Valley Emperor

The Ming army continued to advance, even if the remaining bowl-mouth cannons in the battalion artillery team fired, the Ming army forwards still did not stop their pace!

Even if the musketeers in the three main infantry battalions of the 3rd Infantry Regiment and the grenadier team fired a total of 700 muskets, the Ming army on the opposite side still did not stop, but entered the 60s and 70s. After the distance of meters starts to counterattack with archers. .

However, although the Ming army is still advancing, the casualties are gradually increasing!

And this kind of casualties are getting bigger and bigger as they get closer!

However, at this time, Chang Pingchang, the forward commander of the Ming army, finally gave the order to start a charge of the whole army, and the soldiers of the Ming army began to rush up like a tide!

After watching the Ming army launch the final charge, what makes people feel weird is that the musketeers of the Datang New Army at the forefront stopped shooting under the order of the officer!

"Stop shooting, reload!"

"Quick, quick, the people in the back row come up quickly!"

"Prepare for a volley!"

The officers of the Musket Team rode on their horses, constantly swept past their own array, and shouted at the same time. The smell of gunpowder filled every corner.

At this time, many soldiers of the Datang New Army on the front line could not actually see the Ming Army soldiers who were launching their final charge only thirty or forty meters ahead.

Because the smoke blocked their sight!

Only the officers on horses can still see clearly the every move of the Ming army on the other side!

And this is also the most important reason why the officers of the Musket Team need to command the battle on horseback, and it can even be said to be the only reason!

Because they were standing on the ground, it was difficult for them to see the enemy's actions clearly through the smoke!

The Ming army is getting closer and closer. A musketeer has already drawn out his command knife and rode his horse back to the rear of his line. In front of him, the musketeers have changed from the previous six rows to three rows. , All the musketeers have been loaded and raised their muskets, and these muskets, without exception, are already loaded with bayonets.

"preparation!"

"aim!"

When the assault soldiers in the front row of the Ming Army crossed the 30-meter cordon, the leader of the musket team slammed down the command knife and shouted at the same time: "Shoot!"

In an instant, the sound of dense and crisp gunfire sounded almost on the entire front. Six musket teams plus one grenadier team. Although they were not satisfied, about 600 muskets fired salvos at almost the same time!

After the gunshots passed, the front row of the charging Ming army on the opposite side seemed to stagnate in an instant, and a large area fell in unison.

In an instant, the Ming army soldiers and even officers on the opposite side felt stunned!

However this has not been played yet!

Therefore, at this time, the grenadiers who fired the last round of salvos had already put their muskets on their backs and picked up grenades in their hands at the command of the officer!

"preparation"

"ignition!"

"bomb!"

In an instant, nearly a hundred grenades flew into the dense Ming army formation more than 20 meters away!

What followed was a continuous and dense explosion!

One hundred grenades were thrown out at the same time, and then exploded. Just this round of explosions caused more casualties than the previous Musketeer salvo!

However, the grenade throwing grenade is not over yet!

The officers of the grenadier still gave orders with expressionless faces: "Prepare, set fire, drop bombs!"

After only seven or eight seconds, another black grenade flew into the array of the Ming army!

At this time, the smoke from the first round of the grenade explosion in the Ming army's array had not yet dissipated!

The soldiers of the Ming Army who were within the range of the grenade explosion were immediately dead and wounded, while the surviving soldiers felt as if they were in a **** on earth.

Intensive explosions, the continuous death does not seem to stop, and it seems that I will die in the next second!

In just 20 seconds, when the grenadiers threw the second round of grenades, a phalanx of Ming army infantry with a size of about 1,000 people at the forefront collapsed completely!

This can't be blamed on them, because at this time, the soldiers in the front row of this infantry phalanx are basically dead, and there are only more than 800 people left in the phalanx of 1,000 people!

The casualty rate is almost 20%. If they don't collapse at this time, then they are not ordinary Ming army guards, but the most elite Ming army.

In the case of 20% casualties, not many traditional cold weapon troops can still launch a charge!

However, the defeat of the Ming Army's vanguard phalanx did not stop the Datang New Army from its scheduled battle plan!

At this time, the spearmen in the middle of the formation had already started to advance rapidly under the orders of the officers, and the heavily armored spearmen in the front row finally made their voices in this battle!

They trotted with steady steps, and then charged with the four-meter-five-long spears towards the clearly defeated Ming army vanguard on the opposite side!

Based on the width of the front, when the new army of the Tang Dynasty launched a frontal charge, it actually only launched a charge against the more than 2,000 Ming troops in front of them.

And these Ming troops have already suffered heavy casualties after the artillery, musket salvo, and grenade fire projections, and their morale has fallen to the lowest point!

At this time, it was really difficult for them to face the hand-to-hand charges of the spearmen and musketeers of the Datang New Army.

