Chapter 49 Casualties

Bang!

The bird gun sounded on the mountainside. Chen Mu only saw a figure falling from afar in the distance and rolling down the mountain road. Then he was occupied by the smoke of gunpowder. His body suddenly retracted, and there was a sound of arrows breaking through the air and nailing behind him. Chen Mu, who was panting behind the tree trunk, saw a flag army behind him screaming and staggering and falling down with arrows.

The slippery palm made him almost unable to grasp the small cartridge with the belt around his waist. He quickly poured the medicine into the muzzle and put it in the lead ball. He tamped the whole strip with force. During this process, he did not forget to shout loudly: "Don't panic, form a formation!"

The ears were filled with fighting and shouting, and the military formation had basically scattered, and he could not turn the world back even if he shouted, so he could only barely maintain half of the flag troops around him.

The horizontal formation he imagined was to be able to guard against the rebels' bows and arrows, and the road at the foot of the mountain was wide enough and there was room for implementation. It was also because of this that at the beginning of the most difficult battle to attack the mountain at the foot of the mountain, the horizontal formation brought great help to them, and rushed upwards for more than ten feet without any casualties, killing dozens of enemies.

But when we reached the mountainside, the road was completely different. Chen Mu never thought of. The mountain road that could have allowed seven or eight people to run in parallel was destroyed by artillery. The narrowest part was only for two people to run in parallel. What was terrible is that there were three high and low arrow towers, each stationed at five or six crossbowmen from each other, intercepting them from all angles. The rain of arrows pressed the soldiers so hard that they dared not show up. As soon as they were exposed, seven or eight arrows would attack, and they would accidentally fall down the cliff.

Seeing that the army was blocked behind, Chen Mu could only grit his teeth and ordered Shao Tingda to lead the sword and card team to rush over in the rain of arrows. This was a bad thing.

The sword flag paid a flag and the casualties of the arrow fell off the cliff and rushed over. The soldiers behind were not protected by the sword flag, and they did not dare to charge. When the rain of arrows slowed down, the enemy archers on an arrow tower were removed by Shao Tingda, and a team of enemy soldiers rushed over and dispersed their contact with Shao Tingda.

In addition, the four small flags of Chen Mu's army were driven into the forest due to chaos, making it even more difficult to attack the mountain.

"The chief flag cannot be attacked anymore! There is an arrow tower!"

After firing the gun not far away, Shi Qi hid on his side and hid behind the tree trunk and shouted loudly at Chen Mu. Fu Yuan ran quickly on the other side, shouting as he ran: "Main Flag, Man Liao Camp is blocked from behind and can't keep up! Let's retreat!"

"Take a fuck!"

Chen Mu cursed inwardly, ignored Fu Yuan at all, and ordered loudly: "Bird Gunman, Longbowman, don't stop, fire the gun! Fu Yuan, Lou Qimai, let the spearman be ready, the enemy rushed up and stabbed him back!"

Bang! Bang bang!

A few bird guns sounded in the forest, and more than twenty enemy troops rushed down the mountain. Before they rushed to the nearest, they dropped three corpses and retreated back like a tide. But as long as the crossbowmen standing in the arrow towers in the mountains were not killed, it would be difficult for them to rush through here.

The rain of arrows kept throwing, and no one dared to rush into the arrow tower within thirty steps. Just as the enemy did not dare to rush into the range of bird gunners such as Chen Mu, they were afraid of death.

boom!

Accompanied by the sound of the trees fragmented, a shell accurately swept across the trunk that Chen Mu used to live in. The loud noise scared him so much that he was reflexive and pounced on the side. The trunk that was turned around was interrupted in the waist. The crackling sound of the head above him saw the giant tree smashing downwards!

At the critical moment, Long Junxiong, who was the guard, grabbed Chen Mu's arm and pulled him to the side. The tree crown hit the direction where Chen Mu had pounced down, and a piece of rotten leaves gushed.

Chen Mu, who was still in shock, sat up on the ground and realized it. He suddenly took a few steps behind him. Then he heard Fu Yuan shouting happily: "General Flag, the arrow tower is about to collapse!"

