Chapter 219: Bloody Battle
When these rebels were in the Ming Dynasty, they had no fighting spirit to deal with the Eastern Cavalry. xiashu9999
After the surrender of the Eastern Captivity, their combat power actually soared, and they braved the rain of bullets and bullets of the Ming army and began to shoot arrows to kill the Ming army, it seems that they were born to be the material of dog slaves.
Although this tactic was completely death-hunting, because of the huge advantage in numbers, it still temporarily suppressed the flintlock pistol of the Ming army.
Everyone has the impression that the Ming army's combat strength is very poor, and it is often defeated in a battle in the face of the Eight Banners of Eastern Capture.
But that is a premise, the military salary is not paid in arrears, and it is seriously exploited, not to mention, often even the problem of food and clothing cannot be solved, which soldier is willing to work hard for you.
After Zhu Youzhen crossed over, all this has undergone tremendous changes, and the military salary of three taels of silver every month is a lot of money, which is paid on time and in full, and corrupt officials and corrupt officials are almost wiped out.
Although there is still a gap between the Ming army and the Eastern Capture in terms of combat strength due to lack of training, it is no worse than the Eight Banners of the Eastern Capture in terms of will and spirit.
Seeing the soldiers being hit by arrows one after another, the eyes of nearly a thousand coachmen and miscellaneous servants were red.
Without Huang Fei's order, they immediately grabbed their shields and rushed to the side of the Ming flintlock musketeers.
He used his body and shield to defend them against the rain of arrows, without caring about his own body being exposed to the rain of arrows.
"Da Da Da"
The flintlock muskets stalled slightly, and the rebel cavalry rushed to a distance of more than thirty paces, and as soon as the horses picked up speed, they could touch the grain carts.
"Bang Bang"
Suddenly, the Ming army's flintlock pistols fired intensively again, and after the distance was closer, the flintlock pistols hit more often, and the rebel cavalry splashed with clouds of blood mist, and then fell from their horses. x
The two Ming army support teams in the car formation became the busiest people, they ran around inside, and if there was any danger, they immediately filled it.
After the casualties of the Ming army, with their support, the combat strength was not greatly affected, and if it were not for them, there would have been a place that would have been broken away by the rebels. x
In this fierce battle, the Ming army fought more with less, and so far has not been captured by the east.
Of course, it is related to Huang Fei's tactics, but more importantly, it is supported by the determination and will of the Ming soldiers to fight to the death for the Ming Dynasty.
There were five or six wounded soldiers standing beside Huang Fei, who could no longer raise their guns, but they did not retreat, still reloading Huang Fei's bullets.
What a yellow flew, he didn't aim when he took the gun, and he killed a rebel by pulling the trigger, and these five or six wounded soldiers were loaded with ammunition, just enough for him to shoot the thieves.
"Grandma, is the Ming army so awesome now, let General Ben rush forward."
Seeing that so many of them were actually in a state of stalemate with the Ming army, Meng Qiaofang and Sun Dingliao were furious and immediately ordered the private soldiers around them to charge.
There were more than a thousand elites around the two traitors, and when they heard the order, they immediately urged their horses to kill the Ming army.
The rebels in front of the battle suffered a large number of casualties under the fierce fire of the Ming army's flintlock pistols, and many of them had stopped fighting.
But driven by these elites, they rushed forward again.
The Ming army under the command of Huang Fei is not a system summoner, and there is no combat power of the summoner, although there is a determination to die, but the ultimate ability is limited.
The elite of the 1,000 rebels who had just gone up became the last straw that broke the camel's back, and soon the right flank of the Ming army was broken by the rebels.
Several carriages full of grain and grass were instantly overturned by the rebels, and the rebels rushed into the car formation, and the Ming army could only pick up flintlock pistols and quickly install bayonets to fight them hand-to-hand.
As soon as Shuotuo saw that the car formation was broken, he immediately ordered the red flag to kill the Ming army.
The Ming army, which had just relied on the advantage of flintlock pistols to fight against the eastern captives, could now only be forced to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy, which they were not good at.
Huang Fei knew that after the end, not only would he not be able to keep the grain, grass and military supplies today, but his soldiers of the Daming Water Division would probably be wiped out.
