The blue smoke on the messy ground could not be dissipated for a long time, killing and killing... Amid the roar, a bright blade swayed and a large group of people rushed towards him.
The soldiers of the Suzaku Army, who had suffered heavy casualties, had reached their psychological endurance limit. Many people in the front row retreated without obedience, and many soldiers in the back row with gunpowder-lead bullets loaded with gunpowder and lead ammunition weapons were unwilling to move forward, and the team had begun to become messy.
Team Sun, who had just served as the commander of the left whistle of the Third Army, was waving his sword and shouting: Change teams, change teams, prepare for a volley!
The scene became increasingly chaotic, and the army was about to lose control due to the large losses of middle and lower-level officers.
Someone is calling out: The brave will win, the weak will die, and the iron law on the battlefield!Unity and glory... Those who retreat in the battle will be killed!
……
However, people's panic cannot be eliminated by just a few people's mouths. They were fired three times in rows of muskets. More than half of the officers and soldiers in the front rows were killed and injured, and scary flesh and blood were everywhere. They were killed like his mother's death row prisoners. They were all raised by their parents. Who wouldn't be afraid of death after living for decades?
Some men can no longer control their emotions and cried out in the sky.
Dong, Dong... The skin drum sounded, and the general saw the enemy soldiers rushing closer and closer, shouted and ordered: Raise the gun and prepare to shoot in a volley!
Some people entered the shooting position one after another, and the crowds were noisy, and some people opened fire without hearing the order.
Others heard the gunshots and thought they had issued military orders, so they also fired guns with a crackling sound.
……
The running enemy fell down sporadically, but the attack was not stopped. More people behind rushed over roaring and shouting. There was no formation at all. A group of people rushed forward with swords and guns.
The distance was nearly twenty steps, and someone was running away from behind. Several horse-riding guards rushed forward and slashed around, and some people died under their own swords.
The commander was no longer able to restrain the army and let them block the enemy's charge, and the scene was very chaotic.
Team Sun was realizing that the left sentry horse had been defeated, although it had not completely collapsed.
However, he did not receive the order from the Third Army to escape. According to the rules, he should fight to the end.
Commander Sun: No order is used now, only despair lingers in my heart, I don’t know what to do.
In the end, he felt that he was an officer and obeying military orders was his duty. Since he did not order to retreat on the top of the mountain, he should continue to fight. Anyway, both the left and the other were dead.
So he shouted: Draw the sword and prepare to face the enemy!
After a while, the two armies had already met in close contact. An officer-in-arms led the way and stabbed a soldier in the chest with a knife, breaking into the crowd frantically.
In an instant, the sound of killing spread, and people fought together, and the most primitive killing broke out, and they stabbed the living with sharp weapons.
The left-shower team soon lost its organization completely, and the formation was broken through. People could no longer help but fled backwards.
There were still a few who were not afraid of death who fought with short guns, but they were soon submerged in the chaotic and crazy abortions.
The interweaving of iron and blood, screams endlessly. Some people were trampling on the ground, begging for mercy loudly in extreme miserable ways, but useless. Here, it was like hell on earth, there was no sympathy at all.
The rest of the people threw away their armor and ran back to death. The bodies were thrown everywhere, and there was no place without any blood.
Dozens of units outside the Third Army stood motionless. People watched the tragic situation ahead, and they didn't dare to make a sound, and everyone was silent.
At this moment, two horses rushed over from behind, and one of them shouted: The commander of the Third Army, if the enemy rushed to the middle post, he could order the shooting without distinction!
The so-called shooting without distinction means killing all enemies and us.
There is no such thing as Ruo at this moment. A large number of riots have already run from the front, and most of the people running in front are the defeated soldiers of the Vermilion Bird Army, carrying the pursuit officers and soldiers, and there are dense crowds of officers and soldiers behind them, and the crowds are coming like a flood.
Prepare!A voice shouted, and the drums also sounded.A row of musketeers raised their weapons and aimed the neatly slusters ahead, waiting for the upcoming order.
When the sound of guns in his camp sounded, Commander Sun, who was trapped in the crowd, understood the reality. He stood on tiptoe and saw a large number of rioters lying in the rain of bullets.
The blood beads in the air made him unable to face it anymore. He took off his helmet and threw it away, grabbed the sword and placed it on his neck, closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, and pulled it hard...
A momentary pause was knocked down by the scattered soldiers, and his body was submerged in countless steps.
The sound of gunpowder blew for a while, and the second row of muskets had entered the shooting formation.
The worst was the soldiers who were scattered on the left whistle, who were chased and slashed behind them, and there were black muzzles in front.
Some people can't run away wearing armor and equipment weighing dozens of kilograms, and they lay down to avoid lead bullets, but the crowd was too dense to pretend to be dead and could not escape, and they were soon trampled by countless iron shoes.
The people on both sides are better. They can scatter and run to both sides, avoiding the area sandwiched in the middle.
The second round of volleys killed a large number of officials and soldiers who followed and pursued, but the number of officials and soldiers was very deep, and the people behind them were still yelling and rushing.
In addition, there are also established teams that are also entering, and the offensive shows no sign of stagnation.
Soon, close combat was fought in front and hand-to-hand combat began again.
