Du Fuwei, who has a wealth of experience in using muskets, naturally did not intend to give the general any chance. He took a step forward and performed a standard assassination, directly piercing the chest of the general.
At the spot where the gun butt hit just now.
That heavy blow from the rifle butt should have broken the general's ribs, and the bayonet penetrated directly, following the broken gaps between the ribs, and hitting his internal organs.
"Kill!" Another Northern Zhou soldier stepped forward next to him.
He was sure that Du Fuwei would not be able to use his hands at this time.
Du Fuwei's face changed, and he subconsciously let go of his musket. He barely managed to dodge the knife that came with the strong wind. He pulled out the short blade from his waist. He was like an angry brown bear, leaping forward to pounce.
He went up and grabbed his wrist with his hands like steel pliers, making it difficult to withdraw the knife in his hand for a while, and the short blade in Du Fuwei's own hand plunged directly into the man's chest.
The Northern Zhou soldier opened his mouth, obviously he wanted to lament why this guy moved so fast. Of course, what he didn't know was that Du Fuwei had practiced bayonet fighting skills hard over the years, and he knew what actions the enemy might take.
They had been mentally prepared for a long time, but the soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty did not know what other killing moves Du Fuwei had.
Two spears came at the same time. Du Fuwei rolled on the spot, and the spear points of the spears penetrated directly into the ground. The two Northern Zhou spearmen did not pause at all. They pulled out their spears, and with a flick of the spear, two spears were fired.
The spear stabbed Du Fuwei in the chest again!
Du Fuwei shouted low, picked up the musket on the ground, pushed forward, and held the two spears. However, the two spearmen did not intend to stop there.
Scratching on the ground and retreating.
"Bang bang!" Two gunshots rang out in Du Fuwei's ears one after another.
The two spearmen in front fell at the sound.
Du Fuwei breathed a sigh of relief.
I have to say that this time, he really had not expected it before.
"Are you okay?" Fortunately, he was not alone. His old partner Fu Gong had already pulled him up behind him.
Originally, he and Fugong were on a par with each other, but as the two men's contributions became greater, they naturally began to lead an army each. Although they were still the commanders, they were in the Imperial Guard, and all those who entered the Imperial Guard
Although the generals do not have to move down one level like the Musketeers and are low-ranking executives, they still have to erase their previous possible promotions and have to stay in their original positions. This is mainly because
The number of soldiers and horses in the Imperial Guard was relatively small. In order to comply with the rule of the Han Dynasty, the generals commanded as many soldiers and horses as they were old, so they could only be promoted and suppressed, but the salary would definitely be much higher than that of the original official position.
More importantly, when you come out of the Guards, it will be different immediately. Not only will you be directly promoted, but as long as you don't cause trouble, your career will definitely be smooth sailing. After all, coming out of the Guards not only shows that you are indeed capable.
He can lead an army including hundreds of warriors, and he is also an indispensable minister of the emperor. He is an elite figure recognized by the military. All the generals above the Imperial Guard have the opportunity to personally protect Li Xinchen. Therefore, even if
Even though they knew they couldn't get promoted, everyone wanted to join the Praetorian Guard.
As the heroes of the last Southern Expedition, Fu Gong and Du Fuwei were obviously the lucky ones who no longer had to compete with others and became the leaders of the Imperial Guard. Their mission this time was to defeat the main force of the Imperial Guard and Du Fuwei.
When the Northern Zhou army faced off across the clear water, they directly took warships and broke into the enemy's east camp.
The Han army had to take a lot of risks to advance in this way. After all, the main force was Chen Bing on the west bank. Du Fuwei's soldiers who attacked together were only two to three thousand people, and in front of them, the Northern Zhou army numbered at least tens of thousands.
.Once the Northern Zhou army ignores the Han army on the west bank of Qingshui and turns its attention to Du Fuwei and others, the two to three thousand Han troops are likely to suffer heavy losses.
However, Li Xinchen, who made such a tactical arrangement, would certainly not gamble with the lives of so many guardsmen. Li Xinchen did not need to take such risks now. The reason why he dared to send people to kill from the enemy's flank was because the Huai River
The five-toothed ships on board.
The artillery on the Wuya big ship roared alternately. Any Northern Zhou army that wanted to attack the Han army would be cut apart by the cannonballs, which made it easier for the Han army to defeat them one by one.
"Look for cover!" Du Fuwei rushed ashore in three steps and two steps at a time. Only being down to earth can make people feel comfortable, especially for a northerner like him.
The Han army musketeers rushed up after Du Fuwei and leaned behind large and small bunkers. These bunkers were of all kinds, including sandbags used by the Northern Zhou army to build barriers, carts that had lost one wheel, and even
A gate-cart that was torn into several pieces by artillery shells. If these bunkers were placed on the battlefield in later generations, I am afraid they would not be of much use at all, but they were enough to protect them from arrows.
The musketeers hid behind these bunkers in twos and threes, forming a skirmish line, with their muskets pointed straight ahead. The main function of these bunkers was not only to avoid the arrows thrown by the enemy from time to time, but also to cover their bodies and prevent the enemy soldiers from detecting them.
The Han army's musketeers gathered at this location, and then launched a mass charge towards this direction.
If thousands of people really came to kill them, the Musketeers would really not be able to withstand it.
After all, shooting him to death means killing a person.
Soldiers from the Northern Zhou Dynasty continued to struggle to cross the blockade pulled up by artillery and launch attacks tenaciously. Although the shields in their hands were dilapidated and their heads and faces were covered with blood and mud, they were still on the machine.
of rushing forward.
The elite should also be the elite of Zhou people!
Du Fuwei felt that he had reason to make such a judgment.
But the elite, I am fighting the elite!
The sound of muskets came one after another. The soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty who were lucky enough to rush out, perhaps dizzy due to the impact of the artillery, were easily named one by one by the Han army at this time.
Footsteps sounded again from behind.
A large group of Han infantry had already charged forward.
The next battle will be dominated by the Han army.
However, if you want to hold the beachhead defense line easily, if you want to continue to attack forward, I'm afraid it won't be so easy.
The navy's artillery fire has become thin and extends into the distance. The Battle of Qingjiangkou is just the beginning of the Huaibei battlefield. It is impossible for the navy to throw all the artillery shells on this battlefield and use the Han soldiers to push it over.
Yes, people still have to push it through after all.
Even the Imperial Guards did not have such a bold hand in plowing the ground with simple artillery fire.
"kill!"
The Han army's crossbowmen have already advanced to the side of the musketeers. Compared with the musketeers' skirmishing line, their formation is very orderly.
