Chapter 38: Decisive Battle 9

However, the small number of shells fired by these cannons still caused some damage to the Yu Jiajun. Several of the shells actually landed in front of the Yu Jiajun's defense line without dying. The flying shells hit the Yu Jiajun. Several bloody alleys were also opened on the front line, causing a number of casualties to the Yu Jiajun.

A cannonball even landed directly at the position of the Chinese army. The impact point of the cannonball was only a dozen meters away from where Yu Xiaotian was watching the enemy formation. It directly killed and wounded several of Yu Xiaotian's personal guards. Everyone was shocked and tried to persuade Yu Xiaotian to retreat some distance and sit in a safer place to take command.

However, Yu Xiaotian seemed not to notice, and the expression on his face did not change at all. He waved his hands to tell the guards to stop talking nonsense, and categorically rejected his subordinates' request to retreat some distance.

He knows very well that the Yu Jiajun is facing the most dangerous test now. As the backbone of the Yu Jiajun, standing here is the backbone of the entire army, and the morale will be extremely high. But if he retreats at this time , it will definitely affect the morale of many soldiers, so even if it is dangerous here, he must not retreat at this time.

In addition, after so many years of ups and downs, he has seen many big scenes. Although the situation today was tense, it was not to the extent that he felt scared, so Yu Xiaotian did not consider retreating at all.

In fact, Yu Xiaotian has been silently calculating the number of troops that Jian Nu has put into the battlefield. Although he cannot accurately calculate the exact number of troops that the enemy has put into the battlefield, the approximate number can be basically determined. It has been less than two hours since Jian Nu came to the battlefield. time, three waves of offensives have been launched in succession.

The number of troops invested in each wave of offensives ranged from 10,000 to 20,000. Now Jiannu has entered the third wave of troops on the battlefield. The number is obviously lower than the previous two, but it can be seen through the telescope. The cavalry launched by Bo should be their absolute main force.

So he put down the telescope, sighed slightly, and said to Liu Wang standing behind him: "Send the order! Prepare to launch a counterattack! After breaking up this wave of enemy troops, they should also collapse! Don't leave those mines anymore. Just wait until they come over and use it!"

After Liu Wang heard this, he immediately responded loudly and repeated Yu Xiaotian's order. After confirming that it was correct, he immediately sent out messengers and began to ride out of the central army and rushed to various ministries to convey Yu Xiaotian's order.

Thousands of the most elite cavalry of the Jiannu, including some Bajala white-armored soldiers who they called the enemy of ten thousand people, stared at the intensive artillery fire of the Yu family army, and finally paid nearly one-third of the casualties. They rushed within a hundred steps in front of the Yu family's army formation, roaring and showing off all kinds of weapons in their hands, including those with bows, some with spears, and some with knives. Some Jian slaves were even more powerful because of their strength. They simply grabbed a long-handled mace, or even a large axe.

After these elite Jiannu cavalry approached the home army's line, they followed the example of some of the previous Jiannu cavalry and blindfolded their horses, leaving them in a state of blindness and could only be driven by them. , charging straight towards the Yu Jiajun line. As for whether they would die or not, they didn't care at all at the moment.

Any army on the battlefield, especially the army of this era, if it pays one-tenth of the casualties in a battle and has not collapsed, it should be called an elite soldier. If an army pays two-tenths of casualties, After becoming a general, if they haven't collapsed yet, then they are definitely a group of tough soldiers.

But today, these slave-building armies often fight with nearly half of their casualties and have not completely collapsed. This has made Yu Xiaotian have to look at them with admiration. The reason why they have not collapsed is probably because they have no retreat option.

It was also because Dorgon, Du Du and others took their own lives, forcing them not to dare to collapse and escape.

But no matter what, these Jiannu showed strong combat capabilities today and showed their absolute courage, which still made Yu Xiaotian admire them more or less.

This was all it was. At this time, Yu Xiaotian had long thrown mercy into the Kingdom of Java. He could no longer feel any mercy towards these slaves. Over the years, he had collected too many stories about the cruelty of the slaves.

I have also seen with my own eyes the many tragedies caused by slavery in mainland China.

In the history books, he had read too many brutal massacres caused by the slaves after they entered the customs, so he had already wiped out the last trace of compassion in his heart when dealing with these slaves.

So when he saw so many Buddhist slaves lying in front of his army, turning into steaming corpses, he didn't feel any discomfort at all. Instead, he felt a sense of relief. He silently

After working in the South for so many years, isn’t this the moment you’ve been waiting for?

Now he finally did it. Although the Jiannu army has not been completely defeated by him, he also knows that Jiannu is at the end of his strength. As long as they are killed with this wave of offensive, then how can Dorgon be a

Even though he is not a famous general, he can no longer turn the tide of the war. Now it is time for him to take the initiative and completely wipe this extremely brutal slave army from the world.

When these thousands of final slave-building elites rushed within a hundred steps in front of the Yu family's army formation, the voices of officers roared suddenly from the frontline battalions: "Engineers, listen to the order! Light the fire!"

