319 Artillery show off

The number of people this time was far ahead of the second time, densely packed, like an ant going up the mountain. Sun Xiong knew that this was the enemy's third attack.

No, this should be said to be Zhang Xianzhong's third official attack after aid. Speaking of the attack, Lao Hui rushed several times. Zhang Xianzhong drove the people and rushed seven times. In addition, he sent elite charges, and charged more than ten times in total. Now, he started to fight shortly after night. Looking at the sky, it is estimated that it will be dawn in half an hour. Sun Xiong gritted his teeth and waved his slightly trembling hand: "Hold it, the person is there, the position is there."

Pulling arrows is a technical job, but pulling bows is a physical job. An ordinary soldier can pull it up about twenty times, and an elite soldier can pull it away about thirty or forty times. Each of the soldiers in Wenchong troops is equipped with a special quiver pot, and there are sixty arrows in a pot. Now that the arrows are almost shot, we can see from this that these soldiers are really tired. Even Sun Xiong, who is as strong as a little bull, has smashed many big stones down because he pulled the bow and shot too many arrows, and his arms are slightly trembling.

Although it is strong, it is still a long way from those famous generals who often carry weapons weighing dozens of kilograms to kill for a day.

"There is the person, the position is there." The subordinates shouted loudly, and their morale suddenly increased.

"kill!"

"Kill all these mobs."

"Smash it hard with a stone to let them know how powerful our Sichuan Army is."

A great man from later generations said that no matter whether it is a black cat or a white cat, catching a mouse is a good cat, and the same is true on the battlefield. No matter what method is used, as long as the enemy can be brought down, it is a victory. Under the leadership of Sun Xiong and Li Dingguo, soldiers who stood on the first line of defense shot with muskets, shot with bows and arrows, smashed with stones, and fought desperately against the enemy, and their eyes were red.

Li Dingguo gritted his teeth, picked up the stone and smashed the enemy at the foot of the mountain. The small one threw it hard at the enemy, rolled down the heavy ones, and fought wherever there were many people. Although there were screams at the foot of the mountain, Li Dingguo's heart became heavier and heavier: With the defense of wooden shields and chariots, the lethality of the muskets and bows and arrows greatly reduced the effect on the enemy, which was far worse than at the beginning. Although the subordinates had already worked very hard, those people only paid the price of more than thirty people. They were already close to the position.

The visual distance is only more than ten feet.

"Pengpengpeng"

"Kill the officers and soldiers!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"Pengpengpeng"

"Kill the dog official!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

There were many people and loud voices, hundreds of people charged together. In addition, the officers and soldiers had fewer sharp arrows, and the sound of fire guns was getting sparse. The mood of the mob began to rise. There were ten taels of silver for one officer and soldier, and the first one to rush into the enemy formation was 500 taels. This temptation was quite great. When the officers and soldiers were in a slight situation, they were even more excited. So they knocked on the wooden shield in front of them with weapons, and shouted slogans to shock the enemy's courage. Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the officers and soldiers' positions, many people began to scream.

People die for money and birds die for food, and the eyes of these mobs are red.

"Captain. The quiver is empty."

"Captain, there is no gunpowder."

"His grandma's, there's no arrow. It's hard to find some stones."

The subordinates kept reporting to Sun Xiong that after a night of fierce fighting, the "ammunition" in their hands was in a hurry.

Sun Xiong stood up suddenly, turned around and picked up the big hammer he specially made, and said with a serious look: "Brothers, we'll fight with them."

Li Dingguo also raised the iron spear in his hand with a serious look on his face and shouted loudly, "There is the man, the position is there."

"There is a man, the position is here." The men were infected by the anger of the two captains. They threw down the muskets one by one, threw away the strong bow, and used weapons to roar with a solemn look on their faces.

Obeying orders is the duty of soldiers, and completing tasks is the honor of soldiers. Facing the densely packed mobs, no one is afraid, and retreats, holding weapons one by one, staring at the mobs that are about to rush forward with red eyes, like a group of hungry wolves who want to make a meal.

Kill one to make enough money, kill two to earn one.

"Woooooo...woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

At the most critical moment, a golden sound suddenly came from the mountain, which was a signal of retreat.

Sun Xiong and Li Dingguo looked at each other and nodded in a tacit understanding.

"Sir, please retreat, sir," Sun Xiong shouted.

Li Dingguo added later: "Take all the weapons with you, and your brothers, whether you are injured or dead, take them all, don't fall into the hands of the thieves and let them ruin them."

Everyone responded, some helped the wounded, some carried the bodies of their dead comrades, some packed up their weapons, and some were responsible for covering up. When the bandits rushed to the first line of defense, they successfully withdrew from the line of defense that had been holding for the whole night.

Well-trained means different, and retreat is also disorderly and orderly.

"The official dog has retired, woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"Finally take it down, brothers, chase it, see where they run."

"Kill all these dogs, officers and soldiers."

After almost a night, under Zhang Xianzhong's strong attack at all costs, Lu Haoshan lost his first defense.

