Zhang Malin's artillery team did not live up to his expectations. A direct bombardment killed half of the enemy's gunners.

Even if the enemy's artillery is still intact, it won't be of much use.

Because more than half of their gunners were killed or wounded, the half of the surviving gunners didn't know that they were ambushed at this time. They were all very lucky. Their parents gave them two legs, and they ran very fast. In a short time, they were already

Ran back.

There are only three solitary cannons still on the gun truck that have not even been deployed, and nearly ten dead or injured gunners around the gun truck.

The artillery force of the Ming Army stepped onto the battlefield and suffered a devastating blow before it even had time to deploy. Moreover, after the artillery force of the Ming Army suffered a devastating blow, it directly caused the archers and county warriors behind to panic.

They ran away in a swarm.

Seeing this scene, Luo Zhixue couldn't help but shout loudly, and other people around him couldn't help but cheer.

One round of approaching artillery bombardment destroyed the enemy's artillery force. Even if the Ming army was able to drag these three artillery pieces back later, they did not have enough gunners to control them.

Not to mention, they would have to send people over if they wanted to drag these three artillery pieces back.

But... there are two artillery pieces from the Baoxiang Battalion a hundred meters away, aiming at this place.

No, after a while, soldiers from the Ming army dispatched and forcibly suppressed the retreating county warriors and archers.

Let them organize the formation again, and there are still 20 or 30 people who go straight to the artillery car empty-handed. At a glance, it is clear that they want to pull the artillery car back.

Faced with this situation, Zhang Malin's artillery fired again.

As shrapnel flew across the sky, the people who rushed up to try to snatch the artillery back suffered heavy blows. Seven or eight people were killed or injured on the spot.

Such a scene made the remaining people dare to stay there, and they turned around and ran away one by one.

Huang Guangmao, who was angry at the back, yelled!

I'm not scolding the rebels in front of them for being insidious and engaging in artillery fire. After all, the two armies are fighting and the rebels are not allowed to use any tricks.

What made Huang Guangmao angry was that these bastards once again disobeyed his order and ran away without taking back the artillery.

These idiots, the bandit's artillery was unable to fire out for a short time after being fired. It was enough time to bring the artillery back, but these idiots ran away directly after being beaten, leaving the artillery still in place again.
p>

When he was shelled for the first time, Huang Guangmao began to pay attention to the bandits in front, and he no longer regarded the bandits in Songshan as ordinary bandits.

After all, ordinary thieves cannot afford at least two artillery pieces.

Therefore, the next move he chose was very cautious and careful. Instead of sending troops to charge directly in anger, he just wanted to drag the artillery back first.

After all, artillery is a powerful weapon. If you want to attack these bandits, these three artillery can exert great power. Even if more than half of your own gunners have been killed or wounded, half of them are still not. I will add some ordinary weapons later.

The soldiers went over to help and were able to continue to control the three artillery pieces.

He also knew that when he went to drag the artillery, he would definitely be bombarded by the rebels, but what the heck.

The rate of fire of the artillery is only that small, and it will just survive a round of shelling.

In order to avoid unnecessary losses, he did not even send county warriors to go up and pull the artillery back. He just mobilized dozens of young and strong civilians to go up empty-handed.

But, these young and strong civilians have experienced this kind of battle. After being hit by artillery, all they could think about was running away, and no one could remember what they were doing.

Huang Guangmao was very angry when he failed to drag the artillery back. He directly ordered his soldiers to strictly enforce the law and beheaded the young men who were sent to pull the artillery and escaped back one by one.

After beheading the people, Huang Guangmao once again selected people to drag the cannon. This time, he didn't want those young civilians.

These young civilians are completely unreliable. No matter how strict the military law is, they can be scared away by the enemy's artillery. And next time, it is estimated that these people will not forget their own formation and run, but run to both sides, or

Just run to the valley and join the bandits.

In order to avoid any accidents, Huang Guangmao directly sent more than 30 county warriors.

In his eyes, these county warriors are also cannon fodder, but they are still cannon fodder, but they are much better than civilians who have not been trained at all.

This time he got ruthless and directly stated that if he didn't bring the artillery back, he would kill them all even if they escaped.

Of course, he also sent people and these county warriors to explain in detail: "The rebel artillery can only fire one round at most. If you survive the first round of shelling and are still alive, then if you move faster and come back with the artillery, you will die."

No!"

"The rebels don't have enough time for a second round of artillery."

"Who dies and who lives depends on luck!"

"But if we can't bring back the artillery, we will die under the ruthless military law!"

Huang Guangmao became furious. Although the county warriors were all frightened and many of them were still cursing secretly in their hearts, under the threat of strict military law, well, that is, the soldiers, they reluctantly decided to do it again.

Set off.

This time the Ming army's actions were also not smooth.

