Burial Ming

Chapter 163 Attack on the Enemy Camp 1

After the Xing Tianjun was ordered to send troops, the troops lined up in Zhuangwai at a very fast speed. In less than two quarters of an hour, the troops completed the gathering in the open space outside Zhuang.

With the soldiers as the Chinese army, the new soldiers and the rural soldiers were on both sides of the Chinese army, covering the two wings of the Chinese army. With Xiao Tianjian's order, more than 2,000 soldiers stepped on the drums and pushed towards the army battalion.

When he saw Xing Tianjun coming out of the array, the officers and dogs suddenly jumped up in the battalion. A sentry officer was immediately driven to the side of the barracks and began to arrange the defense in a hurry.

And the generals in the army surrounded the Xu Jushi and came to the Yumen in a panic, climbed on the arrow tower just built on the side of the Yumen, and stared at Hexi Village one after another.

Because of the terrain, the battlefield is very narrow, and the officer battalion can only be arranged on a slope on the east side of Hexi Village. The distance between the two armies is very limited, and there is no possibility of large-scale deployment at all. Therefore, the Xingtian Army can only choose to attack the officer battalion from one direction from the main entrance.

So Xu Jishi immediately called his generals, and most of the generals were deployed to the front of the battalion, relying on the newly built barracks to defend.

In this way, although the Xing Tianjun needs to attack the official army's camp and does not have much advantage in the terrain, it is basically not dangerous for the officers and soldiers.

In addition, after the officers and soldiers came here, they did not expect that they would quickly turn to the defensive. When building a large camp in the first two days, they did not take much effort. They just temporarily set up a camp fence, and even did not have time to dig the defensive trenches. Last night, after seeing the arrival of a large number of reinforcements of the Xingtian Army, although he We decided to stay here and confront the Xing Tianjun, but we didn't have time to build more defense facilities. We just strengthened the camp fence, built a few simple arrow towers, and arranged some heavy vehicles in the area of the camp gate. As a temporary line of defense, even the iron thistle did not come. And it was laid outside the camp gate, just outside the gate, sprinkled with some iron thistle.

When he saw the Xing Tianjun's array, pushing towards the army's battalion like a mountain, this Xu Jishi and his generals suddenly felt a stingling murderous atmosphere coming to his face. Looking at the array and military appearance of Xing Tianjun, it was even more neat and majestic. Every step exuded a kind of trembling power, making All the generals have a sense of powerlessness.

Only then did they understand why Niu Tai lost so badly in the Battle of Beiliu last time. Today, looking at the military appearance of the Xing Tianjun, they realized that they were in big trouble.

Xu Yushi couldn't help but straighten his eyes a little, and he said, is this still an ordinary army of thieves? How can I look at this group of thieves? They are much more elite than the serious officers and soldiers!

So he immediately greeted his generals and shouted to them, "You have seen it! This group of thieves are going to fight with us! You all go back to your own army and go to supervise the division for me. Be sure to block this group of thieves for me. Never let them attack into the camp. Those who dare to retreat in the battle will kill me without mercy!"

The generals among the officers and soldiers looked at the Xing Tianjun's array pushed like a mountain, and they also panicked in their hearts. After listening to it, they quickly held their fists to answer the order, quickly ran down the arrow tower, ran back to their respective subordinates, and roared and let their soldiers come forward to prepare for the battle and block the attack of the Xingtian Army.

Under the shouts of the generals, the officers and soldiers in the battalion completed the arrangement in disorder. All the firearms and crossbows in the general were arranged near the barracks gate in the battalion, making a dead resistance.

Speaking of the two armies, the strength of the two armies is similar, but it is ridiculous that after looking at the military appearance of the Xing Tianjun, these officers and generals can't even get the idea of going out of the camp to fight at all. They all want to rely on the barracks to stop the attack of the Xing Tianjun, and they were blocked by the Xingtian army in the big camp.

After Xiao Tianjian slowly urged the horse governor to travel 400 steps away from the army's camp, he raised his hand into the air and clenched it into a fist.

The flag in the army immediately waved, and there was a trumpet. The soldiers then stopped moving forward and stopped with a bang.

Luo Li flew to Xiao Tianjian's horse and shouted to Xiao Tianjian, "General! I am willing to ask Ling Ling to test the skills of the officers and soldiers!"

Xiao Tianjian immediately shook his head and said, "No! This time, we must fight to determine the universe. If we don't move, we will do it. We will make every move to flatten this army camp! "Shit back!"

After listening, Luo Li immediately bowed down and went to listen to Xiao Tianjian's order.

At this time, I suddenly saw a flame flashed at the right barracks in the officer's camp, and then a group of gunpowder smoke rose. Then a shell flew out of the officer's camp almost visible to the naked eye. Before flying to the Xingtian army, the projectile fell on the open space in front of the two armies and smashed a group of Dust, after the shell bounced up on the ground, it flew forward for a distance, rolled to the ground and stopped, but the landing point was still a hundred steps away from the Xingtian Army, and it was impossible to hit the Xingtian Army.

