Chapter 494: Yue Tuo is captured
A series of explosions suddenly erupted on the battlefield on the left flank made tens of thousands of prisoners startled, and when they saw Shao Derong's troops breaking through the defense while the left flank coated minions had not come to their senses, Yue Tuo hurriedly shouted, "Cavalry block." ”
However, it is of no avail.
In such a battlefield, it is almost impossible to rely on voice to transmit orders.
While Cao Bianjiao and Shao Derong disrupted Jianyu's battle array, the 12,000-foot army led by Liu Ximing finally arrived at the battlefield.
"The crossbowman is in front, the bird gun is behind, and the spear array protects the two wings", it was originally said that Zhou Yuji would lead the army, but at this time, Liu Ximing took all the authority.
It's just that Zhou Yuji was surprised to find that Liu Ximing, the new Amber, was very skilled in on-the-spot battles, and he was also able to command the army and horses, which made him feel relieved.
Among the 20,000 horses, only the 5,000 soldiers and horses led by Shao Derong are the real elite of the Longxiang Division, and only 2,000 musketeers with the Longxiang II style are in the forefront at the moment.
As for the 7,000 soldiers of the Beijing Battalion led by Zhou Yuji and Jiang Deshen, although they are also rare warriors, and 4,000 of them are from the Shenji Battalion.
However, the firearms used by the Daming Shenji Battalion are varied, and the quality is even more uneven, and Liu Ximing did not dare to give them the Longxiang two styles, so at this time, the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion could only act as a rearguard.
A group of soldiers in the Beijing camp in big red mandarin duck robes, you look at me, I look at you, one by one, holding the shoddy three-eyed guns, bird guns, guns and other things in their hands, a little at a loss.
Why is it that our Beijing camp is about to become a miscellaneous mess.
Look at the long-handled shotguns under the command of Deputy Chief Shao, they all seem to be much more elite than us.
Originally, the soldiers of the Beijing camp who were still a little skilled, all of them were a little ashamed.
Zhou Yuji's face turned red and rushed to Liu Xi's side, "Junmen, all the soldiers of my Beijing camp are invited to fight, and please let me wait to take the lead." ”
Liu Ximing smiled, "Don't worry, general, when you go into battle, you will first command the crossbowmen for me, and immediately withdraw them to the rear team after seeing the commander's command." ”
Zhou Yuji still wanted to argue, but Liu Ximing's face turned pale, "On the battlefield, respect the orders of the commander, Vice General Zhou, carry out the order!" ”
"Oh", seeing that Liu Xi's mind had been decided, Zhou Yuji reluctantly hugged his fists and replied in the style of the soldiers who had just emerged.
"Respect talents, quickly lead the men and horses to arrange artillery."
Shao Derong's ideological and political officer, Zheng Jingcai, the commander of Zheng Sipin, hugged his fists and left, and went to arrange.
Shao Derong's troops were equipped with artillery, but because they often had to move to fight, they only carried eight three-inch guns that could be pulled by horses.
In front of so many people, Liu Ximing couldn't take out dozens of Italian cannons, so he could only settle down.
Yue Tuo's Chinese army was already in chaos at this time.
Who would have thought that after the two cavalry, more than 10,000 infantry troops came in the middle of the road, and on the Jianyu side, some were busy fighting against the cavalry, and some were in a hurry and wanted to turn to the formation to fight against Liu Xi's army, which was already like a headless fly.
"Baya La's soldiers go up first", Yue Tuo's bubble eyes were already glaring, seeing that the battlefield situation was gradually about to be controlled by the Ming army, he was anxious and his whip kept pumping on the soldiers who were scurrying around.
Yue Tuo's army has 5,000 Bayala soldiers, all of whom are the most elite warriors among the captives, and these people have just been drawn out in the battle against Lu Xiang's ascension to heaven, but now they are being transferred by the main general to stabilize the Chinese army's battle line.
However, at this time, the crossbowmen on Liu Ximing's side were already in place, and thousands of arrows roared in, planting a small forest of arrow rain in the wilderness.
There were constantly armored captives being brought to the ground, and the sound of miserable howls and cries of pain was endless.
Yue Tuo reacted at this time, and hurriedly dispatched the crossbowmen to step forward to suppress them.
Liu Ximing held a telescope and observed the movement of the front in the rear of the Chinese army, and when he saw that the dust of the Chinese army was rising, and many soldiers with strong bows were moving towards the front line, he immediately ordered the guards to raise the order flag and summon the crossbowmen led by Zhou Yuji to retreat.
Behind the crossbowmen, there were eight three-inch guns of the Long Xiang Division.
Before the crossbowmen could gain a firm foothold, the sound of "boom", "boom", "boom" and "boom" artillery fire rang out.
Because it was only a mile away from Jianyu, the artillery used flowering shells.
The explosion sound of "bang" and "bang" continued to sound above Jianyu's head, and one by one the barbarian heads with money rat tails were inserted into the iron and steel pillars produced by various explosions, and on the battlefield, a strange beauty bloomed instantly.
"Charge"
Yue Tuo's eyes were already bloodshot, how could he bear it when he saw hundreds of Jianzhou warriors fall in a pool of blood before they could fight.