After they rushed up, they were hit by two shotgun shells before they even got close to the three artillery pieces, killing and wounding seven or eight people on the spot.

Even though the others were horrified when they looked at the friendly troops lying next to them, Huang Guangmao's words still echoed in their minds. If they could not bring back the artillery, they would all be executed.

In addition, they also know that the rebels may fire a second round of artillery in a short period of time. As long as they move quickly enough, they can leave with the artillery when the enemy launches a second round of artillery.

So, they continued to rush forward!

However, just as they approached the artillery, dozens of arrows suddenly shot up from the mountainside.

A few seconds later, seven or eight more people fell near the three artillery pieces.

Some of the nearly twenty people left were stunned.

Didn’t you say you were safe after one round of shelling? Why did you start taking arrows again?

Some of them began to try to move the artillery truck, and some of them started to retreat.

At this moment, dozens of arrows flew out from the mountainside...

Then comes the third round...

With three rounds of arrows covering them, these county warriors no longer have to hesitate, because one of them is all lying down...

These county warriors don’t have any armor on them, let alone any helmets. In order to move easily and quickly carry the artillery, they don’t even carry knives...

It is impossible for them to survive after being densely covered by arrows!

On the mountainside, Luo Zhixue watched the enemy's attempt to salvage the artillery fail again, the corners of his mouth curled up!

After seeing the officers and soldiers seize back the artillery last time, Luo Zhixue asked An Yongduo to lead two groups of soldiers from the cavalry sentry to quietly go forward. After the enemy sent people up to seize the artillery again, he decisively gave them a wave.

Cruel.

This is so effective that the other party probably no longer dares to send people to grab the artillery.

Should I consider sending someone to drag these three artillery pieces back?

Just looking at the Ming army's formation in front, especially the many Ming army archers and musketeers inside, and the distance was just right, he resisted this thought.

If you send someone to fire the cannon yourself, you will probably be beaten into a hedgehog by the opponent

At the same time, Huang Guangmao opposite looked at the scene in front of him with dull eyes...

Even Wang Jida standing next to him had his mouth half open and didn't speak for a long time.

What happened in the past few moments was far beyond their expectations.

This is unreasonable!

According to their previous judgment, the people entrenched in Songshan are just a group of ordinary bandits, and they are still stupid bandits.

This can be seen from the simple wooden wall fortifications they built.

Later, they discovered that these thieves actually had artillery on hand, and they hid it very quickly and waited for their own artillery to approach a hundred meters before they suddenly opened fire, causing heavy losses to their own artillerymen.

Even so, Huang Guangmao did not lose confidence!

Artillery, this thing is not that rare, especially this kind of short-barreled iron cannon. Not to mention the officers and soldiers who have a lot of them, short-barreled iron cannons similar to bowl-mouth cannons can be seen in the manor and fortresses of some big landowners and gentry.

.

The bandits have been fighting with the officers and soldiers for a long time, and they have attacked cities and plundered manors everywhere. It is not surprising that some lucky bandits have obtained some artillery. Moreover, the use of this kind of bowl-mouth cannon is also very simple. There is no need for complicated aiming calculations. As long as you know

Just put a rough amount of gunpowder in it and you can use it.

Therefore, don’t be surprised to see bandits with artillery. This is normal, especially among large-scale bandits, they will basically have cannons.

It's just that for the sake of mobility, most of the elite cadres of the current generation of robbers are usually cavalry, or at worst they are infantrymen riding mules and horses. Therefore, the elite cadres of the robbers are not equipped with artillery.

Therefore, Huang Guangmao didn't find it strange that the bandits in Songshan brought out two artillery pieces.

But the opponent suddenly fired such a dense and rhythmic arrow formation, which made Huang Guangmao frown directly.

This time, I am afraid that I will encounter a tough opponent. The person facing me is either an old thief or a thief with a background of rebels.

Huang Guangmao has fought against bandits for many years, and he knows very well what bandits are like. He has fought countless ordinary bandits, and has also fought several elite and veteran bandits several times.

Judging from his experience, the thieves who can shoot this kind of arrow array are definitely not ordinary thieves.

When encountering such a tough situation, Huang Guangmao cannot help but be careless!

If we don't do this well, we might end up capsizing in the gutter.

Huang Guangmao frowned, while Wang Jida on the side was stunned for a while, but soon his face showed greed.

Elite old thief?

OK!

The weight of the head of this elite old thief is much greater than that of ordinary thieves!

If this group of elite old thieves can be wiped out, if another famous thieves leader can be killed or captured alive, plus his previous contribution to leading the team to wipe out the Sky-trading Tigers and other random thieves.<

With so much credit here, if anyone above just promoted him to a fellow academician, they would be looking down on him, and Zhihu would be just so-so.

He was prepared to spend a lot of money and operate it carefully. If he was lucky, he might be able to get a Nanjing Sixth Science and get out of trouble.
