Chapter 336 Breaking the city, there is no blood (6)
The musketeers who were the first to complete the loading of the charity division heard a drum sound after the loading, and they quickly understood the meaning of the snare drum.
This is an order: fire at will after loading, then abandon the gun and draw a short sword or axe, and follow the sides of the spear formation to attack.
This is an offensive command, and different drum sounds have different meanings.
For example, sometimes the drum sound means to continue loading, and then shoot on both sides of the spearmen and load it in place, and move forward alternately.
For example, sometimes the drum sounds mean retreating to the wrong wings, hiding under the spear and attacking those who may rush into the spear formation with a short sword.
For example, sometimes the drum sound means retreating into the middle of the two spearmen phalanxes and continuing to load and obey the orders and shoot.
These are all different. The general needs to make a decision. As a soldier, you only need to listen to orders.
But unlike the soldiers of other princes, they knew a little about why they did this, because in addition to learning characters, there would be people who would tell them these things... Sometimes they would also talk about the techniques of farming.
Many musketeers looked at the Yue people opposite the smoke and thought to themselves: "This must be because Meng Sheng found that the Yue people had disintegrated and were ready to rush into the enemy's formation to fight. At this time, carrying the musket was useless, so they had to fight with courage."
So, as ordered, he hooked the fuse, fired the last shot, threw the heavy musket in place, quickly retreated, and drew a short sword on both sides of the spear array to cover.
As these musketeers thought, Meng Sheng did find that the Yue people had disintegrated.
The people who charged in the front were brave men, but no matter how brave they were, they could not withstand the shooting of a lead bullet of one or two.
Meng Sheng is very sure of this because he has seen someone kill wild boars with this musket, and even wild boars with thick skin and flesh can be killed. What's more, can a brave man be stronger than a wild boar?
These brave Yue people began to run around in scattered ways, trying to avoid the front, but once they ran away, those who had finally won the courage behind them would also flee.
Meng Sheng knew that as a general, he should be good at seizing the opportunity of charge, counterattack, defense or flank support. Those who can seize the opportunity are qualified generals.
This time he carried the mission of the first field battle with the formation of the righteous army, and it was a sure victory battle, so he did not need to seek stability at all. He wanted to completely defeat the Yue people, let them escape in scattered places, and swim to prepare for the capture of the cavalry ambushed on both sides of the river bank.
So he ordered the drum to convey the meaning of the musketeer shooting at will and not loading it, and following the spearmen's wings to impact.
The drummer and flute player in the spear formation immediately played and beat the extremely fast military music. Along with the drum beats, the ink leader shouted loudly.
The soldiers in the spear formation picked up their spears, stepped on their feet, and pushed forward while trying to keep them flush.
They were surrounded by partners, most of their wings were elite Mozhe or infantrymen of the Yishi Army back then, and the front row was the brave men in the army.
It is not necessary that everyone is not afraid of death. It is enough to burst out fearless power by being sure that their partners are around them.
Not everyone can see the overall situation on the battlefield. All soldiers can see is within a few dozen steps in front of them. As long as the people around them have not disintegrated, as long as no one spreads the news of the defeat of the army, they can continue to reach the end of the world.
They could also see the front of the team, Meng Shengqu and others were holding short swords or short halberds, moving towards both sides, and covering the flanks with the musketeers, these people were walking in front of them.
This is actually forbidden because I was worried that the main general would be shot and killed, but Meng Sheng found that there was almost no archer on the other side, and his ability was not something that a small Yue noble could deal with. Which of the peasant soldiers was his opponent?
Even if it was the gentleman army of Yue people, Meng Sheng could fight against five with one, let alone these ordinary soldiers?
At this time, we will lead the way to make the entire brigade burst out with the greatest strength and defeat the Yue people at one time.
The Yue people charged too early, and the team had already been scattered, and it was impossible to fight against the spearmen.
The brave men who charged the fastest had already disintegrated. The musketeers beat the Yue people in the front row to sparsely. With one impact, each Yue people had to face six or seven spears.
As for the Yue people behind... they are not on the front line of the fight.
Meng Sheng held a short halberd and followed the drum beats and flute sounds. Finally, he waved his short halberd and shouted, "Impact!"
The drummer and flute player next to him immediately conveyed the order. The distance of more than ten steps is the best distance for impact, which can maintain physical strength and fight. The sprint of a person usually increases the speed to the maximum in about 30 meters.
Although you don't need to run so fast, just a quick impact, it is enough to penetrate all the power that blocks them.
Several brave men of Yue who had never escaped looked at Ru Lin's spear and were panicked. After the spear approached, they subconsciously rolled to the ground, trying to avoid the spear, but before they got up, they were stepped on the feet by the spearman who began to attack and could not stand up at all.
One of the few Yue people wanted to rush in from both wings, but the cross-section between the three spearmen phalanxes was already extremely wide. Unless they were originally on both sides, it would be difficult to run to both sides after the battle.
The people on the side just approached, Meng Sheng held the halberd, bent his sword, and immediately killed these people.
Meng Sheng thought to himself that if he was truly fighting with all his might, there would be cavalry protection on both wings, and there were also some You Shi swords and shields who were good at killing and fighting, so there was no problem. Now it was only possible to see if these spearmen could defeat the Yue people in one fell swoop.
The remaining Yue people had already fought with the center of the spearmen. The Yue people with scattered formations did not dare to rush forward on the front, and continued to subconsciously spread to both sides. However, the two wings of the spearmen square array arranged in the shape of the Pin character were still spearmen.
