Chapter 0530: Breaking the Camp

The smoke was blown away by the north wind, revealing the headquarters of the 1st Brigade of the 'Revolutionary Army' again. The neat and thin queue is still there, and the formation is intact and unbroken. The mounted artillery platoons on the left and right flanks had returned to their positions, as if they had not moved at all. From the perspective of the several 'Heavenly Blessing' military formations on the opposite side, nothing has changed, not even the distance between the enemy and us.

The only change was that the formation of several phalanxes of the 'Heavenly Blessing' army was forcibly stripped of a small half. The flintlock pistol using Mini rounds brings super lethality, and the generational advantage of the weapon is brought into full play.

The platoon guns just now killed about 100 people, plus more than 200 people who were killed by the cavalry artillery, and it seemed that the surviving 'Tianyou' soldiers were all standing in the sea ......of blood in the corpse mountain, stunned.

Tan Feng's body was cold, and his whole body was shivering. His lips were white, his face was blue, and he said to himself tremblingly: "This..., this..., this is too ruthless!" We didn't do anything, and they started to threaten. ”

There were about four or five thousand of the 'Heavenly Blessing' army, who had just prayed to the Pope Boar Skin, inspired by the shaman, in exchange for high morale and high morale. But in the blink of an eye, people died.

No matter how strong the effect of brainwashing is, but now the brains of these Han cannon fodder have entered a sluggish state, as if they are dead, they can't think and can't control. Everyone stared dumbfoundedly, looking at the gang of fierce gods on the other side - who am I? Where am I? What am I going to do?

The cannon fodder's minds are blank - are they still rushing? Wouldn't it be better to run away? Can you survive if you surrender?

The wounded soldiers on the battlefield were screaming, but the soldiers who were still alive were standing stupidly. They don't know what to do, just like when faced with an enemy that is difficult to resist, living beings will give up their resistance out of extreme fear. Until one of the soldiers cried out......

Run!

There was a shout of hula, and the cannon fodder who were still alive finally came to their senses, completely sober. As soon as they threw away their weapons, they turned around and ran, at first in the direction of their camp, but soon they did not even want to go back to the camp, but fled in all directions - the tragic casualties caused a strong impact on their thoughts, all the brainwashing effects disappeared in an instant, and the instinct to survive took over.

Nurhachi, who was staying in Shenyang, had just felt a little more comfortable in his head, but this time a more intense spiritual impact hit his heart. Endless fear, resentment, and curses converged in his head, and the once docile lamb turned into a hungry wolf in an instant. His strange appearance attracted many Jurchen ministers, but everyone was helpless and could only do it in a hurry.

Nurha's eyes were red, and he hugged his head and shouted: "Kill the rebels, kill the rebels, kill the rebels!" ”

No one knows where the rebels are? No one knows what the hell is going on? Several Jurchen ministers tried to calm down their Great Khan, but they would immediately become the target of Nurhachi's attack if they got a few steps closer. Huang Taiji was more vigilant, and hurriedly shouted to the minions outside: "Go and invite Father Julius, go, go!" ”

The last time Nurhachi shouted to kill the rebels, Gao Hongzhong could still be ordered to carry it out. But now that he is shouting and shouting, Tan Feng on the front line has lost control of the battle situation. Countless people were running around the field, and they couldn't be retracted at all, and even Tan Feng himself rode his horse to the camp. The camp gate did not dare to open at all, so he jumped off his horse and climbed over the fence before fleeing back.

The 'Tianyou' army, a total of five phalanxes, suddenly collapsed after being brushed with a wave of guns and cannons, and this turning point made all the officers and soldiers of Gao Daniu's department frightened enough—even more terrified than the moment when their morale burst at the beginning.

