When Su He saw the specific deployment of officers and soldiers, he immediately held an emergency combat meeting.
“I made changes to my tactical arrangements based on the actual situation.
The grenadier platoon had two grenades each, and the remaining grenades were reserved for the first company.
I led a company to attack the officers and soldiers with grenades above Wo Niu Slope.
Su Xiong led the second and third companies and immediately rushed down Wo Niu Slope after our attack began.
The main task is to annihilate all the servants, defeat the remaining officers and soldiers, and seize the army's baggage, especially the three cannons. "
Su He changed his tactics and could not fight a war of attrition with the government troops.
We must take advantage of the landmines to cause confusion among the officers and soldiers and defeat them.
Give the officers and soldiers time to react, even if the mine array wipes out most of the servants.
The officers and soldiers also had enough time to load the cannon with shotgun shells.
Charged with three cannons firing shotguns, his team was immediately crippled.
It was noon now, and Zhao Qing led his men to Woniupo.
"Hurry up and get to Sujia Village before dark. I'll slap you for your moaning."
Zhao Qing was riding on a horse, with more than 300 servants in armor surrounding him.
He saw an ordinary soldier walking slowly, almost leaving the team, and immediately started to yell and curse.
Dian Shi Wang Kong came over on horseback and said: "Zhao Qianhu, can your soldiers fight? They don't feel as strong as mine."
Wang Kong looked at the guard soldier who was walking slowly with his waist bent.
Except for the servants in armor, they all looked disheveled and looked very thin. At a glance, they could tell they were malnourished due to long-term starvation.
The young men under his command were all shiny and had strong bodies.
Zhao Qing snorted, pointed at his servants, and said: "Look at their armor, these are my elite troops. I have a hundred archers and two hundred sword and shield soldiers.
Not counting my hundreds of firearms servants.
Just my three hundred servants can kill your more than 800 unarmored soldiers.
What's more, there are just over 500 rebels, so it's easy to destroy them. "
Zhao Qing pointed to the three cannons towed by carriages behind the team.
“This is my treasure, and even the walls of the county town can’t stop a shot from this thing.
Not to mention the small and broken village of Sujia Village. Once my cannon is fired, the rebels can continue to resist. "
"Is this gun okay?"
Wang Kong, the Dianshi, said with a questioning look on his face: "I heard that the cannons cast by your guards were sold to Shaanxi Dusi, and those cannons were all exploded."
"Everyone knows that Dusi allocated 500 taels of silver for a cannon, but I only have 100 taels of silver left in my hand.
I took out eighty taels of silver and asked my men to cast ten cannons. I did not dare to use the finished cannons.
The cannons I use are all cannons with sufficient materials. No craftsman dares to deceive me. "
Zhao Qing looked at Dianshi Wang Kong with an envious look on his face, and he felt great satisfaction.
Dianshi Wang Kong saw the dangerous terrain of Wo Niupo ahead.
He usually doesn't like reading military books, but he likes to read novels such as "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
"Zhao Qianhu, the terrain here is dangerous, will we be ambushed by rebels?
I think it's easy to get ambushed in places like "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". "
Zhao Qing glanced at it with disdain and said: "You don't understand war. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms was written by literati, so there is no good military book.
Can there be an ambush in this place? There are really rebels rushing down.
My sword and shield soldiers stood forward, and the archers fired several volleys. If that didn't work, they could still use cannons.
Which rebel can withstand my offensive?
Do not worry! If you gentry provide enough money, I will completely wipe out the rebels.
The reputation of our Zhao family for collecting money to do things is unknown to everyone in Fengxiang Mansion. "
After hearing this, Dian Shi Wang Kong felt that he was worrying too much.
They are just small rebels occupying a village.
He also learned about the rebel attack from official documents.
They all coerced the people, armed with hoes and sickles, and charged in a chaotic manner.
Su He saw that the troops in front of the army had passed through the mine array.
He didn't take any action. These were all motley crews.
By the time the official army's servants arrived, more than half of them were within the attack range of the mine array.
Su He lit the grenade in his hand and threw it down.
At the same time, an order was issued: "Start attacking."
