Text: Fight Annam VI again
Li Jun, Zheng Jie watched the smoke and sparks from the artillery array from a distance, and felt very uncomfortable. At this time, an officer covered in black and wounded walked up to Zheng Jie, knelt down and cried bitterly: "Prime Minister! Our army, our army's artillery array is gone, and the soldiers have suffered heavy casualties! The end will be incompetent! Please send the prime minister, woo ......! ”
"Could it be that today I, Zheng Jie, will be defeated here, no, our firearms are all from the Franco, how can it be so easy to defeat." Zheng Jie's face was helpless, thinking for a while, Zheng Jie's fists clenched and gritted his teeth: "Whether it's success or failure, that's luck!" Liu Hongliang, hurry up and reorganize your artillery team and prepare to fight again! ”
"But Prime Minister, the enemy's artillery has a long range......!"
"Don't be wordy, do it now!"
"Honor!"
"Ruan Wencheng, order you to lead 3,000 iron cavalry, step on the enemy's artillery array, if defeated, cut off yourself!"
"The last general commands."
"Wang Qing, the two of you will lead 10,000 spears, swords, and shields to attack in line with the cavalry! This battle is only allowed to be won, not defeated! I will definitely sacrifice my life to take care of your family! ”
"The last general commands!"
Zheng Jie looked at the generals with solemn faces, and then bowed deeply and said: "Colleagues, if you and I are unhappy on weekdays, I Zheng Jie will accompany you, today, the enemy army is fierce and extremely strong, and our army has no way to retreat." Behind him is the belly of our country, you and I are all here, and the emperor is also there! Today, as soon as you retire, the young generals of our family will die in the flames of war. For the emperor, for the family, for the people, the soldiers should bravely kill the enemy and die on the battlefield! ”
"Kill the enemy bravely and die on the battlefield! Kill the enemy bravely and die on the battlefield! ”
Taking advantage of the confusion of the enemy's formation, Chen Jian advanced the four-pounder and six-pounder Fran cannons forward by 300 meters, with the 1st, 2nd, and 5th armies following at the same time, and the cavalry on both sides of the Mozambican army behind in order to obtain the required distance for acceleration. The smoke from enemy positions has not yet cleared. Nguyen Van Thanh gathered 3,000 cavalry and accelerated at this time. Thousands of cavalry shook the earth, and the dull sound and slight tremor of the earth reached the battle formation of the two heroic armies. Ma Lie was born in cavalry, and suddenly felt that the earth seemed to move. With years of experience, Ma Lie immediately bent down and listened with his ears close to the ground. In less than ten seconds, Ma Lie jumped up and shouted: "Thousands of enemy cavalry are out to fight, hurry up and prepare for battle." ”
The information spread quickly, but before all the troops were in place, the enemy was already 500 meters away from the artillery position. Chen Chun looked at the menacing cavalry and gave an urgent order: "Fire a cannon, immediately abandon the cannon and leave." Fire! ”
At this time, more than 50 guns were loaded, and all the guns were ignited one after another, regardless of the accuracy of the firing angle. "Boom! Rumble! ……。 After the ignition, everyone rushed back, and about 50 shells collided with the enemy horse. The horses were hit by cannonballs, and the whole horse flew up and smashed into the cavalry behind them. Some of the shells ricocheted, breaking the legs of five or six horses in a row before stopping. For a while, people turned on their backs, and the enemy lost more than 100 horses.
In less than thirty seconds, the enemy cavalry rushed into the front artillery array, and a dozen or so soldiers were slashed and killed one by one before they could return in time. Three hundred meters behind was the eight-pounder long-range artillery, at which time the Fifth Army was in formation. Twenty tiger squat cannons lined up. The gunner held the shell on the muzzle, and the other gunner lit the arquebus. "Dang!" The shell fell into the barrel. "Boom......!" This improved Tiger Squat Cannon has an extremely fast rate of fire, capable of firing three rounds in ten seconds. All of a sudden, the artillery array in front of him burst into a rain of bullets, and the men and horses were hit by the dense rain of bullets, and flesh and blood flew sideways. There were more than 700 horsemen in front of him, and less than 30 horses could charge, and the front was empty. Ruan Van Cheng became a sibling who died tragically in front, gritted his teeth and waved his army to continue to advance. The soldiers of the Lebanese army regarded death as if they were at home, and galloped straight on their horses. "Boom! ……! "There was another round of bullet rain, and the corpses of men and horses fell in front of the two heroes, and the ground was stained red with blood, and the dry ground became muddy. Death can make people weak, but in the presence of the strong, death makes their blood aroused. The cavalry behind marched forward on the corpses of their comrades.
