Chapter 116: Turning Back Before the Battle
One after another, the smoking grenades fell to the side, under the feet, or on the blocking cart, some of the bullets rolled to the ground, and some directly hit the face of the unlucky man, and suddenly blood burst out.
"Mom...... Run......"
The cannon fodder of the Jin Army has learned the power of grenades, which is simply as powerful as a cannon, and it is smashed down so much at once, which is equivalent to dozens of cannons under the feet of the ground, not to mention the human body, even the steel has been blown into pieces, one by one frightened, let out a frightened scream, throw away the weapon shield in his hand, use all his strength, and run backwards.
At this time, the whole team was in the momentum of charging, the people in front turned around and fled, and the people behind rushed forward, huddled together.
"What's going on?" The man who charged forward behind hissed angrily.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, get out of the way......"
The people who turned around and fled back in front were extremely demoralized and shouted, desperately trying to push away their companions who were in the way, but more and more people came from behind, and they became more and more crowded, and they were all crowded together.
Boom Boom Boom –
The long wooden handle grenades exploded one after another, blowing up clouds of fire and gunsmoke, accompanied by the stump and flesh flying, the miserable screams were endless, pieces of Jin Army cannon fodder fell, and the dense crowd that was originally huddled together instantly vacated a large area, except for the corpses in different forms on the ground, most of them were wounded soldiers who were struggling and howling, and the heart-rending cries made the remnants panic in their hearts, and fear arose.
Another wave of grenades smashed, followed by an earth-shattering explosion, the fire and the rolling thick enveloped the entire battlefield, and when most of the smoke dissipated, none of the cannon fodder of the Jin army at the forefront could stand, all lying in a pool of blood convulsions and howling.
"The bombardier retreats, the first platoon shoots, and the second platoon prepares." The officers commanding in front of the battle shouted loudly.
The dense row of guns and ping-pong rang out happily, spewing out a puff of choking gunsmoke, and the round lead bullet whistled out, penetrating into the body of the Jin soldiers who were still in a daze on the opposite side, bursting out of blood flowers, and the cannon fodder of the Jin soldiers in the range of the Lu Mi gun screamed miserably and fell down in a row, and the rest were all trembling, turning around and running back.
This team's cannon fodder has learned to ride, and if you run back, you will be chopped by the supervising team, and if you rush forward, you will eat the guns, so you can simply run back a little bit, run out of the range of the muskets, and just stand there, and it is better to be hit by shells, although the power of the artillery is large, but at least it is not as dense as the guns, and if you are lucky, you may not be blown up and hung up.
Not to mention, they bet right, the twenty Franc cannons of the wolf camp did not open fire, and I don't know if they were damaged by using them too often? There are still no shells, no more than any other shells.
The frontal battlefield formed a strange state, in the middle of the confrontation between the two armies, the remaining hundreds of cannon fodder stood tremblingly, neither daring to run back to their own formation, nor daring to charge forward, feeling like a group of abandoned children abandoned by God, pitiful beyond description.
"Listen to the brother on the other side, put down your weapons and come and surrender, and this officer will save your life." An officer of the wolf battalion had an idea and shouted loudly, and his soldiers listened and shouted in unison to persuade him to surrender.
Not to mention, after shouting a few times, a few soldiers of the Han Army Banner exchanged glances, slowly moved forward under their feet, and then suddenly threw away the weapon in their hands, and ran forward, shouting loudly as they ran, "Brother, don't shoot, we are Ming people who were coerced by Shangguan, now anyway, anyway, don't shoot......"
"Bastard."
Several tribal armored officers roared angrily, wanting to catch up and cut people, but suddenly felt a sharp pain in their lower backs, which made them can't help but let out a terrible howl, twisted their bodies with difficulty, pointed at the soldiers with knives in their backs, gritted their teeth and said, "You...... You ......"
