Seeing the advancing Tiger Ben division, Luo Rucai turned to "Shoot the Sky" Li Wanqing and "Guo Tianxing" Zhang Tianlin and asked: "With so few officers and men, how can we fight?"
Zhang Tianlin said loudly: "The old method is to use infantry to stick to him first, and then let the horse army rush from both wings. This will definitely defeat the official army."
Li Wanqing said: "Okay, let's kill the officers and soldiers like this! If the cavalry army can't defeat him, let Xiaoqi ride up and charge him!"
Luo Rucai nodded and said, "Let's fight like this!"
The three leaders agreed on the tactics and asked the messengers to pass down the military orders. Not long after, the 16,000 rogue infantrymen quickly ran out of the queue and pressed towards Li Zhi's 8,000 Tiger Infantry Division. More than 10,000 people held the handheld troops.
Swords, bows and arrows were distributed in the three-mile-wide valley, leaving a cloud of billowing smoke and dust, coming menacingly.
Five hundred steps behind the infantry, 7,500 thieves and horsemen followed the infantry and slowly marched out of the center. They were ready to outflank both sides of the Huben Division after the infantry engaged.
Seeing that there were few officers and soldiers, the bandits were confident that they could win, but they had no idea what kind of enemy they were facing.
The two armies moved closer little by little, and at a distance of one mile, Li Zhi's eighty field guns opened fire.
Smoke spewed out from the artillery position, and the artillery made a deafening "boom" sound. Eighty solid iron balls broke through the air at a speed invisible to the naked eye and flew towards the bandit infantry one mile away.
Eighty five-pound solid iron balls were like eighty death's scythes, slamming into the ranks of infantry. Suddenly, screams rang out from the ranks of thieves.
A rogue infantryman was hit on the shoulder by a cannonball, and his entire left shoulder was immediately smashed into a ball of bloody mud and broken bones. The blood in his arteries spurted out like flowers, covering several infantrymen next to him.
This infantryman was originally an ordinary farmer in Mizhi County. He lost his harvest and food and clothing due to drought, so he joined the thieves and started rebellion. After two years as a thieves, he was promoted from a hungry soldier to an infantryman, and he was able to follow the army after the city was conquered.
They were plundered. Although he followed Luo Rucai and wandered around, he was able to eat enough. He never thought that he would be beaten to death by the army in Anqing. If he had known so, he should have quit the group early and returned to the rice farming land.
He screamed and fell to the ground, his left shoulder to left chest a bloody mess. It seemed that he could not be saved.
The cannonball knocked out the first infantryman, and then hit the stomach of the second infantryman behind him. It directly penetrated the infantryman's abdomen and came out of his back.
This corps commander was originally a bandit from Ozhou. He had a falling out with his companions because of the uneven distribution of the spoils, so he joined Zhang Tianlin's bandit army. He was appointed as the infantry corps commander at the beginning of this year. Unexpectedly, he was appointed as the infantry corps commander within a few days.
On a day when wine and meat were available, he was shot to death by the cannon of the army in Anqing Mansion.
The captain's body was pushed back by the shell, and he lay on the ground. Blood splashed around him like water. He opened his eyes wide and looked at the blood hole in his stomach, and then he no longer breathed.
The cannonball landed on the muddy ground, bounced forward, and hit the third infantryman's thigh. The third infantryman's leg was broken off by the cannonball without any suspense, and a bloody splatter appeared on his whole body.
I had to throw it back and threw it a foot away before falling to the ground.
Blood was like water, flowing out from the broken thigh in a steady stream. There was no doctor in the bandit's team, so the wounded soldier bled too much and could not be saved.
The cannonball bounced on the ground and finally hit the chest of the fourth infantryman. The four ribs on the chest of the fourth infantryman were all shattered by the cannonball. The broken bones penetrated into the heart and broke open the chest.
The infantry's most vulnerable organ. The infantry spit out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground, turning into a corpse. When he fell, the shell was still embedded in his sunken chest and never fell off.
In one salvo, eighty artillery pieces killed more than 300 infantrymen of the bandits, causing panic among the bandits' ranks. Never had the bandits seen such ferocious firepower before, and there was a sudden commotion.
The leading infantry leaders stood up, yelled at the restless infantry, and stabilized their position. The 16,000 infantrymen accelerated their march amidst the shouts and curses, and rushed towards the officers and soldiers in front.
go.
If you rush forward, the artillery will be useless if you get in front of the army formation!
