Chapter 241: The artillery bombarded the infantry, and the infantry charged the cavalry.
The screams of both sides in various languages continued one after another, and the sound of piercing into the flesh was incessant. In this small space, stabbing each other with spears leaves no room to dodge at all, and there seems to be no other choice than to stab the other party to death. If Jiannu retreats, he will face the punishment of killing his head and capturing the flag by military law, while the Nanzhong Army will not be able to retreat from the battle, and he will also face the punishment of seizing land and expelling him! From the moment they landed, these soldiers cherished their lives extraordinarily, and only after comparing did they know how happy their lives were, in order not to lose this happy life, there was no other way out, stabbing each other to death!
The narrow space gave the armor pikemen on both sides the same, and no matter whose spear stabbed at them, there was no armor at all to block the armor-piercing spear on the opposite side. Moments after the two sides engaged in a brutal stabbing fight, the spearmen in the front row fell in large swaths, and the dead and wounded soon covered the floor of the trench.
"Pikemen, up!"
The pikemen of the Nanzhong Army consciously replenished, stood in the vacant position, and stabbed with the Jiannu heavy armor soldiers on the opposite side, and gradually the advantage of the Nanzhong Army became more and more obvious: the heavy armor soldiers died and there was one less, and the rest faced more pikemen flank, once this advantage was formed, it was irreversible. Unless it is Jiannu who can put in enough troops at once. However, the narrow space is doomed, and this is the home of the South Central Army!
Seeing more and more dead corpses, the Qing soldiers began to feel frightened and hesitated, such a large casualty had never happened since entering the customs! And such a deadly battle is completely about whose spear commander. Whoever has a fast gun, who has more guns, the experience and fighting skills accumulated over the years are not used at all! In addition to thorns and thorns, it is extremely difficult to pull a cushion on the back before dying! Also, why are these Ming soldiers not afraid of death? Do you dare to fight so hard with us? It stands to reason that with such a brutal fight, those Ming troops should have collapsed a long time ago!
(You didn't follow the script!) οΌ
However, after all, the grass-roots officers of Jiannu, such as Apshiku and Qiangqiang, were promoted on the battlefield for many years, and they have an extremely strong ability to grasp the situation and timing of the battlefield. Finding that the situation was temporarily unfavorable to him, the two still alive Fendeshku immediately raised their spears and organized the remaining heavy armor soldiers to slowly retreat. A defensive line was established between the second trench and the first earthen wall.
Immediately. Castling of home and guest, easy to attack and defend!
"Good! These two minions are good! β
Jialazhang Jingtolun, who was watching the battle not far away, saw the two banners of the two people who had been assigned to the Shoku fluttering in front of the first earthen wall, and the heavily armored pikemen around him gathered more and more. Relying on the earthen walls, trenches and other fortifications established by the Southern Chinese Army. A layer of guns has been achieved. The tactics of the Nanzhong Army used to kill and injure a large number of heavily armored soldiers were immediately copied, and they were ready to return the favor to the other in their own way.
The pikemen of the Nanzhong Army did not pursue, and the two sides confronted each other across a trench. Inside the trench. The blood of the dead and wounded flowed silently, forming a pool of blood.
"Blow the trumpet! Bring two more Niu Lu people up! β
Seeing that the warriors of his subordinates, after paying a heavy price, occupied a defensive line in the enemy's camp and entered into a stalemate with the enemy, at this time, it depends on who has more soldiers. Of course, Lord ToruΕ and Lord Bucher could not afford to let go of such an opportunity. (The hand has already touched the lid of the cash box, and it will be opened with a little force, so of course you can't be discouraged at this time!) οΌ
"Blow the trumpet! With a cannon! β
Seeing that hundreds of people rushed behind the Tartar position, when they impulsed the first outer trench, they opened their bows and shot arrows, and shot fiercely at their pikemen. It's time to use artillery!
A sharp trumpet sounded, and immediately the whole army shouted in unison, and the pikemen were about to jump down the trench and charge forward, and the Tartar heavy armor soldiers on the opposite side immediately raised their spears flat, ready to use their guns, ready to give these damn Ming dogs a little bit of power, let them know who is the real warrior!
