Chapter 212: If you are not afraid of death, you will be afraid

"It's over! We lost. ”

"I regret not listening to the previous Huang Taiji's warning, and I actually thought of using the cavalry army to attack the steel battle array of the new army of the Ming Dynasty......"

At this time, the two white flag owners of the new generation of cannon fodder, Gu De and Gu Bai, who had been withdrawn, looked at each other like wooden chickens.

Their faces were pale, their bodies were cold, and the fearless courage they had seemed to have vanished.

The momentary miscommand of the two brought about a catastrophe, resulting in more than half of the elite cavalry soldiers of the two white flags dying on this great plain in just an instant.

At this time, the roars of those wounded soldiers on the battlefield were still ringing in my ears, and when I looked around the battlefield, I saw the corpses spread in the great plains layer by layer.

The unsightly tragedy in front of me, under the reflection of the countless bonfires, in the dark and oppressive night, is truly like hell, which is unbearable.

When, with the same number of opponents, the warriors of the Sauron tribe, who had never lost, would be so vulnerable?

What is even more unbearable is that their 200,000-strong army, the cavalry group charge, in the case of losing more than half of it, actually failed to get close to the opponent's 30 zhang, let alone inflict even the slightest casualty on the enemy!

This is what makes Goode and Cooper unable to figure it out at all.

In the past, the warriors of the Sauron tribe basically never lost when they were fighting, let alone a fiasco like today.

At this time, the two felt as if they had not woken up and were still in a dream.

Suddenly, Goode remembered the scene at dusk today, when he was drinking with a Zhenghuang Qijia La'e Zhen:

When the wine was half-drunk, the armor was really a little out of shape, and kept talking about the soldiers of the Ming New Army, how fierce, cunning and powerful they were, and how difficult the black-clothed and black-armored soldiers I met before were......

He was dismissive at the time, he slammed the table, and scolded the Zhenghuang Banner Ezhen, saying that he was afraid of the Han people in the south, and he was not worthy of being a warrior on the grassland.

He remembered that he patted his chest at that time, and said to the Zhenghuang Banner who was a little drunk and dizzy, that he would wipe out the pursuers of the Ming New Army who did not know whether they were alive or dead at night.

At the beginning of the battle tonight, when he did not launch a large army charge, he looked at his large and prosperous army, and believed that the warriors of the Sauron clan would be able to take down these enemies in one fell swoop.

So, he led his army to attack head-on, ignoring what Huang Taiji had repeatedly emphasized to him before.

The result was beyond his imagination, after the first battle, he would be defeated and flee for his life, and more than half of the men and horses he led had been lost on this great plain.

All thoughts are lost, and he is already bored.

More than half of his own people have been lost, at least most of them are his own responsibility, and perhaps only death can atone for his sins.

Goode looked at the central tent in his sight, which was already close in front of him, and he did not continue to take a step.

"Once you stumble into a thousand years of hatred", I don't know the head of the Sauron clan, do you know this Chinese saying?

He pulled out the scimitar at his waist that exuded a sweet and bloody smell and slashed it at his neck with all his might.

He has already damaged more than half of the elite of the Sauron clan, and he has no face to run back, or he has calculated himself!

And at this time, in the rear, the chasing soldiers of the Ming New Army, the heavy sound of horses' hooves, became more and more urgent, more and more violent, and gradually resounded through the sky!

Cooper was walking in front and was about to ask Gude to gather the warriors of his clan to run, but he heard a "pop" behind him.

When he looked back, he found that his brother Goode had committed suicide, and immediately hugged his body in grief and began to cry.

It was only at this time that Gu Bai understood that these days, the Emperor Taiji and his Houjin army were in a state of almost despair and helplessness. fantasy

Cooper had experienced countless battles, and this was the first time in his life that he had seen such a pattern of warfare, which was completely beyond his understanding of warfare.

He used to be a mercenary, and he also fought many times with the Ming officers and soldiers in the Liaodong region, although the Ming army was also equipped with a large number of firearms, bows, and cannons, but it definitely did not have such sharp artillery and crossbows as today.

Moreover, in the past, although the Ming army had a large number of firearms, they were not good at using firearms, and the power of firearms was not great.

