Nine hundred and fifth chapter kill their own people
So, such a scene appeared on the battlefield......≦...≦Faced with the continuous rush of guerrilla swords, shield hands and long-time soldiers, the navy officers holding muskets could only passively resist, one after another was stabbed to the ground by a spear, or chopped to the ground by a big knife.
As for the more than a thousand swords, shields and long-time guerrillas, few of them died directly in battle.
After all, the muskets held by the official army have no choice but to directly cause fatal damage to the guerrillas.
Therefore, at a glance, the entire battlefield of battle is a unilateral massacre.
As time passed little by little, more and more official troops were eliminated. The official troops, which had lost six or seven hundred people, finally collapsed.
The guerrillas did not pursue these naval officers who fled in all directions.
Because, the hundreds of miles around, except for this dock and the county where the prefect is located, it is still controlled by the court. The rest are all the territory of the Tiger and Leopard Army. Even if they escape from the battlefield, they will never escape from the guerrilla encirclement.
Of course, not everyone scattered in a hurry if they are escaping.
Among them, four or five hundred officers, under the orders of several officers, fled directly towards the two thousand elite navy leaders led by the navy commander. I hope that the two troops could unite and regain the dock from the guerrillas in one fell swoop.
However, this official army forgot a fact.
With the guerrillas following behind them and chasing them, they can save their lives and get the protection of the main elite.
They must have been in Chengdu, and they also helped the guerrilla pursuers behind them, allowing them to avoid the interception of the main elite muskets and rushed directly to the main elite.
Therefore, after seeing the ever-changing battlefield behind him, the navy commander's face turned pale.
Then, he shouted with despair: "It's over... the dock is over... the cunning guerrillas are still hiding so many swords, shields and long-time masters around the dock..."
"Hurry, find a way to get the hundreds of people in front of you to get out of here, block these guerrillas with muskets. Then destroy them and kill them back to the dock... These guerrillas are all equipped with cold weapons. As long as we keep a distance from him, the other party will not do anything to us..."
"A thousand musketeers come to the back to cover. Prevent the guerrilla musketeers from taking advantage of the chaos... Other musketeers, with me, destroy the guerrillas behind me and regain the dock..." There are warships on the dock. As long as we take back the dock, we can evacuate the dock. Escape to Nanjing and continue to live..."
Stimulated by the conditions of survival, the two thousand musketeers who were still left around him were divided into two in no time, forming two huge muskete arrays in front and back.
However, with the hundreds of defeated soldiers getting closer and closer to the musket array, as the guerrillas were stuck closely behind them, they had only one idea in their minds, that is, to escape to the commander and seek the commander's protection in the shortest time.
Therefore, after the military orders of the navy commander reached their ears, they directly expressed their ignorance, and they should do whatever they should do, without any change.
Faced with this situation, the commander's already pale face turned pale at this moment, and he shouted loudly regardless of his identity: "Bastard, what do they want to do? Don't you know that doing this will lead everyone to die..."
After that, the despair on the commander's face was immediately replaced by firmness.
He decisively ordered at his subordinates who were also frightened, "Why are you still stunned? Shoot immediately, and those who don't want to be killed by the guerrillas. All shots are fired at me, immediately..."
There is no doubt that when facing his former comrades and brothers, everyone hesitated about the order to shoot.
They looked at the commander with incredible expressions, wanting to confirm the commander's order again.
Not only that, several subordinates with unbearable faces spoke directly and asked: "But, General, they are all their own people, and they are brothers on the dock... Isn't it a matter of shooting now that I'm going to take their lives?"
The commander knew that at this moment, it would be best to give an explanation to his subordinates. Otherwise, his prestige in front of everyone would disappear completely.
However, facing the deserter who was already close, the commander also knew that at this critical moment of life and death, there was no time for him to explain.
So the commander shouted loudly with murderous aura on his face: "If you don't want to die, shoot me... shoot immediately, otherwise we will all die..."
After saying that, the commander directly pulled out the knife, put the sharp blade on the neck of a musketeer beside him, and shouted loudly: "Shoot immediately... If you don't shoot, you will be the one who will..."
"Bang..." As the commander waited anxiously, the long-lost gunfire finally reached his ears.
As the first gunshot sounded, the other musketeers were forced to pull the plate machine one after another.
Just when the commander couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, the results of the war achieved by a round of muskets on the battlefield were directly stunned on the spot.
It turned out that even though he didn't want to become the executioner of the slaughter brothers, a thousand musketeers subconsciously raised the height of the muzzle when they fired.
This led to less than ten deserters who died on the road after a round of lead bombs.
More importantly, the sudden gunfire in the eyes of the deserters did not prevent them from getting closer to the commander, but urged them to speed up their escape.
Therefore, several deserters were knocked to the ground by the lead bullets shot in front of them. Not only did the deserters make the right choice, leave the official road and quickly escape from both sides of the official road. Instead, they made their escape speed along the official road faster and continued to act as the flesh shields of the guerrillas behind them.
Faced with this change, the commander's dazed face was once again covered by anger.
He was like an angry lion, staring at his red eyes and scolding loudly...
"What are you doing? Do you want to die?... I didn't see the guerrillas following them... I aimed at me, continue to shoot, and I must break up these deserters..."
In the new round of gunfire, a thousand musketeers also realized the seriousness of the problem. Not only did they have no intention of letting go, but they were more accurate than usual.
After the gunshots, more than a hundred deserters fell on the road to escape.
This is why the remaining deserters on the official road finally reacted, and then quickly left the official road, and began to scatter and escape in all directions with dissatisfaction screams and scolding.
