() Wu Zhaoxuan returned to Cai Yifan with a bit of embarrassment. He sighed and said in front of everyone: "Withdraw the commander-in-chief. We have no chance of winning. The thieves are capable of both long-range and close combat. They are extremely powerful. We don't have three times the strength. It is not appropriate to confront them head-on."
.”
Cai Yifan's face darkened when he heard this, and all the generals looked at each other in confusion.
Previously, the leader of the local soldiers was afraid of the thieves' power and proposed to retreat. Wu Zhaofu opposed it and advocated a battle. However, after competing with the thieves for a while, he completely changed his mind.
The word elite means that they are strong in both long-distance and close combat. They have no shortcomings, no flaws, and no weaknesses. This is the novel chapter of a team that all generals dream of.
Even though he knew that retreating would be pursued by the bandits and the whole army would be defeated, Wu Zhaofu still insisted on retreating. Although it would be difficult for most of the country soldiers to survive the retreat at this time, as long as he acted quickly, he could save nearly a thousand officers and soldiers, and insisted on fighting with the bandits.
In a battle, with the three thousand men and horses on our side who are all good and bad, they will only end up being wiped out. Wu Zhaofu knew clearly what to choose.
Wu Zhaoxuan was a veteran general in southern Fujian. He all said to retreat, and several local soldier leaders echoed from the side. Everyone in the generals' hearts were in a state of confusion. He looked around with tiger eyes and shouted: "We can't retreat! The food, wages, clothing and equipment we have received are like this."
All of these are the sacrifices of the people. Now that thieves are invading in large numbers, we should be brave enough to kill the thieves, report to the country, and bring peace to the people. Is there any reason to retreat?"
b Ignoring Wu Zhaofu's words, he turned around and clasped his fists at Cai Yifan and said: "General, I am willing to lead the troops to fight against the thieves."
Cai Yifan's worries were swept away, and Ma Chang smiled and said: "Brilliant, Sentinel Cai. I have made up my mind. I will fight to the death with the thieves. If anyone dares to retreat, he will be dealt with according to the military law. The thieves are indeed different from ordinary bandits. I will personally
Go and experience how powerful they are. Officer Cai immediately clasped his fists.
"You take two hundred men from my post, and I will give you another eight hundred to make up for one thousand. When I start fighting with the thief, you can look for an opportunity to attack his flank."
"As commanded."
Cai Yifan glanced at Wu Zhaofu and asked, "Wu Sentinel still dares to fight?"
Wu Zhaoxuan sighed secretly. He had made his words clear, but Cai Yifan still refused to listen. He had no choice but to risk his life and fight. "I am willing to kill the thief at will."
"Okay." Cai Yifan laughed.
The battlefield chosen by Zhao Hongyi was very clever. A small stream slowly flowed from behind the military formation and turned south, becoming a natural barrier for the rear army and the right wing. Cai Yifan had little room for choice, so he decided to lead two thousand troops to attack from the front.
To attack, Cai Chun led a thousand men to look for an opportunity to attack the enemy's left flank.
William used his binoculars to observe the movements of the officers and soldiers, and said to Huang Chen: "Baas, I take back what I just said."
"What?" Huang Chen was confused.
William said slowly: "The opponent is not as unbearable as I described. Even though he is aware of the huge gap between the two sides, he still dares to fight. But I don't know how to describe their behavior, courage? Stubbornness? Stupidity?"
"The two words after you are not good words."
William shrugged and said: "Because my opponent's behavior is very confusing to me. I just want to express my true thoughts." He said, "William, it seems that you are about to have a battle with the opponent." Because there is no need.
Worried about the safety of the rear army and the right wing, Huang Chen spared no effort to strengthen the left wing. Not only did he have a small artillery team composed of four red barbarian cannons, several bronze-haired cannons, and Franchise machines, but he also arranged for William and his two companies to
The left wing showed traces of movement to the flank and said: "To be honest, baas. My mood is very complicated now. I hope they can meet the standards of becoming my opponent, but the fact is that they are just a bunch of rabble. There is no way to defeat such an opponent."
I feel happy."
Huang Chen frowned slightly and couldn't help but remind him: "William, don't forget that your men have only trained for five weeks. Although they have a lot of combat experience, they are still recruits. Don't underestimate the enemy.
Otherwise you will suffer a big loss."
William said: "Don't worry, baas, no matter what I think in my heart, I pay 100% attention to my enemy during the battle. What's more, the main force in the real battle is Zhang Xing, isn't it? My troops are too small, baas, you should
Implement your idea as soon as possible, I need a battalion (regiment) of troops to be effective."
Huang Chen nodded and said, "I will prepare new soldiers for you as soon as possible. Now, it's time for you to leave."
William bowed slightly to Huang Chen and headed to the team on the left.
"put!"
Following the order, the flags flew, and the field artillery and Hongyi artillery in Huangchen's artillery team once again let out a terrible roar. Huge lead bullets flew through the air, some of which directly hit the crowd of officers and soldiers, and some of which fell.
It flicked to the feet, and some flew over the head.
Cai Yifan did not dare to show off his strength, and pressed his chest tightly against the horse's back, urging his troops to speed up.
