Chapter 36 The Infantry of the Battle Sweeps the End
After a change of scene, Mo Ri came to watch the cavalry out with anticipation. The two elite cavalry teams formed a standard attack team. Although the army of the two Huai River has not been in war for a long time and most of the military affairs are in ruins, as the highest commander of Huaixi Road, there must always be a unit that is said to be the most powerful force in the entire Huaixi Road. Mo Rigen never owes the military pay of these two troops, and there is no moisture in their training. Mo Rigen just sits firmly on their current official position, so he will not be allowed to be
His power was undermined. This time, Mo Rigen's original intention was to lead this direct army to make military achievements and fight Caogu. However, through a brief cavalry contest, Mo Rigen knew that the bandits on the opposite side were not ordinary. He raised troops for a thousand days and used troops for a while. Mo Rigen all hoped for this elite soldier, hoping that they could withstand the first wave of damage from the opponent's firearms and rush in to defeat the enemy's formation. In Mo Rigen's impression, something like firearms can only be fought on the battlefield. Even if the firearms on the opposite side can be fired continuously, the distance of forty meters was only a moment for the cavalry to charge (he was estimating infantry firearms based on the previous cavalry situation).
The cavalry began to charge, and Mo Rigen's heart raised and looked at it in a flash. In a few seconds, he saw a yellow red light coming out in front of the enemy formation that he had not noticed. The front row of the direct cavalry, which was charging ten meters in formation, seemed to be pushed by a strong wind. Then a loud thunderous sound came in one or two seconds. The cavalry's charge was completely interrupted.
"How could the artillery be artillery? How did they move the artillery into the field?" Morigen shouted in a daze. In his mind, it was difficult for the heavy artillery to move with the troops.
Before anyone could answer him, a burst of cannon sounded by the bandits. Ten black dots flew out from there, smashing into the chaotic cavalry and causing greater chaos. Morigen quickly turned to the location of the central army of the Communist Party. He felt a bad feeling in his heart. Sure enough, ten seconds later, a series of loud noises and lights appeared in the central formation of the Communist Party. Rows of black dots hit the cavalry like eyes and hitting into the cavalry ready to restore order. The entire cavalry unit became lively like boiling water. As the black dots smashed in, it seemed that some limb-like objects could be seen splashing over the cavalry. Morigen saw these and started to turn black in front of him. But he held something and stood up with the help of others. Then he saw the collapse of the cavalry.
The good show then began. As the cavalry disintegrated, the infantry phalanx on the opposite side began to move because it was a pursuit battle. The musket infantry on the east wing was not an oblique queue, but an orthodox rectangular queue. The 2,000 people were neatly and pushed forward neatly with the same steps and the same movements, forming an inexplicable beauty. Because of the same pace, the footsteps brought out were also consistent, and they could be heard even after hundreds of meters. The 2,000 pairs of feet collided with the earth in a neat way, just like a mountain moving forward.
After seeing the appearance of the Communist Party Army, Mo Rigen and his siege army were filled with great enthusiasm. Compared with the fun of the soldiers below, Mo Rigen and the officers who led the troops under him could not imagine everything in front of him. As officers, they knew how difficult it was to keep an army in the same formation, not to mention the movements of swinging arms and legs during the movement. As generals and soldiers leading soldiers, they led soldiers as if they were like arm-to-arm fingers, and the bandit leader on the opposite side had already done it.
As for how strong the army in front of him was, it was soon reflected. With He Cheng's whistle, the East Wing Legion led by him quickly stopped, and with a series of commands, the first row of musketeers were uniformly aimed at the enemy eighty or ninety meters away.
Originally, the infantry behind the cavalry on the east wing of the Yuan army were preparing to follow the cavalry to get cheaper, but they didn't know that the cavalry had dispersed after most of the Yuan army's incomprehensible attacks. The Qianhu of this infantry brigade was a capable man (I would not make up the name, and the cannon fodder died soon). When the cavalry was defeated, he cut down several people to gather his troops to prevent his thousand-man team from being dispersed by the defeated cavalry. But then, the musket army of the Gonghe Army charged neatly. Looking at the mountainous momentum of the Gonghe Army, the infantry Qianhu felt a bitter heart. He was originally a man with some talent.
.Because he could not please his superiors, he was always excluded, Mo Rigen finally appreciated him and promoted him. As a soldier-knowing man, he abandoned the thought of victory in his heart when he saw the advancing military appearance of the Communist Army opposite. He thought of Fenglin Volcano in Sun Tzu's Art of War, and the army opposite had only one kind of momentum, that is, mountain. It was as fixed as a mountain, walking as a mountain, attacking as a mountain. When the opposite side suddenly stopped and was a little outside of his arrow, he thought that the opposite side wanted to fight his army. He was about to give an order, but he saw a row of yellow lights on the opposite side. Then, he heard a sound in a trance and was unconscious.
