Chapter 972 Rotation
Guan Zheng finally realized how difficult it was for Chen Zongqi to carry out combat missions with friendly troops in the early years, and even Guan Baihu felt ten times more painful than Chen Zongqi in this regard.

The gunslingers set up three formations in a row and fought and retreated, the purpose was to stop the pursuit of the soldiers behind, and at the same time give the big flint a chance to regroup the army and withdraw from the camp in an orderly manner.

Big Flint is only half done.

Seeing the three bursts of blunderbusses repel the Huron front army chasing like waves, and hundreds of corpses fell in front of the camp, Big Flint really reorganized the formation, but he gathered more than 400 Mohawk fighters, and again Shouting and rushing up.

Even Guan Zheng's flag army fired a few rounds at a super long range... To be honest, since they joined Beiyang and got the bird guns, they never thought about firing the guns at a distance of sixty steps. Flint did it.

The effect is not bad, although not as good as within thirty steps, even if you just look at the lead pellets flying with the naked eye, you can feel them floating, but it can't hold up the Huron's dense formation.

Although there are only more than 400 people in Da Flint, many of them are still injured, but they rushed out with great momentum. The spears were thrown out in the first charge. Hundreds of them carried hunting spears and stone axes The Mohawk warriors rushed to the forefront, and the stone arrows flew into the enemy's formation whizzing overhead, so frightened that the Huron army spread out with thousands of people retreated twenty or thirty steps.

Just because there are many people but the organization is loose, it is useless most of the time.

Seeing that the people in front were overturned by the blunderbusses, the Mohawks came out again. The people in front were afraid of the blunderbuss and wanted to get out of range, but the people behind didn't know what was going on—they just Know that the front is retreating.

Therefore, retreating twenty or thirty steps in front, the entire army has retreated like a tide, and the last person has retreated fifty or sixty steps. If it weren't for the Hurons in every small square, the chieftain had room to retreat in the middle. Their line collapsed.

The morale of the two sides is different from the will to fight. For Guan Zheng and Da Flint, this is an encounter in the field, and they are ready to retreat and give up the camp; but for the Huron war leader, Chief Mad Bear, This is a siege.

You see, the Iroquois camp has a half-person-high 'stone wall' and a dark green 'longhouse' inside the stone wall. It is expected to be a difficult battle for the mad bear. It is not surprising that the enemy will rush out in this situation, and it is also very dangerous.

Just like fighting in the Central Plains, when attacking a city, you will definitely not put all your troops on the ground first, you have to test the attack to see the strength of the defenders and their will to fight; the situation is naturally different if you meet in the wilderness.

Big Flint rushed forward bravely, but he still had some ideas in his mind. After the formation of the two sides, he controlled the retreat of the Hurons. After a short fight, he retreated under the cover of his own arrows.

Right now, he is holding a long-handled stone ax at the gate of the camp, jumping repeatedly at the army formation of thousands of Hurons.

Anyway, in the eyes of Guan Zheng, who was slowly retreating, it didn't seem very smart to do such an action without the cover of the bird gun team.

The crazy performance of the big flint did not affect the breakthrough of Hulan on the left wing of the camp to the west. With the support of the cavalry, the infantry marched out of the camp and approached the enemy fifty or sixty steps against the rain of arrows. Before the enemy charged, they released two A handful of small flags and arrows, taking advantage of the rockets exploding in the enemy's hinterland, charged forward with their spears in knots.

The horse team took advantage of the situation and galloped from the two wings with bows, easily smashing the four small Huron phalanx.

This side has just been shot through by Hu Lan, and finally regrouped a hundred and ten people. Before the formation was formed, they ran into Guan Zheng's blunderbuss team head-on. They only fired a volley of guns, and there were not many people in front of them. He was dead, and Da Flint, who planned to show off his talents again later, walked away in a sad mood.

He was disappointed, but on the other side, the chief of the Huron Alliance, Crazy Bear, was directly beaten.

