Looking from Sun Kewang's perspective, he could see the rogue bandits crashing into the Qingzhou Army's position like a wave of waves, while the Qingzhou Army was like a hard sea rock, standing on the hillside, standing firm despite the impact of the waves.
Sun Kewang could clearly see that although the number of rogue bandits was seven or eight times that of these officers and soldiers, in fact there were only a few people in contact with these officers and soldiers at the same time, and the firearms in their hands were not like those of the Ming army in the past when they ran out of ammunition.
They became fire sticks. After being equipped with some sharp things, these fire blunderbuss became sharp weapons for killing people. These officers and soldiers were ruthless in their attacks. The spikes on the fire blunderbuss were designed to stab people in the heart, eyes, throat and other parts of the body.
, the attack was accurate and ruthless, and it was a killing move. Those rebels who were desperately rushing forward were picked to death one by one in front of the battle line like chickens.
Soon, a layer of corpses lay in front of Qian Tongming's row of sergeants. Whether they were dead or about to die, they were all lying on the ground in a mess, their bodies all stabbed by sharp Mitsubishi thorns.
External trauma such as a Mitsubishi thorn was almost synonymous with death in an era without suture technology. People who were stabbed by a Mitsubishi thorn could only watch their blood gushing out, and then died in despair due to blood loss.
Relying on the assassination skills he practiced hard every day, Qian Tongming has killed six bandits. At this moment, the faces of the bandits standing in front of him have turned pale, and the hands holding the spears have begun to tremble. After fighting for so long, the bandits finally
I found that these Ming troops were really too ruthless. Although both sides used spear-like weapons, when we stabbed them, we could not gain the upper hand at all. The marksmanship of these Ming troops were all ruthless and accurate.
Even if both sides fire their guns at the same time, they can still take the lead and pierce their vital parts. Obviously these Ming soldiers have practiced hard.
Moreover, these Ming soldiers were all covered in armor made of fine steel. Even if their own spears occasionally hit the opponent, it would only make a crisp sound or a flash of fire. But the opponent could do nothing.
He stabbed his own body with scruple.
On the hillside, Sun Kewang, who was watching the battle with his eyes on fire, jumped to his feet in anxiety: "Asshole, these officers and soldiers are all wearing fine steel chainmail. Our spears can't pierce them at all."
Chain armor, also known as "ring chain armor" in ancient China, is a kind of armor with extremely high protective power. It enjoys the reputation of "invulnerable to swords and bullets and impermeable to arrows". However, due to its complicated and cumbersome production process, the cost is high.
, generally only officers can wear it in China, and among the bandits, only a few generals such as Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin can own it. But what Sun Kewang sees now is that these Ming troops have a very luxurious one. This has become obvious.
It was beyond Sun Kewang's knowledge. The best way to deal with chainmail was to use a long-cone armor-piercing spear made of fine steel, but this kind of high-end product was not something that a refugee from Kuhaha's background could possess.
Sun Kewang sadly discovered that he had an advantage in numbers, but he could not use it. A large group of people on his side could fight face-to-face with the Ming army. Often only the people in one or two rows in front were able to fight. Although the people behind were anxious, they could not use it.
I can only stand at the back and watch my companions struggling in front. I just stand behind and watch the fun. In addition, the bandits don't even have enough to eat on weekdays, and they have no training. When charging, they often rush forward in a swarm. Generally, they are brave.
The largest group of people rushes to the front. Therefore, when fighting happens, these people are often the ones to rush to the front, while the others just play the role of making noise from behind.
People in ancient times have long recognized this truth, so no matter which ancient general they were, they would emphasize the importance of marching formations. Only strict formations can mobilize everyone to fight to the maximum extent, rather than just relying on a few
The brave men come to win.
But it's a pity that the rogues don't know this truth. They are accustomed to the crowd tactics and often rush forward in a chaotic manner. If they encounter an opponent weaker than them, they will be as brave as chicken blood.
, if they encounter a strong and invincible opponent, they will turn into frightened deer, and running away is their best reaction.
The fighting is still going on. Fighting with cold weapons is more cruel than hot weapons. When a person sees sharp weapons piercing his own body or the body of others, bringing out blood and internal organs, he hears the familiar words of brothers.
They fell down in front of and beside them, and the screams they made before dying could make people collapse.
This kind of pressure is equal to both sides. What the warring parties compete with is to see which side will die first or collapse first. This process is cruel, and the losing side often has to pay the price with his life.
Obviously, the courage that the bandits gathered together with a temporary rush of blood was like snowflakes encountering the scorching sun, and was quickly melted without a trace.
The bandits finally collapsed, and several bandits in the front row dropped their weapons and ran back while yelling.
