Chapter 1472 Stop loss in time
Wanyan Agu sat on the back of the horse in a daze, everything in front of him made his mind buzz and he didn't know what to do. There was an explosion everywhere, black clouds everywhere, mud and sand falling into the sky, and flesh and blood flying, as if suddenly you were in a nightmare. His mind didn't react to what was going on for a while, and he was only stunned with his mouth half-open.
Not only him, but all the Jurchen soldiers were stunned in their minds, and they were completely speechless from what was happening in front of them. Many Jurchen soldiers thought that the scene in front of them was the punishment of the immortal heaven, the punishment of the heavenly thunder falling from the sky, and they knelt in a low voice with no face, praying and repenting in their mouths, hoping that the punishment of the heavenly thunder would not fall on them.
Li Guoqiu, as the commander of the heavy cavalry, was a member of the Iron Floating Slaughter every time he charged. He had taken the lead in the previous charges, but this time he had a heart and was in the middle of the group. said that it was to give a better order, but in fact, he was not 100% sure that this charge would be successful. After all, the other party has firearms, can the power of firearms be underestimated? Others may not care, but Li Guoqiu will definitely not care. He was a man who knew the power of firearms. The reason why he vigorously instigated Wanyan Agu to send Tiefutu to attack was that he wanted to annihilate this Luoyan army as soon as possible and capture the person named Lin Jue. He had already guessed that the identity of the person named Lin Jue was absolutely mysterious, he actually came up with a firearm, he had to get his hands on this person no matter what, at least he had to get his hands on the method of making firearms and gunpowder.
If the other party only has that kind of shotgun, there is still room for things. If the other side is allowed to continue, if other firearms appear, or if more advanced firearms are made, then it will be too late. Others don't know, but he, Li Guoqiu, knows what that means. If you don't have the ability to make a firearm, you can only snatch it from this person's hands. As long as Lin Jue dies, the only person in this world who can understand the power of firearms and the principles of their production is himself. This is exactly the powerful power that I have been striving for for ten years. This power can make him the master of this world, and he must not miss it.
It was out of awe of firearms and not knowing how far the opponent's firearms had developed, so Li Guoqiu cautiously chose to stay in the middle of the team this time. When the other party's shotgun firearm was fired, Li Guoqiu's heart hung in the air. When the Iron Float armor was unscathed, he almost jumped from his horse with joy, although he was wearing heavy armor and could not jump at all. His judgment was correct, and sure enough, the firearm could not move the iron float in the slightest. This means that the other party is finished.
However, when the other party threw an explosive object and an earth-shattering roar sounded in all directions, the blood on Li Guoqiu's body was cold. Of course he knew what it was, the other party had already created this kind of thing, and Tiefutu couldn't resist it at all. He immediately understood that this battle could not be fought, so he quickly gave the order to retreat, and took the lead in turning his horse's head and retreating. Fortunately, the formation of 4,000 people exceeded 150 paces, and the distance of the opponent's grenade throw was only within 50 steps.
Seeing Li Guoqiu leading part of the Tiefutu heavy cavalry to retreat back, Wanyan Aguda also woke up like a dream. Although he didn't know what kind of attack the other party used, he knew that he had to withdraw his troops immediately at this moment. Otherwise, it would be tantamount to attacking again
Seek perdition.
"Great Chief, please withdraw your troops immediately, withdraw your troops immediately." Li Guoqiu shouted hoarsely at Wanyan Agu.
"Retreat, retreat, retreat!" Wanyan Aguda came to his senses completely, waved his arms and shouted loudly.
……
The end of the war was hasty and sudden, like the affairs of a middle-aged man who was unable to do anything, and the battle was raging, but suddenly it died down. Countless Jurchen soldiers and horses fled in a hurry, like the tide receding, leaving corpses everywhere.
It has to be said that the retreat of the Jurchens was still extremely decisive. The first time, they made the right choice. Wanyan Aguda and Li Guoqiu clearly understood that the opponent's attack methods were not something they could bear, and if they didn't recognize the limelight and continued to attack, they were afraid that they would have to pay a more painful price, but they still couldn't achieve the goal of annihilating the opponent.
The roaring explosion of the powerful firearm was so shocking and terrifying, it was like a thunderbolt falling from the sky, which made people's souls fly away and their hearts were frightened. The Iron Float can't resist it, so what else can you use to resist? Therefore, a decisive withdrawal is actually the wisest choice. At least it can keep most of the soldiers and horses, and keep more than half of the heavy cavalry of Tiefutu. Obviously, it is impossible for the other party to pursue with all their might, because once they pursue, the Luoyan army will lose the advantage of a solid defensive line, and it will not be able to use the defense line to make the enemy and us distinct from each other to use firearms to kill people unscrupulously. The kind of thing that can explode when thrown in the crowd is obviously injurious and indistinguishable, and it is not suitable for use in a melee. Although Wanyan Aguda ordered a retreat, he was still very clear about this. Once the other party wants to take the opportunity to chase and kill and reap more benefits, General Wanyan Agu will immediately order a U-turn counterattack and engage in a big scuffle.
The Falling Goose Army apparently understood this, and they did not pursue it on a large scale. Only a few groups of cavalry rushed out of the circle and released arrows for a while, and after a symbolic gesture from a distance, Mingjin withdrew.
