()(The pirates left seventy or eighty corpses behind, exited the battlefield on the top of the mountain, and returned to the mountainside. In this attack on the mountain, Huang Chen had the largest number of troops and the greatest effort. He sent a total of 600 spears, knives, firecrackers and 200 soil
Barbarian archer Li Kuiqi ranked second, sending 400 men and horses. Zhong Bin ranked third, sending 200 men and horses. None of the other forces had a hundred men, ranging from 20 to 30 to 50 to 60, with a total of less than two
Qian. A tentative attack resulted in the death of more than seventy people, and many were injured. The casualties were close to a proportion. It can be imagined that all the thieves had sad faces, as if they were dead.
Zhuang Mo was sitting cross-legged with his back against a big tree. During the melee just now, he was accidentally stabbed on his left arm. While receiving emergency treatment from the doctor, he grinned and said: "Not only are Hong Xianchun's men and horses at the top of the mountain, but also
There are many local soldiers and warriors, about two thousand in number."
After listening to Zhuang Mo's words, several military leaders here fell silent. Ye Wuzhen turned her head and looked at the top of the mountain where the officers and soldiers were waiting, her eyes filled with gloom. We were outnumbered by the officers and soldiers, and we were attacking and defending, so the prospect was really unfavorable.
optimism.
At this time, Zhong Gui could no longer place his name on Maitreya Buddha, and said solemnly: "We don't have enough troops, should we ask for help from the foot of the mountain?"
"No." Ye Wozhen categorically objected. He was the person in charge of attacking the mountain, and he asked for help from the mountain after just one round of fighting with the officers and soldiers. What would Li Kuiqi think of him? What would the leaders think of him? Ye Wozhen lost
I can't afford this person.
Zhang Xing and Lin Xishan are also unwilling. They haven't played yet, so they have to fight first before talking about anything else.
Seeing that no one supported him, Zhong Gui laughed dryly and said: "Since you don't want to be underestimated, let's fight again."
Ye Wozhen gritted her teeth and said: "This time I will personally lead the team, and I also ask all the brothers to give me their fullest help."
"Of course."
Huang Chen removed the monocular telescope with a hint of surprise on his face, wondering why his party had ceased operations so quickly.
Li Kuiqi and Zhong Bin each also held telescopes. However, the telescopes did not belong to them. Huang Chen temporarily lent them to them. He had previously seized one from Lin Balao and obtained four more from the "Houston"
, and bought five more from the Spaniards in the Chicken Coop, for a total of ten. Each of the leaders of the six brigades plus Yang Dong and Huang Chen were rewarded with one. I still have three left.
In the past, he used Lin Balao's binoculars to see through Lin Qilao's interception and killing of Yimu Lao and Hu Erlao's actions, thereby escaping the disaster. It was not until he arrived in Taiwan that he realized how lucky he was. The vast Fujian Sea was full of thieves, except for
Zheng Zhilong didn't see anyone with a telescope. Here he had to admire Lin Ba Lao, or Lin Qi Lao, for his sharper vision than Li Kuiqi, Zhong Bin and others. What Huang Chen didn't know was that Li Junji had suggested to Lin Qi
I always buy barbarian utensils and spend all my time doing so.
Li Kuiqi played with the copper telescope in his hand, temporarily forgetting the matter on the top of the mountain, and said to Huang Chen: "I had known that the Xiyi telescope was extremely magical. It is called a telescope and has the effect of shrinking the earth into an inch. Unfortunately, I have never been able to get it."
I see that Brother Huang has quite a lot of money, how about giving me one? Brother Huang will just ask for the price. Brother will never bargain."
Without waiting for Huang Chen to respond, Zhong Bin followed up and said: "And me. Brother Huang. With our friendship, you can't forget me."
The telescope is extremely useful and is a scarce thing. Huang Chen is only worried about having too little and not having too many problems. He is not willing to sell it to the two of them, and he is not short of money. He has a look of confusion on his face: "It's not just brotherly pretentiousness, but it's true that I don't want to sell it to you two to save face."
It's not fair. I only have three telescopes left in my hand, but there are a bunch of bastards under there that are clamoring around me all day long, begging for them. If I give them to you, I won't be able to keep my back ears clean."
Li Kuiqi frowned and said, "Is there really no need to discuss this matter?"
Huang Chen shook his head slowly but resolutely, and then said: "Leader Zheng has more people there than me. Why don't you give Chief Li a try?"
"Forget it." Li Kuiqi said calmly. He didn't know whether he was talking about Huang Chen or Zheng Zhilong.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward. Fortunately, there was movement from the mountain soon, which brought their attention back to the battlefield.
The pirates quickly launched a second round of attack to the top of the mountain. This time it was no longer a "test". Ye Wozhen, Zhang Xing, Lin Xishan, Zhong Gui and others led all elites to join the battle. For a time, the shouts of killing were overwhelming from the top of Niu Mian Mountain, and they rushed straight to the top of the mountain.
Yunxiao.
The pirate coalition forces belong to different forces and are dressed in various colors. In order to distinguish ourselves from the enemy, the pirates' left arms are all wrapped in black cloth. Under the leadership of their respective leaders, they launch a fierce offensive against the officers and soldiers' positions.
The officers and men's French cannons kept roaring, three-eyed, and the cannons also roared. Countless pirates fell on the charging road. Their bloody and scarred bodies became stepping stones for their companions behind them. For a moment, they were helpless.
The dead will be trampled until they are breathless. The fresh air in Niumian Mountain has become extremely turbid, filled with the strong smell of blood and the pungent smell of gunpowder.
