Chapter 498 The bloody battle in Zhuxian Town (3) [two chapters in one]

After the battle formation where Fenghua Club was located was forcibly dispersed by the Jin people, who suffered more than two or three times the cost and even more casualties.

Not only Feng Hua Hui, a rookie deputy teacher, became the target of the Jin people's attacks at that time.

According to a characteristic of ancient warfare, his general flag with the word "wind" also became a key target of attack by the Jin people.

After all, in ancient wars, among the highest and highest achievements, there was a saying of killing the general and seizing the flag.

Therefore, when the formation was broken, except for the young man in silver armor, he went straight towards Fenghua Hui, and a king versus king came.

There were two more cavalrymen, kicking and beating their horses as they rushed toward the big flag.

At this time, this big flag was still being protected by a flag-protecting team composed of five guards, with one person holding the flag and four people guarding it.

Towards the left, another infantry company's battle formation was rapidly retreating.

Because for the soldiers of the 3rd Infantry Division, as long as this flag is still flying, their acting deputy division commander is still with them.

He saw the golden cavalry behind him charging forward.

The captain of the flag-protecting team made a prompt decision and asked his comrades holding the flag to continue retreating.

He led the remaining three teammates, holding up the muskets that had been hastily fixed bayonets but had no time to reload, and formed a thin battle line in front of the two cavalry.

After three to five seconds at most, the flag-bearer seemed to feel something and looked back while continuing to run.

He could immediately see that not too far behind him, four comrades had fallen to the ground.

One of the two golden knights had fallen off his horse and was lying on the ground, with a musket with a bayonet thrust into his lower abdomen. The other knight, bleeding from his waist, continued to rush towards him.

The four hooves were galloping rapidly, and they had even rushed to a position only five or six meters behind them.

A throwing ax came out of his hand and was already spinning towards his neck. In his haste, the flag-bearer only had time to twist his head.

The next second later, the flag-bearer felt that half of his neck had been split open by a sharp ax blade, and the surging blood dyed half of his body red in an instant.

The only thing I could be thankful for was that at the same time, the golden cavalryman flipped off his horse with a sway of his body.

It was the chasseurs in a battle formation next door who had finally filled their hands with an improved Brown Bess musket with a rifled barrel.

While turning his head to look for valuable targets to kill, he discovered the crisis of the flag guarding team here.

It's a pity that even though he aimed and fired as fast as he could, he still couldn't save the flag-bearer's life.

But it was also thanks to his shot that the dying flag-bearer used his last strength to insert the flag with an iron-tipped lower end into the wheat field on the ground.

After completing such an action, he died with a smile on his face and his arms around the flagpole.

He died standing, supported by the flagpole.

In fact, at this time, there was no longer a living comrade within a hundred meters of him.

Or to put it another way, before the war started in the morning, there were still more than 300 people in this guard battalion. After the formation was broken, in addition to about fifty lucky people, they managed to escape to the next door.

Friendly forces are in battle.

Including their deputy division commander who needed to be guarded, everyone else died in the battle.

In order to achieve such a result, the Jin soldiers lost at least 800 men.

So much so that after killing all the Song people around them, this one-thousand-man team of kidnappers only had more than a hundred people left. They looked at the corpses of their own personnel all over the ground, as well as those who had lost their masters.

War horse.

There are also the captains who are trying to get gold, and according to the truth, they can be promoted quickly, but they all end up dying in battle.

These battle-hardened Jurchens were at a loss for a moment, wondering whether they could win such a damn battle.

In the end, it was a surviving centurion who reacted first.

After knowing that even their Shangguan and the fifth prince of the Jin Kingdom were killed in the battle, even if they defeated the Song people in this battle, they would not end well.

He let out a howl like a wounded beast, and led his men to continue charging towards the next Song Dynasty battle formation that seemed to be endless and endless.

But in the process of continuing to charge, they obviously only need to control the horse's head a little.

He could easily knock over the Song people's flag and the Song people who were standing and dying.

But God knows why? Anyway, when they saw the corpse of the Song Dynasty man who was hugging the flagpole and dying with a smile, they instinctively avoided this target.

Let the flag of a rookie general representing Fenghuahui continue to fly on such a battlefield...

*****

Speaking of which! In fact, even if the battle flag with the word "wind" that represents the Fenghua Society fell down, except for the soldiers of the 3rd Infantry Division, which now has less than 4,000 soldiers, they would pay a little attention to it.

