Chapter 582 Everyone is a gambler

In the white mist, a flame suddenly flashed!

A moment later, a huge roar came, and at the same time, an iron ball had already smashed into the dense queue of the government troops! The centers of the battle formations in front and behind seemed to be swept by a strong wind, and the whistling shells were bouncing through the crowd.

No one saw how the shells bounced. When the people around him came to their senses, the dust that the shells bounced on the ground had risen violently, and many people had already poured into the ground. A sergeant's helmet exploded, blood splattered, and the person fell softly to the side.

After a while, the frightened crowd began to riot. However, the overall situation of the official army in front of the army was not greatly affected and was still advancing towards the front line!

The rebels only fired one shot first, as if they were determining the location of the shelling.

There were tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry on the formation, and no generals responded at this time. Several arrays hit by artillery became chaotic. The generals nearby saw were just shocked and surprised. People were watching the crowds of rioting and screaming in confusion.

After a moment, suddenly, behind a small lake pond opposite, many dazzling fires flashed on the flat hillside! In an instant, many arrays in front and behind were penetrated in the crowd formation of the official army. After less than a blink of an eye (second), the cannon sounded "boom boom boom..." and the flames on the opposite side continued to shine.

This is a round of more than forty heavy artillery shots! The rebel artillery positions should be lined up with three rows of artillery, and the flashes in the mist and smoke were very neat.

On the official army formation, many arrays were penetrated by artillery shells, and hundreds of households with at least 10,000 or 20,000 people were affected. On the grand army formation, rows of wheat were blown down everywhere by a strong wind.

A huge terrifying scream and a painful call for help suddenly filled the crowd. The dry mud was stirred up by shells, and the thick dust had not yet dissipated.

The frightened war horse neighed and ran on the formation. A war horse raised its front hooves, neighed in panic, and suddenly rushed out uncontrollably. A wounded soldier's legs were broken, and even the bones were exposed from the wound. His hand was pressed on his thighs, his face twisted at his bones, and screamed loudly and fearfully. Some people who hit the shells were lying motionless in the pool of blood.

The government army encountered such a situation in the front. Without waiting for the general's order, the soldiers involuntarily stopped marching everywhere...

Under the Central Army Commander with the word "Xu" written on it, Xu Huizu sat on the horse, with his eyes wide open. He couldn't speak for a long time and just stared at what had just happened. After a while, he reached out and rubbed his eyes hard, so that he could make sure that it was not an illusion of a dazed expression just now.

"He | Mom |! What's this?" Xu Huizu said a long time ago.

Is this his mother a cannonball? That's just a meteorite falling from the sky!

Xue Lu next to him was very calm. Xue Lu responded helplessly: "A such a huge secret formation will be shot by the rebels' heavy artillery, and the casualties will be very large. We must have to set up the diffuse formation, and the distance between the formations must be very large. In this way, that kind of cannon is just an iron ball..."

Seeing the chaos in front of him, in a blink of an eye, the "light" in Xu Huizu's heart suddenly seemed to be poured with a basin of cold water and was immediately extinguished! He was already panicked before he could taste the huge emotional contrast.

Don't panic!

"The heavy artillery on the rebel artillery formation is now loading. There is a second and third time... all-round shooting. As long as the official army formation is still within range, it will be subject to artillery attacks." Xue Lu's voice said.

"I know!" Xu Huizu roared angrily.

It was mainly because it was too sudden! Xu Huizu never dreamed that this would happen when the two armies approached. The tactics and steps he had already thought of in his mind were suddenly invalidated, and there was only a mess left in his mind.

The head coach of the Ming army at this time probably didn't have to fight in person, and the biggest function of the head general was to boost morale; the most important ability of the head coach of the Ming Dynasty is to make decisions in front of the battlefield!

No matter what situation is encountered, the main general must immediately come up with ideas, make a series of tactical steps, and make a decision!

Xu Huizu temporarily abandoned all feelings and forced himself to suppress the inner turmoil. He was pondering and trying his best to find any solutions.

The generals around were waiting silently, and even Xue Lu and Tan Zhong didn't say anything.

Deadly time! Every blink of an eye is related to life and death. Calm down, calm down...

As Xue Lu said, as long as the rebels' heavy artillery range is still within the range of the rebels' heavy artillery, the official army will continue to suffer such major losses! A round of shooting has caused a large number of confusion, disintegration and casualties. If the dense formation is placed here and waiting for the artillery to be bombarded again and again, it is estimated that the rebels' infantry and cavalry will collapse by themselves!

Xu Huizu pinched the back of his left hand hard on his fingers, thinking solemnly and nervously.

A countermeasure must be made immediately! The formation cannot be placed here and wait for death. The first solution he thought of was of course Xue Lu's previous statement, and he retreated immediately. But Xu Huizu soon thought of another method: attack!

