Steel Dynasty - Chapter 644

[Chapter 643 Decisive Victory]

“Fire arrows!”

In response to the order, the Black Feather Army suddenly launched a shower of arrows when they rushed fifty meters from Luo Hong’s left army.

The black arrows fell in an arc in the moonlight, and many soldiers from the left army groaned and fell injured.

“Bang bang bang…” The shooting continued. The injured soldiers were dragged behind the formation, and the vacated positions were quickly filled by other soldiers.

The left army led by Luo Hong had a total of 30,000 people. After the large column fired, the Black Feather Army suffered heavy casualties, but the remaining Black Feather Army still rushed forward.

At this time, Luo Hong shouted: “Bayonet!”

“Kill!” Facing the charging Black Feather Army, the soldiers from the left army formed a tight square formation and showed their bayonets one after another.

At this moment, the black torrent and the dark green wall of bayonets collided, and the two sides immediately fell into hand-to-hand combat.

Luo Hong held a sword in his hand and charged left and right among the Black Feather Army. The soldiers around him skillfully used bayonet fighting skills to engage in melee with the Black Feather Army holding swords, shields and spears.

At this time, Luo Hong finally understood why the Qingzhou Army had to train this single-movement bayonet fighting technique every day, and he also gradually understood that the advantage of firearms lies in defending the city.

In large-scale field battles, the advantage of firearms is likely to be lost due to problems such as the number of soldiers, weather, and command. At this time, hand-to-hand combat is the only way to save the battlefield.

He also wanted to understand why the Qingzhou Army had to rely on car formations to dare to fight the barbarian cavalry in the Battle of Jizhou. If they were attacked by the barbarian cavalry in the wilderness at that time, they would probably face a disastrous defeat.

“Go to hell!”

A general of the Black Feather Army charged at Luo Hong with a long sword. Facing the tight bayonet formation of the Left Army, the Black Feather Army, which had been scattered by muskets, had no chapter and could only rely on instinct to fight with the Left Army. , at this time, the discipline and organization of the armies of both sides were judged.

Luo Hong lifted the long sword of the general of the Black Feather Army under the sword crossbar, raised his foot and kicked it horizontally, and the general of the Black Feather Army fell down immediately.

At this time, the soldiers beside Luo Hong immediately raised their bayonets and stabbed the Black Feather Army general. With a scream, the Black Feather Army general was stabbed by three bayonets.

Although they were shot by muskets, there were still more than 20,000 Black Feather Army members left, and their fighting spirit had not completely disintegrated.

But even so, the Black Feather Army did not gain an advantage in the hand-to-hand combat of the Left Army, but retreated steadily.

Cui Huai screamed in the army. At this time, no matter how high the reward he shouted, he could not change the situation of the battle. He understood that he had lost, and he also understood why King Wei was defeated so completely.

Now there is only a deep sense of powerlessness and despair in his heart.

The two sides were fighting fiercely, when suddenly intensive gunshots came from the rear of the Black Feather Army.

The soldiers of the Black Feather Army at the back were shot and fell down one after another, and a Qi army came around behind them at some point.

It turned out that Lu Fei had already cleared the Yan army in front of him. Seeing that the left army was in a melee, he immediately led a group to come to support, and the remaining soldiers were led by Niu Ben to continue forward.

Encountering internal and external attacks, the Black Feather Army soldiers in front retreated, and the soldiers behind who were shot at pushed forward. For a while, the Black Feather Army was in chaos.

In the chaotic order, the Black Feather Army became increasingly unmatched by the Left Army, and casualties increased rapidly. This was when the Black Feather Army finally collapsed. Faced with a completely hopeless battle situation, they all dropped their weapons, knelt on the ground, and raised their weapons. Raise your hands.

Luo Hong was like a god of death. He had a strong smell of blood and was stained red by the enemy’s blood. He held his sword tightly and ordered: “Find the generals of the Black Feather Army immediately.”

After a while , Luo Hong was like a god of death.

, Cui Huaizai’s one hundred and fifty generals, big and small, were escorted to the front of the battle.

Under the identification of the soldiers of the Black Feather Army, Lu Fei and Luo Hong quickly identified the positions of these generals.

