【Chapter 533】Moths to the fire
After Grusso and Bergen set out, there were about 30,000 people around Morigen. Before that, he took back all the Tatar cavalry from various passes of Helan Mountain. He didn't believe it. If the 30,000 Tatars were pressed up together, the white-clothed army could still fish steadily. Even if you want to fish, you will be killed by the fish! If you want to catch my big fish in Morigen, it depends on whether you Xu Xingxia has the ability!
If Mo Rigen's methods were tough enough and his brain was flexible enough. He suddenly found the weakness of the White-Clothed Army. If he had a small fuss, the White-Clothed Army could still fish and secretly plot against the Tatars. Now, the entire Tatars were pressed over, and the White-Clothed Army would not have the courage to fish. Indeed, under such circumstances, they would definitely be held to death.
"Da da da da!"
"Da da da da!"
With the order, the Tatars suddenly seemed to be in a rush toward Zhenyuan Pass.
It happened to be mid-November, and the moonlight was very bright. The whole Zhenyuan Pass was surrounded by gentle moonlight. In the sky, the moon was sparsely bright, and a bright moon hung across the sky, shrouded in the clear light, as if it was a fairyland. Unfortunately, no one cares about the existence of the moon, and no one has the heart to care about the love between us and me. What they have was only strong fighting spirit. Whether it was the Tatars or the white-clothed army, they were all ready to do a big fight under the moonlight.
On that day, Lin Danhan was at Zhenyuan Pass, with only more than 1,000 troops. He set up a formation and rushed towards Zhenyuan Pass, which was not enough. At that time, the Zhenyuan Pass defenders did not think there was anything extraordinary. However, now there are 30,000 people. Even if the fortifications at Zhenyuan Pass are strong enough, with muskets and cannons, the defenders could still feel heavy pressure. It seemed that they had been locked firmly by the Tatars.
For a moment, outside Zhenyuan Pass, all the dark people were covered with people. The sound of horse hooves like thunder shook the dust on Zhenyuan Pass and kept falling down. Even when standing on the city wall, you could feel the vibration of the earth. Standing on the top of Zhenyuan Pass, you could only see the dark heads and the dust storms flying all over the sky, and you could not see the desert Gobi. The Tatar cavalry team seemed to be boundless and endless.
No wonder the Tatar cavalry was so fierce and so aggressive. In fact, these Tatars had accumulated a lot of affliction. When they were in Gansu Town, they were beaten to the point of being beaten by the white-clothed army in front of Gulang City, so they had to cross the Tengger Desert. When they were traveling through the desert, the Tatars did pay a considerable price. After arriving at Zhenyuan Pass, they were pressed by Zhenyuan Pass again, and their stomachs were so frustrated that they felt so uncomfortable.
Now, with Mo Rigen's order, the entire army attacked, and the Tatars suddenly became excited. The Tatars were all over their bodies, and they were almost rational. No matter whether they could take down Zhenyuan Pass or not, they would vent their long-accumulated anger. If they had no chance to vent, they would be crazy.
Some Tatars even didn't even want bows and arrows, so they rushed up with scimitars. Some Tatars actually tore off their shirts and armor and went into battle with their bare arms. Some Tatars painted colorful patterns on their faces. It felt like they should be a totem they believed in. To be honest, the Tatars were indeed better than the Mongols.
"It's interesting." Xu Xingxia said calmly.
On the city tower of Zhenyuan Pass, a large number of white-clothed officers gathered. They all held a thousand-mile mirror and carefully observed the movements outside. The movements of the Tatar cavalry were indeed very large. The dust they lifted up alone could cover the entire Zhenyuan Pass in a thick sandstorm. Xu Xingxia and others all needed to cover their faces to block the wind and sand. The flag of the white-clothed army was also shrouded by sandstorms, and the original color could not be seen at all.
Zhu Fanyuan was naturally among them. It was the first time he witnessed such a spectacular battlefield. His inner shock was so powerful. Mo Rigen actually threw all his troops out at once, which was simply too fierce. If there were no obstacles from Zhenyuan Pass, I was afraid that the White Army would indeed be in danger. Such a vast cavalry impact would not be able to stop it even with cannons! No wonder the Tatars were so confident in their field skills.
But now, Mo Rigen seems to be a little nervous. The Tatars are not like fighting in the field, but a veritable attack. Did he forget that there are cannons above Zhenyuan Pass? Cannons are definitely the most effective weapon against the tactics of the sea of people! Several red cannons and hundreds of Flangji cannons, concentrated firepower and bombing, and the Tatars' casualties are absolutely indispensable. Mo Rigen is definitely a big loss this time.
