Chapter 216 Quick Battle(1/2)
Jining Prefecture, a private house in the suburbs.
"Report to the Assistant Lord, two thousand soldiers and horses of Jinan Guard have arrived in Qufu!"
Zhu Ji suddenly became nervous, took out the map and asked, "Where are you setting up camp?"
"Sir Hui, I didn't set up camp, I was temporarily resting outside the county town."
Zhu Ji asked again: "How far is it from us?"
"About fifty miles."
Zhu Ji quickly came to Li Zhen and said, "Duke Rui, Jinan Guard has arrived in Qufu, but has not set up camp. This is a strange thing!"
Li Zhen was wandering outside the yard, looking around, and said, "Since there is no camping, it means that he wants to fight quickly, so it's time to come tonight."
Of course, Zhu Ji knew that these people were found by the Kong family to target him, but unexpectedly, they were too lazy to even cover up and killed them directly.
"Then...how do we deal with it?"
Li Zhen looked at him and said, "This is still a question, of course it's fucking! The little Jinan Guard dares to rebel? I won't fight them tonight, so they'll be clean!"
Zhu Ji said with lingering fear: "But there are two thousand people on the other side, and we only have less than six hundred."
Li Zhen waved his hand and said, "This is not something you should worry about!"
Zhu Ji said again: "The terrain here is open and the number of people on the other side is the dominant. If the formation is unfolded, it will be very unfavorable to us. Will you find a favorable terrain to fight it?"
Li Zhen smiled and said, "The wider the better, the better, it's here!"
In the middle of the night, a noisy sound came from afar, and at the same time, a sharp whistle cut through the night sky.
Five hundred soldiers from the 3,000 battalions and hundreds of Jinyiwei were already on guard.
Zhu Ji stood in front of the formation and tried hard to observe the situation opposite.
At the front was a team of cavalry, and then all were infantry, layered, but there was not much movement, and it seemed that they were also observing their side.
After a brief confrontation, a side-siding general who rode a horse came to the front of the formation and shouted, "You are not surrendering you yet!"
Zhu Ji replied, "I am Zhu Ji, the commander of the Jinyiwei. I am here to perform official duties under the order. Who are you and why are you here to bring troops here?"
Seeing Zhu Ji clearly identified his identity, the other party laughed disapprovingly and said, "You dare to pretend to be the Jinyiwei, and you will be more guilty!"
Zhu Ji said in a deep voice: "I will say it again. The Jinyiwei is here to perform official duties. No matter which ward you are, leave immediately. Otherwise, you will be punished as a rebellious person and will be killed without any consideration!"
At this moment, the opponent obviously had lost patience and directly blew the horn of the attack.
"My commander, the bandits do not listen to the advice, they seem to be ready to resist to the end."
Cai Jinkui rode on a tall horse, wearing armor and no expression on his face.
The Jinyiwei actually wanted to kill the Kong family, and he was so impatient!
If you hear the three words Jinyiwei elsewhere, you will still have a certain intimidation. However, this is Qufu, which is the territory of Yan Shenggong.
In Qufu, people can scold the emperor, but no one dares to scold the Kong family.
"Qin You, you will take the lead this time. If you win, you will be the first to win."
This person named Qin You is now just a guerrilla general. When he heard Cai Jinkui order him to be a vanguard, a glimmer suddenly flashed in his eyes.
In his opinion, there are only a few hundred Jinyiwei, with his own numbers and almost no risks.
But after killing, the real problem to face is how to deal with the emperor?
After all, it is the Jinyiwei, the emperor personally, and beating a dog depends on the owner!
However, these are all things that Yan Shenggong and the commander need to consider, just rush to the scene.
Thinking of the upcoming bright future, a hint of cruelty flashed in Qin You's eyes and said, "Please rest assured that no one will survive tonight."
After saying that, he turned over to the horse, holding a long sword in his hand, looking fierce.
