Chapter 195: Obsolete

Da Celing Dundob was also rubbing his hands nervously.

Through the smoke of the battlefield, he could see that Liu Yu was moving more than 1,000 people from the Chinese army to the southern front.

"He's panicking, he's panicking! He began to move the Chinese army to the south. ”

"You should wait a little longer, and wait until the Chinese army has supported those soldiers in the south to participate in the battle, and then rush when they can't retreat."

"But we can't wait too long, lest the hill go back to support the Chinese army. The 4,000 elite cavalry of the little Tseling Dundob should be able to break away from their Chinese army. As soon as the Chinese army was rushed away, his southern front was surrounded. ”

This and such thoughts kept flashing in his heart, and Da Ce Ling Dun Dobu's heart was excited, and the opportunity that he had been waiting for for a long time seemed to have appeared.

The battle on the southern front was a bit chaotic, and the cavalry that went around the flank did not rush away from the Han army in one fell swoop, but were stuck by the two infantry who formed a phalanx.

After unloading the impact, the cavalry of the cunning Han army recoiled from the flanks.

The Han army, numbering about 1,000 people, marched from the direction of the Chinese army to the south to support. The cannons of the quasi-department were basically reversed, and Da Celing Dundobu could only watch as those men in the distance marched without scruples.

But it's not a big problem.

He believed that the greatest reliance of these Han troops was the musket. It's okay to shoot against each other, but once you fight hand-to-hand, you will never be an opponent on your side.

On the southern front, he concentrated nearly 5,000 cavalry, more than 4,000 musketeers, plus about 4,000 foot battles.

This is already almost half of the troops.

It's just that the number of Qingzhou troops on the southern front is also quite large. Da Celing Dun Dob estimated that there were almost more than twenty heavy guns, a large number of small guns, nearly 3,000 infantry, and 3,000 cavalry.

These people are very good at defense, and with the bombardment of artillery, it is not easy to break through directly on the southern front.

The northern front and the central army also had musketeers and infantry who were shooting at each other, which would cost a large number of troops of the Great Ce Ling Dun Dob, and the decisive assault force in his hands was the 4,000 elite cavalry of the little Ce Ling Dun Dob.

"Wait."

Thinking so, he summoned Celingdondob the Younger, as well as the Polish cavalry major Poshevsky, who had been captured earlier.

The infantry on the flanks of the southern front could be seen forming a hollow phalanx, which was a serious blockade to the cavalry, and he wanted to determine whether he could break through.

Poelszewski was confident that his father, who had fought in the siege of Vienna 50 years earlier, would be able to rise to the rank of major in the Polish army, apparently from an aristocratic background. In the original historical Battle of Hetongbo, Poshevsky led the quasi-cavalry to launch a wedge-shaped charge, which broke the Manchu formation and forced him to commit suicide.

He is still capable, and he is also from a noble background and has a deep understanding of cavalry.

Although the Dchengars did not have a hussar and could not have trained one, Poshevsky believed that these infantry phalanxes could not hinder the cavalry charge.

The southern front was blocked, and in Porshevsky's opinion, the real problem was the nearly 3,000 light horsemen.

In the eyes of the Poles, the only thing that could resist the cavalry was the cavalry of the hedge, and there was no possibility that the cavalry could be resisted by relying solely on the infantry.

Xiao Celing Dundob has a personal guard of nearly 1,000 people in his hands, all of whom are armored and can ride and shoot and charge into battle.

Poshevsky also trained a small squad of cavalry, which could change formations and charge in a wedge.

These two elite cavalry took the lead, followed by the light cavalry of the quasi-division, and could completely break through the frontal defense.

Polshevsky had no experience in storming hollow arrays.

When he fought with the Russians, the Russians had a lot of Cossack and Turkut cavalry marksmen, and the infantry had no chance to form a formation at all.

Cavalry against cavalry.

Fighting with the quasi-department, the quasi-department is also dominated by cavalry, and although there are many infantry, they have no ability to form a formation against cavalry.

Or cavalry to cavalry.

However, he fought a few battles with Dashun's army on the southern front, but the time he won was not to rush the infantry phalanx.

Rather, the musketeers were disconnected from the spearmen, and after he led his team to defeat the musketeers, the spearmen were trapped to death.

As for his father's experience, in the battle to relieve the siege of Vienna, the Polish cavalry also took advantage of the Turkish Janissaries and the German infantry to resist the line and rushed from the flank.

The Turks would not have used hollow arrays at that time.

These outdated experiences gave Polshevsky great confidence.

After finally confirming it, Da Ce Ling Dun Dob said, "Then prepare it." Tell Renate to bring the rest of the cannons. Once the battle situation on the southern front is scorched, then rush away from their central army, divide their infantry, and annihilate them like a hunt. ”

Wiping away the old eyes that wept in the wind, Da Celing Dun Dobu wanted to see clearly the battle situation in the south through the smoke of gunpowder shrouded in the south.

The battle in the south is already scorched.

The two infantry battalions lined up in a phalanx were not at all overwhelmed by the cavalry of the quasi-division.

The initial cavalry charge was indeed impressive.

However, with the horses subconsciously dodging the bayonets, and with a large number of war horses piled up in the limited space, the impact of the quasi-cavalry has been completely dissolved.

With the group of light horsemen who had come from afar, he launched a surprise attack from the flank of the quasi-cavalry, which could no longer rush.

Different from the light cavalry of the Qingzhou Army, the combat method of these provincial soldiers and light cavalry was not to form a dense and neat wall formation, but to take each Zhichong Prefecture as a unit, and people who were familiar with each other were together to form a small charging group.

