Chapter 68: Attack

As soon as the messenger was executed, Lin Xiao's troops attacked again before the other party could react. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

This group of soldiers in the middle of the earth has been frightened, after all, there is a big gap in weapons, and when they see the enemy coming, their first reaction is not to organize a counterattack, but to turn around and flee.

They have already fallen into a trough in terms of momentum, and it is not easy to regain their strength.

You must know that the officers who were the core of the soldiers were also afraid, and not only did they not stop the soldiers from escaping, but they also fled with them.

Although a few officers stayed behind and organized their soldiers to fight back, the musketeers were not vegetarians and immediately attacked these guys.

Bang, bang, bang......

A platoon of soldiers fell to the sound of gunfire, and even the officer in command died on the spot, and the remaining soldiers turned and fled.

Seeing this, several musketeers who fired did not bother to reload their ammunition, and chased after them directly, because of their size, they ran much faster than the soldiers in the middle of the earth.

In a moment, he caught up with the opponent and stabbed him to death with a bayonet, and the remaining soldiers in the middle of the earth couldn't beat him or run, so they collapsed and surrendered directly.

This phenomenon is very common on the battlefield, Lin Xiao has given orders to take prisoners, and there has been no massacre of prisoners, which has spread.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the soldiers in the Middle Earth could not fight and surrender, although they would be captured as coolies, but they were still alive.

In this way, the clone soldiers did not kill many enemies, but captured many enemy soldiers.

After a battle, nearly a thousand soldiers were captured, slowing down the progress of the clone soldiers.

Along the march, the troops of Huangsha City had retreated to the next town, where they had organized a defensive line.

"Attack!"

The clone soldiers are not afraid of these middle-earth soldiers, even if they are large in number and in favorable terrain, they are just a rabble.

This is only relatively speaking, the troops of Huangsha City are already quite good among the ancient soldiers, but it is a pity that the gap in weapons is too large, so they are beaten like this.

At this time, I saw several large crossbows pushed out of the town by the soldiers of the Middle Earth, aiming at the line infantry regiment.

Under the operation of the soldiers in Middleland, the crossbow machine finally fired several crossbow arrows, which directly pierced the bodies of several gunners who were operating.

"Change the blasting bomb!" The commander of the gunner immediately ordered.

The gunners hurriedly took action, received a few more crossbow arrows, and finally reloaded the blasting shells and fired them at the enemy crossbows.

Several shells fell straight into the vicinity of the crossbow machine, smashing several large craters, which did not explain it, and the explosion directly overturned the surrounding Zhongdi soldiers, spitting blood from their mouths one by one.

Their internal organs had basically been shattered, and they wouldn't live long, and more importantly, those large crossbow machines were directly destroyed.

Without the interference of the crossbow machine, the artillerymen concentrated on shelling the enemy's position, killing many soldiers in the middle of the earth at once.

Although the blasting bombs are easy to use, they are not very numerous, and they are all used up at once, but this also causes a great shadow to the soldiers in the Middle Earth.

When there were no blasting shells, the gunners switched to slightly less powerful grapeshot shells, which was also a nightmare for the Middle-earth soldiers.

A grapefire shot into the enemy's ranks, combined with the musketeers, instantly created a blank space.

The soldiers of Middle-earth, under the orders of the officers, were extremely reluctant to come and fill the vacancy, but it would not be long before it became a blank space again.

Such a tragic battle situation made the soldiers in the middle of the ground behind frightened, but the soldiers supervising in the back directly held their knives against them and went to the battlefield.

If you slow down, or hesitate, you will be executed on the spot.

In this case, the soldiers can only go to the battlefield with their heads in mind.

This situation did not last long, the grapeshotfire was too terrifying, and it greatly consumed the strength of the troops in Huangsha City.

They died too quickly, and the defenses were quickly breached, and the clone soldiers marched straight forward, shooting the enemy troops in their way.

As several officers were nodded by musketeers armed with rifled guns, the soldiers of the Middle Earth at the front finally broke out and fled to the rear.

Of course, not all the officers died, and the commander in the rear directly sent reserves, stood at the rear, and while accepting the rout, launched a counterattack against the line infantry regiments.

This worked, but the reserves were no match for the line infantry regiments, and the musketeers approached in a neat formation.

This put a lot of psychological pressure on the reserves, even though there were quite a few archers among them, shooting at the musketeers and killing quite a few of them.

However, the musketeers did not seem to see the death of their comrades, which caused even greater psychological pressure.

The two sides fired several rounds, the reserves directly collapsed, and the timid soldiers scattered in all directions, which directly gave the line infantry regiment a chance to slaughter.

The three-stage attack directly cleared the defeated soldiers in front of them, and looking at the few enemy troops, the line infantry regiment directly launched a charge.

The infantry charge was not as shocking as the cavalry, but it was also very effective, and the last reserves of the Yellow Sand City troops were finally wiped out.

Although there were still nearly 10,000 troops left in Huangsha City, they were already routed, divided into several units, and the largest was no more than 3,000 people.

This is also an opportunity to hunt down, and the rout is much easier to deal with than the soldiers who dare to take up arms against themselves.

The commander of the line infantry regiment was not dispersed to deal with the rout, and even if it was more effective, it was dangerous at the same time.

He directly grabbed the troops and gathered them, chased and killed a large number of routs, and almost eliminated the living forces of the enemy army, without worrying too much about the danger.

After all, the defeat of the soldiers in Central China was too severe, and they lost a large number of officers, and it was almost impossible to regroup.

The two line infantry regiments took out a large number of enemy troops along the way, and the battle lasted until the evening, before they were withdrawn.

This time Lin Xiao won a big victory, and the decline of Huangsha City was also exposed, and their elite was basically wiped out, leaving less than 3,000 recruits left.

However, the other side still has a total of nearly 7,000 defeated troops, and if they are gathered, it will be a force.

Of course, it is still very difficult for them to assemble, not to mention whether these defeated soldiers still have fighting spirit, you must know that they have been dispersed, and it is still a problem to find them.

Lin Xiao was not ready to give them a chance to assemble, but if he wanted to completely annihilate these routs, he still had some difficulties with insufficient troops.

He didn't plan to trouble these routs either, his troops were currently less than 20 kilometers away from Huangsha City, and he only needed to take out these feudal nobles in Huangsha City.

These routs have basically lost their allegiance, how can they oppose him, these civilians do not have the same democracy as in the history of the earth.

They only need to eat well and have a peaceful life, so they don't care who the ruler above their heads is, no one takes the lead, and naturally they won't go against Lin Xiao, he has already come to this conclusion from the territory.
