Chapter 3493 Bloody Battle of Xuanwu Gate
"Report!"
"General Qi, the Zuo Tunwei has assembled troops, and its vanguard, probably more than [-] people, is attacking our army camp!"
"The [-] cavalry of Zuo Tunwei broke away from the main force, increased their horse speed, and charged forward!"
"There are still more than [-] people in the camp who are completing the assembly, and they are coming in a steady stream!"
……
A piece of news gathered in front of Gao Kan. Gao Kan's face was like water, he looked around, and said in a deep voice: "When the commander-in-chief was leaving, he told us again and again to be careful of traitors and rebellion. There are so many rebels in Chang'an City. It endangers the country, but we cannot leave our posts without authorization, because our mission is to guard the Xuanwu Gate and guard the gates of the Forbidden Palace! Right now, the Zuo Tunwei is brazenly raising troops, disregarding the holy will, and his intention must be at the Xuanwu Gate!"
As soon as the words fell, the general and school beside him shouted angrily: "Rebellious ministers and thieves, everyone gets it and punishes it!"
"As long as there is one person in my right guard, no one can capture Xuanwumen!"
"The commander-in-chief is fighting fiercely with powerful enemies in the Western Regions. We must not let the Xuanwu Gate fall, and we will bear the order of the commander-in-chief!"
"Fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death!"
……
The general's morale was easily mobilized, Gao Kan was very satisfied, and said loudly: "The Zuo Tunwei has twice the strength of our army, but it is just a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals. How can it be compared with our powerful army that overthrew the enemy's country? Ladies and gentlemen, we I have been constantly practicing the tactics of defending the camp and facing the rebels, and I have already dealt with the current battle situation, if I can't severely defeat the invading enemy, how can I meet the commander in the future?"
"That's right, we practice every day. What we practice is to stick to the camp and defend the Xuanwu Gate! The Zuo Tunwei rebelled brazenly and came here in full force. This is exactly the situation we usually practice. He must come and go!"
"A group of mobs, how dare they raid my right guard? Let him taste the power of firearms!"
Amidst the noise, the enemy cavalry's promotion was getting closer and closer. Gao Kan raised his hand and shouted: "Meet the enemy!"
"Here!"
The generals and schools around him quickly dispersed, each returned to his own position, and led the soldiers under his command to face the powerful enemy.
Before dawn, the dark sky was covered with heavy snow like goose feathers, and the left guard cavalry was getting closer and closer amidst rumbling cries.Suddenly, a row of lights lit up in the middle of the Youtunwei camp in front of them, and then disappeared, but dozens of projectiles dragged orange-red tail flames across the air in a long and curved parabola, and suddenly fell from the sky , falling straight into the charge array of the Zuo Tunwei cavalry.
"Boom boom boom!"
Dozens of flowering shells exploded on the ground, and countless shrapnel and lead pellets were thrown in all directions by the powerful kinetic energy of the gunpowder explosion. Each shell could cover a radius of one foot, and all soldiers and horses within this distance were violently splashed with fragments If it hits too close to the explosion point, it will be instantly torn apart by countless fragments.
Not only the thin leather armor is nothing in front of these fragments, even the armor is hard to resist.
Although the accuracy of the cannonballs is poor, it is impossible to cause too much damage to the cavalry who fanned out and charged, but as long as the cannonballs fall nearby, some cavalrymen will scream and be hit by debris. The deterrence in his heart was too great, and many horses were even frightened by it, scurrying around, causing chaos in the charging array.
"Speed up, speed up! The artillery is too far away to get close. Hurry up and rush to the Youtunwei camp to avoid the artillery!"
A school lieutenant leaned on the horse, trying to reduce the size of his body as much as possible to avoid the locust-like shell fragments, while roaring.
The power of the cannon is enough to break mountains and rocks and shake the earth, but it also has flaws, that is, the range of the cannon is too long, the accuracy is too poor, and the lethality of the nearby enemies drops sharply.And once they rush to the Youtunwei camp and fight with the Youtunwei soldiers, they can't still fire artillery, and the enemy and our part will be bombarded wildly, right?
Therefore, the closer you are to the Youtunwei camp, the less you will be bombarded by artillery.
Everyone was frightened by the power of the artillery, so upon hearing the shout of the captain, the cavalrymen of the Zuo Tunwei didn't care about the shells that fell head-on, they just speeded up their horses blindly, and headed towards the brightly lit Right Tunwei University. Battalion stormed.
In fact, this trick is indeed a good way to avoid the artillery. The artillery of the right guard fired two rounds, and the cavalry of the left guard approached the camp.At this time, you can't attack with artillery, otherwise, once the shells fall into your own position, it will be a tragedy.
