Chapter 670 The front army is overthrown
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang!"
A few dozen steps away, the deafening bursts of explosions sounded, and the dazzling golden flames appeared and disappeared in the large swell of whistle smoke. The limbs and blood in the air flew everywhere, screams one after another, and the scene was like hell.
The Tang army's unexpected thunder bombing was a fatal blow to the bandits.
These individual soldiers with a killing radius of more than ten steps were killed, and the killing effect caused to the bandits was very terrifying.
These thousands of individual soldiers threw the sky-shaking thunder in their hands and threw them out in intensive manner. More than 800 of them exploded smoothly, causing more than 2,000 bandits who charged in a intensive manner to kill each other in an instant, and countless injured people. Many people were shocked to the point of deafness. They were stunned in place, not knowing what to do next.
For a time, the bandit formation was in chaos and morale dropped to the bottom.
At this time, the second round of individual thunder-thunder throws by the Tang army's auxiliary soldiers began again.
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang!"
A few dozen steps away, there were another violent explosion, and the human limbs and blood internal organs flew everywhere. As many as thousands of bandit soldiers who had no time to retreat were killed instantly.
Immediately afterwards, the third round of throwing began.
While the thunder and thunder were showing off its power, the two thousand flintlock Lumi guns fired together, and the heavy dragon striking cannons at the top of the city rumbled, and there was no rest.
In the face of such a powerful firearm attack as the Tang army and the violent massacre that was almost absolutely dead, the bandits who rushed to the formation with flesh and blood were finally completely collapsed at a place that was only more than twenty steps away from Haogou.
In fact, until now, the battle has been not a battle, but a one-sided massacre.
The bandits threw away their weapons, howled and turned around and fled, like a group of pigs that ignored their butts. There was no need to talk about any organization or discipline. Everyone retreated desperately, for fear that they would become the Tang army's ghost under the sword and gun under the soul.
It's not that easy to run!
Seeing the black bandits rushing into the formation, they finally collapsed completely under the heavy blow of their own firearms. The entire army fled in a hurry, and a continuous and loud cheer sounded in the Tang army's Haogou formation.
At the same time, a large number of Tang army spearmen with complete armor and armor holding sharp and steel spears jumped out of the haygate, walked quickly, and followed the bandits who were fleeing and chased after them.
As soon as he approached, the 4-meter-long steel spear, the sharp and terrifying three-edged blood-trough gun head stabbed the bandits who were running away with their eyes as if they had eyes.
When the three-edged steel spear head was stabbed at that moment, it was like being kissed by a poisonous snake. It could be said that it would die when touched, and it would die when touched. Under the fierce stabbing of the Tang army's spearmen, the bandits screamed and struggled and fell to die.
The Tang army's spearmen fought hard, bravely killing the defeated soldiers. The Tang army cavalry, who had been raising their strength and still remained unmoved, were not willing to be the queen.
A large number of Tang cavalrymen, including the Manzhou cavalry, who had been quietly staying at the east gate of Shanhaiguan, had a total of more than 4,000 people. After receiving the order, they immediately let out a beast-like whistle, like a tiger coming out of the mountain, like a sword coming out of the box, everyone was brave enough to compete for the first place, and flocked from the east gate of Shanhaiguan.
They rushed out of the city like a tide, and then turned around and headed straight south. After the entire army crossed the corner of the city wall, they rushed towards the fleeing bandits like arrows.
However, such delay did not affect too long, because soon, the Tang cavalry, which was fully armored, sharp swords and guns, were chasing the defeated soldiers all the way, and rushed to the bandits who could not form a combat formation.
The arrival of the Tang army was unexpected and unprepared to attack, which made the bandits and cavalry very passive.
The Tang cavalry rushing towards the high speed all the way was semicircular in the overall formation, like a ferocious fist. With a very sharp momentum, they knocked away the defeated soldiers blocking the front and rushed into the bandits' formation in an instant.
This fierce attack caused the originally scattered bandit cavalry formation to become even more scattered and chaotic. A large number of unprepared bandit cavalry were killed by the rushing Tang cavalry.
They either fell off their horses screaming or were stabbed in the chest with sharp rifles, and many were stabbed in pairs by Tang army's rifles or knives, and were stabbed in pairs with people and horses, which was very terrifying.
The Tang cavalry, who was slightly inferior in numbers, first gave the slightly larger number of bandit cavalry and gave a solid and fierce and heavy blow.
Immediately, the two cavalry teams immediately strangled together.
The jingle of swords and swords, the sound of cutting bones that makes people sore teeth, the dull puff sound of stabbing into the human body, the screams of death and the dying horses suddenly rang out.
