Datong General Ma Baozhong's war horse was also hit by a bullet, and he himself was thrown far away, rolling forward while crawling, his helmet was thrown away unknown where, his hair was disheveled, and his face was covered with dust.
Seeing this, several soldiers hurriedly got off their horses and helped him up. Ma Baozhong suddenly felt that his face was completely lost. The anger in his heart had reached the extreme, but he did not lose his reason.
He did not dare to go forward from the front of Chicheng Camp, so he led dozens of servants around him to go around to the left. After walking for more than ten steps, he saw a group of Xuanfu soldiers with bright armor, rushing over to attack them. They surrounded him.
"Put down your swords and guns...put down your weapons..."
"Hurry...if you don't put down your weapons...shoot to death..."
Facing the roars of the Xuanfu army and the forest-like spears behind their shields, a servant suddenly felt chilled and involuntarily dropped the steel knife in his hand, making a "ding-dong" sound.
Seeing someone so cowardly, Ma Baozhong became furious and shouted: "I am a Datong general, how dare you attack me?"
Seeing how arrogant and arrogant he was, the surrounding servants couldn't help but become more courageous. They gathered in front of and behind Ma Baozhong, each holding their weapons in front of their chests and making loud noises.
"I am Liu Changliang, Commander-in-Chief of Chicheng Battalion Left Section of Xuanfu Town. I am following the military orders of my guerrilla general Zhang Guodong to capture Datong's defeated army."
Liu Changliang responded loudly and righteously, but unexpectedly he was laughed at by the other party.
"Hahaha……"
Ma Baozhong laughed loudly and unscrupulously, and then shouted angrily: "I am Datong General, how dare you, a junior general, dare to attack me?"
He separated from the crowd, strode forward, and shouted loudly: "Do you have the military orders from the governor's camp? How dare you ask me about it!"
"ah……"
Faced with Ma Baozhong's arrogance, Liu Changliang would not agree with him. He raised his foot and kicked the general Ma Baozhong hard on the waist. He just heard him scream and fell to the ground.
"Take it."
Liu Changliang shouted in a deep voice, showing an inviolable majesty.
Four soldiers from the Chicheng Battalion immediately ran out from the left and right. Without any further explanation, they tied Ma Baozhong's hands behind his back and stood him up. His dozens of servants had not yet reacted, and were stunned at what they were doing.
Seeing this, Ma Baozhong couldn't help but became anxious and cursed: "You little beast, how dare you tie me up."
He wanted to turn back but was unable to do so because he was held up by the Chicheng Battalion soldiers. He even shouted loudly: "Are you stupid? Why don't you kill all these rebels and snatch me out!"
A servant seemed to wake up suddenly when he heard this. He swung a big ax in his hand and shouted: "Brothers, General Ma has treated us well. We will fight hard to get the general back..."
Before the servant could say "come", there was a crisp sound of "Bang!", and the whole person flew backwards and fell, and a blood arrow spattered from his chest.
The firecracker held by Liu Changliang in his right hand was still emitting light smoke. He blew a fierce breath and said loudly to everyone: "Those who dare to resist will end up like this."
"kill!"
As Liu Changliang finished speaking, the gun and shield soldiers from the surrounding Chicheng Battalion started shouting in unison.
The sound of "Ding Ding Ding" sounded a series of. I saw that dozens of Ding Ding in Ma Bao was shocked by the murderous murderous, and they threw the weapons in their hands on the ground beside him.
They lowered their heads, obeyed the orders of the Xuanfu Army's Chicheng Camp officers, and walked to the back of the military formation very obediently. No one dared to think of resistance.
Only Datong General Ma Baozhong was still dissatisfied. He kept clamoring to take him to see Zhang Cheng, the commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu, and also claimed that he would go to Jiliao Governor Hong Chengchou to complain.
Liu Changliang was upset after hearing this, so he ordered his soldiers to block his mouth with rags and strangle him tightly with cloth strips, so that he would never utter a sound again.
But a dignified member of the army, General Datong, was actually captured by Mr. Xiao Qian from Xuanfu Town, and he threatened to question him for his crime. How could Ma Baozhong bear this tone?
Even though his mouth was gagged and he could no longer curse, his body could not help but twist in various strange postures to show his dissatisfaction and resistance.
to this end
, Ma Baozhong also suffered a lot. How could the soldiers of the Chicheng camp tolerate the disrespect to their own general and grandfather, with fists, military boots, knife handles, and whips all attacking him shamelessly?
…………
At this time, the Datong Military Standard Battalion had completely replaced the right-wing battalion. They withstood the first wave of impact from the Mongolian Zhenghuang Banner with a strict military formation. Although there were some casualties, they were within a tolerable range.
