Chapter 670: The Front Army is Destroyed

"Bang bang bang! ……”

Dozens of paces away, the deafening sound of continuous explosions rang out, and the dazzling golden flames appeared and disappeared in the large cloud of whistle smoke, and the air was full of broken limbs and blood, and the screams came one after another, and the scene was like hell.

The Tang Army's unexpected earth-shattering thunder bombardment can be described as a fatal blow to the Liukou soldiers.

These fragments with a killing radius of more than ten paces were a single soldier earth-shattering thunder, and the killing effect on the rogue soldiers was terrifying.

More than 800 of these single-handed earth-shattering thunderbolts were thrown out in a row, and a total of more than 800 of them exploded smoothly, killing more than 2,000 rogues who were charging intensively in an instant, and countless people were injured. Many people have been deaf with a shock to their ears, and they are frozen in place, not knowing what to do next.

For a time, the rogue formation was in chaos, and the morale fell to the bottom.

At this time, the second round of individual thunder throwing by the Tang Army's auxiliaries began again.

"Bang bang bang! ……”

Dozens of paces away, there was another continuous violent explosion, human stumps and blood and internal organs flew everywhere, and as many as a thousand rogue soldiers who had no time to retreat were killed in an instant.

Immediately after that, another third round of throwing began.

And when the earth-shattering thunder was mighty, the 2,000 flint Lu Mi guns fired in unison, and the heavy dragon guns at the head of the city rumbled even more, without a moment's rest.

In the face of such a powerful firearm attack by the Tang army, in the face of this violent massacre that was almost absolute death, the rogues who rushed into battle with their flesh and blood finally completely collapsed only more than 20 steps away from Haogou.

In fact, the war has not been a battle until now, but a one-sided massacre.

The rogues threw their weapons one after another, howling and turning around and fleeing, like a group of pigs who don't 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 ghosts of the Tang army.

If you want to run, it's not that easy!

Seeing that the rogue who was overwhelmed by the black pressure and rushed into battle finally completely collapsed under the heavy blow of his own firearms, the whole army fled in a hurry, and continuous and loud cheers sounded in the Haogou formation of the Tang army.

At the same time, a large number of Tang army spearmen in full armor and armed with sharp steel spears jumped out of the ditch, hurried away, and followed the fleeing Liukou soldiers.

As soon as they got closer, the 4-meter-long stainless steel spear and the sharp and terrifying three-edged blood groove spear head stabbed towards the fleeing rogue soldiers as if they had eyes.

Being stabbed by the three-edged stainless steel spear head engraved with a deep blood groove is like being kissed by a poisonous snake, which can be said to be dead when touched, and dead when touched. Under the ferocious stabbing of the Tang army's spearmen, the rogues screamed again and again, and continued to struggle and fall to their deaths.

The spearmen of the Tang Army fought hard, bravely killed the defeated soldiers, and the cavalry of the Tang Army, who had been recuperating and not moving, were not willing to be left behind.

A large number of Tang cavalry, including the Manchurian cavalry, a total of more than 4,000 people, who had been quietly staying at the east gate of Shanhaiguan, immediately let out a beast-like howl after receiving the order, like a tiger out of the mountain, like a sword out of the box, everyone fought bravely, one by one, and swarmed away from the east gate of Shanhaiguan.

They rushed out of the city like a tidal wave, then turned around and went straight south, and when the whole army had passed the corner of the city wall, they slaughtered the fleeing rogue army like arrows from the string.

In the heavy rain, these more than 4,000 armored and murderous Tang cavalry were like a god of death, with horses' hooves rumbling, guns pointing at knives, slashing and killing the rogues who could not escape.

Such a one-sided and merciless slaughter, don't be too cool.

For a time, the Tang army's spearmen and cavalry formed a benign interaction on the battlefield, the spearmen chased the routed soldiers, the cavalry outflanked them, and the two arms worked together to eliminate the fleeing rogues in large groups, causing a devastating blow to them who fled for their lives.

At a glance, the entire empty suburb outside the flat south gate was like a human slaughterhouse, and the ground was covered with the corpses of the rogue soldiers, horizontal and vertical, shocking, overflowing blood, mixed with rainwater, and actually merged into a red river of blood.

The river of blood meanders and flows, which makes people's hearts palpitate and chill, which shows how cruel this killing was.