Since He Cheng issued the name of the fire, the commander on the opposite side who had only the first row of guns was eliminated. While losing the highest officer, the troops were so scared that they quickly dispersed. Only a few personal soldiers launched a pig raid after losing their master. As a result, they followed their little master as the gunshots were fired.
He Cheng looked at the performance of the army on the opposite side speechlessly. He only had a row of guns, and even a round of gunshots had turned from the army into a refugee before the gun was completed. This battle was too unchallenging. The Supreme Commander repeatedly emphasized before the war that the army should be prepared for hand-to-hand combat. The whole army was also ready to go to the red. After seeing it, he felt like he was swinging a punch in the air.
At this time, the familiar cannon sound came again. He Cheng looked at the direction of the attack on the west wing of the Yuan army. He Cheng confirmed that the casualties of the Republican army would not exceed single digits this time. He then ordered all soldiers to go bayonets and advance in a row, and quickly seize the east side of the Yuan army's central army.
When the army was bombarded on the west side, Mo Rigen knew that the battle had completely failed. Mo Rigen did not expect that the range of the opposite artillery was so long. Now the artillery of the opposite army hit him west, instead of attacking his commanding flag. I am afraid that the opponent would have thought of capturing himself alive. But Mo Rigen was really unwilling to give up. Mo Rigen had lost most of his bets and didn't even hurt the fur on the opposite side. Suddenly he remembered the drunken words of the head of the firearms army in Dadu: "The artillery is not lasting. If you fire three guns in a row, you must wait for the cooling down, otherwise it will explode.
"Mo Rigen seemed to have touched the last straw, so he told the generals around him about the shortcomings of artillery. Because the two wings of the Communist Party had already emerged at this time, the central army had weak forces. The cannons could not open fire. At this time, a cavalry needed to directly attack the bandit army commander, but in one fell swoop, he could turn defeat into victory. Mo Rigen explained to the people below, but no one said anything, and no one was willing to take the lead. Mo Rigen's face turned cold, he threatened and tempted, and finally offered military law and rewards. The last hundred household could not get beaten, and led the last three hundred cavalry toward the sickle flag of the central army.
Originally, the people in the central army saw the army on the opposite side being plowed by artillery shells and then were dispersed like ducks. They had no hope for further military achievements. But they didn't know that when the war was about to end, three hundred Sparta charged. At this time, Zhu Zichou said ignorantly that cooling after the three artillery only saved the life of the artillery, and the limit of a one-type artillery was ten. As Cheng Pan's commander of the Imperial Guard, Lu Haima, immediately blocked it back with the excuse of wasting gunpowder by artillery soldiers. Just kidding, you will hit you a row of shotguns, and the opposite side will become a hornet's nest, and you will not bring such a person's head.
For economic reasons, Cheng Pan asked the musketeers to annihilate the enemy. One thousand musketeers welcomed the three hundred warriors with a diagonal line with dense rain of bullets. In the end, no knight rushed within 40 meters in front of the formation. Morigen lost his last glimmer of hope. Although there was no artillery on the opposite side, the musketeers alone had such power. Morigen was in despair and was powerless. This was a war that could not be won by no means win. Morigen felt that he was old in an instant. His subordinates didn't care about so many, and pulled him to escape. At this time, the casualties of the army increased rapidly, and the musketeers on both sides were slaughtering the archer troops one-sidedly. Archers who could shoot 100 meters were top archers, with a ratio of one-thirty. But there were a large number of musketeers on the opposite side that had a range of 100 meters. At this time, the lives of the musketeers were far greater than those who died in the artillery.
With Mo Rigen's escape and the collapse of the Yuan army's flag, the remaining Yuan army lost their will to fight and begged for mercy. Since the battle was northeast of Chaohu, it was called the Battle of Hudong. In this battle, a total of 2,450 Yuan soldiers were killed and injured, 1,232 were captured, and the chief general Mo Rigen fled. A total of 8 were injured in the combined army, 5 were shot at the archer when shooting at the archer, one was sprained when running forward, and the other two were too hot to shoot with cannons, so Zhu Zishou, the commander-in-chief of the artillery, said that the artillery was the greatest in this battle. For this statement, the majority of non-artillery grassroots officers gave unanimous contempt.
