Chapter 954: Meng Dongsha's tight wind (2)
Amid the rumbling shelling, the Liangzhou Guan Jian (Kuang Qi) led by Li Mingda finally gave up the pursuit of the turbulent soldiers under the city with some regrets, and could only watch them gathering again in the dry moat to form an irregular lineup.
A few Guan Jian cavalry who chased the superiors without regard to orders wanted to continue to drive forward were driven forward by several rows of thieves who were driven out from the inside of the door against the wall. They used the height difference between the moat and the crowd and fired firearms one after another. However, only a few surviving cavalrymen left turned around and fled back.
"It's a thief that the court thinks it's so scary!"
While controlling the horse and running, Li Mingda said with a solemn expression and then ordered to the left and right:
"Why do the trumpet Xu Jin, don't fight in love, quickly turn to the south of the city... and follow me to defeat the thief's power!"
With the continuous sound of snails, Liangzhou Guanjian, who was almost unreduced in momentum like a torrent, quickly stretched out the formation and stepped through the camp that had been broken through many places and appeared in a mess, and the distance between the corpse and the battlefield under the city wall; it quickly flew away like a tide in the southeast corner of the city wall.
It seemed that it only took half an hour for these Liangzhou officials to fight from the east of the city to the south of the city. Most of the cavalry and their horses were sweating all over. However, the delays and delays in the east of the city appeared in front of them, and they quickly retreated from the Xianyang Army camp, and were waiting for the tight array with swords, guns, bows and crossbows.
This time, there was no more bluffing or evading the important and ignoring the power. Looking at the Xianyang Army camp, who had been ignited everywhere, Liangzhou Guan Jian was almost familiar with the road and tacit understanding. At a hundred steps away from the maximum range, the people and horses suddenly neighed and split left and right, turning into the crane wings that had crossed the Taiping Army's multiple formations and two tests.
The light cavalry, which stretched out like birds spreading their wings, flew past the side of the Taiping Army array, raised their horn bows with arrows in their hands, and radiated like rain almost without interruption. In the more than a dozen breaths that were hovering, they were already shooting out four or five to seven or eight arrows in one air like flowing water.
The Taiping Army side array, which responded with a stable and internal hollow square array, did not hesitate to chase these speeding troops in the sound of commands and whistles. With a pre-set advance shooting range, he crossed the white soldiers with a gun with a crouching posture with a slum and a squat, and kept releasing wave after wave of stacked smoke and fine projectiles.
For a moment, the arrow feathers and the scorching lead were intertwined. As the white feathers trembled and blood splashed, the Taiping Army formation was busy revolving and releasing gunmen and white soldiers squatting back and forth; or the knights that were scattering in the speeding, suddenly the people and horses were neighing and suddenly fell to the ground and were trampled over without interruption, or they lost their body on their backs and were dragged out of the queue...
As the third brother of the Wang brothers in Guangzhou, he is also the only single dog left. Wang Shengui, who was originally in the fourth row of standby and responsible for transferring medicine and delivering muskets, has also stood in the first row outside the formation to face the enemy's situation directly with the sequence of substitutes. The white soldiers who were responsible for half-squatting and holding licenses to cover them have become sparse.
And those enemy cavalry that seemed to be endless were still in front of them, constantly circling and circling by and throwing out a continuous rain of arrows; the blood of the comrades fell one after another also splattered on his face and body many times, weakening and oppressing his spirit and morale bit by bit, making the loading movements in his hands and feet tremble, becoming more and more stagnant and slow.
However, he finally made a mistake and failed to remove the clearing and filling the compressed medicine. He radiated out amid the already messy commands and whistles. Then, in the sudden burst of sparks and smoke, his head, face and arms turned black, and then fell on others, and the standard long gun in his hand collapsed from the front end into several long fragments.
The next moment, a wave arrow penetrated his iron-clad shoulder armor and nailed it into his arms. Half of his body was about to lose strength because of the pain. But instead, he suddenly woke up, just like recalling the instincts that taught the instincts that were carved into their bones with bamboo whips. He grabbed a musket beside him who fell to the ground and moaned his companion next to him, and put it on his barely lifted bloody arm, and buckled it out to the light and shadow of the people and horses in the smoke and dust dozens of steps away.
Then before he could confirm the results, he was dragged back by several big hands at the same time, and squeezed through the gap that the team left sideways; and appeared in the open space where many injured people were lying down and relying on many bodies. More than a dozen rescue soldiers with red sleeves tied with arms and red sleeves were holding knife and scissors, cotton yarn bandages and ointment posts, which aroused a series of screams and pains.
Although Wang Shengui had already shed half of his body blood, a rescue nurse then applied scald plaster to his face and arms, and checked and confirmed that the arrow cluster on his arm had been embedded in his shoulder blades. He could only temporarily cut the arrow shaft and paste it with the arrow cluster with the plaster, and then wrapped it with a fixed bandage to deal with it for emergency treatment. Then, as a minor injured person with some movement power, he joined the auxiliary sequence of loading the fire gun with one-handed.
All of this seemed to have experienced many things for Wang Shengui, but for the entire south battlefield, this was just a matter of flint. New changes appeared again in the frontal battle. In the smoke and dust that was like a drifting wave, there was another dull sound of running treading again.
