Chapter 735
He clearly saw that from the distant horizon in the direction of Qishui County, there seemed to be a black line jumping out, beginning to be extremely thin and light, and gradually becoming thicker and thicker, and finally this black line was like magic, conjuring countless soldiers and horses and banners, swords and guns were dazzling, and the war horses neighed, whistling and shouting, surging in his direction.
It was almost noon, and the weather was starting to get very hot, and in the boiling heat, these rushing soldiers and horses, showing twisted and strange shapes, looked very unreal, as if they were dream-like existences.
The clairvoyant mirror in Jin Shenghuan's hand clanged to the ground, and his face instantly turned pale.
The reinforcements of the Tang Army arrived unexpectedly from the sky at this critical time, but they were completely caught off guard.
I never expected that Tang Jun would have such a hand.
Their soldiers and horses, not only from the water, but also from the land, are now just right to give themselves a front and back attack. Looking at this posture, these two Tang armies are going to attack back and forth, and wipe out all their 60,000 soldiers and horses in this open space near the Ba River.
Beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down Jin Shenghuan's face.
The mistakes that I took for granted at the beginning have finally become the irreversible bad situation now.
What to do?
What the hell is going to do now?!
However, just when he was anxious and confused, the Tang army formation rolling in the distance was already getting closer and closer, full of an indescribable sense of oppression.
Seeing the Tang army formation behind him, getting closer and closer, Jin Shenghuan, who was in a cold sweat, knew that it was no longer possible for him to make a decision.
"Pass on our military order, and the whole army will be divided into two parts at a rapid pace, and they will meet the enemy separately to resist the enemy army!"
"Order!"
Dividing troops to meet the enemy is the best strategy that Jin Shenghuan can come up with now.
After all, they have 60,000 soldiers under their command, and they still have a certain advantage in strength, and the Tang army is attacking in two columns, and they are afraid that they will not be able to eat themselves for a while, and perhaps, they will also be afraid of attacking, and form a long-term confrontation with themselves, which is the best result for themselves.
Just when the left army was nervously dividing its troops and people shouting and neighing at the horses, at this time, from the front of the Tang army's battle formation, surrounded by dozens of well-equipped escort cavalry, a general wearing stainless steel armor and a bright red cloak, slowly paced to the front of the formation.
This general is Huang Degong, the mayor of the ninth town of the Tang Army.
He rode his horse majestically and held the saddle, slowly paced to the front of the formation, and shouted loudly at the opposite side of the riverbank: "I am the general under the Tang King, Huang Degong, the mayor of the ninth town, who is the general opposite, come out and talk to me!" ”
Seeing Huang Degong calling for battle across the bank, Jin Shenghuan's heart couldn't help but sigh again.
It seems that the Tang army thought that they were already victorious, so they took advantage of the dangerous situation that they had been attacked from front to back, and came to persuade them to surrender.
Hmph, such a despicable person will really take advantage of people's danger.
Jin Shenghuan secretly hated in his heart, but his face tried to remain calm. Subsequently, under the protection of dozens of escort cavalry, he also came to the front of the whole army and replied loudly to Huang Degong on the other bank: "I am Jin Shenghuan, the chief soldier of Ningnan Hou's subordinates. Hmph, I really didn't expect that Huang Degong, the general soldier of Yangchu, would work so hard to serve after surrendering to the Tang Army, which really made Jin's teeth cold. What did you say before you came to battle today, but speak to me bluntly! ”
Huang Degong laughed, he stroked his long beard, stared at Jin Shenghuan with an angry face on the other side, sighed secretly, and said loudly: "Jin Shenghuan, this town abandoned that Hongguang and switched to Li Xiao, the king of Tang, it is really abandoning the dark and turning to the bright." Since the vote for the Tang Dynasty, a certain family has been highly used, how can it be compared to the past under Hongguang. The king of Tang treats me as a national soldier, and I repay him as a national soldier, where can I be? When I came here today, I really had something important to say to General Kim, and I hope the general will listen carefully. ”
Seeing Huang Degong's well-spoken appearance, Jin Shenghuan was angry in his heart, his teeth were secretly gritted, and he said hatefully: "Okay, a certain family will come and listen, if you have anything to say, you will go around and around!" ”
Huang Degong saw that he was so angry and impatient, so he sighed: "General Jin, in life, who can be without fault, and can change after passing by, which is very good." As far as this town is concerned, I was always the general soldier of Yangchu in the Hongguang court that day, but I was like a walking corpse, spending time in vain, and regretting it every day. I thought that this life might be spent so mediocre, but I didn't expect that God had eyes, so that a certain family had to take advantage of the good opportunity of the Tang King to lead the troops south, and finally with his subordinates, a prop in time to return to the Tang King Li Xiao. Since then, it has been greatly used, sweeping away the grievances and depression of the day when he was in the Hongguang court. Now I am the mayor of the ninth town of the Tang Army, a pro-commander general, and I hold an important position. It can be seen that the Tang King is really kind to us and others anyway. And General Jin said that he was also an old colleague of a certain family, how could this town bear to see that the general continued to go to the dark by the wrong road, and then ......"
