Chapter 529: Resistance Battle (II)
The solid shell quickly hit the crowd, because there were too many people, and it didn't need to hit too high.
Rumble!
"Run!"
"Run!"
"There's an ambush!"
"I'll go back and call someone!"
……
The neighing of horses and the chaotic sounds of soldiers were soon overshadowed by the sound of gunfire.
"Hit! Fight to the death! ”
Chai Tuo stood on the mountain bag behind him and said viciously.
He kept a close eye on the battle in the distance, while quickly thinking about what to do next.
The guards next to him quickly said: "Regiment commander! The enemy cavalry is almost out of range of the warriors! ”
Chai Tuo said calmly: "Don't worry, we are currently going to eat this large army, and those people will be solved by the reserve force and send a signal to the rear!" ”
"Yes!"
The guard quickly pulled out a flare gun from his waist and, after taking out a black flare from his pocket, quickly ran to a place ten meters away to reload.
Although it was very nervous, and the originally skillful movements were dulled for a while due to hand tremors, the black flare still flew into the sky smoothly and exploded into black smoke.
After seeing that the signal was raised normally, the guard returned to Chai Tuo's side.
Chai Tuo is not the only one who observes the battlefield, the commander-in-chief this time is Chai Tuo, but he is not the only one in the command.
No one in Lanling County has ever had experience in large-scale operations, and it can be said that there is a shortage of such talents in the entire empire, and the few who are basically the mainstays of the empire.
Wang Lanling's command ability is not strong, and his strength is still prestige.
With him as the backbone, the troops were able to hold out until the last moment without problems, and they were also able to exert their strength and fighting spirit beyond the norm.
He was an irreplaceable spiritual symbol, and he was also the one who single-handedly built and raised the army and the government, and occupied a unique trust among the vast number of workers and peasants.
If we want to talk about military affairs, what is stronger is the strategic layout and tactical system that surpasses the era, but on the contrary, the battlefield command and adaptability are very insufficient.
Therefore, Wang Lanling has always broken up the army and fought in a small-scale collective battle.
This time, I didn't think Chai Tuo was better than him, because everyone was a starting line, but Wang Lanling had more experience in commanding.
The main thing is that the rear needs to be guarded by one person, and Gong Yueman can coordinate better in peacetime, but the current situation and people's hearts are very unstable, and Wang Lanling must guard the rear.
"Captain! The enemy fled to the north, northwest, and west, and a small number of those who rushed to our positions were killed! ”
One observer quickly reported what he had seen.
Chai Tuo looked at several positions and roughly estimated the number of people.
After a short period of thought, Chai Tuo quickly said: "We can't let them converge and rectify, we must break up these people!" Order, another minute of firepower, and then pursue north! ”
"Yes!"
The trumpeter next to him quickly raised the horn and blew the tune of the fire suppression at the same time.
Originally, because the enemy's retreat was somewhat weakened firepower, at this time it was fought again without money.
Many infantry fighters who tried to pick up their rifles and wounded comrades were instantly taught the lessons of modern warfare.
There are no bunkers, no trenches, no brick walls of houses, no body armor and helmets......
The only things that could stop the bullets of these infantry were the bodies of their comrades and the corpses of their horses.
"Chase!"
Chai Tuo didn't wait for a minute later, he also clearly understood the preciousness of ammunition, and decisively gave the pursuit order after the enemy had almost fled.
This time it was blown by a trumpeter? It's the Bugle Call!
The bodies of the fighters are already warmed up? Because of the artillery and the hot barrels, and the mutilated corpses that they saw in their eyes, most people forgot their fears.
"Ulla!"
Wu Chi shouted? Quickly crawled out of the trench? After raising the rifle in his hand, he quickly rushed out.
Wuchi is not the only one who dares to charge? The people here in Lanling County are basically people who have seen a lot of dead people a long time ago, whether it is killing horse bandits or killing heinous squires and landlords? These people have all done it.
Hundreds of warriors quickly chased after the northern position, and from their mouths came an inexplicable roar? And after this sound was transmitted to the infantry team dozens of meters away, it was tantamount to a ghost crying and howling, like a fierce tiger.
"Put down your arms and kneel! Surrender or kill! ”
Dong Guo Zheng shouted on the battlefield with his deep internal strength, and he was also a member of the pursuit team, but at this time he was armed with a machete, not a rifle in his hand.
The infantry team of Muzhou Mansion could only see the horse's tail of the cavalry team from a distance at this time, and they were already desperate!
Running here itself? Can't eat enough and don't have warm clothes, plus cold hands and feet? Got a sore throat? I saw the people behind me getting closer and closer.
"I surrender! Grandpa spares his life! Grandfather! "A soldier decisively dropped his weapon? Poof, he fell to his knees!
