Chapter 904 Unprecedented Victory(1/2)
In half a stick of incense, the Crouching Tiger Cannon and the Ming Dynasty Cannon unleashed their might, coupled with the volley of rifle fire, causing casualties of at least 50,000 coalition soldiers. Can this battle still be fought?
Golovin never expected that Daming firearms would be so ferocious.
This was the most brutal killing he had ever seen since he joined the army. This was not a war, it was a one-sided massacre.
We cannot continue fighting like this, otherwise the entire army will be annihilated. The coalition forces must withdraw quickly, return to Turkestan, and then find a way to deal with the Ming army.
"Allied forces retreat quickly..."
Golovin gave an order, and the coalition troops threw down their armor and hurriedly turned around and ran away...
"Rumble..."
The Ming army's shelling continued, and countless shells exploded in the fleeing coalition crowd...
"Soldiers, hunt down the coalition forces..."
The young generals gave the order, and more than 20,000 Ming troops climbed into the trenches and chased the coalition troops and shot:
"Bang bang bang..."
"Puff puff……"
Twenty thousand Ming troops chased and fired at the coalition forces, causing thousands of coalition casualties.
The infantry certainly couldn't catch up with the cavalry, and the cavalry quickly ran out of rifle range, but they aimed at the coalition soldiers who had lost their horses.
Supplies were not easy, and the Ming army did not take prisoners. Regardless of whether they surrendered or not, they all were killed. At least more than 4,000 people were killed.
"Da da da……"
"Tong Dingguo stays to guard the camp, and the others mount their horses!"
At this time, Zhang Huangyan personally led 30,000 cavalry out of the camp. Each cavalryman led several horses.
After giving the order, the Ming army quickly jumped on their horses under the command of their respective generals, preparing to quickly pursue the coalition forces.
Zhang Huangyan looked at the direction of the coalition's retreat and said to Yang Bao and other young generals:
"There's no rush, just follow behind and let Chen De and the others show off their skills."
"Here!"
More than 40,000 Ming troops rode slowly behind the coalition forces, but did not catch up quickly. They were all waiting to watch the fun...
As the coalition forces retreated in panic, pieces of turf were quietly lifted, and then each little head was revealed.
They felt the vibration of the ground around them, and knowing that a large number of cavalry were coming, they quickly retreated into the ground again...
"Da da da……"
…
The overwhelming coalition cavalry was fleeing desperately, and a violent explosion suddenly occurred in the crowd. It was not a single explosion, but one after another, like a wave of explosions, lingering...
"Rumble..."
"Bang bang bang..."
The ground was shaking violently, and a large amount of dust and grass were flying, covering the sky and blocking the sun. The unprepared coalition cavalry was suddenly turned upside down by the explosion, with their stumps flying around, and their flesh and blood...
The coalition soldiers were either frightened to pieces or turned into trapeze artists, with limbs missing when they landed...
The explosion area was almost two kilometers. Since the Maozi army was at the center of the explosion, they were almost wiped out in one fell swoop.
One of Golovin's arms was blown off, and Taiji of the Kazakh Khanate and Abra, the Great Khan of the Pegasi Khanate, were even more unlucky. Their bodies were blown away...
Even so, the explosion did not stop and continued for several minutes...
"Rumble..."
…………
Only the corpses of the coalition forces were scattered all over the field, and the entire grassland turned black and red. There were explosions and the wails of coalition soldiers everywhere.
The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who slowly followed the coalition forces were also shocked by the violent explosion.
None of them thought that the explosives and mines they planted would be so powerful.
The Five-Nation Allied Forces suffered heavy casualties in the explosion. The soldiers who were not killed ran away like headless flies, throwing away their weapons.
There had just been an explosion on the way back, and they didn't dare to escape from above. They were afraid of another explosion, so they could only flee in all directions.
After the explosion, there was another serious stampede among the coalition forces. Soldiers who lost their horses and injured soldiers who fell to the ground were trampled into a pulp while wailing...