"Whoever stands in my way, die!" A Han soldier who stabbed him in the back swung his sword, cut off the head of an officer, stunned his companion with a gritted glare, and then threw away the steel knife in his hand and strode towards the wolf soldier camp.
Someone takes the lead, someone follows, half of the more than 300 remaining cannon fodder in this team are Ming people of the Han Army Banner, most of them are greedy for life and afraid of death to surrender, and some are forced to surrender by the commander, unwilling to be slave cannon fodder.
In addition to the Ming people of the Han Army Banner, there were dozens of soldiers from various tribes outside the Saiwai, whose tribes were annexed or slaughtered by the Jin army, and they had to steal their lives and look for opportunities for revenge, and they did not hesitate to follow at this moment.
There were more than 100 people standing still in place, most of them were warriors from various tribes outside the Saiwai, and there were more than 30 Ming people from the Han Banner Army, and I don't know what they thought in their hearts, with strange expressions on their faces, their eyes wandering, and they seemed to be undecided.
At this time, there was a bell behind him, which was the signal to close the team, and those who were undecided suddenly felt a sense of relief, and ran backwards and returned to the main formation of the army.
Although Huang Taiji, who was watching the battle in front of the battle, was so angry that his face was pale, and he couldn't wait to chop up all the more than 100 people who had withdrawn and feed them to the dogs to relieve his hatred, but he was a generation of heroes after all, and chopping people up at this time would only cause panic and dissatisfaction among the Han Army Banner and other small tribes who returned to him, so he had to pretend to be very generous, and did not hold anyone responsible, but on the contrary, he persuaded and appeased them, let them go back to the back camp to rest, and arranged fish and wine for them to enjoy.
I have to admit that Huang Taiji played very beautifully, which appeased other uneasy cannon fodder troops and stabilized the morale of the army.
In the wolf soldier battalion, more than 100 people who ran over and surrendered were carefully searched, and then escorted to Cao Bianjiao, who was praised as a young marshal by the wolf soldiers, and waited for his interrogation.
Now that they are still in the midst of the battle, Cao Bianjiao has no time to interrogate these surrendered prisoners, temporarily place them in the rear camp for custody, and let the leaders of the gang make a feast of horse meat to entertain and appease.
The strange scene of the frontal battlefield did not affect the two golden army iron cavalry galloping on both sides of the camp, they continued to urge the war horses to gallop, looking for a good opportunity to break the camp, but no matter how brave and fearless they charged, they were all attacked by the dense platoon of wolf soldiers, and the losses were quite heavy, until the golden sound of the retreat came from the camp, and then retreated to the camp.
The Jin army retreated, and the officers of the wolf camp ordered the soldiers to strengthen their vigilance, and ordered some soldiers to leave the camp, drag the horses lying on the ground back to the camp, send them to the gang, and make a big feast of horse meat.
Contrary to the joyful and lively atmosphere of the wolf camp, in front of the Jin army's big array, the emperor's face was full of black lines, and three consecutive waves of attacks, the cannon fodder alone lost more than 2,600 people and a lot of siege heavy weapons, and the Dajin warriors lost more than 1,700 people, and more than 100 people were wounded by guns, and those brought back by their companions were estimated to be crippled even if they could be saved.
That's the Dajin warriors of nearly 2,000 people, the elite of the elite, many of them are warriors and fierce generals who have won N many combat exploits, and it was over like this, which made him feel so painful that he was holding back a breath of anger in his heart.
However, annoyed to be angry, in order to respond to Yue Tuo's surprise attack, this battle had to continue to fight, he once again ordered the fourth wave of attacks, however, he learned the power of the wolf camp musket, this time, he did not send Dajin's elite iron cavalry, but sent the tribal cavalry and cannon fodder infantry of the steppe to Shun, of course, in order to preserve strength, the strong attack is not daring, mainly to feint and contain.
If the offensive and defensive battle of the wolf battalion is considered a large-scale frontal battlefield, then the scale of the battle in Eagle's Beak Gorge is much smaller.
