Chapter 1099: Encircling and suppressing the Wanjia Army

Of course, the most important point is that the Wanjia army did not expect that there was a better and more lethal artillery hidden in the Haihan array, and there was no defense against the sudden artillery attack, and it was almost chaotic at the moment when the Haihan launched the artillery attack.

The first round of shells accurately hit the four gun emplacements that Wanjia had tried to set up in front of the formation, and several of them slammed into the crowd after the bullets, tearing a group of bandits who had not yet reacted into bloody pieces. Those who survived did not have time to figure out what was going on, so they turned their heads in panic and fled, colliding with the battle formation behind.

Wan Meng reacted quickly, and as soon as he saw the chaos in front of the army, he immediately ordered the overseer team to step forward to stop it. In such a battlefield environment, there is only one way to stop the collapse of the troops quickly, and that is to immediately execute the deserters on the spot.

Wanmeng's warlords are all equipped with iron-armored long knives, but anyone who turns around and flees back when they encounter it is a stab in the head. After cutting down more than 20 people, the rout of the Wanjia army finally stopped.

Of course, this is not just the effect of the killer of the supervising team, the Haihan position actually only carried out one round of artillery bombardment, and Chen Yixin ordered to stop the active attack. It's not that he has mercy, but that Harugong's cavalry troops have not yet been outflanked, and if the artillery bombardment here causes the Wanjia army to collapse and flee, then there may be many fish that have escaped into the nearby mountains and forests, leaving unnecessary hidden dangers. Therefore, as soon as he saw that the opponent's attempt to set up artillery was destroyed by his own side, he immediately stopped and waited for the Wanjia army to recover from the chaos and organize a second wave of offensive.

Wan Meng was also a little suspicious at the moment, the opponent's formation obviously also had powerful weapons such as artillery, but why did he only shoot one round and then there was no follow-up, could it be that its killing distance was only about 100 zhang like his own Zhenshan artillery, and the Wanjia army was no longer able to reach it after retreating a section?

There were still a few guns in the formation of the Wanjia army, but they were set up behind, and the range could not reach the opponent's position. It's just that when I tried to set up a gun position just now, I was already bombarded by the opponent with heavy casualties, and at this time, it was impossible to send my head to the chopping board for the other party to cut it again, so these earthen cannons became decorations. However, Wanmeng dared to mobilize troops again after the previous defeat to take the initiative, and the biggest psychological reliance was on these earthen cannons that the Wanjia army relied on to become famous, and now this method is no longer used, and Wanmeng is also a little hesitant to continue to fight to the death with the opponent.

Wan Meng wanted to ask for the advice of the military advisor, but Pu Xueguang stayed in the stronghold outside the county and did not follow him into battle. Of course, even if Pu Xueguang is present, it will probably be difficult to respond quickly and effectively to this abrupt situation, at most, it is recommended that Wanmeng save his strength and fight again in the future.

Wan Meng looked at the dead and silent Haihan position in the east, and wondered why the other party didn't take advantage of the momentum just now to attack, this fighter was fleeting, and after his side readjusted the formation, the advantage was gone. Wan Meng thought that this should not be a command error of the other party, but that he could not attack for some reason, but the reason he thought of was very different from the real situation, he believed that the Haihan army should be insufficient troops, and chose to hold the position in order to avoid being surrounded by the Wanjia army after the attack.

Of course, this may also be a trap set by the Haihan people, but it took two days for the Wanjia army to mobilize men and supplies from the nearby mountains, and if they withdrew immediately after the setback, Wanmeng's prestige would definitely be greatly damaged. The Wanjia army can lose this battle, but it can't be lost in the form of retreating without a fight, but if it wins this battle, the gains of the Wanjia army will be considerable. Wan Meng quickly made a decision that he still had to fight with the Haihan people again.

After Wan Meng put the military formation in order, he once again ordered to advance forward, but he also thought that there might be artillery and other weapons of great destruction in the Haihan formation, so he ordered his men to disperse, so as not to become a living target for the opponent's artillery fire.

However, Haihan's position seemed to have no reaction to the approach of the Wanjia army, and it was still deadly silent, which made Wanmeng more sure of his previous guess that Haihan should have insufficient troops to make a fool of himself. Seeing that the vanguard was no more than fifty or sixty feet away from the opponent's bunker fortifications, Wan Meng ordered to speed up the march and at the same time let the cavalry attack, rushing ahead of the infantry to attack the opponent's defensive line.

"Wait for the enemy to enter a distance of thirty meters and open fire freely!" Chen Yixin saw that the other party had already moved, so he gave an order to the companies on the defensive line.

If the opponent is a regular army, Chen Yixin would not dare to put it at such a close distance before firing, but the equipment and combat level of the Wanjia army are relatively amateurish, and there is a lack of long-range weapons in the formation, so it is difficult to form a fire suppression on the Haihan position while charging. With the firing frequency of the Haihan army and the trenches, horse rejection and barbed wire fences set up in front of the formation, it was difficult for the Wanjia army to find a loophole that could be exploited.

The Haihan army had already made ground markings at different distances outside the defense line to facilitate the defenders to judge the accurate range. When the cavalry of the Wanjia Army stepped into the range of 30 meters, the Haihan position immediately burst into gunfire, and the artillery that had already been replaced with grapeball shells also roared again, causing most of the soldiers and horses of the Wanjia Army who rushed to the front to fall in just a few seconds. Fortunately, Wan Meng ordered the team to spread out in advance, otherwise after this shot, I was afraid that there would not be even a single live mouth left in the distance of dozens of meters in front of the defense line.

This time, Chen Yixin did not order a ceasefire again, and the guns and artillery took turns to shoot at the panicked Wanjia army, and the battlefield immediately fell into a ghost crying wolf.

Of course, Wan Meng quickly realized that his collapse was irreversible, and this time he did not move forward to intercept the routs again, because even the people of the Overseer had already begun to turn around and flee. Wanmeng knew that the general trend had gone, so he immediately turned his horse's head and prepared to flee back to the county seat to meet Pu Xueguang first. However, he soon saw hundreds of horsemen rushing towards the rear of the Wanjia army to the west, and this cavalry unit was obviously not his own horse.

"It's over!" Wan Meng couldn't help but flash this thought in his heart, lifted the reins, and ordered loudly: "Brothers, follow me to the west to break through!"

If you want to escape back to the mountain lair, you will have to go west, and it will inevitably lead to a confrontation with this sudden cavalry. Wan Meng had already sent most of the cavalry to charge the battle just now, and now there were only thirty horsemen left around him to break through with him.
