Chapter 669: No Piece of Armor Remains
In fact, as Liu Xingxing said, Hao Fenglou is training, and this trip is Langshanwei.
At this moment, Lang Son Wei is ready.
The most elite first battalion of men and horses began to check their armament under the leadership of Zhou Chao of Qianhu, and more than 1,000 people, all of them were fearless, and after confirming it again and again, they set off immediately.
Immediately after the other two battalions as a response, even the Shenji Guard also poured out, assuming an artillery position on the riverbank as a countermeasure.
As soon as the Ming army moved, the Siamese on the other side noticed it and immediately began to move.
Half-crossing and attacking, this is the calculation of the Siamese, therefore, they will indulge the Ming army to cross the river, but they will never allow it, let them pass calmly.
Here, time must be choked.
This kind of strategy, naturally can not deceive the Ming army, since this is the case, the conspiracy has become a conspiracy, Zhaolu Qunying ordered, the Siamese army pressed up together, the middle road is Zhaolu Qunying led by two hundred elephant soldiers and three thousand guards, left and right wings each five thousand Siamese soldiers and horses, sharpening knives, ready to attack at any time.
The sun is scorching.
Zhaolu Qunying was already sweating, and he didn't know whether it was hot sweat or cold sweat. He sat on the war elephant, condescending, but sweating. There is no majesty of a king at all.
The opposing Ming army began to cross the river, and they slowly advanced along the stone bridge, first a few scouts rode across the bank, and when they saw that there was no danger nearby, they beckoned the foot soldiers behind to move.
The dense procession began to move.
And on this side, the Siamese horn has also sounded.
The time has come!
On the other side of the river, large camps across Siam erupted in shouts of killing. Immediately after that, the Siamese officers and soldiers went crazy and killed at the bridge.
Zhao Lu squinted, his Chinese army. I didn't rush to move, but waited here for the time being.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
"The King's ......"
The golden-armored guards who were standing beside Zhaolu Qunying couldn't help but say, "King, the other party has shield soldiers...... There is a ...... of gunslingers."
This guard's eyesight is excellent, although it is very far away, he can still see the reality of the other party, and Zhaolu Qunying heard the word shield soldier. couldn't help but doubt, he also knew the importance of knowing himself and his opponent, so he was very interested in the Ming army. There has been considerable in-depth research, especially the Ming army in Lang Son, who had learned a lot about Guò Shangjia earlier.
The Ming army in Lang Son has always regarded guns and artillery as their killer weapons. Arguably. This is a military horse without any armor and armed with gunpowder, but now, what are they doing with a big shield?
The big shield is often used against bows and arrows, and for the Siamese, there were originally special archers, but if the bow and arrow were fired against the Ming army. Under the opponent's guns and artillery, there is no advantage. Rather than this, it is better to abandon the bow and arrow.
In this case, what is the use of the other party's big shield?
Zhao Lu Qunying didn't know, of course he wouldn't think that this was the other party's 'stupid', if the other party was stupid, a lone army could enter the royal city, wouldn't it mean that he was even more stupid?
Zhao Luqun couldn't figure it out, but right now, he couldn't afford to think about it.
The overwhelming Siamese soldiers and horses rushed over from all directions, and the drums sounded like thunder, shouting to kill and shake the sky.
On the other side, the battalion did not retreat, but continued to cross the bridge one after another, and then, when the leading shield team arrived at the bridgehead, they immediately erected a large shield, which was divided into three layers, the outer two layers were bamboo, and a layer of steel plates were sandwiched inside, which were extremely thick, and a hundred large shields immediately blocked them tightly like a square wall.
In fact, the shield is not very high, but only one meter, so the shield is like a low wall.
After that, Rulin's guns appeared next to him, and they put them on their shields and didn't move.
The Siamese people have been getting closer and closer, they have studied the tactics of the Ming army, knowing that once they are gathered together, it is very easy to be defeated by the intensive shooting of the firearms, so they are in all directions, but they keep a distance, although they know that the opponent's firearms are sharp, and the casualties are very large, but such tactics are ten times that of the Ming army, as long as they can rush up, no matter what, they can give the Ming army a heavy blow.
This is also the reason why the staff officers often have a headache, the Lang Son army is like Western medicine, and the enemy is like a virus, the first time you use it, it is devastating, but after a long time, it will inevitably produce drug resistance, to put it bluntly, in fact, people don't eat your set, everyone is not stupid, and the Lang Son army fights, often become famous in a war, sensational in the world, don't say it is the Ming Dynasty, it is in this Western Siam, it is also thunderous, since they know your tactics, know your strength, although they may not be able to restrain you, You can always try to play to your strengths and avoid weaknesses, so that your advantages can be played less.
