Chapter 989: Counterattack on all fronts
Lightning and thunder soon thundered in the sky, giving people a very oppressive and eerie sense of horror. At this moment, the six artillery pieces have been debugged, in order to achieve the maximum maximum to deal heavy blows to the enemy, so as to destroy the opponent's cavalry's will to resist, Yang Si chose to attack the target of the attack from as close as six miles to as far as twelve miles, and fired three shots in a row.
In other words, in this six-mile Warat barracks, in a very short period of time, six artillery pieces had to fire three shots in succession, that is, eighteen shells fired continuously, and it is conceivable how great the killing and shocking power of such artillery fire would bring to people without preparation.
"Ready... Put. Seeing that the time was coming and everything was ready, the red order flag in Yang Si's hand suddenly fell, and then the six cannons made a roar-like sound, and the six cannonballs shot out of the barrel and flew straight out of the city. In the square, the people did not mean to disperse because of the heavy rain, and they still stared wide-eyed as the cannon emitted an instantaneous light and roar.
Outside the city, the front line of the Warat cavalry was less than three miles away from the city wall, and they seemed to want to use this way to oppress the five-star army in order to show their strength. And at this moment, the forward position here has undoubtedly become an artillery and a focal point. First, a whistling sound sounded, and then "Boom! After a bang, a deep pit appeared, and the two tents in the pit were instantly wiped out, and other tents on the side were also affected, with varying degrees of damage and casualties.
The assault began, and a cannon shell made a graceful arc in the sky before falling into the Varat camp, and in the roar of the roar, one tent after another was destroyed, and groups of unprepared Varat cavalry were killed, wounded, and frightened.
Seeing that the heavy rain was coming, he was patrolling the barracks with his personnel, trying to see if there was still a military tent that was not tied properly, and which stable door was not closed. It was this action that saved his life, and in the blink of an eye, the main tent of the army he was in was bombed to the ground, and then a huge pit appeared, and under the precise ruler, the dozen or so personal soldiers guarding there and a concubine belonging to him in the tent all dissipated between heaven and earth at this moment.
When he turned his head, his eyes widened first, his face full of disbelief. At this moment, the scene hidden in his heart reappeared, the siege of the city for more than a month had made him forget what kind of powerful firearms his opponent had, and all the memories of this moment poured into his mind, and at this moment his eyes showed a look of fear.
"Boom, boom..."
The artillery was fired one after another, and in just two minutes, eighteen shells were fired. If we only say that the shells carry the wounds of the Varat cavalry, it is only hundreds of dead and hundreds of wounded, which is nothing for a cavalry team with nearly 140,000 troops.
The effect of hurting people is limited, and the purpose of demoralization is the main one. Under the eighteen shells, the Varat cavalry was dizzy, and they were frightened, and the originally high morale in their hearts was completely destroyed. And at this moment, the loud trumpet of the stormtroopers sounded, and then 70,000
The multi-five-star army began a frantic counterattack. As if out of thin air, they suddenly appeared in all directions of the Warat barracks. At some point, the four outer gates of the First City opened, and too many cavalry warriors poured out of them.
The entire army in the city, except for the infantry division of the New Second Army, which continued to stay on the city wall, the other cavalry teams all came out, and they came like locusts raging, and in a very short time came to the periphery of the Warat military camp, carrying out a frenzied slaughter.
Among these attacking armies, the attack of the 1st Division of the Cavalry of the World was the most rapid. Among them, at least a quarter of them had originally been with Tokhoff without sweating, such as the third regiment commander Ku Xiao'er was still deeply favored by Tokhoff without sweating, and now that the enemy was in front of him, he used all his strength when he charged.
Originally, the combat power of the first cavalry division in the world was very terrifying, and now it is using all its strength, you can imagine what kind of desperate feeling it will bring people. But everywhere they passed, the Varat cavalry was all men and horses, and they were stained with blood.
After such a long time of hard work and dedication, the Tatar division at this moment has also become a representative of the existence of powerful combat power, their appearance is like a torrent, closely followed by the left side of the first cavalry division of the world with hundreds of arrows into the Warat cavalry camp, inflicting heavy losses on the enemy.
