Volume 1: Birth! Seven time travelers Chapter 81 Liu Dadao's Swiftness (V)
“Bang~Bang~Bang~Bang~Bang~Bang~”
From sparse to gradually dense, the Burmese army's muskets finally started firing as the weather cleared up.
The range of a matchlock gun is between 100 and 200 meters, and the range of a bow and arrow is also over 100 meters. However, the effective killing range of a bow and arrow is much shorter than that of a matchlock gun. So for a while, the soldiers of the Ming army were forced to squeeze their heads under the low wall.
"It's okay." An old soldier said to a nervous recruit opposite him with a relaxed expression: "The loading speed of this musket is very slow. Even if there is someone specifically responsible for loading, it will slow down after three or five rounds. By then... huh? Not good!" Having said this, the old soldier had no more words. He directly pulled the recruit and ran two or three steps behind the low wall, then quickly lay down on the ground with the recruit.
"Boom! Boom!" "Crack!" Several shells whizzed through the air. One of them fell behind the low wall, raising a large piece of dust, then jumped up and crushed the Ming army in front...
"The thieves actually have cannons?!"
"Oh my god! The Burmese bandits actually ? I was wondering how they could break into Mubang so quickly!"
At this time, the Ming army responsible for the defense was the Ruifeng Battalion of Sichuan Town. The battalion commander was named Cheng Caiyong. He was a middle-aged man in his forties. He ventured to stick his head out of the low wall, and then quickly pulled out the telescope that the officers on duty took turns to use to observe roughly. Cheng Caiyong quickly retracted his head. At the moment when his head retracted under the low wall, he clearly heard the whizzing sound of small bullets flying in the air above his head.
"Damn you Red Barbarians, your musket is really accurate! Huh? Marshal, why are you here? It's very dangerous here!"
"Humph, the thief has resorted to his last resort. How can I not come up? How many cannons are there down there? Are they red barbarians?"
"Yes, they are indeed the Red Barbarians! Fortunately, they don't have many cannons, only five."
"Hiss~~~ " Liu Jing bared his teeth and took a deep breath: "Fuck you, five cannons are not enough? We didn't even dare to bring a single cannon for such a bad road!" After cursing, he heard another round of artillery fire whistling towards him, and his brows furrowed even tighter: "This team of red barbarians is really powerful. It's only been two rounds, and the shells have already landed on the low wall. Cheng Caiyong!"
"Please give the order, Marshal!"
"First, select two hundred brothers with good sword skills and have them hide along the low wall. Second, have the remaining brothers retreat thirty feet. Third, have them take down all the flags on the low wall as they retreat! Fourth, notify the other camps and prepare for fighting within the camp!"
"Yes, sir!"
As the order was given, a large group of Ming troops retreated from the low wall like a tide and began to line up nervously more than a hundred meters behind the wall.
In the short time that Cheng Caiyong ran out to give the order, the Burmese artillery under the wall fired two more rounds. These two times, more shells hit the low wall directly. At least two sections of the low wall were broken open. The Ming soldiers under these two sections of the low wall were buried alive in an instant. After seeing the rapid decrease in the number of Ming army flags on the low wall, the Burmese army began to advance.
"Hu~Hu~" After delivering the order from the commander-in-chief, Cheng Caiyong did not hesitate at all and ran directly back to the low wall. But after taking a closer look, he said: "Commander-in-chief? Why don't you leave?"
"Hey, I've been like this every time I've fought a war. No more talking, the guns have stopped, and the thieves are coming up."
Sure enough, when Cheng Caiyong found a gap in the low wall and stretched the telescope over it, he saw overlapping human figures approaching rapidly.
"Hmm~~ Marshal, the Burmese bandits have spent a lot of money this time. Not only are the elite soldiers in full armor rushing in the front, but there are also hundreds of red barbarians."
"Hehe, this is the decisive battle! I'm tired of fighting for more than ten days, so I'm going to end it with this Burmese thief today."
Before the two of them finished their conversation, they suddenly felt a blackness above their heads, and a Burmese soldier had already jumped down from the low wall. When the second Burmese soldier jumped up from the low wall, Liu Jing shouted, and the crescent-shaped sword in his hand flashed with white light, and a thigh instantly left the owner's body, flying into the air with a large amount of blood.