"Mori came to irritate us, but he was first angered. It is rare for Tatars to come up so actively to die! I said, why are these Tatars rushing to die one by one? Is it really meaningless to be alive?" Zhang Tianhao put down the Qianlijing and said happily. When he spoke, his tone was deliberately sarcastic, just to hurt the Tatars.
This senior staff officer of the White Army had no power to catch chickens and could not go on the battlefield to kill the enemy himself, so he could only enjoy his mouth. Fortunately, Mo Rigen did not hear it. Otherwise, he would definitely be furious. He was originally going to shock Xu Xingxia, but why did he rush to come and die? Can you speak more friendly?
"Yes! As long as we count the casualties, Mo Rigen will probably vomit blood. Our casualties are less than 100, but the casualties of the Tartars are more than 1,500." A staff officer named Liu Hanwu said. Liu Hanwu is naturally a false name. The original real name has been quietly erased. He is naturally the clearest about the data issues.
"Liu Hanwu? Are there 1,500 people?" Xu Xingxia suddenly asked. His ears were really sensitive. In such an environment, he could actually hear Liu Hanwu talking.
"The Chairman of the Report is the news I just received, sent by the Wolf Cavalry. The casualties of the Tatars that can be confirmed have reached 1,539." Liu Hanwu hurried to Xu Xingxia, stood attentively, saluted, and told Nong News.
"Well, I understand." Xu Xingxia nodded with satisfaction and signaled that Liu Hanwu would go to work hard. In one day, killing 1,500 Tartars was a good record. His mood was naturally quite good. Of course, his mood was good, which means that Mo Rigen was in a bad mood. This old boy probably was going to get angry.
Mo Rigen was furious, and the Tatar cavalry below were also furious. They had accumulated more than two months of anger, and finally all of them broke out today. They seemed to be crazy, constantly attacking the White-Clothed Cavalry, trying to disperse the White-Clothed Cavalry in one fell swoop. At this moment, almost every Tatar boy put his life and death aside.
However, the Tatars' anger was vented fiercely on the soft cotton. Seeing the Tatar cavalry swarming in, all the white-clothed cavalry immediately turned around and ran. In a short while, they disappeared into the city gate of Zhenyuan Pass. The Tatar cavalry in the anger continued to attack forward, reluctance to leave.
"Squeak!"
The thick city gate of Zhenyuan Pass was slowly closed.
On the top of the city, all the white-clothed military musketeers had their fingers on the trigger.
As long as the order is above, they will pull the trigger, fire the Minnie bullets in the musket, and knock the Tatar cavalry in front of them off the horse. At least 13,000 musketeers were gathered on the top of Zhenyuan Pass. It is conceivable what kind of power it would be if 13,000 muskets were fired together. What's more, some soldiers even have two muskets to increase the density of instantaneous firepower.
As for the warriors who operated the artillery, they were all prepared before firing. With a command, hundreds of artillery cannons could cover all the Tatars in front of them. There were three red cannons and one hundred and twenty-four Flangji cannons. All the cannons would fire shotguns. All the Flangji cannons were prepared with five letter barrels, which could be replaced in a very short time to strengthen the instantaneous fire density and cause greater damage to the Tartars.
"kill!"
"Roar up!"
Zarik was also very angry.
It's paralyzed, the monk can't run away, the temple, fuck your mother!
Under the hysteria, Zarrik completely forgot the solidity of the Zhenyuan Pass walls, completely forgot the muskets of the White Army, and completely forgot the cannons on Zhenyuan Pass. He was devoted to venting all his anger. He subconsciously felt that even if he bumped into the anger accumulated by the Tatars, he could knock Zhenyuan Pass away!
Under Zarik's order, more than 30,000 Tatar cavalry rushed towards Zhenyuan Pass without stopping. They had no intention of stopping. They were getting closer and closer to Zhenyuan Pass. They got over from far away, like a dark flood sweeping overwhelmingly. The terrifying wave seemed to be able to swallow Zhenyuan Pass at any time. Even Xu Xingxia was as calm as she couldn't help but feel her cheeks tightened.
It was obvious that Staff Liu Hanwu also felt a huge pressure. It was his first time to participate in the war, and it was fake to say that he was not nervous. They were facing a total of 30,000 Tatar cavalry! He had long heard of the cruelty of the Tatar cavalry. He felt that all his palms were sweating. In order to relieve the pressure in his heart, he had to look for people to talk. He stood next to Zhang Tianhao and whispered: "These Tartars are really getting water in their brains. Touching the eggs on the stone."
