Chapter 992 One battle will determine the outcome(1/2)

After the distance was close, the situation of artillery bombardment became one-sided!

Liu Shenghong's 8-pounder cannon poured out the fury of revenge.

"Boom, boom, boom..." The sound of cannons rumbled, and the sound of cannons shook the sky.

Every minute, dozens of flaming iron projectiles viciously smashed into the Rakshasa artillery positions.

Although the Rakshasa have two 12-pounder cannons, they can cause some casualties to the new army from time to time.

However, although heavy artillery is powerful, its rate of fire is very slow.

Gradually, the Rakshasa artillery brigade, which suffered heavy losses in the artillery battle, could no longer hold its strength.

"Boom!" Suddenly, the powder barrels piled up by the Rakshasa people were smashed into pieces by the red iron balls, and a chain reaction of explosions occurred.

Amidst the flames, huge mushroom clouds rose into the sky, and white smoke enveloped the entire Rakshasa artillery position.

Liu Shenghong looked at this scene in astonishment, but despite his joy, he still did not forget to command the artillery to launch a counterattack.

Through the monocular telescope, Yuzhu had already seen the explosion of the Rakshasa artillery position.

Hum hum, the Rakshasa people's old habit of seeming to be shrewd but careless and not respecting the laws of science really goes back a long way!

The explosion was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

The Rakshasa artillerymen who were not killed by their own gunpowder barrels threw down their artillery pieces and scurried away.

Today, Yuzhu is already a famous commander with great combat experience. He did not rush to issue an order for a general attack, but ordered the line infantry in the second and third towns to advance in unison.

Without the protection of infantry, the exposed artillery is a piece of cake for the cavalry.

Yuzhu's intention was obvious, with the line of infantry in front to protect the artillery as they continued to move forward.

The artillery of the Rakshasa people has been defeated. Now, it is the turn of the main force of the Fourteenth Army to enjoy the joy of being beaten and unable to fight back!

The Rakshasa artillery brigade was defeated like a mountain. Old Fourteen could only stare in despair, unable to do anything.

If it were the firearms camp of the Qing Dynasty, Old Fourteen could draw a sword and hack to death a few deserters to establish his authority.

However, during the chaos of war, the general manager in charge of translation disappeared.

Really terrible!

The infantry line of the New Army, amidst the crisp and rhythmic drumbeats, fiercely pressed against the Manchu-Mongolian coalition forces with the overwhelming force of Mount Tai.

I have no choice but to risk my life!

Old Fourteen is not the indecisive Old Eight, he has always been bold and courageous!

"Brush!" Old Fourteen drew his sword, pointed it at the thin line of the new army, and shouted loudly, "Kill!"

Good guy, Old Fourteen took the lead and rushed out on horseback. He is indeed Kang Mazi’s good son!

The power of role models is infinite.

Old Fourteen didn't say to rush out for me, but set an example and took the lead in rushing out.

Tens of thousands of elite Manchurian Eight Banners cavalry also urged their horses and rushed out.

Success or failure depends on this!

Either the Eight Banners cavalry overran the thin front of the New Army, or they could only endure the artillery bombardment without being able to fight back.

Yuzhu deliberately placed the infantry in front of the artillery. How could Old Fourteen not know his sinister intentions?

After all, Artillery Co-Commander Liu Shenghong had no actual combat experience in large corps operations. When he noticed that the enemy's cavalry was rushing towards him, he couldn't help but panic. He didn't know what to do.

Fortunately, Yuzhu's order was delivered in time.

Yuzhu ordered Liu Shenghong to set up artillery on the spot and launch a bombardment on the spot.

It is worth mentioning that the muzzles of the guns are always raised to an elevation angle of 45 degrees to avoid accidentally injuring one's own people.

This is quite bullying!

On Old Fourteenth's side, the firearm battalion's cannons are very light, but their range is also ridiculously short.

When they were seven or eight hundred meters apart, the firearms battalion's cannons were like fireworks. They looked colorful but were actually useless.

The infantry provides cover in the front, and the artillery provides fire support from behind. This is the serious way of fighting in World War I!

Yuzhu clearly saw Old Fourteen's handsome flag and moved forward quickly. He couldn't help but sigh softly, Old Fourteen was out of luck!

The volley is not a bow and arrow, and it consumes almost no physical energy.

In other words, as long as Yuzhu is willing, he can accompany Lao Sisi to shoot from dawn to dusk.