Seeing that the artillery was gradually misfiring, the Zuo Tunwei cavalry immediately became excited, raised their horses and spread out, and rushed straight towards the Right Tunwei camp.
Just before rushing to the Youtunwei camp, the front horse "Herod" hissed miserably, and the horse's hooves stepped into the horse pit, but the horse still rushed forward, and the huge kinetic energy instantly crushed the horse's legs that fell into the pit. Breaking off, the horse hissed and flew out, landing heavily and rolling, the soldiers on horseback were either thrown violently, or were simply crushed by the rolling horse, with broken bones and tendons screaming incessantly.
The horse in front accidentally fell into the horse trap, which made Paoze behind him startled. He hurriedly slowed down the horse, pulled the reins and parted towards the two sides.
The setting of the horse trap is very particular. Before the horse is rejected, the distance is exactly the range of the musket attack. At this time, the cavalry of the left guard defends to the two sides in order to avoid the horse trap. The soldiers were ordered to shoot with muskets one after another.
"bang bang bang"
Puffs of gunpowder smoke spewed out from the muzzle of the guns, and the smoke from hundreds of muskets instantly condensed into a dark cloud, which was then blown away by the strong wind. The "three-stage strike" made up for the insufficient rate of fire of muskets to a certain extent. Countless lead pellets were shot from the barrel of the gun, hitting the cavalry lined up in front of them and rushing to the two sides. The cavalry were shot and fell off their horses one after another, and the vigorous and fierce cavalry fell down one by one like wheat in the autumn field.
The cavalry who arrived later did not dare to get too close, so they could only divide their troops on both sides before reaching the area of the horse pit in the distance, trying to bypass the frontal defense of the right guards, looking for weak spots to carry out a surprise attack, trying to break through the right Tunwei's defensive position.
The momentum of the violent charge was contained in an instant.
However, after only a short delay, a large number of Zuotun guards rushed to kill them. The heavy snow fell in the dark sky, which seriously obstructed the line of sight. All that could be seen was the dark army coming from the darkness, and the sound of shouting rushed straight into the air. sky.
Gao Kan lives in the middle army, and Fang Zheng's face is very calm. After all, Zuo Tunwei's tactics have not exceeded expectations. If the fight continues like this, the right Tunwei must win.
However, he was always worried about the safety of Xuanwumen, and said to the captain next to him: "Strictly order the scouts in the army, don't be afraid of the battle, don't delay the battle, and don't miss the opportunity of the battle, you must keep a close eye on the direction of Xuanwumen, in case Chai Zhewei just came to show off Spears, in fact, dispatched a large army to attack Xuanwu Gate, we must provide timely support!"
"Here!"
The captain did not dare to be negligent, knowing that the ultimate goal of all the battles now is to protect the safety of Xuanwumen. Even if all the Zuotun guards in front of him are wiped out, but they are attacked and captured Xuanwumen in the end, it will be a complete failure.
Immediately rode away from the brigade, and went to the periphery to dispatch scouts to continue to inquire about the military situation.
Gao Kan saw the dark Zuo Tunwei spreading all over the hills and plains outside Xuanwu Gate, waved his hands with a stern face, and shouted: "What do the gunners do? Can't I give them so many cannons as decorations? Pass the order down." , the gun barrel is no longer red, don't stop!"
"Here!"
The messenger quickly ran to the back to deliver the order, and the artillery position that had been silent for a moment roared here. The soldiers were distressed at the cannon barrel, and they didn't dare to fight too much for fear that the cannon barrel would be destroyed. After all, the cost of the cannon barrel was too high. It's made of gold.
But at the moment when they heard the order, these soldiers no longer had any scruples. Naturally, they threw off their arms and continued to load. One shell was fired, and after a brief treatment of the residue in the barrel, they stuffed the propellant and shells and continued to fire.
For a moment, the roar of the artillery deafened the nearby soldiers. Numerous shells dragged the flames and landed on the array of Zuo Tunwei's charge, and exploded loudly. The place is full of stumped limbs flying and blood splattering, like hell.
Chai Zhewei, who was in the rear, watched the artillery fire of the Right Guards raged, blowing up his troops and laying corpses everywhere. Although he was mentally prepared for this, he still couldn't accept this heart-wrenching loss.
This is the team he relies on to grab higher power!
Chai Zhewei's eyes were red, and he urged angrily: "Give the order, the whole army will charge, there will be no retreat! As long as you rush into the camp of Youtunwei, the victory will be sealed! I will kill all the bastards of Youtunwei, leaving no one behind. !"
Outside the Xuanwu Gate, right guard camp, the battle fell into a bloody battle from the very beginning.
