Chapter 490: Death Charge
Shunming Chapter 490 Death Charge
The ditch is wide and deep though. The army began to fill in the trenches several times. They were all shunned by the army. But when the army filled the trenches they dug by themselves. The degree is indeed very fast.
The Ming army on the opposite side swaggered into formation. Even the flags used to instruct the troops could not be straightened. It's not without energy. It's that I don't have the strength to pneumatic at all.
This is the situation in front of you. It is indeed not the best effect that King Li Zicheng wants to achieve in the siege. At least the Ming army can still stand up. It is estimated that it is a critical time. You can also go into battle with a weapon. Can such morale and state. I was already watching the Shun army constantly filling in the trenches there.
The soil in the sack was constantly being poured into the trench. Nearly 10,000 foot soldiers fell to the ground in the front of the Shun army. The formation was quite loosely arranged. After the person is done, he can turn around and go back to the rear team to load the soil.
More than 10,000 people started over and over again. It was as if a giant machine was in motion—a soldier running back to the back of the pack. And then with the dirt on his back - run back. They all occupy similar positions. Such organization and discipline. It's impressive. After the Shun army came out of the king in the mountainous area of the belly of the fish. Over the years, an army has indeed been trained.
But on such a scale. In the eyes of the Ming army on the opposite side. But there is no impressment. They were all shocked. More chilled and demoralized.
Bai Guangen was originally separated from He Renlong. Each returned to his own army. Prepare when the Shun army crosses the trench. Drive your own foot attack. It can be constantly moved with the front. The two commanders couldn't stand still. Each of them came forward with someone to watch. When they stepped forward. The trench is already half filled.
Nearly 500 steps of trenches. It's going to be filled in again and again. Five hundred steps to the front. This means that the Shun army will be engaged in a battle with the main force.
When Zhu Xianzhen was in the town, the Shun army first waited for the Ming army to collapse. Then use a small force to completely disrupt the Ming army. Then the whole army will attack and completely annihilate.
Then. In fact, the Ming army dominated by Zuo Liangyu moved first. Swarming towards the trenches. Wait until the corpses almost fill the trench. The Shun army is pouring out of the nest. This kind of play does not cost much effort. Without paying too many casualties, he completely annihilated nearly 200,000 Ming troops.
Scrambled to cross the trench. Trampling back and forth. It's miserable. But this is an empty place, Bai Guang Enhe, Renlong, including Xu Dingguo, is an old general. Naturally, I understand the key to this. Zuo Liangyu was all starved and fainted at that time. When the horse is killed, there is not even a mount. was calmly intercepted by the Shun army. And then annihilation. It also makes sense. Zuo Liangyu was really lucky to be able to run out.
But now it's different. Bai Guang Enhe, Renlong, Xu Dingguo, and the family guards of the three general soldiers added up to about 5,000, and they would rather starve to death the ordinary soldiers below than let them be fed. These people are still an elite new force. Take advantage of that. not to stand out.
But he didn't expect Shunjun's determination to be so great this time. Most of the Ming army was hungry and weak. But it's not yet at the point where there is no physical strength at all. At that time, it was on the verge of desperation, and fighting hard with weapons would cause casualties to the Shun army, so Zhu Xianzhen looked at that time. Shunjun should not take the initiative to provoke such a cost.
At this time, the Ming army should be stronger than Zhu Xianzhen, but the Shun army at this time was smaller than the Li Luo coalition army at that time. And there are main forces guarding various points. I don't think it's going to be such a big fight.
Things on the battlefield change quickly. The generals of the Ming army thought well. But the situation went in a direction they simply did not want.
Bai Guangen and He Renlong. I don't bother to say hello anymore. But they all returned to their own army without agreement. Go and mobilize the troops. That's a good trouble.
The width of the groove. Whether it's a bow or an arrow, you can hit it. Not to mention artillery. But the personal guards of the general soldiers of each family can shoot bows and arrows. The handling of firearms is relatively unfamiliar. For them. Or hand-to-hand combat is the first to dare to fight.
Now. Even if he wants to cause some trouble to the Shun army on the other side. But the soldier at the front is the ability to draw the bow and shoot one or two arrows. This archer can't tolerate sloppiness.
But even those who can shoot arrows with a bow. They were all far from the trenches. Because the Shun army had already set up artillery on the opposite side early. Even if you have to push the artillery up, you can't do it.
"The officers and men of the battalion obeyed the order. And force forward. Be faithful to the Holy One. Martyrdom for the imperial court. Right now. If there is a retreat, hesitate. Military disposition. Don't let it go!! ”
After Bai Guangen and He Renlong returned to the back team. Immediately, someone loudly passed the order to the front. Layers. Behind them were Xu Dingguo, the chief soldier of Shanxi, and Hou Sui, the superintendent. He didn't care about his foot soldiers. It is directly to order their original garrison. And he led the horse team to follow behind the two general soldiers.
