Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3500 Disparity in Strength
The Zhentian Lei that Li Yuanjing placed his infinite hope on finally came in handy. After paying huge casualties, the guards of the Left Guard rushed to the front of the Guards of the Right Guards, and tried their best to throw away the ignited Thunder Thunder. Killed by muskets and crossbows.

The shocking thunder landed on the Right Tunwei formation, causing huge damage, and the rock-solid formation was also slightly loosened, but the Zuo Tunwei did not take the opportunity to expand the results of the battle.

From ancient times to the present, cavalry has always been the "king of war", and its powerful mobility makes it a hero on the battlefield. Therefore, the Zuo Tunwei is equipped with a large number of cavalry.According to the pre-war assumption, when the infantry attacked the right guard formation head-on, the cavalry would outflank the two wings and penetrate directly into the ribs of the right guard, which would not only cause huge damage, but also completely destroy the defensive formation of the right guard.

However, when he was on the battlefield, Chai Zhewei realized that this was not the case at all.

The mobility of the cavalry is indeed very strong, and they can easily detour to the enemy's flanks or even the rear. However, the huge power of the firearms makes the cavalry dare not approach at all. The projectiles poured down like a gust of wind and rain, and even the mighty cavalry was beaten into a sieve!
Chai Zhewei heard that the Foundry Bureau is currently developing a "breech-loading" musket. Once developed successfully, the reloading speed will be greatly improved. If it is true, how can cavalry have any advantage in front of infantry in the future? ?

Even a group of old women carrying muskets into battle will make the cavalry helpless...

You Wenzhi galloped back from the front, probably because of the artillery blast, the armor on his body was damaged in many places, and blood oozed from the wound, he was in a mess, came to Chai Zhewei, looked at Li Yuanjing, and then told : "Commander Qi, the striker has already rushed to the front of the right guard, the two armies are facing each other, and the artillery of the right guard is difficult to use!"

Chai Zhewei let out a sharp breath.

The power of the artillery is too great!As soon as a cannonball falls and explodes, a powerful force engulfs countless fragments and flies in all directions. Often a cannonball can harvest dozens of lives, it is really unstoppable!
Moreover, there was no information at all in advance that the Youtunwei had hoarded such a large number of artillery pieces. The sudden salvo caused Zuotunwei to suffer heavy casualties and was in a state of embarrassment. Chai Zhewei even felt "invincible"...

He repeatedly urged: "Give the order, the whole army will charge, must rush into the enemy's formation, and must not let their artillery rage! You personally lead the supervising team to supervise the battle, whoever dares to take a step back, no matter who it is, will be punished on the spot! The army never retreats!"

He was really frightened by the power of the artillery, even though he knew that charging with all his strength would lead to increased casualties, he didn't care too much.

If you continue to allow the artillery of the Right Guards to bombard indiscriminately, I am afraid that it will not take long for the Left Guards to lose their minds and their morale will collapse.

You Wenzhi glanced at Li Yuanjing again, seeing that he was silent, he nodded and said, "Your Majesty!"

He turned his horse's head and went to pass the order, and then led the supervisory team to press the formation behind. If there was a rout, he would be punished on the spot, as an example to others, forcing the soldiers of the left guard to bite the bullet and rush to the right guard's position.

However, Youtunwei is not only sharp in firearms, even in close-range melee, the combat power is also tyrannical.

Although the rigorous array was loosened with the damage caused by the enemy's throwing thunderbolts, it still remained intact on the whole. The shieldman was in front, the spearman was behind, followed by the musketeers, crossbowmen, and the array. Progressing layer by layer, both offensive and defensive, the Zuo Tunwei has a large number of people, but the formation is chaotic. They swarmed towards the formation of the Right Tunwei, but they couldn't disperse at all.

And the quality of the soldiers of the Right Tunwei is obviously better than that of the Left Tunwei.

Originally, the soldiers of Youtunwei were all recruited, and each of them was selected from the best, carefully selected, all of them were tall and tall, and after long-term uninterrupted training, their physical strength was greatly improved. Brave and fierce.

Often a shield player can withstand the charge of two or three left guards...

What's more important is that the long-term persistent training has made the formation coordination between soldiers more rigorous, and the cooperation between them is very tacit. There are guards, and more than ten enemy troops can't help them.

Sophisticated weapons and equipment, excellent quality of soldiers, and skilled formation coordination made the combat power of the right guards obviously superior to that of the left guards, which resulted in extremely serious casualties for the left guards.