"

The engineers who had been waiting for the order in each camp heard the order at this time. Without saying a word, they tightly grasped the rope in their hands, and then pulled the rope with all their strength.

The moment they pulled the rope, a series of violent explosions suddenly occurred more than a hundred steps in front of the Yu family's army formation.

This series of violent explosions raised dozens of meters of dust in front of the two armies' formations, and various kinds of clods and stones were mixed with the stumps and broken arms of countless people and horses, as well as various body parts, including a large number of

Flesh and blood were washed up into the sky together, and then scattered down like rain.

Although the explosive power of black powder is not very powerful, it cannot withstand the large quantity! Yu Xiaotian spent a lot of money this time and ordered the engineers to plant a large number of mines in advance in front of the two army formations. In order to increase the power, he placed mines around and on top of the mines.

A gunpowder bag was also placed, and some stones, broken porcelain pieces, and rotten iron pieces were poured on top. Once detonated, the power cannot be underestimated.

Jiannu, who was charging desperately, had thousands of soldiers and horses at this time, the most concentrated in this area. Suddenly, a violent explosion occurred at their feet, catching them off guard, and even if they were on guard, it was of no use. The violent explosion that occurred at their feet

, leaving them nowhere to hide.

Many war horses and the cavalry on their backs were torn into pieces in an instant. Even the horses and men who were not directly blown away by the explosion were not much better. The mine explosion raised a huge amount of debris and added stones.

Landmine fragments, broken porcelain fragments, and broken iron nails and iron fragments were scattered like a sudden rain.

Whenever there is an explosion, hundreds or even thousands of fragments can be thrown up, leaving the surrounding slaves with nowhere to hide. They are instantly blown to pieces and their flesh and blood are blown away. A large area is knocked down at once, and every explosion point is surrounded by

All the slaves were thrown off their backs, and their screams and screams, mixed with the neighing of the horses, resounded throughout the battlefield.

After the explosion, there was a rain of blood in the sky for a long time, mixed with a large amount of earth and rock fragments, as well as the broken limbs of men and horses, minced meat, and internal organs, which fell everywhere.

Some of the slaves who were lucky enough not to be killed or injured on the spot had their heads and faces sprinkled with flesh and blood, and with the dust and dust, their human shapes were no longer visible.

No matter how strong-minded the Jiannu were, they could not withstand such a terrifying scene. Some Jiannu were so frightened that they tried to hold back the war horses, but the huge explosion frightened many of the war horses, and they were all frightened.

, became a frightened horse, and no longer listened to the orders of the cavalry on its back on the battlefield, and began to jump around, or simply lowered its head and bumped around.

The formation of the Jiannu cavalry, which originally looked like a rolling torrent, suddenly fell into chaos. The entire formation was blown to pieces by the sliding mine array, and it was instantly defeated.

Even Jian Nu, who was running in front, was frightened out of his wits by the earth-shaking explosion behind him. The war horses were frightened and bumped into each other on the battlefield. They could no longer obey their control and headed towards the Yu family.

The military line rushed forward.

Dorgon stared dumbfounded at the earthen walls that suddenly rose up on the battlefield in front of him. His mouth was so wide that he could almost fit a fist into it, and his jaw almost dislocated and fell to the ground. He didn't recover for a long time, as if

Just as stupid.

After finally waiting for this bloody scene to slowly dissipate and the dust settled, what he saw was the scene of thousands of his most elite cavalry, already defeated. A large number of cavalry who were lucky enough to survive were everywhere on the battlefield.

Running around and bumping into each other, there is no formation at all.

Thousands of soldiers and horses were completely devastated by this big explosion. They struggled to control their horses and sat down, turning their horses' heads around and running towards the back like crazy.

At this time, the Jiannu generals, Mongolian generals, and a small number of Han soldiers who were still watching the enemy formation from behind suddenly started to commotion violently, and everyone let out panicked exclamations.

There were even several groups of soldiers and horses from the Eight Banners of Mongolia. They suddenly did not respect orders. Under the leadership of their leaders, they turned their horses' heads one after another, screamed and began to flee the battlefield.

When Yu Xiaotian saw this scene, he suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist, raised it high above his head, and roared: "Brothers of Sea Wolf! Follow me to kill the slave! Charge!"

Before his voice fell, he knocked the horse's belly with his heel. After sitting down, the powerful yellow gelding immediately jumped forward and rushed forward. And his personal guards, without saying a word, took off their lances from their horses.

, shouting wildly, began to follow behind Xiaotian, and rushed towards the front of the formation.

Of course, the cavalrymen of the two battalions would never abandon themselves. They had been waiting for this order for a long time. When they learned that Yu Xiaotian had ordered an assault and rushed out of the Chinese army at the lead, they also rushed immediately.

The war horses were moved and swept into the battlefield like a hurricane. Like a giant dragon, it crossed the infantry line and rushed towards the defeated Jiannu in the battlefield.

Even the infantry battalions began to move. Each battalion immediately shrank into a square formation, formed a marching formation, roared and began to stride forward.

(Thanks to Brother Xiaochunfeng for the reward!)