Zhang Tianhao was quite calm. He was blindly confident about Xu Xingxia, and felt that no matter how big the Tartars came from, he could only suffer a defeat in front of Xu Xingxia. Seeing that Liu Hanwu was a little nervous, Zhang Tianhao whispered: "Xiao Liu, don't be afraid, it's okay. You are right. The Tartars did touch the stone with an egg. However, if you don't touch it hard, how could Tartars realize that they are eggs? Did you think we are eggs?"
"Let's fight when you're close!" Xu Xingxia said calmly.
On the top of Zhenyuan Pass, all the white-clothed troops were naturally ready.
All the cannons have been loaded and can be fired at any time. All the musketeers were holding their breath and waiting for the order. Lin Dacheng calculated the distance of the Tatar cavalry step by step. He had to calculate a suitable distance to cause the most casualties to the Tatars. The Tatars actually lost their minds and attacked Zhenyuan Pass desperately. There would never be a second chance like this. Therefore, he had to seize it firmly.
Seeing that the vanguard of the Tatar cavalry was less than 30 feet away from Zhenyuan Pass, Lin Dazhen issued an order to open fire. Due to the effect of inertia, the Tatar cavalry must continue to surge forward. The distance between them and the city wall of Zhenyuan Pass must be continuously shortened. The mixed killing system composed of red cannons, Flangji cannons, and the sun and moon system can just cover most of the Tatars.
"put!"
Lin Dacheng decided to calmly calm the order.
The gunner immediately lit the fuse.
The musketeer decisively pulled the trigger immediately.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Bang bang bang!"
The first one to sound was naturally more than 10,000 powerful muskets.
Due to the delay of the order and the rapidity of personal reactions, the first round of volleys sounded like burning firecrackers, which continued. In an instant, the entire Zhenyuan Pass was covered by the white smoke from the sun and moon locks. The air was filled with the smell of choking gunpowder. Zhu Biyuan, Liu Hanwu and others couldn't help but cough.
"Anytime!"
"Gee!"
The moment after the musket, various artillery also erupted.
A large number of shotgun marbles and a large number of Minnie bombs, like a storm, enveloped all the Tatar cavalry sweeping over. In an instant, the mountains collapsed and the earth changed color. The firelight burst out from various firearms completely lost its color. The too bright firelight even illuminated the entire sky at that moment. It seemed that the sky was burned red.
The Tatar cavalry that rushed up suddenly fell down like a crop of wheat.
More than 10,000 Minnie bombs poured out, and the lethality was not a joke? Because the Mercedes-Benz was galloping too fast, some Tartars' war horses fell to their knees all at once. The people on the horse's back flew seven or eight feet away like shells. When they landed, they rolled on the ground like scattered trunks, probably falling into a ball of meat sauce.
There are also some Tartar cavalry who fell down with people and horses. They were directly pressed under the horses and set a distance of more than ten feet. When the horses stopped sliding, the people who were pressed down were basically divided. There are also many Tartars who were not hit by Minnie bombs or marbles, but were hit by their companions, which was also a death-lost fate.
The Taurus cavalry in front was hit by Minnie bullets. The Taurus cavalry in the middle was hit by the Flangji cannon. The last Taurus cavalry in the red-clothed cannon will most likely fall off the horse's back directly, and it is almost impossible for them to survive. Some of the ones hit by the marbles are still struggling desperately until they are hit by Minnie bullets and marbles, or they are trampled to death by the horse's hooves of their companions.
Most of the fallen Tartars were directly stepped on by their companions behind them. The 30,000 Tartar cavalry were dispatched, and the 120,000 horse hooves were there, where was there much room for transfer and maneuvering? No matter how many obstacles there were in front, the Tartars' war horses could only be stepped on. This was told, and if they stepped on them, the iron man would be trampled on.
"Oops!"
Zarik was shocked.
Only then did he realize that he had forgotten the most important point.
There are cannons on the top of Zhenyuan Pass! The fortress of Zhenyuan Pass is very strong! The Tatars rushed up like this and were simply suicide!
"Retreat!"
"Retreat!"
Zarik was still in shock and shouted in a hurry.
He snatched the horn of the messenger next to him and blew it hard.