So they did not have any surprises and hesitations, and they were defeated neatly!

However, when they were defeated, Chang Pingchang shouted with a blushing face: "The left wing rushes up, the right wing rushes up! All for Lao Tzu!"

The troops that attacked frontally would suffer relatively large casualties, which was within his expectation, so he wisely placed the 2,000 friendly troops who were reinforced to him in the central army.

His own headquarters were placed on the two wings, and more than 2,000 troops and horses were concentrated on the left wing, and the right wing was only restrained.

Now the friendly army of the Central Army has collapsed, but his headquarters are still in good condition. What he needs now is to rush up and give the fake Tang Thieves Bureau a heavy left while the fake Tang thieves are fighting with the Central Army. Uppercut.

Immediately, the two thousand Ming troops on the left wing rushed forward!

Song Tianbiao on the opposite side naturally discovered the actions of the Ming army on the opposite side!

The order was immediately issued: "The ninth infantry battalion, the reserve battalion turns to face the enemy!"

It was the two infantry battalions in front of them that launched the charge, the 7th Infantry Regiment and the 8th Infantry Battalion, and the 9th Infantry Battalion behind the two infantry battalions only fired and shot arrows before, and did not participate in hand-to-hand combat. charge!

As for the preparatory camp at the back, they didn't even release their bows and arrows, and they stayed where they were!

The formation of the ninth infantry battalion and the reserve battalion is still intact, and the evolution of this phalanx is actually a whole infantry battalion turning around. The formation of the formation, and then re-formed the situation of the queue, if you do that, you don't have to fight the Ming army, they will have to mess up first.

As the soldiers trotted to change their formation, the left wing Ming army also rushed up!

The next battle was almost the same as the previous one. The new army of the Tang Dynasty formed a multi-level interception firepower with artillery, muskets, and bows and arrows, so that the Ming army in these charges suffered heavy casualties on the way.

When he saw that his own troops hadn't rushed forward, he had already suffered heavy casualties, and Chang Pingchang in the rear was finally unable to calm down.

He saw the heavy casualties of the friendly troops of the Chinese army just now. To be honest, it didn't give him much shock. It wasn't his own soldiers and horses who died, so he naturally wouldn't feel heartache.

But now, when it was his turn to start a large number of casualties, his face was extremely ugly.

Come on, these pseudo-Tang thieves are so sharp!

At this time, an officer directly under his command couldn't help but stepped forward and said, "Sir, if this continues, I'm afraid there will be heavy casualties!"

The other person immediately said: "They are all children of my Longliwei military family. If the casualties are too large, then what will we have to explain to the elders of Longliwei's hometown!"

And an old Qianhu said in a very excited tone: "Sir, I can't fight anymore... fight again... fight again... but..."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked forward, and then shouted, "My son!" Then he fainted directly to the ground!

The direction he looked at before he fell to the ground was to see a Ming army who was only about 20 years old and was riding a horse and was hit by shrapnel. The shrapnel hit him directly in the face. The shrapnel overturned half of his face with such a powerful force that the young hundred households couldn't even struggle, just fell off the horse, and then remained motionless, the red and white things quickly It just flows to the ground under his head!

The Ming Army's guards were formulated, and UU read www.uukanshu.com to decide that the soldiers led by the guards generals are all soldiers of the base and the guard, and whether they are officers or soldiers, they are hereditary for a century, a family of old Xiaodu farms in the Weisuo.

So they said that the soldiers who participated in the war were all the children of the guardhouse, and that was not wrong!

Of course, they didn't care about the lives of those soldiers in the serf guards, but among the people present, there were not many children, nephews, relatives and friends in the army. Most of them are related to them. If there are heavy casualties, there is no way to explain it to relatives and friends, let alone to myself!

Chang Pingchang frowned at this moment. While listening to his subordinates, he continued to look at the right wing!

At this time, the Pseudo-Tang Bandit Army has already divided about a thousand people to face its left wing troops, and has already completed the formation. Its formation is densely similar to the formation of the Chinese Army Bandit Army.

At this time, his troops were still fifty or sixty meters away from the bandit army, and there were already at least one hundred casualties!

If this continues to rush forward, I am afraid that, like the previous two thousand Central Army troops, they will be attacked by intensive salvos and blossoming bullets from the pseudo-Tang thief army, and casualties will be hundreds of casualties.

And how many soldiers and horses are there in his headquarters, only 2,800 people!

Come on, I can't continue fighting like this!

Anyway, there is a 30,000-strong army of the governor behind him. No matter what the pseudo-Tang thief army in front of him is, it can't be turned upside down.

After taking a deep breath, he said: "Let's let the fake Tang bandit army go first, first retreat and rest for a while, and then we will take down this group of fake Tang bandit army in one go!"
