Chapter 542: Heavy Blow
After the first soldier shouted out Lei Gong, this kind of rumor of heavenly punishment and divine thunder became more and more widespread, and the more outrageous it became.
Even the Chinese army and the rear army, who stayed where they were on call, opened their mouths wide and were dumbfounded.
Who can believe that the Xuanwu Army fired one shell after another, and when it fell in the army, it became a thunderbolt?
I have to believe it!
In the eyes of all the soldiers, the Xuanwu Army is blessed by heaven and has the favor of the gods!
Although the shells did not fall on the middle and rear armies, the impact on the morale of the troops was already great.
It can be said that it is collapsed!
If, before everyone's morale was still high and they had the ambition to defeat the Xuanwu Army, then after two consecutive rounds of shells, the coalition soldiers no longer had any confidence in defeating the Xuanwu Army.
After all, the Xuanwu Army has the help of the gods!
It is natural for human beings to worship nature and fear the power of heaven and earth, and when they know that this power of heaven and earth is controlled by the Xuanwu army, there is only fear left in their hearts.
Isn't fighting an army favored by the gods to bring about your own destruction?
Therefore, before the Chinese army and the rear army moved, the morale of the army was almost depleted, and the formation was full of noise, and the soldiers even exchanged their heads and ears, and some soldiers with poor psychological quality were full of fear in their eyes.
Many of the soldiers who participated in the battle for the first time were so frightened that their faces turned white and their bodies trembled.
In the cold of October, there was faint sweat on their foreheads.
Many people have a feeling as if there is a god looking down on their heads, condemning them to death.
Finished!
How will this battle be fought?
No matter how you fight, you lose!
A kind of despair rose in the hearts of the allied soldiers.
Even, some people began to look forward to the fact that those soldiers in the rear army would run away quickly, and everyone would be able to run together at that time!
Not only the low-level soldiers think so, but also those high-ranking generals actually think the same way.
How to fight?
No matter how you fight, you lose!
Of course, those who can become high-level generals are at least at the level of 10,000 generals, and they still have a little more knowledge, and they don't think that the Xuanwu Legion has been helped by Thor like the low-level generals, in comparison, they are more inclined to believe that this is a new weapon of Cangguo.
Just like the cavalry, heavy cavalry, crossbow chariots, and trebuchets of the past, every time they appeared, because the soldiers were completely unfamiliar, they caused panic and did not know how to deal with it.
The difference is that this new weapon is more powerful than those of the past.
The effect is even more sensational!
Seeing that the front army that was charging was blown to pieces, the flesh and blood were blurred, and the three of Gongsun Zhi were also blank in their minds.
Finished!
This battle is lost!
The three managers thought to themselves that it was not the number of people who died.
It's about winning or losing!
According to the laws of history, every time the Cangguo army held back its strength and used new weapons, it would win by surprise and gain the upper hand steadily.
This time, it was clear that it had been reached.
After a few rounds of shelling, the front army suffered countless casualties, and those soldiers who were bombed were miserable and blurred in flesh and blood, even if they just looked at it a few times, they felt terrified.
"How, how can this be ......?"
Tang Mu's teeth chattered, he was not frightened, but he was stunned when he thought of the consequences of the fiasco he was about to suffer.
The same fear also filled Ruan Funing's heart.
Once destroyed here, whether Ruan can win or not in the next war, it has nothing to do with him, because after losing these troops, he, the king of Ning, will soon lose his position in Ruan and be suppressed by the rest of the princes.
The prince who has lost his military power is a toothless tiger, no matter how strong he looks, he is not an opponent of a wolf.
"We ...... Do you want to withdraw your troops? Ruan Funing asked in a deep voice.
He was already afraid, those heavenly thunders had not fallen in front of him for the time being, but who knew if it would be later?
Withdrawing troops can be regarded as a way to preserve strength.
Hearing this, Gongsun turned his head sideways, glanced at him, his face was gloomy, and he shook his head without saying a word.
Withdrawal?
Are you kidding?
Take the initiative to withdraw the army, let that terrifying weapon pursue behind, can the army escape?
Rushing through the defense line of the Xuanwu Army, there is still a glimmer of life in the battle between the two armies, if you take the initiative to retreat, you will only be chased away in the future.
Of these 800,000 troops, it would be good if they could escape back 300,000.
Moreover, if this battle is a crushing defeat, the strategic initiative will be lost, and the coalition forces will only be defeated.
"Let's wait and see what happens, according to the tactics formulated before, continue to attack, don't be panicked by this new weapon, when the two armies meet and fight together, this new weapon will be useless."
After observing for a while, Gongsun Zhi also saw something strange, that is, these terrifying heavenly thunders seemed to be the same as trebuchets, they were all indiscriminate attacks, in other words, as long as the coalition forces could withstand the attack before the melee, there was still hope of victory.
Hearing Gongsun Zhi say this, Ruan Funing and Tang Mu also sighed separately, there was nothing they could do.
Yes, if you insist on fighting this battle, even if you lose, you can pull into a lose-lose situation, or a draw.
If you retreat, even if you keep your troops temporarily, you will still be hunted down sooner or later.
Thinking about it, the three commanders once again set their eyes on the front army.
The charge is already halfway there.
But the situation was not good, and many of the soldiers ran and ran, unable to bear the pressure, and fell to their knees, begging the gods for forgiveness.
Some of the soldiers simply threw away their armor and fled.
Even the overseers who followed behind didn't have the heart to kill the deserters, but became deserters themselves.
In a short time, the battlefield was full of soldiers.
"Foolish!"
Seeing this, Gongsun stopped his anger from his heart, slapped the wood on the chariot heavily, and scolded in his heart, the soldiers at the bottom are really stupid, they all believe that this is the help of the thunder god, what is the use of kneeling and begging for mercy, that kind of terrifying weapon does not have long eyes!
The front army had a total of more than 100,000 soldiers, and after more than a dozen rounds of shells, they basically had no ability to charge.
"Order the cavalry to charge, be sure to cut a hole and let the middle army and the rear army come to the top!"
Gongsun Zhi gave the order, and every rumbling of artillery fire seemed to hit him in the heart, so that he had to order the cavalry to act in advance.
The combined forces of the Three Kingdoms totaled more than 50,000 light cavalry and 20,000 heavy cavalry.
What Gongsun Zhi was referring to, of course, could not be a bulky heavy cavalry.
After receiving the order, 50,000 light cavalry immediately rode out to meet the resounding artillery fire, which was mighty and amazing!
"Boom-"
A cannonball, which fell in the ranks of the cavalry in the charge......
