Chapter 148: His Highness who does not want to be a spectator
There is no war without sacrifice, Zhao Xi knows this.
But when he saw that the left wing led by Sun Jie was blocked after breaking out time and time again, and the number of soldiers continued to decrease, Zhao Xi couldn't help it.
These are not the worms in the Imperial Forbidden Army, this is the Western Army, and every general is a treasure in Zhao Xi's eyes.
Look at these civil servants watching the battle...no one pays attention to themselves.
Zhao Xi suddenly held the guardrail with his hands and jumped down from the high platform...
"Your Highness..."
Yu Jing's voiceless shouting came from behind. He couldn't care less, Zhao Xi couldn't stand it anymore.
"The entire escort battalion is here! Attack!"
When Zhao Xi also yelled this out loud, he was on standby under the high platform... It was actually the guard camp protecting His Highness, and he stood at attention reflexively.
Zhao Xi didn't give them time to react, he just spread his legs and rushed forward, holding two military thorns in his hands...
Go ahead! Your Highness, are you going to make such a fuss?
There was no time to stop or dissuade him. The entire escort battalion, including the instructors, quickly charged forward one by one.
I have become accustomed to it. At the moment of charging, I should be faster and busier, and soon a sagittal shape is formed. And Zhao Xi has reached the center of the entire triangle.
"Your Highness, how could you be so reckless?"
While running, Mr. Lu never forgot to blame Zhao Xi. This was also the first time he spoke to Zhao Xi in this tone.
This is not a drill, this is not a joke. His Highness actually led his troops to join in the melee so hastily...
"Uncle Ji, you think it's not rash for me to stand on a high platform, right? But what is that? Are you looking at the fun? I, Zhao Xi, can't do it!"
Zhao Xi didn't care about any slang words when he was thinking like this.
As the coach, Di Qing paid attention to the battle situation all the time. He saw Sun Jie being passive, but he just felt that the opportunity to fight had not yet arrived...
This so-called fighter plane cannot be explained clearly. Each commander has his own ability to capture fighter planes. It cannot be expressed in words. It is just the experience gained after experiencing many battle formations.
If I can say that, it is that I feel that the opponent's limit is not yet reached, or that one attack is not effective yet.
However, Di Qing saw a group of green grass moving towards the melee from behind the base camp...it was the escort camp!
Looking at the high platform again, it was already in chaos.
His Highness jumped down, but other civil and military officials in the stands could not stay any longer.
In a hurry, they were pushing and shoving to find the steps and run down! If the only son of the official family and the sole heir of Datong was caught in the melee, even the husband in the court would not forgive them for continuing.
Look at the lively civil servants!
Your Highness? Your Highness is not on the high platform? The easily identifiable green grass cannot be seen from the rear now!
Di Qing knew that he was in big trouble! Once something happened to His Highness, even if he only scratched his skin, he would tie up Nong Zhigao's family and tie him up in the capital, but it would still be futile!
What are you waiting for? Without a trace of hesitation, Di Qing quickly gave the order and sounded the drums for the cavalry attack on both wings.
The high platform for watching the battle was only one mile away from the actual battlefield. Before long, the guard camp was about to get into the melee scene.
Suddenly, there was only one sound: Formation! Then the entire escort battalion deformed, or rather the grass-green marching group deformed.
At this time, we were only about twenty meters away from the battle group. There were probably soldiers from the Western Army on the left and right wings, and the front line penetrated the middle. As far as the eye could see, they were all soldiers dressed in black.
I saw the guard battalions lined up in five rows...
"Bang...bang...pah...pah..."
There were sounds like firecrackers and various howls.
This... what is this?
Yu Jing was old and had not yet reached the ground. He followed the sound and looked over...
Zhao Xi was already behind him at this time, and there were Lu Gongzhu, Han Zhen, Su Song and Wang Tao, four instructors, each with a troll, surrounding Zhao Xi tightly.
They were further away from the battle formation.
It's not that Zhao Xi doesn't want to relieve his itchy hands, it's because he was held back.
The guard camp can fight and teach, but the prince cannot.
Zhao Xi also knew it was impossible... just watch.
The escort battalion is now in a standard round-fire mode. When the formation is called, the first row quickly takes position without taking aim. Anyway, there are all soldiers in black clothes in front of them, so they directly pull the trigger.
After the first row fired, the second and third rows moved forward, and the second row continued to fire... In this way, they fired in a cycle, reloading in turn, and advanced step by step.
If not, Su Song was a talent. Not only did he make a flintlock gun, he even rationed the gunpowder and bullets.
After the first round of shooting, the soldiers in front of the guard camp collapsed...
It wasn't that they were scattered. Not many people were killed in this round of shooting, but it was so painful when those iron beads penetrated the human body. Those who were hit couldn't bear the pain, and they couldn't help but scream. What a shame...
What can mess up the morale of the military the most? This kind of heart-wrenching cry can most defeat a person's fighting spirit.
Killed to death with a knife, stabbed to death with a gun, before you have time to shout, people have already pounced on you. But here in the guard camp, most of them are still alive, just to make you howl...
At this time, the shocking sound of horse hooves also came from the hillsides on both sides...
The cavalry led by Di Qing and Yang Wenguang also quickly came from behind the Nong soldiers on both sides.
Confused! The whole army could use this word instead. They were all confused!
First there was a sound like firecrackers, then a howl that made people collapse, and then there was the sound of galloping cavalry and nearly a thousand horses.
Have you ever seen this battle?
There are many mountains in Guangnan, so cavalry is of little use, and large-scale use of cavalry is even rarer.
As for the kind of copper and iron pipe that can spray iron beads and cause unbearable pain, I have never known it...
At this time, the first reaction is to run away!
This is a battlefield with tens of thousands of people, although it is not crowded. But if you want to turn around and escape from the battlefield, how easy is it?
The front team moved back, while the rear team moved forward, some wanted to escape, and some were fighting with the Western Army. Then, the entire battlefield became chaotic.
The King's Division is not in trouble! The eye-catching uniforms of the guard camp and the familiar sound of the cavalry charging are all our own.
Even though we were already trapped in a tight siege, we knew victory was in sight at this time. We were still holding on to the idea of death, but we were already numbly fighting. At this time, our fighting spirit was rekindled again.
In this way, the entire battle situation changed drastically in an instant. The left and right armies and the central army, which had struggled to merge, broke through the obstruction of the Nong soldiers in a few strokes and quickly joined forces.
But the escort battalion continued to advance, choosing places with many soldiers and firing bursts...advancing, shooting again, and advancing again.
Then...then no more shooting was possible. The Nong soldiers fled and the Western troops killed each other, and it was so confusing that it was impossible to tell who was whose.
"Attack formation! Charge!"
I only heard another set of military orders, and the guard camp changed its formation again. At this time, it was the same formation as when Zhao Xi jumped off the high platform and led the charge... It was also at this time that people discovered that the copper pipe of the guard camp was not only It can spray beads. The black bayonet on the top, coupled with the four-foot-long pipe at the back... this is a long gun.
What's even more surprising is that when the commander with the sharp-pointed tip waved the copper pipe, the effect of the tail of the copper pipe hitting the soldiers was equivalent to that of a flail.
