Tang Dynasty

Chapter 56: Suddenly (middle)

Views:

Obviously, the guards of the rear squad have also caught up to support. Although there are only more than two hundred usable combatants, it seems that there is a lot of momentum and scenes with the addition of the servants who came to wave the flag and make smoke;

These only combatants opened their bows and crossbows under Laoguan’s instructions, and fired at least hundreds of arrows in one burst. Most of them fell in the rear of the enemy, suddenly screaming and exclaiming. There were signs of fleeing and dispersal, and then the crossbow arrows that approached the volley became the last straw that overwhelmed the camel.

There have been enemies who are shaking and trying to turn away, and they quickly become a real overall defeat in a panic shouting. It is a pity that a small number of guard cavalry as an assault force have all rushed to meet and protect the general king. , Otherwise you can take advantage of the momentum to enter and pursue, and you can even further expand the results. At the very least, the enemy riders on the edge of the battlefield who have already turned their heads will not leave the team on the spot and run away for most of them.

Immediately he laughed at himself, "What kind of idle thoughts are you fooling around? You are not in your place, you are not looking for politics, otherwise you will easily provoke disgust, taboo, and jealousy. Potential trouble.

Although it was only a short and fierce encounter, it still caused a lot of corpses and wounded in a large area, and the blood from the big beach soaked the ground. The aftermath of these treatments happened to be Zhou Huai'an. Things are within the scope of the team's responsibility. Therefore, under his order, these rear squadmen who had caught up also began to clean the battlefield in accordance with the pre-arranged regulations, and also performed a follow-up role to search for corpses and rescue the wounded.

According to Zhou Huaian’s rough estimate, hundreds of enemies were killed on the spot, and two to three hundred people were captured. In hindsight, the number of enemies who were obviously unable to ambush and turned into strong attacks was actually They are not as superior as they have shown, but they have just taken advantage of the surprise attack and suddenness, and they are suppressed by the army of riding against the infantry.

Moreover, the tactical changes and sergeant qualities displayed by the two sides of the war can be said to be quite rough and lack of order; it can be said that apart from the bloody bravery and short-term brutality of the first battle, there are really not many bright spots and characteristics. However, with the level of training and command efficiency demonstrated by the soldiers on both sides this time, I'm afraid it can't support more subtle and complex tactical changes.

After all, this era is a peasant army that is born at the bottom of society and has very limited conditions and resources. In the short term, it is really impossible to expect more things.

And through the reports and feedback on the battlefield, Zhou Huaian also learned another thing, that is, the enemy riders who rushed into the battlefield also had hidden mysteries; for example, they only had the few people in the top row with armor, and the people behind them were. Few unprotected commoners and leather outfits, even horses and saddles are quite simple, it is simply the attributes of donkey dung eggs-the surface is shiny.

Despite this, the rush they launched hastily caused a lot of damage, confusion, and sway to the rebels in Stormrage Camp; they broke up the right sub-battalion directly, and almost led Wang Pan directly to the most powerful middle. The sub-campus was overwhelmed; so speaking of this battle, there was still a bit of mutual azure connotation.

"What a thief..."

Wang Pan, whose entire ankle was visibly swollen, sighed heavily on horseback.

"Almost folded here..."

"Thanks to the monk you, this time the top contributor..."

Then he turned around and said.

"What do you want after the city breaks the slope... Even though it's just for me."

At this time, the rebels who chased and surrounded the enemy on the battlefield finally solved the last remnants, screaming and screaming to force them to the roots of the city wall, slamming and chopping them into the shallow trenches, and forcing them to death. The remaining enemy soldiers knelt down and begged for mercy and surrender; then more volunteer soldiers, just like this, yelled and followed the scattered enemy soldiers, and rushed into Changle County together to continue their tail pursuit.

Zhou Huaian felt something was wrong for a while, but he couldn't do anything to stop them; after all, he was seen and ambushed before.

Fortunately, in the subsequent return, these enemies who remained in the city obviously did not have more ambushes and backhands, but almost kept running away from the garrisoned wall, and then opened the city gate from the other side, three to five. Fleeing in groups.

At this time, the rebels who entered the city began to pick up the abandoned loot by themselves, or searched around for hidden goods, and had no intention of pursuing them anymore, so they ran away for the opponent, and they were also defeated by this. The sudden battle of victory is temporarily painted with a rest that is not satisfactory.

It was not until Wang Pan brought the guard horse team into the city that they regrouped with the sound of trumpets and gongs to restore basic order.

The last wave of resistance was concentrated in the largest house near Chengzhong County. There were dozens of well-equipped people resisting in the negative corner, and they were all equipped with bows, arrows, knives and guns, and they depended on the location of the high wall. And when Zhou Huaian rushed past with the rear guard as a mobile support, the rebel soldiers who had been around and tried to attack several times in a short period of time had already piled a lot of corpses on the walls and doors. .

"Don't hurry up and throw these idiots aside for me..."

Seeing this scene, he could hardly help shouting out

"How can there be such a random attack..."

"The team is closing, immediately clear the court and open the distance..."

At this time, under the leadership of Lao Guan, the characteristic part-time job from the rear team-the fire-throwing soldier, plus the equipment that was newly developed but did not have time to play, can come in handy;

This is a sling catapult made of rope and bamboo knots, just like a large four-legged slingshot; although the strength of this thing is limited, it will be useless after dozens of times. The distance to put a hot charcoal jar is only 20 Because of the difference in handwork and operation, the accuracy is not so good; but at any rate, the source of the materials is convenient and wide, and it belongs to the throwing weapon that the rebels can use anytime and anywhere; and it can be carried on the roof or carried over the mountains in a portable way. . {This thing was once popular in the Southern Red Army's guerrillas in later history}

Under the rather powerful bamboo torsion ejection, several large cylinders of red-hot coarse charcoal were thrown in one after another, and suddenly amidst the cries of exclamation, screams and screams shrouded in the sky of sparks and soot, they ignited everywhere. All kinds of burns were burnt, and a lot of people fleeing from the smoke came out in the thick smoke of the fire; the smoked dusty faces were covered with singe, they almost all changed after a rush of resistance. Captives or fallen corpses.

The house that was just set alight can no longer be extinguished and saved in the ever-increasing fire; of course, in Zhou Huaian’s view, compared to the property and other gains that may have been burned in the house, it is a random attack. The lives paid down are obviously more precious.

Later, Wang Pan also drove over, because among the people who escaped and were captured, some people seem to have discovered and identified several important local figures; for example, a former county lieutenant who fled while most of the rebel army crossed the border. , The head of a local car and boat guild, and two big businessmen who have dedicated themselves to the local rebels. . . .

It seems that he has a lot of questions and thoughts that are about to fall on these people. (End of this chapter)
