Chapter 265: Fighting Bandits
Thinking of the heavy and expectant gaze of King Chuang before leaving, Liu Zongmin felt that his burden was heavier than that. [】If the town could not be stopped, the battle in Luoyang would become more difficult. If he could not take Luoyang, the army would not get supplies, and the battle for hegemony to dominate the world would start from the talk. The fate of these people would be bumpy. It would be no longer the so-called follower and founding fathers...
So this time, when Li Zicheng was very tight, he still gave him a 50,000 army, and there were 2,000 old battalions and elite cavalry. He hoped that Liu Zongmin could take advantage of the first victory of the town and give him an unforgettable lesson, at least to hinder their progress!
Now, Liu Zongmin and Li Guo have some insights because Li Guo has fought with the town, so this time they also came together to ride some personal guards on horseback and look out on a small hill. However, Liu Zongmin was even more depressed.
Because Liu Zongmin was only about two hundred steps away from the front of the town, and it was precisely because he was clear that he was so heavy. He saw that there was no division of troops in the town. Unlike other Ming troops, which were divided into bird gun soldiers, spear soldiers, etc., but all bird gun soldiers. However, according to Li Guo, these bird gun soldiers in the town were not simple. They had the functions of bird gun soldiers and spear soldiers. Far combat was bird gun soldiers, and melee became spear soldiers.
Because there was an iron spear in front of their bird guns, which played the role of a spear. However, Liu Zongmin didn't think anything unusual about this. If he could fight with Zhen closely, that would be great, I'm afraid he wouldn't even have this opportunity!
What shocked Liu Zongmin was the spiritual outlook of the town. When they met an ordinary Ming army, they saw tens of thousands of people rushing over, and they were so scared that they fled. At least they were normal to look at each other and change their colors. However, the town in front of them was better, and they stood in unison, as if the tens of thousands of people were charging forward, as if they were playing house!
The second thing that shocked Liu Zongmin was that the town was deployed. In this case, the general Ming army had to do some more and less defense. Although the time was urgent, there was no time to dig a few trenches and then piled the excavated soil into low walls to defend.
At least we should sprinkle some caltrops in front and arrange some obstacles like resisting horses to block the army's advance. But if we do nothing, we just do it. This just shows that the confidence that the gate is extremely powerful!
Li Guo, who was beside Liu Zongmin, was far more than fighting with him, and his eyes also showed a look of fear, not to mention the ecstatic look in the past. Originally, Li Guo was so happy that the iron armor and leather boots that he was wearing were waiting for when he came to the town! Because this was equivalent to sending them supplies. But now, he knew that these were all murderous demon kings.
"There's no way, fight," Liu Zongmin roared suddenly. Then he waved his hand, and more bandits rushed down the mountain to the east and north. It was initially estimated that Liu Zongmin would invest in twenty teams in one breath.
According to the calculation of one thousand people per team, it is a total of 20,000 people attacked, and there are still a continuous stream of troops. Although these are cannon fodder troops, Liu Zongmin believes that although the town is powerful, it is also flesh and blood, and it is also raised by his parents. They will also bleed and tired. They can't stand four hands with two fists. The heroes can't stand many people! The total number of town is only 15,000. Li Zicheng has already found this point. 50,000 to 15,000, close to four to one. If the offensive continues, even the iron man will knock them down. Even the steel will turn them into soft fingers!
As Liu Zongmin sent the general order, tens of thousands of soldiers responded, and their shouts of ups and downs continued, as if the whole earth was filled with their shouts.
Most of these bandits were soldiers arranged outside the camp. They usually couldn't eat a full meal, and even their three meals a day were guaranteed. However, their eyes were full of fanaticism. Because Liu Zongmin had promised them before the war that if they were defeated, they would eat white rice for three days in a row after they went back, and they would eat half a pound of fat meat every meal, and to fill in the Wuyuan Temple, which had no oil and water!
Big fat meat! When you think of the white, greasy and greasy, and bite the big fat meat with a mouth full of smooth mouth, these bandits are running even more energetic! It is worth it to be able to eat a bite of meat! And what is more important than big fat meat is that as long as you can go back alive, you can become the inner barracks of the trespassing army, eat enough, and let the whole family survive without having to live like a beggar!
And here in the town, it was just so cold, but every hand holding the new bird gun was more forceful.
"Kill!"
When they were about to approach a hundred steps, the bandits shouted together, and they all shouted with all their strength, and repeatedly, the God of Destiny would favor them. The spear in their hands was also raised high, rushing towards them.
