There was no extra time for Fang Rui to think, so the Black Khan cavalry began to sprint faster. The other party was also quite conceited, thinking that 500 cavalrymen would be able to capture the caravan in front of them in one fell swoop.
"Crossbowmen prepare!"
As Fang Rui's words spread in the military formation, He Fengyuan led his men to pick up the ratchet crossbows. They had already cocked the ratchet crossbows, and now they panicked and wanted to shoot the crossbow arrows in their hands immediately, but they could not hear Fang Rui's words.
Rui's "shoot an arrow" sound!
"The musketeers aim and shoot at random. If you can kill one more, it will be one!"
Unexpectedly, Fang Rui was the first to let the musketeers shoot. As his words fell, musketeers continued to fire, and after each gunshot, one could see a torch raised high on the opposite side fall to the ground.
At this time, no one dared to shout excitedly. In the darkness, there was only the sound of musketeers constantly loading powder and cleaning barrels.
Firearms with paper-shell gunpowder cartridges are convenient, but after every five or six shots, the paper shells in the barrel that have not been fully burned need to be cleaned. Fortunately, the bullets used in Hexi are already paper-shell fixed-loading ammunition, and you only need to use the paper shells every time.
Just put the paper shell and the bullet into the gun.
As a sound like fried beans rang out, the Black Khan cavalry on the opposite side fell from their horses to the ground from time to time. Some of them were not hit at all, but the huge impact and pain caused them to be trampled by the hooves of galloping horses immediately after falling.
mud.
When He Fengyuan could vaguely see the cavalry under the torch, Fang Ruicai shouted: "Fire the arrows! The whole army fires the arrows!"
Following his words, the man who could no longer bear it, Xiao Si immediately pressed down the machine gun in his hand, and the crossbow bolt flew out with a burst of breaking sound, but this sound was a death spell to the Black Khan cavalry.
The soldiers who had no time to raise their shields were immediately killed by arrows shot in the dark. One moment they were terrified by the power of firearms, and the next moment they were greeted by deadly crossbow arrows.
The horse traps and tripping ropes worked, and a part of the Black Khan cavalry fell in front of the military formation, triggering a chain reaction. Fang Rui took the opportunity to order the crossbow archers to cock their bows and fire again for the next round of harvesting.
The sound of musketry continued, and every gunshot could cause the Black Khan Cavalry on the opposite side to lose a combat strength, but the number of the other side was too many.
The horse stumbling ropes and horse traps were quickly penetrated by the opponent, and the cavalry behind them also began to attack, and slowed down to dismantle the long wooden horse-repelling spears. Not only that, it may be that the previous losses angered the opponent's commander, who continued to
Some cavalry joined in the frontal charge.
Black Khan's cavalry has approached the front, and the mercenaries and Lifu have already engaged the enemy. Some Lifu don't know how to penetrate at all. Fortunately, there are mercenaries on the side to demonstrate in person. The spear only needs to find the gap in the opponent, even if it is blocked by the shield.
Clamp, just thrust upward with the spear in your hand, and you will have a chance to stab the enemy.
All the mercenaries are saying one thing to their companions: "Don't leave the military formation, hold on, hold on!"
The military formation was not broken up by the Black Khan cavalry. Even though the number of people began to decrease, and even though people who had known each other along the way fell into a pool of blood, the military formation still managed to hold on.
At this time, there were no mercenaries, Li Fu, guys, Xiao Si, or bosses in the caravan. There were just Hexi people who shared the same hatred.
What Fang Rui is most worried about is hand-to-hand combat. There are too few of them. Even if they have excellent armor and sharp weapons, hand-to-hand combat will eventually result in heavy casualties. There is no way. There are only so many people. Even if they rely on box trucks to fight, it will be inevitable.
Being surrounded and beaten by enemies.
The spear pierced the enemy's armor, and the enemy's scimitar also cut off the lock on the shoulder, and then another scimitar slashed on the half-off armor.
Fang Rui looked at Pao Ze who died in front of him one by one. He felt so uncomfortable that he couldn't make a sound. He could only keep waving the spear in his hand and try his best to kill every enemy in front of him.
He Fengyuan saw with his own eyes that his man who had been with him for many years was hit in the thigh by an enemy arrow and was wailing on the ground, but all he could do was to continue shooting out the crossbow arrows in his hand...
A caravan of more than a hundred people resisted the impact of more than a thousand cavalry. This can no longer be described as a disparity in combat power. The pressure from ten times the enemy was unprecedented. Under such circumstances, the military formation could still maintain a visible shape to the naked eye.
It looks like a miracle.
Everyone was fighting. He Fengyuan didn't know how many enemies he had shot and killed as they rushed into the military formation, but he found that he had no injuries at all, but the blood flowing from the corners of his mouth told him that he had been seriously injured.
Just now he was hit on the breastplate by a flail. After a period of chest tightness, he felt that nothing had happened and continued to string the crossbow. Fang Rui beside him was already red-eyed, swinging a spear like a dragon, always able to help.
He relieves the pressure around him.
"Hold on! Stabilize the military formation!"
"Anyone who can breathe will shoot for me!"
The wounded soldiers on the ground were wailing in pain while stirring the ratchet. Some of them tried to pick up Paoze's body, but were kicked away by the mercenaries. Where could they have time to take care of these dead people at this time?!
Human strength is limited. As the number of enemy troops increases, the military formation has shrunk to the last circle of defensive zones composed of box trucks, relying on wide box trucks to launch counterattacks against the enemy.
At this time, Fang Rui had already left, standing in the military formation with a spear in his hand. He knew that as long as this layer of box trucks was breached, everything would be settled, and he did not expect reinforcements to appear at all.
Looking at He Fengyuan next to him, Fang Rui grinned and let out a sour smile: "Brother, we are afraid we are going to die here."
Unexpectedly, He Fengyuan, a former merchant, was not afraid of death. While blood was flowing from his mouth, he smiled and said: "Haha, I have been living for most of my life, what does death mean? My son is also successful. If I die in battle, I can still bring something to my family.
Good reputation, hey, after my son can be considered a hero in the future, my mother's life will not be in vain! When the time comes, when I go and meet my ancestors underground, they will definitely praise me as a good man of the He family!"
Fang Rui looked around and saw that the remaining mercenaries were still resisting with the caravan members. He couldn't help shouting: "They are all my good men from Hexi! Kill them!"
"kill!"
This was a counterattack in a flashback. Whether standing or lying down, the Hexi people roared unyieldingly: "Kill!"
As if God was responding to their shouts, the Black Khan's military formation suddenly blew a rapid horn sound, and all the Black Khan cavalry who were still attacking immediately stopped in formation, and then ran back desperately.
The caravan was stunned at this scene, and He Fengyuan asked strangely: "Are these black-skinned brats afraid that others will scold their parents?"
"Shit! If it were useful to curse, these black-sweat bastards would have died countless times! Uh! Hua Huo! It's Hua Huo from the cavalry battalion! The cavalry battalion...the cavalry battalion? Commander Di is here! My mother! It's Commander Di who is here!"
As a red signal exploded in the air, Fang Rui was as excited as a rabbit. He immediately jumped up from his original state of weakness and shouted at everyone: "Shuai Di is here! Brothers from the cavalry battalion.
Here we come! Load your muskets and cock your crossbows, let me kill you!"
"Shuai Di is here?!"
Following Fang Rui's words, everyone looked up and looked at the dazzling green fireworks exploding in the air, and He Fengyuan couldn't help but murmured: "I'm afraid I will never see a medicine more beautiful than this in my life."
