Chapter 426: The Miannan Army was destroyed
He didn't let Yamaki wait long, and two minutes later, eight cannonballs whistled through the sky.
Xiuxiu ~ Bagu looked up strangely, what is the dark red in the sky?
"Ahh No! "Bagu panicked! How is this possible! It seems to be a cannonball.
Boom ~ Boom ~ The fire of eight heavy artillery shells immediately covered a range of two hundred meters, and many cotton soldiers immediately flew up.
With just one blow, the cotton soldiers suffered more than 2,000 casualties, and less than 300 were able to get up after that.
"Ahh Damn it! Kill! Rush up! Rush up. The mud-faced Bagu shouted angrily, seeing that they had surrounded the Japanese Kou, how could they be willing! Even if half of the casualties of the cotton army have been lost by now!
The battlefield continued to resume lively fighting, but the Wako were relieved to know that they had a strong Han army behind them.
Woo Woo ~ Boom ~ Boom ~ Another round of shells fell, this time there were not many casualties, but the mood of the cotton army became more and more nervous.
At this time, 5,000 heavy horsemen also killed.
Wow wow~
Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom ~
"Haha good! Here it comes! It's finally here! Hearing the roar of the heavy horse, Yamaki Tengichi was also relieved!
The 20,000 sword soldiers who were surrounding the Japanese were also panicked, and the movement behind them was not small.
Buzzing~
At a distance of eighty meters, the scattered five thousand cavalry immediately fired crossbow arrows directly or threw them, and ten thousand crossbow arrows rained down.
"Ah~ah~" At least 5,000 sword soldiers fell one after another, and they were even more panicked in the face of the rushing cavalry cotton soldiers.
After the cavalry charged back and forth three times, most of the 20,000 cotton soldiers were killed and wounded, and the encirclement was completely opened.
"Stand back, we'll stand back!" The samurai were exhausted, and Yamaki could only order a retreat.
The 10,000 cotton army was still in pursuit, but they were also repulsed by heavy cavalry.
The battlefield was chaotic, and Bago hurried to reorganize his troops, because he heard the movement of the march coming from the pass.
The cotton army re-lined up, and the gunboats on the river did not take the opportunity to bombard. The 20,000 Marine Divisions have already arrived at the battle line, and it is not easy for them to grab their heads again.
Bago is happy and confused! Of the 300,000 troops, 140,000 have been killed in battle, 30,000 or 40,000 wounded soldiers, and 120,000 who can fight.
"Quick, hand over all the firecrackers to the front army!" The only fortunate thing is that they captured 10,000 firearms, and they also gave them a full 20,000 firearms.
In this battle, Yamaki can be regarded as a big victory! However, 50,000 people were killed, 10,000 were seriously injured, and 30,000 were lightly injured! Now there are only 20,000 samurai and 20,000 ashigaru who can fight! The cavalry was wiped out, but fortunately they still remembered to take most of the fire with them!
"Commander Xu! Our artillery is also lost! But the shell explosives have been pulled away! ”
Such a tragic battle! Xu Keding couldn't say anything. In fact, the Japanese have done a very good job.
"Commander Yamaki will look at our Marine Division next! You all go for treatment! Even Shan Mu has a few knife edges, and Xu Keding also has a little admiration.
Seeing that the Han army was only more than 20,000 people, they also captured 200 small cannons and tens of thousands of firearms, and Bagu was also full of confidence.
"Ladies and gentlemen, there are not many of them left, and the victory will be ours. Now the whole army is on the attack. ”
"Honorable Order." The generals also shouted orders.
The battle was fierce, but there were not many enemies left, and the cotton soldiers were panicked and excited.
Stepping on ~ Ignoring the 120,000 cotton army, the road battle division was lined up in three columns. There wasn't even a shield soldier, and there weren't as many small cannons as before.
"Good! Sortie. Under the order, all the cotton troops in the shape of finished characters were dispatched.
Fifty slapper guns were in front, twenty mountain guns were behind, and 20,000 marines began to wait quietly.
"* Mortars target enemy artillery, mountain artillery target firecrackers."
After the Marine Division locked the position, the gunners of the Cotton Army who were rushing slowly also came to 600 meters.
"Fire!"
Boom~ As soon as the low cannon sound sounded, mortar shells also whistled out.