The fierce battle lasted for two hours.

The heavy snow in the world is still fluttering, as if it wants to cover this extremely tragic battlefield, and the dark clouds can't block the light of the sky.

The front of the two sides looked like a huge meat grinder. The corpses of Zuotun guards were all over the place, and the blood melted the snow on the ground and merged into a river.The huge battle damage caused the morale of Zuo Tunwei to drop rapidly, and the soldiers were terrified and at a loss.

Gao Kan stood in the formation with his helmet on his armor. Seeing that the enemy's morale was low and he was afraid to fight, he felt that the time was ripe and ordered to beat the drums.

The drums of "dong dong dong" sounded in the heavy snow in the winter morning, from slow to fast, converging into a heart-shattering rhythm.

The Youtun guards, who had been in a defensive posture, were immediately refreshed, and rushed out of their positions one after another to launch a counterattack against the enemy.

At the same time, the artillery that had been silent for a long time roared here, and countless shells poured into the rear position of Zuo Tunwei.

There were more than ten thousand soldiers and horses mobilized by the clan supporting Jing Wang Li Yuanjing.Before it was dark and the battle situation was tense, You Tunwei had not been able to discover the existence of this army. Now that the sky is getting brighter, the scouts of You Tunwei have discovered this army that has been silent. It is inevitable that this army will suddenly join the battle situation. Variables, they took the lead in bombarding with artillery.

It has to be said that Li Yuanjing knew very little about firearms, and he didn't understand the firing range of artillery at all. This caused the royal soldiers and horses who had watched the drama in the middle of the night to suddenly encounter shells falling from the sky, and they were instantly blown away. , The formation was chaotic.

Li Yuanjing was taken aback, and quickly ordered the whole army to join the battle. The artillery is really powerful, and the farther away it is, the more damage it will cause. He didn't care about saving his strength, so he rushed up to resist the counterattack of the right guard with the left guard.

Chai Zhewei, whose eyes were bloodshot, sneered from the bottom of his heart. He watched the artillery raging in the middle of the night, but he still couldn't understand the tactical damage of the artillery. After the Second Majesty passed away, he would be able to bear the title of "Eldest Son". Who would take care of this trash?
Just like this, she still has no self-awareness, and she actually looks at the position of the Supreme Being...

I am also blind, I still want to imitate Lu Buwei and play a "rare goods can live", I really regret it.

But now that the battle has reached this point, he can't afford to give up halfway, so he can only bite the bullet and fight on, waiting for a miracle to appear, maybe there is a chance to change course...

The right guards who had been defending the position for two hours now heard the sound of the drums, and immediately rushed out from the position in high spirits, and launched a counterattack towards the enemy in front of them. Each of them was like a tiger descending from the mountain. The Musketeers followed closely behind, and the Zuo Tunwei was caught off guard. They were killed and turned on their backs. They were routed and were about to be completely defeated.

Fortunately, at this time, Li Yuanjing commanded his troops to join the battle brazenly, and more than ten thousand fresh troops suddenly joined the battlefield, immediately blocking the momentum of the Zuo Tunwei's defeat.

Li Yuanjing watched the enemy formation from behind, and seeing this scene, he was overjoyed immediately, and ordered again and again: "Rush up, those who break the formation will be rewarded with a hundred gold, and those who speak loudly will be rewarded with ten thousand gold!"

With a heavy reward, there must be a brave man. The eyes of the army composed of royal slaves and bodyguards were shining, screaming and launching a fierce charge, completely suppressing the counterattack of the right guard.

Gao Kan took the command and saw that the battle situation was not developing in the direction he expected, but he was not in a hurry. He raised his hand, and the captain next to him immediately raised an apricot flag in his hand and waved it vigorously.

In the middle of the camp, an army that was always on the alert saw the flag. Hundreds of soldiers in full armor immediately raised their horses and jumped on the armored horse. With a snort, he moved his hooves, accelerated slowly, and rushed to the battlefield of endless fighting ahead.

The soldiers of the left guard who were in the midst of a fierce battle heard the rumbling sound in their ears, like rolling thunder, and looked up in a daze, only to see a cavalry charge from the rear of the right guard, trampling the ice and snow on the ground with their iron hooves. Jujia, as if a demon god descended into the world, everyone was horrified!

Armored cavalry!
