"How did this happen? How did the battlefield situation become so fast … How could the butch army across from the butch army have artillery and flowering bombs … what exactly are the new weapons officers they threw out of the wall ?.. Who can tell me?"
Not only Zhu Dadian, but all the generals with armies behind Zhu Dadian have never seen grenades, and the tiger and leopard army have seen such a bloody counterattack …
Facing Zhu Dadian sweep to his eyes, everyone is silent …
At this moment, a garrison general behind the flank broke the increasingly quiet atmosphere here.
Wake up to Zhu Dadian. "My Lord, the soldiers who participated in the fighting know these problems! To withdraw them, we can know the answer … The tiger and leopard army counterattack is too sharp. If we don’t sound the golden bell and retreat, we will worry that we will send five thousand soldiers to the end of the army … "
When everyone turned their attention to the battlefield again, the tiger and leopard troops continued to fight back and kill the loyalist.
In their field of vision, the flowering bomb brought them the biggest shock …
When a flowering bomb exploded, loyalist soldiers in a range of more than ten feet were either directly torn to pieces by the flowering bomb, and even a complete body could not be left behind, or they were directly blown over by the flowering bomb. Life and death are uncertain …
But it can be said that the tiger and leopard troops attacked themselves with flower bombs and sent them to musketeers. If they don’t retreat immediately, they will be slaughtered.
At this moment Zhu Dadian’s face has changed from dignified to gloomy.
Shouted at the department with a full face of shock and heartache behind him, "then what are you still doing?" Don’t Ma Mingjin retreat … Command the soldiers to withdraw immediately … "
After the ringing sound of the battlefield, the tiger and leopard army suffered from various attacks, and the loyalist was like a deflated ball, and there was no courage to continue.
If the battlefield is filled with smoke, you can still move the official army department to spread your legs and start to retreat.
Chapter three hundred and ninety-six New conspiracy
The guns stopped and filled the battlefield, and the smoke slowly dissipated …
Standing on the wall, his face has been blackened by smoke. He Guozhong is relieved.
Glancing at his side, He Guozhong spoke with ease after coming to the Ministry and ordered, "Order the brothers to clean the battlefield hard again to treat the wounded and count the casualties … rest after the end …"
"After half an hour, we will know our specific losses in the battle just now …"
A humble tent behind the city wall He Guozhong has just finished eating two steamed buns and a bowl of mutton, but he has not come to rest. He has been ordered to head the original musket camp, and teams will walk into the tent with a dignified face.
In the face of Guo-zhong He’s asking his eyes to look dignified, the head of a regiment directly spoke and told him that "the loss of teachers’ equipment and troops has been counted by the Ministry …"
"Outside loyalist attacks we brought the old man from Datong lost a total of 12 people, and 5 people died directly. The first batch of 1,000 recruits lost as much as 42 people, and 41 people died directly …"
"After checking the soldiers who died, we lost more than 600 brothers, and more than 60% of them were caused by loyalist archers …"
"Loyalist archers …" He Guozhong couldn’t help but bite his teeth and scold a way when he heard these words.
"I didn’t expect that we should ignore the bow and arrow, which is a long-range attack weapon that we have eliminated … all this is wrong. If we can still return to Datong alive, we will definitely go to the front of the guard to confess our sins in person …"
When I heard that, the front part hurriedly opened its mouth to comfort
"Teachers, there is nothing wrong with you … although we lost more than 600 people, attacking our loyalist lost much more than us. Brothers, although they didn’t go out of the city for specific statistics, the approximate figures can still be estimated."
"loyalist offensive forces just left more than three thousand bodies on the battlefield outside the city …"
"Two loyalist siege teams on the first line of the city wall, almost one thousand loyalists were killed by our grenades."
"A thousand archers and musket battalions fought back, and less than 500 people fled back."
"In addition to the two thousand officers’ arms and marines, five or six hundred people were killed by the musket camp, leaving more than one thousand people with six mortars and nearly two hundred rounds of flowering bombs. They successfully fled back to less than one thousand people …"
"If the battlefield continues to attack outside the city according to this casualty ratio, our loyalist will be destroyed by us first … and the final victory will definitely belong to us."
