Chapter 77 Strong Grass (6)
Just as Tibbiao Zuo Battalion was reorganized and began to advance towards the main position of Nantang Camp, Tibbiao You Battalion followed the small army that had mixed military merits and stepped into the cold stream with 300 auxiliary soldiers.
The other side of the stream was bamboo forest, but the Ming army did not come over on the side of the main position near the Nantangying Road. So the Qing army began to change shoes and socks, and then wadered by the water.
When I first stepped into the stream, I felt a little cold. After all, it was already November here, and the deep winter had arrived. Even in Zhejiang, you could feel the chill. The story of the wolf in the north being frozen into a husky in the south is also suitable for the end of the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, how could the Qing army dare to fight in two layers of armor? Wouldn't they be afraid of the heat?
It was probably because of the idea of getting rid of the cold stream as soon as possible when you arrived on the other side, or based on the urging of the officers behind you, the Qing army who stepped into the water did not mean to stay for a moment, and hurriedly wade through the water and headed towards the other side.
Perhaps because he was feeling that the speed of wading forward was too slow, Xu Lei, the Thousand General of the Right Battalion, immediately asked the officers and soldiers who were still queuing on the shore to wading forward together. Anyway, although the Ming army had the intention to move here at this moment, the bamboo forest not only provided them with cover, but also blocked their attempt to move quickly. This is the case with pros and cons.
Soon, the Qing army that was wading in the deepest part of the stream, and the speed of advancement in the stream that was beyond the knee was even slower. However, although the Ming army was still advancing at this moment, it was far away from here and was enough to shoot arrows. However, when firing in this dense bamboo forest, the hit rate should not be considered. Therefore, the Ming army did not rush to attack, but continued to tighten the distance between each other and use space to increase the killing.
In the stream, the Qing army continued to move forward, and the Ming army was gradually approaching. If nothing unexpected happens, when most of the soldiers who carried out side attacks landed and changed into shoes and socks, the Ming army should also be able to reach the best attack distance.
"ah!"
Suddenly, a scream echoed through the Qing army crowd in the stream.
Immediately afterwards, such calls came one after another. Looking closely, one after another, the Qing army not only did not climb ashore when approaching the bank of the stream, but instead lay down in the stream.
Since the stream was not wide, Xu Lei, the general of the detachment of the Right Battalion, ordered a strict order to go to the other side quickly, so there were many Qing soldiers in the stream. However, after these Qing troops about to land, they also hit many Qing troops who were already stepping on smooth stones in the stream and gained unstable foothold. For a moment, the Qing troops fighting across the stream fell one after another as if they were dumplings.
Seeing this, several officers led the team hurriedly commanded other Qing troops who had not fallen to lift the Qing troops who had slid into the stream, and at the same time they also accelerated their pace to rush forward. When they approached the shore, they saw that the fallen subordinates, after being lifted up by other Qing troops, mostly lifted one foot, and then pulled out the caltrops that had pierced into the soles of their feet.
Kaltractanis?
Do you need to be so silly?
The Qing army officers led the team immediately ordered all soldiers to wade forward in anger to reduce the risk of stepping on caltrops. However, even so, the Qing army, who was still wading in the water, screamed and fell into the stream. It can be seen that the captain of the "Toy Soldier" really did not put this thing in the stream.
The Qing army continued to move forward in the stream, but this trouble really slowed down the movement speed of the Qing army. But the problem is that on the battlefield, time flies, and the slower movement is the difference between life and death. Although the Qing army is still squirming forward, the Ming army has already used the moment when the Qing army's actions stagnated to the best shooting distance.
Draw the bow, aim, shoot!
The first to enter the best shooting distance was Feng Biao, a member of the Sixth Team of the Firearms Team, who was running all the way to the front. This hunter from Simingshan, who likes to smack his lips while eating and often dreams of getting promoted and making money, had almost no shortcomings, which fully meets Chen Wen's requirements for the soldiers of the Firearms Team. Even the dream of getting promoted and making money is not a disadvantage in the eyes of his general Chen Wen. After all, the famous saying of the Continental God of War, Napoleon, who does not want to be a chef, isn't it a driver.
Since entering Nantang Camp, Feng Biao dreamed of becoming an officer. Unfortunately, when he joined the army, he had already expanded after that school competition. Although the firearms team expanded to a large extent, it was not a newcomer's turn to serve as an officer. After all, if there is no military achievements, seniority is the right way to be promoted during the expansion.
