Chapter 336: Breaking the City and Breaking the City with Blood, Not Stained (6)
The musketeers, who were the first to complete the reloading, heard a drum beat after reloading, and they quickly understood the meaning of the snare drum.
This is an order: reload and shoot at will, then abandon the gun and draw a short sword or axe, and follow the sides of the spear array.
It was an order to attack, and different drums had different meanings.
For example, sometimes the sound of the drum means to continue reloading, to shoot on both sides of the spearman and then reload on the spot, alternately moving forward.
For example, sometimes the sound of the drum means to retreat to the flanks of the fault, hide under the spear, and attack those who might rush into the spear array with a short sword.
For example, sometimes the sound of drums means retreating into the middle of the two spearmen phalanx, continuing to reload and shoot at orders.
It's all different, it needs to be decided by the general, and as a sergeant, you only need to listen to orders.
But unlike the rest of the princes' soldiers, they knew more or less why they were doing it, because they were told about it in addition to learning how to write...... Sometimes, I also talk about techniques for cultivating fields.
Many musketeers looked at the Yue people on the other side of the gunsmoke, and said in their hearts: "This must be because Meng Sheng found that the Yue people had broken up and were ready to rush into the enemy line to fight hand-to-hand." At this time, carrying a musket is useless, so you have to fight with courage. ”
So, as ordered, he hooked the fire rope, and after firing the last shot, threw the heavy musket in place, quickly retreated, and drew short swords on either side of the spear array for cover.
Just as these musketeers thought, Meng Sheng did find that the Yue people had broken down.
Those who charged at the front were brave men, but no matter how brave they were, they could not withstand the shot of a heavy lead bullet weighing one or two.
Meng Sheng was very sure of this, because he had seen someone kill a wild boar with this musket, and even a wild boar with rough skin and thick flesh could be killed, what about people? Will the bravest man be stronger than a wild boar?
These brave Yue people began to scatter and flee, trying to avoid the front, but once they fled, those who had easily mustered up their courage behind would also flee.
Meng Sheng knew that as a general, he must be good at seizing the opportunity to charge, counterattack, defend or flank support, and those who can seize it are qualified generals.
This time, he carried the task of the first field battle since the righteous division formed an army, and it was a battle that must be won, so there was no need to seek stability at all, what he wanted was to completely defeat the Yue people, let them scatter and flee, and swim to escape to prepare for the capture of the cavalry in ambush on both sides of the riverbank.
So he ordered the drums to beat to convey the meaning that the musketeers would shoot at will, no longer reload, and follow the spearmen on both wings.
The drummers and flutes in the spear array immediately played and beat a very fast-paced military music, accompanied by the beat of the drums, and the ink leader shouted loudly.
The soldiers in the spear formation raised their spears and stepped forward, keeping them as level as possible.
They are all partners around them, and most of the wings are elite ink artists or the foot soldiers of the righteous teachers of the year, and the front row is the brave people in the army.
It doesn't take everyone to be afraid of death, it just needs them to be sure that their partner is by their side, and it is enough to burst out with fearless power.
Not everyone can see the overall situation of the battlefield, all the soldiers can see is the situation within a few dozen steps in front of them, as long as the people around them do not disperse, as long as no one spreads the news of the rout of the army, they can continue to the end of the world.
They could also see at the front of the line, where Meng Shengqu and the others were holding short swords or halberds, moving to the sides, covering on the flanks with the musketeers, who were walking in front of them.
This is actually forbidden, because he is afraid that the Lord will be shot, but Meng Sheng found that there were few archers on the other side, and his own ability was not something that a small Yue nobleman could deal with, which of those peasant soldiers was his opponent?
It is the gentleman's army of the Yue people, and Meng Sheng consciously can fight five enemies with one, what about these ordinary soldiers?
At this time, taking the lead is to let the whole brigade burst out with the greatest strength and defeat the Yue people at one time.
