Chapter 230 Thunder Attack
In the early morning, when the sky was about to turn white, the Ming army had already entered the countdown to the general offensive.
Armor, weapons, and even pieces of red cloth were all placed in front of the well-fed Ma Bao, Ta Xince and other surrendered soldiers.
Ta Xince smiled slightly, as if he had known this for a long time, stepped forward, put on a somewhat damaged armor, and grabbed a long spear.
Can you survive by surrendering? Everyone knows that it is not that simple. As a pioneer, it has always been the rule, and no one finds it strange.
"Tie the red cloth around your neck so that you will not be able to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy during the melee." Li Yue's stern expression softened and he said: "If you defeat Li Benzhen's troops, Li will advise His Highness that you will be forgiven if you perform meritorious service."
"Thank you, General Li." Ta Xince cupped his hand and tied the red cloth strip quickly.
Ma Bao silently armed himself and tied the red cloth strip. Feeling the cold weapon in his hand, his back straightened up. Isn't it just charging into battle, a martial artist's specialty?
Liu Zhifu, wearing armor and helmet, holding a weapon, stood in front of the team with Tao Xinji and Ma Bao.
There were more than 3,000 pioneers in total, and most of them were the former Daxi Army who surrendered to Wu Sangui. They were able to survive, obviously because of His Highness' mercy.
You know, in Dafang, none of the officers of the Wu clan, such as Wu Guogui, were released, and they didn't even have the chance to serve as pioneers and make meritorious service.
Under the gazes of thousands of people, rockets spit out flames and pierced the white sky, like meteor showers. They shot back one after another in the Qing army's camp with graceful arc trajectories.
p>
Even fewer are rocket launchers, which will become the key to victory. For the Qing army that Shao Yixiang followed, we have also seen the overwhelming power of rocket launchers, bombing and burning.
The quadruple-mounted launcher is the least equipped for the army, and it is also the choice with the worst overall performance including weight and other data.
Rocket launchers are still firing continuously. What has deteriorated is only the manufacturing process and filling accuracy of rocket launcher shells, but not the operational level of artillery.
Boom, boom, boom! The panicked Qing army fired artillery one after another, whether it could kill or injure the enemy, or at most embolden them, but they were so passively beaten.
Finally, after a fierce and death-fearing retreat from the rear, the wall of the village was breached. Then, Li Yue on both wings also entered the enemy camp amidst the roar of guns and cannons.
The stacked trees burst into flames and smoke, illuminating the figures of the Qing troops running and jumping around.
The rocket launcher shells landed inside the wall and exploded and burned continuously. Although many shells were wasted, with weak attacks, the wall did not show signs of collapse.
Rocket launchers were still pouring shells into the camp, with flames shooting into the sky, people shouting and horses neighing, and the Qing army fell into an unmanageable chaos.
That's an opportunity for performance, and it's an excellent one. Chasing the enemy will cause almost no damage, and it's not effective at all.
After several days of pursuit, the men and horses following Li Benzhen were also trapped and exhausted. Coupled with the misjudgment of Li Yue in front of him, the camp was not built solidly.
Shao Yixiang received the delayed report, put on his show, gathered his troops, and was not prepared for the battle. In my opinion, the enemy is really stupid but wise to give up relying on strongholds to block the attack.
Li Benshen's ears were ringing. A cannonball had just exploded at a very close distance. The bright flash of light caused my eyes to enter a brief period of white darkness.
I'm wrong. I am a Ming soldier. I was once named a Duke, but I was loyal to the wrong emperor.
Although we carry dozens of artillery pieces, they are far inferior to rocket launchers in terms of range, and even worse in terms of rate of fire.
Before the sound of artillery stopped, the drums of charge were beaten. At this moment, Shao Yi gave the order to retreat.
Almost all the people who witnessed this scene on the battlefield were shocked, including Li Yue. It was also the first time for us to see the tortoise-shaped jet train showing its power, and it was so cruel.
Among them, the men and horses acting as the rear were the most ferocious. They pursued the defeated Qing army and killed them without mercy.
Li Benzhen nodded, and his confidence increased a bit. Artillery is the key to defeating the enemy, and these soldiers are simply difficult to resist.
The spray train was also pushed down, spitting out fire dragons with teeth and claws within the range, and rushed directly towards the luxurious wall and the Qing troops guarding the wall.
The Ming army and Ta Xince looked at each other in astonishment, and could not help but smile bitterly. Although they had seen the power of rocket launchers, compared with the power behind them, it was still a little short of the power behind them.
"There are so many enemy troops! It should be that all the local soldiers from Shuixi have come down, right?" In the dim sky, Li Ben looked deeply, with a bit of solemnity on his face.
The rocket shells were loaded quickly, and the gunners raised red flags one after another. With an order, the stretched fuses were ignited almost simultaneously.
As long as there is no bravery and courage on the part of the Eighth Prince, the various units of the Xiaoxi Army in Yunnan will also fall apart and lose like a tide.
"It turns out that he is the real Li Yue. Without such a tiger and wolf warrior, no wonder he can win many battles." An Kun and the others stood on the top of the mountain and witnessed the peaceful but not cruel little battle.
