Chapter 572: Broken Knife (Part II)

In fact, this lie is very clumsy, even if you calculate the distance, you can know that even if the two county towns are really attacked, it is not something that these small leaders on the front line can know. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 However, panic spreads like a plague, and there are not many people who have been able to calmly analyze which words are true and which are lies.

These people's savings and even the newly robbed family are in the county, and once their hometown is lost, their wealth will be ruined. Many people began to rush back, and these small leaders who spread rumors also shouted to take the brothers home and create chaos in the rear army.

The main generals of the coalition army are all in the front, and there are no troops in the rear to stand and baggage, and there are no generals to press the formation, only a few of the leaders of the swordsmen are in the rear to supervise the formation. These people's generals are a little mediocre, and they can only rely on their prestige, scolding and beating in the ranks, and shouting at their subordinates not to mess around.

The team, loyal to their commander, began to clash, scolded and pushed each other, and soon developed to a knife edge. These swordsmen have a lot of contradictions on weekdays, and even under the same banner, they don't like each other. However, due to military discipline and the orders of his superiors, he did not dare to open the fire. At this time, under the guidance of people with intentions, chaos mixed with personal enmity, creating a confrontational mood in the troops, some people have already drawn knives and slashed towards their robes.

Just when the situation was chaotic and several generals didn't know how to stabilize the situation, everyone suddenly felt that the ground under their feet trembled. It was as if the earth dragon had turned over, and everyone's feet felt shaken, and then, bursts of thunder came from far and near.

These swordsmen naturally heard that this was not a thunderbolt, nor was it an earth dragon turning over, but a large number of cavalry, rushing towards this side. Several leaders turned around and wanted to beckon their men to go down and take a look at the situation, but they saw that there were already minions fleeing with rolling and crawling, shouting as they fled: "Cavalry! The cavalry of the North Seas! ”

The battle flag was raised, and the tall steed from Taixi carried the cavalry of the Lu army wearing cuirass and waving sabers. Although the cuirass could not defend against bullets, in the sun, hundreds of cavalrymen, dressed in battle armor, came with a golden impact, this kind of impact was not the same as that of ordinary unarmored cavalry.

Due to the confusion, the most precious time for the queue was delayed, and the swordsmen had no time to organize a formation defense. And the petty officers, who had just shouted that their hometown had been lost and that they were going to take their brothers home, took the lead and knelt on the ground, threw their weapons away, and shouted: "Surrender, we surrender!" Don't kill us! ”

shouted to the people behind him: "Don't commit a melon, look at the majesty of others, aren't we sending a hard top to death?" Hurry up and throw the guys, it's too late to be too late! ”

Sun Meiyao, Hu Xiaolin, and Long Yangjian, who rushed to the front, were like three steel knives, smoothly cutting into the tofu. The general in charge of the postponement had just wanted to organize a rebellion, and the people around him had already collapsed. The commander reluctantly raised the knife in his hand, but soon, the head was cut off, which became the battle merit of the Lu cavalry.

Because Cheng Yue has been favored recently, Sun Meiyao, who is quite depressed in her heart, took her anger out on these coalition soldiers. The saber in his hand was wielded wantonly, reaping the life, and the war horse was rampant, like a demon god, beating the ranks of the rear army to pieces, killing and wounding.

In the face of this overwhelming combat power, more and more minions, influenced by those small bosses, dropped their weapons and surrendered on their knees. As soon as the tide of surrender began, it could not be contained, and the sound of swords and guns falling on the ground was endless. The rest of the people, unable to organize a resistance, had to flee in all directions, while the cavalry chased after them from behind, like hunting, and turned the fugitives into cold corpses.

The banner of the Salvation Monarch was cut down, the five-color battle flag of Beiyang was held high by the flag bearer, and Sun Meiyao waved the blood-stained saber in her hand at will, "The whole army moves forward, solve these scum!" "The iron hooves rolled, leaping forward. Looking at the momentum of this cavalry rolling forward, the captive's heart became cold with the weather, and his own master, this time, most likely really found the wrong opponent.

On the front line, the stormtroopers formed by the National Salvation Alliance, lined up in horizontal rows, shouted and rushed to the position of the Beiyang Army. As you run, you deduct the bolt and shoot a projectile forward.

However, with the protection of the bunker, the damage caused by this kind of shooting is very limited, and the Beiyang Army, which is hiding behind the bunker, raises its rifle unhurriedly and looks at the direction of Shuai Qi. It wasn't until Shuai Qi gave the order to shoot that the bolt was pulled and a powerful salvo after round was fired.

