Chapter 453: Hui Ao Bai 5
"Stop shooting,"
"Stop shooting,"
"Stop shooting,"
The constant transmission of the password caught the soldiers of the Huaxia Army hiding behind the smoke of gunpowder by surprise, they were fighting happily, and they were told to stop shooting, they still heard the enemy's charge and screams in the smoke, why did they stop?
The Huaxia Army, as in the past, always fought while advancing, or fighting while retreating, even if they had granular black powder, but every time tens of thousands of people fired, it still caused too much smoke in the front line, affecting the line of sight of shooting, if before, they could still adjust it, but now the officer commanding them told them to shoot like they usually shoot at the target, no matter what can hit the enemy, salvo, one piece, one in one direction, as long as the bullets are thrown into the smoke.
The reality is that the effect is too good, and soon Merlin Yu and Zhu Ge found that they wasted too much ammunition, the enemy in the smoke was basically put down, and the enemy did not invest more troops to charge, and the soldiers of the Huaxia Army fired several salvos in vain, consuming at least tens of thousands of bullets and tens of thousands of catties of gunpowder, which was embarrassing.
The two men were very annoyed, and immediately ordered to adjust the rhythm, retreat and exit a clearing, and wait for the smoke to dissipate.
As the smoke gradually dissipated, Xiao Fei held his binoculars and looked carefully, there was silence in the Huaxia army array in front, and the Qing army camp in the distance was also silent, only the screams of some wounded who were not dead in the middle were faint, and the sound gradually became louder, becoming miserable and desolate, even if he was in the rear for a few miles, Xiao Fei could vaguely hear the screams and wails in front of him.
This is a kind of mental torture for the soldiers in the arrays on both sides, not to mention the Qing army, the morale of the Huaxia army is also a very heavy blow, in case one day, the enemy will also do this to himself, then will he be as miserable as those green battalions and people in the middle, young and strong?
Aobai's hands were trembling, of course he also saw the battle ahead, his Chinese army had been advancing, and now it was only three miles away from the battlefield, 1,500 meters away, maybe it was not clear to the naked eye, but the monoculars could clearly see the tragic situation of the battlefield.
Miserable, tragic, maybe he is not worried about the death of these Han soldiers, but seeing the misery of the Han soldiers, can you imagine if it is Manchurian?
Not a single soldier ran fifty or sixty meters away from the enemy's front line to shoot arrows, not even a war horse, and the farthest soldier only ran to more than seventy meters before being killed.
It was 15,000 soldiers, and in less than half an hour they were slaughtered like pigs.
Ao Bai bit his lip and said to the guards beside him: "Transfer the new army in that town to go up, transfer all the artillery up, arrange five thousand Mongolian cavalry to assault the enemy's artillery on the left flank, and arrange the cavalry of the green battalion and the Han army banner to assault the enemy's left flank on the right flank, where the terrain is complicated, the enemy's queue does not look as dense as other places, let me penetrate their left flank, and then sweep through from the left flank to the middle, and be sure to destroy the enemy's new army firearms unit." ”
The guards were just about to convey the order, but Ao Bai stopped him, "Take the remaining green battalion soldiers and people, and the captured people into a large phalanx, line up in front of the new army, let them attack the enemy's ranks, let the new army send cavalry to supervise, and the new army will take the opportunity to bully the enemy's front line." ”
Ao Bai is not stupid, he heard Hong Chengchou say that the muskets and artillery in the hands of his troops are all copied from the Huaxia Army, and there is no way to compare the range and power with others, so he sent cannon fodder troops to continue to interfere with the enemy, consume the enemy's bullets and gunpowder, and then let the new army go up to attack the enemy.
The Qing army's tactics were very traditional, but they were very practical, and the Qing army used this method to open up many well-guarded fortified cities of the Ming army, many of which were fortified cities with tall walls like Nanchang Mansion.