The next moment, a cavalry with a man-equipped armored armored cavalry and a ferocious beast face, was like a divine weapon descending from the sky, circling back and forth from the large hollow formations surrounding the Taiping Army, and only scale armor and iron armored armored cavalry emerged. This was also the killer move that Li Ming and Dalai Lama thought was the final decision - the Xiliang armored cavalry, which was also the last masterpiece of armored cavalry in this era.
It was a skillful and war-friendly man who followed Duke Yi Chao to kick out the Tubo vassals and fought for many years. He also rode the mixed breed of Liangzhou horses and Tubo horses, which were produced on the Guzang grassland. This was the only way to bear the full load and the rushing outbreak of the armored horses. Therefore, when they appeared in the battle, it was also the final moment to decide the outcome and the success or failure.
Almost accompanied by the establishment of the Guiyi Army, the huge foundation of "exhausting Yiwu in the west and connecting Lingwu in the east; having more than 4,000 miles of land, a family with a million household registration; the mountains and rivers of the six counties were already old, their children who were skilled in archery and horse inherited their military armor and professions, and continued to become an important force for Guo Yijun to intimidate the surrounding internal and external groups.
Later, the Guiyi Army decided to advance eastward. With the full support of the imperial court represented by Zheng Tang, they all added armor and equipment accumulated in the northwest towns as armed forces. The felt and leather that were originally used to defend arrows on the war horses were replaced with real iron-breasted breasts, iron-breasted pockets and chicken necks. Now it is the core essence of the Li family's troops. However, considering that they were not very useful in the battle in Chang'an City, they specifically used the actions of supervising the Taiping Army in the south of the capital.
Now, in front of these ferocious iron streams that suddenly appeared together, the Taiping Army arrays that were still firing guns seemed to have been frightened and shaken, almost turning back and looking back for a long distance; but they have reorganized a new sagging formation, like beach rocks after the ebb, revealing rows of thick and short tubes mounted on the wheel hubs, as well as gray cloth armored soldiers holding small flags.
Although they were still unable to hide their faces in front of the rushing Armored Riders, their hands and feet were trembling, but they still followed the instinctive movements of daily exercises and quickly completed the final preparations, and then lowered their bodies one after another. When Li Mingda saw this scene in the rear array, he also jumped in his heart and his face changed drastically and shouted:
"Accelerate blowing, rush forward..."
"Scattered and dispersed, avoiding concentration on the front line..."
"Blow the trumpet, and the other two wings are cruising on the side..."
Then, almost one after another, the shaking sounds and roars on the face completely drowned out all the sounds that Li Mingda and his generals could make on the battlefield.
Among the Liangzhou Arctic Cavalry, Li Guangjin, the son of Li Mingzhen, the son of Li Mingzhen, the nephew of Li Mingda, was also in the fierce reaction of the mount under him being frightened and kicked up. He could see the dark red flames and lead-gray clouds in the thick tube of the other party, as well as the dense trajectory that broke through the air, scattered in the horrified and frustrated Arctic Cavalry.
The next moment, the chest and flesh of his mount under his crotch exploded with blood and flesh, and then it continued to penetrate and tear one of his arms and calf. Then, the man and horse fell to the ground and rolled for more than ten steps. The Liangzhou Armored Cavalry, who were interrupted by this oncoming blow, also seriously dispersed the most precious speed and impulse as the sudden frightened mounts of people who were suddenly frightened, squeezing and neighing.
Therefore, after a few breaths, only a few dozen cavalry could rush into the Taiping artillery teams according to inertia and momentum, and drove them away. However, their momentum was blocked and blocked by the relatively heavy artillery mount and narrow position gap, and they could only jump up, and then became the target of fire to the artillery team after they became free fire.
The sudden volley of artillery teams certainly disrupted the attack of armored cavalry equipment, but other Liangzhou Guanjian who were fighting on the rear side of the wings had already been able to rush forward without hesitation. After paying the price of being knocked down one after another, he also rushed into a dense array of swords and spears and spears, and fought hard to fight left and right.
However, the rows of tinder and explosive bombs that were thrown out from the inside also exploded one after another in the queue they subsequently broke into, creating a short-lived battlefield partition again; and just such a moment of partition and buffering was enough to regain the bursting and dispersed arrays, and use the guns and other sharp blades in their hands to stab the horse's belly and legs, and overturn it to the ground or drive it out with bruises.
After a while, Li Mingda, who had confirmed that various attack methods, including the Armored Cavalry, could no longer achieve more results and could not continue to change the situation, could only look at the Taiping Army formation, which was still maintaining the basic lineup in the battlefield, and ordered the retreating snail.
But when he slowly recovered from his unstoppable agitation, his heart was inevitably filled with pain and regret. Because even after most of the day in the east and south of the city, he lost about a thousand cavalry, including more than one hundred precious armored cavalry; and the killing enemy infantry array was only half a dozen. No matter how calculated, this exchange ratio was definitely not considered an advantage or advantage.
However, what made him even more angry was that no matter how he fought at the city, the Xianyang Army and Yaozhou Tuanjie, who were the targets of rescue, were just sitting and watching in the camp. If they could take the initiative and respond in time, they would be afraid that the results of the battle would be greater, and the results and losses of the battle between the south of the city would be better, right?
