After this thrilling experience, the villagers also found that it was too unsafe to stay in the wild, and it would be better to arrive at Mulingguan earlier. Therefore, no one complained and hurried on their way consciously. The group of people walked for another three days.
After more than an hour, he actually walked more than ten miles in one breath. By now it was getting late, and he had already arrived at the place where the vanguard camped for cooking. So Shang Yi ordered that the troops rest here and continue tomorrow.
On the way.
After the large group of people settled down, Shang Yi calculated that they had walked almost twenty-five or six miles today, which greatly exceeded his expectation yesterday. Now there is only fifteen or sixteen miles left from Muling Pass. If tomorrow
Hurry up early in the morning, eat some solid food at noon and be patient. By two or three o'clock in the afternoon, you should be able to reach Muling Pass. So Shang Yi sent people to Muling Pass overnight to let those who stayed behind at Muling Pass pass.
Tang Town will send troops to respond on the road tomorrow.
From Yang Wucheng's point of view, it was a different feeling. A group of them also followed the team for more than three hours this afternoon. Observing from left to right, they found that although the entire team was not walking fast, it was in order and in front and behind.
There were people taking care of them on both sides. Although it was noisy, it was not chaotic at all. The team of more than 4,000 people was also mixed with more than 100 large and small cars, but it was more orderly and orderly than the two or three hundred regiment soldiers I led.
Much more.
Although Yang Wucheng is not good at leading troops, he can still see that this is what a real army looks like. The ones he led in the past were really a ragtag group. In the afternoon, he first said that he would follow Shang Yi, but there was still more.
I have some impulsive feelings of repaying my gratitude, but now I feel that it is not a bad thing if I really follow Shang Yi from now on.
At this time, the food was served, and Shang Yi also invited Yang Wucheng to sit and eat together. Yang Wucheng was a little reluctant to let go at first, but Zhou Shaohuan, Tong Dayong, and Cheng Jin who were sitting together were all young people, and they were easy to get along with.
, and after a while, most of the barriers were reduced.
Only then did Shang Yi ask about Yang Wucheng's marksmanship. Yang Wucheng was a real person and did not hide anything. He told all about his master's background. It turned out that his marksmanship was still from his ancestors, the Yang family spear of the Song Dynasty.
Shang Yi couldn't help but be in awe after hearing this. He knew that the Yang family gun in the Song Dynasty was not the Yang family general mentioned in the commentary, but was created by Yang Miaozhen, the sister of Yang An'er, the leader of the "Red Coat Army" during the Southern Song Dynasty.
The Pear Blossom Spear was known as the invincible weapon at that time.
He Liangchen, a military strategist in the mid-Ming Dynasty, once said in "Jiu Ji": "The Ma family's spear, the Sha family's pole, and the Li family's short spear all have their own advantages... and the only one who is invincible in the world is the Yang family's pear gun technique." And Qi Jiguang.
In the "New Book of Ji Xiao? A General Theory of the Spear", it is also commented: "The art of the spear originated from the Yang family, which is called pear blossom.
Yang Miaozhen was originally from Yidu, Shandong. In his early years, he followed his brother Yang An'er to rebel against the Jin Dynasty. Later, he married Li Quan. After Yang An'er died, Yang Miaozhen returned to the Southern Song Dynasty with Li Quan. Later, he was no longer tolerated by the Southern Song Dynasty court. After Li Quan died in battle, Yang Miaozhen
In his later years, he returned to Shandong and settled down. Therefore, the pear flower gun has been handed down in Shandong area.
Yang Wucheng is a descendant of this Yang family, and what he learned is the ancestral Yang Pear Blossom Spear. At that time, Yang Miaozhen traveled across Shandong and fought against the Jin army. It was always a confrontation between two armies. Therefore, the Pear Blossom Spear has unique features whether it is used on horseback or down.
Department. And Yang Wucheng also taught some of his regiment soldiers, so Jiwushan's regiment soldiers are not weak in terms of individual ability.
The night passed like this. Early the next morning, the large group of people went on the road again. After walking for less than an hour, they met the people sent by Mulingguan to take over. They were Zhao Yingjie, Feng Feng's fifth team, and the third team.
The sixth team and the other half of the cavalry team totaled more than 300 people.
After the two sides met, they were naturally very happy. Seeing this, Shang Yi also decided to hand over the large group of troops to the command of Zhao Yingjie, Feng Feng and others, and continued to advance towards Muling Pass. He led the first team, the third team, the musketeers and half of them.
The seventh team and the cavalry team, as well as twenty soldiers from the reconnaissance team, went to rescue Jiwu Village. At the same time, they also brought three Franconian cannons obtained from Yanzhou.
The troops dispatched from Muling Pass, plus Yang Wucheng's seventeen men, totaled only more than 650 people. The number of bandits who captured Jiwu Village was at least 2,000, so Yang Wucheng couldn't help but feel a little cautious about such a small number of men.
Is it enough? But it’s good if Shang Yi can send troops, but now he still dares to pick and choose. I can only pray in my heart, hoping that Shang Yi’s prestige is truly worthy of his name.
After dividing the troops, Shang Yi's troops marched eastward. At about noon, they arrived near Jiwu Village. At this time, the five spies sent out yesterday also joined the group and reported to Shang Yi what they had learned.
It turned out that they captured two lone bandits last night and got a lot of reliable information from them. At the same time, they gathered together more than ten regiments who had been defeated and fled.
