Chapter seven hundred and thirty fourth behind the greater danger
Take your life while you are sick.
Seeing the enemy's advance and retreat, he fell into chaos. The Tang army battle formation, which was originally forcing steadily, would certainly not miss this rare opportunity.
The first thing that was dispatched was the more than 3,000 Tang cavalry who were following behind the battle formation like lurking beasts.
A sharp command sounded, and the three thousand cavalry divided into two parts, respectively, from the left and right sides of the battle formation, then rushed out from the left and right sides, and rushed towards the vanguards of the left army who were in chaos and wanted to squeeze through the bridge again.
The horse's hooves rumbled, and the gun was pointed at the sword. The three thousand Tang cavalry with fierce armor and murderous auras, when they saw the chaotic enemy troops in front of them, they were as excited as wild beasts smelled blood.
They rode their horses and made wild whistles, and rushed from the left and right directions to the enemy formation together.
The Tang cavalry rushed towards the high speed all the way, with a neat and sharp overall formation. The assaulted black sharp arrow was like a ferocious fist. With a very sharp momentum, they instantly rushed into the vanguard of the left army who were eager to squeeze through the floating bridge to escape.
The Tang cavalry, both in heavy armor and the half-ton Xuanhu heavy cavalry, made the Tang army assault arrows. Their attacks were fierce, like running tanks, and the vanguard of the Left Army, which was originally scattered and depressed, so they flew up like paper. Countless Left Army soldiers drew long or short arcs in the air, screaming and falling down, either dead or incomplete.
Under the violent impact of the Tang cavalry, the Zuo Army, which was already in chaos, suddenly became more and more chaotic.
The Tang army successfully attacked and immediately slashed and killed the enemy troops who could not escape in front of the horse. Where the sword light passed, the heads flew, blood and flesh splattered, and screamed in succession.
Don't be too happy with such a unilateral and ruthless massacre.
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 people who are dying mixed with the chirping of horses, like the song of death.
The vanguard of the Left Army, which had more than 2,000 people, collapsed immediately, and the remaining Left Army soldiers fled without target like headless flies. They abandoned their weapons one after another and ran away desperately. Many people took off their armor while running, in order to die as much as possible in this escape competition, so that they could escape from heaven.
The cavalry of the Tang army was like an influence, like a group of terrible beasts that kept chasing their prey, and continued to bite and hunt these poor soldiers without any mercy.
At this point, the entire wilderness outside the wooden bridge bridge has become a place for the Tang army cavalry to slaughter. The left army fleeing everywhere is like cattle, sheep, pigs and dogs fleeing wildly. It is appointed to chase and kill the Tang army, and there is no possibility of saving their lives.
What's even more terrifying is that in such a scattered escape, even if there were sporadic Left Army soldiers who wanted to surrender, they were immediately killed by the Tang cavalry who were red-eyed, either chopped or stabbed, and killed immediately without any mercy.
More than 2,000 vanguards of the Left Army were immediately killed by the Tang army like the wind storm the remaining clouds.
At first glance, the entire vast suburb of the west side of the Bahe River was like a slaughterhouse, with the corpses and flags and weapons of enemy soldiers on the ground, scattered in a row, shocking, and the blood overflowing everywhere had already merged into a red blood river.
This long and winding river of blood meanders and flows bright red. After flowing into the Ba River, it dyes the originally clear Ba River water into a heart-wrenching scarlet red.
Perhaps the only value of the deaths of these more than 2,000 left-leaning soldiers is to win a rare escape time for the retreating soldiers on the wooden bridge.
After the Tang cavalry finally killed all the vanguards of the Left Army who had no time to retreat, the originally crowded and noisy wooden bridge was empty, and the left soldiers on the bridge had already escaped.
At this time, in the Left Army formation on the other side, Jin Shenghuan, the commander of the Left Army who had been postponing the supervision, saw that the vanguard team with more than 2,000 people in his family were completely defeated and killed by the Tang army in a short time. The anger and frustration in his heart were simply hard to describe.
Damn, this fucking battle can make people feel frustrated!
It was not until the large number of troops retreated from the bridge ran all the way back to the formation that Jin Shenghuan came back from his anger and humiliation contemplation.
