Chapter 646 Headwind Reversal(1/2)
However, Yang Bi ran faster, and the Jin army pursued him more fiercely.
Originally, the purpose of Wang Mi and others was to test the deterrent effect of the pistol to see if it could achieve the expected effect.
Now it seems that the effect is quite good.
It was this shocking effect that made Wang Mi excited.
"Brothers, follow me!"
"Capture the General of Di Qin alive!"
Wang Mi held a pistol in his hand and drove his war horse, running wildly. Wang Mi was very proud of his ambition. The pony horse under his crotch really didn't lose its chain at the critical moment. His short legs kept moving one step at a time, and he ran so fast.
Like the wind.
Soon, Wang Mi, led by the pony, rushed out of the queue, ran to the front and became the leader!
"Zhiyuan!"
"Slow down!"
"Danger!"
Between Liu Yu and Wang Mi, there were two hundred people from the pistol team. By the time he settled his team and rushed forward, Xiao Wang could no longer be stopped.
He had no choice but to shout desperately and pursue with all his strength, while Wang Mi in front, supported by his double stirrups, let go of the reins with both hands.
So chic!
This feeling!
This is what he has always pursued, galloping among thousands of troops and horses on the vast grassland (although there is no grass around).
In Wang Mi's ears, Liu Yu's shouts gradually reached him. However, he ignored them completely. The target was right ahead, one shot at a time. How could he give up on such an enjoyable thing.
I simply can’t bear it!
After loading the gunpowder, Wang Mi raised the primer, clicked it lightly, and then pointed at his target.
He had already chosen that goal!
It was Yang Bi who was the only one in the battle formation wearing a full set of general armor and a red tassel on his head!
To capture the thief, capture the king first!
No one understands this truth better than Wang Mi.
At the critical moment, Wang Mi also moved the barrel of the pistol.
Who shot first?
Or shoot the horse first?
The horse's leg is a smaller target, but if you can hit it, you can witness with your own eyes the tragic scene of the horse's leg bending and Yang Bi falling under the horse!
Although he wasn't good at archery, he was good at shooting guns. In the Jin Dynasty, Wang Mi dared to be second, and no one dared to be first. He was so confident!
boom!
boom!
"this……"
"Why did this happen?"
There was a burst of smoke and dust, and the lead bullets flew out instantly, giving Wang Mi no time to hesitate.
Only then did someone remember that he was so proud just now that he had forgotten for a moment that although the name of the thing in his hand was a pistol, in the final analysis, it was just a blunderbuss.
As soon as the gunpowder is ignited, the lead bullet will immediately escape. Today's rudimentary handguns simply cannot aim and shoot at the same time as modern pistols.
Although Wang Mi had determined his target at first, when he lit the gunpowder and aimed at the target again, the target had already deviated!
ah!
A shout seemed to penetrate the air and reached Wang Mi's ears. It seemed to be quite clear.
Wang Mi was surprised by the wounded soldier's sonorous voice.
Yes!
When the target fell to the ground, he discovered that Yang Bi, who was wearing a red tassel on his head, was not injured at all and was still riding his horse.
The one who fell was actually a cavalryman beside him. He hit the wrong person!
Tsk tsk...
What a pity!
Wang Mi's regrets didn't stop there. Just when he fired a shot in a cool way and hit the wrong target, Liu Yu also chased after him and pulled him back without saying a word.
"This is too suspenseful!"
"Quickly, protect Mr. Wang, let's go back to the city!"
"Jinnu, how can we go back like this!"
"They are already stragglers. At this time, we should take advantage of the victory and pursue them!" Wang Mi insisted on his opinion, but Liu Yu refused to give in.
"Their army is just here to test. They are small in number and poorly prepared. The scale of Nanyang County ahead is much larger than that of Xinye County. There are at least 20,000 to 30,000 defenders inside."
"The troops we have now are not many. Even if we add the soldiers in Xinye City, it is far from enough. A hasty pursuit will only harm our army!"
"Don't chase the poor bandit!" Seeing that Wang Mi still refused to give up, Liu Yu pulled him again. Wang Mi rolled his eyes and saw that Yang Bi ran further away. He could no longer see the shadow. Had to give up.
"All right!"
"Go back to the city first. There are still many things to discuss with General Huan and the others."
You can't have your cake and eat it too. Thinking of the people in Xinye City who still knew nothing about the Pistol Team, Wang Mi could only look at the Qin army getting further and further away, and ran in the opposite direction...
…………
"Zhiyuan!"
"You are finally back!"
"Quick, take off your armor and have a good rest!"
Wang Mi followed his words and took off his armor. Zeng Jing, the young general who had followed him all the way to the Xinye battlefield, quickly took it over.
"No need to scrub. There's no blood on it. It's quite clean."
"Yes, I obey."
Zeng Jing left quickly. As a considerate subordinate, he should have scrubbed Wang Mi's armor again, but Zeng Jing did not do so.
First of all, this armor is indeed very clean. Apart from some dust, there is almost no blood stain, not even a blood spot.
Secondly, as a soldier, obeying orders is a bounden duty. According to Zeng Jing's understanding, there is no need to be too diligent in front of the general. He just does what the general says.
The only place where he can provide advice is on the battlefield. Apart from the battlefield, in daily life, around Wang Mi, there is no need to be too tactful.
"Zhiyuan, the team you brought is really amazing!"
"I saw that those soldiers were holding a weapon in their hands, probably made of iron. What kind of magical weapon is it?"
"As soon as that thing sounded, all the evil beasts of Di and Qin were scared away, and our army made countless gains!" Thinking of the hearty scene just now on the battlefield, Mr. Huan laughed so hard.
At this moment, Mr. Huan finally understood what it means to reverse against the wind.
Just before Wang Mi and others arrived, the situation of the Jingzhou soldiers could be said to be extremely urgent. They were unprepared. They tried to protect the Dongjiao Gate several times but were destroyed by the Di Qin soldiers, causing heavy casualties.
Later, in order to preserve his strength, Huan Chong had to continue to reduce the number of soldiers leaving the city. However, the consequence of this operation was that the Dongjiao Gate would gradually become undefeatable.
The arrows shot down from the tower had little effect on the Qin soldiers who were already close to the tower.
At this critical moment, one person stood up, and that was Wang Mi!
He led a team of two hundred pistols and three hundred archers, like a god descending!
Yes!
In the eyes of Huan Chong, Huan Yi and others at that time, Wang Mi's appearance was like a god descending to earth, born out of nowhere!
Guya
Without warning at all, Shinno Castle was saved like this!
Under the impact of the pistol team, the Di Qin army was soon defeated. At this time, the Jin army, which had been suppressed by force just now, became frightened again.
While the Qin soldiers were on their backs and in chaos, they picked up their weapons and killed hundreds of them!
Those Qin soldiers who ran slowly and panicked were caught by the Jin army and became prisoners.
"It's a pity that Yang Bi escaped." Wang Mi clenched his fist and knocked on the table.
Since returning to Xinye City, Wang Mi has been worried about the fact that he did not hit Yang Bi but let him run away.
What a great opportunity!
Why was it wasted like this?
"Zhiyuan, don't worry, that Yang Bi, including his cousin Yang Ding, can't escape, they will always come to you!"
To be continued...
