Chapter 700 Fierce Battle 2
Although the fire on the battlefield is soaring, the sound is shocking, the flesh and blood are churning, and the blood splashing scene is like the end of the world, the immersive people feel that it is not real because they are too shocked. Time also seemed to freeze in an instant. When the front and servant of the 5,000 Tasan cavalry were almost exhausted, the baldness in the rear finally came to his senses.
"Stop the attack, stop the attack." The bald man roared and ordered, and the bare-breasted trumpet sounded the low horn. The second group of Tatar cavalry slanted a big bend behind hundreds of steps away from the destroyed front team, drifting and turning the horse's head north. Several of the following the assault cavalry were also concocted in the same way. After turning, they broke away from the Ming weapons. The range of the strike, threw the horse's buttocks to the Ming army's rocket artillery, and successfully escaped from the hellish battlefield.
Song Nan was helpless. The range of the rocket gun was not far away, and it was unlikely to rush up to catch up. He could only watch the cavalry get out of danger, but could not pursue it. Song Nan now thinks that this rocket can reach a few miles away, that's another scene.
After the Tazi soldiers give up their attack and leave the battlefield, this place will definitely become the target of the bombardment of thetar cannon. At this time, what they should think about is not attacking, but to evacuate quickly.
"Hurry to collect the team and disperse, withdraw to the rear cliff and hide, and order the soldiers and horses of the God's camp to be prepared to prevent the salams from rushing here." As soon as Song Nan's voice fell, a shell roared and landed on the edge of a rocket gun not far away. At that time, the mud and waves rolled and gravel flew across. Seven or eight Ming soldiers flew into the air, and a rocket gun also fell off.
Song Nan roared anxiously, and the soldiers braved the following gunfire and quickly pushed the Mara people away. Even so, three doors were still destroyed by the shellfire of the tars, killing dozens of people.
The baldness turned red, and while the cavalry were out of range, they ordered the Condor to bombard the place where the Ming weapons were located. He has ignored the limited number of cannon shells. In the face of the massacre just now, he has sprayed fire with his eyes and roared: "Bomb, bomb, blow up the surrounding squares for miles."
The explosion was continuous, and the flames rushed to the sky. Just now, it was still an excellent hiding place in a barren grass forest. After a while, it became a doomsday scene. Hundreds of shells poured out in this square land, blowing all the dead trees and grass, leaving traces of holes on the ground.
"Why did it stop? Blow it up. He gritted his teeth excitedly and suddenly felt that there was a few cannons, and his soldiers and horses could not take orders and took the initiative to stop the bombing.
"I sweated a lot, and the shells were exhausted, and a total of 8,000 flowering bullets were finished." The two leaders of the Condor Artillery Battalion said sadly.
He was stunned and finally calmed down. The shells were run out, which means that the sharp weapon eagle cannon in his hand has become a decoration. Now he can only take down Jinglu City to rest and wait for the next batch of materials to arrive to replenish; while Jinglu City in front of him can only rely on conventional tactics, and his sons need to fight against the Ming army. Although he was not worried about the combat effectiveness of both sides, he hesitated to look at the dark earth and the burning Jingluo City and the surrounding woods and weeds in front of him.
"Dahan, our army is in the Ming Dynasty and the Ming army is in the dark. So far, we have not found the location of the Ming army. Beizhi guessed that the Ming army must hide in the surrounding mountains, and there may also be hiding behind Jingluo City. In addition, this kind of firearms of the Ming army are too fierce, and I'm afraid it will be unfavorable to me if they react react. Batu said cautiously.
"You're right. We can't attack rashly now. Song Nan is obviously prepared. The procrastination and harassment along the way makes us impetuous and delay time, deliberately discarding their old firearms, but in fact, they have already arranged powerful firearms to wait for us to attack. This is all premeditated and planned. Move. I think the purpose of procrastinating time must be that it is beneficial for them to fight at night. After all, we don't know how many of their firearms there are, and where their troops are hiding. In addition, they also have the advantage of being familiar with the terrain, so it seems unwise to attack at night.
"Dahan Shengming, in fact, we haven't suffered much, but we have lost thousands of soldiers and horses." Batu said without conscience, but in fact, he knew that the cavalry of the charge were elite, and the loss of 5,000 was difficult to accept, especially the death without even touching the other party's hair.
"The top priority is to revive morale. It is recommended to retreat and camp immediately, take strict precautions at night, and spread out all the surrounding places to prevent the Ming army from attacking. At dawn, we attacked. This time, Bei Zhi suggested that the left, middle and right three roads should attack at the same time, and the left and right sides of the roundabout attack can find the location of the Ming weapons in time, which is easy to deal with.
"Batu, you are very thoughtful, so follow your instructions, and the whole army will camp on the spot. The responsibility of guarding at night should be done well. All the mastiff dogs in the mastiff camp should be released to cooperate with the vigil. You can't be stolen by the Ming army in the middle of the night."
"Don't worry about sweating, you will be careful."
The unprecedented fierce war lasted less than an hour. When the day was completely dark, the battlefield outside Jingluo City, which should have been bloody, suddenly calmed down. The smoke and blood in the night wind, the fire is still burning inside and outside the city, and the broken bodies lying on the earth in the dark, all of which describe the intensity of the short battle just now.