The staff officers are now pondering all kinds of tactics every day, and there are many whimsical and absurd ideas, but they can always find some essence in actual combat.
The Ming army of this battalion finally gathered at the bridgehead in a steady stream, and there were Lang Son guards who assisted the battle behind them to cross the bridge and rush to help.
And now, the first wave of Siamese has arrived.
The Siamese people were disheveled, even barefoot, wearing rattan armor, holding long knives and spears, and the momentum was enough, and they rushed to the front of the Ming army like crazy, and as expected, the fire gun sounded......
Bang bang......
One by one, the Siamese people fell, which made the Siamese a little confused for a while, and the momentum was suppressed.
Fortunately, these Siamese people, who followed the Zhaolu group, can be regarded as a division of a hundred battles, and they are not afraid, after all, their ranks are scattered, and the scattered people fall, and the others still puff up their breath and rush to kill.
The Ming army is here, naturally, it will not be polite, and the sound of the gun is endless.
After a cup of tea, the Siamese people were a little unbearable, because some people rushed to kill, and were immediately killed by the fire, and occasionally someone could rush through the line of fire, who knew that these people actually had a short gun, which was sharper at close range, and it was fired continuously, directly beating you into a pulp.
The funny thing is that it's just such a little distance, just a little bit, just a little bit, but this little bit of distance is like a moat, no matter what, it can't be killed.
Soon, there was a mountain of corpses in front of the battle.
The momentum of the Siamese people has been completely extinguished, and the hearts of those who rushed to kill in the rear team were cold, and many people had the heart to fight.
This first battle...... It's still smooth, Lang Shanwei was quite nervous at first, they didn't have any experience in war, they were annoyed when they saw those gods every day, the battle of Rayong City, it was just a small test, the taste hasn't passed, how do you feel, it's the end of the fuck, and now it's a real one, one by one a little excited, I didn't expect to fight so smoothly.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
The attacking Siamese began to have many fled, in the face of the line of fire that could not be crossed, who to change, I was afraid that I could not bear it, at this time many people lost their armor, provoked the rear of the battle to kill more than a dozen people in a row, which stopped the decline.
The Ming army must not be allowed to gain a firm foothold, and the military horses behind will cross the bridge one after another, then there will be nothing to do with everyone, this point, the top level of Siam has a consensus, so gritting his teeth, he has to continue to rush and kill.
Zhaolu Qunying, who was pressing the Chinese army to fight a straight battle, had really realized the strength of the Ming army at this time, he gasped, this is only a part of the Ming army, if the other party crosses the river with the whole army, he will really die without a place to be buried, and now, he can only fight to the death.
Zhaolu Qunying stood up from the elephant's back, pulled out his long knife, and roared: "Kill! ”
At the sound of an order, the Chinese army began to move, and two hundred giant elephants, behind which were groups of Siamese guards wearing armor, rushed forward one after another.
At first, the giant elephants were a little uneasy when they heard the sound of the fire, but gradually they got used to it and rushed forward under the control of the mahout.
Rumble...... Rumble......
The huge elephant's legs fell to the ground fiercely, and the earth made a muffled sound, and the momentum was like a rainbow.
Seeing this, the Siamese officers and soldiers on both wings immediately cheered up, and the king personally rushed to kill, awe-inspiring and fearless, who dared to retreat.
All of a sudden, countless crowds of people rushed to the Ming army's queue as if they were crazy.
Bang...... Bang......
The fire gun is another masterpiece, I don't know how many people have been shot, countless living people have been shot down, but the number of people who rushed to kill is more and more, endless.
In particular, the more than 200 giant elephants are getting closer and closer, like huge rocks, rushing quickly...... The Siamese people shouted to kill even more shocking, at this time they couldn't care about anything, the dense formation, the swarming crowd was no more than twenty zhang away from the Ming army.
"Grenadier ready."
In the rear of the fire and shield teams, more than 100 powerful officers and men were waiting for them.
One of the team officers roared: "Grenade! ”
These people, all of whom had undergone special drills, had amazing arm strength and extremely high accuracy, and they first ignited the warhead lead at hand with a flint, and then threw it fiercely, and a hundred or so 'hand bullets' crossed a perfect arc in the sky, and flew towards the position of forty or fifty feet in front of the team......
The shield men and musketeers of the front team immediately lay down and hid behind the big shields, and their bodies curled up. (To be continued......)
