Chapter 270: Recruits, Please Close Your Eyes

In the fields on both sides of the road, the green seedlings are growing well, and the wild dogs grinned and greeted the people around them with a smile: "Tell me to go down, be careful, don't step on these green seedlings, it's all ours when you turn around, if you step on it, you have to replant." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Zou Ming's mood is quite heavy, this Lanling County, in the past, was not inferior to Feng County's prosperous county governance, in fact, most of the county governance of Shayang County is still quite rich, now they are not far from Lanling County, but along the way, there are almost no shadows.

"Where has all this man gone?" He said depressedly.

"Needless to say, either you escaped, or you were wrapped up and left by the Shuntian Army." The wild dog said: "Let's fight back, maybe there will be Lanling locals inside." ”

Regarding the Shuntian Army's practice of encompassing the people in one place, Zou Ming could not do anything except express his anger. "I hope these people will run faster when they fight, and don't give their lives to the Shuntian army, otherwise if we die too much, we will be in trouble in the future."

"Swords and guns have no eyes, this is really uncertain, if it is really a big scuffle, it doesn't mean that he can run away if he wants to." The wild dog said lightly, Zou Ming has not experienced a real big battle, he has experienced it, the tragic scene of tens of thousands of people together in chaos makes people's hearts palpitate. If you want to run, there are swords and swords everywhere, and you don't have any space to do anything else except keep waving the knife in your hand, because as long as you dare to have the slightest relaxation, the next moment you will be cut down by a random knife. Lie down and play dead? Don't be funny, you'll be trampled to death.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded in the distance, and the wild dogs raised their heads and saw Yu Chao and his scouts rushing back like flying. looked at Yu Chao's face, but he was not very happy.

"What, you're at a loss?" The wild dog raised his eyebrows, the two armies fought, the first to clash was the scouts of both sides, the scouts, and the scouts were also the most elite people in the army, they either did not understand the army, but their personal ability was beyond doubt, looking at Yu Chao's appearance, the wild dogs thought that they had suffered a loss in the confrontation with the other party's scouts. This is a common occurrence in the military.

"What's the loss?" Yu Chao pursed his lips, "The scout on the other side saw us from a distance, turned around and ran, I originally wanted to catch two alive to find out the specific situation of Lanling County, this is good, even if I put on my wings, I can't catch up with them." Really, what kind of bullshit scout, how can anyone run away from such a distance? ”

The wild dog laughed, "This is the Suncheon Army." By the way, what else have you learned? ”

"It's all retracted." Yu Chao snorted and said: "Tens of thousands of people have all shrunk back into the county seat, and now there is no one left in the camp of the Shuntian Army outside." ”

The wild dog laughed, "Bao Bufan was scared by us, and when he saw us coming, he actually shrank back into the city, no matter if he didn't come out, we didn't bother to pay attention to him, and we didn't have time to entangle with him." If he wants to shrink in the county seat, let's shrink in the city, let's go ours. If he dares to come out, we'll clean him up again. ”

Bao Bufan stood at the head of the city, watching the banner of the Taiping Army in the distance gradually approaching, dozens of horses at the front, and a little later, at most there were only more than 1,000 infantry.

Bao Bufan's face gradually distorted, and he slowly turned his head, looking at Lu Yifan on the side, his teeth clenched, "This is what you call thousands of cavalry?" ”

If it was thousands of cavalry, naturally all of them had already appeared at this time, and it made no sense that the infantry had come, but the cavalry had not yet seen it.

Lu Yifan shrank back, "General, or, or their brigade of cavalry went elsewhere." ”

"Fuck your shit!" Bao Bufan was furious, and splitting his face was a slap in the face. Dozens of cavalry and thousands of infantry actually scared tens of thousands of themselves into hiding in the county seat. Originally, his own defeat in Feng County had already made the other people in the camp look sideways at him.

"General, look, they have follow-up troops, look!" Lu Yifan, who had been slapped in the face, saw another group of teams in the distance and shouted.

Bao Bufan raised his head, and sure enough, at the end of his vision, the banner of the Taiping Army appeared again. But the number of people is not large, and the two groups together will never exceed 3,000 people. And the thousands of cavalry in Lu Yifan's mouth were nowhere to be seen at all.

"Prepare to go out of the city to fight, the whole army to fight out of the city!" Bao Bufan swung his fists fiercely, and the only way for him to regain the pride and dignity he had lost in Feng County was to defeat the enemy in front of him.

"Let all the men, take up arms, and rush out of the city." Bao Bufan roared angrily: "If you don't wince, you will cut it, if you hesitate, if you don't fight well, if you don't fight well." ”

The rumbling war drums sounded in the city, the city gate suddenly opened, the earth-shattering cry sounded, the wild dogs squinted their eyes, and from the wide open city gate, the crowd of black seedlings poured out, there was no formation, and there was no attack echelon, the only thing that made people feel was that there were many people.

