Chapter 1069 The gravel is flying by itself (2)

The Fen River Valley, where the war is in full swing, is in Xiangling County, Jinzhou.

As the cruising group, Wang Yanfu also held a bead gun and hung a blaster on his waist, leading the team to march through the northwest-facing field with the beat of the drum. He also blew the whistle from time to time and stopped to the whole team, and pulled the "protrusions" that were too fast when they were nervous and moved into the array line again.

As the elite and pioneering sequence of the army, half of them were equipped with the "Five Years of Taiping" standard long guns that were far away and within 180 steps; and half were equipped with the "Seven Years of Taiping" (Runner) continuous bead guns that were thirty-four steps away; and a few old soldiers and non-commissioned officers carried oval bombs to think of a siege.

Apart from dozens of steps behind them, there were the same number of (Class I/A) auxiliary soldiers, half carrying and carrying ammunition and spare equipment, half holding short soldiers and round cards as sieges, and at the same time they were responsible for sheltering the wounded and picking up the lost equipment and debris.

In the chaotic battlefield ahead of them, from time to time, groups of Jin soldiers rushed out of the smoke and dust rolling upwards, holding swords and spears, swords and shields to kill them; then the Taiping Army, which was slowly advancing in a horizontal formation, shot people with long and short muskets, and then scattered again and fled to the distance.

Only a few enemy soldiers could rush to them with Yu Yong, but most of the time, even the explosive bombs carried by veterans in the back team did not have the chance to use them. Just under a pile of tacit and skillful guns, they screamed and died or fled, or simply knelt down and beg for mercy; and became the captives of the auxiliary soldiers who followed behind.

For a moment, the stimulation of thick ablation of fireworks, bloody sweat and smell of metal leather were all in their mouths and noses. Amid the rumbling sounds behind them, whistling cannons passed by from time to time, splashing a bunch of earth and rocks flying around and dust splashing everywhere like rain.

Although most of the cannons were shot down in the air, only a few would gather in the battlefield or run around and run around among the enemy troops; however, this invisible probability of being hit out of thin air anytime and anywhere has caused terrible pressure and shock to the Jin soldiers in the battle.

Often, as long as a cannon explodes nearby, even if it is just affected by flying gravel and soil, it will cause the morale and bravery of the Jin soldiers who have finally gathered together, and they will quickly disappear like the melting snow under the scorching sun, and then collapse and flee again.

During this period, there were three or five Taiping cavalry holding horse hooves and green flags, roaring over their teams in the wind and dust, breaking into the distant Jin army infantry who tried to regroup after being dispersed and destroyed. They were wielding hand guns and sword spears, poking them down, chopping them over, and chasing them privately.

By chance, they would also encounter Jin cavalry who were waiting for an opportunity to counterattack. They chased each other over and over again, and kept hitting each other with close guns, ramming head-on, slashing the swords and spears, and shooting down each other's passing one after another; until they defeated or repelled each other.

Of course, if these Taiping cavalry end up in a disadvantage, they will try to get out of the battle and contact as much as possible and move towards the infantry where Wang Yanfu is; at this time, the strict array of Taiping infantry will become the iron felt and barriers in the battlefield, like temporary shelter;

They will transform into a team to form a square hollow formation, and use muskets to snipe and sluggish Jin cavalry to chase after them; while guiding and responding to the Taiping Tucao retreating into the auxiliary soldiers in the rear row, conducting a brief restructuring and replenishment; and then launching a counterattack again with the cooperation of the infantry.

If the enemy cavalry temporarily has a local advantage and an advantage, the first sway group will often rise, guiding the rear heavy firearms to support several fireworks; then attracting rear chariots from hundreds to hundreds of steps away, flying fire thunder (Hell rockets) and riding cavalry cannons to expel and suppress the diffuse bombardment.

If you encounter a stronghold, the cavalry and infantry will slowly change directions and leave them to the auxiliary brigade that follows closely. Then, these auxiliary brigades with only light leather armor and cold weapons will block the entrances and exits with wire nets and portable horses taken from carriages and carriages.

Then, there were artillery groups, grenadiers and combat engineers, who were specifically responsible for attacking and fire support, and attacking teams formed by them, to specially fabricate and clean up these remaining enemies who were isolated and rich in isolated strongholds.

