Chapter 254 Shelling Zuojia Army

He Xing turned around and saw that his comrades were all behind, leaving him alone to chase Li Guoying.

At this time, both sides were about eighty steps away. He Xing knew that Li Guoying was a general after all. If he chased him and fought with this guy one-on-one, he would definitely not be his opponent. The tiger-winged gun that could restrain the powerful enemy in melee battle had already fired the bullets. Thinking of this, He Xing took off his poison gun from his back and aimed at Li Guoying's back from afar.

Although the distance between the two sides is only eighty steps, with He Xing's gun technique, hitting the target within 300 steps is not a problem. However, this is on the bumpy horseback, and the opponent is constantly moving, so it is not easy to hit.

He Xing estimated in his mind that he aimed in advance and pulled the trigger.

With a "bang", a blood flower spewed out from the back of Li Guoying, who was running in front of him, and a backward green onion fell from the horse's back.

The war horse that lost its master continued to run forward for a few steps, then stopped, stood on the side of the road and lowered his head to eat grass.

He Xing rode forward dozens of steps, and arrived at Li Guoying who was lying on the ground, turned over and dismounted, turning Li Guoying who was lying on the ground, and saw that his eyes were wide open, his pupils had dilated, and he had already lost his breath.

In the future, the Han army in the Han army was in red flag and followed Haoge to make great contributions. Later, Li Guoying, who became the governor of Sichuan, died before he could fulfill his ambitions and ended up dying with his eyes open. His war horse became He Xing's spoil.

Ye Bushang, who was behind, also followed. They cut off Li Guoying's head and put it in a bag. In fact, the new army had long since stopped slicing the head to record merits, but instead took the method of calculating merit points to record merits. However, if they killed a big fish like Li Guoying, they still had to cut off their heads.

More than 10,000 people under Li Guoying were wiped out, and more than 5,000 were killed or injured, and more than 4,000 were captured. The seriously injured soldiers were basically not necessary to be treated. Whether they were broken by artillery shells, penetrated by projectiles, or pierced by triangular pricks, they could be said to be unable to save them, so the new army simply relieved their pain.

The slightly wounded soldiers were bandaged and left among the prisoners. Waiting for the fate of these prisoners, they would be sent to various subway mines for hard labor. The prisoners must serve at least three years of hard labor. After three years, good performance will be incorporated into future colonial companies and become the army of the colonial companies, and used to implement Zhao Peng's future sinful colonial plan.

More than 10,000 elite troops in the future were gone like this, and our Qing Dynasty lost more than 10,000 elite troops in advance.

While Zhao Peng annihilated Li Guoying's troops, his aid troops had already become angry with Zuo Menggeng's main force.

Two days ago, when Li Guoying was attacking Nanyang City fiercely, Zuo Menggeng's main force set up camp behind. When Zhao Peng's mobile troops arrived, 20,000 new troops were responsible for the aid mission and blocked Zuo Menggeng's main force. Zhao Peng himself brought 10,000 people to annihilate Li Guoying.

Zuo Menggeng discovered that the Nanjing New Army, which suddenly blocked him and Li Guoying, did not build camps, but arranged troops in the open ground. So Zuo Menggeng gave his order, and his more than 100,000 troops launched a fierce attack on the formation of the new army's aid troops.

In fact, the new army that had just arrived had no time to set up positions and time was too late, so they had to take field measures to stop Zuo Menggeng.

When Zuo Menggeng first saw that the Ming army opposite was all wearing silver armor and arranged in neat formations, he was shocked: "What a good guy! This Eagle Claw Sun has so much silver! So many elite iron armored soldiers! How much silver does it cost?"

But he thought about it and said to himself, "How is it possible? Where can the Dog Emperor have so much silver? The Dog Emperor's silver is not Zhao Peng, the Eagle Claw Sun. The Dog Emperor also needs to maintain the operation of the court. The salary of the court officials, the military pay of the two towns in Jiangbei, and the resettlement of refugees who fled. These all require silver. The new army has so many cannons, so where can there be silver to make so many armor? It must be fake! Maybe it's like the paper-paste armor is painted with silver paint, and take it out to bluff people."

