Daming kill

Chapter 131

Li Ping became nervous again as the enemy army rushed towards him.

At this time, there were almost a thousand people surrounded by the entire Yangpitan river, and a steady stream of enemy soldiers were stepping into the river one after another.

At the front are more than 100 cavalry, followed by dozens of rafts and bamboo rafts crowded with people, and many cavalry are also mixed in, and the last one is a large number of wading infantry.

Among the infantrymen of the Peasant Army who waded through the water was a young man named Luo Xiaoliu.He was thin, slightly tall, with a blue turban wrapped around his head, holding a spear tightly in his hand and rushed to the front of the infantry line.

If you look carefully, you can find that the spear in Luo Xiaoliu's hand is very attractive and easy to handle. The spear shaft is straight and tough, and there are red tassels tied on it.

Although the red tassels were a little faded, they were still much stronger than those crudely made spears.

This spear was obtained by Luo Xiaoliu from an officer in a battle more than a month ago, and he liked it very much.

Luo Xiaoliu basically didn't see the friendly army's attack in front just now. There were too many people and he couldn't stand in front, so of course he couldn't see anything.

All he heard was the sound of firing blunderbusses and small cannons.

Luo Xiaoliu didn't feel much about the movement of the firearm at all.Although he has only been in the group for a little over half a year, he has seen battles much bigger than this one several times, and that's what happened.

He knew in his heart that this firearm sounds scary, but it is actually not that scary. Anyway, it is not as scary as bows and arrows and cavalry, and it is still far behind.

Luo Xiaoliu also felt that the previous attack was weak.

In wars, the winner is rarely determined in one round, not to mention the knights who passed the message back and forth in front of the battle just now can clearly explain that the setback was only due to the fact that fewer people were sent and the enemy was underestimated.

There are not many officers and soldiers on the opposite side. This time, as long as everyone goes up together, don't be cowardly, it will definitely work.

However, Luo Xiaoliu did not fully believe what the knights said.

If it was really that simple, wouldn't it be necessary to make a promise to rush over and be promoted to the third level and transferred to the old battalion?Although this is the consistent motivation method of the rebels, such a high promise is rare, which makes people desperate.

Luo Xiaoliu understood it, but he also screamed excitedly like the companions around him.

Do those so-called companions also understand the weirdness of today's high reward, Luo Xiaoliu is not interested, he really cares about being promoted to three levels and being transferred to the old camp.

Whether it is alive or not, Luo Xiaoliu is forced to look away if he doesn't want to. It doesn't mean he can live for a long time, so he might as well fight for his life.

If you want to eat well and dress well, you have to take risks. There will be no pies in the sky.

If you can enter the old camp without dying, not only will you not have to worry about eating and drinking, but your chances of surviving will be higher.

It is much better than now that I can only eat half full every day, do all kinds of work, and be a pioneer whenever there is a war, and I don’t even have cotton clothes to wear.

As for the contradiction between being promoted to the third level and being transferred to the old battalion, he didn't bother to think about it.There is no way to deceive people, the rebels place the highest value on promises, otherwise who would follow them to rebel.

But Luo Xiaoliu's luck seems to be not very good. Their battalion received the order relatively late, so they didn't grab the raft and bamboo raft, so they had to wade by themselves.

At first the water was shallow, and everyone was able to jog or walk quickly in the water, but slowly, Luo Xiaoliu and his companions could only stagger in the water step by step.

The water is too fucking cold!And if the water is out of the calf, I really can't run.

Luo Xiaoliu hadn't felt the impulse just now when he was feeling strong, but now Luo Xiaoliu was already trembling all over, especially after the wet pants stuck to his thighs that hadn't entered the water, when the wind blew, it was so sour.

But Luo Xiaoliu still gritted his teeth and persisted, and he gripped the spear even tighter.

If you don't fight, you will never have anything.

As time passed, Luo Xiaoliu felt that his legs were no longer his own, it was really too cold.

He could only keep yelling "ah" and "kill" loudly to increase his determination and will.

