Chapter 889 Banzai!
It is not in vain for months of hard practice, and the silver that is like flowing water every day is not in vain.
The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty Emperor's Army had very high gun strike efficiency, effectively killing and forming a group of Nandu coalitions in multiple locations. Among them, Shenji Battalion suffered the largest losses, with more than 300 casualties.
Faced with the constant sound of guns on both sides and the mines that were thrown from the slope from time to time and exploded at any time, the remaining troops of the Shenji Camp had no courage to stand up and raise guns to shoot, besides finding a place to hide.
Many soldiers even lie on the ground, hug their heads, and no matter how the officers around them shouted, they couldn't wake up. Not to mention, although they looked embarrassed, they could really save their lives.
The enemy soldiers above no longer fired volleys, and the sound of guns was no longer dense. It was obvious that the soldiers were shooting at will. They seemed to have commanded, only attacking those who gathered in groups or had the courage to stand up and resist, and ignored those who were lying still.
As a result, no one of the soldiers from Shenji Camp knew how to do it. Not long after, they fell down one by one on the way.
Li Zhaoji, deputy general of the Shenji Camp, participated in the Battle of Pingbo, and had seen people killing blood on the battlefield. Seeing that his subordinates were so unbearable, he wanted to vomit blood.
He tried to gather some of the soldiers to rush to the left slope, but after less than a hundred people gathered, he was dispersed by the Wei eunuchs above. He had no choice but to hide behind a pile of soil under the protection of his personal soldiers.
At this moment, Li Zhaoji didn't care about the Marquis of Fengcheng behind him. His only hope now was that the soldiers of the Duke of Wei's mansion in front could come back to pick them up.
.....
The soldiers of the Duke of Wei’s Mansion still don’t know why they came out, but the people behind them couldn’t.
Didn’t eunuch Wei rob the property of the Duke’s Mansion?
The soldiers could not guess the reason, and the Xu De and his family could not guess how they could not guess.
Obviously, this is going to hit the head and waist and pinch the tail.
The Nandu coalition forces are like a long snake. If they hit their heads, the snake's body must retreat. If they hit their tails, the snake's head can swim with their body, so they can only hit their waists and seven inches, and divide the long snake into three so that the heads and tails cannot be looked at each other. Once the waist is broken, the long snake will die.
Then Wei Yin was an expert in military use!
Xu De had a dark face and looked at the Shenji Camp that was being beaten up by the eunuch Wei, and he had no other choice but to bring people back to help.
This is also a fight to return to help. Not only the soldiers from Shenji Camp and Shenwu Camp, but also the Marquis of Fengcheng!
If the Marquis of Fengcheng was dismissed, Xu De would bring back a lot of the soldiers from the Duke's Mansion, but I was afraid that the Duke would ask for his head.
"Don't be standing there, go back and save the Marquis!"
Xu De drew his sword and shouted, but found that Xu Guang, Xu Xing and others did not move. He couldn't help but glared at them and cursed: "If you and Hou of Fengcheng, you can't save your head!"
After hearing this, Xu Guang and Xu Xing looked at each other with a bitter look and knew that they could not escape this time, so they gritted their teeth and rushed up.
………………
The personal guards who were observing the war on the slope saw the fleeing soldiers of the Nandu suddenly turned around and hurriedly reported: "Report to the Duke of Wei, the people of Duke of Wei's mansion have returned to help!"
"I'm just treating our kindness as a donkey."
The father-in-law waved his hand and signaled that Odabe, who was suppressing the Shenji Camp, was signaling him.
The signal was the smoke bomb used by the Jinyiwei, and with a "whoosh" sound, it rose to the sky like a dragon drilling into the sky.
After a while, a cigarette cartridge was also launched over Odabe, and a pennant signal was sent out, indicating that the enemy was known.
"Brother-in-law, let's get on!"
Tian Gang looked at the soldiers from the Duke of Wei's Mansion in front of him and was afraid of something going on, so he hurriedly asked Eunuch Wei for a fight, hoping to lead his Jinyiwei to reinforce Oda's army, so as not to rush out in the chaos, causing the encirclement and annihilation plan to fail.
"How can the emperor personally move without any action?"
But Eunuch Wei waved his hand and said no, saying that his personal guard camp was full of Zhu Tu warriors, and officers and others were even more powerful generals of the imperial state. The only soldiers of the Duke of Wei's mansion were not worth fighting.
"Dad, the family soldiers of those Duke's Mansion are not weak..."
Tian Gang could see clearly that the family soldiers of the Duke's Mansion brought at least 300 muskets, while the father-in-law's personal guard camp had less than 500 people. He had to divide his troops to suppress the Shenji camp. It would be a bit tight to fight on both sides.
But my father-in-law smiled confidently and said that this was the time to train troops.
Tian Gang couldn't ask for a fight, and was quite disappointed.
My father-in-law saw it, but it was inconvenient to tell the real reason.
The Jinyiwei is the personal army of the emperor, and it is not used to charge forward. If the manpower is damaged, it would be difficult for him, the eunuch, to explain to the court.
Moreover, the Jinyiwei has a more important task, which is to protect him, Eunuch Wei. With these hundreds of Jinyiwei guards, even if the Fengcheng Hou comes to fight back and kills him, Eunuch Wei, he will not be able to kill him.
The emperor's personal army is also a life amulet.
