Chapter 375: Captured Alive
On the 10th day of the first month of September, Zhu Cihong suddenly issued an order: the whole army attacked!
A strong war drum sounded, and all the Ming troops on the south bank of the Hunhe River poured out of the camp, and the dense eight-class hats and iron-pointed helmets kept shaking, rushing to the Hunhe River to build a pontoon bridge.
There was a loud boom, and the Wuzhen Chaoha artillery battalion on the north bank opened fire again, but the density of this artillery sound was far less than the scale of a few days ago.
After a few days of artillery battles, the Wuzhenchao Harbin artillery battalion has been half-abandoned by the heavy artillery brigade of the Tianwu Army, and if it were not for the timely replenishment of the artillery factory near Shengjing, I am afraid that the artillery array has been paralyzed.
The Wuzhen Chaoha artillery array was set on a tortuous loop of the Hunhe River, which could attack the Ming army on three sides and effectively prevent the Ming army from crossing the river.
"Speed up! Kill all the Tartars! ”
Bursts of roars erupted in the Ming army's formation, and everyone quickened their pace and rushed onto the pontoon bridge.
On the north bank of the Hunhe River, the smile on Kong Youde's face slowly disappeared, under the bombardment of hundreds of heavy artillery, the Tianwu Army still advanced without fear of death, aren't they afraid of death?
Kong Youde was very puzzled, he looked at the Ming army who had already crossed halfway with a blue face, and shouted fiercely: "All replace them with shotguns!" ”
The striking distance of the shotgun is far less than the solid bullet, only close to it can constitute an effective lethality, in close range, the lethality of the shotgun can be called the coming of death, and the people who can be alive in the sweep are all once exhausted by the luck accumulated by the eight generations of the ancestors.
While the artillery camp was loading shotguns, groups of people with yellow flags of the Han army poured into the artillery array.
A second Tartar of the Wuzhen Chaoha Artillery Battalion shook the money rattail and shouted: "Hey, what are you doing? Who told you to come? ”
Niu Lu Zhangjing, a Niu Lu of the Yellow Banner of the Han Army, drew his sword on the spot and chopped the artillery alive with one sword.
"Tie up all these artillerymen to Lao Tzu, and kill all those who don't cooperate!"
Under the escort of a group of Han army bannermen, Zu Zerun and Zhao Guangliang swaggered close to the artillery array of Wuzhen Chaoha, shouting to take people, and for a time the entire artillery array was in chaos, with swords and swords, and firearms ranging out in unison.
Kong Youde discovered the abnormality of the artillery array behind him, and hurried there, only to see a group of people with yellow flags of the Han army surrounding him.
"What are you doing? Do you want to rebel? ”
Kong Youde's face turned pale: "Zu Zerun, you fucking became a traitor?" ”
Zu Zerun smiled and said, "What's wrong with the traitor? You are obedient to the king, aren't you? ”
Kong Youde was speechless for a while, yes, isn't he a traitor to the Ming Dynasty, aren't the two ministers and the three ministers the same out of mode?
Effortlessly grabbed Kong Youde and controlled the artillery array, Zu Zerun breathed a long sigh of relief, if it weren't for his Zhenghuang Banner being responsible for guarding the Wuzhen Chaoha artillery array, it would not be easy to take it so easily.
Even so, Zu Zerun was still not at ease, and sent people to strengthen the vigilance to prevent the other Eight Banner Army from coming to recapture the artillery position.
Without artillery suppression, the Ming army's crossing of the river was much smoother, but there were already tens of thousands of Eight Banner troops lined up neatly on the north bank, and the front was full of firecrackers and archers.
Wu Zhenchao's artillery array suddenly quieted down, and although Geng Zhongming and the others were curious, they didn't have the time to look at it, because the Ming army was almost in range.
"Shoot!"
Geng Zhongming, Ma Guangyuan and other Han army Gushan Ezhen ordered almost at the same time, and a large puff of smoke immediately rose on the north bank of the Hunhe River, and the Han army banner attacked the Tianwu army halfway.
"Shoot!"
The Han army flag was ruthlessly shooting, and the violent explosions sounded one after another, and the Ming troops on the pontoon bridge fell one after another, and the cries were in a series, accompanied by many falling into the water.
"Kill!"
