Chapter 249 starts

If you look down from a high place, you can see that the performance of the bird gunners is worthy of their usual training. They lined up in a neat horizontal line, with the three rows in front and back always maintaining a reasonable distance. While moving forward, they were shot by the archers on the mountainside and front. Many archers were injured and fell down on the way. Their queue remained motionless. There was no serious chaos except for the fluctuations at the beginning. The queue was only slightly deformed and remained unchanged overall.

The two chief commanders ordered the captains of each flag to start calibrating their own queues and then ordered to stop the cross-border formation.

In front of the thief, nearly three hundred archers holding bird guns stopped.

The thieves were obviously a little surprised. They had never seen such a thing before. Even the leader of the team leader was the same. He himself was the firearmsman of the border army, but the firearmsman of the nine borders had never had such a tactic.

"Check the fuse!"

"Open the fire door!"

“Squat in the front row!”

"aim!"

"Breaking it!"

The captains of the flags were the first to fire. After the first gun, two hundred and fifty-seven bird guns fired almost at the same time.

The distance between them is eighty steps, which is the effective range. Everyone aims as much as possible. Except for squatting in the front row, there is a three-foot gap between the second row and the third row of ∮∠. They just need to avoid their companions' bird guns a little.

All the projectiles were sprayed out at the first time. Almost as the sound of guns sounded, blood mist floated from the thieves on the opposite side!

Almost all the bird guns were fired, and only a few were unexpectedly unfired. The bird guns made by Yusheng were made with at least twenty kilograms of iron. The fine iron was forged and then forged. More than twenty kilograms of iron were made into bird guns with a weight of more than five kilograms. The impurities were hit all over. The purity of the fine iron was very high. The hardness and brittleness of the gun barrels were far greater than that of the ordinary bird guns of the Ming army. The loading volume was greatly increased after testing. The weight of the projectile was slightly heavier than the standard bird guns of the Ming army. After the shot, the projectile accurately hit the human body. Pieces of blood burst out from the human body. Then large pieces of people were knocked down, like weeds cut by a sickle.

Some projectiles also hit the ground, stirring up large areas of smoke and dust.

The thief broke through after the first firing like this.

The big and small leaders ran away first, completely ignoring the cavalry who wanted to get close to them, and turned around and left.

Then ordinary thieves followed behind, and the messy weapons in their hands were thrown all over the ground, and no one thought about fighting any more.

Then everyone saw that the bandits' formation was in chaos, and the troupes were scattered first, and the gongs and drums were thrown all over the ground. The bandits ran to the official road that they began to come. The narrow official road was quickly filled with people. Everyone squeezed together, and the shoes they had stepped on were quickly thrown together. There were thrown away wooden poles, spears, targets and other weapons everywhere. Some people couldn't wait to go to the official road, so they simply climbed up the mountain, and the mountain was soon filled with bandits like ant colonies.

When Zhang Han saw the cavalry set out from both wings and chasing the fleeing bandits, he nodded. Zhu Dayong seemed to be a very experienced commander, at least very qualified from a tactical level.

He ordered the mixed formation of two bureaus to drive away the scattered thieves and cavalry so that they could not reorganize the team.

Then Zhang Han ordered the bird gunners to avoid the warriors, and the war soldiers and spearmen quickly walked forward to chase the defeated soldiers.

Liang Xing rode a yellow horse and patrolled the battlefield for a while and ordered: "Each bureau picks some new recruits who have never been on the battlefield and clean up the battlefield along the way."

More than a hundred people were picked out and marched along the battlefield. There were many thieves killed and injured along the way. Most of the bodies were terrifyingly dead, while those who had not died were seriously injured and struggling to death on the ground.

Zhang Chunniu was picked out. In fact, he had performed several battle missions and had quite some experience in wars. However, his captain Sun Yao thought that his personality was "too soft", but in fact he felt that he was too slippery, so it was his turn to do this glorious task.

The brigade continued to move forward in a mighty manner, Zhang Chunniu and his companions continued to move forward, and the spearmen held their weapons, and the bird gunmen put down the bird guns in their hands and moved forward with the short swords they issued.

A thief in his thirties appeared in front of Zhang Chunniu. The man was hit in the abdomen by a lead bullet, and his intestines were flowing all over the ground. The smell of blood hit the nose. A captain of the flag who was pressing the formation pointed at Zhang Chunniu and said, "You come and cut this person's head."

"ah?"

Zhang Chunniu was startled. The scene in front of him had already made him feel disgusted and he felt uncomfortable. He had fought several times on the grassland, and killed some horse thieves from afar and retreated. They did not collect the corpse. The corpse in front of him looked ferocious. He felt very uncomfortable when he got close to him. He went up to cut his head, but he hesitated and did not take action immediately.

"Hurry up!" Captain Qi came over and kicked Zhang Chunniu, cursing: "Who is your Captain Qi? How could he bring you a useless guy like you?"

A short spearman next to him held his spear and stabbed a dying thief. He hit the other party's throat. Blood squirted up to the tall man, splashing the little man's face. The little man wiped his face and continued to move forward.