While the Tatar soldiers took strict precautions, the Ming army did not dare to act rashly. Song Nan's original plan was to drag it into the dark and use the power of rockets to attack the camp, but he also changed his mind. In the battle just now, the power of the rocket cannon was naturally beyond doubt, but it also exposed its short range and its power was not enough. Disadvantages. Before the rocket launch, it needs to be fixed with wooden stakes in the four corners and put on anvil to keep the site stable, and the adjustment angle needs to be achieved by using the increase or decrease of the number of anvil under the gun barrel. Even if this rocket launcher has made a lot of improvements in terms of shooting distance and operation, but due to technical limitations, in this battle Many shortcomings were exposed in the fight.
The crazy shelling of the tar destroyed several rockets and injured hundreds of operated gunners, all because of insufficient mobility, it took time to fall, and it also took time to pull out, resulting in an inevitable blow. Song Nan doesn't want to take any more risks. These things are the only firearms on hand. To resist the charge of the Tsars, he has to rely on these things, bows. Sniper weapons such as crossbows can't resist the crazy charge of tens of thousands of Tatar cavalry. If you attack the camp tonight, it is bound to send out these guys, and the Tiraffes must take precautions at night. Once there is a mistake and these treasures are lost, it will definitely not be worth the loss. It is impossible to annihilate an equal number of Tatar troops by attacking the camp at night.
In view of this, Song Nan can only adjust his strategy, give up the plan of attacking at night, and only order a small army to harass around the enemy camp at night, prevent them from sleeping well, and plan how to fight the next battle.
In a small village five miles south of Jingluo City, Song Nan's great general's tent is located here. Although it is late at night, there is still a huge candle burning in the tent. Song Nan stands alone in front of the huge sand table with his hands and thinks from time to time. The curtain of the inner tent was lifted. Aunt Ye Fang came out with a tray with tea and snacks, put the wooden plate on the table, and whispered, "My husband, take a break, eat some snacks and drink some tea. It's important to your body."
Song Nan turned his head to look at her and nodded, "Okay, where to put it? I'll use it when I'm hungry."
Ye Fanggu sighed, folded her hands in front of her abdomen and slowly walked to the sand table. Looking at the terrain on the sand table for a long time, she said, "Are you worried about the result of this battle?"
Song Nan shook his head and said, "I'm not worried about losing. It's absolutely impossible for Tatar soldiers and horses to pass through here. What I'm thinking about is how to hit them hard here. Tomorrow morning will be a bloody battle. If the Ttar soldiers and horses attack in an all-round way, I can't stop the dozens of rockets at hand, and I will inevitably fall into a hand-to-hand combat. And this is exactly what the Tahs expected to see.
Ye Fanggu nodded and said, "It's true. There is still a gap in the strength of my Ming army if we fight head-on. Today, I saw the formation of the salams. It's really scary. If it hadn't been for the great achievements of my husband's firearm, I'm afraid the Jingfu would have lost it.
Song Nan said, "Our soldiers and horses are all on the flank, and there are only 10,000 soldiers and horses east of the Jinglu. If the Tahs insist on rushing, it is really difficult to resist."
Ye Fanggu said, "Since my husband knows this drawback, why don't you transfer tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to guard behind Jingluo City?"
Song Nan shook his head and said, "You don't understand. Isn't the deployment of heavy troops in the rear equivalent to fighting head-on? That just fell in love with the intention of the tari. Look at this terrain. The eastern terrain of Jingru City is becoming more and more open and flat. Fighting here is exactly what I don't want to see, so I would rather drag them here. The hillside on the flank can restrict the movement of the cavalry of the sars, which is why they know that my soldiers and horses are ambushed on both sides and do not send troops to attack one wing; the sars know that although the number of people who attack any wing is dominant, their cavalry advantage is lost.
Ye Fanggu shook her head and said, "I don't know much about military affairs, but tomorrow, since I know that the Taran will attack at all costs, what countermeasures can my husband come up with?"
Song Nan sighed softly and said, "There is a plan, but it depends on whether the Tats cooperate or not. What I am thinking about is that this plan has a good chance of winning. Relatively speaking, I hope that the Tats can make a desperate bet tomorrow; if I can exchange it for a bigger harvest at the price of 10,000 soldiers and 40 rocket guns, then this The first battle laid the foundation for victory; the Taters will retreat without a fight.
Ye Fanggu looked at Song Nan's frown and whispered, "My husband is the best. The slave family has confidence in you. The slave family has always believed that nothing in the world can stop his footsteps. No one can do it, no one can do it."
Song Nan smiled, put her arms around her waist, and gently kissed her forehead: "Go to sleep. Don't stay up with me. Women will get old quickly if they stay up late."
Ye Fang glanced at him and said, "Isn't that an excuse to find a young and beautiful girl? I think you have accepted Koer. Don't let her wait too long. She is not young. Today, when she saw her mother, there seems to be a meaning of her going. It seems that although Lord Yang is not office his daughter as a concubine, they are also helpless now.
Song Nan waved his hand and said, "It's not appropriate to talk about this at this time. If you go to bed, I will call Jiang Bin, Xu Tai and others to make a plan."
Ye Fanggu sighed and turned back to the inner account.
