Chapter 1072: A Tragic Death
Bai Yintu's war horse was also frightened, raised its front hooves high, and directly kicked one of the guards away. Read the full text of the latest chapter, and visit the latest chapter: .
He was a 'fine' horseman, and he finally pulled the horse. But when a person's 'wave' came, the Chinese army immediately became a 'chaotic' mess, and the handsome banner was also squeezed and crooked, swaying and 'wanting'.
Bai Yintu was shocked, and a bad premonition rose from his heart: Gao Jie actually had artillery, and there were so many, listening to the sound of this cannon, there were at least fifty 'cannons', and they were all heavy artillery like red-coated cannons. Impossible, impossible...... Kong has only a few 'gates' of red-coated artillery in the German army, and does it have twenty 'gates'...... If Gao Jie really had so many cannons, why didn't he use them before. Otherwise, even if I wanted to get closer, it would be impossible for me to get closer......
Moreover, these are all powerful and valuable 'flower' bombs, which are directly throwing gold and silver on our heads! When did the Qin army fight such an extravagant battle?
Although my heart was uncertain, it was like a fire. But as the commander of the first army and a veteran of the battlefield, he still knows that the most important thing at this moment is to calm people's hearts and boost morale.
As a commander, he must be strong, and immediately shouted with all his strength: "Don't be afraid, it's just a distance of three hundred steps, lean on, leaning on it, the cannon can't hit us!" ”
"Master, master, it's not the Qin army, it's the cannon of the water army, the water division of the Ningxiang army!" In the distance, Li Mingyuan shouted loudly.
Hearing this scream, Bai Yintu turned his head to look east, and saw a strange scene that he had never seen in his life.
I couldn't help but murmur: "What a big ship, so many boats!" ”
The white sails are like clouds, the trees are like forests, and the three-legged black flags on the cables are flying in black 'color'
。
At this time, the dense battleships suddenly moved sideways one step sharply, and all of them 'shot' out of the dense flames.
This is another round of salvo 'shooting', and the air is full of sharp whistling, causing a layer of 'chicken' skin to burst on people's bodies.
"It's spectacular!" That was Bai Yintu's last thought, and then he saw countless fires explode around him.
……
This is a scene that Li Mingyuan saw with his own eyes, at that time, he was visiting Yin Tuzhong's military errand.
That is to say, this Jiannu chief died under the bombardment of heavy artillery in the first few rounds of volley 'fire' from the naval guns of Ningxiang.
As a matter of fact, in the transitional era of hot and cold weapons, the army was still accustomed to advancing in a neat formation without the slightest sense of anti-artillery. It was not until the Napoleonic Wars, as the power of artillery was further strengthened, that people realized that it was an important factor in determining a war. [There are almost all the popular books I want to read.,It's much more stable than the general station.,There's no ads in the whole text.] As a result, the formation of the troops began to thin out, turning into linear formations, and the tactics of concocting artillery appeared.
A large army is usually composed of cavalry, infantry, musketeers, and artillery, and the troops begin to integrate. Of course, the power of army artillery at that time could not be compared with that of naval artillery at all, and its lethality on the battlefield was still within a tolerable range.
Later, with the advent of new gunpowder and the popularity of rear-loading guns, crowd tactics were almost tantamount to suicide. Thus, the straggler front began to appear. Later, the appearance of heavy machine guns on the battlefield made the cavalry withdraw from the stage of history, and the form of warfare became trench warfare from line charge.
Therefore, every time a new weapon appears, it will inevitably give rise to new tactics, which in turn will change the form of warfare.
The Ningxiang Navy's use of naval artillery to suppress the charge of the army group on the shore this time was a new tactic that the ancients had never seen, and it was not surprising when Jiannu had seen such powerful firepower, and it would collapse at the first touch. The generational gap in weapons and tactics is a desperate distance on the battlefield, which cannot be compensated by the number of people and the courage of the soldiers
。 Sun Yuan's hand is simply bullying.
Of course, it is impossible for this kind of heavy naval artillery to be moved to land, and the largest artillery of the Ningxiang Army is only an eight-pounder Napoleon bronze cannon. Therefore, the army is still equipped with four-pounder guns at most.
Li Mingyuan saw with his own eyes that Bai Yintu was directly hit on the head by a heavy artillery shell and was blown to pieces. Even after a long distance, he was still pushed into the air by the powerful qi 'wave', and when he landed, he found that a 'leg' had disappeared, and it was estimated that it had been cut off by a projectile.
It's strange to say, it doesn't hurt, and there is no bleeding at the place where the broken 'leg' is broken, and it is estimated that the wound of the blood vessel has been burned and condensed by the scorching projectile in an instant.
Looking at it again, Bai Yintu's side had turned into a huge circle center, and the center of the circle was full of broken 'meat', and Jian couldn't see a complete corpse of people and horses.
Holding back the horror in his heart, he tied the broken 'leg' with a cloth belt, and Li Mingyuan crawled towards the place where Yin Tu had fought before. He knew that it was impossible for him to escape from this "chaotic" battlefield with his injuries, and if he wanted to live, he could only 'get' something of value first, hoping that he would be able to save his life when it fell into the hands of the enemy.
People who can be traitors have very good brains, and after turning over in a mass of broken 'meat' for a long time, they finally found a hand. There is a green 'jade' plate finger on this hand, which is the thing that worships Yin Tu.
