Chapter 62: The Battle of Fengyang Sixteen
Sure enough, a big man came out soon. When he saw that Lin Dong was indeed coming, two lines of clear tears flowed down unknowingly.
"General, it's really General Lin. We are saved." Lao Wu shouted loudly.
"It's really General Lin?" Then there was a chaotic sound of footsteps inside, and soon more than a dozen men came out.
"Where are the others?" Lin Dong asked at Old Wei in front of him.
"Hey..., they're gone..."
Lin Dong felt ache in his heart. These are all technical soldiers he likes. Why did this little person be left after just a while? It's a big loss.
"General, you don't have to be sad. Death and injury are inevitable. Let's go quickly." Old Wei Zhengzhan has long been indifferent to life and death. Although he died so many brothers made him very sad, he was very calm.
"You're right, let's go quickly. Lao Wei, take the dead brothers with us and we'll leave the city." Lin Dong nodded.
"Bring them?" Old Wei was obviously stunned, but he soon came to his senses: "General is kind and righteous! I will take my brothers and generals out of the city."
Lin Dong nodded, and soon Lao Wei and others walked out with the bodies of several soldiers on their backs.
"Let's go!" Lin Dong waved his hand and led Old Wei straight to the city gate.
At this time, many rebels had already gathered in the city gate. When they saw the Anton Army coming, they all used bows and arrows to shoot at the Anton Army. Unfortunately, the Anton Army was wearing thick armor, and ordinary bows and arrows could not be shot through at all, not to mention that they had shields on their heads, and the effect of bows and arrows was minimal.
Even so, the constant shooting of bows and arrows made Anton Jun extremely troubled.
"General, Wei Haisheng requested to join the war." Seeing that Anton's army was shot by the enemy's bow and arrow, Old Wei immediately stood up and said.
"You?" Lin Dong looked at them, and couldn't help but hesitate. It would be a pity if these seeds of his musket team were damaged here.
"General, our brother's life is saved by the general. Even if we die, what's the terrible thing? Please give the order." Old Wei continued to ask for the battle.
"Well." Lin Dong hesitated and agreed. The reason why he agreed to Lao Wei and others to join the war was that he wanted to use Lao Wei's musket to suppress the other party's bow and arrow, and the other was that he wanted Lao Wei and An Dong army to fight side by side, so that they could better integrate into An Dong army.
"Thank you, General." Old Wei was overjoyed when he saw Lin Dong agreeing.
"Brothers, follow me to kill the enemy, I will take you home!" Lin Dong shouted loudly and walked towards the rebel army with big strides.
"Go home, go home..." A roar roared out of every soldier of the Anton Army.
After so long since I came out, I have experienced another day and night of battle today. Everyone has become war-weary and has long been homeless. If anyone stops him at this time, they will tear him to pieces without hesitation.
Gao Jie and Liu Zongmin stood on both sides of the city gate. Both of them suffered great losses from An Dongjun. Now seeing Lin Dong want to leave the city, they immediately ordered: "Clog the city gate, no one is allowed to take a step back. Those who retreat will be killed..."
They finally blocked An Dongjun here, and if they missed such an opportunity, they would be hard to encounter again.
"Yes!" The supervisory team pulled out their long swords and stared at the soldiers in front of them. As long as someone retreated, they would immediately kill them.
"Slay Andong Army with one knife, reward ten taels of silver, kill one Andong Army with one prize of hundreds of silver..., brothers, fight." In order to boost morale, Liu Zongmin was preparing to buy it with money.
"Slay Andong Army with one knife, reward ten taels of silver, kill one Andong Army with one, reward hundred taels of silver..." The shouts conveyed Liu Zongmin's order.
Everyone was ready to join the riot army for so long, and they had never received military pay. Since the general was willing to pay, what reason would he not rush forward?
"Kill..." The large group of people rushed towards Andong's spear formation.
"Brothers, no one can stop us from going home, rush!" Lin Dong was not willing to be outdone, and took firm steps and walked towards the city gate. Although the speed was not fast, he was extremely firm.
"Boom!" The two armies collided, and the Anton Army's spear formation ran again, and a puff sound came out, and the rebels fell to the ground one after another.
Then, the musketeers led by Lao Wei also began to shoot, and the bangs came out one after another. Unfortunately, the gunshots were very sparse and could not form an effective firepower network at all.
Lin Dong shook his head and said, "General Wei, muskets are not used like this."
"Oh, may the general have also studied musket tactics? Please tell me." After spending time together, Old Wei was already very impressed by Lin Dong. They could come and go freely in the rebel army with just a few hundred Andong army. What kind of army is this? It has such combat effectiveness. He has been in the border army for so long and has not experienced such a one-sided war. This is simply a killing machine.
Lin Dong pointed to the musketeers and said, "You ask them to line up in three rows, the front row is only responsible for shooting, and the back two rows are responsible for loading."
"So?" Old Wei was obviously stunned. When they were in the border army, the musketeers basically only fired two shots at the beginning, and then they would immediately withdraw. He had never heard of Lin Dong's tactics.
