Chapter 241: The Brave Win
Seeing their own commander, they all rushed out, and the soldiers in front of the convoy immediately rushed out under the leadership of their own squad leader and squad deputy.
In the first row, there were only about two dozen people with spears, and they ran to a distance of about twenty steps from the miners, immediately stopped, and naturally lined up according to their training.
And the miners can't hold back. In comparison, their training level is too far from Wu Shigong's soldiers. After running for more than 100 steps, the already haode queue was already chaotic. In addition, the weapons in the hands of these miners were uneven, and there were very few people holding spears, so the miners who ran in the front row, pushed by the miners behind them, suddenly crashed into the spears of the people who were relatively long, He Fei.
The people in the first row of He Fei are either He Fei's guards, that is, those military attaches who have made mistakes before. Either cavalry. These military jishu are all outstanding among Wu Shigong's soldiers. Therefore, as soon as they stabbed the first miner, they were very skillful in retracting their spears, so as not to let the bodies of the miners who had been stabbed to death jam their spears.
Then they stabbed a second and a third ....... At first, Hefei's battle should be said to have gone quite smoothly, and nearly fifty miners' corpses lay down in front of them at once.
If it were ordinary bandits, maybe such casualties would have made the bandits chill a long time ago. However, these miners were indeed brave, and they still rushed forward in this situation, even if they couldn't hit Hefei with the weapons in their hands, these miners also hit the spearheads in front of them with their knives and sticks.
As we already know, the spear is basically a one-time consumable, especially the shaft of the spear, which is made of light and brittle wood. So under the blows of these miners, the riding spears broke seven or eight at once. And along the gaps, the miners approached and cut down five or six soldiers to the ground at once. He Fei's spear array was also in jeopardy.
But at this moment, the soldiers who rushed behind also arrived. And these soldiers happened to be on top of this gap. In addition, those soldiers were holding spears specially made for pikemen, and the spear heads were covered with a circle of iron sheets nearly two feet long, which could prevent the cutting of knives and axes, so the entire spear array was complete again.
And when the soldiers in the back arrived, there were axe and spearmen among them, and they lined up in the back row of pikemen, and when any miners rushed in, they stabbed with the heads of axes and spears in the back row, and chopped with the axes of axes, basically eliminating the dead ends. The entire array of spears was complete.
At this time, there were already sixty or seventy people in the entire queue, and more and more soldiers were running from behind. At this moment, the miners in front of them were a little shaken.
In the open space behind He Fei, the soldiers who ran from the train were also under the command of the captains of their respective 100-man teams, and gradually lined up in battle queues, preparing to launch an attack after lining up. At this time, the situation was also biased in favor of Hefei.
But at this moment, there was a sudden sound of firecrackers, and this sudden shooting caused the entire battlefield to pause for a short time.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Song Xiang took his horse bandits, separated the queue behind the miners, quietly moved forward, and then rode on his horse, and shot the spear array in front of him with the medium-sized firearm that they had brought out from Wu Shigong's army when they were fleeing.
Of course, they were aiming in the direction of Hefei, the commander. In one fell swoop, four or five soldiers, including He Fei, were knocked to the ground. And the soldiers in the spear array were suddenly blinded by the shot of this firearm. Because in the previous battles, it was Wu Shigong's army that had firearms, and these soldiers had never been shot by the enemy's firearms. I didn't expect that the miners in front of me also had firecrackers in their hands.
Seeing that their guns had knocked down the soldiers on the other side, the miners, after a brief moment of consternation, immediately rose in morale and rushed towards the array of spears. The look on his face was extremely fanatical.
Not to mention, the accuracy of the firearm at this time was indeed too poor, just such a distance of thirty or forty steps, in fact, it did not hit the key point of Hefei at all. He Fei just felt a whistling sound in his ears, and his ears were torn apart by this whistling sound, and he fell to the ground after losing his balance.
At this time, He Fei didn't know where to throw the spear in his hand, but his eyes were red with blood, he touched behind him, grabbed the axe and gun lying in the hands of the corpse of the soldier behind him, jumped up after a loud shout, and didn't care what queue was not queued, brandished the axe and rushed out.
Jeon Dashan was the axe-gunner standing in the second row, and he had just been blinded by the fire of the musket. Although Quan Dashan was unscathed in the fire shot, the head of the squad leader beside him was splattered with blood like a watermelon cracking, and even Quan Dashan's face was splashed with several drops.
