In the Battle of Wu Xuetang, those who attacked the fortress were infantry soldiers and horses. It was impossible for the cavalry to attack the city in such terrain. Therefore, most of the guards, cavalry soldiers, and horses were patrolling on the outer streets. They did not witness the siege.
It was tragic. The generals and officers who had witnessed that battle deliberately concealed the matter because they were unwilling to increase others' prestige and destroy their own ambition. If you brag to your opponent, it will affect your own morale.
It has an impact. This is actually normal in the army. Before a battle, it is impossible to tell the soldiers how powerful and ferocious the opponent is. Moreover, these generals and officers also despise the soldiers and horses of the Infantry Guard Division from the bottom of their hearts. They
He believed that those in the Infantry Division were just a mob, and that the opponent's strength was the result of the weakness of the Infantry Division. There was nothing worth learning from this battle. If it had been his own troops, they would have been overwhelming, and it would have been impossible to defeat them.
The beating was so brutal.
Therefore, based on these thoughts, when chasing Lin Jue and others, most of the generals and soldiers in the chasing army thought that this was an opportunity to make meritorious deeds. They were not afraid of the mere few hundred people under Lin Jue's command.
Feeling. They always faced the warnings of some people in the army with ridicule and sarcasm. Of course, they were not mentally prepared for failure. When they suffered successive defeats before, they generally believed that it was not the opponent's soldiers and horses who had any problem.
How powerful, but the opponent's trick succeeded. This time in the head-to-head battle, many people had the idea of avenging their past humiliation, and under the strict orders and heavy rewards, they all worked bravely, everyone competed for the first place, regardless of everything.
But at this moment, they finally realized how ridiculous their thoughts were. Looking at the blood and flesh flying everywhere on the battlefield, the fallen soldiers and horses like cutting leeks, the roaring firearms and the splashing flesh and blood, this chaos was like hell.
The scene left them stunned.
"Commander Zhao... this... I'm afraid it won't work. The opponent's weapons are so ferocious, I would like to suggest..." a general whispered.
"How dare you! I will chop off the head of anyone who dares to retreat. Come to me!" Zhao Degang's eyes turned red and he shouted sternly. At the same time, he rode his horse himself, advancing instead of retreating, and rushed towards the battlefield.
The cavalrymen lingered with their mouths open. The hot air and the sight of blood and flesh almost suffocated them. Only their own heavy breathing could be heard in their ears, and their minds were numb. The general took the lead in the charge, letting those who were born with their own hearts in mind.
Those who wanted to retreat were desperate. They knew there was no possibility of retreat, so they had no choice but to grit their teeth and continue to charge.
One after another, the cavalry rushed forward numbly. What greeted them was not a hymn to the brave heroes who were not afraid of death. There were no flowers or applause, only ruthless shotguns and bloody smoke.
Zhao Degang, whose eyes were red, had lost his mind. Under his strict orders, the cavalrymen died one after another. In the end, the corpses piled up in front of the formation were like a hill, and even the horses could not rush over. Zhao Degang was still shouting.
Attacking, they found that there was no one around them. Except for the three hundred horsemen of their own bodyguards, the rest were struggling and groaning in the sea of blood and corpses in front.
In the opposite formation, Lin Jue was sitting on his horse with a resolute look on his face, and there was even a hint of cruelty in his mouth. He didn't want to kill so many people, but the opponent's charge without fear of death would never let them succeed. If he rushed closer, he would
one game
There was a melee, so the corpses on the scene were myself and my brothers.
The firearm has been cooled down several times. Before the battle, Lin Jue asked everyone to prepare a small bucket of water. Once the firearm was hot, he would immediately pour water on the barrel to cool down to ensure that it could be fired continuously. Even so, there was still a fundamental problem with the firearm.
Unable to withstand such continuous shooting, the barrel of the gun burst under the stimulation of high temperature and water cooling. This happened four times, injuring more than a dozen brothers around him. But this was no longer relevant to the entire war.
Thousands of the opponent's men have fallen in front, and the bodies of the piled-up men and horses are already more than half a man tall, so that when the opponent's cavalry charges, it feels like they are climbing over a hill. Climb up the mountain of corpses, and you will become a member of the sea of blood.
.Obviously, the opponent is no longer able to charge forward.
Zhao Degang stared blankly at the piled corpses and wounded soldiers and horses in front of him. Most of the soldiers were not fatal if hit by iron bullets, but they were trapped among the corpses, and some were crushed to death.
It was impossible to climb out. This area, which was about thirty paces wide and thirty paces long, was just a mass of bloody flesh.
"Xiang Lu sent an order that Commander Zhao no longer needs to attack and should retreat immediately. Prime Minister Lu said that Commander Zhao should find a way to attack. Commander Zhao can no longer risk the lives of his soldiers." A guard came flying over and ordered loudly.
Zhao Degang murmured: "Is this a defeat? How many of my four thousand cavalry are left? Is it less than a thousand? In such a short period of less than half an hour? I have so many soldiers and horses that I can't get close to the opponent.
In front of hundreds of people? Not even a single opponent was killed?"