Field artillery, red barbarian artillery, copper-fired guns, and Franchise aircraft took turns to show off their power. The formation of the officers and soldiers was not very rigorous. Almost every artillery shell that landed in the crowd would cause a large-scale commotion. The scene could only use a chaotic scene.
words to describe.
Zhao Hongyi put down his telescope and shook his head. There was a ragtag group of people. This time he transferred 120 musketeers from the Four Banners and Twelve Teams from the rear army. Together with the two formations of fire muskets in front, a total of 360 musketeers were deployed in the formation.
Line up in three rows in front.
After Huang Chen came to Fujian, he almost developed by leaps and bounds. He had more and more troops under his command. From the sea to the land, the Fujian people were the absolute main force in all aspects. However, there was only one exception. The land camp firearms troops were still based on Dachenshan
Mainly the old Zhejiang brothers. Perhaps like William said, due to improper training techniques, they will soon be surpassed by the musketeers he trained. However, it is not enough for a musketeer to have skills, he also needs to have courage sometimes.
, courage is more important than technology.
Facing the densely packed officers and soldiers rushing towards them, the faces of the gunmen, who were mainly from Zhejiang, did not change. Some of them looked at the enemy with amusement on their faces, just like a butcher looking at a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
"Raise the gun!"
The flag was raised, followed by a row of black muzzles.
"put!"
The flag fell, and hundreds of guns fired in an instant. The officers and soldiers saw a dazzling fire flashing in front of them, a cloud of white smoke rising, and then flowers of blood bloomed from the chests of countless people in the front row, like cut rice.
They usually fall to the ground one after another.
In European segmented firing, after the front row of musketeers completes shooting, they will go around to the back to prepare again. The Chinese method is completely opposite. The first row of musketeers will stay where they are after firing, lowering their heads to reload ammunition, and the second row of musketeers will fire.
The musketry soldiers entered behind the front row, pulled the trigger, and there was another burst of noise like fried beans, knocking each officer and soldier to the ground, or turning into a cold corpse, or rolling on the ground and howling miserably. The second row of muskets
After firing, the gun still stood still. The third row walked behind the second row and pulled the trigger...
Soon after the three rounds of firing, the first row of gunmen was ready, raised their guns and fired again, the second row, the third row...
Seeing dozens of his soldiers killed or wounded in an instant, Cai Yifan felt goosebumps all over his body. Although he had seen the tyranny of the opponent's firearms from behind just now, he had no intuitive feeling. Only now that he was "immersed in the scene" could he understand the real power.
.No wonder veteran Wu Zhaoxuan was frightened by his opponent in the first battle. Anyone would feel powerless against such an enemy.
Zhao Hongyi waved the flag, and the spearmen once again stood at the forefront. Firearms are powerful, but the one that can defeat the enemy is always the spear. This is the idea that Zhao Hongyi has always instilled in the spearmen. It cultivates their arrogance and is more powerful than the firearms soldiers.
Arrogant.
"kill!"
One team of ten people, one flag of thirty people, and two formations of six flags of 360 people thrust their spears straight forward, piercing through the bodies of the enemies and emitting streams of poignant blood mist.
"kill!"
Under the leadership of each captain, the gunmen once again straightened their guns and stabbed them, almost missing the target. However, unlike the last time, the officers and soldiers did not break down and run away this time.
With huge casualties, they rushed into the gun formation, and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the gunmen. The sound of swords and guns piercing bones, the sound of metal and iron, and Jilie's shouts of killing were all heard together.
This incident was expected by Huang Chen and Zhao Hongyi. If the officers and soldiers couldn't even shake the first level of the gun array, why bother setting up an array and just rush in and kill them.
The frontal battlefield is a massacre, and the flanks are about to enter the fighting stage.
Chen Hui followed the team closely with two hundred rural soldiers, fighting in front of the forest, causing him to break out in sweat. Chen Hui was not tall or strong, and he was very ordinary. His face was delicate and fair, his eyes were like paint, and he was full of energy.
He is a native of Haicheng County and currently serves as the leader of the Liudu Township soldiers. Like Lin Xishan, he is also surprisingly young, only twenty-three years old. However, he is completely opposite to Lin Xishan. Lin Xishan comes from a wealthy family and is extremely brave.
He comes from an ordinary family, not to mention that he has no strength to tie a chicken, but two or three strong men are enough to kill him. He has just become the leader of the rural soldiers, and the reason why he sits in this position is not due to personal bravery, but to
He has an extraordinary mind and has repeatedly offered suggestions and advice to the former leader of the local soldiers in the past, killing many pirates and bandits.
To put it simply, Chen Hui is a strategic talent. Although he has seen it with his own eyes and participated in battles before, compared with the current confrontation between the two armies, it is completely trivial and insignificant.
"Bang bang bang bang..."
The artillery on the opposite side let out a roar. As he was running, Chen Hui's pupils shrank suddenly. He saw with his own eyes that a hot fireball hit the head of the men who were talking and laughing with him just a few steps away.
He was too fast to react and punched through the chest of one of his men, rolling backwards.
Chen Hui's heart was beating violently at a speed that was almost unbearable, and his mind went blank. (To be continued...)
