Chapter 227: Defeat the Enemy
At the same time as the battle on the water, the battle on land has begun. [.23[w]x. Outside Thang Long City, a great battle is about to break out.
Li Twelve, Gu Ying and others believed that with their own firepower, they would definitely defeat the Ruan army easily. They did kill a lot of people who rushed towards them, but unfortunately, most of these people were cannon fodder!
Li XII unscrupulously drove the mixed brigade of vehicles and artillery into a very close place to the Nguyen army, and a long large cart lined up, and the car plates were connected to each other, forming a fortification to protect the soldiers.
Eight jack cannons had been unloaded from the car, and twenty heavy cannons, as well as other guns, had their muzzles adjusted and were ready to meet the enemy.
The first to attack Li Twelve and them were 50,000 people, not real soldiers, they were all cannon fodder with desperate eyes.
Looking at the dense crowd of people, Li Twelve asked Wang Si, "Little Si, are you ready?" β
"Don't worry! I'm all set! It won't take a few shots to knock them out! "Wang Si is now very experienced in artillery.
"Just blow it! Wait for the tiger master to come over and see that your cannon doesn't work, so I have to kick you! Li Twelve was laughing and didn't take it seriously.
"It's okay, I know it in my heart, my father Li is here, he will definitely praise me!" Wang Si said very confidently.
Sure enough, when these cannon fodder entered the range of the cannon of the Thousand Jin Franc machine, Wang Si ordered the fire.
I only heard the sound of the mountain shaking and the ground cracking, and eight huge solid iron bullets flew out with a whistling voice.
Like ploughing, the crowd used as cannon fodder was trampled out of the eight ditches. Blood ditch! A lot of people have been beaten to pieces.
The cannon fodder stopped suddenly, looked at it, and suddenly shouted. Turn around and run.
Li Twelve, Gu Ying and the others laughed.
Wang Si also smiled and said, "Look, it's not me bragging, isn't it, only eight shells knocked the enemy back!" β
However, the cannon fodder running backwards stopped, and more than 10,000 Ruan soldiers blocked the way with knives, guns, bows and arrows, and were slashing and slashing. Cannon fodder did not dare to run backwards.
Ruan Lord Ruan Gang ordered loudly, "Those who dare to retreat and flee will be killed!" You can only rush forward! The one who survived. Not only will I give you freedom, but I will also give you silver, twenty taels each. β
If you retreat backwards, you will surely die, and if you rush forward, you may still die! Let's fight it. Fifty thousand cannon fodder turned around. shouted and killed Li Twelve's side. The 20,000 Nguyen troops followed closely behind to prevent the cannon fodder from retreating.
Behind is 50,000 cannon fodder, followed by Ruan Jun with knives and guns.
Then there were 100,000 cannon fodder, and finally all the Nguyen army.
All the people lined up to charge forward, and all the Nguyen troops received an order to retreat, kill!
Ruan Gang was at the back, and he looked at the rolling flow of people. Excited to think, so many people. How did I rush over. If you go out today, either you die or I die! Ruan Gang also rushed over.
Li Twelve and the others were taken aback, these people are crazy?
Wang Si hurriedly ordered the gunners to prepare, and when the enemy ran closer, Wang Si waved the flag, and all the large and small Franc machine guns were sprayed.
After the artillery battle against Gaoping, Li Guo almost equipped most of the Franc cannons with sub-guns, and each Franc cannon was equipped with at least ten sub-guns, so that the continuous firepower could be maintained. Therefore, the firepower of the mixed brigade of vehicles and artillery commanded by Wang Si is amazing.
As the guns flare, dense shells rain down. Batches of enemies were smashed into meat sauce, one by one the flowering shells cracked and flew, and the grape bullets scattered in all directions, one by one.
The front of the entire battlefield was filled with gunsmoke, the vanguard of the Ruan army was completely defeated, and the dead bodies were everywhere, in front of the closest to Wang Si's artillery, the dead bodies were even piled up half a meter high, and the whole battlefield was scattered with bloody gas, and some of the remnants of the Ruan army were even frightened to the point of insanity, crying bitterly, and many people vomited in the face of broken limbs and arms.
The entire battlefield turned into a sea of blood. The fierce artillery attack just now directly killed nearly 100,000 people, and more than 100,000 people were wounded.
According to statistics, in the face of a large area of the enemy, every 3 shells can kill about 5 people and wound 10 people, and it is definitely not enough to face too many enemy charges (such as group army charges).
Fortunately, there was plenty of ammunition, and fortunately, the density of the enemy was too large, so so many enemies were killed and wounded, and if the enemy was evacuating, there would not have been so many casualties. But no matter how much ammunition you have, there will always be a time when you run out.
Therefore, after seeing that the firearms of Wang Si's vehicle artillery brigade had almost exhausted all the ammunition, Li 12 immediately ordered nearly 40,000 elite soldiers to step forward and set up a large array of mandarin ducks, ready to meet the enemy.
And those Houli captives who had been captured together with Zheng Miao, Li Twelve couldn't count on them, and they were all already scared stupid, and they really saw the power of Li Guo's army. Facing the bloody atmosphere on the battlefield, these captives trembled, and although they were not Li Guo's enemies now, they were still deeply afraid of Li Guo's troops.
The Ruan army on the opposite side also did not move, and there was no sign of attack at all. The cannon fodder and part of the Ruan army were killed and wounded, and the Ruan army still had nearly 300,000 troops, if they all rushed over now, even if Li Twelve's mandarin duck array of nearly 40,000 people could withstand it, the casualties would definitely be not small.
Nearly 10,000 men of Wang Si's artillery brigade also left the artillery and joined Li XII's mandarin duck array, preparing to deal with the next wave of the enemy's charge. However, there was no sign of the Ruan army charging for a long time!
The remaining Ruan troops, including the Ruan lord Ruan Gang, now have neither the intention of attacking nor retreating, not that they don't want to, but they are all stunned!
They had never seen such a fierce team, and they had never fought such a tragic battle. Ruan Gang's naΓ―ve idea of defeating Li Guo's troops with crowd tactics was completely shattered, in fact, if they charged at this moment, they might not be able to win, but they could open a bloody road!
But including Ruan Gang, just staying stupid like this, they lost the last chance to escape. Because there were shouts and gunfire from behind them!
All Ruan Jun finally reacted and ran! Nearly 300,000 Ruan troops shouted in unison and fled in all directions!
Seeing that the Ruan army had broken the camp, Li Twelve and the others came to their senses, and he ordered everyone, including the captive soldiers in Houli, to chase and kill! Li XII mounted his horse and outflanked the flank with his cavalry, intending to surround the enemy.
The Ruan army also killed two teams of men and horses, and one of them was killed from Thang Long City. Hearing the sound of cannons, Luo Hu began to organize the soldiers and civilians in Dragon City, and when the cannons stopped, Luo Hu had already led people out of Thang Long City.
And the other mighty tiger army was neatly lined up, with high morale, they held unified firearms and cold weapons in their hands, shouting to kill the scattered enemy, these were Li Guo's reinforcements from the waterway, the commander of the battle was Liu Tichun, and he was followed by Zheng Miao.
Li Guo didn't charge, he was angry now, because he had been taken care of. (To be continued......)
