Chapter 291: Defenseless
In the face of the almost perverted firepower of the Tianwu Army, the Qing army still did not retreat, but still insisted on advancing, and after two rounds of artillery bombardment, there were still about twenty shield vehicles left.
At this time, the Qing army was more than 300 steps away from the trenches of the Tianwu army, which was not enough to cross this distance in the time of a reload and reload, and people kept falling to the ground and dying.
Some of the Qing troops who had lost their shield vehicles simply began to run towards the trenches of the Tianwu Army, trying to kill the artillery.
After several charges, many Qing troops have advanced to within 100 paces of the trenches of the Tianwu Army, which is a relatively safe distance, because the artillery is bombarded in the central area, and the front is regarded as a dead angle for the artillery.
Entering the firing corner of the artillery did not mean that the Qing army could sit back and relax, most of the Qing army did not have shield vehicles as cover, and the musketeers of the Tianwu Army began to exert their power.
First of all, the sniper brigade went into battle, and there were a total of 150 sniper infantry in the Tianwu Army, looking for the Qing army's Jiala, Niulu, and Baijia soldiers, aiming at the target.
In the sound of artillery, the sound of rifled guns rang out sparsely, and the commanders of the middle and lower levels such as Niu Lu Zhangjing and Bai Jia in the Qing army formation were shot to death one after another, and the command of the Qing army began to be confused.
"Fire!"
As the Qing army continued to advance, the musketeers of the Tianwu army who hid in the trenches began to fire a volley, and the dense gunfire was like autumn rain, dense and endless, but the Qing army could not feel a trace of romance, only infinite death horror.
Almost all of the Qing troops fell in rows, and corpses and blood quickly piled up on the battlefield.
At this time, Duoduo's face was pale, he never expected that the firepower of the Tianwu Army would reach such a perverted and fierce level, and at this time, the few armorers who fought at this time were probably more than half injured.
It stands to reason that it is best to retreat now, but the firepower of the Tianwu Army in the rear is also extremely ferocious, with tens of thousands of people in several musket formations blocked there, and there are hundreds of tiger squat cannons with shotguns in the middle, and they can't retreat at all.
Duoduo suddenly felt that he was being played by the prince of Mingguo, which made him even more angry.
With the current firepower of the Tianwu Army, if he sends the infantry up, I am afraid it will only increase the casualties, and Duoduo does not have too many infantry troops to send, so he can't fill in the elite with white flags.
A distraught Duoduo shouted, "The cavalry rushes forward! ”
Duoduo sent all the cavalry troops out, hoping to use the speed of the cavalry to quickly break through the defenses of the Tianwu Army and occupy those artillery.
He led the white flag, the red flag, the blue flag and other bayalas, and some horse armor soldiers, foot armor soldiers followed the back of the cavalry formation, and also rushed up, not how brave Duoduo was, but the artillery fire in the middle was too dense to stay for a long time.
The Qing army led by Duoduo had a total of nearly 7,000 cavalry, and all of them were sent out at once, and although the galloping momentum of thousands of war horses was not as earth-shattering as the artillery bombardment, it was also very amazing.
Lu Xiangsheng on the command platform couldn't help but get nervous, in the concept of people in this era, cavalry is the most powerful type of troops on the battlefield, and the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry is powerful, and the Ming army has also paid for it many times.
Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but say: "Your Highness, the cavalry of the Qing captives has come up. ”
Zhu Cihong laughed and said: "Lu Qing, don't worry, just a few thousand cavalry, just want to rush across the well-designed trenches of the palace, it's just wishful thinking!" ”
With the width and depth of the trenches of the Tianwu Army, it was not easy for the cavalry to jump over, not to mention that there were three-foot-high mud bags behind the trenches.
Even if the potential of the Lu horse that was brought into play by the Qing cavalry jumped over, behind the trench was a lake beach, and the ground was soft, which was even more unfavorable for the cavalry to run, and they would be beaten when they came.
Lu Xiangsheng looked at Zhu Cihong, stunned for a while and couldn't speak, and suddenly felt that the crown prince was young, but the routines were one after another, and the Qing army was beaten to the point that he had no power to fight back.
No, it should be said that it is a ploy one after another.......
"Fire!"
"Fire!"
.......
The various artillery battalions of the Tianwu Army kept issuing orders, and each time, hundreds of black iron balls fell in a range, and wherever they passed, blood mist splashed everywhere, and severed limbs flew sideways.
Shells roared into the Qing cavalry formation, sprinkled with the blood and internal organs of the Qing army everywhere, and there were bursts of wailing, so that the cavalry of the Qing army had to disperse the charge and reduce losses.
The artillery of the Tianwu Army used a salvo tactic, and each artillery battalion fought separately, with a unified order, and Zhu Cihong called it a platoon artillery killing, and the killing effect was amazing, and whoever was beaten knew it.
The white flag of Baya Lama Zhangjing Haning, Rao is conceited and brave, has fought for half his life, and has seen all the winds and waves, but at this time his face is also pale and his heart is cold.
Even if the warriors of the Eight Banners are brave and can break boulders in their chests and slide and shovel the Siberian Tigers, what can they do? Isn't it lost after taking a shot?
He shouted at Duoduo: "Prince Yu, the artillery of the Ming army is too fierce, let's withdraw our troops!" ”
Duoduo roared angrily: "Lao Tzu also wants to withdraw, but can he withdraw!" ”
Haninga didn't believe in this evil, and personally organized people to charge the seal, and in less than two quarters of an hour, the veteran's body was already cold.
The 2,000 elite Manchurian soldiers led by Haninga were directly beaten by dozens of thunder chariots blocked there, and after the thunder chariots were finished, thousands of musketeers received several more volleys, and Haninga was beaten into a hornet's nest on the spot.
Haning'a's death did not cause much trouble in the Qing army, because now everyone is very busy, wandering on the single-plank bridge between life and death, and if you are not careful, you will never recover.
Duoduo too, he just wanted to break through the damn artillery of the Ming army, part of the trenches of the battle situation, turn over and bombard the Ming army with artillery, and use the mud bags behind the trenches to block the Ming army's firearms.
Behind the trenches, the musketeers of the Tianwu Army lined up in an array of three rows of continuous fire, and grenades were thrown from time to time.
At a distance of about thirty steps in front of the Tianwu Army's front, it was as if there was an invisible wall blocking it, and the Qing army fell one row when they went forward, and then one row before they fell into the next row, and they couldn't break through the trench at all.
The number of Qing troops is rapidly decreasing, but the corpses piled up on the ground are increasing rapidly.
At this time, the sound of the Qing army's dense horse hooves finally passed through the sound of guns and cannons, and the cavalry of the Qing army finally rushed up and approached the trenches of the Tianwu army.
"All fire support on the left flank!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang ......."
The sound of gunfire, which was as dense as a torrential rain hitting the earth, suddenly rang out, and the rain of bullets, which was denser than the torrential rain and hail, swept towards the cavalry of the Qing army.
With the volley of musketeers, a long line of intersecting and impermeable firepower was woven in front of the line of the Tianwu Army.
And in the face of this firepower network that surpassed this era, the cavalry charging force of the Qing army immediately stopped dumbfounded, and the cavalry was like a crop eaten by locusts, and it was gnawed in a blink of an eye.
