Chapter 289 The overall situation has been decided
A tentative confrontation ended with a crushing defeat in Li Zicheng's army.
The artillery was still roaring, and the projectiles were still plundering in the thief army's camp, and the towering fortifications of the village were already in ruins.
On the earth, blood flowed into a river, and the residual value of broken arms could be seen everywhere. Teams of soldiers in armor and holding sharp swords were stepping into the bloody scenes, killing the remaining bandits.
The gates of Fufeng City were closed, and the left and right camps were closed. Although it was just a tentative confrontation, the result of the crushing defeat was tantamount to this army, which was already mixed with fish and dragons, which was like a bolt from the blue.
They pulled them out of the dream of the world's response not long ago. The cruel reality almost made every Li Zicheng army tremble.
The morale of the army is in turmoil!
Fear and restless!
...
Take his life while he is sick!
When the thief army was in a turmoil, how could Li Xiu miss this opportunity?
"The order to take down the left village of the thief army before sunset!"
When the military order was issued, Li Xiu immediately looked at Li Dingguo standing beside him.
"Lead a battalion of troops and horses to join the cavalry battalion. Before the left village of the bandit army is taken down, no bandit army can be sent to support it!"
"I will obey the order!"
Li Dingguo responded with his fists, turned over and rode away.
"kill!"
Accompanied by the sudden roar of war drums, the shouts of killing soaring into the sky also arose!
Step! Step! Step! Step!
The towering military formation, accompanied by the sound of nearly uniform footsteps, was like a moving towering mountain, with the momentum of suppressing everything, and rushed towards the bandit army camp.
In the military camp, the soldiers of the thief who had barely sorted out their formations under the call of generals at all levels, under such mountainous oppression, all of them were pale and full of fear, and even worse, they were already trembling.
For most of the soldiers of the lower thief army, they were just led by their superiors in a daze. As for why they rebel, what is clearing the monarch, and why they wanted to kill Li Xiu, they didn't understand, and they couldn't understand it.
But when the carnival disperses and the cruel reality is before us, the instinct of human nature blooms under the threat of death, without strict discipline and support for faith.
Living life, or saving your life, will be the only pursuit under the madness of people!
"Those who retreat in the face of battle will be killed without mercy!"
The thief army's supervisor shouted with a knife, and the blood stained by the blade forced the last trace of rationality of these thief soldiers...
But how long can this last trace of reason last...
It is also an unknown number!
tread!
When we reached the military camp with more than a hundred steps, the mountain-like military formation stopped suddenly, accompanied by the waving of the command flags, rows of flintlock rifles were also raised one after another.
Bang bang bang bang!
The gunshots suddenly rang out, and then they continued!
Rows of flintlock rifles were fired one after another, and in the smoke of gunpowder, the soldiers of the Beijing army holding flintlock rifles were like an extremely sophisticated machine, raising their guns, shooting, loading, raising their guns, shooting...
It's repeated, endless!
And in this endless situation, the military camp, which was bombarded by artillery, could not provide too much effective protection to the bandit soldiers and soldiers in the military camp.
Under the sporadic counterattack, there were casualties like being mowed!
Even if there are occasional thieves' artillery artillery, under the suppression of terrifying firepower, the chance of a second artillery is equivalent to nothing!
The artillery that was still roaring, even tore the defense that the thief generals had finally organized into pieces!
A simple insurgent and cannon coordination tactic also reveals a hideous appearance on the banks of the Weishui River.
Just like a cross-age attack, even if you use the military camp to defend, the bandit army is still in an absolutely suppressed situation.
"How is it possible..."
On the city tower, watching the battle situation go on, Li Zicheng's face is dazed, and there is a deep sense of confusion in his eyes.
The direction of the battle seemed to have completely exceeded his imagination. In his concept, although firearms are powerful weapons, they do not have such overwhelming combat power...
Cannons, muskets...
Just by combining these two moves, before the fight between real swords and guns was reached, the entire battle situation had already fallen into the irreversible abyss.
When has the war evolved into a point where even a person who is a war-ridden person cannot understand it?
...
Between the smoke of gunpowder, it was like a mountain army formation, and it was advancing step by step towards the bandit army camp in an unstoppable manner.
In the military camp, all the robbers, muskets, and even cannons were used, but under the triple strikes of muskets, cannons, and the three-level bombardment of the sky-blasting thunder thrown at close range, it was impossible to stop the advancement of the vanguard battalion.
But under this momentum, Fufeng City and the right camp of the bandit army came out again, intending to restrain the advancement of the vanguard battalion, but was stopped by Li Dingguo, who had been prepared for a long time.
In the telescope, he looked around the battle situation on both sides for a moment before Li Xiu slowly lowered the telescope.
The thief army's will to resist is obviously not tenacious, and it can even be considered as none. In this way, after suffering certain casualties, people's fear of death bursts out, which will definitely be the end of defeat, and no one can save it!
The presentation of the war was completely consistent with Li Xiuzhi's expectations, without any deviation.
Under the repeated harvest of firearms, the broken military camp was no longer able to give the thief soldiers a sense of security. With the escape of the first person who cherished his life, the momentum of defeat had already taken shape under the chain effect.
How dare the vanguard leader miss such an obvious fighter? With a command, the entire army pushed forward and rushed into the already broken bandit camp with thunder.
This wave of impact also became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Defeated like a mountain!
Among the broken military camps, the supervising team, which should represent discipline and majesty, was like a small boat in the storm, and it was hard to play any role.
Even the soldiers of the supervising team dropped their weapons, shook their heads and changed their faces, mixed in the defeated soldiers, and fled wildly.
"kill!"
The war horse galloped, Huang Degong took the lead, crossed the broken village gate, rushed into the defeated soldiers, waved his sword, and sprinkled blood, and quickly broke out a bloody path among the defeated soldiers.
The cavalry rushed forward. In the situation of defeat of the bandit army, their role was to remove any bandit army that dared to resist and allow the collapse to spread faster as quickly as possible!
The infantry, the musketeers had replaced the bayonet, and the sword and shield spearmen guarded the side, thousands of infantrymen also formed a small formation of varying numbers in an orderly manner, plundering in this military camp that Li Zicheng had high hopes for.
Putting down the telescope in his hand again, Li Xiu looked up at the sky at dusk, and the fiery red clouds surging, illuminating the entire earth.
Chapter completed!
