Chapter 911: The quasi-army is coming, and the battle is stalemate
The tiny lead bullets weighing three coins burrowed into the human body, breaking bones, tearing muscles, and the surging bullets churned the internal organs into a pulp, forming a terrible cavity effect.
The quasi-soldiers in the front row, many of them immediately bloomed like a trick, and the people who were hit fell on their backs as if they had been struck by a heavy hammer.
The impact of this lead bullet was so great that those quasi-soldiers who happened to block the lead bullet with their shields could not withstand the huge impact force, and they staggered backwards and fell. It's just that as soon as they fell, they were immediately trampled to death and injured by the fanatical quasi-soldiers who were still rushing from behind, and the scene was a mess.
The first round of shooting, although it was completely impossible to aim because of the strong wind and sand, also caused at least 700 parasoldiers to be killed and wounded on the spot, so that the formation of the paramilitary suddenly appeared in chaos.
When the quasi-army formation was scattered and the speed was slightly sluggish, the second round of fire salvo began again.
"Bang bang bang! ……”
The gunfire was loud, the embers flew away, and more than 4,500 firebolts were fired, and more than 4,500 lead bullets roared out, causing more than 800 casualties to the paramilitary soldiers because they were getting closer and closer.
The paramilitary formation suddenly became more and more chaotic, and the speed of the impact became less and less, and the original fanatical and bloodthirsty expressions on the faces of those paramilitary soldiers who rushed to the front began to fade, and many people showed extremely frightened expressions, because they didn't know when such a bad luck would befall them.
The monks, who were monitoring behind the formation, saw that their own soldiers were in the dense concentration of fire of the Tang army, and before they could reach the firing range, they began to be confused and shaken, and the speed and strength of the impact were greatly reduced, and they couldn't help but be angry again.
Damn, two volleys disrupted my own formation, these death-fearing ghosts are really useless, and they really disgrace my Dzungar Empire.
"Give it all to Lao Tzu! Rush up and fight the Tang Army to the end! Don't fucking act like you haven't had enough to eat! The monk's eyes were blood-red, and he roared with his sword.
After the monk scolded sharply, he ordered his guards to step forward to supervise the formation, reorganize the formation, and force these quasi-army soldiers, who were driven to be no different from pigs and sheep, to continue to rush forward, attack the place of the shield, and go to fight the Tang army in hand-to-hand combat.
However, after a little thought, the monk added another sentence at the end: "When the whole army is attacking, spread out on the spot, and the shield-bearer stands at the front to reduce the damage of the Tang army's shooting as much as possible." ”
"Order!"
Unexpectedly, although the quasi-army rushed several times, and after losing more than 1,000 corpses, it was still difficult to get close to the Tang army's main formation, and the monks had no choice but to order them to stay where they were, scatter the formation, and wait for the arrival of the rear army.
On the other side, the Tang Army's sixth town soldiers and horses, so Bijian is the vanguard of the army, the number of soldiers and horses is indeed limited, considering that the enemy army still has reinforcements have not arrived, it is necessary to be cautious, then the Tang Army commander Liu Guoneng also ordered the whole army to be on alert and prepared, waiting for the arrival of the Tang Army's large army.
When the Tang army continued to fight, the envoys sent by the monk had already rushed back to the rear of the soldiers and horses, and went to the rear of the soldiers and horses, Etuoke Zaisang Chechen emergency rescue.
After listening to the envoy's report, the face of the rear army commander Chechen turned white, and fine sweat quickly broke out from his forehead.
Chechnya is Batur's nephew, has always been known not for his bravery in battle, but for his carefulness and prudence, so this expedition, the king of the Dzungar Khanate Batur made Chechnya the commander of the rear army, and at the same time responsible for the grain and grass and baggage of the whole army, which can be regarded as a wise person.
Unexpectedly, this expedition, before arriving in Kashgar, but met the Tang army halfway, and suddenly had to fight such an unprepared encounter, the front army has been wiped out, then, the cousin monk who has always been arrogant and conceited, will really be the opponent of the Tang army who has been in battle for a long time?
It seems that there is no need to ask this question at all.
It is conceivable that under the premise of not having enough troops, the more than 100,000 Chinese soldiers and horses of the monk are afraid that they will be the opponents of the Tang army.
Now, there is only one way for me to hurry up and reinforce the Sangha.
Otherwise, if this prince hangs here, or has a big defeat, he, the general of the rear army, will be considered to be the end.
