Start: Datang Wanli a lonely city

Chapter 484 An Ordinary Battle ([-])

On the battlefield on the right wing of Zhuxian Town, as the third and fourth regiments finally came up to support, the battle here suddenly became more and more intense.

Nie Yun, this one can be regarded as a well-known company commander in the entire Third Infantry Division.

After quickly observing the situation in front of the battlefield, he immediately roared with a standard Kaifeng accent:
"Stop advancing, fire~"

Talk!The reason why Nie Yun is so famous in the third infantry division of the Song Dynasty New Army is not because of his amazing skills.

Or they have a noble background, and there are some important people in the family.

If this were the case, Nie Yun wouldn't be in the current new army that is eager for talents. He would just be a company commander in the third regiment.

The real reason is because of the blond hair and blue eyes of this guy, which is completely different from other people's appearance.

To be more precise, Nie Yun is actually a Cileye (Jewish), a descendant of those big cannibals who were arranged to live in Kaifeng City by Emperor Taizu Zhao Kuangyin.

Half a year ago, Nie Yun's process of signing up for the new army went very smoothly.

It was only when Xufeng was preparing to promote Nie Yun as the company commander when facing the shortage of qualified officers when forming the third division.

In the entire third division, there was quite a controversy.

The reason is very simple. In "Zuo Zhuan Four Years of Chenggong" from the famous Spring and Autumn Period, there is such a classic sentence: 'If there is no race, there must be a different heart'.

In the dignified new army of the Song Dynasty, let this blond and blue-eyed Ci Leye be the head-level company commander, what is it called?Where is the majesty of the dignified Song Dynasty?

Later, in response to such a situation, the Secret Envoy Hu Shu said:
"Naturally, the new army should have some new atmosphere. Even the old master Confucius said, 'When the barbarians come to plant flowers, they will grow them'. We might as well be more broad-minded.

As long as we agree with Da Song, we are a family; no matter who they are, even Jin people, we can accept them with open arms.

As long as they have their own abilities, promotion and fortune will not be affected. "

So under such circumstances, Nie Yun, who was originally called Albert Dardanelle, became a junior officer in the new army.

Of course, none of the above matters.

The important thing is, after they advance all the way, in the difficult battle that is about to start; can these deadly golden cavalry be blocked and fought back...

Amid the sound of Nie Yun's order, a military musician beside him hastily stopped the drumstick in his hand.

Immediately in the previous second, amidst the extremely rhythmic drumbeat, the 119 soldiers of the whole company who were advancing neatly like a wall stopped at the same time.

The next second later, the sword and shield hands in the first row squatted down holding their shields.

The spearmen in the second row lowered their waists and shoulders, took a lunge, and raised the spears in their hands obliquely upwards, ready for a collision.

The most important thing is that the third row of musketeers behind the spearmen put the brown Beth muskets in their hands on the shoulders of the comrades in front of them in unison.

It was just a hasty aim and the trigger was pulled.

Immediately, those thunderous gunshots and the choking thick white smoke almost didn't drive those hard-working spearmen crazy.

But even if they were coughing like dogs in the choking white smoke.

He didn't let the long spear that was raised high in his hand drop down right here.

just kidding?At a distance of only fifty or sixty steps in front of them, there was a group of golden cavalry, after passing through large and small circular formations, they were attacking them aggressively.

Fortunately, the number and momentum of the golden cavalry, which were originally amazing, became scarce immediately after the effect of the circular formation.

This group of cavalry is still a bit scary to charge, but in terms of number, it is only about thirty or forty.

And the entire formation has been pulled into a long snake.

So after three consecutive volleys of guns, these golden cavalry who had recently rushed to their [-]-step position finally did not dare to continue to charge after more than half of the casualties.

After hastily turning the horse's head, he went to bully the circles with weaker firepower.

And at this moment, amidst the great tension in his heart, Company Commander Nie Yun, whose pants were actually wet with sweat, waited on the spot for another seven or eight seconds.

When it is basically confirmed, the muskets that the men have just emptied have now all been reloaded again.

Raising his throat, he yelled out again: "Keep going~"

Under such an order, because his head was wiped by a spinning axe, even with the protection of the helmet, he was still a military musician whose brain was full of blood.

Ignoring his wound that was still bleeding, he continued to play a burst of relaxing drumbeats.

Let the soldiers of the whole company step on the drums of his men and continue to advance forward neatly like a wall.

In such a process of advancing, they stepped over one corpse after another, or seriously injured people who were convulsing.

These unlucky ones were all in the 20-second battle just now.

After being hit by the Jin people, the spearmen and sword shieldmen fell one after another.

Those golden cavalry rushed over halfway, often before being killed by muskets, they also greeted sharp arrows and various throwing weapons one after another.

Among them, the sharp arrows, throwing axes, and iron bones are better, and the armor on them is still good.

But throwing guns and meteor hammers are still surprisingly terrifying in terms of power, even though they are cold weapons.

Even if it is a sword and shield hand holding a shield, as long as it is hit, it will either be directly nailed through, or it will be smashed to death.