Of course, this reason must not be revealed, otherwise it would seem that my father-in-law would be timid.
………….
"Ojima-kun, please!"
Oda handed his sabre to Oshima Yuu Galli.
"Imperial Ming, martial arts fortune lasts for a long time!"
When Dashima took the command knife and turned around, 150 imperial officers and soldiers had gathered. With a "boom", they gathered together and closed their neck legs. Muskets, which were about the same height as others, were carried straight on their shoulders. Under the muzzle at the top, they were welded sharp daggers about one foot long.
"Set off!"
With the order from the island, 150 imperial officers and soldiers immediately turned to the spot, following the requirements of the "Infantry Training Code", they took neat steps towards the enemy soldiers rushing towards them.
The soldiers of the Duke of Wei who were returning to the aid of the Wei State found the oncoming imperial army officers and soldiers. They couldn't help but stop and raised the musket in a hurry. They were anxious to ignite the fuse on the gun with the fire cube.
The people in the back team didn't know what was going on, so they didn't have time to stop, but they hit the front behind, making the team messy.
While scolding, Xu De passed over the crowd. Seeing that there were only more than 100 troops intercepting the opponent, he hurriedly ordered the family soldiers to line up and prepare for battle.
"Brother, what should I do?"
Xu Xing was unsure and secretly asked Xu Guang beside him. The idea of escaping was still deeply imprinted in his mind. He really scared Eunuch Wei.
Xu Guang stood on tiptoe and whispered, "There are fewer people on the other side than us, so you can fight." If you can't beat me, let's talk about it.
After hearing this, Xu Xing nodded quickly. He was afraid of the eunuch Wei, but he was also afraid that he would escape in the battle. The Duke of the State would not spare them as gently as last time. Therefore, he must fight again and again.
"Stand firm!"
Dadao ordered the stop advancing when the team was dozens of feet away from the enemy. Later, the soldiers quickly lowered the muskets carried on their shoulders, divided them into seven teams, and dispersed one by one. After the three teams of officers and soldiers in front quickly squatted down.
At the same time, Xu De commanded the family soldiers of the Duke of Wei's Mansion and approached the range. On the way, Xu De asked in detail how the firearms of the Wei eunuchs were fired by Xu Guang and Xu Xing.
Xu Guang and Xu Xing surrendered without even giving up their farts last time. But they didn't know how Eunuch Wei's weapons were attacked. They only said that they were similar to those of Shenji Camp.
After hearing this, Xu De did not ask again. He ordered the generals who led the team to stabilize their position and after entering the range, they immediately fired the gun according to his command, striving to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.
Although the family soldiers of the Duke of Wei's Mansion have training in fired muskets on weekdays, they have never fought for many years. This is their first actual combat. In addition, there are all muskets on the opposite side, so they must be very nervous.
The same is true for even officers. The gun is fired without asking who you are.
"Everything is stable, don't panic, just do what you usually do!"
After Xu De observed the distance, he ordered the stop to advance. Hundreds of soldiers quickly formed a battle formation, waiting for the opponent's Wei Yin's troops to move forward to the effective range before firing.
"Put them in and then hit them!"
Just as Xu De was considering whether to take the initiative by relying on his military strength, the Wei Yan soldiers and horses on the opposite side suddenly stopped and lined up there.
Seeing this, Xu De knew that the commander opposite was also a smart person. He knew that he had few people and refused to come to die first.
If you can't come across the opposite side, then they can go there. There is nothing to hesitate about.
Our side wants to return to the surrounded brigade, and the other side is here to stop them. The status of both offense and defense has long been destined. If Xu De and the others do not attack, the surrounded brigade will not be able to come out, so there is no need for them to return to the aid.
Xu De summoned Xu Guang and other generals, hoping to ask Xu Guang and others to lead a family soldier to charge and lure the eagle soldiers to fire the gun first. Then, when he led his other half of the soldiers to take the opportunity to break through, the musket on the opposite side suddenly started, and the explosion of the soldiers in the Duke's Mansion was almost deaf.
Xu De's ears were also buzzing, but he was overjoyed. The distance between the two sides was not within the effective range of the muskets. Wei's soldiers and horses fired their guns randomly. Isn't this self-destruction?
Just as they were about to order Xu Guang and the others to lead their troops forward quickly, and while the opponent was packing medicine and shooting, they disrupted their formation, they were surprised to find that a piece of family soldiers around them had already collapsed.
Screams and wails came one after another. At one glance, at least seventy or eighty people were shot and fell to the ground. The originally neat front team was beaten to pieces.
Xu Guang stood there stupidly, with blood on his face, but the blood was sprayed from a family man in front of him.
Xu Xing squatted on the ground at some point, staring blankly at a family soldier who was hit by the gun in front of him was cramping.
What gun is used on the opposite side?!
Xu De was not scared, but was stunned. How could the gun on the opposite side be fired at a distance of more than 30 meters?
Before he could react, the commander of Wei Yan's army and horses on the opposite side suddenly raised the command knife that was originally flat on the ground, and shouted "Ban Zai!", and then rushed towards this side without any chance.
"Bald!"
Amid the shouts of 150 imperial soldiers, they followed the command of the island with muskets as crazy, rushed towards the scattered soldiers on the opposite side.
"The imperial kingdom is here to rise and fall!"
