Chapter 99 Counterattack 1
At this time, the musketeers began the second round of firing, and another platoon of guns sounded. As a result, several people fell to the ground with blood mist. The officers, soldiers and villagers were really going crazy. They could not retreat now, and the people behind them still blocked their way to retreat, but there was a big ticket in front of them. The wolf-like pole was approaching them. Finally, someone began to realize that there was only one way to wait here, so they restrained the fear in their hearts and shouted with knives and guns.
"Brothers, don't mess up! Damn, we're lying down! It's just nonsense!) Don't panic! There are a lot of us. Don't mess up and rush to fight with them! There is only one way to die if it goes so chaotic! ..." An armored officer shouted hysterically in the crowd. It seemed that this man should be a general or a general flag officer under Ding Baoquan. He had some combat experience and couldn't run away, so he saw that it was not a way to go on like this.
At this time, Ding Baobao still didn't come up later. The officers and soldiers and the villagers crowded together. Although there were some people in charge, they couldn't control other people. What's more, Xing Tianjun bombarded and shot them at this time. Who has time to find his own steward?
After hearing the officer's shouting, some people began to come back, so more people began to shout, so that the people around them should not be confused. After all, there were many people. Although there was an ambush on the pole, the number of people could not beat them, which made some people see a glimmer of hope, so they greeted those around them. Don't be confused. Go up and fight with Xing Tianjun. Maybe there is still a way to live.
Once someone comes back, these officers and soldiers and villagers feel a little like they are looking for the north. It's just a live target for adults to squeeze together, and their firemen and archers have not come up yet. Even if a few come up, they can't move in the crowd, and they can't return at all. At present, the officer said It makes sense. In addition to going up and fighting, they are all huddled together and can only be passively beaten. That's similar to stretching out your neck and waiting to be stabbed. Instead of waiting to die, it's better to fight!
So some of the brave officers and soldiers who were blocked here began to pick up the guy, slowly pushed forward, and made a posture to fight.
"Fight! Rush up and fight with them! It's better than waiting to die! Damn it! If you are a good man, rush forward! Kill..." A strong man seems to be a stewmer in the middle of Xiang Yong, or a member of a road pole. He has seen blood and is bolder. As soon as he saw that someone has reacted and is ready to go up and play with his life, he raised the machete in his hand and quarreled loudly, and He rushed to the forced Xingtian army first.
As soon as someone took the lead, the rest became bolder. Many people shouted and rushed up with the man together.
Zhao Er donkey twitched a few times. He looked at the officers and soldiers and villagers who reacted on the opposite side. As soon as he saw that they had begun to rush back, his eyes glanced at him and his subordinates seemed to be a little shaken. The pace was a little irregular, so he quickly shouted harshly, "Stabilize me! Sclench the gun! Follow me! Don't mess up! Hold on!"
At least Zhao Erlu has also experienced several battles, and his experience in short-term confrontation is relatively old-fashioned. He knows that if he is in a mess in this case, then it's over. Let the opponent get close to their bodies, then these people have only one way to die, so they are busy. Hurry up and press down your platoon of men. At this time, the monitor and deputy monitor of each class also restrained their men loudly, and soon stabilized their formation and continued to step on the drums to push forward side by side.
Feng Gouzi, who followed closely behind, also ordered at this time: "Brothers, speed up! Catch up!"
With that, he stepped up his pace and took his row of people to lean towards the front row of people. Until there was only one or two steps away from Zhao Erlu's subordinates in the previous row, he basically stuck to the back of the people in the front row, which coordinated the pace under his feet and slowed down.
"Lift the gun in the second row, and the head of the gun is down! Fall!" Feng Gouzi then roared loudly again.
"The gun fell... the gun fell..." In the middle of his row, the deputy squad leader immediately repeated his order loudly. The long gunners in the second row immediately struggled to lift the long gun over their heads, and then collectively flattened the barrel, basically carrying it on the shoulders of the first row of long gunmen, and the tips of the gun staggered forward. It was staggered with the long guns in the first row, which immediately doubled their formation, and the gun forest was much denser.
The advantage of this is that the second row of long gunners take advantage of the distance difference, which just makes the gun forest in front of the long gun array form a fish scale-like layer, which greatly makes up for the density of long guns between the first row of long gunners, making it more difficult for the opponent to open the head of the first row of long shooters and then approach the first row of long shooters to use hand-to-hand combat tactics.