Other New Army officers and soldiers, as well as many netizens.

Even among the rookie netizens who were pulled over during this system mission like him, the two still surviving ones, Guifei and Chen Tang, didn't even have time to take a second look at him.

Without him, the two of them would be stuck in a difficult battle, unable to take care of him at all.

The imperial concubine's situation is a little better. She, Hu Biao, and the team leader are currently staying at the position of the central army, even if they are facing the impact of Wanyan Xiyin, who has broken his arm, and the main force of the kidnappers.

However, the Chinese army had three thousand troops fighting in formation. Although the fighting was fierce for a while, it was relatively safe.

Chen Tang, a rookie, is different, because the battle formation he is in is currently advancing.

Yes, that's right!

Even though the new army of the Song Dynasty faced an attack with twice the number of Jin troops, they still launched a counterattack.

To be more precise, they are the second and fourth infantry units. Since the war began, these two units have been recharging their strength without any loss in combat effectiveness.

Currently, battle formations are being formed one after another, and with the cooperation of each other, they are constantly advancing forward.

Because before the war, a group of netizens hastily reached a consensus that the desired result of this war is not just to defeat the Jin people.

According to the mission of the second phase of the system, they also asked the Jin people to completely withdraw their troops.

And in the battle, killing a golden coach failed to complete these two points.

If the Jin people suffered little loss, even if one hundred thousand cavalry survived after escaping, then as long as the Jin people regrouped afterwards.

There are still serious consequences of fighting them again instead of retreating.

Therefore, this battle must be a great victory, and the backbone of the Jin man must be broken in one battle.

Based on such a combat concept, the second and fourth infantry divisions need to continuously advance in this battle, all the way to the edge of the battlefield to surround all the Jin people.

It is impossible to completely annihilate the Jin people, who still have an army of more than ten to two hundred thousand.

But these Jin troops must be beaten until they lose the courage to fight for a long time and can only retreat to the north in despair.

It has to be said that using at most only 30% of the opponent's troops to surround an opponent that is three times more powerful is a tactic that is full of madness.

Of course, the process is also full of huge difficulties.

The problem is that they must achieve such a result before they can complete the requirements of the second phase of the system.

Therefore, no matter how difficult it is, Chen Tang, who is currently the deputy commander of the Second Infantry Division, knows that he must grit his teeth and keep moving forward...

"Ready, fire~"

Chen Tang, who was raising his voice, yelled out such a sentence.

Under such an order, the first row of nearly fifty musketeers fired almost forty-one or two muskets successfully.

Immediately, most of the thirty or so Jin infantry who were charging over were knocked to the ground.

The shields they held in their hands and the armor they wore had no defensive effect at all under the muzzle kinetic energy exceeding 2,000 joules.

Under such a wave of gunfire, the five or six golden men who survived only lived for two or three seconds longer.

Those were the soldiers who had just discovered that the muskets had not fired. As they were retreating, they pulled the hammer again, then quickly turned around and shot them, knocking them to the ground.

Twelve or thirteen seconds later, when these people had just retreated to the last row and stood up, they completed the refilling.

Chen Tang continued to raise his voice and shouted loudly: "Twenty steps forward, one, two, three...twenty; stop, prepare, fire~"

Under such an order, a new round of gunfire sounded, knocking down a group of golden soldiers blocking the front.

Throughout the entire process, he, as a deputy division commander, now assumed the responsibilities of a battalion and company-level junior officer.

There is no way! Facing the Jin army rushing towards them like a tide, it is quite difficult to just hold on, let alone the need to continuously push forward in the opposite direction like going upstream.

Even compared to the other 1st, 3rd, and 5th divisions, the 2nd and 4th divisions are veterans.

When the volley of guns opened fire, they fired fast and hard, and the small Folang machine guns fired from time to time; so much so that the golden men who rushed over were smashed to pieces as if they had hit a rock in the middle of the river.

However, in such a process, casualties also continue to occur.

After the war started, in less than three minutes, a guard company commander who was standing on the side of the first row of battle lines was nailed to death by a musket.

In such a situation, the deputy company commander spontaneously stepped forward.

As a result, the unlucky deputy company commander was on top for a mere twenty or thirty seconds before shouting "fire".

A wolf-fang arrow was accurately shot from his mouth, taking away his life.