But amidst the sound of the drums, all the above-mentioned miserable situations still couldn't make Nie Yun and the soldiers in their company slow down their orderly steps.

In this way, Nie Yun led the soldiers of his company.

In the continuous firing, loading, and the whole team kept advancing; from time to time, some people fell silent or screamed.

The problem is that everyone understands that such a fierce battle of consuming each other will end only if all the Jin people are driven out.

Even in the process, the formation of the company was defeated, which could not stop them from moving forward.

No!After advancing about seventy or eighty steps forward, a shrill scream came from the position on the left.

Nie Yun turned his head and saw that the Second Company not far to the left was completely disrupted by the impact of a group of cavalry.

During the slaying by the Jinren, Erlian suffered huge casualties all at once.

Immediately, he yelled out such an order: "Stop advancing, target the golden man on the left, and fire continuously in three bursts~"

Immediately amidst the continuous sound of muskets, those golden cavalrymen who were slashing wildly were brought down one by one.

Taking advantage of this fire support, the remaining soldiers of the Second Company did not take the opportunity to flee; instead, they followed the provisions of Chapter 6, Article [-], and Article [-] of the "Da Song Infantry Manual".

Spontaneously, he rushed towards Nie Yun's company and approached him.

Then, at some positions behind the company, two new lines of battle were re-formed.

Afterwards, the musketeers who emptied their muskets would continue to fill the gap after they had filled their muskets. Nie Yun observed the battlefield again.

A kind of understanding suddenly rose in my heart: the key to this battle depends on whether Hu Shumi envoy can stop the reinforcements of the Jinren.

If the golden cavalry had been rushing forward like this, their right wing would collapse sooner or later.

If it is the other way around, they have the confidence to drive these cavalry out...

*******
In fact, in the town of Zhuxian Town, Hu Biao and others are on a wooden platform.

Fan Zhu discovered such a crisis in advance half a minute before the golden cavalry charged.

And in a very short time, he took the initiative to take some countermeasures; otherwise, he would wait until the messenger sent by Fan Zhu came to ask for help, and then take some measures.

Then at that time, I am afraid that the day lily is really cold.

At that time, after putting down the telescope, AT immediately roared out:
"Not good! The first division is defending the central army, and the fifth division is defending the left wing. It seems that the defense lines of these two positions should still be able to withstand it.

But the right wing of the third division's defense, the line of defense has been messed up, and it seems to be a little dangerous.

If the left line of defense is overwhelmed, the entire line of defense will be very troublesome; even if the artillery fires with all its strength and barely defends, the casualties of the third division will be terrifying. "

Old Hu, why don't I take Yang Zaixing, Beiwei Army, and the Independent Cavalry Battalion to take the initiative to attack, and stop by the middle for the Golden Cavalry to relieve the pressure on Xu Feng and Fan Zhu. "

Facing AT's suggestion, they didn't even wait for Commander Hu Biao to say something.

In Huang Yizhi's mouth on the other side, he has already raised objections:

"No! After removing the loss between the cavalry, we now have a total of seven hundred cavalry left; no matter how good your equipment is, no matter how strong your combat effectiveness is, you can barely charge under so many golden cavalry. How many times?
I think the entire army will be wiped out after three times at most. Such a consumption method is not worthwhile, absolutely not.

Old Hu, why don't we just make a big move and call out the latest trump cards that Langqing brought over one by one. "

After hearing the saying 'open big move~'.

With anxious expressions on the side, the warehouse manager, imperial concubine and others who originally planned to say something were all refreshed and eager to try.

At that time, although the Jinren side relied on a large number of cavalry, they controlled the field area of ​​the entire battlefield.

But it doesn't mean that the contact between Kaifeng City and Zhuxian Town has been completely cut off.

Relying on the north of the town of Zhuxian Town, the canal called 'Yunliang River' that goes around the town, Langqing can still transport some supplies in a steady stream through some small boats at night.

So the night before yesterday, a batch of rockets was shipped in.

Pay attention, these rockets are not the "swarm" rockets that have a wooden box in the shape of Daming, and a large number of arrows fly out after being ignited.

Rather, it is similar to the 'Congreve Rocket', which is propelled by gunpowder and has a special launcher.

It flies out after being ignited, and it is said that the maximum range exceeds three kilometers; and because of the five kilograms of black powder charge, it can explode after landing, and it is the kind of serious rocket that is not small.

The only pity is that the production of this thing is limited, and there are only a hundred rounds in total at present.

The key is that Langqing has only had time to study such a weapon in the recent period of time. It is said that the deviation has reached 200 meters, so it still needs to be improved in terms of accuracy.

But then again, if you call out the [-]-shot rockets one by one, it will definitely give the golden man a big surprise.

It's just that after hearing such a suggestion, Hu Biao pondered for more than ten seconds.

In the end, in his mouth, he gave such an order: "No, it's too scary to greet this thing, believe it or not, these golden men will run away tomorrow.

So, Warehouse Manager, you go up immediately.

Immediately use all the artillery fire hidden in the junction of the central army and the right wing, and the first independent artillery brigade to fire sideways, blocking the continuous impact of the golden cavalry as much as possible.

