Chapter 160 Hexi Village Outpost 2

A team will immediately roar under the wall, "Yes!" Then he turned around and ran under the low wall outside the village. At this time, behind the low wall outside the village, there were already more than 100 members of the criminal army, including 60 firemen, and the rest were knife and long gunmen, ready to fight.

At this time, several light Frans were also set up by the generals on the wall. The muzzle pointed to the open land outside the village. Some gunners had already put the cannon into the tail of the mother's gun and were ready to ignite.

Before long, the team of officers and soldiers took the knife player as the guide and rushed close to the low wall outside the village. Just when they were still one or two hundred steps away from the low wall, several cannons of the officers and soldiers first opened fire. After hearing only a few roars, several bullets flew by and hit the wall of Xihe Village heavily. This also completely opened the curtain of the battle of Xihe Village.

The Xingtian army inside and outside the village stood upright one by one. Facing the crowds of officers and soldiers, they were not moved at all. It seemed that they had not seen them at all. No one made unnecessary movements at all, but stared at their fronts coldly, only a trace of coldness flashing in their eyes. The cold light quietly waited for the orders of the officers.

Long-term rigorous training has made the soldiers of the Xingtian Army form an absolute obedience to orders. Even before the collapse of Mount Tai, the soldiers of the Xing Tianjun will never mess themselves up. Although today they are facing several times more enemies than theirs, not many people pay attention to these officers and soldiers, at most They tightened their bodies and were ready to fight. As for how to fight, it's not what they care about. Their own officers will give them orders, as long as they do it.

The gunners of the officer's army are really not good. Several guns fired one after another, and the shells fired were either too low or too high. Originally, they wanted to bombard the low wall outside the village, but they could not hit the target, and basically did not cause any casualties to Xing Tianjun.

Xu Qianshi stood in the army and looked at the thief army under the wall of Hexi Village. He saw that Mr. Ma Qian had led his troops to rush to kill him, and they also fired, but the other party did not move at all. He was still standing under the wall like javelin, as if they were all wooden people. This couldn't help but surprise him.

As a leader of the army, his men also have a hundred and ten servants, so he also knows what the quality of an elite soldier should be like. Although the officers and soldiers also require the soldiers, the officers and soldiers have never really done this. At the time of the war, the whole army can do it so neatly. At this point alone, he realized that the enemy he was facing was not as simple as he thought, so he couldn't help but feel an ominous feeling in his heart.

Seeing the more than 500 officers and soldiers screaming and rushing towards Zhuangzi, a team standing behind the low wall will silently calculate the distance of the enemy from them, and did not observe the landing point of the enemy's shells and the killing and injury caused by the shells to them. Their faces were as calm as usual, as if it were an exercise, and It's not a serious battle, and there is no trace of tension at all.

Just as the officers and soldiers rushed 80 steps in front of the low wall outside the village, the team general shouted harshly, "The first row is gun-up!"

The first row of firemen in the hands of the three rows of firemen behind the low wall, then put down the already loaded bird gun from their shoulders and brushed 20 bird gunkins on the low wall.

This low wall is very interesting. It just allows the soldiers standing behind the low wall to show their positions above their shoulders. Except for the head, the rest of the whole body is covered behind the low wall, and it is also just right to set up their birds, without affecting the action of aiming. To put it bluntly, this low wall is a sign. The accurate chest wall can provide effective protection for the soldiers hiding behind the wall.

At this time, the firemans had already ignited the fire rope on the bird's gun. They carefully puffed their cheeks and gently blew the fire head at the front end of the fire rope to keep the fire head from going out. After the first row of firemans set up the bird's gun, they began to look for their prey with one eye through the door and the front sight, but in an instant. Lock a target and keep the target out of their aim.

"Fire!" It was not until the officers and soldiers had rushed 60 steps away from the low wall that the team general on the far right side of the team roared.

Twenty firecrackers in the first row immediately pulled down the faucet stuck with the fire rope, and saw a row of gunpowder smoke immediately spewed out from the low wall, and there was a burst of popping beans.

After the twenty fireshots in the first row, no one in the first row went to check their shooting effect. They immediately withdrew and removed the birdshots from the chest wall, turned through the two rows of fireshots in the back, passed through them to the last row, put the bird on the ground, and began to load it again nervously. .

"The second row is forward!" The team in charge of commanding the fireman stared at the enemy outside the wall. They saw the group of officers who were rushing forward. The soldiers in the front row seemed to hit a wall together and fell to the ground one after another. This round of volley knocked over seven or eight officers, so the corners of his mouth showed a little. Laughing, he roared again.