He clearly saw that the Tang cavalry who had massacred the vanguard of the Left Army wanted to chase after him again and soon approached the bridge.
"Quick! Block the bridge quickly! Never let the Tang army cross the bridge!"
Jin Shenghuan's face was so anxious that his face was purple, and his forehead was rushing. He shouted at the scattered defeated soldiers almost at the top of his lungs.
The most elite soldiers under his command also realized the extreme danger now. Therefore, under his command, a large number of elite infantry soldiers around him gasped and ran quickly to fill the entrance of the bridge.
Jin Shenghuan was lucky. When his followers almost ran to the entrance of the floating bridge, the Tang cavalry had just rushed to the opposite side of the bridge.
Seeing the enemy infantry opposite, they had already set up their posture to block the entrance to the other end of the bridge. When the Tang cavalry saw that they had lost the opportunity to assault, they had to tie the horse's hooves at the entrance of the bridge and paused further attacks.
At this time, the battle between the Tang army and the Left Army came to an end. The four gates of Huangzhou City in the distance were blocked by the Tang army and surrounded tightly, so that even a fly could not escape. The Left Army, who had finally made a hurry to line up, confronted the Tang army that was rushing across the river.
Soon, the subsequent Tang army reinforcements rushed forward all the way and rushed forward quickly. Almost in the time of a stick of incense, they quickly arrived across the Ba River and then lined up on the spot.
Jin Shenghuan saw that the Tang army battle formation was coming all the way, and he could basically maintain a strict formation. After the formation was arranged across the river, it was even more rigorous and orderly, leaving no flaws at all. This shows that his military discipline was strict and he was shocked by the long battle formation.
Jin Shenghuan sighed in his heart, but took out a thousand-mile mirror and carefully observed how the Tang army battle formations on the other side of the Ba River were displayed.
He was surprised to see that although the Tang army confronted him across the river on the other side of the Ba River seemed to have a total force of about half less than himself, the formation they arranged was a long snake formation with a width of almost equal to that of the whole square. Nearly 10,000 shield soldiers were lined up in a row. The two rows of sharp and sharp shields were like a temporary steel wall, shining with a cold light under the bright sun at noon.
Behind the shield soldiers, there were dense spearmen. On the steel wall built by the shield soldiers, there was a 4-meter steel spear with a flashing cold light above each shield, like a poisonous dragon ready to go, waiting viciously for the prey that was getting closer and closer to the opposite side.
The Tang army's spearmen have three levels, which can ensure that there are enough troops to fill the losses. The entire formation is very strict and full of murderous aura.
Behind the spearmen were a large number of Tang army auxiliary soldiers holding thunder and thunder. These auxiliary soldiers without armor were actually like the trump card of the Tang army. Each of them had more than ten one-handed thunder and thunder and thunder around their waists. They seemed to have no attack power, but they were actually the Tang army's biggest secret weapon. Because only after experiencing the power of the Tang army, the enemy army, which was the power of the single-handed thunder, could they know how powerful they were.
At this time, behind the entire Tang army's gun and shield battle formation were two cavalrymen that had withdrawn from the bridgehead. There were two heavy armored team members on the left and right sides of the entire battle formation, using these two troops to protect the safety of the flanks.
However, the most conspicuous of their formation is the front, with nearly 6,000 musketeers who were selected from the two battalions A and B, and were standing in a row in two rows in front and back.
These musketeers simply lined up in two rows in front and back, one standing and one kneeling, but they were extremely strict and murderous, full of an indescribable awesome power.
Overall, the Tang army battle formation on the other side was like a precision-combined war machine, extremely orderly and undisturbed, but it had an extremely fierce and strong force, which made the Left Army on the opposite side feel invisible and huge pressure.
Soon, something that made Jin Shenghuan feel even more depressed appeared.
That is, in the battle formation that was in a hurry, the front army's team, as the Tang army continued to force the opposite bank, began to subconsciously shrink back and retreat through a crossing river, causing the entire formation to appear in chaos.
Seeing this scene, Jin Shenghuan gritted his teeth tightly, his face trembled, and his face was also very complicated and ugly.
Damn, I didn’t expect that the Tang army’s momentum would reach such a level!