Although Feng Biao was not satisfied with the status quo, the atmosphere in Nantang Camp was excellent. Under Chen Wen's military law, the military officers did not dare to deduct military pay, and the boss did not dare to enslave subordinates. Whether in the old camp or on this road, the atmosphere of the comrades was very strong, and it was very normal for officers and soldiers to help each other, which made him feel very comfortable, at least much better than being exploited by those fur merchants.
However, from the moment he decided to join the army, he still longed to become an officer, and in this Nantang camp, there is only one way to be a military officer, that is, military merit!
The military rewards in Nantang Camp were extremely heavy. Whether it was beheading or silver rewards, they were far beyond the usual monthly salary. This idea was almost exactly the same as the Qi family army back then. Under such military rules, almost every officer and soldier was eager for the arrival of war.
In the previous battle of Siming Lake, when Nantang Camp was announced to stay in the old camp in Dalanshan, Feng Biao was the most angry among almost all the members of the firearms team. Because he firmly believed that Nantang Camp was of outstanding strength and would definitely win the first achievement in this battle, but Wang Yi's decision made the military achievements that were about to be won disappear. How could he not be angry?
Next, in the battle of Siming Lake, the Siming Mountain coalition was wiped out, and Nantang Camp turned to cover the evacuation of the people. The days of life as long as he was doing his best to do his duty were really bad. Until he was about to collapse, the news that Tibiao Camp caught up seemed to be a drop of nectar dripping into the mouth of his war madman who was about to die of boredom and thirst. He was extremely comfortable, so he could no longer care about the fact that the Qing army's strength was far greater than Nantang Camp.
Two days later, the two sides were on the road that the people of Simingshan who were heading south behind him were on the way, and Feng Biao, who was on the flank, was very dissatisfied with not being able to kill the enemy head-on. However, when he saw the formation and armor of the Qing army, he, who was not stupid, immediately discovered the benefits of the flank.
Next, Chen Wen's performance of shooting the Qing army's sharp soldiers in public and the well-made bird gun shone brightly in the sun, which really blinded his krypton gold dog eyes. It was not just a bird gun, it was clearly a pass to be remembered by the general from all over the world and then entered the fast lane of promotion and wealth.
But the problem is that he still needs to obey military orders while the commander of the flanks of Mr. Yin Qian was always unwilling to order an attack, which really made him feel itchy as if he had been scratching his heart.
After finally waiting for the arrow to fly into the sky, Feng Biao, who was squatting on the ground, immediately stood up, and came to the stream in two steps in three steps. He shot the left eye of a Qing army who had not yet been prepared for it with one arrow. He shot another Qing army's right eye with a backhand, and the next few arrows were all aimed at the front door.
The Qing army would wear two layers of armor, but there was no armor on their faces. It would be stupid to have a face without ejaculation at such a close distance.
Just as he was about to continue to expand the results of the battle, the Qing army also completed the transfer. He only had military uniforms on his body, and there was no benefit in shooting across the stream from the Qing archers in armor. Fortunately, the commander also knew this and immediately let the firearm team return to the bamboo forest, and the players protected them and shot from afar.
Although the hit rate is much lower in this way, the victory is safety. Because the Qing army is more dense in formation, the attack surface is much larger than that of the Ming army shooters hidden in the bamboo forest.
But just when Feng Biao felt that the Qing army would be as frustrated as it would be when it was so passively beaten, the Qing army's general flag actually made a sound! Although this wave of military achievements ran away like this, Feng Biao's pride and joy arose naturally when he looked at the corpses on that place.
Our old Feng is following the right person. General Chen is such a genius!
The combat power of this Nantang Camp is really fierce. The battle-produced camp opposite is a battle-produced camp. It is so easy to be beaten to no aura. If this army develops, it will not sweep the world.
By then, it would be not as simple as getting promoted and getting rich. If you don’t do it well, you can still win a wife and a child.
But before the excitement had passed, the Qing army called out some thieves and family members to take it by themselves, and then regained its morale and launched another attack. While attacking the main position, the Qing army relied on its superiority to force and actually divided its troops across the stream and came to the flank where Feng Biao was.
The intention of the Qing army was obvious, but General Yin Qian, who was in charge of flanking command, immediately issued an order to intercept the Qing army. Feng Biao, who had been waiting for this order for a long time, immediately rushed out, just like he was walking through the mountains while hunting, holding a bow and holding an arrow to a position that had been chosen to be easier to shoot.
The Qing army was slow in the stream, and the speed and rhythm of the marching were further disrupted by the pile of caltrops placed in the stream with their own eyes. Just when the Qing army came ashore for the first few Qing troops, Feng Biao had already rushed to the unblocked shooting distance.