Zhao Guanhou held the mini gun in his hand, took a slight aim, and then deducted the bolt. On the attackers, a commander who was clearly dressed differently from his minion fell to the ground.

As soon as the shot was successful, he threw the rifle behind him, and the soldier who was in charge of loading took the gun and passed it backwards, while he brought another Minnie rifle with a good load

One person, armed with ten ammunition men, ten Mini rifles, reloading in turns, shooting. This luxurious configuration made Zhao Guanhou use a single-shot rifle to play the effect of an automatic weapon, just like a pipe organ cannon on the position, the bullets hit accurately and urgently, and countless civilian generals hated his bullets.

Sun Xinyuan, who was standing on the side, was also an excellent soldier who was born in the army and had good marksmanship, and he was able to reach the position of brigade commander in the Beiyang system by relying on military merits, and he would have more or less skills in his hands. But compared with Zhao Guanhou, he was much inferior, although he was also shooting hard, but the effect was a big difference after all.

"The crown handsome marksmanship is like a god, and he admires his duties. People say that they are generals in Beiyang, and they have hard kung fu in their hands, but when they look at the handsome today, they know that they have no way to see the door, so they dare not say that they are hard. ”

"You're welcome. We are the commander-in-chief, not the infantry, and the place that belongs to us is the command, not the front. Being on the front line like me is actually something that should not be done. It's just that if the opponent is them, there is no need to pay so much attention, a group of rabble similar to the Flying Tiger Regiment, there is no need to take it seriously. Besides, we have our own commanders, and if we do it like me at any other time, we will be revived. ”

Sun Xinyuan looked at the rear, and the command flag did not issue a new order, obviously recognizing the current situation and orders. He smiled secretly, being able to let the chief of staff coordinate the overall situation, and being on the front line as the commander of the soldiers is also rare in the Beiyang system. It seems that the commander has complete trust in the Prussian chief of staff, and he can use it freely, and even the command can be handed over, which is really a model of a general.

Facing the swordsman coalition army here, it was a brigade of Sun Xinyuan, plus the Li Zongyun brigade of the Lu army and two artillery battalions. With two brigades and two battalions, facing a coalition force of nearly 40,000 people, the difference in strength is huge. However, the equipment of the coalition army was far inferior to that of the Lu army, and in terms of firepower comparison, the Beiyang Army had more advantages.

, earth guns, and a small number of fast guns, more of a coalition of pike darts and spears, against the Beiyang platoon guns, more often, you can only rely on human life to fight. The shrapnel fired by the Lu army's twelve-pounder field howitzer caused casualties and bloodshed among the Shaanxi army.

A row of howitzer shotguns exploded on the heads of the Shaanxi army, and the steel balls scattered in all directions could make a battalion of the Shaanxi army lose its combat effectiveness. Cao Shiying's subordinates had more than 30,000 people, organized into nine divisions, and one battalion actually only had one company, so this platoon of artillery, for him, the loss could be regarded as a regiment.

Although there are many bad battles in Shaanxi, and the swordsmen are not afraid of death, this kind of battle is the first time it has been fought. In the past, although the swordsmen were poorly armed, the equipment of the officers and soldiers was not much better. As long as you rush, you will enter the white-edged link. Now this kind of fighting style of killing and wounding several regiments and not even seeing the face of the enemy, even these old swordsmen are already a little weak.

Yang Jiuwa crawled to Cao Shiying's side and said, "Commander Cao, I think we have to retreat." Otherwise, the brothers will have to fight all here, and it's not worth it! ”

"I also know it's not worth it, but it's not so easy to retreat now. As soon as we retreat, they will inevitably chase after us, and the troops will be scattered. It is to retreat, and it is also necessary to get rid of the enemy in front of you. Organize a death squad, charge me again, and be sure to defeat the artillery of the Lu army for me. ”

The power of these cannons also gave Yang Jiuwa a headache, and he nodded, "I'll personally bring people up, if I can't hit the artillery position, I won't come back!" ”

But as soon as he raised his head, the artillery fire of the Lu army fell down overwhelmingly. This time, the cannon hit more fiercely than ever before, the sound of explosions and shells was endless, and iron balls and shrapnel fell on the heads of the Shaanxi army for the first time.

When this continuous artillery fire ended, there were suddenly bursts of neat military music in the ranks of the Lu army. Yang Jiuwa got up in the mound, shook the loess on her head and body, and didn't bother to check the injury, so she dug Cao Shiying out of the soil first, and the two looked at the Lu army's position together.

A large number of Lu troops in military uniforms walked out from behind their bunkers, lined up in a horizontal line to the sound of military music, raised their bayonets, and launched a white-knuckle charge against the allied troops who were overwhelmed by a saturated artillery attack.

