Chapter 417: Casualties That Must Be Brought
After learning that there was a surprise attack by Tatar cavalry behind the position, the division commander Hua Yin tried not to think about this threat in his heart.
He believed in the ability of the Tao Mu Division, and also believed in the reflexes of the two mixed independent divisions.
When he could see the expressions of the civilians who were being driven away without binoculars, he raised his right hand------ which was actually a gesture to the air force in the distance, and his commander was ready accordingly.
The Tatar army had apparently learned the lessons of the previous war, and the general at that time, the commander of the Boyan, believing that the civilians were marching too slowly, did not strictly drive them to charge the opposing army's formation, but simply let the iron cavalry charge------- perhaps this was the reason for his eventual defeat.
This time, the Tatar commander in command of this battle is determined to drive all the civilians he kidnapped to the opposing army!
Moreover, he ordered his cavalry and infantry units to be as dispersed as possible and not to require any strict formations.
The Tatar general, with a monocular bought from the Great Song Market, carefully observed the military formation of the Liuqiu pirates------ they came again, huddled together and let others fight------ if you don't fight them, they will be there to confront you; If you retreat, they move forward shamelessly!
The Tatar commander suddenly saw that there was some commotion in the opponent's military formation, and there were cavalry and infantry running behind, and he was overjoyed, Adjutant Tiermuha's Red Horse Exploration Army must have played a role!
He shouted, "@#¥%......! ”
The infantry units of his army hurried up to the civilians with marching artillery, driving them forward.
For a moment there was another cry among the civilians.
A few shiny steel knives flashed a few times in the black-pressed crowd, and the crying stopped.
This army, which was both soldiers and civilians, began to advance rapidly.
The Tatar generals took their cavalry and kept a distance of about three kilometers from the opponent's position------ which was the realization that this position should be relatively safe.
A loose cavalry team should be able to dodge the opposing rockets!
And the rocket units of the Tatar army quickly set up their own rocket positions in front of the cavalry!!
Since the Great Song Dynasty imitated the creation of a shrunken version of the rocket, the craftsmen in the Tatar armory workshop also quickly learned it------ after all, this technique is not difficult.
But the Tatar craftsmen, like the craftsmen of the Great Song Dynasty, could not make a Tatar cavalry as powerful as the pirates used by the Liuqiu pirates------ who had experienced rocket strikes shook their heads every time they watched the live-fire exercise, believing that the explosive power and incendiary power were far inferior.
However, no matter how much the Tatar nobles who oversaw the manufacture of the artisans coerced or lured the craftsmen, the craftsmen could not make rockets with great potent power------ but it was better to have than nothing.
Every move of the Tatar army could not escape the surveillance of the powered reconnaissance hot air balloons in the sky, and the news kept coming back to the barracks of the Imperial army.
Unfortunately, as the sun rises higher and higher, the powered reconnaissance hot air balloon encounters an opponent that gives them a headache, and at this time a breeze blows in the sky around the third level, and the wind direction is southeast.
The powered reconnaissance balloon had to fight the wind with all its might, and it took a lot of effort to finally stop the powered reconnaissance balloon roughly over the rocket positions of the Tatar army.
At this time, the Tatar soldiers who were arranging the formation did not have any sense of danger------ during this period of time they were just flying around, harmless to people and animals, and even the war horses were adapted to their existence.
The Tatar army has no way to take them, so they don't exist!
The commander of the Air Force looked at the Supreme Commander in the barracks with a telescope, and he saw the golden epaulettes on the shoulders of the Supreme Commander shining in the sun------ what an envy.
At this time, he saw Division Commander Hua Yin raise his right hand.
"Prepare to drop the bomb!"
The shouts of the air commander were so loud that even the Tatar soldiers on the ground were startled.
They may have just heard the voice, but they didn't hear the shouting clearly, and some of them looked up and smiled, thinking, we can't hit you, don't you can't hit us?!
How can a war in the army be frightened by shouting?
But the next scene made that person's smile freeze on his face.
I saw that they suddenly dropped something from the air, and those things fell quickly, exploding directly on the rocket position------ the explosion was so loud that it made the man's ears deaf!
Oh my God, they can still be like this!!
The fireball formed by the explosion was dazzling, and the wave of air that stirred up seemed to wipe everything out!
The shrapnel that flew everywhere had already flown far away, and it could still shred the human body that stood in its way.
The main general of the Tatars almost jumped in fright with his men and horses------My immortal God, they are lucky not to blow up their cavalry team!"
Another round of bombs was dropped------ the rockets piled up on the positions were immediately destroyed-------
Another round of bombs was dropped, and the cavalry was already unsteady, and they all retreated.
The mixed formation of troops and civilians who were moving forward collectively looked back, and everyone trembled with fright, and even saw the stump of the human body burst into the air!
They made a sound of terror and began to stir, not daring to retreat or advance------ they could have run in both directions, but the Tatar infantry who had engulfed them refused to let them flee in terror!
Master Hua Yin sneered, they really didn't cry when they saw the coffin.
He gave the next command, and the shouting began.
Dozens of big men held large brass horns and began to shout incessantly:
"Everyone runs in both directions, Rao Er can't wait!"
"Everyone runs in both directions, Rao Er can't wait!"
By the time the explosion stopped, the sound seemed to be able to spread across the battlefield.
Division Commander Hua Yin calmly observed the situation------ they were huddled together in a heap before the battle, neither left nor right, and it was impossible not to cause some harm to civilians under this circumstance------
The Air Force hot air balloons in the sky have lost weight due to the drop of all the bombs, and now they have quickly risen to the appearance of five hundred meters.
You shouldn't be injured by mistake.
"Mortars fire one round at one kilometer target!!"
"Five minutes after the rocket, five kilometers are diffused for five rounds!"
After giving the order, Commander Hua Yin pushed the brim of his hat with his fingers, now try to hit the back of the opponent as much as possible, if only a few injuries can scare them away, this is considered a success.
"Tom!" "Tom!" "Tom!"
Amid the firing of shells, a white fog rose from the mortar positions, and a kilometer away soon a continuous explosion sounded.
This sound is not as loud as the explosion of a hot air balloon, but it completely breaks up the mixed military and civilian team!
The commander of the Tatar army had just calmed down his horses, but was startled by a series of explosions!
His horse began to jump restlessly again, but fortunately it was not as fierce as it had just been.
This series of explosions didn't hurt him------ he clearly saw that the explosions blew up some infantry------ there was no Kong Ming lantern in the sky, where did this bomb come from?!
A two-wheeled march cannon was torn apart by the explosion------ the wheels rolled out of the distance, and before they could stop, the mixed military and civilian formations completely dispersed------
