Chapter Twenty-Six: Platoon Gun Battle
The summer of the year was really set, and I became particularly restless because of the sound of towers on the ground with heavy military boots on the ground. The sound of acquaintance in the grove by the side of the road grew louder and louder, and the noise made people feel as if they had entered the kingdom of acquaintance.
This is the voice of Wang Sanxi, a soldier of the Shun army who was ambushed on the side of the road, lying on his stomach in a half-man-high bush, enduring unknown insects crawling over his body, quietly waiting for the order to go up.
That's right, it's an army.
An army from the Shun army, which had just established power in Xi'an.
The leader was Li Nian, Li Yan's own brother who led more than 5,000 Dashun Imperial Forest Army to ambush in an invisible place on both sides of the road.
Ahead, the distorted image of the hot clearing gradually emerged.
It was a very different army.
A black bear embroidered with extraordinarily fine and vivid embroidery, soaring in the air through the clouds, and the flag was revealed in front of Wang Sanxi's eyes. This was followed by the source of the sound of the tower.
Unlike the Shun army, which wore straw sandals and tattered old armor, this was an army with a peak appearance. Their military uniforms were new, their leather boots were shiny, and everyone walked on the official road with high spirits.
Wang Sanxi's eyes showed surprise, and an intuition told him: "This is actually the Ming army?" How can you be more energetic than the first-class strong soldiers in Dashun? ”
No one told him the answer.
As the Flying Bear Regiment continued to approach, behind the clearer and clearer faces, there was a surging murderous aura.
Li Nian looked at the surrounding situation and was slightly satisfied.
The terrain of the ambush is very particular, not only to facilitate the concealment of oneself, but more importantly, to facilitate the fight against the enemy. Specifically, it is easy to attack opponents.
The site of this famous Nangou Gang is flanked on both sides by towering hills, and the slopes behind the ridge are full of hidden Shun troops. The small flat land washed out by the small river ditch is the only road leading to Weizhou Town.
After Weizhou Town, turn to the southwest, which is the main road leading to Jingcheng Pass.
And now, Li Nian was lying behind the small ridge and staring at the approaching Flying Bear Regiment, carefully looking at his opponent. They came from Shang'an Town, turned northwest through Shangma Village, and the formation stretched for a long time, and there were scouts galloping forward to explore the way. The soldiers on the march were full of morale, and a difficult impression fell into Li Nian's heart, which was replaced by an excitement: it was the real strong soldier of the Ming Kingdom!
Defeat them and make a name for yourself!
Such a thought rose in Li Nian's heart, burning brightly, and could no longer be extinguished.
By the time the sun rose to noon, the striker had already passed through Nangou Gang and was about to arrive at Weizhou Town. As a large team of 4,000 people, the Flying Bear Regiment still had a rear camp and had just left Shangma Village.
At this time, the sun was shining, the sun was drowsy, and Wang Sanxi, who was in the grass, quickly adapted to it after a bonus and two hours of torment, and even felt a little drowsy after nibbling two breads in the dazy afternoon. In order to cooperate with Wang Sanxi's sleepiness, even the acquaintances on the trees on both sides of the road also cooperated tacitly and silently.
Until the comrades-in-arms around him gently pulled Wang Sanxi: "I'm going to fight hard!" ”
On the official road.
"Something is wrong...... Xu Yanqi stopped his horse and raised his hand, and the soldiers behind him were silent. In the air, the tension is filling.
"There's an ambush!" Ahead, Wang Xun desperately fought his horse and returned.
Almost at the same time, among the two mountains, shouts of killing sounded all over the mountains.
As soon as Wang Sanxi was pulled, he subconsciously picked up the long knife in his hand. As the Imperial Forest Army of Dashun, Wang Sanxi dressed in a shabby cotton armor, carried a bird gun, and carried a half-new long knife at his waist, shouting and rushing down.
He looked left and right, and the entire hillside was almost full of people.
"Line up!" Qian Zhi was surprised to hear that the mountain actually shouted this slogan in advance.
On the mountain, the ragged Shun troops began to shout to each other at the foot of the mountain, and quickly lined up. What is astonishing is that in just a few breaths, they have taken the prototype of the team from the state of chaos.
On the hillside, small rectangular teams lined up and walked slowly down the hill, raising their spears.
"It's a bird!" Xia Chen, the chief military advisor of the Flying Bear Regiment, recognized it immediately: "All departments assemble and form small teams!" Where will Lang be? ”
Xia Chen rushed towards Xu Yanqi, but found that Xu Yanqi at this moment did not know when the largest number of Shun troops had gathered.
"Assemble and line up! Squad Battles! Qian Zhi roared.
