Chapter 610: Continuous Attack
Huang Degong's tactics are also very simple. If he relies on the quality of his soldiers to fight an offensive war? Huang Degong was afraid that he would vomit blood again, so he could only choose defensive battles.
Huang Degong first divided those inferior soldiers into left, middle and right wings, blocked them with trucks, carts and other vehicles, shot with bows and arrows and firearms at a long distance, and fought hand-to-hand in a group at short range. Huang Degong divided his carefully trained 3,000 cores into three teams, each with 1,000 teams, ready to make a counter-charge as soon as there was a crisis ahead.
But no matter how carefully arranged, those rookies are still stage frightened. So after the start of the war, Liu Guoneng didn't spend much effort, but under the fire of firearms and bows and arrows, pushed away the obstacles, and killed the rookie.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Huang Dequan first led his elite team to counterattack.
Huang Degong was born in the Liaodong military household and was a native of Kaiyuanwei, and he went from a small soldier to a general step by step. Huang Degong's father died early, and he was bold when he was a teenager. Since the military household system of the Ming Dynasty was inherited from father to son, he was also transferred to become a soldier.
When Huang Degong was twelve years old, his mother brewed wine, which he secretly drank all of it. When his mother reproached, Huang Degong smiled and said, "It's easy to return." After the war in Liaodong, Huang Degong fought in the army with a knife, beheaded the second degree, and was rewarded with fifty taels of silver. When he returned, he gave it to his mother and said, "My son will use this to pay off the wine." ”
What a legend! is better than the young hero Wu Sangui. You know, at that time, he was a young man, and a schoolboy wearing a red scarf actually killed two Tartars in hand-to-hand combat, he must have taken drugs.
Because of Huang Degong's wonderful performance, he began to serve as the pro-army of the strategy, and then repeatedly made military exploits, and his achievements rose higher and higher. Therefore. Huang Degong's battles have always been the first to take the lead.
"Smack!" A head was shattered like a watermelon, blood and brains were splashed everywhere, and Huang Degong's mouth also splashed a few drops, but this caused him to be even more ferocious, he raised the iron whip in his hand and smashed it against the back of the peasant army around him. With a crisp sound, the peasant army's spine was broken, and the whole person bent at an exaggerated angle and fell.
"Bell, bell", Liu Guoneng's Chinese army heard a sound of gold, and the surviving peasant army immediately ran towards their own position.
Liu Guo can take a look. The peasant army that fled was already sparse, and Liu Guoneng's own formation was also ready to respond, he reined in his horse and shouted: "Don't chase!" The Ming army also suspended the pursuit and returned to their own formation.
The Ming army was cheering. The rookies are also excited. In front of the Ming army's position, there were hundreds of peasant soldiers, but the Ming army's casualties were less than 100. Such a small victory. It also makes the rookie confident a lot.
Huang Degong took the clean white cloth handed over by the soldiers around him. He wiped his face vigorously, and then shouted, "Don't howl! Pile up the carts neatly, and the thieves will come up. ”
But at this moment, the captain of the personal soldiers beside him pointed to the distance and exclaimed: "Handsome! Look, the thieves are really coming up. ”
"Huh!" , Huang Degong looked over in surprise. It was found that Liu Guoneng's troops had indeed lined up and launched a second round of attack.
Huang Degong's brows furrowed. In such a short period of time, the next round of attacks was launched, and it seemed that the thief army in front of him was in front of him. I made a lot of determination today, and some of them are really not good!
So Huang Degong immediately turned around and called out to the thousand-man team preparing for the second round of counter-charge: "Listen up!" After a while, I listened to the order to rush, and I followed closely when I rushed. There is wine and meat when you come back alive, and you come back without Ming Jin. Don't be nervous, the thief army is a dish! ”
……
Huang Degong jumped off his sweaty warhorse, and he himself was sweating. Huang Degong shook his sour right arm, took the powerful war horse brought by his own soldiers, and asked, "How many times did the thief rush?" ”
"Seven times!" The soldier replied.
In fact, Huang Degong also knew the number of times Liu Guoneng charged. The reason why he asked again was only to be more affirmative.
"The calf raised it is also evil today!" Huang Degong began to curse.
It is no wonder that Huang Degong has doubts, that is, the modern army that has undergone strict training, while suffering huge casualties, can still launch more than three consecutive charges, that is the ace army. And Liu Guoneng actually launched seven charges and did not collapse, that is the trump card of the trump card.
Huang Degong was puzzled, when did such an outlaw army come out in this big tomorrow? And it's not an official army, it's a mud-legged thief army who just threw down a hoe. Is the sun coming out of the west?
What made Huang Degong vomit blood even more was that how could such an army stare at him? Didn't you look at the yellow calendar when you went out today?
