Chapter 1115 stalemate
Due to weight issues, infantry can only throw about 30 meters of distances, but with the speed of war horses, the throwing distance can be increased to 50 meters. However, in an ideal state, cavalry will generally have to approach about 40 meters before they will throw, which also affects the cavalry involved in the throwing. During the throwing process, some cavalry were even injured by the explosion shock wave and shrapnel due to mistakes.
However, once a soldier accepts the order, no matter what the result is, it will be executed to the end. Although some people were injured or frightened by the horse, the first round of bomb drops was still completed in less than half a quarter of an hour. After more than ten casualties, three hundred and ten thousand enemies all hit the bandits' defense line.
"Boom...boom..."
"Boom boom boom..."
When hundreds of thousands of enemies exploded in the bandit defense line, the overwhelming explosion accompanied by shock waves and shrapnel flying everywhere immediately stunned the bandits who had never experienced such a scene.
The violent explosion turned the stones, wood, earth buns, boxes and various obstacles that were originally piled up in the middle of the official road into deadly things. The archers who were originally hiding behind the obstacles were smashed to death by objects that were originally used as cover.
And those bandits hiding in the houses are not much better. You should know that most of the houses in rural areas are earthen houses, and then they are covered with thatch on the roof. The conditions for the roofs can be covered with tiles are already good. As for brick and tile houses, they are definitely only the rich man who has the ability to build them.
Therefore, in the middle of the explosion, the bandits hiding in the house were in great danger, and many people were buried alive by the collapsed houses.
"boom……"
A ten thousand enemies who were thrown from nowhere landed less than twenty meters away from Hao Yaoqi. The shrapnel and shock waves splashed everywhere instantly knocked several nearby bandits to the ground. A bandit closest to the explosion point was even personally bombarded by a strong shock wave, and then accidentally flew to Hao Yaoqi's feet.
Looking at the bandits running around in the explosion, Hao Yaoqi was both frightened and helpless. To be honest, he was not a timid person, but after fighting a few battles with Jiangning Army, the feeling of powerlessness in his heart became stronger and stronger.
In the past, he could ride a war horse face to face with the enemy without fear, but he didn't care even if he died in the battlefield. He was originally a life-threatening person, so what a pity was there, but he couldn't stand this kind of fighting style.
This is not the kind of battle between gongs and drums in front of him. It is clearly a one-sided massacre. The Jiangning Army used the firearms in his hands and the weapons that could make huge sounds and emit deadly shrapnel to continuously harvest the lives of the rebels. They had no choice but to hide behind the building and accidents. This sense of powerlessness could make people despair.
The explosion came suddenly but disappeared suddenly. After the first round of assault, the battlefield suddenly fell into a strange silence, as if the shouts and fighting just now were just an illusion, but the painful moans and misery that kept coming into the ears were telling Hao Yaoqi that this silence was only short-lived, and the Jiangning army would soon launch a new round of attacks again.
He called a team whistle and ordered: "Tell me my order to let the first team retreat. When the second team comes up, you must block the gap and not let the officers and soldiers rush up, otherwise everything will be too late."
"clear!"
The team responded and went down immediately. Not long after, hundreds of bandits hurriedly pulled up, but before they could prepare, a rapid sound of horse hooves sounded again.
Hearing these horse hooves, Hao Yaoqi's face changed immediately, "No, the dog officers and soldiers rushed over again. Everyone is ready to drive them out with bows and arrows!"
Well, actually Hao Yaoqi knew that this was pure nonsense. When the fortifications and houses were intact just now, their archers could not kill too much. Now they were bombed like this, let alone. Now he doesn't want to drive the Jiangning army down, just wanting to not be washed away immediately.
Accompanied by the rumbling sound of horse hooves, tens of thousands of enemies were thrown from the front. The bandits who had just been added and had not had time to unfold were blown up. In this round of bombing, at least more than 200 bandits were killed and injured, while more people fled everywhere.
Compared with Hao Yaoqi's fallen abyss, Cao Yingmao, who had been checking the battle situation behind, was overjoyed. Originally, he sent people to use ten thousand enemies to approach the bombardment, but he only planned to hold a dead horse as a living horse, but he didn't expect the effect to be so good, which was something he didn't expect.
He pulled out the saber from his waist and shouted loudly: "Brothers, the bandits have been defeated, everyone is on the horse and they are fighting with me!"
"Run!"
Cao Yingchi, who jumped onto the war horse, took the lead in waving his sabre and rushed forward, while behind him were torrents formed by thousands of cavalry.
Hao Yaoqi was also ruthless when he saw the Ming army launching a general attack, and also raised the long sword in his hand: "Everyone comes up, I will hold it back, and who dares to take a step back and kill you without mercy!"
"kill!"
A cavalry rushed into the passage that had just been blown out and rushed into the village, while the bandits rushed out from all corners to try to stop them. The two torrents quickly collided and made violent shocks, shouting, gunshots and shouting explosions.
"Bang……"
A bandit collided with the war horse that rushed towards him. He was knocked to fly backwards. Finally, he landed heavily on the ground and immediately began to vomit blood. The whole person twitched for a while and then stopped moving.
"Stop it all, hold it!"
Hao Yaoqi fought desperately with hundreds of bandits from the old camp, but the infantry and cavalry fighting face to face were originally inherently disadvantageous. After resisting for a while, only dozens of people were left beside Hao Yaoqi.
Just when he was anxious, there were waves of screams coming from behind. He heard someone shouting: "Great, General Li Guo is here to reinforce us!"
Hao Yaoqi turned around suddenly and saw the crowds of people behind him. A big word "Li" came into his eyes. Who is the figure in the lead who is not Li Guo?
"Very good!"
Hao Yaoqi was overjoyed. He jumped up again when he had already fallen to the bottom of the valley.
He was so excited that his face was flushed with redness and shouted loudly: "Brothers, reinforcements are coming, let's kill us, drive the dog officers and soldiers out!"