At this time, in the new barracks behind them, Xiao Tianjian personally issued an order: "There are new recruits! Get the javelin ready!"
The last time he dealt with Wang Tianlong, Xiao Tianjian tested his javelin tactics, which was indeed very effective. He killed Wang Tianlong's men unprepared and collapsed on the spot. However, in that battle, Xiao Tianjian also found that there were some problems in doing so, that is, the long gunmen in the front row quickly It will face the enemy, and throwing the javelin will undoubtedly make people's movements deform. Then when you change the long gun, it is easy to have formation chaos. Once it is taken by the enemy, it will be very dangerous for the long shooter.
So this time when he was training the new barracks, he asked the soldier's long shooter to give up this javelin tactic, only let them train the queue thrust tactic full-time, and the task of throwing the javelin was handed over to the knife and shield hand and the rookie.
The knife and shield hand was now transferred by him to cover Huang Shengqiang's group of musketeers and gunners, so the task of throwing the javelin fell on the recruits behind.
In these days, Xiao Tianjian searched for the remaining javelins he used before, and used ready-made materials to make a batch of new javelers, which were equipped into the new barracks. The simplest javelin is just the shape of a javelin cut from the mountain wood on the mountain. The front end is simply installed with an arrow on a bow and arrow, which is guaranteed to be Each recruit has been assigned two javelins, which shows how much he is really overstretched in terms of weapons and equipment.
With Xiao Tianjian's order, the instructors of the new barracks repeated Xiao Tianjian's order loudly one by one.
The two rows of new recruits immediately handed over the long gun or bamboo gun to their left hand, pulled out a javelin from behind, clenched it tightly, and then put their arms back.
Among each new recruits, there is an instructor responsible for dispatching new recruits, always waiting for Xiao Tianjian's order.
Xiao Tianjian stood high and carefully observed the distance between the soldiers and the enemy. When he saw those officers and soldiers and villagers shouting and rushing to his side, his lips were also tightly squeezed together. He was not nervous at all, and he was not born to be a soldier. He started this job. In less than half a year, he commanded such a large-scale battle. For him, it was the first time in his life since he got out of his mother's womb. The opposite side was full of people. For a moment, it was not clear how many enemy troops rushed in, but it can be seen that the number of enemy troops have entered the cottage now. It far exceeds his strength.
No one is born with a commanding genius. Xiao Tianjian is also crossing the river by touching the stone. From childhood to age, he has done this step in front of him. Seeing so many enemies, if he is not nervous in his heart, it is nonsense, but he knows that he is the backbone of these hundreds of people at present. If he looks nervous, then Don't expect his men to calm down, so from the beginning to now, he has been extremely cold, covering up the tension in his heart with a tight facial expression.
Now that he has a lot of hands, he naturally doesn't have to go to the front line to fight in person. He doesn't want to stand in the front row as a commando every time he goes to the battle. He knows the value of his existence. As a general, as long as he is responsible for the command, he will do it. The matter of the battle charge is left to his subordinates. If he waits for the round When he had to take action, it should be the most critical time in general, so he consciously stayed behind the team this time and played the role of a commander.
When he saw that the enemy had begun to come back and was about to rush up to break the net, he secretly grasped the waist knife handle on his waist and stared at the situation in the front without blinking.
When he saw that the front of the two armies was close to more than a dozen steps away, he shouted decisively, "Drow the javelin!"
After hearing his roar, the instructors among the first two new recruits also shouted decisively, "All of them!" Throw a gun! ......”
After shouting, the instructor himself took a big step forward as a helper, twisted his waist and raised his arms, shouted, and threw the javelin in his hand at a 45-degree angle.
After hearing the roar of the instructors, the rest of the recruits followed closely, one by one, and threw the javelin in their hands out with a loud voice.
Nearly a hundred javelins crossed the top of the heads of the two rows of soldiers in the front row in an instant, like a rainstorm at the officers and soldiers who were rushing to the Xingtian Army array.
The strong man who rushed to the front felt something was wrong. He looked up and was suddenly scared. He quickly swayed his knife to beat the falling javelin, but as soon as he cut a javelin, the second javelin immediately came. He was not given any chance to react at all. He only heard him. With a scream, a javelin went straight into his shoulder blade and ran straight through his back, and fell to the ground with him.