The Vulches ran past this man? He kicked a nearby rifle aside and continued to chase the rest of the men.
Whoever does not surrender will be selected by the bullet!
As more and more people who fled were hit by bullets and fell to the ground crying, more and more people chose to drop their weapons and surrender!
Chai Tuo is watching the dynamics on the battlefield? He quickly said: "The herald will follow on horseback, and after fifteen minutes, regardless of the outcome of the battle, quickly retreat!" ”
"Yes!"
One of the trumpeters, who was standing next to the headquarters, quickly ran out with the horn on his back.
There are five people in charge of blowing the horn, three of them are doing things, and two of them are preparing.
Bullets don't have eyes, no matter who is on this battlefield, there is a possibility that they will die anytime and anywhere!
Human physical strength does not last long, and neither are the recharged warriors and the long-distance exhausted infantry troops.
As long as you are a soldier in Lanling County, you must be able to eat one meal of meat every day.
After two years of recuperation, coupled with long-term training and labor, the team of more than 1,000 people is basically all elite.
"Captain! The scout team has sent a signal! The iron bridge has been blown up! ”
Chai Tuo nodded, "Okay." ”
Several mountains near Mushroom Mountain have perennial streams flowing downstream, from Yanshan Lake to the Lanling County area, and then to Shanhai Lake, which itself is the convergence of many rivers.
After the Iron Camel tribe returned to Wang Lanling's side, Wang Lanling rebuilt bridges in several places for convenient transportation.
The iron bridge is a new bridge, and the river below is more than three meters wide, which is not too big.
The horses and infantry had passed through here, but when the iron bridge was blown up, the soldiers had to jump over.
This is not a standing long jump, in fact, many people can jump over the river after a sprint.
However, the more people jumped, the more people fell into the cold river, especially the soil on both sides of the river was constantly trampled on, and the people behind quickly stepped on it.
At this time, the river has not completely frozen, so many people will step on the ice and feel the cold water of Muzhou.
Chai Tuo had already determined that most of the people in the north would collapse, but those who ran to the west would not be able to deal with it for the time being.
The sporadic gunfire continued, and Chai Tuo waited for reports from the front and rear.
"Report!"
A herald on a fast horse ran over, jumped off his horse and quickly came to report the situation.
"The cavalry that fled to Linshan County has been jointly exterminated by the people of the Third Militia Regiment, the First Engineer Company, the Second Engineer Company, and the First Patrol Team!"
Chai Tuo breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said: "Mobilize the people of the militia regiment to come and collect the loot and prisoners, and the engineer company to replenish twenty boxes of ammunition, Li Jianzhu continues to take the patrol team to inspect the interior, and send people to inform several counties in the west, and when the war on our side is resolved, we will go there to deal with the defeated soldiers!" ”
At present, I don't have the energy to take care of the affairs of the other counties, I just hope that they are all Imperial, and those stragglers don't bully the rest.
Chai Tuo waited for the report of the team in front, and after nearly an hour, he saw the soldiers of the pursuing team return.
There were many more people who came back than they went out, most of them on horseback, and in the middle of the line were the grizzled Imperial soldiers.
Hu Zhong breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Wu Chi and the rest of the people returning, and continued to collect the weapons scattered on the ground with the people of the engineering team, and carried the wounded prisoners back on stretchers for treatment.
The militia pressed cartloads full of booty with ropes and marched to the city with mules and horses.
There were also clean carts used to treat the wounded, and the wounds were disinfected and bandaged by the medics under the protection of the armed soldiers.
Although I didn't give anything to eat, there was enough hot water pipe.
After realizing that they would not be killed, the soldiers gradually lost the idea of resisting.
The fighters returned to the trenches to rest and eat, and although many had no appetite to eat, there were not enough people at the moment, and the fighters had to take turns resting, and some had to stay for a few more hours before going down to rest.
The inventory of the battlefield was carried out by specialized personnel, and a number of healthy prisoners were mobilized to clean the battlefield, identify the corpses, and use pieces of paper to identify the names of the dead.
By the time it all drew to a close, the sky was already overcast.
The mood of the soldiers is not very high, it is difficult for anyone to be really happy on this battlefield, and no matter how optimistic people are, as long as they see the bloody battlefield outside, they cannot be optimistic.
Hu Zhong drank the hot water gently, and when he was dazed, he saw a few white things falling.
After looking up at the sky, I heard someone next to me say, "It's snowing." ”
"Lord Wang is here!"
"Lord Wang is here!"
"Lanling County will win!"
"Lord Wang! We've won the battle! ”
Cheerful and excited shouts rang out from outside, deafening cheers that seemed to make the snowflakes fall faster.
