Chapter 1406: Killing the enemy with a musket
Wu Yuanhao brandished his copper-ringed broadsword, and his subordinates were also moved by the general's bravery, and more than 20,000 soldiers went out in one go, these people were originally assembled near the city gate, I have to say that their army is usually very good, at least at this moment, there is no stampede.
Less than 1 kilometer away from the distance, is the Tang Dynasty military camp, yesterday was still so unattainable for them, hiding in the city wall shivering, they don't know what to do with the Tang Dynasty army, now it is like a lamb to be slaughtered, as long as they can hold their breath and rush through this 1 kilometer, then all the Tang Dynasty troops have to be slaughtered by them.
And it can be seen clearly from the city wall, the Datang military camp is full of darkness, the brothers we sent to the sneak attack have already disrupted their entire military camp, even if it is the closest to us, it is also the Datang soldiers running around, if they still have combat effectiveness, I am afraid that the shells would have fallen like rain, but now there are only a few sporadic shells, although each shell can take away a few of our lives, but compared to the final victory, these lives are really nothing.
Huo Qubing is also ready in front of the camp gate at this moment, and now they have entered a new era, a fool will take the cavalry to fight with you, he has already gathered 3,000 people, and the musketeers are all running around. In the middle of it, as long as his signal is sent later, these people will quickly form a long snake formation in front of the barracks.
500 meters up...
Huo Quzhi also clenched the musket in his hand, mainly because the range of this thing was too short, and if it was less than 50 meters, it would not be lethal at all.
The Vietnamese cavalry unit was only 200 meters away from us, and at this time, Huo Qubing immediately stepped on his horse, and the originally chaotic army quickly found its position and raised the muskets in their hands.
The Vietnamese army that was charging was dumbfounded, wasn't it still a mess just now? Where the hell did these people come from? The army in front wanted to pull their horses, but the people behind pushed them forward, except for some people in the front, who saw the situation here, the people behind didn't know what was going on at all, and even complained that the people in front didn't run faster.
"Shoot..."
Huo Quzhi gave an order, and more than 1,000 muskets were fired in an instant, which was already the farthest killing distance, and more than 800 Vietnamese soldiers were beaten like a sieve, and many people were injured by penetrated projectiles in the back.
Wu Yuanhao's scalp was also wiped down, and a large piece of blood was already flowing down his head, just now he was at the forefront, if it wasn't for the soldier in front of him who missed, now he might have been lying on the ground like everyone else, and then he was crushed by their own horses' hooves.
Yesterday the sound of the artillery sounded again, it turned out that everything was fake, they withdrew the artillery to the second line, did not put it too close as before, and now the army rushing out even if it ran back, there was no way, and the way back was full of exploding shells.
The three teams of musketeers in front of the barracks took turns firing, and they maintained a continuous output of firepower, Wu Yuanhao never thought that the Tang army would actually think of going to his front, and he had made such a deployment in such a short period of time.
Wu Yuanhao has to admire the courage and carefulness of the commander of the Tang Dynasty, you must know that if it is a little bad to use the rear of your military camp as a bait, it is very likely that you will explain your entire military camp here, generally if you are a more secure general, you will never agree, but he just met Zhang Chunze, a former gentleman.
Huo Qubing is also a second-pole general, he has a full grasp of the combat effectiveness of his army, so when Changsun Ze said this battle plan, Huo Qubing didn't even stop him for a minute, he immediately agreed to this battle plan, and has already formulated the part that belongs to him, the two hit it off like this, if Wu Yuanhao doesn't suffer, then who suffers?
The Vietnamese army has never seen this kind of platoon gun tactics, they just saw rows and rows of white smoke rising in front of them, but every time this white smoke rises, hundreds of brothers around are killed, and those people in the back also know that something happened in front at this time, and they don't dare to continue to charge forward, and the people in the rear army position want to run back, but when they look back, they are nearly 2 kilometers away from the city wall, and there are shells exploding everywhere on the way back, how big do you have to be to be able to rush through?
"No, general, you see that their cavalry has begun to encircle left and right, while the encirclement has not yet formed, you should hurry up and kill it!"
Just when Wu Yuanhao was covering his scalp, his subordinates had already discovered that the battlefield situation had changed again, and the Tang cavalry, which had disappeared, finally appeared.
The Tang cavalry appeared on the left and right flanks, and their goal was to surround this group of people under Wu Yuanhao.
As for the two groups of people who were sent out to attack earlier, they have now been suppressed, and only 2,000 people are needed to suppress them.
Wu Yuanhao also knows that now is not the time to talk nonsense, if he is also captured, the blow to the whole of Vietnam will be quite heavy, after all, he also has a certain majesty in the entire territory of Vietnam, the war has just started less than 5 days, your general has already been captured by the Tang army, then you still resist a fart!
Wu Yuanhao endured the pain in his head and turned over his horse and led dozens of cavalry under his command to run quickly to the city gate, although he brought out tens of thousands of cavalry, but in the process of charging just now, many people couldn't even find their own horses, although they also wanted to run back with the general, but they couldn't catch up with their legs.
The trumpet of the Tang army also sounded, it was obvious that they had observers in the high places, and when they saw Wu Yuanhao running towards the city gate with people, the artillery quickly adjusted their coordinates to suppress Wu Yuanhao's fleeing army.
There are not many people around Wu Yuanhao, and after being beaten by artillery for a while, more people fell off the horses, and now there are less than 10 people left in Wu Yuanhao...
