Nanming Engineer

Chapter 242 Battle in Hanzhong ([-])
"Bang!" Accompanied by a gunshot, a puff of blue smoke rose from the mouth of a bird's gun, and a lead shot out of the chest, flying less than six or seven feet away, and accurately hit Tu Ge's chest. The lead drilled into the armor, and the iron leaf could not stop it. It penetrated the armor, then passed through the keyhole of the inner chain mail, and punched a small hole in Tuge's thick chest muscles, and then shot out from the back, chachaka On the keyhole of the chain mail on the back, he stopped.

A stream of blood spurted from Tuge's chest, and Tuge fell face up as if hit by a heavy hammer.

In the process of falling, three crossbow arrows fired by the Mountain-Destroying Crossbow hit Tuge's body almost at the same time. Because the distance was very close, the crossbow arrows penetrated the armor and penetrated the flesh, lifting Tuge's heavy body almost into the air. , fell back several steps before falling to the ground.

"My lord!" The white-armored soldiers all around turned pale with fright and cried out, rushing forward to try to protect Tuge.

But before they even took a step, they were surrounded by lead bullets and arrows as dense as locusts.

Countless Ming troops flashed out from the darkness, either holding blunderbusses or crossbows, raining bullets and arrows like locusts, forming a semicircular formation around the Qing soldiers in the open space, as if they didn’t need money Buckshot and arrows poured down.

There were too many Qing soldiers in the open space, and they were very dense. Hundreds of people stood in a pile and stood next to each other because they had just squeezed out of the alley. It can hit a person, not to mention the continuous crossbow. The firing speed like a machine gun is a massacre in such an occasion. However, the Qing soldiers carried their round shields on their mounts and did not bring them with them. Except for the physical body, there is nothing that can stop the lead bullets and crossbow arrows of the Ming army.

The first round of blunderbuss shooting knocked down a circle of Qing soldiers on the periphery, and the subsequent shooting of crossbow arrows cut down people like wheat. A box of ten arrows for destroying mountains can be shot in less than a minute. When the crossbow arrows stop Down, the second round of bird guns sounded again.

"Bang bang bang!"

Gunpowder smoke filled the air and rose straight up. In the smoke, almost half of the people in the open space were lost.

The Qing soldiers who could still stand were all wounded, and many had a crossbow arrow stuck in their armor, bleeding through their clothes.

"There is an ambush! The Ming army has an ambush!" A Bashiku reacted, shouted loudly, drew his sword and rushed out of the panicked crowd, glaring at the Ming army who was firing guns on the opposite side, he immediately became a stand out from the crowd. The target, at least three bullets from the second round of bird gun salvos hit him. Under the huge kinetic energy piercing through, the Bashiku flew up like a piece of paper, fell heavily to the ground and did not move.

The gunshots and rain of arrows, like a violent storm, stunned the Qing army, and the main general was killed immediately, losing his command. Even the elite soldiers would panic, and it was impossible to organize a counterattack in a short time.

The shooting of the bird gun and the mountain-destroying crossbow fell silent after two rounds. The arrow case of the mountain-destroying crossbow needed to be replaced, and the bird gun needed to be reloaded. There was inevitably a breakpoint in the delivery of firepower. Taking advantage of this gap, the Qing army keenly Seized the opportunity.

"Nanban firearms need to be filled with medicine. Take this opportunity to rush up! Firearms are useless if you get close!" Someone reminded loudly, and the elite Ba Yala soldiers came to their senses first, and the white armored and red armored soldiers crowded together. The Qing soldiers fought bravely, scattered in all directions, and rushed towards the Ming troops around the open space.

The open space is not big, and you can run to the end by sprinting with all your strength for more than 20 steps. The Ming army who was loading and changing arrow boxes could not complete the action in a hurry, so they had to pick up cold weapons to fight.

The Ming soldiers are all dressed in white robes, which are very eye-catching. They put down the blunderbuss and crossbow arrows in their hands, and pick up the weapons at hand. The weapons are different. The one holding the crossbow arrows is holding a long white wax pole spear. , in his early thirty feet, a fork on the shiny gun blade looks very sharp; while the Ming army wielding the bird gun deftly flung the bird gun onto his back, with a sash hanging obliquely, which would not It fell, and then they grabbed a crescent ax that was just used to set up the bird gun from the ground very vigorously, held it horizontally with both hands, and rushed forward with fierce eyes.

One of them, a short but stout red-faced man, rushed to the front with a ghost knife wider than his face.

In the two shots that Zu Bian just fired, the first shot was aimed at Tuge, and the second shot was aimed at Bashiku, who jumped the fastest. His identity was different from other Qing soldiers. Although he didn't wear a flag, Zu Bian could tell from the armor style and momentum that this Qing soldier was a general. Therefore, to capture the thief, he first captured the king and defeated him.

The marksmanship is very accurate, even in hand-to-hand combat, Zu Bian doesn't give in. A ghost head knife in his hand is as sharp as the Crescent Moon Knife in Guan Gong's hands. Fighting in groups, clever tricks are useless. The emphasis is on simplicity and practicality, which is exactly what Zu Bian is good at. of.

