Chapter Seventy-Four: Winning with Righteousness and Odd Victory (6)
When Wu Sangui was stationed at Shanhaiguan, he also used artillery. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Naturally, he knew that it was not a meteor above, let alone a firework above, it was a spectacular sight when a large artillery salvo was fired.
Looking at these fireworks and meteors, Wu Sangui shouted loudly: "No! ”
With Wu Sangui's shout, these meteor showers fell.
Groups of shells smashed down, down, and down one after another, scattering, smashing, and stunning the dense formation of the Qing army's iron cavalry, and completely smashing them to death.
Thundered! Thundered! Thundered!
The explosions continued one after another, and the shrapnel of the shattered ones harvested human lives indiscriminately.
The saturation attack has shown its incomparably great power in the battlefield of today's dense army battles!
The Qing troops on horseback were blown away and destroyed by cannonballs, and their limbs and flesh were thrown into the sky, scattering them like raindrops, making them even more terrifying and disgusting.
The horses were overly frightened by the artillery fire and scurried in all directions, and they threw off the Qing soldiers who were riding on them.
They tried to escape from the bombardment of artillery fire, however, there were shells on all sides, and they could not find a way out, so they could only run around, and from time to time, some soldiers who fell off their horses were trampled by frightened horses and seriously injured.
The neighing, screaming, shouting, moaning, like a symphony of scenes, played out in the firelight.
The Qing army's iron cavalry turned from stunned to frightened, and I don't know who ran away with a scream first, and the Qing army's iron cavalry scattered and fled, trying to escape from this place of death.
As soon as he didn't run a few steps to the sides, all kinds of mechanisms set up by the Zheng family's military engineers in the dark of night a few days earlier began to exert their power.
For today's sake, the surveyors of the Gewu Academy looked at the surrounding terrain a few days earlier, made a distinction about how to plant mines, distinguished the areas of shelling of each brigade, and clarified the sequence of shelling and the coverage of shelling fire.
In this way, Zheng Chenggong was not at ease, and even ordered the fortifiers to dig countless traps.
It wasn't until it was confirmed that as long as Wu Sangui dared to come, the surrounding 10 miles were all shrouded in artillery fire, and he was satisfied to attack Guiyang City with all his might, just waiting for Wu Sangui to take the bait.
Mines, traps, thistles, and terrestis hidden beneath the surface、...... and other firearms that the Qing army had never seen or even thought of, became a nightmare for the Qing cavalry one by one.
The horses that had been cut off and their legs had been blown off, and the immobile horses were lying on the ground howling in pain, blood flowing, and in a few moments they were piled up into a hill of corpses.
Firearms and corpses formed an insurmountable chasm that made it impossible for the Qing army to escape.
Wu Sangui bit his lip and screamed: "Rush over, rush over, kill Zheng Chenggong, and we will win!" ”
By the way, just kill Zheng Chenggong. Just kill him, and then everything can be reversed!
Wu Sangui continued to rush forward with his personal guards.
It's almost a hundred meters!
Just when Wu Sangui opened fire, the loess earth in front of him suddenly collapsed, cracking a ditch nearly ten meters long.
The crack was so long that there was no end in sight.
If it weren't for growing up on horseback since childhood, if it wasn't for the fact that the mount was a good horse, the horsepower was strong, and it was under the rope of Wu Sangui.
With a 'sparse' roar, the horse's head was raised high, and the two front hooves waved a few times in mid-air, and with the strength of the two hind hooves, it spun in a circle and stopped its progress.
Wu Sangui didn't fall into that ditch like the others.
Standing on the edge, Wu Sangui subconsciously looked at the ditch.
Bastard, Zheng Chenggong, this bastard, is simply fucking insidious.
The bottom of the ditch was filled with sharp wooden spears, and the guards who fell into the ditch were pierced by the wooden spears, and the wounds were bleeding, and they died after a few convulsions.
What's even more hateful is that Zheng Chenggong's bastard, standing on the other side of the ditch, is smiling, as if he is sarcastic: You have the ability to come here!
Looking at Zheng Chenggong's smile, Wu Sangui was furious, if he could, Wu Sangui would definitely rush over and bite him to death.
Wu Sangui's army was bombarded by artillery fire from the sky and mines underground, and no one could see it.
With this ditch, there is no way to rush over and kill Zheng Chenggong. Wu Sangui shouted angrily, "Retreat quickly, quickly!" ”
The Qing soldiers also knew who was faster and who had a better chance of surviving at this time, and ran back like a tide.
The Qing soldiers rushed to the back, and for a time there was great confusion.
Zheng Jiajun's shells still fell like death overhead, taking dozens of lives.
The courage of all the Qing soldiers has been lost, and this artillery fire is not at all something that can be stopped by manpower, and it is the best policy to flee and flee quickly.
Seeing that the Qing army wanted to escape, Zheng Chenggong hurriedly drank, "Don't let the enemy escape, order the artillery fire to extend backwards!" ”
In a panic, Wu Sangui couldn't organize people at all, so he could only turn around with the more than 100 guards who were still following him and rush towards the way he came.
Along the way, there were chaotic armies and galloping horses everywhere, blocking them, and the leader of the pro-soldiers who was responsible for opening the way in front had no choice but to wave his long knife, regardless of the people who were blocking the road in front of him.
Wu Sangui led the guards to fight a bloody way out and rushed out.
The front rider fell off the horse and fell right in front of Wu Sangui's horse.
As soon as he saw Wu Sangui, he immediately stretched out his right hand and shouted, "Uncle, help!" ”
It is the king of Pingnan, who is still gratifying.
Wu Sangui frowned, and made up his mind in an instant. Ignoring him, he drove his horse and rushed over.
"Don't stop, rush!" In Wu Sangui's shouting, the guards also rushed over.
Shang Kexi, the puppet king of Pingnan, didn't even have time to shout, but he was trampled on the ground by Wu Sangui, who was in a hurry to escape, and the guards behind him, and died a miserable death.
The Qing army fled desperately, and the shells continued to fall on them like a torrential rain as if they didn't want money.
From the beginning of the battle to the present day, it has been almost thirty minutes.
He Ming, who was in charge of the artillery brigade, ran to Zheng Chenggong and said, "General, the shells are almost gone!" ”
Seeing that the bones of the Qing army that had been blown up in the artillery fire were gone, Zheng Chenggong was happy when he suddenly heard Chen Liuyu say that the shells were almost gone, and he was stunned.
Hey, the artillery is comfortable, but it's also consumed too quickly.
For today, when attacking Guiyang, the artillery was not used much, just to be able to leave shells to fight the Qing cavalry.
But I didn't expect that in the end, it was not enough.
Forget it, anyway, the establishment of Wu Sangui's army has been completely disrupted, everyone only knows how to escape, escape from this hell, and no one has the courage to turn the horse's head and kill it back.
Zheng Chenggong ordered: "Order Yao Guotai to attack, you must try your best to leave Wu Sangui to Lao Tzu!" ’
"Yes!" (To be continued.) )
