Chapter 403: The War Horse Neighs
It should have been an autumn breeze and a burst of coolness, but this day was dry and hot, some days did not call the cicadas also began to play the old tune, there were bursts of horse neighing and cow roars in the field accompanied by bursts of frogs in the field, not to mention how lively it was, whether it was the Wu army or the southeast army, there were many people who rolled up their trouser legs and sleeves, facing the barbed wire, sitting in the trenches and scolding each other, Knowing that the mistake was corrected, it immediately made people boil a lot of mung bean porridge and sent it over, and the siege confrontation was not afraid of all kinds of tricks, so that the morale was more victorious, just like two fighting cocks, the more they fight, the more spirited. On the contrary, they are afraid of fighting, their morale is gradually worn out, their fighting spirit is full of consumption, and finally they are exhausted and have no fighting spirit, but there are all kinds of harm and no benefit.
"My lord, all the necessary explosives and horses and cattle are ready, and they are waiting for your orders." Lin Yan squeezed through the laughing crowd and said softly in Chang Zhenbang's ear.
Chang Zhenbang took out the pocket watch from his arms, glanced at it, and said, "Start acting in five minutes!" As he spoke, he casually threw the pocket watch to Lin Yan.
Lin Yan caught it, carefully held it in his hand, slowly retreated, turned around and arranged for Ma Ben on duty to follow, and only after ensuring the safety of Chang Zhenbang's inspection did he quietly go.
Five minutes later, countless horses and cattle were sent to the front line of the two armies, and the officers and men of the two armies were stunned all of a sudden, and said in their hearts What is going on? Wu Jun was sensible on his side, and immediately thought of Tiandan's fire ox array, first panicked, and then relieved, there were either mines or barbed wire fences around here, and the cattle rushed over to find death, so they couldn't say that there would be beef stew to eat at night.
"Ready, let's go!"
As soon as the order was given, all the horses and cattle were driven over by the Southeast Army, and the orderly ones were sent over, watching the cattle step on the mines and be blown up to pieces, and the cattle were all over the ground.
"Cut, hurry up, give Lao Tzu a little cleverness, be careful not to let those southeast rebels take the opportunity to rush over." Wu Peifu was greatly moved when he received Chang Zhenbang's move to send beef without capital, and immediately called the adjutant to instruct him, people have sent so much beef, but they can't let people give it away anymore.
"Your Excellency, don't worry, the brothers are not idle, they are all staring." The adjutant took a report and said, "Daimyo, Cheng'an, and Cixian have already started fierce battles, and the battles in Shahe and Yongnian are also fierce. On the contrary, we took in Handan's brothers, watching fried beef during the day and waiting to eat beef at night, which is a bit leisurely. ”
Wu Peifu listened to it and laughed: "This is also a helpless thing, but are we idle?" Daimyo, Yongnian's brothers can be withdrawn, but our brothers in Handan have no way to retreat, but they can only fight to the death! ”
The adjutant said: "My subordinates understand! It's just that the southeast sends cattle and sheep like this, will it really break out of a way? ”
Wu Peifu said with a smile: "It's okay for Ma Niu to go out of one, but Ma Niu can't speak, I don't believe that these southeastern people can have so good eyes and can find this road from the bloodstains all over the ground!" Besides, our brothers don't eat white rice! ”
After hearing this, the adjutant left with a smile, Wu Peifu's face suddenly dissipated, and he looked at the sky in the courtyard through the window with doubts on his face, and muttered: "Chang Zhenbang, what kind of medicine is sold in your gourd, is there really not enough beef?" You're not so kind, can your moth only be seen by Lao Tzu after the poor dagger is seen, no, it will never let you succeed. ”
When he thought of this, there was a sudden violent explosion, and the whole yard couldn't help jumping a few times like a child who hated the sky, and the dust fell all over the house, and the adjutant hurried to hear the news: "How is the handsome man?" ”
Wu Peifu coughed a few times, reached out and patted the dust in front of him, and said, "What's going on?" ”
The adjutant said: "The southeast army has begun to shell Handan City, but I didn't expect his artillery fire to be so fierce that it implicated the marshal, but please rest assured, although the artillery fire in the southeast is fierce, it will also be affected a little, but it will never affect the safety here, please rest assured!" ”
Wu Peifu picked up the pistol from the table and put it on his waist, turned his head, and said with a blushing face: "Lao Tzu is the safest when he is with his brothers." Saying that, pushing the door away, the adjutant hurriedly called the Guards Brigade to follow from behind, and hugged Wu Peifu to the battlefield, the direct army because of his arrival, and the morale was high, the artillery of the southeast army on the opposite side seemed to be very dissatisfied with the Wu army, which had high morale like chicken blood, and angrily let out a more violent artillery sound, one by one the shells were in the horses and cattle, and the battlefield sparks were released behind the barbed wire.
