Chapter 826 Standardized Massacre
Ma Yuanli's side was about to order an attack, but suddenly there was movement on the other side. It seemed that a small team of cavalry was walking out of the array and running towards his own direction.
Ma Yuanli hurriedly raised the thousand-mile mirror to watch. At this time, from the front of the Tang army's battle formation, dozens of well-equipped guards and cavalrymen were surrounded by, and a general wearing fine steel armor and a bright red cloak slowly walked to the front of the formation.
This general is the monk Chang'an, the second town of the Tang Army.
He walked to the formation majestic and shouted loudly at the opposite side of the river bank: "I am a general under the King of Tang, and the monk Chang'an of the second town is also. Which general is the opposite? Come out to talk to me!"
Seeing that Monk An called out from across the river, his aura was so majestic that Ma Yuanli couldn't help but subconsciously shook his whole body.
Ma Yuanli took a long breath and tried to suppress his uneasy mood. He also came to the entire army under the protection of dozens of guard cavalrymen and replied loudly to Monk An on the other side: "I am Ma Yuanli, the general of the left army of the Great Western Kingdom. Monk An. What do you say, but you can speak to me directly!"
Monk An laughed, stroked his long beard and sneered, "Ma Yuanli? I have never heard of it. But Zhang Xianzhong, who is the guy, ordered you to come to Baoning Mansion to die?"
Seeing that he was rude, Ma Yuanli was angry, but still tried to keep calm on his face. He said hatefully: "It's a certain family! Don't slander my emperor. If you have anything to say, just say it!"
When Monk An heard this, he sneered again and shouted, "Fuck! What a bullshit, just a thief leader. I want to tell you, do you know that Zhang Xianzhong's three adopted sons, Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu and Ai Nengqi, are they now the generals who are the only one in our army? Don't you want to follow them, change the party as soon as possible, and turn the darkness into the light?"
Seeing that he mentioned Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu, Ma Yuanli was even more embarrassed and angry, so he said sternly: "Hmph! For the sake of their own wealth and future, they betrayed the emperor and surrendered to the thief Li Xiao. Ma was deeply ashamed! Tell you, don't say it was you, even if Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu led their army, I would also face them ruthlessly and fight for life and death!"
"Oh, that's not bad. It seems that Zhang Xianzhong is trying to win over you, and he can make you work so hard." Monk An sneered and said again: "But even if you don't mention the past, the current situation is that your army is coming far away, with many people, hunger and exhausted, and low fighting spirit, and being double-teamed by my Tang army, it is hard to escape again. In today's battle, even if you don't fight, the winner is still destined. Why do you have to let your subordinates die in vain? To be honest, this town has a kind heart, and I can't bear to commit murder, so I came to the formation to shout to you. You must seize the opportunity and recognize the situation before you can."
Ma Yuanli laughed bitterly, but said with a sarcasm: "Bah! I want me, the general of the Left Army of Daxi Kingdom, to surrender to the thief Li Xiao, it's really awesome! Don't talk nonsense. If you have the ability, you will break the formation. Ma is waiting for clever!"
"Okay! If you have a way in heaven, you don't go, and if you have no way in hell, you will come! Since you are seeking death, the town will fulfill you! You have gone to the eighteen levels of hell, but don't regret it!"
Monk An smiled coldly, his face full of ferocious expression. He didn't say much, and immediately pulled his horse back to the formation. At the same time, Ma Yuanli also snorted coldly and led his army to return to the formation.
After Ma Yuanli returned to the battlefield, he immediately ordered loudly: "The whole army obeys the order! Arrange in a dispersed formation to avoid enemy artillery fire. The whole army attacks together and fight to the death with the Tang army!"
"Run!"
Ma Yuanli's army roared in unison, like a group of crazy bees that suddenly flew away, and even more like a group of bloodthirsty beasts breaking away from their constraints. Everyone was brave and rushed to the Tang army's position.
The enemy troops with a total of 50,000 people had fully dispersed before the rushing to avoid the muskets or arrows that were about to come. The entire formation was like the moon formation, and it was better like a big mouth, as if they were to swallow the Tang army, who was waiting in a straight line on the opposite side.
Facing the enemy army that was coming like a tide, the Tang army commander Monk An had a faint smile on his face, which was as firm as iron.
Humph, you guys who don’t know how to live or die, your ninety cannons are already hungry and thirsty, waiting for you to come up.
"All gunners are careful and be prepared for combat!"
"Get orders!"