In the Liukou Formation, Liu Fangliang, the deputy general who had been postponed to supervise, saw that these 30,000 vanguard elites had not even touched Haogou, and they were completely defeated by the Tang Army and it was difficult to clean up, and the anger and frustration in his heart were difficult to describe in words.

Fuck, this fucking fight is so damn that it can suffocate people to death!

And when he saw that the spearmen and cavalry of the Tang Army, like chasing death, were still chasing and killing these poor deserters, his heart was even more like a knife.

It's hateful, 30,000 elites, once wiped out, this is simply the biggest shame and defeat since Dashun started the army!

Now that the forward has been frustrated, the army has lost all its troops, and even though the Chinese army and the rear army have not moved, it is simply impossible to take the Tang army's Haogou again when the vanguard is broken and morale is broken.

Liu Fangliang is worthy of being a veteran on the battlefield, in the face of such an unfavorable situation, he gritted his teeth, tried to control the ups and downs in his heart, and gave a deep retreat order.

"General Chuanben's order, immediately sound gold, order the whole army to retreat, and then order the reserve 5,000 cavalry to immediately go out of battle to meet the enemy, and be sure to block those damned Tang cavalry, the crazy pursuit of our army's rout."

"Order!"

In the pouring rain, the piercing and sharp sound of gold pierced through the rain curtain, so that the rogue soldiers who were fleeing in all directions on the battlefield heard the amnesty, and everyone's face was full of desire to live, and they all used their strength to eat, spread their feet and ran as hard as they could, and rushed towards their own army formation.

Behind them, the spearmen and cavalry of the Tang Army were still following them, chasing and killing them endlessly.

At this time, the 5,000 cavalry of the old battalion did not dare to slack off, they slammed their horses' bellies, attacked with all their might, and rushed towards the red-eyed Tang cavalry.

However, they had only barely traveled far before they were immediately greatly hindered.

Because at this time of the battle, about 20,000 of the 30,000 rogue soldiers who fled were killed and slashed, and only about 10,000 people were left to tell their fortunes, and they could still escape with their lives.

The military situation is urgent, life and death are at stake, the rogue cavalry saw this situation, they were also very helpless, they cursed loudly, while struggling to pull out their horses and advance from the gap in the flow of people, and some anxious cavalry, they couldn't wait to pull out their machetes, and slashed hard at the flow of people fleeing on both sides, and in the continuous screams, Shengsheng squeezed out a passage from it.

It's just that this delay didn't affect for long, because soon, those Tang cavalry with full armor and sharp knives and guns chased after them like death, chasing those routs all the way, and rushed to the front of the rogue cavalry who were still unable to form a battle formation.

The arrival of the Tang army can be described as a surprise and unpreparedness, which made this group of rogue cavalry very passive suddenly.

The cavalry of the Tang Army, which rushed all the way at high speed, had a semicircular formation as a whole, like a fierce fist, and with a very fierce momentum, it crashed into the rout soldiers blocking the front, and instantly rushed into the Liukou army formation.

This fierce impact made the originally scattered rogue cavalry formation more and more scattered, and a large number of unsuspecting rogue cavalry were killed by the Tang cavalry who rushed wildly.

They either screamed and fell off their horses, or were stabbed in the chest by sharp riding spears, and many were stabbed in pairs by the Tang army's riding spears or riding knives, even men and horses, and their deaths were very horrifying.

The cavalry of the Tang Army, who was slightly inferior in numbers, gave the slightly more Liukou cavalry first, and came with a solid and ferocious blow.

Immediately, the two cavalry teams were immediately strangled together.

The clanging of swords and slashes, the tooth-aching porphyry sound of cutting bones, the dull pop sound of stabbing into the body of a human horse, the screams of dying and the mournful screams of a dying horse, suddenly resounded.

It seemed that this stalemate between the cavalry might last for a long time, but as the Tang Army spearmen behind came quickly, the battle situation became clear in an instant.

A Tang Army spearman armed with a 4-meter stainless steel spear ran all the way here, and everyone was already out of breath, but he was still a hundred times more energetic, and his morale was like a rainbow. They shouted and rushed quickly, completely cutting off the back road of the rogue cavalry, completely outflanking them, and leaving this group of rogue cavalry in a desperate situation of being completely surrounded.

A sharp steel spear, like a flying poisonous dragon, roared and stabbed fiercely, and the rogue cavalry, men and horses, were stabbed by the spears one after another, one cavalry after another screamed and fell from their horses, and one after another the war horses neighed and fell to the ground.

