Chapter 627: The Battle of Hu (2)
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
The left flank battalion of the Ming army.
The artillery attached to the Eagle Yang Army roared again, and hundreds of cannons roared into the Tartar formation, and the battle formation of the Ming army, which was originally under great pressure, instantly relaxed. In particular, the soldiers of Shaanxi Town, in the face of the onslaught of several times the Tartars, have finally stabilized the battle formation, which has been alarmed everywhere.
In the distance, the king of Turpan, Sutan Ali, saw this scene, his face was very ugly, the soldiers and horses under his command in this battle have lost more than 20,000 people, and the wounded are even more numerous, but they have not broken through the left wing camp of the Ming army, if this battle drags on, it is very likely to be reversed by the Ming army!
Now it is estimated that the situation on the right wing is similar, the resistance of the Ming army is extremely tenacious, and the king of Turpan, Sutan Ali, even guesses that there will be an existence similar to the Holy Sect in the Ming army, otherwise why are these Ming troops so fierce and not afraid of death?
What the king of Turpan Sutanali didn't know was that although there was no such cult as Islam in the Ming army, the generals at all levels of the Tiance Army graduated from the Wulietang, and most of the generals were members of the Wuyi Society. Fight with the Tartars!
"Herald!"
Seeing that the battle situation had not progressed, and the soldiers and horses under his command had suffered heavy casualties, the king of Turpan, Sutan Ali, finally gritted his teeth and said: "Order: The white-clothed iron cavalry attacked!" ”
"Yes!"
It didn't take long for more than 7,000 white-clothed iron cavalry to start slowly, accompanied by more than 20,000 armored iron cavalry, a total of 30,000 iron cavalry army roaring towards the left wing camp of the Ming army.
These 30,000 Turpan iron cavalry are different from ordinary troops, all of them are the elite of the elite, and they have never participated in the war since the beginning of the war.
Seeing this, Yan Hu, the commander of the left-wing army, immediately laughed, and said to Niu Linghe, the chief soldier of Shaanxi Town, who had just led the team to retreat to rest: "Look, Chief Soldier! Those Turpan Tartars couldn't hold on, and the 30,000 reserves were all pressed up! ”
Niu Linghe's eyes lit up, and he said fiercely: "General! Let's do it! ”
"Good!"
Yan Hu said loudly: "Take out all the rockets and give me a bang!" Light the second wolf smoke! ”
"Order!"
Niu Linghe personally ran to the artillery position of the Eagle Yang Army, and shouted loudly at the thirty Shenji gun carriages that had been loaded: "Aim at the iron cavalry army in front and ignite the fire!" ”
"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! ”
"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! ”
The last thirty Shenji artillery vehicles of the Eagle Yang Army fired at the 30,000 Turpan Iron Cavalry Army that was charging at high speed, and in an instant, tens of thousands of powerful rockets shot out, making a terrible whistling sound in the air, and then smashed into the Iron Cavalry Army, giving the 30,000 Iron Cavalry Army a blow!
In just this round of bombardment, more than 2,000 people were shot and killed, and the formation of the entire Iron Cavalry Army suddenly became chaotic.
However, the huge inertia of the Iron Cavalry army still exists, and the remaining hundred or so steps are also instantaneous, even if the Eagle Yang Army has begun to fire a salvo, even if the Iron Cavalry Army has been hit fiercely and the casualties have increased dramatically, the huge cavalry formation is still advancing rapidly.
Yan Hu only felt his heart beating, and a monstrous battle intent surged up, waving his knife and shouting: "Get on the bayonet!" Fight to the death! ”
"Wan Sheng!"
The soldiers of the Eagle Yang Army and the soldiers of Shaanxi Town let out an angry roar one after another, and formed a formation to guard the camp on the left flank, swearing not to retreat!
"Boom!"
After a loud bang, more than 20,000 iron cavalry troops led by white-clothed iron cavalry crashed into the left wing camp of the Ming army.
At this time, the battalion has been crippled, most of the camp has been destroyed, the soldiers of the Yingyang Army and the soldiers of Shaanxi Town can only form a formation to block the gaps in various places, when the more than 20,000 iron cavalry troops of the Tartars and the surrounding soldiers and horses collided, the soldiers of the Ming Army suffered huge casualties, and the soldiers in many places were killed in the whole system!
But whether it is the soldiers of the Yingyang Army or the soldiers of Shaanxi Town, no one retreats, and everyone is fighting to the death and fighting bloodily!
At this time, Yan Hu and Niu Ling and Ye each rushed forward with their own guards, and the two of them, one left and one right, rushed to the front line and fought endlessly, and the battle entered a white heat.
The right flank battalion of the Ming army.
"Allah is above!"
He prayed loudly, and his subordinates around him also knelt on the ground and prayed devoutly.
Up to now, more than 20,000 soldiers and horses under the command of the Ming army have been lost, and the morale of the soldiers and horses of all departments has begun to decline to varying degrees, but the large battalion guarded by the Ming army is still as solid as a rock and stands still.
As a result, he decided to use his most elite Holy Sect guards to participate in the battle, preparing to break through the right wing camp of the Ming army as soon as possible.