The right wing battalion was also reorganizing behind Wang Zhengbiao's battalion at this moment. They successfully withstood two rounds of charges from the Zhenghuang Banner Beibei cavalry and retreated in an orderly manner. The losses in the battalion were not great and they were still capable of fighting.
At the same time, the Zhenbiao Battalion of Xuanfu veteran Guo Yingxian, located on the outermost side, also moved at this time, and they slowly expanded to the right.
The infantry in the camp formed a formation on the inside, while nearly two thousand Xuanfu cavalry spread out towards the right front, with the potential to attack the flanks of the Mongolian Zhenghuang Banner.
Constrained by Guo Yingxian's command, Adai did not dare to launch an all-out attack on Wang Zheng's Datong Military Standard Battalion. After all, he still had the main force left to protect his flanks.
The Datong Army Ranger Camp, with less than 2,000 soldiers, also moved forward at this time. After finding an empty space between Wang Zheng and Guo Yingxian's armies, they reorganized about a hundred steps away as backup.
But the left wing was completely different from this side. The Tiger Guard Battalion, led by Lin Fangping, rushed out on horseback and went directly to the left wing *** soldiers. When they passed by the cavalry battalion, they were There was a whistle.
Lin Fangping's troops did not slow down, but instead urged their horses to speed up, continuing to rush up to where Morigen's Mengqi troops were in the wilderness to the west.
Almost at the same time, Wang Tieren led the light cavalry and rushed back to the formation. They merged with the 500 cavalry troops left behind and reorganized their formation.
The carriage soldiers of the cavalry camp are actually selected from each battalion according to the cavalry standards. They are not without the strength to fight. If they were in other military formations, I am afraid they would most likely be used as the main force of an army.
However, the military regulations in the Xuanfu army are indeed strict. Since they serve as supply soldiers, they are not allowed to go into battle easily. Unless there is a clear military order, they will be severely punished.
Just like before, the cavalry battalion went into battle many times, and the lost soldiers in the camp were able to be replenished in time because of the existence of these supply troops.
Now, these remaining 400 or so cavalry troops will also have their first real opportunity to fight in their lives.
Just like this time, every time the cavalry battalion goes on an expedition, it will bring the soldiers from the supply camp with it. However, even under the city of Kaifeng, the soldiers only participated in camp defense affairs and did not have the opportunity to go into battle.
Precisely because the opportunity was rare, the carriage soldiers cherished it even more. They had prepared well early. When they saw the light cavalry running back from a distance, they immediately rode forward.
After they gave way to the returning light cavalry, they immediately rode into formation. Each held a rein in one hand and a Yunzhou short-handed musket in the other hand. They formed two horizontal rows, with each row carrying about 200 horses. soldiers.
The light cavalry, led by Wang Tieren, were quickly reorganizing behind their formation.
Looking at the Mongolian troops under Tulai's command with the yellow banner approaching in the distance, Zheng Fang, the commander of the transport camp, was not afraid at all. He shouted loudly: "Everyone calm down, no one is allowed to fire the gun first."
Zheng Fang then shouted: "Brothers, this is the first time that our supply camp has gone into battle. Please hold on tight. No one can be intimidated, let alone panic. Without my order, if anyone fires the gun first, we will fuck him up." It’s unloaded.”
He still seemed a little worried, so he quickly continued to encourage: "We all leveled our guns and aimed forward, waiting for my order to shoot the gunshots together.
Aren’t they all clamoring to be cavalry?
Today is the opportunity for everyone. If we fight well today, we will be fucking cavalry, but if we fight badly, we will never have a chance again.
Do you understand everything? "
"Here!"
Nearly four hundred cavalry soldiers responded to Qian Zheng Fang's question with a beautiful chorus.
Zheng Fang looked at the Beilu cavalry who were getting closer and closer, and then continued to shout: "Hold on, we've all seen the Japanese throwing spears and throwing axes. If it costs our lives, don't worry about it. Hold on!" Just listen to our orders."
"Here!"
All the carriage soldiers shouted together again.
"Good brother, get ready, and let the shameless *** know that our Xuanfu army is not easy to bully. Kill, kill ***."
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The Xuanfu Army completely inherited the training methods of the Qi Army. Even the slogans used by the army were in the unified "Three Companies" format, such as "kill kill kill", "tiger tiger tiger", "force force force", "Chong rush rush" and so on.
After the soldiers finished shouting "kill" three times, the Beibei cavalry with yellow flags on the opposite side had already rushed a hundred paces away. They didn't seem to have any intention of stopping. Instead, they urged their horses to speed up. They actually wanted to rush through the Xuanfu cavalry in one go. The military formation of the camp.
Mr. Qian Zheng Fang's eyes flashed a little. He stared intently at the rushing Beilu cavalry, calculating the distance between the two sides in his heart.
