Chapter 593: Please Go See the Meteor Shower (Second Update, Ask for Subscription)
Rout!
Fear on the battlefield is contagious, just like a vicious infectious disease, once it is emanated, it is difficult to control, even the elite of a hundred battles will be infected by the fear transmitted around. In fact, the so-called "camp roar" is probably because of fear, because of people's inner fear, even despair, when thousands of thieves fled towards the rear, they coerced all the people in the rear to flee together, whether they wanted to or not, they were forced to be mixed in and flee to the rear.
What is the rear?
It's Baoding City!
When the thieves fell into a rout in the pursuit of the assault troops, the cavalry that had been waiting for a long time also followed the depth of the thieves, and tens of thousands of cavalry "flew" towards the thieves like a loaded cannonball. And in their rear were the infantry who expanded the victory. A shrill whistle like a crow's scream echoed in the night sky, but what was even more shocking was the onslaught of tens of thousands of cavalry, like summer thunder, echoing across the earth.
When these cavalry killed among the fleeing thieves, they didn't even use double-barreled muskets, but used cavalry knives, brandished the sabers in their hands and chased them behind, with the impact of the horses, the sharp blades could easily cut off the heads of the thieves, and the appearance of the cavalry intensified the fear of the thieves, and in order to survive, they had to run back desperately.
There were those who fled, and there were also those who fought, and the gunners in those gun sheds also tried to fire cannons to stop the cavalry attack, but the gun sheds without infantry cover, even if there were Franc machines and red-coated cannons, they were powerless in the face of the influx of cavalry, and even when the tomb-like gun sheds flames and exposed themselves, the cavalry immediately killed them, went around their rear and threw a grenade into the doorway, sometimes the grenade even detonated the gunpowder in the gun shed, The violent explosion not only overturned the fort, but also shook the earth, and the light of the explosion reflected the figures of these cavalry, with this light, the cavalry were like evil spirits out of hell, rushing to kill on the battlefield, and the cavalry knives in their hands, like the scythe of death, harvested life on this "wheat field".
For these thieves without armor protection, those cavalry knives are simply "big killing weapons", even if the officers and soldiers on horseback are just a light cut, with a drag of the horse, they can cut off half of their bodies, and the cavalry who rushed into the ranks of the thieves is like a steel knife of a meat grinder, twisting their bodies with sabers in the crowd, for a while, the crowd is full of blood splashes, although the blood is seen in the night, and the broken arms and heads that fly horizontally cannot be seen, but the thick smell of blood is permeated in the air, Even the cavalrymen found themselves wet with their pants - soaked in the blood of thieves.
For the living thieves, in the face of the cavalry chasing from behind, they have long lost the courage to resist, and they have only one thought in their hearts - escape!
Only by fleeing can you survive.
On the battlefield, this seems to be a simple truth, even many old battalion soldiers have chosen to escape, not that they don't know that it is very dangerous to leave their backs to the officers and soldiers, but at this time they obviously can't care so much, if everyone escapes, the person who doesn't flee will definitely die!
People are always afraid of death, and even the most courageous people, in this kind of chaos and rout, they can't help but choose to save their lives.
And when everyone makes that choice, the rout is inevitable.
However, despite the rout ahead, as soon as he learned the news, Gao Yigong led the elite of the three thousand old battalions to the front and killed him.
"The big guys shouted together, formed a formation on the spot, and those who retreated, there was no mercy! Shout loudly! Shoot arrows and stop them with arrows! ”
Although it is difficult to distinguish each other at night, the shouts of thousands of old battalion soldiers still play a certain role, of course, the real effect is the bow and arrow, although the quality of the thief's bow and arrow is average, but for the thief without protection, it is full of lethality, and its rate of fire is very fast, in a rain of arrows, accompanied by the chorus of thousands of people, the thief who had been retreating actually stopped.
The front is dead?
Backwards are also death, what should I do?
Just when these retreating thieves didn't know what choice to make, the cavalry chasing behind them noticed the abnormality in front of them, and almost at the moment when they realized that the thieves were regrouping their team, Su San shouted loudly to the heralds on the side.
"Signal canister, signal canister, hit the thief!"
With Su San's order, several signal canisters were fired in the direction of the thieves, and the fiery red signal flares lit up the sky like flares, and also reflected the panicked faces on the ground, the thieves looked at the red signal flares in horror, and their panicked faces were full of confusion.
What is this thing for?
These rogues don't know. It means that other people don't know the signal, but what it's used for, which is used to indicate the target.
Almost at the same time that the red flares tore through the darkness and flew towards the thieves, the artillery officers in the rear spotted them, and they immediately gave the order:
"The angle of fire has been increased by three degrees, and the artillery fire covers the depth of the enemy army!"
With an order, the artillerymen who had been waiting for a long time immediately adjusted the angle of the whirlwind rocket with the order, and then lit the fuse, the red fire snake quickly burned to the tail of the gun, at the moment when the fire snake disappeared, suddenly the launch tube spit out a cloud of white smoke, the smoke and the tail flame suddenly tore through the dark night in an instant, and made a somewhat weird whistling sound and flew into the sky, almost at the same time, the continuous whirlwind rockets flew out, for a while, only the "chirp" when the whirlwind rocket was launched between the sky and the earthSound.
The artillerymen who had been waiting for a long time finally exerted all their accumulated strength, and hundreds of whirlwind rocket launchers launched nearly 2,000 cyclone rockets in less than a few seconds.
This kind of artillery bombardment is not only for the rogues of this era, but also for the army three hundred years later, it is also a disaster, and nearly 2,000 rockets accurately cover the rear of the rogues.
At the moment when a storm of cannonballs fell, everything in heaven and earth was lit up by the flames of the explosion, and in this moment the darkness seemed to disappear, and the sky and the earth were ignited by the whirlwind rockets. The night is lit up by artillery fire and becomes day......