Therefore, Chechnya almost did not hesitate to give an order, so that the more than 50,000 soldiers and horses of the rear army, except for more than 10,000 soldiers who were left behind, stayed in place to take care of the heavy grain and grass, and the remaining 40,000 soldiers and horses immediately rushed with him to reinforce the monks and ensure the victory of the battle.
Chechnya, with more than 40,000 reinforcements, hurriedly crossed the river and finally reached the battlefield after the sixth round of firing of the Tang army began.
Originally, when he saw his soldiers, he was killed by the Tang army in the distance, but he was helpless, but he was helpless, and when he saw these reinforcements finally coming, the ecstasy in his heart was difficult to describe in words.
And at the same time, the remaining 50,000 soldiers were also ready, ready to accept orders and go into battle.
Wow, in this embarrassing moment of waiting to be beaten, I finally waited for enough reinforcements, so I should quickly organize a counterattack.
"Rush! Give it all to Lao Tzu! If anyone doesn't rush, they will be killed! ”
The monk shouted angrily, "The dog is in! The Tang army fired a few volleys, and they disrupted you, what is the use of Lao Tzu raising you such a waste! The more afraid you are, the faster you die, all for Lao Tzu! Rushing to engage the Tang army in hand-to-hand combat is victory! ”
Whether it is the troops who originally resisted hard, or the soldiers and horses who have newly entered the battlefield, they all know that they have no choice, and they know that the only way to survive is to rush to the front of the Tang army as soon as possible and engage the Tang army in hand-to-hand combat, so that they can no longer set fire, and the only way to save their lives is to save their lives.
As a result, the quasi-soldiers still stared at the blood-red eyes and rushed forward with shouts, and the Tang army's firearms were also ruthlessly fired one after another, and in this distance of only about a hundred paces, the quasi-soldiers kept wailing and falling.
Because of the reinforcements to join, with the large number of people, without fear of death, they desperately advanced, and finally arrived about dozens of steps away from the long shield formation, at this time, in the Tang army array, those more than 2,000 Tang army auxiliaries who had been holding on to the ground, have used their strength to eat, the burning individual soldier in their hands shook the sky, and threw it hard towards the rolling quasi-army formation.
Bang bang! ……”
Dozens of steps away, the deafening sound of continuous explosions resounded into one piece, almost bursting people's eardrums, the dazzling golden firelight, in the large cloud of suffocating whistle smoke from time to time, broken limbs and blood in the air burst out in all directions, screams one after another, the scene was like a bloody hell.
The Tang Army's unexpected earth-shattering thunder bombardment can be described as a fatal blow to the soldiers of the quasi-army.
These fragments had a killing radius of more than ten paces for individual soldiers to shake the sky, and the killing effect on the quasi-army soldiers was very terrifying.
More than 1,600 of the 2,000 single-hand-to-hand earth-shattering thunderbolts were thrown out in a dense manner, killing more than 3,000 quasi-soldiers in an instant, and countless people were wounded.
Many people's ears have been shaken to the point of deafness, and they are stunned in place, not knowing what to do next.
For a time, the formation of the quasi-army 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 flying in all directions, and as many as a thousand paramilitary soldiers who had no time to retreat and disperse, and they were killed in an instant.
Immediately after that, another third round of throwing began.
And when the earth-shattering thunder was mighty, the 5,000 flint guns were fired in unison, and the dense gunfire and the deafening explosions were mixed with each other, deafening, and did not stop for a moment.
In the face of such a powerful firearm attack of the Tang army, in the face of this violent massacre that was almost absolute death, most of the quasi-armies who rushed into battle with flesh and blood, only ten steps away from the shield array, and in this place almost close to the Tang army, finally many quasi-armies completely collapsed.
The big approval army threw away their weapons one after another, turned around and fled in tears, like a group of pigs who didn't care about their stomachs, and there was no organization and discipline, everyone was desperately retreating and running, lest they fall behind, and they would become the ghosts of the Tang army.
The monk was furious, and personally went out to kill the rout, and finally suppressed the rout.
Finally, after paying heavy casualties, the rest of the quasi-army, extremely lucky and almost subconsciously, rushed to the front of the Tang army's big shield.
It's just that before they had time to wave the weapons in their hands, a large number of Tang Army spearmen with complete armor and sharp steel spears could not hold it back, and they used all their strength to use the 4-meter stainless steel spears that had been gaining momentum for a long time to stab at these chaotic and low quasi-soldiers in formation.
