Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Good News Spreads to Hai Boping
It turned out that Cheng Chong led 1,500 cavalry under his command to appear when the right flank of the Baekje army attacked, but who knew that Gao Canghai also sent another partial general to lead more than 2,000 people, preparing to attack Jiang Chuan's flank in a roundabout way.
After Wang Ze on the mountain observed this situation, he immediately erected two big flags according to the signal agreed before.
Jiang Chuan immediately asked Cheng Chong to lead his cavalry to deal with this group of enemy troops first. After Cheng Chong first sent a scout horse to find out where the enemy was coming, he quickly led the cavalry to lurk on a hill on the left side of the Jiangchuan army's defense line three or four miles behind.
When General Baekje led 2,000 men to the rear of Jiang Chuan to prepare for a sneak attack on Jiang Chuan, Cheng Chong led the cavalry to 'insert' the rear of the Baekje army, and the Baekje general was killed by Cheng Chong on the spot.
The Baekje army was originally going to raid others, but they didn't expect that they would also be raided by cavalry, and the general was killed at the first time, so there was a big 'chaos' immediately.
The back is simple, basically the cavalry average more than one knife per person, but most of the teenagers in the White Wolf Battalion are just following the strong momentum in the rear.
That is, Zhu Bofu was more bold and led his team to kill two Baekje soldiers. And the militia in the ranch are even more soy sauce, and they can't even get to the edge.
Cheng Chong just charged and didn't make any more moves, and finally saw dozens of cavalry surrounding him, scrambling for the right to cut off the last few remaining Baekje soldiers.
"What the hell are you robbing? Hurry up and get to the front, there are still thousands of heads waiting for you to cut off! Look at what the fuck you guys are doing! Cheng Chong suddenly scolded.
Immediately, the last few desperate Baekje soldiers were cut down to the ground by this group of cavalry, and then rushed to the battlefield by the sea one after another.
When he was more than a mile away from the battlefield, seeing that Jiang Chuan's troops could still withstand the battlefield, Cheng Chong ordered the horses to be fed horse food made of bean cakes, cane sugar and salt.
This is summed up in the past few years of horse breeding, and the horse food developed by the special 'door' for the on-the-spot charge on the battlefield can supplement the physical strength of the war horse.
After resting for a quarter of an hour, all the cavalry mounted their horses, slowly accelerated, and launched a final charge against Gao Canghai's headquarters, which had been repelled by the Zhou Tong ironclad battalion.
Gao Canghai never expected that there would be a large-scale cavalry on the other side, and seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately left thousands of soldiers behind, and fled to the sea ship at the dock with only the hundreds of personal guards around him.
The Baekje soldiers who were left behind by Gao Canghai immediately fled backwards, but when they came, there was only a safe passage of less than ten meters.
Many Baekje soldiers rushed to the culvert in a hurry, and immediately fell into the ditch and died on the spot, but they also tried to find another passage.
However, this time, at least more than 2,000 people died under the swords of the cavalry battalion, and another 3,400 people died tragically after falling into the culvert.
At this time, Wang Ze on the top of the mountain said to Cao An beside him: "Erlang, prepare to smoke!" "As a puff of smoke rose from the top of the mountain, the battle at sea became even more intense.
Previously, Qu Rokuro only used crossbow arrows to 'shoot' rockets that ignited the grease, and also burned more than a dozen Baekje warships. At this time, when he saw smoke lit up on the top of the mountain, he knew that he could use the secret weapon provided by Wang Ze.
"Take out the secret weapon that Xiao Langjun prepared for us, and let's entertain the Baekje people from afar!" Qu Liulang shouted loudly.
As he spoke, his sergeant moved more than a dozen boxes of things, and when he opened them, he saw that there were iron balls made of cast iron, and they were pimples, and at first glance they were crooked goods of poor quality.
A sailor next to him was puzzled and asked, "Commander Qu, how did Xiao Langjun ask us to use this thing to attack the enemy ship?" This iron egg is not as good as a rocket! ”
"How can you rammers understand Xiao Langjun's intelligence!" Qu Liulang unceremoniously taught his subordinates, "These things are not iron eggs, they contain the heavenly thunder refined by the Daoists of the Haotian God Sect after Xiao Langjun's guidance!" ”
As he spoke, Qu Rokuro instructed his subordinates to assemble the iron ball on the crossbow arrow, and then after winding it up and preparing to 'shoot', he lit the fuse in a hidden place behind the iron ball and immediately 'shot' it.
As an arrow hit an enemy ship not far away, there was a loud bang and an explosion.
"Xiao Langjun is really the reincarnation of a god!" The sailors on the ship muttered.
Although Qu Liulang had already known from Wang Ze that these weapons were extraordinary, he didn't expect them to be so powerful.
The warship on the opposite side was in a mess, even the helmsman was killed, the rudder was probably broken, and the whole ship was spinning in place.
It turned out that Wang Ze carried forward the experience of casting short spears when Haikou came to attack last time, and then filled it with the gunpowder that Liu Qing and other Taoist priests had purified and configured.
Once it explodes, the power is comparable to that of a 'flower' bomb, although it is impossible to sink the warship, but it can vigorously kill and injure the enemy's ship.
Seeing that the ships on the opposite side could no longer move, Qu Rokuro stopped caring about him and ordered all the ships under his command to attack.