"Commander Zhao, victory or defeat is a common matter for military officers. The weapons are so ferocious that Prime Minister Lu did not expect it. It is better to retreat," the guard said.
"No! I, Zhao Degang, have been through a lot until today. I can't believe the facts in front of me. There are only a few hundred people, and I have failed completely. What kind of face does this give me to stand on, and what kind of face do I have to stand up with the imperial court?
Privy Minister Yang told me: I am not willing to give up and continue the attack. Where are the rest of the cavalry? We still have more than 10,000 cavalry. Send me an order to let them enter the town immediately and launch a charge. Kill all those bastards." Zhao Degang shouted loudly.
Everyone around him looked at him as if he were an idiot. He was afraid that he was crazy, so he still wanted to attack? He wanted others to die. Isn't this crazy?
"You attack with me, and I will take the lead." Zhao Degang ordered loudly.
The guards and some of the cavalry around them looked at each other and no one spoke. Zhao Degang yelled: "What? You dare to disobey me?"
A lieutenant general said in a deep voice: "Prime Minister Lu ordered the evacuation. Commander Zhao, please do not disobey Prime Minister Lu's order. Those of lower rank cannot attack, otherwise you will be disobeying Prime Minister Lu's order. Commander Zhao, please calm down."
"Bastard, bastard. You are all afraid of death, but I am not. Okay, don't you dare, I will charge alone."
As he spoke, Zhao Degang urged his horse, raised his long knife, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Kill!"
Then he really galloped forward. His horse's hoofs stepped on the blood gurgling on the ground, stepped on the flesh like minced meat, and stepped on the head of a soldier who was not dead on the corpse slope.
He groaned and died immediately, and then Zhao Degang
Rushed to the top of the mountain of corpses.
"Boom!" After an explosion, Zhao Degang's chest was full of blood holes, and the head and face of the war horse were hit by more than a dozen iron bullets. One man and one horse shook for a moment, and then fell down suddenly. The war horse whined and rolled down, Zhao Degang's
His feet were hooked on the stirrups and dragged down. He tried hard to break free, but his whole body was weak. His chest and lungs had been pierced, and it was already difficult to survive. At the last moment, he personally experienced the power of a firearm.
I understood how powerful this thing was, but it was too late.
Lu Zhongtian was stamping his feet and cursing from behind, but there was nothing he could do about it. Zhao Degang had a very stubborn temper, and he actually rushed forward alone like this. How is this different from dying? But if you think about it, you can understand his mood.
Think about how Zhao Degang, as the deputy commander of the Ma Army Guards, has a first-class status among the troops of the Zhou Dynasty. How arrogant and arrogant Zhao Degang is on weekdays. Today, he suffered a series of setbacks. Tens of thousands of cavalrymen were unable to do anything to the hundreds of opponents.
The enemy was already disgraced. This final head-on confrontation made all Zhao Degang's pride and conceit turn into guilt and shamelessness.
This defeat will become a stain in his life that will never be erased. So how can he be willing to do so? Under such circumstances, he naturally wants to save face with all his strength, or in other words, this act of risking death is also his last pride. He
In this way, he fulfilled his glorious military career and chose death rather than retreat. To a certain extent, this is also Zhao Degang's bloody nature and one of the reasons why he is at the top of the military.
Lu Zhongtian had no time to think about it, so he immediately shouted gold three times and ordered the troops to withdraw. He also understood that attacking in this way would obviously not be able to shake the opponent. The power of the opponent's firearms was frightening, and this method must not be used.
To attack. To have a head-on confrontation with them on such a narrow long street is actually to be fooled by the opponent. Lin Jue is very thoughtful, and this is actually the third trap after tripping Masuo and Fire Attack. However,
This third trap looks like an opportunity to be exploited, but it is actually more insidious and vicious than the first two tricks. Lin Jue must know very well that he will never lose this kind of head-on battle on the long street. That's why he took the initiative
This strategy of head-on confrontation was proposed, which seemed to be an opportunity and even a bit stupid.
At this point, Lu Zhongtian no longer dared to be careless. He found that it seemed that Lin Jue could not be shaken by his own ability and the tens of thousands of troops under his command. So he made up his mind to rush back to the capital and ask Guo Xu to leave.
Purpose, mobilize more soldiers, horses and good generals to encircle and suppress Lin Jue and others, instead of holding on here by yourself. If this continues, the responsibility for this failure will have to be borne by myself.
When Lin Jue and others rode away, Lu Zhongtian had no chance to send cavalry to pursue him. Instead, he ordered the battlefield to be swept and camped on the spot. At the same time, he sent a messenger to rush to convey his order. He wanted to mobilize Ruzhou Caizhou Tang
Soldiers from Dengzhou and other places gathered for encirclement and suppression, and wanted to use their absolute strength to surround and kill Lin Jue and others. After that, he wanted to return to the capital immediately. This time he wanted Yang Jun to personally go out and lead troops to reinforce
To encircle and suppress Lin Jue and others, it would be better to let Yang Jun take care of things like fighting. I had thought about things too easily before, but I didn't expect that Lin Jue would be so difficult to deal with. This was my own negligence. This tough piece of flesh made him
