In the first battle of Wuxuetang, it was the infantry soldiers and horses who attacked the fortress, and it was impossible for the cavalry to attack the city in that terrain. Therefore, most of the guards and horses patrolled the outer streets, and they did not witness the brutality of the siege. The generals and commanders who had seen the battle deliberately concealed the matter. Because they will not grow the prestige of others and destroy their own ambition. If you brag about your opponent, it will have an impact on your morale. This is actually the norm in the military. Before the battle, it was impossible to tell the soldiers how powerful and fierce the other side was. Moreover, these generals and commanders also looked down on the soldiers and horses of the Guards Infantry Division from their hearts. They believe that those people in the Infantry Division are a rabble, and the strength of the other party is caused by the weakness of the Infantry Division, and there is nothing worth learning from this battle. If it were his own soldiers and horses, he would be as powerful as a bamboo, and it would not be possible to fight so fiercely.

Therefore, based on this kind of thinking, when chasing Lin Jue and others, the vast majority of generals and soldiers in the chasing army thought that this was an opportunity to make meritorious contributions. There was no fear of the hundreds of people under Lin Jue. They faced the warnings of some people in the army with ridicule and ridicule. They certainly weren't mentally prepared for defeat either. When they suffered a series of defeats before, they generally believed that it was not how strong the opponent's soldiers and horses were, but that the opponent's tricks had succeeded. In this head-to-head battle, many people had the idea of being ashamed, and under the strict order and heavy reward, they were all brave, and everyone was fighting for the first, regardless of everything.

But at this moment, they finally realized how ridiculous their thoughts were, and they were stunned by the chaotic hellish scene of the bloody flesh flying on the battlefield, the soldiers and horses falling like stubbles and leeks, the roaring firearms and the flying flesh and blood.

Commander Zhao ...... This...... I'm afraid it won't work. The opponent's firearms are so ferocious, the humble suggestion ......," one of the generals whispered.

"You dare! Whoever dared to retreat, Lao Tzu cut off his head. Rush me! Zhao Degang's eyes were red, he yelled, and at the same time he personally rode his horse, did not retreat, but advanced, and rushed to the battlefield.

The cavalrymen were panting with their mouths open, and the hot air and the scene of flesh and blood flying made them almost suffocate. All they had in their ears was their own heavy gasps, and their brains were numb. The Lord will lead the charge and despair those who are willing to retreat. They knew that there was no possibility of retreat, so they gritted their teeth and continued to charge.

Stubble after stubble, the cavalry rushed forward numbly. They were greeted not by hymns to heroes who were not afraid of death, but by the merciless shrappels and blood-colored smoke and dust.

Zhao Degang, who was red-eyed, had lost his mind, and under his strict orders, the cavalry died in rows. By the end, the corpses piled up in front of the battle were like a hill, and the horses could not rush through. Zhao Degang was still shouting to attack, but found that there was no one around him. Except for the three hundred horsemen of his own personal guard, the rest were struggling and moaning in the sea of corpses and blood in front of them.

In the opposite formation, Lin Jue sat on the war horse with a resolute expression, and there was even a hint of cruelty at the corner of his mouth. He didn't want to kill so many people, but the other party's charge that was not afraid of death would never allow them to succeed, and when they rushed closer, it would be a scuffle, and then it was himself and his brother who were on the spot.

The firearm has been cooled down several times, and before the battle, Lin Jue asked everyone to prepare a small bucket of water, and once the firearm was hot, he immediately poured water on the barrel to cool down to ensure that it could be fired continuously. Even so, there were still firearms that could not withstand this continuous firing at all, and the barrel burst under the stimulation of high temperature and water cooling, and such things happened four times, injuring more than a dozen brothers around. But this is no longer relevant to the whole war. Thousands of people on the other side had all fallen in front, and the bodies of the piled up men and horses were already more than half a man tall, so that the opposing cavalry seemed to have climbed over a hill when they charged. Climb the corpse mountain and become a member of the corpse mountain and the sea of blood. Obviously, the other party is no longer able to rush over.

Zhao Degang stared blankly at the piled up corpses and wounded soldiers and horses in front of him, most of the soldiers were not fatal when they were hit by iron bullets, but they were trapped in the corpses in vain, some were crushed to death, and they couldn't climb out at all. About thirty paces wide and thirty paces long, this area was a bloody mass of flesh.

"Lu Xiang ordered that Commander Zhao should not attack and immediately retreat. Lü Xiang said that Ling tried to find a way to attack, and Zhao Commander could no longer take the lives of soldiers to die. One of the guards sped up and ordered loudly.

Zhao Degang muttered, "This is defeated? How many of my 4,000 cavalry are left, less than a thousand? In less than half an hour? I didn't get close to the other party's hundreds of people? Didn't even kill an opponent? ”

"Commander Zhao, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and the firearms are so ferocious, Lu Xiang didn't expect it. Let's retreat. "The guard.

