Chapter 119: Asymmetrical War
The strong self-confidence of the Nanyang Army is not blindly obtained because of the bravery of a single person, but because they have all understood in a simple lesson in Palembang that the strength of an army comes from the strength of everyone working together, and the trust of each other in each other, so it is strong.
And now, when Zhanbei is 9,000 to 20,000, the local city is gathered to defend, and the results of their own side breaking through the city are in front of them, they have also begun to fantasize about how strong the group they belong has become.
It is also for this reason that even if the most powerful army of the most powerful country in the South Seas is to be faced next, everyone is slightly nervous, but more fanatical and cautious rushed over.
Look around, everyone is there!
And the cooperation on the battlefield has been done as early as the training on the Yangtze River in his hometown. During the two or three days of marching, even the lowest soldiers of the Nanyang Army chewed on dozens of possible situations in their hearts.
When that army arrived, Gong Haijiang rushed forward as scheduled, and his position was in the back row of the giant blades. In the rear, the fighters of the special regiment quickly opened the boxes and began to arrange, and more people from the rear poured up and began to shrink the entire column.
The Guards changed the direction of the attack, and Gong Haijiang and the others also ran and changed the direction. Even with the deduction of changing formations, Gong Haijiang still held the spear in his hand tightly and put on an impeccable posture facing the enemy.
“…… The situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, if there is a problem in the rear and you can't change the formation, can you, as the front, retreat? Do you have the confidence to face the Guards when the support provided by your companions behind you cannot defeat them? Do you rely on your companions, or do you rely on yourself!? ”
This is something that the people above have repeatedly emphasized in the course of a few days of deduction. Everyone is also mentally prepared, and at the same time, they are confident that there is no one who is instigated in this military formation. Even if they don't change their formation, they are confident that they will provoke the Koshari people, because only by overthrowing them is the only way out!
Standing in the second row, a huge military formation has been formed, and in the field of vision, the existence of individuals is insignificant and indescribable.
Ahead, the Guards of Nakshari rolled in like a wave. The formation of tens of thousands of people stretched out for hundreds of feet, constantly speeding up, like a huge wall, shaking the field.
"Five steps back, squat." The sound of the generals behind him shouting orders one after another sounded in his ears.
Together with the first row of giant blademen, a total of five rows of swordsmen and spearmen took five steps back in unison, and then crouched.
"Prepare for battle!"
"Prepare for battle!"
A tidal wave of cheers rang out, and from the sixth to the tenth row, all the Nanyang soldiers raised their guns in dense layers.
"Ying Qi."
"Knock, knock, knock!"
The drums of war sounded, and as the flags of the Chinese army were raised, the flags of the front, back, left and right armies shook and echoed.
In the Nanyang Army, the flag language is much the same. There are also detailed differences, and the method of raising the flag of the Nanyang Army is to follow the banner order of the Gan Army. Raising the red flag means that the front army is on standby. Raise the black flag, and the rear army is on standby. Raise the green flag, and the left wing is on standby. Raise the white flag, and the right wing is on standby. Raise the yellow flag, and the Chinese army is on standby. The five flags are raised together, and the whole army is on standby, which way the flag goes, and where the whole army goes.
"Test the gun."
"Test the gun."
The voices of the artillery captains came one after another.
Gong Haijiang's blood was churning in his body as if it were burning, and the order to retreat came, he grabbed his spear, turned around and rushed out with the queue, and then crouched down, something flew high above their heads.
"Defeat the Bactrian and occupy Sumatra."
Seeing the waves of shouts coming from the side of the Great Xia Army, the Keshali Guards were not to be outdone, but they didn't have the ability to wave the flag to echo. Recognize the Drum Order.
As the shouts of the positions of the Chinese army sounded, "Defeat the Bactrian and occupy Sumatra." The chanting continued. The shouts of tens of thousands of allied troops of various ethnic groups in Nanyang, mainly Keshali, finally converged. There were so many of them that it seemed that the entire land of Pingchuan was their shouting.
"Or!"
Countless short, dark-faced, Western-style monolithic iron bandits raised their spears feverishly in response, as long as they defeated the main force of the Nanyang Army, they could turn around and attack the bustling Palembang. If you conquer Palembang, you can move freely in Palembang City for three days.
If the city is broken, needless to say, everyone will have enough to eat and drink, and they can also get a large number of dazzling wealth and silk children, why don't you let these bandits be tempted?
Seeing the cheers of the bandits, the sky was like the sky was cracking, and with their shouts, the spears in the distance rose in waves like a sea of forests, the tide of the sea of people.
Artillery Captain's Office in the former army position.
"Put!"
The guns had been adjusted, and with Zhao Xuan's shout, a six-pounder cannon shook violently, and the muzzle of the cannon erupted with fierce fire, and thick smoke rose from it. The strong recoil force made both the two-wheeled gun mounts take a big step back.
In the deafening sound of artillery, a round iron ball weighing five catties smashed viciously into the formation.
The tidal cheers stopped abruptly, and all the thieves looked in the direction where the cannonball was flying.
like the wind blows ears of wheat. Around the radius where the shell landed, there was a big commotion in the Tukou array. The Tukou soldiers who felt that the shell would fall on their heads even ran away, whether he was an officer or an ordinary soldier.
The shell smashed into the Guards array at the front of the intruder, although the soldiers scattered like a tide at the landing point. But cannonballs can run and jump.
The cannonball jumped up and down, rushed dozens of paces, took with it the head of one man, the arms of two people, and the thighs and calves of many people, opened a bloody path, and scurried for a long time, before finally stopping, leaving behind a long and mournful howl of blood and wailing.
Looking at the miserable appearance of the people around them, there was a commotion in the formation of those bandits, many of them were like earthy faces, running around like headless flies, and with just one shell, all the morale of these guards had been lost.
Sharif saw it clearly, and couldn't help but turn pale: "What is this, how did their catapult hit so far?" Why isn't it a stone? ”
Before he could come to his senses, the sound of all the Tukou soldiers scattering was heard again, this time not a single cannon shot, but a lot of noises. The whistling sound of cannonballs sounded, and more than fifty large and small iron balls came again in the face, and they landed in the array of the Keshali army, smashing and rolling everywhere, hitting those turtles crying and crying for their mothers, just running around.
The front army array, which has not been formed, has almost been defeated, and it is useless to let the officers suppress it, Kesha is like earth in it, and muttered: "Can the battle still be fought like this?" ”
