When it was ugly, the revenge of the River Gang began. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhang Xiao, Meng Hu, and Meng Wei launched an attack on Shihezi, Sandaokou, and Shanzuipu Wharf almost simultaneously.

The Cao Gang and the Beggar Gang stationed a total of more than 2,300 people at more than 20 large and small wharves in the area of Qingwu Town, of which 1,800 were from the Cao Gang and 500 were from the Beggar Gang.

Among these people, 500 people were stationed at the three large wharves of Sandaokou, Qingwu and Shanzuipu, and the remaining 800 people were stationed at various small and medium-sized wharves.

At the beginning of the game, Zhang Xiao was the most relaxed. The first pier he attacked, Shihezi, was a small dock, with only more than sixty people stationed there, and all of them were from the Cao Gang. Without any tactics, the Seven Hundred Rivers Gang quickly completed the encirclement from the east and west, and then there was a crazy slaughter. The sixty gang on the dock were killed before they even had time to surrender.

After cleaning up the Shihezi wharf, Zhang Xiao did not leave a single soldier behind, and led all his men to quickly rush to the next wharf - this time the purpose was not to seize territory, but purely to take revenge.

Meng Hu's side is not very easy.

Three hundred Cao Gang members and two hundred Northern Beggars were stationed at the Sandaokou Wharf. Compared with the profit-oriented Cao Gang, the Beggar Gang is closer to a martial arts sect that teaches merit, almost every disciple has a master of Gong Gong, and if they are lucky, they will also get the personal guidance of the elders of the Gong Sect, so the cultivation of the disciples of the Beggar Gang is generally higher than that of the Cao Gang.

Before the battle, Meng Hu quietly touched in and explored it for more than half an hour. It was found that among these Northern Beggars disciples, the lowest cultivation was also about the fifth rank of the Foundation Building Realm, and there were more than eleven or twelve in the Xuantong Realm, and there was also a seven-bag disciple among them, who was already the second and third rank of the Xuantong Realm.

Among Meng Hu's subordinates, although because of Qin Shuhuai's promotion of the simplified version of the Yijin Sutra in the gang, the average cultivation can barely reach about the fifth level of the foundation building realm, but because the promotion time is too short, at present, there are only three people above the Xuantong realm, Pigou, Lai San'er, and Chen Jing, which makes Meng Hu a big headache.

It's not that he is afraid that he won't be able to take these five hundred people, but that he is afraid that the Jianghe Gang will lose too much. There are more than 2,800 people under Qin Shuhuai's subordinates, and he wants to fight them against the Tartars, it can be said that each of these people is Qin Shuhuai's treasure, which Meng Hu couldn't be clearer.

If you fold too much in your own hands, you really don't have the face to go back to see Lord Qin.

When Meng Hu was entangled, Pigou had already prepared an offensive plan. After talking to Meng Hu again, Meng Hu was in a fog when he heard it, and he was confused for a long time, so he simply shook his hand and handed over the command to the leather dog, anyway, for him, commanding so many people to fight is far less pleasant than rushing up to kill himself.

The leather dog had attacked the Sandaokou Pier before, and was extremely familiar with this place. There are two entrances and exits at the Sandaokou wharf, one in the direction of the wharf on the west side and the other in the direction of the yard on the east side. He immediately divided the men into two groups, one of four hundred men entering from the direction of the dock to the west, while the other wave of two hundred and fifty men lay in ambush at the exit in the direction of the yard to the east.

The offensive begins.

West, pier direction.

The first to enter was a phalanx of fifty cavalrymen, who were responsible for opening the way ahead. These cavalrymen were heavily armoured, both men and horses, and were also accustomed to using long knives and spears, which were the most suitable weapons for cavalry combat. These cavalrymen themselves are all people from the rivers and lakes, and their cultivation is at least about two or three levels of foundation building, so their strength is also greater than that of ordinary cavalry.