"I'm going to order the entire army to not panic." Jin Shenghuan looked around his own anxious subordinates and shouted loudly: "The Tang army's military strength is nearly half less than us, and it is far away from the Ba River. As long as we can guard the floating bridge, what's there to be afraid of? Even though our army is tired and has low morale, we can completely defeat these Tang army from afar by the river. As long as we can hold them here, it will be a victory. Everyone should have confidence!"
After Jin Shenghuan's army issued an order, the entire battle formation gradually recovered from the chaos and began to stabilize. The original nervous and panic appearance was greatly eliminated.
However, just as the Left Army was re-stabilizing, in the Tang army battle formation opposite the river bank, nearly 6,000 musketeers in the two rows in front began to strode forward with the sound of drum beats, and then stopped. Then, they immediately began to squat in the front row, stand in the back row, and lined up two shooting formations.
Seeing the Tang army approaching and shooting from across the river, Jin Shenghuan felt a terrified and thought it was not good.
However, he thought again that the Tang army and his own battle formation are now separated by Bahe, and the distance is more than 150 steps. According to the common muskets in the Ming Dynasty, they can only shoot at most 78 steps. It is impossible to directly shoot to his own military formation. Therefore, it is also suspicious whether the Tang army is bluffing.
However, when the Tang army was preparing to shoot, Jin Shenghuan did not dare to slacken at all for safety reasons, and immediately ordered the entire army to open the gap. Several distances were left between each soldier, which was much looser than before.
He hoped that in this way, even if the Tang army was lucky enough to have stray bullets, the entire battle formation could reduce the area of bullets as much as possible. The front row of the Left Army soldiers were almost all the main elites in the Left Army. Everyone had dense armor and large shields, so they had sufficient defense.
However, what Jin Shenghuan would not have thought was that he still underestimated the power of the Tang army's Flintlock Lumi gun.
Just as Jin Shenghuan was nervously thinking about how to act next, a clear call came from the Tang army formation, and then, a continuous musket like a burst of beans sounded and rang out from the other side.
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang!"
There were more than 5,500 muskets with more than 5,500 muzzles, and two rows of black muzzles at the upper and lower sides spewed out bright red flames. The flying flame mouth was like two long bright red ribbons, and it was like the fire of hell, with a kind of heart-pounding fatal beauty.
Large clusters of choking white smoke surged, and more than 5,500 tiny three-cent heavy lead bullets were like the swarm of death bees flying away, making a slight and cheerful cry, and pounced towards the Left Army opposite.
The maximum accurate range of the Shuitou Lumi gun used by the Tang army is 150 steps, but the available range is more than 200 steps. Therefore, compared with the current distance of more than 150 steps, although it has slightly exceeded the accurate range of the Shuitou Lumi gun, it is still within the effective range.
The whistling swarm of death bees, grinning with a grim smile, quickly penetrated into the body of the Left Army soldiers opposite.
Even though the soldiers in the front row were arranged in a dispersed array and separated by large shields, the Tang army's intensive shooting without accuracy still caused a very terrible killing effect.
Immediately, many people had blood flowers bloomed like magic tricks. The person who was hit was like a sudden hit by a heavy hammer and fell backwards.
After all, more than 5,000 fire guns were successfully released, and the killing effect of these 5,000 fire guns, which were successfully released, was very considerable.
At least 600 left-wing soldiers were killed and injured by the Tang army on the spot while far away from the Ba River. The wounded soldiers who fell to the ground screamed and rolled around in a very miserable manner.
Moreover, the impact of these lead bullets is so great that the left army soldiers holding shields that happened to block the lead bullets were really hard to withstand the huge impact, and they staggered backwards, and the scene was in chaos.
Faced with this sudden attack, all the left army soldiers immediately began to appear in chaos. The front row was crowded with soldiers and panic, not knowing what to do next.
At this moment, Jin Shenghuan is worthy of being a veteran in the battlefield. When he saw the Tang army making a quick decision, he shouted sternly: "The whole army obeys the order! Defend it on the spot immediately, retreat thirty steps back, and do not lose your position!"
"Get orders!"
As soon as the left army encountered a general amnesty, they retreated one after another. Even the soldiers blocked the bridge began to retreat. However, the entire formation was even more chaotic because everyone was eager to escape.
At this moment, what the more than 60,000 left army did not expect was that behind them, there was another faint noise.
Chapter completed!
