Chapter 561: The Decisive Battle (1)
While the battlefield on the right flank was plunged into fierce battles, the battlefield on the left flank also began to go on the offensive.
The troops led by Du He are not weaker than Zhang Zongyu, the right flank battlefield has just begun to fight, Du He was taken aback, for no other reason, the artillery fire on the right flank battlefield is too dense, the rumbling cannon, the earth is completely shaken, even on the left flank position, you can feel the tremor of the earth, the dense artillery sound is endless, how many artillery pieces do you have to be, to be able to create such a shocking situation!
Du He knew in his heart that this time the pressure exerted by King Liang on the right wing had definitely reached its peak, forcing Baoding Town to mobilize all the artillery to the right wing battlefield, and all the heavy artillery to the right wing battlefield, then the left wing would definitely be exposed, his own opportunity to make a contribution!
As long as the left flank position of Baoding Town is defeated, and then the main force of Baoding Town is defeated, and Baoding Mansion is taken, this battle is not small compared to the battle of the monk Greenqin, Baoding is the last barrier of Beijing City, the south gate!
Don't miss the opportunity, lose it again!
"Order, the whole army attack!"
Du He gave an order, more than 10,000 people of the Twist Army cavalry began to launch a surprise attack on the Qing army position on the left flank, the first thing to greet them was the continuous cannonballs, although there was only one artillery battalion on the left flank position, twenty artillery, but it does not mean that there was none, twenty artillery, it was enough to deter the cavalry, not only that, the first battalion of infantry was in front of the position, ready to attack at any time.
However, Du He led the army for many years, experienced and keen, and he found the difference between the two wings, that is, although both sides had artillery to help, the artillery in the left flank position was obviously much weaker than the right flank, but listening to the sound of artillery, you could hear that the shells in the left flank position were obviously much more sparse!
Du He was overjoyed, as expected, King Liang's attack attracted all the heavy firepower of Baoding Town, and he was going to pick up a big bargain!
"Attack, attack! Order four thousand cavalry as a column and attack me in turn towards the left flank position! The enemy positions on the left flank must be taken today! ”
Du He is very smart, all pressed up, I'm afraid it won't have much effect, the opponent's strength is obviously insufficient now, all pressed up, can only increase their own casualties in a short period of time, it is better to squeeze round by round, take turns to attack, even if it is grinding, the opponent will be grinded to death!
The ordered Twist Army took turns to impact the left flank defense line of Baoding Town, and even some cavalry had broken through the artillery fire blockade and advanced the front line to the front of the left flank position, but the artillery blockade was broken, and then the Twist Army ushered in the fire blockade of the infantry.
The closer to the front of the position, the casualties paid by the Twist Army are getting bigger and bigger, after all, the forward of the Twist Army, or can not withstand the pressure brought by such a huge firepower, have retreated to the rear, but, a wave of offensive retreat, the Twist Army did not stop and then launched the second wave of offensive, the third wave of offensive, Du He is to use the personnel to consume the soldiers of Baoding Town, I just don't believe it, the artillery shells of Baoding Town are endless, their soldiers do not know fatigue and exhaustion, as long as their offensive firepower is slightly relaxed, The twist army will take advantage of the weakness to enter, and with a surprise attack, the left flank position of Baoding Town can be completed!
In the middle of winter, Gao Qi threw his bullshit hat aside, and even threw off the cotton coat on his body, carrying a revolver and machete in his hand, constantly roaring and commanding the battle.
However, the Twist Army still took the initiative, launching an offensive wave after wave, and when they rushed to the front of the position, the feather arrows in their hands were constantly firing, trying to suppress the muskets on the opposite side, and as time went by, the situation became delicate!
There were also casualties on the Baoding position, Gao Qi's eyes were on fire, the coat on his body flashed off, revealing his strong muscles, and began to personally manipulate the artillery, shooting at the enemy continuously, this artillery bombardment is completely Guo Ye when he was in Tianjin, the foundation laid for them, the rate of fire is fast, the accuracy is high, almost no bullets, every shell will fall in the most dense place of the crowd, the artillerymen who watched it were all relaxed, no wonder this guy is the general's right-hand man, This cannon kung fu is really amazing!
On the left flank, the two sides fell into a bitter battle, but the situation on the right flank began to become clear.
He Tengjiao led a thousand cavalry, under the cover of two artillery battalions, constantly impacting the array of the cavalry of the Twist Army, although the chaotic Twist Army had strong troops, but it lost its unified command, fought separately, and the people were panicked, and they couldn't suppress the assault of the cavalry in Baoding Town at all!
Just when the Twist Army became more and more chaotic, the last straw that crushed the Twist Army appeared!
In the northwest direction, a biao cavalry was divided into three teams, rushed towards the twist army like lightning, the musket in the hand continued to shoot, three thousand Mongolian cavalry finally appeared, although the three thousand people compared to the Baoding town cavalry, the difference is not known, but one by one muskets in hand, constantly shooting, bullets rain, was scared by firearms to the twist army more panicked, when the Mongolian cavalry rushed to the vicinity, the death of the musket under the twist army has exceeded 1,000 people, more wounded!
The strong offensive pressure made the formation of the Twist Army finally show signs of collapse, even if the Twist Army is strong, it is difficult to maintain its composure under the threat of such fierce artillery fire and muskets, and the Twist Army is like a headless fly, scurrying around, blindly avoiding the invasion of shells and bullets.
Just when Zhang Zongyu was in a hurry, the three Mongolian cavalry were like three sharp swords, stabbing into the military formation of the Twist Army, and the entire Twist Army was scattered.
Zhang Zongyu was in a hurry, if he retreated at this time, it would be all over, without his own containment, these artillery turned around and launched an attack on the left flank, and the twig army in the left flank direction was even more unbearable!
"Resist, resist! The other party does not have many troops, so they will all be killed by Lao Tzu! ”
Zhang Zongyu roared angrily, the big knife in his hand waved one after another, and seven or eight twisted troops became the ghost of Zhang Zongyu's knife!
"Boom!"
Just when Zhang Zongyu was killing people, a cannonball flew over and landed right in front of Zhang Zongyu's horse, and a huge wave of air blasted Zhang Zongyu out in an instant!
