"Very good, everyone, move forward and prepare to take action." Zhu Changwu held the gun and gave the order while taking the lead to move forward. The gunner and heavy machine gunner quickly followed, constantly approaching the enemy camp, shortening the distance between the two sides.
All operations went smoothly. Zhu Changwu got under the nose of the enemy camp and even used an unmanned reconnaissance aircraft to find the location of the enemy's main tent. However, the 20,000 Dashun military camp was still quiet.
It can't be said to be completely quiet, for example, the sound of snoring one after another is endless.
"Aim the artillery at the largest camp and be ready. The others will choose their own targets according to what they learned during training and take action in three minutes." Orders came out of Zhu Changwu's mouth, followed by the dragon soldiers. Doing pre-war inspection of weapons.
Three minutes passed by in a blink of an eye. When Zhu Changwu's right hand turned into a knife shape and fell from the air, the first cannon shot out of the chamber and landed directly next to the main tent two kilometers away. , followed by a cloud of smoke and dust.
The first miss caused the dragon soldier who fired the shell to start sweating on his face. Fortunately, another W86 as an auxiliary gun also fired, and then this medium-caliber artillery with a range of about seven kilometers fell directly on the camp, bringing up a cloud of gunpowder smoke and also destroying the camp. The camp was immediately razed to the ground.
"beat!"
After clearly seeing the destruction of the enemy's main tent through the telescope, Zhu Changwu put a smile on his face, and then gave the order to open fire unceremoniously.
For a time, the sound of gunfire and artillery could not be heard, and the Dashun Army camp, which was originally quiet, suddenly became a sea of fire and a purgatory on earth.
Poor Wu Ruyi, he was also a general who led troops, and he had won many battles for Li Zicheng before. If it were a head-on battle, these 20,000 people would even have the ability to fight the 50,000 Ming army brought by Zhu Changwu, and there would still be hope of victory.
But now, under the attack of future weapons, when the first shell fell, he just instinctively sat up on the bed. Before he could ask what was happening outside, another shell came out. It fell over and sent him directly to hell.
In the first moment of the battle, the general was directly bombarded to death, leaving the Dashun army completely headless and without the ability to organize resistance.
The Type 171 heavy machine gun is like a harvester of life, constantly spraying anger and scanning for enemies that have just appeared in any direction ahead.
A heavy machine gun is already a nightmare for the unsuspecting Dashun Army. But when the five heavy machine guns started firing from different angles, the result was that no Dashun army had a chance to rush towards Long Bing.
W86 and 40 fire were also roaring continuously, taking the military tents one after another within sight as targets, bombarding them into pieces.
More than two hundred other Type 191 assault guns are also looking for lone enemies. Once discovered, not one but several bullets will roar towards them, killing all enemies within sight.
"Leave two heavy machine guns behind to suppress fire, while the others rush forward fifty meters, get on!"
Seeing that in less than three minutes, all the enemies on the outskirts of the Dashun Army were killed, Zhu Changwu was the first to jump forward while giving the order.
The dragon soldiers attacked victoriously. The distance of fifty meters was reached in an instant, followed by another heavy firepower output, and then they continued to advance, like an underfed Pixiu, constantly devouring the enemy and injuring them severely. Dashun Army.
On the other hand, here in Dashun Army, we don't know what the situation is and why there are missiles falling from the sky.
Moreover, the power of the cannonball was so powerful that they had never seen it before.
Seeing the cannonballs falling around them, and seeing a comrade who was alive before quickly turned into a corpse, still in a state of mutilation, many Dashun soldiers turned pale.
After all, the Dashun Army is composed of farmers, and they rarely have opportunities to practice. When a war breaks out, the strategy of swarming the enemy is often adopted.
That is to say, at this time, the morale of the Ming army had already been weakened, and the soldiers were not very motivated to fight, so they were overwhelmed by these Dashun troops, and they were on the verge of collapse.
But when the Dashun Army had no chance to charge, or once the charge was broken up, their timid and fearful side would be exposed, and then they would be defeated like a mountain.
Just like just now, dozens of soldiers from the old battalion saw someone coming to kill them. When they could not contact Wu Ruyi, they hurriedly organized a death squad of hundreds of people, hoping that with these people they could rush to the enemy. Create obstacles.
In the past, this has been an effective strategy, because once they rush in front of the enemy, it may slow down the opponent's momentum. As long as they can block the first wave, a steady stream of Dashun troops will follow. Come, finally rely on the numerical advantage to determine the victory.
