Chapter Seventy-Four: Sacrificing Explosives to Break the Phalanx
The Mongol army now split into two wings and attacked the Tang army. Because Zhang Biwu had been wary of him for a long time, and the Tang army had been trained for a long time, it was not a sudden accident that would make them panic and give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of the mediocre army.
Zhang Biwu had already taken precautions, he ordered the trains on both sides to be dispatched immediately, Sun Chuanting had built 30,000 trains to fight against Li Zicheng, but unfortunately he failed in the end.
However, the method of building the train has been handed down. Zhang Biwu has been paying attention to the fact that the train can be turned into a train formation to keep the formation, or used as a block to hold off the enemy.
The Mongols, who were mainly cavalry, launched cavalry fire, while the opposing train was in front of them, and it was not so easy for them to break through the train.
The "sonorous" arrows continued to shoot at the shield erected on the train, but they could not break the people inside.
On the contrary, the soldiers inside either shot with bird guns or killed and wounded a large number of Mongol soldiers with arrows.
At the same time, there was a group of men who brought the wagons, and they were loaded with many nails and shields. Of course, the miraculous effect of a shield with nails will be known later.
But Zhang Biwu won't use this strange trick, he has to destroy the enemy's elite German mercenaries first!
Wagner looked back, and first saw that the Mongolian army was blocked by the train of the Tang army, although the Mongolian soldiers were brave, but they did not use their strength to eat, they still thought in their hearts that if they could reconcile, they would reconcile, and if they could not fall out with the Tang army, they would fall out.
If you can't win, surrender, run! It's in this state of mind. How can they fight desperately? Like. It will be difficult for the Mongol army to break through the train formation.
Zhang Biwu will be able to buy himself a lot of time. He won't be delayed, because the European coalition forces are also unifying, and they will fight back at any time.
Now in this big battle, it depends on who can grasp the time, Zhang Biwu can eliminate the German mercenaries as quickly as possible, then he will be able to free up his hands to deal with the other armies faster, if the speed is not good, he is very likely to fail!
It's just that German mercenaries are not easy to deal with. The German mercenaries were outnumbered. But they didn't give up the fight at all!
In terms of individual combat ability, the soldiers of the Tang Army can be said to be inferior to the mercenaries, and in terms of team cooperation, the Tang Army only has a slight advantage over the mercenaries.
And both sides were the best soldiers in the world, and they both took orders and fought to the bottom of the line against all odds.
Gunpowder! Yes! There's a lot of gunpowder on the wagon! If you want to destroy an equally powerful, heroic army, you can't rely on brute force alone.
No, some people who dare to die just rushed over with gunpowder, and their goal is very clear is to detonate the gunpowder and die with the enemy!
They have no fear of death at all. Instead, they had a hint of pride. They're coming! All they shouted was, "Come on! Long live Huaxia! ”
In their hearts, they want to use their lives to make Huaxia stand at the top of the world. Let those who dare to offend China receive the punishment they deserve!
Mercenaries are not fools, they can see the subtleties! They cried out: "The blazing flames! It's dynamite! ”
Their guess is good! I saw a Tang soldier rushing here, although his whole body was pierced by a spear, but he heard his shout: "Die!" ”
"Boom" is a sky-shattering sound! Not only were the spears cut off, but they were blasted into the sky along with their masters.
More and more daredevils rushed to the phalanx with explosives. The mercenaries in the phalanx are not calm, they know that the other party is some terrorist, as long as they enter the phalanx, everyone has to finish the game!
But these people didn't retreat in a panic, causing the formation to be chaotic. The reason is very simple, they think that they can't mess around, even if they die, they have to keep military discipline.
The Germans were old-fashioned, rigid in their discipline, and even if they were going to die, they would not make the slightest change, just because the order was not given to leave, they had to continue to maintain their formation.
It is this characteristic that makes the phalanx of Germanic mercenaries not chaotic, if their formation is chaotic and they fight separately, it will be conducive to the Tang army to eliminate them.
It's just that in the war, if their phalanx is still shrinking like this, when a group of death squads brings the explosives, they will all blow up into the sky!
Of course, a large group of people still came, and they rushed to the Tang soldiers with explosives.
They shouted, "Don't try to come closer! "It's very simple, they just want to stop the Tang soldiers with gunpowder to ensure the safety of their phalanx!
An axe was about to come down, but it was flashed by someone who came with great speed, and he was cut empty. A trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes, and then he waved wildly. But seeing that the other party didn't want to pay attention to him, even if he was kissed by an axe on the back, and the blood was still flowing, he was walking forward like a fly, and he wanted to run to the phalanx as soon as possible.
