Chapter 603: The Great War (3)

The Dongfan soldiers broke through the six large formations laid by the Qing army and advanced the attack momentum to the edge of the Qing army's main formation. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Such an offensive momentum like chopping melons and vegetables suddenly made the warring sides and the Dashun army peeping in the distance very emotional!

"The five or six brigades of the left flank, the seventh and ninth brigades of the right flank, follow up quickly! Now that the opening has been opened, tear it completely! ”

In his own large array, Li Huayu ordered the staff office around him to draw up a combat order, and quickly sent it by the heralds to the troops on the left and right wings!

At this time, the ancestors of that Corsican dwarf did not yet know how to wander there. However, military theory and military thinking are the same. After concentrating firepower and forces on the enemy's front and opening a breakthrough, all that remains is how to divide and encircle the enemy army.

"Order the artillery team, extend the shooting, and bombard Cao Zhenyan's main formation!"

In front of the east is a white scarf of the east soldier is not afraid of artillery fire, braving the cannon flying all over the sky like crazy pounced, the spur in his hand flashed with cold light, so frightened that Cao Zhenyan's spear bearer legs trembled, the back of a strong cold air, early winter weather, everyone is sweat soaked underwear.

There were no more and more soldiers throwing grenades forward in the charging ranks. These bombardiers are also selected, and they are all people with long and powerful arms. Each ponytail grenade in their hands, coupled with the acceleration of picking up the horsetail, each grenade can easily be thrown at a distance of eighty or ninety meters. This standard, not to mention the training standard for officers and soldiers aged 20 to 24 in the current Baodao Army: The passing standard for sit-ups is 41 times for men and 31 times for women, 39 times for men and 21 times for women, and 14 minutes and 35 seconds for men and 17 minutes and 35 seconds for women in the 3000-meter run. Even in the mainland People's Liberation Army, it is possible to make meritorious contributions. Of course, the Baodao army will naturally not be as barbaric and rude as the PLA, people rely on high-tech talents to build the army, and the most important thing is to retain talents and value the inheritance of their experience and wisdom. It is also very democratic to emphasize that the physical examination is not to test the officers and men, but to make the officers and men willing to accept training.

Looking at the overwhelming white turbans in front of him and the red flags pouring in like a tide on the left and right wings, Cao Zhenyan wanted to cry without tears. He grabbed a few drama directors and shuangwen authors: "No, director, the script is wrong, right?!" Doesn't it mean that a salvo of firearms can kill a person, 100,000 devils can be killed by one person, and the charge is equal to death, why can't I withstand this group of barbarians?! ”

It's a joke. The unkind author is making jokes there again. Until the Boxer Rebellion, the tactics of the Eight-Nation Coalition were all bayonet assaults as a means of victory.

In the face of the frantic offensive of the Nanyue army, the Qing army led by Cao Zhenyan had to gradually retreat and retreat to several trenches built by relying on the river to hold on.

Because of the course of the river, these ditches are also built in a zigzag. Cao Zhenyan commanded his soldiers to hurriedly set up guns and small cannons in the crooked trenches. Prepare to meet the onslaught of the Nanyue army.

"If you can't hold it here, how can I have the face to see my master! can only commit suicide by throwing himself into the river to repay the master's promotion and reuse! ”

While directing his subordinates to place and carry guns, Cao Zhenyan muttered to himself.

"Lord Jueluo!" A new adjutant general under Cao Zhenyan hurriedly came to persuade him, "You can't be so contemptuous!" I still have hundreds of thousands of soldiers here in the Qing Dynasty! Right now, these barbarians are just succeeding for a while! Our army may not be able to lose by relying on the trenches! What's more, behind it is the master's camp, the trench and the wooden city, which is impregnable! ”

Cao Zhenyan is also familiar with this deputy general, this person's name is Guo Dingbei, and he was originally a general in the Beijing camp. The most good at drilling camps, though. When Li Zicheng entered Beijing, he took the lead in defecting and was promoted from a general to a deputy general. After the Battle of Shanhaiguan, he followed Wu Sangui, Duoduo and others into Beijing in Yutian County. Although he was not promoted, he made a fortune. The subordinates surrendered and rebelled along the way, and incorporated all kinds of stragglers, and there were actually more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, and thousands of mules and horses.

followed Hong Jingluo south to Henan, and was assigned to Cao Zhenyan and Cao Jueluo to listen to it, and he was a single-minded boss, and he also wanted to be noble in front of people, and earn the lintel of the new dynasty and the new upstart on the battlefield. Now at this time, in his opinion, it is a good opportunity to show his ability!