"Oh, these bandits are not afraid of death. It's a pity that the enemy they face is not the Tartars, but compatriots with the same blood flowing!" With Zhang Linqi's gentle sigh, several bird guns fired at the same time, and then his voice was covered by the deafening sound of muskets. Thousands of muskets spewed out violent flames, which immediately made a big gap in the bandit formation that was charging, and at least a thousand people fell to the ground at the same time. These bandits, all of them, rolled to the ground one by one, and the blood in their bodies surged out like a tide. The smell of blood and shrill howling quickly spread.
At this time, the town only used three thousand people in the front row. With these three thousand people, they formed a three-stage shooting, which was enough to deal with these bandits. If the whole town took action together, it would be too affordable for these bandits and they would use a slaughter to kill the chicken.
The bandits who were charging at the charge saw so many companions fall to the ground in just one round of shooting, and they are stunned. What kind of firearm is this from the government army? It is so powerful? But moving forward is death, and retreat is death, and there is a supervisory team behind them. It is better to take a try! After being stunned, more bandits roared forward again, looking like they were desperate.
But in this crazy situation, they were not messy at all. All they needed to do was to shoot the second platoon in an orderly manner, followed by the third and fourth... The deafening sound of bird guns echoed in the sky of the earth, and the love harvested the lives that were still alive just now.
Maybe it was a lead for one life, maybe it was two lead and three lead... Life on the battlefield was so cheap. As more and more bandits fell, in this not-wide area, corpses began to accumulate slowly, and blood flowed everywhere, dyeing the earth a bloody red! Even with too much blood, the land could not be absorbed, and began to gather a warm stream and flow out. A stream composed of blood!
At this price, the exchange was only for twenty steps closer between the two sides. It was originally a distance of one hundred steps, but now it can't even rush through within eighty steps of the defense line. If you can't reach this distance, you can start by drawing the bow and shooting the arrow!
Because it is a hilly area, the ventilation conditions are not very good and the shooting frequency is too high. Under the scorching sunlight, the choking smell of gunpowder and bloody smell spread everywhere, making people want to vomit.
Finally, as the last charge bandit fell in front of the town's position, there were seventy-nine steps away from the town's position, which was one more step than the others, but there was only such a result. The sound of bird guns also stopped at the right time, and the position showed a rare quietness like a dramatic quietness. The sound of death was flowing. Only the sound of the stream composed of blood flowed!
There was also a sizzling sound. These were the auxiliary soldiers of the military headquarters who were quickly wiping and cooling off their fine iron gun barrels with wet cloth.
"I seemed to be in this scene where Senggelinqin led the Manchu and Mongolian coalition forces to attack the Eight-Nation Alliance. 20,000 Manchu and Mongolian coalition forces were wiped out, and eight Eight-Nation Alliance forces were injured." Fang Jianping said sadly. It is normal for the two armies to die when they fight, but such a way of death is a bit worthless.
"I'm very good. These bandits should have killed more Lin Qi's reputation to spread even further!" Tang Yanyan said in a "heartless" way. He completely forgot her previous position of the White Lotus Sect's saint, but completely transformed into a side of the town. In addition, marry a chicken, marry a dog, and marry a monkey, and walk around the mountain! What's more, now he is marrying the famous general of the country!
"Oh, the flower of peace needs to be watered with blood." Zhang Linqi said without emotion.
With this scene, Liu Zongmin and Li Guo who were watching the battle looked very difficult. The strong stern was beyond their expectations. In a short time, the attacking striker was completely injured, and there were only a few who were slightly injured by arrows, and there were not one casualty. How could he fight such a battle?
Li Guo said with a gloomy face: "Brother Liu, you met you, it was the same that day. It was not that the brothers did not work hard, but that the bird guns in the town were so terrifying. They were simply the same as the Ming munitions in the past, and they were incomparable!"
Liu Zongmin also nodded with a gloomy face. He knew clearly what happened just now. So many people rushed over and died in an incense stick. This was not like a battle, it was like practicing for the other party, because the other party almost didn't even lose a single hair!
So many people died! A total of 20,000! Although most of the dead and injured were hungry people from the outside camp, the core old camp and the elite cavalry were still raising their energy and did not move at all. Even the cavalry on the periphery did not move and there was no damage. However, the skin was gone, so what about the Mao Zedong? The cannon fodder troops were gone, only the old camp and the elite cavalry were left. Isn’t that going to hurt the muscles and bones when there was any damage!
But what if I don’t fight? Thinking of Li Zicheng’s instructions before leaving, Liu Zongmin felt his shoulders heavy. Think farther away, the situation in the court has shown signs of improvement. If I don’t take advantage of the situation now, I will probably lose the chance to take the opportunity in the future. Thinking about it, I can eat and wear warmly, and my wife and children are warm. Who would still be willing to do this business that requires beheading!
