Chapter 183 Raising pirates with self-respect?
Before the artillery battalion commander was able to react, Wei Zheng had already ordered loudly.
"The rebels have understood the rules of our artillery and dared to attack us so unscrupulously. As long as our subsequent artillery is no longer regular, the rebel attacking troops will not be able to avoid the shotguns we fired."
"The command of all artillery gunners in the position, there is no need to wait for the firing order... All artillery fires freely... Kill the rebels off guard, and see if their flesh and blood bodies are powerful or the lead bullets we shoot out are powerful."
The fourth round of cannons sounded on the battlefield, and the rebels lying on the ground subconsciously rose from the ground and were about to rush forward a few steps, an accident happened.
Just two or three seconds passed, and the rebels holding shields had just stood up from the ground. More than ten cannons that made them feel scared were like a thunder, which suddenly reached their ears.
After dense lead bombs swept across the middle of the rebel attacking troops, Wang Feng saw with his own eyes that at least thirty rebels fell under this round of lead bomb attacks.
More importantly, the rebels could not advance their own line without any loss.
"Okay, just shoot like this... All artillery fires freely, leaving the rebels with no rules and no loopholes to drill, and there is no way to avoid the rain of lead bullets we shot..." Wang Feng shouted with excitement on his face.
As the rebels rushed into the range of muskets, they had already dropped almost four hundred bodies on the charge road.
Seeing the eyes of the musketeers beside him quickly shooting out a series of hot gazes, Wang Feng did not ask them to wait too long and decisively ordered: "All musketeers obey orders and shoot immediately, and shoot freely at the rebel attacking troops at the fastest speed to block their offensive steps..."
"Smack it..."
After the dense gunfire sounded, the rebels' casualties increased rapidly. Even if they carried their shields and went forward, they had to pay very heavy casualties for this.
Of course, the disadvantages of firing one thousand muskets at the same time are also reflected in the battlefield.
The musket regiment had just shot out two rounds of lead bullets. The white smoke produced by the musket shooting had completely enveloped the Tiger and Leopard Army positions on the line of the earth wall. Wei Zheng, including Wei Zheng, could not see the situation in front of the position through the naked eye or even monocular telescope, not to mention the situation and changes in the rebel positions hundreds of steps away.
As the sound of gunfire continued to sound on the battlefield, the two elite troops in charge of the rebels quickly left the battlefield and penetrated directly into the two wings of the Tiger and Leopard Army's position.
Just as Wei Zheng and Wang Feng were standing against the earth wall and quietly listening to the rebels in front of the position, a messenger suddenly rushed along the earth wall and towards his position.
Before Wei Zheng could speak, the panting messenger had already taken the lead in reporting:
"Sir, something happened..."
"The large-scale rebel attacking troops were found on both wings of the position, with at least a thousand people. Our captain asked the adults to prepare early."
"Thousands of rebels attack our wings..." Wang Feng asked with shock and disbelief.
The messenger with a panic looked like he was afraid, and before he could answer, Wei Zheng, who had not spoken, spoke.
He said to Wang Feng with a sudden enlightenment: "I didn't expect that there were such excellent generals among the rebels."
"I attacked us without remembering the losses, but in order to cover my detour troops, I went through the detours on our wings and gave us a sudden blow...high...it's so high..."
Perhaps it was for the sake of the news of the election, and Wei Zheng had just finished speaking, the sound of gunfire like a bean-like blowing began to sound on both wings of the position.
Hearing this, Wang Feng's face turned over and said with a worried look on his face: "Sir, the rebels are too cunning, and we only arranged a musket team on both wings, but the rebels have 1,000 people. The strength comparison is too great. I'm worried that they can't defend it."
Wei Zheng waved his hand with a reassurance and said, "Don't worry at all about defending the position."
"If one hundred musketeers only have sui fire guns in their hands, they really cannot defend their positions, there is no doubt. But don't forget that in the one hundred musketeers, in addition to the new sui fire guns that have just been equipped with the brothers, there is also the secret weapon of grenades. There are hundreds of grenades in their hands, and there is absolutely no problem in defending the position in a short period of time."
"only……"
When Wang Feng had just breathed a sigh of relief, after hearing the last two words Wei Zheng said, his relaxed heart became nervous again."
He asked nervously at Wei Zheng, "Sir, what is it just?"
A trace of murderous aura flashed across Wei Zheng's face and replied to Wang Feng: "We all know one thing, that is, to raise the enemy's self-respect. I originally thought that I would not completely wipe out the seven thousand elite rebels in front of me, so that the rebels outside Datong Mansion could recover their vitality from this failure as soon as possible and form an attack on my Datong Mansion."