"Shut up! You are clearly for the sake of your own rich future, betrayed the court, went to the thief Li Xiao, and still spoke in front of our army, Jin is deeply ashamed! Jin Shenghuan sharply interrupted Huang Degong's words and shouted: "You and I have long been gracious, and we are here to fight for our masters, and we will not mention the feelings of our colleagues in the past!" Hmph, I want to persuade the general, and ask if the sword in the hand of a certain family will agree! Huang Degong, you heard clearly, don't say it's you, it's the thief Li Xiao who personally led the army to persuade the general, and the general will also fight with this guy for life and death, and there is no mercy at all! ”
"Yo, that's good, it seems that Ningnanhou Zuo Liangyu can win you over, and he can let you make him die like this." Huang Degong sneered, but shook his head, and said: "It's just that if you don't mention the past, even if the general insists on serving Zuo Liangyu to death, the current situation is already a dead state." Your troops have been sandwiched here by the front and rear of our Tang Army, and it is difficult to escape again. Today's battle between you and me, in fact, the outcome has already been predetermined, why do you have to fight with my Tang army for the sake of your own face and so-called foolish loyalty? What's more, your troops have traveled so far and are already exhausted, and now they are in a hurry to respond to the battle, and the troops are divided into two divisions, how can they be the opponents of our army? To tell you the truth, this town is a person who misses the old days, and has a good heart, and he can't bear to kill the evil, so he came to shout to you before the battle, and you must seize the opportunity to recognize the situation. ”
Hearing Huang Degong's persuasion, Jin Shenghuan laughed miserably, and replied: "Phew! If you want this general soldier to be as treacherous as you and surrender to the thief Li Xiao, it's really funny! Let me tell you, this soldier is quite reused by the Marquis of Ningnan, and the official positions are all one rank higher than the outstanding generals, such a generous kindness, Jin will definitely be repaid by life and death! Huang Degong, don't talk nonsense, if you have the ability, you will come to break the formation, Jin is waiting for Gao Ming here! ”
"Good! There is a way in heaven that you don't take, and there is no door to hell for you to come! If you are killing yourself, then this town will fulfill you! When you arrive, you will be in a different place, and you will go to eighteen layers of hell, but you will not regret it! When Huang Degong said this, he was also angry, gritted his teeth and said the next words.
"Hmph, I regret it, and let the horse come!" Jin Shenghuan has hard teeth and strong teeth, and his face is fierce.
Huang Degong smiled coldly, a hideous look flashed on his face, he didn't say anything more, and immediately pulled his horse back to the battle. At the same time, Jin Shenghuan also snorted coldly, and hurriedly led the army back to the battle.
Not long after Jin Shenghuan returned to the rear formation, the 60,000 soldiers and horses under his command had already been divided into two divisions and lined up separately, and the Tang Army troops that had been copied from the rear had already been organized into a complete battle formation equal to its width two miles away.
At this moment, Jin Shenghuan was surprised to find that the Tang Army battle formations in the front and rear began to move together.
The one who moved the fastest was the Tang army formation that came from behind.
In this Tang army battle array, at the forefront of the march are 3,000 musketeers, each of whom is wearing a burning fire rope, holding a black and shiny Lumi gun that has already been loaded, lined up in three rows and three sections, followed by the 2,000 shield soldiers in front, in the sound of neat drums, marching towards the city in unison.
Behind the Musketeer, a mecha-like sentry followed. They were divided into two parts, separated on two sides, and firmly guarded the two wings.
In the end, a large number of spearmen followed closely, ready to rush forward and fight the left army hand-to-hand after the Lumi soldiers had withdrawn.
Seeing Tang Jun's firecrackers rushing up, Jin Shenghuan's heart was tense again.
He had heard many times that the Tang Army's flint Lu Mi Gong was very powerful, and the small lead bullet shot from this flint Lu Mi gun was only three coins, which was much more powerful than the ordinary fire guns used by other Ming troops.
You must know that the average firearm can shoot at most about 60 paces away, and this flint gun is said to be able to shoot the enemy alive from a distance of 160 steps.
It is conceivable that these 3,000 Tang soldiers came to shoot together, and the power and lethal effect can be imagined how terrifying it is.
