Chapter 223: Counterattack
1. "Hold steady, give Lao Tzu stability, and don't shoot without an order." ”
Behind the fortifications, the basic officer shouted loudly to cheer up his soldiers, and the commander ordered to put those private soldiers at a distance of about fifty meters and shoot again, kill and wound as many enemies as possible, and then take advantage of the enemy's fear and low morale to launch a counterattack, and cooperate with the Royal Guards from the rear to annihilate this enemy army.
Soon after the formation of the Royal Guards Independent Battalion, except for the grassroots officers who led the team, all the soldiers were all recruits, although after a period of strict training, military literacy and other aspects have made a qualitative leap, but after all, they have not been on the battlefield, today's battle is the first time, and it is normal to be nervous and afraid.
The first three battles were just pediatrics, even if the recruits were nervous and scared, but they were shooting from a long distance, and they could still maintain restraint under the encouragement of the officers, and now they can only shoot when they are close to a distance of 50 meters, and the psychological pressure on the recruits can be imagined.
"It's all steady, I'm afraid of hanging, not all have a head, two eyes and a mouth, and I still hang up after eating a gun."
The basic officers scolded and scolded their soldiers, and also made those soldiers who were nervous and even a little scared feel a little at ease, usually afraid of being scolded by their superiors, but now, they felt that the commander's scolding was like a reassuring agent, making them feel indescribably reliable and safe.
On the opposite side, countless private soldiers with various weapons roared and charged, but the wet mud seriously affected the speed of the charge, some ran too fast, accidentally fell, and when they got up, they had become mud figures, and the unlucky mouth also gnawed a large handful of fishy mud. However, although the speed of the charge was slow, the crowd of people who were black and oppressive, and the earth-shattering roar of killing also caused great psychological pressure on people.
"First row, ready, put the gun!"
When the officer in command saw that the private soldiers had rushed to the predetermined distance, the iron sword in his hand slashed down fiercely, and gave the order to shoot.
Bang bang bang –
The gunshots rang out like a bean explosion, and the choking smoke emitted from the muzzles of the guns instantly filled the entire fortification.
The private soldiers who rushed in the front row screamed and fell, but the ones behind continued to charge, not because these private soldiers were really brave and fearless, but because the inertia of running could not be stopped, they were pushed by their companions behind and had to rush forward.
Bang bang bang –
Under the officer's order, the soldiers of the first platoon of the Royal Guards Independent Battalion quickly retreated after putting their guns down, and the second row was on top, lighting the fuse and releasing the guns, and then retreating, and the third row was on top of the guns.
Three rounds of guns, the front of the formation was full of corpses of different deaths and wounded soldiers struggling and howling, the formation of the private soldiers who charged intensively was instantly vacant, and the rest were stupid, some stood still, did not dare to rush forward, the timid ones turned around and ran backwards directly, and the bold ones were still charging.
After the fourth round of guns was fired, under the order of the officer, the soldiers of the independent battalion of the Royal Guards climbed out of the trench, quickly lined up in a horizontal formation, according to the officer's command, held the guns, and strode forward, after the second queue was lined up, the first column put the guns, and then stood still, and the second column stepped forward, becoming the first column, and so on and so on.
Although the number of private soldiers, but the rabble, the combat power can be imagined, many people fell under the dense rain of bullets, and the rest have long been frightened, in the face of counterattacks, the attack echelon directly collapsed, and all desperately fled backwards.
On the frontal battlefield, the independent battalion of the Royal Guards launched a counterattack on all fronts, and behind, the officers and men of the first battalion of the Royal Guards Regiment were also lining up to attack.
The rear army of the private army is only 500 people, according to the commander's will, directly put pressure on the air and destroy the independent battalion of the royal guard, there is no need to keep the rear army, leaving 500 people is just to take care of logistics and military supplies.
