Traveler Major League

Chapter 158 Ambush
At this time, Zhang Zhicheng, who was in the hidden place on the hillside, saw that the fish on the mountain road had been caged, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he immediately ordered: "Beat the drums, and the whole army will attack!"

The officers and soldiers ambushing on the top of the hills on both sides immediately agitated, and the killing sound shook the sky. The first to show off was the officers and soldiers' blunderbuss team and small cannons such as tiger squatting guns, and some archers assisted in the battle, facing the mountain road condescendingly. The popular army fired indiscriminately.

The dense lead and arrows fell across the sky like raindrops and fell into the unsuspecting red-haired barbarians, and there was a scream. The deputy battalion commander Tang Mingnan, who was walking in the front, naturally became one of the key targets. The flag bearer, guard, and suona player behind him also fell together, and the bodies of several people were quickly shot into bushes by arrows.

After two consecutive rounds, the People's Army team, which suffered heavy casualties, began to react. A company commander shouted: "Rush forward."

These red-haired barbarians didn't care about forming a formation, and rushed forward one after another. Because of the intersection, after turning a corner, they found that there were nearly [-] Ming troops waiting in line on the mountain road ahead.

First of all, the three tiger squatting guns fired first, and the pebbles and lead bullets sprayed out like a swarm of flies. Although they were no longer afraid of the loud noise of gunpowder, their lethality was greater than that of red-haired barbarians who were unarmored and most of them were holding shields. It's still too big to say.

The red-haired man in the front row threw dozens of people down, and the formation was no longer neat, with stumps and broken arms scattered everywhere.

Behind the ranks of officers and troops blocking the way, Chief Qian Wang Wei ordered: "Fire!"

Immediately, the three rows of bird gunners immediately obeyed the order. First, the soldiers at the front fired, then retreated to the back of the line to concentrate on loading ammunition, and then the No.2 soldier stepped forward to fire, and then retreated in turn. Alternate loading and firing triples the efficiency of an arquebus that originally takes 1 minute or more to shoot once.

The continuous shooting of the blunderbuss at close range made the red-haired man who was still moving forward suddenly fall down again. Pieces of red-haired man were knocked down, and then struggled to get up but failed, but these rounds of blows were still Unable to completely defeat the red-haired barbarians who were charging forward, they frantically wanted to rush into the queue blocked by the officers and soldiers.

"Come on!" Qiao's second son roared, and rushed to the front with a big knife in his hand. In his timeline, since Liu Ze led people to attack Zhuangzi more than two months ago and divided his family wealth and land, he wanted to take revenge. Revenge, but now they are getting farther and farther away from their hometown, and they have retreated to Yan'an Mansion. At this time, the war is the time for revenge, and they can't help these remnants of crimes not to do their best.

A big knife bumped into the red-haired man in a blink of an eye. Taking advantage of his height, which was a head taller, and the length of his arms, he ignored the trusted subordinates behind him. The left shoulder was close to the back, around the right shoulder, and swept to the left. With a stab, he slashed through the space on the side of the shield. The thick, short and stocky red-haired man who was holding the round shield immediately opened a big hole in his chest, and spat out. If the blood falls on its back, it will not live.

Du Dehai and Zheng Chengdong also confronted the people's army from both sides. These two men had many rules. According to the tactics of the officers and soldiers, they stabbed with guns and stabbed with guns. There was no flaw at all. The barbarians were almost a massacre. The tide of red-haired barbarians bumped into the well-formed and armored officers, but they couldn't move. They didn't hurt at all when they were slashed by the knives. They were hacked back by the officers and soldiers. Immediately, the commoner clothes burst out, bursting into a handful of blood.

Qiao's second son also seemed to be crazy, his head was full of blood and he shouted: "Liu Ze, come out, Liu Ze, come out!"

Those who stood in their way were all killed with a single knife. Facing this killing god, the two red-haired barbarians were not afraid. Fleeing to the right, he swayed the knife at the opponent in front of him first, and then swung the knife backward. The blade encountered a slight obstacle, which was the neck bone, and continued to use the knife to turn the ring.

Then he moved the blade to the front and pushed aside the two waist knives that hadn't pierced his armor. He stood still and took a few breaths. The two red-haired barbarians with shields behind him fell down. The back of his neck was completely opened, and Bai Sensen's neck bones were clearly visible.

The red-haired savages who were still rushing forward were finally pushed back from the bend by the reef-like army formation of the officers and soldiers. Qiao's second son, who was caught in a fierce battle, retreated to the back formation after beating six people in a row to rest for a while, and finally stopped trying The courage of the common man, honestly followed the army to advance.

At this time, there was a tidal wave of shouting and killing from behind the civilian army. Qiao's second child knew that it was the rear team's ambush, and then the officers and soldiers on the top of the mountains on both sides also began to go down the mountain in a whole team. The front is still the bird gun Hands and archers, bullying these red-haired savage soldiers, fired arrows wantonly.

A group of more than a dozen red-haired men wanted to rush up the mountain to kill these bird gunners, but half of them were shot down in a blink of an eye, and the remaining few were resisted by the officer's spearmen and sword and shield soldiers, and they were all stabbed to death.

"Victory, kill them all!" Wang Wei rode his horse in front and could already see the flags of the ambush army in the rear, which meant that there were not many civilian troops left.

"Bah! These lousy perverts." In his heart, no matter where these perverts come from, those who stand in the way of the heavenly soldiers and commit rebellion should die. Seeing these more than 400 red-haired rebels being slaughtered like pigs and dogs, Wang Wei couldn't help but sneered and thought that these people are much easier to deal with than the Tartars.

Bang bang bang, a series of gunshots sounded. This is the soldiers of the artillery platoon shooting at the officers and soldiers rushing down the mountain. The continuous rapid shooting suddenly defeated the nearest group of officers and soldiers, but the ambush behind killed all the red soldiers in the rear. Mao Man is also near.

"Fuze the shells, let's fight with the officers and soldiers!" Someone shouted, and then took advantage of the delay of more than a dozen rifleman guards to open the ammunition box, and the explosive shells were quickly fuzed, because the artillery was in the car. Unable to use, several artillerymen who did not have rifles raised fuzed shells to attack the officers and soldiers by suicide.

Only the artillerymen who threw the shells under the condition of shelter can survive, but now there is no such opportunity. All the officers and soldiers are archers and bird gunners first. These artillerymen are killed and injured before they can rush forward. .

There was a bang, which was the shell detonated by the dying artillery, and the shrapnel swept across the area. Five or six officers and soldiers fell and wailed in place. The distance was not close enough to cause few casualties.

Although the riflemen were already firing at nearly full speed, this range advantage could not be fully utilized, and they were all shot and killed by the officer archers and bird gunners who entered the range in a blink of an eye.

Seeing the encirclement on all sides, the red-haired man and the soldiers of the artillery platoon were almost dead and injured. Platoon Leader Liao held the armor-piercing arrow that shot into his right arm with his left hand. Commander, don't lie to us!"

The handle of the knife in his left hand hammered hard on the fuze of the shell, and a violent explosion covered the two gun carriages, and a small mushroom cloud rose from billowing smoke and stumps.