Under the order of the general, the gunners who were waiting for the battle immediately began to fix the gun stand, adjust the firing angle, load gunpowder and shells, and soon prepared for the battle.
These 90 heavy dragon beating guns are lined up in a neat line along the Xiaotong water behind. At noon on winter, the silver-gray cannon barrels shine with a dazzling cold light. At first glance, they are majestic and majestic. Moreover, the muzzles of each heavy dragon beating gun are placed horizontally parallel to the ground in order to obtain the greatest and best killing effect.
When he saw the general artillery cast in the Ming Dynasty, the second general artillery, the tiger squat cannon, and the so-called red barbarian cannon, Ma Yuanli finally saw this huge dragon cannon like a giant beast with his own eyes. The shock and impact in his heart were simply hard to describe in words.
He could almost feel that the huge platoons of the Tang army were not only so scary, but once they were activated, their attack and destructive power would be even more amazing.
Unfortunately, he was a general who had experienced a lot of battle formations. At this moment, when he saw that the Tang army could launch so many giant artillery battles, his face suddenly felt cold sweat, and his face was pale in an instant.
He could imagine how serious and even devastating the morale and fighting spirit of his army would be hit by such giant artillery.
However, now the entire army is like a wild horse that has broken away from its reins. It is impossible for them to retreat even if they want them to retreat.
What is the result of this battle? Maybe it’s up to God’s will...
It should be said that everything went very smoothly from the beginning of the attack to the closer and closer distance from the Tang army.
When the enemy army rushed to the Tang army battle formation outside the south gate about a thousand steps, the entire Tang army's position was still quiet.
After eight hundred steps, the Tang army still did not move.
With seven hundred steps and the entire Tang army battle formation was clearly visible, the Tang army's original formation was still not moving.
The enemy troops shouted and rushed all the way, finally reached a distance of 600 steps.
The giant beast that had been silent for a long time finally revealed its sharp and cruel fangs.
The red flag in the hand of the Tang army commander Monk An raised it high and waved it hard.
"Prepare, open fire!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
...
90 heavy dragon-killing cannons with 32 kilograms of shells immediately sprayed out bloody red flames and dazzling golden flames, like countless golden flowers blooming brightly in the sun. In the thick and choking white smoke, ninety black and hot iron bombs penetrated the smoke and rain curtains, and rushed towards the enemy troops towards the opposite side.
The iron bullet whistled through the crowd that was running hard, and with absolutely powerful terrifying power, it plowed out straight bloody paths with flesh and blood. Wherever the iron bullet reached, screamed in tears, and the broken limbs and internal organs of the human body splashed everywhere, causing absolutely terrifying death and damage to the running enemy.
Because the enemy was already very close, the range of shooting and penetration was very wide and deep. Although such parallel shooting was not accurate, and the rushing personnel were relatively scattered, the damage caused to the enemy on the other side was still considerable when these ninety iron bombs were so close to the shooting.
The first round of artillery volleys instantly caused more than 200 enemy troops to be killed and more than 400 were injured. Although it seemed that the killing was limited, it was not an exaggeration to say such a dense artillery volley, such an absolutely powerful and terrifying death, would almost be a devastating blow to the morale of the enemy.
The enemy troops suddenly attacked by fierce artillery fire immediately began to experience huge chaos and panic. The battle formations that were originally rushing forward suddenly started to chaotic things, and even many defeated soldiers turned around and fled. The speed of the entire military formation began to slow down greatly.
The escort cavalry next to Ma Yuanli was furious when he saw this scene. He and his escort team immediately dispatched urgently and slashed the soldiers who had retreated and fled, and finally stabilized the situation again.
And at this time, the second round of artillery fired fiercely again.
As the entire enemy finally recovered from panic, the next round of artillery attacks of the Tang army began again.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
...
There were ninety black 32 kilograms of iron bullets, like heavy punches from the god of death, whistling in an extremely terrifying posture.
This second round of shooting also caused terrible damage and increasingly panic, and hundreds of enemy troops were either killed or injured, and flesh and blood were flying everywhere and killed on the spot.
All the enemy soldiers, who were already very scared, were deeply afraid of such almost absolute death and terror. After this round of artillery attack, they almost instinctively began to retreat and flee. The entire charge of the enemy army began to show a strange scene where half of them were still charging, while the other half were fleeing.
Such a breakup is quite infectious.
