On Sanlipu Street, a crowd of white people approached from the south. The streets were filled with the sound of footsteps and the sound of metal clanking when they bumped into each other.
Mandar's mouth was wide open. Qin Jiuze and Yang Shisan turned to look, but also stayed in place, and then slowly turned their bodies to face the south. Armored soldiers wearing full body armor came towards them. These people were bloated.
As he walked, he swung widely horizontally and moved a little slowly. The dense silver helmets in the queue swayed back and forth. There were countless knives, sticks, heavy knives, two-handed axes, and threads on the edge of the queue.
Guns and maces were intertwined, and looking from the direction of Mandal, it seemed that the whole street was shaking. Following an order, the leader of the armored soldiers finally stopped in the small square. The queue behind was very long. Looking from the street to the south,
Before the end, when the team stopped, these people put their weapons on the ground with their heads down, holding them with both hands to help support them.
Support your body.
Mandar opened his mouth and said after a long while, "This is your infantry."
Yang Guangdi nodded, "The Pang Pang people's personal soldiers headquarters are called heavy infantry in martial arts. My family also has land and water camp marines. The marines are light infantry, and the land camp is a mixed army."
The armored soldiers over there stood on the same spot, most of them slightly bent, using their weapons to support their bodies. When the officers formed the team, they only slightly adjusted their formation, and they were not required to line up neatly.
Mandal turned to look at Yang Guangdi, "Does your family have so many Liangjia servants?"
"More." Yang Guangdi replied casually. Apart from Anqing Camp, he had only seen Wusong Camp, and he didn't know how to calculate it. Anyway, Wusong Camp didn't have many Liangjia servants. "One round is more than a hundred,
I don’t know how many games have come.”
Yang Shisan tilted his head and came over, "Why didn't you send out so many servants earlier?"
"They don't even ride horses, so why are they sent here?"
Mandal asked doubtfully, "The servants don't ride horses... Is this how the Southern soldiers fight?"
Yang Shisan turned to Qin Jiuze with a face full of suspicion, "Is this army from the south or from the north? Is Anqing from the south or from the north?"
Qin Jiuze hesitated and said, "Let's go south."
"That's Nan Bing. But you told me back then that Nan Bing was useless."
Qin Jiuze said a little embarrassed, "I also heard what Mr. Bai said."
"My artillery is here." Yang Guangdi suddenly raised his voice and started dancing. The captain in front turned back and glared at him, and Yang Guangdi quickly retracted the queue.
He whispered to Qin Jiuze, "Did you see my cannon?"
The three people turned around and saw a small cannon being towed by four horses. They had just arrived at the post road in front of the square from the road east of the cross street. They were blocked by a line of armored soldiers. The barrel did not look big, and the muzzle was not large.
Also very small.
Yang Shisan glanced briefly and then turned back to the armored soldiers, "What kind of cannon is this? Yang Guangdi, listen to me. Bigger cannons are of no use. What can such a small cannon do? The armored soldiers are the only one." A thumbs up.
Zan Hua went over and stood in front of the packhorse of the artillery cart, not allowing them to move forward. The artilleryman and Zan Hua started arguing, and soon an officer next to Chen Rulie walked over. After giving the artilleryman a few instructions, he and the artilleryman began to unload the artillery cart.
, and pointed out the location to them, and seemed to drag them to an alley next to the stage by manpower.
Yang Guangdi turned to the other two people and said, "This cannon is really powerful. It gets the highest military pay. Did you see it? It's so majestic."
Qin Jiuze and Mandal ignored it and turned back to look at the armored soldiers.
Mandar looked at the bright-armored servants and was still a little confused, "You have hundreds of infantrymen at home, what are we here to do?"
"I don't know." Yang Guangdi shook his head, "Last year, when the fight against the rogues came to a critical stage, we relied on the artillery and the soldiers to rush in and defeat the right wing of the rogues."
"How can the rogue bandits be beaten like this?" Yang Shisan also shook his head, "Cannons are useless, just this iron armor will do it, a hundred will do it." The square officer of the Personal Soldiers Division called several officers, and Chen Rulie kept walking towards the street to the north.
After giving instructions, the cavalrymen and the officers of the Guards Department mingled together and discussed noisily for a moment without knowing what they were talking about. Soon there was an iron
Officer A received the order, and about three armored soldiers of the flag team walked north along the street. One of the flag teams came to stand across the street from the Horse Temple. The armored flag general gave an order and all turned towards this direction.
The Ranger's mount stirred slightly. Yang Guangdi saw Huo Huo's ears tilted back, indicating that it was nervous at this time, and immediately touched its neck. At this time, they were even closer. Qin Jiuze looked at these armored soldiers carefully, most of them
It is cotton armor with scale armor, and a small amount is chain mail. Most of them use two-handed weapons suitable for streets. Those who wear chain mail use one-handed weapons. These people only have 10% of the weapons.
There are bows and arrows. I don’t know if this is just the case in the town war today or in normal times.
Most of these armored soldiers had broad cheeks and were tall and tall after wearing armor. They didn't even look at the rangers as they passed by, looking arrogant. After they stopped, they used their weapons to support them, and one of them suddenly noticed Manda'er here.
