Chapter 56 No Distinction Between Friend and Foe
20,000 against 2,000, the battle was actually beaten into this virtue, it's really shameless! These Heavenly Torture Armies are too powerful! Even if they, the Guan Ning Army, have seen the power of the Tartars, but compared with this gang of torture thieves, they are still a little inferior to them, could it be that this torture thief is even more fierce than Jiannu? Now they all remembered the battle of the giant deer and the rumored battle of Neiqiu, if this is the case, then the rumors of these two battles may be true, this Tartar is really suffering under the hands of the Xingtian Army, in this way, they can't beat the Jiannu Army, then they will not be the opponent of this Xingtian thief.
The kind of exuberant mood when these guys first came, when they arrived, it was like falling into an ice cellar, and it became cool, although the strength of this group of Xingtian Army was not much compared to them, but just now, even if these people were pigs, it could be seen that these two thousand Xingtian soldiers would be an absolute strong army, and the tactics they used were a new tactic that they had never seen before, and the firearms they were equipped with were even sharper and abnormal, and the output firepower far exceeded the three-eyed guns, bird guns, and bows and crossbows that the officers and soldiers possessed. It is completely possible to grasp the initiative of the battlefield, and completely suppress the officers and soldiers locally, plus the soldiers and generals of the Xingtian Army are very brave, as if they are a group of beasts that do not want to die, they don't know how to hurt, they don't know how to be afraid, they are not afraid of life and death, compared to the performance of the officers and soldiers who are their opponents, often a row of bullets has been hit, and after overturning a few or a dozen officers and soldiers, hundreds or even thousands of officers and soldiers will immediately turn around and run, and the will to fight will be lost, and the foot soldiers can't stop them, and the same is true for the cavalry.
And like a moving fire-breathing fort, this gang of thieves will spit out flames at any moment, firing bullets in all directions, shooting with birds at a distance, and fighting with pikemen and sword players at close range, and more like a raging hedgehog covered with thorns, so that the huge officers and soldiers have no way to say anything about them.
What made the officers and soldiers even more aggrieved was that this group of thieves was still cunning and powerful, and they seemed to have long understood their weaknesses, and they always bit the officials and soldiers to the death, and were entangled with the officers and soldiers, so that the advantages of the artillery and rockets owned by the officers and soldiers did not dare to launch because of the rat throwers.
There are many officers and soldiers, and the formation seems to be very thick, but the generals of the Xingtian Army led by Diao Zheng are more like a sharp knife, and they pierced deeply into the official army formation. The rest immediately dispersed.
Gao Qiqian, a death-fearing ghost, of course would not put himself too far forward when he was in array to watch the battle, and his standard camp was on his left and right, and there were also 3,000 elite soldiers in front of him.
But these considerations, at this point, seem to be a little pale, under Diao Zheng's sharp assault, the first attacking officers and troops were defeated, and then the intercepting cavalry was repulsed, and then the two officers and armies blocking the road were also quickly broken through, as if nothing could stop this Xingtian army from breaking into the Chinese army.
Countless officers and soldiers shouted around this Xingtian army, trying to rush forward, but the split was hit by a row of bullets, and the courage that had just been mustered was immediately dissipated, and Lima retreated into the distance.
All the generals of the official army were a little stunned at this time, they had seen the fierceness of the Tartars, but after seeing the fierceness of the Xingtian Army today, they found that the Xingtian Army was actually inferior to the Tartars.
At this time, there were also people who understood, and there was a guerrilla who pounced in front of Gao Qiqian's horse and shouted to Gao Qiqian: "Qi Qi Gao Gong, it's not a way to fight like this!" It is better to quickly evacuate the officers and troops around the thief army and make room for a quick artillery bombardment of the thief army! ”
However, as soon as they heard the words of this guerrilla, some people immediately objected, and now so many people still can't stop this thief army from killing the Chinese army, and once the officers and troops blocking the road are dispersed, won't the thief army even more rush to the Chinese army? Listening to the panicked shouts of the surrounding generals, Gao Qiqian's face turned much whiter, the words of these generals seemed to make sense, but he didn't know who to listen to, in short, he had thoroughly understood that these officers and soldiers were really unusable, and this thief army was clearly coming for him, wanting to give him a thief to capture the king first, and looking at the posture, it was not impossible for them to do so, but it was very likely to succeed.
At this point, nothing matters anymore, his own life is the most important thing, let the officers and soldiers blocking the road disperse, it is impossible, and the thief army will not rush over faster? Isn't this tantamount to self-destruction? Bombardment with artillery is necessary, as for how many officers and soldiers are injured by mistake, it is secondary, as long as it can blow up this gang of thieves!
"Shut up the prison! Send the order down, turn the muzzle of the cannon to the prison point to bombard and kill these thieves, and shoot them with a swarm of rockets! In short, they are not allowed to go any further! Gao Qiqian roared in a snarky tone, almost hysterical, and his voice changed his tone a little sharply.