In the longitudinal gaps left by these front and rear arrays, there are many auxiliary soldiers who do not have A (Class II/B), who are quick to carry stretchers or lead animals, and transport the wounded and corpses left where they pass, discarded military equipment, prisoners who are contained on the spot, and transport them to the rear like flowing water.

Therefore, if you look down from the birds above, you will see countless Taiping infantry, cavalry, artillery, carriage, baggage and mule horse teams from the lower south, forming a large and small attack array, like a blue tide higher than a wave of lakes, rushing through scattered hills and empty fields;

And in the repeated head-on battles, the impact and counterattack from the Jin army camp on the north side of the higher terrain were constantly repelling and defeating the fireworks blooming and roaring.

All this was like a tsunami stacked up step by step, and it was advancing step by step with a steady and resolute move forward, flooding the strongholds and lineups held by the Jin army in the wilderness.

After several consecutive games, the strength of the Zi Yao was exhausted, and Wang Yan, who had changed from a horizontal team to a square formation, and the square formation turned into a column; he also gave up the front line to fight against the low drum beats and paused and joined forces with the auxiliary brigade who followed up.

The animals and horses were wrapped in the inside, forming a smaller square array, starting from the back column, taking turns to alert and repair on the spot. When they were in a hurry and tightly rested and fed for a short time, replenished ammunition and personnel, and drove back to the battlefield, the sun was already setting.

However, the enemy troops in front of them became sparse. Even though they had passed several positions that had left friendly troops, they still did not encounter established enemies. As the wind became more rapid, the smoke and dust that blocked their vision gradually faded away, and a small river suddenly appeared in front of them;

However, the previous section was quite clear, but when it flowed here, it turned into a faint pink color. It was filled with rippling enemy corpses; it seemed that they were trampling on each other, killing each other, drowning, and killing from behind.

On the other side of the river, thirty or forty steps wide, the defeated enemy soldiers had gathered again, and they pulled bows and shot arrows in rows; and the Taiping soldiers who wanted to venture and try to cross were knocked back in the river or were dragged back with arrows.

The cruising group that had supplemented the medicine and equipment also rushed forward with the cover of a few licensed auxiliary soldiers who had been plundered from both ends amid Wang Yanfu's screams, and then extended the musket across the edge of the shield. The auxiliary soldiers' armpits and shoulders radiated three sections above, middle and lower.

The archers on the other side immediately made the archers turn over and open a lot of gaps unevenly. At this time, an old soldier with great skills and other skills came out again, holding a bead gun and radiating again, like peeling bamboo shoots in the lineup on the other side, and suddenly he broke into pieces without caring about shooting arrows.

Before Wang Yanfu asked the newly replaced drummer to blew the whistle to trek across the river again; he heard a fierce noise and running sound behind him. He couldn't help but turn his head and see, but another cavalry came forward.

However, these sudden appearances were different from most of the Taiping cavalry equipped with narrow swords, short spears and hand guns, or cavalry and infantry that used mules and horses to travel; they were all armored from head to toe, and even their mounts were covered with thick cloth armor and iron scales.

The next moment, these armored cavalrymen passed by Wang Yanfu and jumped into the river without stopping. In front of everyone, they stepped on the river channel without hesitation and were blocked by the most bodies. They rushed to the other side without any damage or obstacles.

They didn't seem to have a large number of people, but they were like a huge cannon that smashed the crowd. The next moment, it was the turn of the other side to intercept the Jin army, who was responsible for blocking it, began to fall into a huge panic of wavering and collapse on the whole line.

"Cross the river...cross the river with someone!!!"

In an instant, Wang Yanfu felt as if he was overwhelmed by a huge joy, and the loudest voice burst out in his throat:

And when they held their muskets and equipment high and stepped out their wet lower bodies and rushed to the other side of the river, the Jin army had already been empty between the Yingzha and the Reima and Lu Chai.

Under the darkened sky, the low Xiangling County and the city joint camp were immediately ahead of their sight. The heavy cavalry that broke through the enemy formation was still galloping and chasing the defeated Jin army...

At this time, the Xiangling City Gate suddenly opened, and a Jin cavalry, who were also fully covered with mounts covered with anti-arrow felt, almost colliding with this Taiping heavy cavalry, diagonally facing each other and fighting head-on.

Seeing this, Wang Yanfu was also worried and anxious. The armoured cavalry team was already exhausted by several formations. At present, they were afraid that they would suffer a loss against the enemy cavalry, which was a new force in the upper city. He waved to the left and right and shouted:

"Come on, keep up..."
