Kai Fu Han

Chapter 598 Strong
Hao Baoyi clearly felt that although the soldiers responded loudly to him, their morale was very high.

But it was obvious that the soldiers lacked confidence.

We only have 2000 people on our side, and the enemy is ten times more numerous than us.

The gap is too great.

Moreover, the four battalions in this battle were all cavalry battalions and did not have a single artillery piece.

As long as there is an artillery battalion, I will have a lot more confidence.

Amidst the banging of military drums, the three infantry battalions were divided into three square formations and advanced slowly, leaving a hundred soldiers behind to watch the unrided horses.

The Xixia Army didn't know if they were overwhelmed by the "courage" of the Xinghan League, but they didn't respond for a while.

Perhaps when 2 people charge into the formation of 500 people, people will be surprised. They wonder if the [-] people who charge into the formation have some unknown trump card.

Hao Baoyi could imagine that the commander-in-chief of the Xixia Army must be thinking: "Are these more than 1000 people crazy?!"

"Two hundred steps! Form the whole team!" A battalion commander commanded from the front.

The military formation slowed down its speed and ensured that the formation was orderly before continuing to advance under the orders of the battalion commander.

"150 steps! Steps! Get ready!"

The Xixia army had already begun to counterattack. The cavalry was divided into two groups and circled around both sides of the infantry formation.

However, as soon as it started, the [-] cavalrymen who had been separated from the Xinghan League circled back and moved directly towards the Xixia cavalry. The leaked Chinese army rushed over, forcing the Xixia cavalry to withdraw again.

The infantry formation of the Xinghan League continued to advance, stopping every step.

"Forward!" "Kill!"

"Forward!" "Kill!"

The momentum is like a rainbow, very powerful, as if there are 2 people on our side, while the enemy Xixia only has 500 people.

"One hundred steps!"

"Eighty steps!"

"Seventy steps! Get ready!"

Swishing, the muskets leaning on the shoulders were taken off, and the muskets that had been loaded with ammunition were evenly pointed towards the Xixia army on the opposite side, which was already waiting for them.

The Xixia Army not only defended, but also sent two thousand servants to the left and right sides, approaching the flank of the Xinghan Allied Forces formation.

The [-] cavalry of the Xinghan League were restrained by the enemy's [-] cavalry, and no more troops came to harass the Xixia army and attack the flanks.

The five hundred Suide cavalry who left the city still stopped and watched, with no intention of intervening.

"shooting!"

Boom boom boom!The first row of shield soldiers on the opposite side of the enemy immediately fell hundreds of people, leaking out the pikemen behind them.

"shooting!"…

The design frequency of the first four rounds is very fast. It takes almost two breaths to shoot out all four rounds of ammunition. The next step is to shoot one more round in one breath.

After five or six rounds, the Xixia army on the opposite side tried to charge forward and fired a wave of arrows, but the distance was too far and even the musketeers in the first row of the military formation were not hit.

The Xixia servant armies on both sides had already arrived. To greet them, Han soldiers threw grenades. Dozens of grenades were thrown into the crowd. Boom!boom!The explosion directly made these second-line troops afraid to move forward.

After three more rounds of musketry, the whole line was immediately defeated.

At this moment, the Suide cavalry attacked, with the target: the commander-in-chief flag of the Xixia Army.

The Xixia cavalry immediately sent out three thousand cavalry to meet them.

"Give us the order to let our cavalry use grenades." Hao Baoyi ordered.

The flag bearer began to wave the colorful flags in his hands and pass the order to the Xinghan League cavalry who were still guerrillas.

It didn't take long,

boom!boom!boom!
The grenade exploded in the cavalry formation pursued by the Xixia Army.These horses had never encountered such a close-range loud noise in their entire lives, and immediately more than half of the horses lost control.

The Xinghan League cavalry turned a corner and rushed straight towards the commander-in-chief flag of the Xixia army. Halfway through, some Xixia cavalry blocking the way were shot down by muskets or killed by sabers.

"Forward! One step at a time!"

The gun formations began to move forward in rotation.

The Xixia Army's defensive formation was already showing signs of collapse. The people in front fell, and the soldiers behind did not dare to move forward to make up for it, and even slowly retreated unconsciously.

"Two steps, one shot!" The order continued to be issued, and the rotation speed of the military formation accelerated.

"Run!" A Xixia soldier shouted, dropped his weapon and ran away, and was then hacked to death by the supervising team behind him.

However, the defeat has already begun and cannot be stopped by killing one or two deserters.

More and more Xixia soldiers began to flee.

What's even more amazing is that the gate of Suide City opened again, and more than 2000 infantrymen rushed out from inside.

A true pincer attack from both front and back!This further aggravated the defeat of the Xixia Army.

The last straw that broke the camel's back was when the Xixia military commander's flag fell down. A grenade flew through the crowd and landed next to the flagpole. I don't know whether it killed the person holding the flag or broke the flagpole. With a loud bang, After the sound, the flagpole slowly fell down.

The rout was out of control.

"Won!"

Two thousand versus twenty thousand.

……

While they were fighting under the city of Suide, soldiers from the Xinghan League were also killing the Xixia army outside Nanmubo Town in Huanzhou in the west.

On the second day after the city was broken, the Xixia Army of Tongyuan City sent a force of 4000 people to plunder Mubo Town, south of Tongyuan City. Tian Yingsun caught him and ambushed him in Mubo. The [-] cavalry in the town rushed out directly when the enemy troops lazily gathered outside the town. With the soldiers not moving forward, the sharp arrow array directly penetrated the Xixia army's marauding troops.

After going back and forth three times, the Xixia army could no longer gather a team of more than ten people. The next step was to clean the battlefield and capture prisoners.

"too weak."

"This is definitely not the main force. The main force is probably at ease in Tongyuan City." Tian Yingsun replied.

"Are we just going to watch those Xixia troops do evil?" An officer under his command put forward an opinion.

"No! We will rush into the city today and fight with them in the streets." Tian Yingsun replied.

Our side has complete armor, including muskets, grenades, and soldiers making sharp knives. Street fighting can avoid coming into contact with too many enemies at the same time, and our side has a great advantage.

"Find some suitable prisoner clothes, choose a hundred elite ordinary soldiers to wear them, and deceive the city gate." Seeing that the station was almost cleaned, Tian Yingsun ordered again.

This trick was often used in the past when the Xinghan Alliance had few soldiers.

The trick is old, but very useful.

The troops that went out to plunder became broken troops, and they returned to Tongyuan City one after another. After seeing more, the Xixia soldiers guarding the city were not surprised.

It wasn't until more than twenty broken soldiers returned together that they stepped forward and asked, "Are there any more behind?"

"There's more." The defeated soldier replied as he approached.

The defenders felt something was wrong...the accent was wrong!
"The enemy is stealing the city!" As soon as he shouted, someone cut off his head with a knife from behind.

It turned out that dozens of soldiers from the Xinghan League had sneaked into the city sporadically before. They cooperated with each other from the inside and outside, and the south gate of Tongyuan City was quickly controlled.

A signal flare shot into the sky.

On the official road in the distance, a large number of cavalry rushed over. They did not slow down at all along the way and charged at the fastest horse speed.

He didn't stop at the city gate and rushed straight into the city.

Street fighting begins.
