Chapter XXXVIII: The Decisive Battle 9

However, a small number of shells fired by these cannons still caused some casualties to the Yu family army, and several of the shells actually landed in front of the Yu family army's defense line accurately.

Even a shell fell directly into the position of the Chinese army, and the shell fell only a dozen meters away from the position where Yu Xiaotian watched the enemy's formation, and directly killed and injured several of Yu Xiaotian's personal guards.

But Yu Xiaotian didn't seem to see it, and the expression on his face didn't change in any way, he waved his hand to let Zhongwei talk nonsense, and categorically refused his subordinates' request for him to retreat some distance.

He knows very well that the Yu family army is facing the most sinister test now, as the backbone of the Yu family army, he is standing here, he is the backbone of the whole army, and the morale will be incomparably high, but if he retreats at this time, then it will definitely affect the morale of many soldiers, so even if it is dangerous here, he must not retreat at this time.

In addition, after so many years of ups and downs, he has seen a lot of big scenes, although the situation is tense today, but there is still no Cheng DΓΉ who makes him feel scared, so Yu Xiaotian does not consider retreating at all.

Yu Xiaotian has actually been silently calculating the strength of Jiannu into the battlefield, although it is impossible to accurately calculate the exact strength of the enemy army on the battlefield, but the approximate number can basically be determined, Jiannu has launched three waves of offensives in less than two hours now.

Each wave of offensive troops is between 10,000 and 20,000 people, and now Jiannu has invested the third wave of troops on the battlefield, the number is obviously lower than the previous two times, but you can see through the telescope that the cavalry launched in this wave should be their absolute main force.

So he put down the binoculars, sighed slightly, and said to Liu Wang, who was standing behind him: "Order!" Prepare for a counteroffensive! After breaking up this wave of enemy troops, it's time for them to collapse too! Don't leave those mines any longer, wait for them to come, and use them! ”

After Liu Wang heard this, he immediately responded loudly, repeated Yu Xiaotian's order, and after confirming that it was correct, he immediately sent a herald to start riding out of the Chinese army, rushing to various departments to convey Yu Xiaotian's order.

Thousands of Jiannu's most elite cavalry, including some of the Bayala white-armored soldiers they called 10,000 enemies, stared at the dense artillery fire of the Yu family's army, and finally rushed to within a hundred steps of the Yujia army's formation after paying the price of nearly one-third of the casualties, roaring and showing all kinds of weapons in their hands, some with bows, some with spears, some with swords, and even Jiannu because of their strength, simply grabbed a long-handled mace, and even grabbed a big axe.

After approaching the front line of the Yu family's army, these elite cavalry of Jiannu followed the example of some of the Jiannu cavalry in front, and they also blindfolded their war horses, so that the war horses were in a state of blindness, and they could only let them drive and attack straight towards the front of the Yu family's army.

On the battlefield, if any army, especially the army of this era, pays one-tenth of the casualties in the first war, if it has not collapsed, it should be called an elite army, if an army has not collapsed after suffering two percent of the casualties, then it is definitely a group of fierce soldiers.

But today, these Jiannu armies have fought to nearly half of the casualties many times, and they have not completely collapsed, which has made Yu Xiaotian have to look at them with admiration, the reason why they did not collapse is probably because they have no way to retreat, probably because Dolgon, Du Du and others have made their lives, forcing them not to dare to collapse and flee for their lives.

But in any case, these Jiannu showed a strong combat ability today, and showed their absolute courage, which still made Yu Xiaotian admire them more or less.

This is only that, mercy at this time, has long been thrown by Yu Xiaotian to the country of Java, to treat these Jiannu, he has long been unable to have a trace of mercy, over the years, he has collected too many crimes about Jiannu's brutality, and has also seen too many tragedies caused by Jiannu in Chinese mainland.

In the history books, he has seen too many tragic massacres caused by Jiannu after entering the customs, so he has already cleaned up the last trace of mercy in his heart for these Jiannu.

So when he saw so many Jiannu, fallen in front of his army, and became a corpse that was still steaming, he didn't feel a trace of discomfort, but instead produced a feeling of relief, he had been silently doing it in the south for so many years, wasn't it just this moment?

Now that he has finally done it, although the Jiannu army has not been completely defeated by him, he also knows that Jiannu is already at the end of the crossbow at this time, as long as they are being killed in this wave of offensive, then even if Dolgon is an immortal general, he will no longer be able to turn the tide of the war, and then it is time for him to turn the initiative and completely erase this extremely brutal Jiannu army from this world.

When these thousands of last Jiannu elites rushed within a hundred steps in front of the Yujia army, among the battalions on the front, at this time, the voice of the officer roared suddenly: "Engineer obey the order!" Ignition! ”

The sappers who had been waiting for the order in the battalions, when they heard the order, grabbed the rope in their hands without saying a word, and then pulled the rope in their hands with all their might.