Soon he found that the cavalry and various rafts in front seemed to slow down obviously, and they seemed to be gathering more closely, and someone kept shouting: "Let's charge together", "Let's charge together", "Don't worry"... …

At this moment, a neighing horse ahead caught Luo Xiaoliu's attention.

Through the many gaps, Luo Xiaoliu observed that the horse was jumping left and right, as if trying to get rid of something, and caused serious confusion among the surrounding horses and rafts, and then more horses began to jump.

A cavalryman was thrown off immediately.

"No, I can't take it anymore, I really can't take it anymore..." Someone behind Luo Xiaoliu suddenly started to shout.

Luo Xiaoliu turned his head and saw a thin and small man stopped moving forward and started to back up, the water was almost up to his chest.

That little man was doomed, Luo Xiaoliu knew very well what would happen to that little man.

On the battlefield, if you don't advance, you have to die.

Luo Xiaoliu didn't try to persuade him, and he wasn't even interested in it. He didn't know that guy very well.So, he quickly turned his head, he wanted to know the current situation of the cavalry.

Because as long as they can rush up, the battle is half won.

But the situation of the cavalry seemed to be very bad. They had basically stopped advancing and retreated chaotically. Some horses were obviously out of control.

This should be when the cavalry began to enter waters with a depth of more than 1 meter.

Since Mongolian horses are generally short, with an average shoulder height of only about 1 meters, once the cold water reaches the horse's belly, even they are known for their cold resistance. After all, they are generally delicate animals.

It took almost an instant from the restlessness of the first few horses to the collective violent resistance of the entire herd, and it was completely impossible to suppress.

The cavalry could only withdraw.

The confusion and withdrawal of the cavalry at the front caused total chaos on the rafts and bamboo rafts, and even more chaos on the infantry behind.

At this time, a few scolding sounds and a long scream came from behind.

Luo Xiaoliu didn't look back this time, he already knew what was posted later, he wasn't interested, and now he needs to care about himself more.

The longer a person soaks in cold water, the longer the patience will be, of course, they will almost freeze to death. Who cares about attacking formations and the like.

Many infantrymen in the water scolded their mothers loudly, and kept yelling to tell the front to hurry up, and don't be careless.

Luo Xiaoliu's lips were already green, and he looked at the chaos in front of him and kept cursing in his heart: "Go up, go up, if you don't fucking go up, I won't be able to stand it anymore."

Amidst a burst of chaotic and chaotic shouts, the third wave of the peasant army's attack finally entered the range of the officer's guns very irregularly.

It's just that there are huge bumps everywhere on the more than 300-meter horizontal plane.

The whistle sounded, and then: salvo—scatter—bombardment—scatter...

This round of blocking by the officers and soldiers is not much different from the previous round, the only difference is that the firepower is smoother than before.

The entire distance of 100 to [-] meters in front of the officer's army completely became a death harvest area for the peasant army, and the river was soon dyed red.

Each of the blunderbuss soldiers fired seven lead shots, but they still couldn't stop the peasant army from advancing forward. All the rafts and bamboo rafts had already been beaten to the point where no one was standing, but the enemy's infantry were still advancing. Fuck to death.

Some enemy infantry even fell into the water by themselves, and then jumped in the water as if they were startled, without the officers and soldiers fighting, and soon stopped moving.

The river water is too cold, it is estimated that there is no need to fight, and it is impossible for many weak infantrymen who waded through the water to walk over.

When the enemy's cavalry began to retreat, Li Ping ordered the officers and soldiers of the reconnaissance company who had not seen blood but could use bows and arrows (the veterans kept vigilance and backup) to get off their horses and go to the bank to shoot together with bows and arrows.

It wasn't that Li Ping was worried that the enemy would rush over, but that Li Ping believed that the enemy was no longer a threat.

But such a good opportunity to shoot a live target is too rare, especially for those who have never fought, this is a good opportunity to see blood.

And the reconnaissance company needs experience very, very much.

