Sixty-two-two: Almost
Xiao Lang looked at the number of remnant cavalry, and then looked at the number of his own side, and suddenly there was a joy - after converging the last platoon brought by Chen Jun, he almost had a full company on hand, and the other party only had less than a hundred cavalry left, and at the moment the number is our advantage! As for the that a group of cavalry can deal with several times as many infantry...... Now it's just to tell the Houjin soldiers, do they still dare to believe it?
"Blow the trumpet! Offensive! ”
"Advance the whole army!"
The order for the general attack was given to the whole army, and when the passionate charge horn sounded, not only the company led by Xiao Lang himself, but also the two companies on the Houjin infantry defense line jumped up from the defense line and launched an active attack on the enemy troops who were about to rush in front of them. Compared to the chaos on Xiao Lang's side, the two companies had been fighting with a clear eye and strictly following the rules of combat discipline - including the attack at this moment: rushing forward first to clear the way with a grenade, then knocking down all those who could still stand near the explosion range, and then advancing unhurriedly for a while, and then repeating the process.
Later generations, when evaluating those armies that had just entered the era of firearms warfare and were not very elite, often described them as follows: they could still maintain formation and discipline when firing muskets, but once they encountered a white-knuckle assault, they would immediately collapse. This is actually not surprising - it is easier to get noticed by the bullets when they are flying around, and it is better to be with the brigade. And once you encounter an enemy face to face, it is human instinct to turn around and run, not to mention that as long as you run faster than your companions, you may be able to save your life.
At this time, the same is true of the Houjin Army Infantry Brigade, which was still persisting under the baptism of bullets and rain in the Qiong Navy, and could even move forward, but now it was suddenly blown up by a grenade, and saw that the opposite side actually took the initiative to rush up. Suddenly they forgot that they had been so desperate before that they wanted to face their opponents, and they scattered in all directions, like a swarm of ants that had been doused with boiling water, running away at a speed that was even more unattainable than when they attacked just now.
The remnants of the cavalry opposite Xiao Lang finally gave up their last reserves, and without hesitation, they turned their horses and began to flee, even though they were still within range of their rifles at the moment, and were knocked down one or two from time to time. There is no retrospective meaning at all.
The battle is now settled.
In this world, there will never be a shortage of people who are icing on the cake - until this moment, the north gate of Lushun, which had been closed before, suddenly opened, and the defenders of Dongjiang Town stationed inside rushed out with cheers and slaughtered the Houjin rout army with a fearless momentum. They had apparently been recuperating for a long time, and they were running extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye they had overtaken the cautious Qiong Navy soldiers and rushed to the forefront of the battle line.
"It seems that Shang Keyi is the one who takes the lead...... Grandma's, these sluts. There are thousands of them, and they won't come out until this time. ”
Chen Jun couldn't help but scolded angrily, but Xiao Lang heaved nonchalantly and shook his head:
"Forget it, I didn't have any expectations for their combat effectiveness, so I warned Huang Long a long time ago: don't come out even if we are defeated-if we come out rashly and be beaten by the other party, maybe we will be disrupted in turn...... The Ming Dynasty army's ability to harm teammates is definitely first-class. ”
Chen Jun thought about it. looked at the group of Dongjiang troops who were not much better than Hanako, and nodded in agreement:
"Also, the previous battle was really dangerous. If you add this group of pig teammates with negative combat power, you really can't tell who loses and who wins. ”
At this time, the group of cavalry opposite them had already run away, and the two legs on this side could not match the other party's four legs after all, but Xiao Lang still led the team to pursue unhurriedly - at least the other party had no time to regroup.
Chen Jun was still chattering beside him:
"This battle is really dangerous, doesn't it mean that the army of this era generally collapses as long as it takes more than a quarter of the casualties? Why did we almost kill them all before we remembered to run away? ”
"Maybe they didn't have time to think of running away."
Xiao Lang responded with some absent-mindedness, his gaze kept wandering the ground, as if he was looking for something. After a while, I finally found my target and walked over with a cheer.
-- The commander of the Houjin Army, who had been gesturing to cut off his head, was lying there, shot in the ribs, but not dead for a while. is snoring and wheezing desperately. Seeing someone coming, he also tried to move his arm as if he wanted to ask for help, but after recognizing the green uniform of the Joan Navy, he immediately lost hope. Just stared at Xiao Lang with a pair of dead fish-like eyes—he might have recognized people too.
Chen Jun didn't know that the two of them had clashed with each other in the sight before, and when he saw that the clothes and armor of the Jin generals were quite luxurious, he thought that he should be an important person, so he asked:
"Do you want to save him? This is also our prisoner of war. ”
"Ambulance? No, it's not necessary. ”
Xiao Lang smirked, shoved the muzzle of the rifle in his hand into the guy's mouth that was wide open due to gasp, and slowly put his fingers on the trigger.
"I'm a man who walks the talk."
Chen Jun frowned, but he didn't say anything, just took two steps back, so as not to splash blood and brains on himself. At this time, General Jin finally panicked, and let out a ho-ho sound from his throat, I don't know if he was begging for mercy or trying to threaten, but no matter what it was, it no longer made sense.
