Chapter 419: Stand Firm
At this moment, a small squad leader in the team immediately stood up, punched and kicked those wavering soldiers, and after a loud scolding, the soldiers were honest.
The weapons used by these soldiers of the Baiteng clan are still very rudimentary, and there are all kinds of swords and spears, so their main way of fighting is still melee combat.
Wang Xiaoming also saw this, so he decided to fight again when the other party got closer.
The numerical advantage of tens of thousands of soldiers is too great, and if they can't solve it all at once, they will be scared, and it will be very troublesome to try to solve it in a centralized manner in the future.
The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and soon they were at a distance of a hundred meters, and they were already within the range of the musketeers.
Wang Xiaoming immediately gave the order for the musketeers to launch a pursuit.
The sudden attack of the musketeers also startled the attacking Baiteng soldiers, but these Baiteng soldiers were extremely fierce and continued to rush forward regardless of casualties.
There were only 200 musketeers, and they couldn't stop the attack of the large number of Hundred Tengs.
Although the attack of the musketeers brought great casualties to the attacking soldiers of the Baiteng tribe, the Baiteng soldiers still quickly approached the position, and if it continued like this, the position was probably undefensible.
At this moment, the second order to attack was given, and the grenadiers began to shoot.
At this time, the grenadiers used a relatively rudimentary lead, and instead of making a pull lead, they had to use a flame to ignite it, calculate the time, and then throw it.
That kind of wire-drawn grenade is already being made, and it is estimated that the next batch of grenades will be able to use the wire-drawn type.
A hundred grenades fell into the attacking group of Baiteng soldiers, and it was immediately as if a hundred cannonballs exploded in the crowd, causing huge casualties, and the ferocity of the Baiteng soldiers' attack was immediately suppressed.
However, the number of soldiers of the Baiteng clan was too much, and it was only after one meal. The soldiers of the Baiteng clan in the back rushed over,
The musketeers and bombardiers continued to attack, but the soldiers of the Motocan tribe were also extremely fierce, and continued to rush forward in the face of a hail of bullets.
Although the casualties of the Baiteng clan were very huge, who let them have too many people, so they gradually approached the position.
At this time, they approached the barbed wire, and the small barbed wire was not taken into their eyes at all, and they slapped the barbed wire with their weapons, and some people tried to climb over the barbed wire.
It's just a pity. Whether it is the Baiteng soldiers who go to slap the barbed wire, or the Baiteng soldiers who want to climb over the barbed wire, there is no good end.
The barbed wire, though rudimentary, is extremely tough, and can not be destroyed in a short time by using the weapons in their hands, and those who want to climb over the barbed wire are even more unlucky, and the barbed wire has barbs when they climb over the barbed wire. They will be caught in the flesh by barbed wire, making it impossible for them to escape.
And once they are hooked by barbed wire, they are greeted by a terrible and deadly bullet.
These seemingly inconspicuous barbed wire fences play a huge role here. So that these soldiers of the Baiteng clan couldn't rush at all.
They were killed by the bullets of the muskets at the slightest impediment of barbed wire.
However, barbed wire is not omnipotent, and under the impact of these soldiers, the barbed wire was also knocked to the ground by them. Then too many corpses were pushed on the barbed wire, and the soldiers behind stepped on the corpses and finally passed the barricade barricade.
It's just a pity. There is not just one, but five such barbed wires.
Behind the five barbed wire fences was a trench two meters deep and two meters wide.
If the warriors of the Baiteng clan want to rush through this defense line, I am afraid they will have to make great sacrifices.
In fact, just by the time the first barbed wire was broken, the soldiers of the Baiteng tribe had already killed and wounded more than 2,000 people.
On Wang Xiaoming's side, there were zero casualties.
This is the absolute superiority of the firearms unit over the cold weapons unit.
It's just a pity that Wang Xiaoming's troops are too numerous and the weapons are too few, so the situation is becoming more and more dangerous.
