Chapter 726: Surprise in Despair
The tiger and leopard army, which had lost the barrier of the sword, shield and hand, rushed directly to the battlefield...
While continuing to attack forward, he threw grenades...
On a dark battlefield, the flowering bullets that kept falling from the sky and harvesting life had made the Ganning New Army full of fear. The whole person was on the verge of collapse...
In this case, the attack from the frontal Tiger and Leopard Army had no intention of overwhelming their last straw.
Seeing the battlefield like a divine weapon descending from the sky, the tiger and leopard army constantly attacking him, the Ganning New Army, which was in chaos on the battlefield, collapsed directly...
Under the faint firelight generated by the explosion of flowering bullets and grenades, retreated desperately...
There were too many new Ganning troops entering the fort, with a total force of more than 5,000.
The soldiers who participated in the night attack and counterattack of the Tiger and Leopard Army had only less than 500 people.
Although the sudden fierce attack caused many Ganning New Army to collapse instantly, they left a large number of corpses and fled from the fort with panic.
However, there are still some new Ganning Army, facing the grenades that are constantly falling above their heads, with increasingly heavy casualties, and using grenades to counterattack...
Soon, dozens of tiger and leopard troops scattered around them suffered heavy losses under the attack of grenades.
Under such circumstances, the Ganning New Army, which suffered huge losses, would certainly not miss this opportunity to revenge.
The sword and shield hands with red eyes seemed to eat chicken blood, and they had to fight back if they were desperate...
What's more, some smart new Ganning Army officers directly commanded their subordinates who had suffered heavy losses and launched a counterattack towards the artillery positions of the Tiger and Leopard Army in the direction of the sound of artillery...
Therefore, under the cover of night, the battle in the castle was directly in chaos...
Most of the Ganning New Army retreated out desperately under the crazy pursuit of a small number of tiger and leopard troops behind them.
A small number of the Ganning New Army fought with the surrounding tiger and leopard army with grenades.
There is also a sword and shield hand with a number of more than 300 people, just like a sharp sword unraveling, inserted into the Tiger and Leopard Army artillery position regardless of everything...
After all, the earthen castle is just a earthen castle, and no matter how large it is, it is not as big as a county town.
The roaring explosion did not last long. The Ganning New Army, who was fleeing for life, remained under the pursuit of the Tiger and Leopard Army and escaped from the fort.
After the new Ganning army, who was indistinguishable from the tiger and leopard army, destroyed the tiger and leopard army that had attacked them at a heavy price. Faced with the battlefield where murderous intent was hidden everywhere around, they did not hesitate at all, and they took the seizure and withdrew from the fort with great decisiveness.
As for the three hundred sword shields who were killing the Tiger and Leopard Army artillery positions, they also successfully reached the Tiger and Leopard Army artillery positions that were holding dozens of mortars and constantly roaring.
Ganning's new sabre and shield hands are not only equipped with grenades, but also holding a big knife in one hand. The gunners who stayed in the artillery positions, because they were fighting, do not even have the minimum self-protection weapon except for the flowering bullets that they could get.
Such a comparison of equipment and military strength can be imagined...
Except for more than fifty gunners, because of their fast reaction, they dropped the mortars and evacuated the artillery positions.
The remaining artillery soldiers, without exception, were all cut into corpses by swords, shields and hands.
After the battle, I looked at the mortar that caused heavy casualties to the soldiers under my command on the battlefield.
The face of the Sandian Shield Hand showed a hot expression from the bottom of his heart. Especially the Qian Zheng, who commanded the sword and shield, looked at the mortar. It was as if he saw a pile of gold ingots, and he couldn't help but his eyes shining.
Then, he shouted at his subordinate who was still in a daze, "Why are you still stunned? Immediately move these cannons out of the earthen castle. From now on, these cannons belong to our Ganning New Army..."
"There are also these flowering bullets, all of them will be moved away for me... I must withdraw the fort before the reinforcements of the Tiger and Leopard Army arrive..."
Outside the earthen castle, Zhang Zhongming, the Governor of Ganning, who was resting, was directly awakened by the explosion from the castle.
When he hurried out of the military camp with anxiety and worry on his face and looked at the earthen castle with a constant sound of cannons, he happened to witness the scene of the soldiers under his command being driven out of the earthen castle by the tiger and leopard army with a look of embarrassing face...
Faced with this situation, Zhang Zhongming's first reaction was that the reinforcements of the Tiger and Leopard Army had arrived.
Otherwise, with the remaining soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Army, which were only five or six hundred people left in the city, there would be no possibility of counterattacking them.
However, when he learned that there was no reinforcement force in the city, the complex face was replaced by shock and anger.
Shocked by the courage of the remnants of the Tiger and Leopard Army, and angry at the incompetence of thousands of sword and shield hands...
Thousands of troops were actually defeated by hundreds of enemies. This is not incompetence.
At this moment, Zhang Zhongming had only one idea in his mind, that is, kill people... and kill the officers in the hands of thousands of swords and shields.
Otherwise, the surging anger that had just surged in my heart would be unable to vent...
Especially when he saw that the five thousand sword shield hands that had been killed in the castle successfully rushed out, the impulse of killing became even greater...
After a pair of murderous eyes glanced back and forth over Qian Zong several times, he subconsciously issued a beheading order.
And at this critical moment, a commotion suddenly rang in the direction of the earthen castle.
Then, hundreds of sword shield hands appeared in front of Zhang Zhongming.
Compared with the defeated soldiers in front of them who looked panic and embarrassed, and even lost their weapons, the sword and shield hands of these hundreds of people not only did not lose their weapons, but each soldier was carrying something more or less on his shoulders!
No need to guess until the things carried on your shoulders must have been seized by these soldiers in the castle.
Thinking of this, Zhang Zhongming's solemn and murderous face showed a smile of relief from the bottom of his heart.
Because not all the soldiers under their command are incompetent, and some people have not disappointed themselves...
Sure enough, just as Zhang Zhongming was stunned, a Qianmao rushed over with excitement on his face and shouted: "Sir, the generals led people into the Tiger and Leopard Army artillery position, killed hundreds of their gunners, and snatched all their artillery and flowering bullets..."
"Architecture, what they carried out the castle was actually the artillery they thought about day and night." Faced with this result that he didn't dare to imagine, Zhang Zhongming's face immediately turned into excitement...
"Okay! OK! OK!" After shouting three times in a row, he said with excitement...
"You fight very well... I remember you. After I go back, I will reward you highly... and your brothers, and I will also reward them again... I have been hearing bad news for a day... Now, I finally hear a good news..."