"Lord Jueluo, the last general will lead the troops out to resist this group of barbarians for a while, so that Lord Jueluo can organize and arrange defenses in the formation to gain some time to come out!" In Guo Dingbei's view, although these Dongfan soldiers and the garrison brigades on both wings on the opposite side are fierce, they rely on firearms to fight more, and most of his soldiers and horses are killer teams that use cold weapons, but they are good at fighting. As long as you show your face for a while, are you afraid that you can't become the second Cao Zhenyan, and you are also an identity like Jueluo?

Seeing Guo Dingbei's proactive performance, Cao Zhenyan grabbed his hand, and his eyes were full of tears: "Sure enough, it is a loyal minister who knows the strength of the grass country!" General Guo, since you are so loyal and brave, Bonjue Luo naturally can't stop you. You take people out to resist the barbarian soldiers and horses for a while, and the officer has finished arranging in the trenches, so he will go out to meet you with soldiers and horses! ”

"If this battle is won, this official will be promoted to the general, and you will be promoted to the rank of admiral, at least the title of an earl!"

What Guo Dingbei wanted was Cao Zhenyan's promise, when he led thousands of elites in his headquarters, roared out of the formation, and went away against the red and white waves.

"Fool! Think it's so easy to make meritorious service from Nanban?! Looking at the banner he was far away, Cao Zhenyan sneered, he is the one who has fought many times with the Nanyue Army, and he knows how powerful this group of ancestors is! Not only are the firearms sophisticated, but also good at bayonet assault, every time three or five people fight in formation, no matter how strong you are, you can't stand the cycle assault with three or five stabs.

"Quick! Rack guns! Cannons! Taking advantage of Guo Dingbei's attack on the battlefield, Cao Zhenyan organized a defense in the trench and did not mention it.

Liu Zongmin, who was in the west, simply dismounted, walked to a small hill, and raised the telescope in his hand to observe the changes in the battlefield situation in the east. Just now, several Baya soldiers with white flags, holding soju cooked meat with both hands, shouted in half-baked Chinese to the distance that the arrows of the Dashun army could not shoot: "My master asks General Liu, the commander of the battalion, to drink and eat meat, and watch this big drama together!" ”

Now that the Qing army has discovered his own snooping and is so generous, if Liu Zongmin takes another defensive move, he will inevitably be despised. He simply ordered someone to step forward to take the wine and meat, and said a few polite words to those Baya soldiers.

"Please Liu Ye, you don't have to be polite. My master is familiar with the Three Kingdoms, and every time he reads about the interaction between Lu Kang and Uncle Yang, he can't help but yearn for it. Today's encounter with Liu Ye is just a good time to emulate the sages and ancients, and it will also be a good story in the future. ”

These words were not said by Duoduo, but taught by Hong Chengchou to these people. In order to use words to hold Liu Zongmin. He knew that Liu Zongmin had always been bold and righteous, and he always took the lead on the battlefield, but he was a decisive general and never willing to play with intrigues and tricks. Hence this move.

"Donkey balls! Li Dagongzi's team is really difficult to deal with! Watching the red and white waves in the distance advancing rapidly, Rao is Liu Zongmin has also spent half his life on the battlefield, but he can't help but smack his tongue.

The white turbans of the Dongfan soldiers and the red battle flags of the garrison brigade have been mixed with Guo Dingbei's thousands of soldiers and horses, and the two sides have launched a tragic hand-to-hand fight!

"Kill Nikan!"

Guo Dingbei roared loudly, holding his own flag in one hand and a spear in the other. Guarded by dozens of his own personal soldiers, he formed a sharp formation with the hundreds of strongest soldiers and horses in his battalion, and swooped into the line of the Nanyue army, and behind him was the formation of his soldiers and horses slowly opening up to both sides.

The weapons flew up and down, the sound of heavy breathing and the sound of weapons colliding and roaring were intertwined, and the oncoming Dongfan soldiers were also roaring and rolling in the face of Guo Dingbei's offensive momentum.

