Chapter 170: Mountains of Corpses and Sea of Blood

、、、、、、、

When many firecrackers stepped forward to fire, they were either hit by arrows in their faces or arrows in their arms, and all those who were hit by arrows basically screamed and fell to the ground, basically immediately either dead or seriously injured, even if they were hit by arrows in their arms, they would snort, curse and staggered back and lost their combat effectiveness, and had to retreat into the formation for bandaging.

So when the big war was together, the numerical disadvantage of Liu Yaoben's side was presented, and it was gradually suppressed by the archers and musketeers of the official army, and the casualties also showed a geometric increase, but this did not disrupt Liu Yaoben's deployment, and the generals of the Xingtian Army continued to shout and fight one by one, and after one fell or was injured and retreated, there were people behind to fill their positions, and the musketeers took turns to step forward and continue to shoot outward.

The first to kill the large array of the Xingtian Army was the sentry cavalry of the official army, they relied on their speed, good armor, and superb riding skills, lying on the back of the war horse, avoiding the bullets fired into their crowd, this time they exerted a strong combat effectiveness, and killed until the right side of the Xingtian Army, but the shallow trench and the chest wall that was piled up by the Xingtian Army temporarily caused them a lot of trouble, and the war horses carried them, and they couldn't jump over at all, and they stopped outside the shallow trench. It happened to be the best target for the Xingtian Army's gunners, a few rows of guns passed, and they overturned, and the officers and cavalry also made a counterattack, using three-eyed guns to fire at the Xingtian Army's large array, the two armies were almost muzzle-to-muzzle in the narrow shallow trench and chest wall bombardment, and in an instant both sides screamed and fell a lot of people.

Seeing that he couldn't rush in on horseback, a thousand commanders of the official cavalry were also more experienced, and immediately yelled and ordered the cavalry to dismount and fight, rushing towards the breastwork and shallow trenches, trying to jump over the shallow trenches and climb over the breastwork, and enter the Xingtian Army formation, they also saw that the Xingtian Army was powerful on their formation, as long as they were disrupted, there would be a chain reaction in the rest of the place, and there would be chaos, so this Qian Zong under Wu Sangui could be said to be the first to rush forward, and the rest of the officers and soldiers were also fierce, shouted and followed him to kill.

Yan Ting happened to be dispatching here, watching his subordinates and the officers and soldiers shoot each other with heavy casualties, but he didn't dare to order a step back, so he could only keep filling in the back of the firecrackers, and continue to prevent the officers and soldiers from approaching, and the three-eyed guns of the officers and soldiers were a hammer deal, and there was no time or time to reload in this situation after they were released, so soon the firepower of the officers and soldiers weakened, and the firecrackers on the side of the Xingtian Army stepped forward in rows to fire, and the firepower was always endless, and after a while, the officers and soldiers were suppressed, forcing the officers and soldiers to be angry. Whatever he caught, he threw something at the Xingtian Army, and threw throwing weapons such as short axes, causing some casualties to the Xingtian Army.

Seeing that the officers and soldiers were about to jump over the shallow trench and climb over the breastwork, Yan Ting shouted and ordered the musketeers to retreat, and the pikemen and sword players, the rows of pikemen had a chance to show their might, and immediately crossed the musketeers and lowered the spears.

At this time, the officers and soldiers had already climbed up the breastwork, holding their swords and guns howling and trying to jump into the formation of the Xingtian army, and what could meet them was a row of lightning-like spear tips, and the officers and soldiers who climbed the breastwork first did not even have time to scream, they were stabbed through the throat, and instantly spurted blood and fell on their backs in the shallow trench outside the breastwork.

But the officers and soldiers behind could not see what was happening in front of them, and they still struggled to climb the breastwork under the supervision of the generals, this breastwork was really too lacking in morality, and the shallow trench outside was not deep, but after adding the breastwork wall that was more than half a person high, the height of the breastwork wall was more than one person high, and the officers and soldiers in armor could not climb up alone, and the officers and soldiers jumped into the shallow trench and could not see the situation behind the breastwork, so they could only step on people and climb up. Many people have just shown their heads, and they have been hit by spears, either stabbed through the throat, or directly stabbed into the chest, and even some officers and soldiers have been stabbed into the mouth by spears, and the sharp three-edged spear tip instantly burst out of the back of the head with yellow and white brains, and the dead ones can't make a sound, so they fall into the shallow trench outside.

This kind of shallow trench is actually an anti-infantry trench, and the cavalry is still useless, although it is shabby, but it is very effective, and the officers and soldiers can only jump into the shallow trench first, and then climb over the breastwork, so that they can fight with the soldiers of the Xingtian Army who are lined up behind the breastwork, and the result is that they suffer a big loss on the terrain, and they can only use the tactics of adding oil, but they cannot exert any impact of collective combat at all.

