Chapter 232 Like killing chickens and dogs(1/2)
Lao Huihui's eyes were red with blood, his fingers were pinched white, and his forehead was leaping blue veins. ≥,
In less than half an hour, the rebels launched their desperate charges again and again, but until now, they have only broken through two walls of resisting horses, and there is a wall of resisting horses between them and the official army. However, they have also paid a tragic price to break through these two walls of resisting horses, at least thousands of brothers were killed and more injured.
"Stick for a while, and hold on for a while, we can break through the last wall of resisting horses, break into the official army's cannon formation, musket formation, and kill them one of them." Lao Huihui shouted.
He Yilong was much more awake than Lao Huihui. He replied loudly, "The closer the distance of the cannons of the government army, the stronger the lethality. Haven't you seen that the brothers who fell in front of the second horse-rejecting wall are more than twice as many as those in front of the first? If you have to take the third horse-rejecting horse with hundreds of cannons and thousands of muskets, you will be afraid that you will have to fill the lives of thousands of brothers!"
"What's more, the officers and soldiers have also had thousands of cavalry on their side. Master Ma, these officers are too hard to bite and cannot be paid."
"What do you think of? Should we surrender to the official army?" Lao Huihui asked angrily.
"Let's retreat and go in another direction. If these official troops dare to chase them, then we will turn around and kill them." Grie said with his eyes.
Lao Huihui was full of reluctance. He couldn't figure out why these official troops were so strong. The real Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and his face remained unchanged. Their cannons and guns were also outrageously strong. The firing intervals of firearms were astonishingly short, and the power of the shells was so powerful.
In front of the Nine-Headed Bird formation, countless arrows were inserted on the ground, just like the ground was covered with feathered arrows, and there were many javelins mixed in between. The feathered arrow javelins of the bandits also caused a lot of losses to the Nine-Headed Bird.
However, with the protection of shield soldiers and cotton-armored iron helmets, they prevented most of the attacks. Most of the arrows could not penetrate the reinforced cotton-armor, but the javelin and hand axes had great lethality.
Every time a nine-headed bird fell, someone would immediately carry him away, and someone would take over his position. Even ordinary nine-headed birds would basically use muskets. When facing the dense enemy, their clumsy shooting skills didn't matter.
Most of the nine-headed birds that were carried down were only injured, and there were few cases of direct deaths with armor protection, but if the injured were not treated in time, it was very dangerous. Fortunately, the nine-headed birds had special military doctors, and the soldiers were mostly taught first aid, and they also brought a lot of medicines and first aid kits with the battalion.
At the beginning of the battle, the military doctor built a field hospital in the woods behind the position, set up tents, set up operating tables, and a special stretcher team. The injured soldiers were carried off the battlefield in time and sent to the back, and treated according to priorities.
Several wounded soldiers stopped the blood after bandage. They refused to stay behind and returned to the front of the formation with their weapons. "I can't put out the muskets anymore, I can still hold the shield!" A musketman stood in front of his previous musket companions with a shield. "This little injury is nothing."
"Good example, you have earned a medal of loyalty and courage." President Binding shouted at him, "I will ask you for merit in the future. I will ask you for a medal of military merit."
Feng Sheng looked at the soldiers on the formation and was a little worried.
"Old Deng, let my cavalry go out and rush for a while. Brothers are under too much pressure, and the cannon can't stand it."
Deng Yuan shook his head. "You have to protect the wings of the position, otherwise the bandits would have to be surrounded from both sides. Fortunately, we chose a good place, which is in front of the river. There are trees and hillsides on both sides. You cavalry can guard both sides well, otherwise the bandits would have been able to withstand it. Wait, the bandits are still very fierce now, and you can't play any role in rushing out now."
"What do we mean that we can't play a role? Isn't it that underestimates our cavalry?" Feng Sheng yelled with his eyes.
"Old Feng, you know I don't mean that. Your cavalry's attack is wrong at this time. We can hold on for a while. The thieves will definitely not be able to withstand such damage and will definitely not be able to hold on first. Remember the task assigned by the commander to us, block and intercept the thieves here, and wait for the commander to lead his troops to come."
"But the brothers in the teaching camp suffered great casualties. What a great young man, I actually broke here today."
"There are always sacrifices in war," Deng Yuan sighed. During the half day of fighting, no less than a hundred people died in the teaching battalion, and more were injured. Such casualties can be said to be the second most serious casualties in the Battle of Lannigou since the Jiutou army.
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
In the distance, a horn suddenly sounded.
Ma Huihui was still arguing with Ge Liyan whether to insist on attacking or retreat immediately. At this time, a cavalry ran over the rear and shouted loudly, "Report, Mr. Ma, Mr. He, the nine-headed bird has caught up. The nine-headed bird's handsome flag has arrived, and Liu Jun has arrived in person. Mr. He and Mr. Lin of the rear army have both been defeated, and the old camp has also been dispersed. Now Liu Jun is leading his troops to kill him. Mr. He and Mr. Lin invite the two leaders to lead their troops back to the rescue."
