Volume 1 Chapter 865 The Great Collapse
Xu He, who was standing on the boat, had no time to take care of the goose feathers and snow falling from the sky.
At this moment, in his eyes, the cavalry of the three Tatars shot at his position like three arrows.
Soon, the Tatars who were shocking appeared to fall with men and horses.
This is the trap pit that Xu He asked people to dig during the gap between the battlefields, this kind of pit is only slightly larger than the horse's hooves, and it is useless for a small group of cavalry, but when the cavalry of the brigade attacked, it was likely that the horse's hooves fell into the pit, resulting in a broken horse's leg.
But time was short, and harassment by the Tatar pioneers meant that they had a limited number of traps.
Aside from causing some minor trouble to the enemies in the charge, it doesn't seem to be of much use.
But this is war, as long as you can kill and injure the enemy, you can do anything.
The cannon of the Fu ship sounded, "Boom boom ......"
With six successive sounds, the cannonballs flew towards the front of the left and right flanks of their own side this time, and soon, six bloody paths reappeared.
Seeing the enemy's neighing and chaotic mess, the Cao soldiers immediately cheered in the formation, and Mao Bao was closer to this scene because he was standing in the lineup this time, and he clenched his fists excitedly and said: "Good ~~~~~~~~~~~"
Unfortunately, before he could rejoice, the Tatar Chinese army had already rushed to a distance of more than 200 paces from the Kowloon Field.
The first row of musketeers had already begun to aim.
The sound of the horse's hooves was like the beating of a drum, which shook everyone's hearts, and sweat was all in the hands of the wool coat holding the reins.
"Suppress, suppress, don't let go, wait for the order!"
"You are not allowed to let go of the guns! Don't let go of the guns! ”
The leader of the Kowloon Field was reminding everyone one after another.
The musketeers of the Cao army saw that the Tatars in their eyes were getting bigger and bigger, and they couldn't wait to finish the muskets in their hands and squat down to charge.
It may be only when squatting that the body is bent together can you give yourself a sense of security.
But the voice of the leader of the platoon echoed in their ears repeatedly, and before, the colt had already said that shooting in advance would only waste the opportunity to kill and wound the enemy, and if it was discovered, it would be beheaded after the battle.
Thinking of that day, the cold eyes of the colt made everyone's hearts startled, and the fingers on the trigger gradually loosened.
Suddenly, the leaders of the platoon seemed to see the banner and shouted: "Light the rope!" ”
The sound of the figure reached everyone's ears, and the fire crackers pulled out the fire fold with trembling hands and blew it up, and the next second they gently pressed it on the fire rope.
At this moment, white smoke suddenly rose, and the fire rope burned rapidly.
"Aim!"
"Aim!"
Only then did everyone remember to look ahead.
Don't look at it or don't worry, this time the enemy has already begun to bend their bows and arrows towards Kowloon Field.
In the blink ......of an eye, a muffled sound came, and many of the enemy's arrows were inserted on the wooden fence, making a dull sound, but then, the wails and screams were endless, and the enemy's arrows could still have such damage at a distance of more than a hundred steps.
There was an uproar in the Kowloon field, and the formation began to be chaotic.
At this moment, suddenly the voice of the general soldier of Caoyun sounded: "Calm! Don't mess around, listen to orders! ”
The sound of horses' hooves galloped behind all the firecrackers, and the voice of the chief soldier was incessant.
Only then did everyone settle down, but in the next second, they suddenly shouted at the head of the line: "Release!" ”
The musketeers in the first row pressed the trigger as if they had been pardoned for the enemy in front.
The sound of "bang ......" exploded and the white fog shrouded it.
They couldn't see or dare to look at their results, and as soon as they squatted down, they heard "bang ......" behind them again
……
At the end of the three rounds, the firecrackers in the first row saw that there was no enemy in front of them, so they hurriedly set up the firecrackers, and after hearing the familiar voice of the platoon leader, they mechanically lit the firerope - fired.
At this moment, there was a whistling sound above their heads, and the Daifuku ship behind them opened fire again.
