Chapter 811: Crazy Counterattack (Seventy-One)
In the middle of the night, Raba's 20,000 men began to march north of Anju. They were to take advantage of the darkness of the night to go north and go around to the west side of the land of the Genting Mountain.
They deliberately faced north from the east of Anzhou City to avoid the detection of the Han army's spies.
The spies sent by Gao Tang really didn't find out about this army, so they successfully went around where they wanted to go.
However, the army of the White Sun and the Black Star, Gao Tang's spies have found out. And it was reported to him.
After Gao Tang heard the report from the spies, he smiled slightly, and at this time, Chen Cheng was also there, so he looked at Chen Cheng.
Chen Cheng said: "Just let them come!" This is also the time to test our fortifications. ”
Gao Tang said: "Yes, then Brother Chen should hurry up!" ”
Chen Chenggong arched his hand and said, "Okay, I'll go." ”
Gao Tang said again: "Wait a minute. ”
Chen Cheng stopped.
Gao Tang said: "Brother Chen, what do you think this Tartar slave means by sending two armies? ”
Chen Cheng frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "I don't know about this!" But as long as we hold on, let a few of his armies come! ”
"Okay, let's respond to all changes with inconvenience!" Gao Tang said.
Chen Cheng said: "General Gao, I'll go if I don't have anything else." ”
"Well, Brother Chen, let's go quickly!" Gao Tang nodded and said.
Chen Chenggong went out, mounted his war horse, and led eight soldiers straight to the land of Pingdu in the north, where the Tatar army had not yet arrived. Chen Cheng hurriedly ordered the troops to enter a state of confrontation.
When the sun rose into the top of the eastern mountain, the first batch of Tatar slave troops came to the land of Pingdu, and it turned out to be a water cavalry, 50,000 people, which was not small.
Chen Cheng wore golden armor and stood on a specially built lookout to watch. Seeing the cavalry brushing the Tatars, I was also a little shocked in my heart.
He calmed down a little, and immediately ordered the artillery to be ready. As soon as the cavalry of the Tatar army attacked, they opened fire. And in the hole in the wall of the defensive wall, the musketeers were also ready to attack.
The general of the Tartars stood at the forefront of the army on horseback during the day, watching the deployment of Chen Cheng's side.
A soldier next to him said, "General, the walls are full of artillery." Very powerful stuff. ”
Bai Ri nodded, but said, "Why can't we make such a powerful artillery?" ”
A soldier on the other side said: "General, I have also made it before, and I have made it, but it is only bulky, and it is not far, and sometimes the shells explode on their own, injuring some of their own soldiers." After that, even if the military department was equipped, the soldiers did not dare to use it anymore. ”
Bai Ri said: "I know this, so I feel emotional!" If only we had such artillery as the Han army. Then it would be much more convenient to attack this flat land again. No, use the blood of soldiers to open the way. ”
Another soldier said: "General, give the order, we are all warriors who are not afraid of death." ”
Bai Ri nodded, in fact, he also knew that when he got here, there was no other way than a hard attack. So, I only heard him shout. The first team prepares, takes the strong crossbow in hand, and shoots at the same time.
"It's all set." The captain who led the team shouted. Then he looked at the daylight.
I saw that Bai Ri waved his hand and shouted: "Give me a charge." The ranks scattered, dodging a few Han shells. Rush to the protective wall, jump on horseback, and slash the man who fires the artillery. ”
"It's the general." The cavalry shouted in unison.
"Okay, rush ...... me," Bai Sun shouted again.
Immediately afterward, a cavalry of 5,000 men rushed out like an arrow. The sound of the horse's hooves was like the rumbling thunder.
Bai Ri then gave the order for the second group of cavalry to rush forward after him. Then the third batch, then the fourth.
In a few moments, the sound of horses' hooves was drowned out by the dense sound of artillery.
During the day, he saw his cavalry fall to the ground. He sat on the horse with a heartache. But there is no way, fighting a war is to die.
Let's go! Anyway, he didn't have to charge into battle on his own.
Because the firing range of the cannons has a certain distance, Chen Cheng asked these cannons to adjust the muzzles differently, so that they can form a three-dimensional attack range, that is, the Tatar cavalry who can't help but be far away can hit it, even if they rush over, the Tatar cavalry near can also hit it.
However, the speed of this Tarnu cavalry was fast, and there was always someone who could rush over.
Fortunately, there were also musketeers, who shot at the rushing Tatar cavalry through holes in the wall.
Bai Ri saw that most of the cavalry he sent out fell to the ground, but at this time, he must not withdraw his troops. Be sure to strike while the iron is hot and continue to attack.
During the day, he continued to send cavalry to charge.
Not to mention, the tactics of using a sea of people really worked, after nearly 10,000 casualties, a cavalry rushed to the stone wall, stepped on the war horse and went up to the defensive stone wall, and then the hand-to-hand combat.
There were casualties in a fight.
Chen Cheng was also shocked by the bravery of the Tarnu army at this time.
When Bai Ri saw that his own soldiers had attacked the stone wall, he was excited, and immediately continued to order, this time sending 10,000 men to attack in a frightened way. Although there are still shell attacks, after all, there are less. 10,000 people rushed over 7,000.
Chen Cheng saw that it was not good, and immediately asked the infantry behind him to step forward to meet the enemy.
In such a hand-to-hand encounter, the Han army did not show weakness. Don't look at these Tatar cavalry on horseback, once they are on the ground, they are not so powerful in melee combat, and the martial arts training of the infantry of the Han army is very powerful. The Tatars did not have an advantage. After fighting for half an hour, although the Han army suffered a lot of casualties, the casualties of the Tatar army were even worse.
As far as there are 50,000 people, Chen Cheng is not afraid, you must know that 100,000 people have been deployed in this Pingdu land. The 50,000 men who resisted the Tasnu army were more than enough.
But Chen Cheng didn't dare to take it lightly, after all, there were too many casualties, and it was not good for him. So he personally led the infantry into battle. For a time, the attacking Tatar army was desperately resisted at the stone wall, so that the Tatar army could not go further. Moreover, the artillerymen were protected by several infantry, and the firing of shells did not delay at all.
For a time, tens of thousands of Tatar troops and tens of thousands of Han troops mingled.
But don't forget, Chen Cheng's army also has a musket army. While the infantry of the Han army and the Tatar army were strangling, the musketeers put cold guns on the side.
In this way, the attacking Tatar army was a little unable to resist. The casualties spread rapidly.
Seeing this, Chen Cheng smiled slightly.
Bai Ri saw this unfavorable scene, but now he only had 20,000 people left in his hands, and he didn't dare to go up again. At this time, he remembered the black gold, and I don't know why he didn't come yet!