Beside him, Xi Bin was sweating profusely and stared: "Was it ambushed?" What to do? ”
"What else can I do, what can I do!" Qian Zhi shouted: "Take out the lessons you ate in the training camp, and give me the first time to line up the team and prepare your weapons!" ”
Up and down the mountain, after a short period of panic, each lined up in battle.
Immediately after, something spectacular happened.
Each side took out its own weapons, and on the side of the army were various types of bird guns, as well as a rather strange new type of firearms. This kind of firearm is very similar to the Lumi gun in the Ming Dynasty, but it is much rougher in manufacturing. What is even more remarkable is that many of the entire Shun army's battle columns are holding such identical firearms.
On the Ming side, the Ming army was holding a newly assembled Zhongxing rifle. Compared with the messy equipment of the Shun army, the equipment of the Flying Bear Regiment is much simpler and refreshing. As the main sharp knife of the Guards Corps, the Zhongxing 1 rifle that the rest of the departments are not equipped with is a rifle in everyone's hands here. The design of the newly baked ZTE rifle is simple, the diameter of the ZTE rifle with the butt of mahogany is 16 mm, the whole gun weighs five catties, and the length of 1,300 mm is matched with the spring hammer structure that is very different from the arquebus.
Of course, this sense of technology is for the soldiers of the Flying Bear Regiment who know the advantages of the flintlock pistol.
The soldiers of the Shun Army, who had stopped eighty paces from the Flying Bear Regiment, lined up, knelt down or half-crouched in turn, and after the strict three-stage strike array was arranged, they lit the arquebuses under the shouts of their respective officers.
The sound of thumping shooting sounded, and at a distance of eighty paces, the lead shot flew out, and the soldiers of the Flying Bear Regiment felt the power of the arquebus for the first time.
Heavy lead pellets cut through the muscles, sending countless wails.
But more Flying Bear soldiers continued to stand tall in such a sea of fire.
"If it were any Ming army, it might collapse in such a momentum. But we, our Flying Bear Regiment, never! Qian Zhi shouted, and the veteran proudly picked up his flintlock pistol and aimed it for fire: "Forward, shoot!" ”
Bang bang bang......
Shots from the Flying Bear Regiment quickly rang out.
There was still a smoke of gunpowder in the camp of the Shun army, and Wang Sanxi beat his arquebus fiercely, wondering: "Isn't this the fire gun that Your Majesty spent a lot of money to drum up, why can't it be fired?" ”
Wang Sanxi, who was puzzled in his heart, squatted down in the smoke of gunpowder, and when he took a closer look, he found that the fire rope had quietly rotted partially. In a vague memory, Wang Sanxi resounded the words of the head of the new army when he was training: Half of this Manchurian Lumi gun can't catch fire, and if you find it, you must re-ignite it as soon as possible!
Wang Sanxi thought so, and hurriedly cut off the fire rope and rekindled it.
At this moment, a crisp sound sounded.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of the projectile piercing the air was played, and countless lead pellets penetrated the gunsmoke, burrowed into the crowd, and knocked down the battle column of Dashun.
The brutal platoon shooting began!
But both sides are still moving forward!
A series of fireworks rose up, and behind them were ruthless law enforcement officers, who urged and quickly approached on both sides. And then......
Another round of fire!
But the results of the second round of firing made the Shun army feel cold.
The proud Dashun Imperial Forest Army attacked the Flying Bear Regiment under ambush but did not take advantage, and after two rounds of fire in succession, they were shocked to find that in the face-to-face platoon shooting, the casualties of the other party were actually lower than those of the Shun army, and as the side that was attacked, the array was even stricter than the Shun army!
"Fire!" Qian Zhi's voice sounded again.
Wang Sanxi held the arquebus in his hand, his hands trembling a little: "We have only played two rounds, and the other party has already played three rounds?" ”
Bang bang bang......
Another round of fire rang out, and this time, more of the Shun gunners were knocked down before they could even find a chance to shoot. The array of the Shun army suddenly became sparse.
But at this time, the cheers of Wang Sanxi and other Shunjun generals rang out.
With a thunderous shelling, one of the gunners shouted: "I hit, I hit!" ”
Countless cheering voices spread the good news throughout the Shun army: "I hit the general of the official army!" ”
Li Nian's smile slowly emerged: "Captured that Xu Yanqi alive!" ”
"Kill!" Countless Shun troops slaughtered in the direction of Xu Yanqi.
For a while, Wang Xun's body was full of blood. As the company commander of the reconnaissance company, he led troops to protect Xu Yanqi as soon as possible. But countless Shun troops appeared from front to back, left and right, and surrounded them.
Just now, there was a cannon shot that suddenly concentrated in Xu Yanqi's direction.
At this time, Xia Chen rushed in with someone. As soon as he saw Wang Xun, his eyes suddenly turned red: "Where is Lang Jiang?" ”
"Lang will ...... Injured......" Wang Xun's eyes also turned red.
