Chapter 1116 stalemate (2)
Under Li Yan's advice, Li Guo quickly led three thousand bandits to Niutou Village. However, due to the forced army, the originally neat team was dragged into a long snake formation when he set out. He could follow Li Guo and felt that the only people in Niutou Village were the most elite bandits from the old camp.
Li Guo followed Li Zicheng for many years, and after Gao Yingxiang for more than half a year, he also gained a certain degree of military qualities. When he saw Hao Yaoqi being defeated by the Jiangning Army, he immediately led the bandits who arrived in the first stage to join the battlefield without hesitation.
It was precisely because of Li Guo's joining that the soon-to-be-collapse defense line was barely maintained. At this time, Cao Yingmao led the cavalry to rush into Niutou Village. Because the two sides were too close, and there were too many buildings and debris in the village, the cavalry could not exert their mobility, Cao Yingmao simply asked the cavalry to dismount and use the Brown Besie musket to welcome the enemy.
When the battle resumed to the point where both sides had set their positions and drums, they were competing for the individual quality of both sides and their respective weapons and equipment. The Jiangning Army could get rid of bandits in any aspect.
"Come quickly!"
"Everyone starts to line up and attack!"
The cavalry of the Jiangning Army not only had to practice cavalry and shooting skills, but also had to learn some of the skills of infantry. For example, the military formations they arranged were one of them. Although the military formations they arranged were a little less neat and did not execute the officer's orders so quickly, it also depends on whom they compared. Soon, the sergeants who had finished the formation began to hold the muskets and press forward firmly and slowly.
"Bang...bang bang..."
Amid a series of gunfire, a famous bandit was constantly shot dead. Even hiding in the house was useless. A ten thousand enemy was stuffed into it, which would be the end of the game even if the people and the house were finished.
In Niutou Village, many hungry thieves who were shot were rolling in pools of blood and howled at the top of their lungs. It was a terrible sight, and more places were in chaos. Even if the thief leader tried his best to suppress it, it would be useless.
The 1,000 people brought by Li Guo in the early stage lost more than 200 people in the five or six rounds of shooting that had just been cut off. In this close-range volleyball shooting, the hit rate was terrifyingly high.
Many young, strong and hungry people kept screaming, and many people were shaking their bodies in fear. No one expected that the Jiangning Army's firearms were so sharp and they fought so quickly. Now even the stupidest people knew that there was only a dead end to fight.
It is worth mentioning that although Li Yan strongly opposed it, Li Zicheng, Li Guo and others insisted on enforcing some young women into the Youth Camp. For this reason, Li Zicheng also said with confidence: "The poor in the world are family, and the poor do not distinguish between men and women. Women can do what men can do. In order to overthrow the corrupt Ming Dynasty, women should also do their part."
In view of this, in the youth camp organized by Li Yanxin, not only many young women were incorporated into the camp, but also many elderly women over 40 years old were among them.
However, compared to the fact that the status of those young and strong women has also improved a little. At least they don’t have to stand on the front line and fight with people during the battle. However, the battle has reached this point. Hao Yaoqi and Li Guo, who are already red-eyed, don’t care about so much. Anyone who can still move is driven forward and fight for their lives.
A young woman in ragged clothes and dirty face held a wooden stick covered with blood from somewhere in her hand, tremblingly hid behind a broken wall that had collapsed halfway. Looking at the queue that was slowly pressing towards her, her heart was so nervous that she was about to jump out.
Just now, she and a group of women who were originally responsible for cleaning the bathroom were also rushed to the battlefield. When they came to the battlefield, they saw the bodies lying all over the ground and the wounded people who fell to the ground and kept wailing, many women screamed in fear, and several women even turned around and ran away immediately.
However, the bandits responsible for the formation would not be polite. After seeing them escaping, the weapons in their hands were cut off immediately without any hesitation. The escaped women were cut to death on the spot, and the remaining people were so scared that they would never dare to move around again.
Just as the woman was trembling all over, one hand suddenly grabbed her arm. Just as she was so scared that she was about to scream, a familiar voice rang in her ear, "Don't be afraid Shufen, it's me!"
Hearing this sound, the wooden stick in the young woman's hand fell to the ground and threw herself into the other person's arms. It turned out that this person was her husband.
Both of them are from Tongcheng County, Anqing Prefecture. Her husband was originally a peddler. She went around the streets and sold things every day, while she did some sewing and washing work at home. Although her life was not very rich, she was still quite adept.
But as Li Zicheng entered Anqing Mansion a few days ago, everything changed. In order to gather enough troops, her husband was also recruited into the team.
After Li Zicheng captured Tongcheng County, he not only burned the county town, but also demolished the city walls and captured her husband. Under such circumstances, she, a woman, could not survive in the county town that had already turned into ruins. In desperation, she had to join the army of bandits.
In fact, there are many people in her situation among the bandits, and many men, women, young and old are forced to enter the bandits in this way.
Of course, when they first entered the bandits, some people came to tell them how cruel the imperial court was and how stupid the emperor was, and boasted about how good the King of Chuang was. They promoted that in the rebel army, they all had clothes and food to eat. The rebel army was created to make the poor people in the world have a way to survive.
They even sang songs compiled by a military advisor named Li Yan every day, and they were happy to eat and wear food when the King of Breaking came.
According to the singing method in the song, the rebel army of the King of Chuang was simply a Bodhisattva who saved the suffering.
But is this true? They were originally called the Hunger Private Camp, but now they are renamed the Qingzhuo Camp. They not only have to work hard every day, but also participate in the war.
There is no reason in this world that unarmed and ragged people rushed to the front, and those young and strong bandits wearing armored bodies followed them to supervise the battle, killing people at any time to establish authority?
These days, she understood that these people were nominally rebels, but in fact, they were as advocated by the court. They were a group of bandits who would choose to be detained. After capturing a city, they began to burn, kill, and plunder, and then they were chased by the imperial army like a dog and fled around. For example, these people should be caught and cut into pieces.
Thinking of this, she hated these thieves very much.
At this moment, the voice of her husband rang in her ears.
"Shufen, when the imperial officers and soldiers come here, you will immediately hide behind the ruins on the right. The bandits behind you will not pay attention to you. When the imperial army comes, you will surrender immediately."
"Husband, what about you?"
