Chapter 195: Total Annihilation Massacre
It's the wildflower season now, and the banks of this river are full of colorful wildflowers, which is very beautiful.
However, at this time, because of the sudden violent explosion, the sand and dust that were lifted up spread everywhere, covering the gorgeous spring beauty.
After a while, the billowing dust and smoke dissipated, and the scene was clear again, presenting a tragic scene in front of everyone's eyes.
Of the 20,000 Tartars and 2,000 soldiers and horses of the Han army with blue flags, about 30% fell on the spot.
Most of them were hit by the sand and gravel thrown by the big explosion, or they were swept to the ground by the war horses under them, but no more than one percent of the soldiers were really killed and injured by the explosion.
However, those war horses have indeed gone completely crazy, with about one percent of the war horses already dead and injured and fallen to the ground, and the remaining ninety percent of about 50,000 war horses of various colors have started a riot!
They are all jumping up and down in all directions, running headlessly, but most of them are spinning in place, not knowing where to run, or they are still in a daze, and they have not regained their consciousness.
In the scene, one thing is exactly the same, that is: at this time, all the Tartar and traitor cavalry soldiers, more than ninety percent of them, were thrown off their horses, or dead or wounded, lying on the ground.
Although about seventy percent of the soldiers were only slightly injured, less than thirty percent were seriously injured or died on the spot.
But there is a little fatal situation, which is very disadvantageous for these Tartars and traitors who are still in a state of bewilderment.
That is, most of their current soldiers have temporarily become infantry, and now these war horses that are constantly neighing out of control will take at least a lot of time to recover to a state that can be ridden.
It's just that they don't have time to appease these war horses now.
Because at this time, a group of soldiers in black clothes and black armor had quickly flashed out of several dense forests on both sides of the river, and were running forward quickly, towards the scene of this tragedy.
Although they did not ride war horses, they were also infantry.
However, in a battlefield situation like this, infantry is definitely many times stronger than cavalry.
After all, although the banks of the river here are open and flat, they are all covered with sand and gravel, and the war horses cannot charge and gallop at all.
And the fact that this explosion had such a huge effect was also thanks to the dense ground covered with large and small sand and gravel here, which allowed the nearly 100 explosive packets to achieve such dazzling and terrifying results after exploding almost simultaneously.
The horses of the two cavalry brigades of the Blue Dragon Legion were plugged in their ears by the soldiers who had been prepared for a long time, and they were specially kept away from the battlefield, so that they would not be affected by this violent explosion at all.
This is also after the officers and men of each regiment are aware of the huge power of their own artillery, in order to prevent their own artillery from being careless, they will make an oolong-style crazy horse disaster.
This is a way for everyone to rack their brains and come up with a special solution, and order a large number of these simple earplugs from the Royal Armaments Department.
Now all the cavalry of the Ming New Army carry two pairs of earplugs, which can be used for themselves or their horses at any time.
After Lu Xiangsheng led 20,000 soldiers to this natural and excellent ambush site first, he immediately ordered a group of skilled explosives soldiers to go to the banks of the river to bury explosives bags.
The other soldiers immediately carefully chose a hiding place nearby, hid themselves and their horses, and did a good job of preventing a big explosion.
Lu Xiangsheng ordered the soldiers to make two kinds of combat preparations: one was to successfully follow the plan, detonate the explosive packet and ambush successfully, and then use the infantry battle formation to encircle and kill the enemy.
The other is that the Tartars discover their own ambush and must engage in a head-to-head battle between the two sides.
However, in either case, it is necessary to hide the traces of the 20,000 soldiers in a certain place in advance, so as to achieve the battlefield expectations of the first way as much as possible.
Fortunately, the previous Tartar scout squads, because of the time constraints and the rush to flee for their lives, did not discover the whereabouts of the soldiers who were well hidden in the dense forests on both sides of the river, and were able to perfectly achieve the purpose of the first battle mode.
"Repeater, try to shoot people and not horses! Ten rounds of salvo ready! ”
"Ready! Shoot! ”……
A general, who had already been arranged to lead the soldiers to attack, immediately ordered to launch a fire after quickly arriving within the range of the crossbow to kill the enemy, without giving the Tartars and traitors any time to react.
At this time, it is extremely important to seize the opportunity, not to mention being able to greatly reduce the casualties of your own side, but also to be able to crush the enemy before the enemy can counterattack.
