Chapter One Hundred and Ninety-fifth Slaughter
It is the season when wild flowers are in full bloom. There are colorful wild flowers everywhere on both sides of the river, which is very beautiful.
However, at this time, due to the sudden violent explosion, the sand, gravel and dust spread everywhere, covering up the gorgeous spring scenery.
After a while, the rolling dust dissipated and the scene became clear again. What was presented to everyone was a tragic scene.
About 30% of the 20,000 Tartars and 2,000 Han troops with blue flags fell on the spot.
Most of them were hit by the sand and gravel that was blown away by the big explosion, or they were knocked to the ground by the war horses under them. However, no more than 10% of the soldiers were killed and injured by the bomb.
However, those war horses were indeed completely crazy. About 10% of the war horses had already died and injured and fell to the ground. The remaining 90% of the war horses of various colors began a riot!
They were all jumping up and down around, running wildly, but mostly they were spinning in place, not knowing where to go, or they were still in a daze and did not return to their awake state.
One thing that was exactly the same at the scene was that at this time, all the Tartars and traitor cavalry soldiers, more than 90% of the people, were left behind their war horses, and were either dead or injured and lying all over the ground.
Although about 70% of the soldiers were only slightly injured, less than 30% of them were seriously injured and died on the spot.
But there is a bit of fatal situation, which is very unfavorable for these Tartars and traitors who are still confused.
That is, most of their soldiers have temporarily become infantrymen. Now, these war horses that are constantly neighing and losing control will take at least a long time to recover to a state where they can ride.
However, they no longer have time to appease these war horses.
Because at this time, teams of soldiers wearing black clothes and black armor had quickly flashed out of several dense forests on both sides of the river, running forward quickly, and forcing towards the scene of the tragedy.
Although they did not ride war horses, they were still infantrymen.
However, in such battlefield situations, infantry is definitely many times stronger than cavalry.
After all, although the banks of the river here are open and flat, they are covered with sand and gravel, and war horses cannot charge or run.
The fact that this big explosion had such a huge effect was also due to the ground covered with sand and gravel, which allowed nearly a hundred explosive packs to achieve such dazzling and scary results after the explosion almost at the same time.
The war horses of the two cavalry brigades of the Qinglong Legion were all plugged by soldiers who had prepared their ears with simple earplugs made of cotton wool, and deliberately kept them away from the battlefield, so they would not be affected by this violent explosion at all.
This is also when the soldiers of various legions knew the huge power of their artillery's flowering bullets, in order to prevent their artillery from accidentally causing an erotic disaster.
This is a way to deal with it that everyone racked their brains and thought of, and ordered a large number of these simple earplugs from the Royal Military Department.
Now most of the cavalry of the New Army of the Ming Dynasty carry two pairs of earplugs, which can be used by themselves or their horses at any time.
After Lu Xiangsheng led 20,000 soldiers to this natural and excellent ambush site first, he immediately ordered a portion of the blasting trainees to bury explosive packs on both sides of the river.
The other soldiers immediately carefully chose hiding places nearby, hid themselves and their war horses, and did a good job in preventing the big explosion.
Lu Xiangsheng ordered the soldiers to prepare for two types of combat: one was to successfully follow the plan and the ambush was successfully carried out, and the infantry battle formation was used to surround the enemy.
Another way is that when the Tartars discovered their own ambush, they had to fight head-on by head-on battle between the two sides.
However, no matter what the situation is, you must choose a place to hide the traces of 20,000 soldiers in advance, so that you can try your best to achieve the battlefield expectations of the first method.
Fortunately, the previous few Tartar scout teams, because they were too short of time and were eager to escape, did not find the whereabouts of the soldiers who were hiding well in the dense forests on both sides of the river, and were able to perfectly achieve the purpose of the first combat mode.
"Click the crossbow, try to shoot people and not horses! Prepare for ten rounds of volleys!"
"Prepare! Shoot!"...
A general who had been arranged to lead the soldiers to attack, after quickly reaching the range of the crossbow killing enemy, immediately ordered the launch of accumulating shots, not giving the Tartars and traitor soldiers any time to react.