"Nope! I, Zhao Degang, have just been able to get to today, and I am also a person who has experienced a lot, and I can't believe the facts in front of me. It's just a few hundred people, and I'm defeated. What kind of face does this make me stand on, and what face do I have to explain to the court and Yang Shumi? I am not reconciled and go on the offensive, what about the rest of the cavalry? We still have more than 10,000 cavalry, so give me an order to let them enter the town at once and charge. Kill all the bastards. Zhao Degang shouted loudly.

All the people around him looked at him with idiot-like eyes, this person is afraid that he is crazy and wants to attack? If you want someone else to die, isn't it crazy?

"You attack me, I take the lead." Zhao Degang ordered loudly.

The guards and some of the cavalry around him looked at each other, and no one spoke. Zhao Degang yelled: "What? Do you dare to disobey? ”

An adjutant general said in a deep voice: "Lu Xiang ordered to evacuate, and Commander Zhao did not disobey Lu Xiang's order." The lowly rank cannot attack, otherwise it will be disobeying Lu Xiang's order, and Commander Zhao should calm down. ”

"Bastard, bastard. You're all afraid of death, but I'm not afraid. Okay, don't you dare, I'll charge alone. ”

As he spoke, Zhao Degang urged the horses, raised his long knife, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Kill!" ”

Then he really rode his horse and rushed forward. His horse's hooves stepped over the bubbling blood on the ground, stepped on the flesh like minced flesh, and the iron hooves stepped on the head of a soldier on the slope of the corpse who had not yet died, and the soldier died immediately with a muffled snort, and then Zhao Degang rushed to the top of the corpse mountain.

"Boom!" After a bang, Zhao Degang's chest was full of blood holes, and the head and face of the war horse were also hit by more than a dozen iron bullets. The man and the horse shook for a moment, and then fell with a bang. The war horse rolled down with a wail, and Zhao Degang's feet were hooked on the stirrups and dragged down. He tried to break free, but he was already weak. His chest and lungs had been pierced, and he was already unable to live. At the last moment, he experienced the power of a firearm for himself, and realized the power of this thing. But it was too late.

Lu Zhongtian stomped his feet and scolded in the rear, but he was helpless. This Zhao Degang's temper is very stubborn, and he actually rushed forward alone, how is this different from sending him to death? But if you put yourself in his shoes, you can understand his feelings. Thinking about Zhao Degang, as the deputy commander of the guard Ma Army, Ma Junsi also belongs to a first-class position among the soldiers and horses of the Great Zhou, how arrogant and proud he is on weekdays. Today, after repeated setbacks, tens of thousands of cavalry could not help the enemy's hundreds of opponents, and they were already disgraced. This final head-to-head confrontation made all Zhao Degang's pride and conceit turn into guilt and shamelessness.

This defeat will become a stain on his life in the future, and it will never be erased. So how could he be willing? In this case, he naturally wants to desperately save face, or this act of sending him to death is also his last pride. In this way, he completed his illustrious career as a horseman, choosing death over retreat. To a certain extent, this is also Zhao Degang's blood, and it is also one of the reasons why he is at the top of the army.

Lu Zhongtian didn't have time to think about it, so he immediately rang the gold three times and ordered the troops to be withdrawn. He also understood that attacking in this way was obviously impossible to shake the other party. The power of the opponent's firearms is terrifying, and it is absolutely impossible to attack in this way. To go head-to-head with them on such a narrow long street is actually to fall for the other party. Lin Jue's guy is thoughtful, this is actually the third trap after the tripping horse and the fire attack. It's just that this third trap seems to be an opportunity, but it is actually more insidious and vicious than the first two. Lin Jue must know very well that he would never lose this kind of frontal battle on the long street. That's why he took the initiative to come up with this seemingly opportune and even somewhat stupid head-to-head strategy.

So far, Lu Zhongtian no longer dares to be careless. He found that relying on his own skills and the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command really couldn't shake Lin Jue. So he made up his mind to rush back to the capital, and let Guo Xu give an order to mobilize more soldiers and horses and good generals to come over and encircle and suppress Lin Jue and others, instead of fighting here himself. If this continues, the responsibility for this failure will have to be borne by oneself.

When Lin Jue and the others rode away, Lu Zhongtian had no chance to send cavalry to pursue them. Instead, he ordered the battlefield to be cleaned up and camped on the spot. At the same time, he sent messengers to convey his orders. He wanted to mobilize troops from Ruzhou, Caizhou, Tangzhou, Dengzhou and other places to assemble and encircle and suppress, and to encircle and kill Lin Jue and others with absolute superiority in troops. After that, he wanted to return to the capital immediately, and this time he wanted Yang Jun to personally go out and lead troops to reinforce and suppress Lin Jue and others. It's better to let Yang Jun do this kind of thing, I thought about things too easily before, but I didn't expect this Lin Jue to be so difficult, this is my own imprudentness. Let Yang Jun gnaw on this piece of hard flesh.