Two platoons of soldiers in a company began to light the grenades in their hands and threw them down.
Su Xiong led the remaining team to run down Woniu Slope.
Zhou Kai squatted in the pit, waiting for the signal to launch an attack.
Because of his meritorious service last time, he was transferred to the second platoon as squad leader. This time he volunteered to ambush here and light the match.
He took out the water hyacinth from his waist, took a sip of water, ate two more bites of toasted buns, and continued to wait.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The sound of grenade explosions kept ringing outside, and Zhou Kai immediately took out his fire rope and lit the match rope next to him.
At the same time, the other two soldiers also lit the match.
Zhao Qing was chatting with Dianshi Wang Kong on the official road when he suddenly saw something thrown down from the top of Wo Niu Slope.
"There is really an ambush, haha, this stone is too small."
With a bang, the grenade exploded among the officers and soldiers.
Then a large dense rain of bullets fell.
Explosions continued, and the BMW Zhao Qing sat on was killed by shrapnel.
He held the knife and prepared to run out. It was too dangerous here.
He saw a servant who was not at the center of the explosion. Even though he was wearing armor, he was directly penetrated by shrapnel and died.
Zhao Qing only felt that he seemed to be flying, and then lost consciousness.
Su He stood on Wo Niu Slope and saw the mine array being detonated.
Rumblings continued, smoke filled the entire battlefield, and huge flashes of light flashed from time to time in the smoke.
Su He stood on the top of Wo Niu Slope and could hear the wails from the officers and soldiers.
The soldiers, unable to see below because of the smoke, threw grenades in the direction of the sound.
Soon, most of the smoke from the battlefield dissipated, and both warring parties could see each other.
Su He saw that Su Xiong and the others had already run down Wo Niu Slope and were about to make contact with the officers and soldiers.
He asked the soldiers to stop throwing grenades to prevent accidental damage to friendly troops.
Su Xiong led the grenadier platoon to charge, with other teams following behind them.
Su He stood on Wo Niu Slope and observed the entire battle situation.
There were very few casualties among the soldiers in the front line of the official army, but they were all frightened and were running around. Some of them had lost all their weapons.
Su Xiong encountered them first, threw a few grenades, and these people were captured.
The servants suffered the worst. They were set on fire by mine arrays and almost all of them were wiped out.
There were only a dozen archers and twenty arquebusiers left, led by a Ming officer, hiding behind the baggage train.
They were also preparing to unload the cannon from the carriage.
Most of the young men were not injured and simply turned around and ran away.
When Su Xiong saw that there were only about 30 officers and soldiers left, he led more than 400 people and immediately launched a charge.
During the charge, sparse arrows flew past Su Xiong.
He also heard several gunshots, followed by screams from around him.
He ran at the front, and a musketeer aimed at him, but the accuracy of the matchlock was poor, and the lead bullets deflected.
Suhe can see it more clearly from above Wo Niu Slope.
The official musketeers were very calm and divided their matchlocks into two groups and fired continuously.
As soon as our team ran a few hundred meters in front of the official formation, more than 30 people were hit by bows, arrows or muskets and fell.
Su He was very surprised that the Ming army did not run away after suffering such heavy casualties.
Only more than thirty people can cause such heavy casualties to the troops.
The quality of the soldiers and the level of command demonstrated by this official army were outstanding in the era of black powder firearms.
The soldiers in the guard station are so powerful, and Ming Dynasty can beat Jiannu to the point where he can't hold his head up.
Su Xiong braved the hail of bullets and rushed to a place fifty meters away from the Ming army.
He lit the match of the grenade and threw the grenade at the Ming army.
With a bang, the grenade blew up the carriage blocking the front.
The officers and soldiers behind the carriage were also knocked unconscious by the flying wood.
"Heroes in front, we surrender, don't blow up."
Su Zhuang's eyes turned red and he said angrily: "Kill this piece of shit to death. In such a short time, I lost a dozen brothers."
After saying that, he was ready to light the grenade in his hand.
Su Xiong found that the officers and soldiers on the opposite side really didn't fire any more arrows, so he immediately stopped Su Zhuang.
He asked the soldiers to stop throwing grenades and surround the group of officers and soldiers.
