Chapter 479 [Great Victory]
After solving the threat in the rear, the ferries began to continue to carry the 2,000 soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, and the 300 temporary 'rocketeers' also rejoined the front battle.
Jiao Yang settled down to command the front-line battle, with the close cooperation of musketeers, archers, pitchers and shieldmen, the line of Jinyiwei advanced dozens of meters again, the enemy's forward completely retreated, and the attackers were also blown away, but at this time they encountered really difficult bones, fast light cavalry and archers who shot farther than muskets.
The roar of the grenade had terrified the horses under the crotch of the cavalry, but all this was alleviated after plugging the ears of the horses with cloth balls and blindfolding them with strips of cloth, and after driving away the 'meat goods' and raiders who were blocking the road, the light cavalry of the White Lotus Sect began to rush towards the Jinyi Guard line like a tide, and the archers also advanced in an array, and before they could enter the firing range, they ushered in a rain of arrows.
The range of the Brocade Guard archers is more than fifty meters farther than the enemy! It's a very deadly distance!
All this has been reflected on the river bank just now, but the distance is too far just now, and it is not real, Tao Tianxiong, who personally pressed the formation and appeared in the light cavalry camp, has not discovered this problem until now, since the reform of Jinyiwei began half a year ago, the vast majority of useless people have been eliminated, and the warhead as the main combat force of Jinyiwei has adhered to consistent strict training, Duan Fei has undergone military training in college, although he has not practiced well, but the new training methods and strategies and tactics he understands are not comparable to people in this era, Draw a gourd in the same way to explain the principle, naturally someone will carry it out, Jiao Yang is the best among them, he has won against him several times in a row, including Hua Ming, other brothers, otherwise how could Duan Fei take him out this time?
Not only that, the number of firearms carried by Jinyiwei was also far more than Tao Tianxiong expected, and before setting off, Duan Fei already knew that the epidemic in Shaanxi might be related to the Demon Sect, so how could he not be prepared at all? The long cart escorted by the brocade guards was loaded with more than just medicinal materials, everyone knew that smallpox was curable, and it was better to bring more weapons with a bunch of medicinal herbs, so there were truckloads of bows, arrows, ammunition, baskets of grenades, and 2,000 shields hidden in those dozens of carts, Duan Fei had already planned to fight, how could there be fewer firearms to carry?
The archers of the White Lotus Sect accelerated their pace when they found that the enemy could attack them first, and rushed forward dozens of meters in the rain of arrows, without the protection of the shield hand resulting in heavy casualties, and finally the enemy entered their own range, and they began to counterattack, but the few arrows at first did not cause damage to the Jinyi Guard, because the Jinyi Guard was protected by a shield player.
The musketeers in the first row quickly retreated after firing a row of bullets, and quickly turned into shields or pitchers, and the White Lotus cavalry who rushed to the front was beaten to the ground, but more cavalry continued to rush forward, and in a blink of an eye they entered the range of the pitchers.
A row of grenades was thrown out, and dozens of cavalry were smashed in an instant, and a huge explosion occurred nearby, and those horses didn't work even if they plugged their ears with cloths, and they began to jump and scurry, causing chaos in the White Lotus Sect's cavalry camp.
Jiao Yang saw that the opponent's momentum was too fast, and began to order his subordinates to retreat in turn, grabbing dozens of meters ahead just now, and now it is just as a buffer.
The opposing archers finally unleashed their might, and with the advantage of being much outnumbered by the Jinyi archers, they quickly gained the upper hand.
Jiao Yang frowned, flew to his side at this time, and said: "Jiao Yang, ask the brothers to tie grenades to the arrows, if you knew that it was so easy to use, you should have tied one to all the arrows in advance." ”
Jiao Yang hesitated: "It's only tied now, is it too late?" ”
Duan Fei said: "It's still too late, I'll buy you some time, and you let them retreat a little further in the next round." ”
Jiao Yang nodded, passed the order down, Duan Fei also issued an order, and then asked Guo Wei to ignite the grenade on his arrow, and only shot it out after seeing the right time, and an arrow shot far into the enemy's archer formation, and exploded in the air, killing several people, and incalculable injuries.