After the first barbed wire was breached, although there were still four barbed wire defenses, the soldiers of the Baiteng tribe had already seen the hope of victory, so they continued to advance, and soon after, after paying huge casualties, the second, third, fourth, and last barbed wire were also breached by them one by one.
It's just that in order to break through these barbed wires, the soldiers of the Baiteng clan also paid a huge price, and the casualties were extremely huge.
But by this time, the musket unit in Wang Xiaoming's hands was becoming more and more inadequate, because the problem of musket heating began to appear, several muskets were blown up, and the rest of the muskets had to be cooled down and used at the same time.
Because of this, the musket's attack efficiency began to decline, and in this way, it only fueled the desire for victory among the Mototens.
In the face of the Baiteng warriors who continued to rush forward without fear of death, Wang Xiaoming ordered the rockets to start attacking.
The attack of hundreds of rockets caused great damage, as if a hundred artillery pieces were attacking at the same time, and in an instant, they caused huge damage to the incoming warriors of the Hundred Teng Clan.
This kind of damage is not only physical, but also mental, the warriors of the Baiteng clan have already endured huge psychological pressure in the previous charge, and at this time, they were attacked by the rockets of the cheats, and all of a sudden they lost their last bit of courage.
And that's not all, followed by artillery sorties.
The artillery had the farthest range, bombarding the attacking troops directly, and after several rounds of bombardment, the attacking forces were interrupted.
A very important factor in the crowd tactics is to launch a steady stream of people to attack, once the crowd is broken, can it still be called a crowd tactics?
The current situation is that the sea of people on the attacking side has been interrupted.
Taking advantage of the fact that the soldiers in the rear could not rush forward in a short time, Wang Xiaoming's troops resolutely launched a deadly attack on the soldiers who had already rushed in front, killing these soldiers who had already rushed over one by one in a short period of time.
When Wang Xiaoming saw this, he also breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the number of soldiers on the other side is very large, the weapons and equipment are too backward, as long as their own soldiers maintain the advantage in firepower and distance, they can be completely suppressed.
A moment later, the soldiers of the Baiteng clan rushed forward again, but at this time, Wang Xiaoming's troops had already taken advantage of that short time. After completing the rest, when they rushed up again, the muskets could continue to fire, as did rockets, grenades and artillery.
At this moment, the last straw was pressed up, and the guns of the ships in the rear also opened fire.
In the past, because of the fear that too much fire would scare these warriors of the Hundred Teng Clan, the artillery on the sea ship was not used, but now it is time to use the artillery.
In the face of that devastating attack. The warriors of the Baiteng clan finally collapsed, they could not see the slightest hope of victory, and in front of their eyes, a tragic picture of the end was unfolded.
Continuing to attack is only a dead end, their only chance to survive is to escape, the farther away the better, far away from these deaths, there is no need to fear being killed by them.
With the collapse of the enemy. The order to attack was also given, but just in case, the attack of the troops was not a swarm of pursuit, but a neat queue. Crush the past in the form of a phalanx.
Under the crushing attack of the firearms troops, the warriors of the Baiteng clan collapsed faster and more completely.
The order for a full-scale pursuit was also given at this time, and the soldiers began to form a team of five and broke away from the team to chase down the collapsed Baiteng soldiers.
In the course of the pursuit. Five hundred crossbowmen became the absolute mainstay.
Because the crossbows fired by these crossbowmen were no less powerful than muskets at close range. As long as you are hit by a crossbow arrow, you are basically shot on the spot.
And the musket needs to be fitted with bullets, it is necessary to prevent the barrel from overheating, and the power is not low at the beginning, and gradually, the pursuit of the musketeers cannot catch up.
However, crossbowmen do not have this problem, and can continue to chase and kill.
The soldiers of the Baiteng tribe were completely killed, and they no longer dared to stay, nor did they dare to continue fighting, and they all rushed to the rear.
The pursuing team pursued the soldiers of the collapsed Baiteng clan until they reached their Dazhai before it was over.
The Dazhai of the Baiteng tribe was built very strongly, and when these warriors retreated to Dazhai and closed the gate of Dazhai, it became difficult to attack Dazhai.