Thinking of this, Zuo Menggeng was relieved and boldly ordered the entire army to assault.

"Boom Boom Boom" 120 120 12-pound field artillery fired first. When the farthest 12-pound field artillery was still one thousand steps away from its formation, one cannon spit out a tongue of flames. White smoke filled the artillery positions, and dense shells smashed towards the left army like hail.

The solid shells fired by the twelve-pound field gun are much more powerful than the four-pound cavalry gun. A twelve-pound field gun can penetrate a formation with a length of one hundred people if it is well shot. That is to say, one shell may cause more than seventy or eighty casualties in the dense formation! One hundred and twenty shells roared, and except for the seventeen shells that did not accurately hit the Zuo Family Army formation, the rest of the shells all accurately hit the target.

The shells fell into the Zuo family's crowd, and the row of people in the front immediately broke into pieces and turned into blood mist dissipated in the air. The shells smashed two or three people in a row and landed on the ground, and then bounced from the ground. The moment the shells bounced up, the two Zuo family soldiers who were closest to the shells immediately lost their legs, screamed and fell in a pool of blood, wailing in pain.

The shell continued to rise, and at the same time changed its movement trajectory, and advanced forward crookedly, ruthlessly passing through the bodies of the three Zuo Family soldiers, tearing the three soldiers into pieces. Then the shell fell to the ground and jumped up again, changing its trajectory again, and continued to penetrate the crowd and crashed into it.

One hundred and three shells that hit the crowd were like one hundred and three lawn mowers, pushing forward in the crowd in a crooked manner, leaving behind a flesh-and-blood alley.

The first round of artillery attacks of the new army caused at least 5,000 casualties to the Zuo family army! However, this loss was nothing for Zuo Menggeng, who had an army of 140,000, and it was too early to collapse the morale of the army.

Zuo Menggeng shouted: "Brothers, rush over! It takes time for Eagle Claw Sun's cannon to be reloaded. As long as we approach, Eagle Claw Sun's cannon will be useless!"

The grassroots officers of the Zuo family army strictly implemented Zuo Menggeng's orders and forced the soldiers to rush towards the new army. Soon they rushed over more than 300 steps and entered within 600 steps.

"Boom boom boom" Another round of cannons sounded, two hundred six-pound cannons fired, and the muzzle blew, and white smoke rose from the six-pound cannon position. Two hundred shells were like hail, pulling low and straight ballistics through the low altitude, plunging into the dense formation of the Zuo family army, raising a bloody storm.

The power of the six-pound cannon solid shell is much smaller than that of the twelve-pound shells, but there are more of these cannons. The dense shells intertwined and fell into the Zuo family's army crowd, bounced and rolled around in the crowd, just like a net made of flesh and blood from the dense crowd. The person was hit directly by the shells and immediately turned into scattered blood mist or meat paste.

The shells rolled over, leaving behind broken limbs and broken legs, broken weapons, and incomplete bodies. The formation of the Zuo Family Army turned into a hellish tragic situation on earth.

But this is not over. After the six-pound cannon shooting was completed, the Zuo family army had already rushed into less than 300 steps, and the distance was 200 twenty-four-pound mortars that were exerted.

The two hundred twenty-four-pound mortars hidden deep in the New Army's infantry crowd were raised, and the fire tongues were spit out, rows of flowering shells flew into the sky, drawing arcs, like meteor showers, falling to the densest places in the Zuo family's army crowd.

The flowering fire shells either exploded in the three-foot-high air or exploded after landing on the ground. The explosion rumbling and the flames were connected into one piece. In the thick smoke of the flames, shrapnel iron beads flew across the sky, and the Zuo family army was knocked down.

The charging Zuo Family Army obviously slowed down. The killing effect of the new army's three consecutive rounds of artillery bombings on the Zuo Family Army was too shocking. Before even the opponent had arrived, the three consecutive rounds of artillery bombings caused the casualties of the Zuo Family Army to be about 10,000 casualties!

"Road over!" Zuo Menggeng shouted anxiously, "Don't stand there stupidly. If you still don't move, you have to eat shells! Only by rushing up can you survive!"
