The longer the delay was, the more bandits and soldiers would gather on the island. How could Mao Dusi give the bandits a chance to gather their troops? He immediately led a group of officers and soldiers and rushed towards the bandits in front.
Around the General Military Mansion, there were many recruits with the Tiger Flag running around like headless flies. Faced with the sudden enemy attack, everyone became in danger.
boom! boom! boom!
As soon as Mao Dusi and others approached, soldiers with tiger-shaped flags came out from the surrounding courtyards and behind the courtyard walls, holding firecrackers.
Several officers and soldiers who rushed to the front were knocked to the ground on the spot.
"Rush over and kill them!"
Mao Dusi knew in his heart that he could never retreat at this time. As long as he rushed over, he would win.
Originally, some officers and soldiers had retreated when they saw a group of thieves using firecrackers suddenly appeared in front of them, but with Mao Dusi's encouragement, they followed behind them and continued to charge forward.
"Don't run around. Form a formation. Form a formation quickly. Those with weapons in their hands should be at the front, and those without weapons should stand at the back." Someone in the crowd of soldiers holding firecrackers shouted loudly.
The confused recruits heard the order, and most of the recruits subconsciously stood together in rows according to the training pattern.
Recruits were trained with long guns. Because the long guns were not enough, some wooden guns were added.
Soon, the first two rows of the queue were filled with recruits holding long spears and wooden guns. Only in the third row were recruits without any weapons in their hands.
boom! boom! boom!
Just as the new soldiers were forming a team, the surrounding Tiger Flag soldiers fired their muskets again.
This time, because the distance was closer, the officers and soldiers who rushed over suffered more casualties.
"Scatter them away." Mao Dusi raised the knife in his hand and pointed at the battle formation just formed in front.
As an experienced Ming army general, he could tell at a glance that those who formed a battle formation were easier to deal with than those who used firecrackers.
The soldiers on the Tiger Flag also realized that the new soldiers might not be able to block the incoming officers and soldiers, so they rushed to reload the firecrackers in their hands, and used the firecrackers to kill as many officers and soldiers as possible before the officers and soldiers came forward.
As another series of gunshots were fired, there were no officers or soldiers blocking Mao Dusi's eyes, and he was now the one at the front.
Moreover, the fire blunderbuss in the hands of the Tiger Flag soldier had just been shot, but he had already appeared in front of the formation of new soldiers, and he would be able to rush forward in seven or eight steps.
"prick!"
Someone in the array suddenly shouted, and the recruits standing in the front three rows subconsciously thrust their spears forward.
Mao Dusi raised his knife high and was about to kill the nearest person, only to feel a huge force coming from his chest, preventing him from moving forward.
He glanced down.
Only then did he realize that the tip of a wooden gun was pressed against the goggles on his chest.
As one of the generals who attacked Pi Island, he wore a cotton-padded armor and had a breast shield specially sewn on his chest. Unexpectedly, he was saved by the breast shield that was later sewn onto the cotton armor.
However, before he could rejoice for too long, he noticed from the corner of his eye that another spear was stabbing him on the right side, and his body immediately moved to the left side to avoid it, followed by a sharp pain.
He looked towards the spot on his body where the pain was coming from.
At some point, a spear pierced the cotton armor on the left side of his body and penetrated into the body protected by the cotton armor.
Poof!
Before he could pull out the spear from his body, the spear on the right side was also pierced into his body.
Blood overflowed from the corners of his mouth, his legs knelt down uncontrollably, and the two spears inserted into his body also pressed down with his body.
Although the tip of the wooden gun blocked by the breastplate on his chest was pressed down a little, it was not pressed down as much as the other two spears. Instead, it slipped away from the breastplate and stabbed directly in the throat.
Mao Dusi, who had been stabbed three times in the body, felt his body getting colder and colder, his limbs gradually began to lose control, and his eyelids became heavier and heavier.
When all three spears were pulled out of his body, his whole body collapsed to the ground like a pile of rotten flesh, and he could only breathe out but not in.
Like him, there were several officers and soldiers who were stabbed by spears.
Some of the officers and soldiers who were stabbed were stabbed by only one spear, some were stabbed by two spears, and the most one was stabbed by four spears.
Moreover, most of these officers and soldiers were only wearing ordinary clothes and had no defense at all against the spears thrust towards them.
The new recruits in the array did not end up thrusting their spears once. Instead, they thrust out their spears several times in a row in the following period. They stopped thrusting out their spears when no enemies were approaching.
However, after only thrusting the spear a few times, there were twenty or thirty more corpses on the ground.
The remaining officers and soldiers saw that they could not kill the people in front of them, but instead killed and wounded many of their companions. In addition, the general Mao Dusi who led them to rush over was also killed. The remaining officers and soldiers scattered in groups and fled in the direction that the rout had always been. go.
As soon as the officers and soldiers fled, the morale of the new soldiers in the array was immediately boosted. They raised their spears and chased after them. Even if there were soldiers in the rear who refused to let them pursue them several times, they could not call them back.
In desperation, they had no choice but to let these recruits chase the enemy, while the soldiers put bayonets on their muskets and followed closely behind the recruits to hold down the formation for them.
"Damn, this didn't work." Mao Wenlong, who stayed behind, couldn't help cursing when he saw the officers and soldiers retreating.
Seeing that the sneak attack was about to succeed, the thieves who emerged used firecrackers to intercept the officers and soldiers, giving more thieves time to assemble the team.
"Commander Commander, please retreat, my subordinates will escort you away from the cliff."
The officers and soldiers returning from the rout in the front were getting closer and closer to them, and the soldiers around Mao Wenlong couldn't help but persuade Mao Wenlong to leave.
"withdraw!"
The sneak attack failed. Mao Wenlong was very decisive and immediately evacuated towards the cliff with the officers and soldiers who stayed with him.
Of course, it's not that they can't evacuate in other directions, but that Pi Island is at sea. As long as they search the island after dawn, there is no hiding place at all, so they can only escape from the island by boat from the cliff.
Mao Wenlong was guarded by two soldiers. Even though it was still dark, his movements were not slow at all, and he quickly escaped to the cliff on Pi Island.
Even a team of officers and soldiers who went to keep an eye on the people on the island were called back.
"The general is in trouble, something happened."
As the voice fell, an armor-clad officer and soldier ran up panting from under the city wall.
"Let him come over." Wu Zimian asked his soldiers not to stop this man.
The other party quickly came to Wu Zimian and said eagerly: "General, Zhenwu Gate has been captured. A large number of traitors are entering the city from Zhenwu Gate and heading towards Zhenyuan Gate."
"Why did Zhenwu Sect fall? Isn't Li Kaiyang sitting there?" Wu Zimian asked with an ugly face.
