Chapter 7: Battle
The team of more than 1,000 people drove directly the next day and selected the nearest group of bandits. The den of this group of bandits is located in a mountain temple near Beima Town. According to the public, the number of people is about 700, and they often kidnap the road. They belong to a group of larger bandits.
Zhao Yong took him to Beima Town that night and set up camp directly in the wilderness near Beima Town, while sending a spy to the horse.
The information was soon obtained. The group of bandits were gathering in the abandoned temple. The first time he brought people out to suppress the bandits, Zhao Yong couldn't help but be cautious and began to arrange tactics overnight.
"The first company, block the mountain road behind, and there is a downhill road on the side. The terrain is relatively flat. Lin Yi, you are responsible for catching the bandits who fled downhill. The Second Company, the archer company, followed me to kill them." Zhao Yong saw that the mountain road was not very steep and the village on the mountain was not strong, so he planned to kill them directly.
"Okay." Lin Yi nodded.
"The young master told us that if there is no casualties, try to capture those who can capture them as much as possible, and follow the axis and connect them to collect them." Zhao Yong said, "The attack was launched at the fifth update of the Ming Dynasty."
...
Second, before dawn, the camp blew up the wake-up call. After breakfast, Zhao Yong took his men straight to the bandit's nest. Taking advantage of the shiny sky, Zhao Yong took his men to the mountain to kill him.
The bandits on the mountain did not expect that someone would attack at this time and were stunned on the spot. It was not until Zhao Yong rushed to the mountain that he made a fuss.
The effective resistance was completely impossible, and the bandits on the mountain were killed and defeated. Amid the shouts of "Surrender, not kill", they either kneeled down to surrender or ran away.
The bandits running down the mountain were blocked directly. By dawn, the battle had ended, and the prisoners tied ropes to their hands into a string.
The Education Commissioner Li Shenxing and his men began to search and seize supplies three feet from the melon field on the mountain. Several boxes of white silver and hundreds of stones of grain were searched.
More than thirty women who were tortured and distracted were found.
When a group of soldiers saw this scene, they knew what was going on, and they were all angry at this moment. The ideological education during this period still had its effect.
"Come on, bring that Wang Liuzhi." Zhao Yong roared angrily. After a while, the bandit leader Wang Liuzhi was brought up. Zhao Yong immediately stepped on him and punched Wang Liuzhi.
Zhao Yong has practiced the style of hand-held, and the strength of fists and feet is not that simple. Wang Liu's fingers were beaten so hard that he vomited blood. Li Shenxing rushed up and hurriedly pulled Zhao Yong, while advising: "Battlefield Commander, abuse of prisoners is a violation of the regulations!"
"Hmph, let him go for the time being, and take me down and take it seriously." Zhao Yong said, and he didn't forget to kick it, kicking Wang Liuzhi, who was struggling to get up, to the ground.
"What should I do?" Zhao Yong looked at the women in front of him with some embarrassment. These women were caught on the mountain by bandits, and their reputation was no longer guaranteed.
"According to the regulations, if a good woman is rescued, they will be given silver and sent home if they are willing to go home, and those who are unwilling to go home will be taken back to Zhaojiabao for shelter." Li Shenxing hurriedly looked out the regulations and pointed to one of the regulations and said to Zhao Yong.
Zhao Yong rolled his eyes twice, "Old Li, you know I'm illiterate and show it to me."
"Haha!" Li Shenxing smiled, put away the regulations, and began to deal with the women's work.
This bandit suppression was very successful, but Zhao Yong and Lin Yi felt that something was missing. After careful consideration, they realized that the bandit suppression was so smooth that they had not experienced any decent battles. The whole battle was like drinking boiled water.
Therefore, the combat effectiveness of the army cannot be tested, and I have not learned the experience of the battle, but I have learned some of the experience of sneak attacks.
In the evening, Li Shenxing, as the Education Commission, began to use the tragic experiences of those women to provide ideological education to the soldiers in the camp.
"Why are we fighting?" Li Shenxing asked loudly.
"Fight for the Han people and fight to defend their homeland." The soldiers of the entire camp roared.
That night, the whole camp was noisy.
The next day, all the soldiers in the camp rushed towards the second target of the destruction.
This time, Zhao Yong chose a group of powerful bandits, with more than 2,000 people, most of whom escaped from Kong Youde's riot army.
Zhao Yong deliberately made someone line up in a seemingly messy formation and walked to the mountain village, and was immediately discovered by bandits on the mountain village.
"Official Army?" The bandits on the mountain guessed when they saw a group of chaotic teams descending from the mountain, but they were a little surprised. Their people did not look like they were in the official army.
Black eats black?
The bandits in the village were angry on the spot. I was invincible in Shandong. These unsightly people dared to bring people to the wrong person. They were really impatient to live.