The white-armored Ba Yala soldier who rushed to the front was three points shorter than Zu Bian, but also three points stronger. He held a fine iron long knife in his hand, held it with both hands, and exerted force from his waist, viciously He stabbed into Zu Bian's heart, the knife was like lightning, without any cover up, he ran straight to Zu Bian's life.

Zu Bian's eyes narrowed slightly, and the Ghost Head Saber swung towards the sky vigorously, and met the long knife stabbed by the Qing soldiers in gold and iron. With a sound of "Dang", sparks flew everywhere, and the two knives swung each other in the air, and separated instantly.

The knife in the Qing soldier's hand almost flew away, his tiger's mouth was numb, and he was shocked, this Nanman's strength is so great!
Before he could grasp the knife firmly, the edge of the knife on the side of his ancestors turned, his left foot stepped forward, his right foot kicked the ground, his waist and eyes exerted force, it changed from slashing to slashing, and chopped back with a strong wind, the Ba Yala soldiers hurriedly Raising the knife to parry, the two knives joined together again with a "clang".

Ancestor Bian was very powerful, and when he was chopping, he was yelling. The ghost-head knife was heavy and thick. It hit the long knife of the Qing soldier, and immediately cut the long knife into two parts. In a short time, half of Qing Bing's neck was cut off, and a column of blood shot up into the air, Qing Bing's body softened, and he knelt down.

Zubian's face was splattered with blood, he stomped on the corpse ferociously, drew out the knife, swung it up to the sky again, parried a long spear that was stabbing at him, strode forward, and slammed into it. In the arms of the gun-wielding Qing soldier, his shoulder slipped, all the strength of his body was concentrated on his left shoulder, and he slammed into the Qing soldier's chest. There was a "click" sound, and the Qing soldier spat out blood, saying "hehe" He fell softly to the ground with a sound, his eyes were still wide open when he was dying, and his expression was full of disbelief.

Zu Bian killed two people in a row, extremely ferocious, with blood all over his face coupled with a crazy expression, he looked like an evil ghost, and immediately stopped the Qing soldiers' forward momentum slightly.

With a grinning grin, he held up the blood-stained knives and shouted loudly, "Kill the Tartars!"

"Nanman! Ming dog!" The Qing soldiers roared angrily, and after a short pause, they rushed towards the Ming army even more frantically, but Zu Bian's sturdy and arrogant movements attracted the attention of many Qing soldiers in front, and rushed towards him All of them were Bajala warriors.

Zu Bian smiled even more ferociously, with a knife in his chest, he went forward.

There were figures of fighting everywhere in the open space. The Ming army armed with crescent axes and white spears fought together with the Qing soldiers. The Ming army's tactics were very organized. There were 11 players in a team, three players in front, and four The spearman is behind, four men with crescent axes are in charge of the two sides, and a captain is in the center to command. , the axeman is responsible for solving the problem. The captain holds a mountain-destroying crossbow to pick up leaks and send cold arrows. The division of labor is clear and orderly. Except for Zu Bian, the whole battlefield is divided into many separated small battlefields by each Ming army team. Whether it was the Ba Yala soldiers or the vests, they were surrounded one after another.

The battle in Zhuangzi was very fierce, and fierce battles were also taking place at the gate of the village.

The battle was first initiated by more than a dozen Qing soldiers who were in charge of guarding the horses. They rode on the horses, watching the movement around them vigilantly, and then they found a large group of Ming troops turning out from the woods not far away.

At this time, Tu Ge had already rushed towards the center of Zhuangzi with his people. The dozen or so Qing soldiers were also extremely brave. The army rushed over.

A row of blunderbuss soldiers stood out from the Ming army and fired a volley at a distance of fifty paces, almost killing all the dozen or so people when the Qing soldiers were about to pounce in front of them. This is what Tuge heard about the village gate Gunshots outside.

Wang Huan stood behind the blunderbuss, holding a long sword, looked at Fang Jiaji coldly, and waved his hand.

Ma Long, Zhang Jianchun, Ma Zuoheng and others led the Kuizhou army, rushed out from behind Wang Huan, rushed to the gate of Fangjiaji, blocked the suspension bridge first, and shot down Qing who was the first to rush out of the gate with a row of bird gun salvos. The soldiers drove back the Qing soldiers who intended to break through, and then the bird guns opened the way and killed them.

At this point in the battle, there is no suspense. The ancestors who ambushed in Zhuangzi brought 500 people, all of whom were veterans. The set is too small, and too many people rush in and can't use it.

Wang Huan took the remaining 500 people and stood quietly outside Fangjiaji, watching dozens of Qing soldiers riding back from a distance outside the village gate on the other side. After the formation of the army, he didn't even stop, and ran directly in the direction of Hanzhong.

"Run, bring more Tartars here." Wang Huan looked at the Qing soldiers going away with full expectation, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said leisurely: "I am waiting for you here."