"The southeast artillery is powerful, can we be directly cowardly?" Wu Peifu roared angrily: "Beat Lao Tzu, beat hard, let these southeasterners also know that our direct line is powerful!" ”
No one knows when the battle of Handan will last, so when the battlefield commander is not in hand-to-hand combat, the ammunition is always a little unable to let go, looking at the opposite southeast fighting in full swing, not to mention how energetic, and he is also holding back his stomach in his stomach, and now since Wu Dashuai has taught them a lesson, he will naturally not be polite, roll up his sleeves, and fight hard, just like venting the essence in the body, it is really happy.
Seeing that the other party was fighting so vigorously, the Southeast Army naturally had to fight back fiercely.
Chang Zhenbang said: "The fight is so fierce and doesn't cost money, it must be Wu Peifu who came up!" Lin Yan is ready for the next stage! ”
Lin Yan said: "Your Excellency, you have to think about it, if you do this, we will not have the advantage of cavalry." ”
Chang Zhenbang said: "Handan is down, He Zonglian will live on his side, and if they live all the way, the Northern Expedition will be completed." Besides, there are a lot of horses in Handan City, and those are our cavalry. Let's go down! ”
"Yes, sir!"
Lin Yan turned around and waved his hand, thousands of war horses were blasted out, it was really thousands of horses running together, earth-shattering, the direct army on the opposite side was scared stupid, Wu Peifu slapped his head, and immediately reacted, so many horses rushed over, how many mines could be flattened, and then look at these oncoming horses, Wu Peifu was really taken aback, these are all good war horses, other horses must have been scared stupid by this rain of bullets, only war horses have this calm energy, it seems that Chang Zhenbang does not want cavalry, it is really a big deal, Use sparse cattle and horses as bait, let the guards relax their vigilance, and then charge with war horses, this big scene of thousands of horses galloping together really made those soldiers dumbfounded, and they were at a loss for a while, but Wu Peifu is Wu Peifu, and after a little pondering, he had a trick, and immediately shouted loudly: "All the machine gun companies in each department will be on with Lao Tzu, and in any case, these crazy horses will be stopped by Lao Tzu!" ”
Immediately the machine gun company carried the crooked machine gun to the front, lined up, suddenly fought, it was really a big kill, only to see batches of good horses fell to the ground one after another, causing the sound of detonation of the thunder, and then the blood spilled on the field, so that the onlookers were all moved, if there is a kind of animal in the world worthy of the pride of the head, it can only be a horse, especially the war horse military horse three meals a day all the use of a lieutenant officer, but also have a special person to serve, not to mention how good the treatment is, But today, seeing so many war horses dying like this, everyone present, whether in the southeast or in the direct line, rushed to the pain and distress, and many cavalrymen who were not in service turned their heads one after another, and even Wu Peifu's face also showed a trace of unbearability. But he has no choice, in the history of human warfare, the only cavalry that can deal with cavalry is machine guns, and even the world's famous Cossack cavalry unit only suffered a loss of machine guns in the hands of Akiyama Yoshiko, who is afraid of the rest?
However, the slaughter of war horses was by no means done by soldiers, and Wu Peifu couldn't help but fold his hands and mourn in silence for those dead war horses.
Rumble~!
A violent explosion kicked off countless fragments of masonry, stained the sky red, and then fell like meteors, and those war horses, which were still somewhat calm, began to go crazy, galloping wildly, earth-shattering. Of course, the machine gun companies of the officers and men of the direct line were not idle, but the big explosion in the herd of horses stimulated the madness of these war horses, and in the frenzied charge, they roared and tore through the steel wire fence, leveled the mines, and laid a smooth way for the southeast army that was ready to attack behind them, causing great panic among the direct troops.
"What's going on!" Wu Peifu opened his eyes and said in surprise.
The adjutant said very sadly: "The frenzied Chang Zhenbang has bound a lot of shine and grenades in the war horse, and the defense line has been torn, please retreat to safety!" Take your command with ease. Lead the brothers to win this battle! Saying that, he threw a color on the left and right, and the two horse guards came to Wu Peifu's side left and right, and Wu Peifu said with a calm face: "Brother, you stick to it...... Stick to the position, my brother will go to deploy troops and generals, and never let Handan really fall into the hands of the southeast! ”
"Don't take the handsome away yet!" The adjutant shouted loudly, shook the pistol in his hand, and shouted: "Brothers, rush! Defeated the southeastern rebels, everyone eats meat at night! After speaking, he rushed out, and the surrounding soldiers saw that the adjutant around the marshal was not afraid of death, and their morale was shocked, and they also rushed over, but they didn't expect that the adjutant was an adjutant, and the marshal was a marshal, and the adjutant charged, but the marshal took the opportunity to slip away.
The southeast army stepped on the red road of the blood of the war horse rushed up, many of them were cavalry, watching the beloved war horse was slaughtered by these people crazy, his heart was going to break, accompanied by the cheering cannon, they fearlessly rushed over, the flame of the machine gun is the sickle of death, once it starts, either the front is dead or the back is dead, but the southeast soldiers are not afraid of death, they bravely move forward and the direct army fight, scuffle, a fierce battle for the position began vigorously.
