"Crack... bang..." Tuan Ding neatly raised the spear in his hand.
The team of water bandits stopped spontaneously, and now the two sides were more than two hundred meters away. They could already see each other clearly.
"Damn it, the secret has been revealed. Why are these group coaches here?" Behind the crowd, the second leader Guo Bu shouted, hesitating whether to move on or not.
"Brothers, charge forward and fight with them!" Guo Bu still ordered the team to charge forward. Anyway, they are all refugees, and they will die if they die. They always want to test the strength of the opponent.
Under the beating and scolding of the little leader, the crowd yelled and ran forward.
"Pah...pah" a gunshot sounded like exploding beans.
The water bandits who were running at the front fell down like wheat.
The water bandits behind him didn't react yet and stood there blankly.
"Run away!" Someone shouted, waking up the stunned crowd. The group of homeless water bandits no longer paid attention to the command of the small leader. Even if the small leader in the team slashed with a knife, it was of no use. The deterrent effect of the volley of muskets was
It's really too big.
"Second Gou, get down quickly." Daniel shouted to Er Gou.
They ran behind, no matter how fast they ran, they could not outrun the bullets. As soon as Ergou and Uncle Da Niu lay down, they saw blood splattering on the backs of the people running in front of them.
"Surrender without killing! Surrender without killing!" Huaihai regiment training officers shouted in unison.
These words were like a life-saving straw. The water bandits composed of refugees lay on the ground one after another. Only the small leader placed in the team was still running, and the second leader Guo Bu ran at the front. He was strong and ran the fastest.
Hurry. "My dear, the muskets trained by this group are so sharp." He was still thinking while running. He was not very worried. As long as he could run back, he would report the situation here to the boss and let him
Don't be impulsive, just go back and conserve your strength.
Just at the stall where he was distracted, two more teams shot out from the left and right. These colorful troops were seen kneeling on the ground and shooting. Each shot could take the life of a small boss. He also has his own blood.
He raised his sword and called out to the few bosses around him, and rushed towards the nearest colorful army. He was confident that he could use his own sword to avenge his dead brothers.
However, Huaihai regiment training also saw him, and several regiment men pointed their guns at him. After all, his personal bravery was no match for a brass bullet. Guo Bu was hit by several bullets at the same time, and his body bounced back.
My eyes are wide open...
The battle came to an end in 10 minutes. Except for a few small bosses who ran away, all 2,000 people were annihilated. During the first wave of attacks, more than 200 people were killed and wounded, and all the others were made prisoners.
"It's so boring! It's not enjoyable at all." Dong Shuheng said to Liu Qingnan beside him as he watched the regiment members escorting the captives back one by one.
"I think these people may just be cannon fodder sent by Lai Shancheng. The troops must quickly gather these prisoners and prepare for the next battle." Liu Qingnan reminded.
In fact, Dong Shuheng also saw that if it was relying on these people and equipment, Lai Shancheng would have been destroyed long ago.
"Master Liu, go tell Master Zhizhou and ask the brothers from the patrol camp to come over and crush the prisoners away." He said to Master Liu next to him, and then looked at Liu Qingnan beside him: "Qingnan, gather the troops and repair them briefly.
one time."
A total of more than 1,700 people were captured in this battle, but not a single member of the regiment died. Only an unlucky guy from the 1st Company of the Second Battalion injured his foot during the pursuit. The prisoners lowered their heads one by one. Each row of ten people was separated by a long stick.
The ropes were tied together, which was very honest. As the soldiers from the patrol camp took the prisoners away, the Huaihai regiment here calmed down.
Most of them were killing people for the first time. They didn't feel anything when they were shooting from a distance just now. It was almost the same as their usual shootings. Now they were cleaning the battlefield and looked at the bloody appearance of the water bandits who were shot, especially some
The water bandit's belly was torn open by the powerful kinetic energy of the mini bullet, and his intestines flowed all over the floor. The key is that the man was still dragging his intestines on the ground and wailing.