"Look at them..."

The captain of the flag was cursing, and Zhang Chunniu made up his mind and knelt down to the seriously injured thief.

"I'm not a bad person. Many of my village people have been killed. I will be killed even if I don't join the group..." The injured man knew what was going to happen, so he begged for forgiveness.

"Brother," Zhang Chunniu felt very uncomfortable, and felt that something in his heart had been lost forever. He pressed the man's throat with the sharp blade of his short knife and whispered: "I am a soldier and eat food. I usually eat rice, noodles, and meat, and I also get a lot of salary. At this time, I must listen to Shangguan's words. Besides, my flag captain is very nice to me, and I can't let others cut off his face..."

He whispered in his mouth, then slowly pressed down the blade of the short knife, cut the skin, cut the man's throat, and then cut it to the bone. Zhang Chunniu swirled the knife and pressed it down, and cut his head down very neatly.

"Isn't this a very expert? Your flag captain is not bad at teaching." The flag captain who just kicked Zhang Chunniu urged everyone to continue moving forward, stabbing the injured thieves to death, while praising Zhang Chunniu.

He saw Zhang Chunniu's face turned pale and said unconsciously: "Don't think you are cruel. Whether these guys take the initiative to follow the thief or not, they are fighting against us on the battlefield. If we lose, do you think they can let us go? Can they let those innocent people go... Is this the case?"

"Yes, that's the reason!"

Everyone agreed, and their hands were a little more neat.

"We are soldiers. Eating food is just doing this. Don't think about killing people when doing this. We are on orders to act, treat ourselves as a bird gun...that's all!"

At this time, even Zhang Chunniu was much better. The captain of the flag finally patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Actually, you think you helped him too. In the blink of an eye, he didn't feel pain or pain. His stomach and intestines were all shot out. Can he still live? It's actually a good thing to die!"

Zhang Chunniu stopped talking and looked forward.

The archers of the brigade maintained a basic queue and were speeding up to chase the escaped enemy. The bird gunners kept passing away, knocking the backward bandits to the ground. The cavalry rushed from both wings to the front and chased the escaped enemies with their spears and long swords. Some of the bandits had knelt down and asked for their lives. More people climbed up the mountain and ran all over the mountains.

"Sir," Wang Changfu returned to Zhang Han and asked, "Why didn't he use cavalry to chase the thieves' cavalry just now? I think they have told them to run away a lot. The cavalry are all old people, and those are the essence of the thieves' army."

Zhang Han did not comment and said, "I have my own considerations about this matter. If you chase it to the mountains, don't chase it anymore. Our army is in a complete array. If a chaotic group is in chaos, it will increase casualties."

Wang Changfu said: "It turns out that sir is worried about casualties. I just watched the cavalry battle. Our cavalry really needs to be tempered. Since this is the case, I will still go to the front of the enemy to command."

Zhang Han watched Wang Changfu continue to command, watching his subordinates pursue the escaped enemy. Since he assassinated the head of Lahu in the downtown city, he has seen more life and death and war. From the way to the grassland to Liaodong, he even knew what the cruelty in the world is... Compared with the blood and fire in Liaodong, and the cruelty of the natural environment brought by the snow all over the sky, all of this in front of him is just a small scene, which can even be said to be unremarkable. But Zhang Han was still very happy. This was his first time with a team.

Weaving a complete army to fight... It is called a archer, but in fact, Zhang Han and his subordinates knew in their hearts that this is an absolute army, Zhang Han's private army, but the performance of this private army is far greater than that of the regular army of the Ming army, and it may be far from that of the Jurchens in Liaodong. But at least with the performance of the archers in front of them, the chances of winning against the regular army of the Ming Dynasty are relatively high... With such an army in hand, Zhang Han feels that he has a lot of confidence.

Mainly, Zhang Han has mastered the model of training a strong army and can continue to produce such an army in a stream, from one thousand to three thousand, and then five thousand.

If he had an army of ten thousand people, not to mention Datong Town, Zhang Han, the Ming army of Xuanfu Town, would not be afraid.

Similarly, through the battle in front of him, Zhang Han felt many problems and areas that could be improved, and the experience on these battlefields was also rare.

If Chang Wei’s “raising bandits” is just a strategy, Zhang Han also saw more possibilities.

...

"One of our army was killed, seventeen seriously injured, and fifty-nine minor injuries."

Wang Changfu closed the notebook and put the hard pen into his pocket on his left chest. At the same time, he scratched his head, looking relieved.

Zhang Han said: "Fortunately you all deserve Shu Qiguan, otherwise Wang Changfu wouldn't you be embarrassed to die."

Wang Changfu said: "I don't have to worry about blood when fighting. We are really afraid of doing such a writing."

Liang Xing said on the side: "There are 391 prisoners, and the number is not large. The main reason is that they climb the mountain. The adults are not allowed to climb the mountain to chase them. Later, those who go up the mountain did not chase them. These prisoners were all caught on the flat ground. Some were chased by war soldiers and miners on Duyuling. The dozens of archers were all old men among the thieves. The strength of the thieves would be weakened a lot by arresting them."
