Chapter 21 Leading the way
On the Great Wall of Chu, the air seemed to be stagnant, and everyone held their breath nervously. The Hongniang couldn't help but say, "Young Master Li, the army is going to climb the wall from the flanks, why don't I bring some people to stop him?"
Li Xin said without thinking: "Don't worry about him, the Great Wall is only half a foot wide, and he can't organize troops even if he climbs up. He Hu led a few brave men to put on iron armor, which is enough to make it difficult for him to advance. If he surrounds the wall from the back, he is even less afraid. If a man can pass the wall, a horse cannot pass it. Without a horse, a group of infantrymen, what are you afraid of?
We should not be disturbed by his dazzling attack. We should look at the essence through the phenomenon. Our army has half a month of food and grass, and its energy can be consumed, but Li Chuang cannot afford it. Zhulianshan is only dozens of miles away from Dengzhou. Once it cannot be fought for a long time, it will be in an uproar. Then attack the front and defeat the front. Liu Zongmin will retreat without fighting."
"oh!"
The same is true for Mrs. Hong thought about it, and it was a little bit amazing, and the soldiers on the top of the city were even more energetic.
Yes, looking at the essence through the phenomenon, although the trespassing army is coming in a fierce manner, his weaknesses are also obvious. If you stare at his weaknesses, you may not be able to win a battle.
Sun Di hid behind Hong Niangzi and muttered: "Then Liu Zongmin is not good at military tactics. If the little girl is him, it would be impossible to divide the troops. He would definitely concentrate his all-out attack, but he would not be in vain."
Li Xin said unhappily: "Little girl movie, did I provoke you or what? If you are interested in Li Chuang, okay, I will send you over to him as Mrs. Ru. I heard that some old men like to play with girls the most."
"vomit!"
Sun Di made a vomiting look.
Zhou smiled and pulled Sun Di back. She found that Li Xin was actually easy to get along with, and her style was different from most people at that time. She was calm and decisive and had good skills, which made her feel a little curious about Li Xin.
Li Xin said again: "Madam Zhou quickly took A Di to the back. Don't panic. The musketeer followed Captain Li's order and fired. Think he was a straw man, don't treat him as a living person. Try to fight according to the horse!"
"yes!"
The musketeers agreed in unison.
The cavalry team was getting closer and closer, and Li Shengde was sweating. He was over thirty years old and was originally a small prison guard. He usually bullied the family of prisoners and received some benefits. He thought that he would be like this in his life and would not starve to death, and he would not have much success. However, as Li Xin was arrested and imprisoned, his fate changed drastically. He became a member of the rebel army and unexpectedly was appointed as the captain of the Musket Team.
He was frightened and uneasy, knowing that there was only one chance, and he was afraid that the first battle would be missed and replaced by Li Xin, but he wanted to fight a beautiful battle and be in front of Li Xin, and he felt worried and extremely distressed.
"Captain Li, don't be nervous. Do whatever you train normally."
Li Xin said with a smile.
Seeing Li Xin's confident smile and calm demeanor, Li Shengde suddenly felt relieved and said with force: "Don't worry, young master, I, old Li, will never embarrass you!"
Li Xin nodded.
The vanguard of the rebel army had approached a hundred steps.
Li Shengde estimated the distance and shouted: "The first row is ignited, the second row is ready!"
The first row of fifty soldiers lit the fuses one after another. Amid the crackling flames of the leads, the rebel army had approached sixty steps.
"The second row is hot, the third row is ready, the first row is released!"
Li Shengde stared at the front and shouted loudly.
Lighting medium-fire means not from the end of the fuse, but from two-thirds of the place.
"Bang bang bang!"
In an instant, gunfire sounded and smoke filled the air. I heard the neighing of the war horses on the opposite side and the rumbling of heavy objects falling to the ground.
Li Shengde felt relieved and knew that he had hit the ball. He quickly shouted: "Return and bounce back in the first row, hit the second row, and fire in the third row!"
Short fire is ignited from one third of the place.