Then he pulled his horse and shouted, "It's just ahead.
It was a group of bandits who followed me. After breaking the formation, everyone rewarded ten taels of silver. They carried a lot of jewelry and after they were killed, they all distributed them to you."
So, with a command, Qin You was the first to ride his horse and began to charge.
Seeing this, the soldiers all cheered up. If they were asked to fight against the Mongols or fight against the Japanese pirates, they might be a bit timid, but when facing the bandits, they were just a group of refugees who couldn't eat enough, and it was not as easy as cutting melons and vegetables.
Hundreds of war horses started to activate, first jogging, while cavalrymen were rising and falling on the horses. Most of them were holding swords and guns, and at this time they immediately formed an arrow formation.
Then, the war horses became faster and faster.
Then, there was a speed of lightning!
The power of these hundreds of iron cavalry at this moment is already unstoppable.
In the opposite team, Li Zhen shouted: "Prepare!"
Everyone was nervous, holding muskets, shoulder to shoulder.
If it were ordinary people, they would have been panicked when they watched the vast cavalry rushing towards them in the distance.
The power brought by this cavalry in the wilderness is, at least in this era, enough to destroy the world.
However, this time, they were facing the well-equipped San Thousand Battalions.
When the northern expedition of Mongolia, the Japanese were levelled along the coast, and wherever the three thousand camps went, they were like a destruction.
These mere two thousand men are really unattracted by their magic.
"The gun is loaded!"
As the order sounded, everyone was acting in an orderly manner.
The biggest advantage of the flintlock rifle is not only the rate of fire and the convenience of charging.
More importantly, soldiers can be placed side by side and formed a relatively tight queue. If it is a traditional musket, there must be a certain gap to prevent it from being injured by gunpowder next door.
The flintlock rifle is used to kill flint, which is more secure, which also ensures that everyone is sporting a formation side by side.
This small progress is actually a huge advantage for combat formation.
Because traditional muskets want to maximize their effect, they must ensure that they have the lethality of intensive shooting. If everyone stands too loose and the distance between them is too large, it is actually difficult to increase the lethality in an area.
The flintlock rifle can solve these problems well, which has improved the combat effectiveness of the troops by more than one level.
The opponent's cavalry was already coming, and Qin You was even more energetic at this time, watching the people holding muskets on the other side, waiting for the battle.
"Kill with me! These people are vulnerable at all. Those who enter the formation first will be rewarded with great rewards!"
The word "reward" is the most motivating morale. The soldiers cheered up and launched the final sprint.
But the musketeers in front of them did not move at all.
They lined up in two rows, and at this time, the first row had raised the muskets and the muzzle was facing forward.
Everyone was motionless.
The vanguard of Jinan Guards had arrived within thirty steps, and this distance was very close.
The faces of the enemy can be seen almost.
The hostile sides looked at each other and showed contempt.
Then, the sharp whistle finally rang.
"put!"
As the command sounded, the first row of members seemed to subconsciously pull the trigger without hesitation.
The next moment, the flint smashed into the barrel of the gun, quickly splashing out Mars, igniting the gunpowder in the barrel.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The smoke filled the guns and the muskets fired in volleys.
Countless projectiles whizzed out of the gun chamber.
After the intensive shooting, the worst one was the cavalry in the front row.
Someone shot the body and fell down immediately.
Some war horses were shot and were immediately covered in blood. Then, the war horses went crazy, overturned the horse's people and began to run wildly.
This cavalry was originally carrying an unparalleled power, but at this moment, the formation began to appear
chaos.
Especially the front team's horses kept falling down, people were on their backs and horses were overturned, and the cavalry in the back team had no time to dodge, and they collided with the front team. The high-speed moving war horses were enough to make the horse's cavalry directly break the bones.
So, many screams were made on the battlefield.
The first row of players finished shooting and retreated quickly.
Immediately afterwards, the team members in the second row stepped forward and arrived at the position in the first row.
"put!"
