Chapter 824. Zhuge regretted defeat, Chen Cang's sea of blood
The bloodiness of this bloody battle is probably no less than the killing of Liu Bei's army when it was blocked by Lu Xun on the Yiling Mountain Road.
The cannon fodder and the pressure troops in front were even all gone, the Chinese army, the same well-trained heavy infantry of the Liangzhou Corps and the Shu Han Tiger Infantry collided together, the axe gun and the heavy Shu Han halberd slashed each other on the other party's heavy armor, smashing out a string of sparks, from time to time someone was stabbed through the armor, smashed to the head, whimpering and dying on the spot.
The brave who are completely brave cannot advance, the cowardly cannot retreat, the people are crowded, the steel hits the steel and the battle is a mess, and even the soldiers who died in battle cannot fall for a while, they can only stand and still stand there, and they are fighting for their own power when they die.
Zhuge Liang's strategic purpose was not achieved, between the two wings, the Hubu army, which had been fused by Shu and Han, rushed out fiercely, vainly like Hannibal's Battle of Cannae, from the two wings to attack Wang Houliangzhou's army, and defeat him on three sides.
The strategic purpose of this step has been achieved, but Wang Hou also has a backhand.
In the past three years, advocating the spirit of martial arts, promoting the morality, intelligence, physical fitness, beauty and labor of knights, and the Guanlong military aristocracy that established the later Wei, Zhou, Sui and Tang dynasties, has quietly risen up in advance, and the heavy cavalry played by the landlord roared and charged in frantically with guns.
Just now, the Southern Barbarian elite soldiers who surrounded the two wings as ironclad berserkers were knocked out like ragdolls under the impact of more than half a ton.
And these heavy armored knights are not in love with war, they rush to leave in a wave, and give the passage to the next comrade-in-arms, the war is simply not like the feudal era, the casualties are as fast as the First World War, and the heavy cavalry charge tide again and again reduces the number of Wudang Fei Army, layer upon layer of berserkers fell under the cavalry spear, and before they could attack the Liangzhou Corps, their corpses were already piled up in the valley.
But the most terrible thing is the head!
With a height difference of forty or fifty meters, the battlefield of several miles is simply a live target for Chen Cang Castle to play at will.
Bang~
The heavy lead ball rubbed against the air and made a piercing scream, and finally landed heavily on a wooden ox and horse, and the large log, which was also nearly half a ton, shattered, and the heavy crossbowman on it flew out with a scream, and the sharp wood also splashed out like bullets.
With a whoosh, a sharp piece of wood happened to be inserted next to Zhuge Liang, and the young and immature guard's neck was unbelievably holding the bleeding neck, and the young man knelt on the ground limply.
It's really like the end of the world, the cannon roars one after another, even if it is a shot put, smashed in the crowd, it can also knock over three or four Shu soldiers like bowling, and those who were killed by the cannon on the spot are lucky, and the Shu army who was broken arm and leg was lying on the ground and wailing, it seems that the stone can cry when he hears it.
This is the Shu army trained by Zhuge Liang, under the almost slaughter-like shelling, the generals at all levels are still roaring and trying their best to shoot arrows forward with their subordinates, and the crossbow arrows shot by the two armies on their heads even collided in mid-air.
The hot blood of the young guard splashed on Zhuge Liang's goose feather fan, on his clothes, on his face, watching him fall, he couldn't help but stand up anymore, Zhuge Liang, who was still full of resoluteness, couldn't help but feel a dazed look in his pupils.
"Young Chang, can we still win?"
"Prime Minister, the army of kings and thieves has been surrounded! He has fewer manpower than our army, as long as he holds on, he will definitely be able to ......"
Before he finished speaking, in the sharp whistling sound, another cannonball fell fiercely, and the splashed dirt hit his face fiercely, and the Zhuge Liang wooden car rattled.
"Ahh......h
Not far away, another Shu army armor soldier was hit alive by this cannon on his waist, this time it was really a living waist cut, his waist was all knocked off, and half of the people who dragged his internal organs screamed on the ground like a ghost, and the sound was so fierce that people's hairs couldn't stop standing up on their backs.