Drawing his bayonet and loading it on the flintlock pistol, Huang Fei shouted:
"Soldiers, fight with them in a bayonet formation, and the coachman is ready to set fire to the grain wagon."
"Yes"
The Ming army and the rebels in front were in a bitter battle at this time, and a squad was almost wiped out, and under their desperate resistance, Huang Fei had the opportunity to command the remaining Ming army and quickly formed two phalanxes.
In the face of the onslaught of cavalry, if the infantry could not fight in coordination, they would soon be scattered by the cavalry, and once they were scattered, it meant being slaughtered.
Only by forming a phalanx can we have a certain combat effectiveness and reduce the possibility of the Ming army being unilaterally slaughtered by the opponent to the greatest extent.
Holding a flintlock pistol loaded with bayonets, Huang Fei stood at the front of the method, looking at the rebels rushing towards him with cold eyes.
The cavalry who rushed forward first came to him, and as soon as he raised his scimitar, the bayonet in Huang Fei's hand stabbed forward, and shouted in his mouth:
"Thorn"
"Poof"
The bayonet from the flintlock pistol in his hand stabbed hard into his opponent's body.
At the same time, the dozen or so cavalrymen who had just rushed over, the scimitars in their hands had not yet fallen, and they had been pierced into a hornet's nest by the bayonets of the Ming army.
On the other side of the phalanx, hundreds of rebel cavalry were also stabbed to death by bayonets on the periphery of the infantry phalanx.
The Ming troops in the phalanx took the opportunity to load their bullets and immediately opened fire on the swarming rebel cavalry.
"Bang Bang"
There was a burst of gunfire, and another hundred rebel cavalrymen were killed by flintlock guns.
However, there were more and more cavalry of the opponent, and there were rebel cavalry on all sides, and the red flag of the Eastern Capture also joined the battle at this time.
The weak Ming army, despite desperate resistance from the infantry phalanx, immediately suffered a large number of casualties.
Soon the phalanx was dispersed by the rebels and the Tartars, and the scattered Ming soldiers fell one by one under the swords of the traitors and the Eastern Tartars.
But when they fell, as long as they still had a breath, they would use their last strength to stab their bayonets into the opponent's body before closing their eyes, and they died a very heroic death.
Huang Fei stabbed a rebel to death with a bayonet, and turned back to order the coachman:
"Coachmen, there are no traitors behind us for the time being, hurry up and burn the grain cart and die with them."
Huang Fei knew that there were many cars with ammunition and guns, and these things must not fall into the hands of the Eastern Captivity.
Once captured by the East, they will all become murder weapons to kill the people of the Ming Dynasty.
As long as they are ignited, not only can the Tartars work in vain, but under the burning and explosion of gunpowder, the Tartars will definitely suffer a lot of casualties.
"General, we will execute it immediately."
These grains, grasses and military supplies were all brought by them with hard work, and the coachmen had tears in their eyes, although they were very reluctant.
But they did not disobey Huang Fei's order, and quickly lit the torches and prepared to throw them on the grain and grass carts.
At this moment, Shuo Tuo slapped his horse and killed, and when he saw that the Ming army was going to burn the grain and grass, of course he was unwilling, and immediately gave an order:
"Shoot them with arrows, and don't let them set fire to the grain cart."
"Chirp"
The Eastern cavalry who followed him immediately took off their bows and arrows, and began to fire arrows at the coachmen with torches.
"Whoosh" x
With the sound of the bowstring, a rain of arrows flew towards the coachmen's handymen who wanted to set the carts on fire.
"Quick, protect the coachman."
Seeing that the situation was not good, Huang Fei shouted at the Ming army beside the coachmen.
More than 100 soldiers of the Ming Army quickly picked up the shields scattered on the ground, formed a shield formation in front of the coachmen, and fired most of the arrows at the coachmen's miscellaneous servants.
But there were still a small number of arrows that hit the coachmen's handymen, and they still threw their torches at the grain carts despite the arrows in their bodies.
"Da Da Da"
Suddenly, there was a loud noise, and the entire ground began to shake violently.
Behind the Eastern Raiders and the rebel thieves, a team of black-clad and black-armored cavalry suddenly appeared, similar to a black whirlwind, quickly smashing into the thief army. i