Looking at the Tang Army's military formation getting closer and closer, and seeing the jet-black flint hair rushing from the pole, Jin Shenghuan's heart beat like a drum.
What to do?
Do you just shrink back and wait for them to attack?
No, you can't let the Tang Army attack recklessly like this, and you must not just be a live target for any fight!
If the Tang army stopped one hundred and sixty or seventy paces away and kept shooting like this, then his own subordinates, no matter how many soldiers and horses, would be crushed by such a one-sided slaughter.
Sitting back is the most incompetent and stupid solution.
Then, the only way for me now is to seize the time, take advantage of the superiority in strength, and order these left troops in the rear to rush out and kill these damn Tang army gunners, and we must not let them shoot their tens of thousands of subordinates like targets.
Thinking of this, Jin Shenghuan's face was almost distorted.
He shouted: "Grandma, if you keep it like this, I'm afraid that you will die in the end." Instead of sitting and waiting, it is better to fight to the death! Everyone listen to the general, while the Tang army has not yet come, I will rush out together and fight with those Tang army gunners in close combat, so that their firearms will not work. Brothers, we must use the superiority of our forces to fight back these damn Tang troops! ”
"Yes! I understand it under it! “
The left army in the rear let out a roar in unison, and rushed forward with swords and spears, and a brutal battle with hand-to-hand combat quickly began.
Just when the soldiers in the rear rushed out and wanted to fight hand-to-hand with the outflanking soldiers and horses of the Tang army, in the Tang army formation on the other side of the Ba River, there was also a shouting order, Jin Shenghuan saw from a distance that the red flag in the Tang army formation waved, and in the Tang army formation, a large number of Tang army auxiliaries who had been holding on to the ground ran quickly to the wooden bridge.
After they ran across the wooden bridge, they used their strength to shake the sky and thunder the burning individual soldiers in their hands, and threw them vigorously towards the left army formation, which had retreated dozens of paces.
"Bang bang bang! ……”
The deafening sound of continuous explosions almost burst people's eardrums, and the dazzling golden fire appeared and disappeared in the large cloud of whistle smoke, and the air was full of broken limbs and blood, and the screams were heard one after another, and the scene was like a bloody hell.
The Tang Army's unexpected earth-shattering thunder bombardment completely exceeded Jin Shenghuan's expectations. These dense throws, with a radius of more than 10 steps, caused a very terrible killing effect on the soldiers of the retreating Left Army.
Nearly 1,000 single-handed earth-shattering thunderbolts were thrown intensively, and a total of more than 700 of them exploded smoothly, killing at least more than 2,000 soldiers of the left army who were caught off guard, and countless people were injured.
For a time, the formation of the left army was in chaos, and the morale fell to the bottom.
"Don't panic! Don't fucking panic! Stabilize it all for Lao Tzu! ”
Seeing his own soldiers, the Tang Army auxiliaries who rushed across the pontoon bridge were bombed by thunder, and they were in chaos again, and Jin Shenghuan, the commander of the left army, was furious and yelled at those routs.
At this time, the second round of individual thunder throwing by the Tang Army's auxiliaries began again.
Those Tang Army auxiliaries lit a new one-handed thunderbolt, and then rounded their arms, threw these earth-shattering thunderbolts with blue light with their fuses, and threw them vigorously.
"Bang bang bang! ……”
Dozens of paces away, there was another series of violent explosions, human stumps and blood and internal organs flying in all directions, and as many as 1,000 soldiers of the Left Army who had no time to retreat and disperse, were killed in an instant, and they were killed and wounded.
Immediately after that, the third round of throwing began, and it was another brutal and horrific killing.
In the face of such a powerful firearm attack, in the face of this violent massacre that was almost absolute death, how could the soldiers in the left army who were formed in a formation with these flesh and blood have never seen such a terrifying and hellish formation. After the third round of earth-shaking thunder throws by the Tang Army, they finally collapsed completely.
A large number of left sergeants in the front line threw their weapons one after another, howling and turning around and fleeing, like a group of pigs who do not care about their stomachs, no longer talking about any organization and discipline, everyone is desperately retreating and running, lest they fall behind, they will become the ghost of the Tang army's sword and gun.
"you! Don't run! All for Lao Tzu to come back! If you hear it, give it to Lao Tzu back! ”
Seeing his own soldiers, he finally completely collapsed under the dense earth-shattering thunder bombardment of the Tang army, and Jin Shenghuan, whose face was splashed with the smoke of the explosion, was anxious and angry, and his face was full of pain and despair.
Unexpectedly, these front-line soldiers didn't even have the opportunity to fight with the Tang Army, and they were completely defeated by the Tang Army and it was difficult to clean up, and the anger and frustration in Jin Shenghuan's heart were difficult to describe in words.
