Chapter 127 Glue Battle
Xiao Tianjian silently looked at the bodies and wounded soldiers of the villagers in the two armies, and frowned slightly. He originally planned to expel the group of villagers, disperse the array of the officers and soldiers, and took the opportunity to cover them. He completely defeated the officers and soldiers and pulled them down, but he didn't want to take these villagers. He was killed, but he didn't expect that the main general of the army was so cruel that he brazenly ordered the slaughter of these defeated villagers. Although these people were not killed by him, they also died because of him, which made him more or less apologize to these dead and injured villagers.
However, this idea only flashed in his mind, and he was immediately left behind by him, and he persuaded himself that he didn't kill these people. What's more, they were enemies both enemies. He didn't have to regret anything if he died, and what he had to consider now was how to defeat the officers and soldiers in front of him and end as soon as possible. Conceed this war.
So he immediately fixed his eyes at the officer's army array opposite. At this time, the officer's army was still a little chaotic, but it was mainly concentrated in the two wings of the officer's army. In the middle of the officer's army, there were more than a dozen chariots made of solid wood. It turned out that the enemy wanted to build their defense line with such a chariot to resist the punishment. The army's attack.
In this way, it is not as simple as originally thought to defeat this group of officers and soldiers. However, at this time, Xiao Tianjian saw that the two wings of the officers and soldiers had been disrupted by the defeated army. At this time, it was time for him to take the opportunity to defeat the officers and soldiers, so even if the other party set up a chariot defense line, he could not stop attacking, otherwise Once the opposite officer is given a chance to breathe and let them stabilize their position again, then the next battle will be a stalemate.
And this time he came to attack the officers and soldiers, he simply wanted to defeat them in one fell swoop, so as to play a role in giving Shanxi officials a power, so the protracted war is not in line with his idea. What's more, once it becomes a protracted war, the officers and soldiers are easier to get support than him. Once the war is glued, the official There will definitely be a steady stream of reinforcements, so it will waste this good situation.
So he continued to order the advance, and at the same time, he sent someone to immediately catch up with Huang Shengqiang's artillery team, which followed him, and the main force of Xing Tianjun continued to attack forward.
Under the supervision of Xiao Tianjian, the soldiers of the Xingtian army continued to rush towards the army array for a moment, constantly walking through the bodies of the villagers who fell to the ground along the way, and approached the enemy's army step by step.
The officers and soldiers were finally affected to a certain extent by the defeated army. The two-wing front was obviously in chaos. For a while, the defeated soldiers and the officers were entangled together, and the despair and fear brought by the defeated army also began to spread among the officers and army, causing ** to emerge in the officers and army formation.
Although Niu Tai was promoted to the current official position by relying on the drill camp, he still had more or less experience. As soon as he saw that the two wing soldiers and horses were already a little messy, he immediately sent his own soldiers to the two wings to press them. At the same time, he sent his own soldiers to bomb the defeated soldiers behind him, so that they spread fear to My own subordinates.
Seeing that Xing Tianjun was getting closer and closer, the small cannons on the chariot began to fire again. For a moment, the chariot was full of smoke, and almost nothing could be seen clearly. Only in the thick smoke, some flames spewed out from time to time, and all kinds of projectiles flew out and hit the line of Xing Tianjun.
Fortunately, the artillery of these officers and soldiers are small cannons, with limited lethality. In addition, the training level of the officers and soldiers is very poor, and the shooting accuracy is also very poor. Either they hit high or deflect, or they simply hit too low, directly hit the ground, and raised a group of dust in front of the two armies. Only a limited number of shells formed a jump on the ground, jumping into the Xingtian Army's array, and overturning some of the Xingtian Army's generals.
A soldier of the Xingtian Army nervously clenched the bird gun in his hand, and his body trembled involuntarily. He was a soldier of the Xingtian Army who only finished the training of new recruits in the new barracks after the New Year. He was only 18 years old. After being assigned to the combat team, he was selected as a fireman and received a bird gun. But it was his first time to participate in a war like today, so he was very nervous at the beginning of the fight. It was better when he faced those villagers just now. After all, the other side's resistance was not very strong, but after arriving here, he watched the cannons flying out of the army and continued to fall near their array, and even fell directly. In the army, he began to be a little scared, although he also wanted to calm down and kept saying God's blessing, God's blessing.
But suddenly a cannonball flew and hit the head of a robe next to him. The cannonball smashed the head of the companion beside him, and the blood splashed on his face with his brain, and there was a piece of minced meat on his cheek. He scratched his face in panic. He raised his hand and saw that his hands were full of blood and white flowers, and even a small piece of human skin, so his tight nerves finally broke at this moment. After screaming in his mouth, he threw down the bird on his shoulder and turned around and wanted to squeeze into the crowd behind him to escape from the battlefield that made his soul fly.
