Lord of the House - v12 Chapter 84
Early in the summer and the day after tomorrow, the sky is brightly lit up at dawn, and the white half moon floats in the sky, silently watching the boundless slaughter in the dim world.
Bing Ge chilling gas filled the four fields.
The camps, where the earth was dug into the trenches and the wood was made into the fence, were burning with fire, reflecting the endless pools of blood. There was no killing, and nowhere seemed to be without a corpse.
Chen Zhu stood on the soil **** with the commanding knife, the thin scale armor shone like lake water in the dim light, and the lining exuded the smell of sweat and blood—Chen Zhu moved the battle flag to this side, the battlefield here It hasn’t been cleaned up yet. There are still more than a dozen people who have lost their horses and are still stubborn. Chen Zhu drew his sword and went up, splashed with boiling blood, and couldn’t wipe it clean.
Behind an old mulberry tree with a large piece of iron bullets slashed in the middle, the green leaves shook together, and the dozens of dead bodies under the tree had been cleared away at this time, leaving a pool of coagulated blood.
Chen Zhuohu’s eyes were all murderous, staring at the battlefield in front of the hillside.
The Huaidong Army had the intention of encircling and annihilating the remaining enemy on the west bank of the Fenghe River. However, the enemy commander, Na Hewugu, insisted on not retreating. Instead, he deliberately tried to take advantage of his cavalry to divide the Huaidong Army from the several lines of attacking and attacking all the way.
There are more than 15,000 cavalry soldiers led by Hewugu in Zhangjiawan. He is good or bad, and the head-on attack is exactly the first Denghai town division led by Dengcheng Tiger Chen Zui. The fourth and fifth brigades, a new brigade and a reserve brigade.
Fifteen thousand elite infantry brigades, shrunk together, may not necessarily be able to withstand the impact of a considerable number of enemy cavalry, while the Huaidong Army emphasized the concept of depth and echelon in the horse infantry tactics. Even if the 5th Brigade, the New Brigade, and the Reserve Brigade were lagging behind and shrinking in formation, Chen Zuo personally led the 6,000 elites of the 1st and 4th Brigades, facing the direction of the enemy’s attack, and dashed forward in two cone-shaped arrays.
At the beginning of the battle, although the artillery incorporated into the array could not play a role in time, the generals of the Denghai Town Division did not all use traditions, weapons, and blood and flesh to fight hard to hold the enemy cavalry. ‘s charge…
Due to the immature technology of the Ordnance Superintendent’s explosive bomb, the probability of exploding the chamber is too high, so it was not used in actual combat this time, but the Fu Huo Lei, which is similar to the explosive bomb, gave the enemy a lot of “surprises”.
The outer shell is made of thin iron, filled with lead pellets and gunpowder, closed with a cock, and drawn out by a drug screw, which is the Fu Huo Lei made by the Huaidong Ordnance Supervision, which can be said to be the prototype of the hand grenade. It’s just that the Ordnance Supervisor called it “Fuhuo Lei”, and Lin Fu let them go.
Although the scorpion crossbow can be used, when engaging in a battle, the ambulance thunder that is ignited by the medicine mandrel is thrown into the enemy’s line by hand, and it explodes and sprays lead pellets and shell fragments to kill the enemy’s pawns.
Although the power of Fu Huo Lei is much worse than that of shotguns fired at close range, it is convenient to throw, especially when rushing in contact with the enemy and fighting in complex terrain, it has the convenience that artillery is far from.
It’s just that this fire-fighting mine is also newly built, and the number is extremely limited. Even the military has no plan to use fire-fighting mines in the Northern Expedition. Even the Denghai Town Division, who prioritized the use of firearms, had only one sentry trained before the war. After winning Jinhai City, 2,000 fire thunders were transported to Jinhai with the supply ship, and the first batch of equipment arrived at Denghai. Master of the Sea.