In addition, the Ming army in the Liaodong region in the past was very afraid of short-handed combat, once the Houjin army was not defeated by the Ming army's firearms at the time of the battle, then as long as the Houjin army was close to the Ming army, the Ming army would often roll up the flag and scatter, and finally be defeated by the Houjin army.

Often in a battle, they will be beaten by the Houjin army and lose their armor and be defeated.

Therefore, in the past, few people in the Ming army dared to conduct field battles with the Houjin army in the field, and the few so-called victories fought were mostly defensive battles, defending some fortified cities, relying on some heavy artillery, waiting for the enemy to retreat, even if it was a victory.

The more than 200,000 Ming new troops he saw today were very different from those Liaodong Ming troops he had encountered before, they had strict military discipline, and more than 200,000 soldiers and horses commanded flexibly, like an arm.

The sharpness of their artillery and crossbows is something that their Sauron warriors have never seen in their lives.

Especially with a non-stop shooting like tonight, almost the warriors of his clan were powerless, let alone fighting back.

And the soldiers under his command, it cannot be said that they are not brave enough, these warriors under his supervision, one after another charged towards the front of the Ming New Army.

However, without exception, they were slaughtered by these artillery and crossbows of the other side, leaving them no chance to get close to the enemy formation.

At this moment, Gu Bai's heart was bleeding, this time he commanded the 60,000 wild girl Zhen two white flag soldiers and horses, nearly half of them were the essence of the Sauron clan, gathering almost all the young men in the clan!

These new troops of the Ming Dynasty, whether in terms of training, equipment, or even tactics, far surpassed all the troops known to Gu Bai in this era, and the tactics used were not at all a tactic they understood.

The battle formation of the new army of the Ming Dynasty can output super strong and continuous firepower, these cannons hit far and accurately, and the power is huge, and the cannons can reach several miles away.

Their crossbows can reach nearly 200 paces, and the enemy's formation is almost a dead land, as long as you enter this area, no matter what kind of heavy armor you wear, how strong and skilled your martial arts are, as long as you are attacked by concentrated fire, there is almost no reason to escape.

The new army of the Ming Dynasty continued to use strong crossbow salvos to strike at the enemy, and after each round of salvo fire, there would be a large number of clansmen and warriors on the battlefield who fell in a pool of blood, either killed on the spot, or seriously wounded, and fell to the ground whining and wailing, life is better than death.

At this time, Gu Bai knew what fear was, so he and Gu De hurriedly ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops, but the other party did not let go of his intentions and immediately launched a pursuit battle.

The artillery has not stopped from the beginning of the war to this moment.

In order to maintain the continuity of fire, those artillery batteries began to switch to alternate fire after the initial period of heavy salvo fire, preventing all the artillery from being subjected to continuous fire due to the high temperatures, which caused the artillery to interrupt the shelling.

These artillerymen were very ferocious and shrewd, and wherever the enemy approached, they would shoot wherever there were many enemy troops, and they would hit a large area, so that their own cavalry brigade was overturned.

Those Sauron generals wearing heavy armor, the armor on their bodies has become a burden, in front of the cannons of the new army of the Ming Dynasty, like paper paste, they will die if they are touched, and they will be injured when they touch, and they will not play the due protective role at all.

Seeing that their soldiers had retreated and had run out of the distance of their crossbows, the crossbowmen were ordered to stop firing, but the artillery still did not give up, constantly adjusting the elevation angle of the muzzle, and kept firing at their own routers.

Wherever the blazing flowering bombs passed, all life became the object of their harvest.

Now, looking at those panicked clansmen, who were divided into chaotic troops by the enemy army, and reluctantly launched a pursuit, Gu Bai wanted to cry without tears.

In his mind, after a quick thought, Gu Bai jumped up, jumped on the best war horse beside him, shouted to the clansmen and warriors not far away, and galloped away towards the east.

Shengjing City, he didn't dare to go back, going back was a dead end.

Now the only way to escape back to the ancestral land outside the Great Wall of the East and hide far away with the clansmen is the best policy.

In the future, he never wanted to see these demonic Ming New Army again.
