Chapter 239: Catch It All (Medium)
The long-range infantry of the three infantry units followed a three-stage shooting drill and fanned the unarmed peasant army in turn and lit the fire ropes on the gun pipes.
The peasant army, which was advancing with negative soil, fell like a wave of wheat in the wind under the dense scatter of bullets and guns.
People in troubled times are not as good as dogs, and on top of this battle array, human life is not as expensive as paper.
Countless wounded soldiers who had been hit by the guns rolled on the ground and wailed, and the stumps and severed arms blown away by the artillery covered the southeast corner of Onyx Mountain.
The corpses were piled up like a mountain, looking at the battlefield in front of them that was as hellish as Asura, the fierce left officers and soldiers were frightened and began to patrol backwards, and even Daniel Zhang, who was bent on making meritorious achievements, was also shocked by this crazy massacre.
Daniel Zhang clearly knew that if his subordinates charged in front, the outcome would probably not be much better than the peasant army in front of him, and he did not expect that the firepower of the Jingbei army with the black general flag in front of the battle would be so strong.
"Hurry back, hurry back ......!"
The peasant army, which had lost nearly two thousand, was frightened, and they threw down their sacks and frantically retreated towards the hills.
In the troubled times, his subordinates are the capital he relies on to survive, and Liu Guoneng doesn't want to be buried under the artillery fire of the Jingbei Army.
Under the emotional infection of defeat, Daniel Zhang, who was acting as a superintendent, also forgot their identities and turned to retreat to the mountain with Liu Guoneng, who was the first to flee.
"Wang Deren, Zhang Wu, the two of you immediately reorganize your troops to charge the battle."
"Jin Shengheng, Wang Yuncheng, you two immediately lead the troops to collect the prisoners and prepare to replace Wang Deren, this commander does not believe that the firearms of the thief army can continue to fight."
Zuo Liangyu, who commanded on the main peak of Agate Mountain, had a grim face, and he was also thinking about why there was an army with such ample firearms in this wilderness of Wanyuan?
The left army was not without artillery, but in order to attack Zhang Xianzhong, Zuo Liangyu abandoned all his heavy weapons and was able to catch up with Zhang Xianzhong, who had been fleeing westward.
Now in the face of the powerful firepower of the Jingbei Army, Zuo Liangyu has no artillery support, the only way is to use human lives to fill the tight defense line of the Jingbei Army, fortunately there is nothing else on the Agate Mountain, that is, there are many people, Zuo Liangyu believes that with nearly 20,000 peasant troops on the mountain, he will be able to fill the damn trench.
"The last general and others must obey the orders of the left commander!"
Wang Deren, Jin Shengheng, Lu Ding and others suddenly received the order, and the peasant army that died left and right was not the military horse of his own department.
"On the orders of General Zuo Shuai, continue to attack, do not hit the defense line of the thief army, and never withdraw troops!"
Under Zuo Liangyu's strict order, Wang Deren and Zhang Wu had to bring people to replace Daniel Zhang and Liu Guoneng, who had just retired.
However, they also accepted the baptism of artillery fire of the Jingbei Army, and the stability of the arquebus was ensured by the use of hydraulic boring machine polished pipes.
The quality of the cannon with the iron core copper wall is also superior to that of the ordinary iron cannon.
Under the command of Ma Zheng, the artillery and musketeers of the Jingbei Army once again fired intensive crossfire.
Countless peasant armies fell one after another on the way to the charge.
"They don't want us to fill the damn trench, they want to use our lives to consume the firepower of the Jingbei Army, the brothers are dead when they move forward and die when they retreat, let's fight with the officers and soldiers of the dog day, save the eight kings and kill Zuo Liangyu."
Deng Yu, a fierce general in the peasant army, dropped the sandbag in his hand, picked up a wooden stick, turned his head and rushed in the direction of Wang Deren and Zhang Wu behind him.
"The old management team is right, our enemy is Zuo Liangyu, not the Jingbei Army, why do we work for them, let's fight with them."
Zhang Xianzhong's battalion officer Jing Si also broke out, when they were able to create the Ming Dynasty's rebellion, they were just pinning their heads to the waistband of their trousers to beg for a living, and they didn't look at life and death too much, and now that the old management team took the lead, Jing Si naturally got up and responded.
One after another, the peasant army threw down the sandbags in their hands, picked up the wooden sticks, stones and bamboo poles on the ground and followed behind the old management team, and killed Wang Deren and Zhang Wu, who were supervising the battle in the rear.
"The thieves are in chaos, Zhang Wu, you take people up and beat them down, remember that our left army should not be captured."
Like the Eastern Army, Zuo Liangyu's military horses also adopted the tactics of the surrendered peasant army in the front, and the elite Left Army headquarters in the rear.
Of course, the advantage of this is not only to save the soldiers of the left army, but also to strengthen the heart of surrendering to the thieves, so that they will die for Zuo Liangyu.
"Hehe, General Wang, just take a look!"
Tao Wu suddenly received the order. When the Jingbei army surrounded Onyx Mountain, he was thinking about controlling Zuo Liangyu on the mountain, but Zuo Liangyu had a lot of guards around him, and he really didn't know how to do it.
"Brothers, follow Ben to kill all those thieves!"
Zhang Wu drew his knife and roared, but the long knife in his hand was on Wang Deren's neck.
"Zhang Wu, what do you want to do?"
Wang Deren was shocked and angry, he didn't expect that the sky-turning dragon who captured Zhang Xianzhong alive would turn back.
At this moment, Zhang Wu's military horses also raised their swords and spears and stabbed at the unsuspecting officers and soldiers on the left.
"Puff, puff, ......!"
A series of long knives sounded into the flesh, and the officers and soldiers on the left who supervised the battle in the rear suddenly killed and injured hundreds of people, and the rest saw that Wang Deren was controlled by Zhang Wu, where did they dare to support me, turned their heads and ran towards the mountain.
In order to flee for their lives, the officers and soldiers on the left even threw down the weapons in their hands and untied the armor on their bodies, at this moment they just wanted to live.
"The official army is unkind, follow Lao Tzu up the mountain, rescue the eight kings, and kill Zuo Liangyu!"
The Turning Sky Dragon raised his sword and roared, at this moment, he didn't care what Wang Deren said, because he knew that as long as he coerced the peasant army to counterattack Onyx Mountain, the commander would definitely take the opportunity to attack the mountain.
After leaving dozens of cronies to control Wang Deren and Zhang Dingguo, who was carrying him in the army, the Tianlong did not hesitate to drive Wang Deren's rout army to the Agate Mountain.
The old management team was stunned, Jing Si was also stunned, Zuo Liangyu, Zhang Xianzhong, Liu Guoneng and other official generals on the mountain were also stunned, and even the captured peasant army was overwhelmed by this chaotic situation.
But at this time, where can they think too much, the old management team and Jing Si immediately made a decision, commanded the remnants of the peasant army to pick up the weapons scattered by the left army on the ground, and followed Tao Wu to rush up the mountain.
"Jin Shengheng, Lu Dinger and others quickly lead people to guard the wall, and don't let the rout army roll back into my camp."
The situation reversed so quickly, this is what Zuo Liangyu never expected, like Zhang Xianzhong, he also made the mistake of rushing to the hospital in a hurry, using the peasant army that had just surrendered as cannon fodder, if it was a good fight, it would be just a matter of filling the opposite line of defense with human lives, how could the peasant army that had been a thief for a long time accept?
