Chapter 284 Snow's Attack
The tars were not sick, they were fearless, or the commander of the tars misjudged the situation. On the battlefield, if there is a mistake, there is only one result: death!
Xue Xue led the cavalry and went straight to Gaoyou Mansion. If Gaoyou Mansion was also an empty city, he would make a lot of money.
He didn't know that at this time, outside Gaoyou Mansion and in the trenches, there were already countless people who were waiting for the arrival of the other party.
Shiyi's first battalion, guarding the north, geographically speaking, this should be the direction of the main attack of the tars.
The first battalion, after this period of training, has already become a strong team that dares to fight hard. It is comparable to Tang He's third battalion. The only thing missing is opportunity. In other words, Tang He is too good at catching the fighter. On the battlefield, this guy is always lucky.
The reconnaissance horse has returned. The cavalry of the Taters are still half an hour away from them. If there is no accident, the battle will start here after half an hour.
All the firefighters have fought in the trenches, and the sky has long been maintained, full of gunpowder and projectiles enough to shoot dozens of times. They looked at the horizon in front of them and waited silently.
At every distance, there is a slightly larger artillery pit. The scattered cannon has been placed, and the propellant has been placed here neatly. At that time, the scattered cannon is also a powerful weapon for large-scale attacks on the intensive charge of the tars.
Backward, through the traffic trench, there is also the second trench and the third trench. If all the tens of thousands of cavalry of the tars rush up desperately, and wait until they are close to the range of a hundred steps, all the soldiers will retreat into the second trench and attack the other side in the second trench. If the tartars still move forward and get closer, they will retreat into the third trench. In short, they should reduce themselves as much as possible. The threat posed by the bow and arrow of the tars, but he has always been able to destroy the other party by virtue of the advantage of range. When the tartar cavalry approached, the trenches were a test for their horses.
In the process of charging forward, most of the cavalry will not notice their feet. At that time, I don't know how many horses will be broken? Thinking of this, Shi Yi was a little heartbroken. If all the war horses were captured, there would be tens of thousands of horses, enough to equip all the troops of the eldest brother as cavalry.
I was thinking about it. Suddenly, there was a vibration on the ground. The vibration became stronger and stronger. The experienced veterans cheered up. They knew that this was the vibration of countless horses' hoofs stepping on the ground. Look at the intensity, there were tens of thousands of horses!
There are only 3,000 defenders here. However, in the face of ten times more than themselves, they are not cowardly. Instead, they are all happy. They are really afraid that the other party will not break through from their own positions. Now they are coming towards their own positions. It is simply a pie falling from the sky. In this battle, tens of thousands of tar cavalry can be eliminated. It's enough to compare the guys in the third battalion.
"Prepare to fight." The voice of Shiyi spread all over the trenches.
The soldiers with Tianque in their hands all pulled the wrench above to complete the preparations before shooting. The gunner also loaded the cannon with ammunition and waited to ignite the line of fire.
A small number of spearmen temporarily acted as porters. They distributed boxes of grenades to everyone's hands, and they also carried a few of them. They rarely had a chance to go to the battlefield. If they fought until they went to the battlefield, they might have been completely destroyed. However, their existence is still meaningful. If you want to be a fireman, you have to be strictly trained. If you pass the assessment and fail, you can only be a spearman.
After two days of long-distance attack, the 40,000 cavalry brought by Xue Xue finally came to the outside of Gaoyou Mansion. Seeing the towering wall of Gaoyou Mansion, Xue Xue was uneasy.
At the beginning, with a belief, I led the troops south and wanted to build a strange skill, but can I really succeed?
It's just that he can't retreat. Otherwise, he won't be laughed at by the Yue Kuochaer when he goes back. Now that he's here, he has to try it. If he is lucky, he will be prosperous in the future.
Xue Xue also has a support. His army is the most elite guard. Although they did not bring artillery, half of them are equipped with advanced three-eyed fire guns, and half of them are equipped with gunpowder arrows. Compared with each other's firepower, they have to take advantage of themselves.
Although I heard that the opponent's firearms have a long range, he has 40,000 cavalry, rushing up, and the advantage of the range will soon be offset, which is still the most extreme situation. If the Gaoyou Mansion in front of him was still an empty city, and Zhang Shicheng had already retreated, he would have made a big bargain.
"Your Excellency, the brothers are tired all the way. Do you think it's time to take a break before attacking the city?" A deputy general asked.
"No," Xue Xue said, "Soldier and God, hurry up, before the other party knows that we have arrived, we can take the Gaoyou Mansion with a charge. When we get to the Gaoyou Mansion, all the property and all the women belong to everyone!"
Xue raised the volume after the words. The soldiers who heard it suddenly cheered up. Their favorite thing was the carnival after entering the city. They seemed to have seen the Han woman who was stripped naked.
"No reserve team, all charge!" Xue Xue said.
The soldiers took the three-eyed fire on their backs, loaded the ammunition in an orderly manner, clamped the wooden handle under their armpits, and moved forward to prepare to attack.
The archers also took out arrows with gunpowder to provide long-range cover at any time when charging.