Xu He, who was standing on the fortune boat, looked at the scene on the battlefield, his expression was neither sad nor joyful.
The six-stage attack in the Kowloon Field became a three-stage attack, but the effect was still not reduced.
The Tatar cavalry in the middle was pinned down a hundred meters away, but the two flanks were difficult to say.
The traps and red-coated cannons could only inflict damage on their points and lines, and the rest of the Tatars were still fearless in their attacks on the flanks.
Although the second round of shelling reduced the pressure on the flanks a lot.
But Xu He clearly felt that casualties, a large number of casualties were about to appear.
His cards are now all out, and the enemies are still flowing.
If this continues, this is a war that must be lost.
But Xu He insisted, no matter how big the casualties were, even if the Cao army below, including his eldest brother Mao Bao, died, he couldn't take a step back.
The enemy attacking the flanks was getting bigger and bigger, and the red-coated cannons on the Fu ship were still firing.
But the Tatars seemed to be accustomed to artillery fire, and rushed desperately into the formation to entangle with the Cao army.
The current situation was that artillery could cause problems in the enemy's rear, but the damage of such solid shells was limited after all, and the enemy soon rushed more and more into the Wei army and fought with the Wei army.
I have to say that the Tatars are really powerful, rushing into the formation of them in groups of three or three, cutting and killing, the Wei army was like chopping melons and vegetables by them, and they did not have the slightest power to parry.
I stood on the top of the hill and looked at the battlefield, and said to Zhao Quan on the side with a smile: "The Wei army is already barely breathing, you say, where did the Long Xiangwei of the horse Xu He go?" ”
Zhao Quandao: "Could it be that he fled, he was afraid that as soon as the soldiers of Wanhu arrived, he would not have time to escape, so he fled in advance." ”
I replied and looked at Zhao Quan, and sneered: "You must Meng En is almost a brain." This Xu He dared to take a group of recruits south to Qinwang, and he didn't know how to use Tianjin Sanwei to come to Beijing, do you think he is greedy for life and afraid of death? ”
Zhao Quan realized that he had said the wrong thing, but he insisted on: "That's because he didn't meet Lord Wanhu!" ”
I replied and smiled slightly: "That's right!" ”
After speaking, he turned his head to look at the battlefield again.
The Cao army here was blocked in Zhangjiawan, and the only exit was in front, but in front were countless Tatars.
Some timid people have already begun to jump into the river to escape.
Mao Bao was furious when he saw this scene, and he came to the back and scolded: "Shoot, shoot all these greedy guys who are afraid of death in the river!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, arrows shot into the river, which was instantly stained red with blood.
Mao Bao was also stimulated by the blood of young people at this time, he simply ripped off his helmet, carried an iron gun and said: "Lao Tzu Mao Bao will never take a step back even if he dies here today, grandma's, there is no man in the Great Wei Dynasty?" ”
After speaking, he rushed into the left flank that was about to be broken through, and the personal soldiers of the Marquis of Ning Guo's Mansion were immediately shocked when they saw this, and joined the left wing battle group.
But as soon as the left flank on this side was able to stabilize its position because of the addition of Mao Yuan and his own soldiers, there was an exclamation from the right flank: "The Tatars have come in, brothers, flee!" ”
Mao Baoge opened a scimitar, panting and scolding: "Dog, don't escape, don't escape!" Xu Liangsheng, do you have a fucking backhand, Lao Tzu is dying! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he was stabbed in the back, and then he was stabbed by the Tatars' hook guns, and he screamed and fell off his horse.
Seeing this, the soldiers immediately went crazy, and rushed forward desperately to exchange their lives for their lives before snatching the coat out.
As a result, the left wing suddenly collapsed.
Xu He, who was standing on the Fu boat, saw the Tatar cavalry on both wings surging like a tide and were harvesting the fire gunners in the middle of the road, he scolded with a solemn expression: "Damn, if you don't fucking come again, Lao Tzu will kill your nine clans when he dies!" ”