At the moment when they pulled the rope, more than a hundred steps in front of the Yu family army, there was a sudden series of violent explosions.

This series of violent explosions raised dust dozens of meters high in front of the two armies, and all kinds of clods and stones mixed with the stumps and severed arms of countless people and horses, as well as various body parts, including a large amount of flesh and blood, were washed into the sky together, and then scattered like a hula and a la la like rain.

Although the explosive power of black powder is not very large, it can't stand the large number of them! In order to increase the power, gunpowder bags were placed around and on the mines, and some stones, broken porcelain, and rotten iron were poured on them.

Jiannu, who was desperately charging, at this time thousands of soldiers and horses, the most concentrated was this area, and suddenly the violent explosion under their feet caught them off guard at all, and even if they were on guard, it was useless, and the violent explosion under their feet made them have nowhere to hide.

Many of the horses were torn to pieces in an instant, along with the cavalry on their backs, and even the men and horses that were not directly blown away by the explosion were no better, and the explosion of the mines raised a huge number of fragments, and the stones, mine fragments, broken porcelain pieces, broken iron nails and iron pieces that had been added to the material flew up like a shower.

But where there is an explosion, hundreds of fragments can be lifted, so that those Jiannu in the surrounding area have nothing to hide, and they are instantly blown up to the flesh and blood, and a large piece is knocked down at once, and the Jiannu around each explosion point are lifted to the back of the horse, and the screams and exclamations of the people, mixed with the sad neighing of the war horses, resounded throughout the battlefield.

After the explosion in the sky, it rained blood for a long time, mixed with a large number of earth and stone fragments, as well as human and horse stumps, broken arms, minced meat, internal organs, and even more whirring and falling everywhere.

Some Jiannu who were lucky enough not to be killed and injured on the spot were sprinkled with flesh and blood on their heads, and they couldn't even see their human forms when they were dusty.

Even if the Jiannu nerves are so big, they can't stand such a terrifying scene, some Jiannu are so frightened that they want to drag the war horses, but the huge explosion sound makes many war horses be greatly frightened, and they are suddenly frightened, and they become frightened horses, and they no longer listen to the call of the cavalry on their backs on the battlefield, and they begin to jump around, or simply lower their heads and crash everywhere.

The Jiannu cavalry array, which originally looked like a rolling torrent, suddenly became chaotic at this time, and the entire front was torn apart by a slick mine array, and it collapsed in an instant.

Even Jiannu, who was running in front, was shocked by the earth-shattering explosion behind him, and the war horses were frightened one after another, and they collided on the battlefield, and could no longer listen to their control, and rushed towards the Yujia army front.

Dorgon stared dumbfounded at the wall of earth that had suddenly risen from the explosion on the battlefield in front of him, his mouth was almost open enough to fit a fist on the spot, and his jaw almost dislocated and fell to the ground, and he didn't recover for a long time, as if he was stupid.

Finally, when the scene of flesh and blood slowly dissipated and the dust settled, what he saw was the scene of thousands of his most elite cavalry, which had long since collapsed, and a large number of cavalry who were lucky enough not to die, were scurrying around on the battlefield at this time, and there was no formation at all.

Thousands of soldiers and horses were completely crushed under this big explosion, and they all struggled to control them, sat down and startled their horses, turned their horses' heads, turned around, and ran back like crazy.

At this time, the Jiannu generals, who were still watching the enemy's formation, as well as the Mongolian generals, including a small number of Han soldiers, suddenly became violently commotioned, and everyone let out a panicked exclamation.

There were even a few groups of soldiers and horses of the Eight Banners of Mongolia, and suddenly they disrespected the order, and under the leadership of their leader, they turned their horses' heads one after another, screamed in amazement, and began to flee from the battlefield.

When Yu Xiaotian saw this scene, he suddenly pulled out the treasure knife on his waist, held it high above his head, and roared wildly: "Brothers of the sea wolf! Follow me to kill slaves! Rush! ”

Before the voice fell, he knocked the horse's belly with his heel, and the sturdy yellow horse that sat down immediately pulled out his legs and rushed forward, and his personal guards, without saying a word, took off the riding spears on their horses, shouted wildly and began to follow Yu Xiaotian's back, rushing towards the front of the formation.

And the cavalry of those two battalions, of course, will never be left behind, they have been waiting for this order for a long time, knowing that Yu Xiaotian ordered a surprise attack, and rushed out of the Chinese army in the first place, so they also immediately urged the war horses, hurricane-like involved in the battlefield, like a giant dragon, crossed the infantry line, and only rushed towards the rout of the battlefield Jiannu.

Even the infantry battalions began to move, and the battalions immediately shrank into phalanx, formed a marching formation, and began to stride forward with a shout.
