boom!
The fire gun was fired, and the monk opposite who was targeted by Chen Guang fell down, and the simple sword in his hand fell to the ground.
The monks who originally rushed towards the peasants and soldiers were all stunned when they heard the sound of the gunshots.
Many people even looked at the monk who was lying on the ground twitching.
Not all of the monks are wanted criminals in official uniforms who have killed people and seen blood. There are also many ordinary people who are just strong and tall, because they have some relationship with the monks in the Bujie Temple, or they are tall and are not allowed to fight. The Jie Temple valued him and took him to the mountain to become a warrior monk.
The Bujie Temple is very prosperous, and many temple fields are rented to tenants at the foot of the mountain. It can be said that the Bujie Temple is not short of gold or silver. The tenants may not have enough to eat, but as long as they are selected as warrior monks, they can not only fill their stomachs , and there is wine and meat to eat every now and then, which is better than what ordinary monks eat.
This makes everyone eager to become a monk.
As a result, it is inevitable that there will be some people who are pretending to be here. In addition, due to the prestige of the Bujie Temple, there are usually no major incidents. When something happens, it is enough to have a few important criminals wanted by the government. Most of the monks only They would bully and bully the tenants who rented the temple fields.
Someone suddenly died right now.
Those monks who were just pretending to be a monk began to be afraid. They didn't want to die as long as they were alive. They were just making a living as monks. Even the important officials in the government began to hesitate.
boom! boom! boom!
Several fire gunmen among the peasant soldiers finally loaded their fire guns and fired at the dazed monks in front of them.
The distance between the two sides is no more than a dozen steps at most, and the closest one is less than ten steps.
Although the peasants and soldiers were scared, after such a long period of training and the close distance between the two sides, all the peasants and soldiers' fire cannons hit the target. Even if they did not hit the vital points, they still hit the enemy's limbs or On the shoulders.
Several screams came from the crowd of monks.
This made the already panicked monks start to retreat.
boom!
The squatting tiger cannon brought by the peasants and soldiers finally fired, and countless iron sand and iron balls flew towards the monk who was facing the front of the cannon.
Poof! Poof! Poof!
With the sound of iron sand piercing into the flesh, three or four monks were killed on the spot, their bodies lying in front of everyone.
The monks finally couldn't bear it anymore and fled one after another.
On the other hand, the morale of the peasants and soldiers was greatly boosted. After the brief battle, most of the peasants and soldiers returned to their normal state during training, and some even became excited.
"Lancers, advance."
This time Chen Guang did not need to give an order. The peasant and soldier squad leader who observed the battle situation gave the order directly.
More than thirty spearmen advanced in formation.
The steps taken by each person are not too big, but it ensures that every farmer and soldier takes the same steps, and there will be no chaos in the array as it advances.
The musketeers followed on both sides of the spearmen. They had just finished shooting a musket and were reloading the musket in their hands with gunpowder and lead.
The morale of the peasants and soldiers was strong, and the gunners among the peasants and soldiers no longer panicked. They loaded gunpowder to keep their hands steady. Everything was in order according to the usual training.
boom! boom! boom!
Before the spearmen among the peasants and soldiers took over the enemy, the gunmen who had just loaded the gunpowder began to fire their guns at the chaotic crowd of monks in front.
Although there is no guarantee that every shot will take away a life, due to the short distance, almost every three shots will definitely hit a target.
The monks who were hit by the fire shot were either dead or injured, and these monks did not have any armor on their bodies. They only wore a single layer of clothing. Facing the fire shot, they had no room for buffering, and they relied entirely on their physical bodies to resist.
Boom!
The door of the Bujie Temple was suddenly closed, and a dozen monks were locked outside the temple door.
The monks who were locked out of the temple beat the temple door with their fists, and some monks tried to push the temple door open with their bodies.
Unfortunately, no matter what they did, the temple door did not open.
Seeing that they could not enter the temple, many monks began to curse outside the temple gate.
"go ahead."
The peasant and soldier captains moved forward with an array of spearmen, passing corpses on the ground. When they encountered injured monks who were not dead, they would poke them with their spears, inflicting pain on them.
Seeing that they could not return to the temple, some monks knelt down on the ground and began to beg for mercy.
First, a few people knelt down to beg for mercy, and then all the monks outside the temple knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
The peasant and soldier captain encountered such a situation for the first time, and suddenly he didn't know what to do.
The spearmen array under his leadership stopped a few steps away from the monks.
"prick!"
I don't know who suddenly shouted.
The peasants and soldiers in the front row subconsciously thrust out the spears in their hands, and the spear heads stabbed the monks in front.
More than thirty spears almost instantly took away the lives of these warrior monks outside the temple gate.
"Remember, the battlefield can change instantly, and there will be no mercy." Chen Guang walked up from behind.
"Remember, remember." The peasant and soldier captain responded stutteringly.
Chen Guang glanced at the peasant and soldier captain and knew that the captain was still unable to adapt to the current situation.
If this time he had brought warriors from several combat divisions, he might have tried to accept the surrender of these monks, but these farmers and soldiers were different. If they encountered a slight setback, their success might be ruined. He didn't dare to gamble. , these monks can only be killed to ensure the safety of the peasants and soldiers.
Less than thirty corpses were left outside the Bujie Temple. In addition to the warrior monks, there were also several ordinary monks wearing monk robes.
"Be prepared to hit the wood and the door." Chen Guang told the peasant and soldier captain.
The door of the Bujie Temple was closed. He did not think that the monks in the temple would take the initiative to open the door, so he prepared to forcefully break the door and enter the Bujie Temple.
The peasant and soldier captain didn't have time to think too much, so he called several peasant soldiers to prepare to hit the wood.
"You ride a fast horse back to the county seat and tell the county magistrate and the guards about the situation of the Bujie Temple."
The office space in the town is an ordinary courtyard, with wing rooms on both sides and several main rooms at the back. A wooden board is posted in front of the courtyard door with the name of the town office.
Chen Guang walked out of the town office gate.
A team of more than thirty to forty peasants and soldiers had gathered outside the door. In addition to the peasants and soldiers, there were also several grain tax collectors and a four-wheeled cart.
"Report to the mayor, the team has been assembled."
The captain of the peasant and soldier team came to Chen Guang and raised his right arm across his chest in salute.
Although the peasant soldiers are not regular troops, their team structure is based on the template of the regular army. The only thing lacking is that the training time of the peasant soldiers is not as long as that of the regular army, and the food is also a little worse. They can only eat enough, and there is no guarantee that they will have meat and eggs for every meal. A lot of them are things that have been eliminated by the regular army.
Chen Guang nodded and said loudly: "Order the team to advance towards Bujie Temple."
The peasant and soldier team leader turned around, faced his team, and shouted: "The target is Bujie Temple, let's go."
Peasants and soldiers who had received professional military training lined up in neat lines and began to move forward.
In the team, most of the peasant soldiers walked at the front holding long guns, in the middle was a team of peasant soldiers holding matchlock guns, and at the end was a peasant soldier carrying a squatting tiger cannon on his shoulder.
The grain tax officer followed the four-wheeled cart.
Chen Guang got on the horse that the policeman had brought over, and led several policemen to the front of the team.