"Round Formation!" The wild dog raised the iron knife in his hand and waved it at Yu Chao: "Yu Chao, you go to the circle to hide first." ”

"Hide, why hide? We're cavalry. Yu Chao said dissatisfiedly, "Let's go and kill for a while first." ”

"Pull it down!" The wild dog pointed at the black pressure that came over like a tide: "With your idea, how many steps do you think you can rush forward?" Our Taiping Army now has dozens of good horses here, and if you don't have any fun, the boss will have to die of distress. ”

Yu Chao snorted: "Dare to love you, you feel sorry for the horse!" ”

"Naturally, people are easy to find now, the best war horses, but it's really hard to find, go to the circle to avoid it, if you feel idle and panicked, then help shoot a few arrows!" The wild dog laughed.

Yu Chao shrugged his shoulders and looked at the soldiers who had formed a circle, most of them looked calm, and the few of them, although they were forced to calm down, their trembling bodies revealed their true thoughts in their hearts. Calmly are veterans, at least they are also soldiers who participated in the last Fengxian War, and those who are nervous are naturally some soldiers who have just expanded.

"Raise your knife and close your eyes!" The wild dog's roar made Yu Chao, who was stepping into the circle, couldn't help but look back again, but the wild dog's order to close his eyes was only effective for those recruits, while the veterans' eyes widened. This is the local method of the death camp, and the recruits who participate in the battle for the first time will be ordered to close their eyes and just listen to the order to wield their swords.

War is brutal, and the vast majority of people simply cannot adapt to such a tragic battle when they first set foot on the battlefield, especially a unit like the death battalion. And this kind of defensive warfare, the requirements for the coordination and consistency of the soldiers are quite high, and there is a soft threat in one place, and it is easy for the whole team to be penetrated.

How many Shuntian troops are they facing now, the wild dogs have taken a look with experience, and they have already left the city and are rushing towards them, but there are tens of thousands of people, and they are still pouring out in the dark. The crowd tactics of the Shuntian Army are really handy.

It is human nature to bully the weak and fear the hard, and these soldiers of the Shuntian Army are facing the Taiping Army, which has only a thousand people at most, and deep down they naturally feel that this is a snail pinched with ten fingers, and there is no problem in fighting steadily. Although most of them have more hoes, nails, forks, brazing burdens, and even just sticks, they can also bulldoze each other when they go up all at once? Isn't that what fighting in the countryside is all about? Or they would have flown away in embarrassment with such a powerful charge.

Of course, this is their idea, not the idea of the Taipings.

A thousand people formed a small circle, and iron knives were held high, some with wide eyes, some with their eyes tightly closed. The recruits who closed their eyes, although they could still hear the deafening shouts in their ears, could not see the tide of people, could not see the hideous faces of the prescription, and slowly calmed down. What I had in mind was that when it was time for training, the instructors were teaching them the rules with big heads and thorns.

"Crossbow arrows, shoot!" Eighty paces away from the circle, the wild dog ordered loudly.

With a buzz, hundreds of feathered arrows rushed out and pounced on the crowd that rushed over with black pressure, and there was no need to aim, because at this time, all around them were already all soldiers of the Shuntian Army, and they were like a reef in the sea.

The screams sounded, and where the feather arrows fell, one by one the soldiers of the Shuntian Army turned over and fell, but even if they were drowned out by more people, the miserable howl was like a mosquito buzzing in the louder shout, and no one would notice it except for those who were near.

After three rounds of arrows, the soldiers of the Shuntian Army had already rushed to the front.

"Cut!" In the circle, the veterans roared in unison, and hundreds of raised iron knives fell suddenly. The surging tide crashed against the reef, but it was splashing bright red.

Almost as the soldiers neatly chopped down the broadswords in their hands, the wild dogs roared, held the broadswords high, jumped out of the circle, and landed more than ten steps before the circle, and the iron knives in their hands swept in all directions, clearing a large open space in an instant. And Zou Ming, who rushed out with the wild dogs, also had an iron gun in his hand, and the gun killed him.

Yu Chao, who was in the round formation, rode on a horse, shooting the opponent who rushed up with one arrow at a time, and it was the first time he really observed the battle of the Taiping Army. He had seen a big scene, but what he saw in front of him shocked him. This is an army that has only been in the army for half a year, but what it shows is stronger than the regular army of Vietnam that he has served for many years. At this time, the recruits still had their eyes closed, and they hadn't opened them at all.

"Lift!"

"Cut!"

The order is simple, come and go is two words, but these soldiers do far more damage than the two masters who rushed into the enemy group.

With two snorts, the two masters who rushed out flew back again, sitting in the circle and panting for breath, while those soldiers were still methodically lifting, mechanically repeating the same movements in the sound of chopping commands, in this period, they just changed positions back and forth. The second row stood in the first row, allowing the soldiers in the first row, who had been chopped more than ten times, to retreat into the circle. This kind of transposition is the most dangerous time for an experienced regular army, because it is very likely that they will be killed at this time, but their opponent is a group of peasants who have no combat experience at all.