After a burst of shouts, the pikemen of the Nanzhong Army did not rush over, but quickly assembled under the leadership of the first commander and the captain, and gave way to the passage behind them!
One of the sharp-eyed people of the Dashku saw that several gunners on the passage were grinning and fiddling with a cannon, and he couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, "Bitter! β
When almost all the heavy armor soldiers noticed that there were cannons in front of them and to the left and right, all the gunners shouted with all their strength: "Fire!" β
Immediately afterwards, the pikemen repeated in a louder voice: "Fire!" β
An earth-shattering artillery salvo sounded, and the earth trembled with a huge wave of sound, and eighteen large Buddha machines and twelve six-pounder guns used shotguns! Large expanses of white gunpowder smoke rose above the artillery of the Nanzhong Army, and a dense rain of bullets composed of countless shotguns rushed towards the Qing soldiers in front of the earthen wall, and the dust raised by the second earthen wall by the bullet rain turned into a piece of smoke stained red by blood and minced meat! In front of the earthen wall, like the wind blowing wheat waves, the heavy armor of the Qing army fell a large piece, and everyone was covered with flesh and blood, full of dense blood holes. No matter how many layers of armor they wore and how many years of glorious battlefield fighting experience they had, they all turned pale in the face of gunpowder and steel!
The best range of the shotgun of the Big Franc is about 100 paces, and the six-pounder gun is higher. The distance between the two earthen walls was only more than 120 paces, and the firing distance of the artillery placed along the second earthen wall was only 100 paces, which was within the optimal firing range! After penetrating the human body, the shrapnel crossed the earthen wall and rushed towards the two bull rolling in the form of a new force army!
In this more than 100-step venue, it became a huge Shura slaughterhouse in the blink of an eye.
In the back, there were two Niu Lu of Mongolia with red flags, these people were originally few armored soldiers, and, for many years, the spirit of battle, the degeneration of technology can make Temujin and his descendants jump out of the cemetery to teach this group of unscrupulous descendants, seeing the cannons on the opposite side, those elite heavy armor soldiers have been beaten into a sieve, and those who rushed in front of their own team were also hit by cannons flying from nowhere. In the blink of an eye, a man as sturdy as Lele's chariot went to see the Buddha, and they couldn't help but shout wildly, turn around and run.
"Kill!"
Even more surprising and infuriating things followed.
As the exhilarating trumpets sounded again, countless pikemen, swordsmen and shields rushed through the trenches and out of the breastwork along the temporary passage made of planks by the auxiliaries, slashing and slashing the Tartars who were running forward desperately with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
"Lord ToruΕ! Lord ToruΕ! I'm afraid I won't be able to stand it! β
The Mongolian Gela Zhangjing Buhe with the red flag saw that the soldiers in his Alaja were crying and being killed from behind the earthen wall like a flock of sheep, and people were constantly stabbed to the ground with spears, and then they were cut off by the sword and shield soldiers who immediately caught up, and their lives were ended.
"Which general is under this army? So tough and daring? β
The officials at the head of the city didn't care about the clammy and cold in their crotch. I couldn't help but be amazed. Thinking about it, if you can drive the thieves out of the camp, this battle can be fought, and the thieves and slaves will not be able to attack the city.
"Master. Shall we go out of the city and kill for a while? Also cheering for the soldiers outside the city? β
The garrison of the city asked the lord to send troops to kill the enemy. He came back with the cutting off of a few Jiannu heads to make meritorious contributions.
"You ignorant horseman! Didn't you see that Jiannu was fighting with the official army?! Once you're out. The thieves and slaves took the opportunity to rush into the city, what crime should you be guilty of?! β
The guard was speechless when he was reprimanded, so he had to bow his head and continue to watch the battle.
Outside the camp. Jiannu's two Jialazhangjing were about to prepare to give an order, each ox recorded the wounded, cleaned up the dead, retreated first, went back to tell the banner lord and the prince Baylor, and then the soldiers came to take revenge, but they saw a group of Nanban infantry rushing out of the camp, quickly lined up, and raised the spear in his hand diagonally upward.