The solid 'wall' collapses as soon as it is pushed, and the stone-like cloth is supported by a few branches of equal length stuck in the soil. The same is true for the strong 'longhouse', which is full of thick cloth, which is left behind in the camp. Timber, food, pots and pans, and carts were some consolation to his heart.

This time, after the Mad Bear learned that the west of the alliance was invaded by the Iroquois, he immediately led his troops to help. The tribes of the Bear clan and the chasing troops from various villages gathered in one place to support [-] troops. Such troops were gathered in the north and south of the Five Great Lakes. It is almost inconceivable that the two alliances are not engaged in an all-out war.

Four thousand three hundred against one thousand six hundred, should have defeated and captured them with absolute superiority, and even recruited more than seven hundred captives, so that after half a year and a year of punishing labor, they should be able to gather Five thousand troops formed an absolute advantage over the Iroquois Alliance.

But the reality is just the opposite.

A face-to-face capture of this useless camp, except for some iron pots and two-wheeled carts, the Hurons got nothing. The Chinese army paid more than three centurions casualties, and the four centurions on the right wing were directly beaten. Gone.

Just over 20 Mohawk captives were caught.

But don't mention how irritable the chief mad bear sitting on the two-wheeled wooden cart is wearing the Mongolian-style iron armor and tying the wrong rope, which caused the right shoulder armor to cover his abdomen.

Twelve Centuries went to pursue the left flank of the camp under his order. At this time, he no longer wanted to fight the Iroquois army, so he only asked his troops to drive the enemy away, and repeatedly told the leaders of the troops not to leave the vicinity of the camp in order to find out the enemy. The situation needs timely support—he has to consider his retreat.

Before Cheng Cheng thought about the way out, the troops who were packing up the loot in the camp heard the sound of killing from the west. Guan Zheng and others led the complete army of spears, spears, birds and gun flags to send out a four-way horizontal formation. The front was wider than their twelve hundred soldiers, and they brought the exhausted Mohawk warriors back from the birch forest in a mighty way.

In the explosion of gunpowder smoke, hundreds of cavalry galloped from its flanks, galloping obliquely from the edge of the battlefield towards their northern wilderness.

This time, the riders on horseback put their bows and arrows into their pouches. Some rode spears, some slapped their horses and wielded their knives, cutting off their retreat with disturbing howling sounds.

Seeing that the twelve centurions sent to the west for expulsion could not even wait for reinforcements, they were defeated by the gunners and retreated. The mad bear was about to reorganize the army and hold on to the camp when suddenly his ears were buzzing. I heard an unusual '嗤嗤' sound in this environment. No one would care about this sound in this environment, but it lasted for a long time and was too close.

Frowning and looking around, I soon found a short small wooden tube protruding from under a birch tree. A fast burning black line protruded from the hollow of the wooden tube. The end of the black line was the opposite side of the tree cut.

Crazy Bear didn't have time to think about what this thing was. The front line was in a hurry, and the defeated clan warriors had rushed their own troops out of the gap, which usually meant that they were doomed, because the enemy army would follow the gap.

But the Ming army did not.

The four-way horizontal team advanced steadily at a ruthless pace, while continuously firing volleys of guns. In the alternating bursts of gunpowder, the panicked tribal warriors fell down in groups with their backs facing them.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise from behind the mad bear, followed by the terrifying sound of trees being snapped, and while the towering birch tree was slowly falling down, more explosions appeared in various parts of the camp, followed by the earth one after another. The ground exploded, and the extremely long giant fell to the ground with a bang, and the flying gravel blasted blood mist in the smoke and dust rising from the camp.

Rotten leaves flew in the blood mist.

The chaotic scene brought Liushenwuzhu's mad bear lineage to his mind, and he felt dizzy.

And in this whirlwind, the horse team galloping in the field leaped over the low wall with their spears, and trampled to kill them.

　Good morning!
