Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 231 If you dare to hit us, we will find the ideological committee
Niu Dali was so murderous that he found a stone as a cover. On the stone, six rifles were placed side by side.

Come out to fight, considering the attrition problem, have a spare rifle.

Niu Dali and his guards... the marshal often refers to the guards as guards... They all have two rifles per person. In addition to the used ones, there is a spare one hanging on the horse's stomach.

Now, Niu Dali asked for the rifles of the two guards beside him, put them all in front of him, and asked the two guards to reload the bullets behind him.

The two guards looked aggrieved, and reluctantly filled their mouths, muttering:

"You can't do this when you are the commander of the army! You want to fight and kill the enemy and avenge the leader of the Zhao army, and we also want to avenge the leader of the Zhao army! You just want to enjoy yourself, and it's fine if you snatch our guns. Let us reload you here..."

"What nonsense!"

Niu Dali stared.

"The bounden duty of a soldier is to obey orders. I ordered you to load the bullets, how dare you have any objections? If it weren't for this light pack and no heavy machine guns, I wouldn't need you if you want to help load the bullets! How dare you Nonsense, be careful I beat you! Now that I am in a bad mood, I tell you clearly, don't mess with me!"

"You can't hit someone even if you're in a bad mood!"

"That's right! Try hitting us, let's go to the ideological committee!"

The two guards were not afraid of Niu Dali at all.

The combat command of the First Legion belongs to Niu Dali, but there is still a thought committee member.

In terms of title, the ideological committee members are on the same level as the army commander, and they are only responsible to Zhao Cheng.

The ideological committee is responsible for the ideological work of the soldiers and the style of the soldiers.

For example, officers cannot beat and scold subordinates, and veterans cannot bully recruits. These are all clearly written in the military regulations and disciplines.

Even Niu Dali, the head of the army, had to abide by it.

If he dared to beat and scold the soldiers, as long as he let the thought committee know, he would be in bad luck for Niu Dali.

Therefore, the two guards can be said to be confident.

"You dare to use the ideological committee to suppress me!"

Niu Dali pretended to be fearless, but he was obviously a little timid, and his eyes slipped around quietly.

Coincidentally, Zhao Gang, the ideological committee member, just came over, so frightened that Niu Dali shrank his neck quickly, and warned the two guards in a low voice:
"Don't talk nonsense. I'll give you a box of Huazi each later. Just say that the guns of the two of you were handed over to me voluntarily."

The two guards looked at each other and said, "A box of Huazi is not enough, we want Moutai, one bottle for each person."

"You guys are too dark! I can't even buy a bottle of Moutai with my salary for a month! Do you want two bottles?"

Niu Dali's face turned dark with anger.

"One bottle! I can only give you one bottle. If you don't do it, forget it. At worst, I will be scolded by that surnamed Zhao! He is a member of the ideological committee, and I am the commander of the army. He can't do anything to me!"

"One bottle is one bottle!"

The two guards laughed.

In fact, their goal is a bottle of wine.I want two bottles, just to ask for the price, and pay back the money when I land.

This is a bottle of Moutai!

"Old cow!"

Zhao Gang has a Chinese character face, his complexion is a bit dark, and he looks very righteous.

Just as he was about to say something, he lowered his head and saw several rifles lined up on the stone, and his already dark face suddenly became even darker.

"Old Niu, are you messing around again, playing tricks on your legion commander? Why did you tie their guns and get them out of your hands?"

"It's not my fault, it's what they insisted on giving me."

Niu Dali said immediately.

He confidently reached out and pointed at the two guards: "If you don't believe me, you can ask them! They said that I am good at shooting, so I am responsible for shooting and they are responsible for loading the bullets."

"Isn't this nonsense!"

Zhao Gang frowned, and looked at the two guards: "Is this the case? Say it boldly, don't be afraid, if Niu Dali threatens you, just tell me and I will punish him. With me, he can't How are you."

"No, Siwei! He didn't threaten us. The commander of the Niu Army is indeed better at marksmanship. We gave him all the guns for the sake of combat effectiveness." Shuanzi said.

"Did you see it? You Zhao Gang! You are so troublesome!" Niu Dali took the opportunity to yell at Zhao Gang.