"How so?" Obviously, the mercenaries were also surprised, they felt the strength of the Tang soldiers, the Tang soldiers were terrible!
There were still some mercenaries who were not afraid of death, he hugged Tang Bing tightly and shouted: "German honor is above all else!" ”
He hugged him tightly, Tang Bing was hit with an axe on his back, and it was not enough for others to be tall and strong, so it was extremely difficult for him to break free.
"Brethren! Fight the enemy! The Great Wall will never fall! Tang Bing was the last to tear out his throat and scream, he knew that now they were only one death!
As he called, they are the Great Wall that China can rely on the most, because of their existence, how can the Great Wall fall?
"Boom!" Both of them exploded to pieces, and the debris of their bodies was still flying everywhere.
"For the honor of Germany! We can't let the enemy rush to the phalanx! "It can be seen that the mercenaries who came out of the phalanx are not afraid of death, and they are also out of the way! Stop the death squads.
No, Tang Bing rushed over, he held the explosives tightly, the distance was still far away, and he couldn't put it where the other party was, so he could only keep rushing forward.
With a "porphyr", the spear pierced out, his left foot was hit, and he immediately wanted to kneel, but he didn't kneel, he just shouted: "I am a proud Chinese!" None of the Chinese knelt! ”
As soon as he gritted his teeth, he let his bloody left foot jump harder, and he continued to move forward! Yes! Forward! Keep moving forward!
With a "whoosh", he took another blow, and the mercenaries attacked him several times in succession, obviously trying to kill him!
He had already suffered several wounds, he did not give in, he wanted to move forward, he shouted: "Boom! Fried! ”
One of the mercenaries couldn't help but exclaim in surprise: "Are you crazy? Are you really crazy? Do you want to go any further? You've done enough! You are a very outstanding, hard-to-find super good soldier! ”
Even if you say it again, it's useless! His mouth was just constantly muttering and exploding. All he wanted to do was blow up the enemy's phalanx and inflict a large number of casualties on the mercenaries.
A mercenary came up and tried to take the explosives from his arms, but he hugged them so tightly that no one wanted to take them from his hands.
In the end, he received more than a dozen blows, and he could not bear it anymore, he died, and he fell in a pool of blood, but his hand grasped the explosives tightly and did not let go at all.
There were other Tang soldiers who were also rushing towards the enemy formation, and one of them was approaching, but there were many enemy soldiers in front of him, and it was impossible for him to take another step forward.
All he could do now was use all his strength and throw the explosives out of the box, which he did, but the flaming explosives exploded in mid-air and didn't hit the phalanx.
This time it was shocking that the enemy troops in the phalanx were scattered, although it was a defender, but it would not be so brainbroken that there was obviously an explosive explosion in the sky, and when would it not be flickered?
The explosives that exploded in the air above were still quite powerful, killing some enemy soldiers mercilessly.
"Stop them!" More than a dozen mercenaries rushed forward, and they wanted to stop the three Tang soldiers.
Tang Bingjia glanced at the two comrades-in-arms, and the two comrades-in-arms immediately understood! They both nodded intently, and then said, "You go first!" We'll be there! ”
It's obvious! There were four mercenaries in front of him, but he strode over, as if trying to get past the gap between the four. Four people forcibly stopped, and at the same time two people came, and they wanted to block all the way, so that he would not have the slightest possibility of escaping!
Something happened that they didn't expect! With a "boom", he ignited the explosives, thus dying with the six mercenaries.
The other two Tang soldiers got a hint early in the morning, they just took advantage of the enemy's stunned and did not react under the explosion, they rushed strongly! To rush to the phalanx.
When the two appeared in front of the phalanx, the phalanx was not chaotic, they were just shooting arrows or shooting, and they were trying to stop the two of them, but everything they did was useless.
The two explosives exploded accurately in the enemy formation, and a large number of enemy soldiers were killed.
This time, Wagner and his soldiers are all stupid, in terms of combat effectiveness and the will to fight, their German mercenaries are the most powerful in Europe, I thought they would also be the most powerful in the world, but now it seems that the best soldiers in the world still belong to China!
At this time, gunpowder was scattered all over the ground, and gunpowder canisters were also dropped to the ground.
When these death squads advanced, they made an agreement with their comrades-in-arms, and when they succeeded, their comrades-in-arms could immediately attack. (To be continued......)