Standard charging formations have been formed one by one.
"Crush!" The centurors of each hundred-man team rushed to the front and followed them with a torrent.
"Kill into the city, all the property, all the women, are ours!"
The cavalry rushed forward fearlessly as if they had taken medicine. The only thing they were worried about was that if Gaoyou Mansion was like Baoying City and people were gone, they would not be able to carry out this carnival.
At this moment, the messenger sent by the detachment has just arrived at Fan Shuizhai. If Xue Xuexue orders a temporary rest for one night and attack the next day, the order of the detachment will arrive, and countless cavalry will not die in vain.
It's just that there is no if, everything has happened.
Looking at the tars lined up in a dense formation, Shi Yi smiled with satisfaction. The tars really gave him such a big gift!
When the Tatar rushed into 800 steps, the scattered fireworks fired first.
"Boom, boom, boom." Countless cannonballs flew to the sky and flew towards the impact team of the tars.
After exploding on the head of the tar, a death zone of five meters was formed. The tars, near the center of the explosion, screamed one after another, fell off the horse and were trampled into mud by the cavalry behind.
Hearing the explosion, Xue Xue was shocked. Did she make a mistake in her estimation? Was it the place where heavy soldiers defended in front of her, or was it just the opponent's last killer? But why can't you see each other's people? The field is over the air.
Because Shiyi's team is all in the trenches, there is no figure here in the distance. The explosion of those scattered cannonballs seems to appear out of thin air.
Xue Xue began to hesitate. At this time, it was not too late to withdraw, but the cavalry had already rushed so close that Xue Xue was a little unwilling and unwilling to retreat like this.
When Xue Xue hesitated, the cavalry had rushed to a range of 300 steps.
Suddenly, the frontmost cavalry saw clearly that on the horizon, there were many heads in front of them, and many sticks of fire, pointing at themselves.
He wanted to tighten the horse's hoof and leave this terrible place, but it was useless. The cavalry behind him was still surging in, and it was all because he rushed too far forward just now.
"Ban, bang, bang." Countless crisp voices sounded, and suddenly a large area of cavalry in front of them fell down.
Needless to say, although the cavalry in the rear did not see the people blocking in front, they also began to shoot gunpowder arrows into the sky to cover the soldiers charging in front of them.
However, there are still 300 steps away from the opponent's position at this time. Even if the rocket increases the range, it can only shoot 150 steps.
This is a failed attempt.
The arrow fell from the sky in only half of the place and stuck on the ground.
"Scattered fireworks, after shooting twice, transfer to the second trench." Shi Yi ordered.
After all, the scattering cannon is not as light as Tianque, so if you transfer, let the scattering cannon move first. Anyway, the range of the scattering cannon is longer.
"My lord, my lord. Our cavalry was blocked by the other side. A thousand-year-long man came to report.
"Where is the other party? Where is the other party?" Xue Xue said angrily. Looking from this side, there was no one in the field in front of him. However, his people fell on a large area. He couldn't believe his eyes. Did the devil in the ground come out?
"I don't know, the other party suddenly came out of the ground." The commander said.
"Continue to attack." Xue Xue said.
Although there are no statistics, he knows that this operation is a complete failure, but before he fails, he still has a chance to save, that is, to rush up at all costs and find the other party's secret to block himself, which can be regarded as giving the master an explanation. Otherwise, these soldiers' Sacrifice is meaningless, and I will also bury my future.
In the midst of adversity, she is good at finding a way to get rid of it, which is Xue Xue's experience in officialdom for many years.
Suddenly, the fire in front of him disappeared. At this time, the cavalry were ready to light the three eyes under their armpits. They had seen that the other party was more than a hundred steps in front of them, revealing their heads. There must be something wrong with the ground there!
However, they were extremely depressed. They had been beaten and did not fight back just now. Now they finally have a chance to fight back, but the other party ran away again!
There is no golden sound in the rear, so they can't withdraw their troops. Although there are at least thousands of fallen companions, they still have to rush forward.
"Boom, boom." Just then, the familiar sound of death came from the front.
Compared with the sound of fire, bang, the sound of this kind of artillery is more horrible, because every time this sound is heard, a lot of people will fall.
This is the battlefield, just like Shura hell.
The tartar cavalry went crazy. They lit the three-eyed fire under their armpits and continued to charge, shooting at the place where the fire had just been fired!
Shoot where your head just came out!
A burst of crisp fire sounded, and the three tubes of ammunition of the three-eyed fire poured into the position just now. They vented their anger in their hearts. After a while, they saw each other's heads and knocked them down with fire!
In the process of fast Mercedes-Benz, it is impossible to complete the reloading. After the launch is completed, there is only one fire gun. Therefore, in addition to being used to support the launch, the wooden handle of the fire gun has another function, which is to hold the wooden handle and hit the other party's head fiercely with the copper fire gun!
The front cavalry has approached the front position where the fire was just fired.
Suddenly, a long trench appeared in front of him. Suddenly, he understood that no wonder he didn't see the other party's figure just now. They were not on the ground, but hid in the ground, hiding in the trench and sneaking on themselves!