"Hmph! I don't think they are voluntary. Turn around and I will investigate this matter again. Now I have another matter. The Cao flag is flying on the opposite side, and this is Datong. It is most likely that it is General Cao Bianjiao Xiao Cao." When you are fighting in a while, pay attention and try to capture Cao Bianjiao alive. Of course, the lives of the soldiers are the most important. If Cao Bianjiao threatens the lives of the soldiers, don't hesitate to shoot him directly. However, the commander said, Cao Bianjiao He's a man, and he's worth wooing." Zhao Gang said.

"I understand. I am much closer to the commander-in-chief than you are to the commander-in-chief. I follow him every day! I have heard him say many times that General Cao, big and small, are all men, especially this little General Cao. The God of War of the Han people is ranked number one in the world, but it’s just underestimated. I don’t know why the commander-in-chief is so optimistic about this little general Cao, but since the commander-in-chief said it, he must be right. Don’t worry, On the basis of ensuring the personal safety of our soldiers, I will try my best to keep the bullets away from this little General Cao."

Niu Dali agreed, turned his head to the side and ordered:

"Pass down the order, on the basis of ensuring the safety of our soldiers, try not to kill the leader, General Cao Bianjiao."

Rumbling--

The horses were galloping, the ground was trembling slightly, and the dust was steaming.

Seeing this team, it entered the range.

"Fire!"

Niu Dali gave an order and started shooting first.

Ping Pong Pong!

He fired extremely fast. After one gun was emptied, he threw it to the guard behind him and started shooting with another gun.

With his command, all soldiers fired at the same time.

On the opposite side, the charging Ming army was hit hard immediately, and a famous scholar Ding fell from his horse.

Bullets whizzed past their ears.

Those who were shot by war horses also fell down...

Cao Bianjiao's face trembled.

He watched with his own eyes a famous scholar Ding beside him was shot and fell off his horse.

These are all servants raised by their Cao family with a lot of money!

These servants all wear double layers of cotton armor, but as long as they are hit, there will be a blood hole on their body, and the cotton armor is completely useless.

He had known for a long time that the conscript army's firearms were sharp, but he never thought that they would be so sharp.

But now, they have no way out.

The battle has already begun, and once you retreat, it will be a big defeat.

The army was defeated like a mountain... This sentence, Cao Bianjiao has experienced hundreds of battles, and he knows it best.

"Kill the thief!"

Cao Bianjiao roared loudly, brandishing a big knife in his hand, hissing and roaring.

They still have a chance!

Although there are more and more servants falling off their horses, they are many and fast.

There are few conscript soldiers, and they have already dismounted.

As long as they rushed to the front, these crusades could only be slaughtered.

Cao Bianjiao is good at riding and shooting.

But shooting arrows on horseback is not very accurate. Moreover, the conscripts on the opposite side did not line up to fight, but each took cover. Some hid behind rocks, and some hid behind mounds of dirt...

This makes the bow and arrow completely useless.

Rush!
The cavalry charged over and slashed with swords!

Now, Cao Bianjiao has only one thought.

"The body of the general is a thousand pieces of gold, don't put yourself in danger!"

A close servant came over and took the reins of Cao Bianjiao's horse.

"Let go!" Cao Bianjiao yelled, and threw the back of the saber at the famous Jia Ding.

The famous family member Ding was holding it still, spat out a mouthful of blood, and almost fell off the horse, but his hand grabbed the rein and held it tightly.

"General! You are the body of a thousand gold, you can't take risks! If something happens to you, our Datong army will be finished! Datong will be finished!"

They delayed the speed here, a little slower, and the other servants rushed in front of Cao Bianjiao.

There were more than 200 of them in total. Amid the gunshots of Ping Ping Aping, dozens of them fell off their horses, while others still charged forward bravely.

This fighting will can be said to be quite strong.

Cao Bianjiao lifted up his heart.

close!

Closer!
Already twenty paces away.

For cavalry, this distance is a distance that can be crossed in the blink of an eye.

Steady!

Cao Bianjiao almost yelled.

At this moment, the soldiers of the conquest army who were hiding behind the stones and mounds suddenly leaned out half of their bodies at the same time, swung their arms, and smashed small black dots over their heads and faces.

It fell to the ground, still smoking black smoke.

The next moment, rumbling explosions sounded one after another.

Bursts of gunpowder smoke filled the air, people neighed and horses screamed, and the howls continued.

The servants who were charging were all blown upside down.

Whoosh whoosh!
Without much time to think, the second batch of black spots had already been smashed down again.

Boom boom boom!
The sound of explosions became one piece.

The servants who charged were completely blown away.

It was just time to breathe, about two hundred family members, more than half of them died, and only a few dozen people stood there sparsely.