"Why did Liu Jun come so quickly?" Lao Huihui asked in surprise.
"Why did the rear army be defeated so quickly?" He Yilong was frightened.
"Liu Jun's chariot formation is in front, with cannons on the chariot, followed by musketeers, and infantry on both sides. They rushed over, and the guns and cannons were opened, and no one could stop them!" The bandit who reported the news said with a sad face.
He was also in the rebel army for many years and had been through the battlefield for a long time, but he had never seen such a style of fighting. Many mules carried many large carts to rush forward, followed by many musketeers. The carts were carrying cannons, firing one cannons, firing one cannons, and then firing another cannons, firing another cannons and firing another cannon.
He Jin and Lin Yangcheng led the troops of the rear army to form a formation against the enemy, but the official army's artillery and fire guns directly smashed their formation. The two leaders led their troops to counterattack, but before they could reach the fore, they were defeated by the artillery and fire guns.
The bandits were not as elite as the Nine-Headed Birds, and they lacked firearms to win, and even had very few bows and arrows. They fought in a hurry in the wild, and there was not even a battalion trench. How could they beat Nine-Headed Birds?
"Ming Jin, withdraw your troops and retreat!" Ma Huihui waved his fists and shouted unwillingly.
The sound of gold sounded, and the moraleless bandits who had been hit by artillery fire heard the order to withdraw the troops, and they all turned around quickly and ran away with relief.
When Feng Sheng saw this, he laughed and said, "It must be the marquis who have arrived. These bandits still want to run away, so he doesn't ask Grandpa Feng. I'm telling me that the cavalry battalion will get on the horse and chase him!"
The bandits on the opposite side yelled and stopped their troops. However, the Nine-Headed Bird blew the horn of the attack.
Feng Sheng personally rode his horse and charged forward, and took the lead. The two thousand cavalry suddenly rushed towards the retreating bandit like thunder. Feng Sheng rode his horse and waved a short gun in his hand. He shot a bandit who was behind. A blood flower emerged from the bandit's back and fell to the ground.
The nine-headed cavalry roared loudly, chasing the horses quickly, and were twenty or thirty steps away. They raised their hands and shot down a bandit, and then replaced it with a short gun.
Two thousand cavalrymen entered the flock of sheep like tigers, and the bandits could not stop them at all. When one after another, the bandits fell under the pistols of the Nine-Headed Cavalry, the bandits who were originally just retreating began to flee around, and the retreat turned into a defeat.
Liu Jun led his troops to the battlefield at the critical moment.
The nine-headed bird suddenly appeared behind the bandits, and the bandits were caught off guard. Liu Jun ordered the vans of the baggage battalion to carry cannons in front, and the musketeers of the camp advanced immediately after the vans, while the infantry of each killer team guarded the left and right wings.
More than 10,000 nine-headed birds suddenly came out. The bandits were quickly defeated. Liu Jun led his team to drive away the defeated soldiers and pursue them constantly.
After climbing over a hill, Liu Jun saw the mountains and fields ahead of him were full of bandits.
"Kill, attack the banner of the bandits' central army!" Liu Jun saw the banner of the bandits' central army in the distance through the Qianli Miles Miles. He immediately ordered to attack the central army.
The vans and cannons in the baggage battalion opened the way, and the bandits retreated one after another. They did not intercept them at all. Instead, they made way for the nine-headed bird to kill and spread out a wide passage.
Lao Huihui was skilled in archery and horses and outstanding in martial arts. When he saw Liu Jun's handsome flag coming forward in the distance, new and old hatreds surged up together, leading the most elite cavalry under his command to ride his horses.
Liu Jun saw a cavalry coming from afar, knowing that it must be the elite bandits, and saw the old Huihui flag in the cavalry formation. He immediately ordered the assault to stop and form a van.
Upon hearing the order, Zhang Guodong immediately made more than 200 chariots from the baggage battalion form a chariot array on all sides, and surrounded the rest of the battalions.
Lao Huihui led the battle camp to fight, but unexpectedly, the official army quickly changed its formation and formed a car city.
"Fire the cannon!" Zhang Guodong looked at the bandits and cavalry that were slaying and ordered loudly.
The sound of attack sounded, causing the flag to dance. Just as the Folang machine cannons on dozens of vans on the enemy were roaring one by one, the musketeers standing on the van also pulled off the sheet machine together.
The cannon lead bullets were bombarded in a fan shape, and there were countless direct shots of lead.
The old Huihui cavalry suddenly fell down and fell countless times.
Lao Huihui quickly sent an order to divide his cavalry into two parts and walk towards the two wings to attack Liu Jun from the side. As a result, they circled half a circle. As soon as they approached the range of artillery fire on both sides of the chariot array, before they could shoot arrows, the nine-headed bird's cannons rang out continuously, and another piece of them fell down with the rumbling sound.