Originally, hand-to-hand combat was also the specialty of the Shaanxi army, but at this time, the heroes of Guanzhong, who had just been bombarded by artillery fire, still felt top-heavy and the world was spinning. Some people lay on the ground and did not dare to get up, for fear that as soon as they stood up, the shells would come again. At this time, the white-knuckle charge launched by the Lu army was not something that the Shaanxi army could follow.

After Reinstein gave the order to charge, he lowered his head and fiddled with his pocket watch, "If you can't end the battle within half an hour." It's good to have these salted fish! ”

"I'm Li Zongyun, Li Zongyun who can't be killed!" Under the unique slogan, Li Zongyun led the troops and rushed to the forefront of hand-to-hand combat, followed by Zhao Guanhou's headquarters, which was headed by Zhou Gui, who also joined in the hand-to-hand attack.

Judging from the comparison of numbers, the Shaanxi army is still in an overwhelming advantage. However, in the specific combat link, this advantage cannot be reflected. The structure of the Shaanxi army has been completely disrupted, and the men in Guanzhong, who are accustomed to fighting bad battles, are very unsuitable for this kind of charge of the soldiers. The snow-bright knife light, like a wall, easily pierced through all the blocks.

The infantrymen's guns were loaded with ammunition, and at the beginning of the stabbing were fired in a volley, followed by a bayonet assault. The last resistance of the swordsmen was easily run over by the alternating attacks of this row of guns and bayonets.

Sun Xinyuan has already taken his brigade as a vanguard, although the quality of his troops is not as good as the Lu army, but it can also be regarded as a strong force in the Beiyang, whether it is a platoon gun battle or hand-to-hand combat, it has a good performance. Zhao Guanhou couldn't help but nod and said: "It seems that Huguang has good soldiers, these soldiers can endure hard fighting, and they can fight so fiercely in places where the water is not suitable." If you give it to the right person, you must be a good soldier. ”

His troops are in the rearmost position, after all, they are fighting more with less, and once the Lord is encircled, it will be an unforeseen disaster. Even Reinstein would not agree to Zhao Guanhou's team entering the first line. Although he carried a knife in one hand and a revolver in the other, he was actually pretending to be mostly an element. turned his head and glanced at Zhou Gui, the flag officer beside him

"How's it going, homesick?"

"Yes! But my daughter-in-law said that I was not allowed to think about it. My marriage is fulfilled by the handsome, and my life has to be sold to the handsome. Wherever the handsome man points out, I have to fight, there is no place to be homesick. ”

"It's not a bad thing to be homesick, in fact, I also miss Shandong. This Shaanxi is not our place after all, how can there be Shandong good. Don't worry, it won't be long before we can go back. Look at it, as soon as these people and horses in front of him are wiped out, what hope does Guo Jian have? ”

The wave of surrender also began to spread in Cao Shiying's former army. It was first launched by the pawns of the Tiele people in the army, and then a chain reaction was formed. In the face of the strong combat effectiveness of the Lu army, the endurance of these rabble has reached its limit. Cao Shiying and others have lost effective control over the troops, and the collapse is inevitable.

First, sporadic troops gave up resistance, and then, more and more soldiers raised their hands to surrender, and when Sun Meiyao's cavalry shouted "Gao Jun and Cao Shiying have been captured, you will not surrender, let alone when" swept in, the surrender reached its peak.

A team of tens of thousands of people, if they fight to the death, they can still inflict great casualties on the Lu army. However, when they lost their leaders and lost the souls of their troops, tens of thousands of horses became tens of thousands of lambs to the slaughter. In all directions, there were prisoners who surrendered on their knees, and some of them were scattered stragglers.

The Lu army and the Hubei army pursued these routs at will and took their lives. The vigorous National Salvation Alliance, the northwest anti-Yuan, ushered in its own sunset in this chasing game.

Baishui, Puxian, outside the two counties, there were a large number of Beiyang soldiers, with the cooperation of the city and the gentry, the county changed hands very smoothly. At the head of the city, the banner of saving the monarch fell, and the five-color flag was raised again, announcing that this rebellion ended in failure.

Outside Shangnan City, Feng Huanzhang was covered in blood, holding a command knife in his hand, looking at the prisoners in front of him, as well as countless foot strength. I couldn't help laughing, the tiles also turned over, and this time I broke the coalition horse team with the remnants of the army and recruited thousands of cavalry prisoners. In the future of Shaanxi, he will eventually have a place, not relying on others, nor relying on the strength of foreigners, only with his own hands, he can also create a world. (To be continued.) )
