Yang Xiong led a group of bandits and bandits out of the camp, but they had a tacit understanding. More than 5,000 people gathered together in a noisy manner, walking forward like a snail!
Especially Yang Xiong and the other bandit leaders, everyone is riding a horse and walking in front of the team. It feels like a general going on an expedition!
Behind this group of bandits, Lu Sihai led the real Japanese pirates, composed of pirates and Japanese soldiers, who had also lined up to leave the camp. Although Lu Sihai was a pirate, he still had some skills in leading troops!
Lu Sihai had 5,000 Japanese pirates under his command, 3,000 Japanese soldiers were what the Japanese called ashigaru, and 2,000 were veterans of the sea rampage. Among the 3,000 Japanese soldiers, there were 500 archers, and the rest were Spearmen with spears!
The two thousand pirates all had swords in one hand and shields in the other, and each one looked tough and brave. Lu Sihai lined up the 2,500 spearmen at the front, 500 archers at the back, and the two thousand pirates holding swords and shields were divided into three groups. Archers lined up on both sides.
The function of this formation is very simple, it is to use spearmen to prevent the enemy from attacking, archers to shoot behind, and sword and shield men to fight hand-to-hand with the enemies who break through the spear formation!
Lu Sihai himself, with a hundred cavalry in armor, found a high hillock and formed a tent with a blue curtain. Lu Sihai sat in the middle with his big horse and golden sword, overlooking the dynamics of the entire battlefield. It's really a bit of a strategist!
Besides, those bandits and bandits didn¡¯t know that they had become the stuffing of steamed buns. They walked slowly forward for less than two or three miles when a cloud of smoke and dust appeared in front of them. These bandits were all veterans and they immediately knew that this was the enemy. It's time to fight!
Yang Xiong and several bandit leaders immediately shouted peace on their horses to calm down their subordinates!
In fact, when these bandits and bandits walked out of the camp, Cao Ling sent out Ye Wushou to keep an eye on them. These bandits and bandits had traveled two to three miles, and Cao Ling had already received five waves of notifications!
According to the information obtained from Ye Bushou, Cao Ling left only one group of military policemen as messengers. All the other military policemen, as well as Ma Qiuyang Town and Liu Kan Town, handed over all the horses to Gesleng's people, and according to the plan, Ge Ling Sileng followed behind the brigade, ready to respond at any time.
More than a thousand people from the two towns of Ma Qiuyang and Liu Kan formed a three-row musket phalanx, and 300 military policemen were responsible for controlling the ten steel tiger squatting cannons. After the phalanx was arranged, they beat the drums under the command of Cao Ling. Move forward neatly!
When more than 5,000 bandits and bandits saw Cao Ling's army, they couldn't help but feel that something was wrong, because the officers and soldiers they were familiar with should be a bunch of old farmers wearing rags, dragging their movements, and looking timid. !
However, although there are only more than a thousand officers and soldiers in front of them, these people are wearing khaki long iron-spiked cotton armor, carrying fire blunderbuss on their shoulders, which are thicker than bird blunderbuss. They have no helmets or caps on their heads, but they are all tied up. The white cloth looks like a funeral!
Originally, the bandits and bandits wanted to laugh when they saw the officers and soldiers like this, but the momentum of the officers and soldiers was like a mountain pressing down on them, making them unable to laugh at all!
A bandit leader quietly said to Yang Xiong: "Master Yang, something seems wrong with these officers and soldiers. Should we go back first?"
Yang Xiong pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "There are only more than a thousand officers and soldiers. If we just retreat like this, not only will we lose face, but when those dwarves are finished fighting, we won't be able to say anything when they are robbing the treasure. We have to fight no matter what." Let¡¯s fight later!¡±
Several bandit leaders also thought this was true, so they shouted to their men and rushed forward. However, at this time, they were still five or six hundred steps away from Cao Ling's army. It was just nonsense to charge at this time. !
Cao Ling sat on his horse, looking at the bandits who rushed over without any plan, with a scornful smile on his lips, and ordered: "Stop the army, the artillery does not move, line up the guns at fifty paces, and let Ges stand on the flank and wait for my order!"
The ordering soldier beside Cao Ling recorded his order, and then quickly went to convey the order!
Cao Ling raised the monocular again, looked at the Japanese pirate battle formation behind the bandits, and murmured: "This looks like this, and it's fun to kill!"
While Cao Ling was observing the Japanese bandits, the bandits had already rushed to a distance of fifty steps from the array, because these guys started charging at a distance of five to six hundred steps. At this distance, many people were already angry. Panting, the entire team became a mess!
"Raise the gun! Release!"
With a high-pitched command!
The first row of musketeers set up their muskets and pulled the triggers!
Bang¡ª¡ªBang¡ª¡ªBang¡ª¡ª
To be honest, the sound of muskets is not loud, it is slightly louder than firecrackers.?, even if hundreds of muskets fired in volley, there was no earth-shattering sound, but when the muskets fired, a cloud of white smoke came out!
But the power of the musket cannot be underestimated. The lead bullet pushed out of the barrel by the gas expanded by the gunpowder flies forward at an extremely fast speed and hits a person, leaving a bloody hole in it!
Of course, the aiming point of a flintlock musket cannot be seen. Even though it is at a distance of fifty steps, it is basically the same height when shooting, but the position when focusing on the target is different!
The luckier ones will have a lead bullet make a hole in their front door, and they won¡¯t know anything.
The unlucky ones will be pierced through the chest and abdomen by lead bullets. You don¡¯t know where the damn lead bullets will penetrate. You don¡¯t know where the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, intestines and stomach will be shattered. The pain is even worse than death. !
Even if it hits an arm or leg, don't think it's just a matter of drilling holes. A lead bullet is just a half-weight lead ball. Hitting the body is completely a blunt force injury. The skin, flesh, and bones will be smashed and smashed. , it¡¯s impossible to get it right!
After the first row of guns rang out, the soldiers who had fired did not pay attention to their own results. Instead, they took a step to the left neatly, turned around and walked towards the back of the team. They had to go to the last row to reload their ammunition and prepare for a new round. Round salvo!
However, the bandits who rushed at the front fell over three hundred times after the gunfire, and wailing sounds immediately began, but no one cared whether they were dead or alive, and countless big feet stepped on them!
Immediately afterwards, the second row of muskets also fired, and more than three hundred bandits were hit by lead bullets, falling to the ground and wailing miserably!
"Then the muskets from the third row rang out. This time the bandits felt that something was wrong even if they didn't realize it, because the bandits behind found that as soon as they heard a burst of explosions, there were fewer people in front of them!
Yang Xiong and the other bandit leaders, who had already hid behind, could see clearly that his men had already fallen down to less than 1,000 people without even rushing past forty steps in front of the army formation!
"The wind is blowing! The wind is blowing!" Yang Xiong said nothing, shouted a few times, then hit his horse and fled!
The same is true for several other bandit leaders. At this time, any brotherly loyalty is nonsense. Don't let those weird-looking officers and soldiers get involved. The bandits were frightened to begin with, and all their leaders ran away. , turned around and ran away without caring about anything!
Yang Xiong led a group of frightened bandits and rushed toward the Japanese pirates' formation at a speed more than ten times faster than when they arrived. In their opinion, the Japanese pirates were very powerful and would definitely be able to block the officers and soldiers behind them!
On the high hill behind the battlefield, Lu Sihai put away an old monocular telescope and said strangely: "This Ming army is very strange. They are all iron cannon ashigaru, including archers and spearmen." None, this is the first time I¡¯ve seen this kind of arrangement!¡± (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