Seeing that the Qing army continued to send people to act as cannon fodder, Merlin Yu and Brother Zhu also felt a headache, these are Han people, the Qing army is really not a thing, this is a sin to the back of the Huaxia army, they are not Zhang Qiang from later generations, for those people of the Ming Dynasty, those soldiers who betrayed the Han court and surrendered to foreign races have no feelings at all, in Zhang Qiang's eyes, those Han people who often regard themselves as Chinese people after going abroad, but ignore their own blood, if you keep to yourself, you can do it, but you have become a scum who resolutely opposes China, Compared with other people's own people, they are xenophobic, ostracize Chinese, and underestimate Chinese, which makes Zhang Qiang angry and does not treat them as human beings at all.
In their eyes, those are forced to do so, they are all their compatriots of the Han people, the people, if they continue to fight like this, on the territory of the Qing army, the Huaxia army must be the devil, it must be morally corrupt, it must be a foreign race, not a Han people, how can there be such a treatment of the Han people, the Huaxia army, as the court of the Han people, will inevitably become the devil on the territory occupied by all the Qing army, and will be demonized.
Seeing that the Huaxia army was so stunned on the battlefield, watching the enemy dispatch troops and arranging troops, Zhang Qiang was angry and didn't fight anywhere, and immediately sent a herald to give Xiao Fei an order, "Get moving, I don't want to see the Huaxia army lose and be defeated, kill those Qing soldiers for me, whether they are Han or Manchu, this is a war, not a play, you have to make adjustments according to the enemy's arrangement." ”
The battlefield was dozens of miles away from Changsha Mansion in an open area outside the county seat, Zhang Qiang's herald soldiers quickly delivered Zhang Qiang's order in less than an hour, and Xiao Fei hurriedly transferred Zhang Qiang's order to Merlin and Brother Zhu at the front.
Although the two men were unwilling to slaughter their Han compatriots, they had to carry out the order, and the military discipline of the Huaxia Army was very strict, and if they dared to disobey, the military intelligence department and the personal guards would immediately remove them from their posts and replace them with deputies.
The two of them don't want to lose the official position of the chief soldier they just promoted, the highest military rank of the field brigade is the deputy general, the highest military rank of the cavalry brigade is the general, and the artillery brigade is the garrison, they have a huge field brigade, so they are promoted to the general army, to this point, if it is the Ming Dynasty, it is also the sky, but there are still admirals here in the Huaxia Army, and there are higher positions, and they still want to be promoted.
I don't want to be removed now, and then turn back to the rear to serve as an idle post and throw it into the military department, so many shameful, the Huaxia Army is a unit that is proud of its military exploits and leading the position, and you have changed from a real military general to an idle civilian official, that is, you have fallen out of favor and lost a lot of people.
But at this time, the Qing army has been pressed by a large army, and the adjustment can not be done big, if the team is chaotic during the adjustment, affecting the firepower output, then the battle will be lost, so the two of them invariably made a retreat of 100 meters, giving up the space for muskets and artillery to play, and also giving the enemy room to attack, otherwise the enemy will only trek hard in the pile of 15,000 corpses in front, and the formation is scattered, which is not conducive to the fire salvo of the Huaxia army to achieve results.
Seeing that the Huaxia army retreated, the formation was a little chaotic, because of the terrain, and even some queues were divided and scattered, the Qing army felt that the Huaxia army was afraid, and they accelerated their pace, urging their comrades around them to speed up their pace and get out of the quagmire death zone full of corpses as soon as possible.
Seeing that the enemy's rear was followed by the troops of the new army, the artillery of the Huaxia army took the lead in firing and striking at the enemy's troops at a distance of more than 800 meters.
The depth of their battlefield is only 800 meters, and they are all shrouded in the artillery fire of the Huaxia army, and it is their only choice to speed up their pace and advance, or retreat, to retreat beyond the enemy's artillery fire, so that they can get rid of this kind of enemy artillery torture, but it is impossible to retreat, they can only advance.
The artillery of the Qing army also opened fire, and from a distance of 800 meters, they could also hit the formation of the Huaxia army, so the Huaxia army inevitably had to be artillery.
The artillery of the Huaxia Army resolutely counterattacked.
