Chapter 544: Retreat? Escape!
Enthusiasm is blood, excitement is excitement, and Han Tong's command of the war has not fallen at all.
Seeing that the coalition forces were slow to make the next move, he guessed what might be happening to the other party, so he immediately recruited the deputy marshal Qian Fang, and the two discussed for a while, and immediately decided to counterattack.
What is a counteroffensive?
For the current Xuanwu Legion, there is only one way.
That is to bombard the middle and rear armies of the coalition army with artillery fire, create chaos, and then the whole army presses on it, so as to fight disorder in order,
"Hmm...... Let's start, let our light cavalry go out, but don't get too close to the enemy, order the red-coated artillery team to immediately carry out an indiscriminate attack on the enemy's middle and rear troops, and specially mobilize ten cannons, and give the commander a fierce greeting to the 20,000 heavy cavalry. ”
"Yes!"
The herald was given the order to go, and with the army that was slowly pressing, the nearly 20,000 cavalry on the flank of the Xuanwu Army also moved slowly, approaching the coalition army.
Different from the fear and hesitation of the soldiers of the coalition army, the soldiers of the Xuanwu Army were all in high spirits and high morale.
After all, they are ordinary people!
Due to the secrecy in advance, in fact, the soldiers at the bottom did not know the existence of the red-coated cannon, and they were all dumbfounded after seeing the power of the cannonball.
There are also people who, like the coalition soldiers, used to have the help of Thor.
It wasn't until the commander's order was issued that the whole army was informed that this was the latest weapon developed by Cangguo, and at this time, all the soldiers suddenly realized that it was something they controlled.
After watching it for a quarter of an hour, they already had a basic understanding of the power of this new weapon.
Also full of confidence.
No one expected that the order to attack would come so early, and within half an hour of the start of the war, the whole army would attack.
What a surprise!
It's so exciting!
"Boom-"
"Boom-"
"Boom-"
One by one, the shells, like meteorites falling from the sky, fell one by one among the central and rear armies of the coalition forces, which immediately caused panic and chaos.
This is the experience of not coping!
Normally, after being attacked by artillery fire, you should retreat or charge decisively, rather than standing in place and waiting.
You know, people, like horses, have an instinctive fear of danger.
Horses know how to avoid trouble, let alone people?
It's impossible to stand there stupidly, waiting for enemy artillery to bombard you, right?
Seeing the robes around him fall to the ground one by one, it's impossible to be indifferent, right?
As long as it's a normal person, you know how to hide.
As a result, several rounds of shells exploded, and there was already chaos on the side of the coalition forces.
Gongsun Zhi had already woken up, dragging his sick body, and tried his best to command the army to retreat, while Tang Mu and Gongsun Zhi had long since lost their knowledge of where to go, and they should be in a hurry to go to their own camp.
Disorderly!
Extreme chaos!
It can be said that many armies have lost contact with the commander's account, and even if there is a commander's order, it cannot be communicated.
"Boom-"
At this time, a cannonball landed just three feet away from the handsome tent.
"Dashuai!"
Fortunately, a group of guards were protecting him, but only a few guards died, and Gongsun Zhi was just swept to the ground by a heat wave.
"Fuck! What is this thing!"
Gongsun Zhi got up from the ground, covered his arm, and pulled out a piece of iron from his arm.
That was the iron sheet that wrapped the cannonballs, and under the splash of the cannonballs, a small piece of them was inserted into Gongsun Zhi's arm.
Fortunately, it's only a small piece, otherwise Gongsun Zhi's entire arm would have been useless today.
is old, if there is heavy bleeding, heart disease and trauma, Gongsun Zhi has to explain here today.
It is worth mentioning that the 20,000 heavy cavalry in the Wei army.
Because it was directly in the center of the military formation, after a few shells fell, it directly caused a commotion among the war horses.
Immediately, there was a tragic situation like the heavy cavalry in the Yun Kingdom.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the war horses went on a rampage, producing a huge destructive force in the military formation, and the chaotic state spread to all sides, and in less than a moment, there were already countless casualties.
Faintly, more soldiers were trampled and killed by war horses than they were killed by direct shells!
And at this time, the Xuanwu Legion had already pressed up.
The distance between the two armies was not large, only three miles, and even if the Xuanwu Legion advanced slowly, it had traveled most of the distance.
The unresponsive coalition forces finally began to retreat on a large scale, but there was no order, and it was more of a rout than a retreat.
Then, the Xuanwu Legion coalition that was slowly advancing saw the most unforgettable scene in this life.
The coalition forces fled in front, and those terrifying shells were chasing behind!
The coalition forces fled for a mile, and the shells chased them for a mile.
Then, it's two miles......
So much so that when the soldiers of the Xuanwu Legion sped up their speed and arrived at the place where the original coalition forces were arrayed, they found that not a single shell had fallen in this place.
Those shells were like they had eyes, and they were chasing the coalition forces from beginning to end!
The retreating coalition forces have long been scattered, and the soldiers have already fled in all directions in order to avoid the impact of artillery shells and scuffling horses.
This made the soldiers of the Xuanwu Legion look at each other.
Can you still fight like this in a war?
On my side, I haven't done anything yet!
It can be said that this is the easiest war in history.
The time is short, it is easy, and the results are still great!
"Report! News came from the Red Artillery Brigade that the enemy had fled the range of the artillery!"
A young general came to report.
Is it out of range?
Zhu Xi nodded, he understood that it was impossible to completely rely on the red-coated artillery to annihilate the enemy, and the biggest role of the red-coated cannon was to paralyze the enemy's attack and disrupt the enemy's formation and deployment, and it was obvious that it had been done now.
Next, it's the real cover-up.
Beat the water dogs!
"Order all armies to advance at full speed, cover the enemy, and the cavalry troops will destroy as many enemies as possible at all costs to win a complete victory in this battle!"
"Yes!"
The herald quickly went to convey the commander's order.
"Woo-"
"Woo-"
"Woo-"
The horn sounded, and the redcoat cannon stopped firing.
Immediately afterwards, the Xuanwu Corps began a full-scale charge, with the light cavalry in front and the infantry behind, covering in the direction of the retreat of the coalition forces.
From Qishui County to the camp of the coalition army, it is a total of 60 miles, and if the coalition army wants to escape back to the camp, it is a long distance.
Along the way, he was chased and killed by the Xuanwu Army all the way.
In fact, there is not much difference in numbers between the two sides.
In other words, the number of people on the coalition side is even larger, and even if it retreats, it looks like nearly 400,000.
The Xuanwu Army, full of battles, is at most 250,000.
It's just that the Xuanwu Army is a neat and organized army, and the soldiers are twisted into a rope, while the non-commissioned soldiers of the coalition army only know how to escape, scattered and scattered, and have long lost their fighting spirit.
