Chapter 184: Battle of Qixian 2
、、、、、、、
And at this distance, the gunners can already aim and shoot accurately, some gunners use the smoke to dissipate a moment of time, specifically aimed at the officers and soldiers who are babbling generals to fire, not long after, some of the low-level generals of the officers and soldiers in the forefront have been shot in front of the formation, if it weren't for the fact that the gunpowder smoke was too big when the gunpowder fired, so that after several salvos, the entire front of the Xingtian Army was shrouded in gunsmoke, which affected the effective aiming of the Xingtian gunners. The losses on the part of the officers and soldiers will be much heavier.
As soon as the officer died, there was no one to command the soldiers, and the officers and soldiers were even more chaotic, and the people in front were afraid that the fire of the Xingtian Army was too sharp and they retreated in horror, wanting to stay away from the array of the Xingtian Army, don't look at them usually follow Zuo Liangyu to do all the bad things, and slaughter the people like chickens, but in front of the Xingtian Army, they have become outright weak, just like lambs, slaughtered by the Xingtian Army, and only then did they know that they were wrong a few days ago, Xingtianjun was not afraid of them, but was teasing them, first making them careless, and then coming out to give them a hard blow.
Li Xin was also wearing a large armor at this time, holding a spear in his hand, majestic and immediately behind Li Xuanzhu, looking at the battlefield of tens of thousands of people, listening to the sound of cannons, the sound of firecrackers like bursting beans, the screams and shouts of countless people, and smelling the rich smell of gunpowder and blood in the air, Li Xin couldn't help but be stunned at first, his heartbeat accelerated violently, and his hands couldn't help but tremble a little, but when he saw that Xingtianjun was so fierce, he began to be uncontrollable and excited, some people you have to admit, He was born for war, Li Xin should be such a person, he from a civilian, almost in an instant to complete the transformation of his identity, very quickly adapted to the atmosphere of the battlefield, and quickly adjusted his mentality, into this once extremely unfamiliar environment, when after a while, when he saw the bloody scene, he had become much calmer, one hand held the reins of the horse, and actually began to carefully look around to watch the situation of the battlefield.
When the war began, Li Xin unsurprisingly showed a look of shock and fear, which made Li Xuanzhu quite a little happy to see his jokes, but when he turned his head to look at Li Xin again, he found that this life actually calmed down quickly, the frightened expression on his face was swept away, replaced by a calm expression, and his eyes were shining, as if he had become a battle-hardened veteran, which couldn't help but make Li Xuanzhu a little surprised.
Those of them who followed Xiao Tianjian were also gradually tempered from the people on the battlefield to the current generals, when they saw blood on the battlefield for the first time, many people even wet their pants in fright, in his opinion, Li Xin's life, at least it took a long time to adapt to this kind of flesh-and-blood battlefield, but it didn't come to fruition for a while, this life began to calm down, which couldn't help but surprise Li Xuanzhu, and at the same time admired it, and felt that the person who could make Xiao Tianjian pay attention to it really has its extraordinary, Presumably, this Li Xin is definitely not a general, otherwise Xiao Tianjian would not value him so much.
"Mr. Li, how do you see how we fought in this battle?" Li Xuanzhu turned his head and asked loudly to Li Xin behind him on the noisy battlefield.
Li Xin glanced at Li Xuanzhu and immediately replied loudly: "It's completely unexpected!" I didn't expect your army to be so strong, and it was really as the marshal said, the firearms were extremely sharp! The military discipline is strict, and it is really an elite division! If this battle is not expected, with the performance of Zuo Liangyu's department, their collapse is just around the corner! Congratulations to the general for making another great contribution this time! ”
Li Xuanzhu pouted and said: "Firearms are sharp on the one hand, in fact, the real strength of our army is the battle formation, Mr. will see it in a while!" We're going to assault soon! Yo! Say it! The commander has an order, so that our right wing will take the lead in the assault! Ha ha! It's time for the show! Someone, pass my order, the whole army assault! Defeat these bandits for me! ”
Li Xin turned his head to look, and really saw that the Chinese army's order flag began to wave continuously, and as the order flag swayed, in the several phalanxes directly controlled by Li Xuanzhu on the right flank, a loud military horn soon sounded.
When the musketeers, who were firing intensively, heard the sound of the trumpet, the officer immediately ordered to stop firing, shouting: "All bayonets!" Get ready to charge! Kill! ”
The battalions immediately heard the sound of a rattling bayonet, Li Xin was surprised to find that the original fire guns of the Xingtian Army were actually not as he imagined, they could only use fire guns to kill the enemy from a distance, and the bird guns they used were actually equipped with special short blades, at this time, the fire guns were pulled out of the leather sheath on their waists, and they were firmly stuck above the mouth, and in a blink of an eye, these bird guns became short spears, and in an instant, a bright and flickering gun forest was erected in the big array.
With the rhythm of the trumpet, the generals immediately began to put down the spears in their hands in rows, and a row of sword players also stepped forward, covering the front of the entire large array with shields in their hands, covering the arrows that shot directly at them, and more pikemen put down their spears and shouted to kill, and the entire right flank line immediately began to move as a whole, and several phalanxes were like moving guns, and the front was forced towards the array of officers and soldiers that had been disrupted.
