Chapter 555 Ambush, Sacrifice, Preparation
Fang Xingbu had already walked half of this dangerous road, as long as they walked another mile, no one would be able to ambush them here. "『Ω』Ww"W. Lie Wen. CC
"It shouldn't be!"
Xu Jingchang heard Fang Xing muttering, and asked, "Fang Xing, let's go out right away, what should we do?"
going out soon...
half way...
before and after...
Seeing Fang Xing's body trembling slightly, Xu Jingchang made fun of him, "Fang Xing, don't get it..."
"The whole army is on alert, put on armor!"
Xu Jingchang's words were interrupted by Fang Xing's stern shout.
With Fang Xing's order, the baggage battalion wrapped in the middle immediately took out the plate armor, and then there was the sound of metal clashing when putting on the armor.
Xu Jingchang said in surprise, "Fang Xing, what did you find?"
Fang Xing's gaze was fixed on the forest on the left. When a bright light caught his eyes, his expression darkened, and he shouted, "Qin Manbu blocks the left wing, immediately!"
Although Qin Man was puzzled, he still led the team to protect the left side. Just when his long spear array was formed, a burst of horns came from the forest on the left...
"Woo woo woo..."
"******"
With the sound of horns, countless rebels rushed out of the forest, brandishing knives and guns, rushing towards this side with hideous expressions.
Everyone is sluggish!
The spearmen who had just lined up looked at each other, only feeling trembling in their hearts.
Qin Man gritted his teeth and shouted: "Steady..."
Xu Jingchang lost his composure and grabbed Fang Xing's arm, his body trembling slightly.
Fang Xing glanced at the Musketeers who were putting on their armor...
The distance was more than 300 meters, and at the speed of these rebels, they arrived in an instant, and the musketeers only wore most of their plate armor.
Unarmored Musketeers,
When facing an enemy army with bows and arrows, the casualties can make Fang Xing crazy.
Four or five thousand people from the rebels in front had rushed out, but people kept coming out of the forest.
Tens of thousands of people!
It is not bad if the long spear array in front can block half of the incense stick at most, and it will definitely be a massacre.
What Fang Xing didn't know was that Liu Sheng was defeated by such a sudden ambush, and the whole army was defeated! He himself died in battle. Those civil officials took the opportunity to speak, and Zhu Zhanji gave up Cochin.
"Tabuchet! Drop the medicine bag!"
Fang Xing shouted with a stern face, and the three small steel trebuchets on the side of the luggage immediately started working.
The winch stirs, and then places a round powder bag wrapped in cotton cloth.
"ignition!"
The fuse on the powder pack was ignited.
"put……"
"Bang bang bang!"
There were three muffled sounds, and three gunpowder packets were thrown out, targeting the rebels who were rushing madly.
If there are enough people in the long spear array, enough layers, and the support of archers, the defensive ability is really not good enough.
But a gun array in a thousand households is facing the impact of tens of thousands of people, that is the fate that will be taken away by a wave.
So those rebels were all beaming, especially a short-bearded man who just rode his horse out of the forest couldn't help laughing.
"Ming Ming is finished, today I want to capture Fang Xing alive, let Ming people be frightened! Hahahaha..."
As long as Fang Xing is captured, or even killed, the southern part of Cochin will be completely corrupted. And the influence will gradually spread to the north, when the rebels can take advantage of the lack of morale and weakness of the Ming army to launch a counterattack.
"Boom boom boom!"
Three loud bangs broke the man's laughter, and he stared dumbfounded at the three big gaps in the dense crowd just now.
The shock stopped.
In the three circles with a diameter of more than ten meters, the intact people who were bombed near the center could not be found.
The corpses on the side were covered in wounds. As for the corpses further away, they were either blown to the ground by the air waves or hit by iron nails.
What's this?
Three gunpowder packs wrapped with many iron nails immediately stalled the attack.
The short-bearded man was shocked and immediately ordered: "Rush up, rush up immediately, the supervising team goes forward, and those who retreat will be killed without mercy!"
"Woo woo woo..."
The horn sounded again, and the rebels, driven by the Overseers, began to regroup.
"Run faster, as long as everyone is entangled together, they won't dare to let go of this damn thing!"
This couldn't be more correct, so the speed of the rebels suddenly increased, and they were approaching sixty meters.
"put!"
"Bang bang bang!"
The three gunpowder bags flew up again, but they couldn't stop the two sides from fighting each other.
"Boom boom boom!"
At the same time as the explosion sounded, a rain of arrows poured towards the Ming army.
"kill!"
"Puff puff!"
The spear pierced into the human body, and then quickly pulled it out, but there was no chance to stab forward.
"ah!"
Several rows of spearmen behind were shot by arrows one after another, and the first row was also on the verge of life and death.
A rebel took advantage of the opportunity to close his gun and rushed into the formation, cut off an arm with a single knife, and was stabbed to the ground by the spear behind him.
But the crowd was surging, and there were loopholes everywhere in the insufficiently dense spear array, and they were broken into many places in a blink of an eye.
The short-bearded man saw the striker break through, and couldn't help saying happily: "Press them all up, I will wake up alive if I capture them!"
"kill!"
A spearman just stabbed a person, but he could only watch helplessly as a spear made of bamboo was inserted into his chest.
Countless spears were flying, and the first row was gone in an instant, and the second row was submerged by the crowd after only holding on for a minute longer...
Xu Jingchang pulled out his long knife with a livid complexion, and surrounded by guards, he said in a deep voice, "Fang Xing, it's time for Yu Qianli!"
Fang Xing glanced at the Musketeers who had already started to tie their belts, and said flatly, "No, they are the reserve team."
"Boom boom boom!"
The third wave of gunpowder packs exploded, and the third row of spearmen was also broken through, and there was only one row behind who could maintain a neat formation. The rest were either injured by arrows, or were overwhelmed by the enemy's momentum, and the formation was scattered. .
"The cars line up!"
Xin Laoqi finally coordinated and installed the car array, and then the drivers pushed the cars over one by one.
The cargo on these cars has been unloaded, and the front is now full of long guns.
A long row of cars with long guns strapped to them lined up, and the last row of long gunners had also collapsed.
"Beep..." The long whistle of retreat came.
"retreat……"
Qin Man covered his shoulders and shouted, and then fled back with his men from the gap left by the car formation.
The dozens of people who did not have time to retreat were all submerged under the chaotic swords of the chasing soldiers.
Fang Xing's eyelids twitched, and he shouted, "Array."
"Puff puff!"
After those rebels beheaded the lagging Ming army, when they wanted to charge forward again, they couldn't help but stagnate.
Under the sun, the long guns on the stretch of vehicles gleamed coldly, and the last gap was filled.
"Those who do not enter will be killed!"
There was a scream from behind. It was the supervisory team beheading the rebels who refused to advance.
"*****"
If you don't enter, you will die, but if you rush up, there may be a way to survive.
Driven by this momentum, the rebels rushed forward roaring, and the archers lost no time in throwing shots.
"Puff puff!"
The neat queue ignored the flying arrows and walked behind the car formation. The sun shone on the plate armor, and the reflected light hurt the eyes of the short-bearded man.
Is this Fang Xing's background - Musketeer?
A chill permeated the ranks of the rebels.
"Ding ding ding!"
The musketeers just hung down slightly, and the arrows made a crisp sound after hitting the plate armor, and then fell.
These musketeers, who looked like ghosts, made the rebels tremble in their hearts, but they had no choice but to rush over.
"first row……"
