Chapter 885 Fight with me? I'll cripple you in one battle!(2/2)
"Swish!"
A clanging sound came, and the Hu Ben cavalry soldiers hung up the Hu Ben guns one after another, then quickly pulled out the saber and raised it up in one go. In an instant, a dazzling sword light illuminated the entire battlefield.
The sabers used by the Huben cavalry were designed specifically by Zhang Zhun based on scientific research in later generations. When the two armies confronted each other, the sabers might not have much effect, and the sabers were not very good at hand-to-hand combat. However, when the enemy retreated, the sabers had a great effect.
It seems that the role of the Hu Ben Gun in front of us is no longer great. The enemy has completely retreated and has no courage to continue to resist. They can all be eliminated with a sabre. It takes time to reload the Hu Ben Gun and kill the enemy, and the efficiency of killing the enemy is not as powerful as that of the sabre!
"Damn it!"
"Retreat quickly!"
When Yang Sichang saw this scene behind, his face turned blue.
Cao! Is Zhang Zhun, a bastard, going to wipe out his Huguang army? Cao! Do you need to be so cruel? Can't you leave me a way out? Master Zhushi, who is a literati and well-read poetry, can't help but swear in his heart.
"kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
The Huben Army cavalry held up their sabers and roared, and rushed towards the scattered enemy. They rushed into the scattered Huben Army, waved their sabers and slashed left and right, just like cutting melons and vegetables. More cavalrymen galloped all the way, intercepting the retreating Huben Army, and not letting them go back to Longmen Pass.
How could infantry escape the cavalry? What's more, infantry that had been completely broken? As a result, they were naturally chased by the Hu Ben cavalry, with corpses everywhere and blood flowing into a river. Those who ran a little slower became the dead souls of the Hu Ben cavalry. In order to attack Yang Sichang's arrogance, Zhang Zhun would never show mercy.
"It's over..."
"It's over..."
"It's over..."
Seeing his troops behind him being defeated by the Hu Ben cavalry, Yang Sichang felt that his eyes were pitch black, as if he could not see anything clearly. In desperation, he could only quickly turn his horse's head and retreat towards Longmen Pass.
The Huben Army cavalry chased after him, and the Huben Army scattered soldiers ran desperately in front. The two teams were like entangled floods, sweeping towards Longmen Pass. Yang Sichang hurriedly ordered the closing of the door, and even his follow-up troops were not needed. As a result, the closing of the door fell, and all the Huben Army scattered soldiers outside the pass were shot and killed by the Huben Army.
Yang Sichang ordered the continuous firing of cannons to block the Huben Army's cavalry from approaching. He was afraid that the Huben Army would continue to attack the city, so he hurriedly ordered the remnants of the Huben Army to defend the city gate to death. In fact, by this time, the Huben Army's cavalry had long gone away.
After counting the losses, the Huguang Army lost more than 15,000 infantry and fifty cannons. The cannons that attacked, because of the attack of the Hu Ben cavalry, the gunners didn't even want the cannons, so they hurriedly fled.
"Ten thousand five thousand..."
Seeing the casualties reported below, Yang Sichang felt a little numb on his scalp.
In terms of absolute number, such a number is not very large. Ten thousand people are really nothing in large-scale battles. But, it must be known that there are only three thousand cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army! The three thousand cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army caused 15,000 casualties to the Huguang Army in a short battle. What kind of combat power is this? It is simply too terrifying.
Under the attack of the Huben cavalry, the Huben army had no chance to counterattack, and it was completely passively beaten and similar to suicide. Do you think such a battle is depressed? The Huben cavalry has retreated for the time being, but who can be sure whether they will come tomorrow? Longmen Pass is so close to Luoyang, the Huben cavalry can come to greet you at any time.
The Huguang Army originally had only 30,000 people, but 15,000 people were destroyed, and basically lost the ability to continue fighting. What was even more fatal was the psychological blow. The battle of the Hubin Army almost scared the courage of all the Huguang Army. In just a few months, the psychological shadow of the Huguang Army would probably be difficult to recover.
In fact, Yang Sichang felt that after suffering this attack, the Huguang Army would be over. Even if the number of people could be supplemented, its combat effectiveness would not be restored to the past. Not to mention continuing to fight with the Hu Ben Army in the future, even if you hear the name of the Hu Ben Army, you will probably tremble for a while. There is no way, the Hu Ben Army is too cruel.
"This Zhang Zhun!"
Yang Sichang gritted his teeth and said to himself.
There is no doubt that when he left Beijing, Yang Sichang was full of belief in winning. He believed in his ability and believed that he could turn the tide and reverse the unfavorable national trend. In the subsequent battle, he was indeed very positive. Although he did not have very dazzling contributions, in general, it was still smooth.
However, Zhang Zhun's arrival changed all this. Luoyang was destroyed and King Fu was killed, and the blow to him was very tragic. Today, the appearance of the Hu Ben Army cavalry was even more devastating. The Huguang Army he had worked hard to build was gone in a blink of an eye. The three thousand Hu Ben Army cavalry was so difficult to deal with. What about the 30,000 Hu Ben Army? What about the 300,000 Hu Ben Army? It was so terrible!
Thinking of Emperor Chongzhen's trust in him and his original confidence, Yang Sichang felt that his head was getting more and more painful. Emperor Chongzhen and Zhang Zhun seemed to be fighting in his mind, and the fight became more and more intense. Suddenly, a dizzy moment, and when his eyes were dark, he knew nothing.
"Not good!"
"Not good!"
"Governor has fainted!"
The people around Yang Sichang were suddenly in chaos.