However, after walking a hundred steps, the gunfire from the army sounded again.
Another eighty rounds of artillery shells passed by and smashed into the 16,000-strong bandit infantry group. The infantrymen had been blown up by this artillery once, and they knew how powerful it was, so they scattered as soon as they heard the sound of firing.
He evaded and ran away with his head in his hands, leaving the whole team in a mess.
However, no matter how they fled, they were still crowded in the team, which could not reduce the lethality of the shells at all.
An infantryman was hit in the head by a cannonball, and his whole head was immediately shattered by the cannonball. The whole person immediately turned into a headless corpse and fell on the red soil of Anqing Mansion.
The blood spurted out from his neck was like a fountain, splashing all over the nearby infantrymen. The blood scared the nearby infantrymen and screamed, thinking that they were injured and bleeding.
The cannonball bounced on the ground, continued to hit back, and hit the right hand of an infantryman behind. The infantryman's arm was immediately broken by the cannonball. He screamed and covered the wound with his hand to stop the bleeding. He screamed miserably.
While pushing away the surrounding infantry, he picked up his own severed limb and placed it against the broken part of his right hand, imagining that the severed limb could be reattached.
The shell continued to hit back and hit the left side of the infantryman's left abdomen behind him. A blood hole was immediately knocked out of the infantry's left abdomen, and blood spurted out. The infantryman fell to the ground weakly.
He died instantly.
The cannonball bounced on the ground again, then hit the abdomen of an infantryman. The infantryman's intestines were immediately torn apart by the cannonball. He looked at the officer's artillery shell stuck in his stomach in disbelief.
He spit out a mouthful of blood and fell on the ground in the valley.
Eighty rounds of artillery shells drew eighty straight lines of death among the rogue infantry, and the lives of more than three hundred rogue soldiers were lost.
After being bombarded by artillery for two rounds, the rogue infantry had been blown into chaos. The infantry leaders leading the group shouted loudly, and used curses, fists and kicks to encourage the infantry around them to take courage, stand up, and continue charging.
Formation. Amidst the shouts of these leaders, the infantry reorganized their formation and rushed toward the heavy-fire officer army in front of them.
The infantry walked another hundred steps, and the infantry forward rushed to a place two hundred meters away from the official army, and the official army's cannon opened fire again.
This time, the official artillery fired "shotguns", which are also known as "scatter cannons" as the saying goes. Eight thousand "scatters" shot out, turning the front of the infantry team into a hell. Those
No matter where the shot hits the body, it will immediately cause the person who was hit to be bloody and bloody, and lose the ability to fight.
A foot soldier was hit in the stomach by a shotgun. The shot pierced his stomach alive, shattered the intestines in his stomach, and then tore through the muscle and skin on his back and flew out. The foot soldier screamed and only
He felt cold in his stomach, and saw blood flowing out of the front and back holes like water. Severe pain hit him, and he quickly fell to the ground.
The "Sanzi" pierced his stomach without losing its force, and then stabbed into the thigh of the next infantryman, breaking the thigh of the second infantryman.
An infantry captain wearing paneled iron armor was hit by a shotgun pellet. His armor could not protect him from the shotgun pellets. The pellet pierced his right chest and exited his right back.
, smashing his lungs into pulp. The captain only let out a cry and fell to the ground.
This school captain was the leader of hundreds of infantrymen. He was originally an officer guarding the city. He joined Li Wanqing's team to shoot the sky after Han0 Mountain was captured by bandits. When he was an officer and soldier, he suffered all the hardships of a poor soldier.
It was bitter, but after joining the bandit camp, he felt that the sky was brighter. Because he took the lead in fighting, he usually had great authority in the bandit camp. How could he have expected that he would meet such a powerful army in An0qing? He had not yet touched the power of the army.
Bian was killed by a shotgun.
The bullet pierced the captain, then continued to pierce back, and then pierced the chest of an infantryman behind him, smashing the stomach and heart of that infantryman.
After a round of shotgun fire, more than 700 thieves and infantry fell into a pool of blood.
Before the rebel soldiers could get close to the official army, one thousand four hundred infantrymen were killed by the official army's artillery. Where did this official army come from, and how could the firepower be so fierce? The morale of the rebel soldiers and infantry was greatly dampened, and they were unable to rush into the formation.
They all shrank a little.
However, the Tiger Ben division's firepower has only been displayed a little bit. (.)
