Chapter 301: Surprise to Despair
At this time, Zhao Yun, who had reacted, also spoke.
Under the gaze of the two pairs of eyes, he replied in a surprising voice: "Dashuai, the last general thinks that this kind of fighting style can definitely completely defeat the fifteen thousand traitors outside Baode County under the cover of night." â
"In order to kill these traitors as much as possible, the last general has a small idea..."
"After entering the rebel camp as five thousand cavalry of traitors, we can completely divide into four and form four small military formations with regiments as units. In this way, our limited firepower can be used to the maximum. Use grenades and muskets to eliminate as many of these traitors as possible. â
"Good way...," Wei Zheng affirmed loudly.
Then, he directly opened his mouth and ordered: "Ben Shuai ordered: All the soldiers participating in the battle, all take off their armor, bring all grenades and throwing guns, and this Shuai will personally command them, and attack the traitor camp at night..."
The rebel quarters, which had been completely covered in night, except for a few generals who could live in warm tents. Ordinary traitors, without exception, sat around piles of bonfires, leaned against each other, and kept each other warm.
As for the guard patrol mission sent by the marshal, it has long been forgotten by these traitors.
In the eyes of these traitors, the current Baode County is the world of cavalry. If the reinforcements sent by the imperial court entered the territory of Baode County and prepared to attack the barracks, the cavalry would definitely get the news as soon as possible and send the news back.
In such a situation, the so-called guard patrol becomes a useless ornament. Instead of spending your body in vain in the biting cold night, it is better to snuggle up next to the campfire to keep warm.
Of course, among more than 10,000 people outside the city. There are also some enthusiastic traitors. Didn't take an early break like most do. Save the body lĂŹ. Instead, they gathered at the gate of the barracks with great anticipation, waiting for the cavalry to return. Let's see if we can get some of the gold, silver, and grain they have plundered from the people of the cavalry brothers......
Finally, in the anticipation of these people, a dull and deafening sound of horses' hooves finally reached their ears faintly. Then, a fire dragon composed of torches appeared in everyone's field of vision.
As the fire dragon gets closer and closer to the rebel's station. The face of the traitor who was sticking to the gate of the barracks also slowly showed a look of expectation. A pair of eyes, staring at the cavalry getting closer and closer, wanting to see what these cavalry had snatched back, and whether they had their own points...
"Boom..."In the blink of an eye, the roaring cavalry rushed to the gate of the barracks.
Maybe it's to make it easier for the rebels in the camp to believe in themselves, or maybe it's to make the next division of troops seem less abrupt. The roaring cavalry was either holding a cut off horse's leg or carrying a cloth bag containing more than a dozen catties of grain.
After seeing the traitors blocking the entrance of the barracks, the cavalry who rushed to the front directly used all their strength. Throw the leg of the horse in his hand towards the barracks. Then, shouted.
"The general has an order. We snatched a lot of things back today, and everyone has a share...."
"This is the leg of a horse, I will give it to all the brothers today to give you a tooth sacrifice and taste the taste of meat..."
After learning that the thing that the cavalry brothers had just thrown over turned out to be horse meat, the faces of the hundreds of traitors who had not tasted meat for a long time directly showed a look full of longing.
Then, like a pack of wolves asking about the smell of blood, they pounced directly on the horse's leg that had already landed, hoping to cut a few pieces of meat from the horse's leg and taste this long-lost taste of meat.
At the same time, the legs of the horses in the hands of the other two cavalrymen were also thrown into the barracks.
Attracted by the three horse's legs, in the blink of an eye, the traitors gathered at the gate of the barracks disappeared completely.
After glancing at the traitor who was frantically snatching a few horse legs in front of him, the corners of the mouths of several cavalry soldiers flashed a sneer. After kicking the war horse in the crotch with his heel, he quickly poured into the traitor camp along the passage let out by the traitor.
More than 6,000 cavalry, followed by him, also rushed into the barracks.
When they rushed to the gate of Baode County, there were only a hundred steps left. The endless cavalry contingent suddenly stopped. Then, a cavalryman was heard shouting.
"Brothers, our general has an order, and we have looted a lot of things back today, and everyone has a share...... Cavalry brothers, immediately divide the troops and distribute what you have stolen to these brothers outside the city..."
After the roar, the roaring cavalry did not care about the bewildered and shocked gazes of the traitors around them, and directly divided into four and galloped towards the intended target.
Of course, in order to avoid the suspicion of the traitors around him, the legs of the horses, the bags of grain....were thrown into the group of traitors by the soldiers from time to time, causing more and more fierce scrambles every time.
As far as the eye can see, wherever the Haw Par cavalry has been, the traitors here will be thrown into chaos because they are fighting for a piece of horse meat or even a bun. What's more, he even directly picked up his weapon and started fighting.
