86. Muskets meet the enemy


Since Wang Shuo came to this world, he has been fighting for his life almost every day, and the cruelty of reality has made him have to mature day by day.He Jin increased his troops in Longzhong, and he already knew.Lu Wenbin sent heavy troops to block all the passes on both sides of the Wei River, just to eliminate Liang Min and the others who remained in Zhangxian County.He is unable to protect himself at the moment, and he is unable to return to help, and Zhangxian County is probably more than lucky.Now, the only place we can rely on is stability.Unable to keep the stability, there was no other way, he could only lead everyone into the surrounding villages that had already been occupied and were constantly consolidating and developing, learning the methods of the great men of the year, and fighting guerrillas with the Shun army.However, Li Zicheng will soon occupy Beijing, and the entry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty will not be far away.With this bit of manpower and resources to stabilize the surroundings, can he withstand the attack of the Manchu Eight Banners Iron Cavalry, and the final result is to be wiped out by the Manchus.Even if you are lucky enough to survive, you will be walking around in these mountains and fighting guerrilla warfare for the rest of your life.This is something he can't accept in any way.Stability must be kept, not lost.Only in this way can he drag He Jin from the rear and help Ma Yi hold Lanzhou.When Li Zicheng loses in Beijing, He Jin will definitely withdraw his troops to rescue Li Zicheng.At that time, he tried to find a way to take Lanzhou.Only in this way can he have a chance to get a city with enough population and resources to compete with the enemy army, and only then can he have room for maneuver.Niu Fangliang led 10,000 Shun troops, mighty, along the valley road washed out by the Guanchuan River, and marched to Anding.There are more than 10,000 people, boundless, all the way to the bandit militia, no one dares to approach, smooth and abnormal, and soon close to stability.The sentinel came to report, and the enemy ramparts were found ahead.Niu Fangliang urged the war horse, led a group of subordinates, walked up a gentle slope nearby, took out clairvoyance, and observed the enemy situation in front.In the narrow part of the road ahead, there was indeed a barrier built by the enemy.Behind the barrier, there are faintly more than 1,000 horses, holding firearms in their hands, waiting for the battle.There were also faint flags flying on the surrounding hills, and it seemed that the enemy had already taken precautions.He put down the clairvoyance in his hand, turned his head and said to his subordinates: "They don't have many people, and they plan to use this narrow place to block our army."

However, they made a big mistake, and they wanted to block our advance with muskets and birds, which was a joke," and all the subordinates nodded when they heard this.With just a few bird guns, how can you block the charge of the army If this is okay, Chongzhen does not have to be afraid of Huang Taiji's Eight Banners Army for a long time.Niu Fangliang ordered a commander beside him: "You lead your standard men and horses to advance side by side along the main road, and the front can order the soldiers to use the horse shield to block the enemy's guns." ”The commander of the brigade urged the horse to go.Niu Fangliang said to all his subordinates: "Everyone follow me, I want to break through the enemy's barrier with one go" The generals agreed with a bang, split up and went downhill, ordering their soldiers to prepare to advance.The commander of the brigade led his 1,000 men in four columns, and the shield-bearers in front raised their shields and slowly drove towards the narrow barrier in the valley.Wang Shuo was behind the barrier, watching Shunjun approach his side.The drums of war echoed in the valley, the trumpets contended, and the momentum was truly amazing.He couldn't help but nodded, King Zuo Jin lived up to his name, and his subordinates were rigorously arranged and uniform, which was by no means comparable to Lu Wenbin's stragglers."

Wait until the enemy is close to one hundred and twenty paces before firing," he ordered Hakesh beside him.He was worried that the enemy's shield would block the bullet, and if the bullet was blocked by the shield at a distance, it would lose power and would not be able to kill or damage the opponent's soldiers.The Shun army marched in a neat line, tens of thousands of feet on the yellow earth, dusty, and the sound of neat footsteps shook the entire valley.The shields are as if they were connected as a whole, and there are no gaps.Behind the swords and guns are like a forest, dazzling and shining in the newborn sun.Five hundred musketeers, divided into three rows in front and back, stood there silently waiting for orders, without any expression on their faces.Wang Shuo couldn't help but nod again.These soldiers all followed him all the way from Zhangxian to here, and after a long battle, they were no longer afraid of the enemy's momentum.Seeing that the enemy army was gradually approaching one hundred and twenty paces, Wang Shuo nodded slightly at Hakesh, and retreated to the hillside behind the firearms battalion with his own guards.Standing in front of the side of the horizontal line of musketeers, Hakesh drew his saber from his waist, raised it high, and shouted: "First row, aim" Five hundred musketeers lined up in three horizontal lines behind the rampart, and when they saw Hakesh raise their sabers, the first row quickly approached the rampart, raised the musket in his hand, and connected with the enemy troops in front of him through the light door and the front sight on the gun."

Put" Hakesh roared, a bit like a bolt from the blue, and then the saber in his hand swung down neatly, drawing a beautiful arc.With a continuous, firecracker-like sound, a line of blue smoke rose from behind the barrier, quickly rose into the air, and was blown away by the wind in the canyon, and the whole canyon was filled with the smell of sulfur saltpeter
