Chapter 169 Embarrassed into Fury
Before the officers and soldiers' tiger squat cannons and Fran machine guns were carried within range, there was a roar in the Xing Tianjun's large array. The low walls in more than a dozen places spewed out a regiment of flames of flames. In an instant, they saw the officers and soldiers flying away. Even if the officers and soldiers were turned over, they were really Heart bullets and scattered bullets are like a big broom, sweeping a large area, and a single shot can shoot dozens of fire bullets at the top, which is very powerful.
After the officers and soldiers were bombarded, the courage they finally summoned immediately dispersed, and the gunners carrying the tiger squat gun and the light Fran machine gun also suffered heavy casualties. Many people lost their guns, turned around and fled back.
Wu Sangui was shocked when he saw it. He knows the power of this small Hongyi cannon. Although it is not as powerful as the Hongyi cannon with a weight of more than 1,000 catties in his army, ordinary Fran machine guns can't suppress them. Even heavy Fran machine guns may not have a longer range than them, so Wu Sangui was quite surprised.
"The thief army even hid the little red cannon! Damn it!" Wu Sangui immediately clenched his fist after the battle and scolded him.
The family members around him are also very helpless. Just now, the Xingtian thieves didn't use cannons, so they couldn't stand the cannon. Now they have pulled out cannons, so they don't take advantage of it.
These diners are all good hands. Their one-on-one combat effectiveness is quite good, and they are also very brave and loyal, but they are most afraid of this kind of birds and cannons. Their skills can't be used at all in front of these things. They still fart on the spot. They are too cowardly. When they see that Xing Tianjun actually still has They all suddenly felt very discouraged.
Wu Sangui looked at the officers and soldiers who retreated like the tide. Now his troops have more than 6,000, more than three times more than the enemy, but he was knocked down when he went up, which really made him feel ashamed, especially the terrain here is not suitable for the enemy's resistance at all. It's very suitable for their attack battle, but the battle is still like this. It's really a shame!
Although the enemy's weapon is a little powerful, it will not be one-sided. If he can't take down this group of thieves today, he really can't fool around in the future. Even if his family background is very prominent and supported by his father and uncle behind him, Sun Chuanting is not a vegetarian. He plays a copy of him to the capital, and he will follow. I can't stand it.
Thinking of this, Wu Sangui couldn't help but be cruel. He immediately ordered the whole team immediately and prepare to fight again. This time, Wu Sangui didn't care about cherishing the soldiers. He gritted his teeth and was cruel. He wanted to completely kill this group of Xingtian thieves to eliminate his hatred. Now as soon as he met such a partial division of the Xingtian army, the battle became such a virtue. Think about the next step to go to Jining to fight with the main force of the thief army. If you can't win this battle, you don't have to think about fighting in the future, and the heart of the army will definitely be completely dispersed.
So he sent people to continue to report to Sun Chuanting, asked Sun Chuanting to quickly mobilize heavy artillery to cross the river to help the battle, and told Sun Chuanting that the enemy had artillery, and they suffered a lot of casualties, but told Sun Chuanting that even so, he would defeat the thief army and never lose the people of the Liaodong Army.
After rectified, Wu Sangui was completely cruel this time. The generals and Ma Dazhi were attracted to them and shouted to them, "This battle is related to the reputation of our officers and soldiers. Although the thief army is sharp, after all, there are less than 2,000 people, and we have three The army is more than the enemy's strength, but the battle looks like this, won't it lose the face of our officers and soldiers? If we can't defeat this thief army today, how can we go back to see those fathers and elders in the future, and how can we explain to the current emperor?
It's all cheered up for me! This time, our whole army is on the pressure to annihilate this group of thieves here in a war. If anyone dares not to spare his life and rush forward, then I know you, but I don't know you! I personally supervise the battle. If anyone retreats without listening to the golden sound, then wait for me to chop down your heads!"
After all, Wu Sangui is young and still a little bloody. Under the consecutive defeats, Wu Sangui also got really angry. This time, he ordered his subordinates fiercely, and the generals did not dare to refute it. They could only admit that they were unlucky. Anyway, they were soldiers. They deserve to die and did not die for thousands of years. Wu Sangui, the general, was really angry. They have to fight to the death.
6,000 to 2,000. If they fight hard, they may not be their opponents. The men outside the gate have always not lacked courage. If they are in a hurry, the rabbit will also bite.
So just after noon, Wu Sangui launched another fierce attack. This time, he sent almost all his troops all at once. The cavalry was on the left, Ma Dazhi's men and horses were on the right, and the main force was in the middle, and they went to Liu Yaoben's position together.
Xiao Tianjian looked at the situation ahead through the telescope and nodded repeatedly. With the ability of the guard division, he repelled Wu Sangui's three or four attacks in a row in a morning, which made him very satisfied. So far, he has seen that Wu Sangui had a large number of casualties, but the two battalions led by Liu Yaoben lost. It is very small, and there should be room for persistence.
