Four hundred and ninetieth chapters Central Plains flat thief seven
The officers and soldiers were still stationary, but Ma Laosan was ready to move. If the situation continued like this, if the Lushun general sent a large group of troops from behind, he would no longer have the numerical advantage.
In war, you have to use more to bully the less, and use the strong to attack the weak. At present, the people who are coming out of the stronghold are the strongest among the 2,000 parishioners. In addition, there are 600 horse bandits who are always licking blood at the edge of the knife to help. This strength is the guard of Nanyang Mansion.
They don't dare to cause trouble, let alone his foreign soldiers and horses. A strong dragon will not overwhelm a local snake. This time, let us, a local snake, teach a lesson to this foreign powerful dragon who doesn't know the heights of the sky!
Having been the chief of the police in Tangyin County for more than ten years, Ma Laosan also led more or less auxiliary troops. The policemen suppressed small groups of bandits that his Ma family could not deal with, and they were considered a big force in Tangyin.
He has a good reputation, and he has seen a lot of officers and soldiers sent by the imperial court to suppress rogue bandits in recent years. He knows that these officers and soldiers were very aggressive before the war, but they were very arrogant during the war. The fire blunderbuss was just a decoration.
, fired a blunderbuss and the soldier ran away. Therefore, Ma Laosan didn't look down on the two thousand officers and soldiers carrying blunderbuss in front of him. If these guys had the courage to rush up long ago, how could they shrink back?
There is no movement there. How can a bunch of people who don't even have enough to eat compare to the church members who stick together in a group?
"Calling everyone to come forward! Let's fight quickly and return to the village to eat meat after the battle!"
Ma Laosan, who had calculated that he had a great chance of winning, had no patience anymore, and asked his clan brothers to rush towards the officers and soldiers with their followers carrying knives and guns. The horse bandits who had been hired with a lot of money over there were already impatient to wait.
, as soon as he saw the Ma family moving, the leader laughed and led his horse bandits to rush towards the officers and soldiers.
Hundreds of bandits on horseback launched a charge, and the formation looked quite scary. The soldiers were very excited, shouting "Kill the Han dog, kill the Han dog!" and rushed towards the officers and soldiers. The ones at the front were all young white hats.
Looking back, they all held big knives in their hands, and they looked very fierce with their teeth and claws showing.
...........
When the officers and soldiers saw the Huihui moving, they began to react. Instead of running away, they followed the officers' shouts and began to move forward one by one.
Didn't the officers and soldiers run away?
The horse bandits were a little surprised. According to their previous experience, if hundreds of people from their own family rushed forward on horseback, the officers and soldiers in front of them would have to run no matter which guard they were. However, the foreign soldiers and horses in front of them did not run but moved forward.
As he moved forward, he shouted something like "one, two, three, four..." and then stopped after a few shouts, and then moved forward again. It was really weird.
This man has started to move. No matter if he is weird or not, he needs to rush forward first. Maybe these official dogs from Lushun don’t know how powerful our caravan is and treat us as minions. Wait until they get closer and give us a hard time.
After a brutal killing, they will know that our heroes from Henan are not easy to mess with!
Seeing that the officers and soldiers were well equipped, the leader couldn't help but feel excited. If he could get hundreds of good long knives, he could recruit more people. In this Henan area, whether it's rogue bandits or not,
Whether it's bandits or local tycoons, it's all about strength. Whoever is stronger will survive, and whoever can grab more good things! A big boss who has long wanted to expand his subordinates will naturally not let the officials go.
Excellent military equipment.
Because of their excitement, hundreds of horse bandits made strange noises from their mouths. The horse bandits at the front kept their bodies low while screaming, because they knew that once they entered the range of the official gunfire,
The fire sticks in the hands of those official dogs are about to start.
No matter how lucky you are, you will have to have dozens of brothers hit the target, but it doesn't matter, the official dog's gun can only be used for one round. If your horse is fast, you can rush in in the blink of an eye. Then it will be the time for our caravan brothers to show their majesty!
As for the brother who got shot, he can't blame anyone. That's all for licking blood from the edge of a knife. Either you die or he dies today. There's nothing to complain about. Anyway, the big girl and the little wife also ruined a lot. They drank a big bowl and ate in big chunks.
The magical days of meat have passed for a few days, and it was worth it even if I died!
Six hundred horse bandits roared in, but the officers and soldiers still didn't make any commotion. The soldiers still followed the officer's orders and mechanically repeated the movements. Occasionally, a few timid ones became calm because they were surrounded by their comrades.
He came down, holding the gun in his hand and breathing heavily.
"stop!"
"Fire rope!"
When they were still hundreds of miles away from the horse bandits, the officers finally ordered the team to stop advancing, and the soldiers took out fire sticks from their arms and lit the fire ropes of the fire guns in their hands.
"Raise the gun!"
The 200 gunmen at the front of the team immediately raised their fire cannons.
"put!"
After the horse bandits entered the shooting range, the gunman in the front row immediately pulled the trigger, and the ignited match rope was immediately inserted into the medicine chamber. The medicine chamber containing gunpowder was ignited with a "pop", and then with a "bang",
The iron bullet loaded in the blunderbuss tube is fired.
"Put it back!"
