The Ningnan army calmed down from the panic by surprise, the artillery counterattack was in full swing, and the whistle of the infantry rushing on the side of the wind army continued to sound. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
When the officers at the grassroots level heard the whistle, they got up one after another, and shouted to the soldiers around them: Get up, get up, all attack!
By this time, there was no room for retreat, and at the call of the officer, a large number of Feng soldiers crawled out of the trenches and rushed to the enemy trenches outside.
The enemy - the enemy is attacking - the battle - the whole battle -
The roar in the trenches of the Ningnan people could be heard clearly by the wind army rushing ahead, and next, they were greeted not only by cannonballs, but also by dense projectiles like raindrops.
The wind army running in front, some of them were hit by several bullets, or even dozens of bullets, and rolled and fell on the way to the charge. The soldiers behind stepped past the corpses of their comrades and continued to rush forward.
As far as the eye can see, the wind army that gushes out of the trenches of the wind army is dense, tearing the ground and the sky, really like an ant colony, and then swooping towards the camp of the Ningnan army on the opposite side like a tide.
The trenches on both sides were only a hundred meters away, but I don't know how many wind troops fell here and never got up again. When the army fought, human life seemed so insignificant, only ten meters away, I don't know how many corpses of soldiers were stacked.
When they were only twenty meters away from the enemy's trenches, the officers in the Wind Army shouted loudly: "Sword!
Similarly, the camp of the Ningnan Army also resounded with the command of the sword. Soon, groups of Ningnan troops rushed out of the trenches, faced the wind army, and counterattacked.
The two sides charged in the opposite direction with firearms equipped with swords, and after colliding together, the sound of steel weapons piercing the human body was endless.
Many soldiers on both sides pierced each other's chests at the same time, and finally grabbed the weapons in their hands and fell together.
When the narrow road meets, the brave wins, this is an eternal truth. Face-to-face hand-to-hand combat is fought with courage and determination to die.
The main body of the Fifth Legion is the Wind County people, and the Wind County people are famous for their ferocity and good warfare.
In the white-knuckle battle, the Feng army simply drove the attacked Ningnan army back into the trenches, and the next thing was to slaughter.
The wind army jumped in from the outside of the trench, and stabbed out with a condescending sword, like a thousand pounds, even if the soldiers inside the trench blocked with shields, the shields could be pierced by the sword.
The screams of the Ningnan army resounded constantly in the trenches. The people killed all the surrounding Ningnan troops, and looked at the trenches again, which had already been covered with a thick layer of corpses, most of which had been charred and turned black.
It was the Feng Army that took the lead in shelling, causing damage to the Ningnan Army.
Looking at these distorted corpses that were not humanoid and exuded a scorching smell, the timid Feng Jun was so frightened that his legs were weak, and even the bold Feng Jun felt a burst of gagging.
There was no time for them to vomit, and the whistle of the Feng Army's attack continued to sound like a life talisman, urging the lives of the people of Ningnan and the lives of the people of the Wind themselves.
The wind army that attacked the trench did not have time to rest, and rushed down the trench and rushed into the depths. After encountering the enemy, the two sides first fired at each other from a distance, and after emptying the firecracker, they rushed forward with the firearm to fight the sword.
The front of the Ningnan army has been broken by the Feng army, and the Ningnan army in the front line is obviously lacking in fighting spirit, except for the fierce resistance at the beginning, in the next battle, the Ningnan army has no fighting spirit at all, and it is defeated in groups.
The casualties of the Feng Army only appeared at the beginning of the attack, and the following battle almost became a one-sided situation, and the casualties of the Feng Army decreased sharply, and the first line of defense of the Ningnan Army was torn apart almost bloodlessly.
The First Army, led by Wen Zhong, was now completely confident, refused to let the rout of the Ningnan Army flee easily, and began to launch a fierce attack on the second line of defense of the Ningnan Army.
The battle reports of the front operations were transmitted back to the rear headquarters like snowflakes, and the staff officers of the corps continued to draw and mark on the map and sand table according to the battle reports sent back.
Shangguan Xiu sat in the corner of the headquarters, looking down at the book, while Cai Huang was playing chess with himself, watching the performance of the two of them, it didn't look like they were experiencing a war at all.