When he saw Wu Sangui launch another large-scale attack, Li Xin finally couldn't help suggesting, "It's almost done!" Wu Sangui is going to gamble! It's time to send a signal to the brothers over there!"
Xiao Tianjian looked at the situation of the battlefield in front of him again and shook his head slightly and said, "Wait! Let Wu Sangui's morale be discouraged first! In this way, it will be easier to defeat them!"
This time, Wu Sangui's offensive was indeed much more fierce than in the morning. The soldiers were ordered to die and could not turn back. They were only allowed to attack forward! Wu Sangui took hundreds of family members to supervise the battle behind, and divided half of the family members to join the frontal attack sequence to enhance the strength of his generals. At the same time, it also showed that he even the family members had devoted themselves to the battlefield, and this battle could only win but not lose.
Looking at these officers and soldiers rolling in from three directions, Liu Yaoben's eyebrows were also slightly locked. He immediately ordered Yan Shuting to go to the left wing dispatch, responsible for blocking the attack of more than 1,000 cavalry of the officers and soldiers, while another battalion named Zhang Emao was transferred to the right side to be responsible for the defense of the right side, and he himself came to the front line to supervise the battle. To resist the most fierce frontal attack.
The war quickly entered the level of incandescent. The chest wall around the Xingtian Army's square array is not a strong fortification at all. The shallow trench outside the chest wall is not enough to stop the attack of the officers and soldiers, but it can provide some protection for the soldiers of the Xingtian Army. That's all right, but only with this temporary defense line, Liu Yaoben's men and generals have played the tenacious style they inherited from the Iron Bone Camp.
Before the officers and soldiers approached, the gunners who did not need to hide their strength got angry together and loaded them quickly. Almost a series of starting cannons were fired, and the solid bullets were roaring out one by one. Even if they began to load them again, a distance of more than 200 steps, for the forced crazy officers and soldiers It's very close, not to mention the roaring of the cavalry. It won't take long for the march alone to rush through these 200 steps, so the fastest chance to provide the gunners to reload is only three times. This is already the best result of Xing Tianjun's diligent practice. It is impossible to shoot a few more rounds of cannons.
Therefore, the gunners can be said to have used their whole body's solution. When reloading, the action is dazzling, but when the officers and soldiers rushed to the front, they only completed three volleys. The first two rounds of volleys were loaded with solid bullets, but because the land in this area was relatively soft, after the shells landed. Generally, it hits the ground and is not an effective bouncing bullet. If the land is frozen in winter, the power of the bouncing bouncing bullet will be stronger, but now the first two rounds of shells have not killed many officers and soldiers.
At this time, the officers and soldiers also exerted their strength, basically ignoring the shells that flew into their crowd and fired a bloody alley, and continued to shout forward, but the third round of salute still caused great casualties to the officers and soldiers. At the time of the third round of volley, the officers and soldiers had already entered. Within dozens of steps of the Xingtian Army, all the three-pound cannons were filled with grape bombs. After shooting in s, there were 20 or 30 thumb-sized bullets at a time, and it was a large area to fly out, and it was full of power. The officers and soldiers who rushed up from the front could be said to be cut to the ground, and even ran through two people. The officers and soldiers who had to rush to it flew with flesh and blood.
On this day, the weather was good and the wind was also very weak, so that after the war began, the position of the Xing Tianjun was completely shrouded in gunpowder smoke. The intensive shooting made the gunpowder smoke rising from the muzzle and the gun mouth could not dissipate in a short time, which caused great difficulties for the targeting of the gunners and gunners of the Xing Tianjun, making They can only carry out a general aiming launch through gunpowder smoke, and the accuracy rate has been reduced a lot. However, even so, when the officers and soldiers approached the front of the Xingtian army, they still paid a lot of price.
However, after entering the distance of the exchange of fire, the officers and soldiers also rose together. The three-eyed bullets, birds and crossbows greeted the large array of the Xing Tianjun, and overwhelmingly fell into the Xing Tianjun array. This time, the counterattack of the officers and soldiers was also very fierce, which made many of the members of the Xingtian Army in the array were shot. Or they were injured by an arrow. Although the chest armor provided effective protection for their torso, their limbs were inevitably injured. Many soldiers injured their limbs and insisted on minor injuries. However, the serious injuries could only be robbed into the array and handed over to the medical soldiers for treatment. Therefore, at the same time of killing a large number of officers and soldiers, Liu Yaoben and his subordinates. The soldiers have also suffered considerable losses. After all, the absolute number of enemies far exceeds them, and the number of archers and firemen in the army naturally exceeds them. Even if the fire and arrows of these officers and soldiers are not as sharp as those of the Xingtian Army, after all, bows and arrows still have the advantage of firing rate far exceeding that of birds, in a short time. A qualified archer can launch more than a dozen arrows in a row, but no matter how the fireman is trained, it is impossible for them to increase their shooting speed too much, so after the two armies approached, the number of bullets exported by the officers soon suppressed the fireman of Xing Tianjun.
