Chapter 158 157 Charge

The team of the right army of Jiujiang Guard Qianhu Station is moving forward quickly.

"Dadada" There was a rapid sound of horse hooves, and two war horses ran past the queue with arrows inserted into them, as if they were bringing them bad information.

Wu Zhankui and Wei Meng from behind found two empty horses running back from a distance. They felt a little shocked, and then two more knights came to the horses.

While instructing the personal soldiers to stop the two horses, they urged the horses to move forward and greeted the personal soldiers who came to send the message.

"The Japanese pirates suddenly turned back and attacked the rear army. Our army was unprepared and the front army was broken."

The sound of the horse came before it arrived.

Wu Zhankui frowned. He didn't expect that in just a short while, the two hundred-house soldiers in front would collapse.

When he thought that when he saw the Ming army chasing him, this group of Japanese pirates should have been panicked and would even fight back, which was unexpected.

Before he could think too much, Wei Meng said to him: "Zhankui, I will go to the front to complete the team, and I can only shrink the formation to prevent the queue from being dispersed by the people from the rear."

"good."

Wu Zhankui nodded in agreement, and Wei Meng immediately drove his horse forward.

Wei Guangde opened his mouth behind him, but he didn't say anything. His father had already run away, and four personal soldiers followed closely behind him.

Here, not far from the left is Taihu Lake. When Wu Zhankui saw Wei Meng going up to the whole team, he immediately ordered the twenty knights behind him to move to the right, intending to block the way for the Japanese pirates to flee west.

Either you return to Yixing on the same road, or you go to Taihu Lake to play in the water.

At the same time, he called the gunners of the four wheelbarrows behind him, "Go up and put the guns on the front of the military formation."

Wei Guangde didn't have the time to think about those iron cannons, just staring at his father's figure.

He rode forward, and stopped for a moment when he passed by Wu Dong and Wei Wencai, and said something to them.

But obviously, my cousin and my elder brother were a little resistant, and then it seemed that they were scolded by Mr. Wei.

Then

Then both of them retreated to the back, retreated behind Wu Zhankui, and stood with Wei Guangde and Zhang Hongfu.

Dad, I still don’t want my nephew to take risks in front of me.

Soon, soldiers wearing mandarin duck war jackets came rushing in front of them, all of whom were from the two hundred households of the Qianhu Sect of the Back Army.

At the same time, people began to shout in unison in the formation ahead, "Run to both sides."

Wei Guangde has noticed that the rows of bird gunners in the front all picked up the bird guns, and the back was the archer, and then the gun shield.

But their shouts did not seem to work, and the soldiers rushed towards them in panic.

Perhaps, in their eyes, it is safe to rush into the queue.

"I wonder if the Japanese pirates are following?"

Zhang Hongfu, who was on the other side, suddenly muttered in Wei Guangde's ear.

Wei Guangde shook his head and did not answer, but just stared forward with his eyes wide open.

"Bowman ready."

From afar, Mr. Wei's shouts came into Wei Guangde's ears, and he wanted to use random arrows to scatter these defeated soldiers.

However, no one noticed that Wei Guangde saw that his father had already arrived next to Duan Da, bent down and said something in his ear.

Then there was another loud shout: "The bird gunman squatted down and shot arrows."

As soon as the words fell, more than twenty arrows flew out from the formation, most of which were parabola. The purpose was naturally not to hurt people, but to intimidate these defeated soldiers and prevent them from rushing to the military formation.

only

Wei Guangde suddenly had his eyes condensed. He noticed that among the arrows flying out of his army, a sharp arrow shot out flat.

In an instant, Wei Guangde noticed that one of the people in front of the defeated soldiers was dressed differently than the soldiers around him.

Well, the biggest difference is that the man's hair was scattered at this time, and he obviously lost his helmet to escape.

At this moment, the arrows shot by the archer of the Right Army had already flew past the crowd in front, and then there were bursts of howlings behind the crowd, and some Ming soldiers were still shot by the arrows.

In Wei Guangde's eyes, what he could see was the person with a scattered bun, who seemed to pause while running and then fell down softly.

Several personal soldiers beside him wanted to help him up and continue running, but in a blink of an eye he left him and ran away.

Wei Guangde blinked quickly and relied on his memory to find the archer who was shooting a flat arrow, but he could no longer remember which position the arrow was shot.

After a rain of arrows, amid the constant noise of the Right Army, the defeated soldiers finally began to separate to both sides and ran towards the open space on both sides.

"Japanese pirates."

At this moment, Wei Guangde heard Zhang Hongfu's scream again.

Wei Guangde also saw dozens of short and strong people behind the soldiers separated from each other.

“It’s really short.”