Despite this, he was unwilling to doubt Lin Dong, so he immediately asked more than a dozen people to line up in three rows. The people in the first row were only focused on firing guns, while the two behind were specifically responsible for loading.
As a result, the gunshots immediately became dense, and screams suddenly occurred in the rebellion army, and obviously many were injured.
"Old Wei, shoot at their archers, and the infantry hand over to our spearmen." Lin Dong immediately reminded him when he saw that Old Wei shot at the infantry in front.
Hearing Lin Dong's order, Old Wei was shocked and cursed stupidly. He immediately turned his gun and shot at the archer in the distance.
Suddenly, the archers were shot down by muskets, and everyone was scared for a moment and could no longer organize an effective attack.
"General, what kind of battle is going on? Look at brothers, think of a solution!" Seeing the comrades in front of him being killed like a rabbit by An Dongjun, an intermediate general of the rebel army said with a sad face.
"What are you talking about? Order your team to rush forward." Seeing that most of the soldiers in the first team were killed or injured, Liu Zongmin became angry. From last night to now, his team has never taken advantage of it.
"General, my Wang Gang's life was given by the general. Today I will return him to the general!" Wang Gang shook his head and made up his mind. After saying that, he waved his hand and said, "Brothers, rush with me, kill them all, and avenge your brothers."
Under the leadership of Wang Gang, a team came again.
Wang Gang took the lead and rushed towards Andong's army. Before the people arrived, a long spear had been swung out.
In his opinion, although the other party's spear is not much longer than his spear, let alone riding a horse, just tearing a hole to break the opponent's formation.
Lin Dong naturally would not let him succeed. When he saw him rushing over on a horse, he immediately ordered: "Squat down in the front two rows, and lifted up the back two rows of spears."
This is an action that Anton Army has trained countless times. It is required to lift the body in the two rows in the front, and then insert the spear pole into the ground, with the spear at an angle of 45 degrees. This kind of combat method is used to crack the charge of the opponent's cavalry.
Wang Gang had just rushed to the front of the spear formation when he suddenly saw a spear forest waiting for him. He was shocked and hurriedly pulled the war horse and stopped.
"Damn it!"
"Spike, prick!" Lin Dong ordered at the right time, and the spears suddenly pierced out one after another. The horse was in pain and ran away with a long neigh.
Wang Gang tried his best to pull the horse back with the reins, but unfortunately it was useless. The horse ran around Andongjun quickly.
The Anton Army's spear formation was full of sharp spears from all directions. Wang Gang ran around the Anton Army but did not find any chance to attack. Instead, he had several holes on his body.
"And at this moment, the team led by Wang Gang also arrived in front of Andong Army. Seeing Wang Gang's war horse frightened, he was stunned and at a loss."
"Kill..." Lin Dong would not miss such a good opportunity, and immediately commanded Andong's army to move forward, and the team of the rebel army was caught off guard.
Seeing that Liu Zongmin's subordinates could not take An Dong's army, Gao Jie didn't care at all and waved to the soldiers behind him, "Shoot the arrow."
The archers who had already prepared took action one after another, and the feather arrows shot at Anton Jun like money.
Seeing that archers started shooting again, Lao Wei immediately took the musketeer to the direction where Gao Jie led the archer to shoot.
As gunfire continued to spread, archers were hit by bullets and fell to the ground.
Seeing that more than a dozen muskets had such great power, Old Wei was a little unbelievable. Lin Dong came from, and even the musket tactics were so familiar and very effective. If the border army used muskets like this, they would not have been beaten to pieces.
However, Lin Dong didn't even look back and took An Dong's army to attack the troops brought by Wang Gang and killed them.
Soon, the feather arrows shot like raindrops, but no one avoided Anton's army, and no one even went to see them. They just kept walking forward according to Lin Dong's orders. Occasionally, someone was shot by the arrow because of bad luck, but they did not make any sound.
After a few rounds of arrow rains, the crusade army fell silent. Are they all of them steel bodies and aren’t they afraid of bows and arrows at all?
Lao Wei's muskets were still not stopped. The more the archers fought, the more they became more and more frightened. Others were not injured, but many of their own people were killed or injured. If this continues, their brothers will be killed.
The most hateful thing is that if you shoot your bow and arrow, you will not hurt the enemy at all, but if you are not, your own people will be seriously injured if you are hit by a musket and bullet.
If you are unlucky or even die, why did these fire sticks that have no effect in the past have reached the enemy's hands so powerful? What kind of battle is this? They asked in their hearts, but unfortunately no one can answer it.
As time passed, they became less and less confident in fighting. Anton Jun was simply a devil and they would not die at all.
In fact, the Anton Army was not immortal, but their will was too firm. In order to win, they were not afraid of sacrifice, nor were they afraid of bleeding.
This is also when the trench army saw the blood left by the place where Anton Army walked, they realized that they were not hit by arrows, but that no one made a sound.
After this charge, Wang Gang's troops finally couldn't withstand the pressure of death and began to collapse.