By the way, tell Blackie and Windmill, no matter how difficult they are.

While withstood the opponent's attack, send me no less than a regiment of troops to protect the small Frang machine gun group and advance towards the right flank; give me support and try to block the follow-up reinforcements of Jinbing. "

Under such an order, the warehouse manager asked hesitantly:
"Such a tactic should be able to beat the Jin people back, but the casualties of Xu Feng and Lao Hei's third division this time may be terrifying~"

After hearing the words, Hu Biao's face became extremely bitter, but the words in his mouth were so firm and ruthless:

"So many people have died on the Jinren side in the past few days, it's time to give them some hope, otherwise why hang them and continue to die.

Therefore, the casualties of the third division today are a hope for them.

Let them think that as long as they continue to consume, as long as they work harder and harder, they will finally be able to break through the hope of defense.

So, this is a normal battle.

Congreve Rockets, these big killers, need to hoard more quantities, call them all at a critical moment, and defeat the opponent in one go. "

As for Hu Biao's above, it is true that everyone does not understand the sayings of "compassion does not control soldiers" and "one general will succeed in ten thousand bones".

But to put it bluntly, these people are just ordinary people.

Thinking of the thousands of new army soldiers who died in battle because of Hu Biao's decision, they couldn't express their depression.

But they also know that under the current circumstances, it is really necessary to do so.

So before Cangguan rode on a big green mule and hurried towards the artillery, he didn't know what kind of psychology he had.

With a very solemn mouth, he said to Hu Biao:
"Old Hu, I advise you to be mentally prepared. After the second phase of the mission is over, you will definitely be beaten by Xu Feng and Fan Zhu.

Don't blame me when the time comes, I won't pull them at all, and not doing it together is my greatest restraint. "

The voice fell, and the mouth of the paralyzed man of War Dog echoed on the spot: "Old Hu, I also planned to do so~"

Then, many similar sayings sounded in Hu Biao:
"Well, I can only promise that I won't do anything~"

"Old Hu, when the time comes, I will give you some kicks, otherwise I will feel bad; but don't worry, I won't greet you badly~"

Hu Biao: "I thank you..."

Not to mention the tactical needs of a qualified battlefield commander, Hu Biao made some reasonable commands, but he was faced with the threat of being shot out after the battle was over.

Such a depressed emotion in my heart is simply extremely strong.

The subsequent development of the battle situation was similar to what they had expected.

First of all, relying on the circular formation and a large number of casualties, the soldiers of the new army of the third division managed to withstand the fierce attack of the golden cavalry without the whole army being defeated.

During their difficult battle, they finally heard the thunderous sound of cannons.

The First Brigade of Independent Artillery, twelve 12-pound Napoleon field guns and 24 6-pound Napoleon field guns hidden in the junction of the center army and the right wing.

They all took off their camouflage, and opened fire with all their strength against the follow-up troops of the Jinren.

Not to mention the 12-pound shells with the largest caliber, the so-called 6-pound shells, all weigh 2.5 kilograms, which is the size of a grown man's fist.

With the improvement of Langqing, the range of these field guns has been increased to 1.5 kilometers.

Therefore, after such 36 artillery pieces fired sideways at the maximum rate of fire, the dense shells greeted them.

It often happens that a shell will slowly stop rolling on the ground after piercing through several horses or Jin Bing's body.

But to say that there will be no follow-up to the cavalry, the biggest threat is those small Frang machine guns slowly approaching the right wing under the escort of the infantry.

They were replaced with shotguns, and each time they fired, they could bring down a lot of people.

Coupled with the continuous firing of volleys of guns, for a while, under the order of Wanyan Zongwang and others, the Jinren side planned to support a cavalry team of [-] soldiers.

In the process of rushing into the camp of the third right-wing division, he suffered an astonishing casualty.

Often a neat centurion, under the continuous attack of artillery fire and dense platoons of guns, only at most half of the personnel can pass through successfully.

This is still a golden man compared to chicken thieves. Long before the Northern Expedition, because of the threat of explosives, the horses were trained in advance to let them get used to the sound of explosions on the battlefield.

Otherwise, under the shock of the war horses, their war horses would have gone mad and caused chaos in the whole army.

In the end, after the third and fourth regiments of the third division gradually advanced to the positions of those circular formations,

A group of golden cavalry in the camp, faced with a scene where they couldn't charge at all, and the number of combatants was also decreasing.

Finally, some people couldn't bear such a frenzied battle, turned around and retreated on their horses; they didn't return directly to the camp, but fled frantically into the wilderness.

So far, such an ordinary battle has completely come to an end.

Nie Yun, the blond-haired and blue-eyed company commander, saw that after the second company's defeated soldiers were added to his side, there were now only a hundred or so soldiers left in the battle formation.

Under this astonishing casualty, I almost cried at that time.

Fortunately, the responsibility of being a low-level military officer allowed him to suppress the sadness in his heart when he couldn't see higher-ranking officers around him, and spontaneously shouted:
"Establish a line of defense, health workers save lives..."
