【Chapter 260】This is a disaster!
[Chapter 260] One goes up and the other goes down, a catastrophe!
(0260)
【Today's fourth update is delivered!】
"Old Wang, why are you stunned?" Xu Xingxia asked casually.
He was much calmer than Wang Qinian for everything in front of him. The continuous fall of Tatar cavalry was exactly what he expected and what he expected. He worked hard to form a chariot and artillery battalion, wasn’t it just for this result? He spent so much money and so much energy, and if there was no obvious effect, how could it be possible?
In fact, before the emergence of modern weapons such as heavy machine guns and tanks, the role of cavalry on the battlefield was not completely eliminated. No matter how excellent the performance of the Minnie gun is, it is also a pre-installed gun. Its poor shooting rate is destined to be unable to completely end the historical fate of the cavalry. Even in World War II, cavalry is still a very important type of troops.
However, Gugler made a fatal mistake here, that is, to launch a frontal attack with light cavalry, and there is no way. Exploring a frontal attack on the queue equipped with Minni guns is simply suicide. This is purely because Gugler himself seeks death, not how clever his strategy is. Of course, Gugler did not know how powerful Minni bullets were. He estimated that the White Army was equipped with ordinary muskets.
"Master Qianhu, after the defeat in this battle, I am afraid that the Helejin tribe will come out in full swing. Mayor Qianhu be asked to prepare early and achieve another success. If the Helejin tribe can be severely damaged again, this Tatar tribe will probably withdraw from the Bayannur Plain and move westward. This is a great thing!" Wang Qinian said with great anticipation.
"I will work hard." Xu Xingxia nodded and said confidently.
On the surface, Wang Qinian's words seemed to be contradictory. Why did the Tartars of the Hellejin tribe just suffered a heavy blow? According to the general idea, after being injured, the most important thing to do is to find a place to hide quietly and lick the wound. The wound has not been licked yet, so how can you find the enemy to take revenge?
However, Wang Qinian's words were absolutely correct. This is true for the Hellerjin tribe. They had no time to lick the wounds. They had to take advantage of their own strength and seize the time to attack Xu Xingxia in order to turn the defeat into victory and turn the tide. Even if they are unable to turn the tide and do not fall, they must at least weaken Xu Xingxia's strength. It would be even better if they can gather all their current strength and kill Xu Xingxia himself.
If they miss this opportunity, what awaits them will definitely be a catastrophe. Idiots know that after this battle, the confidence and morale of the White-Clothed Army will increase greatly. The strength of the White-Clothed Army will also be further enhanced. Xu Xingxia's own prestige will also be further strengthened. Xu Xingxia's own power will definitely be more concentrated. Once the power of the White-Clothed Army increases to a certain extent, it will inevitably launch an active attack on the Hellerjin tribe.
This is a very simple principle of interchange of offense and defense. If the Hellerjin tribe does not take the initiative in combat in its own hands, as time goes by, the White Army will have to take the initiative in combat. By that time, the situation of the Hellerjin tribe will be even more dangerous. To be more specific, the Hellerjin tribe must launch an attack at the end of this year or early next year, otherwise, it will be too late to say anything after this time.
The most feared thing about the nomadic peoples fighting with the Central Plains army is the rise and fall of one another. If the Han army is always weak, there is no problem. However, if the Han army shows signs of rising, the nomadic people will be in trouble. The delayed time, the more beneficial it will be to the Han people. It seems that Li Jing swept the Turks in the early Tang Dynasty, which is a typical example of the rise and fall of one another. In Baqiao, the Turks did not continue to attack and let Li Shimin go. As a result, what awaited them was the crazy counterattack of the Tang army decades later. In the end, the Turks were almost dispersed.
With Xu Xingxia's personality, I'm afraid she will do more than Li Jing. If she had the power to take the initiative, Xu Xingxia would never be in her nest, and he would definitely take the initiative. At that time, the war would burn to the door of the Hellerjin Tribe. In order to avoid this worst situation, the Hellerjin Tribe had to take a gamble.
...
"Bang bang bang!"
"Bang bang bang!"
"Bang bang bang!"
The gunshots continued, and a burst of sounded.
More Minnie bombs poured over, and more Tartar cavalry fell down straight. There were constant war horses pounced down, constant war horses flipped over, and constant Tartars were thrown out hard and rolled in pain on the ground. The dust in the sky flew up, covering the sky, as if they did not see this tragic scene.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The sound of explosive pack explosions is endless.
Balls of fire shone out from the dust and black smoke, illuminating the entire battlefield.
The explosion of each explosive pack will bring great chaos to the Tatar cavalry. Not to mention the casualties of the personnel, it is very difficult to completely appease the frightened war horses. The loud bang of the explosive pack has brought great damage to the Tatars' war horses. Some war horses have completely lost control. No matter how their masters control, they just run around desperately, and some even irritably throw their masters down and run away by themselves.
