will of the planet

Chapter 45 Chapter 68: Attack
Just after the envoy was executed, Lin Xiao's troops attacked again before the opponent could react.

The soldiers in this group were already frightened. After all, there was a big gap in weapons. When the enemy army came, their first reaction was not to organize a counterattack, but to turn around and run away.

They have already fallen into a trough in terms of momentum, and it is not easy to get back up.

You must know that the officers who are the core of the soldiers are also afraid. Not only did they not stop the soldiers from escaping, they also fled along with them.

Although a few officers stayed and organized soldiers to launch a counterattack, the musketeers were not vegetarians, and immediately launched an attack on these reckless guys.

Bang, bang, bang...

A row of soldiers fell down with the sound of gunfire, and even the commanding officer died on the spot, and the remaining soldiers turned around and fled.

Seeing this, the musketeers who fired were not bothered to reload the ammunition, and directly chased after them. Because of their size advantage, they ran much faster than the Zhongdi soldiers.

He caught up with the opponent in a moment and stabbed him with a bayonet. The remaining Zhongdi soldiers were unable to fight or run, so they collapsed and surrendered.

This kind of phenomenon is very common on the battlefield. Lin Xiao has given orders to take prisoners, but he has never slaughtered prisoners. This has already spread.

So it's not surprising that the Zhongdi soldiers can't fight and surrender. Although they will be arrested as coolies, they are still alive.

In this way, the clone soldiers did not kill many enemies, but captured many enemy soldiers.

After a battle, nearly a thousand soldiers were captured, which slowed down the progress of the clone soldiers.

Marching all the way, the troops of Huangsha City had already retreated to the next town, where they organized a line of defense.

"attack!"

Clone soldiers are not afraid of these Zhongdi soldiers, even if they are large in number and in favorable terrain, they are just a mob.

This is only relatively speaking, the troops of Huangsha City were considered good among the ancient soldiers, but unfortunately the weapon gap was too big, so they were beaten like this.

At this time, I saw several large ballistas launched by Zhongdi soldiers from the town, aiming at the line infantry regiment.

Under the operation of Zhongdi soldiers, the crossbow machine finally fired several crossbow arrows, which directly shot through the bodies of several gunners who were operating.

"Change the explosive bomb!" The gunner's commander immediately ordered.

The gunners quickly moved into action, took a few more rounds of crossbow arrows, and finally loaded the explosive shells and fired them at the enemy's crossbow machine.

Several shells fell straight into the vicinity of the ballista, smashing several large craters. There was no explanation for this. The explosion directly overturned the surrounding Zhongdi soldiers, spitting blood one by one.

Their internal organs have basically been shattered, and they will not live long. More importantly, those large crossbow machines were directly destroyed.

Without the interference of the ballista, the artillerymen concentrated on bombarding the enemy's positions, killing many Zhongdi soldiers immediately.

Although the blasting bombs were easy to use, they were not in large quantities, and they were all used up at once, but this also cast a great shadow on the Zhongdi soldiers.

After there were no explosive shells, the gunners replaced them with slightly less powerful grape shells, which was also a nightmare for the Zhongdi soldiers.

A round of grape bullets penetrated into the enemy army, and in cooperation with the musketeers, a blank area was created in an instant.

Under the orders of the officers, the soldiers in the middle ground were extremely reluctant to come to fill the vacancy, but it would not be long before it became a blank area again.

Such a tragic battle situation made the Zhongdi soldiers behind them terrified, but the soldiers who were supervising behind them directly went to the battlefield with their knives against them.

As long as you slow down or hesitate, you will be executed on the spot.

Under such circumstances, soldiers can only bite the bullet and go to the battlefield.

This situation did not last for too long, the grape bombs were too terrifying, and greatly consumed the strength of the Huangsha City troops.

Their death rate was so fast that the defense line was quickly breached, and the clone troopers marched straight forward, shooting the enemy troops in front of them.

As several officers were nodded by musketeers holding rifles, the central soldiers on the front line were finally routed and fled to the rear.

Of course, not all the officers died. The commanders at the back directly sent a reserve team to stand at the back, accepting the defeat, and launching a counterattack against the line infantry regiment.

This is indeed effective, but the reserve team is not the opponent of the line infantry regiment. The Musketeers are arranged in a neat formation and approach step by step.

This caused great psychological pressure on the reserve team, even though there were many archers among them, they shot at the Musketeers and killed many of them.

But those musketeers didn't seem to see the death of their comrades-in-arms, which caused even more psychological pressure.

The two sides fired at each other for several rounds, the reserve team collapsed immediately, and the timid soldiers fled in all directions, which directly gave the line infantry regiment a chance to massacre.

The three-stage strike directly cleared away the soldiers in the middle ground who were routed in front of them. Looking at the few enemy troops, the line infantry regiment directly charged.

The infantry's charge was not as shocking as the cavalry's, but it was also very effective, and the last reserve of the Huangshacheng troops was finally wiped out.

Although there are nearly 3 troops left in Huangsha City, they are already broken and divided into several groups, the largest of which does not exceed [-].

This is also an opportunity to hunt down, and the rout is much easier to deal with than the soldiers who dare to take up weapons to fight against themselves.

To deal with the rout, the commanders of the line infantry did not disperse. Even though that was more effective, it was also very dangerous.

He directly rallied the troops, chased and killed a large group of routs, and wiped out the enemy's vital forces as close as possible, without worrying too much about danger.

After all, the soldiers in Zhongdi were so badly defeated and lost a large number of officers that it was almost impossible to reorganize.

The two line infantry regiments killed a large number of enemy troops along the way, and the battle lasted until night before withdrawing.

This time Lin Xiao won a big victory, and the decline of Huangsha City was also exposed. Their elite was basically wiped out, leaving less than 3 recruits.

However, the opponent still has nearly 7 broken soldiers in total, and if they are assembled, it will be a force.

Of course, it is still very difficult for them to gather. Let alone whether these defeated soldiers still have fighting spirit, you must know that they have been dispersed, and it is still a problem to find them.

Lin Xiao wasn't going to give them a chance to gather, but it was still difficult for him who was short of troops to wipe out these rout soldiers.

He didn't intend to trouble these routs either. His troops were currently less than 20 kilometers away from Huangsha City, and he only needed to kill the feudal nobles in Huangsha City.

These rout soldiers have basically lost their allegiance, so how can they fight against him? These civilians do not have the democratism in the history of the earth.

They only need to eat enough and have a peaceful life, so they don't care who the ruler is above them. No one takes the lead, so naturally they won't fight against Lin Xiao. come to this conclusion.