Drawing the bow and releasing the arrow is different. According to Yuzhu's own calculations, no matter how powerful a warrior is, he can only draw the bow twenty times in a row at most.

It can be seen that the replacement of bows and crossbows by muskets is completely in line with the laws of war.

"Pah, pah, pah..." Amidst the continuous gunfire, the Northwest Eight Banners Cavalry, who were originally comrades in arms, fell to the guns of the new army one after another.

There is no sympathy or pity in war, only winners and losers!

Taking advantage of the powerful cover of the infantry, Liu Shenghong commanded the artillery and launched another revenge bombardment.

"Boom boom boom boom..."

A flaming red iron ball that jumps randomly can disrupt the enemy's formation within a radius of at least 40 meters. How many dozens of flaming red iron balls are there?

The attacking Eight Banners soldiers were completely disrupted by the dense iron balls.

"Boom..." A big iron ball happened to roll over a horse's leg. The horse immediately became lame in one leg and jumped around in pain, throwing the knight on its back out.

The jumping war horses blocked the path of the horses behind them, and the knights on the horses had to rein in their horses and turn around.

However, at this moment, dozens more flaming iron projectiles were thrown at the knights, and the process started over and over again.

The Eight Banners Cavalry, which luckily managed to break through the artillery bombardment, was shot to the ground by a dense volley of gunfire before it could even rejoice for a second.

Unlike the heroic performance of the Sanyin Nuoyan tribe, even the most elite Eight Banners cavalry can only withstand a maximum casualty rate of 10%.

As more and more bodies fell in front of the new army's line, the morale of the so-called Eight Banners force also dropped to the bottom.

At this moment, a 6-pound artillery shell hit the flagpole of the old fourteenth commander's flag by coincidence.

"Kacha." With a sound, Old Fourteen's commanding flag fell.

Good guy, Shuai Qi was interrupted. This is really an ominous sign!

"Failed, defeated!"

"Run quickly!"

The negative connotation of Shuaiqi’s collapse is truly astonishing!

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Because if the Fourteenth wants to flexibly command an army of 200,000, the commander's flag plays a crucial role.

During the Battle of Liaoshen, the commanders and fighters of the Third Battalion of the 21st Regiment of the 7th Division of the 3rd Column in Dongye suddenly attacked the headquarters of the enemy's 9th Corps located in the small village "Hu's Shack" and destroyed all radio antennas, causing the entire Liao Corps to be paralyzed.

Uh-huh, Old Fourteen's handsome flag was smashed, which is equivalent to the radio antenna, everything is finished.

Seeing that the old fourteenth's handsome flag was broken, Yuzhu seized the opportunity and called Lu Wu, who had been recharging his energy.

"Take all your men and horses and bite the old fourteen to the death. You want to see people alive, and you want to see the corpse even if you die!"

"yes."

"Lu Wu, listen carefully. It is better to chase Yu Yong after the poor bandits and not to pretend to be a scholar." Yuzhu specifically told Lu Wu that he must fight against the pursuit of the fourteenth man and not let him go easily.

"Yes, please don't worry, Chief Mountain. Even if you chase him to the end of the world, you will still see people alive and dead bodies."

Lu Wu had been holding back for a long time. After receiving the order, he immediately ordered all the officers and soldiers in the first town to get ready and mount their horses to attack.

In terms of riding skills, the officers and soldiers in the first town were definitely not as good as the well-trained Eight Banners soldiers and Mongolians.

However, to chase the defeated army, the first town is more than enough!

As we all know, the cost of chasing down defeated troops is the least and the gain is the greatest!

"Brothers, draw your sword and kill with me!" Lu Wu took the lead and rushed out, followed by thousands of troops, who also rushed out.

Seeing the frightened Eight Banners soldiers, they all turned around and ran away. Yuzhu silently put down the monocular telescope in his hand.

Uh-huh, Old Fourteen's situation is over and his defeat is certain!

After this defeat, even if Old Fourteen was lucky enough to escape the pursuit, it would be difficult for him to make a comeback.

"Order, the general attack begins!"

"Didi-did-didi-didi..." The loud charge horn finally sounded.

When the commanders at the grassroots level heard the charge call, they quickly ordered: "All of you, bayonets on, charge with me!"

"Rush..."

"Kill..."

The New Army soldiers, carrying rifles with bayonets in their hands, ferociously pounced on the enemy troops on the opposite side like tigers descending from the mountain.

"Oh, my Ama..."

"Run quickly..."
To be continued...