Gao Da Niu has always been calm and calm. But this time he also touched his heart and said: "I'm scared to death, I thought these guys were really not afraid of death, they all scared me." ”

When Tan Feng returned to the camp, he also touched his hands and feet to confirm that he was still alive, and then he gasped and said, "I'm scared to death, those guys outside are too powerful." We can't win the field battle at all, so it's better to defend the camp. ”

Tan Feng is a general, and the 5,000 soldiers and horses who have just attacked are all his subordinates. There were more than a thousand casualties, and the rest could no longer be contained. This even reimbursed the entire 'Heavenly Blessing' army in one go, and also caused a big chaos.

Gao Hongzhong had just settled the chaos of the rocket attack in the camp in the east, and he was naturally furious when he inquired about the defeat in the west. He brought people over to correct Tan Feng on the spot, but on the occasion of the current employment, he wrote down the punishment and made meritorious contributions.

Hit by this, Tan Feng no longer dared to wave casually. He was demoted to the rank of garrison officer, and honestly returned to the position of the western fort to keep an eye on the movement of the tall bull headquarters outside. He ordered the artillerymen to keep an eye on the direction of the opponent, thinking of calming down and waiting for the enemy to get close before fighting. But this time he calmed down, and the tall artillery was in place.

The advance of the entire 1st Brigade of the 'Revolutionary Army' was actually to cover the position of its own artillery. In the face of the enemy's strong fortifications, the tall bull will not be stupid enough to charge with his own infantry. The 12 guns of the artillery battalion directly under the brigade headquarters had just climbed a slope several tens of meters above sea level, and this time they were really looking down on the camp of the 'Tianyou' army.

The gun emplacements were built urgently, and the stone walls were directly pulled up by magic as cover, and the opening of the gun emplacements was very small, only one meter wide, and the firing range was facing the 'Tianyou' army battery about 500 meters ahead. Gao Da Niu has been waiting for such a long time, just waiting for such a moment. As soon as the artillery battalion signaled its readiness with a flag, he immediately ordered the destruction of the enemy battery.

War is sometimes a 'hard hit', and if the enemy's camp is well built, then our side will either use the strong will of the soldiers to launch an attack, or use stronger artillery to destroy it.

The roaring sound of artillery rang out, and the fence built by the 'Tianyou' army at great cost, the horses, the breastwork, and the artillery positions immediately became the key targets. A long-barreled cannon where Tan Feng was located became the focus of the firepower. Several oval-shaped solid obstacle breakers directly blasted through the breastwork, shattering the enemy artillery behind the wall.

The 'Heavenly Blessed' army never imagined that their opponent's large-caliber artillery could be so light and could quickly maneuver on the battlefield. You must know that they carry heavy artillery of the same caliber slowly, and it only takes a few hours to move a gun position, and the battlefield maneuver is measured in days.

With the heavy artillery fire, the outer defense line of the camp suddenly rose with clouds of flying ash. Tan Feng also wanted to organize the artillery of the fort to fire back, but if he fired one shot, he could return fire ten cannons on the opposite side. Not to mention the fierce artillery fire of the 'revolutionary army', it was also very accurate, and some shells even entered through the gap in the battery, destroying the artillery, not to mention directly destroying the artillery operating on the battery.

Gao Hongzhong's 'Tianyou' army had a total of more than a dozen guns, and they were also deployed on a camp line several kilometers long. When the two batteries on the west side were dumbfounded, there was nothing to stop the tall bull's troops from advancing towards the gap in the enemy's position—the artillery opened the gap, and the infantry occupied the position to expand the gains, which was the most basic tactical common sense.

"Artillery fire extends, striking the breastwork inside the enemy camp." Gao Da Niu had already moved to the artillery position, holding a telescope to see how his enemy was responding.

Tan Feng was defeated, thousands of people were scattered, and the obstacles on the periphery of the camp were cleared at a certain point, but there were still huge numbers of the 'Tianyou' army in the camp. They had already built a large number of breastworks in the camp to defend against artillery, and a large number of soldiers were hiding behind the breastwork, showing no signs of collapse.