The collapse of these bandits quickly affected the morale of the entire bandit, and the already shaky offensive immediately came to a halt. The bandits could no longer restrain their inner fear, and they followed the first few hungry soldiers to collapse.
He screamed wildly and ran towards his own position.
More and more people were retreating, which soon triggered panic in the entire infantry formation. When hungry soldiers and armored soldiers swarmed towards their own formation, five hundred swordsmen and axemen led by Luo Rucai arrived.
These sword and axemen are Sun Kewang's confidants. Their equipment is much better than that of ordinary bandits. At least everyone has armor. The quality of the swords and spears in their hands is also better than that of ordinary bandits.
Facing their own defeated soldiers, they raised their long swords and mercilessly chopped down the more than a hundred defeated soldiers who were running at the front. Luo Rucai, who was rushing at the front, showed his ferocious face and faced the defeated soldiers.
He yelled: "You all are optimistic, this is the fate of running away. If you don't want to die, go back to me. As long as you defeat the Ming army inside, you will have whatever you want. The previous promise between Mr. Sun and I will not change."
.”
Under Luo Rucai's desperate pressure, the retreat was finally stopped. However, the offensive of the rogue bandits also began to become sparse. Many people began to look forward and backward when attacking and refused to make an effort. Sun Kewang and Luo Rucai were anxious.
They were furious, but they did not dare to suppress them any more, otherwise once a mutiny was triggered, these starving soldiers would betray them before the battle, and they would cry without crying.
The lack of stamina of the bandits was also seen in Cheng Kai's eyes. He nodded to the messenger beside him and said: "Okay, you immediately send a signal and order Heitie to start attacking!"
"yes!"
Upon hearing the order, he took out a thick firecracker from the cloth bag on his waist and placed it on the ground. He blew the red firecracker and quickly lit the firecracker.
"Boom...whoosh..."
I saw a ray of light shooting straight into the sky, and the beautiful white light illuminated the sky. Soon there was a rumble of horse hooves in the distance. This sound of horse hooves quickly reached the ears of both warring parties from a distance.
"not good!"
After hearing the sound of horse hooves, Sun Kewang's face turned pale.
"Damn it, how could I have forgotten this cavalry?"
Sun Kewang stared blankly at the dust and smoke rising in the distance, and his heart felt cold. He knew that he was finished. He had missed the opponent's thousand cavalry. Now the opponent had launched a charge towards him. As long as those cavalry were there,
If he rushes over, the hungry people like him who no longer have the slightest intention to fight will definitely be scattered by the opponent like herding sheep. That is the end of his life. After experiencing the fire of war for several years, he knows that the situation is over now and he has no way to turn back.
Oh my god.
"No, I can't die here, I haven't enjoyed enough yet!"
Thinking of this, he lowered his head and said to the messenger beside him: "You should immediately tell Mr. Zhi Luo to withdraw quickly, and we will meet in Luoyang!"
Thinking of this, Sun Kewang immediately summoned the cavalry surrounding him and led the cavalry to gallop westward...
The rumble of horse hooves rushed to the battlefield with smoke and dust all over the sky. Thousands of war horses rushed into the already chaotic formation of the rogues, like a sharp knife piercing the enemy's chest.
Heitie ran at the front of the sharp sword. He held his saber high and rushed into the crowd of rogue bandits, slashing left and right with an unstoppable force. The cavalry following him also flashed their shining sabers and killed the rogue bandits.
The sudden attack of the cavalry was the last straw that broke the will of the rogue bandits. They finally collapsed. Countless rogue bandits ran back with crazy shouts. Even Luo Rucai led five hundred swordsmen and axemen to suppress them desperately, but it was of no use.
"Asshole, go back to me. Anyone who doesn't want to die, go back to me!"
Luo Rucai chopped down two bandits with a long knife and was still shouting loudly, but at this time, the situation was completely defeated. Even Sun Wu's resurrection could not save this inevitable defeat.
Just when Luo Rucai was getting angry with anxiety, a bandit found him and said loudly: "Master Luo, Master Sun has already withdrawn first. He asked me to tell you to retreat quickly and meet in Luoyang!"
"What!" This news shocked Luo Rucai like a bolt from the blue. After a long time, he shouted angrily: "This bastard actually ran away first. I will definitely skin him when I go back!"
At this time, a group of defeated soldiers attacked Luo Rucai and the others, and soon Luo Rucai was dragged back by the defeated soldiers.
On the hillside, looking at the swarming bandits running backwards, Cheng Kai lost no time in drawing out his long sword and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, the enemy army is still defeated. This is the time when you are fighting hard to kill the enemy. Kill!"
"kill!"
After hearing the order, three thousand infantrymen with rifles in hand swarmed forward. Since the rogue bandits had been defeated, they did not need to maintain any formation, and they all swarmed forward...
