Chapter 611: A Massacre

"Brother Shao Zhou, what did these Great Qin people say?" Pang Lingming knew that he had a bad temper, so after Daqin sent an envoy with a white flag to come, he asked Li Shaozhou to be in charge of the reception, and he stayed in the front-line position to command the troops to be ready to prevent accidents. But what I didn't expect was that Li Shaozhou came back directly in less than a quarter of an hour, and his face didn't seem to be good.

"These Great Qin people seem to feel good about themselves, and they demand that we must get out of the way and lay down our weapons immediately, otherwise they will continue to send troops to forcibly disarm us." Li Shaozhou's words made Pang Lingming's eyes almost pop out. He knew why Li Shaozhou's face looked so strange, after fighting for so many years, it was the first time he had encountered such a strange request, and he dared to ask the other party to lay down his weapons even after he had been defeated?

"How did you reply to them?" After being stunned for a long time, Pang Lingming remembered to ask, but heard the other party say angrily: "Directly blast back, you will come over in advance." Since they don't know how to be interested, let's fight him until he is interested. ”

"In that case, what else do you say, just fight." Pang Lingming nodded and said, "You are in charge of the front, and I will send some troops forward to launch a round of counter-charge, and I will be caught off guard and hit them." ”

"Don't worry, I'll keep the front." Li Shaozhou waved his hand and took over the command of the front, and Pang Lingming immediately drew 3,000 people from his headquarters and launched a counter-charge while the opponent's formation had not yet been reorganized, and at the same time, the rumbling cannons of the Fuxing-class battleships docked on the shore of Daku Lake also began to bombard the Great Qin Army's main formation in the distance, so as to cover Pang Lingming's actions.

For land field battles, Pang Lingming is naturally much better than Li Shaozhou, who was born in the Marine Corps, so the 3,000-strong charging troops kept changing formations on the way, and the straggler line opened made the Great Qin Army, which hurriedly grabbed its weapons, dumbfounded. But before these people could figure out why the Tiance Army would disperse their forces and pull the straggler line to charge, the weapons in the opponent's hands once again blinded themselves, and countless dense bullets accompanied these soldiers while charging fell into their own dense formation, and there were constantly countless small black dots thrown by these Tang soldiers, and after landing, the explosion on the spot was not much worse than the power of the artillery that was finally dragged over by their side.

And these stormtroop formations of the Tiance Army are still being adjusted under the constant call of their respective officers, and the mutual cover of various weapons is becoming more and more tight, and the Great Qin Army has no way to launch a counterattack in the face of the opponent's watery firepower, and even the formation that has been adjusted was instantly smashed by the firepower of the Tiance Army after the charge, and countless soldiers were torn to pieces by the countless bullets in just a moment. The huge formation of the Great Qin army began to loosen in an instant, and in the face of countless deaths, the Great Qin army had no way to launch a counterattack at all, and even the weapons in their hands could not do much damage to the other party, and even those musket teams that boasted of being equipped with the latest weapons were constantly being completely blown up by the opponent's artillery fire that seemed to be able to accompany the infantry charge. In this way, after the only armed force of the Great Qin Army that could counterattack the Tiance Army was defeated, the Great Qin Army, which relied on the cold weapon array, had only one way to think of, that is, to rush up and entangle with the other party, so that the cold weapons in their hands had room to play. Therefore, after discovering that the musket team was strongly defeated by the other side, the generals of Great Qin immediately ignored the commotion of the front army formation and ordered the whole army to charge. Now only by suppressing the fear and agitation in the hearts of the soldiers with the order to charge, and forcing them to rush forward and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the other side, can the tide of the battle be turned by numbers. After all, the Tiance Army, whether it is the troops that launch the attack or the number of people stationed in place, is not large, as long as it can quickly push the war into hand-to-hand combat, it can have the only chance of winning.

