Chapter Twenty-Five: The Iron Bone Breaks the Army
、、、、、、、
A row of carriages appeared in front of the iron battalion, many frightened Tartar soldiers gathered behind the carriage, holding bows and arrows, with fear to look at the oncoming Xingtian Army's corps, according to Dolgon's orders, the Tartar soldiers collected the battlefield previously used to attack the Ming army camp, and built the last line of defense here, if the Xingtian Army wanted to meet Lu Xiangsheng's soldiers and horses, they must break through the defense line composed of this Lutian army, otherwise they could only be separated from each other and could not meet, could only watch Lu Xiangsheng be wiped out by the Qing army. (.. )
A row of firearms hit the past, and the bullets crackled on the top of the cart, but unfortunately although the power of the firearms of the Xingtian Army was enough, but in the face of these carts made of thick wooden planks by the Tartars, the power of the bullets was still slightly insufficient, and the vast majority of the shells were blocked by the carts, and basically failed to shoot a few Tartar soldiers hiding behind the carts.
When the Xingtian army marched here, the offensive was immediately stopped, and the way was blocked by the defense line formed by this oar, and the archers of the Tartars also went crazy and hid behind the oar, desperately throwing bows and arrows at the Xingtian army, and constantly pikemen and musketeers began to fall into the array, but several rows of fire guns fired volleys, but they could not break through the defense line of the oars.
And this time Xiao Tianjian led his troops to break into the battlefield, because considering that the artillery action might not be able to keep up with the speed of the army's attack, in order to reduce unnecessary losses, the artillery battalion and the artillery teams directly under each battalion were left behind, and there was no artillery in their army to bombard these oars, so the offensive was hindered when it arrived here.
Seeing that more and more Tartar soldiers began to surround him again, Xiao Tianjian raised his eyebrows and roared angrily: "Send the order to Liu Yaoben!" I don't care what he does, give him to break through this line of defense of the Tartars, kill the past and join the officers and troops! Tell him, don't worry about the losses! Rescuing Lord Lu is our victory! If he can't, then I'll go up and open the Tartar defenses for him!" ”
The iron head roared loudly: "Take the order! Thirty guards are out, follow me! ”
Even though there were more than thirty warriors in the guard, they stood up without saying a word, and one by one raised a large shield, followed by the iron head and rushed to the front.
After listening to the order conveyed by the iron head, Liu Yaoben's face was very unsightly, along the way, their iron bone battalion was always like the tip of a sharp knife, stabbing all the Tartar soldiers who were blocking in front of them, and then killing them, but here the Tartars got some of this thing to block the way, but it caused them a huge trouble, he watched his fire and spearmen fall under the bow and arrow of the Tartars, but because the fire guns of the Xingtian Army could only fire volleys, It was impossible to kill the Tartar archers who were hiding behind the carts, and at this time the advantages of the bows and arrows came into play, and the Tartar archers could hide behind the carts, shoot upwards into the sky, and shoot the troops of the Heavenly Army with parabolic projectiles, so that the Iron Battalion finally paid the price.
When the iron head came over, Liu Yaoben immediately shouted: "The last general obeys the order!" Someone's coming! Send the order to send the knife player to me and blow up this rook with a thunderbolt! If they can't blow up the road, even if they hit me with their heads, they will break through this Tartar defense line for Lao Tzu! Violators will be killed! ”
Tietou nodded and said, "This plan is the best!" Let's go on the guard this time! Listen to the guards, follow me! ”
Liu Yao wanted to stop the iron head, but the iron head didn't give him a chance at all, and with a wave of his hand, he pounced on more than thirty guards with shields, each of them holding a big shield, and his left hand also buckled a fire breaker, and at their back waists, everyone pinned three melon-sized iron thunderbolts, and the iron thunderbolts of the Xingtian Army have become standard equipment among the sword players, everyone carries one or two such guys, and everyone has a copper pipe fire fold stuffed in their arms for them to ignite.
After receiving the order, the officer in charge of the sword player did not say a word, and named out more than thirty sword players, and organized together with more than thirty guards of the iron head, forming a temporary assault team, including himself, one by one added a piece of armor that had just been captured on his body, and then under the order of the iron head, more than sixty people immediately raised their shields and threw out of the large array.
At this time, a platoon of firecrackers immediately began to aim at the opposite oarcar under the commander's order and began to fire rapidly, so as to cover the iron head and other commandos to rush to the opposite oarland defense line.
From time to time, there will be a few unlucky Tartar soldiers, because their heads are stretched too high to observe the situation of the Xingtian Army, they will be hit by stray bullets, and the result is miserable.
Although they didn't know what the Xingtian Army was doing when it suddenly sent such a small group of soldiers to assault, they could guess that these dozens of soldiers of the Xingtian Army would never come here to talk about friendship with them, and they must have found a way to destroy their carts, so under the order of Niu Lu Zhangjing, who was attached to Lazhangjing, a branch of Tarshku was ordered to lead dozens of fierce Tartar soldiers to jump out of the cart and meet the dozens of people who were Tietou. At the same time, the archers were ordered to target dozens of people such as Iron Head, and shoot them with arrows.
So hundreds of Tartar soldiers have leaned out, one after another stretched out their bows and desperately put arrows at the iron head gang, but as long as they leaned out, often someone will be immediately hit by the fire of the Xingtian Army's firecrackers, and fall down, today's strong wind not only did not cause too much trouble to the firefighters of the Xingtian Army, but could quickly blow away the smoke generated when firing, so that the firefighters of the Xingtian Army could not be interfered with too much by the smoke of gunpowder, and shoot with accurate aiming as much as possible.
