Chapter 1205: Breaking the Army



"Are you going to start?"

Soon, the soldiers put on their armor, rushed to the front of the formation, and began to line up. txt download/

Team after team, like countless streams coming from the back towards the front, converging into a sea of metal.

The horses' trumpets and snare drums sounded fiercely, the horses neighed, and the whole night boiled. But no one spoke, thunderous, but silent.

The soldiers in the line carried their weapons and pulled down the iron masks from their helmets to cover their faces. The phalanx looked like a piece of iron that had solidified soon, and the murderous aura was pervasive, like substance, which made people tremble in their hearts.

This stark contrast of movement and stillness made Ruan Dacheng and Shi Kefa's cold hairs stand on end, and they involuntarily followed the power of this wood floating down in the water, and walked forward and walked to the open space.

It was still very dark, and it was still very dark in the south, and there was not a single star in sight, unlike in the north, where it was already bright.

No, you can still see a star twinkling slightly overhead, brighter and brighter, brighter and brighter, and finally so bright that people dare not look at it.

Ruan Dacheng has learned a lot, and in the eyes of readers in this era, he is very unprofessional. He couldn't help but shout: "Broken Army, that's Broken Army Star." ”

Yu Liang walked up to him and said, "That's right, the Seventh Star of the Big Dipper Breaks the Army." ”

Ruan Dacheng: "It's bad luck to consume the stars in the sky!" ”

Yu Liang: "All things circulate, one consumption and one supplement, if it is not broken or established, our army will win this battle." ”

Ruan Dacheng's heart calmed down a little, and he looked around again, suddenly found something different, and couldn't help asking: "General Yu Liang, the old man heard that the strength of the Ningxiang Army lies in the spear formation, and it is invincible on the battlefield. In such an important battle today, why can't you see a spear? ”

Yes, the soldiers around him were all wearing shiny plate armor, but the weapons in their hands were mainly short weapons and blunt weapons

。 Most of them are Yanling knives, small round shields, hammers, maces, flails, and big axes, if it weren't for the fact that there were many musketeers in the army, and they wore armor that was unique to the entire Ming Dynasty, they would really be regarded as slaves.

As soon as he asked this, even Shi Kefa, who had been standing aside with a cold face, showed a puzzled look.

Yu Liang smiled: "Da Sima, the soldier is like water, and he is guided by the situation, there is no formation in the world that can conquer the world, and fighting a war is not a romance." The spear musket phalanx invented by Hou Ye is powerful, but it can be severely restricted by the terrain, and can only be used in the open wilderness. If you encounter a mountainous area, you can't use it. This time, our army is attacking the fortified positions, and there is no possibility of calmly arranging and advancing forward. Moreover, when you break into the enemy camp, you don't know what kind of narrowness it looks into, and if you use a spear, how to move it, it is really not as good as short weapons and blunt weapons. ”

After that, he comforted Ruan Dacheng again: "Don't worry, Da Sima, there won't be any big waves in this battle." If the Ningxiang army puts down its spear, it doesn't know how to fight, and it doesn't deserve to be the first army in the world. ”

As he spoke, the sound of horses' hooves and cars was heard behind him.

But I saw a group of convoys coming out of the gap between the phalanx. It was the artillery team of the Ningxiang Army, and there was a Western devil sitting on the war horse at the head. Behind it was a horse pulling a cannon, and the cart was full of powder kegs and shells. txt download/

After rushing to the front, he stopped his horse and shouted: "This is it, the artillery is ready." ”

Soon, the artillerymen quickly untied the cannon with their hands and feet, lined up in the open space, and the barrels of the black holes pointed ahead. Gunpowder cartridges and shell boxes were also carried down by them and piled up on the gun emplacements into small hills.

There are too many cannons to count.

Yu Liang whispered to Ruan Dacheng: "Da Sima, according to our army's plan, from the beginning of the hour, the artillery will carry out a round of artillery bombardment to finish out a base number of ammunition. Wait until the end of the shelling before the infantry advances. ”

Ruan Dacheng asked: "What is a base ammunition?" ”

Yu Liang was going to explain it in detail, but after thinking about it, he felt that Lord Ruan couldn't understand it, so he said casually: "In short, it is the amount of ammunition that the troops can carry at one time. Like a musketeer......" he continued, pointing to the cowhide bag on the waist of an infantryman beside him, "This bag can hold two hundred rolls of paper with gunpowder and lead bullet at a time, which is a cardinal number

。 ”

"Oh, I see." Ruan Dacheng bowed slightly.