The reaction of the Great Qin Army naturally fell in the eyes of Pang Lingming, he originally wanted to attract the other party to take the initiative to attack, so he immediately ordered the counter-charging troops to immediately start defending on the spot, and then resisted and gradually retreated. At the same time, the frontal battlefield in charge of Li Shaozhou also began to be prepared, and after the waves of anti-charge soldiers retreated, the powerful firepower immediately began to pour into the Great Qin Army, and in an instant, countless shells landed on the ground and set off an earth-shattering explosion, and the endless yellow sand was blown up by the wind after the explosion, and the lives quickly dissipated in this explosion. The Great Qin Army is not the Great Qin Light Cavalry, there is no speed of charge, and the thick armor it is equipped with is vulnerable in the face of bullets and shells, and it cannot play any protective role at all, and even becomes an accomplice after the explosion of the cannonballs in some cases, and the most important thing is that these thick armors seriously slow down the marching speed of the Great Qin Army. As a result, they simply couldn't go to the end in front of the fire net of the Tiance Army. Even the soldiers in the frontal position in charge of Li Shaozhou could aim and shoot at all the time, killing one target after another in their sight.

This kind of massacre-like battle was even reluctant to mention the soldiers themselves who participated in the battle after the war, because the enemy in front of them could not give them a strong threat at all, and the rifle in their hands could maximize their firepower on the battlefield. This kind of slaughter is not something that an iron-blooded soldier is willing to face, and what the iron-blooded soldier hopes for most is to rely on his iron blood and courage to defeat his opponent on the battlefield.

However, this massacre inadvertently helped Xuanyingwei a lot later, and when the surviving soldiers of this battle faced the more powerful and more powerful Tiance army again several years after returning to Great Qin, they had no intention of fighting at all. The brutal massacre in the desert of Egypt many years ago cast a shadow on them so much that the entire day of the twelfth month of the Apocalypse became a dark day for the whole of Tessie, and it was also a dark day for the desert.

However, at this time, Li Shaozhou and Pang Lingming did not have the slightest awareness of this, for a general like them in a battle, the gap between the number of the other party and their own made them have to stare at the pace of progress of the two sides. The other party was absolutely not allowed to get close to his main position, and if he was really rushed, then his own soldiers would not be able to pierce these old-fashioned armor soldiers equipped with thick armor with bayonets. So the two of them were almost constantly urging to pour as much firepower as possible on the battlefield. The six machine guns spit out tongues of fire all the time, harvesting the lives in front of them. The attached tank was bubbling hot air shortly afterward, forcing the loader in front to unscrew his own kettle and pour water over the barrel to dissipate heat.

"They began to loosen up, leaving all the reserves of the two positions ready." Behind Pang Lingming, the heralds followed the orders and shuttled constantly, and quickly issued orders to all combat units. In the face of the powerful firepower, although the Great Qin generals in the rear kept shouting and asking the troops around them to step forward one by one, they could not stop the killing of the spear of death spouted from the two positions in the distance. Therefore, Pang Lingming soon saw the slightest commotion in the rear of the Great Qin army continuing to expand, and immediately ordered all reserves to be ready to prepare immediately and be ready to enter the counterattack at any time. Pang Lingming was originally crazy on the battlefield, and after the battle started, no one could stop him, and his idea at this time was to completely eliminate this Great Qin army.

"General Pang, are we really going to completely destroy them?" Li Shaozhou immediately rushed over after receiving Pang Lingming's order and said, "Let's let a few live mouths go back, otherwise we will fight for the big cannibals." ”

Li Shaozhou's words made Pang Lingming hesitate slightly, and then understood the meaning of the other party's words, but he still pointed to the distance with regret and said loudly: "It's a pity, but in that case, let the reserves rush forward, and how much they can escape depends on their creation." ”

Pang Lingming's advance investment in the reserves can indeed play a role in dispersing the Great Qin Army, but the last sentence made Li Shaozhou couldn't help but shake his head, and secretly sighed that these guys who killed blood in the northwest were really more ruthless than themselves, how much could the other party escape if they charged? More than half of the 40,000 people have fallen by now, and how much can they escape if they catch up and fight again? However, Li Shaozhou did not stop Pang Lingming's move, and the charge resounded throughout the battlefield soon after, and countless soldiers of the Tiance Army began to jump out of the trenches and rush forward, and all kinds of explosions began to sound again.

