Chapter 269: The Qing Army's Desperate Breakthrough (Plus Update)
The red flag-inlaid defense line has shrunk, the Tianwu Army has advanced layer by layer, the encirclement has become smaller and smaller, and the original four gaps have been filled with people.
Around the camp with red flags, there were shield carts and shields everywhere to defend against the attacks of the Ming army.
Yue Tuo's face turned a little pale, he never expected that the combat effectiveness of this Ming army was so strong, and the attacks of two consecutive groups of cavalry failed to break through the defense line of the Ming army.
At this time, Yue Tuo's mood was like a perennial thief picking flowers, and when he was unscrupulous and habitually peeping at the weak and weak Huanghua girl, he was beaten by the Huanghua girl, and his state of mind was difficult for ordinary people to understand........
Du Du's face was ugly, and he said: "General Yangwu, if we continue like this, we will be surrounded to death, the range of the Ming army's firearms is too far and poisonous, and then we will have no ability to fight back at all!" ”
The remaining 3,000 men and horses of the whole army with red flags were all dressed in helmets and armor, and they were full of fear and longing on their faces, and they only waited for General Yangwu to give an order, and they would break through to the death.
Looking at the son in the flag, Yue Tuo's heart was as sad as constipation, and the originally unstoppable warrior with red flags has now become like this.
However, Yue Tuo also knows that the most important thing on the battlefield is to make a decision immediately, and he must not hesitate to miss the fighter, the current situation is very bad, and he needs to make a decision as a coach!
Yue Tuo stood on the command platform, glanced at the whole army, and said loudly: "Warriors, don't panic, my Qing army is invincible!" Even if there are tens of thousands of Ming troops, my Qing soldiers can also forcibly break through! ”
"Breakout! Breakthrough! Breakthrough! ”
Thousands of Manchurian soldiers with red flags raised their weapons and roared in unison, and everyone's eyes flashed with ruthlessness.
Yue Tuo nodded with satisfaction, and raised his arms fiercely and shouted: "The whole army obeys the order and breaks through!" ”
"Boom! Rumble! Boom ......."
When the red flag shouted slogans, Mao Yuanyi directly ordered to take the lead in attacking and give them a blow to the head.
Dozens of artillery pieces fired together from different directions, and a large number of shells fell into the array of the Qing army, which immediately triggered a series of tragic events, and hundreds of people were broken, scrapped, and killed.
Yue Tuo's command platform was outside the range of the artillery, and no shells hit him, but it also made him break out in a cold sweat, and the artillery of the Ming army gradually advanced forward, and it would soon cover the entire battalion, Yue Tuo was a little panicked in his heart.
The dense layers of Qing army's heavy-armored pikemen shouted and rushed towards the artillery array of the Tianwu army, and they used the ten-foot-long eight-banner spear and the eight-foot-long tiger spear.
The Manchurian soldiers inlaid with the red flag are the elite of the Eight Banners, they are all thickly armored and stout, and they rush so desperately, it seems that they have an unstoppable momentum.
Looking at the Eight Banners who rushed towards him, Bai Bai, an artilleryman of the Tianwu Army, exclaimed: "Dare to charge at the artillery array, the Tartars are really awesome!" ”
An artilleryman was a little panicked and said, "Mr. Bai, what should we do?" Stand back and let the musketeers get on? ”
Mr. Bai kicked the artilleryman and said, "What should I do?" You're a coward! They are infantry, not cavalry, so I'm afraid of hair! ”
Bai Zong shouted fiercely: "Replace all shells with shotguns, and salute the brave Tartars with shotguns!" ”
.........
"Ready!"
"Fire!"
"Boom! Rumble! Boom ......."
After a round of shotgun strikes, the brave Qing army's heavy-armored spearmen suffered hundreds of casualties in an instant, and the originally dense array was empty, and the battlefield was full of broken arms and legs, and a bloody patch.
Even if they were suppressed by strong firepower, the Manchurian soldiers with the red flag still stepped forward bravely, and had advanced to within 100 steps of the Tianwu army, and there were a large number of shield vehicles and shield soldiers behind them who slowly followed, because the shield vehicles and shields in the red flag camp were limited, and it was more time-consuming to gather them from all over the battalion.
When the Manchurian soldiers entered the range of the Tianwu Army, the musketeers raised their muskets and aimed at the heavily armored Qing soldiers who rushed in place.
"Fire!"
The deafening sound of intensive musket fire rang out, a large area of gunpowder smoke rose up, and a large group of heavy armored soldiers of the Qing army with spears and halberds rolled to the ground, and under the fierce blows of the musketeers, the Qing army also suffered heavy casualties.
"Fire!"
After the first row of musketeers completed the salvo, they immediately quickly retreated to the last row, and the hundreds of musketeers in the second row raised their muskets in dense layers, and mercilessly pulled the plate machine at the Qing army who were frantically rushing and killing.
A row of flames erupted, the gunfire was incessant, and it merged into a large deafening volley of firearms, and the Qing soldiers wearing heavy armor on the opposite side were shot in large quantities, and a cloud of blood mist appeared from their bodies, and they fell to the ground one by one, covering their wounds and howling in pain.
"Fire!"
........
"Fire!"
After the fearless head iron persevered for a few rounds and paid a heavy price, the red flag warriors finally chose to admit it, and many people began to look for hidden cover to hide, such as the corpses of their companions........
After all, the Manchurian soldiers are elite, not comparable to the Liukou and the Ertars, and the fighting quality is still very strong, while dodging the musket blows of the Tianwu Army, some archers also take the opportunity to shoot back at the Tianwu Army, and let go of an arrow to shrink, which looks very obscene.
I have to admit that these Manchurian soldiers who have practiced riding and archery since childhood, their craftsmanship is really good, and the lethality of Manchurian soldiers' bows and arrows within 60 steps is still quite terrifying, and the feather arrows shot are accurate and ruthless.
The head of the Tianwu army is protected by helmets, but even if it only reveals a little gap, it will be caught by them, especially the arms without armor protection, which have become the main target of the Qing army.
The musketeers of the Tianwu Army were continuously hit by arrows, although they would not die after being hit by arrows, they basically lost their combat effectiveness, and the combat attrition of the Tianwu Army was also rising rapidly.
However, there are not many people in the Qing army who are proficient in archery after all, and there are only one or two hundred people with the level of archery in the Olympic Games, and it is very difficult to survive on the battlefield in the face of the powerful and dense fire suppression of the musketeers of the Tianwu Army.
Soon, the shield carts and shield soldiers behind the Qing army formed a line and pushed up, and the remaining Qing soldiers almost all hid behind the shield carts and shields, advancing steadily.
Mao Yuanyi changed the command flag in his hand, and shouted: "Order, all departments march in formation, and all the red flags will be annihilated!" ”
The drums of war were beating, and all units of the Tianwu Army began to adjust their formations, with the pikemen of the baggage soldiers in front and the musketeers in the rear, and began to install bayonets.
"Forward!"
Long spears and bayonets were like a forest, accompanied by the sound of offensive war drums, several large phalanxes were like moving castles, slowly moving towards the Qing army in the center, and making the final hunt for the remaining 2,000 people with red flags.
"Kill!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
In the overwhelming shouts, the momentum of the Tianwu Army is like a rainbow, like Mount Tai pressing the top, everyone is proud on their faces, as long as the killing sound is together, no one can stop their progress, even the most elite Eight Banners Manchurian soldiers can't!