This is the first time he has been on the front line in person, no matter what, he is still a little nervous in his heart, and his voice is trembling slightly, so he simply closes his mouth in order to avoid being heard out of his dignity. looked at Shi Kefa beside him from the corner of his eye, this Shi Shoufu still had a calm face, this person's qi cultivation work is quite admirable. Hmph, old horseman!

I don't know why, Ruan Dacheng looked at him more and more unpleasantly.

The sound of horses' hooves in a storm came, and Ruan Dacheng couldn't help but look up, and saw Sun Yuan sweeping past the front of the team with a team of cavalrymen who were also dressed in iron armor that was as shiny as a mirror.

He didn't speak, just turned his head sideways and looked at the soldier in front of him, running as fast as he could, pointing the whip in his hand as he ran.

Although they couldn't see clearly, everyone felt that their commander's gaze fell on them, and the whip was pointed at their chest, as if asking, "How is it, are you ready?" ”

The blood boiled suddenly, and suddenly, someone pulled up the iron mask, showed an excited face, waved the weapon in his hand violently, and roared: "I am willing to die for the Hou Ye, and I am willing to enter the old camp of Jiannu for the Hou Ye." Master Hou, you give the order, even if I die, I will die on the way forward. Even if I want to die, the wound is on my chest, otherwise I am not worthy of being a man of my Ningxiang Army! ”

Sun Yuan pulled the horse and slowed down. His eyes stopped on the soldier for a second, and then he shouted: "I know you, you joined my Ningxiang Army during the Battle of Jinan, your surname is Shi, and your name is Shi Dangdang." Yes, Taishan stone dares to be, a good man. ”

"Master Hou!" The person named Shi Dangdang was just an ordinary soldier, an inconspicuous member of the Ningxiang army, but he didn't expect that Hou Ye had only seen him once before but had already remembered it, and suddenly shouted: "Hou Ye!" ”

Another soldier pulled off the iron mask: "I am willing to die for the Hou Ye!" ”

"I know you, you are nicknamed the devil, to the enemy, you are a ghost, but to me you are a warrior, but you are a good man!"

"I am willing to die for the Hou Ye!"

"I know you, your name is Xiao Jinxiao, a native of Fengyang, and the Chuzhou War is with you, old brother. How is the old wound on your arm, and can you still fight? ”

Xiao Jinxiao's tears were sprinkled on the ground like spring water, and he shouted in a long voice: "It's complete, enough to cut off the heads of a hundred Jiannu, and I am willing to die for the Hou Ye."

! ”

"No, I don't want you to die, but I want to drink the wine of victory with you." Sun Yuan shouted: "It should be the enemy who dies, since the establishment of my Ningxiang Army, I have promised you to save your lives, let you live in this troubled world, and win victory after victory." This, and the same today, should be the enemy, and we just need to enjoy the glory of the victors. Believe me! ”

"In the Chuzhou War that year, the weak defeated the strong, and broke 100,000 with 5,000, which was our Ningxiang army; In the battle of Jinan, it was our Ningxiang Army that saved the people of the city and destroyed the left wing army of Jiannu; Yongcheng fought Liu Chao, Ma Muji defeated Liu Zongmin, and it was our Ningxiang army that defeated Xiao Yuan's camp. Why, why? ”

"Because you are all good men of my Han family, because we want to protect our homeland, our parents, wives, children, and our most precious things."

"The main force of the Eight Banners of Jiannu is in front, surrounded by me, and the trouble of Jiannu that has plagued me for more than 30 years in the Ming Dynasty can be lifted today. Our Han family will not be king, our name will not be extinguished, and our merits will never be erased! ”

"Fight, my soldiers!"

After speaking, his horse sped up again, and every time the whip in his hand was tapped at the army, it burst into a tidal wave of cheers: "Hurray, hooray, hooray!" ”

All the soldiers lifted their masks and shouted loudly, and many were in tears, with a frenzied light flashing in front of their eyes.

This astonishing momentum shocked Ruan Dacheng and Shi Kefa dizzy, and in a trance, the thousands of soldiers in front of them had turned into a high mountain. They had no doubt that as long as Sun Yuan gave an order, no matter who dared to stand in front of them, they would be instantly crushed into powder.

Qi Jiguang's army is nothing more than that, right? No, if you really want to compare, in history, maybe only the Yue family army can compare with it.

However, after Ruan Dacheng was strongly shocked, he chuckled in his heart: "Long live...... Banzai...... Even hooray was shouted. Zhao Da was probably like this in Chenqiaoyi back then! ”

"In this case, even if you don't have a yellow robe, you can't do it, the soldiers don't agree, and Providence doesn't agree."