Before the battle had even begun, more than 10,000 rebels stationed outside Xiancheng were thrown into disarray because of some horse meat and food. This is definitely something that Wei Zheng did not expect.
However, this chaos is obviously very beneficial for the Haw Par Army who want to take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.
Therefore, the faces of the cavalrymen who were riding their horses and galloping wildly in the traitor camp were invisibly, showing a trace of anticipation and yearning for this night attack.
Soon, the four cavalry corps, divided into four, felt a predetermined goal.
And the roars of generals at all levels quickly formed a huge circle formation of three rows in front and back.
Just when the faces of the surrounding traitors were puzzled by the changes in front of them, and they were even expecting the Tiger and Par Army to throw out some horse meat and food in front of them.
A short-barreled musket was quickly held in the hands of the cavalry soldiers.
After a simple aim, the muzzle of the black hole was simply aimed, and he did not hesitate to pull the trigger....
"Bang Bang Bang......"A string of gunshots like popping beans rang out, and in the night, the muzzle of the black hole directly spewed out a ball of flames. Then, the lead bullet that whistled out, with the breath of death, lightly pierced the cotton clothes on his body and pierced his body.
Hundreds of short-barreled muskets, in the midst of a dense crowd of traitors, took at least two hundred lives with lead bullets with little needing to aim...
In the face of this familiar and unfamiliar sound of musket shooting, in the face of the sudden blow and death in front of them, the first reaction of the surrounding traitors was puzzled....
The cavalry, which is also a traitor, why would they attack themselves ...
The cavalry brothers, who were only armed with sabers, were even equipped with muskets, and they were new muskets that were not even needed for arquebuses.
However, they no longer have a chance to figure out these doubts.
The first round of musket firing had just stopped, followed by the second round of musket firing, and the second round of lead bullets, which were already whistling towards them.
Then, a third round of lead bullets, also with a whistle of breaking through the air and the breath of death, swept towards them.
In the blink of an eye, all the traitors within ten paces of the Tiger and Leopard Army's circle fell in a pool of blood.
Or into motionless corpses, or into wounded people who are screaming.
And it was only at this time that the traitors who were attacked around them reacted from their doubts. And with a shocked face, he shouted: "They are not our cavalry brothers, they are official soldiers, and the imperial court has sent them to destroy our army..."
"Brothers, they are officers and soldiers, they all rush forward and destroy them..."
Just when the traitor with a shocked face began to react, brandishing the chaotic weapon in his hand, ready to rush towards the tiger and leopard army's circle formation. The first platoon of cavalry officers, who had already finished shooting, once again flattened their muskets and pulled the trigger on them without hesitation.
As soon as the shooting was finished, the second platoon of cavalry officers behind him also picked up their muskets and pulled the trigger.
In this way, more than a thousand cavalry soldiers, in front of the traitors who did not have any long-range attack weapons, actually gave full play to the three-stage shooting that the musketeers were best at.
With just the musket in his hand, he could kill the traitor beyond even a single step.
Soon, more than ten steps away from the Tiger and Leopard Army's circle formation, a layer of rebel corpses in various postures fell on the ground.
Under the threat of death and bloody scenes, the face of the traitor, who was still fearless of death just now, also unconsciously showed a heartfelt fear...
At this time, the regiment commander standing in the center of the circle knew that he only needed to deal another fatal blow to the traitors around him. The fighting courage of these traitors will be like a flood that bursts the embankment, pouring for thousands of miles.
After glancing at the surrounding less than two hundred people, acting as a guard for the reserve.
A sneer full of murderous intent quickly appeared on the face of the regiment commander. He shouted at the guards around him, who had long been impatient, and shouted: "Brothers of the guards, grenades are ready....throw grenades at the traitors..."
"Others, continue to kill with muskets....until the surrounding traitors collapse..."
Under the protection of the musketeers, more than 100 soldiers of the guards, without any worries, took out their grenades, took out fire breakers, lit the fire ropes, and with all their strength, threw grenades that had begun to emit white smoke at the traitors dozens of paces away.
As soon as the grenade with a whistling sound landed, the violent explosion began to sound on the battlefield in an endless stream.
In the dark night, fireballs rose into the air, and they appeared very dazzlingly around the circle.
Under the reflection of the fireball, all the traitors who were shrouded in the fireball, without exception, all fell to the ground with despair.
As for the traitors who were a little further away, they did not escape the fate of being killed.
Flying shells, with a force no less powerful than lead bullets, roared and pierced into their bodies, taking their lives away.
In a word, as long as the place is patronized by grenades, the dense traitors are directly blown to the ground in pieces and turned into corpses. (To be continued......)
