Chapter 133: A Great Victory
Because of the chaos of the battle, especially the noise and smoke during the bombardment, the Hui army could not see anything more, nor could they recognize the danger of the whole situation, but the forward battlefield with brave charges, blood splashed, and corpses was quickly filled with the figures of these brave soldiers.
In half a minute, the smoke and dust were dispersed, new gunpowder and fire lines were arranged, and explosives bags were installed.
The new round of bombardment once again repeated the power of the last time, and almost swept away the Hui troops in the depression.
The mutilated corpses flew sideways in the air, impacted, filled with gunsmoke, and the slight bitter taste made the throat of every combatant tighten, and they coughed violently,
The visibility of the artillery has also been reduced a lot, and almost all the people on the battlefield have been affected considerably.
Luo Yang looked at the fallen Hui army with a sad heart, helpless, if these Hui generals can accept his request rationally and coexist peacefully, then with such a brave soldier to oppose the Qing Dynasty and fight against foreign interference invaders, how spectacular,
This is cannibalism within the Chinese nation.
The artillery positions bombarded five times in a row, and the groups of Hui troops who had entered the firing range were bombarded into tatters,
The difference in weapons and equipment determined the outcome of this battle, so when the artillery bombarded for the sixth time, it was already a pursuit, and later, it was criticized by Luo Yang.
But at the maximum range, the sixth round of artillery firing scattered thousands of Hui troops from about 200 to 300 meters.
The tactics of the sea of people versus the tactics of artillery are the sorrow of the soldiers of the Hui army,
When the vast majority of the Hui officers and soldiers were swallowed up by artillery fire, the follow-up Hui army, the Hui cavalry on both wings, finally understood the problem, so those cavalry launched a crazy suicide attack, the heroic dedication of the holy war, so that the casualties were huge, and in some areas once broke through the defense line of the Chinese army,
This is the end of the crossbow, which loses the meaning of strategy and tactics, and then these riders are killed or commit suicide.
The main force of the Hui army was killed and wounded, and the victory or defeat had been determined, Luo Yang ordered to blow the military horn and launch a counteroffensive.
The large array of the Huaxia army immediately advanced forward, especially the cavalry on both flanks, after annihilating the enemy's cavalry, the essence of the rapid reaction force in these years, full of ambition and indomitable, deeply inserted into the array of the remnants of the Hui army, while the other infantry, charged forward decisively,
The situation was completely reversed, and the surging troops of the Huaxia Army subverted and occupied the original position of the Hui Army in a blink of an eye.
The battle a few miles south of Fengxiang City was successfully resolved in less than an hour.
The crazy cavalry of the Huaxia Army intercepted the fleeing Hui infantry, and none of them ran away, and the Hui soldiers who were stunned by the fiasco also lost the will to fight.
It took ten minutes to occupy the Hui army array, and twenty minutes to hastily clean up the battlefield, pack up all the flags, sabers, foreign guns, spears, etc. of the Hui army, and organize the prisoners of war.
Luo Yang didn't bother to count the results of the battle, he immediately sent his reserve troops to join the battle: "Hurry, hurry." ”
A team of soldiers of the Huaxia Army, wearing captured Hui army clothes and hats, dressed as Hui soldiers, with platoons as a formation, galloped towards Fengxiang City in a "chaotic" manner.
The hot sun, the cool breeze is completely gone, the smoke of the battle is permeating, the battlefield is chaotic and turbid, it is a good shelter, and the soldiers of a regiment are dressed up in advance, at this time, immediately set off,
Carrying many grenades and other firepower weapons, the troops of more than 1,000 people rushed towards the west bread of Fengxiang City.
The meaning of not going through the south gate of the city is that I am worried that the Hui army besieging troops there will snoop on and find out, causing a battle.
Because most of the infantry did not play a role in the battle, they were quite dissatisfied and clamored in the face of major victories, which was also in line with Luoyang's battle concept, and immediately pressed the infantry brigade to the position of the besieging troops of the Hui army.
The mighty army, covering the sky and the sun, is like a swarm of terrible locusts,
Although the cavalry of the Huaxia army worked quite hard and intercepted the vast majority of the defeated Hui army, it was impossible to capture them, and the defeated soldiers of the Hui army were able to escape, only a few cavalry, as soon as they rushed back to the besieged position, as soon as the news was communicated, it caused a huge riot,
The Hui soldiers besieging the city were panicked and overwhelmed.
Several troops besieged the city, among which Wang Mingzhang, Yang Wenzhi, etc., who had excellent strategy, decisively withdrew from the siege, gathered their troops, and prepared for battle.
In fact, no matter how the Hui army responded, it was inevitable that there would be a big defeat, because the siege was long, and the Hui army was also quite lax, and a large number of family members were relocated here, and the number of family members was far more than the army.
In a hurry, the Hui army launched a charge against the Huaxia Army, taking attack as defense, and the Huaxia Army was in a hurry because of the huge victory in the south of the city, and it was also anxious to enter the battle.
There are not many troops in the Hui army, there are only 20,000 troops left in the surrounding city, and the troops in the south of the city are only more than 5,000, and they are not elites, all the elites have been lost in the south of the city, so hundreds of people are in the vanguard of the charge, just dying,
Annihilated the small force of the Hui army's counteroffensive, the Huaxia army directly advanced to the Hui army's position and launched a fierce attack on the Hui army.
The Huaxia army won a great victory in front, and the morale was high, and the Hui army knew that the main force was annihilated, everyone was afraid, and the situation of the battle between the two sides was self-evident.
After the defeat of the Hui army, after killing and wounding more than 1,000 people, they fled lifelessly to the east and west.
The Huaxia army was in hot pursuit, especially the cavalry, and frantically assaulted into the crowd of Hui troops, slashing and shouting, stirring the Hui officers and soldiers into a mess.
At this time, on the position of the Hui army in the west, as soon as the more than 1,000 puppet Hui troops arrived, they were warmly welcomed by the Hui army, and they asked worriedly, these puppet Hui troops coped with it on the one hand, and on the other hand, they entered the camp of the Hui army, shouted a shout, and suddenly attacked.
There were not many Hui soldiers, more than three or four thousand, and more than 20,000 family members and people, although the total number was large, but the old, weak, sick and disabled were so panicked and cried that their camp was in chaos, and the grenade bombardment of the Huaxia sneak attack troops and the measures of igniting the tents in the barracks broke up all the Hui troops in the west of the city at once.
Several important generals of the Hui army were killed, and the Huaxia army, which had fierce firepower, continued to attack, and kept mixing the soldiers and civilians of the Hui army together, chasing in the northwest direction.
It was still a political propaganda offensive, and the Huaxia Army shouted: "Surrender the gun and don't kill, return to the Han family." ”
On this basis, many Hui people who dragged their families with their mouths chose luck and surrendered one after another.
The Chinese army was greatly invigorated, chased after the victory, along the Fengxiang city, first south and then east, north, west, counterclockwise turn, all the siege of the city back to the army, expelled and annihilated,
