Chapter 86 Joint Attack
Most of the wounded soldiers of the new army were not seriously injured. Many horse-drawn carriages carrying supplies arrived at that time, and Zhao Sheng asked them to bring the people back.
Those who were seriously injured could basically still walk, but the guards refused to allow it. Those who were slightly injured just stayed by their side with a smile on their faces.
The generals who arrived saw that tens of thousands of enemies had been killed, but only a hundred or so were wounded. What was even more infuriating was that most of the wounded were walking back. If they had not seen the enemies on the ground with their own eyes, it would have been hard for them to believe what kind of battle they had just experienced.
Cheng Jushu caught up with Zhao Sheng, who was leading the central army.
"Nephew, what are you going to do?"
Zhao Sheng felt a little embarrassed when he was called "nephew", and he looked up at the sky.
"It's not even noon yet. We agreed to fight today, so we'll have to fight all day at least."
Cheng Jushu knew Zhao Sheng was implying something, but he still rode forward and said, "I think today's performance was good. Let's fight again tomorrow."
"If General Cheng is willing to charge now, I guarantee that the enemy will retreat today."
If he hadn't just seen how Zhao Sheng defeated the enemy, he wouldn't have believed anything he said. But now that Zhao Sheng said this, he became interested.
"Nephew, how do you say we fight?"
"You mobilize 30,000 shield soldiers and cavalry and intersperse them among my vanguard. When the vanguard tells you to charge, you just charge."
Although Cheng Jushu didn't understand what kind of fighting style Zhao Sheng was using, he still gave the order and 30,000 people stepped forward and stood in front of the three teams of the new army.
At first, the generals thought they were being used as human shields, but when they were still five hundred steps away from the Xiongnu camp, the vanguard shouted, "Stop!"
Everyone stopped.
Then the people in the team seemed to be shaking off lice on their bodies, and unconsciously, a gap of one person appeared between people in the team, and between the front and the back.
Later, musketeers appeared behind the shield soldiers, and all the cavalry gathered on one side of the team. It seemed that a battle was about to break out.
The Hun soldiers in the camp stood inside on full alert, waiting for the Zhou army to charge at any time.
Who knew that the army of the Great Zhou would start to act without martial ethics again, shooting arrows into the room, which caused explosions when they landed.
The most annoying thing is the crossbow on the carriage. This time, all the rockets were fired, and they were specifically fired at the tent in the middle. No one knows what was on the rockets, and the flames expanded and burned after they landed.
Bombs and rockets were fired, forcing the Hun soldiers in the camp to put out fires or flee.
The gunner behind the shield soldier patted the shield soldier on the shoulder and said, "Hey, let's move forward."
Then we saw shield soldiers and musketeers moving forward. Occasionally, arrows were shot out from the enemy camp, but for the shield soldiers and the musketeers who were well-protected, those were nothing.
When they were fifty steps away from the camp, the spearmen took out the cylinders on their bodies and opened the lids to reveal the hemp ropes.
"Brother, do me a favor and hold the hemp rope with your teeth. Don't let go."
The shield soldiers were also confused. There were orders on the battlefield that all actions should be under the command of the new army, but it did not specify whose command in the new army they should obey.
The implication is that anyone can command the new army.
Using the shield soldiers' teeth, the spearmen pulled off the hemp rope, and blue smoke came out of the cylinder. They waved their hands and threw it, and it landed right next to the wooden fence of the enemy camp.
In less than two breaths, there was a thunder and the wooden fence seemed to be damaged.
The explosives in the grenades of this period were not as powerful as those in later generations. It was obviously a bit difficult to blow up a wooden fence with just one grenade.
However, this is the only option available to the new army at the moment.
If it doesn't work the first time, try again, and the result will still look a little damaged, but the effect is not as good.
The two grenade attacks failed, and the crossbow's attack speed was limited. The enemy continued to shoot arrows. Although the damage was not great, it also revealed the enemy's weakness.
