In front of the winding brown earth wall, there were crowds of people spread like a tide, and the team behind had dispersed.
However, there were horse soldiers rushing from each battalion, the two soldiers intersected, and the direction of movement was opposite, like a whirlpool. The scene was very spectacular.
The horse soldiers rushed over with sparse rangers and were attacked by rows of muskets. Many people were caught, but with their running speed, many people approached the earth wall.
But there was a deep hook in front of the earthen wall. The horse soldiers were not stupid enough to jump into the ditch. They fired at the head of the wall with three-eyed guns, and then pulled the bow and shot arrows.
The horse soldiers were very brave, and nearly half of the casualties had not yet retreated, as if they were coming to die; they obviously won the attack time for the infantry behind them.
The armored infantry like a forest, the long guns and spears are like moving trees.
Some people kept falling down amid the sound of guns, but a central government infantry really endured the casualties and approached. They roared and rushed up and stabbed the wall with their spears.
But at this moment, the firearms soldiers behind the Suzaku Army stood up, both outside the range of the spear attack and above the waist wall.
Slap... A gunshot.The government and infantry finally couldn't stand such a battle. The survivors threw down their spears and turned around and ran away.
The infantry army at the front retreated, and soon the several square formations on the back stopped advancing, and they wisely turned around and retreated.
A large number of people retreated to the distance, gradually moving away.
On the flat ground outside the waist wall, there was a terrible scene. There were corpses lying on almost every small part, and there were several concentrated places and even the corpses were stacked.
The weapons inserted on the ground, the miscellaneous objects made the battlefield full of chaos and chaos.
This is probably the scene of corpses everywhere.
There have been even greater disasters in the world, such as the flooding of the Yellow River, with hundreds of thousands of casualties, but the intuitive visual experience is completely impossible to catch up with such a battlefield.
People who died in natural disasters were widely distributed, but at this time, the war was mainly due to the limited power of weapons and the main mode of concentrating troops to determine the outcome. It would be amazing that so many people died in a small battlefield at once.
The smoke gradually dissipated, and Zhang Ning and others' faces were already dark, as if they had been wiped with a pot of ashes. Xin Wei next to him was wiping his face silently with a handkerchief.
Zhang Ning looked into the distance, and the official army camp was full of people in the distance. He felt that the British Duke Zhang Fu should be there, but he just couldn't see it.
This battle should have been an order from Zhang Fu, but I don’t know what he thought about seeing the scene of the corpse everywhere.
At this moment, some people walked over with airs and walked away.
A man riding a horse walked up with a wooden stick tied with white silk and shouted: Look, we don’t bring any weapons!They are all raised by their parents. Everyone has wives, children, and young people at home. Don’t fire guns from the brothers on the opposite side. It’s convenient for us to save those who are not dead.
The soldiers behind the wall stood there watching, no one spoke.
Zhang Ning on the fort saw it clearly and turned to a messenger and said: Go and send the command. At this time, attacks are strictly prohibited, so that the other party can take away the wounded soldiers.He told the military generals of the government that I respected the brave soldiers who fought and allowed the wounded soldiers who had fulfilled their duties to return home alive.
After a while, the call from the messenger came from below, repeating Zhang Ning's words.The general immediately raised his head and looked at the figure on the castle for a long time.
At this moment, Zhang Chengzong suddenly shouted at the top of his voice: Don’t move, stand in your own place... The people on your side will remember that they put you on the first wall, how did they go to the back?Where are your bosses, come out!
Some of them stood, some were sitting against the earthen wall, looking at the group of people being grabbed.
Some people are eating dry food and drinking water, while others are taking care of the injured, and the surroundings are already calm.
Zhang Chengzong turned over and rushed over with a team of soldiers, cursing and asking people to seize the deserter's weapons.
Zhang Ning called another messenger and whispered: Go and tell Zhang Chengzong that one of the ten deserters will be killed!
The deserters were cleared out, all from Jiujiang Army.
The soldiers of Yongding Camp would not retreat in such a battle that would obviously not be defeated.
The deserters had about a few hundred people, all of whom were taken away with muskets and soldiers, and they were rushed to the spacious flat ground between the two walls.
The people stood obediently with dejected and terrified, as there were troops loaded with firearms on both sides facing them.
Zhang Chengzong ordered them to be divided into eight rows and said loudly: Start counting from both sides, and die if you count until ten. If you dare to leave where you stand, you will be killed!
The soldiers who were performing the execution took muskets one by one, and touched the muzzle on people's backs and read a number. The unlucky deserters all had white faces, and some of them were scared out of cold sweat.
When it counted to ten, a musket hit the man's back and knocked down one.
Even if he was not dead, after this incident, it felt like he was walking in front of the King of Hell.
Zhang Chengzong shouted: There is a saying in our army that those who seek to live die, and those who seek to live live!After this battle, one of the ten people who fought desperately in front of him could not die; if you run away, one of them would have to pick one out to take the blame!Escape at the last battle is quite light!
The battlefield was quiet for an afternoon, and Zhang Fu did not send anyone to try the attack.
Zhang Ning sent someone up to shout and agreed to the official army to send someone to collect the body.
If the corpse is thrown in the wild, it is prone to plague if it rots. At the same time, the officers and soldiers should not be willing to watch their own people placing them in the wild and exposed to the sun and rain.
At night, the officials' troops began to retreat to the corridor on the north bank of Baishui Lake.They have no results in this battle, but they may not give up if they don’t try it.
The garrisons of the Zhuque Army and Jiujiang Army also set up tents behind the earthen wall at night. When repairing fortifications, they were trampled to the ground, smoke from cooking fires rose everywhere, and the injured soldiers were carried to the city one after another.
Zhang Chengzong was left to garrison on duty, and Yuzhewen also followed Zhang Ning back to the city.
In the evening, the Governor's Office came back to do a detailed work and reported the information found in front of Zhang Ning.
The Southern Army of the Official Army took a boat to transport troops from Duchang, and the front army had seized Nankang Prefecture south of the Jiujiang River.
No one came back to say what happened to the Northern Route Army in the west. It was estimated that it was time to cross the river by the Yangtze River.
Zhang Ning, Yu Qian and others discussed in the lobby for a while, and everyone was speculating about what more of the official army would do after they approached Jiujiang City.
Some people say that the official army may attack from three sides at the same time to disperse the strength of the Suzaku Army.
But after today's battle, Zhang Ning didn't think Zhang Fu would do this; even if the official army had more than 100,000 troops, he could not afford such a huge loss of tactic. After all, the price paid by the Zhuque Army was very low.
If you siege but don’t attack, will you trap everyone to death?Zhang Ning guessed Zhang Fu's idea, and this stupid method is also very commonly used.In ancient times, when generals encountered a strong city and no artillery, they surrounded and waited for it if they could not kill it.
There was a lot of food in Jiujiang City, and Zhang Ning said: Tomorrow morning, come with me to see the granaries everywhere.
However, there were horse soldiers rushing from each battalion, the two soldiers intersected, and the direction of movement was opposite, like a whirlpool. The scene was very spectacular.