They were all stunned and didn't even understand what was going on.

The war horse neighed rhythmically, startled by the explosion, completely unable to control it, turned around and ran away.

All of a sudden, the servants who had charged bravely just now completely collapsed.

"what!"

Cao Bianjiao let out a cry of pain.

Looking at the corpses all over the ground, his eyes were about to burst open.

These are all his servants!

These servants have followed him through life and death all these years, fighting bravely and not afraid of death.

Now, so many people die in the blink of an eye.

"It really hurts me to death!"

Cao Bianjiao yelled, with a look of regret on his face, brandishing a big knife, and prepared to fight the conscript army desperately.

"General Cao! We are defeated! Let's go! It's too late, we can't go!"

The servants close to him desperately held him back.

Cao Bianjiao also knew that he would die if he rushed forward.

Just now I saw too many servants died and lost my mind for a while, now I calmed down, turned my horse's head around immediately, and gave an order:
"withdraw!"

When I came here just now, there were more than 200 riders, majestic and overbearing.

Now when he went back, there were only a dozen or so riders with him, and the other thirty or forty riders had already run away.

Niu Dali didn't let people blow the charge horn, because he saw that the people of the Ninth Army were pressing up.

If they charge, they will hit the Ninth Army's firepower net.

"Arrange equipment, load bullets, prepare grenades, and prepare for the next battle!"

Niu Dali gave orders loudly.

He was not happy at all when Cao Bianjiao was defeated in World War I.

I just thought it was the most normal thing.

The dignified little General Cao, one of the most capable generals in the Chongzhen Dynasty, is no longer considered an opponent in the eyes of the conquering army.

The equipment gap is too big!
The difference in combat concepts is too great!
At that time, the Ninth Army, which was arrayed behind, put great pressure on Niu Dali.

The Ninth Army has also undergone intensive training and has rich combat experience.

The only good thing is that the commander has just returned to the strong land, and he hasn't had time to change the equipment for the Ninth Army.

Of Liu Fei's 200 men, only some of them were equipped with Minie rifles.

This was sent by Zhao Cheng in Huai'an City to send it back to Qiangdi before leaving the fortress.

Most of the 200 men were armed with muskets.

The Minie rifle is quite powerful and accurate.However, it is much worse than the Lee-Enfield rifle.

The Lee-Enfield rifle has a longer range, higher accuracy, and most importantly, it has a high ammunition load, with ten rounds in a magazine.

This is unmatched by the Minie rifle.The shooting speed increased several times immediately.

If all members of the Ninth Army were equipped with Lee-Enfield rifles, Niu Dali would not have the confidence to defeat the opponent.

Now, he has an absolute advantage in equipment.

"move forward!"

Niu Dali gave an order, and the soldiers started to move forward in groups of three, with their guns in hand, their waists bowed, and an offensive posture.

……

"This... What kind of artifact is this thunder?"

Fan Yongdou watched from behind, and was completely frightened.

After a burst of thunder, as strong as General Xiao Cao, he was defeated.

Moreover, it was a fiasco.

There were more than 200 people when we went, but when we came back, there were only a dozen or so riders around.

Fan Yongdou knew that General Xiao Cao's subordinates were capable.

But now, there are 40 people, and they collapsed directly...

Cao Bianjiao looked embarrassed.

"Brother Liu, what kind of weapon is this Thunderbolt? Why haven't you heard it from you, Brother Liu! Do you have it too?" Fan Yongdou asked in panic.

Liu Fei's expression turned ugly.

"This should be something called a grenade. When I was training soldiers in Qiangdi, I heard it from the instructor. I just didn't expect that they have equipped it now."

"Grenades? How could this Zhao be so unfair! They were all equipped with grenades, but Brother Liu and your Ninth Army didn't!" Fan Yongdou was indignant.

He was mostly regretful and shocked.

It's called a grenade, and it's so powerful.

If the Fan family can also make grenades... wouldn't they be able to run amok in the world!

"Although Zhao Cheng is narrow-minded, he treats his subordinates fairly in terms of equipment. Our Ninth Legion just hasn't had time to change. Zhao Cheng has just returned to the strong ground. When he arranges the strong ground, he will definitely give us Dress up.

However, he has placed so-called ideological committee members in each legion.If I don't leave now, then the Ninth Army will not be my own Ninth Army. If I want to leave, I won't be able to leave. There is nothing to regret about it. " Liu Fei said.