His face was also broken by the flying stones, but he didn't even have time to deal with the wound, he pulled out his sword with a hum, ran two steps over, and stabbed the heart of the soldier who was screaming fiercely, and the blood in his heart was not even splashed out, and there was blood in his mouth, and the struggling sergeant finally lost his life.
This sword, I don't know if it should be considered merciful or cruel, his face was bloody, and he was carrying a bloody sword, and he even hugged his fist a little hesitantly.
"Prime Minister!"
"I'm not afraid of death, but I can't die here!"
"Order Meng Yi to lead the Hubu Army to the palace, pass the order down, and withdraw the army!"
Looking back, I glanced at the north again, it seemed that after the corner of the North Mountain, my eyes could touch the vast Guanzhong Plain of the Wangba's industry, but unfortunately, in front of the Guanzhong and Shu army, the thin layer of Wei army flags became like a moat, it seemed that he was a few years old all of a sudden, and he didn't even want his own wooden cart.
…………
In the narrow mountain road, it is not easy for two armies close together to separate, and the defeated side will never be able to walk without leaving an arm or a thigh.
Zhuge Liang's most powerful iron fist, the Hubu Army modeled after the Liaodong heavy infantry in three years, and their first commander, Meng Yi, were thrown on the battlefield by Zhuge Liang as a price.
It is also worthy of Zhuge Liang, knowing that a strong man needs to break his wrist at a critical moment, and if he hesitates, once the Wudang Fei Army on both wings is defeated by the heavy cavalry of Liangzhou, he will not only lose an elite unit of the Tiger Bu Army.
And in the past three years, Zhuge Liang's hard work has not been in vain, even if all the follow-up troops retreat, these iron bumps of double armor have maintained a strong will to fight, and they will not retreat to fight to the death, blocking the road of Wang Hou's pursuit.
It was also the existence of these people that forced Wang Hou to give up the pursuit of Zhuge Liang, and used heavy cavalry to first penetrate a corner of the Hubu Army, and then flank this heavy infantry on both sides, and the war was fought from noon to four or five o'clock in the afternoon, which solved the entire Hubu Army.
In this battle, Zhuge Liang's three-year hard work is estimated to have been reimbursed, and the fifteen huge return cannons have all turned into pieces under the blow of artillery fire, and the five thousand barbarian light infantry of the front army were almost wiped out, and there were hundreds of remnants left, they almost undertook all the first wave of attacks of the Wei army, and some of the casualties came from the Shu army behind the supervising army, and even the barbarian light infantry who did not even wear cloth clothes and went into battle shirtless, this casualty is also reasonable.
The second casualty was not the Tiger Infantry who served as the rearguard, in fact, there were more than 2,700 people alive in the end of the 5,000 iron cans, and these remnants surrendered exhausted after the death of the commander Meng Yi, and the Shu army suffered the largest casualties and the largest number of two wings of the Nanwudang Flying Army.
With a three-meter cavalry spear between the crotches in a row, the heavy cavalry that launched a spear charge was really strong, especially the assault light cavalry with short weapons that killed and wounded, and the speed of thirty or forty kilometers per hour collided with it, even the Wudang Flying Army wearing a single layer of iron armor could not resist.
It is no wonder that the generations of Western knights lasted for most of the Middle Ages, and the Northern and Southern Dynasties of China were also the golden age of heavy cavalry.
In order to avoid the shelling, Zhuge Liang's rear army also maintained a scattered formation, and there were more than 1,400 Shu troops who died in the artillery.
Even the wounded, captured, and killed in battle, the Shu army lost more than forty percent of the ten percent, in contrast, the Liangzhou army lost less than five hundred in total, and more than two thousand wounded were mainly minor injuries, and there were many people who could be re-put into the battlefield after two days, in the words of a certain patriotic Professor Chen, it was equivalent to no dead people!
With such an advantage, Wang Hou, whose face was blackened by coals, couldn't help but be full of ambition when he looked at the south.
The statue of Zhuge Wuhou was smashed in his hands, and this Three Kingdoms era is also very likely to end in the hands of his king!
"It's my turn!"