Before his feet could stop, Feng Biao raised his hand and had an arrow. He was ready to go. The arrow directly hit the face of a Qing sabre and shield soldier who had just walked ashore, and he penetrated his mind with one arrow!
Just as Feng Biao was about to raise his hand to shoot the second arrow, he heard a buzzing sound, and an arrow flew out one after another through a bamboo, and also shot into the door. Next, the sound of bows, arrows, bird guns came one after another, resounding through the bamboo forest like a symphony.
Feng Biao knew very well that since Chen Wen took out the reward, this had already entered the competition mode. He had never observed whether others hit it, so Feng Biao shot the second arrow...
After a while, Yin Yue rushed to the front with the two whistle killers of the Yuanyang Formation. He drew his sword in his hand and blurted out anger.
"Brothers, drive the Tartars down the stream!"
The two whistle-headed killers of the Mandarin Duck Formation that had just arrived at the edge of the bamboo forest immediately began to form a formation. However, because there was still a team of archers on the other side of the stream, the Qing army had to launch an attack with the junior team. At this moment, only more than a hundred people completed the shield formation on the shore under the suppression of the firearm team in Nantangying.
The two armies were less than ten meters apart, and Lin Zhongxiao, the leader of the 21st Killer Team, was standing on the edge of the bamboo forest holding a long card, waiting for the other members of the team to gather together to form a formation.
He was originally a central army policing soldier, but during this expansion, he was transferred to the newly formed Yuanyang formation killer team to serve as the sergeant commander. This is actually more of an exception, because all the other delegated policing soldiers were appointed as captains, and only he was appointed as the sergeant commander.
Lin Zhongxiao knew very well that the initial central army squad had a total of ten people, all under the command of Chen Wen, the general of the camp. The squad's daily work was to supervise military discipline and enforce military laws, and his status was very transcendent. However, everything had pros and cons, and the words and deeds of the squad's soldiers were also supervised by Chen Wen throughout the process. So far, he was the only one who made mistakes in enforcing military laws, so it was not surprising that his position was lower than other colleagues when he was delegated.
Soon the Ming army had assembled, and formed a formation to cross the edge of the bamboo forest to advance towards the stream, while the Qing army also gathered more soldiers, and the two sides quickly collided. Relying on the advantage of two brand-name players in the third ranks to protect the back row, the Ming army reduced the damage it suffered while immediately suppressing the Qing army's attempt to expand the shore position to accommodate more subsequent Qing army.
But at this moment, the Qing army archers on the other side immediately gave up shooting with the Ming munitions teams that were more threatening to them in the bamboo forest, and instead shot the Ming army infantry with closer distances.
Lin Zhongxiao immediately felt that he was unable to clone his clones. At this time, the Qing army's infantry also accelerated the pace of the attack.
For a moment, the situation of the Ming army, who was struggling, took a sharp turn for the worse!
The Qing army had a great advantage in its military strength, and the same was true for the flanking Qing army. As the Qing army continued to rush ashore under the whip of the officers behind it, the two posts of Nantangying began to retreat continuously because they were not wearing armor, facing the attacks of Qing army infantry and archers.
Soon, the two sentries retreated into the bamboo forest and tried to rely on the bamboo forest for defense. The Qing army also all boarded the shore, and arranged the attacks of the Ming munitions team on the limited open space on the shore.
As the Ming army retreated into the bamboo forest, the attacks of the Qing army's archers were greatly restricted. Although the number of shooters on both sides was almost the same, the Qing army's archers were trained longer and more elite, and had a greater advantage over the terrain disadvantage, the Ming army's attack target was completely blocked, and the Qing army's shooting was very likely to be blocked by bamboo.
Such passive beatings will not last long. The Qing army launched a charge towards the bamboo forest at the command of the officers at the moment of completing the formation. Since the Ming army had already retreated into the depths of the bamboo forest, the Qing army's infantry quickly entered the bamboo forest.
"The Tartars are fooled, brothers, attack freely based on the troops!"
After shouting this sentence, Yin Yue, who was responsible for the command of the flank, was full of pleasure. When Chen Wen explained "The Art of War", although his use of the terrain was far less detailed than other aspects, the words he lamented when he was training that the Mandarin Duck Formation was more suitable for narrow terrain were remembered by him, who had always been quite clever.
The bamboo forests here are not artificially cultivated, but are purely wild growth. Not only are the ground uneven, the distribution of bamboo is also very chaotic. Although the Qing army, which formed a formation and was well-trained and well-divided, was not too severely divided, the formation was difficult to maintain.