Both sides were not afraid, and both had the courage to fight to the death.

In the blink of an eye, the two armies were entangled in one place. Before rushing into the Qing army, the Nanyue army habitually conducted a close-range shooting. The sound of firecrackers rang out like beans, and white smoke and fire burst out. At a distance of only a dozen or even less than ten steps, the hit rate and lethality are enormous. The garrison brigades on both sides, like the Dongfan soldiers, carried out this tactic of incomparable immorality, and the sound of guns kept ringing, and projectiles flew sideways in Guo Ding's northern formation. The few thousand generals around him didn't snort, and fell to the ground, Guo Dingbei also felt a few hot currents passing by both sides of his face, and he knew that it was a projectile flying by. However, thinking of the post-war high-ranking official Houlu, the title of the door row painting halberd, he gritted his teeth and continued to rush forward.

Guo Dingbei's own soldiers roared loudly, and they also threw a round of javelins and bones and other weapons at the Nanyue army team that rushed over on the opposite side, nailing some Dongfan soldiers to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, the two conveniences were mixed together. The black wings of the god of death instantly enveloped the battlefield, and the sound of the impact of weapons, as well as the sharp shouts of both sides, and the terrible howls became a symphony of death harvesting life.

Guo Dingbei held his flag in his left hand and a spear in his right hand, his legs tightly hugged the horse's belly, and his buttocks were slightly raised from the saddle to make it easier to exert force. He took aim at an oncoming leader of the Eastern Soldiers, who was short and stocky, with embroidered tattoos on his face and arms. Seeing him rushing towards him with a fire gun in a language he didn't understand, Guo Dingbei sneered, "Sure enough, it's a barbarian!" ”

Suddenly, the two sides were less than three or five steps apart, and they could clearly see each other's facial features and hideous expressions on their faces. At the moment when the spear in his hand stabbed out, Guo Dingbei saw the color of the team officer's uniform on the Dongfan soldier in front of him, "Hmph! It seems that he is also the right-hand man of the Li family! You're my military exploit! ”

The horse's head passed, and the blood splattered, and in an instant, the spurs of the Eastern Soldier officer slashed close to his arm, and a powerful force took the arm away, bringing out a blood mist. Guo Dingbei only felt that his arm contracted for a while, and he knew in his heart that he was afraid that a large piece of meat on his arm would be taken away.

The fine iron spear in Guo Dingbei's hand was also quickly stabbed. With the crimson color of the spear, with the momentum of the galloping horse, there was a muffled pop, and it pierced the breastplate of the Eastern Soldier officer! Guo Dingbei raised his front hand and pressed his back hand, relying on the strength of the war horse to provoke the body of this team officer, and then threw his body out by inertia and smashed into the team of Dongfan soldiers.

Although Guo Dingbei is full of fame and fortune to be promoted and make a fortune, after all, he has also been on the battlefield for many years, and this battlefield fighting skill is indeed extraordinary. He is outstanding in terms of battlefield experience and ability to watch the wind and fire. Otherwise, in this era of changing king's banner at the head of the city, not only can he protect his whole family, but he will also rise step by step.

However, Guo Dingbei was also in his heart, and he was ready to pull out his spear the moment he threw the body of the Eastern Soldier officer, but in the eyes of the Eastern Soldier Officer, he saw a decisive look of death with the enemy. He had come to the end of his life, and he subconsciously clung to the gun, so that Guo Dingbei could not withdraw the gun.

On the battlefield, there is only a line between life and death. Guo Dingbei couldn't be allowed to think too much, and a fire gun on the opposite side stabbed fiercely with the sound of the wind! Although he was on the horse, he could have a chance to dodge in space, but the spur was also a false shot, and it stabbed hard at his war horse's chest and abdomen. The truth of shooting people first and horses is also understood by these Dongfan soldiers who have not read Tang poems.

At the moment of life and death, Guo Dingbei spread his hands, discarded his spear, pulled out the long knife hanging on the saddle, and rolled to the side, his feet had already come out of the stirrups, he had to leave before the war horse fell to the ground, so as not to be crushed under the war horse and become the ghost of this group of southern barbarians.

