Chapter 279: One More Bite

Thousands of Tiefutu of the Yuan army were desperately trying to stop the elite musketeers of the Dragon Bird Army at a high price, and even forced the artillery to retreat. At this time, if the Yuan army pressed all the nearly 100,000 infantry, with its absolute superiority, it might not have the power to turn the tables.

However, Boyan never ordered a general attack, not because he watched the elite heavy cavalry being slaughtered, nor because he lacked the courage to fight to the death, but because of the cannons of the Dragon Bird Army.

The artillery battalion of the Dragon Bird Army did not run far after safely evacuating the front line, but rebuilt its position between the front and rear positions. Soon, the black muzzles of the eight cannons pointed to the Yuan army again.

With the range of the dragon roar cannon, it is indeed impossible to hit the Yuan army's large array from here, but if the Yuan army does not know whether to live or die, it will be different. The biggest difference between the infantry formation and the cavalry formation is that the cavalry formation is not afraid of scattering, scattering like a beast, and reuniting like a bird, which is the characteristic of cavalry. But the infantry formation is the opposite, most afraid of the formation shaking and scattered. In the face of the eight terrifying dragon roar cannons of the Dragon Bird Army, once the infantry charge entered the firing range, the flesh and blood paths ploughed out by the iron bullets were enough to cut any well-disciplined infantry formation to pieces.

Not to mention whether the will of the soldiers would collapse under this terrible blow, even if the army with a chaotic formation or even no formation at all collided with the enemy army with a tight formation, even if there were three or five times more troops, they would only be tortured and killed.

In ancient battles, the emphasis was on whose army had stricter military discipline, a more complete formation, a more effective commander, and a more complete equipment...... As for the number of people, only when the above items are about the same, it will play a decisive role, otherwise no matter how many people and horses there are, they will be treated as pigs and sheep.

Boyan could see it clearly and think clearly, so even if Tiefutu suffered heavy losses, he did not order the whole army to attack, everything could only be seen by Tiefutu charging into battle. As long as Tiefutu broke the Song people's musket array and destroyed the Song people's artillery, he would not hesitate to attack with his army. However, the scene in front of him was tragic and that Boyan definitely didn't want to see......

The effect of watching the battle on the hill is good, but after all, the distance is too far, coupled with the rush of thousands of horses, the smoke and flames, the roar of guns and cannons, and the smoke of gunpowder, the line of sight is seriously affected, and it is difficult to grasp the dynamics of the front line of the confrontation at the first time. Therefore, in the early days of the war between the two armies, the generals of the Yuan army did not pay attention to or did not think that Tiefutu suffered such heavy losses. It wasn't until the Tiefutu cavalry formation couldn't break through the stake formation for a long time, and Shengsheng was blocked by the Song army's musketeer array and artillery array at a distance of dozens of paces, that the Yuan army generals finally changed color.

In the end, what shocked the generals of the Yuan army was that the Su Lu Ding Banner in front of the Song army's artillery array, which represented Sudieer, was blasted into pieces by artillery.

The flag is coming, the flag is destroyed, so what?

The courage of the soldiers, the flag is the soul of the army. Now that the soul is gone, the courage is broken, can this army continue to fight?

The anxious eyes of all the generals of the Yuan army were focused on Boyan, but none of them dared to step forward to make suggestions. At this time, the suggestion is nothing more than an order to withdraw troops or continue the fierce battle. However, as soon as Tiefutu withdrew, the battle was bound to be lost; If you don't withdraw, do you want to watch this elite being killed?

At this time, who dares to come forward and make suggestions?

Boyan's face was slightly pale, but he was as calm as water, only the eyes that were as deep as an ancient well, revealing a trace of determination, decisively threw the broken golden whip, and calmly spit out three words: "Retire." ”

Woo –

The sound of the horn was terrible, and Tiefutu, who was struggling in front of the two armies, shouted one after another, retreating like a tide - since the establishment of the Tiefutu army of Cowardly Xue and Hebichi, they have either rushed out of the battle or folded their wings, and there has never been a matter of turning back in vain. It's the first time I've returned like this.