The guns and cannons in front of him sounded happily, the roar of killing was shocking, and the private soldiers behind the palace had nothing to do, chatting to relieve boredom, looking forward to being promoted and making a fortune after this battle, and when they saw the soldiers of the Royal Guards appearing in a horizontal line, they also waved and cheered.
They were all fooled by the bosses of the Donglin Party, treating the Royal Guards Independent Battalion as a rebel, they were volunteers who made meritorious contributions to quelling the chaos, and the officers and soldiers who appeared were their own people, and it was normal to greet friendly soldiers.
However, the friendly response was a dense rain of bullets, ping pong knocking people down in half and scaring the remaining people stupid, what is going on? Aren't they allies? How can you shoot?
The clever threw away the guy in his hand, ran away with a smoke, and the stupid pen was still waving his hand, shouting loudly, "My own people, don't shoot, my own people ......"
Bang bang......
The officers and soldiers lined up and strode forward, and the response to the private soldiers was still a dense row of guns in ping-pong, and another row of people was knocked down, and the remaining more than 100 people woke up in fright, coaxing them to run away, and most of them ran backwards, cleverly drilling into the woods on the side of the road.
"Your Excellency...... Mistake...... Misunderstanding...... The officers and troops behind are beating us......"
More than a dozen private soldiers who still hadn't figured out the situation ran back in embarrassment to report to the commander-in-chief, aren't we the volunteers who are counterinsurgent, why are the officers beating us? Is there a misunderstanding here? Hurry up and send someone to contact and explain it clearly.
"Ben Shuai will send someone to contact and explain, now, you all charge Ben Shuai, and defeat the rebels before the official army arrives, otherwise you will be robbed of the credit by the official army." The Donglin Party boss heard that there were officials and soldiers behind him, and he was desperate, but the matter has come to this, for the Donglin Party, for Qian Qianyi and other bigwigs, he has long been mentally prepared to sacrifice himself, this is the last fight, he turned his tongue and continued to flicker, ordering the whole army to charge and defeat the independent battalion of the Royal Guards in front.
The private army all charged, but it was mixed up with the defeated soldiers who retreated in front, and the independent battalion of the Royal Guards who counterattacked was just lined up, advancing step by step, unhurriedly putting the platoon of guns, and dozens of private soldiers fell in each wave of guns.
"Surrender and don't kill, surrender and don't kill!"
The soldiers of the Royal Guards Independent Battalion roared loudly, while advancing and releasing the guns, surrendering and not killing was Gao Jie's order, killing the enemy in front of the battle is cool, and it is more perfect to capture alive, and the more prisoners, the more he shows his ability, and highlights the combat power of the Royal Guards Independent Battalion.
The private army was outflanked by the front and rear, the platoon of guns bombarded, the morale fell to the freezing point, and soon collapsed, scattered and fled, fled into the woods to escape the catastrophe, fled to the front of the official road, was also blocked by a soldier of the independent battalion of the Royal Guard, the platoon was bombarded, and those who were lucky enough to hang up could only obediently kneel and raise their hands to surrender.
"Retreat, sir."
The family member of the Donglin Party boss is still quite loyal, he did not abandon his master and ran away, and was willing to cover him to run away.
"It's over, it's all over......"
The big guy was cloaked, looked up to the sky and laughed miserably, the iron sword was pulled across the neck, blood spurted out, and he fell straight to the sky.
More than a dozen loyal family members glanced at each other, threw away the guys in their hands, and fled for their lives, but it was too late, the officers and soldiers intercepted them on three sides, and they were shot down by a dense platoon of guns before they could run into the woods.
All the Royal Guard had to do was tie up the prisoners, clean up the battlefield, collect the loot, bury the bodies, and count the results.
This will, the Qian Mansion in the Jingshi City, the study.
A group of Donglin Party bigwigs gathered together, waiting for the results one by one, and the manager of the Qian Mansion came in and whispered something to Qian Qianyi, which made his face instantly gloomy.