Facing the enemy’s elite cavalry, the biggest problem for the infantry brigade when advancing is how to suppress its own position.
In all fairness, the damage of Fu Huo Lei to the charging cavalry array is not very strong. First, the array is relatively scattered when the cavalry charges, and the second is that the huge warhorse’s bullet surface is much larger than that of the cavalry on horseback. Mostly, the third is the explosion of fire and thunder on the ground. Seven or eight out of ten lead pellets will hit the horse’s belly, and less often they will directly hit the enemy’s pawn.
However, the Fu Huo Lei exploded in the enemy’s line, with an earth-shattering sound, projectiles shot everywhere, and smoke filled with gunpowder, which only shocked the normally well-trained warhorses, fled in all directions, and immediately called the front line of the enemy cavalry charge into chaos. group.
When the enemy is in chaos, you will be safe.
The 1st and 4th brigades, mainly infantry, seized the opportunity to enter the enemy’s line and rampage, killing the Yanhu people to overturn their horses, cry their fathers and their mothers, and beat them straight to the camp to retreat, and for a while. Don’t dare to take advantage of the high speed of people and horses to invade the Huaidong Infantry Brigade, which is advancing in the night…
At dawn, Chen Zhuo led the 1st and 4th brigades to seize the unnamed low mountain on the west flank of Zhangjiawan, and after eliminating the enemy’s camp here, he bullied the cavalry brigade with his foot brigades, and came from the flank and rear flank. With the cooperation of the Fifth Brigade, they stormed the camp of the captives in Zhangjiawan.
The barracks camp can be said to be a model of cavalry camps for the advancement of cold weapons. It is dominated by a large village on the side of Zhangjiawanju Avenue. The camps are connected in circles. In the main camp, no deep trenches were dug on the periphery of the entire camp; probably because the prisoners had been transferred from the west of the Wei River in a hurry, there was no time to dig long trenches.
Such a camp can only be said to be rudimentary in front of the Huaidong Army elite brigade.
Countless Huaidong soldiers pressed into the front of the fortress, restraining the charge of the enemy cavalry. Dozens of light artillery pieces were dragged from the north and northeast flanks to the front of the formation. The fence wall, mercilessly tore the enemy troops who dismounted to fight to pieces…
Standing on the top of the mountain in front of Zhangjiawan and overlooking the battlefield, Tong Huacheng could only helplessly watch as two cronies shot a solid bullet through the chest at the same time and died.
The blood splashed on his face, Tong Huacheng stood on the highest hill in Zhangjiawan, and could see Sandun Bridge, Luohedian and other camps ignited, knowing that the general trend was lost and could not be recovered by manpower, and it was night time. The Huaidong cavalry who had previously reconnaissed to enter the north bank of the Chaobai River had not yet entered the battlefield. If they wanted to flee west at this time, they would also be ruthlessly intercepted…
After the Huaidong Army occupied Jinhai, the troops deployed from the two flanks in the early stage seemed to be weak, but they were actually trying to attract the main force of Dayan to the middle road for a decisive battle; It can’t be said to be particularly powerful, and even Na He Wugu saw a possibility of defeating the Huaidong Army. After all, the Huaidong Army wanted to attract them like gamblers to the battlefield on the west bank of the Fenghe River, called Two Wings. Troops and horses have the opportunity to encircle and annihilate them.
Otherwise, in the battle of crossing the river, the Huaidong Army would have used the ambulance thunder that was thrown to the ground and exploded. The erosion!
“General Tong, General Tong…”
Tong Huacheng wiped the blood from his face, and when he looked back, he saw that Ye Jizuolin, the son of Chengji County King Ye Jiluorong and the leader of Zuo Shen in front of Nahewu’s solitary tent, rode on a horse covered in blood.
“Little prince!”