On the battlefield, Minnie bombs were flying everywhere. No one knew where the Minnie bombs would fly and what targets they would hit. No matter which direction the Tatar cavalry attacked, they would be shot by Minnie bombs. Even if they retreated backwards, Minnie bombs would roar and knock them to the ground from behind.
Looking at everything in front of him with a hollow look, Gugler no longer had the desire to scream. Now he felt that his mind was a little blank and a little painful. He tried hard to calm himself down and judged what was going on, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not calm down. He saw everything in front of him, but could not think about the most fundamental reason behind all this.
In a very short time, his troops lost at least three or four hundred people. This was already half a cup of tea. It took time to count the losses of the troops, especially in such a chaotic situation. In this half cup of tea, it was estimated that another three or four hundred people fell under the guns of the White Army. Such a casualty ratio was absolutely unprecedented. For a moment, he really couldn't figure out what was going on.
...
The scattered Tatar cavalry still suffered strong attacks from muskets and explosive packs. As long as the Tatar cavalry is still attacking, as long as their figures are still inside the guns and cannons of the White Army, the attack of the White Army will not stop. The White Army's musketeers, or the gunners, are continuing to fire ammunition outside.
The cost of Minnie bombs is almost negligible. One tael of silver can make thousands of Minnie bombs. After a fierce battle, the cost of Minnie bombs is only dozens of taels of silver. Xu Xingxia can afford such a cost. As for the cost of explosive packs, it seems that the cost is not high. A explosive pack can cost at most one tael. As long as one explosive pack can top a Tartar, it is worth it. Xu Xingxia will not be stingy.
The Tatar cavalry was very scattered, and the shooting of the white-clothed army would have no unified target. Basically, the musketeers would shoot wherever there was an enemy. The Tatar cavalry would shoot at whom the Tatar cavalry was closest to him. Of course, the hit rate of such shooting was greatly reduced. However, it was very difficult for the Tatar cavalry to get close.
In front of the guns and cannons of the White Army, the Tatar cavalry had to hide from each other. They wanted to find an opportunity to attack, but unfortunately found that the closer they got, the greater the possibility of being hit. The distance between thirty and forty feet was already very unsafe. But at a distance between thirty and forty feet, their bows and arrows could not do anything to the other party. The arrows they shot fell down halfway. Not to mention that the other party had wooden boards to resist, even if there was no side van, their arrows could not effectively cause effective damage to the Ming army.
It can be said that the Tatars have never been so embarrassed. They were completely beaten by the White Army to only have the ability to resist and have no power to fight back. They wanted to attack, but they could not bear such a large casualty. If they wanted to retreat, they were unwilling to give up. This was the first time they faced the head-on battle like this and were repelled by the Ming army. This caused their self-esteem to be severely hit and they refused to retreat like this. As a result, in such a dilemma, the number of casualties of the Tatars continued to rise.
Of course, there were also some Tatar cavalry who continued to rush towards the White-clothed Army without fear of death. They were all the bravest Tatars, almost the kind that lost their minds. As long as they entered the state of fighting, they would fall into madness and attack the enemy regardless of everything in front of them. For them, there were only two ways to end the battle. One was that all the enemies were killed. The other was that they were killed themselves. However, the consequences of these people were extremely tragic. The White-clothed Army was to be eliminated, which was the one who wanted to eliminate them.
"quack!"
"Everyone comes up with me!"
Suddenly, someone roared wildly.
It turned out that this person was Gugler's guard captain, named Bag.
This is a big and thick Tatar cavalry, and has always been a typical example of rushing and rushing. His body was even stronger than Gugler. His exposed skin was almost bronze, which shows how strong his muscles were. The front-line troops had no progress, so Bag could not hold back. He rushed forward desperately and wanted to supervise the battle himself.
"Bag!"
"Come back for me!"
Gugler screamed in anger!
Bag is his sworn brother. The two have been together since they had memories. They have experienced many fierce battles together. There have been many times when they were together, either Bag carried him Gugler out of a pile of dead people, or Gugler carried him Gugler out of a pile of dead people. The relationship between the two is even deeper than that of ordinary couples. When Bag rushed forward recklessly, Gugler's first feeling was that he was finished. In front of the guns and cannons of the White Army, Bagler was simply a natural target! Even if he wanted to die, there was no such thing as death!
However, Bag, who was angry, did not hear Gugele's call at all. He was angry by the poor performance of the Tatar cavalry on the front line. It would be too embarrassing that so many Tatar cavalry could not do anything to the Ming army, which was several times smaller than his. If this matter was spread, his good brother Gugele would not be able to look up and see people in the future. This is something he would never allow. He must turn the situation around!
Bag rushed forward desperately, constantly waving the sharp long sword in his hand, and ordered the Tatar cavalry beside him to attack with him. If someone violated the order, he would be killed by his long sword on the spot. In a very short time, Bag killed four or five Tatar cavalry trying to retreat, and blood kept dripping from the long sword. Driven by Bag, the desperate Tatar cavalry had to continue rushing forward. As a result, the musketeers of the White Army immediately discovered his existence. Such a fierce Tatar, the White Army would not be able to not notice it!
