Chapter 105: Let's Run
Although the chaotic artillery caused a series of effects on one's side, on the whole, the impact was really not large.
Even, some troops, under the guidance of the graduates of the Martial Arts School, chose to retreat at the first moment of enemy artillery fire. As a result, there were zero casualties.
Under the cover of the cannon screen, flames and smoke were burning everywhere.
The snow was inevitably sprinkled with mottled blood.
Opposite, behind a cannon curtain, Tong Yangzhen's face showed a bloodthirsty smile.
"Sure enough, it's still so embarrassing." He rode on his horse, looked at the battlefield behind the artillery fire in front of him, and said to his son with a smile, "See? The army of the Ming Dynasty? Hmph, can this also be called an army? Or four Baylor wise! I wasn't fooled by the appearance of these guys! If I had launched an attack earlier, I am afraid that this line of defense would have been in my Houjin's bag a long time ago! ”
"Dad, you're right!" Tong Fengnian also showed a smug smile, looked at the battlefield where the artillery had been swept away, he decided to take the initiative to ask for help, and said to Tong Fengnian: "Dad! The artillery is almost over, let me go! Watch me clear the rest of the obstacles for you! ”
First there was an artillery onslaught, then the cavalry harvested, and finally the infantry occupied.
This method of warfare cannot be said to be outdated, because in fact it is quite effective.
Tong Yangzhen was already familiar with this tactic, and he also agreed with his son's initiative to ask for help, and immediately ordered: "That's good!" Go ahead! Harvest year, play the demeanor of my queen golden man! Pine year, ready! When Fengnian cut off the opponent's line, immediately lead the infantry to attack! ”
Tong Fengnian and Tong Songnian's cousins obeyed the order.
Tong Fengnian waved his saber and rode forward, "Brothers! Adults have orders! Charge! ”
The soldiers of the Tong Yangzhen Division, who had hardly tasted defeat in the hands of the Ming army, had extremely strong self-confidence in the situation of absolute superiority in artillery fire. At the instigation of Tong Fengnian, he quickly launched an attack with Tong Fengnian.
Like the scythe of death, the cavalry swept swiftly towards the musketeers of the Ming army, who were not protected by pikemen, and the speed was extremely fast, with the whistling north wind, rolling up a cloud of snow and dust.
On the position of the Ming army, Zhang Fu, who had just crossed his feet to watch the play, had already entered a state of imminent battle at this time.
"It's really bullying me, and there is no one in the Ming Dynasty! Get ready! He gritted his teeth and gave the order.
In the final analysis, the role of the staff in the army has not been fully played at this time. If it weren't for the fact that he was Zhang Deshou's nephew, I am afraid he would not have received such attention. But none of this mattered, and under his shouting, the entire artillery battalion quickly moved.
All the artillery was aimed at the front of your infantry position.
"Ready-to-go!"
A platoon of heavy guns imported from Europe ignited the fuse at the same time, and shells rained down on the intended location. Almost in the blink of an eye, the fastest platoons of cavalry were blown up.
Tong Fengnian, who almost escaped death, never imagined that the other party would dare to set artillery attacks at such a close distance from his infantry position. Even, affected by artillery fire, the other side also produced a small part of the combat attrition.
But the other side is clearly well trained!
You must know that during this period of time, with the participation of these trainee staff members of the Martial Arts Academy, the training level of the entire army has increased. Especially in the coordinated operation of multiple arms, everyone can see that Ye Fu attaches great importance to it, so it has become the top priority of training during this time.
Therefore, in this case, the opposing infantry turned out to be not in the slightest disorder. Even if there was a reduction in personnel, the situation was quickly brought under control.
But on the other hand, they have been frightened by this artillery fire.
The cavalry, which was rushing too fast, did not have time to react at all, and was knocked to the ground by artillery fire. Occasionally, a few lucky ones, or frightened horses, were so uncontrollable that they plunged directly into the opponent's battle formation, and were instantly stabbed into a sieve by the opponent's musketeers who didn't know what weapons they used. The rest of the people almost didn't even have time to react, and they subconsciously turned the horse's head and were about to run.
"Hey, hey, happy, happy!" The blow succeeded, Tang Wang was overjoyed, patted Zhang Fu on the shoulder and said to him, "You kid is good!" There is no vain learning in the school! What a student of our adults! Don't worry, follow me, you will be there in the future! ”
Zhang Fu didn't show too much excitement, but when he heard Tang Wang mention Ye Fu, he subconsciously stood up straight, and responded with his head held high: "Since he is a student of an adult, he is naturally willing to die for an adult!" Please rest assured that you will do your best! ”
Hearing these words, Tang Wang's ears felt strange.
Instead, Lu Ding glanced at Zhang Fu and nodded slowly in his heart.
You must know that Ye Fu's propaganda teaching is far from being spread to these armies. Instead, it is just a military academy as a pilot, and what it does is basically to brainwash these cadets.
Now it seems that this effect is really not ordinarily good!
Just look at Zhang Fu's performance to know where is the court in their hearts? It was Ye Fu who fed and clothed them, it was Ye Fu who made them learn, it was Ye Fu who gave them a place to use, and it was Ye Fu who allowed them to get from the big head soldiers to the official rank. It's all Ye Fu, what did the court do? It's no wonder that the object they are willing to die for will be Ye Fu.
However, even if Lu Ding found out the abnormality, he didn't show it.
After all, he himself is also Ye Fu's subordinate, and his intention to serve Ye Fu is the same as these young men.
Just when Lu Ding was stunned, over there, Tang Wang, who had not thought clearly, had already given up thinking, and the battle situation in front of him did not allow him to be so stunned as the supreme commander.
He immediately ordered: "Order! The cavalry battalion outflanked from both sides! The musketeers attacked from it head-on! Command to go down and capture the enemy chieftain alive, and the lord will be rewarded! ”
Following his order, the cavalry battalion directly under the brigade, which had already been in ambush, quickly outflanked the enemy from both sides. The musketeers facing the ground fired their guns in a row, according to the juniors of the opposing cavalry.
There were constantly cavalry falling off their horses, and Tong Fengnian, who was lucky enough to escape, was full of despair.
In the distance, Tong Yangzhen had already noticed the situation here.
He was also shocked in his heart!
It can be said that he was not originally a particularly qualitative character, otherwise, how could he say surrender and surrender? Didn't you see that the other party was stronger and lost the confidence to resist?
In the face of the vulnerable Ming army, he was full of confidence. But at this moment, it was obvious that he had encountered Waterloo, and his state of mind suddenly changed from the joy of imminent victory to a defeat.
"How can this be~~" he muttered.
Just when he was staring at the other side and didn't know what to do, he only heard Tong Songnian say in his ear: "Uncle! The enemy is strong, let's run! ”
