Chapter 331: Escape (1)
"Kill the barbarians and expel the barbarians!"
The army, like a tide, rushed to the dock area in an instant, gasping, hissing, and screaming.
In the rolling dust, two armies were fighting each other.[..com]
"Baopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopao!" The continuous sound of muskets fell over and over again, and the war horses neighed and rolled in pain, while the remaining Hu people roared and continued to move forward with their sabers.
"Go forward!" Someone ordered.
When the two armies faced off, the army shouted in unison, shaking the earth. After shouting, the morale was greatly boosted, and Lu Suhai, as the commander, also felt excited.
On the opposite side are two thousand Hu soldiers. Although these Hu soldiers are small in number, they do not surrender. The so-called "persuasion of surrender" eventually breaks down and can only be calmed through war and blood.
Lu Suhai looked at the left and right, and the officers who followed him, both older and slightly childish soldiers, were eager to try.
Among them, the young captain who was born in the martial arts hall had lost his tenderness and became steady after several battles. He was more vigorous and vigorous. This kind of sharpness that young officers often had made Lu Suhai sigh, although he was actually an absolute young man.
There were 10,000 people entering the port to fight, and other troops were defending the ships. These troops were used to fight the Hu people. Lu Suhai first felt that 10,000 people were more than enough to fight 2,000, and secondly, he was to train the new army of muskets and new officers in the martial arts hall that he had just joined.
Lu Suhai could not say how many opportunities would be to train new recruits in the future, but the establishment of a naval master course in the martial arts hall gave him some comfort. It seemed that the court would at least not cancel the naval master.
"go ahead!"
"Baopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopao!" The muskets fired, and there were no bullets or smoke. When the smoke was abundant, a row of Hu people were knocked over to the ground and rolled on the ground and screamed loudly.
The musket has appeared for several years. With huge bounties, the Ministry of Works and the Shaofu have improved their technology many times. Now the musket is excellent, with a high range of 60 steps, and has begun to catch up with bows and arrows.
The number of musketeers was only 2,000, including 500 veterans and 1,500 new recruits.
The so-called new recruits are actually qualified to shoot and kill, but they are not on the battlefield and have fewer things. This time they are making them mature on the battlefield.
At this moment, a rider rushed towards the high platform. The man was shaking a small flag in his hand, the banner official conveying the news in the formation.
With this person's arrival, the personal soldiers on the platform saw the content of the flag language. Immediately someone came to Lu Suhai's approach and knelt down and said, "Grandmaster, a Hu army in the city, with a population of about 3,000, has rushed to the south of the formation!"
Lu Suhai on the high platform looked at the changing square formation around him, showing a smile, and his smile faded the next moment, saying, "I already know."
With the musket team in hand, let him give the Hu people a great shot!
Standing on the platform with Lu Suhai to watch the formation and the generals of the army, they were full of confidence in the Grand Governor. Although most of the enemies were cavalry, they used the musket array to defend the enemy, and with many firearms on the ships, they were not worried.
The only worry may be whether the expected results can be achieved and the Hu people will be defeated in one fell swoop.
The flag bearer on the high platform kept waving the small flag in his hand. The flags were of different colors and had their own usages and were constantly changing. This was to convey military orders, and the military formation also changed at any time due to the changes of the small flag.
Each team has a flag bearer who conveys the news. It is still possible to convey the order at this time. Soon the southern army formation saw the news of Hu Bing.
Lu Suhai ordered: "Let the musketeers and archers in the south take action immediately and face the enemy on the spot!"
"No!" The flag bearer immediately responded to No, waved the flag in his hand and conveyed the message to the south.
The distant horizon emanated from thick smoke and dust, and the sound of horse hooves like thunder. The black cavalry rushed in from the south. When they reached a certain distance, they slowed down. The team gradually became tighter. After a moment, they accelerated violently, urging the horses, and rushed up like wind and clouds.
"Preparation!" The musketeers took out the fixed-loaded paper tube bullets in the oil bag and quickly loaded them up.
"Aim!" The voice of the person who initiated the order changed a little. Seeing the Hu army rushing in front, the horses were crowded with horses and the sound of hooves was like thunder, and many soldiers showed a look of horror.
"shooting!"
"Baopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopa
"shooting!"
"Smack it!"
"shooting!"
"Smack it!"
The gunshots were row after row, and three rounds of shooting continued. According to the requirements, the shooting was once every thirty seconds, and a thick white smoke covered the front.
The officer did not order a ceasefire and continued to issue orders until three consecutive platoons, a total of nine times, before the ceasefire was stopped and the smoke disappeared before checking the results.
This is based on the results obtained from experiments. At this rate of fire, if the musket is in charge nine times, the smoked musket must be cooled, otherwise there will be a risk of explosion at high temperatures.
After nine consecutive shots, the smoke of gunpowder dissipated. In the range of twenty to sixty steps, there were dense rolling and screaming in Hu Bing. Some people beat Si on the spot, and some people screamed in blood.
