Chapter 59: Decisive Victory 4
The scorching projectiles were splashed out like lightning from the muzzles of these guns like a torrential rain, and the cavalry who rushed to the front almost immediately rose up a blood mist under the dense rain of bullets, and the whole body of the men and horses rose up in a mist of blood, and the batches of war horses did not even have time to neigh, and they crashed to the ground like a big sandbag, and even some officers and soldiers were bombarded into a mess of rotten meat on the spot, and the blood mixed with the minced meat was scattered and splashed out, and there was a cry of surprise and screams at the same time in the officers and troops, even officers and soldiers were so frightened that they fell under their horses on the spot, and were trampled under their feet by the war horses behind them.
Even the horse team that rushed forward was shot several times on the spot in this round of shelling and fell under the horse, and the officers and soldiers of this team at this time no longer had any formation to speak of, and they grabbed the reins of the horses one by one in a panic, trying to turn the horses around and escape from this trap.
But at this time, where will the Xingtian army on three sides give them a chance to escape, and the firecrackers of the Xingtian army in various formations, under the orders of the officers, raised their bird guns one after another, and fired at the chaotic officers and cavalry in front of them in rows.
The officers and soldiers who had just endured a round of shelling could be regarded as having fallen into blood mold, and on three sides were the firearms of the Xingtian Army sounding at them, and rows of bullets flew into their crowd of people, hitting their people or horses hard, raising up clusters of blood, where had these cavalry of the Guanning Army suffered such a blow! Even if they are all some fierce soldiers, but under such artillery fire, there is no way to fight back, although the iron armor they wear can protect against arrows, but in the face of this terrible bird gun of the Heavenly Army, it seems so thin, the flying projectiles can tear through their armor without difficulty, and then tear the cotton robe under their iron armor, until it penetrates their flesh.
Batches of war horses neighed and jumped and fell to the ground, one by one officers and soldiers screamed and fell under the horses, even the soldiers who had not been shot for the time being were already in a rout, where was the interest in continuing to rush forward, they could only pull the reins of the horses in panic, trying to turn around and escape from the trap set for them, but in such a chaotic situation, how difficult it was to complete this action, the war horses and the war horses were crowded together, and they couldn't turn around smoothly at all, In order to turn their horses and flee, some officers and men did not hesitate to wave the three-eyed guns in their hands to sweep off their horses and dismount their own people who were blocking their way, thus making room for them to escape, thus further aggravating the chaotic situation.
Some of the officers and soldiers scolded, some cried bitterly, and some fell from their horses screaming, but the firearms of the three sides of the Punishment Heaven did not show any mercy at all, still loaded the ammunition as fast as they could, and then stepped forward to cast it on these officers and soldiers.
At this time, it was no longer a battle, and the place between the three phalanxes had been turned into a slaughterhouse, and the panicked officers and soldiers could only scream helplessly, waiting for their final doom.
A team leader with red eyes, pulling the reins of his horse to look around, while scolding the soldiers under his command, while thinking of countermeasures, looking at the rows of gunpowder smoke rising from three sides, and his own soldiers who kept falling under the horses, he also let go when he arrived, and roared wildly: "Brothers! Kill Lao Tzu! Killing one is enough, killing two earns one! It's better than waiting here to die! Kill! ”
After calling out, he ignored the madness and stepped into the horse's belly with the spurs on his boots, and the painful war horse let out a burst of neighing, and immediately spread its four hooves and galloped again, rushing straight towards the middle army formation of the Xingtian Army on the opposite side.
Some officers and soldiers saw this general action, and they also knew that there was no reason to be spared today, and Zhenge was just like the general who called it, rather than waiting for death here, it was better to fight, so one by one they all roared wildly, and began to desperately stab their spurs into the belly of their respective war horses, roaring wildly and waving the three-eyed guns in their hands, and began to follow the general, and rushed towards the middle army formation of the Xingtian Army like crazy.
The gunners in front of the Chinese army immediately began to clear and reload the ammunition after a round, and just now a row of guns passed, at least dozens of officers and soldiers fell on the battlefield, blocking the pace of the officers and soldiers rushing into the formation.