The Baekje warships, which were chasing Qu Liulang's fleet just now, were suddenly hit and injured one after another, and the ship suddenly wailed.
In order to establish his authority, Qu Liulang first damaged the enemy ship, and then set the enemy ship on fire with a rocket.
The Baekje soldiers on the ship jumped into the sea to escape, and the sailors who could swim were okay, and they were able to swim to the nearby reef to escape with their lives, although they were inevitably taken prisoner, but at least they survived.
But there was also a part of the Baekje infantry on board, wearing armor, which sank to the bottom as soon as it entered the water and became part of the artificial reef.
As Gao Canghai fled to the ship and hurriedly sailed, other sea ships also anchored one after another, and some of their own ships that came to support were ready to flank Qu Liulang.
The other Baekje warships fled for their lives, but there were still more than 50 warships on the most dock, but because they were hindered by the warships outside, they were finally captured by Jiang Chuan's team.
Qu Rokuro led twenty large ships and thirty sea fox boats to firmly follow the Baekje fleet, sinking one from time to time, and pursued it until near the coast of Baekje before returning home.
Wang Ze immediately devoted himself to the operation of treating the wounded after the war, and because the combat ability of the Baekje people was really powerful, the soldiers in the cottage were killed and injured a lot this time.
Although most of the soldiers wore armor, leather armor, etc., there were still thousands of soldiers killed and wounded. Let Wang Zeda regret it.
Fortunately, Zhou Cheng's medical skills were quite superb that day, and more than a dozen doctors under him were also good at trauma, plus hundreds of nurses from medical school.
However, more than 50 or 60 people can recover, and although more than 100 of them have broken their hands and feet, Wang Ze is still happy that they can survive.
This time, the heaviest casualties among the various units were the infantry under Jiang Chuan's command, at least two-thirds of the casualties were theirs, and it was not easy for them to block the attack of the Baekje army with all their might.
The lightest casualties were Qu Rokuro's sailors, with less than 10 dead and wounded, but they annihilated more than 40 Baekje warships, plus more than 50 Baekje warships captured by Jiang Chuan's department, so Baekje lost at least 100 warships.
In the evening, Wang Ze led Cheng Chong, Jiang Chuan, Qu Liulang, Zhou Tong and other leading generals to visit the camps where the wounded were resting one by one.
In the end, Wang Ze and his entourage came to the camp of the disabled soldiers, and stood at the entrance of the 'gate', only to see that many soldiers were depressed. Even the face leaked dead 'color', obviously I couldn't think about it, and I wanted to find a short-term view.
Wang Ze was very worried, thought about it and then entered the tent, and several wounded people who were slightly less injured got up and saluted Wang Ze and the others.
While comforting them, Wang Ze glanced around, and with Wang Ze's glance, the wounded looked at Wang Ze one after another.
"I'm tired of Xiao Langjun coming to visit me, but I'm waiting for my hands and feet to be disabled, I'm afraid that I won't be able to fight with Xiao Langjun in the future!" One of the soldiers burst into tears as he spoke, and the surrounding crowd burst into tears.
Wang Ze also burst into tears at this time, took the soldier's hand, and said loudly: "In this battle, thanks to the help of your elders, we can win this great victory and find a safe place for our clansmen!" Thank you Wang Ze! ”
Saying that, Wang Ze saluted around, and then said: "All the elders, are the heroes of my cottage, although they are injured now, Ze will not ignore them, the month before yesterday to capture Danluo, the capture of thousands of 'women', I 'want' to distribute according to the merits of the war, but your elders are inconvenient, I will each be equipped with two Tamluo 'women' to take care of your daily sprinkling in the future!" ”
After looking at the wounded for a while, the emotions began to mobilize, and then he continued: "Then, each of you will be allocated 100 acres of grassland and fertile land, and the land allocated after the statistics of the war exploits will be counted separately, and each person will be distributed 20 cattle, 200 sheep, and 1 horse!" In the future, I will receive 100 catties of food every month! ”
Now the wounded became excited, although they were wounded, crippled hands and feet, but with these land, cattle, sheep and horses, the future life is much better.
Not to mention, he will also distribute two Tamna 'daughters' to himself to take care of his daily life. As soon as Wang Ze went out of the 'door', he heard the soldiers behind him and began to talk excitedly about his happy life in the future.
"Ze'er, have you thought about it?" Cheng Chong, who was behind Wang Ze, asked him.
"Not bad, second uncle! These people were born and died for us, although they were lucky enough to pick up a 'life', but they broke their hands and feet, I must arrange their future lives, otherwise I will not be at peace! Wang Ze replied with a heavy face.
In the past, he always heard that a success would be a thousand bones, and he didn't care about it at the time, but now that he saw the death and injury of his own people, Wang Ze's heart felt very depressed.
The next day, Zheng Kui, who got the news, led thousands of young men to help take care of the battlefield, and as soon as these young men arrived at the battlefield, they were immediately smoked by the smell of blood and vomited.
And the 2,000 young men brought by Zheng Kui before began to brag about the big war at that time in front of this group of young people, which made these later people admire.
Of course, looking at the soldiers under Wang Ze's command was already a little awe-inspiring, how much killing 'sex' must have to be to cut down those Baekje people to the point that they couldn't even recognize their mother!
