Chapter 126: Take the initiative to attack

Under the cover of darkness and mountains and forests, Hu Zhuang's team calmly retreated, and the two pursuing Ming troops, after chasing into the mountains and forests for a distance, could not distinguish the location of Hu Zhuang's team, so they could only give up the pursuit and return to the Ming army camp.

"Stop me, there will be no forgiveness for trespassers!"

Burst!

Several Ming soldiers who fled from the right camp into the middle camp and still ran around to bring chaos to the middle camp were killed by the officer, at this time only blood and death can calm down the chaotic crowd, if it can't be quiet, then the final result will only be like the Ming army led by Hu Zhuang in the last night attack, directly bombing the camp.

Seeing that his colleague was killed by the officer, the other Ming soldiers gradually calmed down, before only the right battalion suffered a night attack, not the entire Ming army camp suffered a night attack, and now the night attack of the people's army has retreated, and the chaos in the Ming army camp simply cannot last long.

"Alas, hurry up and heal the wounded." Cao Yun sighed and ordered.

Cao Yun has always been on guard against the enemy's night attack, not only sent a large number of spies to monitor the enemy's military camp, but also had patrols everywhere in his own military camp to patrol constantly, left and right to guard, but the night attack still happened, only a small group of enemy night attack, but brought chaos and a lot of casualties to the army.

Suddenly, Cao Yun felt that this battle was difficult to fight, and he no longer had the confidence to defeat the enemy easily.

When it was almost dawn, Hu Zhuang's team finally returned to the camp, and when they went, in order to prevent being discovered by the Ming army spies, Hu Zhuang's team went around in a big circle, and when they came back, they didn't need to worry about being discovered by the Ming army spies and directly picked a shortcut to return.

After returning to the barracks, Hu Zhuang immediately asked the soldiers to go back to rest, and it was expected that there would be a battle with the Ming army during the day, and it would be the People's Army that would take the initiative to attack the Ming army.

As the sky gradually brightened, the tragic situation of the right battalion of the Ming army appeared in front of all the Ming soldiers and officers.

A right battalion of 2,000 people, after a night attack, less than 1,000 people were intact.

More than 1,000 people, most of whom were hit by KPA lead bullets during the night attack, and even those who were still alive were no longer able to participate in the rest of the battle.

The remaining small half of the people either killed each other in the chaos, or ran to other battalions in the confusion, and were beheaded by the officers to deter others.

The army of 10,000 people, now there are only 9,000 people left, and affected by the night attack, the morale of the entire Ming army has plummeted, and in the place where others can't see, Cao Yun has a sad face, he doesn't know if these soldiers and horses under his command can still beat the enemy on the opposite side.

"Withdrawing troops?" A thought flashed through Cao Yun's mind, Cao Yun wanted to withdraw his troops, but he couldn't make this decision easily.

The 60,000-strong army suppressed the thieves, and the other roads were successfully solved by the enemy, and he lost a thousand people along the way, and withdrew his troops without bringing many casualties to the thieves, Cao Yun was already able to think of his own ending after the incident.

Not only is it reactive, but there are also mistakes, and the demotion is light.

"What should I do?" Cao Yun sighed.

You can't retreat, you can't attack, you can only stay where you are, wait for your morale to recover, and then see what the enemy is doing.

Soon, half a morning passed, and the firearms units of the People's Army participating in the night attack were almost resting, and Hu Zhuang immediately led the People's Army to attack the location of the Ming army.

The Ming army spies who monitored the People's Army quickly returned with intelligence, the enemy was coming, the Ming army could not retreat, at least not now, under Cao Yun's order, the Ming army quickly assembled and prepared to meet the incoming People's Army.

"Fire!"

On the chariot, at a distance of more than 500 meters, the tiger head guns and artillery of the People's Army firearms unit poured ammunition at the Ming artillery position.

The artillery of the Ming army, who was still waiting for the People's Army to advance some distance and then open fire, was directly defeated, suffered heavy casualties, and screamed on the position.

Seeing the tragic scene of the artillery position, Cao Yun was so shocked that he was speechless, he finally understood, understood how sharp the thief's firearms were, and the firearms could kill people from such a distance!

The artillery positions were damaged, but it did not affect the Ming infantry to continue to advance, 500 meters, 450 meters, 400 meters, 350 meters, 300 meters, the distance between the two armies is getting closer and closer.

In the case of the damage to the artillery position, Cao Yun did not order the army to retreat, but hoped that the infantry could fight with the enemy in close combat, defeat the enemy, even if the enemy could not be defeated, but also kill some enemies.

When the two armies were less than 200 meters apart, the People's Army's firearms unit, which had almost destroyed the Ming army's artillery position, immediately shifted its target and poured ammunition on the advancing Ming infantry.

At the same time, the two wings of the firearms unit, with the soldiers who first ascended the camp as the vanguard, and the cold weapons unit was ready to charge.

Rounds of lead bullets and solid shells were fired, knocking down rows of Ming troops, and the battlefield was already full of blood.

Seeing so many colleagues dead, many Ming soldiers wanted to escape, and even some more timid officers had stopped and did not dare to continue forward.

"Don't get on, let's run, the enemy's firearms are too powerful."

"Damn, those who are officials are hiding behind, let us go forward and die."

"Run, we can't beat the thief, we will lose this battle, if we don't run, we will die."

Under the continuous attack of the firearms units of the People's Army, the front of the Ming army did not have much morale, and now so many people fell on the battlefield, and the last morale was scattered, and suddenly the front of the Ming Army was completely chaotic, and the soldiers scattered and fled, wanting to escape for their lives under the firearms attack of the People's Army.

"Charge!" Seeing the change in the front of the Ming army, Hu Zhuang immediately gave the order to charge.

When the drums of the charge sounded, the cold weapons unit of the People's Army quickly rushed out from the two wings of the firearms unit and rushed towards the almost chaotic Ming army array in front.

"Kill! Kill! ”

The shouts of the People's Army roared in, and when they saw the People's Army pursuing from the rear, the Ming soldiers ran faster.

The front of the Ming army was the main target of the People's Army, and the middle formation was relatively stable, but under the influence of the Ming soldiers who fled backwards in the front formation, the middle formation also became chaotic.

"Don't mess up, don't mess up, the thief is just a mud leg that just put down the farm tool, we will definitely be able to defeat the thief!"

Cao Yun personally shouted to stop the soldiers from escaping, but found that his efforts were useless, even if the guards and officers drew their knives and killed several of the fleeing soldiers, they still could not prevent more soldiers from escaping.

The chaos has spread from the front to the center, and then to the whole army.

"Withdraw!" There was no hope of returning to the sky, and Cao Yun angrily gave the order to retreat.

The gong sounded, and the Ming soldiers who were still hesitant on the battlefield turned around and fled, and the Ming soldiers who were already fleeing were more relieved and boldly ran back.