They were all simple salt-and-pepper men. Anyone who had ever seen such a scene would immediately vomit the compressed biscuits they had eaten in the morning all over the floor.
Dong Shuheng did not let the officers rebuke these soldiers. In his words, "You spit, you get used to it." Many officers were the same. Dong Shuheng did not vomit. In his previous life, he took an elective forensic course when he was in college, and then went out after work.
On site, it really held up.
"Eh? Did I forget something? We can't kill all of these wounded, we have to save them one at a time." Dong Shuheng suddenly thought that he had hired two military doctors in Dongtai before. They were actually two wandering doctors who knew how to treat people.
He was injured from a fall, and he had some prescriptions for gold sore medicine in his hand. When these two guys heard that they wanted to join the army, they were both unwilling to do so. They only agreed after Dong Shuheng offered him a sky-high salary of ten taels of silver per month.
At this moment, the two of them were in a temporary shed built next to the doorway. They heard that there were no casualties on their side, so they thought that nothing could be done.
"Send all the injured prisoners to the military doctors, and move them as long as they are still breathing."
After a while, the wounded water bandits were neatly stacked all over the shed. The two military doctors were confused at the sight of them. This enemy also needed to be saved.
"Hurry up and save people. I tell you, you two, remember what I told you about disinfection and suturing."
The two military doctors rushed to treat him. Fortunately, Dong Shuheng had prepared all the tools for them before the expedition, including scissors, tweezers, scalpels, needles and threads. There was even a concentrated alternative antibiotic boiled with garlic.
Dong Shuheng didn't know if this was useful, so he just used these prisoners to experiment.
The two military doctors began to operate under Dong Shuheng's semi-force, but looking at the pale faces of these two people, it seemed a bit unprofessional. Fortunately, the two doctors had seen some things in the world and did not vomit all over the floor like Tuan Ding.
In the camp by the river, the water bandits from the old camp waited for a long time but did not receive reinforcements from the regiment. However, they did wait for several small leaders who had escaped and returned.
"Trash!" After hearing what the little boss said, Lai Shancheng kicked away the little boss who reported the report. Two thousand people were thrown in without even a splash, and his good brother Guo Bu was even hurt. How to make him not angry?
?
"Brothers, these despicable group trainers are ambushing the east gate. They killed the second master. Follow me to avenge the second master!"
"Revenge! Revenge!" a group of water bandits shouted.
"Third brother, take five hundred brothers to Xiejia Town and raid Dong Shuheng's lair. Remember not to leave anyone alive." Lai Shancheng said to Ding Zhonglin, the third boy next to him.
He himself led two thousand brothers from the old camp to kill towards the east gate of Gaoyou. He was still full of confidence at this time. The failure of the two thousand refugees seemed to him normal and did not mean anything. Besides, he had brought a big killing machine with him.
Weapons - five Frankie cannons. Although these cannons are not big, Lai Shancheng feels that those local gangsters will immediately feel weak when they hear the sound of the cannons.
"Report, the water bandit army is still four kilometers away from us." Cai Shusen came in at this time and reported. Dong Shuheng was still accompanying two doctors to help the wounded, and all three of them had two knives. There was a burst of noise in the injury shed.
There was a scream like a slaughtered pig. The stitched wounds were also ugly.
"Let's go over and have a look."
"According to the scout report, there are five cannons behind the opponent's team." Cai Shusen added.
"Oh..." Dong Shuheng frowned. He knew that long-range firepower was his shortcoming. Although he was not worried about failure, he did not want to suffer any losses to his team.
When they arrived at the front line, Liu Qingnan had already made preparations for the war, and the regiment members replenished their ammunition.
"Qingnan sent out surprise troops to consume the enemy with skirmishing lines." Although he knew that the enemy's artillery was probably an antique, there was no need for Dong Shuheng to take risks. His advantage was that the range was far beyond that of the enemy's rifles. Since he had the advantage, he should use it.