"This Gao Hongzhong's soldiers and horses are really hard to fight." Gao Da Niu said with a frown. His artillerymen maneuvered with the army and did not carry many shells. There are only about sixty shells per gun, and now this kind of shelling is very cool, and it won't be long before the shells run out.

"Immediately send people back to the customs to transport artillery shells, and at the same time inform the commander of the current battle situation." Gao Da Niu looked at the time, it was already afternoon, and it would soon be dark, "Order the battalions to prepare for night battle, we must firmly attract the attention of the enemy." lest they harass the 11th Brigade, which was landing ashore. ”

The artillery battalion had to stop after firing thirty shells, and they had to keep some shells for emergencies. Gao Da Niu returned to his command post and entered the camp of the 'Heavenly Blessing' army with some elite soldiers as the lead.

The perimeter of the camp had been shattered by artillery fire, and the ground was full of broken breastworks and shattered corpses. The trenches and fences that prevented the infantry from advancing were badly damaged, leaving trails of ravines left by shell bombardment. In the cold weather, the corpses were quickly frozen. Some of the wounded were bleeding profusely, and although they kept begging for mercy, no one cared about them.

An ornately decorated cross was discarded on the ground, and a junior officer came up with a few soldiers to remove it, something the commander had asked for. In addition, Zhou Qingfeng also said that it would be okay to capture those prisoners wearing French robes, or the middle and senior officers of the 'Tianyou' army.

The 'Heavenly Blessing' Army dispersed in squads and platoons, their flintlock pistols pointed in the direction where the enemy might appear, but they did not continue their movements. For the army of the era of lining up to shoot, the weapons in the hands of the infantry were not suitable for street fighting. After occupying several sections of the broken breastwork, dismounted cavalrymen and sappers with explosives bags rose up with short-barreled, large-caliber flintlock shotguns.

"Damn it, how did Jiannu manage to make the Han people in Liaodong work for them?" An infantry platoon commander withdrew, staring at the corpses on the ground and cursing hatefully. The soldiers were also scanning the surroundings to find out the reason for this strange situation. Everyone hates traitors, but the situation in front of them is not something that a few traitors can do.

The two guns were pushed up by the artillery, and they would deal a heavy blow to the enemy as support fire at close range. A cannon is already loaded with canisters of shotgun in its chamber, and enemies exposed to its range will taste its power.

The 'Heavenly Blessing' army retreated several breastworks inside the camp, and the peek could see them scurrying around the camp. Another battalion of artillery was loaded with solid shells, ready to break the breastwork on which the enemy relied as a barrier. But just as the artillery was about to open fire, a battalion commander who was in command nearby shouted: "Stop, a few people will go and get that live mouth back." ”

Under a breastwork was a 'Heavenly Blessed' officer with a broken leg, one of the guy's legs was broken by a cannonball, his muscles were torn into blood-colored fibers, and Bai Sensen's bones were exposed. But he gritted his teeth and tried to crawl back into his camp.

Several dismounted cavalrymen with shotguns stepped forward with cats on their waists. Several people were on guard, and one of them reached out and grabbed the neck of the officer with a broken leg and shouted: "Be honest, or you will be beaten in the head." ”

Hearing this, the 'Tianyou' military officer who broke his leg was deflated and even sobbed. He was dragged back by the cavalry and immediately treated by a medic. The battalion commander who captured him interrogated on the spot: "What's your name?" What is the official position? ”

The captured general's face turned pale and did not speak.

The battalion commander stretched out his hand and teased his official uniform, and sneered: "Don't say it? Someone will let you talk. He turned around and called a few people and said, "Send him to the commander." The marshal was looking for an official to ask about the strangeness of this 'Heavenly Blessed' army. ”

The captured general suddenly asked in surprise: "Zhou Qingfeng is in Shanhaiguan?" He smiled bitterly again: "Let me die, I don't have the face to see him." ”
