Chapter 2770: Steady as an old dog and fierce as a wolf
But if he goes west, behind him is Gao Jun's towering Wudang Mountain.
Under such circumstances, he found that the war was not good and could retreat to the mountain. By then, he would be the world of his mountain infantry.
As long as he goes up the mountain, even if the enemy has 100,000 cavalry, he is not afraid!... So at this time, Liu Lie repeatedly weighed the pros and cons, not knowing how to choose.
Among the current several plans, some may affect the situation of the battle, while others are the safest and safest. What should he do?
Liu Lie knew that the order that is about to be issued will determine the lives and safety of all soldiers.
At this moment, unprecedented pressure was pressing heavily on his heart.
At this time, Liu Lie's face turned blue and white, and he knew that the soldiers beside him were holding his arm and pressing him into the trench.
At this time, Liu Lie looked up and saw that the enemy cavalry had approached about two hundred meters! "Don't worry, go to his grandma! Let's finish this battle first!"
At this time, a sense of unswerving spirit suddenly appeared in Liu Lie's heart.
He decided to attack the ten thousand Mongolian cavalry head-on first, and then consider the issue of advancement and retreat.
Under Liu Lie's order, the mountain infantry saw that the Mongolian army had already rushed through the 200-meter line, and then the rifles in their hands began to shoot! Now the soldiers' individual bunkers are basically ready, and the trenches are beginning to take shape.
So these soldiers were not panicked.
They lay in the shallow pit, put the rifle on the bunker in front of them and aimed steadily towards the enemy, and then shot the bullets at the enemy group!... At this time, Liu Lie was not reckless, but he knew very well.
No matter what decision he makes now, without sufficient intelligence as a basis, it makes it difficult for him to make accurate judgments.
In this situation, the battlefield situation is extremely tense and can be said to be changing rapidly.
If he made a wrong decision, it would lead to the Tongzhou army on his side being passive and even losing all the money! But Liu Lie did not expect that it was he who was at this moment and did not give hastily orders, which became a turning point in the entire battle!... In order to ensure sufficient vitality and density, Liu Lie's mountain infantry equipped a large number of shotguns suitable for mountain combat.
At this moment, these shotguns have shown strong performance when blocking enemy cavalry.
Before, when Shen Mo was developing a military shotgun, he deliberately made its range slightly higher than that of a bow and arrow.
From the weight of a single projectile to the length of the barrel, to the amount of gunpowder loading, all have been carefully calculated.
Therefore, this shotgun can reach 90 meters for unprotected targets.
At such a distance, in addition to the shooting archers who can use strong bows in the Mongolian army, the range of bows and arrows of ordinary Mongolian cavalry is about 15 meters to 20 meters shorter than shotguns.
It seems that such a short distance, the cavalry can rush over in just one moment.
But don't forget that the speed of the pump-action shotgun is much faster than that of the bow and arrow! So when the mountain infantry pulled the guardrail "cracked" and shot the shotgun into the enemy group in a series.
The spread of shotguns a hundred meters away had exceeded the size of two door panels, and it was almost impossible to hit the enemy! So under the heavy rain bullets, the 10,000-strong team of Mongolian troops fell to the ground like a wall.
At the same time, even though the armor on the Meng army blocked the shotgun's bullets, the war horses they drove fell one after another under the bombardment of gunfires.
For a moment, the mountain infantry army was about a hundred meters ahead of it, like an invisible wall, blocking the charge of the Mongolian army! At this time, the Mongolian general Guo Dehai saw this scene and knew that if he wanted to rush over, the casualties he would have to be extremely heavy.
So he immediately wanted to order his army to detour to the flank, ready to go around the side of the Tongzhou infantry to attack them.
But just when he wanted to give an order, he suddenly heard a sound of the iron hooves of war horses shaking the earth from behind him! When he turned around and looked north, he saw two teams of ten thousand people galloping towards this side from the direction of the Jiangnan camp of the main general Guo Baoyu.
Obviously, my father was worried about something unexpected happening to this 10,000 team, so he sent an army to support him.
By this time, Guo Dehai's troops were obtained by Zeng Qiang, and he was more confident in his heart.
He saw him order his cavalry to retreat slightly and retreat until three or four hundred meters away to avoid the shooting of the opponent's rifle.
Finally, he stood there and waited for the two teams of ten thousand people to come and meet him.
Now that there are two such cavalrymen, Guo Dehai can go around the enemy's left and right flanks at the same time, and each sends a team of ten thousand people to block their side and back.
The ten thousand cavalrymen in front of him can lure the enemy to restrain him in front, so that the opponent cannot act easily.
In this way, only two cups of tea will be entangled by them and fall into a situation that is difficult to escape.
By then, the 30,000 Mongolian cavalry will fight against 5,000 Tongzhou infantry, and he will easily win! Guo Dehai stopped and waited for the actions of friendly troops. In fact, from his perspective, there was no problem, because the three troops still had to conduct command and coordination.
But Guo Dehai never expected that when he stopped, he waited not only for the Mongolian cavalry behind him, but also for the Wu Chaoyang Shaoxing army who was approaching quickly along the Han River!... At this time, Liu Lie saw that the number of enemy troops in front was increasing, and the narrow and long front that their troops had opened was no longer enough to resist the opponent's impact. He knew that he had to make a decision now.
Just as he turned to look at Wudang Mountain to the west, preparing to let the troops lean towards the near mountains and go up the mountain to use the terrain to block the enemy.
At this moment, he saw a dazzling red light suddenly lit up in the distant northeastern sky! It was a red signal flare, a contact signal sent by his friendly forces! At this time, Liu Lie suddenly became excited! This confused battle has been fighting until now, and Liu Lie finally established a connection with his friendly forces. This time, he felt that his heart was instantly at ease.
Then when he looked up, he saw that the direction of the signal flare was rising, which was in the upper reaches of the Han River.
When Liu Lie pulled open the monocular lens and stood up to look into the distance, he saw a fleet of ships surging southward on the Han River, rushing southward, shaking the waves.
Although the distance is still far, when Liu Lie saw the ship full of black armor, he immediately knew that it was his own troops.
At this time, Liu Lie changed his mind in an instant! He shouted loudly and ordered his troops to shrink their defense.
While fighting and retreating, they retreated to the eastward bank of the Han River.