The second row of fire gun hands took a step forward, came to the back of the chest wall, and put the bird gun on the chest wall. After aiming through the undissipated smoke, they opened fire again under the order of the team general.

In this way, it can almost be said to be a standard three-stage attack. Twenty firemans in each of the three rows kept going forward and forth, fires in turn. The gunpowder from the birds almost covered the chest wall, and the air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder smoke.

Looking at the army that rushed up, it was bad luck. At a distance of 50 steps in front of the low wall, it almost became their forbidden place. All the officers and soldiers who rushed to this area were beaten upside down by such a row of birds. Even if some officers and soldiers held shields to cover their bodies, they could not stop Xingtian's arms. If the hand shoots at such a close range, as long as he is hit, he will be hit and fall to the ground one after another.

This time, Mr. Ma Qian, who led the charge, was stunned. He never thought that Zhuangzi's thief army would have such fierce firepower. Almost all the elite soldiers under his command pressed in front of him, but in an instant, he was shot by the fierce fire of the thief army, at least dozens of casualties. At this time, the rest of the officers and soldiers did not dare to rush forward any more. They shouted in horror one after another, turned their heads and fled to the back. No one wanted to be the next target to be shot.

And Ma Qian, who led the team, did not become the victim of this round of Xing Tianjun's shooting because he followed the crowd to supervise the battle. However, at this time, he was already so scared that he dared not come forward again, so he had to lead his troops to escape back to this battle.

"Stop shooting! Ready to load!" Seeing that the rushing officers and soldiers had been repulsed, the team under command then ordered to stop shooting and let the firemen retreat and prepare for the next shooting. He also stared at the front from the gradually dissipating smoke.

All this fell in the eyes of Li Shuanzhu and other officers of the Xingtian army standing on the wall of the village. In the first round of the battle, the officers and soldiers suffered a great loss. At least 40 or 50 corpses were left outside the village, and more than one cent of the attacking officers and soldiers were cut off at once. No wonder these officers and soldiers fled back so quickly.

So Li Shuanzhu's iron-like black face showed a smile and relaxed his expression: "Haha! These officers and soldiers are really just a bunch of bears! Good fight! Haha!"

After seeing such a scene, the Xingtian army members standing on the Zhuang wall also shouted for their colleagues outside the village.

Looking at the officers and soldiers of Mr. Ma Qian, who fled back to this array in confusion, the incident surnamed Xu was also shocked. His ominous foreboding just now still came true. The bandits in Hexi Village were indeed not ordinary. No one expected that there were so many sharp birds in the hands of the bandits. In contrast, In the first battle just now, the officers and soldiers on his side performed very poorly. In addition to those cannons that fired twice and became strong, it can hardly be said that they did not cause any damage to this group of thieves, but paid the price of dozens of people. In this way, the morale of the whole army was suppressed a lot at once. When the generals no longer looked at this small Hexi Village, they all showed a look of fear.

So this Xu Jushi no longer dared to despise the small Hexi village in front of him. Seeing that it could not solve the problem, he had no choice but to order to stop first and began to make the soldiers and villagers rush to build a shield car. After the shield car was built, the shield car launched the attack again.

At this time, Xiao Tianjian had just led Luo Liyi sentry to leave Lianhuazhai. On the way, he received the news that Qinyang was entering Yangcheng, so he immediately ordered to go to the north of Yangcheng County at the speed of rapid marching again to support Li Shuanzhu in Hexi Village.

In contrast, the distance between Lianhua Village and Hexi Village is more than three times more from Hexi Village in Qinshui County. Moreover, although Xiao Tianjian is on his way at the speed of the army, he has to constantly integrate the passing villages into the team. In this way, the speed of the march has been slowed down. Less, and he had to meet the new barracks led by Liu Bao on the road, which should have been completed in a day, but he walked for two whole days.

However, Xiao Tianjian is not very worried. Although the number of officers and soldiers from Qinshui County is far more than several times the strength of the Xingtian Army under the jurisdiction of Li Shuanzhu, with his understanding of the quality of Li Shuanzhu and his generals, even if the officers and soldiers can break through Hexi Village, I'm afraid it is impossible to have three or five days.

Unless it is a completely desperate and crazy attack of the army, it is not as simple as they think to take down Hexi Village.

So when he led his troops to Hexi Village, it was already the evening of the next day when the officers and soldiers arrived here.