The one who attacked Jiwu Village was indeed Tongshan Harrier, the leader of Baihushan Lao Miaozi's subordinates. There were a total of 2,400 to 500 bandits. They robbed several nearby villages and stored the stolen food and property in Jiwu Village.
In the housing estate. Now most of the villagers in the village have been caught, but they were temporarily detained. They were not killed, but were working for the bandits.
After the bandits defeated by Muling Army yesterday fled back to the village, it also caused a lot of panic among the bandits, because now the reputation of Shang Yi and Muling Army is indeed very loud in Qingzhou Prefecture.
They were bandits, and they were indeed a little frightened by the news. Therefore, the bandits in the village were hesitant. They wanted to retreat but were reluctant to part with what they had robbed. They continued to stay, fearing that the Muling Army would attack.
After listening to their talk, Yang Wucheng and others were relieved to know that most of the villagers had not been killed. The scouts also drew a simple map of Jiwu Village, which also made Shang Yi very happy.
Satisfied, this is what a scout looks like. Then Shang Yi immediately ordered the entire army to form a team and march towards Jiwu Village.
After a while, the army arrived in front of Jiwu Village and formed a formation. The bandits in the village also knew that Mu Ling's army was really coming, and they were all frightened. Especially since they were with Mu Ling yesterday.
The bandits who had fought with the army were frightened and immediately shouted to retreat.
But Tongshan Harrier is a big bandit after all, and he has seen some things in the world. He first stopped his subordinates' panic. When he came to the village wall and looked outside, he found that there were only five or six hundred Mu Ling troops. He couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
. Pointing to the outside of the village wall, he cursed the bandits who advocated escaping and said: "There are only so few people. What's there to be afraid of? You are still the leader. You are not as good as an old woman. Come out with me and give them a certain color."
Take a look and let them know how powerful our heroes from Baihu Mountain are."
Although some bandits were unwilling, they did not dare to disobey the Tongshan Harriers, and the troops of the Muling Army outside the village were indeed not from the countryside. Therefore, the bandits attacked the village gate and followed the Tongshan Harriers out like a swarm.
A village. But how big can a village gate be? It took a long time for 2,400 to 500 people to squeeze out of a village gate, pushing and shoving. Finally, they all left the village and gathered outside the village.
Their number was originally four or five times that of the Muling Army, but now they were spread out, so the contrast between the two sides was even greater. The soldiers of the Muling Army had seen a large battle, so it was nothing. Only the twenty
Many Jiwu Village regiment soldiers turned pale with fright, and even Yang Wucheng looked a little uncomfortable. But now that he is not afraid of others coming to rescue his village, he can no longer pretend to be shy, so he can only grit his teeth and endure.
With.
At this time, the Muling Army had already set up the Fran machine gun, but it was hidden behind the large group of troops to prevent the bandits from seeing it. When Shang Yi saw that the bandits had all left the village, he also took out his GPS and scanned it first.
The number of bandits and the distance between the two sides were tested again. It was about 200 meters, or more than 130 steps. Shang Yi turned to Luo Yuanbin and asked: "How far can a shotgun hit?"
Luo Yuanbin said: "Report to your lord, one hundred to one hundred and twenty steps."
Shang Yi nodded and said: "Okay, wait for the bandits to attack us, and then attack them with shotguns."
Luo Yuanbin agreed and immediately ordered the gunners to start loading ammunition. At the same time, the bandits also advanced towards the Muling Army under the command of Tongshan Harrier. At this moment, the soldiers of the Muling Army moved to the left and right.
, three Franco cannons were exposed in the middle.
The bandits still didn't understand what was going on. They just heard "Boom - Boom - Boom -" three tongues of flame spitting out from the muzzle, and three earth-shaking roars sounded almost at the same time, shaking the whole earth.
tremble.
In the bandit formation, a large piece of Yi Jing fell down. Shotguns are explosives that contain a large number of steel ball iron pieces. Although their penetrating power is not as good as that of solid bullets, their strike range is much larger than that of solid bullets. Although now
It's not the best shooting distance for shotguns, but the damage caused to the bandits is also impressive. At least more than a hundred people were killed, and more than fifty others were more or less injured. For a while, the screams and wails became louder.
A lot of people started to retreat.
Tongshan Harrier heard from the defeated soldiers that the Muling Army had firecrackers, so he deliberately hid in the team and did not rush to the front. He did not expect that the Muling Army also came with artillery, and he couldn't help but be frightened.
Cold sweat. But he also had some knowledge. He knew that although the artillery was powerful, its reloading speed was very slow, and the time between two launches was very long. Therefore, he immediately ordered the bandits not to retreat and immediately rushed to the front of the Muling Army.
Before the second artillery fire, attack quickly and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Muling Army. You can defeat the Muling Army by making use of your superior numbers.
But at this time, the Yi Jing bandits entered the attack range of the longbows and muskets of the Muling army. This time Shang Yi brought a total of 140 longbowmen, so the arrows fired were much denser than yesterday.
There were many, and the muskets were also firing at this time. The roar of bows and arrows piercing the air and the roar of muskets alternated, and the bandits were beaten until they screamed and fell to the ground one after another.
Although the bandits were forced by Tongshan Harrier, they still rushed forward one after another. However, under the powerful blow of the Muling Army, they were unable to rush to the front of the Muling Army in a short time.