"Destroy him!" Xia Kewu shouted!
"Kill him!" Wang Xia said concisely.
"Because him!" Liu Heng was not willing to be outdone.
The leaders of the White Army's musket team all set their sights on Bagh.
Nearly a hundred muskets were aimed at the direction of Bag's attack.
"Bang bang bang!"
The dense gunshots rang out like beans.
Dozens of muskets were all aimed at Bag's figure, and the lethality can be imagined.
The dense Minnie bomb flew over, and Bag's huge body fell directly from the horse's back, rolling on the ground, stirring up a lot of dust. The Tatar cavalry beside him was also knocked down by at least ten people. How could the Tatar cavalry be stopped by the Tatar cavalry? Those Tatar cavalry who escaped by luck turned their horses without thinking and fled back in a mess.
Bagh, who was thrown down hard, was still awake. After he rolled a few times, he was not unconscious yet. At least five more Minnie shots hit Bagh, making him dying. However, Bagh was indeed full of vitality. After lying down for a while, he stood up again. He was covered in blood and covered in mud, standing straight in the middle of the battlefield. However, what was waiting for him was not a heroic cheer, but a more violent counterattack.
"Grass! Not dead yet?" Zhang Feng was immediately angry.
"I'm paralyzed, go to death!" Mao Shisan cursed fiercely.
"Brothers, kill him! Trow him into a sieve!" Lin Dacheng was also angry.
If you have been taken seriously by the White Army's Musketeers, you will not die. You are simply despising the power of the Musketeers! You are paralyzed and you can't kill you with one shot, and you will get ten more shots! You will see if you die! You are sorrowful, you just stand like this and never fall down!
"Bang bang bang!"
Another fierce volleyball shooting.
It seemed that countless holes were opened on Bag's body, and blood kept pouring out.
From the outside, Bag was really beaten into a sieve this time. There were at least a dozen Minnie shots that shot him. He tried hard to control his body and prevent himself from falling down, but his body had lost control. His consciousness gradually lost. In the end, he knelt heavily on his knees and slowly pounced forward. After falling down this time, Bag never stood up again. He was hit by more than a dozen Minnie shots, even the Daluo Golden Immortal could not survive.
"Bag is dead!"
"Bag is dead!"
"Bag is dead!"
Some Tatar cavalry screamed in horror.
The other Tatar cavalry hurriedly retreated and ran faster than the rabbit.
Even tough figures like Bag were buried under the guns of the Ming army. If they continued to rush forward, wouldn’t they be beaten into sieve? The Tatars were also afraid of death. Even though they knew it was a matter of dying, most people would not do it. In the battle just now, those Tatars who did not take death seriously had found their own destination, which was death. The remaining Tatars were a little afraid of death. So, after Bag died, no Tatars dared to rush up. The gunshots on the battlefield temporarily quieted down.
Seeing his sworn brother fall fragile and helplessly under the guns of the White Army, Gugler felt that his heart was falling eagerly, falling into an endless ice cellar. He felt his hands and feet were cold, and his mind was blank. However, he had no time to be sad. Because there were more important things that required him to make a painful decision - whether to continue fighting, or temporarily withdraw from the battle, or simply withdraw his troops and break away from the Ming army?
If the battle continues, casualties are inevitable. The combat power of the Ming army is indeed too fierce. Gugele could not imagine why there were such a strong army in the Ming army. He roughly estimated that the losses under his command would definitely not be less than 800 people. This was still killed in battle, and I don’t know how many injured there are! If we continue to fight, who knows how many casualties will be paid?
However, if the battle is withdrawn, the previous casualties will be in vain. Withdrawal from the battle temporarily, the combat effectiveness of the Ming army will not decline. On the contrary, the morale of the winning Ming army will definitely increase greatly. If the Tatars attack again, they will definitely suffer losses again. The heroes will not suffer losses in front of them! God knows when will they have the opportunity to take revenge? Perhaps, there will never be such a chance.
The only way to avoid the expansion of losses was to withdraw the troops cleanly and completely, and directly withdraw the troops to the Hellejin tribe and no longer contact the Ming army. However, this was exactly what Gugler couldn't accept the most. He came with high spirits and hope, but he threw away his armor and went back in a defeat. What's that? He couldn't imagine what kind of treatment he would have when he went back.
If Helleghin killed him, maybe Gugre felt a little better. However, he was worried that Helleghin would not kill him, and would only find opportunities to constantly ridicule him, so that he and his subordinates would live in humiliation forever. Who told him to humiliate Sobud and Paroge? They would definitely pay back twice as much as possible when they exchanged rituals.
For a moment, Gugle was completely lost and didn't know what to do. He was in a dilemma and even had the urge to commit suicide. He was really in pain. Could it be that the Tatars were finished like this? Did the Tatars retreat in shame? Could it be that the Ming army was so impossible to defeat?