When Wei Guangde saw these people, his first impression was that the articles on the Internet in later generations did not talk nonsense, and the Japanese were indeed very short.

The second feeling is that I feel a little panicked. I'm really hitting the Japanese pirates.

Before, before, before seeing the Japanese pirates, Wei Guangde could give advice on how to pacify these Japanese pirates.

However, when the Japanese pirates appeared in front of him, Wei Guangde's body couldn't help but tremble a little.

Zhang Hongfu, who was screaming just now, was almost the same as Wei Guangde, who was almost the same as that.

Perhaps, Wu Dong and Wei Wencai were quite calm, just strangled the reins of the horse and stared at the front.

However, the most depressing thing at this time may be the war horse under the crotch of several people. The reins kept shaking, making them unable to figure out what the owner on their backs was going to make a fuss.

The two teams of soldiers were not far away from each other. The Japanese pirates defeated the two hundred-house teams of the Qianhu Office of the Later Army with just one charge, and then chased after them. However, they didn't expect that if there were no more people killed, arrows flew over.

They all stopped and knew that the Ming army's rear team was here again.

After the Ming army fleeing in front separated from each other, they saw that the Ming army behind them was still very small, which was more than 200 and 300 people.

Having just broken down such a team, the current Japanese pirates naturally disdained the newly emerging team.

To rush or not?

This is a difficult problem facing the Japanese pirate leader.

What if there is any future if this Ming army is destroyed?

They are now worried that they will be dragged by the Ming army and then surrounded.

"The Ming army has not had any combat power. It has been encountered and can only destroy them. They dare not chase us again."

"Yes, kill them, kill them directly through their queues, continue walking northward, and when we reach the Yangtze River, we will be fine."

After a few conversations, the Japanese pirate team started again, thinking that the team from the Qianhu Institute of the Right Army rushed over.

"The bird gunner is ready, and immediately retreat to the back of the formation after the fight."

Wei Meng continued to stand in front and issue orders, and arranged for the bird gunner to retreat immediately after shooting the bird gun.

The only one who truly resisted the Japanese pirates' charge was the sword and shield, but the positions of the two teams were indeed reversed at this moment.

Before, Wei Meng was worried that changing the formation would cause chaos in the formation, so he did not dare to adjust the queue at all.

After the gunman finishes the gun, he retreats from both sides to the back of the formation, so that the gun shield and the archer come up.

In fact, the main reason is that there are not many people bullying the Japanese pirates, only about fifty people. It seems that when they attacked the troops of the Qianhu House of the Later Army, they did not cause any losses.

After more than a hundred bird guns, it should be enough for the Japanese pirates to drink a pot.

Wei Meng planned and did this.

After seeing the Japanese pirates rushing up, they suddenly called out the squatting bird gunman.

At his instructions, the little flag official pulled out his waist knife and slashed forward, shouting: "First row, shoot."

As the smoke in front of the formation filled the guns and after a "bang bang bang" sounded, the twelve gunmen in the front row held the bird guns and immediately stepped left and right to retreat from both sides to the formation and reloaded.

Immediately afterwards, the second row and the third row of gunners gradually fired the bird gun in their hands, regardless of whether they were hit or not, they immediately trotted from both sides to the rear.

These days, bird guns are colloid guns, and the fire silence rate is not small. After more than 100 bird guns are shot, there will always be a few or more than ten shots that cannot be fired. This requires the position of the fuse head.

The smoke and dust blocked Wei Guangde and the others' vision. The situation of the Japanese pirates ahead was a little difficult to see clearly, but Wei Meng, who was in front, could indeed see clearly. There were about twenty Japanese pirates falling down, and about thirty people.

Amid the fierce sound of bird guns, the charge of the Japanese pirates were also stunned.

The first Ming army, when they rushed up, the musketeers were still loading bullets, and the military formation was easily broken through, but why is this Ming army a little different from the previous ones?

Nearly half of the manpower was lost in one go, and the leader of the Japanese pirates was also panicked.

Even if you escape this time, you may not be able to escape the path of annexation by other Japanese pirate gangs.

The Japanese pirates were just panicked for a while, and for a short time, they turned suddenly and rushed towards the direction of the running of the Ming army that had fled before.

Only by mingling in the Ming army will this Ming army be cautious, but now they are a little far away from the Ming army, and it takes a lot of time to catch up.

Fortunately, they also knew that it took a long time to recharge the firearm. There was still a way out when they rushed over. If they ran back, they would only be bitten by the Ming army, and it would be difficult to turn over again.

Wei Guangde and Zhang Hongfu found that the Japanese pirates were not rushing, but instead chased the Ming army running to the left, and were both a little nervous.