The New First Army and the New Second Army also rushed out of Shicheng. Their strength lies in their large numbers, everyone can huddle each other to keep warm, can ensure the safety of the left and right flanks, and the warriors only need to go forward and take the head of the target. Under this kind of distraction, everyone played at the best level, and once came, no one could stop them.
Finally, there were 20,000 people in the Mobei Division and the Mobei Division. Relatively speaking, their strength is the weakest, especially the cavalry of the northern desert tribe, they are used to fighting alone, and they don't know what is called coordinated combat and what is called coordinated attack. If it is in peacetime, with their strength, facing the Warat cavalry, whose strength has always been not weak, even if there are more people, it is difficult to make any gains.
But today is completely different, they are following behind the main force of the Five-Star Army, and they are still making a surprise attack. This kind of rush is not an open formation, as long as they are not isolated, there is no danger. In such an environment, they can also give better play to their strength, and try their best to kill those who have been beaten and defeated in the end.
It is not true to say that the army will not be defeated. The cannonballs were indeed blown up by the Warat cavalry, but when a terrible horn sounded, indicating that a large army was coming, the Warat cavalry showed their excellent military qualities, and many cavalrymen came to the stable to find their own horses, took their own swords, and rushed towards the five-star army in the distance. This is where the Varat cavalry comes in.
Perhaps they were accustomed to stealing camps from time to time, and once they found that the enemy suddenly appeared, they didn't need to ask them to do anything at all, and these cavalry could resist with experience. There were even several times when the enemy slashed and returned.
Only this time, in the face of the same excellent, and even the overall quality of some groups is still above the Warat cavalry, it is impossible to turn defeat into victory, it just depends on how much they can lose.
Yexian's main tent was wiped out by the artillery, and he was stunned for a while, until his two generals, Helei and Mutor, came to his side and asked for instructions on what to do next. ”
"Lord Chief, now according to the news reported back by the scouts of each battalion, there are at least seventy or eighty thousand people in the Five-Star Army, and they are attacking our camp in different directions, although our cavalry warriors are resisting bravely, but the enemy is too fierce and too sudden, and now some peripheral camps have been occupied." General Helei was originally responsible for the security of the entire battalion, so naturally there was no need to make any preparations when he reported this matter.
"The outlying camp has been occupied, and you said that there are seventy or eighty thousand people in the Five-Star Army, how is this possible? Where do they have so many cavalry, they have such strength, why do they blindly defend the city? After hearing the report of these detailed figures, his face was full of incredulity.
Before the war, he and Alipu had done a survey, the Five-Star Army was just a new army on the grassland, nearly 30,000 people, plus a few thousand people in the first division of the world's cavalry with a very loud name, even if it was plus 20,000 people in Mobei City, which guarded Mobei City, it was only more than 50,000. Besides, Alipu was in a hurry to leave, just because it was confirmed that someone was making trouble in Yili Sholi, which should have been done by the Five-Star Army.
Even if they had already divided their troops and gone to Yili Rangli, how could they still have so many troops left here, and the number of them far exceeded his survey data?
"Lord Chief, did you say that the Five-Star Army recruited a large number of people as soldiers in the First City, you know, there are more than 500,000 people in the First City, and they are gathered together, and it is not difficult to select tens of thousands or even more adult men from this." He Lei had already thought about a question in his heart, and when he saw that the time was right, he told his conjecture.
"Yes, that's how it should be. They must be trying to create a huge formation to force us to retreat, so that the danger of the First City can be solved. Another general, Mutor, agreed with Helei's idea and said out loud.
A thought flashed in Ye Xian's eyes, and after about two breaths, he nodded, "Okay, then go and try the other party's catties, Mu Tuoer, this matter will be left to you, General Helei, you must pay attention to the situation of each battalion at any time, and if there is any danger, you must send troops to support in time." Hmph, even if the five-star army wants to scare the leader with the number of people, then have a good deal with him, I want to see, without any conspiracy and tricks, who is the winner. ”
"Yes." Mutor bowed excitedly and left. Since the last time he led 30,000 cavalry to attack the Mobei direction, he was picked up by the world's first cavalry division and Tatar division, and he felt that he could not hold his head up in the army for a while. Now that I have the opportunity to lead the troops again, of course I will cherish it and perform well.