However, Huang Degong was still very satisfied with the performance of his troops today. After the first few successful counter-charges, even the rookies in the front row were also highly motivated, and they fully exerted their training level, and in the third and fourth interceptions, they didn't even let the elite of the counter-charge play, and through their own efforts, they repelled the attack of Liu Guoneng's department.
But in the face of the last few attacks, those rookies were a little unbearable. It's not a matter of physical strength, they also follow the pre-war arrangement, and the front and rear rows take turns to rest.
The most important thing is that the psychological pressure is too great, such an endless attack makes people nervous, coupled with Liu Guoneng's kind of death-seeking, no matter how thick the nerves are, they are about to be broken.
Huang Degong knew that his troops could no longer afford it, not to mention that the rookies were already timid, and even the veterans of the border army were a little hairy. As long as Liu Guoneng's troops launch one or two more attacks, their own troops will definitely collapse.
Huang Degong is uncomfortable here, and Liu Guoneng is actually uncomfortable there. In today's battle, Liu Guoneng has suffered more than 3,000 casualties, and these people are not cannon fodder, but Liu Guoneng's old battalion. Otherwise, under such a large casualty, no matter how capable Liu Guo was, he would not be able to restrain the attack of the troops.
However, although the people in the old camp also obeyed Liu Guoneng's orders, they were also quite puzzled by Liu Guoneng's abnormal behavior.
What was the purpose of the peasant army's rebellion? To survive, of course. There is no way to be forced to a dead end, but as long as there is a glimmer of life, the peasant army will never fight hard with the officers and soldiers, and follows the principle of fighting if it can be beaten, and running away if it can't be defeated.
The leaders of those old battalions also knew that Liu Guoneng wanted to take refuge in the Runing Army. Their own families are also pinching in the hands of Runing Army. Therefore, for their own king, Liu Guo, who broke through the sky, obeyed the orders of the Runing Army and attacked the officers and troops in Hanshan, those leaders could still understand, so today they also restrained the troops and invested in attacks again and again.
But those leaders couldn't understand that Liu Guo could consume his old battalion of people so much. Without these precious treasures, it will not be possible to sell them at a good price in the future. What does your own king think? Is it crazy to want to take refuge in the official army? Don't even know how to preserve your strength?
And Liu Guoneng is also bitter and can't say it. Of course, he knew that his subordinates were complaining in his heart, but Liu Guoneng had already arranged the order of attack during the war. Out of prestige, Liu Guoneng can't change the jihua of the battle, otherwise, it will disrupt his own troops, lose his prestige, and lead to the failure of command in the future, which will be a big deal.
So by the time Liu Guoneng found out that the situation was wrong, the loss of the backbone of his old battalion was already too great, and at this time, he was already a little difficult to ride a tiger. At this time, Liu Guoneng was looking forward to someone by his side to persuade him, and he would just get off the donkey and stop fighting. But on weekdays, Liu Guoneng's prestige is too high, those leaders dare not persuade because of their lack of identity, and Jin Xiong, who is the only one with enough identity, is in Huanggang, so Liu Guoneng's heart is becoming more and more irritable.
At this moment, a round of sunset shone on Liu Guoneng's body, and he finally waited for the reason. So Liu Guoneng immediately ordered: "It's getting late, the whole army will return to the camp!" ”。 And Liu Guoneng's order also made all the leaders, including Liu Guoneng, secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
When he left the battlefield, Liu Guoneng was still muttering to himself: "Now you should be able to explain!" ”
Huang Degong was also relieved to see Liu Guoneng's return to the camp. At this time, he had already gathered all the elites, and he was waiting for Liu Guoneng to attack and make a big counterattack. Hopefully, this counterattack will buy some time to withdraw as many of my troops as possible.
So when Huang Degong also withdrew his troops to the camp, he still had a feeling of the rest of his life. But as soon as the inventory was counted, Huang Degong's heart hung up again, and the casualties of the Ming army exceeded 1,500. Most of these casualties were inflicted during the last few attacks of Liu Guoneng's troops.
Modern well-trained troops, with more than three casualties and more than five achievements completely disabled, are not enough to replenish personnel after the war, but also need a long period of rest and psychological adjustment. Because those surviving fighters are human beings after all, and when they see so many comrades-in-arms who get along day and night lose their lives, they will always be afraid of death and have a phobia of the battlefield.
And for the average Ming army, if the casualties reach 10%, it is enough for the entire army to collapse. Although today's battle was too fast-paced, so that many Ming troops did not have time to fear, but the performance of their own troops on the battlefield was enough to make Huang Degong proud, after all, the proportion of rookies in this army was too high.
However, with the return of the soldiers who had gone to the battlefield to collect the corpses, a depressing atmosphere immediately filled the entire barracks. The battlefield was so miserable, there were so many corpses piled up in a small area, and the flesh was covered in the ground, and there was not even a place to stay. And it was still summer, and the corpses decomposed quickly, and the disgusting stench of corpses spread in the air, making people want to faint immediately. (To be continued......)