The fire bolt stabbed into Guo Dingbei's crotch and the war horse, and a powerful blood arrow gushed out violently, splashing several people around him. The horse screamed and fell to one side.

Guo Dingbei's feet were not yet steady, and in the afterglow of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of another fire bolt stabbing at him fiercely, and there was a loud shout in his ears that he didn't know what language it was, thinking that it should be words like avenging his brother.

At the moment of lightning, Guo Dingbei had nowhere to dodge, so he had to close his eyes and secretly shouted, "Bitter!" But he only heard a gust of wind next to him, and a long knife waved, erecting the fire grid, but it was one of his own soldiers, waving a long-handled chopping saber and fighting with this eastern soldier.

He had just gained a footing under the support of several of his own soldiers, when a few dark shadows passed through the retina, but it was the grenadiers at the back of the queue who threw grenades at them.

A series of explosions sounded around Guo Dingbei, and the shamprapnel flying sideways in all directions instantly broke the armor of the soldiers around him, pierced the armor leaves, broke the cotton layer inside, and tore the chain mail lined inside, beating the entire body like a sieve, and bursts of blood rain sprayed out, staining his whole body as if he were a bloody person.

The eastern soldiers and several garrison brigades on the left and right flanks were thrown into the battlefield in waves, and each time they were replaced with new forces. The new forces that rushed up were first killed and wounded by the Qing soldiers at close range with firearms, and then stabbed forward with guns to fight hand-to-hand. The sound of popping beans rang in Guo Dingbei's ears.

A guerrilla on Guo Dingbei's right side, under the escort of his own soldiers, wielded the long knife in his hand, and was about to swing his knife at a soldier of the garrison brigade who rushed in. However, at this moment, his iron helmet, armor, heart goggles on his chest, and the war horse under his crotch all burst out with streams of bloody arrows. Before he could even let out a scream, he rolled off his horse.

As with this guerrilla, with the incessant sound of guns and grenade explosions, the officers of the Qing army, as well as the small teams that were about to line up and prepare to fight the Nanyue army, were all beaten to pieces. Officers continued to roll off their horses, with multiple stabs on their bodies, and large streams of blood poured out from the gaps in their armor. When they fell off their horses, they howled loudly in hoarse voices, cursing the enemy in front of them for adopting such rogue tactics.

The three sandwiches of the Nanyue Army on the front and the left and right flanks continued to strike, so that these Qing soldiers could not give full play to their martial arts.

"Good boy! Mr. Li really has a set! Liu Zongmin, who was in the distance, saw the situation on the battlefield clearly with the help of a telescope. In his experienced eyes, these soldiers of the Nanyue Army are basically scum in their personal skills, and they can at most play the role of infantry in the camp or the Dashun army. It is far inferior to the martial arts skills of those Qing troops. However, it is such a group of soldiers who can only use three or five assassination fighting skills to suppress the Qing army's counterattack team, which is far more numerous than their own, even if you have strong martial arts, you can't show them, and you retreat step by step.

"Master Liu, the Tartars are about to be unable to hold on, should we transfer our team up and give the Tartars a hard blow from the side?! It's good to show the evil spirit of Shanhaiguan at the beginning, so that they can also taste this taste?! Liu Zongmin's relatives were very excited to put forward their own suggestions to him.

Around him, Liu Zongmin's personal soldiers were also gearing up, and some of them had even begun to reorganize their horses and weapons, as soon as he opened his mouth, he would immediately return to the camp to mobilize people and horses.

"What's the panic?!" Liu Zongmin's thick eyebrows twitched a few times. To be honest, at this time, with the Dashun soldiers and horses into the battlefield with rapid movements, from the flank to the Tartars to stab, not only can avenge the revenge of Shanhaiguan that day, for themselves out of a bad breath, at the same time, can also be a big victory to welcome Li Zicheng who was pursued from Shanxi by the rank and tail of the Qing army, so that the Qing army Azig Department did not dare to be too arrogant.

However, the letter that Niu Jinxing wrote to him after Wu Xing led the people of the Qin Law Academy and hundreds of local officials to mutini and flee came back to his mind.

"At this time, helping the Nanyue Army to solve the Tartars, is it really good for me to Dashun?" A difficult question lingered in his mind. (To be continued.) )
