Chapter 734: Collapse

Three small guns of the Cossacks opened fire. www.biquge.info But the distance was too far, and Jiang Chong's men lined up in a loose formation, and the Cossack cannons using solid bullets failed to hit Jiang Chong's soldiers.

In response to these small cannons were two hundred rockets that spewed flames.

Taking advantage of the interval between the Cossacks to reload the cannons, the Tiger soldiers rushed to the 400 meters of the camp, aimed at the wall of the White Russian wall from the scope, and fired rockets. Two hundred rockets rushed towards the camp and slammed into the walls of the logs.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

Where did the Cossacks see such weapons? One by one, they were surprised and inexplicable, and took refuge in the distance of the wall.

Two hundred rockets exploded. The wall, which is more than 100 meters long, seems to have turned into a crater of lava eruption, emitting huge explosions one after another. Huge sparks one after another, and finally gathered into a large mushroom cloud on the wall, slowly rising into the sky.

The countless bright lights emitted by the explosion made it impossible for the Tiger Ben soldiers who were hundreds of meters away from looking directly. Obviously, bombarding such a short wall with 200 rockets is a bit of a knife to kill chickens.

By the time the black smoke from the explosion cleared, the frontal wall no longer existed. The original wall was full of broken logs, and the flames on the wood were burning. A little further back lay the corpses of Bai Yi on the dirt, and it was clear that the Cossacks had been slower to escape, and at least hundreds of people had been killed by the bazookas.

Three six-pounder guns were blown to pieces, the body and wheels of the gun carriage were completely shattered, and the barrels were shaken more than ten meters away by the shock wave. One of the barrels flew past and smashed a tent.

The Cossacks, who were still alive, looked at the wall, which had been completely destroyed in one fell swoop, and already had the urge to run away. The power of the bazooka salvo was terrifying, a terrifying weapon never seen by the invaders from Europe.

The leader of the Cossacks, a tall Baiyi with black braids, stepped forward. Obviously, if the Cossacks fled now, they would be pursued and slaughtered by the yellow race. The chieftain, believing that the yellow bombardment could only be fired once, shouted loudly, encouraging the Cossacks to continue their defense by relying on the facilities in the camp.

The Cossacks retreated behind firewood piles, wooden carts and tents, and prepared to continue guarding their camp with arquebuses.

However, these Baiyi are too naïve, in addition to bazookas, the Tiger Ben Army also has all kinds of terrible weapons.

Chiang Chong was not ready to waste rockets bombarding these White Russians. The cost of a rocket is tens of taels of silver, and it is not cost-effective to bomb these Cossacks. Chiang Chong repeatedly observed the arquebuses of the White Russians with a telescope, and already understood that this old weapon had a limited range.

He commanded the soldiers to approach forward, to a distance of two hundred meters from the Cossacks.

The soldiers raised their rifles with scopes and aimed them at the heads of the Cossacks, two hundred meters away. No matter how the Cossacks hid in bunkers, their heads were exposed. At this distance, the head of the Cossack appeared to be large. The ugly braids and hats on the White Russian's head are very eye-catching.

"Fire!"

Crackling gunshots rang out in the grass one man high, one after another. In the flash of fire, four hundred riflemen fired bullets from the chambers.

Blood suddenly flew in the White Russian camp. In just one moment, more than half of the White Russians were shot in the head and killed by the conical bullets of their rifles.

The Cossack leader hid behind a pile of firewood, but was still hit in the head by two bullets. One bullet went into his forehead and another in his jaw. He didn't even snort, and fell backwards to death.

In an instant, the Cossacks lost the ability to resist.

The White Russians, who were still alive, finally understood that this was an asymmetrical war, and that these yellows had far better weapons than the Cossacks. They did not dare to continue the fight, so they rushed to the horses in a panic, jumped on their horses and fled outside the camp.

When these White Russians rushed out of the evasion, a hundred people with guns ready to shoot were shot. The White Russians running at high speed were not easy to hit, but Jiang Chong's soldiers still killed dozens of White Russians.

In the end, only a few dozen Cossacks remained, and these dozens of people were already panicking to the point of no return. Dozens of people were so panicked when they rushed out of the camp that they crowded together at the door. As a result, before they could escape from the north gate of the camp, they were hit by another round of riflemen, and dozens of people fell under their horses.

Only a dozen or so managed to escape the camp and flee north.

Jiang Chong waved his hand: "Get on the horse!" After! ”

On March 15, the heavy rain had stopped for a day, but the land was still muddy. 160,000 officers and troops lined up outside the city of Song County to meet the pursuing army.

Sun Chuanting looked at the frightened officers and soldiers in the array, and frowned.

Obviously, the soldiers were all panicked because of Sun Chuanting's retreat and food arrangements, and began to think about how to live.

In recent years, the war between the official army and the thieves was treacherous, and the officers and soldiers wanted to flee and surrender to the intruding army at any time.

Among the elite of the invading army, I don't know how many thieves are officers and soldiers who surrendered. Isn't being a soldier just to eat food and get paid, officers and officers eat empty pay and drink soldiers' blood, and the life of low-level soldiers is very difficult. In the army, they were well fed and warmly dressed, and they could also loot silver when they conquered the county, which was more enjoyable than the official army.

The only reason why the officers and soldiers did not dare to join the thieves was that there was no future for being a thief. Over the years, the thief soldiers will be exterminated by the official army at any time, and no matter how powerful the thief army is, it seems that it will be destroyed. In case the thief was rushed over and killed by the official army for a few years, it would not be fun.

But Li Zicheng laid down Kaifeng, so that the soldiers began to take a high look at the future of the thieves.

And Sun Chuanting's action of leading the army to retreat to get food made the wavering officers and soldiers begin to doubt the winner of this war. The army did not go east to kill the thieves, but fled to the west, which caused countless rumors to spread among the army.

Especially after the soldiers of Datong Town, who were chased and killed all the way by the invading army, fled into Sun Chuanting's army, and when the soldiers saw Wang Pubu, who was killed by the invading army, there were only a few thousand people left, and the rumors in the army were somewhat uncontrollable. The soldiers began to suspect that the battle was going to be lost, and the people were terrified.

Sun Chuanting's explanation of returning to his teacher to get food was considered a pretext to cover up the failure.

Ten miles away, more than 200,000 thieves surrounded the official army from three directions. The intrusive army pressed towards this side like a black cloud, and there was a dense sea of people, with no end in sight.

Sun Chuanting felt that the soldiers of the official army were wavering.

Every time the intruding army advanced, the positions of the officers and soldiers stirred. The officers shouted and cursed and beat the rioting soldiers with knives and sticks, but to no avail. To the rear, the positions of the officers and troops swayed like waves, crumbling.

The intrusive army forced three miles away from the official army and sounded the horn of the charge.

In all directions, it was suddenly filled with the shouts of thieves and soldiers.

The shouting and killing sound only sounded for a few breaths, and Sun Chuanting heard a bang, and the 160,000 officers and soldiers collapsed like a pile of straw blown away by a strong wind.
