Chapter 1291 Despair of the ants!
Compared to other places, the war on the line at dusk seemed particularly cruel.
It can be said that the two sides have reached a point of life and death - they have surpassed ordinary wars, not about the scale of a large scale, but mainly because the atmosphere has been set off.
It's okay here at dusk.
Normal operation.
But Wei Sihe's vanguard troops collapsed!
The vanguard general led more than a thousand cavalry to charge against the flames. In his opinion, at most three or four hundred casualties, he could break through the enemy's firepower net of fire guns. After getting close to the steel monster, he would win.
But he never dreamed that the eighteen tongues of fire were like a demon's hideous mouth.
That's not a tongue of fire.
That is the abyss of hell, endless.
The boys around him kept falling down.
Including war horses!
Although his distance was getting closer, fewer and fewer people were around him. After his first round of volley shots, the loss of battle between him had reached 50%!
In other words, there are only about a thousand cavalry who have the strength to continue charging.
What a terrifying firepower!
Just charging, before meeting, the battle loss reached 50%. Now there is still about a hundred steps away from the steel monster. At this distance, at this speed, two or three hundred people will be lost.
but--
Enough!
There are at most one hundred people in the steel monster, but there are still seven or eight hundred people on its own. If the infantry behind them follow, they will crush the enemy. No matter how fierce their muskets are, they will only be dead.
The pioneer general boosted morale, rode his horse and shot in a row, and roared in a row, "Those who take down the head of the dusk will be rewarded with a reward of ten thousand taels, and will be upgraded to three levels in a row!"
Other cavalrymen have the same idea as vanguard generals.
Retreat now and you have to be attacked from the back, you will die. It is better to continue charging. Moreover, the bounty of ten thousand taels and the temptation of upgrading to three levels in a row are the best horn for the vanguard who is wrong.
Seek wealth and honor in danger, and make your future with your life.
charge.
Continue to charge.
The death of the cha Ze strongly stimulated their hatred. They had to tear the enemy into pieces to vent their hatred. After all, the other party only had a few people.
But our side has lost more than a thousand wars.
This cannot be tolerated.
The infantry behind still charged, and saw that the cavalry in front did not collapse. Although there were sporadic artillery falling into the position, the general who led the infantry quickly reacted and signaled everyone to scatter and rushed forward, so the casualties were greatly reduced.
So I continued to rush.
The war seems to be developing towards a favorable situation.
However……
After the vanguard general shot a few arrows, he was surprised to find that the steel monster had smoke rising. He saw its eight claws stretching on the ground slowly retracting, and then he saw it shrinking bit by bit.
Like a deworming.
It is like a snake, and it seems to be about to entrench and develop its defensive posture.
The pioneer general was ecstatic.
Victory is on the side, and the enemy is about to be rushed to the front by his own cavalry, so he intends to escape. How can he give it a chance? He must do his best to completely destroy it.
It was too late to say it, but it was actually fast.
The time on the battlefield often comes faster than you think, especially for this kind of long-range battle, just when the vanguard general led the remaining 700 people to the front of the Taishan, the Taishan finally closed.
Then another posture began.
The Taishan began to retreat.
The unfast retreat is probably half the speed of the cavalry, which means that sooner or later it will be caught up by the cavalry, but it will make it difficult for the infantry behind the cavalry to catch up.
This situation is very subtle.
This is a time difference.
Sure enough, the vanguard general discovered in pain that when his cavalry approached the steel monster, the enemy still maintained a slow retreat. But what was even more terrifying was that the eighteen flames on the steel monster were still like the hand of the god of death, constantly devouring Erlang's life.
But our side was unable to attack the soldiers behind the eighteenth regiments of flames.
Because of the steel baffle!
What's even more terrifying is that although the cavalry surrounded the steel monster, it could not stop it from moving and was still unstoppable. The key is that fifty muskets stretched out from the body of the steel monster.
Three consecutive shots, three consecutive shots.
The probability of attacking the soldiers inside through the small mouth during movement is too small. Even if there is hope, the opponent still has firepower to suppress it. As long as you get close, you will be overwhelmed by the people...
This is not the most desperate one.
The most desperate thing is that the speed of the steel monster is getting faster and faster, gradually being comparable to that of the cavalry. Then, because the cavalry has charged for a long distance, the steel monster's speed has slowly thrown the cavalry away.
this……
The Pioneer General was a little desperate.
After the distance was widened, the cavalry on his side could only sigh, but the other party still used the firearm to output wildly. In this short moment of battle, there were only about 500 cavalry on his side left by the vanguard general.
In other words, after getting close, two or three hundred people were killed by the enemy, and the distance was further distanced by the enemy.
Charging became useless.
Everything was in vain.
Still chasing?
I can't chase it because the speed of the war horse has dropped, so it's impossible to catch up again.
Then I won’t chase it.
Although I was so angry that I gritted my teeth, the pioneer general understood that the situation was hopeless and I couldn't catch up. It would be better to take the opportunity to stay away from the steel monster, which would reduce casualties.
So he led his army to retreat.
But just after he and the cavalry stopped, they were frightened to find that the steel monster turned a big bend and rushed towards them. The first thing they were the five artillery that were pressing very low, and five flames suddenly exploded.
Then, in the lineup that had just stopped, the war horses and corpses flew together.
The pioneer general was shocked.
He understood that the demon minister of the Ming Dynasty seized the cavalry when it lost its ability to charge and chose to fight back - he could not charge at this time, but the cavalry's mobility was still there.
The Pioneer General shouted angrily, "Distract and retreat!"
When facing the attack of muskets and cannons, the best way is to disperse, and the more you disperse, the better.
The situation reversed instantly.
The cavalry that had charged forward was now in a fan shape and retreated backwards, while the Taishan, who had defended earlier, was now thinking of an evil ghost who was in dispersed and followed behind and spit out flames to reap the lives of the enemy.
The key is that the effect is very good!
The range of muskets, cannons, and machine guns can ensure efficient output during pursuit.
A bigger problem is here.
The vanguard general retreated with the cavalry, which was too abrupt. Before the three thousand infantrymen could react, they saw their cavalry coming back from defeat, while the steel monster rushed towards them fiercely.
The dark muzzle shakes the soul.
The flashing flames knocked on the soul.
But even so, the vanguard general still used his mobility to withdraw the cavalry from the battlefield, and then joined the infantry. Looking at the Taishan who was rushing towards him, he didn't know how to deal with it.
retreat?
Can the infantry run past it?
Continue to use infantry to attack?
But even the cavalry can't defeat it, so why should infantry fight with it?
what to do?
The pioneer general was extremely desperate at this moment. In front of the steel monster, he felt that he and the five thousand erlangs under his command had become ants.
Being ruthlessly crushed.
The key is that after being crushed, I still can't find a way to deal with it. Now I don't even know how to choose to retreat or move forward. If I retreat, the infantry will not win, and the death will be extremely huge.
The infantry could not beat the steel monster.
Death is also great.
Finally, the vanguard general gritted his teeth and planned to gather the last cavalry, use the cavalry as a pawn to block the steel monster, and allow the infantry to turn the front army into the rear army to retreat.