However, after all, the artillery reloading could not catch up with the bird guns, even if the whole ammunition was used, it could not be quickly loaded, and suddenly dozens of officers and soldiers braved the fire of the platoon of guns, broke out of the chaos, and ran straight towards them, and the officer of the artillery team immediately shouted: "Hurry up and reload!" Beat them to slag for Lao Tzu! ”
And the distance of a hundred paces, under the gallop of the war horse, is nothing at all, these outlaw officers and cavalry flew through this distance, on the way someone was constantly knocked over by the birds, but the rest of the soldiers still roared and killed the Chinese army of the Xingtian Army.
"Fire!" The officer of the artillery team did not care about the salvo at this moment, and when he saw that several of the guns had been reassembled, he immediately shouted.
The few guns that had just been reloaded did not even have time to take a closer look before they were sounded one by one, and if they could not stop this desperate group of officers and soldiers, they would never have a chance to reload.
Another rain of bullets flew out, rushing to the front of the one who buried his head in the back of the neck of the war horse, only to see that the front chest of his war horse suddenly rose a blood mist, the war horse neighed sadly, and hit the ground with a head, the head of the gun was thrown out, and fell heavily on the ground, among the dozens of outlaw soldiers behind him, there were also people and horses who were shot one after another, and they fell to the ground one by one, but there were still more than a dozen officers and soldiers whose war horses were not overturned, although they were injured, But it was still struggling to run forward, hissing miserably.
And the general who was thrown to the ground did not immediately lose the ability to move, struggled to staggered up, reached out on the ground and picked up his horse lance, after spitting out a mouthful of blood, staring at blood-red eyes, he actually continued to pull his legs and staggered towards the Xingtian Army array.
A dozen horsemen behind him also rushed past him like crazy, and crashed headlong into the artillery positions that were still shrouded in gunsmoke.
Looking at these dozen or so Guan Ning iron horsemen who were not afraid of death, Xiao Tianjian couldn't help but sigh, for such a warrior, even he had to pay tribute to him, and instructed the iron head beside him: "After the war is over, take care of these officers and soldiers, they can also be called warriors!" It's a pity! ……”
These dozen Guan Ning soldiers finally rode their horses into the artillery array of the Xingtian Army, although the artillerymen were also equipped with waist knives, they were also not afraid of life and death, seeing these officers and soldiers break into front of them, they pulled out their waist knives one by one and pounced, trying to block these dozen officers and soldiers, but how could they be the opponents of these already crazy officers and soldiers! As soon as they passed, more than a dozen gunners were knocked out by the horses, and the officers and soldiers on horseback frantically waved the three-eyed guns in their hands, and smashed them into these unarmored gunners as hammers, only to hear the sound of broken bones and screams, and these gunners were immediately killed.
"Spearman!" The officer lined up behind one of the artillery emplacements raised his spear in his hand and roared.
The pikemen in a platoon of soldiers immediately shouted and killed! He rushed out with his legs, and with a spear in his hand, he stabbed the dozen officers and soldiers who broke into the formation.
I only heard another roar and screams, and these officers and soldiers who desperately broke into the battle were stabbed under their horses one after another, but there were still two officers and soldiers who were very fierce, still encircling their horses, and kept waving the three-eyed guns in their hands to sweep away the spears that stabbed at them, doing the last battle of the trapped beasts.
And the general who fell off the horse, at this time also staggered to the front of the formation, the horse lance in his hand flew up and down, knocked over a few gunners, rushed to the side of these two men, while spitting blood, while constantly dancing the horse lance, the spear stabbed at him swept away, the horse lance in his hand was like a strange snake constantly spitting out the core, every time he was assassinated, there was a soldier of the Xingtian Army was stabbed to the ground, every time he waved, he almost overturned a pawn of the Xingtian Army, it was really brave and abnormal, quite a posture of ten thousand enemies.
But as more and more Xingtian troops poured up, the last three officers and soldiers were finally overwhelmed by the crowd, in a shouting of killing, several big guns stabbed into their bodies almost at the same time, the general figure finally paused, a mouthful of blood gushed out of his mouth, he tried his last bit of strength, threw the horse lance in his hand, a Xingtian army pawn couldn't dodge, and was pierced, he turned his head slightly to look at the back, and shouted unwillingly: "Lord Zu!" I did my best! ......" Before he could finish speaking, his head hung heavily.