"Bang bang bang!"
Two consecutive gunfires, and the whole field was filled with smoke. The second and third rows retreated and one side was shot, but the first row had not yet been well-placed, Li Xin immediately said to Hongniang: "It's your turn."
"Um!"
The Hongniang nodded violently and took the archer to fill the seat.
Most of the archers come from her team, the government army and a small number of poles, with only a hundred people. There is no way to do this. It takes a long time to train the archery. Unlike muskets, they can get started in a few days.
Arrows shot forward, and as the smoke dissipated, Li Xin's eyes shrank. He could see clearly that Hong Niangzi shot three arrows one after another, all at a distance of sixty or seventy steps. This archery technique was inferior to that of even when he was the most powerful in his previous life, because he could not shoot arrows.
The Hongniang noticed that Li Xin was looking at her and curled her lips proudly.
Liu Zongmin, who was supervising the formation behind, was also shocked. In fact, the three-wheeled musket fired volleys, only knocking down dozens of cavalry. After all, the correct head of the musket was worrying. What surprised him was that the musket was still lethal at 60 steps, surpassing the bow and arrow!
As for the archers led by Hong Niangzi, who shot over more than ten people while the random shot, he did not shock him too much.
Li Guo said in disbelief: "General whistle, how can the bird gun be shot to 60 steps when Li Xin's hand? It would be great if our people had fired for 40 steps. If they had known, I wouldn't have given him a bird gun. Damn, this kid is so treacherous."
Liu Zongmin was also regretful and the old eighth team died. They were the elites in the rebellion army and Li Zicheng's team. They were usually sad that one of them died. Before they got close, dozens of people lost their lives. They immediately gritted their teeth and said with hatred: "The more they are, the more they should be removed as soon as possible. So what if the bird gun is shot far from his hand? A hundred guns cannot be made, so you can also go up and lead the army to charge head-on!"
"Brothers, come with me!"
Li Guo waved his hand fiercely.
"kill!"
With the joining of the new force, the morale of the old eight team was greatly boosted, and they avoided the corpses on the ground and rushed to the ground. Although the second round of gunfire sounded on the Great Wall, they were fearless and fiercely fought back with bows and arrows, shouting for killing, horns, and gunfire, intertwined into a piece.
Li Xin could see that the old eighth team's tactics put aside the dazzling riding technique, mainly using bluffs to make people frightened, rob their morale, and overwhelm the opponent in one fell swoop.
This tactic is like a street gang fight, with a huge momentum, but in fact it is not remarkable. As long as he can withstand his first few waves of impact, his momentum will drop quickly. However, Li Xin suffered a loss because there were too few guns and could not form a large-scale battle. He was rushed forward by the old eight team in a wave of bullets and arrows. The dense arrows were like locusts, shooting fiercely towards the Great Wall. From time to time, someone was caught and killed and injured on both sides.
Liu Zongmin was anxious to see it, but Li Xin was even more anxious. He was afraid that there would be too many casualties and injuries, so the entire army suddenly scattered, which would really cost him his life.
"Three-eyed gun!"
There were only a few three-eyed guns in the army. Li Xin made a move and a personal guard handed over one.
"Follow me!"
Li Xin and three personal guards squeezed into the front of the city wall and aimed at the cavalry below with three-eyed guns.
"Young Master Li, be careful!"
Hong Niang reminded him urgently.
If there is a possibility, Li Xin is unwilling to lead the way. It is said that there is no sight on the battlefield. He has a deep understanding of the fact that he was inexplicably hit by a rocket in his previous life, and was blown to pieces. But he had no choice but to worry that the soldiers were frightened by the fierce attack of the rebel army, which led to the defeat of the entire army. He could only risk his life to push forward and boost morale.
"Ha, Li Xin, Li Xin, hurry up, shoot him to death!"
As soon as Li Xin leaned out, the old team eight discovered him. At about thirty steps, they set up bows and arrows, quickly pulling into a full moon.
"put!"
Li Xin shouted violently.
Chapter completed!