“Commander of the Yan army! It seems that he has caught a big fish.” Luo Hong laughed.

Cui Huai is also a tough man. He said: “Kill if you want, why humiliate us!”

Lu Fei and Luo Hong looked at each other. The war is not over yet. These Yan prisoners are a dangerous factor. If any generals make noise, they will be afraid. It will cause trouble.

However, Cui Huai’s status in the Yan Kingdom is extremely high, only lower than that of King Yan. Perhaps he is still a valuable bargaining chip.

After weighing it, Lu Fei said sternly: “Keep all these generals in separate custody and never let them be together with the soldiers.”

Luo Hong nodded, he also meant the same.

Cui Huai was startled for a moment, but he couldn’t help but say anything. The soldiers who looked like tigers and wolves immediately escorted them towards the prison of Yunzhou City.

After losing their generals, the remaining Yan soldiers were like a piece of loose sand, and they could only accept the reality of becoming prisoners.

After taking control of the Yanzhou soldiers in the camp, Lu Fei and Luo Hong did not sit idle, but led the army to move forward.

There were also some Yan soldiers who fled towards Kaizhou, the most important of which was King Zhao’s 40,000 Xuanjia Army.

Now the feudal state still lacks horses, which means they can only be on the defensive when facing the barbarians. They can only rely on the advantage of firearms to defend the city to prevent the barbarians from going south.

But if you really want to destroy the barbarians, you have to rely on cavalry.

For this reason, Lu Fei and other generals were greedy when they saw the cavalry. Now they have trapped 40,000 black armored cavalry. After this battle, another batch of excellent war horses will be added to the feudal country.

Select a batch of high-quality war horses from these war horses and send them to Yanyun Horse Herding Land. Within a few years, there will be a large number of high-quality war horses.

When the two were walking towards each other, Zhao Ang had already engaged the chariot formation. After the chariot formation arrived, Bai Mu’s cavalry was scattered among ten chariot formations.

The soldiers with firearms in the car formation kept shooting at the Xuanjia Army, and Baimu also sent cavalry out of the car formation to attack them from time to time.

Facing this fortress-like formation of vehicles, Zhao Ang had no choice. The cavalry lost their mobility at this moment.

In just three hours, they lost 10,000 people, and behind them, the Yunzhou Army, which had eliminated the soldiers of Yan State, continued to approach.

At this time, the sky in the east had turned white, and the black armored cavalry were exhausted after a fierce battle all night.

Seeing this, Zhao Ang became more and more anxious. He commanded the cavalry to launch another attack on the vehicle formation blocking the road, but was quickly repelled by the cooperation of muskets and cavalry.

The sun was getting higher, and Zhao Ang could clearly see the Yunzhou City army slowly walking towards him.

The dense musketeers walked toward them in neat steps, like Yama about to be harvested.

There was a wolf in front of him and a tiger in the back. Zhao Ang raised the knife in his hand. If he couldn’t bring the black armor iron back, he would be dead in front of King Zhao. Now he had no choice.

“Kill!” Zhao Ang shouted hoarsely, and he led the cavalry to charge against the car formation again. This would be his last charge.

Thousands of horses galloped, and the remaining 20,000 cavalrymen rushed towards the car formation frantically.

There was gunfire again in the chariot formation. Bai Mu squinted his eyes. At this time, he raised his hand. When Zhao Ang rushed to the chariot formation and was frustrated by the chariot again, he ordered all the cavalry to attack.

At this time, Niu Ben and other generals also arrived with their musketeers, and the fighting lasted from morning to noon. During the melee, Bai Mu took the lead and rushed directly towards Zhao Ang, who was killing the feudal soldiers.

The two were extremely jealous when they met, and Zhao Ang also raised his saber and rushed towards Bai Mu.

The war horses galloped and passed by each other. Zhao Ang’s head flew high in the air. Bai Mu laughed loudly, reined in his horse, turned around, picked up Zhao Ang’s head with his sword and shouted: “The general is dead, why don’t you surrender quickly?”

At this moment, the Xuanjia cavalry, known as the first cavalry in the Chongqing Kingdom, was defeated.
