Chapter 57
The normal range of 100 steps was 100 steps, but Zhu Chong bought a lot of money but only 80 steps. The first time he launched, he wasted ten bullets and one swarm without even shooting the thief's side.
Now that the thief had rushed in fifty steps, Zhu Chong shouted and asked the servants to shoot out all the remaining ten cylinders and three hundred and twenty arrows.
"Damn it, you're not dead!" Zhu Chong's face turned red, with a dry and constipated expression, clenched his fists, staring at the rocket that was flying towards the thief like a group of bees.
The smoke filled the gunpowder, and each rocket carried fireworks like honey in the flowers flying busyly.
More than a hundred running thieves were instantly shrouded in the ten tides running around.
In front of the Jiutou Bird Cavalry Team escorting the formation behind the battle formation, Li Chunjiang held up a thousand-mile mirror to see all this clearly. When he saw that the thief was already shrouded in the smoke of gunpowder, he excitedly waved his fist, "I'm hit!"
Liu Jun also held a thousand-mile mirror. Without the orders of Zhao Cheng and Mei Zhihuan, he honestly led the team to guard the back team and did not take a step forward. Zhu Qianhu was actually rushing around, which surprised him a little, but what was even more surprising was that the first round was completely shot empty. Although the second round had completely covered the thieves, Liu Jun was not excited at all, but just shook his head and curled his lips and said softly, "Oh, it's all!"
"How about the eggs? What does it mean?" Li Chunjiang was puzzled.
"It's just that it's useless." Liu Jun shook his head and said. Although the sound effect is very strong when the bee is launched, in fact, the real function of this weapon is to make sound and make some chaos. To put it bluntly, the bee is actually the effect of some fireworks.
The swarms of rushing around the sky with fireworks were difficult to cause any real lethality even when facing the dense array.
"Impossible?" Li Chunjiang was shocked by the rushing momentum and did not believe Liu Jun's words. But the next moment, he suddenly saw that no bandits jumped out in the thick smoke.
The wind blew some smoke, and Li Chunjiang was surprised to see that more than a hundred bandits rushing down the mountain seemed to have no losses under the attack of two rounds of rushing.
"Well, it's not bad. I shot three, one shot arrows in the face, one shot arrow in the chest, and one shot arrow in the arm. Two died and one injured, not bad." Liu Jun held up the Qianli Jing and counted the amazing effect of the rushing attack just now at a glance.
Apart from the range of the first round, the second round was ten cylinders and 320 rockets, and finally hit three people, two died and one injured. This result surprised Liu Jun. It was not that the accidental killing was too little, but that the killing was very high in this round.
Three hundred and twenty rockets, killing two and one, Liu Jun still feels that it is high. Indeed, this kind of swarm has a very low killing effect.
Compared to Liu Jun's expected, Li Chunjiang was so shocked that he couldn't even close his mouth. He was so majestic and scary when he launched. As a result, only 320 rockets were hit by a distance of fifty steps?
"Don't be surprised. Things like rockets, whether they are single launches, thirty-two hunting, or 100 tigers running together, are actually more of a momentum. It is unrealistic to really rely on this thing to kill the enemy." Liu Jun ruthlessly attacked Li Chunjiang.
However, Zhu Chong and his military households in the garrison were even more hit than Li Chunjiang.
After watching two rounds of rushing, the thieves rushed to the front almost intact. The military households who were still cheering were so scared that they fought with their legs and their faces were no longer shy. Some even shouted, "The thief has a demon to protect their bodies!"
Then someone shouted, "Escape!"
Zhu Chong had no time to control his 150 military households, and almost all of his escaping military households turned around and fled. The escaped military households first rushed towards Zhu Chong's servants' team. The servants also turned around directly, looking at the aggressive thieves and the military households who were panicking.
"Sir, go!"
"Get back first."
Zhu Chong was hugged by his subordinates and retreated, or escaped.
Seeing Zhu Chong's Qianhu recognizing the flag and retreating, the thieves became more and more excited, and a group of useless dog officers and soldiers, kill them.
On the other hillside, Zhao Cheng's face was so gloomy that water was almost dripping. The two hundred guards set off two rounds and fleeing directly.
Mei Zhihuan seemed to be not surprised at all, "Bingxian, why not let Zhu Qianhu retreat to the side and let my people go immediately!" Mei Zhihuan was still very confident in his hometown group.
Zhao Cheng could only nod with a dark face at this time.
Mei Zhihuan waved her hand, and the flag bearer immediately began to wave the flag. The Baoshengbao Township team, which was behind the guards, began to ring trumpets and drums. The main barracks of the township regiment stepped forward, and the horse team guarded both sides.
Zhu Chong hurriedly fled to the township barracks that were slowly moving forward. Several of the fastest military households rolled and crawled to the front of the formation, and wanted to squeeze in.
Hu Gongguo, the battalion officer of the township regiment, rode his horse slowly, and looked at the miserable military households coldly. He reached his right hand to his waist, drew his sword out of the sheath, then clamped his legs with his horse's belly, galloped to the front of the queue of the military camp, swung his sword repeatedly, and cut down three military households in the garrison who were trying to rush into the front of the military camp.