At this time, he didn't care about the battlefields on the left and right flanks, and as soon as the flag waved, the 10,000 troops of the Chinese army would take advantage of the chaos to cover up.
Liu Ximing smiled slightly, waved his hand and signaled the musket department of the Long Xiang Division to prepare, while the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion lined up after the Long Xiang Division to prepare for the second attack.
"The first battle is fierce, even Yusi", Huang Zonghui, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, couldn't help but sigh.
After two rounds of attack, seeing that Jianyu was only more than 600 steps away from his side, the artillery unit led by Zheng Jingcai immediately began to move its position in an orderly manner.
As soon as the roar above his head disappeared, Jian Yu became more energetic, and the Baya soldiers in front of him smirked and strode forward.
"Bang", "Bang"
The sound of the Dragon's firearms rang out at about eighty paces, and the bullets that had been changed to sharp heads slashed through the front of Jianlu like meteors, taking the lives of seven or eight hundred Jianyu soldiers.
Seeing that Long Xiang's division began to retreat on both sides of the detour after two rounds, Jiang Deshen couldn't help but tighten the command knife in his hand, "Hold steady, listen to my orders before you are allowed to shoot." ”
"Steady"
Groups of junior officers, who served as guards, kept repeating the commands.
Although the 4,000 soldiers of the Shenji Battalion are not elite, they are not recruits who have just been pulled out of the farmland, and after three months of training by Jiang Deshen and others, they can be regarded as decent on the battlefield.
Seeing that the charging Jianyu army had rushed to a distance of fifty paces, Jiang Deshen waved the command knife in his hand violently.
"First column, hit."
"Second column, hit."
"Bang", "Bang"
The Shenji Battalion had 4,000 soldiers, and was divided into four columns by Jiang Deshen and others, the first and second columns were armed with firearms such as bird guns and three-eyed guns of the Ming army, and the third and fourth columns were dressed as sword and shield bearers, and were responsible for throwing grenades.
Hit by two thousand firearms in turn, Jianyu's Bingfeng shrank again.
However, there were also many soldiers in the Shenji Battalion who were injured by firearms such as bird guns that suddenly exploded, and the battlefield looked a little chaotic.
The firearms of the Ming army were not as sophisticated as the Liu family's Longxiang II style, and because of the officials' deductions, there was a great chance that these weapons would explode.
This is the result of Liu Ximing spending a lot of money to select it.
"Ignite, throw grenades."
Jiang Deshen's roar sounded, and a group of soldiers of the Shenji Battalion trembled and lit the bomb in their hands, and suddenly threw it towards Jianyu.
But there were still many soldiers who either threw the bomb without igniting it, or slipped their hands and dropped the grenade directly in their own line.
"Boom" and "boom" explosions continued to sound on the entire front, and there were not only the ghosts crying wolves of the Jianjiao, but also the miserable cries of the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion themselves.
Jiang Deshen jumped to his feet and scolded his mother, and the battlefield became a pot of porridge.
"Kill", fortunately, the two thousand crossbowmen led by Zhou Yuji have completed the change of clothes, and with the cooperation of Zheng Jingcai's other two thousand dragon masters, they have covered up and killed together, and finally stabilized their position.
However, there are still more than 7,000 people in Jianyu, and the positive pressure is very huge.
"Send another 2,000 pikemen to the top", Liu Ximing frowned, and hurriedly dispatched troops to replenish, and now he only has 2,000 mobile troops in his hands.
"Wansheng"
The frontal battlefield was about to reach a stalemate, and on the left-wing battlefield, the shadow of a silver-robed general lifted Liu Xi's spirits for the whole army.
"Cao Dudu called."
"Wansheng"
Cao Bianjiao, who successfully broke through the left flank, led more than 4,000 cavalry and did not directly attack the infantry army in front of Liu Ximing, but bypassed them and pounced directly at Yue Tuo in the rear of the Chinese army.
Because of the pressure of the whole army, Yue Tuobian was only protected by hundreds of personal guards, and Cao Bianjiao's battlefield awareness was so keen, and thousands of cavalry were coming in an instant.
"Belle, get out of here", a few of the coated minions cried out to pull Yue Tuo.
"It's too late", looking at Shao Derong's department who came around from behind, and then at Cao Bianjiao in front of him, Yue Tuo sighed and pulled out his sword.
"Follow me to kill the Han dog, and the warriors of Jianzhou are not allowed to be defeated."
"Roar"
Cao Bianjiao rode a thousand, and saw a general wearing red trimmed armor and a pointed iron helmet rushing out of the Jianyu Chinese army, and knew that this person should be the chief general of Jianyu.
He lightly clamped the horse, and one immediately hunched over the long sword that Yue Tuo swung over, and his backhand was a sword, which pierced through Yue Tuo's back.
"Ahh
Yue Tuo screamed and immediately fell off his horse.
"The Lord of the Builders is dead, kill!"
The roaring Ming cavalry instantly submerged Yue Tuo and his hundreds of personal guards, and with the fall of Yue Tuo's main banner, there was no suspense on the entire battlefield.
