Chapter 611: Seized Captures Must Be Returned to the Public
The commander-in-chief said embarrassedly: The target was dealt with by the Third Battalion as soon as it was discovered. The range of their mortars is not as far as that of the Third Battalion.
Lai Chuanfang cursed and shouted at us to keep a close eye on them, saying that the enemy would not be able to gain any advantage and would soon send out their cavalry to attack us.
Behind the battlefield of the Shenwei Army, the cavalry commander Zhang Zhi led 40,000 elite soldiers to hide in a ravine and wait for action. The explosion in front made the horses around the soldiers restless, and the riders stroked the horses' backs and patted their necks to comfort them as if they were serving their wives or brothers.
Deputy General Zhang Shun said to himself: "The Third Young Master asked us to attack last, when is that last time? The battle has already started for half an hour, is he asking us to clean up the battlefield?"
Zhang Zhi looked ahead sternly and said: Obeying military orders is a soldier's duty. The enemy's cavalry hasn't come out yet. We will attack when the enemy comes.
Under Mengge's tent, Tachaer saw through the telescope that the Shenwei Army was retreating and the two interception positions they had captured were returned to them. He was overjoyed and cheered, "Look, Khan! Our men are so brave and have recaptured the positions."
Meng Ge picked up the telescope and looked around. Sure enough, the Mongolian infantry and cavalry cooperated to recapture the position they had just lost. But the Mongolian offensive ended there. The Shenwei Army's horse-mounted heavy machine guns opened fire, spewing flames left and right, constantly harvesting lives, making the Mongolian army unable to raise their heads , and the cavalry on the horses and the injured horses rolled to the ground.
The infantrymen in the front retreated in a hurry, but were blocked by the two trenches that had just been recaptured. They jumped directly into the trenches, but were blown up by the hand grenades thrown by the Shenwei Army.
When Ta Chaer saw this scene, he was so angry that he cursed: The little Nanman are so hateful, they did this on purpose, our trenches have become ravines blocking their own way, and we are actually helping the little Nanman to build fortifications.
Meng Ge said expressionlessly: Attack, continue attacking, and cover the flank assault.
Not long after, the life-threatening "Woo, woo, woo" sounds were heard on both sides of the Shenwei Army's position. The Mongolian light cavalry blew the conch shells to charge, and the densely packed Mongolian cavalry on the prairie rushed towards the Shenwei Army's position.
This is Brother Meng serving Zhao Yulin a hard dish.
Guard Captain Jing Gang heard loud explosions and fierce shouts all around, and said worriedly: Third Young Master, you should put it on.
Then he handed over his outfit: an old 800 million yuan gun, a steel helmet, a tactical vest, and two grenades. These were the personal belongings of military advisor Zhu Congwen when he traveled through time. He put them on silently, took the 800 million yuan gun, disassembled it, wiped it, and reassembled it, and asked for a legging cloth to wrap it up carefully.
He asked Jing Gang to tell Lai Chuanfang that our army does not need so many horses on the front line, so we can deploy more on the wings.
Jing Gang didn't move and asked the deputy captain to run and pass the message.
He asked: Don’t you believe that our Shenwei Army is invincible?
Are you worried about the Mongolian army invading?
Jing Gang didn't look at him, but just said that his duty was to protect the young master.
Zhao Yulin was very satisfied. Although this boy was stubborn, he was protecting his safety.
Lai Chuanfang was yelling at the artillery to bombard here and there. The enemy was outflanking from both sides, and the light cavalry was mixed with heavy cavalry to attack the flank of the Shenwei Army, just short of another hammer attack from behind.
While giving orders, he cursed the Northern Barbarians for being so cruel and difficult to deal with, but when he saw the brilliant counterattack of the Divine Power Army, he exclaimed in delight.
The deputy captain explained it to him twice before the guy understood. He laughed and shouted to go back and report to the third young master: The order has been given. The horse-carrying people are capable. They will be rewarded heavily after this battle.
This guy found that the artillery was a little stretched to meet the enemy on both sides, and saw that the new third battalion was more than capable of dealing with the enemy in the front, so he had already ordered the adjustment of the deployment of heavy machine guns. Not only did he transfer the horse-drawn ones, he also robbed Zhang Dabiao of ten mortars.
The fierce battle continued, and the Mongolian cavalry continued to attack fearlessly. The artillery commander requested the cavalry to attack, because his artillery could not guarantee fire support on both sides, and could only protect one side. Moreover, the ammunition consumption was too high, and he was worried that the supply would not be enough.
It will be dangerous if the cavalry doesn't launch an attack.
Lai Chuanfang immediately gave the order to send a signal: one grenade after another was launched into the air, shooting straight into the sky, exploding high into a gorgeous firework, followed by the second and the third.
The cavalrymen in the distance saw it immediately, and excitedly waved their swords and shouted: Look, three fireworks exploded in the sky one after another.
Zhang Zhi drew his sword and shouted: Cavalry attack.
The loud charge sounded throughout Lijiayu.
The cavalry of the Shenwei Army rushed straight to the left wing of the position from the rear, intercepting the Mongolian cavalry's charge, which immediately relieved the pressure on the left wing of the Shenwei Army. The artillery shifted its firepower to the right side to attack the enemy, and the advantage immediately became apparent.
Tachaer discovered through the telescope that the battlefield situation changed suddenly after the Shenwei Army cavalry attacked. The cavalry on both wings could no longer get close to the Shenwei Army's camp. He immediately ordered the release of the reserve troops to concentrate on attacking the front. The Mongolian army's Huihui cannons and catapults hidden behind the hill were all activated and fired desperately at the Shenwei Army's positions.