Several military households fell to the ground, blood flowing.
This sudden change scared the military households who fled in a panic, and they were all there, at a loss. They couldn't figure out why their own people were killed.
Duke Hu held up his blood-stained waist knife and shouted to the military households, "Those who dare to retreat to the battlefield will be killed, and those who dare to try to rush to the formation will be killed!"
Death is more direct and effective than any military order. The military households looked at the bloody waist knife and couldn't help but retreat. Behind were fierce bandits, and in front were even more fierce local brave men, and there was no way forward and retreat.
Zhu Chong was also frightened and his face turned pale. He didn't expect that the Duke of Hu, who had the reputation of being a scholar, was so fierce, but he didn't want to turn back. At this time, his servant captain was still smart, "Sir, let's retreat to the side and gather the troops again."
Zhu Chong suddenly reacted smartly and shouted loudly, "The military horses of the garrison follow me to the left, and all the military horses of the garrison are approaching my flag!"
As he shouted this slogan, he immediately turned to the left and bypassed the army camp array that was advancing. When the other guards saw it, they also followed Qianhu's flag recognition to the side.
The bandits over there had already bit the tail of the defeated soldiers of the guard station, and were slashing and stabbing them hard, killing several guards in an instant. The second in commander saw the officers and soldiers forming another large formation. Seeing the neat formation, he felt a little relieved. However, he glanced at the escaped guards and immediately shouted with Guan Dao, "Punish them in the eye of the butt, don't let them run away."
The second head of the army was very smart. When he was following the King of Chuang, he often used a tactic, which was to avoid the real and go to the false, first attack the weakest part of the official army, and then drove these defeated soldiers to rush to their own formation. As long as they stared at the defeated soldiers and kept chasing them, they would often eventually let the official army break the official army.
Now the second in commander plans to do it again.
Zhu Chong finally ran to the left side of the war barracks. He thought he could have a chance to breathe, but who knew that when he turned around, the thief was biting their butts tightly.
Zhu Chong complained in his heart, Grandpa, why are you staring at me? There is no way, continue to retreat.
Liu Jun, holding a thousand-mile mirror, also suddenly discovered the purpose of Zhu Chong and the thief.
They all avoided the front barracks and horse teams, and walked around from the left to the front of the Nine-Headed Birds Cavalry Team of the adjut team.
"Jiye, the thief is coming towards us!" Li Chunjiang shouted.
"I saw it." Liu Jun was not nervous and worried at all. They were not fighting alone. As long as they were not stormed by the thieves, the thieves were seeking death and broke into the siege themselves. As long as the nine-headed bird blocked the thieves, the thieves turned around and turned around, and the thieves became turtles in the jar.
"Donggouzi, blow me up the military household rushing in front!" Liu Jun planned to fight for the thieves this time, but now that Zhu Chong brought the thieves to them, he had no reason to retreat.
However, he did not intend to let the military households break up their array. The Nine-Headed Bird only fought for one battle, and the training time was not long. If the array was broken up, they might not be able to block the fierce impact of the bandits.
In order to avoid this situation, Liu Jun planned to follow the example of Hu Gongguo.
Dong Gouzi looked back at Liu Jun with some confusion. The ones rushed over were the military households of the garrison, and they were real soldiers of the imperial court.
"Shoot!" Liu Jun glared at Dong Gouzi and continued to shout.
Dong Gouzi gritted his teeth and didn't hesitate. He immediately knelt on the ground with one foot, bent his feet, held a large lifting gun on a tripod bracket in his hand, opened the fire door cover, and aimed at the military household that was running in.
It was a thin man, probably about the same age as him, maybe he hadn't gotten married yet. At this time, the man's face was full of panic, and he was just running desperately.
"Amitabha!" Dong Gouzi silently recited the Buddha's name in his heart, and then pulled the trigger hard.
The next moment, a loud noise sounded, and a five-level lead bullet sprayed out, and a burst of smoke filled the barrel. Dong Gouzi couldn't see anything clearly, but he knew that he must have hit the target.
Although this was not the first time he hit the target, after pulling the trigger this time, his hands were trembling. He was not killing thieves and bandits, but he killed a guard officer and a soldier and a man of his own.
The smoke of gunpowder dissipated with the wind, and he finally saw his target's chest lying on the ground with a bright red color. The man seemed to be not dead yet and was still struggling, but he knew that the man had nothing to save. The Nine-Headed Bird's majesty was far more powerful than the bird gun. He hit the chest without armor protection directly, and the man would definitely die.
Zhu Chong urinated.
The warm urine wet his thighs. If he hadn't been sitting on the horse, he would have been slumped on the ground at this time. The servants were guarding him tightly. At this time, the servants' team leader hurriedly shouted, "Go to the left, go to the left!"
A gun shot and injured a military household in the garrison, causing none of the officers and households in the garrison to continue rushing towards the formation of the garrison, and bypassing the side with fear.
Liu Jun only disdained these scared military households and did not stop them, as long as they didn't come to rush to his formation.
