Chapter 249: The Chinese Army is Defeated
"How did the officers and soldiers enter the city? Which door is wrong, go check it out for me! Also, what about King Chuang, who of you knows where King Chuang has gone? Hurry up and get it back for me! It's all on fire......"
When Zhang Shi launched an attack on the Chinese army, his status in the army rose rapidly, and Liu Wenqi, who was already ranked number two, was in the Chinese army, so he quickly replaced Liu Guoneng, who was not in the camp, to take over the command. At the same time, people all over the world were sent to find Liu Guoneng, but they found nothing.
The rumbling sound of the cannon was endless, Liu Wenqi was extremely angry in his heart, this group of fools who had not done enough to do more than anything to lose, even the cannon was put in, could it be that the city gate was lost, so that the officers and soldiers walked in with a swagger with the cannon?
After being angry, Liu Wenqi quickly calmed down, and immediately sent scouts to each gate to check which gate was lost, and at the same time sent people to the four major military camps outside the city with urgent orders, ordering them to strictly guard on the spot and not to move blindly.
At this moment, Liu Wenqi is still confident, with the strength of the city can calm the chaos, in his opinion, the Taiyuan City, the defense is tight, the city is high and deep, even if people take advantage of the loopholes, they may not be able to achieve the climate, as long as they miss a blow and lose the advantage of sneak attack, then the chaos in front of them can be easily solved.
It's just that the most fatal problem at present is that Liu Guoneng, the king of Chuang, who is the lord, does not know what to do, and this king loves to engage in that set of micro-service private visits, you must know that the son of the daughter does not sit down, and the success or failure of the army is a matter of success, and the white dragon fish suit is not only irresponsible to himself, but also irresponsible to the overall situation. Liu Wenqi has been persuaded more than once before, but King Chuang is so willful at this point, just leave, and now except for the problem, no one in the city is in charge of the overall situation, and all the generals are blind.
Fortunately, there is still him here, Liu Wenqi temporarily presiding over the overall situation, otherwise it is really unknown how successful or unsuccessful it will be.
"Let's go! Go and watch the battle in front of the battle! ”
After assigning all the tasks, Liu Wenqi decided to personally go to Yuanmen to supervise the battle, and ending the battle a moment earlier would minimize the chaotic impact caused by this incident. But when he came to the front of the formation, he was shocked by the sight and didn't say anything for a long time.
The whole air was filled with strong gunsmoke, the smell of sulfur and then filled the nostrils, hundreds of corpses outside the gate fell to the ground, and a deputy general was about to personally lead people to charge, Liu Wenqi hurriedly stopped the almost suicidal action. It was obvious that the officers and soldiers outside had used a large number of firearms, and it was courageous to charge in the face of a hail of bullets, but it was the most stupid tactic.
Liu Wenqi had carefully studied the tactics of the officers and soldiers in fighting the platoon guns, and their front was the most powerful firepower, while the flanks and rear were the biggest weaknesses. He then ordered the lieutenant general to take his men out of the camp from other gates, and to make a detour to the rear of the officers and troops to launch a surprise attack. At the same time, it also ordered some people to continue to feint in order to achieve the purpose of attracting the firepower and attention of the officers and soldiers.
……
The offensive of the thieves gradually weakened, Zhang Shi immediately blew the whistle in his mouth, the grenadier battalion moved forward, the sound of cowhide boots neatly stepping on the ground was shocking, and the slogans of one, two, three, four continued to echo in the night sky. The distance between them and the camp of the thieves in the army is gradually narrowing. The four guns kept firing a salvo, and the thieves were suppressed and simply closed the door.
One hundred steps, eighty steps, sixty steps, forty steps, twenty steps, ten steps, Zhang Shi finally gave the order to stop advancing.
A few feathered arrows were shot indiscriminately in the camp of the thieves, which could not stop the pace of the attack of the Three Guards.
"Listen to the order, prepare to drop the bomb!"
The whistler beside Zhang Shi blew a unique simple rhythm with the flute in his mouth, and the grenadiers untied the flowering thunder on their waists one after another and opened the insurance.
"Ready, put!"
Suddenly, hundreds of flowering thunderbolts dragged a string of spark tails to draw elegant arcs in the night sky and fell into the thieves. After the explosion of the flowering thunder, a large number of flowering thunder fragments were scattered and splashed, and the thieves in the camp suffered heavy losses. They were stunned by this unprecedented terrifying weapon, including Liu Wenqi, who lost his body for a moment.
I only heard Zhang Shi shout again, "Prepare to drop the bomb!" ”
After a moment's pause, he continued his order.
"Ready, put!"
This time, the thieves learned to be obedient, far away from the wall, how far away to hide, so this time the explosion was not only terrifying, but there were few killed and injured thieves, only a few extremely unlucky thieves were injured by a few pieces of shrapnel with extremely tricky angles.
Zhang Shi was about to order the grenadier battalion to continue to advance, when the scout suddenly came to report.
"Report, the thieves have returned to the flank of our army!"
This was also in his calculations, but he didn't expect the thieves to move so quickly, and it seems that the thieves are not all stupid.
"Order the second battalion to change formations and defend on the spot!"
Zhang Shi completely handed over the back of the grenadier battalion to the second battalion, and he was ready to take advantage of the victory to attack the thief camp in one fell swoop, not to mention that he only had less than 700 people, but he dared to break into the barracks with tens of thousands of people.
