Chapter 58: Collapse (2nd Update, Asking for Support)

Feel relieved!

Can you rest assured?

Perhaps! Although he was a little nervous in his heart, Tu Hai still chose to believe Xie Peng's judgment, after all, the range of the nine-jin cannon was there, and the infantry of the Ming army did not have heavier field artillery.

Like Tuhai, those Qing troops standing in line on the wilderness were all standing there, looking at the closer and closer shells, in the eyes of these soldiers, they had long been accustomed to the picture of this nine-pound shell flying over the battlefield, and it could even be said that they had become accustomed to it. The speed of this kind of shell drops very quickly, especially after flying a long distance, it seems that its flight speed is very slow, and even makes people feel that they can catch it as long as they reach out, in fact, this is an illusion, if the soldier who does not open his eyes can not avoid the shell even if the momentum is close to exhaustion, it will be "blown up", in fact, it should be "smashed" to the flesh, and it is impossible to survive at all.

And now, these shells are so, so slowly, that everybody thinks that the cannonball can't hit them, indeed, four and a half miles, this distance is safe enough.

"This group of bright dogs, that is, a cannon battle......"

Just when Tong Linha was shouting like this, suddenly, the cannonball that was dragging smoke trails in the air exploded violently.

"Haha, force ......"

Before Tong Linha's laughter fell, there was a "whoosh" sound in his ears, and at the same time, he saw hundreds of black dots falling from the sky like raindrops.

He didn't even have time to scream when a finger-thick buckshot hit his head, shattering his head in an instant. Those Qing troops who originally only felt that the shells could not fall on their heads were instantly enveloped by this "lead rain".

"My God......"

Not to mention the Qing army, even when the Ming army here saw the tragic situation of the Qing army, they were also stunned, looking at the Qing army's position four miles away from the telescope, Lin Yunping's whole person was stunned, although because of the distance, he couldn't see it clearly, but he could vaguely see that the Qing army's phalanx had changed, and the Qing army's surroundings would be like a burst of dust rising from thousands of horses galloping, which was the dust stirred up when the projectile landed, in that dusty flying, A faint red mist of blood could be seen rising, and the blood mist and yellow dust could be seen.

The Qing army, which was shrouded in a rain of bullets, of course, would not sit still, and the originally neat team was in chaos at the moment when it was shrouded in the rain of bullets, and almost everyone scattered in all directions, trying to avoid the bullets that fell from the air, but they could not rush out at all, and the thousands of shotguns falling from their heads completely enveloped them in this lead rain.

"Run...... Ah......h

In the midst of the torrential rain of lead, there were more screams of terror than screams, and they tried to flee around, but the lead bullets in the air with a slight swishing sound fell on their heads like eyes.

Almost in the air exploded a cloud of white smoke, when hundreds of lead pellets fell, Xie Peng whipped the horse in horror and fled backwards, of course, when he fled, he did not forget his master, and dragged his master to flee backwards.

Tuhai, who had fled to the rear, stopped and looked back only to see corpses everywhere on the ground, and between the corpses, there were hundreds of wounded soldiers among the corpses, dragging stumps and broken arms and screaming there. Even after a long time on the battlefield, Tu Hai had never experienced such a miserable scene, he grabbed Xie Peng and roared angrily.

"Xie Peng, you dog minion, tell me what the hell is going on!"

And Xie Peng was also at a loss, muttering in his lips.

"This, how is this possible, how can it be like this......"

In fact, although Xie Peng received artillery training from the Loyal and Righteous Army, he did not know that in the artillery shells of the Loyal and Righteous Army, in addition to solid bullets, explosive shells, grape shells, and shotguns, there is also a kind of artillery shell that is a howitzer shotgun, compared with the explosive bomb that can only explode a dozen fragments, it is the same hollow iron ball as the grenade, containing 82 buckshot bullets of seven coins and 3.5 taels of gunpowder. If the fuse is set accurately, it is more powerful, and the gunpowder in the shrapnel only blows up the shell of the shell, and its energy can only slightly change the direction of the projectile's flight, so the projectile will not scatter after the shrapnel explodes, but will continue to fly forward after scattering, killing and injuring the enemy in the sector area in front, and its power is almost equivalent to the firing of an infantry squad.

And the 48 grenades fired by 48 nine-pound guns, although less than 7 percent of the shells exploded in the air, they were still equivalent to a salvo of all the guns of an infantry battalion.

And in that burst of miserable screams, another cloud of white smoke exploded in the air in front of their position, and the thousands of projectiles, like a violent wind, fanned out, enveloping those Qing troops who could not escape, and those war horses that were running were stumbling on the ground as if they were tripping over a rope when they were hit, and they fell to the ground violently, letting out bursts of miserable neighing.