In the back team. The pro-soldiers and horses became the big horizontal team. It's not about storming the enemy. It's about driving your own pawns forward.
When the Tartars were attacking the city. Like in
The people of the Ming Dynasty were cannon fodder for the signing army. Waiting for an opportunity in the back. Now the family's pawns are used as cannon fodder. Let him rush forward.
This command is laid out to wait. The sergeants on the opposite side were still filling in the trenches. Yuan Zong, who was watching the battle in front, saw the Ming army's array in the order. The whole team began to stir. The soldiers of the Ming army were reluctant. But he leaned towards this side helplessly.
I saw the movement of the Ming army. The army general Yuan Zongdi immediately gave the order. The soldiers who were filling in the soil stopped filling it. Put the dirt bag down at the edge of the trench. Wait until all the Shun soldiers put down the dirt bags. On the side of the trench against the Shun army, an earthen wall was already half a man high.
The Shun army dug this ditch. And put this one back in landfill. Now it is a low wall again. The cost of civil engineering is enormous. But for the Shun army. The only thing that is not lacking is this manpower.
All the soldiers threw their bags of dirt behind them. The musketeers and archers of the Shun army began to come to the front row. The artillery side also began to reload.
The front end of the Ming army column leaned over unwillingly. Frankly. The current Ming army is physically exhausted. But it's not time to collapse yet. The orders given above will be carried out in the future.
Moreover, the weapons in the hands of the guards cavalry in the back were fighting indiscriminately. The rear soldiers slowly moved forward. But if the soldiers in front of them are slow. They will be beaten. They also had to beat the soldiers in the front line if they were to advance. And so on. The whole team slowly pressed over.
Soon the Ming troops in the front line came into the range of the artillery. But the artillery of the Shun army did not fire. Anyway, there was a trench that wasn't filled. If you get closer, you can play more certainly.
"Shoot the arrow!!"
The leaders of the Shun army shouted loudly. The archers of the army drew their bows and shot arrows. When casting. Arrows are not flat shots. Rather, it is slightly upward.
Clusters of arrows crossed the parabola and landed in the array of the Ming army. Such a shot does not require any precise aiming. It is only necessary to aim in one general direction. Shoot the bow and arrow in your hand. Anyway, the Ming army on the opposite side was clustered together. Arrows shoot past. It's going to be a shot or a hit.
More than 2,000 archers of the Shun army shot together. This momentum is also quite amazing. The bowstring is flicked. A trembling buzz rang out. The sound was accompanied by the screams and fallings of the Ming army on the opposite side.
I saw the bow and arrow shooting here. The momentum of the Ming army's advance was only slightly slower. Commands were then passed from back to front. No hesitation. Rush forward!
Rather than starving to death here. Or it was eaten by a companion. It would be better to be killed by a bow and arrow in this charge. Or even trampled to death. It is also much stronger to starve to death and eat people or become food.
The order of the chief general was given--the individual hesitated. Then he rushed towards the side of the trench. The way of the world. There are many, many more tragic and cruel things than death. It's better to die like this.
Trained archers.; Not many of them can shoot seven or eight arrows in a row. Look at the Ming army on the opposite side. They were sheltered by ditches and low walls. I continued to shoot out regardless of it.
Such clusters of arrows are scattered. Except for a few unlucky ghosts. There are few kills in one hit. But most of them think that this time is already weak and abnormal. Hit by a bow and arrow. The body simply can't withstand this injury. Incapacitated and fell on it. Immediately after that, he was trampled by his companions and could no longer get up.
Most of the people in front of them are the main militia there. Miscellaneous cards such as folk strong men. It is a state of mental collapse. It's like the scene of Shura's prison. That's complete madness. But the soldiers in the rear could not tolerate them standing in the way in the front.
The action is slow. The sword weapon immediately greeted without hesitation. Ahead is death. Death was followed by a closer death - and everyone could only rush forward without hesitation.
Although the rain of arrows from the archers of the Shun army caused great casualties to the Ming army. but did not stop the other party's progress. The artillery of the Shun army was finally prepared. Nearly seventy pieces of artillery of different sizes roared one after another. The bird guns behind the archers also followed.
within this distance. Even the worst firearms can wield lethality. Not to mention artillery. This burst of firearms has been fired. The Ming army column that was facing him was directly beaten.
But they ran to the edge of the ditch. The comrades in front died. The people behind directly pushed the bodies of their comrades into the trenches. The trench is now as deep as half a man. A few corpses didn't do much. Seeing this deep ditch, even if it is too late.
The people behind them pushed them down like a push, a body. Then the latter ones are pushed down even further.
The vanguard of the Shun and Ming armies. Now it's less than forty paces away...... -
November will be better. Thank you all (
