not allow any mercy at all, and waved a single knife in his right hand and slashed down fiercely.
"Ah......h
Only a miserable howl was heard, and a stream of bloody arrows rose into the sky, and the officer and soldier who was caught up by him immediately slashed into the chest from the right shoulder, opening a huge hole.
It was from the arteries in the great wound that the arrows of blood erupted, and the soldier had only time to scream before rolling to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust on the dry ground, and a large stream of blood immediately soaked into the ground.
The last scene that caught his eye was a pair of big feet stepping over his body, and then rushing forward, followed by countless pairs of feet, stepping over his body, followed by the other routs in front of him.
This is the first time Li Zixiao has killed a person since crossing the late Ming Dynasty, when he hacked a rout to death with a knife, the hot blood splashed his face, he didn't have much fear, and even in the face of these bloody battlefields, he was particularly excited.
Once one side broke and fled on the battlefield, the next battle became a one-sided slaughter, and Zhou Dazhu led a group of sword and shield soldiers to chase and kill those fleeing routs everywhere, and he had already forgotten their fear just now.
Chasing the frightened officers and soldiers everywhere, swords and guns were fired, that is, it took a cup of tea to put these bandits to the ground one by one.
"Where to run, kill!"
Among them was a burly man with a gun, who was the fastest in the pursuit of the fleeing rout, and one by one the rout was caught up by him, and he raised his hand to nail the rout to the ground with a shot.
This battle, which has developed to the present, has evolved into a one-sided slaughter of this group of routed soldiers by Li Zixiao's bandits.
This burly man is none other than the big man surnamed Liu, who was defeated by quartz before and then captured by Li Zixiao, his real name is Liu Chong, and Liu Chong temporarily joined Li Zixiao's men at this time.
Of course, this was not his original intention, mainly because Uncle Zhou spoke, because he asked him to stay by Li Zixiao's side to protect him, and Uncle Zhou was Liu Chong's life-saving benefactor, and the reason why Liu Chong was a guard for the Li family was also to see Uncle Zhou's face.
So, Liu Chong chose to stay, he was also very curious about this different bandit, so he planned to stay and see, anyway, he was homeless.
And it's even more like Quartz doesn't know each other, the two got acquainted because of martial arts, and their heroic personalities made the two become good friends in a short period of time, and he also wanted to stay for this point.
Liu Chong was a small flag officer in the Northern Frontier Army, and even resisted the invasion of the Tartars, and was skilled in martial arts, but he was framed for offending his boss, and killed the officer in a fit of rage and fled.
Since then, Liu Chong has also become a felony wanted by the imperial court, when Liu Chong was hungry and sick, it was Zhou Bo who saved Liu Chong's life, so Liu Chong, who was ill, decided to stay by Zhou Bo's side to repay his kindness, and at the same time evade the arrest of the government.
This time, the convoy led by Zhou Bo was robbed by Li Zixiao by mistake, and when Zhou Bo left, he simply let Liu Chong stay, first, to protect Li Zixiao, and at the same time, it was more convenient for him to avoid the pursuit of the government.
After all, Liu Zhong followed Zhou Bo's side, but he had to go in and out of major towns, and he had to deal with those people in the government all the time, maybe his true identity would be discovered at any time, and it was better to stay with Li Zixiao and be a bandit.
Liu Chong stayed, and Li Zixiao, who suddenly got such a fierce general, was secretly happy in his heart, he had taken a fancy to Liu Chong, and was thinking about any way to subdue him for his own use.
If you really want to sleep, someone will send a pillow, after all, Liu Chong was able to survive dozens of moves in the hands of quartz before he was defeated, which is enough to prove his strength, such a fierce general Li Zixiao does not want to let go.
And participated in a battle with these defeated soldiers, for these defeated soldiers, he showed no mercy, all of them were stabbed to death with one shot, and his marksmanship was stable and ruthless, which was the killing skill that he had practiced after countless battles on the battlefield.
Liu Chong hated these bandits who killed innocent people, and the methods used by these soldiers to kill ordinary people were no different from those Tartars outside the gates, they were all extremely cruel.
After all, those Tartars outside the Guanxi are aliens, and it is understandable that they are ruthless in killing the people in the Guan, but these are the officials and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and they actually treat the people like this, which makes Liu Chong's chest burn with rage, and he shoots mercilessly.