The gunshots were fired one after another, and with each roar, hundreds of lead bullets were fired out. The luxurious village walls did not play a small protective role.
Boom! A huge explosion was shocking. The powder barrels in the distance of the Qing artillery were detonated, causing heavy casualties to the surrounding Qing troops.
Ying Zhen and others adjusted the elevation angle of the launcher in extremely slow movements before directing the soldiers to load the artillery shells.
The five fire-breathing tanks that had been following the forward movement pushed out. Yes, they came out to scare people again. Of course, within the range, that guy is still very powerful, although the range is not a bit short.
In the firelight, the running and stumbling shadows of the Qing army loomed. Above the sparse bombing, there was an unprepared Qing army, and chaos was inevitable.
Speaking of which, Li Benzhen is a standard seventh-generation ancestor and has many outstanding achievements.
Li Yue stopped retreating. The angles of the dozens of rocket launchers had not been adjusted. Now he only needed to aim at the enemy camp.
The branches of felled trees were piled up nearly two meters high, and artillery pieces were placed at regular intervals.
"Little man, the artillery is now fully loaded." An officer came down to report, "When the enemy approaches again, we can fire the artillery."
The flames burned blazingly, and the Qing soldiers who were not burned jumped and rolled like men on fire, emitting miserable wails that sounded like human voices.
Li Yue nodded with satisfaction and turned around.
Facing the Qing troops who had no fighting spirit and turned around to flee, General Li Yue gave out an exciting shout and launched a brave pursuit.
Without that kind of defense, Li Benzhen felt that it was not enough. He even thought that he was cautious enough, and did not expect that the enemy in front of him would be far superior in terms of military strength and firepower.
The panicked Qing army and the sparse artillery caused little damage. Before Li Yue approached the wall shrouded in fireworks at an extremely slow speed, the roar of gunfire rang out from both wings.
What I saw was very vague. It was just a mass of white. I couldn’t tell whether it was a soldier or Li Yue.
Below my head, rockets flashing with tail flames passed by; behind, there were rising fires and smoke. The sun jumped out of the horizon, covering the small ground with red clouds, like blood spilled.
In the gorgeous bloom of blood flowers, the Qing troops guarding the wall fell one by one. They only had time to shoot the arrows that appeared, but it was difficult to cause any damage.
The two battalions of Li Yue on the two wings of the rear force were only a few dozen meters behind. They took small steps and retreated backwards. However, behind the rear force, there was not even one battalion of Li Yue in the formation.<
/p>
"Kill, kill!"
The launcher can also be nailed to the ground through a wooden wedge to maintain relative stability, which affects the launch accuracy of the rocket launcher.
The seventh round of rocket launches was adjusted. Although the dispersion rate was still very small, it covered part of the existing wall and the installed artillery.
The eight thousand people behind us rushed backwards with shouts. That was our salvation and also a test for us. Whether they destroyed us in Guoyongdi and Xiaofang, now is not the time to prove our worth.
What impressed me the most was the jet engine, with its soft inner shell and scorching flames that no one can withstand.
I can serve as the admiral of Guizhou because I am the nephew of Dijie, Xingpingbo, one of the seven towns in Jiangbei. Before Dijie died, he inherited my subordinates. Secondly, I surrendered to the Qing Dynasty very early and gave birth to Wu Bagui’s daughter a few days ago.
Calf.
There was a flash of light on the opposite side, and the Qing army's artillery fired a solid shell, flying past Shao Yi. There was a scream in front of me, but I didn't seem to hear it, and even let out a beast-like roar, taking small steps like flying.
.
The Ming army ran backwards, holding their spears tightly, feeling violent energy rushing in their chests, as if they were back in the days of being soldiers.
Li Benshen's first escape became the last straw that overwhelmed the Qing army's fighting spirit.
Although I claim to be brave, I haven't personally fought in battle in a few years. At this time, I have to use the weapons in my hands and fight with my own strength to earn a future for myself.
"Kill!"
At this time, I realized that Li Yue had not retreated to Shuixi, and there were a large number of troops. The reliance on strongholds to block the attack during the day was just a trick to paralyze me.
An Ruding swallowed and was shocked by Li Yue's extremely fierce firepower. On top of such indiscriminate bombing, how many armies can withstand it without strong defenses?
Li Benzhen's eyes followed the movement of the rocket, and his face was full of shock, more like a little fool who had seen the world, and his dumbfounded look was extremely ridiculous.
It was already dawn, and Li Benzhen also saw Li Yue's true lineup. Despite the indiscriminate bombardment, the luxurious wall could withstand the opponent's onslaught, and he finally realized that victory was a foregone conclusion.
"Isn't that the real strength of the Eight Prince's troops?! Or is it the legendary power of Fire Virtue?"
The expected small melee did not happen, and the Qing army collapsed at the first touch, either surrendering or fleeing. The most important reason was that our coach Li Benshen ran away first.
Li Yue was also full of confidence in retreating, and he also took some sneak attacks, opened up his formation, and quickly approached the enemy camp.
Chapter completed!