The Yue people charged too early, and the ranks were already scattered, and it was impossible to fight against the spearmen.
The brave men who charged the fastest had already broken up, and the musketeers had sparsely beaten the Yue people in the front row, and each Yue man had to face six or seven spears under a single impact.
As for the Yue people in the back...... They are not at all on the front line of engagement.
Meng Sheng held the halberd, followed the drum beat and flute, and finally waved the halberd and shouted when he was more than ten steps away from the nearest Yue Ren: "Impact! ”
The drummer and flute player next to him immediately conveyed the order, the distance of more than ten steps is the best distance for impact, which can not only maintain physical combat, but also the human sprint is generally about thirty meters to increase the speed to the maximum.
Although they didn't need to run that fast, just a quick impact was enough to break through all the forces that stood in their way.
Several brave people of the Yue people who had not escaped looked at the spear of Rulin, panicked, and subconsciously rolled to the ground after the spear approached, trying to avoid the spear, but before they could get up, they were trampled under the feet of the spearmen who began to attack, and they couldn't stand up at all.
The few Yue wanted to rush in from both flanks, but the horizontal plane between the three spearmen phalanx was already extremely wide, and it was difficult to run to the sides after engaging unless they were originally on both sides.
As soon as the few people on the side approached, Meng Sheng held a halberd and raised his sword, and immediately killed these people.
Meng Sheng said in his heart, if it is really a full-strength field battle, there are still cavalry protection on both wings, and there are also some rangers who are good at fighting and fighting, there is no problem, now it only depends on whether these spearmen can defeat the Yue people in one fell swoop.
The remaining Yue people have already engaged in the center of the spearmen, and the Yue people who are scattered in formation do not dare to rush hard in the front, and continue to subconsciously spread out to the sides, but the two wings of the spearmen phalanx in the zigzag configuration are still spearmen.
Originally, the army's spirit was scattered, and the spearmen rushed like this, and these Yue people, who were not elites, suddenly couldn't hold on.
Rulin's spear could not be broken in the front, and even the chariot did not dare to directly impact the spear foot soldiers in the formation, let alone these people.
There is no bow and crossbow, and there is no gap in the phalanx.
Not to mention that there is no artillery, and the phalanx cannot be directly blasted open.
It was only a short battle, and more than 100 Vietnamese soldiers were stabbed to death by spears, and the spearmen only showed a slight concave surface in the formation, which was quickly leveled, and there were few casualties, and they continued to rush forward.
The Yue people, who were already frightened birds, only relied on the last of their bravery, but the Yue people and nobles understood that they had miscalculated, and they couldn't rush through it at all.
I thought that there were not many people on the other side, maybe it wasn't elite, but I thought that these people were advancing with spears, and they were like Huiji Mountain pressing the face, how could they stop it?
Seeing that his side had been defeated, he didn't care about decency, threw away the short sword in his hand, and ran towards the river.
As soon as he ran, the Yue people around him saw the master fleeing, and they all threw down their weapons, and the private soldiers around him learned to take off their leather armor, threw away their weapons, and ran towards the river on both sides.
The more people are good at water, they have established a country from a place full of swamps and lakes, almost everyone can swim, and seeing that they can't rush into battle, if they don't flee at this time, they will really die under those sharp spears.
Their escape caused a chain reaction, and the Yue people, who had been easily assembled into a formation, also fled one after another, never wanting to fight again.
Almost as soon as the battle began, the frightened Yue people had already dispersed.
This is not a place of death, because the Yue people can swim, so they do not have the heart to die.
Meng Sheng pulled the halberd out of a Yue Ren armor soldier, and when he found that the Yue people were retreating, he immediately ordered: "Run and pursue!" ”
This is an order that is rarely given, and such an order is given to mean the abandonment of the formation, which is almost impossible in a big war.
But now, the Yue people have completely lost the ability to resist, and at this time they have to rush so that they cannot retreat and regroup.
