Chapter 110: Wind and Thunder on the Flat Ground (II)
Seeing that the opposite infantry team had just run, Weng Zhengqing heard "Loaded!" The ruler has been adjusted. In front of him were messy war horses scattered in all directions, less than five hundred meters away, Jiannu was the Jiannu infantry team.
The design that can be adjusted with bolts by shaking the handle is a genius design in Weng Zhengqing's opinion. I didn't have time to think about it now, so I raised my hand and waved it down. "Fire!"
Although the distance was only five hundred meters, for the Houjin soldiers who encountered this tactic for the first time, it was simply walking in hell. The rate of fire of that kind of artillery is far beyond thinking about it. The trotting forward was only fifty paces, and the swarthy cannonball came again, and it was difficult to miss such a large target and such a close distance.
However, there were really people who did such a difficult thing to do, and the first two shells actually flew over Jiannu's head. Fly...... Passed! Weng Zhengqing's face turned blue, fortunately, the four guns in the back, one shot hit the crowd, and the three guns fell a little in front of the crowd. The high-speed rolling shells tore apart the dense formation, leaving a blood groove all the way, and the screams of dozens of people.
At this time, Duoguna saw that something was wrong, this Ming army had all the same bird guns and cannons, and the range of bird guns was extremely long.
Hesitated and difficult to give the order to retreat, and just as he hesitated, the artillery on the opposite side rang out again. It may be that he is not so nervous, this time he hit the Jiannu infantry team at a distance of about 300 meters in front, and all six cannons were missed, even if there were as many as five shells that fell in front, and the shells that rushed forward at high speed were not at all that human reactions could dodge.
"Retreat. Retreat! Dorguna finally gave the order to retreat, and the herald beside him froze. Didn't even engage in battle, so they withdrew?
Although there were only three rounds of shelling. But the Houjin Brigade was already messy, and Chen Xie saw it clearly and made a bold move. Raising the knife to the chest, this action was an order, and although all the officers did not understand it, they also carried it out mechanically and followed the banner.
"Dengzhou regimental training camp, forward!" Knock knock! Knock knock! Knock knock! Boom!
The war drums are orders, and all the soldiers carry their guns on their shoulders and follow the rhythm of the drums. Follow the tall and majestic figure at the front, even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of you, you will be indomitable!
Brush, brush, neat steps, knock knock, drum beat dull knock on the heart.
The distance between the two armies was less than 250 meters, and Chen Xie in front of him dropped his knife and faced down obliquely. Brush! Neatly stopped!
"Raise your gun! Aim! Fire! After a coherent order, the Dengzhou regiment was over the training camp. A layer of gunpowder smoke wafted up.
It was like a gust of wind swept by, and the soldiers at the front fell one by one, no one counted them carefully, but certainly not less than fifty. Without waiting for them to react. Not even the screams could be heard clearly, and another burst of gunfire swept down again.
Like a few steps before the entire post-Kim step team. A line of death was drawn. The momentum of the trot was fiercely blocked by an invisible copper wall, and the projectiles continued to hit the companions around them. Blood flowers were splashed one by one, and the screams seeped into the bone marrow. Whether it is an armored minion or a heavily armored master, the blocker is invincible. Like an invisible hammer, it smashed the entire front back fiercely. The person who was hit, who was lucky, was hit in the limb, and the projectile dragged the person to the side, and he could not get up when he fell, although he screamed in pain, but he could not die, at most he lost an arm or leg or foot. If you are a little less lucky, you will be hit in the key parts of the face and chest, and you will be planted back, and you will lose your life before you can shout. The worst luck is those who have been shot in the body, the high-speed rotating lead bullet pierces the armor, even if it is a Houjin warrior wearing three layers of armor, all of them are spared by the projectile drilled into the body, tumbling and stirring, some intestines are broken, flowing out of the wound, some are hit in the lungs, and in the end the mouth and nose bleed, the common characteristic of these people is that they will not die for a while and a half, and they will be tortured for a long time before they breathe.
At a distance of one hundred and fifty paces, the bird gun can break through the armor, which is already a terrifying phenomenon. Even the veterans of Houjin, who have experienced a hundred battles and regard life and death as ordinary things, have been broken through the psychological defense line by this cruel reality. Not to mention, they used to face the reality that they were about to die when others died, but today they are facing the reality that they are about to die.
If the previous shelling caused the formation of these Houjin soldiers, who boasted that they could defeat their opponents lightly, they were psychologically shaken, and they gave birth to fear. Then this platoon of guns completely knocked out their courage. Don't talk about the tenacious fighting spirit of the Houjin warriors, in this era, there is not even an army that can support the psychological pressure brought by this casualty speed, and the army that can withstand thirty percent of casualties and not disperse is the Iron Army. The one who can withstand fifty percent of casualties and still keep fighting, that is the Iron Division.