The Tatar cavalry also woke up like a dream and hurriedly retreated. The sound of guns and cannons of the White Army sounded, and their hot minds calmed down instantly. When they understood what they had done, their backbone was cold and cold. God, they actually ran into the guns and cannons of the White Army. Isn’t this asking for death? With their flesh and blood, how can they stop the guns and cannons of the White Army?
However, it is not that easy for them to retreat at this time? The turn of war horses requires time and space, especially when galloping at high speed, which takes longer and larger space. Just now, the Tatar cavalry had a very fast impact, and they seemed to be arrows off the string, hoping to be faster than a meteor. As a result, some Tatar cavalry rushed to a place less than ten feet away from the city wall in one breath. It is conceivable what kind of concept it would be to turn around in such an environment!
However, even if there is no way, you must turn around. Unless you want to die, you will be killed. So, in the high-speed gallop, some Tatar cavalry turned around desperately. Naturally, no one organized such a turn around. The centurion of the Tatars, the commanders of thousands of people, and the like were all in chaos. In a panic, some Tatar cavalry turned to the left, while others turned to the right. The result of this was naturally in chaos and everyone collided with each other.
With such a fierce speed, the two of them collided with each other, and they didn't have to think about the consequences. Some horses directly hit their heads and fell to the ground. As for the people on the horse's back, they were naturally thrown out and flew more than ten feet away, and they would definitely not be able to survive. Some even two Tatar cavalry collided directly in the air, directly hitting two meat sauces, and then falling down fiercely.
The violent impact also seriously led to chaos at the scene. The corpses of war horses and personnel caused great trouble to the Tatar cavalry behind them. The blood moistened the ground and made the ground very slippery, and there were many war horses that were slipped.
The more war horses fall, the less space you can move smoothly. More and more Tatar cavalry feel that it is difficult to advance and not know what to do.
As a result, while hesitating, a large number of Minnie bullets and marbles flew over and killed them directly to the ground. Basically, the Tartar cavalry who rushed in the front had no chance of survival. The muskets of the White Army were indeed too fierce. As long as the Tartar cavalry was in the shooting range of the Sun and Moon Division, they would definitely not be able to escape the shooting of Minnie bullets.
Those fierce Tartar archers found that they were dead, and no matter what action they made, they could not escape the evil hands of the White Army. In anger, they simply did not retreat, and directly bent their bows and arrows to shoot arrows on the top of the city. It has to be said that the choice of these Tartar archers was completely correct. They also saved some face for the Tatars.
"Swoosh!"
"Swoosh!"
Arrows flew up one by one.
"laugh!"
"laugh!"
The soldiers of the Zhouyi Army were constantly shot and fell to the ground with a muffled groan.
It is indeed not difficult to accurately hit the target at a distance of ten or twenty feet. The Tatar cavalry who rushed in the front was the elite, and their archery was definitely not a big deal. Moreover, with their vicious archery, as long as they were shot, they were basically at the critical position. In other words, as long as they were shot by them, the white-clothed army had very few chances of surviving.
Fortunately, some of the White Army had reserve teams, and they were not afraid of losing a large number of staff. Someone in front was killed and injured, and someone immediately came on the bench and continued to shoot. On the contrary, the Tartars riding archers near the city walls were killed and one less. When the last Tartars riding archers were unwilling to let go, the Tartars' arrows finally disappeared completely.
"Retreat!"
"Retreat!"
Zarik screamed heart-wrenchingly.
He saw his subordinates fall down in rows, and his heart was really broken.
Those were veterans who had been fighting with him for many years. He led them to become a high-level cavalier from a young man who was willing to do so. In the past battles, they were so brave and so fierce when facing the enemy. As long as they were out, there would be no enemy that could not be defeated. As a result, because of this impact, they fell down forever. They were like moths that were blowing into fire, and they could not die anymore.
"Don't be sly, suddenly, Zarik moaned in pain.
It turned out that he saw the bravest Tartar centurion, who was hit by the musket of the white army, and fell down from the horse's back. However, he was still very tenacious. He kept struggling on the ground and tried to stand up again. As a result, more projectiles hit him. It seemed that countless holes were opened on his body, and blood kept flowing out.
Finally, he fell helplessly. However, his back still supported. One by one, the projectile continued to ruthlessly hit his back, bursting out blood flowers. In the end, he still couldn't hold on, and he fell heavily to the ground and could no longer see it.
"I
”
Zarik suddenly felt a dizzy turn, his eyes turned dark, and then he fell off the horse's back.
Chapter completed!