It seems that this stalemate battle between the cavalry may last for a long time, but as the Tang army spearmen rushed over quickly, the battle situation became clear in an instant.
A Tang army spearman holding a 4-meter steel spear, ran all the way here, and everyone was out of breath, but he was still full of energy and morale. They shouted and rushed forward quickly, completely cutting off the rear of the bandit cavalry and completely encircled them, causing the bandit cavalry to fall into a desperate situation of being completely surrounded.
Sharp steel spears, like flying poisonous dragons, whistling and stabbing hard. The bandit cavalry, people or horses, were stabbed into the vital points by spears. Cavalry after cavalry screamed and fell off their horses, and war horses neighed and fell to the ground.
The battle was fierce and the battle continued. The Tang army completely gained the upper hand in this sudden encirclement and annihilation battle in a very short period of time, and the entire battle had already shown a one-sided trend.
The bandit cavalry, who were attacked from both sides, finally collapsed completely after resisting for a while.
A large number of bandit cavalry began to break through at any cost. There were also many bandit cavalry howling loudly, throwing weapons on the spot, raising their hands high and begging for mercy, looking very pitiful.
However, on this heavy rainy battlefield, because of the fear that the bandits would continue to send reinforcements, the Tang army had no ability and time to collect the prisoners. Therefore, the Tang cavalry and spearmen who were red-eyed were still roaring like wild animals, and mercilessly wanted to kill all the remaining bandits.
In the end, the bandit cavalry, less than a thousand cavalry, fought hard and killed the siege, saved their lives by chance and escaped. The remaining 3,000 bandit cavalry were all killed by the Tang army on this heavy rainy battlefield.
Of course, this assault battle between the bandit cavalry was not without any value.
After all, while they were fighting to the death, they bought a large number of defeated soldiers very precious time to escape. These defeated soldiers took advantage of this rare opportunity to flee in a hurry and return to the formation, and finally saved their lives.
At this time, the Tang army's spearmen and cavalry had already won a great victory. In order to avoid the trouble, they had no intention of continuing to pursue, but retreated one after another.
What is ridiculous is that when they retreated, the already terrified bandits could only watch them retreat, but no one dared to attack and fight again.
Seeing the Tang army retreat calmly and watching the battle in silence, Liu Fangliang felt like a knife in his heart. He tensed his face, endured his inner pain, and gave a trembling order to the army soldiers who had survived the disaster.
"The whole army obeys the order, retreats back to the original team in order, joins the central army, and then makes a case."
"Get orders!"
After saying this, he pulled out his horse and left first, rushed back to the central army, and went to meet Liu Zongmin.
Liu Fangliang rode his horse and saw from afar that Liu Zongmin was wearing armor and pressed his waist knife, standing in heavy rain like a statue. When he saw Liu Zongmin like this, Liu Fangliang felt extremely sad inside.
He slowly rode his horse closer. He walked a few steps away from Liu Zongmin, rolled off his horse, knelt on the ground, and replied in a trembling voice: "Liu Fangliang, under the command of the army, was incompetent, and lost nearly 20,000 troops. He failed to take down the Tang army's Haogou. Please punish him."
Liu Zongmin didn't look at him at all, but looked at the far place through the heavy rain curtain. After a long time, he replied in a deep voice: "Cihou, get up. Our old brothers for many years are not like this. In my opinion, the defeat of this battle is ultimately not your fault, but because we underestimate the enemy too much."
Liu Fangliang was stunned when he heard this, but felt a little comforted. He hesitated for a moment before slowly standing up.
"Speaking of this, the result of fighting against the Tang army was really beyond my expectations." Liu Zongmin's words were filled with indescribable pain and bitterness. "I really didn't expect that his navy ships anchored on the sea were so powerful that their attacks with guns actually compressed the combat space of our army, forcing our army to tilt the side. It was really hateful!"
"Because of the inducement, our army had to conduct intensive attacks in order to avoid artillery fire, which made the Tang army's firearms fully utilize their advantages. Tang army's artillery, guns, and thunder attacks took turns to attack. No one can withstand such dense and powerful firepower."
When Liu Zongmin said this, he couldn't help but sigh, with an indescribable loneliness.
"Sir Liu, now our army has been defeated, how about it? In addition, what is the situation of the Qing army in the north now?" Liu Fangliang asked in a low voice.
Liu Zongmin sneered and said in a deep voice: "After this great defeat, how can we fight again? We can only retreat to the camp for a while, rest and make another mistake. As for the Qing army in the north?"