"Brothers, stand up and kill the enemy!"
“Wow~!”
As the Ming army under the low wall suddenly launched an attack, the Ming army not far behind the low wall also shouted in unison and rushed towards the low wall under the leadership of their respective battalion officers.
"An Nao Xia Mi, Duabi~~!"
"Uh, we must cut the dense stack~~"
"Por Favor!~~"
"Brothers, kill these barbarians!"
For a moment, Burmese, Portuguese, and Chinese were heard alternately. The Han people, Tujia people, Burmese people, and Portuguese people, waving different weapons, collided fiercely with each other.
"Hahahaha~~The precious sword sent by His Highness is indeed not an ordinary item!" After slightly turning sideways to avoid a bamboo spear that was stabbing towards his chest, Liu Jing used the large shield in his left hand to block the parang that was chopping from the left. With a shake of his right hand, the crescent-shaped sword once again drew a white light, and the arm of the Burmese soldier in front of him was chopped off again.
Liu Dadao was indeed a skilled warrior and was able to lead the troops in battle. The key point was that he was wearing a bright general's armor. Naturally, he became the target of the Burmese army's attack. Fortunately, the Ming army and the Burmese army were completely entangled at this time, and the artillery on the Burmese army's front had stopped firing. Otherwise, he would have to enjoy the service of multiple artillery.
However, on a battlefield, although personal martial arts are very important, two fists are no match for four hands. After killing dozens of people one after another, Liu Jing also started to suffer injuries.
"Hey~!" After killing another white soldier with a high nose bridge and blond hair and blue eyes, Liu Jing was stabbed in the calf by a Burmese soldier less than 1.5 meters tall behind him with a parang. Although he turned around quickly and beheaded the soldier with a swift blow, he was still injured.
"Marshal! How are you?"
"You young girl, you were actually injured by such a small tree bark." Liu Jing and Cheng Caiyong quickly pressed their backs together, and finally had the time to curse. Although he cursed, his hands were not slow. The big shield in his left hand directly hit the head of a Burmese soldier, and the shield, which was already bloodstained, had another layer of white brain matter.
"Marshal, the battlefield is in chaos now. Soldiers from both sides are all mixed together. What should we do next?"
"It's a mess, okay! We'll just... Hey! Wow, last time we were far away, this time we got a closer look, it's really amazing!"
The one who could make Liu Jing still admire him despite being surrounded by enemies was of course Qin Liangyu who came from the rear. A white spear flew up and down, and blood splattered around the pear blossoms.
"Madam Ma is so heroic. I admire you so much! May I ask how many villains Madam Ma has killed?"
"How can we count in the chaos of the army? General Liu, the enemy's artillery is powerful. Now our army is entangled with the enemy, and the enemy's artillery can't be used. General Liu, please give orders to let our soldiers keep entangled with the enemy and kill them all the way to the enemy's artillery!"
"Alas, this woman has no charm at all. Ma Qiancheng is really pitiful." After muttering this, Liu Jing did not hesitate: "All soldiers, pass the message one by one! Follow these barbarians and chase them to their main formation!"
“Wow~~~!”
"Old Cheng, find a way to get to the back and bring my flag over!"
"Hahaha, got it!"
With Cheng Caiyong's departure, Liu Jing consciously approached Qin Liangyu. With the two strongest Ming army generals joining forces, the entire Ming army had an indestructible arrow. Under the guidance of this arrow, especially after Liu's general flag arrived at the front line soon after, the morale of the entire Ming army reached its highest point.
Gradually, the Burmese army was pushed down the low wall by the Ming army, and then slowly retreated down the gentle slope. At three o'clock in the afternoon of that day, a sudden shout was heard from the Burmese army camp, and the entire Burmese army completely collapsed!
"Don't let them go. Chase the remaining enemies closely and keep chasing them! The Ming Dynasty is mighty!"
“Wow~~~!”
"The Ming Dynasty is mighty!"
"Long live the Ming Dynasty!"