"But Gao Gong! There are still a lot of our officers and soldiers ahead! Someone immediately exclaimed.
Gao Qiqian swept the screaming guerrilla with cold eyes, and suddenly made the guerrilla feel a chill on his back, if he offended this dead eunuch, he might really die without a place to be buried, so he immediately folded his neck, retreated to the side, and didn't dare to speak anymore.
When the order was handed down, the gunners and the officers and soldiers who fired the rockets were also a little dumbfounded, at this time the battlefield was chaotic like cow hair, although they could see the location of the thief army, but around the thief army there were their own people who were messing around, firing artillery? Are you kidding? If this cannonball had been hit, wouldn't it have killed its own people first? For a while, the gunners were in a daze, and they didn't dare to listen to the order to light the guns, but they kept carrying the dead gun carriage and adjusting the muzzle of the cannon, but they stared at them one by one and didn't dare to fire the cannons, not to mention the officers and soldiers who operated the rockets, the swarm of the Ming army was a covering weapon, and no one knew where the rockets could fly out, relying on the amount to win. Joke! Whoever releases an arrow will not be skinned alive by those robes who have been hit by arrows, and it will be light!
Gao Qiqian ordered for a long time, but he didn't hear the sound of cannons, nor did he see a large number of rockets flying towards the Xingtian Army, so he suddenly jumped like thunder, trembling and saying: "It's the opposite!" It's the other way around! Isn't it even possible to make the military order of this prison work? Someone's coming! Go and pass on the military order of the prisoner again and issue a cannon to the officer! Fast! ”
When the order was handed down, the generals who commanded the gunners and the generals who were responsible for managing the swarm of rockets were also dumbfounded, offending their colleagues was a saying, and the end of offending Gao Qiqian was estimated to be worse than the end of offending colleagues, so these people really couldn't hold on, so they had to force their gunners to fire or kill the soldiers to set fire rockets.
At this end, even if the officers and men had no choice but to ignite the fire, they could only hear a series of artillery sounds, and a large number of rockets finally flew up with a roar, and the places where there were still swarms of rockets in the artillery arrays were suddenly filled with gunsmoke, and one after another the rockets pulled out white smoke in the sky, whistling and flying onto the battlefield, and falling into the crowd with a whizz.
I only heard the sound of screams and angry scolding on the battlefield all of a sudden, at this distance, the cannon wants to accurately bend the fire, over the heads of their officers and soldiers, and accurately hit the formation of the Xingtian Army, it is simply impossible, and the lack of training of the gunners of the Ming Army, this cannon is even more uncertain, it is not possible to blow up the bore, it means that they are doing a good job, as for whether the shells can accurately hit the target, that is the matter that God is responsible for, after a cannon roars, dozens of shells will jump into the battlefield, Immediately, a bloody road was opened in the crowd, but most of the unlucky ones were the officers and soldiers who surrounded the Xingtian Army, and a lot of them were killed at once, and only a few shells broke through the many obstacles and crashed into the Xingtian Army's formation, and immediately opened a bloody alley in the Xingtian Army's formation.
Wherever the shells passed along the way, many soldiers of the two armies fell down with a miserable wail, each of them either missing arms and legs, or their intestines were broken or even torn apart by the shells on the spot, and the flesh and blood were blurred and miserable, and any armor was papery in front of the shells, and it was impossible to provide any protection for the human body.
A soldier of the Xingtian Army was hit in the chest and abdomen by a jumping cannonball when he was exhausted, but the cannonball was exhausted at this time, and it failed to tear him to pieces or break him into two pieces on the spot, and the heavy cannonball was embedded in his chest and abdomen, and all the bones in his chest were shattered, and the internal organs were also stirred, and the soldier vomited blood, and there were broken internal organs inside, and he died on the spot almost instantly.
Although the discipline of the Xingtian Army was strict, and the soldiers were brave, they were still human after all, and they also knew that they were afraid, and when they were hit, it was impossible for them to turn a blind eye to the brothers who died tragically around them, so some of the soldiers became a little flustered.
Even a very small number of recruits were really frightened, turned around and wanted to run, but Diao Zheng had an order online before leaving, and those who escaped from the battle could be executed on the spot regardless of their official position, and just a few frightened soldiers wanted to escape, and the soldiers behind them beheaded them to the ground without saying a word, and the generals in the army roared wildly: "Don't mess up!" Keep rushing forward, now chaos is looking for death! Everybody's going back! Rush forward to live! Kill! Xingtian Dance ......"
......After hearing the officer's shout, a large number of soldiers of the Xingtian Army also cheered up again, roared wildly, and once again mustered up their courage, gathered together like a mountain, and rushed forward.