The sound of the drums suddenly changed, and the spearmen and the musketeers with short swords on either side immediately roared in groups of four or five, and rushed towards the Yue people after forming a group according to their usual eating partners.
More than 80 of the 1,400 Yue were killed by muskets, and nearly 200 were killed or wounded in the first battle, but the morale was extremely low before, and they dispersed as soon as they rushed.
Groups of five or ten fellow volunteers rushed forward desperately, stabbing short swords or spears into the back of the fleeing Yue people.
Groups of Yue people fled to the river, took off their clothes and armor and jumped into the river, swimming towards the shore as fast as a fish.
Every time he waved his arms, he would take two or three steps out, and the righteous master also knew how to water, but he did not pursue, but only chased and killed those Yue people at the pass between the two rivers.
Some of the Yue people fled to the river and bypassed the righteous division and fled backwards, but the musketeers, who had long been ambushed in the reeds, rushed out with short swords in their hands and captured them instantly.
The Yue noble owl peeked out of the river and had already reached the opposite bank, and there were a few people around him, all of whom were his own private soldiers.
I looked at it with palpitations, the heart of the Mo family was invincible, and I went back and told the truth, but I was afraid that the king might not believe it. If this army is ten thousand people, the gentleman's army may not be able to defeat it......
However, fortunately, it seems that these ink soldiers do not know how to swim, so it may be guessed that they can't swim either, so they do not swim after them.
Just as he was rejoicing, he saw several people suddenly burst out of the bushes in the distance, riding horses, holding spears in their hands, and stepping on the iron tools that the Mo family called stirrups. The owl had seen the Ink Scholar walk around on such a horse in Tengdi, so he knew what it was.
He secretly exclaimed, he didn't want to have ambushes on the other side of the river, his clothes and armor had faded, and he had no weapons in his hands, so he could only flee.
But how can a man outrun a fast horse in a short time?
The eagle only saw a man on a horse, with a spear under his arm, and his arm lightly propped up, and stabbed into the back of a fleeing Yue man in front of him like a gallop.
The spear came out through his chest, and immediately the man let go of the spear early, and did not want it at all, and then drew the short sword from the saddle, and rushed towards the fleeing Yue people.
Owls grew up in Yuedi, where have you ever seen someone who can ride a horse? I don't know how many people there were, but I only heard the neighing of the horses and the screams of the fleeing people.
In the midst of panic, I heard someone shouting in Yue, saying that he was squatting on the spot to avoid death!
In the rush, this shout became more and more attractive, even if there was still a scream, it could not cover the sound.
The owl sighed, knowing that he was not fortunate today, where did he think that he was sitting on Tengdi, and the city would be broken and completely destroyed within a few days?
…………
Two hours later, the battlefield had been cleaned up, and after counting the number of ink masters who accompanied the army, the results of the battle were counted.
More than 1,400 Yue people were killed and wounded, and more than 500 were wounded, most of whom were killed in the rout.
The rest were captured by about 800, and the Yue generals were also captured alive, and there were almost no fleeing Yue people, only a few dozen people may have hid in the reeds and did not know where they had fled.
On Meng Sheng's side, no one was killed, only two were injured by the explosion of the musket, and more than ten people were injured in the battle.
Meng Sheng sighed secretly, this can be described as another earth-shattering battle, no one on his side died, breaking 1,400 Yue people, and now the soldiers are cheering, there is an unshakable momentum.
This can not only boost the confidence of the soldiers, but also deter some people in Tengdi, so that they dare not move lightly, so as to deter.
He called a cavalryman, wrote down the results of the battle on a piece of paper, and urgently ordered: "Go to Tengdi immediately and tell Shi that the righteous master has won a great victory, and no one will die!" ”
The rider raised his head, his eyebrows and eyes were full of excitement, took the order, clamped his legs between the belly of the horse, and galloped towards Tengdi.