The two armies that had approached a distance of twenty or thirty paces were only a short time before they collided together, and at this time, the archers on the side of the officers and soldiers had almost been swept away by the Xingtian Army, and only a small number of remaining archers also fled back to the back of the formation when they saw the Xingtian Army attacking, hiding in the formation and throwing bows and arrows towards the Xingtian Army from a distance, but such sparse arrows basically did not pose much of a threat to the Xingtian Army, and the armies of the two sides collided together like two iron streams. A blood mist rose again between the two armies.
After the sword players of the Xingtian Army arrived here, they quickly squatted down in rows, making room for the spearmen behind them, and protected the bottom of the spear forest, while the rows of spearmen stared at the red eyes, screamed, and struggled to twist their waists, stepped, and raised their arms to quickly stab the spears in their hands towards the officers and soldiers on the opposite side.
And the officers and soldiers also had infinite fear, raised the weapons in their hands, and stabbed towards the Xingtian Army, and in an instant there was a terrible scream in front of the two armies, and a row of soldiers was stabbed to the ground in an instant, but the spear of the Xingtian Army is longer than the spear of ordinary officers, don't look at the length of these two feet, it determines whose life and death, just in an instant, rows of officers and soldiers were stabbed to death by the pikemen of the Xingtian Army, and some officers and soldiers were sprayed with blood mist in their wounds, screaming and falling to the ground, Unwillingly, they rolled and twitched, and in the end, what fell into their eyes were only the sword players of the Heavenly Punishment Army who were squatting in front of them, staring at them coldly with incomparably cold eyes.
For such a military formation of the Xingtian Army, the officers and soldiers can almost be said to have no power to fight back, and after the battle, they were quickly stabbed to the ground in rows, even if they occasionally counterattacked and killed and injured some of the Xingtian Army's subordinates, and then someone stepped forward behind the casualties and fallen soldiers, taking their place, and continued to coldly stab forward again and again.
Cold weapon combat is so cruel, either you die or I die, although Zuo Liangyu's subordinates are also very tough, these ruffians and hooligans don't take other people's lives as their lives, nor do they take their own lives as their own, but in the face of such a massacre, they were still scared and wet their pants, the assault on the right wing did not last too long, and the left wing of the entire official army began to retreat under their pressure.
Zuo Liangyu also noticed the situation on his left flank, and roared and ordered the soldiers and horses on the left flank to block the attack of the Xingtian Army, but after his order was handed down, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and the officers and soldiers on the left flank were still irrepressibly retreating step by step under the attack of the Xingtian Army, which gradually made the left flank of the official army begin to collapse, and gradually made Zuo Liangyu's position in the middle of the army become prominent.
Li Xin was already enthusiastic at this time, he wished that he could be like a spearman, rush to the front of the battle, and personally participate in this battle, even the war horse he sat on seemed to feel the impulse of its new owner, so he began to get excited, constantly scraping the ground with the horse's hooves, and snorting loudly, as if he wanted to carry its new master, show its four hooves, and rush out.
Li Xuanzhu turned his head and glanced at Li Xindao, who was excited: "Mr. is really bold, but there is no need for us to rush out at this time, the marshal has long said that in this kind of war, the responsibility of the military general is to command, only when it is time to pursue, the military general can lead his troops to the front, Mr. Li does not have to worry, wait a moment will have the opportunity to show you your kung fu!" ”
Li Xinchao hugged his fists on horseback and said, "Thank you General Li for your advice!" Li Xin has been taught! In the future, the general should not call me Mr. again, it is better to call me Li Xin! The word "sir" is not daring! ”
Li Xin said this very to Li Xuanzhu's temper, Li Xuanzhu laughed, stretched out his hand and patted Li Xin on the shoulder a few times and said, "Okay! I, Li Shuzhu, am a rough man, Mr. said so, which is in line with my old Li's temper! Walk! It's time for us to get on them, before it gets dark, and defeat them! ”
Soon after the right wing Li Xuanzhu led his troops to launch a surprise attack, the direction of the left wing of the official army began to collapse, for which Zuo Liangyu continued to increase troops to the left wing, trying to maintain the front, although this delayed the collapse of the left wing, but a large number of officers and soldiers under the command of Li Xuanzhu under the assault of the generals, like a heavy hammer constantly knocked on their left wing, and then Zuo Liangyu repeatedly increased troops, although the left wing increased the strength, but was defeated by Li Xuanzhu one by one, and then this chaos began to spread to Zuo Liangyu's Chinese army, At the same time, Zuo Liangyu's position in the Chinese army also began to protrude between the formations of the Xingtian Army.
At this time, Xiao Tianjian timely ordered the left wing Zhao Erdonkey's department to also start an offensive against the official army, and the right-wing officers and troops who had already suffered heavy casualties under the artillery fire of the Xingtian Army suddenly began to collapse, these officers and soldiers were not Zuo Liangyu's soldiers and horses, most of them were local armies in Henan, and their combat effectiveness was not very strong.
