"go ahead……"

Cao Yingmao held up the saber in his hand and shouted loudly. Several drummers beside him were beating the big drum next to him. The soldiers around him walked slowly with neat steps along with the sound of drums. Scattered gunshots sounded from time to time during the advance. They were the bandits responsible for guarding the cavalry around him who were clearing out some corners around him.

The neat footsteps were heard far away in the village. Shufen, who was hiding behind a broken wall, had no trace of her companions around her. The people had either been beaten to death or had escaped long ago.

Seeing that the officers and soldiers were getting closer and closer to him, and less than twenty steps, Shufen jumped out with all her strength, holding her hands high and crying, "Mr. Jun... don't kill me... I'm a good citizen of Anqing Mansion..."

"preparation……"

Seeing a man suddenly rushing out from behind the collapsed house, the leader of the team was startled and raised his right hand without thinking. As long as he shouted to shoot, the man would definitely be beaten into a pile of rotten meat in just a few seconds, but a voice behind him stopped him.

"Wait a minute, don't shoot."

The person who said this was Cao Yingmao. He stepped forward and looked at the figure running towards them, frowned and said, "Don't do it, the person in front seems to be a woman, let her come."

While talking, Shufen had already stumbled and ran over.

When she saw the Ming army officers and soldiers pressing over, she felt that the other party was walking slowly like a huge monster. Now, after walking in, she saw a soldier wearing iron armor wearing a red cloak behind his back and holding a musket looking at him with a cold look. The man in the head looked like a general was even cold and solemn. The pressure suddenly surged in a geometric multiple, which made her breathless.

She couldn't bear the pressure and knelt on the ground with a thud and cried: "My gentlemen, the little woman is from Anqing Mansion. She was unfortunately captured by the bandits and her husband into the bandits' army. Today, I am grateful that the court army is rescued by the imperial army. The little woman begged all the soldiers to show their mercy to rescue the little woman's husband. The little woman kowtowed to you!"

After saying that, Shufen knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the officers and soldiers with a loud bang, and his forehead became red and swollen after a few times.

"Forget it, get up!"

Before she could continue to knock, she felt that she was being helped up. The person who helped her was the general next to her with a cold look. However, his eyes had become much gentler at this time. He could only say in a deep voice: "Get up, if your husband is still alive, you will meet after the war. Now go back and don't affect the movement of the army."

After saying that, he waved his hand and someone pulled her aside, and then the army continued to advance.

"Bang bang bang..."

A platoon of guns rang out, and more than ten bandits who suddenly rushed out from behind a house fell into a pool of blood. Just as the first platoon soldiers stopped to load ammunition, more than twenty bandits rushed out from the side.

"Bang bang bang..."

At this time, the second row of soldiers opened fire. As the smoke rose, the more than 20 bandits followed the footsteps of their companions in front. Before they could breathe a sigh of relief, there was a noise ahead, accompanied by a roar, and countless bandits suddenly emerged around them and suddenly rushed towards them.

At this time, the sergeants in the first and second row had not yet been loaded. Although the sergeants in the third row immediately fired, many people still rushed to them because there were too many bandits.

The person in charge is nothing else, but Li Guo.

Looking at Jiang Ningjun who was so close to him, Li Guo's face turned red with excitement.

He has also studied the characteristics of the Jiangning Army these days. Although the firearms of the Jiangning Army are sharp, they are not without weaknesses, that is, they are not good at melee combat and close-killing. As long as they are close to each other by their opponents, their weaknesses will be exposed. So Li Guo personally led hundreds of soldiers from the old camp ambushed around and sent dozens of baits to lure the Jiangning Army to open fire. As long as they can rush into the Jiangning Army's formation to fight with them, they will be able to defeat them.

Li Guo's idea was right. He caught the military formation in front off guard and soon got mixed up with them.

However, things were not as he had imagined as if they were to slaughtered. Instead, at the same time, at the command, the soldiers of the other side pulled out a handful of military stings from their waists and put them on the muskets and fought with them without fear.

It has to be mentioned here that when forming the Jiangning Army, although Yang Feng was committed to forming a modern firearm unit, he still trained the sting as a basic skill of the army, requiring the troops to have the skills and courage to fight bayonets. Every year, the troops will hold sting competitions, and those who win will receive a considerable bounty and even give priority to promotion rewards. This also makes the soldiers in the Jiangning Army very tightly grabbing the sting on weekdays.

This hard work also reflected its value at this time. Although the bandits suddenly rushed to the front of them, the soldiers were not panicked. They quickly installed bayonets under the command of the officers in less than three seconds, and then they collided with the bandits who rushed up like two torrents.

"kill……"

A burly bandit rushed over, and his eyes were red, roaring with a long sword high and slashing at a sergeant in front of him. The soldier did not dodge, and thrust the bayonet and stabbed him.

Seeing that the other party was actually dying together, the thief's eyes narrowed, and his body turned, and the long sword in his hand still slashed. The bayonet that stabbed him immediately pierced, and his long sword also slashed firmly on the shoulder of the soldier.

However, the expected scene of flesh and blood flying did not happen, but made a crisp sound. After the long sword slashed the opponent's armor, the opponent was beaten to the point of falling and squatting on the ground.

Before the thief could continue to lift the knife to look at the person, two more bayonets were stabbing him next to him. This time he just dodged one, and the other bayonet penetrated his armor firmly and spurted into his right rib.

The severe pain made him scream in pain. Before he could retreat, two more bayonets stabbed into his chest one after another. Even though he was as strong as he was stabbed by three bayonets, he could only open his eyes and feel unwilling to let go.