Ruan Dacheng and Shi Kefa glanced at each other at the same time, and each saw surprise in each other's eyes, and then quickly moved away

A ceremonial flower blooms in the air, followed by another flower in the distance, and then a third flower.

It's like a relay, and there are fireworks everywhere for dozens of miles.

"It's time!" Yu Liang wiped the tears on his face and shouted. He was more excited than anyone else. If it weren't for Master Hou, he would be just an ordinary prisoner of the border army now, and he might have died in the troubled times. Hou Ye is so gracious that he can only kill himself to repay it. However, Hou Ye just said, don't want everyone to die, live well, and win.

Hearing his shout, Ruan Dacheng's heart sank.

However, the Ningxiang army still did not move, but the troops that had fallen into a frenzy instantly calmed down, and all the soldiers put on iron masks again.

"Why don't you attack?" Shi Kefa was puzzled and couldn't help asking.

At this moment, a violent earthquake came from under his feet, which almost caused him to fall to the ground.

The sound was too loud, and I saw a huge fire burst out under the earthen fence of the old camp of Jiannu in front of me, as if it was a poisonous fire spewing out from the ground, containing terrifying power. In just one moment, the enemy's earthen fences, watchtowers, lookouts, and fences were torn to pieces in this piece of firelight, like children's toys.

The sky was filled with sharp sounds of earth and rocks breaking through the air, making people's scalps tingle. There was a buzzing in my ears, and I couldn't hear anything for a while.

Yu Liang waved his hand, and the soldiers from the Military Coordination Office rushed over, all holding their shields on the heads of Shi Kefa and Ruan Dacheng.

"This is ......" Ruan Dacheng felt strange in his heart and roared loudly. Before he could finish his question, the mud and sand kicked up by the powerful explosion had already hit the shield strongly. The light rang out, and at this time, Ruan Dacheng miraculously regained his hearing.

He looked intently, and Yu Liang was standing in front of him, letting the sand and stones hit him, but he was motionless, majestic as if he were a god.

As for the rest of the Ningxiang Army, it was the same, and they didn't even mean to hide.

Such a force can no longer be described as shocking, but fearful, yes, Ruan Dacheng is really afraid. That's probably the case with Shi Kefa, right?

Yu Liang turned around for a long time and explained: "Shoufu, Da Sima, the enemy's old camp has already built complete fortifications, and if it is attacked, our army will definitely pay a lot of sacrifices

。 As long as this long fence is blown away and a few gaps are made in it, the troops can successfully rush in. However, the enemy's defense was really strong, and it would be too laborious to bombard it with artillery, so Hou Ye ordered people to dig six tunnels under the earth fence in advance, and buried a thousand catties of gunpowder underneath it, which were detonated when launching a general attack. ”

As the words fell, the smoke of the enemy camp in front of him began to slowly disperse.

The scene in front of me can only be described as thrilling, but I saw that a huge gap about three zhang wide appeared on the long earthen fence, and everything in the gap was completely blown into powder and burned black by the high temperature.

The way forward has been opened.

But what is even more surprising is that I originally thought that there was such a big gap, and Jiannu should rush up in a mess, whether it was with sandbags, wood, or crowds, and also plug it up. But there was silence ahead, and there was not a single figure in sight, except for the broken watchtowers and fences behind them, which lit up the gap in a miserable white.

This situation makes one suspect that it was only an empty camp, and that the enemy inside had already starved to death.

Ruan Dacheng took a long breath before he let out a long breath: "Can you attack?" ”

"I'm afraid it won't work." Yu Liang smiled and shook his head.

"How?" Ruan Dacheng looked at him suspiciously.

Yu Liang: "According to the infantry tactics, you should first use cannons to plow the ground to sweep away all obstacles. There is a saying in our infantry drill code that goes like this: artillery bombardment, infantry rush, infantry rush after artillery bombardment. ”

Ruan Dacheng was speechless for a while: "This is too ...... It's too stubborn, isn't it? ”

The artillery commander, the Western devil, shouted: "Artillery attention, the target is in front, three rapid fires...... Ahem, no matter, feel free to fight, shoot the shells with a base number at hand, and then go back to the camp to sleep. ”

Countless cannons began to roar, and the sky was filled with dark red trails dragged by scorching cannonballs.

A large amount of fire instantly rose in the enemy camp, and dust began to fly.

The enemy still didn't move, Ruan Dacheng knew that this battle had ended before the hand-to-hand encounter, and the Ningxiang army had won, it was really a simple battle!