A 4-meter-long stainless steel spear with a sharp and terrifying three-edged blood groove head stabbed at the quasi-army soldiers who were fleeing for their lives 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 quasi-soldiers screamed again and again, constantly struggling and falling to their deaths.
The Tang army killed extremely fiercely, and some quasi-sergeants began to retreat and flee again.
"Don't run away! If there are escapees, kill them! Seeing that the seeing side was already close to the Tang army, but the formation was in such a chaotic situation, the monk was furious, he gritted his teeth and ordered fiercely, "Go, kill all those who escaped from the battle!" ”
A large number of cavalry guards roared away, slashing and slaughtering the routs who had managed to escape to the rear, killing the poor fellows with great sorrow and screaming.
Under the strong suppression of the monks, the quasi-army soldiers began to restore order, and they rushed over quickly without fear of death like crazy beasts, and began to make a strong impact on the Tang army's gun and shield battle array.
Because the enemy had arrived in front of the battle, in order to avoid killing or injuring their own people, the Tang army auxiliaries had to retreat together with the musketeers, but at this time in the battle, they had already killed and wounded more than 10,000 quasi-soldiers together with the musketeers, and the efficiency was amazing.
More brutal and bloody hand-to-hand combat has officially begun.
Above the shield wall as solid as a city wall, spears flew up and down, like a roaring poisonous dragon, constantly piercing the head, neck and chest of the quasi-soldiers, and the sharp and strong three-edged steel spear heads, like the claws of death, kept grabbing the lives of one para-soldier after another.
And at this point in the paramilitary battle, in order to save their lives and for the sake of their military achievements, everyone rushed forward more and more frantically, and the spikes of each big shield were like barbecue frogs, full of paramilitary corpses that kept coming. Fearless of death, they rushed forward with the tips and spikes of their spears and spikes, and frantically slashed and slashed the spearmen and shield soldiers of the Tang Army behind them.
Due to the fact that there were too many quasi-army troops, in the face of this dense and powerful impact, the shield wall of the Tang army finally began to loosen, and larger and larger gaps appeared, and the shield and spearmen of the Tang army also continued to fall, but as soon as someone died or fell, new soldiers immediately filled their positions, ensuring the integrity of the entire battle array.
In such a pure cold weapon fight, the army's courage, courage, organization, discipline and other key factors are extremely tested, and in these things, the Tang army is far stronger than the quasi-army.
What's more, the Tang army had a big shield for solid protection, and it was quite difficult for the quasi-army to cross the big shield to attack the shield soldiers and spearmen behind. Because of this important factor, the battle damage and death of the quasi-army were exacerbated.
After a bloody battle, the battle loss exchange ratio between the Tang army and the quasi-army was basically maintained at about 1 to 4. For the Tang army, after resisting the initial onslaught, they have begun to gain the upper hand from the stalemate.
However, the quasi-army soon relied on the superiority of troops, and the entire battle array continued to extend to both sides, and they tried to encircle the Tang army's gun and shield battle formation from both sides to achieve the effect of a joint attack on three sides
The quasi-army's intentions were quickly seen through by Liu Guoneng, the commander of the Tang Army.
He flipped the command flag in his hand, and quickly issued a military order, so that the rampant general members who had been staying on both flanks, and let these most elite heavy infantry in the Tang army go out to attack and protect the two wings.
After the military order was issued, those rampant team members who were covered with heavy armor from head to toe and everyone armed to the teeth roared loudly like a tiger coming out of the mountain and a dragon descending into the sea, waving heavy weapons such as tiger knives, tiger spears, long-handled pick knives, and Houbei army sickles, jumping into the wings of the quasi-army, slashing and killing.
These most elite hoplites in the Tang Army, they were like miniature tanks, in the unprepared quasi-military formation, rampage, as if entering a no-man's land. They slashed mercilessly, slashing and screaming everywhere they went.
On the contrary, under the fierce attack of the Tang army's rampant members, the quasi-army in front of them continued to scream and fall, and the entire formation began to retreat.
Seeing his own soldiers, the strength was still twice that of the Tang Army, but in such a stalemate battle, he could not have the slightest upper hand, but began to gradually decline and be chaotic. The monks watching the battle in the back were angry and anxious.
Damn, you can't fight with all your might!
He was like a fierce wolf, shouting loudly at Chechnya who was watching the battle: "Chechnya obeys the order, you will bring 40,000 reinforcements from the rear army, and attack from both ends, and you must defeat these Tang heavy infantry in one fell swoop!" ”
Chechen's heart trembled, and he gritted his teeth and replied loudly: "Obey!" ”