Chen Zhongxin found that many recruits were nervous, and some seemed to be timid, so he shouted in front of the team: "Hold on to me, hold the gun steady, and those who retreat, kill!" ”
The officers of each team spoke one after another: "Stabilize the position, don't lose face to Lao Tzu......!" ”
A hundred meters, Chen Zhongxin gave the order to open fire, and the first row of three hundred guns fired at the same time. Then the second row, the third row, the fourth row! The enemy cavalry fell round after round like wheat harvesting. Some of the wounded horses fell and got up and scurried, and the rear cavalry crashed into the horses and turned them on their backs. On the battlefield, there was a lot of gunfire, horses and people screaming and crying. However, the enemy army advanced at the risk of death despite heavy losses. Thirty meters, the two heroic troops poured out their combat strength. Muskets were fired in volleys, and numerous grenades were thrown at the enemy. However, the two sides were very close, and many horses and cavalry used inertia to rush into the formation, causing casualties to the two heroes. Twenty riders suddenly jumped out of the billowing smoke, and the distance between the two sides was less than thirty meters. The Shuangxiong army was also affected by the bomb at this time, and the ranks were somewhat chaotic. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the military leader wearing gold armor and a red cloak on his back carried a gun and went straight in. The horses crashed into the formation, and five soldiers were knocked away, and the commander of the army shouted, "Ah! The spear cut an arc, and six or seven soldiers of the two heroes were cut in unison, blood shot straight out, and they fought in close combat, and the muskets lost their advantage. The Shuangxiong army relied on the numerical advantage to block the speed of the cavalry, and in less than two minutes, more than a hundred soldiers lay on the ground! Chen Zhongxin saw that the soldiers kept falling, and more than twenty horsemen had entered the middle of the formation. A dozen soldiers swarmed forward, stabbed their horses with bayonets, and stabbed one of the enemy horsemen to death. But on the other hand, seven or eight people fell. Such battles continued to be staged, and the five horsemen in front of them, among the thousands of troops, were like entering a no-man's land, and blood and flesh flew everywhere they passed, and the sound of misery was everywhere.
"Hurry up and take the rope ring, I want to capture these five Death God Shura alive!" After saying that, Chen Zhongxin led more than 30 people to take out ropes and surround them, there were still more than 20 people in front of them to entangle the five horses, everyone rushed to dozens of rope circles and shook a few times and then went to the enemy cavalry lasso, up and down the work, after all, they couldn't resist, the three people were covered with heads, the soldiers pulled people off the horse and dragged back, dozens of soldiers rushed to tie their hands and feet. The remaining two horses were tied to the horse's head, and everyone pulled the two horses to the ground with force, but the man in the cloak was very sensitive, and when the horse fell, he quickly jumped up and left the horse! Dozens of ropes were scattered, but the spear in the commander's hand was so dripping that it could not be lassoed.
"TMD, throw the net!" More than a dozen nets were covered in all directions, and the spears were entangled in the nets, and the head of the army could not dance no matter how strong he was, and finally he was captured! The battle ended with more than 200 casualties. But Chen Zhongxin looked at the other party, my obedient, a team of tens of thousands of people from 500 meters away is coming.
The Li army, 10,000 people lined up in the front and rear phalanxes, and Wang Qing commanded the first phalanx to march forward in order. A huge king-shaped handsome flag fluttered in the wind. Beneath his feet were countless small bullet nests and the corpses of friendly soldiers. The soldiers walked past the corpses of their accomplices, their faces tense and expressionless, and the splatters of blood and mud stained their lower bodies red, but no one paid attention to them, and the pungent bloody breath did not make them feel the slightest discomfort, because this army was the elite of the Li Dynasty, and they had already experienced many life and death decisions. Death is no longer a threat!