The other half was still rushing forward regardless of life and death. Seeing that many soldiers in the formation were already defeated by the Tang army's artillery, the army's morale was also depressed for a while and everyone was in danger. Although they were still rushing forward with their teeth, their speed was reduced a lot in an instant, and it was more just a habit and fear of the cavalry behind them.
At this moment, the third round of artillery bombardment of the Tang army began.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
...
The sound of cannons rumbling, iron bullets flew, and the powerful violence and rapid death quickly made hundreds of enemy troops' bodies not complete and bloody.
In the face of such extremely powerful violence and complete death, human struggle and resistance are almost a joke.
The remaining half of the soldiers rushed to the formation finally returned to zero. Now they don’t need anyone to mobilize. Someone shouted, and the guys immediately turned around and ran back, howling and fleeing away with their heads and heads only 200 steps away from the Tang army formation.
Their escape was so determined and unstoppable, like a large group of crazy beasts, as if they could knock anything that blocked them to the ground.
For a moment, the enemy was in chaos and the entire battle formation was no longer in order.
At this time, in the back formation, he saw his soldiers under him, who were only more than 200 steps away from the Tang army's battle formation, and were beaten to flee and retreat by three rounds of artillery fires in the Tang army. Ma Yuanli, the chief general of the behind-the-scene formation, was furious.
"No retreat! No retreat! You bastards, keep rushing for me! Everyone will be rewarded if they retreat again, they will definitely be killed!"
Ma Yuanli drew his sword and shouted angrily, urging the formation repeatedly, and rushed forward with his guards and cavalrymen, killing more than ten soldiers who fled behind him.
Ma Yuanli shouted at the top of his lungs, and his face was covered with blood, making the angry and distorted face look even more terrifying and terrifying.
However, the defeated soldiers retreated from the front like a tide, and no matter how Ma Yuanli and others cut and slashed, it was useless.
The enemy soldiers began to retreat in full swing, and the Tang army's battle formation immediately began to operate simultaneously.
The Tang cavalry hiding in the back formation and in the woods on both sides, totaling about 4,000 cavalry, and rushed towards Ma Yuanli's army.
Their purpose is to completely cut off the Ma Yuanli tribe's retreat and strive to eliminate them all.
If we can successfully encircle the 50,000 troops of Ma Yuanli's troops will be destroyed in the vast land west of Xiaotong River.
Like two giant clamps, the Tang cavalry attacking from both directions rolled up the rolling smoke and dust, and roared towards Ma Yuanli's bread-climbing behind him.
As soon as the cavalry moved, the infantry was unwilling to let it go.
Seeing the black army of Ma Yuanli's troops rushing into the formation, they finally collapsed completely under the heavy blow of their own dragon guns. The entire army began to flee in a hurry. Continuous and loud cheers sounded from the Tang army formation.
A large number of Tang army spearmen with complete armor and armor holding sharp and steel spears jumped out from behind the shield soldiers, walked quickly, and followed the enemy soldiers who were fleeing.
They were energetic and ran quickly. As soon as they approached, the 4-meter-long steel spear, and the sharp and terrifying triangular blood-trough gun head were stabbed at the fleeing Ma Yuanli's soldiers 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 enemy screamed and struggled and fell to die.
Under the pursuit of the Tang army, the enemy army was even more heartbroken. They threw their weapons one after another, howling and accelerated their escape even more desperately, like a group of pigs that ignored their butts. There was no need to talk about any organization or discipline. Everyone retreated and ran desperately, fearing that they would fall behind and become the Tang army's ghost under the sword and gun under the soul.
Don't be too happy with such a unilateral and ruthless massacre.
For a time, the Tang army's spearmen and cavalry formed a benign interaction on the battlefield. The spearmen chased the defeated soldiers at the tail end, and the cavalry surrounded their flanks. The two troops fought together to eliminate the fleeing enemy troops in large groups, causing a devastating blow to them who were fleeing in a hurry.
At first glance, the entire battlefield was like a human slaughterhouse, with the corpses of enemy soldiers spreading on the ground, scattered in all directions, and the blood overflowing everywhere actually gathered into a red blood river.
This long river of blood is winding and flowing, and the striking rainbow makes people feel terrified, which shows how cruel this killing is.
Such a pre-eminent artillery attack, and the whole army defeated the troops together, has become a standardized massacre model of the Tang army.
Ma Yuanli, the deputy general who had been postponing the supervision, saw that his 50,000 troops were completely defeated before he even encountered the Tang army formation. The anger and frustration in his heart were hard to describe in words.
Damn, this fucking battle can make people feel frustrated!