Xiao Lang didn't shoot immediately, but lowered his head, looked at the standard Tungusic flat face that had been twisted out of fear, and sneered:
"Whether you're called Derge or Yueto, I admire you. Really, you are still the first one who can force our Qiong Navy to this one. While that was mostly due to my own carelessness, you did come close to winning the battle. ”
“…… Almost! ”
While saying the word again, Xiao Lang pulled the trigger.
After pursuing for a distance, estimating that it was impossible for the opponent to regroup, Xiao Lang ordered to collect his troops and return to the camp.
At this time, the Dongjiang army that was originally hiding in the northern city of Lushun had all escaped, and Shang Keyi brought a group of elite soldiers who were still pursuing those fleeing Houjin soldiers - he sent someone to contact Xiao Lang, saying that he wanted to take down the camp of the Houjin army by taking advantage of the situation, and there were a lot of supplies in it! hoped that the friendly army in Qiongzhen could make persistent efforts to help to the end, but Xiao Lang ignored him.
While the rest of the people were busy cleaning up the battlefield. After collecting the weapons that the Golden Soldiers had dropped, they stripped the armor and clothes from the corpses and the wounded...... and cutting off their heads. Many of them were not dead, and for a while, the screams on the battlefield were overwhelming, even louder than during the fierce battle just now. If it had been before, the Qiong Navy would definitely have stopped this kind of behavior, but this time Xiao Lang ordered not to pay attention to it.
When he returned to the vicinity of Lushun North City, Huang Long personally brought people to greet him. Far away, he expressed his gratitude and admiration for the friendly troops in Qiongzhen in an extremely exaggerated manner. At the same time, he said that the celebration banquet had been set up in the city, and asked Xiao Junmen to give face no matter how and participate in the banquet.
In fact, Xiao Lang was not in a good mood at the moment, although he won this battle, it was too difficult to win, and the losses of the troops were really greater than the previous ones. Even he himself was forced to consider the possibility of sacrifice - he had just killed the leader of the Houjin army, and there was some annoyance and anger in it.
It is entirely conceivable that when a detailed report of the battle is transmitted to the South - this is a necessity. From the first three company commanders to himself, he had to write reports, and Qiong's combat drill relied on these combat reports to adjust what kind of sarcasm and attacks he would receive.
Even Xiao Lang himself could feel that this time he was a little reluctant to win, he had too many places to be attacked and spit out from pre-war decision-making to specific actual combat, and the group of idle guys in the rear would definitely laugh at this. Even if this was the first time he had led a real battle, even if it was the first time that the Qiong navy had fought against the Later Jin military forces, even if he himself had shown bravery and victory in battle, it was useless. The gang in the rear will surely hold on to every little mistake he makes.
Why is he so sure? -- Because he himself laughed at Pang Yu and the others in the rear at the beginning.
However, for Huang Long, he still had to deal with it, after all, he still needed the assistance of this Dongjiang Town general soldier in the next affairs of the migrating population. The war has already been fought. Doing the follow-up things more beautifully can also make the gang in the rear less weird.
With such an idea, Xiao Lang patiently listened to the Huanglong's chattering and boasting, and from time to time followed the other party's words perfunctory words - anyway, the strength is out, and it is not a big deal to accompany a few good words. He didn't dismiss the two hundred and five, and went all the way to help people quell the rebellion, but he said to people that "the soldiers and horses of Qiongzhen are not under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty" - to tell the truth, he didn't say that, but he didn't do well, and he heard that he also attracted countless impeachments, which made the old man in Beijing very wolf.
As one of the leaders of the Technic group. Although Xiao Lang has a bad temper, he still has the ability to deal with foreign affairs. Even if his attitude is still too arrogant in the eyes of the other party, but since he has such a strong army. has just played such a fierce record, and he does have the capital to be proud.
While he was talking to Huang Long, Xiao Lang suddenly noticed that there were a few people on the other side who were not quite right—Huang Long himself did not have a weapon in his hand, but it was not unusual for him to have a few heavily armed people next to him. It's just that now, a few guys sneak up on and have a winding crossbow in their hands, so that's not normal!
"You ......!"
Before Xiao Lang could warn him, those people had already leveled the crossbow machine and pulled the hanging knife head-on at him! The two sides were only more than ten steps apart at the moment, and Xiao Lang only had time to raise his arms to protect the door.
There was a sharp pain in his arm, and a crossbow arrow flew in front of him and shot him in the arm. He was hit in the chest again, but he was shot by another crossbow arrow, but it didn't penetrate the body - Xiao Lang was wearing a homemade bulletproof vest, and the thin steel sheet in the pocket of his waistcoat blocked the fatal blow. But the third bolt that followed was a shot at his unprotected lower abdomen, which was also extremely fatal!
There was no more fourth arrow, on the one hand, his guards were already in front of him. On the other hand, in Xiao Lang's rapidly dimming vision, he also saw that the assassins had been shot down by the guards beside him. The flying bullets even accidentally injured many people next to them, but those Ming soldiers just screamed in horror and ran away, with no intention of returning fire at all.
And before finally passing out, Xiao Lang only heard Huang Long shouting in panic:
"It has nothing to do with me! I don't really know ......."
Then came darkness. O