The training of the pikemen over the years was not given in vain, and they repeatedly stabbed with such a move, so that each of them was perfect, and the shot was like electricity, and at the same time, it was extremely accurate, almost so that the officers and soldiers who climbed the breastwork had no chance of survival, and after a while, dozens of officers and soldiers who rushed up overturned out, and each of them was seriously injured or died on the spot, and only a few lucky ones were lucky, and the pikemen stabbed a little off, and they ended up with a life.

"No! Don't climb anymore! To go up is to die! ......" A soldier with a bloody hole in his shoulder lay in the shallow trench screaming with a frightened look on his face, but few people listened to him, and some people climbed up to the roar of the officers, and in an instant he was shot in the chest or throat, and fell down on his back with blood spurting blood.

At this time, the infantry of the officers and soldiers had also rushed to the front of the Xingtian army, but they paid a lot more than the cavalry on the flanks, and they were bombarded and hit by bullets along the way, and they had already paid a lot of casualties along the way.

A large number of officers and soldiers poured out of the shallow trench like a flood, and in an instant it seemed to be blocked by the embankment, slowing down, but under the push of the officers and soldiers behind, a large number of officers and soldiers could only jump into the shallow trench and then climb towards the breastwork wall that was higher than their heads.

The flood was blocked like this, and they lost their due kinetic energy, and their overall impact was immediately absorbed by this shallow trench and the breastwork, and they also lost their due destructive power, and then they also encountered the helplessness of the officers and cavalry on the left wing of the Xingtian Army, and the spearmen of the Xingtian Army who were lined up behind the breastwork were expressionless, pursed their lips tightly, their eyes were gray, and they seemed to be staring at these officers and soldiers who climbed the breastwork as if they were looking at dead things, and then held the guns tightly with both hands, The sharp three-edged head of the spear instantly sank into the chest or throat of these officers and soldiers who climbed the breastwork, and the officers and soldiers who were shot had just seen the situation behind the breastwork, their eyes just flashed a trace of fear, and then they turned dead gray, either screaming and falling down, or they lost their weapons without saying a word, covered the throat that was spurting blood, and slowly fell down, falling heavily into the shallow trench full of people behind.

Wu Sangui couldn't see the details of what happened in front of him behind the battle, but he saw that the officers and soldiers under his command had rushed to the front of the Xingtian Army, and they were overflowing the low wall temporarily built by the Xingtian Army like a tide. So he immediately ordered to step up the drums to help the battle, urging the officers and soldiers under his command to continue to attack forward, in his opinion, although the fire of the Heavenly Army is extremely sharp, but once the close combat, these fire guns become waste, hand-to-hand combat In his opinion, the officers and soldiers under his command should have an advantage, so many men and horses pressed up, and the pile can also pile up to kill this gang of criminal thieves.

But he didn't know that at this time, his subordinates were bleeding and paying for their lives one after another just because of this inconspicuous wall, and it didn't take long for the shallow trench in front of them to be filled with the corpses of the officers and soldiers, and the follow-up officers and soldiers were almost stepping on the corpses of their robes, and then they were stabbed down from the chest wall one by one, becoming the stepping stones of the robes behind.

At this point, the battle situation is not enough to describe the word tragic, the officers and soldiers are surging towards the front, while ordering the archers to continue to throw arrows into the Xingtian army in the back, supporting the attack of the armored soldiers in front, although the Xingtian army is killing happily, but it has to bear the baptism of the rain of arrows falling from the sky, and there are constantly people injured or killed and fell to the ground, and the number of casualties is also rising, but Liu Yaoben seems not to see it, and he is not moved at all, continued to coldly order the soldiers and generals behind to fill in, always blocking the officers and soldiers, so that the officers and soldiers could not advance an inch behind this unorthodox low wall, but regardless of the fact that the other side of the low wall at this time was about to turn into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

The officers and soldiers pressed up one by one, and were beaten back by one by one, leaving behind one corpse after another, and a large number of seriously injured and undead wounded people whining and wailing under the low wall, and gradually the wounded were pressed down by the dead again, and trampled under the feet of countless people until they could no longer breathe, and gradually suffocated to death under the corpse pile.

The shallow trench was quickly filled in by the corpses, and then began to pile up, and gradually the follow-up officers and soldiers stepped on the corpses of the robes in front of them, and no longer had to climb the wall, they could almost jump over the corpses and jump on the low wall, but they were greeted by bloody spears, and they could only continue to fall down one after another.

But at this point, the pikemen were about to be unable to withstand it, after all, they were killing, and each shot would consume a lot of their physical strength, and there were also human blood flowing down the barrel of the gun, soaking their barrel, gradually making their hands slip a little, some people's spears could not withstand such force, and snapped off, and they had to withdraw from the battle and take a little rest in the back.
