Chapter 187: Artillery Time is Life
As for where Heyan and the others went.....
"My lord! No! They're shooting at us, too! It's all crazy! ”
Bao Tuotuo reluctantly turned his horse's head and ran back towards the place where the banner master of Heyan was located.
The Heyan Banner Lord already had a blue face at this time.
Why was he beaten again, naturally he wanted to come to the artillery leader to ask for help.
Unexpectedly, the artillery leader also went crazy and mistakenly took them for southerners and shot at them.
Seeing the defeat of the remaining six or seven hundred remnants of the army, the teeth of the Heyan Banner Lord were about to be crushed.
Tonight is completely over, and the whole battle strategy is over before it has even begun.
Kill back?
Heyan looked back at the situation in the neighboring part of Ba'a, and there was already a red eye.
The sound of thumping firefights was endless, accompanied by various shouts of killing, which could be vaguely heard even through the wind and snow.
But Heyan knew very well that the neighboring tribes of Ba'a were already at the end of their crossbows, and the group of southerners were like crazy.
Just now, his scouts came back to report, and most of the herdsmen on the southern side are dressed as herdsmen on the Chahar side, and that group of herdsmen is the most fearless in battle.
It completely reversed their previous perception of the herdsmen here, and in the scout's description, even if the herdsmen were slashed a few times, as long as they were not fatally wounded, they still continued to charge desperately.
In just one round, the more than 1,000 defenders near the tent gates of the neighboring Ba'a tribe were almost crushed.
And this is only a part of it, there are a lot of southerners over there, no less than a thousand.
The area where the camp gate could pass could only accommodate six or seven people to enter at the same time, so the more than 500 people who rushed to kill were all herdsmen troops, and hundreds of southerners wearing gray-green cotton clothes.
The Banner Master knows very well that those are the real elites, and if they kill them now, they will die.
Just return to base camp..... It seems to be a dead word as well....
I lost my ordnance, and I even suffered such a big defeat, not to mention death, this banner master will definitely not be able to be a bannerman, and the entire Balhu Department is afraid that it will be under the command of other banner masters, and even temporarily absorbed by the Qiyan Department.
Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and ordered, "First garrison in situ five hundred meters to the left of the artillery leader!" ”
Since the defeat is irretrievable, then find a way to hold the artillery leader.
It is a pity that it is impossible to get in touch with the artillery commander directly, otherwise the current artillery bombardment in the direction of this group of southerners troops, not to mention turning the tide of the battle, can at least recover some losses, and the neighboring troops of Pakistan and Afghanistan can also be spared.
If this happens, it is no longer possible for the Balhu Department to make up for the losses by recovering some of the situation.
At the same time, the artillery assistant commanded the camp tent.
"Humph! It's ridiculous, the impact on the neighboring parts of Pakistan and Afghanistan is blocked, and they dare to come to us to try their luck, I don't know what to do! ”
Hearing that his subordinates repelled the unknown enemy cavalry, the artillery assistant leader Bao Tang sneered, and a look of self-satisfaction appeared on his face.
Adjutant Anto also nodded slightly when he heard this, but a look of suspicion couldn't help but appear on his face.
"Lord Bao Tang Zuoling, could it be that what those people said is true? Are they really people from the Bal Tiger Division? ”
"Impossible! When pigs fly! ”
Bao Tang waved his hand and shook his head again and again.
"My men have been keeping an eye on the stations on both sides, and at the moment only the Pakistan-Afghanistan neighboring forces have been attacked, and there has been no attack on the Balhu side.
If you want to ask for help, it is also a request for help from the neighboring tribes of Pakistan and Afghanistan, what are they doing here? ”
In this way, it is also true.
Thinking about it, Adjutant Anto didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
"However, Lord Bao Tang, this night is a little abnormal, seeing that the neighboring tribe of Ba'a and Afghanistan has been attacked, why has this Balhu tribe not seen reinforcements for a long time?"
This is a very strange point, and it is also something that few people in the camp can't figure out now.
It stands to reason that if one side is attacked, the other side will not be indifferent....
"Hmm..... It may be that the contradiction between the two sides is too big, Adjutant Anto, the contradiction between the banner master of Heyan and the banner master of Geer has been going on for a long time, and you know it well. ”
"That's the way it can be explained, but stupid! It's just stupid! When I turn around, I must join them in front of Lord Qiyan!
In front of the overall situation, it is such a small belly! ”
Adjutant Anto, with an ugly face, scolded.
However, at this moment, a soldier from outside hurriedly came in to report.
"My lord! The owner of the Geer Banner in the neighboring part of Pakistan sent a message saying that we should carry out an artillery bombardment within two or three hundred meters to the west of their station! ”
"Oh!"
Hearing this message, Bao Tang didn't have much suspicion, and nodded after thinking about it.
"Well, I see!"
"Come on, follow the instructions of the Banner Master of Geer to carry out artillery reinforcements!"
A command was quickly issued towards the artillery camp, and soon the tarpaulins covering the cannons were uncovered, and the gunners began to carry out simple loading operations on the cannons.
Because the weather was too cold, the shells were cold and heavy, and the preparation was half a beat slower than usual.
But it didn't matter, the artillery support was enough to reach the designated target, and the position was calibrated, and it was already a few minutes after the command was issued.
Nearly a quarter of an hour had passed since Gehr's interrogation to the artillery commander.
With a whizzing sound, shells erupted from the barrels of the guns.
The shells tore through the air and screeched in midair.
Then the artillery leader saw a continuous light of fire in the distance, as if all of a sudden the designated area had turned into a sea of fire purgatory.
Many people are grinning, and they don't run in vain.
Although it is said to be an artillery leader, the resources of Outer Mongolia are limited, and the shells are limited, and one is less than one.
Except for the initial training in the training camp, as long as they did not fight, they hardly fired a single cannon in normal times.
This also makes them very slow to be efficient.
It is precisely because of their slow efficiency that they have a few rounds of covering strikes, and what they don't know is that the results are almost equal to nothing.
The first round of shelling was a little missed because of the calibration, but on the contrary, several people were injured.
With the calibration completed, the shelling was accurate and almost no injuries were caused.
A quarter of an hour! That's fifteen minutes.
If the neighboring forces of Ba'a could block it for fifteen minutes, then their initial battle with Zhao Ming would not have been so miserable.
In less than ten minutes, the entire defense line of the camp in the Pakistan-Afghanistan neighborhood was torn apart.
Within fifteen minutes, everyone was in the camp early, and as the shelling ended, the Pakistani neighbours were also over.
After a few minutes of attacking, the warriors of the neighboring tribes in the camp found that more and more southerners were pouring in, and they chose to surrender after a fruitless fight.
What a fart!
The Banner Master mobilized all two of his commanders to defend near the camp gate, and as a result, the formed defense line was easily torn apart.
The only remaining leader in it was killed and injured a lot by Wang Er's party, and it can be said that the whole line was defeated inside and out.
As soon as Zhao Ming pulled his throat, they chose to surrender without hesitation.