Looking at the terrifying scene in front of him, Hu Bing quickly looked horrified in the distance, and some people even screamed at the top of their lungs.
Seeing the result of the battle, Lu Suhai was very surprised and murmured: "The musket is getting more and more powerful. I am afraid that in the future, not only will it be water battles and defending the city, but also field battles."
The cavalry were spinning around in place, and for a moment, these Hu cavalry did not dare to step forward.
"Thousands of households, Han people are powerful firearms!" someone said.
The Qianhu, the leader, strangled his pedals with a little irritable force, looked around and said, "How can I rush over?"
Qianhu had never encountered this situation before. The air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder and a bloody smell. In just a moment, three hundred cavalrymen were beaten.
It was one-tenth of si in a minute, and I couldn't afford such casualties.
"Qianhu! You have an idea!" The vanguards sent out to test the enemy's virtuality and reality basically did not come back. This situation is not very good.
"What did you see when you are in the inspection?" Qianhu roared in depression and said in silence.
"No!" Someone looked at it immediately.
A mile ahead, there are strict military formations in front of the harbor.
The central army was infantry, and behind it was a cavalry of about 300 people. That was fine. Three rows of musketeers in front were quietly lined up, and the dark muzzles had been discharged, which made all the Hu people feel cold.
Qianhu was secretly chilled when he saw this situation and sniffed: "Fast team up!"
The Hu army quickly formed the formation. At this time, only the sound of killing in the port gradually subsided, and the sound of drums sounded, and thousands of musketeers came out of the port with muskets.
Seeing this, Qianhu fell silent. If he said that when he first entered the Central Plains, he was arrogant and held his head high, he was the strongest army and the most powerful warrior in the world. No one could stop his progress.
At that time, there was no dissatisfaction or desire to retreat, even if it was a battle on the battlefield.
But now the luck has gone, and once the luck has gone, morale will be low and unfaithful, and the same is true for this person.
Seeing that the Han army was like a military sea, I was afraid that there would be more than tens of thousands and more battles, and I would be able to take these three thousand people here without meaningful consumption.
Anyway, Youzhou can't be defended anymore, so it's better to go back to the grassland, take the things you can take away when you go back and set off immediately. Thinking of this, he said, "Get out of your troops and go back to the city!"
The Hu army came quickly and retreated quickly, and soon evacuated from the battlefield.
Suddenly, cheers immediately came out on the battlefield.
"Governor, we have taken this port."
"Grandmaster, there are only a few thousand Hu troops in the city. We can conquer and make a great contribution." The generals around him said one after another, making Lu Suhai smile.
Lu Suhai quickly passed the order: "Reward the whole army's meat tonight."
He said again, "Repair the port immediately, the army set up camp, and send cavalry to check the movements of the Hu people immediately and stay alert!"
Although the navy actually had hundreds of cavalry, it was used to keep in touch and finally protect the general.
After ordering, the sailors on the ship came up continuously, extinguishing the burning fires, cleaning the bodies one by one, and officers divided the camps and placed the wounded soldiers.
After this set was completed, supplies from the rear were sent continuously. In the open space, they cooked broth and stewed meat. Except for the soldiers on patrol and guarded, each battalion distinguished the camp clearly and found a suitable position to sit down and wait for the meal.
Because there was a ship carrying food, there was not much time, baskets of fresh meat were sent, and sealed cans were also sent.
Dried meat, vegetables and other items were used to cook soup, and fresh meat was used to grill for eating. After a while, the whole camp was filled with a strong meat aroma.
The soldiers were very quiet and started to rest after eating meat and drinking broth.
But at this moment, the cavalry rushed back.
Lu Suhai was having a meal, and the port was captured, and the city below was also a county town. I had to plan carefully, and then I thought about it and saw the personal soldiers outside bringing an officer in.
Lu Suhai smiled and said, "You are back now, what's the matter?"
"Grandmaster!" The team immediately said: "It's not right in the city. Hu army is retreating overnight. There are many torches and noises!"
Lu Suhai was shocked and stood up and stared at him: "Really?"
The team was immediately saying, "Yes, we brothers still depended on it. It's true that the Hu people are about to escape..."
Lu Suhai's face turned blue: "Come here!"
Several personal soldiers came in and replied: "Here!"
"Send the order and immediately ask the generals to gather, and immediately order the cavalry to reorganize the army and wait for the order."
"No!" The personal soldiers immediately went out and conveyed the order.
When Lu Suhai saw his personal soldiers go out, he wandered around the camp for a few moments. Many thoughts emerge in his heart, and for a moment, he smiled bitterly.
The Hu people are also humans. When the situation is over, they will also flee and fall apart. The hard battle they were originally prepared may not be needed.
But even so, we must beware of the Hu people pretending to leave the city and really raid, after all, the enemy is a cavalry.
