Chapter 531: Brutal Battlefield
Ye Shaolong rode a horse and held a gun to personally supervise the battle, and the flying bullets and sporadic knives and guns hit the heavy armor on his body from time to time, and bursts of noise continued to sound.
The shock made Ye Shaolong's whole person sway around constantly, but fortunately, the defense of the heavy armor was indeed extremely powerful, and neither knives nor guns nor bullets could hurt him.
But this is always at the forefront of the battle line, which always makes people feel uneasy. Su Can was always paying attention to Ye Shaolong's safety, so that he couldn't concentrate on commanding the musket battalion.
Ye Shaolong was gradually beaten out of anger, at this moment he was still in the circle of heavy armor, and he had not really fought with the enemy army.
Suddenly, Ye Shaolong, who was beaten out of anger, urged the horse to move forward a few steps, directly to the front line, and then the spear stabbed out, directly penetrating the chests of the two enemy soldiers.
The spear turned slightly, and suddenly it was pulled out, and two pillars of blood spurted out, and the two enemy soldiers fell into a pool of blood at the same time. Ye Shaolong tasted the sweetness at this time, and swung his gun and stabbed at another enemy soldier.
But this time it didn't go so well, more than a dozen enemy soldiers obviously targeted Ye Shaolong, after all, he was too sassy this time. Even if the two sides are in a scuffle, it is easy to see the difference between him at a glance.
Obviously, the enemy army had already seen that Ye Shaolong was the general of the heavy armor soldiers, and for a while, more than a dozen enemy troops rushed up to his side.
Ye Shaolong didn't know that the enemy army had begun to target him, and he was still assassinating the enemy army selflessly. When his spear pierced into the chest of an enemy soldier, he was held by several pairs of hands before he could draw it.
A strong force came from the spear, and Ye Shaolong was almost pulled off the horse, but fortunately, he let go of the spear first.
Just stabilized his body on horseback, Ye Shaolong hadn't seen what was happening clearly, and two figures flashed in the corner of his eye, and dazzling sword light rushed towards him at the same time.
The spear was robbed, and at this time, Ye Shaolong wanted to draw his knife to resist, but it was obviously too late, and the enemy's two heavy knives came straight to his chest and thighs.
"Bang!"
Before Ye Shaolong could react, the two enemy soldiers who rushed up, one of them had just jumped up and was directly hit by a bullet in the chest.
The remaining other enemy army had already rushed to Ye Shaolong's horse at this time, and before Ye Shaolong could make any moves, the war horse suddenly raised its front hooves high, and directly kicked the enemy soldiers who rushed in front of him away.
Ye Shaolong breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't expect this war horse to be so psychic, and he also knew how to resist the enemy.
"Dashuai!"
Su Can suddenly rushed up.
When Ye Shaolong heard the reputation, he saw that the muzzle of the musket in Su Can's hand was still smoking, obviously the shot just now should have been shot by him.
"What?"
"Please step down, don't take any more risks yourself, the Yejiabao army needs your command." Su Can's expression was firm.
Ye Shaolong hesitated, but he didn't embarrass Su Can, nodded and agreed.
Su Can's face was overjoyed, and he immediately pulled the reins of the war horse, personally took Ye Shaolong to the back, and then returned to the musket camp again.
The small episode on the side of the Yejiabao army did not attract the attention of the enemy troops, they still kept rushing up, and after suffering the baptism of artillery fire, the rest of the people were stabbed to death as soon as they rushed in front of the heavy armor.
Another fish that slipped through the net was also shot dead by the musket battalion behind the heavy armor. The defense line of the Yejiabao army is still very solid, and there are heavy armor soldiers in front of it as shields, and there are almost zero casualties.
The four commanders in the enemy army soon realized that it was not good, and if they continued to fight blindly like this, no matter how many soldiers and horses they had, they would not be enough to kill.
Especially those two hundred small bronze cannons, which were definitely a stumbling block to their advance. If they don't find a way to destroy these bronze cannons, their casualties will continue to grow.
Zhang Zuosheng spoke coldly: "Who has the means to destroy those artillery pieces of the Yejiabao army?" ”
The other three immediately fell silent, and the artillery of the Yejiabao army was all placed in the rear. There were 10,000 invulnerable heavy armor soldiers at the front. At present, there is nothing to be done about these heavy armor soldiers, let alone the artillery in the back.
After a moment of silence, it was Feng Guozhang who took the lead in speaking: "If we want to destroy the artillery of the Yejiabao army, we must first kill the heavy armor soldiers in front, otherwise we will be helpless at all." ”
Yan Xisan looked sorry for his face and sighed: "We didn't bring artillery, and the cavalry was all killed and wounded, so there is really no way to break through the opponent's heavy armor formation." ”
Zhang Zuosheng was silent after hearing this, what the two of them said just now was the truth, but if they couldn't think of a way, this battle would definitely not be able to continue.
"Are we just going to give up halfway?" Zhang Zuosheng's tone was full of unwillingness.
"There's really no way to crack it at the moment, and we can only temporarily withdraw from the army." Yan Xi looked at the battlefield with three eyes, and his heart was also very uncomfortable.
After several waves of impact, their army definitely suffered heavy losses, although it is still immeasurable, but it is conservatively estimated that there are still 30,000 dead and wounded.
Feng Guozhang hesitated for a moment, and finally agreed with Yan Xisan's statement: "Otherwise, let's withdraw our troops as soon as possible!" Staying in Qingshan is not afraid of no firewood, as long as we don't hurt the fundamentals, there will always be a way to break through the defense line of the Yejiabao army. ”
The four of them soon reached a unified idea, and Zhang Zuosheng initiated the retreat order.
"Woo......"
On the enemy's position, a long, dull trumpet sounded immediately, and the signal to withdraw was finally given.
The enemy officers and men, who were still rushing forward at the risk of death, were slightly stunned for a moment when they heard the signal to withdraw their troops, and then all of them showed ecstatic expressions on their faces.
For a while, the enemy troops began to swarm back!
Su Can had a hideous expression on his face, the enemy army actually retreated, this was the best opportunity to kill the enemy.
"The heavy battalion retreats, and the brethren of the musket battalion will be killed with me!" Su Can immediately roared, and strode forward with 30,000 musket battalion soldiers.
The intensive artillery fire immediately stopped, and the ammunition was almost exhausted by the bombardment just now, but fortunately, the enemy troops had retreated, and the 1,000 artillery battalion officers and men, who had been completely deaf, showed smiling faces one by one.
The enemy retreated, this is definitely a good time to kill the enemy, but it is a pity that the Yejiabao army also has no cavalry, and it is still limited to rely on the musket battalion to kill the enemy.
Ye Shaolong did not dare to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but ordered the rest of the people to strictly hold their positions, and only the musket battalion was pursued. This will cause less damage to enemy troops.
A head-to-head confrontation lasted for a whole day, and at this time it was almost dusk, and under the light of the remnant sun, the main battlefield of the two sides was full of blood, and countless corpses were lying on every inch of the wasteland.
In vain, the enemy retreated to their camp with corpses on the ground.
The Yejiabao army once again withstood the enemy's attack, and finally won the victory, but this victory was not easy to come by.
