vs 25 The Scourge of the Elbow and Armpit (Chapter 25)
“…… Advance...... Kill the enemy...... tens of thousands of people repeated the words of the commander Shengwu Hou Wu Shengzhao, and the chariots in front began to attack the defensive line.
As the battle lines of the two armies got closer and closer, the battlefield became lively.
Strings of "Bolo rockets" flew from the Qing army, and the rockets also roared through the sky, and the sound of firearms and crossbow arrows sounded in a loud voice, not to mention crossbow arrows, as if they were about to cover the sky.
It's just that the defense line formed by the Qing army's use of chariots seems to be extremely flawed, and they do not have any other artillery except rockets.
"Tom...... In the shape of the chariot convoy of the "Tom ......" and "Shengwu Army," the sound of the Qing soldiers who had been terrified from last night to the present sounded the sound of "tiger squat cannons" firing one by one, which indicated that there would be "flowering bombs" in the near future.
"Boom...... Boom............ "The Qing army chariot was surrounded by explosions of fire, and the soldiers in the chariot could be better, if the chariot was lucky enough not to be hit, those fragments occasionally penetrated the armor and injured the people in the car.
The story of the infantry outside the vehicle was nothing like that, screaming and curling up among the flying debris. More of those who were hit fell to the ground in a whirlwind, their bodies twisting desperately in excruciating pain.
At that moment, more rockets rose up among the advancing chariots of the "Shengwu Army", dragging their long tail flames in the roar, and plunged headlong under the ground, bursting into bursts of exploding flames and columns of smoke mixed with dirt.
In terms of the use of artillery fire, neither the Qing army, the Ming army, nor any other army could reach the level of the "victorious army". A large number of officers who have received a serious education at the Shenzhou Military Academy use firestarters, and the most important feature is that they are secret, including the launch of rockets, which is completely the organization method of maintaining the most powerful firepower in a narrow area.
In just an instant, the battle line composed of 1,000 chariots and 20,000 soldiers of the Qing army was torn open. The chariots of the "Shengwu Army" were in charge, and the chariot teams lined up in an assault formation rushed into the Qing army's battle array from the gap. Massacre of Qing infantry that appeared near the chariot.
More soldiers of the Ming army wearing Fan Yangli held torches in one hand, and took out the "chain fire oil bomb" hanging under the ribs with the other hand and desperately greeted the chariot of the Qing army.
Although the Qing army's "Xiaofei Divine Crossbow" kept shooting crossbow arrows, it was too close. Not only was he also shot at the chariot, but he was already overwhelmed by the crossbow arrows, grenades, and shrapnel from the tiger squat cannon flying everywhere, plus the impact of these enthusiastic Ming soldiers.
The Qing army's 1,000 chariots formed a defensive line formed by overlapping formations soon showed signs of failure under the fierce impact of the "Shengwu Army" and the Ming soldiers.
Just one more wave, just one more wave of attack, and they're done! Almost everyone understands. The soldiers of the Ming army cheered and rushed forward after the chariot.
"Victory...... Victory...... Advance...... Forward ......" thousands and tens of thousands of people shouted in unison,
The huge cheers of tens of thousands of people pierced through time and space, like a heavy sledgehammer hitting Bolo's body, knocking him twice, shaking twice.
Now the siege battle is in full swing, there are still an unknown number of enemy troops hidden in the mountains in the west of Suzhou City on the side, and now there are enemy troops behind them, and the situation can be imagined.
"Send another 1,000 chariots and 20,000 infantry to turn back to resist the enemy!" Bolo screamed, his eyes fixed on the map in front of him.
Still kneeling on the ground, the horse seemed to be saying something, Bolo shook his head vigorously, mumbled and calmed down and asked, "What did you say?" ”
"General Hui, I waited for the scouts to meet the people who came out of Suzhou City, and he said that there were people in the city who were willing to surrender to Xiancheng......"
"What ......!" Bolo couldn't help but ask again, this is really a mountain and a river with no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village! I really like it.
"Where's the guy?" He thought to himself, "Such a person should be rewarded." ”
"Returning to the general's words, someone came to explain that as long as our army sends light cavalry and enters the city from the ** gate, it can easily seize Suzhou City. After the confession, he also told him to raise fire at the head of the city! I want my army to go there quickly. ”
"Hmm! Such...... Is it a trap! But such a great opportunity......"
If this is true, not only will the chariots fighting under the city now be free to deal with the incoming enemies from the flanks and behind, but the city will not need them anyway. And leaning on the fortified city in the north, even if there is anything wrong with the other enemy troops coming together in both directions, it is simply ...... Bolo was so excited that he didn't even know what to say.
“…… It's worth the risk! Of course, Bolo understands the current situation in his heart, the front behind him will not last long, and the enemy on the flank is obviously waiting for reinforcements from his own place, and they will pour out to form a situation of attacking from three sides. Then I'm afraid that my hundreds of thousands of troops will be reimbursed here.
"Pass my generals, 25,000 cavalry entered the city through the gate of the city that was sacrificed, and 1,000 chariots were on standby. After the cavalry in the city was taken and the west gate of Suzhou was taken, they attacked the enemy chariot troops on the west side of Suzhou from the side from this gate. All the rest of the chariots, all the horses and horses, will turn back with me to meet the enemy! ”
After that, he glanced around at all the generals and staff in the account and said in a deep voice: "Today's war is related to the luck of my Qing Dynasty in the next hundred years, and your colleagues and I will fight the enemy to the end together." ”
"I wish to live and die with the general!" The generals in the tent knelt on the ground.
From 12 o'clock last night to this meeting, the battle of the Qing army has lasted almost 18 hours. The loss of tanks has reached almost one-fifth, which means that more than 1,000 tanks have been destroyed and cannot be used for other reasons, and the attack power of the tank units has been greatly reduced.
Moreover, almost all the soldiers had never rested, and had almost reached the extreme point that a man could reach. However, at the moment they are under siege, and there are only two ways in front of them, either they will die in battle or be captured.
Although they were about to face the "Victorious Army", although they were tired from a long battle, in some critical situations, they were encouraged by the example of the great general Bolo, and they rekindled their hope.
All 3,000 chariots counterattacked against the chariots that Wu Shengzhao was attacking. Although there is no such good "lighting" equipment in the night battle, the chariots that burn up under the battlefield are like bright candles "lit" on the land south of the Yangtze River, illuminating the battlefield quite brightly.
Moreover, at this time, Bolo had already invested all the forces he could mobilize on this battlefield, including not only 3,000 chariots, but also nearly 50,000 cavalry, and it was a decisive battle. It was a decisive battle that decided the fate of the Lu Jianguo dynasty and the fate of the Qing court.