The first line of defense of the Ningnan Army has been broken through by the First Army! As the new round of battle reports came back, the strategists in the camp all cheered and jumped with joy.
General Wen had already begun to take advantage of the victory and launch an attack on the second line of defense of the Ningnan Army.
The artillery position of the Ningnan people is within the second line of defense, as long as the second line of defense is taken, our army can capture the artillery position of the Ningnan people, which is really an excellent fighter!
In this battle, our army may be able to penetrate all three lines of defense of the Ningnan Army!
Hearing the surprise cheers of the strategists, it was as if they were celebrating the victory in advance, and Cai Huang threw a chess piece in his hand on the chessboard.
He stood up, walked over to the sand table, and looked down at the markings on the sand table. Shi Xi and Guanying walked over and said: General, on the Southern Front, the strength of the Ningnan Army is indeed not much, and our army can completely annihilate the Ningnan Army on the opposite side in one fell swoop!
Cai Huang stared at the sand table with deep eyes, and after a while, he shook his head and said: Something is wrong, order the second and third armies to immediately evacuate the first line of defense of the Ningnan Army, and order the first army to retreat to the first line of defense, stand by in place, and only send a small force to make a tentative attack on the enemy's second line of defense!
General this ......
Cai Huang's order made Shangguan Xiu also put down the scroll in his hand and looked at him. Cai Huang's brows twisted into a pimple, and said: Looking at the artillery bombardment of the Ningnan Army, it is obviously the scale of the artillery of a legion, but the strength of the Ningnan Army is only half a legion, and it is so vulnerable, which is not in line with the combat style of the Ningnan people!
Guan Ying grabbed his hair and said: Our army has the advantage of strength, and it is a sudden attack, and it is not wrong for the Ningnan army to appear vulnerable! The general also said that the enemy's Eighth Army suffered heavy casualties when attacking the city of Masala, and there were only more than 60,000 people left.
Cai Huang said: If in peacetime, the Ningnan army is so vulnerable, it would be fine, but now the Ningnan army is personally in charge of the rear, and the Eighth Army is so easily beaten out of the defense line by our army, how can the corps commander explain to Xin Jiyao? If you are now the commander of the enemy's Eighth Army Corps, will you choose to be dealt with by military law, or will you choose to fight to the death with the enemy?
Guan Ying didn't even think about it, and immediately made a choice. As a result, Ning Nanjun's current performance is too abnormal.
Shangguan Xiu nodded secretly in the audience, Cai Huang's advantage is obvious, because of his background as a businessman, he is delicate, especially good at figuring out people's hearts, he can put himself in the enemy's position and consider the problem, which is too commendable.
Cai Huang's order was quickly passed to the front. The commanders of the three armies could not understand Cai Huang's orders. His side was obviously in a great advantageous situation, but the commander of the corps ordered not to take advantage of the victory to pursue, doesn't this mean that it gives the Ningnan army a chance to breathe?
The military order is like a mountain, even if the three army commanders can no longer understand and are not convinced, they can only follow Cai Huang's orders to carry it out, and at the same time, they have to persuade the soldiers under their command who are also incomprehensible.
According to Cai Huang's order, the Second and Third Armies both withdrew from the newly captured Ningnan Army defense line, and the First Army was stationed in the first defense line of the Ningnan Army, and the army commander Wen Zhong sent three battalions of the Second Corps to make a tentative attack on the second defense line of the Ningnan Army.
As expected, the Ningnan army did not make a decent resistance and retreated.
With only three battalions and only 3,000 people, they actually broke through the defense line garrisoned by the Ningnan Army, which shows that the morale of the Ningnan Army is so low, and such a good fighter plane slipped away in his own hands, which is too suffocating.
The heralds sent by Wen Zhong, like a marquee, kept running back to the rear headquarters and asked Cai Huang why he couldn't attack with the whole army, and now was the best time to pull out the artillery positions of the Ningnan Army to lay a victory for his own side.