Looking at the soldiers rushing forward like a tide, Pang Lingming also relaxed and said, "After this battle, we are only afraid that we will have to rest for a while." I don't know why this big cannibal is so bad, hundreds of thousands of people have been fighting in Central Asia for half a year and have not been able to move forward. ”

"Can they have the weapons and equipment we have?" Li Shaozhou knew that this guy hadn't been addicted, so he muttered about these uselessness, but then said: "The tactics of the big cannibals are indeed problematic, they have such good light cavalry but they don't know how to use it, if the light cavalry is concentrated to attack Daqin's main formation, I'm afraid that the big battle will end as soon as possible." ”

"Brother Shao Zhou, you are too interested in the speed of the light cavalry, don't you think the other party's heavy armor is against the light cavalry? And so many ironclads are the nemesis of light cavalry. Pang Lingming knew that the Marine Corps did not have a full-time cavalry unit, so after saying a word, he began to explain in detail to the other party the restraint and advantages and disadvantages between these various arms. The two of them didn't pay attention to the battle in front of them, and the soldiers of the Tiance Army had already reached the decisive stage at this time, and after breaking up the opponent's large array, they began to press the other party's pace and push backwards, and these heavily armored Great Qin Army couldn't keep up with the speed and were killed in large numbers on the retreating road. By the time Pang Lingming announced the withdrawal of his troops, only a few thousands of people had abandoned their armor and weapons and fled back as soon as they saw the opportunity, and almost all of the rest were killed on the spot, and there were not even many prisoners.

The outcome of this battle was also learned by Elidoan after the escapees returned to Phoenicia Harbor, and he was surprised by the huge casualties and the autumn wind of the Tiance Army's autumn wind and leaves-like tactics, and the opponent did not give himself the slightest chance to fight with real swords and guns, which also made him feel as if he had faintly provoked a behemoth that should not be provoked. More than 40,000 people, except for the less than 5,000 who escaped, all other losses were lost. Such a huge loss made Elidogan, who had been very difficult to transport troops, suddenly face the situation of being short of troops again. Although he urged the convoy to return to the mainland at about the same moment to bring more troops, and sent the thousands of people who had fled directly back in order to block the news, the results of the Battle of Great Bitter Lake on the Southern Front spread quickly after that, and even the Great Cannibal knew about it. Suddenly, Eridoan found that his situation in Egypt had become bad, almost a missed move, and he was in a difficult situation in an instant, his weakness was exposed to the Great Eclipse, and the shock of the Great Cannibal brought by the previous Battle of Phoenicia was quickly dissipated.

Unbeknownst to Elidogan, however, an even bigger concern was about to loom before his eyes. The less than 5,000 survivors he sent back were completely beaten to the point of losing their spirits, and after returning home, they began to tell the people around them what happened to them in Egypt, and the bloody massacre was also revealed. Nearly 40,000 people were all killed in the first battle, and the desert that had been stained red for thousands of years after the blood stained the yellow sand, this scene made all the Great Qin people mourn. This triggered the war-weariness in Daqin that was suppressed by the news of the previous war.

Eridoan was unknown in Egypt, but when his reinforcements arrived in the port of Phoenicia, the news was known to him, and he almost carried the famous naval warlord headlong into the sea. Almost just the battle damage of the First World War brought such a big consequence, so that Eridogan wanted to rush directly to Pang Lingming and Li Shaozhou to question him face to face, but at this time he had no chance to advance south. Because the reinforcements from the eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea were already approaching Phoenicia, he had to concentrate on the battle.

Pang Lingming and Li Shaozhou's achievements were then quickly transferred back to the base camp of the Western Expeditionary Army in Shule, although they were thousands of miles away, Wan Yi still quickly saw the new changes that Pang Lingming's battle brought to the battle situation, and soon after, the secret guard also relayed the news that Qin Kong had received from the Byzantine side.

"It looks like we're going to change too, otherwise I'm afraid that Da Shi will take the initiative again. These boys are really not light or heavy. Gauss Ji looked at the information in his hand and smiled bitterly. He had the same idea as Wan Yi, hoping that Da Qin and Da Shi would not appear on the battlefield and not have too much deviation, lest the battle situation get out of their control.

"I said two marshals, why don't you want to think about it, these two people have killed so many people, what will our foreign affairs department give to Daqin at that time?" Liu Xuan saw that these two people did not pay any attention to the casualties of nearly 40,000 people, and immediately smiled bitterly.

"What can you explain? My Tang army protects the people and property of the empire from being violated, and if you have the ability, Eledogan can send more troops south. Gao Siji smiled and said: "Chief of Staff, you are too careful, I don't think the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can say that this time I have to dig up some treasures from Daqin." As soon as he said this, Wan Yi couldn't stop the smile on the corner of his mouth.
