【118】Decisive Battle Thirty Mile Pu (4)

Originally, Song Youliang planned to use the traditional three-round shooting pattern, that is, the first team retreated after firing, and the second team stepped forward, and the second team fired and then the third team stepped forward. But considering the tactical literacy of the soldiers and the inconvenience of coming and going in a small and crowded space. In the end, it was absolutely decided that only one person was responsible for firing the gun at a time, and the others were responsible for loading. After fifty shots were fired, the shooter and loader swapped.

There was no wind today, so after a few salvos, the shooter was already filled with gunsmoke, and he couldn't see the opponent's figure at all, so he could only put the gun on the rejecting horse and guess that he kept firing at a similar height.

It was a long time before a gust of wind swept across the battlefield and blew away the smoke, and it was only then that the musketeers realized that the first line of rejection had been destroyed by less than forty percent, but that the sides of the rejection had been piled up with dense corpses. The intruders had long since fled to a place far enough out of the range of muskets and artillery.

Li Zicheng saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart, Niu Jinxing, who was a military advisor, came up with a clever plan for Li Zicheng at this moment that he thought he was smart - to break the cauldron and sink the boat, fight against the water, and put him to death and come back to life

In fact, this way of fighting to the death may not be tried, if it is a united, morale-strong, courageous army, it is very likely to inspire their survival instinct to fight to the death. But if the army is unstable at this time, then the consequences can be catastrophic

Li Zicheng accepted Niu Jinxing's suggestion and ordered Li Mou, who was in charge of logistics, to set about this major event that would determine the fate of the entire army - destroying the more than 1,000 rafts that were originally intended to be used to cross the river

The battle ahead was still fierce, and seeing the soldiers retreating timidly, Tian Jianxiu, Yuan Zongdi, Liu Zongmin and others immediately transferred archers, and fired a burst of arrows at the retreating soldiers. Two volleys, killing thousands of defeated soldiers. The form of the retreat improved slightly, and Tian Jianxiu, Yuan Zongdi, and Liu Zongmin personally took up their swords and mounted their horses, driving the intruders to attack the high ground again

Suddenly, a dark cloud floated in the originally clear sky, and this large area of dark clouds that could not be seen could be seen like a torrent from the low sky in the east, but a pillar of incense rolled into the sky above Thirty Lipu in time. Suddenly there was a darkness in the ground. Dark clouds pressed on the top, and a strong wind suddenly blew in the mountains, and the wind was filled with gunsmoke and blood in the battlefield.

"God help me~~ God help me too~~" Li Zicheng roared excitedly: "The heavy rain is coming, once it rains, the firearms of the officers and soldiers will all become decorations." Ordered the three armies~~~ Hit me hard~~" Li Zicheng rode on horseback and danced with his hands

The opposing sides were urgently dispatching troops before the storm approached. A silver snake-like lightning suddenly burst out of the dark clouds, causing everyone to raise their eyes and subconsciously look at the place where the lightning had disappeared, and then the deafening thunder seemed to explode the entire sky

"Brothers~~ The heavy rain is coming, and the firearms of the officers and soldiers are going to be dumb~~ Everyone is rushing with me~~" Liu Zongmin was also excited as if he had been beaten with rooster blood, he took off his helmet and put it high on the tip of the gun, "Rush~~Kill~~~"

"Roar~~" When the soldiers saw that God had also come to help them, their morale was suddenly boosted, and they roared like madness to kill the officers and soldiers, and their momentum was overwhelming and unstoppable

A drop of water fell on the back of Song Youliang's hand, and Song Youliang looked up at the sky, only to see more raindrops falling from the sky.

The wind blew through the wilderness, making a scream of "woo-woo-". Lightning pierced the dark night, and the dull thunder was deafening like the roar of a cannon. It was dark like overturned black ink, but the tumbling clouds were faintly visible, the clouds were like the faces of monsters, and the blue-purple lightning was the monster's terrible smiling face.

Boom~~ With a burst of thunder, the raindrops of beans began to be unscrupulous and impatient to be thrown into the land of Henan, which had long been thirsty. It rained heavily, as if the gods had received a signal to pour the water of the heavenly river into the world. The Wind God's sharp arrows roared into the helpless earth, letting out bursts of triumphant cheers.

"Kill~~" The intruding soldiers, whether cavalry or infantry, rushed to the high ground desperately, and they had only one thought, which was to rush up and kill them all

Everything has two sides, the pouring rain extinguishes the firearms of the Ming army, but at the same time makes the soil soft. After being trampled by thousands of people, the soft mud turned into rotten and sticky wetlands and depressions, which made the advance of the invading army slow down imperceptibly. What's even worse is that the Ming army occupies a high place, the breaking army is in a low place, it is raining so heavily, and it has to climb the hill to attack, the difficulty can be imagined. Many of the horses under the crotches of the invading cavalry slipped their hooves when they were going uphill, and they rolled down the slope with the men and horses, and also injured many of their own brothers by the way. Some of the infantry slipped and fell headlong into the mud, and before they could get up, their bodies were constantly trampled back and forth by countless feet until they were exhausted.