"Because, only in this way, the court that is constantly facing threats will keep our Tiger and Leopard Army guarding Datong Prefecture. After we have a long enough stationing in Datong Prefecture, we can build Datong Prefecture into the real rear base of our Tiger and Leopard Army, which is the base I often talk to you about."
"But the way the rebels fight in front of me changed this idea."
"Able to think of such a favorable defeat based on the battlefield, when the enemy is strong and we are weak, it is enough to be sure that the rebels are a rare general."
"If we put such a person back, the rebels will not only recover their vitality in a short period of time, but may even grow and grow."
"So, in order to create a form that is more conducive to our Tiger and Leopard Army, truly achieve the purpose of raising enemies and avoid the appearance of enemies around Datong Mansion that can pose a threat to us, we must take down the rebel general in front of us. If we cannot let him use it for my own use, then kill him. We must never let him become an enemy threatening our Tiger and Leopard Army in the future battlefield."
Speaking of this, Wei Zheng's face had unknowingly returned to seriousness. Under Wang Feng's gaze, he said, "Didn't Lao Zhao of the Cavalry Regiment keep yelling that the Cavalry Regiment will not fight? This time, Zhao Yun's opportunity has come."
"The commander Zhao, from now on, all the cavalry under the Tiger and Leopard Army will be handed over to him for command, and will quickly gather to prepare to participate in the attack on the rebels."
"After more than a thousand cavalry assembled, they immediately divided the cavalry into two, quickly reinforced the two wings of the battlefield, and launched a counterattack on the rebel attacking troops on both wings to destroy them."
"After the two cavalry complete their mission, continue to attack forward."
"In the next battle, the two cavalry must penetrate into the rear of the rebels like two sharp knives, surround the rebels, and block the road to withdraw from Datong Mansion. After the encirclement is formed, they will directly attack the rebels from behind the rebels. With the cooperation of the frontal musket regiment, all rebels will be wiped out."
"Tell Zhao Yun, for the chief general of the rebel army in front of me, I must see people in my life and corpse in my life, so I must not let him run away."
On the hills where the two wings of the position were completely covered by white smoke, although the sound of bean-like gunshots never stopped, the density of lead shots shot by one hundred flintlock rifles was limited after all.
Although the rebels attacking the hills were constantly shot and fell to the ground, the casualties did not block the rebels' offensive pace.
After losing hundreds of people in a row, the rebels finally pushed the front thirty steps ahead of the hill tiger and leopard army position.
Facing the rebels who were so close to each other, the sound of gunfire like a bean stopped under the gaze of the rebels' confusion.
"Is the Tiger and Leopard Army, who are defending the hill, afraid of close combat and has given up its position and fled..." This is the first idea of the rebels' attacking troops after the gunfire stopped.
So the remaining nine hundred rebels did not miss this opportunity.
Just like a wolf pack that has been hungry for a long time and found its prey, rushing towards the hills at its fastest speed.
Thirty steps, twenty steps...
Just when the rebels could see the hills through the thinner white smoke in the air, hundreds of black iron balls, with a slight whistling sound, suddenly flew away from the silent hill positions.
Under the complex eyes of confusion, shocked and worried, the black iron ball quickly crossed the twenty-step distance between the two armies, and fell between everyone like it was raining.
Just as everyone was at a loss when they were watching the iron balls under their feet, the iron balls suddenly exploded, and a ball of orange-red fireballs also rose into the air from the explosion point. Not only that, the hot air waves generated by the explosion of the iron balls also quickly spread around.
As hundreds of fireballs soared into the air among the dense rebels, the rebels closest to the grenades were like kites with broken strings, and were directly thrown high by the air waves.
The rebel soldiers who were a little further away rushed to the ground, driven by the air waves. Of course, the iron fragments of the grenades that burst out were also bursting.
So, the moment he fell to the ground, his whole body had been broken into a hornet's nest by flying grenades.
In just one round of grenades, more than two hundred rebels fell to the front of the position, either dead or injured.
Grenades are not lead bullets. They can not only use fragments to kill the enemy, but also directly tear the enemy into pieces through the huge air waves generated by the explosion.
Therefore, the battlefield baptized by the grenade rain in front of us not only left behind the bodies of rebels everywhere, but also the bloody limbs and broken arms everywhere. Yes, it was the smell of blood, mixed with the strong smell of gunpowder smoke.
Looking at the battlefield like hell in front of them, they were not attacked, but witnessed the huge power of the grenade and the follow-up rebels who witnessed the tragic scene of being torn to pieces by the grenade, they hesitated and subconsciously stopped their steps forward.
Although these people are soldiers, they still have very traditional ideas in their hearts. Even if they die in the battlefield, they will have to leave a complete body.
