Wen Dashan never thought that he would encounter such a thrilling and exciting thing in his military career!
Just a few seconds ago, an arrow suddenly fell from the sky, and then plunged directly into his feet, exactly the same distance from his feet.
He didn't pay much attention to it at first, but after this arrow, several more arrows flew towards him, which frightened him and quickly hid behind a comrade.
The result was quite unexpected. His comrade-in-arms was hit by several arrows, but he was not injured at all. This fully proved the life-saving trick taught to him by a veteran when he first joined the army: "When the enemy shoots arrows, don't be stupid."
Dodge or block with a shield, the most effective way is to hide behind your comrades."
Facts have proved that the human shield of comrades is more useful than the small round in my hand!
But even after escaping such a disaster, he was full of pessimism about the subsequent battle!
This battle cannot be fought!
The puppet Tang bandit army in front rushed down the hillside all over the mountains and plains, while our own people could only huddle on the beach, trying to resist with a tight formation, and waiting for reinforcements from friendly forces on the other side of the river.
Although the adults leading the team are saying, hang on, the army will soon cross the river for reinforcements, not only the forward army, but also the main force behind is not far away, they will be able to arrive soon.
As long as they hold this ferry, it will be a great achievement!
But how long can such resistance last? Can the ferry be held?
Dashan said that he didn’t know what the adults above were thinking. Anyway, he felt that there was no hope. The bows and arrows of the puppet Tang rebel army on the opposite side were all fine. Although he almost hit himself in the back row just now, the puppet Tang rebel army was more
What makes people despair is their blunderbuss.
Their firecrackers were so sharp that the firecrackers of the Pseudo-Tang rebel army did not rush forward, but fired row after row dozens of steps away, while our own archers could not fight back.
In this case, you can only passively withstand the opponent's firepower. If you want to fight back, you can only rush forward and engage in hand-to-hand combat.
According to Dashan's own ideas, the best way now is to rush forward. With some casualties on the charge, he also has to rush forward to engage in hand-to-hand combat. Once the melee combat begins, it will be a melee. Then one's own side will be at a disadvantage, but it can also avoid single combat.
It's a situation of being beaten.
Moreover, once the melee begins, the firecrackers that pose the greatest threat to people like us will lose their effectiveness, and the firecrackers of the Puppet Tang rebels will shoot at the chaotic crowd without distinguishing between friend and foe.
In addition, during the melee, our own subsequent reinforcements can continue to catch up and join the battle. It is not hopeless to hold the ferry by then.
But the adults above didn't know what they were thinking. They just stuck to their formation and attacked directly without giving orders!
After being hit with several rounds of firecrackers by the puppet Tang bandit army, the morale will definitely plummet, and then they will collapse on the spot.
No one can withstand a battle where they only receive beatings without fighting back, especially if this battle also involves constant casualties among one's own people!
The adults had their own thoughts, and the soldiers like Wen Dashan also had their own thoughts. At this time, Wen Dashan's eyes were already turning rapidly, thinking about how to escape.
He was sure that if he continued to stay, he would die sooner or later!
Although he is accustomed to death and injury, and he is not afraid of death, he is mentally aware of being injured or even killed on the battlefield.
After all, there have always been many bandits in Xingquan Prefecture. Whether it is guard soldiers or recruited soldiers like them, they will always fight several battles a year. Even if the army can easily deal with those bandits most of the time, the casualties will definitely still be
There will be.
Anyone who joins the army has not had a few encounters with death. Every battle is on the verge of death. If you are unlucky, you will be injured or even die.
Dashan has never been a hypocritical person. He does not think that his luck will always be good enough to avoid injury!
He started joining the army last year, and he had already realized that he would sell his life to eat military rations, and since he was recruiting soldiers for such frequent wars, the chances of being injured or even killed were quite high. He had always known this, and had this
Mentally prepared.
But even with this mental preparation, he still wants to live longer, so he never rushes to the front during the war, even if he is arranged to join the vanguard, even if he is in the first row of charge
, he will still be a few steps behind his comrades.
Therefore, over the past year or so, several comrades around him have been killed or injured, but he is still alive and well.
Sometimes, he would even have the illusion that he could continue to do so peacefully until he could no longer retire and return to his hometown.
But now, his illusion is in danger of being broken. If he continues to stay where he is, he will die, and they will all die.
They were only one hundred and fifty people. They faced thousands of pseudo-Tang rebels, and there were at least two hundred gunmen among them. Listening to the intensive sound of gunfire, he knew that he would definitely not survive if he continued to stay.
.
Even those adults who said before that the Puppet Tang Thief Army was just a firecracker, just heard the sound and couldn't hit anyone at all. Standing in front of their gunmen and letting them shoot, all the firecrackers of the Puppet Tang Thief Army hit.
Missed.
Those big shots in the Ming army were indeed right. The accuracy of muskets these days was indeed not very good. It was normal for them to miss someone from a distance of more than dozens of meters.
But there is not just one musketeer in a musketeer battle. They are a group of musketeers. Rows of musketeers fight. The bullets fired by the musketeers aiming at you cannot hit you, but it is very likely that the other musketeers are not aiming at all.
The bullets fired by your musketeers knocked you down.
In these days' musketeer operations, the emphasis is on area-wide destruction and the amount of ammunition delivered per unit time. Who wants to play precision shooting with you?
It is hard to say whether he can survive facing the blunderbuss of the puppet Tang bandit army.
He survived the last battle, and he survived this battle, but who can guarantee that he can continue to survive the next battle?
No one can give him this guarantee, not even Song Zhiwen, the nominal supreme commander of the army, can give him this guarantee personally.
On the battlefield, swords and guns are blind. Let alone a small soldier like him, it is not impossible for the commander-in-chief of an army to be shot by an arrow.
Wen Dashan had heard that in Zhengtai County, an adult from a thousand households was killed by a fire cannon!
At this time, Wen Dashan remembered the advice given to him by a senior soldier!
And now, he is about to implement this advice!
He took a deep breath, quietly took off his armor, threw down his shield and knife, and ran away with lightning speed.
The veteran told him: If you want to survive on the battlefield, you don't need to run too fast, but you must run faster than your comrades!