More than 60,000 of the more than 200,000 troops fell during the charge, and more than 30,000 were killed or injured in the explosion.
Another serious stampede occurred in order to escape, and this stampede killed at least 20,000 people.
The coalition coach Golovin was seriously injured and lost an arm, but his life was not saved. He escaped from the explosion with the desperate efforts of his bodyguards to save him.
However, the two unlucky ones, Kazakh Taiji and Shuo Dahan, did not have so much luck, and they were all killed in the bombing.
The commanders of the two countries were killed and the coalition commander was maimed. This turned the coalition soldiers without their commanders into a bunch of headless flies and could only run around on the battlefield...
Seeing that the time had come, Zhang Huangyan gave an order:
"Send the order, the cavalry will attack quickly!"
"Here!"
"Go ahead..."
"Kill..."
"Capture Golovin alive..."
After receiving the order, 50,000 Ming cavalry quickly attacked...
The Ming army's cavalry pursued the coalition forces, and Tong Dingguo led his men back to the Ming army's camp.
At this time, behind the Ming army camp, four thousand Rakshasa ghosts suddenly appeared by the river.
These Rakshasa ghosts who made a sneak attack were the infantry sent by the coalition commander Golovin. They were wading through the water and approaching the military camp.
The river was not very deep, almost at the chest level. These Rakshasa ghosts waded across the river with their flintlock guns held high.
Already about a hundred meters away from the military camp, there was still no movement from the Ming army. They only heard bursts of explosions in the distance.
Khabolov, a senior colonel in the Rakshasa Army, could not help but secretly admire Golovin's wise command.
The Ming army was attracted by the frontal attack of the coalition forces. They waded into the water to sneak attack the Ming army camp, and they should be able to capture the Ming army general by surprise.
"Bang bang bang..."
Suddenly there was a burst of gunfire from the river bank opposite the military camp.
The Rakshasa ghosts walking in front were shot and fell into the river, and the river was instantly dyed red with blood.
"Fight back quickly..."
Colonel Rakshasa Ghost hurriedly ordered to fire back, but before he finished speaking, a bullet penetrated his thigh.
Lao Maozi's legs went limp and he sat in the river. He immediately drank several mouthfuls of river water. The guards hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.
"Quick, shoot..."
The guy was lifted up by his personal guards, who shouted commands to fight back.
"Bang bang..."
The Rakshasa ghosts pulled the triggers of their flintlock rifles one after another, but the Ming army lay down behind the bunker on the river bank to shoot, and they could not hit the Ming army at all.
"Bang bang bang..."
"Swish swish..."
The Ming army kept firing and started using mortars. They wanted to resolutely eliminate this group of Rakshasa ghosts.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The Rakshasa ghosts could not run fast in the water, and dozens of mortar shells exploded around them, sending their flesh and blood flying everywhere.
"Quickly retreat..."
Seeing that there was nothing they could do about the Ming army, and that if they continued to charge, they would be doomed, Colonel Rakshasa Ghost hurriedly gave orders to retreat.
"Da da da……"
At this time, more violent gunfire sounded, and the Ming Dynasty's blunderbuss began to bombard Luo...
Various firearms of the Ming Dynasty were used in turn, and the heads of Rakshasa ghosts were blown off one after another, and their bodies were continuously penetrated...
When they fled back to the other side in panic, they found that there were only more than 500 soldiers.
Seeing that the soldier who was shot in the river was unable to get ashore, I was about to order someone to rescue him.
"Rumble..."
Suddenly, dozens more mortar shells exploded around them, causing more than a hundred casualties.
The colonel was so frightened that he lay on the ground shivering. After a while, there was no sound of gunfire or artillery. He hurriedly got up and ran away...
"Don't...don't abandon us..."
The injured Rakshasa ghosts in the river could only watch helplessly as their companions left and were quickly washed away by the river. They were injured by bullets and their wounds were soaked by the river water. None of them would survive...
To be continued...
