Chapter 2043: The robes are all here, and there will be no retreat
The shouts of the Zhou people became louder and louder, and the originally neat formation began to become disorganized. However, everyone was rushing forward desperately. Looking around, it was filled with people, and the Han army's line of defense
Like a fragile layer of paper.
The sound of muskets was heard one after another, and people from the Zhou Dynasty were constantly shot and fell, but the wave of forward charging did not seem to be stopped by this.
Lu Qing tightened his grip on the musket in his hand. He saw a look of fear on the faces of the Han soldiers around him.
This crazy and ferocious attack is like a pack of wolves on the grassland, regardless of the cost, not afraid of any death or injury, and even its purpose is to die together with the enemy!
Anyone who wants to live, even a soldier who is ready to sacrifice at any time, will feel powerless when facing such a scene.
They are not afraid of sacrifice, but they don't want to be swallowed up by this surging crowd and have no power to fight back. If they die in battle, at least let us die in a majestic way!
"Take out all the thunderbolts!" Lu Qing's voice was hoarse.
The hoarse voice actually represented his physical strength at this time. After the chaotic battle just now, the Han army soldiers were actually exhausted, and the enemy they faced had been recharging their strength, waiting for this counterattack.
opportunity.
A new batch of soldiers from the south bank have already boarded the ship one after another, and the warship is quickly approaching the north bank.
In other words, as long as we can hold on for a moment, reinforcements will arrive, but if it collapses within this moment, the huge sacrifices just made will be in vain.
For a moment, it seems simple, but the opponent has tens of thousands of people, and Lu Qing is only surrounded by two thousand soldiers. The opponent has armored cavalry and heavy armor, as well as a large number of archers. Of course, Lu Qing also has musketeers and
Mo Daoshou, but there is no way to compare with others in terms of quantity.
Although the artillery was still roaring, the navy's artillery also joined the blocking queue. Then the opponent's number was too many and they came too fast. The artillery shells exploded in the crowd, although they could kill them all at once.
Five, six or even a dozen enemies were killed or blown away, but after all, the Northern Zhou army had a large number of people, so this damage was more of a psychological oppression for them, rather than an actual loss.
But it is obvious that the only thing left in the eyes of Zhou soldiers is the nearby barrier, so they don't want to care at all, and they don't care how many brothers fall around them. All they can think about is to do everything possible to rush forward and try their best.
Maybe break through the Han army's defense line and drive all these damn Nanbarbarians into the water!
"Crazy, all crazy!" A captain of the Yingyang Army couldn't help but muttered.
The Yingyang Army and the Tiger Wing Army, as two troops cooperating with the Imperial Guards' offensive, each had 500 people in the first group to cross the Baigou. Their losses in the previous battles were also not small. At this time, they had already
Due to the chaos of the battle, it was impossible to distinguish the organization, and generals at all levels could only grab the available troops nearby to organize defense.
Naturally, one by one can land on the beach. Even if these grassroots generals have not gone to Chang'an Military Academy or even Jinling Military Academy for further training, they have also learned a lot of experience in the exercises over the years. At this time, time is life, and in the end
Naturally, the taboo is to look for your own team in a mess on the river beach. You can command as many people as you can. Without the captain, the commander has the right to command the battle. Without the commander, the general will command to continue the attack, for strategic purposes and even battles.
The goals have been clear for a long time, and there is no need for the general to issue orders one after another!
Now the captain has also lost contact with the commander in charge of him, and there are only about a hundred soldiers left around him, so he is naturally a little panicked.
Several generals also looked over, but not a single battle leader. These generals were all present in each army, so naturally they all obeyed the direct command of Captain Yu at this time.
The advantages of the unique training method of the Imperial Guards of the Han Dynasty are naturally reflected at this time. The low-level officers of any strong army will not be convinced by the leadership of the middle-level officers of other armies. We are the elite. Why do you bastards run away?
Are you pointing fingers at us?
But the Imperial Guard is different. The Imperial Guard is not fixed to begin with. Instead, it is formed by selecting elite veterans from each army. In other words, soldiers with outstanding training in all battles are given to defend the emperor and bring glory to the family.
Chance.
Therefore, despite the fact that the Imperial Guard is known as the elite, who has not been a Imperial Guard yet?
For example, this captain's cuffs are embroidered with an iron-gray coiled dragon. The three-clawed coiled dragon shows that the captain once served in the Imperial Guard and achieved third-class military exploits. Counting these Imperial Guards who don't even have medals now
The captain is still his junior. If the captain really showed off his matching medal, he would be envious of these guys.
So everyone was waiting for the captain to give the order.
"We can't retreat!" the captain said decisively, "We didn't hear Ming Jin's signal to retreat, and General Pinglu (Lu Qing) didn't retreat either. Even if we die, we will die here!"
"Boom!" came the roar of artillery.
Everyone was shocked.
"Colonel, the last shot!" the gunner shouted.
Of course, the meaning of this last shot is not that there are no more shells, but that the enemy is close at hand and the gunners cannot bayonet the cannon.
The captain drew out his horizontal sword and said: "Big men, look around you. The red flag has not moved, and the robes are all there. We will not retreat even if we die!"
"Even if we die, we will not retreat!" the Han soldiers shouted in unison.
The next moment, Zhou people had already rushed to the gap.
The sound of muskets was raised one after another. After firing, the musketeers directly drew their swords and fought with the enemy. The remaining six or seven thunderbolts were also thrown out at this time, a total of twenty or thirty
The soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty were directly blown over, but more Zhou people continued to move forward like dense locusts. The gap that the Han army once broke through naturally became their breakthrough point at this time, with their spears in front, pressing forward
The Han soldiers had to hold up their shields and retreat.
The captain patted the gunner's shoulder, said nothing, and threw himself directly into the battle ahead.
The gunner understood what the captain meant, and as a last resort, he directly ignited all the remaining shells of the artillery. The power of the explosion was enough to destroy the artillery, and it could also bring all the surrounding Northern Zhou soldiers rushing up to hell. Of course, the Han army soldiers
There is no doubt that he will die.
But in a situation where death is inevitable, it's not a bad thing to have someone to support you.
"Kill!" The sword in the captain's hand opened and closed like a tiger and a tiger.
The Mo-swordsmen rushed up after him, using the heavy weight of the Mo-sword to chop open the rows of spears that stood upright like a forest, and were flat like waves, advancing forward.
The spears were cut off, and the Han soldiers rushed through the gap again. The musketeers also seized this opportunity, lying on the ramparts and shooting desperately at the Zhou people. The smoke of gunpowder filled the air, and the entire battlefield seemed to be covered with black smoke.
