Chapter 592. Cruel and ruthless

It was another ordinary morning, the vigorous growth of the green grass hung with round boiling, the pale white cooking smoke rushed to the blue sky, the swarthy marching pot solidified into a lump of cans slowly dissolved, and then with the rice grains boiled into a sticky paste, every sergeant tried to fill the plate as much as possible.

Experienced veterans know that once the battle really heats up, then it is unknown whether there is a chance to eat lunch or even dinner, so this meal is particularly important, once there is a lack of physical strength on the battlefield, then there is only one consequence.

Die!

Sun Chuanting seemed to have lost a lot of weight than before he set out on the expedition, and in the jingle of his subordinates knocking on the dinner plates, he was holding a telescope with a solemn face, looking at the battlefield deadly.

After all, people can't run away from birds, the news that the Datong Shun army was handcuffed and plundered by silver, the Liao army headquarters received the news one day earlier than Li Zicheng, and the prophetic sense is one of the necessary talents of the commander.

I'm tired of the temptation and war of attrition these days, Li Zicheng is going to make a big move!

"General Yuan!"

Putting down the binoculars, Sun Chuanting suddenly greeted Yuan Dabao, who was pulling a plate in the command headquarters.

"Oh? What does the general command? ”

Quickly put down the plate, Yuan Dabao stood up in a hurry, clenched his fists and arched his hands, but Sun Chuanting shook his head, turned around and pulled out a letter from his command desk.

"It's not an order, this is a letter written by the old man to the family, it will be transferred to the headquarters in a while, sent to Shenyang City, General Yuan has anything to write, the old man can write for it, and send it over!"

Write?

Yuan Dabao was really stunned, but in just a moment, he understood, thought about it, and once again hugged Sun Chuanting and gave a salute.

"In this way, it will bother the military master!"

…………

General Yuan, the deputy commander of the former army, seemed to have arrived a little later than before, but his expression seemed to be more serious, which made the atmosphere of the officers and men of the first and second regiments of the forward battle more and more tense.

At about eight o'clock in the morning, the sun gradually rose high, in the sight, those annoying intrusive flower head cannons were also pushed out again, now the sergeants of the Hegang Corps have been accustomed to bear the shelling in the absence of artillery support, but did not panic, one by one skillfully leaned on the back of the piled up sacks, shrunk in the excavated infantry pit, some veterans even lit a cigarette, took two puffs themselves, reached out and handed the recruit eggs with him.

Immediately afterward, the roaring cannon rang out again.

To tell the truth, the damage caused by the artillery bombardment of the Dashun army was really not big, because compared with the Liaozhen army at this time, the Shun army was a bit similar to the difference between the Hunan army and the Huai army of Li Hongzhang of Zeng Guofan and the Beiyang New Army of Yuan Shikai.

It is undeniable that both Li Hongzhang and Zeng Guofan are masters of a generation, and they are also pioneers of a generation who open their eyes to the world and are willing to bow their heads to learn from the West, but the vast majority of what they introduced is only Western weapons and equipment, but Yuan Shikai is the first person who really pushed China to modernization in terms of army building.

This difference comes back to the current battlefield, that is, the gunners of the invading army just stuff the shells into the barrel indiscriminately, and the fire on the opposite side is over, and they don't care about the landing point, damage, and the range brought by the charge, but the gunners of the Liaozhen soldiers are like having eyes, even if they are solid iron balls, they can knock down a large number of people with one hit.

But it can't be denied that the morale boost brought by these roaring iron guys is still great, after the shelling, those cannon fodder troops are like recovering the momentum of the first day when they first became cannon fodder, even the wooden shield is thrown away, striding wildly, and facing the steel bullet rain of the Liao soldiers with their bodies.

is also running forward with the Guan Ning army, Wu Sangui's face is distorted like a ghost, last night he was still thinking about whether the Guan Ning army should rely on Liaodong in this great change, or die by Dashun to the end, but now, he doesn't even have a chance to repeat, his army was directly planted with more than a thousand people and horses of the Dashun Zhongtun guard, directly driving them to charge forward, Wu Sangui can no longer affect his legion.

Even behind him, he was watching with five strong men of the Shun army, even if he was trembling with anger, Wu Sangui had to helplessly do his cannon fodder role with peace of mind, and rushed forward through gritted teeth.

After so many days of fighting, I know the opponent's road too well, after three rounds of continuous shooting, the Liao Zhen army relying on the front row of trenches simply did not load, leaning against the sandbags and listening to the footsteps, when the panting and shouting were close to the ears, suddenly the front row of Liao soldiers suddenly crossed out of the trench, and suddenly a large row of bayonets stabbed and stabbed, directly overturning the Shun army in front.