"Good! These Nikans who don't know whether they are alive or dead! "Tolun Zhangjing was overjoyed, before the Nanzhong Army relied on fortifications to kill and injure a large number of his subordinates, he was helpless for a while, but you still dare to come out to fight with my Qing soldiers? Don't you know that my favorite thing for the Qing soldiers is to fight with your Ming army?!
He and Bukhgyala Kyojing saw the smug smile on each other's faces, which looked extremely strange and hideous on their faces full of horizontal flesh.
"Dismount!"
As soon as the order was given, the two Jiala, who were originally panicked and ready to turn around and flee, immediately regained their fighting spirit. The remnants of the heavy armor soldiers and armored vests lined up in front, and behind them were those Yu Ding and Kha men who were holding swords and spears and wearing uninlaid iron cotton armor.
"Baturu, since these Nikans in front of us have come out to fight our army in the field, then we will break the enemy in the field, and rush into their camp with all our might!"
In the midst of a wild shout, the soldiers of the Southern Central Army finished their formation in silence.
If Yu Ding in the White Flag Bull Record was still there, he could see at a glance that the formation of the Nanzhong Army was no different from the one that had dealt with them before.
The same three columns of musketeers are in the center, pikemen are guarded on both flanks, and the outermost layer is the sword and shield men.
Behind the formation, in the camp, the auxiliaries were leading the people who were marked with red cloth bands on their heads and left arms to nervously clean the corpses in the trenches and on the earthen walls, carrying away their wounded and dead.
With the cover of the front brigade, the people quickly cleaned up the battlefield, picked up the weapons and flags of the Qing army scattered on the ground, and stripped off the armor on the dead corpses. There are those who have the audacity to swing their knives and axes to cut off the heads on the corpses, venting their hatred of being captive and humiliated.
The corpses of the Qing soldiers scattered in the trenches were better, most of them were stabbed to death by spears, and the bodies were relatively intact. However, many of the Qing soldiers on the communication path next to the earthen wall and the trench did not have the blessing of leaving their whole corpses, and their bodies were shattered by the dense fireload of shotguns, and even the heads with iron helmets were smashed to the ground.
Faced with a pile of flesh and blood parts, from time to time, a man knelt in the pile of corpses and retched loudly, but he couldn't spit out anything. The auxiliaries and the leaders of the people next to them kept shouting. Urge everyone to be neat with their hands and feet, and prepare to eat after finishing their work, and have large pieces of meat for everyone to eat as they please.
However, the unpleasant smell of blood, mixed with the smell of bodily fluids, the strong and pungent smell of gunsmoke in the air had not completely dissipated, and the eyes were full of human internal organs and black-red bloodstains. There are thighs, calves, palms, arms and things like that scattered everywhere. Bodily fluids mixed with blood and mud on the ground, slippery and muddy.
I could hear large pieces of meat being eaten casually, and the sound of vomiting came one after another.
"My lord, the infantry and auxiliary brothers have gone up, and we cavalry are left here, won't people laugh at us and wait?
Huang Yishan, the battalion officer of the horse team battalion, led his grass yellow horse with a spear in his hand, and the flag of the horse team battalion officer was inserted behind his back. Whispered to the defenders to fight.
At this time. Only five hundred gunners and six hundred cavalrymen remained in the battalion, plus less than a hundred auxiliaries and men, and the rest acted as infantry to the front of the battalion.
"Panic what!"
Shouhan looked back and looked at the six hundred horsemen who had almost half of the camp along the embankment. Everyone was dressed in helmets and armor, and the captains held spears with pennants in their hands. Ordinary riders each have a knife in their hand. Waiting there with a war horse.
"But. Even the auxiliaries borrowed our spears and went into battle, so they let us serve as guards in the camp, this. It's a bit shameless! β
Shouhan looked ahead, Wang Bao's recognition flag fluttered in the middle of the queue, "You choose five hundred people, divide them into two teams on the left and right, and stand by in the camp gates on both sides, and see that Wang Commander has three rounds of fire salvos, and the pikemen and sword and shield soldiers will fight for a while and then kill from both wings!" β
"Remember, except for the officer who is the commander of the flag, the rest of the people are not allowed to use spears! Let's use our sabers to fight the Tartar cavalry! β
Hearing this, Huang Yishan immediately thanked Tang Chang, the captain of the scout, to select people, and led the horses to stand by in line in the camp gates on both sides.
