Chapter 26: The War to Destroy Chu (3)

Perhaps the Chu army will be able to succeed in its charge.

No sleeping army could withstand a prepared night attack, not even the Black Flag Army.

But history has no ifs.

The two waves of explosions gave the Black Flag Guard time to set up their cannons.

Despite this, the Black Flag Guard only had time to fire a round of cannons.

The explosion of the mines woke up all the sleeping Black Flag troops.

The sound of "enemy attack ......" was in the ears.

After a brief moment of panic, the soldier began to wake up.

Under the shouts of the generals of the various departments, the erection of wheel artillery and the assembly of ordnance began.

Torches were lit throughout the camp, lighting up the night sky.

Zhou Xingfeng received a return from the striker at this time.

The Chinese army was immediately ordered to speed up the march and reinforce the front.

And ordered the rear army to follow up.

……。

At this time, the night attack evolved into a field battle, and the field battle under the cover of night turned into a field battle under the firelight.

Nearly 10,000 torches from the Black Flag Army camp illuminated a radius of several miles.

At this time, the two sides met frankly.

Baili Wuji ordered all the soldiers who had completed the arrangement of the wheel cannons, and after a round of fire, the whole army immediately drew their swords and counter-charged.

Ordered the Xiong Jiben beside him to immediately organize the Black Flag Army and organize a second wave of counter-charge.

Xiong Ji originally wanted to open his mouth to persuade Baili Wuji to charge, in case there was a mistake, he could imagine that Yun Yang's butcher's knife was shining towards him, and the entire Black Flag Army would also tear him to pieces. But he had no choice, and under Baili Wuji's almost crazy gaze, he could only obey.

It doesn't matter how many people the order can reach.

In this chaotic moment, command is no longer useful.

The only useful thing was that someone took the lead in the counter-charge, so Baili Wushu didn't care about his wounded body that had not yet healed, and led his own soldiers and the soldiers around him who could hear the order to resolutely launch a counter-charge behind the wheel artillery.

No more cover, no more wheel artillery. There are no more queues, no more formations. You can only rush forward with your eyes closed, meet on a narrow road, and the brave wins.

Afterwards, Baili Wuji recalled the anti-night attack that day and said that it was the first time he had no effective control over the battle situation, and the first time he had no confidence in victory.

In fact, he had no command other than one charge before the cannon was fired. Because it was no longer possible to command, and there was no need to command anymore, the only way out for all the Black Flag Guards was to charge, charge, and rush forward with their lives, or be killed.

But the first and last round of cannon firing clearly tilted the scales of victory in favor of the Black Flag Guard.

Hundreds of cannonballs, firing and exploding in an instant, opened the way for the Black Flag Army's charge to win the most difficult victory, although this victory was so bloody and so sad.

Field battles in the dark are different from daytime.

In the field during the day, the generals of both sides can clearly command their respective armies, and can play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses.

A field battle in the dark, especially a field battle as large-scale as it is now, in which nearly 30,000 men were invested on both sides, and it was probably impossible for anyone to command. Even if the entire battalion of soldiers quietly escaped, it would not be able to control it.

This is how the fierce battle began.

The soldiers of the Black Flag Army joined hand-to-hand combat, unlike the Chu army, which advanced horizontally in rows.

Rather, dozens of them and then hundreds, gradually.

As a result, a triangular formation with a tip was naturally formed, and the tip was composed of Baili Wuji and his own soldiers. In this formation, there is no organization, there is no command, and the comrades-in-arms on the left and right do not know each other, so there is no way to talk about cooperation and cooperation.

The army is a strange group.

It is especially easy to blindly obey, as long as someone charges, those who see it will follow, especially in this situation without command.

The soldiers of the Black Flag Army are now in the blind obedience phase.

One by one, poorly equipped soldiers joined the charge.

If there was no salvo of wheel artillery to suppress the Chu army, the Black Flag Army would have collapsed long ago.

Baili Wuji is working very hard at the front.

If there were no personal guards to protect the flanks, Baili Wuji would have died long ago.

None of the Chu troops who faced the unscrupulous thought that this disheveled person would be the Gyeongju Economic Strategy Envoy and the commander of the Black Flag Army. If any of the Chu Jun knew the Dao, I am afraid that Baili Wuji would have already been chopped into pulp.

But Baili Wuji also had no choice, although the night attack of the Chu army was not successful, it was actually successful.

Anyone who has served in the military knows how long it takes for an army to prepare before it is officially put into battle.

It takes time to put on armor, wear ordnance, organize your troops, understand who and where you are fighting, listen to the purpose of the battle, and so on.

And at this time, the Black Flag Army needed time the most.

An army that has just woken up from sleep is undoubtedly lacking most in time.

Baili Wuji can only lead the team to counter-charge, and only the counter-charge can buy time for the entire Black Flag Army behind.

The surrounding Black Flag soldiers continued to fall, and the guards began to decrease one by one.

Baili Wuji has been flawless, enduring the sharp pain of the wound that was torn again, and waving the war knife numbly, maybe it won't last long.

The soldiers of the Black Flag Army who blindly followed around them began to feel like fighting under the stimulation of the smell of blood.

Right. It's a feeling, like a drunkard smelling the smell of wine wafting from miles away.

When it became clear to the soldiers that the man with his back to them was actually their commander.

The blood began to boil.

Perhaps at that moment, the soul of the Black Flag Army, which had faded after two reorganizations, began to awaken.

There are always people who think that the military spirit is an abstract thing.

But only those who have experienced it can truly know that the Tao is definitely a tangible thing that can be touched.

The essence of this kind of thing is honor.

Honor of the military.

The Black Flag soldiers began to stir.

Start going crazy.

At the moment when a soldier roared and pulled a grenade and pounced on the Chu army.

The soul of the Black Flag Army has been completely awakened.

No shouting, no language.

Silently rush into the enemy group, pull the grenade.

At the entire junction with the Chu army, clusters of fire rose and the crowd disappeared.

The soldiers of the Black Flag Army constantly crossed the sharp tip of Baili Wuji and rushed into the enemy group.

Since you will die, then you will die heroically.

There was only one sentence in the hearts of the soldiers of the Black Flag Army, and there was nothing else in their eyes except a blood-red color.

Baili Wuji has lost his strength, and the large amount of blood lost from the torn wound has made Baili Wuji weak, and his long-term persistence has been relaxed at this moment.

Because he knew that as long as he withstood the initial time, the combat power of the Black Flag Army would become stronger and stronger.

And now, even if the Chu army in front is the army of the whole country, the Black Flag Army will definitely defeat it.

At this time in the battle, the balance of victory had begun to tilt in favor of the Black Flag Army, as the soldiers of the Shu Army said at that time, no soldier of the army could fight against this group of devils, other soldiers fought for victory, and they fought for their lives.