Mandar's eight-petaled helmet was still hanging on his mount, revealing the pigtails on his head. This image was very rare in the mainland.
The armored soldiers on the opposite side immediately discovered this fun. They did not dare to talk in the queue, but bumped arms with each other to remind their teammates to watch the fun, with mocking expressions on their faces. The most unique one among them was particularly tall, taller than the armored soldiers next to him.
He is half a head taller, and his breastplate is like a whole iron plate, polished brighter than the Tatars' white-armored soldiers. The weapon he uses is a mace, and the head of the club is brighter than the others.
The one was bigger, with an iron head on the top to increase the weight, and the pole was longer than others. He looked at the person with blank eyes, staring at Mandar without blinking. On the opposite side, there were all kinds of lights.
The heavy weapons were arranged in a row and being watched by a group of heavy armored soldiers made Mandar'er feel hairy all over. Even Qin Jiuze next to him felt uncomfortable. He coughed. Mandarer looked around and then turned around and put on his helmet.
He put it on, but it seemed a little late, and the people opposite him still stared at him.
"Chief Xu!"
Yang Guangdi let out a low cry, but the giant man opposite him didn't respond and still stared blankly at Mandal'er.
Mandal simply turned his head towards the temple door, no longer looking at the brightly armored soldiers.
The captain was in front, so Yang Guangdi didn't dare to shout loudly, so he had to wave to the opposite side. The strong man finally noticed and turned his eyes.
As soon as he saw Yang Guangdi, a warm smile suddenly appeared on his dull face. He picked up the mace and walked over. Yang Shisan immediately moved slightly to the side, but an armored soldier next to him dragged the strong man back with all his strength.
.
At this time, Mr. Qi had already run over, "Turn around and hand over the horse to the fire soldiers to take away, and the rangers will enter the horse temple." The captain immediately led the team, and the rangers went west from the cross street to the intersection, where there was a little
In the chaos, there were dismounted cavalry, newly arrived artillery, and a martial arts test team with muskets. Fire soldiers from the cavalry headquarters were waiting there.
Each person picked up four horses, pulled them and walked south from the outside of the town. The team returned to the Horse Temple. As soon as they entered, there were already more than a dozen heavy armored soldiers standing inside. They were tying red cloth belts on their arms, probably for easy identification, because
It's hard to tell whether it's the white armor of a Jiannu slave just by looking at the armor, and it's even harder to tell if there's a fight.
Attention.
Captain Xu was also among them. In addition to the particularly conspicuous mace, he also had a hatchet stuck in his waistband, and a checkered short knife on the other side.
President Qi asked the rangers to gather around him. He looked at the crowd and said, "We are going to ambush the Jiannu vanguard here." Although the rangers had guessed it, they still made a commotion for a moment. President Qi continued, "Pang Pang has mobilized.
The First Cavalry Division, the Artillery Division directly under the First Cavalry General, all Rangers, the Martial Arts Firearms Test Team, the Remote Sentinel Test Team and the three Guards Bureaus
.The armored soldiers were the main force in the ambush, but they did not bring light infantry this time. President Chen Qian asked us to coordinate with the personal soldiers to fight on foot and wipe out all the Jiannu who entered Sansanlipu. The rangers were the ones who broke the front and stepped on the white, just like dismounting.
They are the best infantry." Everyone nodded in unison, and General Qi said carefully, "The following is the battle plan. Everyone has heard it. The Tatar forwards are generally divided into two groups. The first group has fewer people, and the second group has more people.
, one mile apart. This time, Mr. Chen Qian’s arrangement was to let go of the first batch of small Tatar vests and ambush the second batch of vests. The first cavalry division was hiding in Hezhuang, five miles away from here, and the cannons were fired.
Then rush here, they will chase the first group of slaves, and the rest of the mobilized battalions will be on the third
In Shilipu, we are responsible for killing the second group with the largest number." "The Second Cavalry Bureau will lure the Tatars over, and we will not attack until the Tatars enter the town. We must not alert them in advance. The deeper they go, the better. Before the battle
You are not allowed to prepare muskets, you are not allowed to light match ropes, you are not allowed to cock your crossbows in advance, and you are not allowed to leave mounts in the town. Anyone who makes a sound after the area is cleared will be killed immediately." General Qi stopped deliberately, waited for a moment and continued, "Remember to wait for the swan's sound.
Only then can you rush out. There is an artillery hidden in the alley on the left side of the stage. It will fire towards the intersection south of the stage.
Let it go, everyone, pay attention."
No one among the rangers who formed a circle spoke. Mandal's face was red and he nodded repeatedly. Qin Jiuze looked at the ground, but the hands he held were rubbing together slightly, while Yang Shisan kept rubbing the bow in his hand.
"Old Qin, I asked for two throwing axes. They are useful in narrow places." Mr. Qi took out two axes from his waist and handed them to Qin Jiuze.
Qin Jiuze was a little surprised. The flag general actually noticed that Xuanda and the others lacked blunt weapons. He immediately caught the ax and handed it to Mandal and Yang Shisan respectively.