Originally, the morale of the army had dispersed, and when the spearmen rushed like this, these not-so-eliminate Yue people could not hold on.
Rulin's spear cannot be broken on the front, and even the chariots dare not directly attack the spear and sprinters formed, let alone these people.
Without a crossbow, there should be no gaps in the square formation.
Not to mention that there are no artillery, you cannot directly blast the square formation.
After a brief battle, more than a hundred Vietnamese soldiers were stabbed to death by spears, and the spear soldiers had a slightly concave surface in their formation, which quickly leveled up, and few casualties continued to rush forward.
Yue Ren, who had long been frightened, only relied on his last bravery, but Yue Ren's noble hero Feng knew that he had miscalculated and could not rush through it.
I thought that there were not many people on the other side, and maybe they were not elites, but I thought that these people were entering with spears, and they were like Kuaiji Mountain. How could they stop them?
Seeing that he was defeated, he didn't care about his decency and threw away the short sword in his hand and ran towards the river.
When he ran, the Yue people around him saw that the main general had fled, and they threw down their weapons. The close servants and private soldiers around him took off their armor, threw away their weapons, and ran towards the riverside on both sides.
The people of Yue were good at water. They established their country from swamps and lakes everywhere. Almost everyone could swim. Seeing that they could not rush to the battlefield, they would die under those sharp spears if they didn't escape.
Their escape caused a chain reaction. The Yue people who had finally assembled into a formation also fled one after another and never wanted to continue fighting.
Almost as soon as the battle came, the terrified Yue people had disintegrated.
This is not a death place, because Yue people can swim, so they do not have the intention to live to death.
Meng Sheng pulled out the short halberd from a Yueman armored soldier. When he found that the Yueman retreated, he immediately sent an order: "Run and chase!"
This is a very rare order. If such order is issued, it means giving up the formation, which is almost impossible to occur in the war.
But now, the Yue people have no ability to resist at all, so they will rush hard so that they cannot retreat and gather again.
The drum sound suddenly changed, and the spearman and the musketeers holding short swords on both sides immediately roared in groups of four or five, and rushed towards the Yue people according to their usual friends.
More than 80 people were killed by muskets, and nearly 200 casualties were killed in the battle. However, the morale was already extremely low and it dispersed as soon as it rushed.
The righteous masters of five people, ten people, rushed forward desperately, stabbing a short sword or spear behind the fleeing Yue people.
Groups of ridges fled to the river, took off their armor and jumped into the river, swimming towards the shore, as fast as a fish.
Every time he waved his arm, he would rush out for two or three steps. Some of the righteous masters could also know how to water, but they did not pursue them, but only chased the Yue people at the passes tied out of the two rivers.
Some yue people fled to the river and bypassed the righteous army and fled backwards. However, the musketeers who had already ambushed in the reeds rushed out with a short sword and captured them in an instant.
The nobles of Yue people showed their heads from the river and had already reached the other side. There were a few people around him, all of whom were their own private soldiers.
He looked at it with lingering fear, thinking that the Mohist school was invincible, and when he went back, he was honest, I was afraid that the king might not believe it. If there were ten thousand soldiers, the gentleman army might not be able to compete with it...
Fortunately, these Mozhe soldiers did not swim, so they might be guessing that they could not swim, so they did not swim and chased after them.
Just as I was glad, I saw several people riding horses suddenly jumping out of the bushes in the distance, holding spears in their hands, and stepping on the iron tool called stirrups by the Mo family. The birds had seen Mos riding such horses on a horse in the tenth land, so I knew what this was.
He exclaimed secretly, not expecting that there were ambushes on the other side of the river, and his armor had faded and his hands had no weapons, so he could only escape.
How can a man run a fast horse in a short time?
The bird saw only one person riding on the horse, holding a spear under his armpit, and gently supporting his arm, piercing into the back of a fleeing Yue man in front of him like lightning.
The spear came out of his chest, and the man immediately let go of the spear early and no longer wanted it. Then he pulled out the short sword from his saddle and rushed towards the fleeing Yue people.
The birds grew up in Yue, and where have they ever seen people who could ride horses? I don’t know how many people were, but they only heard the neighing of horses and the screams of the runaway Yue people.
In the midst of horror, I heard someone shouting in Yue, saying that he was squatting down on the spot to avoid death!
During the rushing, the shout became more and more attractive. Even if there were still screams, it could not cover the sound.
The eagle sighed and knew that he was lucky today. He didn't expect that he would be destroyed in a few days and would be destroyed in a city?
…………
Two hours later, the battlefield was cleaned up. After counting the nine-number-good men of the army, they counted the results.
More than 1,400 Yue people were killed and injured by more than 500 people, most of whom were killed in the collapse.
About 800 others were captured, and the generals of the Yue people were captured alive. There were almost no Yue people who fled. Only dozens of people might have hid in the reeds and didn't know where to escape.
On Meng Sheng's side, no one died, only two were injured because of the musket explosion, and more than ten were injured in the battle.
Meng Sheng sighed inwardly that this was another shocking battle. No one on his side died and defeated the thousand four hundred Yue people. Now the soldiers cheered, and there was an unshakable momentum.
This not only increases the confidence of the soldiers, but also shocks some people in the Teng area, so that they dare not move lightly, and use this as a deterrent.
He called a cavalry and wrote the statistics on the paper, and ordered him urgently: "Go to Tengdi immediately and tell Shi that the Yishi won the great victory and no one died!"
Chapter completed!
