The first thousand five hundred and eighty-seventh chapter artillery is great
"Wait a little longer." Jia Liu stared at the distance with a monocular lens in his hand.
Although the cavalry did not dispatch, the artillery team and the two combat barracks had already begun to fight with the official army.
Although the official army has many soldiers, they are unable to resist when facing artillery attacks, so they can only rush forward with luck. The person who was hit by the artillery considers himself unlucky.
As time went by, more and more soldiers in the military camp died under artillery attack, and the soldiers in the front slowed down.
Hundreds of cannons will take dozens or hundreds of lives every time they are fired.
The more people there are, the more casualties there are after being bombarded.
These ordinary battalions in the official army are far inferior to those of the cavalry. They are on the verge of collapse after only two rounds of artillery attacks, and are about to appear in a defeat.
Fortunately, there were still many low-level officers and the first battalion commander among these battalions. Under the suppression of these people, an impending defeat was barely stopped, forcing the battalion soldiers to continue to rush forward, one step closer to the Tiger Flag Cannon Array.
"I want to see how long you can hold on. If you pass the order, all the cannons will be replaced with shotguns and will be fired when they are close." Wu Qiao, the commander of the artillery team, shouted loudly.
The sound of cannons continued, and there were chaotic sounds on the battlefield. He had to give orders to the messenger by shouting loudly.
As the messenger left, the sound of cannons gradually became smaller.
Without the threat of cannons, the soldiers of the military camp who were almost about to collapse once again burst out with courage and rushed towards the tiger flag-shaped cannon formation with fear.
In the back of the official army, Xie Shigong smiled on his face, and he thought he had bet right.
Based on his understanding of these bandits, the sound of artillery stopped not because the bandits took the initiative to stop the artillery, but because there was a problem with the cannon. Otherwise, the bandits would only continue to fire when the cannons had the advantage.
Although it was a bit strange that so many cannons had problems at once, it was not surprising that the bandits were not very familiar with cannons before. It would be less strange that they could completely explode and paralyze the cannons if they were put on too much gunpowder once or twice.
Deputy General Li, who was following aside, was stunned and vaguely felt something was wrong.
Unlike Duke Jie Jie, he had fought with the bandits in Datong City. At that time, the bandits used more cannons and lasted longer, rather than suddenly coming to an abrupt end like now.
He believed that there must be some conspiracy to do this.
Thinking of this, he turned his head and looked at Xie Shigong.
When he saw the expression of winning on Xie Shigong's face, he swallowed the words he was about to say.
Xie Shigong expressed dissatisfaction with him several times. He was worried that he would say something that made the other party unhappy at this time, and he would probably get only the other party's anger.
"Did you see it? Even the bandits can't use any artillery well. The next time is the moment of victory for the army." Xie Shigong raised his hand and pointed to the battlefield ahead and showed off to Deputy General Li next to him.
Deputy General Li laughed twice awkwardly.
After all, I still didn't express my worries.
Because he knew that no matter what he said, he would inevitably end up losing the battle, unless there was a problem with the cannons of the rioters, but the possibility was too low.
"I will not only destroy these rioters in front of me, but also use their cannons to recover Datong City and completely wipe out all the rioters in Datong." Xie Shigong said excitedly.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Shortly after the words fell, the sound of cannons rang out again.
Xie Shigong's face suddenly changed when he heard the sound of cannons. He realized that it was not good and hurriedly looked in the direction in front of the formation.
Wherever he saw, the battalions he sent were cut down like wheat. After only a while, the official military camp soldiers in front retreated like a tide.
"Defeated, defeated!"
Xie Shigong was not a military general who knew nothing. The situation in front of him had already made him understand that the army had failed several times and could no longer stop the defeat.
There were more and more soldiers coming back from the battlefield. At the beginning, there were the main generals who brought their personal soldiers to stop them. There were too many defeated soldiers behind them and could no longer stop them. They were even carried into it and rolled back towards their own army.
"General, go quickly! The young men will protect you and leave." A personal soldier persuaded Xie Shigong to leave.
Xie Shigong was not the kind of foolish and loyal person. When he saw that he was not allowed to do anything, he immediately said, "Let's go."
It was at this time that he realized that Deputy General Li, who was originally following, had long disappeared.
However, at this moment, he ignored others and, under the escort of a group of personal soldiers, left the army and fled towards Yingzhou.
However, as soon as he left, the commander of the central army fell down at some point, so that the generals in the distance thought that something had happened to the commander, and the entire army was immediately in chaos.
Without the commander's army, they each fled their lives.
Countless battalions of soldiers spread their legs and squeezed around in the crowd, desperately trying to escape from the battlefield. The leaders and generals of each battalion, under the protection of their own soldiers, rode horses in front.
There were also some generals who could not run around because they were surrounded by defeated soldiers and could not run at all. They could only barely move forward with difficulty if they could drive away and chop and kill the soldiers in front of them.
The army of more than 20,000 people was defeated, and there were no rules for escaping from all kinds of lives. Any gap between people would be squeezed by the people next to them. Many people never stood up after falling to the ground.
"Send the order to move the cavalry battalion." Before Jia Liu could put down the monocular lens in front of him, he issued an order to move the cavalry battalion.
"The government army is becoming more and more useless. I feel that it is not as good as the government army that came to Lingqiu to fight us back then." Feng Wencai next to him said with a smile.
At this time of the battle, the government army had no chance to turn the tables.
The army was so devastated that even their army with the tiger flag could not stop it from failing. They could only wait until they escaped from the battlefield before they had the chance to reorganize the army.
However, they will not give the official army any chance to reorganize the army. Tan Zaiwang's cavalry battalion will be the last possibility of killing the official army.
Rumble!
Thousands of cavalry rushed from one side to the defeated official army.
The deafening sound of horse hooves is like the thunder on a sunny day.
For Tan Zaiwang and his cavalry battalion, they just needed to drive away these defeated official soldiers like they drove away cattle and sheep.
"Order the First Battle Barracks and the Second Battle Barracks to pursue them." Jia Liu issued another order.
The messenger ran to pass the command.
Soon, two war barracks walked out from behind the artillery array and began to chase the defeated soldiers in front of them.
Jia Liu let out a long sigh, a relaxed expression appeared on his face, and he smiled and said, "This battle is easier than I thought."
This was the first time he was commanding such a large-scale battle. Before the battle began, he was already under heavy pressure. It was not until the battle was won that he really easily attacked.
"If the boss had not supported the development of firearms over the years, we would not have fought so easily in this battle. Now, thinking about the scene of hundreds of cannons bombing together, I would still be excited." Feng Wencai said with a smile.
