Chapter Seventy-Three: We Can't Do Such a Shameless Thing
Who else can hear?
Even if you hear it, you can't turn back.
This is like a crowd of people, even if the father is shouting behind him, he can't turn back.
The battlefield is a meat grinder.
Wu Zheng led more than 300 people to counterattack.
To say that you are not afraid in your heart is a lie.
Not only Wu Zheng is afraid, but none of the more than 300 veterans under his command are afraid.
It's one thing to be afraid, and it's another thing to rush or not.
Veterans are not like recruits, they all have a shot in their hearts.
Weigh whether you should die or not, whether it's worth it.
Veterans also flee because they don't think they deserve to die, or if they die, they die in vain.
Veterans don't run away because they feel they have to die, and if they don't, they're better off dead.
Therefore, they firmly followed Wu Zheng and died.
The battle was not as terrible as expected.
Both sides have advantages and disadvantages.
The Tartar cavalry was prepared against unprepared, and Wu Zheng was caught off guard.
caused a riot under Wu Zheng's subordinates.
It also made all the decoration of Shining Street in vain.
But Wu Zheng also has an advantage.
First of all, the total manpower is not at a disadvantage.
With one thousand against seven hundred, it is still taking advantage.
Secondly, although the number of counter-charges was small, they fell behind.
But it was also a surprise, and the Tartars obviously did not expect Wu Zheng to lead the army to fight back.
Of course, this does not have essential advantages and cannot change the pattern of the battlefield.
But there is one point, Wu Zheng has an innate advantage.
Location!
The streets of Shining were narrow, and the Tartar cavalry could not pour in one row.
Wu Zheng's troops did not need to face 700 people, at most only three or four people, this was one of them.
Second, it is also a crooked fight, Wu Zheng led his troops to counterattack, which invisibly played a pattern of stalemate with the enemy, which made Tartar's excellent archery skills useless.
Third, the most important. The reason why the Tartars did not continue to charge the Ming army with the advantage of cavalry was not because of their mercy, but because of the previous battle, there were piles of chaos on the streets of Shining, bamboo, stones, wood, and fragments of fire oil cans.
Cavalry charge? It's just looking for your own death.
With these three points, Wu Zheng countercharged the Tartars with more than 300 people, which seemed to be thrilling, but in fact it was not.
At most, it's just a narrow encounter.
The Tartars are not stupid, they quickly make adjustments.
To adjust is to dismount.
Cavalry without speed is inferior to infantry.
Just as a rifle without bullets is a burning stick, no, not as good as a burning stick.
Because the burning stick picks up and smashes people, and it takes advantage of it.
In this way, the advantages and disadvantages of both sides are not concerned.
All that's left is to speak with a knife.
Only a dozen soldiers at the front of both sides were actually fighting.
Only after the soldiers in front are hacked to death and fall can the people behind advance.
It's brutal, but fair.
The soldiers of the Harai Station were fast, and they crawled south from the rooftops of North Street.
When they arrived at the southern half of the street, they suddenly launched an arrow attack.
From top to bottom, facing the Tartars that are close at hand, crowded together.
Almost no need to aim, just arrows to the flesh.
Tartars are cavalry, light cavalry.
No shield equipped.
In addition to the leather jacket on his body, the equipment is no better than that of the Ming army.
was suddenly attacked by the Ming army, and dozens of people fell from arrows at once.
But the Tartar reacts just as fast.
After dozens of people fell, the space created was enough for them to take the bow from their backs and bend the bow to build arrows.
The second battlefield was thus opened.
In front is hand-to-hand combat, in the middle is the flying arrows.
The archery skills of the Ming army were indeed inferior to those of the Tartars, and the interval between shots and the accuracy determined the victory or defeat.
Arrows were constantly being shot on both sides, but the number of Ming troops falling from the roof was much higher than the number of Tartars who fell to the ground with arrows.
But one thing is certain, Wu Zheng achieved his goal.
The Tartars were indeed blocked in the southern half of the street, and they were not allowed to enter even a step.
This gave the chaotic Ming army, the time to regroup.
But the problem is that in this way, the three hundred guards led by Xiao Anzi are strong, and after they enter the store, they find that there is no use at all, and the Tartars are blocked in the south half of the street and cannot enter, even if there is a good ambush, they can't use it.
Wu Zheng also woke up to his mistake at this time.
But it can't be changed, to be precise, it's hard to say.
Such a stalemate in hand-to-hand combat is not allowed to retreat at all.
Even the slightest loosening of the line would have caused the defensive line to collapse.
At the moment, it is just a breath, and as soon as this breath is released, then a river of spring water will flow eastward.
Therefore, Wu Zheng's department fell into a hard struggle.
Hold on with your life.
……。
Shen Zhiyuan shouted that he couldn't return to the hundreds of bastards who were running, so he could only chase after them.
I thought that these bastards were surging in blood, and they picked up knives to fight with the Tartars.
didn't want to, Shen Zhiyuan found that he hadn't run more than 100 feet.
The bastards quickly turned around and folded into the alley between the shops.
Shen Zhiyuan almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, and fled in battle, he hated himself for not having a few more hands, and beheaded these bastards one by one.
Taking a deep breath, Shen Zhiyuan made a decision, chase!
But as soon as he turned into the alley, Shen Zhiyuan's eyes were dark.
I was outflanked by four bastards from the left and right, and I became a prisoner.
Shen Zhiyuan's face was sad and indignant, he died before he left the school, Brother Wu Zheng, you are right, I am really not suitable for the army.
Fortunately, the bastards did not poison Shen Zhiyuan.
A burly man walked up to Shen Zhiyuan, "Lord Shen, if you promise not to shout, I will let people let go of your mouth." ”
Shen Zhiyuan nodded again and again.
The man shook his head, and the bastard let go of his mouth covering Shen Zhiyuan.
"Come on, kill the deserters...... Not! ”
The man was furious and scolded: "Sure enough, the dog officials are all urine." None of them counted. ”
Shen Zhiyuan glared angrily.
The man suppressed his voice and said, "Young Master Shen, you don't know me, but I know you." ”
Shen Zhiyuan scolded in his heart, I am the only son of the Shen family, how many people in Shining Town don't know this young master?
The man ignored Shen Yang's vicious eyes, and Gu Zi said: "Young Master Shen, no one is a bad breed, but at this time, to help Lord Wu is nothing more than to help Lord Wu, and it can't help at all, but it will cause chaos for Lord Wu." ”
Shen Zhiyuan no longer made a snort, he knew that this man was right, more than a thousand people on both sides of the enemy and us were crowded in this narrow street, and it was difficult to turn around.
These hundred bastards rushed forward, and it really didn't do much use.
At the same time, Shen Zhiyuan also heard that the man had something to say to himself.
So Shen Zhiyuan nodded.
The man obviously understood what Shen Zhiyuan meant, and tilted his head again, making people let go of Shen Zhiyuan's mouth.
Shen Zhiyuan spat on the ground in disgust, what did this bastard's hand touch, it stinks?
"You...... Didn't you flee from the battle? Shen Zhiyuan asked.
The man patted his chest and said, "Even if our Zhou Dahu has done some things that harm his neighbors on weekdays, he is also a well-known man." There is a way that is a mouthful of spit and a nail, since we promised Lord Wu, how can we escape? Isn't that talking like a fart? We can't do such shameless things. ”