Although Ye Jizuolin has practiced martial arts since childhood and is skilled in bowing and horses, this is the first time he has participated in such a cruel battle, but seeing Rongxu’s first-born lips trembling for some reason or not, when he arrives in front of Tong Huacheng, With a crying voice, he reprimanded: “General Tong, the old man was hit by an iron bullet, and I called you to lead the troops…”
Even if he didn’t die from Huaidong’s shelling, he wouldn’t live for a long time. Hearing that the coach Na He Wugu was unfortunately shot, Tong Huacheng was also shocked and his hands and feet trembled, and he asked in surprise, “Where’s Wutu Eqing?”
Tong Huacheng is a guest general. Although he is in charge of the West Temple Supervisor, he is also a high-ranking officer. If something goes wrong with Hewu Gu, he should also be his lieutenant to command the war—
“General Wutu has been killed…” Ye Ji Zuolin wailed.
Tong Huacheng got on his horse and followed Ye Ji Zuo Lin to the foot of Tushan Mountain. In the courtyard where the walls were smashed to pieces, he saw Na He Wugu with a smashed left shoulder.
That He Wugu only had time to take a look at Tong Huacheng, and he died without a word, and the generals just looked at Tong Huacheng in desperation – Fan Wenlan in the courtyard came in with a disheveled hair, seeing this kind of The situation, and the sound of the Huaidong Army soldiers charging and the roar of artillery can be heard two or three hundred paces away, he sat down on the ground and wailed: “It’s too late to retreat west, only down to you…”
“Bullshit!” Tong Huacheng pulled out his saber and slashed at Fan Wenlan viciously. Seeing him crawling towards the corner of the wall in horror, his heart was full of mixed feelings, and he lowered his saber: 20,000 Donghu teenagers all died in battle here, what does he look like? Surrender and beg?
****************
Tong Huacheng was in danger, and the battle situation had deteriorated to the point where no man could save it, so he could only order the remnants to break out to the west, hoping that the Huaidong Army would not be so fast to seal the gap in the west, and hoped to escape more. Some people keep some vitality for Dayan, hoping that the princes and ministers of Yanjing will wake up at this time and prepare to abandon their capital and flee to Datong or Taiyuan…
When the sun jumped over the horizon~www.mtlnovel.com~ Tong Huacheng led the remnants to get rid of the Huaidong Army’s pursuit from the east. He made the remnants continue to advance. He restrained the horse and stopped under the tree, hoping to gather more troops. Lots of remnants.
Before nightfall, in Zhangjiawan, Luohedian, and Sandunqiao, Dayan had more than 40,000 elite infantry soldiers, most of whom were children of the Donghu family, loyal to Dayan and Donghu, but here For a moment, Tong Huacheng really doubted whether one-third of the troops escaped.
Blood and courage are sometimes unacceptable. If He Wugu can put down his thoughts of fighting to the death sooner, not to mention all the 40,000 cavalry, it would be no problem to withdraw seven or eight adults.
It would take two days for the Huaidong Army to advance to the city of Yanjing, and two days were enough for them to **** the royal family to urgently evacuate from Yanjing and flee to Datong or Dalian. The lives of 20,000 or 30,000 Donghu men were buried in vain on the **** battlefield.
It’s just that I can’t describe how much Tong Huacheng thought about it. At this time, the North Wing police whistle made a big call, and then the faint sound of horses’ hooves came like a shower… Tong Huacheng closed his eyes in despair. , Huaidong cavalry, who have never appeared on the battlefield, always have to play some role, maybe they will be here for some time, just waiting for them to pass the fierce and sure-kill blow…
Tong Huacheng looked at the generals around him who were in despair. From their ignorance and bravery at the beginning, they turned into frightened birds who fled westward, and had lost the courage to fight the Huaidong Army head-on.
Tong Huacheng pulled out his saber and waved it to the north. He didn’t say anything. He just slowly accelerated his horse. However, only a dozen cavalry followed him and launched a deadly charge towards the Huaidong cavalry formation. Run to the south… My QT room is open!