When it was all dark, the remnants of the Jurchen soldiers retreated into Chenliu County, took a breather, and made an inventory. This inventory doesn't matter, Wan Yan Agu magnificently smashed all the doors, windows, tables and chairs of the residence with a mace. Because today's loss is simply too great, so big that it is completely unacceptable for Wanyan Aguda. More than 50,000 of the 150,000 cavalry were killed and wounded, and tens of thousands of infantry were killed or wounded. The most painful thing for Wanyan Agu was that the Tiefutu cavalry lost 1,600 cavalry, and suffered its first complete defeat since the establishment of this heavy cavalry. And his Jurchen army was finally beaten in the head. They successively defeated and annihilated hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Great Zhou, but in the end, they were carried in front of the Luoyan army, which only had tens of thousands of people. If this property is not withdrawn in time, almost even the family will be lost.
After Yan Agu's atmosphere was furious, the generals were also pale and silent. Wanyan Agu scolded the heavens and scolded others, and finally aimed the spearhead at Lu Zhongtian's 50,000 soldiers and horses who were fighting together. The battle lasted for a whole day, and the 50,000 cavalry of the forbidden army sent by Lu Zhongtian to fight together did not even see a shadow, this is a deception, a complete deception. After hearing what Yan Aguda said, all the Jurchen soldiers also found punching bags and scapegoats, and scolded endlessly. Some gritted their teeth and demanded that someone be sent to negotiate with Lu Zhongtian immediately and ask the reason. And the responsibility for the defeat of this battle needs to be borne by Lu Zhongtian, and the loss needs to be borne by Lu Zhongtian.
However, at the time of the second watch, a message was transmitted back to the Jurchen camp in Chenliu County. It was about the 50,000 forbidden army led by Lu Zhongtian who was thrown into the wild goose at the ten-mile long post
News of the defeat of the 30,000 soldiers and horses of the army. According to the report, it was learned that the 50,000-strong cavalry of the forbidden army led by Chen Jue was planning to copy the back road of the Yan army. They wanted to capture the camp of the Luoyan Army in the ten-mile long hill, and burn all the grain, grass, materials and equipment in their camp, so as to help the frontal battlefield. They originally thought that the 100,000 troops of the Luoyan Army would go out to participate in the Battle of Qingshuixi, because there was no reason why they would not send all their troops and horses to fight against an enemy several times their size. At most, there were only a few thousand soldiers and horses left in the opposing camp. But they miscalculated, they had just crossed the Bianhe River to the north, and when they arrived at the wilderness on the south side of Shili Changgang, the opponent's 30,000 soldiers and horses seemed to be waiting for them there, and gave them a head-on blow.
The man who led the soldiers and horses was Guo Kun, the self-proclaimed little prince of the king of Bianliang. When he appeared on the battlefield, many of the soldiers of the forbidden army were actually empty-hearted. Not to mention the ferocity of the opponent's combat firepower, which is jaw-dropping. Chen Jue tried to charge with cavalry, but the opponent actually threw an unknown firearm on the battlefield, causing a violent explosion and causing heavy casualties to the cavalry of the forbidden army. In the end, after paying nearly 20,000 casualties, Chen Jue had no choice but to order the remaining soldiers and horses to flee while it was dark.
Hearing the news, Wanyan Agu was silent for a long time and sighed. In today's battle, the other side is obviously prepared and fully prepared. The other party only dispatched 70,000 soldiers and horses to fight a decisive battle with themselves, leaving 30,000 soldiers and horses to prevent Lu Zhongtian's sneak attack, they obviously expected this. And if you dare to use this mere 70,000 soldiers and horses to fight a decisive battle with yourself, you are also confident. From the change of formation to the final choice of bombardment with that furious firearm, it was all calculated. His brother-in-law had obviously already planned the direction of today's battle, and he was just cooperating with him step by step and getting into his trap.
……
The atmosphere in the camp of the Luoyan Army, which was backed by the terrace post, was jubilant. Guo Kun personally greeted the camp and met the triumph of Lin Jue and others. The soldiers shouted and celebrated the victory unscrupulously.
At the second watch, the big tent of the Chinese army under the Range Rover Tower was brightly lit, and a group of generals sat high and low in the tents, all with happy faces and irrepressible smiles. Before the war, I was worried about this battle, and now I am so happy after the victory. Before the war, many people were pessimistic and even prepared to die in battle, so the victory at this moment is even more joyful.
Everyone was enthusiastically discussing the situation of today's battle, happily describing the details of the battle, foaming at the mouth, and overflowing with excitement. When Lin Jue came out of the inner tent, all the generals stood up and saluted and applauded, and everyone's eyes were filled with admiration and reverence. They all knew in their hearts that the victory of the Luoyan Army today was not accidental, it was the result of Lin Jue's strict military discipline for many years, supervising training, developing firearms, and designing battle formations. Although his request has been questioned by many people, including the doubts and complaints of many generals present. In the boring long and hard training, many people have doubts. But today, they really understand that everything they have done before has not been in vain, and it is a guarantee that they can win this battle. All this is the result of what Lin has been emphasizing and persisting in.
Lin Jue took a shower, changed into clean clothes and armor, and his whole person looked radiant. In the face of everyone's standing ovation, Lin Jue only nodded slightly, but his expression was a little serious.
"Sit down." Lin Jue waved his hand.
Everyone sat down one after another, looking at Lin Jue eagerly. Lin Jue looked at Guo Kun and said, "Lord Wang, let's say a few words first." ”