Sure enough, after hearing that Bai Yintu was dead, Gao Jie knew that the matter was very important, so he 'handed him over' to the Xing family, which allowed Li Mingyuan to escape with his life.
……
"Bai Yintu is dead!"
"Bai Yintu is dead!"
The shouts of the Qin army were everywhere, and this shout accelerated the collapse of the Qing army.
It doesn't matter if Bai Yintu was killed by artillery, along with him was the Chinese army commander's flag and the entire command system.
Without command and being covered by the navy's terrifying artillery fire, the Jiannu army suddenly turned into a swarm of headless flies, running and crashing into the narrow area of Guazhou, and more soldiers died in trampling on each other than under the swords of the Qin army.
The navy's artillery fired extremely accurately, and each shot rolled up a large number of fragments of human 'flesh', stirring up gusts of wind on the ground
。 It was difficult for the artillery of his navy to hit accurately, because those who were not allowed had already died at the bottom of the sea. At least in the ocean, two warships were 'firing' at each other with cannons a few miles apart, each of them was sailing at high speed, and the sea 'waves' were rising and falling, and in their eyes, the enemy was just a small black spot, and it was so difficult to 'shoot' at the target.
There were more battles, and the skills of the artillery were also improving rapidly.
Now, tens of thousands of Jiannu are in front, and in the eyes of naval gunners, the target is so big that it is almost fixed, like a big whale floating on the water, and it is more difficult to hit than to hit.
These navies were also hateful, changing the landing point of the shells, and the cannons were lined up like big brooms from north to south, and from west to east to rush Jiannu towards the water.
The battlefield was so crowded, full of gunsmoke and dust, unable to see, and lost command. The Qing soldiers' 'tide' has lost their basic judgment, and they just run towards the Yangtze River step by step, until they plop and fall into the water.
The people in front found that it was cold under their feet, and they just screamed badly, but the people behind instantly squeezed over, and they rushed and bumped into each other. So, groups of soldiers fell into the water like dumplings.
Since entering the customs, Jiannu has captured a large amount of military resources and is very well equipped. Almost everyone wore thick armor, and this knee-length cotton armor turned into an iron scale when it saw water. Many Qing soldiers sank to the bottom of the water without even screaming, and hundreds of people disappeared in the turbulent waters of the Yangtze River in an instant.
Seeing that the companion in front of him fell into the water, the Jiannu in the back probably thought that this was also an escape route, and they all rushed to jump into the water at the same time. Behind it is a sea of fire and chasing soldiers, no matter how late it is, it is also a dead word.
Although the Manchus were a fishing and hunting people, the water 'sex' was good, but everyone was wearing thick armor, and how could they float up when they entered the water. What's more, the vast majority of the Han army in the army are northerners, and many of them have never seen water in their lives, and they are obviously unable to survive if they are directly squeezed into the water.
Gao Jie had stopped, not because he was tired, but because he was completely frightened by the scene in front of him.
He is a fierce person, with a strong 'sexuality' personality, and he has been rolling on the Shura field all his life, and the most he has seen are dead people.
When he could go to war, he mostly 'fought' with Li Zicheng's intruding army, and the intensity of the war was not great. Because, as soon as the armies of both sides do not go well, they will immediately flee back. Never before has there been a battle like today, in which almost all the troops were wiped out, and the casualties reached fifty percent
。
Moreover, such a continuous flight of flesh and blood has exceeded his understanding of the cruel 'sex' of war.
In front of me, thousands of people are stacked on top of each other on the river, like schools of fish in a mud pond that is about to dry up, jumping, dying and struggling. Densely packed, a large area floated.
The terrible thing is that the Qing soldiers in the back knew that the front was dangerous, but they still rushed to the front one after another, and poured down from the river bank involuntarily.
Gao Jie's scalp was numb, a layer of 'chicken' skin bumps all over his body, and his mind was ignorant, just staring blankly at the river that had turned into a pot of people's 'meat' soup in the distance.
Even so, the Ningxiang Navy refused to give up, and the artillery began to bombard the water, and the white 'colored' water columns rose one after another, more and more, and gradually connected into a white and bright forest.
Then, a continuous and strange "sigh" sound broke through the air, and from almost all the warships, there were countless fine flue tracks in the air to draw a graceful arc, and one by one the strange weapons more than three feet long fell into the water, making a clattering explosion.
It's covered with fire and iron.
"Wow" There was a loud vomiting sound, Gao Jie looked back, but saw his son spitting sour water on the horse with his small waist pole.
Gao Jie stretched out his hand and patted his vest: "This is war, you have to be strong!" ”
Is this war, and how is it different from what I know?
Gao Jie felt 'confused' in his heart, he felt that he and Sun Yuan were no longer people of the same world, and he couldn't understand the tactics of the Ningxiang Army no matter what.
At this time, a guard shouted: "The cannon is stopped, the cannon is stopped!" ”
Gao Jie looked at the center of the river, and the big ship of the Ningxiang Navy stopped flickering at the same time, and in the smoke of gunpowder, one white sail after another began to rise. Already fast-moving boats began to move slowly towards the upper reaches of the river, and the battle was over.
The battle for the navy was over, and so was the battle for the Qin army.
Gao Jie lifted up his 'spirit' and shouted: "Pass my order, annihilate the last remnants of the enemy, kill!" ”