The flag general clapped his hands and looked at everyone, "Brothers, kill all the Tatars!"
Everyone shouted in unison, "Kill all the Tatars!"
…
On December 19, the eleventh year of Chongzhen, at three quarters of noon.
Under the gloomy sky, Sansanlipu was surprisingly quiet, and the streets and alleys were deserted. However, looking from the sky, countless figures wearing silver armor gathered in various streets and courtyards.
The temple door of the Horse Temple is ajar, and the door of the lobby is open. Inside the wall of the lobby, there are a small group of armored soldiers and a small group of rangers. The armored soldiers are now three people in a circle, sitting on the ground against each other, wearing helmets.
The armored soldiers and weapons were put aside. These armored soldiers seemed to be used to it and no longer stared at Mandal. However, Captain Xu actually fell asleep and snored slightly.
The rangers were on the other side. Yu Laoer discussed a few words with the captain of the soldiers, and then came back and said to the other rangers, "Remember the order of the drill just now. I, Lao Qin, and Yang Shisan will go outside first to break the armor."
Cone fire for one round, then wait for the heavy armored soldiers
Go out first, we will go out later, kill the Tatars when they see them, remember we are cooperating with the armored soldiers, don't run away by yourself."
Yang Guangdi nodded quickly and recalled the content of the drill in his head. At this time, there was a burst of footsteps outside, and several officers ran across the road. General Qi came in from the door and said, "The Second Cavalry Bureau announced that Jian Nu is here.
At a distance of five miles, the first group of Tatars chased more than forty people, but the second group could not be seen clearly. The distance lens estimated that two hundred people were chasing after them.
, get ready and wait for the sound of the swan trumpet." Mr. Qi said and ran out. The other two teams were on the stage. Yu Laoer went over and closed the door of the second entrance, and locked the bolts behind the door.
.According to their intelligence, the Qing army usually entered the temple last, and sometimes
They did not want to enter the temple, so they chose Ma Temple as one of the ambush sites. The armored soldiers in the courtyard got up one after another and helped each other put on their armor. They checked their weapons and armor one by one. Xu Wu Zhang was also awakened, and the teammates next to him
An iron visor was hung on his helmet, and the hoop was fastened
, a demon-fighting face with fangs and ghostly face covered Xu Wuchang’s face.
The rangers also checked each other's equipment. Yang Guangdi was ordered not to prepare muskets until after the war started. In order to prevent him from encountering the bottles and jars containing gunpowder like last time, he placed all the muskets on the steps.
.
At this time, I felt something on my leg. I looked down and saw that Qin Jiuze was handing over a small knife. The handle was relatively simple, but the blade was sharp and thin. It also came with a scabbard, which was very similar to the one Qin Jiuze used.
Qin Jiuze whispered, "I made it, you can use it."
Yang Guangdi quickly continued, "Thank you, Uncle Qin."
Qin Jiuze waved his hand, went over to help Mandar arrange the arrow inserts, and arranged the armor-breaking awls at the outer position. Then he took two armor-breaking awls, clamped them between his fingers, and squatted against the wall.
Everyone quickly finished tidying up, and after waiting for a while, a sound of banging came from the north and went south. This was a signal to clear the place, and no sound could be made from now on.
Everyone put their medals into their mouths, and the two captains slowly took out their weapons. The courtyard became quiet for a while, because the place had been cleared, and no one could speak, and even had to be careful with their movements.
There was silence in Sanlipu, everything seemed frozen, and people in the courtyard exchanged glances with each other.
Yang Guangdi's heartbeat quickened. He controlled his breathing and listened intently to what was going on outside.
The sound of horse hoofbeats came faintly from the north, and then became clearer and clearer. The first batch to come should be the second round of cavalry to lure the enemy.
The second game is approaching quickly, with dense horseshoes beating on the bluestone on the post road, and quickly moving away towards the south.
Almost immediately after the second round, new hoofbeats sounded from the north, and the first batch of Qing army forwards came.
They did not stop, whizzing past on the post road, and occasionally the riders made strange howls. The sound of the first batch of Qing troops' hooves passed quickly, and silence returned to Sansanlipu. Yang Guangdi breathed a sigh of relief.
The Qing army was so careless that they did not conduct any searches. Mr. Chen Qian's plan was half successful. Now he was waiting for the second group of Qing troops to come forward.
Front.
After a while, another burst of hoofbeats came from the north. This time it was not a crisp sound, but a dull sound of many sounds mixed together.
The sound of hoofbeats soon reached the town, and the sound became more intense, much larger than that of the Second Cavalry Bureau. Waves of tremors could be heard on the steps and stones where Yang Guangdi was leaning.
The sound of hoofbeats arrived outside the Horse Temple. Everyone held their own weapons. Yang Guangdi's palms were wet. He glanced at Qin Jiuze. Qin Jiuze's wrinkled face was calm and he nodded towards Yang Guangdi.
Nodding. Yu Laoer put his hand on the door latch. Yang Guangdi closed his eyes and waited for the swan sound.
