The bandits arrived so suddenly that most of the officers and soldiers were completely unprepared. Only Pang Gang's 120 soldiers were able to prepare in time and formed up in front of their own camp.
The first thing that came into contact with the thieves was Hao Dayong's more than thirty servants. Since these servants were all riding horses, their reaction speed was also the fastest. Under Hao Dayong's command, more than thirty servants quickly mounted their horses and rushed towards them.
The bandits tried to use the impact of the horses to disrupt the bandits' charge.
But Pang Gang on the side discovered that although Hao Dayong's idea was not wrong, it was a pity that those servants were not real cavalry after all. They were at best a group of infantry on horseback. They did not form a collective force, and
They spread out and attacked the bandits in turn, which actually gave the bandits a chance to defeat each one.
The bandits quickly relied on their spears to withstand the charge of the dozen bandits in front of them and knocked them off their horses one by one. The servants who lost their horses were soon drowned in the sea of hundreds of bandits.
When the more than ten servants behind saw what happened to their companions, they suddenly became timid, reined in their horses and retreated back.
Pang Gang, who was watching the battle from behind, secretly shook his head. From here he learned another lesson. Cavalry without a joint force can easily be killed by infantry. He must remember this lesson when he forms cavalry in the future.
After killing more than a dozen servants, the arrogance of the bandits increased. Under the leadership of a bandit chief, hundreds of bandits rushed toward the camp with roars.
"Brothers, kill the officers and soldiers!"
"Come on!"
Seeing the noisy bandits rushing over, the faces of the officers, including Hao Dayong, began to change color. The officers and soldiers have not yet formed their formations. If they continue to fight with the bandits like this, they will easily be killed.
The opponent was defeated.
Pang Gang looked back and saw that the soldiers he had brought with him had already lined up behind him. He felt reassured and said in a deep voice: "My lords, there is no need to panic. The soldiers are coming to cover up the water and the earth. This time, let my troops go up first!"
After saying that, Pang Gang walked to the team behind him who had already formed a formation, pulled out his scimitar and shouted loudly: "All armies, listen to the order, the gunmen are in front, and the spearmen are behind in formation and advance!"
After hearing Pang Gang's order, the drummer who had been prepared immediately beat the big drum he carried with him.
"Dong dong dong dong..."
As the heavy drum beat sounded, one hundred and twenty soldiers were divided into four lines and marched steadily forward with unified steps to the rhythm of the drum.
When the team marched to 250 steps away from the bandits, Pang Gang raised his machete and shouted loudly: "Everyone stop!"
"Crash!" With a sound, all the soldiers stopped.
At this time, Wang Zhi, who was the leader of the sixty gunners, raised the scimitar in his hand and shouted: "Light the match! Reload immediately!"
"Chi chi chi chi..."
Following Wang Zhi's order, sixty bird gunners used torches to light the match ropes hanging around their necks. They held the Rumi gun horizontally with their left hand, took the hair medicine jar with their right hand, took out the gag with their mouths, and poured it out.
In the fire door pool, close the lid, turn the blunderbuss slightly sideways with your left hand so that the eye of the fire faces upwards, and tap gently with your right hand to make the powder enter the eye and connect with the medicine in the barrel. After loading the gunpowder, hold the blunderbuss in your hand.
They blew off the ashes with the fire rope and placed the match rope clip in the faucet. After preparing all this, the first row of fire gunmen raised their Rumi guns and pointed them at the enemy in front, waiting for the command of the general flag at any time.
Wang Zhi, who was commanding a battle for the first time, was also very nervous. He raised his machete and looked at the bandits rushing in front. He felt that his legs were shaking slightly. He saw that the bandits had already rushed to the 150th step.
distance, but he still refrained from giving the order to shoot.
Seeing that the officers and soldiers in front were already in formation, all the thieves couldn't help but were stunned. A fierce bandit who was following the thieves quickly cheered up and said: "Brothers, as long as they rush to the officers and soldiers, they will be killed. Kill them!"
"
After listening to the thieves' instigation, the thieves rushed forward again.
Seeing that the bandits had rushed to about 120 steps, the scimitar in Wang Zhi's hand fell from the height, and he shouted loudly: "Let go!"
