Chapter 139: Defeat is like a mountain
This tactic of combining infantry and artillery, or the first time that the Yu family army was shown in front of the rebels and friendly forces in a complete version, when they saw the artillery of the Yu family army, pushing those artillery, moving forward, many people were surprised enough, these cannons in their opinion, should be very clumsy, under normal circumstances, must be placed in advance, to a lot of people to serve, with the army to advance, in addition to the tiger squat cannon those small cannons, such a cannon is not daring to think.
But take a closer look, it seems that it is not difficult for the gunners of the Yu family army to push these cannons, and the operation is also very simple, the mules and horses drag the front car to lead them, turn the cannons around and hang them on the front car, and they can immediately advance with the army, and the action is extremely simple, which makes many people surprised.
When can the cannon be made so light, just go, stop when you say, and hit when you say it, this Yu Xiaotian really doesn't know where to invite the masters, and make such a light and sharp cannon for them, if you push it up and point at the rebel's nose and fire, the rebel army will be happy.
The artillery battle of the two sides of the rebels failed, under the heavy losses, they could only give up the artillery battle, follow the whole army to press, ready to fight to the death with the officers and soldiers, but when the distance between the two sides was just shortened to within 400 steps, the artillery of the Yu family army quickly took off the cannon, almost a moment, the cannon was arranged in front of the formation, the mule and horse were quickly taken away, the artillery from the front car, quickly took out the ammunition, began to load.
After a while, the cannon of the Yu family army rang out again, and the solid bullets whistled out, directly smashing into the rebel array, and after twenty or thirty shells landed in turn, when even in the rebel array, a bloody alley was opened, and the rebels cried and cried for their mother.
Kong Youde was frightened, so he had to order the rebels to evacuate a little to minimize the damage from the artillery bombardment, and the whole army continued to accelerate towards the official front.
However, as the rebels continued to move forward, the artillery of the Yu family army was replaced with more ferocious grapeshits, and as soon as the chaotic artillery passed, the rebels immediately suffered heavy casualties, and pieces were bombarded into minced meat, and the scene can be said to be extremely miserable.
The rebels are so aggrieved! When they met the Yu family's army, they could only be beaten, seeing that the Yu family's army's artillery array was in front of them, and the muzzle of the cannon slowly pointed at them, but they had no way to escape, so they could only stare and wait to be bombed into scum.
Before the two sides fought, the rebels killed and wounded a lot of people and horses, and the formation was scattered by the bombardment, Kong Youde felt that things were not good, but at this time the retreat was a failure, once he ordered the retreat, the enemy would immediately pursue, and his retreat could turn into a rout at any time, so he could only grit his teeth and insist, as long as he could break up the officers and troops outside the Yu family's army, he would not necessarily be defeated.
From a bird's-eye view from above, the scene of the battlefield was magnificent, and the officers and soldiers continued to rise up clouds of gunsmoke, splashing countless shells into the rebel formation, and the rebel formation kept flying up streams of blood mist, and many people's lives were harvested by these cannons at any time.
And the two armies covered the battlefield with black pressure, like two black and red tides, surging towards each other, and then a neat soldier and horse in the center stopped, and began to spit out gunsmoke and flames non-stop, and the standard platoon gun shooting tactics of the Yu family army appeared again, and rows of musketeers rushed forward, constantly shooting at the rebels.
This tactic of shooting in the middle of the march does not require the musketeers to shoot and then turn back to the rear of the formation to reload, they shoot and stop on the spot, let the rear musketeers get ahead of them, and they begin to reload on the spot, and after the first few rows of musketeers have finished shooting, they go to the front again, like wheels, moving forward and approaching the enemy line.
The rebels who were facing the Yu family army were unlucky, they were shot in rows and rows, and they fell down in front of the battle like mowing grass, and looking down from above, you can see that the rebels are facing this part of the queue of the family army, gradually sinking down, and the corpses of the rebels are covered in front of the front of the Yu family army.
The two torrents finally collided together, and when the last twenty or thirty meters, the generals on both sides let out a beast-like scream in unison, and then began to run forward with their feet, and finally hit each other heavily, and at the place of the instant handover, a large area of blood mist was raised, and countless lives were harvested by the swords and guns in the hands of the enemy almost instantly.
This time, the morale of the officers and soldiers has also become much higher before the superior firepower of the Yu family army, and they have a sense of superiority when they fight with the Yu family army, which makes their low morale improve a lot, and the generals also know that if they don't work hard today, I am afraid that they will not have the opportunity to work hard in the future.
Later, Zhu Dadian personally supervised the battle, and sent five hundred swords and axes to supervise the battle in the rear, and ordered anyone who dared to retreat without authorization before setting off, immediately beheaded him in front of the battle, no matter what kind of officer and army, if the whole army was defeated, he would behead the main general on the spot.
This time Zhu Dadian was ruthless, they couldn't help but slip in front of the battle again, and when they saw that the situation was not good, they immediately smeared oil on the soles of their feet, not to mention that today there is Yu Jiajun as their backbone, and they have also seen the strength of Yu Jiajun, and there is a great certainty that this battle can be won.