Department words did not make Guo-zhong He face even the slightest smile.
A pair of puzzled eyes stared at He Guozhong, shook his head and replied, "The situation is definitely not as simple as you think."
"If judging from the loss of troops, we did win a great victory."
"But for us, in addition to the loss of troops, there is also the loss of equipment, and what really affects us is the loss of equipment. All the multi-forces can’t keep the saltworks without equipment."
The colonel nodded his head and continued to tell him, "You are right, sir. As far as equipment is concerned, the situation we are facing has become worse and worse …"
"In less than an hour, we had a musket that was fired for a long time and was scrapped. There was no way to continue it."
"Firearms are equipped with lead bullets because we have accumulated a large number of training bullets, but judging from the situation of the remaining muskets, the remaining muskets should not last long and will be scrapped and face the danger of exploding."
"In addition, there are 12 grenades left in the flowering bomb and 142 grenades left …"
He Guozhong nodded in a low tone and asked, "That is to say, our existing ammunition and equipment can at most play an offensive and defensive war on the scale like just now."
In front of the colonel, although I hate to admit it.
However, Guo-zhong He’s bright eyes still had to nod his approval …
At this time, the dignified expression on He Guozhong’s face became deeper.
After taking a deep breath, he said to the head of the delegation in front of him, "When I heard this, I can say for sure that the existing equipment can never wait for the equipment sent to us by the Governor’s Office."
"In order to keep the saltworks, we must try our best to be self-reliant …"
Speaking of which, Guo-zhong He’s face has been replaced by seriousness unconsciously, and he continued to analyze the head in front of him.
"There are so many troops living in our saltworks. If we can find thousands of cold weapons from the army, we will certainly find gunpowder."
"If I came from Datong, my old brother would know how to make the explosive bag, a simple explosive. If we insist on it for a longer time, we can replace the few grenades left with explosive bags."
"Even if we scrape the ground three feet, we will find enough gunpowder for the saltworks to hold the saltworks with explosive charges …"
When that salt field garrison began to collect gunpowder from house to house to make explosive charge
Zhu Dadian, who is on a tour of Shandong Province, is sitting in the tent listening department with a dignified face and saying nothing to report the loss of the day.
When he heard that he had lost as many as 374 people in one day’s attack, Zhu Dadian could no longer suppress his anger.
The whole person is like an angry lion growling at the front. "Waste, a group of waste … Five thousand imperial loyalists attacked less than five hundred garrison saltworks, which not only failed to attack but also suffered heavy losses …"
"What do you say you are not waste? Does the imperial court give you so much pay every year for nothing? "
As the saying goes, shoot the first bird.
At this time, the generals in front of Zhu Dadian are usually holding their heads high, but at this moment, their heads are low, and no one dares to come out at this time.
It was not until Zhu Dadian scolded his mouth and began to dry up that he stopped and thought of several problems in his own battlefield
As far as possible, calm your anger and report to the front. The general asked, "Although the loss is great and far beyond the official’s expectation, after all, more than 1,000 people out of 5,000 have returned …"
"Now that you have been defeated, you should know the reason for the defeat. The officer wants to know how the butch army fought back on the battlefield … what equipment they have to have …"
The more you know about the strength and tactics of the Tiger and Leopard Army, the more fearful your face will be.
At the same time, a trace of emotion also came to Zhu Dadian’s mind.
The reason why the Tiger and Leopard Army can defeat the invincible Golden Cavalry again and again in the battlefield is that it relies on its advanced firearms and equipment.
Since the Tiger and Leopard Army has so many powerful firearms and has no equipment advantages, do they have a chance to defeat them and attack the saltworks by relying on their strength advantages …
Will the next battle be as disastrous as it was just now without any results?
At this moment, it has become a battlefield where sheep are slaughtered and butchered by tiger and leopard troops.