At this time, there was no other sound on the battlefield, all people could hear was the screams of the wounded soldiers, unlike the others who fled backwards in horror, Bam did not flee that far, after dodging the first round of bullets, he almost ran all the way to the tombstone, and then directly attached his body to the tombstone, he could not move He could hear the sound of the lead constantly hitting the tombstone, and the occasional stone chips broken by the bullet would fall on his head, and at the same time, he saw those who fled backwards, One by one, they fell to the ground, and they couldn't even scream.

Suddenly, he saw an acquaintance and immediately shouted loudly.

"Qing Lao Liu, come to my ......"

Qing Lao Liu, who was originally dragging the fire gun and running wildly, saw where Bam was hiding, and immediately ran over, but only ran a few steps, his leg seemed to be sawn off, and a cloud of blood mist flew out violently, and the person fell, and before he even fell, his body was hit by a few bullets, and then he fell to the ground heavily, without screaming, without groaning, and just died.

Like a wild dog that has been killed......

Trumpet......

Suddenly, something fell from his shoulder, and Bam took it, and when he took it in his hand, he could even feel the heat that came out of it, it was a marble that had hit the tombstone and had been badly deformed.

The original spherical marble has turned into a lead cake, exuding a little warmth.

If this lead hits a person's body, it will definitely become like this, holding this "lead cake" in his hand, and Bam's eyes are fixed on this ...... Slaughterhouse.

It was a slaughterhouse, because all of them were like pigs, just letting the bullets fall on them, and there was no room for resistance, and under their feet was the dust that rose from the lead on the ground, and it was yellow dust and smoke. And their upper bodies were shrouded in a red blood mist, which was the blood mist that burst out when the bullet hit the body.

Yellow and red are mixed together, this fog is so weird, but it makes people so frightened, even looking at it, Bam only feels that his crotch is wet, and people are frightened and incontinent.

After the second round of artillery fire, looking at the Qing army formation that had been completely destroyed, Xu Dayong's face already showed a bright smile,

"Cavalry...... Offensive! ”

Now, it's time to attack!

The Ming army has attacked!

Almost when he saw the cavalry of the Ming army fighting out from the left flank of its infantry and rushing towards this side, Tu Hai's mind was not to fight, but to flee!

Although he had 2,000 cavalry in his hands, although he still had more than 1,000 infantry, when the artillery position of the Ming army was once again shrouded in the smoke of gunpowder, Tu Hai knew that it was now impossible to do it.

"Withdraw!"

Despite his reluctance, Tuhai still shouted loudly.

"Withdraw immediately! From the pontoon! ”

Pontoon!

In fact, when he was ordered to block the Ming army here, Tu Hai had already thought of a retreat for himself, the Nitrate River was not wide, and the river was not in a hurry, which made it easy for him to use the boat requisitioned from the river to build a pontoon bridge, originally, he wanted to bite the other party fiercely here, and then immediately retreated, as long as the Ming army bitten the pain, they naturally would no longer stare at him,

But now, it was not the Ming army who was bitten, but him!

If he didn't retreat, he wouldn't even be able to escape......

Even, there is no need for Tuhai to order, this will already be someone fleeing in the direction of the pontoon bridge, compared to the attack, the speed of escape, whether it is cavalry or infantry, they now only have one thought left - escape!

It must not fall into the hands of the loyal and righteous army, and if it falls into their hands, it is necessary to build a view of Beijing!

"The Qing army has fled!"

Looking at the scene in front of him, Lin Yunping almost couldn't believe what he saw, but with three rounds of artillery, and even the infantry didn't have time to fire in a hurry, the battle was basically over.

"Do you want to pursue?"

Putting down the gaze in his hand, in the face of Lin Yunping's inquiry, Xu Dayong just asked casually.

"Can you catch up with the cavalry?"

There must be a certain degree of difficulty in this, after all, horsepower is limited.

"Command, after the cavalry team has been charged for four miles, half of the horsepower has been consumed, and it is difficult to catch up with the opponent's cavalry, and the cavalry of the Qing army is several times that of me, if you pursue, it is easy to be bitten back, I think that the cavalry will directly intercept the infantry of the Qing army by diagonally, so that one of its ......fingers can be cut off."

Lin Yunping's answer made Xu Dayong nod with satisfaction, this was exactly the answer he needed, and then smiled.

"In that case, don't you give the order yet?"

The order was given through the smoke bombs launched into the air through the signal tube, and when several smoke bombs dragged the smoke trails through the air, the cavalry that was originally attacking immediately aimed at the infantry of the Qing army, wielding their sabers and killing those infantry like tigers descending the mountain...... 8)