Subsequently, mountain artillery also began to bombard.
Xiuxiu~ It's a scary sound again.
Boom ~ Boom ~ Nearly 1,000 artillery pieces and 200 small cannons were instantly surrounded by blazing fire.
Boom ~ Boom ~ The black powder of the cotton army also exploded.
The firecrackers behind the artillerymen were also very uncomfortable, thousands of people were killed, more than 1,000 were injured, and the entire firecracker array was in chaos.
"Damn! Charge! All the army is attacking! "Bago is furious, and now he can only fight for the number of people!
"Kill~Kill~" An army of more than 100,000 rushed over again.
Xu Keding sneered, the Marine Corps is not a half-cylinder of water.
Boom ~ Boom ~ The artillery fire is still there, and groups of cotton soldiers are blown away.
Mortars, in particular, fired eight shells in one minute. Hundreds of shells, and there is not much left of the musketeers.
"Kill~ Kill!"
Ban Ya ~ Ban Ya ~ Bago also let the last war elephant behind the army: forcing the cotton army to rush forward.
Three hundred meters, two hundred meters ~
"First column shooting."
Bang Bang Bang ~ The accurate shooting of nearly 7,000 firecrackers immediately hit 5,000 cotton people.
"Second column shooting."
Bang bang bang ~ Thousands of cotton people have fallen again.
The third column ~ the first column Xu Keding repeated the shouting, and at the same time the artillery fire did not stop.
Bang Bang Bang ~ After ten rounds of shooting, the cotton army, which had killed or wounded fifty or sixty thousand people, finally collapsed, even if they had rushed to a hundred meters.
"This! This is the strength of the Han army! Yamaki smiled bitterly and shook his head! In terms of firearms tactics, they are still too tender.
The fire was continuous, the artillery fire was continuous, and when there were corpses hundreds of meters ahead, the 50,000 cotton soldiers also collapsed in an instant! Even the war elephants were frightened away by the rout.
"Haha! Defeated! Defeated! The Han army is invincible! Invincible! "Bago knows that the cotton country is finished! 20,000 Han Chinese can defeat them! If the Han people in the north break through the mountain pass, the million cotton soldiers may not be able to win.
"That's it! Stop it! Seeing that the artillery was still adjusting the firing angle, the artillery battalion commander hurriedly called a halt.
The artillery was honest, and the five thousand cavalry on both sides were relieved to charge.
"Kill! Kill the past. ”
Wow wow~ The heavy horse burst out.
Boom ~ 5,000 war horses ran out of the formation of 20,000 cavalry.
"Ahh Come on! Come on! The cavalry was coming, and the panicked cotton soldiers were even more frightened.
The cavalry killed 50,000 cotton soldiers and immediately ran to the mountains, forests and rivers in front, and no one except the cavalry was left behind in the main road.
There were too many people, and in the end, 30,000 cotton soldiers fled the battlefield!
As soon as he crossed the river, Bago was even more disheartened! There are 300,000 troops, and now there are only 300 Rab war horse cavalry around him!
Needless to say, the rest of the deserters also went back to their own homes!
"Handsome! Shall we go back to Nadu? The adjutant general asked suspiciously!
Get back! Bago sneered and shook his head, "Hehe! Ben Shuai has no face to go back! Brethren! Let's go back to the mountain! I don't care about it anymore! ”
Now Bagu just wants to slip back to his hometown, the destruction of the 300,000 army, he doesn't want to bear the wrath of the cotton king.
The deputy general is overjoyed: "Yes, Dashuai!" No general, let's go home! Come on as the Han people come! ”
Good! Don't fight! The relatives also breathed a sigh of relief.
The war is over! The cotton army threw down more than 100,000 corpses and nearly 100,000 wounded soldiers!
There were corpses everywhere: there were cotton army and Japanese soldiers, but there was no Han army.
Xu Keding sighed and smiled bitterly: "The emperor is really seer!" ”。
The tragic battlefield also made him understand: why did the emperor recruit Japanese soldiers! I'm afraid that after the battle of the cotton country is completely settled, the Japanese army will only be 40,000 or 50,000 people!
Both armies were tired, and after a brief treatment of the wounded, the army returned to the riverside camp. As for the corpses, tomorrow I will let the Japanese catch 100,000 cotton people to clean them up.
