Chapter Seventy-Two: Matsuyama Castle Breaks
"Brothers, don't be afraid, the firearms of the Ming army are nothing to fear, aren't so many troops still defeated at the hands of our Qing warriors?
"Look for death!" Wu Sangui looked at the Tartar who was not afraid of death, and there was no trace of sympathy in his tone, "Fire!"
As the flag officer's hand continued to wave, waiting for the Ming army musketeer, who had long been impatient, to start pulling the trigger in his hand, and as the trigger continued to be pulled, scarlet fire snakes emerged from the dark muzzle.
At this time, the Tartar cavalry was already in a high sprint, and the oncoming bullets instantly brought down a large area, and some of the Tartars fell in a pool of blood with men and horses, but the Tartar cavalry behind them did not have the slightest panic, although they were moving high, but they still used their skillful riding skills to constantly pass over the fallen companions.
At this time, Sonny was also dodging left and right, and now he could only pray to rush across this death distance quickly, "Brothers, don't be afraid, as long as we rush over, they are lambs to the slaughter!"
In fact, there is no need to cheer Sony, this group of Tartars did not put the Ming army firearms in front of them in their eyes at all, although the artillery of the Explanation Army made the Tartars suffer a big loss today, but in their hearts, the Tartars did not change their views on the Ming army's firearms.
In the eyes of the proud Tartars, as long as they resist the first wave of attacks of the Ming army, then the next victory will be theirs, and then the Ming army will become a lamb to the slaughter for them to slaughter.
The deafening sound of iron hooves was getting closer and closer, and the Tartar cavalry had already taken out their bows and arrows and shot them indiscriminately from the sky, and the five thousand cavalry were also very spectacular, and from time to time sharp arrows fell from the sky, and from time to time there were always a few unlucky ghosts who were hit by this shot.
However, today's Tartars were wrong, this group of Ming troops was not the same as before, this group of Ming troops turned out to be continuous attacks, and the rumbling guns did not stop, but as the distance between the two armies continued to close, the sound became more and more harsh.
More and more Tartars fell on the way to the charge and could not get up again, at this time Sonny's heart was dripping blood, so many warriors had died here before they even touched the enemy, how could he accept it.
Today's abnormality of the Ming army surprised Sony, but at this time he has no way to retreat, if he retreats at this time, then the entire army will only have a dead end, but there is a chance to fight forward.
As the Tartars paid the price of countless lives, the distance between them and the Ming army was further reduced, and all the Tartar cavalry had begun to discard their bows and arrows, draw their waist swords, and prepare for a short encounter. All the Tartars were fierce, they stared at the Ming musketeers in front of them, if the eyes were a knife at this time, then these Ming musketeers would have died no less than a thousand times.
However, Sony's hopes were dashed in an instant, and a loud roar was heard in the distance, and the Ming cavalry that had been lying in ambush on both sides of the musketeers finally dispatched at this time, and they were like a sharp sword straight into the ranks of the Tartars, cutting the Tartars in two in an instant.
The two cavalry collided with each other in a torrent of steel.
Unlike the Tartars who had just rushed through the death distance, the cavalry of the Ming army had already rested for a long time, and the brave Guanning Iron Cavalry was no worse than the Tartar cavalry, coupled with the advantage of physical strength, but the fierce Tartars in the field were gradually unable to parry and retreated.
The musketeers hiding behind the Ming cavalry also began to take aim, and with the sound of a burst of sounds, one after another Tartars fell in a pool of blood.
"Look, my lord, Matsuyama Castle is broken!" A sharp-eyed Tartar suddenly saw that the big flag that had been flying on the city's head had already changed its appearance at this time, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly shouted.
Just now when Sony led his troops out of the city and Wu Sangui's bloody battle, Zu Dashou took advantage of the emptiness of the south gate garrison and led his troops directly into the city.
Zu Dashou's tens of thousands of Ming troops can be said to have not encountered decent resistance in the city, a few rounds of charges, the enemy army in the city was almost wiped out, at this time the Qing army has long had no will to resist and fled.
"Withdraw, withdraw!" As soon as he saw Matsuyama City change hands, Sonny almost fainted in anger, at this time he knew that it was useless to do anything, and there was only one way to retreat in front of him.
The Qing army has long lost the courage to continue fighting, and the reason why it has not collapsed until now is completely due to the backbone of the soldiers.
Guan Ning Iron Cavalry, who has been bullied by the Tartars all the year round, finally regained his self-esteem in this battle, and desperately continued to harvest the unlucky Tartars in the back.
Wu Sangui did not show much excitement in the face of this great victory, and in his opinion, it was only natural for the whole army to win a great victory this time when it was well-equipped. Although he took Songshan City, Wu Sangui was still a little worried about the safety of Jinzhou City, and he didn't know if Jinzhou could hold it in the face of the siege of hundreds of thousands of Tartar troops.
"Quickly send an order to all the troops, give up the pursuit, and immediately transfer the whole army into Jinzhou City. The anxious Wu Sangui didn't want to waste a little more time in Songshan, he was very worried about his brother's safety, and now he wanted to rush back to Jinzhou immediately and annihilate Haoge with the officials and troops in the city.
However, what Wu Sangui didn't know was that Wang Feng deliberately set up a plan this time, on the surface, it seemed that the Ming army in Jinzhou City was only tens of thousands at most except for the distant attack on Xingshan and Daxingbao, but no one thought that the 200,000 Ming troops transferred to the west would actually kill a horse gun, and now this Haoge is fighting with this group of Ming troops in Jinzhou City.
Jinzhou City, at this time Jinzhou City has already been killed blood flowing, the unguarded Qing army was suddenly killed by the 200,000 Ming army by surprise, but although the Ming army was surprised, but the brave Qing army still gradually gained a firm foothold, the two sides of the battle for a long time could not eliminate each other for a while, and the two armies confronted each other under the city of Jinzhou.
"The young marshal's clever plan!" Song Xiance couldn't help but admire the young man in front of him, this young marshal didn't say much, but he controlled everything between applause, and even this one horse gun almost hid it from himself.
"Young marshal, young marshal, the last general is back to his life!" Cao Wenzhao had not yet arrived, and his voice sounded early.
"It's hard work! Wen Zhao! It's good that you came in time for this battle, otherwise Song Junshi and I will stay here!" Wang Feng looked at Song Xiance and quipped.
"Young marshal, what do you say, this is what the last general should do!" Cao Wenzhao really admired this young marshal in his heart, the order he gave himself was to take over the 200,000 troops advancing westward, not to mention that when he first received the news, Cao Wenzhao was really taken aback, for fear that he would not be able to complete the task.