The second row of Liao soldiers who immediately followed the ammunition loaded in the guns followed, and in the close combat, the muzzle of the guns was lowered, and the thigh of the soldiers who pounced fiercely was a shot, and in the screams, they easily made up a bayonet and killed them.

Hundreds of lives were earned in two hits, and this time these cannon fodder troops launched a charge too early, and when they ran to the front of the military formation, they were already out of breath, and their physical strength was at a short point.

However, today, the Dashun army showed the Liao soldiers a handful of what cannon fodder is called perfectly and thoroughly, seeing that tens of thousands of people were fighting, the earth suddenly shook, and Sun Chuanting of the command headquarters raised the telescope in amazement, and immediately shouted in disbelief.

"Is Li Zicheng crazy?"

It is no wonder that Sun Chuanting, an iron-blooded commander who does not take his own life seriously, is so shocked, the unprecedented war scene, the infantry in front is still fighting, next to the back, tens of thousands of cavalry have already launched a charge, hundreds of thousands of bowl-sized horse hooves hit the earth heavily, the horse's head wearing an iron halter exhaled a fiery breath, and the knight on horseback fiercely raised his spear and saber forward, and his mouth barely looked like a human roar, murderous and monstrous.

But this was not the Liaozhen army at the beginning, but the first to attack, was hit by the galloping cavalry group is no less than the later generations by the car to a solid intimate contact, listening to the sound of the horse's hooves behind him, first turned back in disbelief, and then those in the back row of the former Ming army screamed in fear and fled forward desperately, but did not escape a few steps before being knocked down by the galloping war horse, and then the heavy horse's hooves trampled on the bones and muscles to set off The crisp sound of Gaba Gaba, Seven or eight out of ten of the former Ming soldiers who were blocking in front of the cavalry fell under the hooves of their own horses, and the distance was full of strength to meet the enemy, and the cavalry of the Shun army just did not wield their sabers.

Hearing a strange sound behind him, Wu Sangui, who was also fighting bravely, turned his head suddenly, just a stream of blood sprayed his face violently, and subconsciously he turned around and jumped down like a dog gnawing, and several rotten donkeys rolled and tumbled into the trench dug by the soldiers of Liaozhen, and the horse's hooves leaped over his head, and big drops of blood dripped down the horse's hooves.

Cautiously poking his head out, the four Shun soldiers who were still monitoring him just now were all trampled to death on the spot by the horse's hooves, and when they died, they all stared at each other, and they couldn't believe that they had died at the hands of their own people.

For the Shun army who supervised the war, it was so cruel, not to mention the Guan Ning army, looking at the bright red blood horseshoe prints all over the ground, for a while, the anger in Wu Sangui's chest could no longer be suppressed, and a pair of eyes also turned scarlet because of anger.

"I'll go to your grandma's!"

Angrily jumped out of the trench, and in the next second, Wu Sangui pounced on the back of a passing Shunjun cavalry like a praying mantis, and in his frightened scolding, a vampire opened his mouth and gnawed on his neck, and bloody blood gushed down the corners of his mouth.

This wave of charges killed at least three or four thousand of the former Ming army Jiashun military supervision team, but the price of blood was not in vain, the bullets of Liao Zhen were cut through the formation, and the high-speed cavalry could not resist even the elite soldiers of Liao Town, and the Liao soldiers who were fighting only heard a click, and the powerful sabers had already slashed at them, and the heads of the people were flying one by one, and the hideous wounds were spraying blood from the monster's mouth.

"General be careful!"

With a bang, Yuan Dabao, who was fighting with a knife, was pushed down to the side suddenly, staggered out, and turned his head suddenly, he was also stunned for a moment, and in the fluttering sound, the sergeant who pushed him away was knocked upside down by a pegasus and flew out, and in the air, the sergeant spit out a mouthful of blood with fragments of internal organs.

More than 1,000 people of the two regiments on the front were almost all drowned in the sea of cavalry of the Shun army, seeing this tragic situation, Yuan Dabao was furious and was about to go up to the wheel with a knife, and the other Liao troops were shocked to hold his arms and waist, shouting and dragging back.

There was no need for a telescope anymore, Sun Chuanting looked at everything that was happening in front of him with a gloomy face, and for a few seconds, he shook his head with difficulty.

"Abandon the front army, form a new front with the fifth to eighth regiments, support the cantonment camp left and right, and retreat the large battalion!"

In the mournful roar of the sergeants, the Hegang Legion with bayonets once again converged forward, forming a new flesh and blood city wall, staggering, and the remnants of Yuan Dabao and his party, who had just retreated to the front, were sucked in by the opening of the city wall, and the crack had just closed, and the cavalry of the Shun army, who was howling from the beast, had already rushed to the front.

In the face of the swarming enemy troops, several regiments commanded by the front line also swung their knives forward in a heart-rending manner.

"Slaughtered these !! of the"