But now, this approach obviously doesn't work.
When hundreds of Dashun troops rushed in the direction of Zhu Changwu, what greeted them was not an opportunity for close combat at all, but bursts of sound of heavy machine guns, followed by one after another Dashun troops falling to the ground. go.
When a 12.7 mm bullet hits a human body, with such powerful force, it will make a hole wherever it hits. Its lethality is simply not something that the human body can withstand.
A wave of impact ended before his eyes.
More than a dozen soldiers from the old battalion also fell into the crowd. This scene was seen by many Dashun soldiers. They finally knew in despair that they had encountered an invincible opponent today. For a while, the morale of the soldiers dropped rapidly, and then they did not know what happened. Whoever shouted first turned around and ran away.
This is an extremely bad signal and the worst example.
After seeing this scene, many people hesitated for just a breath, then turned around and ran away. At this point, the 20,000 Dashun army was completely defeated.
"Rush up, chase them and kill them, but remember, we don't get separated. We only chase the main force, leaving the rest to the Ming soldiers behind us." Zhu Changwu stood up, shouted, and gave the order while carrying More than two hundred dragon soldiers continued to charge forward.
The number of dragon soldiers is really too small. Together, they still have enough firepower output. On the contrary, if it is dispersed, it is likely to be divided and surrounded. In that case, losses are inevitable.
The Dragon Army won the first battle, and the victory was so easy, which greatly exceeded the expectations of the Ming Army who followed behind.
Since Zhu Changwu and Long Bing came on horseback, when he launched the attack, the Ming army behind him was still several miles away from them. When the sound of cannons and gunshots rang out intensively, Wu Linzheng, who was leading the team at the front, was startled.
He originally thought that Zhu Changwu and the others were sent as scouts to find out the enemy's situation, and they should wait until he arrived with his army before taking action. But he didn't expect that they had no intention of waiting for him.
Thinking that the battle has begun, the general only has more than two hundred people on his side. If he encounters the main force of the Dashun Army, he may not be able to handle it. Then the order was quickly issued to advance with all strength.
Wu Linzheng thought he was already very fast, but when he arrived at the battlefield more than twenty minutes later, he still didn't see the general. Instead, what I saw was messes and broken limbs all over the ground.
"How cruel." Wu Linzheng sighed involuntarily when he saw that the place was full of corpses and the smell of gunpowder and blood was still spreading in the air.
"General, what should we do? Continue to pursue?" A centurion came forward and gently covered his nose. It was obvious that he was stimulated by the thick blood.
"Why don't you chase? Can't you see that the general has already won? As long as we can catch up with the general, we will have great military achievements." Wu Linzheng said quickly after he realized what he was doing.
As he spoke, Wu Linzheng couldn't help but think of the last battle at Xuanwumen.
At that time, Zhu Changwu was charging in the front, and then with the sound of gunfire, the Dashun army was blasted out of Xuanwu Gate and ran all the way to the outer city, where they beat them to a pulp.
Wu Linzheng reacted quickly. After receiving the order, his 15,000 Ming troops launched a frantic pursuit. Then they went all the way to find bargains, especially the corpses of Dashun soldiers who had been killed but whose ears had not been cut off, and became the best targets in the eyes of these Ming army recruits.
These Dashun troops all died at the hands of Long Bing.
As quasi-dragon soldiers, they did not have time to clean the battlefield, which made it easier for the Ming army recruits who followed. Of course they are willing to do this kind of thing where they can get a tael of silver by using their hands.
By cutting off their ears, their courage was also tempered invisibly. After all, not everyone has the guts to chop off the ears of a dead person. That requires a certain amount of courage and courage.
In addition to killing people, those deserters from the Dashun Army who were so frightened that their whole bodies were shaking and whose morale had dropped to freezing point were also the targets of the Ming Dynasty recruits.
Although these people are still moving, most of them have lost their weapons and have completely lost their ability to resist. It will not be too difficult to attack them. And killing such people is undoubtedly a good courage training process.
Because there were too many prisoners and dead people to target, the advance of Wu Linzheng's army began to slow down, and soon the 20,000 Ming army of Hu Yunfeng who was following behind him caught up.
Hu Yunfeng has also participated in battles, and he still has some strategic vision. When he saw that this place had been conquered by the young master, and that Wu Linzheng's men were cleaning the battlefield here, looking for an advantage, he hesitated for less than three breaths, and then ordered the army to move forward and find a way to catch up with the young master.