The intruders stepped on the wet and slippery slope and stabbed the officers and soldiers in the feet and lower abdomen with their swords, while the officers and soldiers held their spears and stabbed them in the face and chest. Thousands of intruders crowded the dirt slopes, and those behind did not know what was happening in front of them, and only desperately pushed the people who stood in front of them. In less than a stick of incense, many intruders found that what they were stepping on was not a thin wet mud, but a disgusting "corpse mud" like rotten tomatoes.

The frenzied intruders swarmed to the high ground like summoned ants

"Resist~~Resist~" Deng Youyang shouted, and stabbed to death a soldier with a shot, the intruder still grabbed the gun with both hands, Deng Youyang let go of his hands, and the body of the intruder fell backwards suddenly, knocking over three or four intruders behind him. However, before Deng Youyang could breathe a sigh of relief, more intruders rushed up.

"Go down~~Go down~~ I'll hack you to death~~" Deng Youyang pulled out his waist knife and slashed at the intruder's head and face, while lifting his left foot and flying up and kicking on a shield used by the intruder to protect his body. The intruder stumbled, knocking down several people as he rolled down the hill. However, Deng Youyang immediately paid a lot of price, just when he kicked out, and before he could retract it, an iron spear stabbed from the diagonal and pierced into the sole of his foot

"Ah~~" Deng Youyang yelled, kicked back hard with his right foot, and several soldiers immediately came over to fill Deng Youyang's position, and at the same time set up Deng Youyang to find a military doctor.

The two officers and men who filled Deng Youyang's position had just raised their spears to stab when suddenly several iron spears stabbed from both sides, one of which directly pierced the calf of an officer and soldier. The officer and soldier were in pain, and instinctively bent down, and immediately a hooked sickle reached out, and the curved side branches hooked the back of his neck.

"Not good~" The officer raised his right hand to grab the hook sickle, trying to break free, saying that it was too late and that was fast, the other end of the hook and sickle suddenly exerted force, the officer and soldier screamed, and the whole person was hooked into the crowd of intruders. Suddenly, all kinds of weapons covered his eyes in an instant

………………

The frantic charge of the invading army at any cost was effective, and the invading soldiers broke through three rejection horses and two trenches in a row, while the officers and soldiers were retreating towards the camp little by little, and the black pressure of the human head was getting closer and closer to Song Youliang.

Song Youliang's expression was still calm, but Li Xin, who was standing beside him, could clearly hear his breathing becoming more and more rapid.

"Junmen~ Do you want to send a signal to the cavalry troops of Guangwu Mountain and Dazhou Mountain?" Li Xin asked

"What's the use of cavalry in such heavy rain?" Song Youliang was still looking straight ahead, trying to find a fighter plane from the stalemate battlefield that might be fleeting

In a slightly higher place in the lowlands, Li Zicheng and Niu Jinxing were happily watching the Chuang army become more and more brave as they fought, listening to the shouts of the Chuang Army moving all day long and racing through the thunder, Niu Jinxing, who had not eaten enough for three days, was as comfortable as a banquet with one hundred and eight dishes

"This rain is really timely rain~" Niu Jinxing smiled

"Not bad~~ It's just that if we go down like this, don't drown our camp completely~~haha~~" Li Zicheng said with a humorous smile

As the saying goes: things can be eaten indiscriminately, but words cannot be indiscriminately spoken

Before Li Zicheng's words fell, the wind in the wilderness became louder, blowing raindrops flying everywhere, hitting Li Zicheng's face, making Li Zicheng unable to open his eyes. Immediately, the sky that was originally as black as ink was pierced by several swords of sunlight, and then the raindrops began to become smaller and thinner. At the same time, more and more "sharp swords" pierced thick dark clouds. In the blink of an eye, the rain clouds that brought the pouring rain were mercilessly torn to pieces by the radiant sun.

The rain stopped

Li Zicheng slapped himself a few times, "Crow's mouth~Crow's mouth~~"

At the same time, the rumbling of artillery of officers and men rang out again. This time, the officers and men used all the firearms they had at hand. Kofilin cannons, flying thunder cannons, Furlong cannons, muskets, palm mines, wood mines, fire bricks. Countless deadly weapons slid down unscrupulously towards the heads of the intruders who were huddled together like ants

Boom~~~

The smell of gunpowder had not yet dissipated, and the smell of blood, which was so strong that it was choking, immediately drilled the nostrils domineeringly

Sludge, corpses, blood, ** flew into the air with a loud bang, and the scene was like adding cold water to hot oil

"Run for your life~~" I don't know who shouted, and this call was immediately responded to by everyone