The culprit who broke the tree and almost killed Chen Mu, the big lead bullet broke the tree trunk and changed direction, swept across the wooden stakes that the rebels built on the simple arrow tower in the mountains. Although the remaining strength was too strong to break the wooden pillar, the crossbowmen on the arrow tower were greatly frightened, and their weight caused the arrow tower to fall.

Chen Mu dared to guarantee that the cannibal gunmen at the foot of the mountain had no idea what they had hit!

"Spearl! Take advantage of the moment and rush over!"

It was not easy to hit the tree crown. At that moment, it was obvious that he didn't care about his embarrassment. Chen Mu picked up the bird gun and stood up to call the spearman to rush forward. At the same time, he ordered the bird gun gunman to continue shooting. He reloaded the medicine and turned around and found that Long Junxiong, who had just saved him, had a bloody face. He asked quickly: "How are you?"

Long Junxiong suddenly realized that he was not aware of it, and he was protecting Chen Mu with a Japanese sword. When he heard Chen Mu ask him, he raised his arm and wiped his face. Seeing the blood on his sleeves, he shook his head and said, "It's okay, the branches are scraped. The general flag, let me and Lao Qi go up, they can't stop it!"

Chen Mu was worried that Long Junxiong had just saved his life. Seeing him asking for a fight, he took off the Tongbao Japanese sword on his waist and handed it out and said, "Use my knife, you and Qi Zhengyan will open the way!"

When the two Japanese pirates clasped their fists when they heard this, they had not forgotten the habits of their ancestors. They ran out with their swords and chased the gun and spear flags from left to right, and rushed to the front and jumped out. There was no one who could stop them when the swords were shining. In a blink of an eye, they broke over three or four people and tore the gap for the gun and spear flags. The enemy troops, who had several casualties, immediately scattered and left, and the flag troops followed them back to the mountain road.

Chen Mu felt relieved at this moment, and shouted that his subordinates would not pursue him. When he turned his head, he saw Wei Balang holding the Japanese sword jumping up and down. The little boy's duck voice in the voice change period was shouting loudly: "Longbow shot, shoot! Shoot them all over, give you all the money!"

This dead child has learned to lure his subordinates into benefit!

He barely fired two guns, and the enemy left more than ten bodies on the mountain road and fled without a trace. Chen Mu was anxious to see Shao Tingda. Moreover, Bai Yuanjie's subsequent Man Liao camp did not follow. He looked up at the top of the mountain that was still a long distance away and ordered: "Each flag counts the casualties, be prepared, and then the subsequent reinforcements feel that they will take down the camp in one fell swoop!"

After a count, there were no casualties in the Bird Gun Team, two of Wei Balang's Longbow Team were missing, three of them died and one seriously injured under Fu Yuan's banner, and they were still seriously injured. Lou Qimai's subordinates still had seven spearmen who could continue fighting. Two Japanese pirates were like tigers entering a flock of sheep to fight in close combat, and there were no opponents of the chaos. Chen Mu's command originally had nearly 60 people, but now only 38 reliable combat power is left.

After waiting for an incense stick, a small group of enemy troops came down from the mountain, but they could not break through the bird gunners and fired in a volley. Bai Yuanjie then led the Man Liao camp to come late. They separated from Chen Muqi on the way to attack the mountain. Because there were many people and many targets, they were intercepted and assaulted by more than 200 enemy troops along the way.

Chen Mu sighed after hearing this. Fortunately, he was quick to walk. If he led the banner army to meet this group of enemy troops, I am afraid that the Chen Banner would be wiped out.

"There are dozens of casualties in the Manliang Camp, how about your casualties?"

"Even me, there are thirty-eight people. I and Ruo Chuan were dispersed by the enemy." Chen Mu looked grim and pointed to the top of the mountain: "There should be less than 200 enemy troops to defend the mountain village to death. If you capture them, you will win this battle... I don't know what the battle in Xinjiang Town at the foot of the mountain is like."