Because of the fear of the flowering bullets of the Three Guards, most of the thieves avoided the wall of the wall between the logs, and the distance of ten steps fell in an instant.
This time, even Liu Wenqi didn't know how to deal with it, he was good at strategy, not the art of charging in battle. The general in charge of guarding the camp was still very responsible, and scolded loudly: "Are you all fucking born by a little lady, there are many of us, and we are afraid of hundreds of him?" They all rushed forward with Lao Tzu, and one person drowned them with a mouthful of spit! ”
Thieves ravaged the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, and they have always filled people's lives, and they have eaten all over the world with one trick.
"That's right, one person foamed at the mouthful and drowned those dog-day officers and soldiers!"
"Rush!"
The originally timid thief soldiers suddenly seemed to be possessed by a wild wolf, shouting and screaming and rushing towards the officials and soldiers who were in the gap in the wall.
Zhang Shishi's face did not change at all, and he calmly ordered.
"Prepare to drop the bomb!"
"Ready, put!"
This kind of established command, each short sentence corresponds to an action, and the third round of flowering thunder smashed out, fell in the dense thief soldiers, and immediately fell like a leek, and a large piece fell.
The momentum of the thief's charge suddenly stagnated, and the deputy general who rushed to the top was covered in blood and was not killed, and he raised his arms and roared: "It's all fucking with me, fighting with the officers and soldiers!"
This Chinese army battalion is Liu Guoneng's old brother who has been fighting for many years, and the battle is also extremely brave, the deputy general is red-eyed, and the ordinary thieves and soldiers once again rushed over with vigor.
Each grenadier could only carry a maximum of six flowering bombs because he had to carry muskets, ammunition and standard goose feather knives, and once he threw it, he would miss one time, and there were many thieves, and the remaining three were a drop in the bucket, but Zhang Shi's face still did not change, and he ordered to drop bombs twice in succession.
The barracks were relatively narrow, and thousands of thieves could only charge in a relatively narrow line, which was equivalent to being blocked at the door and beaten violently, and the three rounds of dense flowering bombs caused great casualties and deterrence to the swarming thieves, and it was almost impossible to move an inch between twenty and ten paces from the Three Guards.
"Musket ready!"
The last of the blossoming mines could not be used in this way, Zhang Shi ordered the use of muskets, which were already loaded at the beginning of the battle, and the grenadiers took their muskets from their backs and raised their guns to aim. These grenadiers were selected from the best musketeers, and they were more proficient in muskets than with flowering bullets.
From aiming to shooting, all in one go. Suddenly, the entire battlefield was shrouded in gunsmoke, and it was impossible to see anything ten steps away, and it was impossible to observe the casualties of the thieves. At this point, all but the last flowering bomb has been used by the grenadiers.
The time it took him to reload the musket was not enough to stop the attack of the thieves, and there were only two ways in front of Zhang Shi, either to retreat after throwing the last flowering bullet, or to raise the Yanling knife and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the thieves.
At this time, the earth-shattering shouts and deafening gunfire also sounded in the rear, and Zhang Shi knew that the second battalion and the sneak attack thieves had also exchanged fire. He suddenly remembered the four cannons, Heisenberg always put the artillery at the forefront of the army in every big battle, he no longer cared about the battle between the grenadiers and the artillery, and now these four cannons could still play a round of firepower advantage.
Taking advantage of the pervasive gunsmoke, Zhang Shi decisively ordered to turn back and run! The grenadiers retreated twenty paces to the wall before they stopped, turned, cleared their breeches, and loaded their ammunition. Four cannons were pushed to the front, aiming straight at the gap in the wall.
"Fire!"
Zhang Shi did not hesitate for a moment, although he couldn't see whether the thieves rushed out, he believed that the four artillery shots would definitely take away a large number of thieves. Sure enough, after the first shot, there was a heart-rending scream from the thick gunsmoke. At the same time, the thieves also rushed out of the smoke of gunpowder, like a wounded beast, roaring angrily, and headed straight for the Three Guards.
Just as the muskets were loaded, another salvo went out, at a distance of less than twenty paces, hundreds of muskets were fired in a volley, the power was very terrifying, when the thieves rushed out of the wall, the battle line was narrow, and the result was hit by a dense projectile, and the lieutenant who led the charge was killed on the spot. Their morale was on the verge of collapse, and the death of the lieutenant became the last straw that crushed the camel's back, and the fear that had been suppressed for too long was fully released, and the thieves who rushed out of the camp did not kill the Three Guards, but directly broke up on both sides, and fled for their lives, so as to avoid the terrifying fire.
No matter how Liu Wenqi restrains him, the chaos of the thieves has become a success, except for a few guards who broke into the king's personal guards, the vast majority of them are chaotic, he can't understand why they are so powerful and defeated in such a daze.
In fact, it is not to blame that the combat effectiveness of the thieves is low, but that the grenadier battalion occupies a geographical advantage, and if the thief soldiers can spread out a wide enough front, the number of troops that can be put into battle on the front line will be greatly increased, and the combat effectiveness will also be greatly enhanced, while the grenadier battalion is limited in number and the battle line is relatively narrow, and it will inevitably fall behind.
Hypothesis is hypothetical after all, Liu Guoneng China's army collapsed irrepressibly, Liu Wen saw that the general trend had gone, mixed in the chaos of the army, and took the few soldiers who could still assemble into a team to go to the east city gate.