Not to mention anything else, just a salvo of ten rounds of crossbows from the whole army, which is enough for these Tartars and traitors in front of them.
Not to mention that whether it is a repeater or a short gun, its range and attack speed can crush the attacks of Tartars and traitors in all aspects.
"Woo!"
"Woooooo ……
In the next moment, the officers and men of the two cavalry brigades, who had almost completely surrounded this battlefield, raised their crossbows in unison, aimed a little, and began to fire continuously under the orders of the officers of various generals and colonels.
The explosion that pierced the sky, low and piercing, and the deadly arrows flew out rapidly, instantly shooting at a famous Tartar and a hardcore traitor!
At this moment, some of the Tartars and traitor generals were actually stuck with dozens of arrows!
There is no way, who let them be officers and generals?
In this case, these well-armed generals were naturally the first to be targeted.
Therefore, the probability of being targeted by some soldiers at the same time will undoubtedly increase countless times.
In the first round of strikes, even a lot of arrows that were shot in the air have not yet landed, and the second wave of crossbow shooting has begun again!
The endless arrows, in this short period of time, actually filled the sky, and even the sun that was almost noon was blocked for most of it at this moment!
This piece of sky, in this short period of time, seemed to be covered by dark clouds, and became black and oppressive!
There is no way, ten rounds of crossbow salvos from 20,000 soldiers are issued at one time, and 200,000 sharp arrows are fired at a time, and two million crossbow arrows are fired at ten rounds!
And this situation lasted only a few minutes, and it is understandable that this kind of celestial change has occurred.
"Repeater! Harvest! ”
After the soldiers fired all the arrows in the crossbow arrow magazine, a famous general and colonel officer did not look at the situation on the battlefield at all, and immediately shouted, "Short gun, keep shooting!" Kill any enemy that's still panting! ”
Because the fighting will and combat effectiveness of the Tartars are not comparable to ordinary armies, in order to reduce the unnecessary casualties of the soldiers of the Ming New Army, we must hurry up and destroy the remaining enemies!
The current situation is not the time for mercy.
Because the enemies on the scene were either those extremely ferocious Tartar soldiers and generals, or those hardcore traitors who were desperate for the Tartars, the soldiers never thought of leaving any living in this battle.
Governor Lu Dadu has a good saying: Dead Tartars and hardcore traitors are the best Tartars and hardcore traitors.
There is nothing wrong with this, and it is very suitable for the hearts of the soldiers.
Lu Xiangsheng, who was standing on the bank of the Western River, now interpreted the true meaning of this sentence with practical actions: he had just finished firing the arrows of the repeater in his hand, and he casually put away the repeater and took out his +3 super short gun.
He raised his hand and looked at the group of Tartar generals who were still standing crookedly and alive about four or five hundred meters in front of him, raised the short gun flat, and pulled the trigger very calmly.
"Bang!"
"Bang bang!"
"Bang bang bang!"
A series of six shots hit the three people who had just stood up, Mang Gurtai, Kubilong, and Huang Chengyong!
This is to be on the safe side, and it is reassuring to have to punch their hearts through and blow their heads out at the same time.
Anyway, there are not many living Tartars and hardcore traitors on the scene, and it doesn't matter if three super bullets are wasted.
These three once famous, beautiful, and sinful enemy chiefs, after falling to the ground and dying, are still with their eyes wide open, losing their looks, and still looking up at the sky, not blinking their eyes!
They have too much money and beauties, and they haven't had time to enjoy them, and they haven't killed enough of those Han people, so they die so sadly, naturally before they die, they are extremely unwilling in their hearts.
Especially the banner owner of the Han army, Huang Chengyong, a hardcore traitor, who had escaped several disasters in a row before, and now he finally ran out of luck and died.
All his ambitions and dreams vanished at this moment.
There is no chance to start over.
This hardcore traitor who is full of evil, at this moment, finally has retribution, and he can be regarded as a well-deserved death.
Mang Gurtai is the same, his dream of the Great Khan has ended before it has even begun.
He was still imagining that he was looking for a suitable opportunity to pull the big fat man of Huang Taiji down from the sweat seat and sit on it himself.
Look at the feeling of being sweaty, isn't it refreshing??
However, a dream is a dream after all.
Now he doesn't need to dream anymore, he can't sleep for a long time, which is his destination.