With a loud "boom", a cannon suddenly came from the mountain. A big fireball flew directly from the mountain, and a cannonball directly hit a place not far in front of the formation.
Everyone was startled, and at this moment, the village gate suddenly opened.
"Kill!" The bandits rushed down the mountain in a swarm.
"Range the array." Zhao Yong shouted loudly. With a call, the soldiers of the three companies moved quickly. In less than a moment, they arranged into two neat horizontal lines.
"Bowling Company comes forward."
One hundred longbowmen held longbows and rushed out quickly from the middle intersection and two corners of the horizontal line, lined up in front of the horizontal line.
"Preparation!" the commander of the bowman company shouted loudly.
Quickly draw out the arrows and aim at the rushing bandits.
"Shoot!" With a command, a row of heavy arrows shot out directly. Some longbowmen were too nervous and actually shot arrows into the sky as they were used to.
A row of heavy arrows shot out, and dozens of bandits fell down. Their formation was too dense. Some bandits were shot down by one arrow, and some bandits were nailed to the ground by heavy arrows. They did not die for a moment and were screaming in hissing.
The longbow soldiers were a little dazed for a moment. Usually they shot targets, and this was the first time they shot people.
"Preparation..." The call sounded again, and he quickly reacted, pulled out the heavy arrow, and pulled the longbow hard.
"shooting……"
Another row of heavy arrows shot out and flew into the dense crowd. Dozens of people were shot to the ground. Three shots in a row, and the number of casualties of this group of bandits was no less than a hundred.
But the bandits were very tenacious, and they were still rushing all the way like a tiger going down the mountain. The noisy aura made some soldiers look a little ugly.
"Roar! They will be finished when they rush over." A bandit shouted loudly. These bandits who had passed through the battle had even suffered more intense firepower when fighting with the official army. According to their experience, with their advantage, as long as they rushed over, they could easily defeat the group of lifeless people in front of them.
Some bandits saw the cold gun array and vaguely realized something, but were instantly drowned by the noise of killing.
It's approaching!
Less than thirty meters.
"Retreat." The company commander of the archers shouted. One hundred longbowmen breathed a sigh of relief. They quickly divided into three teams according to the practice many times. Two teams retreated from the corners of the horizontal team on both sides of the horizontal team, and one team retreated quickly from the middle passage.
"Flat gun."
"Kill!" A neat shout suddenly broke out, and the spear suddenly stabbed out, forming an insurmountable line of defense, and stabbing the bandits who were hit by their heads to the ground.
The bandits' charge momentum was immediately blocked and their progress slowed down. The horizontal lineup of spearmen was like a mechanical meat grinder, constantly stabbing the bandits rushing in, one row after another.
When the first row was robbed, the second row immediately stabbed the spear out, and in this cycle, the third row of spearmen was waiting for the battle.
The bandits rushing towards him had a ferocious face and the number of people was increasing. Two rows of spears were too late to kill. Several bandits had already rushed through the four meters distance and killed the spearman in front of him with one knife. They were soon stabbed to death by the spearman in the third row.
Just when the defense line was in danger, suddenly, a wave of arrow feathers flew out from behind the horizontal lineup.
Amid the howling of the arrows, the bandits were shocked and frightened, and dozens of bandits were nailed to the ground. Because only a few of these bandits had armor, the number of shots this time was even more direct than before.
Direct shooting is easy to deviate. As long as the shooting reaches a certain area, it will cause huge lethality to enemies with dense formations and no armor.
The arrow feathers behind them were endless, wave after wave. After each wave of arrow feathers, heavy arrows nearly one meter long were inserted into the ground, and in the middle were corpses nailed to the ground.
The pressure on the horizontal team suddenly decreased greatly.
The corpses on the ground, and the bandits behind suddenly became panicked. In front of them was a spear that represented death, and they also always protect themselves from being attacked on their heads.
Finally, some bandits couldn't hold on anymore, so they rushed to the front of the formation and turned around and ran away.
Suddenly, a slight roar came from the ground, and more than a hundred cavalry suddenly rushed out from behind a group of bandits, like a sharp awl, instantly tearing a hole open. The bandits who had been blocked from the offensive were in chaos.
The charge suddenly sounded in the horizontal lineup.
"Kill!" With a shout, the horizontal team launched a charge...
Lin Yi led people to plow the bandits' team, immediately gathered the cavalry around him, looked at the battlefield, and saw that the bandits had no intention of fighting and were retreating step by step. He immediately shouted: "Distract and catch people."
The main function of cavalry in this kind of battle is not to kill the enemy, but to disrupt the opponent's formation, and the main task is to leave it to the infantry to complete.
In addition, the bandits are bound to be defeated at this moment, and catching people is important.
With five people as a team, a group of cavalry divided into thirty teams and pursued the fleeing bandits.