The soldiers of the Suzaku Army were equipped with short gun melee weapons, and the middle post was not dispersed, blocking the attack of the government army. The two armies fought each other on the same line, and corpses were piled up in some places.
The area where the battle was not as big as half the school ground, but the number of casualties was very large. A small piece of land was bleeding like a river, like a Shura slaughterhouse.
On the high ground of the Third Army Central Army, a general reported to Zhang Chengzong that the heavy artillery could be loaded again.The running general carefully reminded: Do you want to load the loose pieces?
This sentence is very small, but it makes everyone nearby look more serious.
Heavy artillery fills the sparse, which means preparing for the last defense on the cannon position; because the shotgun loaded by small stones and iron balls is only effective at a distance of dozens of steps, it can block the area within the range of dozens of steps in front at one time and carry out large-scale killing, which is very deterrent to the enemy group that has already rushed to the front to catch the enemy.
Doing this means that the artillery array is about to be attacked?
Zhang Chengzong held his left hand on the hilt of his waist and stared at the war not far ahead. The two armies were still fighting each other. Looking up, there were a formation of troops approaching...
The offensive of the Beijing Camp was so fierce that it looked like crazy, as if you were either dead or I was dead. Moreover, this army was quite brave and had unprecedented ability to withstand casualties.
Zhang Chengzong said in a deep voice: Fill in gunpowder, block the gun barrel, and blow up the field gun.
What... General?The artillery general was stunned for a moment, and for a moment he thought he had heard the wrong ear.
Zhang Chengzong glared at him: Order, blow up the heavy artillery!
The general then replied: The last general is ordered!
After all the silence for a while, Zhang Chengzong spoke again: In the battle, those who cannot afford to lose die more miserably and the consequences are even more serious!When the heavy artillery was blown up, the soldiers of the right squad immediately ordered the soldiers of the right squad to discard all their supplies, retreat northwest, and move closer to the main force of Yongding Camp.The middle post and the nearby defeated soldiers were ordered to disperse their own lives, and the surviving people ran towards the main force.
Everyone looked depressed, and some people's eyes were filled with tears.
He immediately sent a quick horse to report to Zhu Butang that the defeat of the Third Army was a foregone conclusion, and reported to Zhu Butang to guard against the threat of the left wing.
Zhang Chengzong looked back and said, "I should have committed suicide by apologizing for the spirit of the fallen soldiers in heaven, but the time for death is not at this time. On the other day, I will definitely kneel outside His Highness's door and beg for death for today's failure."
……
The Third Army lost more than half of its losses, and all the supplies were lost, and it was defeated on the left wing.
Zhu Heng still echoed in his mind. He might have lost more than a thousand people in half a day, and they were all elites from Yongding Camp. Such losses are really hard to bear...
How many people in Yongding Camp, known as the trump card of the Suzaku Army, have only been there in total.
Could it be my strategic mistake?
Zhu Heng tortured himself in his heart more than once.
Nearly half of the soldiers of the Third Army were killed in frontal battles, and some people could run away in an organized manner. Such a death rate shows that the defeat was definitely not the reason why the soldiers were not brave enough, but was it their own responsibilities?
In any case, we cannot step down from military power or sink into a depressed mood, and we need solutions.
The failure of the Third Army made Zhu Heng lose the confidence to directly eliminate the Shenji Camp in the field, and his current situation is easy to fall into being surrounded, resulting in an unfavorable situation of being attacked on both sides.
He decided to give up the idea of luring the official army out of the city and then defeating the opponent in field battles. After a brief discussion with the generals of the staff, he ordered the main force to retreat immediately and return to Ruichang City first to stabilize his position.
There may be some undead defeated soldiers in the wild, so Zhu Heng only sent scattered scouts to search for them and tried to bring them back to reduce the losses of soldiers.
The next day, the main force of Yongding Camp entered Ruichang City, and the Shenji Camp also followed.
At this time, some staff members thought that the official army would be at the city and besieged the city. When the official army surrounded the city, it would be extremely difficult for us to escape; reinforcements could not wait, Wuchang City was too far away, and there were no soldiers... At that time, they could only trap the lonely city, which was extremely dangerous.
However, Wei Bin opposes that statement. Wei Bin believes that if he cannot win at all in the battle, he will be useless in this battle.
If the official army dares to come to the city, we will use the advantage of the territory, form a formation behind the city, and fight to the death just like in the Battle of Gaodu.
Zhu Heng walked for a while and thought to himself: Although the first battle is not good, I am not scared to the point where I dare not even defend the city.
His hesitation was just a psychological effect, after all, he could not imagine the consequences of losing the entire Yongding Camp.
After a while, he said: Defend the city on the spot and watch for the time being how the official army is mobilized.
Next, Zhu Heng had to write a memorial to the King of Xiang in Wuchang City about the situation on the battlefield. The letter of defeat... was really uncomfortable to write.
The soldiers of the Suzaku Army, who had suffered heavy casualties, had reached their psychological endurance limit. Many people in the front row retreated without obedience, and many soldiers in the back row with gunpowder-lead bullets loaded with gunpowder and lead ammunition weapons were unwilling to move forward, and the team had begun to become messy.