Jiao Lao Butu also knew the virtue of this group of government soldiers, and he was the captain of Zhichong.

Once you rush up, you can't pull it at all, but now there is no time to think about it.

Wu Fangrui let him storm and then pull the cavalry back, and then attack again, he didn't have this ability, even if those soldiers and light cavalry could, they didn't have such discipline in a chaotic battle.

The cavalry of the quasi-department found that their attack was hindered, and when they found the light cavalry of the soldiers rushing out from the side, they were visibly panicked.

Some of them were still circling around the two infantry phalanxes, while others hurriedly turned their horses to meet them.

In the melee of the cavalry, the impact of the quasi-department on the Qingzhou Army line column on the southern front also began.

Wu Fangrui looked at the reinforcements of the two battalions that were rapidly maneuvering towards this side, and he believed in the battlefield mobility of the Qingzhou Army, especially when there was no artillery obstruction on the opposite side.

There was still time, and after he suggested to Zhang Jin, the two battalions on the front line quickly expanded from four columns to three columns. A battalion that had not moved, after Wu Fangrui observed the situation of the flank cavalry, also boldly deployed.

"Everyone! Final loading, bayonet! ”

The command turned into the sound of a snare drum and was passed to everyone in front of the formation.

The officers of the company passed the order loudly, and the soldiers responded to the officer's order as they had done when they were training on Liugong Island.

It is not only to signal that it is heard, but also to make some loud movements to embolden yourself when the gunfire stops when reloading.

The black-pressed quasi-infantry was advancing in this direction, and it was not yet within the distance of the charge, and no matter how strong the armored men were, it was impossible for them to rush forward in a swarm from a hundred paces, unless they were all gods who could pull out the mountain. If you don't wear armor, you have to pant for breath if you run hundreds of steps.

Fifteen hundred fulcrums of 69-inch, 1.7 cm caliber muskets stopped firing almost simultaneously.

Everyone took out the lead bullet wrapped in oiled paper from the ammunition pack, tore the paper bag with their teeth, and neatly loaded the primer into the ignition pool and closed the lid.

Then he stood the musket in front of him, stuffed the gunpowder and buckshot into it, and took out the whole strip and poked it vigorously. No one looked up to see how far the soldiers of the quasi-department were still in the whole process, and the sound of artillery from time to time was their own, which brought them a great sense of security.

The four-pounder guns belonging to the regimental battalion in the front row were also loaded with grapeshot.

From time to time, someone was hit by a heavy arquebus from the quasi-department and fell to the ground, and the people in the back row consciously stood in front.

After everyone had reloaded, they took out their bayonets and stuck them in the muzzles, and the officers gave orders.

The soldiers of the first row were half-crouched on the ground, holding their muskets flat. The soldiers in the second row stood, and the soldiers in the third row staggered a little, sticking out in the gap between the shoulders of the two.

The two battalions that had come to support had also reached the southern front by running and galloping, and instead of deploying, they made a turn, maintaining the formation of the battalion column, maintaining a front of four columns and a company twenty-five men wide, and the whole battalion column lined up.

At the same time as the two supporting battalions turned to the whole group, the charge of the quasi-division began.

"Put!"

The officers looked at the flags waved from the command office and shouted at the same time.

Fifteen hundred muskets, six four-pounder guns loaded with grapeshot, fired at the same time.

Rumble......

The rising gunpowder smoke seemed to be a cloud of mist rising in front of the battle, and most of the originally dense quasi-soldiers fell to the ground in an instant.

Without hesitation, the officer gave the order to charge, and at the moment when the quasi-soldiers were shocked, fifteen hundred men with bayonets in their hands launched an assault on the front.

The two newly reinforced battalions also quickly assaulted in a direction close to the Chinese army in the form of columns. Their task is to turn to the gap and open the gap.

Almost at the same time.

Da Ce Ling Dun Dob gave the order to prepare for the assault on the Chinese army.

As far as the art of war is concerned, he made the right choice.

In the current situation, the vast majority of the cavalry of the Dashun army, as well as about half of the infantry, were trapped in the battle situation on the southern front.

The Chinese army of the Dashun army supported the southern front of a thousand people, and some infantry on the hill was also moving towards the Chinese army.

The southern front has already deployed too many people, and the rest of the people are useless to support the past, and they can't be used at all, so it becomes a refueling tactic.

Taking advantage of the fact that the infantry supporting the Chinese army on the hill was not gaining a stable foothold, the elite cavalry was thrown into the middle line, which was cut in one fell swoop and swept the southern front to form an outflank.

This is absolutely true in the art of war.

The quasi-musketeers who shoot at the bottom of the hill can contain the Qingzhou army on the hill.

Moreover, almost all the cavalry of the Qingzhou army are on the south side, and even if there is cavalry on the north side, there are not many cavalry, and Da Celing Dun Dobu is sure that with only this kind of unarmored infantry, the defense is okay, and the attack will definitely not succeed.

When the order to attack was given, Polshevsky drew a cross on his chest and nodded at the little Tselingdondob in the distance.

Poshevsky and Taiji of the headquarters were on the left with more than 400 people who could change into a wedge formation, and the little Tselingdun Dob was on the right with hundreds of elite guards on the right.

More than 1,000 of them took the lead, followed by the remaining elite cavalry of the quasi-department.

Renate dragged the remaining eight-pounder guns over and deployed them in front of the formation, preparing to bombard the Chinese army of the Qingzhou army.