Without any interruption, the gunmen in the second row also fired their fireguns in an instant, while the gunmen in the front row were already squatting on the ground.
One blast, two blasts, three blasts...the army's firecrackers seemed to be endless, and they kept roaring in the empty mine field.
...........
The Liaodong Army that went into battle was armed with a new type of matchlock gun made by Sun Yuanhua in Denglai. This matchlock gun was much more convenient than the bird-bill blunderbuss previously used by the Ming Army, but the projectiles used were similar. Unless it hit a vital point, it would
Otherwise it will not be fatal immediately.
But for the white-hat warriors without armor protection, the intense firing of more than a thousand fire cannons in turn was enough to leave them with corpses everywhere and the ground stained with blood.
After two years of training, the newly formed army adopted the three-stage firing tactic, and the firing of firecrackers was like lining up to kill, which was enough to sweep away the Huihui and horse bandits who were not even an army at all.
Cao Bianjiao seized the Yellow River ferry and brought 6,000 cavalry with him. Dayong still had a battalion of cavalry guards on hand. If the cavalry was sent to fight these Huihui, the efficiency would definitely be much higher than that of the infantry. However, Dayong still decided to send infantry to encircle and suppress these Huihui.
, because there have been almost no battles since the establishment of the new army, and the training of soldiers relies entirely on those veterans. Although the training seems to have achieved the effect Dayong wanted, it is an army that has never truly experienced blood and fire.
It's not really a strong army.
Before the upcoming battle with the rogue bandits, Dayong had always wanted his soldiers to participate in more actual combat, but there was no good opportunity. Now those who are coming back to the door are obviously inferior to the rogue bandits who often mobilize tens of thousands.
The best object for military training.
If a battalion of infantry cannot deal with a Huihui who has formed a stronghold to defend himself, then there is no need to talk about annihilating the bandits, just pack up and go home. Dayong has no doubt about the victory of the battle. The only thing to consider is that there will be many enemies in this battle.
How many casualties will there be, and how many problems will be exposed?
Wang Fei of Qianhu, who led his troops into battle, was told to report the entire battle process to the staff newspaper after the war so that the entire army could learn from it and improve some shortcomings that might cause mass casualties. At the same time, he was given the order that chickens and dogs should not
Yes, yes, no chickens or dogs. Dayong wants no one left alive in Ma's village.
...........
After the Liaodong army's gunfire started, the horse bandits were stunned. The brothers in the front kept falling off their horses, but the people behind could not rush to the front because the army's gunfire was too dense, and the sound of the gunfire was simply
Tens of thousands of troops were firing guns at the same time, and bullets were flying everywhere. Wherever there was an opening, they could rush forward on horseback.
The bodies of the horse bandits who were shot were filled with countless holes, and blood oozed out from every hole. They fell off their horses as if they were out of line, and then rolled on the ground like bloody gourds and howled, but they could not die unless their
The blood dries up.
In the blink of an eye, three to four hundred brothers were dead. Looking at the officers and soldiers who were still firing their guns, the horse bandits realized that they were in trouble. These officers and dogs were not their prey, but were hunted and killed.
Your own hunter.
The horse bandits were not really afraid of death, and they were not a well-trained army. After witnessing the tragic situation of their companions, panic broke out in an instant. The remaining horse bandits turned around and ran away without even thinking, but they were charging.
He turned around as soon as he could, and more than two hundred horse bandits suddenly became a chaotic mess. In the panic, a few unlucky guys were knocked to the ground by their own family members.
The leader of the horse bandits was the first one to run away. Being a leader naturally has a lot of vision. This war must not continue. He is here to make a fortune, not to die. Taking advantage of the fact that the official army has no cavalry, this
If you know how to run quickly, as many as you can run, it is better than all of them dying here. I don’t know whether it was because I was running in a hurry or because I was too scared, but the boss actually missed and fell off the horse. Fortunately, he was not injured.
When he got up, he saw a guy charging towards him on horseback. He was so frightened that he rolled over on the spot to avoid being trampled.
The power of the army's gunfire and the collapse of the horse bandits stunned the white hat Huihui. Ma Derong immediately broke off his horse and ran away. As soon as he ran, those Huihui would not be stupid enough to continue to die, and would follow him swarm
They ran towards the village. The ones who ran the most fiercely were the Huihui who just shouted to kill the Han dogs. It seemed that these Huihui were not afraid of death, nor did they not know that the sky was high and the earth was high. The Huihui understood the four words of bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
Very thorough and very skillfully used.
So defeated?
Ma Derong and the old servant Ma Xiangming who were watching the battle in the village were dumbfounded. Everyone was frightened by the gunshots of the officers and soldiers, and they all had the same thought in their minds: Why are the officers and soldiers of Lushun so strong? Their firepower
Why can't I finish the blunderbuss?
Seeing that the Huihui who were rushing towards them with the horse bandits turned around and ran away, Wang Fei immediately ordered to stop shooting.
After the sound of gunfire stopped, five hundred soldiers holding long knives and wearing two layers of cotton armor separated from the brigade. Their faces were expressionless, and four skulls hung on their waists. However, it was Dayong who set up in each battalion.
The Tiger Guards.
Anyone who joins the Tiger Guard is a cannibal and a vicious soldier.