The army is in a state of collapse, and if the troops retreat in front of the formation, they will definitely be defeated! If the troops retreat at this time, this battle is destined to be defeated; but now the rhythm of retreat is deployed immediately, it is very likely that the rear army can preserve a lot of strength; even the remaining troops may be able to fight again... If morale has not completely collapsed.

And attack is to fight! This is a chance to turn defeat into victory. After all, Xu Huizu had already arranged an offensive formation before the battle, and deployed up to 30,000 to 40,000 to 40,000 roundabout attack forces behind Hongmu Mountain on the left wing.

Victory and defeat are often in a blink of an eye. If the general is sincere, tenacious and determined, a miracle will happen!

However, this method certainly has huge risks. Can it quickly defeat the enemy's front line? At the moment, the battle method that continues to consume and slowly gains an advantage is no longer suitable for the situation at this time! The attack must be fought quickly and break through quickly... at least it must be quickly advanced to the rebel artillery formation and seize the artillery position that destroyed the rebel army!

Once the attack cannot be rapid, the official army will not only be defeated in the battle, but will also lose even worse, and will not lose a penny!

Xu Huizu weighed the pros and cons of pain...

"Boom boom boom boom boom..." Another round of dense cannon sounded. Xu Huizu's heart trembled suddenly with the huge cannon sound. When he looked up at his large array, many shells had pierced through countless arrays again. The official army's positions were like Shura Fields, screams and shouts one after another, and chaos broke out everywhere. Some arrays had already collapsed and fled.

Two rounds of artillery can actually defeat some elite troops? This is the elite army guarding the capital by the Ming Dynasty! This situation is probably not only because of the sharp artillery of the rebels, but also because of the low morale of the official army, and the spread of the mentality of life throughout the army.

"Attack!" Xu Huizu gritted his teeth and suddenly said.

After hearing this, the civil and military officials around him looked at Xu Huizu's side faces with various expressions.

"In this battle, our Ming Dynasty King's Army must not lose! If the official army loses, it will not be morale to fight again. The survival of the Ming Dynasty and the right and wrong ethics of the world are here to fight!" Xu Huizu said with a cold expression.

The generals responded seriously and firmly: "Abide by the command of the general!"

Xu Huizu ordered: "Continue to advance forward in the front row. Transport all the heavy artillery to the front row and set off firecrackers on the hillside! The main forces of the cavalry in each unit will attack! Take down the artillery formation at all costs."

"Get orders!"

The personal soldiers took the order flag signed by Xu Huizu and quickly left the central army and ran to various places. Soon, the central army's drums and trumpets were played again.

Xu Huizu took a deep breath. He felt that his decision was correct! From the overall situation and from the battle, he must not give up this opportunity... The rebel's killer weapon is nothing more than the artillery position; as long as it can be taken down, the official army can regain its advantages. Whether it is in terms of military strength, armored equipment, or battlefield deployment, they are stronger than the rebels! So the official army still has a chance.

At this moment, the drum sounds on the opposite side, "Dongdongdongdong..." and the Ming military music was blowing everywhere. The rebels actually started to advance forward in the entire line!

"King of Han is our king..." A series of shouts came one after another, and amid the light rhythm and joyful military music, the fanatical rebels advanced in line. At this time, there was still mist in the space. Looking at the entire front on the earth, it was far from the beginning and end.

The front lines of the official army gradually began to move forward. Although many brigades were in a mess and were pushing forward with clamor, they were elite troops of the Ming Dynasty after all, and they had not yet reached the point of collapse on the entire line.

The plain clearing between the two sides was extremely wide and less than 200 steps deep! At this time, the space was being swallowed by countless soldiers and became smaller and smaller. On the grand battlefield, both sides used the entire army assault as a tactic, as if two black waves of people were slowly surging and approaching.

"Rumbling..." The sound of horse hooves like continuous thunder sounded. Elite cavalry from all over the official army moved south one after another, and soon passed the infantry formation. The flags fluttered in the air, and the Ming armor shone in pieces under the rising sun, and countless cherry guns and blades rose and fell in the horses.

The sound of horse hooves on the rebels resounded throughout the world, and the rebel cavalry everywhere also launched!

In ordinary large-scale battles, they usually run repeatedly and consume in turn. It may be difficult to decide the outcome all day, until the troops and morale of one of them become increasingly stronger and the defeat gradually emerges...

However, this battle in Zhili was completely different from the previous battles. Even Xu Huizu, the main general, did not expect it at the beginning; his decision to attack with all his might was just a temporary decision.

Less than half an hour after the war started, the two convenient directly put all the capital in a life-and-death decisive battle!

The battle rhythm of this battle became very rapid.
Chapter completed!