This sudden change made the two armies stunned. Then there was the sound of artillery one after another among the officers and soldiers. The barracks spewed out smoke and flames. The officers and soldiers actually fired at the Xing Tianjun in advance, and the shells fell on the open space in front of the Xing Tian Army one after another, and there was a stream of dust, but a He did not enter the battle of Xing Tianjun.

The Xu Ji, who was standing on the arrow building, was angry and roared at the bottom, "Which bastard lit the gun first? Pull it out and cut it off!"

Not long after, a panicked officer and soldier was arrested and pulled to the gate. A personal soldier immediately shouted to Xu Yi on the arrow building, "Your Excellency! It's the first shot just now!"

The captured gunner with a panicked expression on his face, knelt on the ground and shouted at Xu Jianshi on the arrow tower: "General, forgive me! The little one just missed the cannon by accident! Please forgive the general! I don't dare to be young anymore! Spare my life, General!"

Xu Ji is so angry! The most taboo thing before the two armies is not to disrespect the order to open fire without authorization. This is definitely a death penalty in the army. What they are afraid of is that there are people who are timid to light a fire or set an arrow first, which will attract the rest of the people to light and shoot arrows one after another. Today, the situation is already very tense, but this guy ignites and fires before there is no order, which attracts the army. The gunners also lit a fire together. As a result, not only could they not create any damage to the enemy, but they also lost the morale of the officers.

Xu Yishi shouted harshly: "Those who do not respect the order to get angry without authorization will be killed immediately without mercy!" Come on, cut this for me! The head hangs on the door and shows it to the public!"

Several knives and axes didn't listen to the guy's bitter begging for mercy, and immediately went up and pressed him to the ground. The knife flashed down, and the unlucky man's sad begging for mercy stopped abruptly, and soon a bloody head was hung on the high pole of the gate.

After the soldiers and generals in the army looked at it, their necks were cold, and no one dared to mess up again. Although the officers and soldiers and artillerymen who followed them without authorization were dragged out and cut, they were immediately pulled down by their officers to cut their ears, cut their noses, and cut their noses through the face with arrows. After a heavy penalty, they drove them back to their respective positions, and then their faces were full of blood what they should do, and they were not allowed to wrap them up.

Speaking of the Ming Dynasty, the punishment for officers and soldiers for making mistakes is very severe in the army. Whipping with military sticks is common, and it is nothing at all. It is easy to pierce the face, cut the ears, cut the nose with arrows, and cut the head immediately. What's more, it is even more, it is often used to use torture. The officers and soldiers are not regarded as human beings at all, like today's It has long been used to these Ming army to punish officers and soldiers who make mistakes. Everyone is not surprised. After the punishment, what should they do with injuries?

In contrast, although Xing Tianjun's military law is also quite strict, it is basically based on military sticks and sticks, and if it is not a special case, it will not use beheading, not to mention the strongly insulting punishment of cutting his nose and cutting his ears and piercing his face. Compared with these punishments abused among the officers and soldiers, Xiao Tianjian is actually It's quite generous.

The sudden firing of the officers and soldiers did not even intimidate the role of the officers and soldiers at all. After figuring out why the officers and soldiers opened fire, the whole Xing Tianjun immediately burst into a burst of laughter. Even Xiao Tianjian felt a little laughing. He pointed to the officer's camp and scolded at his subordinates, "We still If you don't do it, you will be so scared! Why is it so difficult to take down these wastes?

After listening to Xiao Tianjian's laughter and scolding, the morale of the army rose greatly. Even the villagers who came to the front for the first time laughed together after figuring out the reason for the officers and soldiers firing, and the tension in their hearts suddenly eased a lot and became relaxed.

"That's all! Now that they are scared to pee in their pants! Let's not continue to scare them here! Push the cannon out and let them see the cannon of our Xing Tianjun! Let's see who is better!" Xiao Tianjian waved his whip and ordered a deputy sentry general of the artillery team who accompanied the army.

After the deputy sentry of the artillery team heard the order, he immediately received the order loudly, and then turned around and rushed into the army. In a short time, he personally took 20 gunners and pushed the two yellow bronze cannons that had been wiped and maintained to the front of the front, directly pushed them to a distance of 300 steps from the officer's battalion, and then stopped moving forward.

These two guns are all three-pound guns made by Xing Tianjun, which Xiao Tianjian just proposed from the warehouse and handed over to the artillery team. They were installed on the strong and light two-wheel gun frame and were brought here by Xiao Tianjian this time.

The deputy sentinel of the artillery team temporarily represented Huang Shengqiang, who had not yet returned to the team due to injury. He personally led the troops to follow Xiao Tianjian, and personally took his men to push the two three-pound cannons to the front of the front and began to quickly load them.
