Chapter 132: Flying Thunder Counterattack

The formation of the Huaxia army, because the central position was oppressed by the Hui army and deliberately contracted, caused the middle part to collapse, forming a semi-circular recess, and the two wings of the firm stood out, forming an invisible encirclement.

In order to verify the accuracy of his strategy and tactics, Luo Bingzhang personally went out and led a group at the age of more than 70 years to stick to the left flank position, where more than 4,000 Huaxia troops combined with cavalry, infantry, vehicles, guns and spears, firmly defended the position, forming a solid wall, isolating the cavalry of the Hui army, and there could be no progress.

The situation on the right flank is also the same, Liu Jiahui's brigade of more than 3,000 people has become the nemesis of the cavalry on the left flank of the Hui army.

The cavalry of the Hui army charged bravely, trying to break the formation in one fell swoop, and defeated the Huaxia army, in this situation of large-scale battle, the collapse of any party's large array, which means the beginning of a large number of casualties, the fleeing side, will inevitably be shaken and flee when it is killed, now, the horse team of the Hui army is extremely elite, once there is really a scene of the collapse of the Huaxia army, the more than 2,000 Hui cavalry, may catch up with dozens of miles, and cut the 30,000 Huaxia army to nothing,

With the grand goal in mind, the cavalry of the Hui army took the lead, and rushed towards the flank position of the Huaxia army, the saber flashed with the brilliance of the scorching sun, the snow was white, the war horse was successful, and the sound of hooves smashed the dead and silent Shaanxi ground along the way.

The cavalry formed a human wall, spears like a forest, and a hedgehog-like chariot formation, so that the cavalry of the Hui army lost the necessary impact and became a death-to-death situation of face-to-face combat.

The Huaxia army was very cunning not to fight hard with the Hui army, but to hunt the Hui cavalry with the range of foreign guns, although the reloading speed was outrageous, but the skilled foreign spearmen still beat the Hui army within thirty or fifty meters to the back of the horse.

The Hui army approached without hesitation, and the cavalry of the Huaxia army slashed, at this time, the infantry of the Huaxia army threw a grenade despicably, on the top of the head of the Hui army, exploding in the back, this small ignition bomb, can only be thrown more than 20 meters away, but, for the Hui cavalry close at hand, it is the right shot,

Many of the Hui cavalry had never fought with such a fierce enemy, and even many of them were ordinary farmers and herdsmen, who knew shotguns but did not know about explosives, and many of them were even more frightened, and were bombed several times, and some turned around and fled, not caring about the riders' control.

The cavalry of the Hui army did not play its due threatening role, and the two wings of the Huaxia army were as calm as mountains.

When the Hui army hit the center of the large array and continued to develop, it could not forget to attack the two wings, but the Huaxia army, which was struggling to defend the two wings, used a large number of grenades to bombard the Hui infantry with heavy casualties and was at a loss.

The time was very short, a distance of six or seven hundred meters, under the impact of the brave return army, if it were not for the deliberate delay of the infantry of the Huaxia Army, it would have rushed in three or two minutes.

At this time, the artillery regiment personally controlled by Luo Yang, in fact, after the newly cast thirty flying thunder guns were added, the strength of this reinforced artillery regiment was a brigade.

Eighty flying thunder cannons are laid out in a row, and more than 30 foreign cannons make the artillery density on the battlefield quite large.

Because it was too cumbersome, many iron-cast cannons were left in Hanzhong, and there was no calculation to this point.

The times have made artillery the pride of the nineteenth century, and Luo Yang is also fortunate to be able to travel here, bow to its prosperity, and just give full play to his strengths.

There are not many shells for foreign artillery, and Huaxia Tian ** has not learned to make it himself, so it is used with caution, because the shells have a long range, more than a kilometer, and are given a special hunting figure for bombarding the enemy's flag and officers, requiring accuracy, ruthlessness, and caution.

The flying thunder cannon is the weapon of the main battle,

The first to start the battle was the foreign artillery, and every officer of the foreign artillery group under the command of the commander was equipped with a telescope, which was the founding of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and after the Qing army transferred a large number of things to this thing, the contribution to the Huaxia Army was all captured trophies.

With good eyes, personal training by experts such as Luo Yang**, and research and training of veteran artillerymen, these foreign cannons were aimed at the enemy's flag one by one and bombarded fiercely.

When a cannonball goes down and blossoms and bears fruit, it can make a flag of a general of the Hui army fall down, or even lose a trace, and dozens of soldiers are overturned, killed, and wounded.

With a bang, a big blood-colored wave was set off in the wave of the Hui army, reducing the charging speed of the Hui army.

However, the Hui army was still heroic, and it had been estimated for a long time, so that bloody gap was quickly covered and supplemented by the successors, and returned to the wave of continuation.

If there is only this foreign cannon, because of the limited number, it will definitely not be able to determine the battle situation outside Fengxiang City.

The Flying Thunder Cannon suddenly attacked,

Eighty flying thunder cannons, facing the enemy is a dense carpet charge, moreover, has been lured to the front of the infantry, the nearest is only fifty or sixty meters, and the shooting limit of the flying thunder cannon is two hundred and fifty sixty meters, because the power of the explosion, equivalent to within three hundred meters, is the explosion and death zone,

A large number of Hui troops entered the hell of death,

If the Hui army knew the characteristics of the weapons and equipment of the Huaxia Army, it would definitely not be so reckless and helpless, as long as it used cavalry guerrillas, it would definitely drag the Huaxia Army to exhaustion.

Of course, there are not many cavalry in the Hui army, the people a year ago, and the current troops are all militia without strict training, which is similar to the regimental training of the Qing army, even if they are generals with military experience, they are mostly at the bottom, and they do not have the strategy and consciousness of large-scale operations, which is the defect of the Hui army.

The hands of many artillerymen of the Chinese Army are trembling, and the wave of infantry of the Hui Army is too subversive,

"Ignition bombardment." After counting down the Arabic numerals, Luo Yang waved the flag and decisively gave the order to attack.

On the noisy battlefield, only Luo Yang himself could hear the countdown clearly, and everyone was looking at the flag.

Eighty flying thunder cannons bombarded at once,

What a spectacle it was,

Eighty rounds of explosives rose into the air, and smashed fiercely into the dense crowd of Hui troops, bursting with a bang, swallowing a large area of Hui troops around.

In the summer, the Hui soldiers were dressed very thinly, and in order to show their bravery, many even went into battle barearmed, bare-chested.

The anti-personnel used in the flying thunder cannon are mainly hard objects mixed inside, iron sand, porcelain pieces, etc., in the violent explosion and expansion waves, sharp objects of great speed will fly around in an instant, cutting and piercing the corpses of the Hui soldiers.

Equivalent to a large shotgun,

A single artillery shell will cause the desertification of a circular area with a radius of more than 10 meters, and the brightly colored collapse zone, in the dense crowd, the number of kills and casualties is often not less than 50, and the maximum may be 100 people, or even 1560 people.

After only one round of bombardment, the crowd of Hui troops in front of them was weakened by half.

Although the lethality is very strong, the lethality is not strong, so a large number of wounded soldiers were immediately caused.

Although the soldiers of the Hui army were brave, there were still many wounded and charged, but, after all, they lost the strong momentum of moving forward one by one, and many soldiers often rushed a few steps before realizing the difficulties and had to stop.

Although the strength of the Hui army's main frontal attack was 30,000, the part that entered the trap area was blown away by 5,000 or 6,000 people in just one round, which also brought great pressure to the others, and the attack was slow.