To say that he is not panicked is completely nonsense. Although Zheng Fang is also a veteran of the Xuanfu who worked with the king in the past, it is his first time to lead a team to fight as a general of thousands of troops.
You teach him how not to panic. What Zheng Fang is most worried about is not his own safety, but that this opportunity to fight in the army camp is rare, so he can't screw it up!
Previously, in addition to being responsible for miscellaneous chores in the camp, the officers and soldiers of the carriage barracks were also responsible for the military affairs of camp security when the army went to war. They had not fought independently and lacked practical experience in this area.
That's why Zheng Fang encouraged the soldiers so earnestly, and repeatedly told them to pay attention to military regulations, stabilize their mentality, and obey orders.
Seeing the Beilu cavalry on the opposite side entering a distance of eighty steps, the huge Japanese cavalry formation brought an increasingly strong sense of oppression to his own side, and Zheng Fang's heart rose to his throat.
He couldn't help but squint at the carriage formation, and saw that the hands of some knights holding firecrackers were trembling, and he felt nervous in his heart.
"It's all good. ***'s bows, arrows, throwing spears, and throwing axes can't kill us, but our handguns can kill ***."
Zheng Fang continued to shout loudly: "Calm down, your handgun keeps shaking, there's nothing to be afraid of. Hold your blunderbuss flat, wait for my order, shoot the blunderbuss, and then follow behind us and shoot at his mother's shame." ***!」
"Here."
After Zheng Fang's words, the soldiers' hearts calmed down again, but if you listen carefully, you will find that their breathing is still not steady and seems a bit rapid.
This should be a normal reaction for those who are going into battle for the first time. You can't blame these soldiers. After all, everyone is afraid of death, and the momentum of the Japanese soldiers riding thousands of horses is indeed too oppressive.
"Hand gun, fight!"
Zheng Fang's roar became a life-threatening call for the Mongolian Xianghuang Banner Northern Cavalry. The cavalry soldiers who had already made all preparations immediately fired a hundred muskets.
A "bang bang" explosion of fire cannons was heard. Although it was not as uniform as the volley fired by the Akagi camp's gun soldiers, it was almost done at the same time.
Dense volleys of bullets shot out in the thick white smoke, like life-threatening ghosts, towards the Mongolian cavalry with yellow flags thirty steps away.
In an instant, the Mongolian troops who were at the forefront fell off their horses one after another. Their screams and wails resounded throughout the land, and the remaining Mongolian troops also galloped to both sides and did not go straight to Xuan Mansion. Military cavalry camp.
"Kill! Kill***!"
Zheng Fang had withdrawn his blunderbuss and drew his sword in his hand. He shouted loudly and rushed straight to the Mongolian Yellow Flag Army. Four hundred troops followed closely behind him and rushed forward. No one was afraid to move forward.
They were like a sharp arrow, and General Qian Zheng Fang was the arrowhead of this sharp arrow, rushing straight into the Mongolian Huangqi Cavalry Formation and fighting with the Beibei ***.
Behind the carriage soldiers, the light cavalry who had already formed a team were also rushing towards them. They had finished shooting their two handguns. At this moment, everyone was holding knives and spears, and they were rushing towards the north like crazy. go.
…………
The left military formation of the Xuanfu Military Chariot Battalion was directly attacked by Manchurian troops with white flags due to the rout of the Datong Army's left-wing battalion.
Although the chariot can prevent the cavalry from charging into the formation, it is only temporary;
It was up to the soldiers behind the chariots to resist bravely, but the attack with white flags came too suddenly.
And half of the sergeants in the chariot battalion have to control the chariots and man the artillery. As a defensive force, there are only 600 capable soldiers.
Although they resisted bravely, shooting from a distance and slashing with swords at close range, there were too many Japanese soldiers charging at them and they were completely unable to stop them. After suffering more than a hundred casualties, they had no choice but to abandon the tank defense line and retreat backwards. .
Fortunately, they dug a shallow trench with a low wall thirty steps behind the chariot as a second line of defense. This way they could withstand the enemy's charge and prevent the entire battalion from being completely defeated.
But in this single charge, nearly thirty tanks were either knocked over or destroyed by hammers and axes by the Japanese cavalry with white flags, causing great losses.
Yu Jin was so anxious that his eyes were burning, but it was of no avail. He could only use his hoarse voice to continue to direct the regular soldiers and the strange soldiers in the camp to cooperate with each other in fighting.
Just when he was extremely anxious, there was a burst of firecrackers in the dust on the right, followed by white smoke from the tent, rising suddenly.
It turned out that Mr. Qian Gou Changsheng, the commander on the right side of the chariot, discovered that the situation on the left side was critical, and organized his troops to form a formation to come to the rescue. Fortunately, their rescue was timely, and they were able to successfully block the Xiangbai Banners and repulse them.