The whole mountain's mind was blank. His team leader's surname is Fu, and he is a native of Henan. He usually treats his soldiers well. I've been telling stories to my soldiers. What he likes to talk about the most is that the garrison promised to give some fields to the veterans of Captain Fu in the future, and Captain Fu wanted to follow his second uncle to farm in his own field after retiring. He has always boasted that his second uncle has farmed well.
When Quan Dashan saw the chief man who fell to the ground, picked up Captain Fu's axe and gun and rushed out, he didn't have any thoughts, and also brandished the axe and gun and rushed out with the chief adult.
Shumo was also stunned by the firecracker shot, and when he saw He Fei being knocked to the ground, he couldn't help but burst into tears. Among these military attaches of Wu Shigong, although the other military attaches were very polite to Shumo, Shumo did not have many friends, and He Fei was one of his most stinking friends.
Feeling that someone around him rushed out, Shumo didn't care that after He Fei died, he should be in command. He also screamed and brandished his spear and rushed out.
And the two commanders who saw themselves rushed out, and the soldiers in the spear array, no matter what array they kept at this time, they all waved the weapons in their hands and rushed out.
This counter-charge was carried out quite violently, and suddenly opened a gap in the miners' array, and these sixty or seventy soldiers rushed into the miners and slashed left and right, and the entire miners' array suddenly became quite chaotic.
And the captain of the hundred-man team who commanded the array in the back, after seeing the fire shot, he was knocked to the ground, and he was also anxious. He yelled at the squad leader who commanded the firecrackers, "You guys eat! Shoot it! ”
Unexpectedly, the leader of the firecracker squad muttered and replied: "According to the drill code, the firecrackers should line up the formation and fire a salvo under the order." ”
The captain of the hundred-man team was happy, and at this time, the captain of the squad still paid attention to what kind of discipline, and he immediately scolded: "Are you an elm pimple?" Hurry up and get ready to shoot freely. ”
The squad leader who was scolded blushed and immediately gave the order to the firecracker. So the musketeers also stepped forward and shot at the miners.
Those miners are gathered so closely that even if the fire gun is not accurate, then if it doesn't go off, there will be smoke in the back. And the casualties caused by the fire bolt also brought the miner array, which had been quite chaotic by He Fei and others, to the brink of collapse.
The soldiers behind the musketeers, regardless of whether the soldiers in the queue had arrived or not, whether they had rushed from the train or not, they also pressed forward under the orders of their respective officers.
At this time, the horse bandits beside Song Xiang asked Song Xiang: "Lord of the mountain, should we rush it?" ”
According to the law of general warfare, Song Xiang at this time should lead the most elite horse bandits around him to charge and fight with He Fei's army.
But the horse bandit who asked the question didn't notice that Song Xiang's body on the horse was trembling a little. At the beginning, Song Xiang didn't know which army the official army was coming.
But when the fight started, looking at those familiar actions, Song Xiang actually had some doubts in his heart. And when he fired with his own firearms, the officers and soldiers on the opposite side had a very strong will to fight, and they actually launched a counter-charge, and the doubts in Song Xiang's heart deepened. And in the end, when he heard the familiar and nightmarish sound of fire, Song Xiang was absolutely sure that the army on the opposite side was the army of the Wu Demon King.
As Song Xiang, who had served as a soldier in Wu Shigong's army, he had a deep understanding of the combat effectiveness of Wu Shigong's army, and he was also the person who was most afraid of fighting Wu Shigong's army.
So when the horse bandits around him asked him for the second time, Song Xiang didn't say a word, and fled towards another mountain road next to the array, leading to Dahuai Village.
And when Song Xiang just shook the reins, the family members of the miners behind Song Xiang shouted happily: "The lord of the mountain is out!" The Lord of the Mountains is mighty! The shouts also demoralized the miners who were fighting at the front.
But to the surprise of the families of those miners, Song Xiang took thirty or forty horse bandits on horseback around him, ignoring the others, and walked towards the mountain road next to the array. And this move simply stunned the families of those miners. The audience was shocked for a while before shouting: "The mountain lord has escaped!" The Lord of the Mountain has fled! ……”
The cry is quite deadly. It should be said that in today's battle, the miners' will to fight was still very tenacious, but when they heard that their leaders had fled, those miners suddenly lost their will to fight, just like the melting snow in summer, the miners and their families scattered and fled at once, and the whole scene collapsed at once.
