No. 106 Decisive Battle (3) (1st Update)

PS: There is no accident at night and there is a change. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The two streams of iron rushed towards each other, colliding together in an instant, and in just an instant, dozens of knights of the left army were already screaming and flying out of their horses. The knights of the Imperial Camp had the advantage of a dense and neat formation, twisting the force of the impact into a force that was multiplied and magnified, and any isolated left knight was not a one-sided enemy.

In the process of staggering the team, in addition to the dozen or so people who were knocked away in an instant, there were dozens of left knights who were picked off their horses by spears, in comparison, the casualties of the knights of the imperial camp were relatively small, only four or five horses were knocked away, and six or seven horses were killed or wounded. Then they tossed each other's heads and after a big circle, they relined the line.

After the first round of fighting, the left knight suffered dozens of casualties, which was a serious damage to the morale of the cavalry. Many left knights secretly sweated for themselves in their hearts, and after the team was reorganized, they no longer had the confidence to win at the beginning.

When it came to the second round of fighting, at the moment when the two sides galloped and were about to collide again, the remaining knights on the left suddenly changed the direction of the attack, deviating from the original head-on hedging route, but the dozens of horsemen on the flanks passed by the knights of the imperial camp.

In this round, Zhu Youhua and the others really saw clearly, it was the left soldier who was the first to change direction and avoid the collision with their own imperial cavalry, and they had clearly lost in terms of momentum.

Taking advantage of the momentum of his own cavalry, Zhu Youhua raised his saber and waved it forward: "The three armies obey the order and continue to advance three hundred steps to the north!" "Taking the opportunity to further shorten the distance between the two sides.

Under the command of the herald, 15,000 horsemen pressed forward in unison, swords and guns shining, armor leaves sonorous, and slowly marched forward with the dull and rhythmic footsteps.

Zuo Mengeng's face was very ugly, although the two sides had only fought for two rounds, it was obvious that the victory and defeat had been divided, and the Liaodong pro-rider he was confident in was defeated! Whether it is combat power or momentum, it has fallen behind the enemy, which really embarrass him. Since his father raised troops on the side of Qingjun, he has lost many battles, which has almost become a lingering nightmare in his heart! The defeat in the Horse Battle duel was more of a bad omen.

"Is it really heaven that wants to kill my Zuo clan?"

Zuo Mengeng's heart throbbed, and he was suddenly frightened, and it wasn't until the Ming army on the opposite side moved again that he reacted, and quickly restrained the thoughts that suddenly rose from his mind, and didn't dare to think about it again.

The cavalry battle has been divided, and if you continue to kill, it will only make your own side more embarrassed and seriously affect the morale of the army, Zuo Mengeng reluctantly ordered the recall of the remaining rangers, and after reprimanding them sharply, he quickly arranged an array to guard against the approaching court counterinsurgency army.

Every step of the soldiers and horses of the imperial court roared the word "kill", and waves of air rushed towards him like a mountain and a sea, Zuo Mengeng clearly felt the aggressive momentum of the imperial army, and he was a little out of breath for a while!

Finally, he lost his breath, and after roughly estimating the distance between the two sides, he loudly ordered the gunner to open fire.

I want to use the huge damage of artillery to redeem the momentum that I have just lost.

After the flying cavalry passed the order, thirty or forty small and medium-sized Hongyi guns of the left central army, and the Franco machine artillery suddenly made a roaring sound, and dozens of shells flew out of the array and flew towards the counterinsurgency army of the imperial court on the opposite side.

Seeing the roaring and terrifying shells, there was a commotion in the infantry array of the imperial camp, and the new troops instinctively wanted to avoid the bombardment of the shells, but the military discipline was strict, and the overseers were firmly monitoring on one side, so that they did not dare to act rashly, so they could only face the bombardment head-on.

After more than half a year of strong training, the strictness of military discipline has been rooted in their hearts, even if there are individual people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, regardless of the overall situation, they will be deterred by the marching method of the overseer team supervised by one side, and they will be killed with a knife.

Due to the poor quality of the artillery on the left and the limited level of the gunners, the artillery was not accurate, and when the discharged shells flew to the array of the imperial army outside Xu Li, they had lost their effective lethality, and only a few Hongyi shells still maintained great lethality and flew into the front army array of the army.

Fortunately, Zhu Youhua had prepared in advance, in order to reduce the damage of the enemy's artillery bombardment, the formation of the army was not very dense, and after a round of artillery bombardment, the rebels only killed and injured dozens of unlucky people. The price paid was the direct exposure of the location of the artillery positions.

After the end of a round of artillery bombardment by the left army and knowing the approximate location of the enemy's artillery, Zhu Youhua decisively ordered his artillery team to return fire, in addition to killing and injuring the enemy's foot soldiers, the target was directly aimed at the artillery positions in the rebel Chinese army's array.

The gunners of the imperial camp have long been eager to try, the so-called raising soldiers for a thousand days, used for a while, they followed those Portuguese foreign teachers to practice hard for half a year, and the relatively high-end technology of regulation and ranging compared to this era has almost been roughly mastered, and after scrapping more than 20 large and small artillery, they have been able to be handy.

After the military order was issued, more than 100 Hongyi and Frankie artillery guns immediately opened fire, and among the more than 100 guns, there were as many as 26 Hongyi cannons of six to eight pounds alone, and most of the rebels' infantry arrays were within the effective range of these behemoths, including the artillery positions that were heavily surrounded by the enemy's middle battalion soldiers.

With a rumbling explosion, 100 shells were divided into several waves and flew out one after another, and more than 60 four-pound shells fell into the front line of the left army, followed by a continuous miserable scream and groan, and more than 200 foot soldiers of the left army could not dodge and were directly killed by the shells. The infantry array suddenly became a little scattered, and the military academies at all levels desperately commanded and shouted before they could stabilize the formation.

In addition to the more than 60 artillery pieces that opened fire on the infantry positions of the left army, there were also more than 20 six-pounder and eight-pounder cannons with more definite targets, and these relatively long-range field artillery pieces were specially used to deal with the enemy's small and medium-sized artillery by virtue of the advantage of range.

Zhu Youhua had been trying to close the distance between them, just to cover all the enemy formations under the effective range of the six- and eight-pounder guns. Although the goal was not fully achieved because of Zuo Menggeng's sudden shelling, it was not much worse, at least the artillery positions of the enemy's Chinese army had been exposed to the effective range of the six- or eight-pounder Hongyi artillery.

These large-caliber shells directly crossed the heads of the front army of the left army and smashed towards the artillery positions behind them, and the artillery positions surrounded by heavy troops were bombarded by nearly 20 six-pound and eight-pound shells at once. No matter how many layers of iron armor you wear, the shield protection of any material is useless, and it will be smashed directly into flesh!