Amid the cheers of the bandits at the foot of the mountain, Sun Xiong and Li Dingguo walked to Lu Haoshan with some anxiety to salute. Sun Xiong said with a shame: "Sir, I did not defend the position, please punish me."

"Please punish me, Lord." Li Dingguo also apologized with shame.

Wrong is wrong, right is right. Although there are many difficulties, the position is not kept. Under Lu Haoshan's guidance, they have no habit of finding reasons.

Lu Haoshan waved his hand and said, "That's right. You guarded all night and repelled the enemy's fourteen attacks, which has exceeded my expectations. Besides, I asked you to retreat. The position was still in your hands when retreating. Where is the lost position? Okay, get up."

"Sir Xie."

"Have the casualties counted out?" Lu Haoshan was most concerned about this matter.

Who said that I don’t have many subordinates? Besides, they all invested a lot of money to cultivate, and they couldn’t afford to lose.

Li Dingguo whispered: "Sixty-two people were injured, eight of them seriously injured, and seventeen people died in battle."

Lu Haoshan took a breath and sent two teams to guard the first line of defense, with absolute advantages in terrain and weapons. In addition, darkness was not conducive to the attack. Unexpectedly, nearly half of the casualties were in the end. If there were no such batch of muskets, the casualties would probably be even greater.

Killing one thousand enemies will damage eight hundred of them. These bandits are not made of mud.

Lu Haoshan's thoughts flashed through and immediately ordered: "Okay, take good care of the wounded and then have a good rest."

"What about us?" Sun Xiong said loudly: "Sir, I still have the strength to fight again."

"Me too," Li Dingguo immediately echoed loudly.

"You have been busy all night and should rest. There are so many enemies, so I'm afraid there is no chance?" Lu Haoshan said with a smile: "It's also time for other brothers to relax their muscles and bones. If you are tired, you should rest. If you are not tired, then watch Dashan perform on the second line of defense."

No wonder he didn't reinforce himself, at least he didn't even send someone to send him gunpowder and arrows. It turned out that the elders from home did not plan to defend the whole line of defense.

Sun Xiong said curiously: "Sir, what performance?"

"Stupid" Lu Haoshan had not spoken yet, and Li Dingguo next to him had already spoken: "Are we used our artillery as decoration?"

"boom"

"Boom...Boom boom boom"

As soon as the words were finished, the deafening sound of cannons kept ringing. In the dark, the cannon that had been hidden in the second line of defense revealed its originally hideous face and kept blasting towards the bandits who were swarming. For a moment, sand and stones flew everywhere, and flesh and blood were flying. This tiger squat cannon weighing only 36 kilograms is easy to carry. It is especially suitable for use in mountains and hills. Each time it fires, it can load 100 small lead or stones with a weight of 5 cents. When it is launched, the bullets are flying out in one go. The sound is like thunder, and the lethality and radiation range are very large. It is especially suitable for field battles, with an effective range of 500 meters. Caught off guard, the six hundred bandits suffered heavy losses. They were stunned and threw more than 200 corpses and turned around and ran away.

I just regret that my parents gave birth to two legs.

"Okay, if you explode well, you should blow these lawless guys to death." Sun Xiong, who had been hit all night, felt extremely relieved and cheered loudly.

Zhao Dingguo also said happily: "Yes, with these artillery, we have another layer of chance of winning. It is still a great idea that he built the camp on Feilai Peak and built three defenses. Otherwise, we would be very passive. According to the current situation, we can easily support the arrival of reinforcements. At that time, we can cooperate internally and externally, and we will definitely be able to wipe them out in one fell swoop."

The period for Chongzhen's order to eliminate bandits was getting closer and closer, and all the officers and soldiers went crazy to suppress bandits. It can be said that they looked for traces of these bandits everywhere and took the initiative to attack. Lu Haoshan knew that there were many active officers near Feilai Peak, which was indeed enough for them to come for reinforcements every day and night. If the situation was more optimistic, they would probably arrive at noon, so that the situation of being surrounded would be solved.

Lu Haoshan nodded and said, "This is a good thing, but you can't relax at all. The battlefield is changing rapidly. Do you still remember how I taught you?"

"Think about the good direction and think about the bad direction." Li Dingguo and Sun Xiong said in unison.

"Brother Zhang, no." Just as Lu Haoshan was discussing with his two confidants, the old Huihui at the foot of the mountain grabbed Zhang Xianzhong and said, "I didn't expect that these officers and soldiers were so cunning, and there were so many artillery items. The brothers were not prepared for the moment, so they were willing to retreat temporarily. Give them a chance."

The fire broke out so much that the bandits were so brave that they didn't know that they were so brave that they could run away one by one. But running fast does not mean they could save their lives. The furious Zhang Xianzhong blew his sword and killed a few subordinates who retreated the fastest, and ordered the supervisory team to correct all the escape. He was so scared that he quickly stopped him.

More than 300 people escaped, and these are all elites in the rebel army. Besides, these people are not all of them owned and Zhang Xianzhong. If they continue to kill like this, it is easy to get into trouble.

Most of the people who dare to rebel are the desperate people who put their heads on their waists. They really make them anxious. Maybe before the officers and soldiers come, they all fought hard. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, and faster!