In the Shuangxiong Army, Li Xiang's first army replaced Chen Zhongxin's troops, and Chen Zhongxin led the team to escort the prisoners of war and retreated with his dead and wounded brothers. At this time, the Mo army also mobilized a team of 8,000 people to follow the First Army to unload the enemy.
Twenty tiger squat cannons were quickly raised to the front of the ranks, and the army of 2,000 men was divided into four columns. Li Xiang commanded in the artillery array. Two hundred meters, the first round of shells hit. The shells exploded above the enemy formation, and the "Woo" shells exploded, scattering countless lead stones on the enemy formation, and a rustling sound sounded. Although the enemy was wearing iron armor and iron helmets, countless steel bullets still pierced through the iron armor, and the front of the dense phalanx suddenly recessed, and the soldiers who did not die wailed on the ground. Those who can walk or crawl leave in both directions, and the team behind them continues to move forward regardless of whether they are alive or dead in front of them. Those who are seriously injured and unable to move are trampled to death by friendly troops.
Advancing to a distance of 100 meters, the phalanx of 5,000 people was killed and wounded more than 1,000 people. Li Xiang looked at the corpse-like enemy army and said, "Steady!" Wait until the enemy is closer! ”
Wang Qing looked at the dense musket array, and calculated in his heart, if he moved forward slowly and neatly like this, it would definitely not work. For the sake of victory, Wang Qing roared, soldiers, for the sake of the family behind him, rush! After roaring, Wang Qing waved the battle flag and drove the army forward, and the small army leaders raised the team flag and shouted slogans to lead the charge. Suddenly, the sound overshadowed everything, and the neat procession turned into a chaotic crowd.
Seventy meters, the muskets of the two heroes fired in turns, and the enemy in front fell again in pieces like wheat harvesting! But the locust-like enemy still resisted the loss of advancing a meter by meter! It was less than 50 meters away. The two armies remained composed, and at such a close distance, the enemy was struggling under the heavy firepower. The Twin Heroes were able to kill almost one for every shot. The corpses were piled up in a low wall. But the constant firing overheated the barrel, and although the quality was good and did not explode, it was hot to hold the barrel. The gunfire suddenly thinned out a lot. Li Xiang was anxious at this time. I can't take care of much. In a hurry, he roared: "The brothers in the first three rows raised their guns and prepared for hand-to-hand combat, and the second row in the back threw bombs." ”
As soon as the words fell, there was a sound of men and horses shouting behind him, and the earth shook, and the enemy army in front looked at the countless cavalry killed on both sides of the Shuangxiong army, and was suddenly suppressed. Wang Qing drove desperately, but the soldiers had been overwhelmed by the straw of the cavalry, and some timid people hurriedly retreated, infecting all the soldiers in an instant, and a rout was inevitable!
Wang Qing was mixed in the chaotic team at this time, and he didn't know the generals. And the cavalry flanked in two directions, and crashed into the chaotic crowd at once. Wherever they went, the enemy soldiers were knocked down and knocked into the air. The screams were incessant, and the enemy soldiers, who had lost the will to resist, rushed back to the musket phalanx like a torrent. Will stand in front of the army and order the soldiers to shout in unison, those who dare to rush into the army will be unforgivable for their crimes and small killings!
The loud shouts woke most of the rebels, and they boldly turned back to kill the cavalry, but most of them quickly dispersed to the sides, and some headless flies continued to crash into the phalanx. A few rounds of gunfire knocked down the 100 men in front, and the people behind turned around and fought to the death with the cavalry. And the Zero Foot Soldier is like a moth in front of the cavalry! The torrent of cavalry immediately overwhelmed them and rushed straight towards the phalanx.
Seventy meters away, five columns of musketeers fired one after another and then retreated back to the rear of the formation in an orderly manner, revealing a long spear formation, and one spear after another made a trend of rejecting the horses, forming a forest of spears. When the 4,000 cavalry were fired by muskets, due to the huge target, they fell down in pieces at once, and the people turned on their backs, and the cavalry behind them were also affected, and many of them fell on their backs. Fortunately, the enemy's muskets were complicated and could not continue to fire, and after paying more than 300 horsemen, they came into contact with the enemy.