And Jiannu, who is still far from the division of steel, or can it be dispersed after being killed and wounded by the Guanning Iron Cavalry under the city of Beijing? Jiannu was able to sweep the Ming army, and the only explanation was that the Ming army was rotten enough!
Today, standing in front of Jiannu is a modern army built by cruel military discipline and the strictest training, plus a lot of weapons and equipment beyond the times. This is a killing machine, cold-blooded, cruel, and emotionless, which drives soldiers to constantly endure negative emotions such as inner fear, anxiety, and mania, and keep instinctively repeating those killing actions, not mental strength, but fear of harsh military laws and conditioned reflexes caused by long-term training.
The Houjin army, whose last bit of courage was defeated, finally heard the most beautiful voice in the world, that is, the order to withdraw the army. No one hesitated, turned around and ran. But the enemy behind them did not intend to let them go, and the six artillery pieces roared again, chasing Houjin's infantry to fight. What's worse is that even if you turn around and run away, you are still within the range of the Minnie rifle.
Bang bang......
Chen Xie, who was standing at the front of the line, raised his saber again at this time and made a forward slashing motion.
"Get on the bayonet! Assault of the whole army! Don't take prisoners! This action was demonstrated by the standard-bearer behind him in the language of the flag, and the officers at all levels, who were highly concentrated, issued the order for the whole army to assault.
"Daming Wansheng! Kill all the slaves! After a neat roar, the whole army began to pursue the rifle with the bayonet on it. The first to start was a scout team of fifty men, followed by a tidal sea of bayonets.
"Won?" The governor of the city was like a big dream and had not woken up, looking at Fang Yushi beside him, this guy was no better, and he was pinching his cheeks vigorously. "Victorious! Win! Yang Guodong is worthy of being a military general, and at this time, he was the first to react, and thousands of soldiers and people in the city shouted together.
"Victorious! Win! After confirming that there was no longer any danger of the city being ruined, the city was full of joy, and for a time it became a sea of joy. Crash, jump, as if they had won this battle.
Looking at these happy soldiers and civilians, calm people can always calm down first. For example, the two bigwigs of the civil service system, when others were still cheering, they regained their composure, looked at each other, and nodded heartily.
Now the question is how to get some benefit from this big win.
The pursuit continued, and the battlefield was full of wolves, and the scout cavalrymen were each armed with a short gun in one hand and a saber in the other. Whoever dares to turn around and resist will be shot at him, and whoever runs away without running past his companions will be stabbed after him.
After giving the order to retreat, Doguna took more than 100 cavalry around him to make a detour to the flank. Chen Xie, who had been paying close attention to the enemy's situation, reacted immediately, and an infantry team that had not been prepared for an attack was brought up, waiting for a possible attack on the flank. At the same time, the horn sounded, and the troops stopped the pursuit. It's not that Chen Xie doesn't want to chase and kill, but he knows that if he chases with two feet, he can't chase anything, and it will destroy the tight formation. It may even be lost due to a counterattack.
Doguna did think of counterattacking, but the enemy on the opposite side was so cunning that he soon stopped the pursuit, and the cavalry stopped, cooperating with an infantry squadron that never acted rashly to keep an eye on the opponent. The rest of the infantry, armed with rifles, mended the swords of the Jiannu who had fallen to the ground and were still dying.
Why not take prisoners? Chen Xie understands this matter in this way, not some nonsense that there is not so much food waste, but a very clear warning to officers at all levels, those robbers who dare to come to the door to rob, there is no better way to atone for their sins than death.
The infantry soldiers who were chased by the Ming army behind their buttocks led the way away, and many of them had no chance to return to their horses. Of the 300 bulls with white flags, plus more than 400 armored minions, and a team of more than 700 people, only 200 people finally escaped from the battlefield. Of course, this is an afterthought, Young Master Chen, Master Chen, and Comrade Divine Doctor Chen are behind a four-wheeled carriage at the moment, holding a basin belonging to Hongguo and vomiting. Damn, it was disgusting to have just stepped on a pile of intestines. When I dissected the human specimen, I didn't feel how disgusting it was, and the strong smell of blood on the battlefield was the reason why it was unbearable.
This carriage is for wounded soldiers, and they usually sit on Hongguo, which will make a group of female soldiers find that the old man is vomiting, of course, they can't be seen, ruining the tall image of the old man. The female soldier with a rifle was sent out more than ten meters away, and no one could go through until the master came out. Subconsciously, these female doctors and nurses have regarded Chen Xie as their master.
Finally finished vomiting, Chen Xie got up from the back of the carriage, and even stood on the carriage, raising his binoculars to observe. Soon Chen Xie noticed a scene, a young soldier, holding a rifle, vomited wildly, stopped after a few spuffs, stabbed to death a struggling Jiannu with a bayonet, and then continued to walk a few steps forward, vomited again, walked again, and stabbed people to death again.