So this time, the officers and soldiers of all walks of life actually showed considerable fighting intentions, and crashed headlong into the enemy array without showing weakness, and the two sides immediately launched a battle to the death.
The cruelty of war was vividly expressed at this moment, and countless officers and rebels were turned into corpses or wounded on the battlefield in a very short period of time.
The knives and guns kept dancing, piercing or slashing into the enemy's body, bringing out streams of blood, screams and angry scolding resounded over the battlefield, and the unique platoon of guns fired by the Yu family's army, which never stopped.
The first thing that could not bear it was that the rebels faced the group of men and horses in the formation of the Yu army, in the face of the superior firepower of the family army, they were beaten without the ability to parry, let alone fight back, several charges were repelled by the platoon gun, and they did not even touch the side of the Yu army, but only increased a lot of casualties.
The rebel army soon began to collapse, and a large number of rebels who were lucky enough not to be shot began to turn around, turn around and run, and a large gap suddenly appeared in the rebel array.
After only more than an hour of fierce fighting, the rebels were completely defeated, and the soldiers and horses in the middle had been defeated, and the morale of the entire rebel army fell to the crotch of their pants in an instant.
Fear is something that can spread quickly and be contagious, and seeing their own people fleeing around them, the rest of the people immediately began to panic, no matter how the rebels suppressed and killed, and gradually they could not control the situation, so after a while, the entire rebel army began to retreat en masse.
The officers and soldiers had never fought so happily this time, and seeing that the rebels were crushed by them and retreated, several officers and soldiers let out a shout and began to pursue the rebels.
Even the Yu family's army, seeing that the defeat of the rebels was a foregone conclusion, also ordered to stop shooting, and all the musketeers had bayonets in their hands, directly launched the pig assault tactic, switched to a white-knuckle charge, and began to roar and pursue the enemy.
Kong Youde was in the Chinese army formation, seeing that his soldiers and horses could not defeat the official army, but were defeated by the official army, and wanted to contain this rout, but he was already powerless, and seeing that a large number of rebels were routed, even the Chinese army where he was located was about to collapse, so he could only reluctantly order the troops to be withdrawn.
It is said that it is to collect troops, in fact, it is impossible at this time, the official army today is a posture of fighting to the death, once the rebels are repulsed, the whole army will be pressed, the rebels are pursued, leaving no respite and regrouping for the rebels, the soldiers on both sides have never separated from the tail of the soldiers, and the rebels who fled slowly have all been stabbed in the back or poked by spears, and fell to the ground.
Listening to the dying screams of their own people behind them, the rebel generals were even more panicked and accelerated to flee frantically, so that later it evolved into some cavalry in order to escape for their lives, seeing that there were people on their side blocking the way, in order to open up the passage for escape, they actually raised butcher knives for their own people.
The entire rebel army was defeated in the first battle, and from the initial rout of the front army, it spread to all the horses, and they all joined the ranks of the rout.
The camp will definitely not be able to go back, and it will not be able to close the camp door when it goes back, and it will definitely be chased into the camp by the Yu family army or other officers and ranks, and then the camp will not be a place to save their lives, but will become a place to close the door and beat dogs, so even if some rebels choose to abandon the camp and flee, they will not even return to the camp, and will flee directly in the direction of Dengzhou.
Kong Youde is so angry! But there was no way to be angry, he had completely lost the ability to control the rebels under him, and seeing that the army was defeated like a mountain, there was no possibility of recovery, so he had to choose to abandon the camp, take the closest elite soldiers and horses, and roll away in the direction of Dengzhou.
The official army was headed by the Yu family army, the cavalry was in front, the infantry was in the back, and the tail was chasing and killing the rebels, many rebels saw that the general trend had gone, and they couldn't escape, and they ran out of breath, and they seemed to be in danger of dying if they couldn't catch their breath at any time, so they simply lost the guy, lay on the ground and pretended to be dead, or simply knelt on the ground and surrendered, in order to save their lives.
Yu Xiaotian no longer personally led the troops to pursue at this time, handed over the command to Meng Fei, and ordered him to lead the troops to continue the pursuit, while he himself led the guards company and a battalion of infantry, beckoned the artillery battalion behind, dragged the cannon straight to the rebel camp, and ran to pick the fruits of victory first.
The main generals of the other groups of men and horses were in a state of excitement at this time, and they began to busily beckon their subordinates to pursue the rebels, striving to cut off more rebel heads and decorate their military achievements, but when they saw Yu Xiaotian break away from the pursuit queue and lead a team of men and horses to the rebel camp, these people also immediately came back to their senses, hurriedly greeted their subordinates, and turned to attack the rebel camp as well.
But Yu Xiaotian was faster after all, he blocked the gate of the rebel camp first, leaving no passage for other officers and soldiers, and scattered the remaining rebels who were blocked in the gate with a row of guns, and led the army to immediately rush into the rebel camp.
(Keep asking for a monthly pass!) This month, we will strive to break through the previous results! It's all up to the brothers! )