"Don't mess around!" At this time, Xu Yanqi's weak voice came out, his abdomen was blurred, and blood flowed out, oozing out of the tightly tied gauze: "Rush out first, go to Weizhou Town!" Xia Chen, you take over from me first and command for the time being! ”
"Yes!" Wang Xun shouted his order.
Xia Chen nodded fiercely: "Break through and kill first!" ”
An unforgettable scene appeared for Li Nian.
When Wang Xun led the people of the reconnaissance company to rush left and right, like chopping melons and vegetables, he made a bloody way, and the general's order spread throughout the entire army of the Flying Bear Regiment.
The shouts of grief and indignation came one after another, and the thousands of households of the Flying Bear Regiment, which had already overpowered the Shun army in terms of firepower, rushed to the front under the leadership of generals at all levels.
In front of round after round of flintlock firing shots, the sparse firepower of the Shun army was quickly overpowered.
Li Nian was shocked to find that no matter how many people he filled in, he still couldn't stop the Flying Bear Regiment from breaking through.
"Catch up, you can't let them go!" Li Nian was annoyed, and he gave the order to die.
The Shun army, which was full of five or six thousand, ambushed and raided the Flying Bear Regiment, but still failed to stay, how could Li Nian accept such a result?
But the strength of the Flying Bear Regiment quickly opened the eyes of the Shun army. After they formed a formation to break through the siege around Xu Yanqi, they escorted Xu Yanqi all the way, a team of three or four thousand people, abandoned the expensive baggage, and marched towards Weizhou Town without any regret. In the midst of the breakthrough, the battle columns were still not chaotic, and the army that stayed behind was blocked layer by layer, and they slipped into Weizhou Town with all their heads and tails.
Hearing about the war, Weizhou Town was already an empty city, and the Flying Bear Regiment successfully settled in and began to build fortifications using the house.
Li Nian, who was following behind, saw that the defense of the official army was beginning to take shape, and he collected his troops in a daze.
He soon happily dragged back the baggage that had fallen from the Flying Bear Regiment. Compared to this victory, a piece of news that made her even more ecstatic came.
"The general has conquered the Weize Pass and the Guguan Pass, and is approaching the Jingcheng Pass! And that's not all! It was Zhang Hongshou who came to deliver the news, and he did not join the battle with a few thousand of his men, but diligently transported the baggage, mobilizing the huge manpower of the Shun army to transport the military materials from Taiyuan out of Shanxi.
"What's the key? Could it be ......" Li Nian vaguely thought of something.
Sure enough, Zhang Hongshou smiled and said: "That's right, I, Emperor Dashun, have also entered the Guguan Pass, and the whole army is about to leave the Jingcheng Pass!" ”
"Haha! What is that mere Flying Bear Regiment? Even if that Zhu Cihong comes, I won't be afraid! Li Nian laughed heartily.
In Weizhou Town, Xu Yanqi sat on a chair, dripping with blood under him.
Pieces of gauze were replaced, Xu Yanqi exhaled hard, looked at the nervous officers left and right, and waved his hand: "Relax." I can't die yet, the most important thing in front of me is to figure out the situation. I'm afraid I'm afraid I've lost it...... Li Jiantai, Xu Biao, Li Maochun...... In an instant, the situation took a turn for the worse. This military information must be passed on to the Holy Lord. ”
"And ...... we?" Wang Xun couldn't help but ask about birth.
Xia Chen answered this question instead of Xu Yanqi: "Stay here." Nail it here, so that Li Zicheng got out of Jingcheng Pass, and he couldn't enter Zhending Mansion. To the Holy ...... Look for opportunities for strategic showdowns. ”
"Holy ......" Wang Xun couldn't help but think of the division of the Hu Dawei Division.
Zhu Cihong's main force has just been weakened by the division of troops.
……
Shanhaiguan, Wu Sangui asked the third time: "On the Di newspaper, except for the Xifengtai victory of Lao Shizi, there is really no good news?" ”
Xia Guoxiang said for the third time: "Back to King Pingxi, it is indeed not. The Guards Corps of the Ming Kingdom has not received good news. Instead...... A lieutenant named Qi Xian led more than 2,000 people to the north to support Xuanfu Town and Datong Town. ”
"Two thousand people, supporting the two border towns facing tens of thousands of Mongol troops......" Wu Sangui sighed heavily: "Alas, seven days...... It's here. ”
"The seventh day has come, and this king has already brought your uncle and grandfather to the old general. King Pingxi, are you ready? "Duoduo walked into the mountain altitude general military mansion proudly.
Behind him, King Sanshun's gaze swept over him, and he smiled fiercely. (To be continued.) )