If you want to attack Dazhai, you need artillery, and because the cannon is too large, it can't keep up in a short time.
Moreover, Wang Xiaoming did not have the idea of exterminating the Baiteng clan in a short period of time, and he also wanted to use these soldiers of the Baiteng clan to train his soldiers.
After half a day of fighting, the battle ended, and the result of the battle was a complete victory for Wang Xiaoming's side.
Although it was a complete victory, there were still some casualties, but fortunately, the number of casualties was not too large, only more than 100 casualties, of which only 9 people died, and the remaining 100 people were slightly injured, and the number of serious injuries was also very small.
Moreover, these casualties were not encountered in the war, but when chasing the fleeing soldiers of the Baiteng tribe, some of them were caused by those Baiteng soldiers who were injured and fell to the ground.
Because in the process of pursuit, there were too many corpses of the Baiteng tribe on the road, and for a while it was impossible to distinguish whether these corpses were real dead people or pretending to be dead, so it also gave those Baiteng soldiers who were injured but not dead and pretended to be dead a chance, and when Wang Xiaoming's troops approached these people, they suddenly made a move and were caught off guard, causing casualties in Wang Xiaoming's troops.
This is also the difference between a recruit and a veteran, if it is a veteran, it will be more cautious, even if it encounters a wounded soldier who pretends to be dead, it will not be too flustered, and the recruit is very inexperienced in this kind of thing, once he encounters the enemy who jumps up in general with a "trick corpse", he will first lose his cool and panic, and then he will be taken advantage of by the other party, resulting in casualties.
Without going through war, recruits will never grow up.
The losses of Wang Xiaoming's troops can be said to be negligible, and although more than 100 people were wounded, only a few died.
Looking at the situation of the Baiteng tribe again, it is called a tragedy.
After this battle, the losses of the Baiteng tribe were very huge, just the number of soldiers killed was as high as 5,000, and more than 6,000 people were captured, and the rest fled back to Dazhai with less than 10,000 people.
Just these 10,000 people, that is also a battle Keke, was completely frightened, and did not dare to come out to fight.
This Dazhai is no longer a concern, but the population base in Dazhai is still very large, so Wang Xiaoming still attaches great importance to this Dazhai, and while he is busy collecting prisoners of war and cleaning the battlefield, he still sends people to monitor this Dazhai.
Soon after the battle, the men on board the sea ship quickly landed ashore.
After going ashore, the first thing is to renovate the fishing village, which will later be their temporary settlement, and until the new village is built, they will have to live in the fishing village.
Wang Xiaoming's side was extremely busy, but in the village of the Baiteng clan, it was a cry that shook the sky.
This time, most of the young people in the Baiteng village were brought out, but in the end, less than half of them could come alive, and almost every family had relatives who couldn't come back, so how could they not cry.
cried all night, and when it came to the next day, they didn't even have a chance to cry, because early the next morning, Wang Xiaoming led his troops to attack Dazhai.
Although the main young and middle-aged people in Dazhai have been disabled, the main body of Dazhai is still there, and there are nearly 100,000 residents in the entire Dazhai, which is too many, and it is impossible for Wang Xiaoming to let these residents live here so peacefully.
In the attack on Dazhai, the first thing that began to exert its might was artillery.
Under the attack of artillery, this extremely strong Dazhai could not stop the attack of the artillery at all, and in a short time, the gate of Dazhai was breached, and several walls were also broken.
With the destruction of Dazhai, the Baiteng people living in Dazhai are about to collapse, and the big guys are all fleeing towards the depths of the forest with thin softness.
For these residents in Dazhai, Wang Xiaoming did not plan to kill them all, he just needed to drive them away.
Drive them to the rest of the Baiteng tribe's big village, and you can also spread the prestige of your troops through their mouths.
If you want to gain a foothold here, it is not enough to just kill, because there are too many people in the Baiteng Clan, and you have to rely on killing to gain a foothold here, so how long will you kill?
Therefore, it is the most ideal state to be able to establish their own power without killing people, so that they dare not approach their own territory. (To be continued......)
