Chapter 944: One-sided
"It's boring, it's really boring...... "Zhi Kexing muttered, glancing at the Khitan cavalry who fell in the continuous firelight, and there were no ripples in his heart, nor did he have any pleasure of winning. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
What is the point of such a one-sided war, like an adult and a child fighting against each other, holding down the opponent while fighting?
If you want to blame Dashun's weapons are too advanced, how can flesh and blood be the opponent of steel and gunpowder?
Even if it's a war horse, it's flesh and blood!
If it were Lu Chengqi, it would be different. He was very fond of this kind of scene. In later generations, there was a movie called "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace", which tells the story of hundreds of thousands of Qing soldiers who were "sick men of East Asia" on the battlefield, against thousands of British and French allied troops.
The Qing soldiers desperately rushed to the front of the British and French forces, but were killed one by one by the three blows of the British and French forces.
Those who were lucky enough to shoot an arrow right away from the horse were also shot by muskets, and none of them survived.
In the face of the huge gap in weapons, bows and arrows seem to have become children's toys, not worth mentioning.
The lethality of the gunpowder weapon is too great, just like the situation that Zhi Kexing saw on his horse, a black and pressed grenade ignited, and after being thrown, it exploded in the air or exploded on the ground, and the scattered pieces of iron were full of lethality. Grenades and Hongxiang rifles form an impassable line of fire. This is a land of death, and any flesh and blood can only end up here.
There is no such thing as an immortal in war.
But the way of dying is too horrible and incomprehensible, but it is the source of demoralization.
When King Liu's grenade was overturned to the ground by the aftermath of the grenade, the Khitan cavalry behind him immediately dispersed, and they all reined in the horse's head and ran back like crying dad and mother.
The king did not die, but was stunned.
Of course, when he tried to open his eyes, he saw his own soldiers and horses, like lost dogs, and fled in panic, and he was so depressed that he vomited out a mouthful of old blood.
The ears seemed to be deafened and buzzed all the time; The body was thrown off the horse, and the bones seemed to be broken. But the physical pain is not as good as the pain in the heart. Looking at the tribes that were scattered and fled, and the army was broken, he even had the heart to die.
"Defeated, defeated, defeated!" He shouted like a madman, "Da Liao, what kind of devil is your opponent! ”
At this time, the corpse collection team of the forbidden army also came up.
"There's a living man here!"
"What is he shouting?"
"I don't understand Khitan dialect, who can understand it?"
"I heard that the Chinese army has documents, and I can understand some ......"
"Tie him up, huh?"
"He's injured and can't run away without tying up. Bandage him and send him to the prisoner of war camp......"
……
At this time, Liuwang's hearing recovered somewhat. Hearing the voices of the forbidden soldiers around him, he had no love for a long time, and suddenly said loudly in Chinese: "Kill me, I will never be captured!" "He was so badly injured that he couldn't even move a finger. If it weren't for that, he would rather kill himself than fall into the hands of the Han Chinese.
"Yo, you're still having a big temper?"
"It looks like a Khitan official, so let's tell the general."
"Carry him away!"
……
As soon as the forbidden soldiers were banned, they brought a simple stretcher and put the king on it. Afraid that he would move, he tied him up with ropes.
This was the side of the left flank, because the rout was so quick and sudden that the rest of the Liao army did not know about it.
Even if they knew, they couldn't help it, because they couldn't protect themselves.
Almost all of the sub-mother cannons were left to the king of Chu in the front, and a few were given to the rear army.
It's these sub-mother cannons, which are enough for King Wu and King Wu to drink a pot. With Hongxiang-style rifles and deep trenches, they are like rabbits pulling turtles, and they have no way to start. Moreover, the bow and arrow could not reach far, but the Hongxiang rifle and the sub-mother cannon could constantly fall on their heads. Even many of the forbidden troops passed through the trenches and shot at close range, making them miserable. This kind of war, in which they can only be beaten and cannot fight back, is something they have never encountered before.
"This Han man is as cunning as a fox!" King Wu cursed fiercely, and he was forced to evacuate five miles away, directing the battle from afar.
The black evil king said: "The Han people have always been like this, and it is useless to complain. It's better for the cavalry to dismount, cooperate with the Han army, and kill from the trench. "The Han army they are talking about is an army composed of Han slaves in the Liao State, which has always been the object of coolies and oppression. The nomads seem to like this kind of evil the most, letting the Han people fight the Han people, and they are good to follow behind to pick up the cheap.
When King Wu heard this, it seemed that there was only this way: "The Han people will use such indiscriminate means, where is this field warfare?" It's clearly a siege war! ”
"The Han people use the terrain, and we can also use the terrain, which can't be blamed on the Han people for being cunning, it's just that we didn't expect it. It is said in the book of soldiers that soldiers are not tired of cheating, which is nothing. "The Black Evil King can see it.
The cavalry dismounted!
When he got the news, he immediately decided to send all the musketeers and bombardiers to the trenches. He could see that only the trenches could bring out the most power from firearms. A network of firepower criss-crossed, and even bunkers in high places. Isn't this just a small city?
You know, dig this criss-crossing trench, dotted with dark forts, the auxiliaries don't know how many iron catalpa have been dug up!
Now, it's time to test the results.
Unsurprisingly, it was also a one-sided war.
The Hongxiang rifle and grenade form a wall of death. Without speed, the Khitan and Han slave armies could not walk within fifty paces at all.
The Khitans were also brave, and they barely threw their bows and arrows into the trenches, but they were only a drop in the bucket.
A musket can take away a Khitan with a bullet, but the Khitan bow and arrow may not be able to hit the vital point of the forbidden army several times. The rest of the parts are protected by chain mail.
Even many forbidden troops were on bayonets, they were afraid that the Khitans would rush to the front and would not be able to fight back at the first time.
It's just that they underestimate the power of firearms, and no one would have thought that firearms, which are cold on weekdays, have actually become a sharp weapon for harvesting human lives at this moment.
"It is no wonder that His Majesty's infantry drill code says, 'Annihilate the enemy's combat power with infinite violence, and to achieve this purpose, only the combined impulse of organic power and firepower' is achieved. Before, the general didn't understand what firepower was, but now he has seen it......" Zengfu said in shock and inexplicable as he looked at the enemies who were blown up one by one.
The battle did not last long, and with useless efforts, no matter how hard the Liao army tried, it could not break through this perfect crossfire. Barely breached a dark fortress, and that could only be done by pulling out two or three forbidden soldiers. These two or three forbidden soldiers were not afraid of death, and actually picked up a strange gun and killed several Khitan soldiers desperately, only to be stabbed several times and die on the battlefield.
The Liao army was frightened, and when more than 10,000 soldiers fell under the firearms, the morale finally loosened a little.
Some soldiers couldn't stand such a cruel war, screamed strangely, and ran back violently.
"Stop, escapees, slash!"
King Wu was so mad that he personally bent his bow and shot the man who escaped.
But fear is contagious, King Wu can shoot one, can shoot two, but a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand?
The Khitan soldiers, who were defeated like a mountain and could not form an army, only hated their father and mother for having two legs, and ran to the ownerless horse crying. Even if King Wu and King Wu tried their best to stop drinking, they had little effect.
Seeing that the opportunity could not be missed, he ordered: "Use artillery, bombard two rounds, and then the whole army will attack!" ”