Many of Tiefutu had jumped off their horses and turned into heavy armor, and their horses were left in the care of the Warlords. When these heavily armored soldiers wanted to leave the battlefield, they heard the Song army shouting:

"If you want to come to Ren'er, if you want to leave, you must leave your life before leaving. Kill! ”

"Keep up the good work, brothers, take another bite! It's not often that you can bite into fat like Tiefutu! ”

"Protection! Protect! Protect! ”

As the dragon sparrow army roared three times in front, it was seen that the musketeers of the musketeer formation no longer retreated after firing, but loaded on the spot, and the combat group in the rear took turns to stride forward, and after the shooting, they also loaded on the spot. In this way, the entire musketeer array rolled forward, unhurried but firmly clinging to the retreating Yuan army's heavy armor.

On the other side, under the fierce bombardment of the martial arts team, the heavy armor soldiers of the cowardly Xue Army were even more miserable, under the high-speed fire of the pistol and the fierce bombardment of the shotgun replaced with the more terrible one-headed bullet, the Tiefutu people in heavy armor could not get out of contact at all. If they want to run faster, they will expose their backs to the enemy and be a live target; They want to resist and retreat at the same time, not to mention whether they can resist it, this corpse of people and horses all over the ground, if they don't look at the road and walk backwards, they will trip and fall at any time, and this heavy armor will fall down for a while, don't want to get up, just wait to be captured alive...... It's really not an escape, it's not a war, it's being played to death one by one!

This familiar scene made the cowardly Xue Jun's heavy armor soldiers can't help but think of the "Mangu Gang" tactics they are proud of, and it feels so similar, but this time the person who was flying the kite has become them......

This tragic situation was not reversed until the Yuan army sent 5,000 light cavalry to help.

Although the Beiwei cavalry on the Song army's side also brazenly met the attack, there was a huge disparity in strength between them, and even if the Beiwei cavalry with only 1,000 cavalry fought hard, it was impossible to completely stop five times the strength. The light cavalry of the Yuan army entangled the cavalry with 2,000 cavalry, and the cavalry of 3,000 galloped to attack the musketeers and martial arts teams. The spear and artillery guards in the front of the Dragon Bird Army also immediately rushed to the front of the formation, setting up infantry side cards to resist arrows for the musketeers and martial arts members.

The light cavalry of the Yuan army finally paid the price of more than 500 cavalry, rescued the remnants of the cowardly Xue army and the Hebi Red Army, and fled in embarrassment under the dense gunfire "farewell".

When the smoke slowly cleared, revealing the red death zone in front of the Song army, the mess on the ground, and the piles of corpses like mounds...... From the general of the Yuan army on the hill to every ordinary soldier in the Yuan army's large array, they were silent at this moment. An atmosphere called frustration enveloped the Yuan army's array.

"I can't rush it! I really can't rush it! ”

In the silence, the hill was wrapped, and in front of the tent, the cowardly deputy general of the Xue Army, Wanhu, lay down in front of Ye Sudie'er's body and kowtowed, blood dripping from his forehead, crying endlessly.

Boyan's eyes were sharp, and he was about to drink the order, but suddenly the instigator beside him stepped forward quickly, and suddenly pulled out the scimitar on his waist, the cold light flashed, his head rolled down, and the crying stopped abruptly.

Boyan looked indifferent, as if it was not Wanhu who instigated the beheading but a small soldier, and lightly ordered: "Withdraw the army and fight again on a later date." ”

When the last trace of sunset afterglow disappeared from the distant mountain top, the Yuan army whimpered and horns sounded, the handsome man on the hill bag was gloomy, and the Yuan army array under the mountain began to shrink and retreat, and a large number of Yuan army cavalry galloped and guarded around the constantly decomposing military formation, stirring up the smoke and dust in the sky.

On the side of the Song army's large array, suddenly the cannon roared, and at the same time, it sounded the sound of "Wansheng" like a tsunami. The cannon roared and cheered, resounding through the sky.