The cavalry crashed into the pike, a spear pierced the horses, but the inertia did not stop the wounded horses, their bodies of hundreds of pounds crashed into the formation, pressing the pikemen array out of dents, and the cavalry behind continued to crash in, and the pikemen from time to time stabbed the cavalry to death. However, for every cavalry killed, five to eight pikemen were killed or wounded. The phalanx of spears, having lost their numerical superiority, began to be overwhelmed. But the Lebanese army was well-trained, and the soldiers gave up useless resistance and quickly gathered on both sides or in crowded places, forming a dense team of dozens of people, and stabbing at the cavalry rushing forward and on both sides! Caught the Mohs cavalry off guard! However, the Mozambican cavalry did not intend to resist to the death, and began to fight along both sides of the gap, and there were their own infantry behind them, so there was no need to cripple the valuable cavalry. After paying 1,300 horses before and after, he successfully left the battlefield! The 5,000 troops behind also rushed towards the enemy from 300 meters away.
Wang Qing and Jiang Ding hurriedly packed up the remnants of the army to form a formation to resist, hastily lined up into an array of 3,000 people, and the Mo army had already been killed. The Mo army followed the momentum and hit the enemy formation with a shield on his shoulder, and many soldiers directly hit the knife edge and the tip of the gun. However, the dead soldiers under the huge impact still broke up the enemy formation, and the soldiers behind took advantage of the situation to make up for the killing of the enemy, and all of a sudden, the two sides formed a formation or a human wall, pushing each other like playing rugby. Some of the soldiers of the Mozambican army rushed up the human wall and jumped down into the enemy formation, and most of them were hacked to death with knives and guns. However, some of the airdrops were successful, and they made gaps in the enemy formation. In the end, the human wall was torn down by the Mo army. The scales of victory tipped in favor of the Mozambican army, and the soldiers slaughtered into the chaotic enemy formation like a flood. Caught the Li army off guard and unable to resist!
On the occasion of the victory, bursts of artillery rang out in the rear of the Lebanese army. It was the sound of tiger squatting cannons, and when the soldiers on both sides fought fiercely, countless shells, leads, and steel balls fell. Bursts of blood splattered, and soldiers on both sides fell in pieces. After three rounds of shelling. The musket phalanx of the Lebanese army was pushed up, and a row of guns wiped out the fighting soldiers.
Mo Jingkuan looked at this scene with a telescope, his eyes were suddenly red, and he was angry. Mo Jingkuan shook his fist fiercely and said angrily: "Such a means is too much to deceive people!" I won't destroy you Zheng Jie today, and I swear not to be a person! The princes listen to the order, and I want to levy it in person. ”
"Your Majesty, by all means, you are the king of a country, if you are not a little different, how can it be good? Yes, Your Majesty ......! ”
"There is no need to persuade me, now that the enemy army is at the end of its strength, I made this decision, General Huang, you ordered the cavalry to disperse the enemy formation, and I led the remaining 5,000 infantry to sweep later. Brother Chen, you two are helping on both sides of our army, this time, let you see the combat strength of my Mo Dynasty soldiers. ”
"It's rare that King Mo is bold, my two brothers dare not obey?!"
"Okay, then let's order our troops and go!"
Thousands of cavalry rushed to the enemy position, and seventy meters away, the opponent's muskets fired another volley, only to see white smoke coming out of the barrels of the guns. The cavalry in front were shot one after another and fell, but this did not stop the cavalry from advancing. This time, absorbing the lessons of the last time, the team was relatively scattered, and there was no scene where one horse fell and several horses were implicated. In the end, with a loss of more than 300 cavalry, they broke into the enemy formation. The musket becomes a burning stick. At the mercy of others, the cavalry kept its speed and crashed straight through, and countless musketeers were knocked into the air and trampled to death. As for the fish that slipped through the net, no one paid attention to it, because the ultimate target was the artillery array behind the enemy, and the thousands of infantry behind him would also clear the field. At this time, the two male armies protected the two wings and advanced together, and the whole army of more than 10,000 people was very spectacular. And the square in the middle, a huge yellow battle flag is even more eye-catching.
Zheng Jie sat in the tent and thought, and suddenly the herald hurriedly returned to report: "Report to the Prime Minister, the enemy's entire army has made a contribution, and the cavalry has broken through our musket array, less than a mile away from our artillery array. ”