However, even under the cover of the efforts of the firecrackers behind, the arrows that shot at the Tartars of the Iron Head and the others were still as dense as rain, and it was not an exaggeration to describe it as overwhelming, and the Iron Head and the others also gathered together, using the shields in their hands to cover their whole bodies as much as possible, forming a small shield array, covering these arrows, and advancing forward step by step.
The snapping sound of the arrows falling on the shield was as dense as a shower, and the Tartar soldiers were very skilled in archery, although they suddenly got up and released the arrows, but the accuracy was not bad, and the iron head and their shields were shot like hedgehogs, if there were no these shields, the iron heads and their people would have been shot over in the first round of firing.
However, the situation of the counterattacking Tartar soldiers sent by Jiannu was even worse, as soon as they led the team to rush out of the defense line of the car, they were exposed to the volley of fire from the Xingtian Army, and after a row of guns, this Divide Pashku was covered in blood in several places, was beaten upside down and flew up, fell heavily to the ground, and died on the spot.
The situation of the Tartar soldiers who rushed out with him was not much better, and one by one they didn't have time to rush to the iron head and the others, so they were knocked to the ground one after another, and they completed their mission in an instant, and became the ghosts of the Xingtian Army.
But the condition of the dead soldiers of the iron head is not very good, the Tartar soldiers and arrows are really accurate, they have not rushed to the front of the cart, there are two sword players and a guard because they stretched out their heads to see the road, but the arrow in the face of the door, fell to the ground in advance, and at this time the iron head could not save them, can only leave them and continue to advance, in a moment out of the shield they were shot by the Tartars into hedgehogs, and died on the spot.
Several guards and sword-bearers were shot by arrows from the Tartars through the gaps in their shields, but these arrows were not much of a threat to them, each of them wore two layers of armor, and even if they shot their bodies, they could not penetrate their armor, but a few of them were shot in the legs under their shields, which injured several soldiers, but at this moment these guards and sword-bearers ignored the pain, gritted their teeth and limped and continued to push forward with their shields.
In the end, even Tietou himself suffered an arrow in his thigh, and the Tartar's strong arrow directly penetrated the armor of his leg, biting the arrow cluster deep into his thigh, but Tietou was also hard enough, and broke the shaft of the arrow, and continued to push forward without saying a word, until they advanced to the front of the cart more than ten steps, and then the iron head roared: "Ignite, throw a thunderbolt to Lao Tzu to blow them up!" ”
One by one, the guards and the sword players who had already prepared for it, quickly pulled out the thunderbolts, lit the fuses, and threw the iron melons at the opposite cart with all their might.
Before the Tartars on and off the cart could figure out what these Heavenly Torturers had thrown at them, the iron melons exploded one after another.
But as soon as they leaned out, several more sword players and guards reached out of their large shields, and at the moment they threw, several Tartar arrows were shot at them, and two people were shot in the face, and when they were shot to the ground, one of them was shot by an arrow in the eye socket, and the powerful arrow pierced through his head at once, and he swallowed without saying a word.
However, the damage caused by the thunderbolts they threw to the Tartars was much more severe, and many Tartar hedgehogs gathered behind the oars, and each thunderbolt exploded, which could blow up several Tartars at once, and even a few oars were blown over by the violent explosion, and some of the parts on the Tartars rose into the air in the explosion, and only the screams of the Tartars were heard at the oars.
Iron Head led this group of daredevils with a big shield, and smashed all the thunderbolts they carried into the top or back of the Tartar cart without stopping, and a series of explosions blew the Tartars into a rat, and suddenly the tarzan was also overturned a lot.
The originally neat line of defense immediately appeared a huge gap, and the Tartar soldiers at the gap also completely lost their cover, and the Xingtian gunners behind did not need the officers to remind them, they all aimed at these gaps one by one and opened fire in turn, at this time there was almost no need for the officers to direct them, these firefighters just relied on instinct, and marched forward again and again, firing, loading, advancing and firing again, and the phalanx of the iron battalion began to move again.
After paying a certain price, the Iron Bone Battalion still broke through the Tartar soldiers' rook defense line, and a large number of Tartar soldiers saw that they couldn't stop the Xingtian Army, so they hurriedly retreated, but Liu Yao could not have cheapened them, and sent the battalion's stragglers to launch a surprise attack, and the musketeers also carried out a surprise attack with bayonets, and instantly overturned a large number of Tartar soldiers, and the Tartar soldiers who killed the way blocked the road fled in all directions.
When Tietou limped back to Xiao Tianjian with the remaining twenty or so guards, Xiao Tianjian didn't say much, just lightly asked Tietou how his injury was, Tietou shook his head coldly and gritted his teeth and replied: "It's not in the way, it's just bitten by the Tartar's arrow!" Then he turned and went down to the medics and bandaged the arrows.
When Xiao Tianjian led his troops through this twisted and crooked cart that was discarded by the Tartars, he gave an order to the stragglers to attack, and quickly poured these carts on the oil and ignited them, saving this thing and being used by the Tartar soldiers to make them enemies, the battlefield suddenly burst into flames, and the rough carriages made by a large number of Tartars burned violently, and the air was filled with a smell of burnt human flesh, and some of the wounded Tartar soldiers on the carts were not even dead, they were ignited together, burning them with a terrible scream.