Ma Huihui and his men kept circling around the car camp, but it was like a dog biting a hedgehog, and he had no idea how to get his mouth. Every time he got closer to the range of the artillery, the official army's artillery immediately roared and knocked them down.
He Yilong gathered a group of soldiers and saw Lao Huihui attacking the Jiutou Bird's car array like a suicide. The Jiutou Bird's car array was as stable as a rock. He sighed and shouted, "Go!" and rushed to the east without looking back.
When the disaster comes, each flew away.
After Lao Huihui's battle camp lost hundreds of troops, the most fierce bandits could no longer withstand. They no longer obeyed Lao Huihui's orders and began to escape.
He Yilong's escape, coupled with the collapse of the Lao Huihui Battle Camp, eventually led to no more bandits resisting on the entire battlefield, and they rushed to flee.
At this time, the cavalry led by Feng Sheng had already rushed all the way, killing teams of troops and horses, and finally gathered with Liu Jun.
"Feng Sheng, bring your cavalry and stop He Yilong!" Liu Jun gave an order to Feng Sheng who arrived.
"Yes!" Feng Sheng replied loudly, then turned his horse's head and chased the cavalry battalion eastward again.
Liu Jun asked the car formation to open, and the battalions quickly divided the battlefield.
The battle has evolved into a game of captive capture, with 20,000 nine-headed bird soldiers intercepting and 70,000 bandits on the battlefield.
Although the number of bandits was several times that of Nine-Headed Birds, at this time, they had no fighting spirit and were only concerned about running around. A twelve-man team of Nine-Headed Birds can sometimes capture hundreds of bandits.
Especially when the officers and soldiers of the Nine-Headed Bird shouted the slogan of abandoning weapons and not killing them, more and more bandits threw away their weapons, squatted on the ground honestly, and surrendered with their heads in their arms.
Teams of prisoners were taken back. Then, under the supervision of the Nine-headed Bird, a temporary camp was established and a prisoner camp was established to imprison them.
Ge Li thought that He Yilong had not escaped much, but was caught by Feng Sheng. His troops were defeated by the rush. He Yilong was finally surrounded and surrendered. Lao Hui Ma Shouying fled with the remaining troops, but was also chased by Liu Jun's personal cavalry. He would rather die than surrender, and was finally shot to death. The body was taken back.
King Zuo Jin He Jin and King Lin Yangcheng were captured in troubled times.
By dusk, the battle had basically ended, and only the cavalry battalion was still searching for fleeing bandits everywhere.
"What's the name of this river?" Liu Jun looked at the small river filled with corpses under the setting sun.
"Yehe."
"Catch up all the bodies and dig a hole and bury them." Liu Jun ordered.
Just between Huoshan, Shucheng and Tongcheng counties, on the Ye River more than 50 miles away from Luzhen Pass, Jiutiao intercepted and annihilated tens of thousands of bandits who were trying to break out with the strength of a single army.
A temporary camp built by prisoners has been initially formed, with tens of thousands of prisoners imprisoned in the camp.
"Liu Xiyao's body has also been found." Chang Sheng reported to Liu Jun.
"Then all the five thieves of Ge Zuo escaped, it's great." Liu Jun nodded with satisfaction. Old Hui Hui Ma Shouying refused to surrender and was beaten to death. Liu Xiyao died directly in the battle formation. With the captive He Jin, He Yilong and Lin Yangcheng, the leaders of Ge Zuo's fifth camp were all captured.
"Put He Yilong, He Jin, and Lin Yangcheng out of beheading, and the head-level prisoner camp was shown to the public!"
"Care now?"
"Kill now!" Liu Jun has always been ruthless to those bandit leaders. After surrendering or capturing, the bandit leaders such as He Yilong also took the initiative to ask for the Nine-Headed Bird. However, Liu Jun was not moved by such a proposal. He was not other official troops, such as He Renlong and Zuo Liangyu. He was very accepting of those bandit leaders who were willing to surrender. In the team of those generals, there were a large number of original bandit leaders and bandit soldiers.
They accepted these people and even asked them to be granted official positions.
Liu Jun looked down on these bandits and was even more unwilling to let these bandits enter his team.
He didn't want to give these people any chance, so he cut off the head of the bandit leader, which was his Liu Jun's achievements.
"Immediately report the victory to Fengyang and Luzhenguan and tell them that we have pacified the bandits!"
The leader of the five thieves of the Left were cut off and hung on the gate of the prisoner camp to show the public. The messenger who reported the victory rode his horse out of the camp and reported to both sides.
Lu Zhenguan, Lu Jiude was playing with a jade pendant and was very happy. He was suddenly alarmed by a burst of hurried footsteps, "What's going on?"
"When I go back to my father-in-law, Zhennanhou sent someone to report the victory."
"Report to win? What kind of win?"
"Just today, Zhennan Hou led the Chu army to defeat the Fifth Battalion of Gezuo on the Yehe River between Huoshan and Shucheng, wiped out tens of thousands of troops from the bandit army, and killed the Fifth Battalion of Gezuo!"