The pirates survived the hail of bullets and rushed into the position to fight with the officers and soldiers. The number of officers and soldiers was slightly larger than that of the pirates. The weapons and equipment of both sides were evenly matched. Their morale and fighting spirit were not as good as those of the pirates. However, because they were on the defensive, they still had the upper hand.
For Huang Chen's team, the spear team that entered the battle for the first time became the main force of the attack. The team was led by Lin Xishan. He used to be the captain of the village soldiers in his hometown Lieyu. He led the villagers to repel the invading pirates several times, including Huang Chen's.
With men and horses, he is extremely capable of leading troops in combat.
Arriving at the battlefield covered by layers of regimental cards, Lin Xishan commanded the spearmen to gather forward. There were also many long soldiers. Some of the spears were more than two feet long, twice as long as the spears in the hands of Lin Xishan's spearmen, but their array was not as good as Lin Xishan's.
The spear team was rigorous, with different spear lengths, some came first and some came last, some were fast and some were slow, but Lin Xishan's spearmen stood shoulder to shoulder and stabbed forward uniformly according to the command. The two sides fought against each other, and Huang Chen's spearmen fell only five or six times.
However, almost all of the dozens of officers and soldiers in the front row fell down. Some were stabbed through the face, some through the throat, and some through the heart. The guns were all in vital parts.
Looking at the wall of pirates on the opposite side and the forest of guns, and at the terrifying bloody skeletons on the bodies of his colleagues on the ground, the officers and soldiers behind him, and the local brave swallowed their saliva repeatedly, but Shangguan pressed hard and had to shout slogans to embolden him.
, swarming towards the enemy with a spear in hand.
"Kill!" Lin Xishan shouted coldly.
"Poof!" "Poof!" "Poof!" "Poof!" There was a series of muffled sounds as sharp weapons pierced the muscles and hit the bones. More than a dozen officers and soldiers Xiang Yong fell to the ground again. Due to some fear and escape in their hearts,
Their results were not even as good as those before them.
The officers and soldiers at the back couldn't help being frightened when they saw this, and they reluctantly followed the orders of their superiors. However, they were so frightened that they only had a slight contact with Lin Xishan's gun team and were stabbed to pieces. They all wished their parents had two more legs and swarmed back.
flee.
Lin Xishan did not pursue these defeated soldiers. He directed the gun team to turn to the right and go straight to a slope. The enemies encountered along the way were no matter large or small, no matter whether they were long guns, short soldiers or firearms soldiers, or
Stabbed to death or dispersed, they were unstoppable. He noticed them immediately, stared at them blankly for a long time, and asked the people around him: "Are these sea pirates?" The doubt in his heart was obviously not this, so no one responded. He sighed again:
"You can't find many of these elite soldiers out of the tens of thousands of officers and soldiers in Fujian Province. If the pirates had only a thousand, no, eight hundred of these spears, we would not be able to escape defeat today."
Chen Wenxu, the general manager, suddenly raised his finger and said: "They are heading for that slope."
"..."
Lin Xishan led the gun team all the way up the slope and quickly killed all the officers and soldiers inside. The fire gun soldiers who had been surrounded by spears and swords in the center broke away from their protection and occupied various important places. They were organized into rows of ten people and several rows.
For a while, ammunition was loaded nervously and orderly. The barbarian archers under Zhuang Mo had already fired arrows continuously to clear away the surrounding enemies.
Zhang Xing looked down at the densely packed heads below, his eyes exuding a biting coldness, his scarlet tongue licked his dry and purple lips, he raised his right hand high, and then lowered it hard, "Let go!"
"Bang bang bang bang bang...!"
Gunshots rang out continuously, followed by horrific screams. Ten officers and soldiers and two unlucky pirates were shot and fell to the ground, leaving an area of several feet empty.
"Second row, let go!" Zhang Xing made no apology for the shot friendly troops and ordered again. Swords and swords have no eyes on the battlefield, and accidental injuries are "inevitable". If you are afraid of death, don't come.
Amidst the fire and smoke, lead bullets shot out, instantly mowing down nine officers and soldiers again, but this time no friendly troops were accidentally injured.
From an overall perspective, the situation of the pirates is not optimistic, but the hillside where Lin Xishan, Zhang Xing, and Zhuang Mo are entrenched is like a bright light, illuminating the entire battlefield. As long as they are still there, the pirates will still have the motivation to continue fighting. Obviously
Knowing this, he mobilized a large number of troops to try to retake the hillside position, including nearly a hundred armored soldiers. However, before the armored soldiers could engage in close combat with Lin Xishan's gun team, they were fired upon by Zhang Xinghuo's gunners, killing nearly half of them.
In order to give the officers and soldiers a surprise, Zhang Xing had previously hidden a lot of firecrackers. The result made him a little dissatisfied, but he didn't know that the enemy almost wet his pants.
The remaining armored soldiers then died one after another due to a duel with spears and a sneak attack from fire cannons. The armored soldiers were completely wiped out. The officers and soldiers immediately lost their breath, struggled to fight for a while, and then dispersed. Their faces turned pale with anger, knowing that their own side had the advantage.
, just because of that earth slope, we have never been able to win. The thieves are not just the ones in front of us, there are more at the bottom of the mountain, we must not delay for too long. Hong Xian was overjoyed, and at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. It seems that the officials and soldiers of Zhangzhou Prefecture
Not all people are short-sighted, and they know that if there is no skin left, there will be no hair. The long-awaited reinforcements came to the mountain, and their swords and soldiers immediately faced each other. The officers and soldiers were immediately trapped in the embarrassment of being attacked from both sides, and the situation took a turn for the worse. (To be continued...)
