Chapter Forty-One: Charge
As more than 3,000 war horses galloped past, the entire Shun Army camp was shaken. The Shun Army soldiers in the three camps to the east had just woken up from their dreams and for a moment they did not understand what was happening.
However, before they could figure out what was going on, the frightened horses rushed over quickly. Many soldiers of the Shun army at the edge of the camp were directly knocked to the ground amidst the roar of people and horses, and were trampled to pieces.
.
War horses roared past in an endless stream. Countless tents and soldiers were overwhelmed by the horses. The rumble of horse hooves covered up all movements. The Shunjun camp was like a kettle boiling on the fire. There was restlessness and uneasiness everywhere.
In the darkness, panic spread quickly with shouts. It was these so-called elite soldiers who suddenly appeared and followed the horses, waving their swords and guns, and kept killing the skirmishers.
The cavalry of the Ming Army were also frightened out of their courage.
Although there are war horses in various camps of the Shun Army, at this time, the war horses tied to the stakes are either pulling hard or going crazy, and are not under control at all.
The most frightening thing is that the horses that broke free from the reins rushed left and right in the camp, and after colliding with the horses rushing from the west, they successfully caused these thousands of horses to start roaring and trampling indiscriminately.
.
Thousands of Shunjun soldiers faced the herd of horses sweeping in like a strong wind and huge waves, and they could only panic and escape. Even the most ferocious soldiers were unprepared to face this situation as a small individual.
How can we not be afraid?
In the camp, people and people, people and horses, and horses were pushing and squeezing each other. The people were frightened by the horses, and the horses were frightened by the people armed with knives and guns who were hacking in panic. Countless people and horses were all attacked at the same time.
He was knocked to the ground and then trampled by the crazy crowd and horses.
The entire Shunjun camp was like a terrifying Shura hell, constantly devouring panicked lives.
However, Shunjun could not control the crazy horses, and Xue Laoer's two hundred cavalry were even less able to restrain them. After charging for a while, these horses quickly dispersed from the two wings.
Moreover, many Shun Army soldiers located on the east side of the main camp to the east of the Shun Army had already reacted in panic. They mounted their war horses and quickly rushed towards them, passing through the sparsely charged war horses and the Ming army.
Start fighting.
A fight is inevitable.
Zhang Hong moved forward quickly, with countless shining light spots beside him. His bright helmet and sharp spearheads were surging, creating a rippling wave of light in the darkness.
They were less than 200 steps away from the Shunjun camp. The cavalry group in front had turned into countless scattered light spots. The burning tents made the front a fiery red. Even the thick smoke and the sky seemed to have changed color.
.
Zhang Hong's 300 "military/guard camps" adopted a three-row offensive formation in order to sweep the Shunjun camp to the maximum extent and achieve the purpose of cleaning up the battlefield. The soldiers on both wings were strengthened to prevent the thin formation from being destroyed.
The Shun army broke into chaos.
There were constant screams and wails from the front, mixed with the sound of horse hooves trampling on the ground, neighing, and the vibration of bow strings. There were even a few lone soldiers who ran out and crashed into the Ming army formation in a panic. Before they even got close, they
He was immediately shot and killed by a crossbowman in front of the military formation.
The distance continued to shorten, and the pace of the soldiers of the "Martial/Weiying Camp" became faster and faster. Zhang Hong worked hard to control the team, and officers at all levels were also trying their best to suppress them.
Although it is difficult for the cavalry to organize effective resistance against the Shunjun camp that the cavalry rushed through with their horses, if the military formation cannot play its role, the military/guard camp will also suffer huge casualties.
The sky was changing rapidly, and the view on the plain was getting better and better. Zhang Hong stared closely at the Shunjun camp not far in front of him. More and more figures appeared near the fire and tents.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
After a burst of shouting, Zhang Hong led the "Martial/Weiying Camp" towards the Shun Army soldiers who had not yet recovered from the impact of thousands of galloping horses. The rows of sharp gun heads were even brighter under the firelight.
He stabbed fiercely any soldiers who were still active.
Amidst the sound of dense footsteps, the sound of armor leaves vibrating and rubbing together, three hundred soldiers from the "Wu/Weiying Camp" quickly poured into the Shunjun camp.
Continuous screams resounded from the Shun Army camp again. These Shun Army soldiers scattered everywhere were unable to withstand the impact of the spear formation, and in the blink of an eye they were swallowed up by the waves of Ming Army spear soldiers.
These loyal troops were originally rushed to pieces by thousands of galloping war horses. Even those who were not knocked down and trampled to death, most of them were injured. How could they still have any fighting strength?
Facing the charge of the "Wu/Wei Camp", the Shun troops on the edge of the camp failed to react in time and were repeatedly stabbed by spears and fell down. However, the Shun troops in the depths of the camp panicked and quickly turned around to escape to the north or east.
go.
The chaos continued to intensify, and those scattered soldiers who fought back were quickly killed. Each of them often had to face simultaneous attacks from several spears. Basically, they were stabbed to death as soon as they got close to the military formation.
.
Even if there are Shunjun soldiers holding long spears, wearing strong armor, and with high martial arts skills, even if they are lucky enough to kill a Ming soldier, another Ming soldier will take over later, not to mention the number of soldiers beside him.
Facing a pincer attack from at least two spears at the same time.
In other words, unless a soldier has three heads and six arms, his or her personal martial arts skills will be completely vulnerable in front of the military formation.
After rushing into the Shunjun camp, the "Wu/Wei camp" immediately divided into five groups, with each two flag teams forming a combat unit. They continued the offensive in a fan shape and quickly rushed into the depths of the Shunjun camp.
Zhang Hong gave orders loudly, held up the flag gun in his hand, and led his soldiers around a tent that was almost burned out. They all held guns in both hands, with the left high and the right low. The gun barrels were slightly tilted to facilitate thrusting.
force.
By the light of the fire, Zhang Hong kept dodging corpses scattered around his feet, staring closely ahead. In front of them, the cavalry led by Xue Laoer was charging, but the uncontrolled horses of the Shun army had now scattered to the north and south.
Went.
At this time, a red fire seemed to light up on the east side of the Shunjun camp, but the surroundings were so noisy that Zhang Hong did not hear the movement to the east.
They continued to charge forward, and officers at all levels kept glancing at Zhang Hong's position with their peripheral vision to ensure that the entire military formation was not dispersed. His helmet was illuminated by the fire and was shining, making it very easy to identify.
The ground of the Shunjun camp was already in a mess, with obstacles everywhere, and charging soldiers were tripped from time to time. This was also the reason why the Wu/Wei camp did not continue to charge at the original width.
While charging, the soldiers kept stabbing the black shadows that appeared in front of them with their spears. No matter whether the opponent had weapons or not, and whether the opponent surrendered or not, no one had time to identify them at this time.
As the military formation deepened into the Shunjun camp, more and more black shadows appeared in front of the soldiers of the Wu/Wei camp, and then they fell down wailing in the rounds of thrusts. The remaining ones were far away.
He fled into darkness.