It's out.
Liu Qingnan immediately dispatched all the breech gunners from the training camp, as well as the soldiers with the best marksmanship from the second and third battalions. A total of nearly 500 people formed a forward surprise team, and used skirmishers in groups of three to attack the water bandits.
The team rushed over.
"Master, the regiment training on the opposite side sent more than 500 people to rush over." At this time, military advisor Xu Dexian reported.
"Oh, only five hundred people dare to attack our army. Since the other party is here to die, let's help them." Lai Shancheng said, "Set up my Frankie cannon!"
Just as he was talking, he could already see the opponent's team training, and saw that they were in a loose formation, in twos and threes, each one hunched over and running towards us quickly with a gun in his hand.
"It's true that they are a bunch of unattractive team players. Looking at this scattered formation, they can bully the refugees." Lai Shancheng said proudly.
"Order the brothers to press forward and crush these bastards."
Seeing that there were only 500 people in each other's group, the water bandits became more confident and rushed forward one by one with howls.
The distance between the two sides quickly closed to 400 meters, which was already the effective range of the rifle. The Huaihai regiment training officers stopped one after another, raised their guns, aimed and shot. They knelt on one knee, raised their guns with both hands, and the water bandits opposite them looked like one after another.
target.
With the sound of gunshots, people in the bandits' team kept falling down. The Huaihai regiment training team ran back after every shot, always keeping a distance from the water bandits.
"Do these cowards in colorful clothes only dare to hide in the distance and fire cold shots? They bully us and can't hit them, right? Let me blast them with cannons."
"Bang bang bang..." Five cannons rang out, and five iron balls flew towards the Huaihai regiment. Since the five hundred men were a loose skirmisher line, and the accuracy of this old artillery was not enough, the first round of shelling failed.
Hit. The members of the surprise team were slightly relieved. The sound of the cannon just now really made some timid members weak in the legs.
"Pah, pah, pah, pah..." The Qi soldiers were still fighting back with their guns. In a few minutes of fighting, the water bandits had lost four to five hundred people. Lai Shancheng's heart was bleeding.
"Quick, speed up and rush forward to fight them." Lai Shancheng raised the knife in his hand and rushed forward with a shout. The brothers around him couldn't help but speed up their pace as they watched their leader take the lead and rush forward.
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang" was another round of artillery. This time a skirmisher group was hit by a cannonball, and two regiment members were cut off by the cannonball on the spot.
The water bandits' morale was immediately boosted, and they attacked even faster.
Ding Li followed his skirmisher group and kept shooting according to the drill, retreating and shooting again. Every shot of the rifle in his hand could take the life of a water bandit.
Seeing a brother being knocked down by a cannonball, he was not afraid. Instead, he hated the water bandits on the opposite side even more. At this time, he saw a burly man in the water bandits' team who must be the leader, because he kept raising his knife to the people next to him.
The water bandits cheered.
At this time, the man was about five hundred meters away from him. He had never tried shooting from such a long distance, but he still pointed his gun at him.
"Blessed by gods and Buddhas, we must hit it." He muttered silently in his heart.
"Snapped"
Lai Shancheng felt like he had hit a huge boulder. His body stagnated and he felt dizzy.
"The boss is injured." Someone shouted.
This sentence extinguished the bravery in the hearts of the water bandits. At this time, one of the three water bandits had been reduced, and they were already on the verge of collapse. The reason why they persisted was entirely due to Lai Shancheng's personal prestige. Lai Shancheng fell and became
This was the last straw that broke the camel's back. The bandits' team immediately collapsed. Lai Shancheng's soldiers also carried Lai Shancheng who fell to the ground and ran back.
The team of surprise soldiers who had been retreating just now were chasing after them, constantly using their guns to kill the water bandits.