These 50,000 Holy Sect guards were originally used by Jia Silan to fight against Liu Juntao's main troops, and they were the last hole card, and they could never be used easily.
However, at this time, the war has already fallen into anxiety, if the deadlock cannot be broken as soon as possible, the tide of the battle is very likely to be reversed, or even decline, which is also unreasonable, and the Holy Sect guards must be mobilized immediately to participate in the battle.
So after some pious prayers, Gan Gaslan ordered the 30,000 heavy infantry in the Holy Sect's personal guard army to form a formation and step forward, preparing to take these 30,000 people as the vanguard, gather the 100,000 ordinary foot soldiers in front of the formation, and take the right wing battalion of the Ming army with superior forces.
At the same time, he also divided the remaining 50,000 or so iron cavalry into two teams to protect the two wings of the infantry army, leaving only 20,000 iron cavalry of the Holy Sect Guards to protect him.
In this wave of attacks, Gaslan pressed almost all of his own troops, which shows that it is bound to win!
Seeing the battle of the Tartars, Gao Ran, the commander of the right-wing battalion, and Chen Ziping, the deputy general, were all frowning, and the soldiers of the Vietnamese cavalry and the Zhichong army under their command were also nervously preparing to meet the battle.
"The final battle is coming!"
Gao Ran nodded and said, "Light the second wolf smoke!" ”
Chen Ziping immediately sent his guards to light the wolf smoke, and then said: "Let the artillery array fight another round!" ”
Gao Ran said: "It's okay! Tell the artillerymen to drain all the guns; Bring up the baggage officers of the two armies and be ready to support the front at any time! ”
After speaking, Gao Ran pulled out his sword and roared loudly; "Fight to the death! Daming Wansheng! ”
Chen Ziping was also enthusiastic, and roared with the soldiers around him: "Daming Wansheng!" ”
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
After four rounds of artillery fire, the artillery positions of the Vietnamese cavalry and the Zhechong army stopped one after another, and the long-term bombardment had exhausted the ammunition of the two armies.
At this time, the army of more than 200,000 Tartars pressed up mightily, although it was impossible to engage all the soldiers of the Ming army at the same time, but such an endless army, like a rolling flood, completely covered the right wing battalion of the Ming army, and the four rounds of artillery fire were like stones falling into the sea, which did not play a big role at all.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”
"Ready! Put! ”
"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”
"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”
Nearly 30,000 bird-gunners from the Vietnamese cavalry and the Zhichong army began to fire a salvo, and a huge iron curtain was instantly unfolded, sweeping across the entire Tartar army, layer after layer of thinning the battle formations of the Tartars.
However, the Tartar army also came prepared, and equipped with countless thick shields in front of the army, although it was impossible to block all the lead bullets, but also minimized casualties, and controlled the number of losses of the army within a bearable range.
In particular, the infantry of the 30,000 Holy Sect Guards were heavily armored, equipped with plate armor like iron cans, and wore thick animal skin cloaks outside, and their defensive capabilities were outstanding.
A dozen rounds of salvos came down, and although the Tartar army fell by tens of thousands of people, it finally rushed to the front of the Ming army!
"Get on the bayonet!"
"Tiger! Tiger! Tiger! ”
After three shouts, the soldiers of the Ming army forged ahead together, fighting with the Tartar army, the two sides did not give in to each other, and a death front that stretched for miles was instantly formed!
The 30,000 Holy Sect guards were very strong, and they directly tore through the battle formation of the Yue cavalry, like a huge nail, and drilled into the battle formation of the Ming army.
Chen Ziping was taken aback when he saw this, and immediately rushed forward with dozens of personal guard soldiers, together with more than 3,000 soldiers of the Vietnamese cavalry army and the Zhichong army.
Although these more than 3,000 soldiers are all heavy soldiers, these soldiers are all strong men with tall horses and strong horses, and at this time they are all wearing heavy armor, and the weapons in their hands are almost all heavy weapons such as spears and sticks, which are completely 3,000 heavy armored infantry!
"Kill!"
The two sides collided in an instant, and the infantry of the 30,000 Holy Sect Guards suddenly hit a huge stone, and they could no longer move forward.
And Chen Ziping also led the army to fight to the death and did not retreat, and the two sides began bloody hand-to-hand combat, until the death rested!
Gao Ran was also anxious when he saw this, and hurriedly dispatched a hundred mine-throwers from various departments to support.
After a while, the hundred miners rushed to the battlefield and leaned directly from the flank of the 30,000 Holy Sect Guards.
"Cast!"
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
After a few rounds, hundreds of heaven-shattering thunderbolts exploded one after another in the battle formation of the Holy Sect Guards, and suddenly blasted the Tartar Formation out of a huge depression, killing more than a thousand people on the spot, and the formation of the Holy Sect Guards began to waver!
Seeing this, Chen Ziping laughed and shouted: "Haha! These Tartars are nothing more than that, rush me up! ”
The 3,000 soldiers immediately launched a counterattack, and advanced together with the surrounding Vietnamese cavalry and the soldiers of the Zhichong Army, and the pressure of the infantry of the Holy Sect Guards immediately increased dramatically, coupled with the continuous explosion of earth-shattering thunder around the area, the casualties increased sharply for a while, and the army's heart was greatly moved!