Lord Torun couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw the formation of the Southern Central Army.
There are only three rows of musketeers in the middle, pikemen and sword and shield soldiers on the two wings, there are no cavalry guards on the flanks, and the magic weapon cannons they rely on to survive and save their lives do not appear in the array, what are you afraid of?!
"Steady! Wait for the group of bright dogs in front of us to slack off, and then we will rush forward! β
He turned his face to the Buhejia Lazhangjing, who was riding beside him.
The two armies looked at each other silently from a distance of one hundred and fifty paces.
After a while, a horn was raised from the ranks of the Southern Central Army, and the troops of the Southern Central Army began to move forward slowly.
"If you don't move, then I'll come!"
In the whistle of the officers, whether it is a musketeer or a spearman, a sword and shield soldier, they are all slowly moving forward with uniform steps. Dozens of walkers had already made the Jiannu archers in front of them feel unprecedented pressure, which they had never felt when they faced the onslaught of the Chahar cavalry like a sea tide.
Some archers began to tremble, and they couldn't help but pull their bows and shoot an arrow forward fiercely to hide the fear in their hearts.
The Nanzhong army advanced dozens of steps, and saw that it had reached the distance where the bows and muskets of both sides could exert their power, and the commanders of both sides gave the same order.
"Ready!"
Wang Bao was ready to let the Tartars in front of him taste the taste of Xu Jin's shooting.
"Ready!"
The archers in the front line opened their bows and arrows together, ready to wash away their shame with a rain of arrows, so that the other party's group of Nikans could taste the power of the Qing soldiers!
"Fire!"
Within fifty paces, the power of the firebolt was enough for those archers with only one layer of iron-clad armor! Three hundred firing guns were fired in unison, and the dense projectiles swept almost all the archers standing in the front row to the ground. Dozens of archers released the bowstring in their hands at the moment they fell to the ground, and the arrows of the bowstring flew out crookedly, and they fell to the ground weakly after flying no more than 20 steps.
The archers in the back row released their arrows at the same time, hundreds of arrows flew over a short fifty paces, and dozens of firecrackers let out a muffled snort and fell to the ground, but, thanks to the blessing of high-quality armor, most of them were shot in the limbs, and occasionally a few were shot in the face and throat, struggling on the ground a few times, and seeing that they were powerless.
The musketeers in the rear bypassed the wounded and continued to shoot forward.
"The lord is right, Jiannu is really a strong enemy! Such a dense blow, such a large number of casualties, and can still cause such a large number of casualties to our army, although the number of casualties will not be too many, but if it is replaced by those officers and soldiers who do not have many people with armor, I am afraid that they will collapse long ago! β
Wang Bao urged the troops to move forward in the formation, and watched the auxiliary soldiers lead the people to carry the wounded soldiers down, and his heart was awe-inspiring.
He is better, but he has a clear understanding of Jiannu's combat effectiveness, while Tolun Zhangjing and Buhe Zhangjing on the opposite side are already crying without tears.
Two rounds of firearm firing made more than half of the archers suffer casualties, and the Nanzhong army on the opposite side pressed over like a mountain, and those Yu Ding and Baoyi Aha didn't dare to come forward to rescue the wounded, not only did they not dare to step forward, but there was also a commotion in the rear team, if it weren't for those white-armored soldiers in the rear team, I am afraid that they would have dispersed a long time ago.
"We are two Jiala, with nearly 3,000 soldiers and armored people, plus Yu Ding and Baoyi Ahha, no less than 5,000 of them, today, are we going to be defeated today?!"
Torun Zhangjing kept repeating these words in his heart.
Buhe Zhangjing on the side, the war horse under his crotch was a little out of control, and he couldn't stop snorting, and there was a commotion, Buhe was trying to control the war horse, and at the same time asked the actual Shangguan Torun Zhangjing in horror: "What should I do?" What to do?! β
"Panic what! The whole army rushes forward! Fight them! This group of southern barbarians is just a sharper firearm, as long as I rush forward and mix with him, his firearms will be useless, and there will be no armor left behind by our army! As long as you kill these firecrackers, the Southern Barbarians will collapse! (To be continued......)