He suddenly pulled up the reins, and the horse was ready to jump by.
"Ban, bang, bang." Suddenly, countless heads appeared in front of him, and the fire was fired again.
This time, he didn't have such good luck. More than a dozen bullets flew towards him.
It turns out that there is a trench behind it! This is what he thought before he died.
The soldiers who retreated to the second trench finally organized the second line of defense. However, the speed of their march obviously could not catch up with the other party's cavalry. When the defense line was organized, the other party had actually approached the first trench. They couldn't help but shoot immediately and beat the tars back!
The soldiers behind all focused their eyes on the place where the fire was loud in front of them. Like the attack in the march at the beginning, this group of people did not dare to fight with themselves openly, but would only secretly shoot cold guns in unexpected places! The soldiers were furious, but they didn't see the underground trenches in front of them.
This is not a stumbling mark, and it is not set up intentionally, but at this moment, it has caused greater panic to the cavalry.
As the fire attracted their attention, no one paid attention to their feet. As a result, the soldiers in front of them fell down from the hissing horses one after another, breaking their heads and bleeding. The horses behind them couldn't control themselves and fell down again. In this scene, there was no need for the soldiers to shoot at all, and they fell on the impact road one after another. .
The offensive of the cavalry was forcibly restrained by the trenches, which became another powerful weapon against the cavalry. After that, the whole garrison ate horse meat for half a month.
After several blows, the momentum of the tar's impact was finally contained.
In an army, when the casualties exceed 20%, the soldiers will be war-weary. If the casualties exceed 40%, they will be in danger of collapse. Now, the casualties have exceeded 40%. Many soldiers are already retreating.
A few hardliners have already become cannon fodder. When the soldiers behind them saw such a large number of casualties in front of them, they were already under great pressure, and no one wanted to do their best.
Finally, I remembered the sound of Ming Jin. The cavalry turned the horse's head and retreated quickly, faster than the charge just now, as if there was a devil behind them.
"Shoot, then shoot." Shi Yi said that since the tars are leaving, I have to send them off.
As a result, many tartars were not shot when charging, but were shot into the body from the back by bullets when retreating.
Shiyi took people and recaptured the first trench just now. At this time, the tars had withdrawn from the range. Because there were no cavalry, Shiyi did not let the soldiers chase.
At this time, in the first trench, there were already corpses everywhere. Many war horses with broken legs hissed sadly on the ground, and sometimes several war horses were stacked together. It can be seen how fast the speed of the charge at that time was that they could not stop the horses at all.
There are also many tar cavalrymen who fell off the horse and could walk have run away. The rest are those who have broken legs and can't run away.
"General, what should we do with these tartars?" The commander Yang Qizong asked.
"It's all buried." Shi Yi said.
"What about those who haven't died?"
"It's all buried, and it's a waste of food to stay." Shi Yi said without looking back.
For these tartars, Shiyi will never show mercy. If they break through the Gaoyou Mansion, they will definitely end up slaughtering the city like the sesame Li in Xuzhou. This is the war.
The tars in the distance have retreated. The soldiers began to carry the bodies and find a big pit to bury them. The trenches had to be cleaned up and ready to use them next time.
As for the war horses that broke their legs, Shiyi did not let it waste. This time it was just a small victory. The army of the tars has not yet arrived, and there must be fierce battles in the future. These war horses with broken legs are just used to supplement the food of the soldiers.
After learning that the northern flag had won, Zhang Yang was very happy and mobilized the people in the city to follow him out of the city to move the bodies and resume the defensive task before dark.
In addition to the broken-legged war horses, thousands of intact war horses were also captured. It is initially estimated that this battle destroyed at least more than 10,000 tars, successfully detering the arrogance of the tars, and at the same time improving the morale of the soldiers defending the city.
The rest of the harvest is those three-eyed fire.
Last time, Zhao Zixiong ordered people to bring back only more than a thousand three-eyed firearms, all of which were sent back to the base. This time, thousands of three-eyed firearms were seized. For this backward smooth-m firearm, Zhang Yang did not allow it to keep it and directly sent it back to the base to make some parts of the much-needed steam engine.
If the tartars of the Military Bureau knew that Zhang Shicheng looked down on his most advanced three-eyed fire, and he didn't know if he would vomit blood in anger.
Compared with the defenders of Gaoyou Mansion, Xuexue spent a long and unforgettable night.
After retreating 30 miles, half of the army had dispersed, leaving only 20,000 people. They retreated from Gaoyou Mansion. Although there were no pursuers, the soldiers did not maintain the establishment. Later, they ran into chaos. Because it was dark, some cavalry dispersed.
Xue Xue has a terrible headache. This time, she lost half of the elite troops. How can she report to the Taishi?
The messenger sent by the imperial division finally arrived. The order to Xue Xue was to wait on the spot. You can use cavalry to surround Gaoyou Mansion, but you must not attack.
It has attacked and suffered a great loss. The army of the Taishi will arrive in two days. What should I do?
Thinking of Yue Kuo Chaer, Xue Xue feels more and more, why is this guy so lucky? Or did he make himself a pussy this time?