At this time, it is extremely important to seize the initiative. Not only can you reduce your casualties on your own side, but you can also destroy the enemy before the enemy counterattacks.
Not to mention anything else, just the volley of the ten-wheeled crossbows of the entire army is enough to benefit the Tartars and traitors in front of them.
Not to mention that whether it is a crossbow or a short gun, its range and attack speed are all over the entire range and attack speed.
"Woooooo!"
"Woo woo woo woo woo!"...
The next moment, the two cavalry brigade soldiers who had almost completely surrounded this battlefield raised the crossbows in their hands, aimed a little, and under the orders of the generals and officers, they began to launch continuously.
The sound of blasting through the sky was low and harsh, and the fatal arrows flew out quickly and instantly shot on a Tartar and a hardcore traitor!
At this moment, some of the Tartars and traitor generals were actually filled with dozens of arrows!
There is no way, who made them officers and generals one by one?
In this case, these well-equipped generals were naturally the first to target the targets.
Therefore, the probability of being targeted by some soldiers at the same time will undoubtedly increase countless times.
In the first round of attacks, even many empty arrowheads had not yet landed, and the second wave of crossbow shooting had already begun!
The endless arrows filled the sky in this short period of time, and even the nearly noon sunlight was blocked by most of this moment!
This sky also became dark in this short period of time, as if it was covered by dark clouds!
There is no way, the ten rounds of crossbows of 20,000 soldiers were shot, and 200,000 sharp arrows were shot at one time, and 2 million crossbows were shot at ten rounds!
This situation lasted for only a few minutes, and it is understandable that this kind of change was caused.
"Cross crossbow! Take it!"
After the soldiers fired all the arrows in the crossbow casket, a famous general and officer did not go to see the situation on the battlefield at all, and immediately shouted, "Short gun, keep shooting! Kill any enemy who is still breathing!"
Because the fighting will and combat effectiveness of the Tartars are not comparable to ordinary troops, in order to reduce unnecessary casualties among the soldiers of the New Ming army, we must seize the time to kill all the remaining enemies!
The current situation is not the time for subordinates to show mercy.
Because the enemies on the scene were either the extremely cruel Tartar soldiers and generals, or those hard-core traitors who were devoted to the Tartars, the soldiers never thought of leaving any living mouths in this battle.
Governor Lu said one thing well: The dead Tartars and hardcore traitors are the best Tartars and hardcore traitors.
This is nothing wrong with it, it is very suitable for the soldiers' wishes.
Lu Xiangsheng, standing on the bank of the Western River, now interprets the true meaning of this sentence with practical actions: he had just fired the arrows of the crossbow in his hand, and casually put away the crossbow and took out his three super short guns.
He raised his hand and headed for about four or five hundred meters ahead. The group of alive Tartar generals who were still standing crookedly raised their short guns and pulled the trigger calmly.
"Bang!"
"Bang bang!"
"Bang bang bang!"
Six guns in a row hit the three of Mangourtai, Ebilong, and Huang Chengyong who had just stood up!
This is to be on the safe side, and to make people feel at the same time that they have to pierce their hearts and blow their heads.
Anyway, there are no more alive Tartars and hardcore traitors at the scene, and it doesn't matter if they waste three super bullets.
These three once famous, glorious and sinful enemy chiefs, after falling to the ground and dying, still had their eyes wide open, their eyes that had lost their expression, and were still looking up at the sky, dying with their eyes open!
They had too much money and had not had time to enjoy it, and had not killed enough Han people to die so miserably. Naturally, before they died, they were extremely unwilling to accept it.
Especially the boss of the Han army's blue flag, the hardcore traitor Huang Chengyong, who had escaped several disasters in a row, but now he has finally run out of luck and died.
All his ambitions and dreams disappeared at this moment.
It will never be restored and there will be no chance to start over again.
This hardcore traitor, who was full of evil, finally got retribution at this moment, and he died to the point of death.
The same is true for Mangourtai. His dream of Khan ended before it even began.
He was still thinking about finding a suitable opportunity to pull the fat man Huang Taiji down from the sweat position and sit on it himself.
Look at the feeling of sweating, isn’t it very pleasant?
However, beautiful dreams are beautiful dreams after all.