Zhang Dabiao's New Third Battalion was the first to suffer the fierce artillery fire from the Mongolian army, and a horse-mounted carriage in the middle position was blown over.
The boy was so angry that he tore off his hat and threw it on the ground, shouting, "Determine the direction, load Type A bullets, Type A bullets."
The so-called Type A shells are the shells loaded with new gunpowder used by the Shenwei Army. Such shells are far superior to ordinary shells in terms of explosive power and range. Zhang Dabiao's eight mortars opened fire quickly, eliminating the targets within range one by one.
Tachaer saw that the three horse-carrying positions of the Shenwei Army sometimes fired directly and sometimes fired at a long distance like small Huihui cannons. The cross fire made his troops defeated. He was furious and kept shouting: Blow the horn, blow the conch horn to charge, rush up and stick to the enemy to fight.
Both sides are fighting hard.
However, the Mongolian cavalry that rushed to the left wing of the Shenwei Army was divided into several scattered pieces by Zhang Zhi's rapid penetration. They were being annihilated one by one and showed signs of collapse.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Tachaer turned back in panic and reported to Khan Damengge: The enemy is too powerful, should we retreat?
The Khan took the telescope handed to him and looked around. He also realized that the army was about to be defeated. After throwing the telescope to Tachaer, he took the mare's milk offered by the maid to rinse his mouth, threw the golden bowl out, and shouted: Go.
On the Shenwei Army's position, Zhang Dabiao, the battalion commander of the new third battalion, was lying beside a gunner and observing the enemy situation through a telescope. A golden light pierced his eyes. He closed his eyes and rubbed them, then immediately observed carefully in the direction of the golden light. He found a huge white tent with a bright yellow umbrella in front of it on the hillside behind the enemy, and a group of people were running in panic.
How could there be such a gorgeous tent in such a barren mountain? Da Biao immediately thought of it as Tachaer's big tent. He excitedly pointed at the tent opposite and asked the gunner Dunzi to observe carefully and then fire it.
Dunzi said in embarrassment: There are still ten shells, and they will be used up in one salvo, so we may not hit the target.
Da Biao went up and kicked the pier, cursing: "What the hell, I'm wrong, why can't I hit it? Shoot me three volleys first."
Dunzi immediately observed and aimed through a telescope.
Although the Shenwei Army's mortars are also called mortars, their manufacturing accuracy is far inferior to the mortars in Li Yunlong's hands. It is too difficult to find a god-gunner, and the only way to make up for the lack of accuracy is with quantity.
Dunzi roared and fired three shots at once, and the hillside opposite was immediately filled with smoke. Da Biao saw through the telescope that the white tent was overturned, but the fleeing enemy was lying on the ground without any harm.
The guy yelled: "Magbi, shoot far away, Dunzi, shoot far away, have you forgotten that the enemy is coming down the mountain? The damn enemy is going to blow up my feet when he comes down the mountain, you made a mistake."
Dunzi picked up a wooden hammer and knocked on the barrels one by one. He then roared, "Load and fire." Seven shells flew out like a flock of startled sparrows.
As soon as Tachaer helped up the grassland Khan Mengge, he heard a whistling sound from the sky. He looked up and found that the artillery shells of the Shenwei Army were falling. He screamed, lay down, and pushed Mengge down the hillside with one palm.
Just now, when Mengge Khan threw his golden bowl of mare's milk into the air, the lotus-shaped golden bowl refracted the sunlight and pierced Dunzi's eyes. Dunzi searched for the tent and the golden canopy behind him and immediately rewarded him with three artillery shells.
At that time, he was already walking down the mountain with big strides. The explosion of the shells from a long distance away only frightened him and caused him to inhale some dust.
This time, it's enough for him to drink a pot.
Zhang Dabiao saw the shells flying out and immediately raised his telescope to look. This volley finally caught the enemy who was going down the mountain. He was overjoyed and shouted: "Hit it, hit it. Come on, rush over to check the results later."
Then, Da Biao called on his brothers to pick up their muskets and fight.
After Zhang Zhi's cavalry joined the battlefield, the critical situation on the left wing of the Shenwei Army was immediately changed. Due to the concentrated attack of artillery on the right wing, the Mongolian cavalry rear guard was completely covered by firepower and immediately showed signs of decline.
Coach Lai Chuanfang saw it clearly and immediately ordered the charge to start a counterattack on all fronts.
At this time, the Mongolian army sounded the retreat.
The Mongolian infantry and cavalry in the frontal attack were unable to break through the position after being repeatedly hit by the five horse-mounted projectiles and direct fire from the new third battalion. However, this group of enemies were ready to die and refused to retreat. The cavalry on the left and right sides left the battlefield with their flags dragged behind them.
After the artillery of the Shenwei Army was freed up, they changed the direction of their firing and attacked the enemy head-on, causing the Mongolian army's position to collapse immediately.
Lai Chuanfang led several main generals to report the battle situation with a smile. Zhao Yulin said: What's the point of reporting? He has seen it all. Attack, target Yunzhou City, attack.
Lai Chuanfang quickly dispatched the three armed forces to take action.
Zhang Dabiao and his brothers are still searching for spoils on the opposite hillside.
A beautifully decorated tent was actually completely empty. There were no dead bodies or objects where the shells had hit. Only a few craters and three large pools of blood were left on the ground.
Dunzi picked up a deformed golden bowl and brought it to Zhang Dabiao in a depressed mood, saying: I picked up a golden bowl to make up for my mistake.
Da Biao threw the golden bowl to Yu Hou and said: All the spoils must be returned to the public.