Behind the cavalry was a square of 100 infantry, all of which were surrounded by sword and shield soldiers. These sword and shield soldiers are wearing two layers of thick armor, the knife is made of stainless steel made of the most advanced fried steel method, the blade is hard and light, and the shield is also a combination of a lot of steel, light and tough, both can better protect the shield soldiers, but also can greatly reduce the weight of the shield soldiers, improve their speed. Qin Shuhuai spent a lot of money to buy these things, not to mention in Daming, and at least fifty or sixty years ahead of Europe in the world.

Behind the infantry was a square of fifty crossbowmen and fifty shieldmen. Qin Shuhuai always thought that crossbowmen were better than musketeers in actual combat, so he spent a lot of money to buy a batch of expensive three-company strong crossbows, and trained three hundred crossbowmen. The crossbowmen were all heavily armoured, and each crossbowman was protected by a shield man.

Behind the crossbowmen were fifty archers.

These crossbowmen and archers were armed with waist knives in addition to bows and crossbows. The waist knife is used for self-defense, because it is time-consuming and laborious to train archers and crossbowmen, so generally archers and crossbowmen do not participate in melee combat after shooting arrows and crossbows.

Behind the archers, at the end of the line, were a hundred light infantrymen behind the palace. Saying that they are lightly armed is for shield soldiers wearing two layers of thick armor, but in fact, their protection is no worse than that of heavy armor soldiers in a normal army. Because Qin Shuhuai considered that these people's cultivation would improve in the future, the weight of the armor would not cause a delay in action after they reached a certain level of cultivation.

The 400 rivers gang with a strict lineup marched forward quickly with an orderly pace. The sound of uniform footsteps and earth-shattering roars suddenly pierced the night sky, leaving everyone on the dock stunned.

The time has come to test the results of their intensive training.

On the dock, a total of 200 Cao Gang members and 100 Northern Beggars disciples gathered, and when they saw that the enemy was attacking, they drew their swords one after another, and immediately gathered together habitually.

When they were still a hundred and fifty meters away, the archers fired a volley first, and fifty bows and arrows hit a dozen people, which did not cause much damage, but caused chaos among the three hundred people on the opposite side.

With a roar, the cavalry began to charge. The distance of more than 100 meters was enough for the cavalry to rush up, and fifty heavy cavalrymen, wielding sabers and spears, instantly blew a whirlwind of steel on the narrow dock, rushing into the crowd with a devastating momentum, instantly scattering the three hundred people, and taking away more than a dozen heads by the way. For the cavalry charge, if it was just a horse, some masters of the fifth rank or so in the Xuantong Realm could knock down the war horse with one punch, but if it was a group, he would have to avoid it.

After a charge, the cavalry turned back again and continued to charge towards the crowd. These people are accustomed to fighting in groups, but where have they ever seen a real cavalry charge? For a while, they could not organize a decent counterattack, so they only cared about dodging these behemoths first.

By this time, a phalanx of one hundred infantry had already arrived quickly. These infantry were divided into groups of five, each with a shield soldier. The shield man rushed to the front, locked onto his target and then rampaged, the remaining four followed him closely, and when they approached, two of them jumped out from the left and right to besiege the target, while the other two were responsible for protecting the flanks and behind. The five attacked only one target at a time, and then quickly moved on to the next target when they succeeded.

At this time, the archers had also seized the high ground, and they were responsible for covering the attack of the infantry.

Almost simultaneously, the crossbowmen arrived under the protection of shield men. They first shot at each other in a row from the dense Cao gang and the beggar gang, and these gang members did not wear any armor, and each shot could sweep down a large area, taking at least thirty or forty lives.

However, there were not many such opportunities, because the two sides were quickly hand-to-hand, and it was impossible for the crossbowmen to attack indiscriminately. So they immediately changed to sneak attacks in the crowd. The rate of fire of the crossbow arrows is extremely fast, and at this time it is used as a hidden weapon, these strictly trained crossbowmen are good at bursting cold arrows from any possible angle, making the opponent unguardable, many Bei Beggars disciples and Cao Gang members are fighting and suddenly feel that their bodies are cold, and then they find that they have been hit by arrows.

In the end, a hundred light infantry from behind the palace arrived, and they quickly dispersed, forming an encirclement formation, and attacked one by one from the periphery.