That is, the shields used by the Great Zhou army were made of wood, and they used rocket attacks.
The vehicle was in the middle of the team, about six hundred steps away from the wooden fence of the enemy camp. At this time, an archer boldly suggested moving forward another hundred steps and attacking the enemy fence with a powerful crossbow.
In fact, in ancient times, when marching and fighting, large timbers were rarely used as fences on the grasslands. It was only when they arrived in the Great Zhou Dynasty that they learned to use trees as stakes and collect some materials to form fences to prevent the enemy from sneaking into the camp.
The fences were tied with ropes they brought. The lower fixed point was in the soil, the upper fixed point was the rope, and the grenade exploded at the bottom.
Therefore, when facing thick trees, if the weapon cannot be accurately delivered to the base of the fence, its power will not cause much damage.
Zhao Sheng received a report from the shooter in front. He was not sure, but he had to try it to find out the result.
"Go inform them. If that doesn't work, increase the amount of explosives and fire it by pulling the bracelet manually."
The soldier who came to report heard Zhao Sheng's order and saluted, saying, "I will pass on the order."
The explosives on the crossbow are put on in a ring, usually in a group, and fired by hanging the string. Zhao Sheng's order just now means that the amount of explosives can be increased, and the string can be pulled manually.
Sure enough, the explosives on the crossbow are larger and more powerful than those on the grenade, and the amount is doubled.
After moving forward a hundred steps, the carriage arrived at the forefront.
The shield soldiers' shields caught fire, and the spearmen could only order themselves to retreat. It was not time to fight to the death yet, so there was no need to sacrifice themselves in vain.
The three powerful crossbows were fired again and all of them were nailed into the middle of the wooden fence, causing an instant explosion. The ropes and wooden stakes that could not withstand the power of the explosion were blown into a big hole by the crossbows.
The spearman saw this as a good opportunity and aimed his gun at the enemy archer inside.
Gunfire is not like explosives shot from a bow or crossbow, which you still have a chance to dodge.
After the gunshots rang out, the Hun soldiers saw the people around them fall down. When the gunshots rang out again, they saw more people fall down.
The crossbows continued to shoot in new directions, and holes appeared in new locations, or the fences collapsed.
The spearmen didn't care about the shieldmen and just kept shooting inside. From time to time, they also used grenades to greet the inside.
Grenades, bombs shot from crossbows, and wooden stakes that pop up from crossbows attacking the fence, each one causes damage.
Seeing this, the shield soldiers rubbed their shields on the ground to put out the burning fire. The gunmen were covered in iron armor and they hid behind them, forming another barrier.
Seeing this, the other gunners in the team also rushed over with guns, regardless of whether they were protected by shield soldiers or not. The same was true for the archers. They could shoot arrows and also shoot arrows with bombs.
Suddenly, the Dingzhou army didn't know what to do, because there was an order that the new army could only charge.
The gunman became more and more courageous as the battle went on, throwing grenades directly into the fence, leaving it riddled with holes.
The soldiers using crossbows and explosives were unhappy and also rushed forward with their weapons, continuously shooting explosives into the enemy tents.
Zhao Sheng looked at General Cheng Jushu awkwardly. He knew that no one would order the Dingzhou army to attack at this time. He said to General Cheng awkwardly:
"Old General, this order must be given by you personally. Outflank the main camp from both sides. The new troops will continue to attack from the front, leaving the enemy a way to escape, lest they become desperate and jump over the wall."
Cheng Jushu held the crescent-shaped sword Zhao Sheng had given him yesterday and said to his guards, "One team will lead the left battalion, and the other team will lead the right battalion. Send the order down and encircle them from both sides."
The guards received the order and shouted in unison: "Yes!"
So the personal guards split up and rushed towards the two armies on the left and right, while Cheng Jushu personally rode his horse towards the central army.
In fact, he just wanted to capture the enemy general so that the last battle of his life would not be in vain.
Perhaps in his heart, he is already old, and he can only hide his achievements and fame after this battle.
