Chapter 296 There are good strategies but no strong soldiers
"Commander, all the men and horses of Northwest Feng have been scattered. The dog officers and soldiers are like hedgehogs and cannot be relied on!"
The little red wolf ran over from the front panting and reported to Wang Jiayin: "His nearly two thousand men and horses were all dispersed in just one stick of incense!"
Wang Jiayin looked at the battlefield with a gloomy face. The position where he stood was far away from the long ditch, but it was enough to see clearly how the officers and soldiers were harvesting the lives of his soldiers after crossing the long ditch.
Little Red Wolf was right. He clearly saw Northwest Feng's troops rushing towards the officers and soldiers like moths to a flame, and then turned into lying corpses. They were able to get close to the officers and soldiers and rush into the formation of the officers and soldiers.
Yes, there is not one out of ten.
The movement of firearms in the array of officers and soldiers has never stopped. If Wang Jiayin hadn't known that it was the sound of muskets, and such a continuous loud sound, he would have thought it was a magic spell.
Most of the people were knocked down by these cannons when they were close to the formation of officers and soldiers. Those who were lucky enough to survive and rushed in front of the officers and soldiers were stabbed into strings by the densely packed spears of the officers and soldiers. He didn't even know it.
Who invented such a devious formation? Anyway, he had never seen it among the frontier troops. This battle can still be fought like this!
"The people in Northwest Feng are done with it, let them keep fighting!"
He breathed out slowly: "You cover the retreat of the Chinese army. The formation of the officers and soldiers seems to be powerful, but they don't seem to dare to disperse. If they dare to pursue, we will give them a counterattack..."
"Yes, Marshal!" The little red wolf responded suddenly and ran forward without any hesitation.
Under Wang Jiayin, the leaders were not in harmony with each other, just like Northwest Wind and Little Red Wolf. No matter who saw each other's death and injury, they would never feel sorry for each other.
Wang Jiayin has been controlling his subordinates with their conflicts, but at this moment, it is obvious that someone needs to stop the officers and soldiers from moving forward, otherwise, the brigade will simply collapse.
Perhaps, the people in the northwest wind are all dead, and the officers and soldiers' guns have also run out of ammunition. Then we can see if there is any chance!
Wang Jiayinle turned his horse's head and began to lead the Chinese army to retreat slowly. He couldn't help but look back at the battlefield. He felt somewhat regretful. The formation of the officers and soldiers looked formidable, but after looking for a long time, he also saw that
Here comes the opponent's weakness.
If he had a powerful cavalry in hand, he felt that the formation of the officers and soldiers was nothing more than that.
He sketched a picture of his response in his mind. A group of cavalry rode and fired on both sides of the officers and soldiers' array, causing casualties to the officers and soldiers. The other main cavalry were wearing heavy armor and attacking the officers and soldiers' array.
Foot soldiers can cause huge damage, but for heavy armored cavalry, it just scratches the itch.
And once the formation of the officers and soldiers is disrupted, whether it is the opponent's gunmen or the soldiers with spears, under the charge of the cavalry, they are just a group of cattle and sheep to be slaughtered, and they are not a problem!
What a pity!
He let out a long sigh in his heart. He had already tried his best to gather so many soldiers and horses. Where could he find a cavalry that could fight? This was Shaanxi, not outside the customs.
So, he had no choice but to retreat!
"Keep your formation, no pursuit!"
In the array of officers and soldiers, the officers were shouting loudly. As the array moved forward, the rebel soldiers who were leaning forward to die gradually became sparse. As far as the sight could see, the rebel soldiers were moving towards
Escape far away.
The soldiers holding spears in front were already a little ready to move. Even though they still remembered the drill code that prohibited them from leaving the array to pursue, the pace under their feet began to speed up involuntarily, which made the array begin to become skewed and loose.
stand up.
This is definitely not a good call.
Especially to the two thousand households in their square formation who carried a large amount of musketeers' projectiles and gunpowder, the order to stop the advance was immediately issued. Officers at all levels quickly executed the order, and the people in the formation were ready to move.
The atmosphere finally calmed down under the scolding.
And the continuous roar of firearms gradually stopped. The bandits who rushed up, perhaps with a death wish, looked at the officers and soldiers who were getting closer and closer, but found that they were not affected by those evil spells.
After being knocked down, everyone immediately became energetic and rushed forward with strange screams.
Even if the opponent is like a forest of spears, they are not timid at all. As long as they can rush in, even if they can kill an officer and soldier, it is worth it.
Not only them, but even the thieves and soldiers who were fleeing in the distance seemed to have seen the opportunity. Many of them were driven away, turned around, and rushed towards the formation of officers and soldiers.
Without those magic spells, if they fight face to face, they really are not afraid of these officers and soldiers, they are just afraid of the unknown things.
Casualties finally began to appear among the ranks of officers and soldiers.
Although these casualties were obtained by the thieves at a cost several times or even ten times, there were still casualties after all. After those spears stabbed to death the enemies who rushed forward without fear of death, they
The spear could not be retracted in time, and the enemy's corpse even hung on the spear. This caused the officers and soldiers holding the spear to completely lose their offensive power in that moment.
And at such a moment, the weapons in the hands of thieves can often bring out a bloody light.
"Commander, fight back!"
The little red wolf's face was red, and so were his eyes. At this moment, his eyes were shining with bloodthirsty light.
"The officers and soldiers can't hold on any longer. Our opportunity has come. If we eat them, Yan'an Prefecture will be ours!"
"No!" Wang Jiayin looked at the battlefield and said one word coldly: "Withdraw!"
"The officers and soldiers stopped firing firearms on their own initiative, we didn't force them to stop!" He shook his head: "Continue to withdraw and ignore them. They are leading us to attack them. Those with northwest wind are enough, others
Yes, cover the Chinese army’s retreat for five miles and then gather the manpower to guard against the officers and soldiers!”
"But how can we guard against them!" Little Red Wolf stuck out his tongue and licked his lips: "These dog officers and soldiers are pushing forward like this. Our men and horses cannot resist it. If we lose again, everyone's military morale will be lost!"
"The officers and soldiers can dig trenches, but we can't dig trenches?" Wang Jiayin sneered: "We don't need to dig trenches, we just need to dig holes everywhere. I don't believe it. The officers and soldiers will fill the holes and fight us at the same time. If
If we lose in that case, I don’t want this Yan’an Mansion!”
The little red wolf was stunned for a moment, then nodded and left.
A distinct scene began to appear on the battlefield. On one side was the bandit army, which was slowly and orderly retreating, gradually widening its distance from the phalanx of officers and soldiers. On the other side, there were dead bodies everywhere around the phalanx of the two officers and soldiers.
The corpses were surrounded by hundreds of people in the phalanx, who were attacking like they were dying.
Suddenly, the roar of firearms, which had been silent for a long time, sounded again. The chargers, who seemed to have been abandoned by the brigade, finally fell down in a cloud of gunpowder smoke and became corpses lying around the phalanx.
The bandit army's brigade suddenly accelerated their retreat, as if they were worried that the officers and soldiers would catch up. By the time the roar of the firearms stopped, the bandit army's group was already two miles away from the square formation of the officers and soldiers.
outside.
And in this empty two miles, not a single living person could be seen walking around.
