291 Have a plan
The enemy panicked, hundreds of grenades rained down from the sky, and no one could stand within a radius of five feet from one grenade.
Taking advantage of the enemy's panic, the Hongtang soldiers did not stop their movements, and the steps of the three-stage shooting were alternated one by one, and even the musket barrel made of stainless steel was hot.
Finally, the enemy's second charge, after paying nearly 5,000 casualties, was finally on the verge of collapse again, and even if there were executioners wielding long knives behind them, they could not stop the peasant army from being defeated.
"Bastard thing!!"
Although he was angry that the peasant army soldiers and others were not angry, Tian Jian Xiuye had to admit that the firearms in the hands of this Ming Dynasty army, which was only thousands of years, were different from any Ming Dynasty bird gun team they had ever encountered.
Not only is the power of the bird gun abnormally powerful, and the peasant soldiers who are hit by a gun are either dead or disabled, the muzzle of the gun on the body is almost the size of a bowl, and the flesh and blood are blurred, and the firing speed of this bird gun team is also unusually fast, it is not like the useless bird gun team in the Ming Dynasty in the past.
"What about Meng Mazi? Lao Tzu is going to kill him alive!! Lao Tzu let gossip about him at the end of the day and retreat, how dare he lead the team to retreat!! ”
One by one, the disgraced and dejected soldiers retreated from the front line in a hurry, and were stopped by Tian Jianxiu, who had already left the camp of the Chinese army.
"General Meng has been shot dead on the battlefield by the enemy!"
Finally, one of them stepped back and waited for the soldier to know something, and replied by covering his cheek, which was blue from being beaten by Tian Jianxiu.
"Whoa! Well Dead!! ”
Tian Jianxiu said fiercely, but the anger on his face dissipated a lot, and then what came up was a little sadness for the death of his henchman, but he was quickly suppressed by Tian Jianxiu.
"Brothers, follow Lao Tzu!!"
Regardless of the dissuasion of the staff around him, Tian Jianxiu, who had been living and dying on the battlefield, saw that he had a large army, but he was unable to eat this Ming army that was obviously just a pioneer, and he finally went into battle in person, wanting to take down this group of bastards with the team.
As a warrior, perhaps Tian Jianxiu is qualified, but as a commander and general, he is a loser.
Tian Jianxiu did not have the qualities that a general should have, and when he was fighting, he only knew how to let his subordinates charge forward, and he did not know how to observe the layout of the enemy's formation, nor did he care whether his army's formation was reasonable.
This is the problem that most of the generals in the peasant army have, originally just a group of mud legs, at most it is a gang leader, the hundred and ten people may still have some rules, to the transfer of thousands of soldiers, for them, it is already extremely difficult to prevent this team from scattering.
At this time, Tian Jianxiu personally went into battle to fight, and he took a bad move in a bad game, but he didn't think that if he died on the first front of the fight, or if the enemy found himself and so on, then for his own side at least to occupy a numerical advantage, if it was a peasant army that still had some advantages in holding or retreating, it would be tantamount to the collapse of the entire team.
The third charge of the peasant army, just after the enemy's second charge passed less than a cup of tea, was pressed up by Tian Jian Xiusheng who dragged the last manpower to press, obviously ready to give it a go.
Until this moment, Tian Jianxiu did not believe that his army of more than 20,000 people would not be able to take this army of only more than 3,000 people, although behind this Ming army, there was also a steady stream of people to join, and in just over an hour, it had grown from more than 3,000 people at the beginning to more than 5,000 people.
"Heh, this reckless army is really dead-eyed!"
The leading commander of the vanguard army is Wu Chao, who has been promoted to the commander of the third division of the Hongtang Whale Division and is known as the commander of the Penghu Water Division of the Ming Dynasty.
As the first batch of professional soldiers in Hongtang, Wu Chao has gone from the bottom to the present step by step over the years, not only has he been accumulating experience in the battlefield and other battles, but at the same time, Hai has worked hard to learn the advanced tactics developed by the West, the East and his own Hongtang team, and completely left Tian Jianxiu on the opposite side in the battle command.
Wu Chao, who is now sitting in the center of the vanguard army, holds a telescope that is more comparable to later generations, carefully observing the military dispatch of the soldiers on the opposite side, and on the other hand, he smiled contemptuously at the members of the aircraft department around him.
Indeed, the enemy is not only a mess in terms of tactical coordination, but also has a bloody and brave spirit, but it does not even have the minimum distribution of soldiers in distant and close combat, and until now, it has always been attacked and other sides, and the Hongtang army can be said to have few casualties now.
"Division commander, how do I feel that the Chinese commander on the opposite side doesn't seem to be pressing in the rear?"
Nowadays, Hongtang's armament, for example, is used as a necessary telescope for observation, as long as it is a senior officer above the battalion level, it is one in one hand, and the members of the aircraft department who are involved in the strategy also have several binoculars to facilitate them to observe the enemy's situation.
At this time, the members of the staff department around Wu Chao suddenly discovered that the army that was originally immobile and calm and suppressed the formation of the enemy army was now showing some signs of instability, and many peasant army soldiers who had separated from the battlefield were no longer in the battle team, and there were signs of hasty escape.
"Oh!"
When Wu Chao heard this, he hurriedly picked up his hand and observed with a telescope, and sure enough, as the members of the Aircraft Department said, there were obvious signs of instability in the rear of the enemy army, and it was obvious that the leader of the enemy army was not in the rear, so where he himself was is worth pondering.
"Found it, could the general at the front of the battle be the leader of the other party-Tami-hide?"
A general looked around the battlefield with a telescope in his hand, and then quickly locked on a suspicious object and shouted excitedly.
Tian Jianxiu's outfit was indeed easy to attract Wu Chao's attention, an enemy wearing bright armor and superb martial arts in his hands, mixed in a bunch of peasant troops who were not even equipped with standard weapons and wearing colorful clothes, if it was not conspicuous, it was fake.
And a large group of guards around him who guarded him firmly made him the target of public criticism and the focus of Hongtang's army.
"Pass my order, let people shout that the thief chief is dead, surrender and don't kill!"
Wu Chao had a plan and whispered a few words to the guards around him.
"Remember, find an enemy and wait for the corpse to come, cut off their head, and hang their face on a bamboo pole with blood!"
"Yes!"
The guards went down, and it didn't take long for the Hongtang army to start shouting in unison: "The thief chief is the head, surrender and don't kill!" ”
"The thief chief is the head, surrender and don't kill!"