The next arrow flew to the head of the opponent's cavalry, and blew up a few cavalry, slightly delaying the enemy's offensive, but the enemy rushed over at the risk of death, compared to thousands of enemy troops, a few grenades could not reverse anything, in the blink of an eye, the enemy's cavalry had rushed to a place less than twenty meters away from the front line of Jinyiwei, and another batch of grenades were thrown, exploding the enemy's flesh and blood at the same time, the red-eyed enemy had also rushed to within a few meters of Jinyiwei without any buffer, as long as the cavalry rushed into the formation, what muskets, bows and arrows, Even the grenades will be useless anymore, under the real slashing and slashing, no matter how well-trained the Jinyi Guard is, three thousand people will definitely not be able to withstand the siege of tens of thousands of people on the other side!
At this critical juncture, continuous gunfire suddenly rang out on the left and right sides of the battlefield...... The knights who rushed to the front of the Jinyi guard fell off their horses one after another, and the cavalry that was attacked from three sides was suddenly in a mess, and the more than 500 soldiers of the Shenji Battalion who had just crossed Jingshui had been divided into two teams and thrown into the battlefield, like a vice, from both wings, relieving the urgent need in the front.
The relieved Jinyi Wei threw another round of grenades, and the archers also tied up their grenades, and fired the grenades into the distance with bows and arrows, striking at the enemy's depths, the enemy's archers and cavalry were dealt a terrible blow, and the indomitable momentum was completely dispersed by the air raid bombs that could explode on the head at any time, and the horses were even more unbearable, and the cavalry's charging formation almost collapsed, and the losses were even heavier.
The Great Dharma Protector of Heaven admonished with blood in his heart: "Sect Master! The enemy's firearms are so fierce that there is no end to them, and we can't stop them from crossing the river at all, and the enemy is fighting more and more, so let's retreat for the time being, and go back to Pingliang first and then make another plan, otherwise the foundation of decades will be ruined! ”
Seeing that his elite had lost nearly one-third and could not rush in front of the enemy, but the formation was in chaos, and he was afraid that it would not be enough to fill it all in if he continued to fight, Tao Tianxiong felt a strong sense of frustration in his heart, he gritted his teeth sharply, and finally ordered: "The whole army retreats!" ”
'Dangdang ......' The sound of the broken gong sounded in the back, and the White Lotus Sect members, who had already been frightened, turned around and ran away as if they were in amnesty.
The Jinyi guards cheered in unison, and Jiao Yang hurriedly asked when he saw this, "My lord, what should I do now?" ”
Since ancient times, there has been a saying that the poor Kou Mo chases, but it also depends on the situation, Duan Fei observed, and saw that the enemy fled and lost his armor and his banner was crooked, it was a mess, and in that narrow mountain pass, it was simply a man trampling on people and horses stepping on people, which was different from luring the enemy to go deeper, even if Sun Wu was possessed, there was no way to regain control of the troops, obviously the enemy was really retreating, Duan Fei said categorically: "The Demon Sect must be wiped out!" The order was to pursue, but the formation must be maintained, and the Shenji battalion stayed behind to take care of those who had not yet crossed the river. ”
Jiao Yang nodded, and quickly issued an order, everyone pressed the ecstasy, shouted and rushed forward, scrambling, what formation was chaotic after rushing for dozens of meters.
"Damn it!" Duan Fei found that the more than 500 people from the Shenji Battalion rushed to the front and it was with them as an example that the Jinyi Guards were in chaos, he scolded secretly, and immediately flew forward, stopped hundreds of Jinyi Guards, and shouted: "You stay with this official, there must be no mistake!" ”
Those brocade guards were already as respectful of Duan Fei as ghosts and gods, and even if they were unhappy when they heard the order, they had to stop.
I saw that the mixed team of the Shenji Battalion and the Jinyi Guard quickly caught up with the enemy's tail wing, the bang sounded again, and there was a roar explosion from time to time, and the defeated White Lotus Sect only hated that his father and mother had two legs missing, and they threw away their armor and fled all over the mountains, and they didn't even dare to turn their heads, and when there was a slight movement behind them, they thought that the chasing soldiers were coming, and the so-called "grass and trees are soldiers", and "the wind and cranes" were nothing more than that......