Cai Huang's reply has not yet been transmitted back to the front line, and the soldiers who have attacked the second defense line of the Ningnan Army in front have already sent people to send back a message, and the three battalions have now penetrated into the second defense line of the Ningnan Army and are launching an attack on the enemy's artillery positions, but the enemy defenders are numerous, and the strength of their own three battalions is really insufficient, so please Wenzhong immediately send reinforcements.
After thinking about it, Wen Zhong finally gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and sent all the remaining seven battalions of the Second Corps to the battlefield.
Between the first and second lines of defense of the Ningnan Army, there was only a fifty meter separation. But it was this distance of 50 meters that became the Huangquan Road for the soldiers of the Second Corps.
Of the remaining seven battalions, the four battalions that took the lead in the attack successfully arrived at the second line of defense of the Ningnan Army, and when the remaining three battalions were about to pass through this area, a continuous explosion suddenly occurred in the open space between the two defense lines.
The explosion did not come from the artillery positions of the Ningnan Army, and the artillery could not hit so close, but from the ground.
At this time, the open space between the two lines of defense was like a boiling pot, and the sound of explosions was connected.
When the terrifying and continuous explosion gradually subsided, people poked their heads out of the trenches and looked again, this area, the ground was full of bomb craters one after another, and the inside and outside of the craters were full of stumps and broken arms of the wind army, and the whole scene was like purgatory on earth.
This is not the end, the artillery positions of the Ningnan Army, which were already dumb fire, are now full of firepower, and the area covered by the artillery is the first line of defense of the Ningnan people where the First Army is located.
Under the cover of the artillery of the Ningnan Army, the first army, which was already stunned and stupid, was unable to resist and was forced to withdraw from the first line of defense, but with the retreat of the first army, the seven battalions that had already rushed into the enemy's second line of defense were completely alone.
The Feng army, which was also preparing to storm the artillery position of the Ningnan army, appeared around them tens of thousands of Ningnan troops, forming a situation of encirclement and encircling them.
Deeply encircled, without backup, a full seven battalions of Feng Army officers and soldiers were completely annihilated by tens of thousands of Ningnan troops.
When the battle report was transmitted back to the Chinese military tent, the huge Chinese military tent was silent, and only the sound of Cai Huang paddling on the sand table with his baton remained.
Now the tactics used by the Ningnan army have been fully revealed, the first line of defense pretended to be invincible, lured the enemy deep, lured the wind army into the second line of defense, and then with the help of the ambush prepared in advance, the wind army between the two lines of defense was blown up, and at the same time, the artillery was used to cover the first line of defense to force the wind army in the defense line to retreat, so that the wind army that rushed into the second line of defense became the meat of the Ningnan people and was slaughtered by others.
Shangguan Xiu also walked to the sand table at this time, looked down with a solemn face, he clicked the open space in the two defense lines, and asked: The enemy army has planted a large amount of explosives here?
The spy who reported the news said: Yes, Your Highness, the Ningnan Army has arranged no less than a thousand shells here?
How did you detonate thousands of shells?
It's through a gunpowder twist!
How can a gunpowder twist burn if it is buried in the ground?
Hearing Shangguan Xiu's questioning, the spy pulled out two bamboo pipes from his back waist, handed them to Shangguan Xiu, and said: The enemy army placed the gunpowder twist in the bamboo pipe, and then buried the bamboo pipe in the ground to ignite the cannonball.
Shangguan Xiu took over the two bamboo pipes, and one end of the two bamboo pipes was thinned, and the thinned end could just be inserted into the other bamboo pipe, and it was tightly sealed.
Looking carefully at the two bamboo pipes in his hand, Shangguan Xiu sighed softly, I see, what a smart Ningnan person!
He handed over the bamboo pipe in his hand to Cai Huang, who took it, looked at it twice, and with a strong buckle of his five fingers, the two bamboo pipes broke in his palm.
He said with an expressionless face: "Give the order, give up the attack, and the whole army retreat! Also, let Wen Zhong come to see me!"
Cai Huang is from an orthodox aristocratic family, attaches great importance to etiquette, and looks like a gentle gentleman on weekdays, but now, he almost roars in the end, and his body trembles with anger.
A corps, a whole 10,000 soldiers, was beaten like this, and this was a knife to cut the flesh on his heart.