Unlike the cavalry and other cliques, infantry emphasizes no formation without fighting. Like the gangster-style fighting scenes in later TV series, it is almost impossible to appear in real regular army combat, because any general knows the difference between a formation and a formation without a formation. Only refugees or cults who do not understand military tactics will do this.
Due to the obstruction of the stream, there were very few Qing army archers who came together. Even though the auxiliary forces of the war were still far greater than those of the flank troops of the Ming army, the formation no longer existed and there was a lack of archers. How could it be the opponent of the Mandarin Duck Formation in the narrow terrain blocked by bamboo?
Hearing the order, the Ming army infantry in the bamboo forest immediately changed their formation again. The Xiaosancai formation is an offensive formation in which each team is in a shape of two sagittals. In this terrain, it can be used as a team or as a unit, which is very flexible.
On the other hand, although the Qing army was still trying hard to maintain its formation, the bamboos still cut the Qing army into an overall formation in the rocks in the bamboo forest. There were dozens of people in the Qing army here, and at least a dozen people were not as skilled as the Mandarin Duck Formation in this bamboo forest.
As the leader of the 21st Killer Team, Lin Zhongxiao is the first squad leader in the team after the captain. This not only meets his former identity as a polite soldier, but also meets the provision that two squad leaders in each team in the Yuanyang formation should respect long cards.
Due to the terrain, the 21st Killer Team here has been divided into two ves with a distance of only more than two meters. The captain did not stand in the middle to command the entire team, but assisted the other ves in combat. The ves where Lin Zhongxiao is located is naturally commanded by him.
In the bamboo forest, it is not conducive to the player's attack, but mainly because he will touch the bamboo if he is not careful when waving the waist knife, and he will be removed from the bamboo and even cut it on the bamboo to become a living target. However, the mandarin duck formation emphasizes the word "cooperation". In battle, players, especially long players, only need to escort the team members behind the back and push the battle formation forward, and the killing of the enemy is handed over to other players.
With a "dou!", Lin Zhongxiao on the right side of the army held a long card to block the slash of the sword and shield soldier on the opposite side, and then he immediately swung his sword to attack the enemy in front of him. With his attack, a spearman beside him immediately formed a smaller combat combination with him, and without much effort, he forced the Qing army soldiers who were in a single situation to have no choice but to fight back.
At the same time, the wolf wielder in his rank also turned his attention to other Qing troops who were trying to assist the sword and shield soldiers in attack, disrupting the attack of these people. The palladium boring and another spearman on the left side of the army were trying to break the formation before attacking another Qing sabre and shield soldiers who were trying to break the formation before advancing near.
"kill!"
The spearman shouted angrily, and the Qing army, who was blocked by the weapon, had to rely on the shield to assassinate the spear. However, the two men on the Ming army were much more powerful than his own. The spearman immediately pushed him to the ground, and then assassinated again with the spearman and the palladium boring hand. The Qing soldiers who were blocked by bamboo were immediately stabbed to death on the ground and lost their rest.
At this moment, Lin Zhongxiao, who had already approached the Qing army, heard a "buzzing" sound, and an arrow flew past his ear and penetrated into the Qing army's face.
"The eleventh!"
In order to distinguish the shooters who shot the enemy, the archers of the Firearms team had different marks on the shafts of the thirty arrows they carried with them. For example, Feng Biao's arrows were six horizontal bars to indicate his team, and a circle added to mark him.
Seeing that the bird gun was getting closer and closer, Feng Biao became more focused and shot every Qing army he noticed. At this moment, Lin Zhongxiao was not angry at the unhappy of the cooked duck being snatched away, because another Qing army had rushed to him...
The confrontation between the Ming and Qing dynasties in the bamboo forest quickly ended. As most of the front row of the Qing army were swept away by the Ming army, the remaining soldiers and auxiliary soldiers no longer dared to move forward.
At this moment, Yin Yue, the general general of the Ming army, who was responsible for the flanking command, shouted angrily. The Ming army did not even need to change its formation and launched an attack directly. But this time, the Qing army from the Tibby Right Battalion no longer had the fighting spirit to continue fighting, and instead threw down their weapons and fled. The ones faster than them were the auxiliary soldiers behind the queue.
In the bamboo forest, the Qing army was fleeing towards the north of the bamboo forest where it was landing. The Qing army close to the stream ran directly to try to cross the stream and escape from the sky. Behind them, the Ming army pursued them closely in order to completely annihilate the Qing army, which was still above them at this moment.
Chapter completed!
