Chapter 341: The Hunan Army Suffered a Defeat
As soon as the Qing army attacked, it immediately moved closer to the city wall, and did not dare to hold it up easily, not to mention that he only had some broken flying thunder cannons, that is, machine guns, modern rifles, and he could not be arrogant, the 10,000 people of the Hunan army were definitely not fun,
Relying on the city wall of Nanjing, relying on the troops on the city, Luo Yang and others lined up in a half-ring formation, anyway, the Qing army was not charging, and there were not many foreign artillery bombardments, there really was, the firepower of the Huaxia army on the city wall was enough,
This retreat, the distance was very short, and it was before the Qing army's official large-scale charge, because of the Qing army's indecision, Luo Yang commanded the troops to move, and sure enough, the Qing army was fooled and began to pursue arrogantly,
Under the city, the Huaxia army waited for the Qing army's charging troops, rushing from more than 300 meters to 30 meters, and then fired a volley of guns.
It is indeed a flurry of guns, the so-called row of foreign guns, because the soldiers shoot at different speeds, causing a chaotic noise effect.
bang
That gunsmoke, how to permeate,
This is black powder, relatively primitive gunpowder, so the smoke of gunpowder is extremely thick, a row of guns down, the front of the entire position, has been filled with green smoke, a large cloud, has choked many people began to cough,
Because of this, the soldiers in the second and third rows were somewhat affected when they shot, and there was some suspicion of shooting indiscriminately.
At a distance of thirty meters, the front row of troops of the Hunan army fell like mowing grass.
The Hunan army is really fierce, so many people died, and the rest of the follow-up troops, without even blinking their eyes, continued to charge,
Continuous critical hits, four rows of foreign spearmen, formed a dense firepower, intercepting the Hunan soldiers,
Such a dense, platoon gun fire is really weak, and it is not the same as the intensive fire after the appearance of machine guns,
In the face of a large number of casualties, the Hunan army also quickly approached the Huaxia army.
Twenty meters, or even ten meters,
The Hunan army, which was holding high the saber, let out a shocking roar, because of a large number of casualties, every Hunan officer and soldier showed great courage, which was condensed by hatred.
Seeing that the troops were rapidly approaching the enemy, and seeing that they were about to be inserted into the ranks of the Huaxia army, Wang Kaihua, the general of the Hunan army, finally let out a long breath of evil: "Kill, kill, kill all these hateful guys, and leave no one behind." ”
Xi Baotian was also excited: "Okay, good." "He urged the horses to go forward,
In general, as long as the Hunan army rushes hard, few Taiping troops can resist, usually, the Taiping army in the later period, the ability to fight in the field has been weakened, and they are often frightened by the barbaric spirit of the Hunan army, and they are defeated without a fight.
He could imagine that the steel knives of the Hunan army swept by, trampling the more than 1,000 Chinese troops into pieces.
What's more, behind the thousand-strong troops of the Huaxia Army, the gate of Nanjing City was opened,
The Huaxia army immediately began to hit hard,
First of all, the ordinary infantry, behind the foreign spearmen, ignited the grenade and quickly threw it at the head of the oncoming Hunan army, and some infantry threw the canned explosives at the enemy, and at the same time, dozens of flying thunder cannons opened fire decisively.
The Huaxia army on the city wall also decisively bombarded the enemy with dozens of flying thunder cannons, and with a range of more than 200 meters, it was completely able to hit the dense Hunan army stormtroopers.
Suddenly, it felt as if the end of the world had come, the earth roared, the heavens cracked, lightning and thunder,
Many people were shocked by this tremendous momentum, and some people were directly deaf.
In the city, there are many female soldiers and people who are helping to fight, watching the battle, many people are so frightened that they scream because they are watching this scene for the first time, and they turn around and run.
Hundreds of flying thunder cannons, hundreds of large explosive bags, each weighing twenty kilograms, some slightly weaker, filled with sharp iron and stone porcelain, what concept,
There is no concept, the Hunan army is like this, and the ordinary officers and soldiers of the Huaxia army are also not.
Anyway, in an instant, the world changed.
A fierce general like Xi Baotian was so shocked that he almost fell off his horse, while Wang Kaihua was dumbfounded and dizzy for a long time.
A devastating blow,
One hundred and ten explosives packets instantly enveloped most of the first half of the charging queue, the fire was blazing, explosions followed one after another, and the air waves tore everything around, and many Hunan officers and soldiers died without even having a chance to scream, no, they were torn to pieces,
Bloody battlefield, bloody wind and rain,
After a round of bombardment, the Hunan army's 10,000-strong assault force was reduced by more than one-third.
The closest distance was ten meters, twenty or thirty meters, but after this bombing, the Qing army's charging distance was already far away from 200 meters.
During the battle, those officers and soldiers who charged were mentally prepared for the enemy's bombardment, so everyone was desperate, and some people didn't even look at it, but just shouted wildly to numb their nerves, so the first half of the Hunan army was almost completely wiped out, because of the smoke of gunpowder, the follow-up troops could not see clearly, only knew the loud noise, knew the dust, but there was no military call to collect the troops, who dared to retreat, could not react for a while, and who could stop in time,
Many times, people's inertial movements are difficult to change in time, and the Hunan army continues to rush, anyway, many people know that they must pay a certain price, and they also know that the enemy must have artillery bombardment.
In this way, Xi Baotian and Wang Kaihua were unable to control the situation, so their forces quickly retreated.
The distance of 200 meters made the Huaxia army already prepare for the second round, and when the Qing army rushed to arrive, it would be slaughtered again.
On that day, the breeze and the smoke and dust that rushed to the sky were blown by the northwest wind, and most of them floated near the right flank of the Hunan army, so the Huaxia army could see it clearly, especially the Huaxia army artillery in the city, they saw it more accurately, and they gave priority to artillery shooting.
The second round of catastrophic blows was launched,
Groups of Hunan officers and soldiers rushed into the smoke and dust, and in the flames and explosions in the sky, they were wiped out.
The sound of the mountain and the tsunami quickly decreased, and finally, it was so weak that it was almost none.
Luo Yang is under the cover of his own soldiers, a little farther away, he really can't bear it, the flesh and blood of countless Xiang officers and soldiers, blown to pieces by their own artillery fire, are all Chinese cannibalism, is it meaningful,
The smoke of gunpowder is still lingering, still dancing, and everywhere it goes, more and more shows the tragic situation of the Hunan army after the fierce battle, with large corpses, stumps, and rivers of blood, which is outrageous.
More than 10,000 elite Qing troops were bombarded by artillery, foreign guns and grenades, and in just over 20 minutes, almost all the troops were wiped out.
The hundreds of remnants of the Qing army are all the personal soldiers of Xi Baotian and Wang Kaihua's army, otherwise, they would have started charging a long time ago, and they would definitely not be able to survive until now.
"Oh my God." Xi Baotian, a fierce general, trembled, fell to the ground with a bang, and cried towards the fireworks, "My brothers." ”
The Hunan army is linked by geography and blood, and the war is either father and son or brother, so the casualties of the Xi family army are all his closest relatives and compatriots.
Wang Kaihua's arrogant face had long disappeared without a trace, his pale and miserable eyes, full of despair, threw away the telescope mirror that looked at the battlefield situation, he suddenly screamed, drew his saber, wiped his neck and committed suicide,
The Hunan army was defeated, and the Huaxia army was naturally ecstatic, especially those troops outside the city, seeing that the Qing army was almost blown up, they immediately shouted and charged forward, and those cavalry were the most,
The half-dead enemy army was killed by the Huaxia army that charged along the way, and the remnants of the dazed enemy were surrounded by cavalry.