Following Wang Zhi's order, the thirty gunmen in the front row who had been waiting impatiently pulled the triggers in their hands one after another!
"Bang bang bang..."
Accompanied by the dull gunshots, the thieves who were desperately rushing forward saw bursts of white smoke rising in front of them. The more than ten brothers rushing in the front row almost felt as if they had been punched.
At the same time, they flew backwards. More than ten brothers were already lying on the ground, howling loudly, and their voices were extremely miserable.
At this time, I heard another sharp shout from the front: "The first row of gunmen retreated, the second row came forward, let go!"
Another dull gunshot sounded, and more than twenty thieves fell to the ground.
Seeing the miserable state of their companions in front of them, some of the gangsters felt fear in their hearts and began to hesitate in their steps. The gangster loudly encouraged them: "Don't be afraid, rush over, rush in front of the officers and soldiers, and they will be defeated."
The thieves suppressed their fear and continued to charge forward. At this time, the gunmen led by Wang Zhi had not loaded the lead bullets with gunpowder. Upon seeing this, Pang Gang quickly asked the spearmen behind to step forward to resist.
"Pikemen come forward!"
"Advance!" Following Da Zhuang's order, sixty spearmen divided into two rows and walked in front of the gunners.
"Protect!"
"Crash!"
Sixty spears were raised in unison, with the spear points parallel to their foreheads. The spearmen formed a dense formation according to their daily training and faced the oncoming bandits head-on.
Just as the two sides were preparing to connect their armies, there was a sudden loud noise from behind. It turned out that a squatting tiger cannon brought by the Lingshan Guards finally opened fire. A hail of lead pellets and rocks swept past, hitting the ten men in front.
Several gangsters were bruised and bloody, and many of them covered their heads and rolled on the ground, screaming miserably.
The group of thieves and bandits suddenly screamed, "Paozi, the officers and soldiers have fired!"
The courage that the thieves mustered up was finally frightened away by the squatting tiger cannon. All the thieves were frightened and they all turned around and fled back as hard as they could, especially the ruthless bandit who escaped the fastest.
Seeing the thieves fleeing, the lieutenant generals breathed a sigh of relief. Hao Dayong laughed loudly and ordered all the servants and a dozen Yebu to mount their horses and pursue them. Watching Heitie leading dozens of horsemen to catch up like wolves and tigers.
Going to grab the credit, the Lingshan Guard officers had a look of dissatisfaction on their faces.
However, all the gangsters dispersed, and he managed to save his life without saying anything.
Looking at the bandits who had dispersed, Pang Gang secretly compared the combat effectiveness of his own soldiers with those of the other party, and found that if he could fight alone, his soldiers, who had only been trained for a few months, were really no match for those who were accustomed to bandits.
, the only way to deal with them is probably the formation. Thinking of this, Pang Gang became more determined to strengthen the training of the formation.
At this time, Hao Dayong turned around and said to Pang Gang: "Pang Baihu, you should also order the soldiers to go forward and chop off the heads of the bandits."
Pang Gang knew that this was Hao Dayong's show of goodwill to him and that he wanted to share some of his military exploits with him. After all, if he had not led his army to withstand the bandits' attack just now, I am afraid that the camp would have been dispersed by the bandits. If
It would be unjustifiable not to reward oneself with some merits in battle.
Just now, Pang Gang saw the evil behavior of Hao Da when he ordered his servants to steal the credit. However, the Ming army was like this at this time. Taking the credit was considered a trivial matter. It was not unusual to kill the good and take the credit. Everyone did it.
, if you don’t do this, you will be separated from this group.
Therefore, Pang Gang suppressed his displeasure, agreed, and immediately ordered the heavy troops behind to clear the battlefield.
The heavy baggage soldiers who came with the army were originally young and strong and had not been trained. Although they were ordered to go to the battlefield, their bodies were still trembling with swords. In the end, the leader Zandian Huayan took the lead and beheaded one
After seriously injuring the heads of the bandits, the soldiers mustered up the courage to chop off the heads of the dead bandits and put them into sacks.
When the baggage soldiers got off the battlefield, almost everyone vomited on the ground. Looking at the soldiers who were vomiting happily, Pang Gang secretly nodded in his heart. These baggage soldiers have seen blood. If they train well in the future,
Fan must be another elite soldier.