The battle was fierce and the fighting continued, and in this sudden battle of encirclement and annihilation, the Tang Army completely gained the upper hand in a very short period of time, and the entire battle had already shown a one-sided trend.

The rogue cavalry, which had been hit by the enemy on its back, resisted with great difficulty for a while, and finally completely collapsed.

A large number of rogue cavalry began to fight to break through at any cost. A large number of rogue cavalry howled loudly, threw their weapons on the spot, and raised their hands and begged for mercy, looking very pitiful.

It's just that on this rain-soaked battlefield, because of the fear that the Liukou will continue to send reinforcements, the Tang army simply does not have the ability and time to collect the prisoners. Therefore, the cavalry and spearmen of the Tang Army, who had killed the red eyes, still roared like beasts, and ruthlessly wanted to kill all the remaining rogue cavalry.

In the end, there were only less than 1,000 rogue cavalry, but they fought to the death to break out of the encirclement, and they were extremely lucky to save their lives and escape. The remaining more than 3,000 rogue cavalry were all killed by the Tang army in this rainy battlefield.

Of course, this assault battle of the Liukou cavalry was not without any value.

After all, when they were fighting desperately, they bought a lot of time to escape for their lives. Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, these routers fled for their lives and returned to the formation, and finally survived.

At this time of the battle, the Tang army's spearmen and cavalry had already won a complete victory, and in order to avoid extraneous branches, they had no intention of continuing the pursuit, but retreated one after another.

What is ridiculous is that when they retreated, the already terrified rogue soldiers could only watch them withdraw, but no one dared to attack again.

Watching the Tang army retreat calmly, Liu Fangliang, who had been silently watching the battle, felt like a knife in his heart, his face tightened, he endured the pain in his heart, and issued an order with a trembling voice to the soldiers who survived the catastrophe.

"The whole army listened to the order, retreated to the main position in order, joined up with the Chinese army, and then made calculations."

"Order!"

After saying this, he pulled out his horse and walked first, and took the lead in rushing back to the place where the Chinese army was, and went to meet Liu Zongmin.

Liu Fangliang rode on horseback, and through the drifting rain curtain, he saw from a distance that Liu Zongmin was dressed in armor, with a knife on his waist, standing in the heavy rain like a statue.

He slowly approached his horse, and a few steps away from Liu Zongmin, rolled the saddle and dismounted, knelt on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "Under Liu Fangliang, the commander of the army is incompetent, and he has lost nearly 20,000 soldiers, and he has failed to take the Tang army Haogou, please punish the Marquis of Ru." ”

Liu Zongmin's eyes didn't look at him at all, but looked into the distance through the heavy rain curtain, and only replied in a deep voice for a long time: "Cihou, you get up." We've been brothers for many years, so let's not come to this set. In my opinion, the defeat of this battle is, in the final analysis, not your fault, but the reason why we underestimated the enemy. ”

Liu Fangliang was stunned when he heard this, but he felt a little comforted in his heart, he hesitated for a moment before slowly standing up.

"Speaking of which, fighting with the Tang Army turned out to be such a result, which was really beyond my original expectations." Liu Zongmin's words are full of unspeakable pain and bitterness. "I really didn't expect that his sailor ships anchored on the sea would be so powerful, attacking with gunwales, which actually compressed the combat space of our army and forced our army to turn to one side, which is really hateful!"

"Because of this, in order to avoid artillery fire, our army had to carry out intensive attacks, and as a result, the Tang army's firearms gave full play to their advantages. The Tang Army's artillery, guns, and earth-shattering thunder attacked in turn, and no one could resist such dense and powerful firepower. ”

When Liu Zongmin said this, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh, with an indescribable loneliness.

"Liu Shuai, now that our army has been defeated, what should we do? In addition, what is the current situation of the Qing army in the north? Liu Fangliang asked in a low voice.

Liu Zongmin sneered and said in a deep voice: "After this great defeat, our army can only fight again, so we can only retreat to the camp for the time being, redo the rest, and make another calculation." As for the Qing army in the north? ”

He paused slightly, then replied with a sneer: "Ben Shuai dares to predict that the Qing army is helping in this battle, and its willingness to fight is very limited. So far, they must have only bluffed and definitely not started the offensive. Moreover, after hearing the sound of our army's gold, the Qing army must no longer have the fighting spirit and want to retreat. The shrewd and cunning Dolgon would have ordered the whole army to retreat, and would never dare to attack Shanhaiguan. ”()
