Hearing the woman's scream, several farmers in the yard became a little commotion. However, they were immediately pressed firmly to the ground. But what they imagined that their female family members were being molested did not happen!
With the scream, a young daughter-in-law rushed out of the door. Just as she was about to call someone, she saw what was happening in the yard and was so frightened that she sat down on the ground! Then two soldiers walked out of the room quickly.
He shook his head at the officer. The officer cursed in a low voice with dissatisfaction. He probably felt that he was unlucky and did not block the salt owl.
However, he still strictly performed his duties. He said loudly: "Drive people back to the room, and we will rush to the next house!"
As soon as the soldiers let go of their hands, the young man who was pushed to the ground jumped up, rushed to the door and helped his wife up. He said angrily: "Daughter-in-law, did they touch you?"
The daughter-in-law shook her head in shock and said, "They didn't touch me, they just ran around the house. It was so scary!"
Hearing this, several farmers breathed a sigh of relief! At this time, the faces of the soldiers leaving the yard looked much better! The old man who was being questioned also muttered something, but no one heard clearly.
In fact, there are not many salt lords and swordsmen living in the entire Zhuangzi, and there are less than a hundred people in total. According to their combat effectiveness, this number is enough for the officers and soldiers to fight head-on, and they can easily capture the farmers!
But no matter how powerful they are, they are no longer a match for the well-trained regular army! Especially when it is dinner time, they are all scattered in various farmers' homes to eat, which simply gives the Wu'an Army a chance to defeat them!
And the most important point is that among these people, swordsmen are particularly easy to deal with! Because swordsmen are a half-black and half-white profession. They usually make money by working as bodyguards and escorting goods, and occasionally they also act as robbers behind the scenes, but
Generally speaking, they still dare to show their faces in front of the officers and soldiers.
But on the other hand, they have a lot of scruples when facing the champion. After all, after killing the officials and rebelling, they can only fall behind! So when these swordsmen saw that the people who rushed in were government troops, most of them surrendered directly.
But swordsmen are a minority among this group of people after all, most of them are salt lords! These people are extremely cruel and arrogant, and they have blood feuds with the government and army, so they will never lay down their weapons and surrender! And the Wu'an army's
The main combat opponents are these people!
At the beginning of the battle, Liu Haojia was afraid that these salt lords would take the people hostage, which would be very troublesome to deal with! But as the battle reports kept coming, he finally came to his senses and knew why the salt lords did not take the people hostage!
Because in the eyes of Yan Xiao, no matter which officer or army of the Ming Dynasty, they are not good people! They are not good at fighting, and their weapons are lousy...! But they all have a common characteristic, which is to kill the good and take credit! Hu Ao's officers and soldiers and the bad
The difference between the officers and the army is that the bad officers and soldiers directly kill the people and behead them to report their merits! The good officers and soldiers behead the dead people to report their merits!
So no matter what you say, this thing is true! So the salt lords all feel that if they take the common people as hostages, these officers and soldiers may be happy to see it! They will definitely kill the hostages together, so that the heads of those who repay the merits will be
Yes! That’s why the most troublesome situation for Liu Haojia didn’t happen!
This Zhuangzi itself is under the name of Qian Shounian, and Zhuangzi itself is not big, with only more than a hundred households. That's why Qian Shounian placed the salt owl here. Whatever these salt owl eats can be taken directly from the Zhuangzi. But now this
But it became a shortcoming. Zhuangzi was surrounded on all sides and could not escape!
Moreover, these salt lords have been dealing with officers and soldiers for a long time, and they regard the Wu'an army as ordinary Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers! The reason is the firecrackers held by the soldiers. Because only the officers and soldiers have a large number of firearms.
The firecrackers used by the Ming Dynasty's official army were well designed, but they were not properly maintained and the gunpowder configuration was not good. Coupled with insufficient training, the soldiers had poor shooting opportunities and accuracy! So the Salt Owls
Not afraid of firearm strikes at all!
But what they faced today was a new type of fire cannon. When the trigger was pulled, lead bullets would be ejected, instead of relying on match ropes as in the past, which wasted time and gave them opportunities to counterattack or dodge. Therefore, the ones who heard the sound were the first to fire.
Those who rushed out to fight back suffered heavy casualties!
These people were basically shot down by firecrackers as soon as they came face to face. Even if they were not shot down, they would just fall into the bayonets of the soldiers when they rushed over! Those who escaped the lead bullets immediately had more than a dozen bayonets flying up and down.
It's stabbing me, and you can't dodge it even though you're so capable, you can only hide your hatred for it!
Seeing that their companions in front were either beaten into sieves or stabbed into sieves by bayonets, the salt owls in the back became smarter and huddled in the room to resist. This left great difficulties for the soldiers to clear up! Especially among them there were also
Five archers even caused casualties!
After being alerted, they did not rush out of the room. Instead, they ambush at the door and window. This is related to their profession. After all, bows and arrows are long-range weapons, and they can only be lethal if they are kept at a distance! Moreover, bows and arrows are effective at close range.
The power of shooting is a little less than that of fire guns, but not much different! So the three soldiers who first attacked the courtyard where the archers were were directly shot to the ground by feather arrows!
At this time, the benefits of Liu Haojia's adjustment of the army were seen! As soon as their companions were shot to the ground, the sword and shield soldiers quickly rushed into the yard, first using their shields to protect the wounded and themselves, and the people behind directly dragged the wounded out.
Then the sword and shield soldiers held their shields to protect their bodies and approached the room. The archers in the room kept shooting arrows, but they were all blocked by the shields! When the sword and shield soldiers came close, they rushed forward quickly and directly pushed the shields against them.
On the window, the archer is completely eliminated!
Then the fire cannon soldiers rushed into the yard, stretched the fire cannon from the edge of the shield and fired randomly, killing the archer directly in the room! In this way, the only group of people who caused casualties to the soldiers were eliminated!
These Salt Owls have close to a hundred people, which is already considered a big force! If they fight against five hundred strong people and archers, they can defeat the opponent and drive them to a flying halt! If they fight against five hundred strong people and archers, they will be defeated and defeated!
A hundred-man guard can definitely win the battle!
Although you will definitely lose if you face five hundred officers and soldiers, they will definitely be killed in the early stage. If you are not careful, you may be able to make a comeback! But it is different when you face five hundred Wu'an troops.