He only fired three arrows quickly, and after seeing that two people were knocked down, Ma Yong stopped shooting. He began to walk along the shore and shouted loudly to guide the immature shooters in the reconnaissance company, completely unafraid of possible danger.

Seeing this, the officers of the bird gun unit also walked out of the low wooden wall, and tried to better perform their functions as officers.

The whistle is not the only means of commanding the blunderbuss troops. The command knife is equally important, especially when the voice is noisy and difficult to distinguish.

Luo Xiaoliu intuitively felt that the officers and soldiers in front of him were a bit unusual, it was very different from the officers and soldiers he had seen before.

It's not just that the officers and soldiers on the opposite side rarely used trumpets to command the blunderbuss soldiers, but instead used a strange musical instrument they hadn't heard before. The real difference was that they were too calm.

Standing in the water, Luo Xiaoliu could clearly see the people on the raft in front of him falling down one by one. The water seemed to be boiling, and there were screams and howls everywhere.The officers and soldiers seem to be very confident and shoot closer, and give you a shot at close range.

Bite the bullet, Luo Xiaoliu finally entered the shooting range of the blunderbuss.

When there was no cover in front, Luo Xiaoliu could see clearly.

There were really not many guns on the opposite side, and the distance was not far away, but they advanced so slowly that the officers and soldiers could calmly fight several rounds before they approached.

And at such a short distance, it is difficult for you not to die.

This motherfucker is really dying, there are too many people to use the ball, and then it is basically impossible to retreat.

I can only give it a hand and see if there is a miracle.

Now, Luo Xiaoliu is surrounded by blood mist and red river water, and the people around him often disappear in an instant.After walking through such a long and icy river, people are already numb, and death seems to be the same as death, and I don’t want to scream anymore.

Damn, the people on the raft can still shout twice before they die!

Strangely, Luo Xiaoliu walked a certain distance under the firepower of the officers and soldiers, and there was no one in front of him.

Through the gap of the drifting smoke, he could even distinguish the eyes of the officers and soldiers facing him, but he was miraculously unscathed.

Luo Xiaoliu could also clearly see the splashes left by several lead bullets in the water around him, and a bow and arrow almost passed by his ear, leaving behind a "whoosh".

Suddenly, a bamboo raft with a dead body floated in front of his eyes, Luo Xiaoliu didn't even think about it, a sudden force rose up, and he climbed up immediately.

Luo Xiaoliu didn't want to be frozen to death in the river, so he lay down on the bamboo raft like that, not wanting to move.

Slowly, the sound of blunderbusses and cannons became less and less, and the peasant army was less and less within range. The entire river surface was full of floating corpses, rafts and bamboo rafts floating around.

The peasant army behind finally stopped rushing forward and began to retreat, but some continued to move forward numbly, maybe they were frozen stupid.

The sporadic gunshots continued for a while, and Ma Yong ordered all shooting to stop. It was useless to fight such scattered fools.

Many soldiers of the Peasant Army who were retreating continued to fall in the river even after the sound of the guns stopped. They were all frozen.

There may still be life in rushing over, and if you go back and forth, it is estimated that there are not many people who can go back.

Many spearmen and sword players in the back row on the bank also rushed out, and they looked at the miserable scene in the river stupidly along the bank.

Although they are not used, it is also a kind of baptism.

From a high place, watching the retreating enemy soldiers like the tide, watching the retreating enemy soldiers continue to fall one after another in the cold river water, Li Ping thought that today's battle should be over.

The enemy no longer has many vehicles to cross the river, and it is meaningless for them to continue sending heads.

Notes:

In the original history, Prime Minister Hui Deng used firearms to repel the peasant army trying to cross the river. "The depth of the water and the belly of the horse" was one of the important reasons why the peasant army could not carry out forced crossing at that time.

But which army was the peasant army attacking Yangpitan?What tactics are used?Not enough information was found.Therefore, in this article, it is given to Luo Rucai to highlight the combat characteristics of Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai.