As soon as he moved, it affected the formation. Immediately, the soldiers in the back row scolded, "Go back to your position, go back quickly!"
"I'm not going back, I'm leaving!" I won't stay here! Let me go! Get out of the way, let me go..." The frightened soldier screamed hysterically and tried hard to push the person behind him away and escape from the place.
Just after he pulled away the two soldiers blocking him, before he could run back, he felt a sharp pain in his heart. He looked down and saw a man holding a short blade about a foot long, which was deeply inserted into his heart, and his strength seemed to be drained in an instant, and he did not dare to put it. Xin raised his head and saw an old pawn with a scar on his face in front of him. He looked at him indifferently, and then said coldly loudly, "There is an appointment in the military rules. Everyone can kill those who escape from the battle! Bah! Damn bad luck, you are a greedy bastard who is afraid of death! ..." After saying that, his hand holding the knife twisted hard again and pulled it out casually. A stream of blood sprayed out along the knife and splashed the old man all over, but as if he didn't see it, he put away his short blade.
The mentally ill soldier fell to his knees with a plop, and then fell into the crowd. After a few convulsions, he died. His eyes were still wide open, but his pupils quickly expanded and became empty.
This episode made the soldiers in the team shake slightly, but then everyone stopped looking at the deserter lying on the ground, and then stepped on his body and continued to walk forward.
Just when the two armies were 50 steps apart, Xiao Tianjian finally ordered to stop moving forward. Then even if the two wings of the Xing Tianjun began to cast a row of guns, there was another sound of gunfire, and the officers and the army were not willing to show weakness. A lot of officers and soldiers climbed up on the chariot in front of the battle, and also used birds or three-eyed guns. The crossbow and Xing Tianjun shot against each other.
The projectiles launched by the two sides staggered through the air and flew to each other's targets. People kept being hit and fell to the ground, while Xing Tianjun had an obvious advantage in the shooting of birds. The new birds they used were very powerful, and in addition, they were in rows (long live harmony, this is also prohibited!) Shooting, when each row of guns is fired, the officers and soldiers will fall down a group of people, and the officers and the army obviously do not pay attention to the birds. Not only can the number of birds can't catch up with the number of Xing Tianjun birds, but also the quality is much worse. In addition, the training is relatively small, and the firing speed is obviously slower than that of Xing Tianjun.
Under such a competition between the two armies, even if the inferiority of the officers and soldiers' firepower was revealed, rows of officers and soldiers without chariots were quickly knocked to the ground. Although their three-eyed bullets could fly 50 steps, after 20 steps away, their lethality was basically very weak, even if they hit the Xingtian Army. It was also difficult for the masses to penetrate the armor on their bodies, and the projectile then fell to the ground, which was scary at most.
However, the bird gun of Xing Tianjun is much sharper. As long as the heavy projectile hits the human body at such a distance, it will be a blood hole. The projectile shot into the body can even shatter people's internal organs. Even wearing armor, it can't withstand the bombardment of Xing Tianjun's large-caliber fire bullet. One bullet is absolutely not immune. Even on the arm, it can break one of the people's arms and beat the officers and soldiers upside down, which is unbearable.
However, the officers and soldiers' chariots are obviously very difficult to deal with. The chariots are equipped with small Fran machine guns or bowl mouth guns, and there are thick wood baffles to cover the officers and soldiers in the car, which provides a very good cover for the officers and soldiers. These officers and soldiers stand in the chariot and constantly shoot arrows at the Xingtian Army, causing the phase of the Xing Tian Army. When killed and injured, Xing Tianjun's bird bullet hit the baffle of the chariot, but it was rarely able to penetrate the board. Even if it broke through the board, it basically did not have much power, so in the face of this slip of chariot, Xing Tianjun suffered a lot of losses.
The whole battlefield is full of all kinds of roars at this time. The cannons are firing one after another, and the smoke of gunpowder is getting thicker and thicker, which almost makes the two sides unable to see each other's figure clearly. They can only take an almost blind shooting method to shoot at the enemy.
Looking at the generals who kept falling on his side, Xiao Tianjian was anxious and roared loudly to ask Huang Shengqiang why he had not come up yet, but immediately heard the iron head shouting, "The yellow whistle general has come up with the brothers of the artillery team, but just now the yellow whistle general was shot and was seriously injured and carried down!"
Xiao Tianjian didn't have time to care about Huang Shengqiang's injury at this time. He immediately ordered, "Let his deputy take over the command, bombard me and blow these damn chariots!" In addition, pass the order, prepare paper thunder, and organize the traps in the back to rush up and blow up these damn chariots for me!"
The iron head immediately responded and conveyed Xiao Tianjian's order. Before long, Xiao Tianjian saw more than a dozen roars on the left wing of the team array, which raised clusters of gunpowder smoke, which made the smoke in front of the two armies much thicker, making people's breathing a little uncomfortable. Come on, he knew that the artillery finally began to fire.