After a while, a large group of Tianwu troops rushed over, let out a powerful roar, they held their muskets, shouted loudly, crossed the friendly troops in front, like a torrent, and frantically rushed towards the Han army flag firearms on the opposite side.
About thirty steps away from the river bank, Qi Guangyang, the head of the regiment, shouted angrily, and nearly 1,000 soldiers of the three regiments threw out with lit grenades in their hands.
A series of explosions stunned the Han army flag and the North Korean firecrackers, and the splinters formed by the pig iron shell of the grenade shot in all directions, directly penetrating their poor protection.
In just two rounds, the Han army flag and the Korean army had been blown up, and when they saw the fierce and vicious rush of the Tianwu army, everyone showed horror and screamed and retreated, and only a small number continued to resist under the intimidation of the Manchurian soldiers, and it took half a day to put a shot.
"Don't retreat, stop them!"
The Mongolian Zhenghuang Banner Gushan Ezhen Adai roared loudly, and Geng Zhongming, Liu Zhiyuan, Ma Guangyuan and other Han troops Gushan Ezhen had to come forward to order their respective banners to fight.
Ah Dai pointed at Geng Zhongming and shouted; "What's the matter with your Han military flag, tens of thousands of people can't hold a few pontoon bridges? And what's going on on the side of the artillery emplacement, why is there a ceasefire? ”
Geng Zhongming and other Han army banners Gushan Ezhen were unhappy, but they were helpless, who made the status of the Eight Banners Mongolia higher than the Han army, this Ah Dai also temporarily received the rank of general who was ordered to command all the Eight Banners Army on the north bank of the Hunhe River.
Dolgon failed to arrive as ordered, Ah Dai was ordered to be in danger, and Huang Taiji, Zierharang and other Manchurian Eight Banners had already slipped away when they saw that the situation was not good.
After Qi Guangyang's three regiments took the lead in boarding the north bank, they immediately set up an array to guard the pontoon bridge and cover the follow-up river crossing army.
After a short battle with the Tianwu Army, the Eight Banners Han Army became frightened in their hearts, their enemies were too strong!
The other Ming troops also came to cover up, thinking that the fire was not good, one by one picked up the spears and swords and went up to do it, and went to the vital parts of the Qing army to greet them, fighting with cold weapons, the casualty rate of both sides rose sharply, and the ground was full of wailing wounded soldiers.
Because the Han army guarded a large section of the river, it appeared to be thin in depth, and was soon killed by the Ming army to open many gaps, some Korean soldiers ran away, and the Han army flag was constantly on the verge of collapse.
Geng Zhongming looked at the Han Army Banner that collapsed in an instant, and said dumbfoundedly: "Why did you lose so quickly?" ”
The Han army inlaid with the blue flag and the mountain was really still happy, and he asked in a panic: "Geng Laoer, the rout can't be stopped, what should we do?" ”
The firecracker soldier, who had always been proud, was brutally abused by the other party many times, Geng Zhongming couldn't accept it for a while, his face turned pale, he sat on the ground with his buttocks, and didn't say a word.
Shang Kexi looked at the river bank in the distance and shouted, "Second brother, the Ming army is coming, let's run!" ”
Suddenly, the earth trembled, and a piece of iron cavalry appeared on the west side of the north bank, followed by the iron cavalry, there was a westward Ming army marching in formation, and the army was like a sea, surging towards this side.
Shang Ke was glad to see that Geng Zhongming hadn't moved yet, so he ran away without saying a word, what a sworn brother, if you want to die, no one will stop you!
The deep howl spread throughout the battlefield, Cao Bianjiao led nearly 10,000 cavalry of the Tianwu Army to kill, in the dense torrent, Cao Bianjiao ignored the wound that had just healed on his body, and fiercely raised his spear, stabbing a Mongolian Eight Banners soldier from the neck to the ground.
The iron hooves roared, the cavalry army rushed all the way, and the Han army in front of them had been completely defeated, regardless of the guns and spearmen, they all screamed and fled in the direction of Shengjing City.
In a panic, coupled with the chaos of the scene, many Qing soldiers encountered obstacles such as stone corpses and made a dog eating action.
"Kill them all!"
The cavalry of the Tianwu Army chased after each other, shouting from afar, and from time to time stabbing the slow-running Eight Banners Army to death in the wilderness, which increased the panic of the defeated Eight Banners Army.
A rout of tens of thousands, shouts and wails all over the field, and the haphazard footprints and blood-soaked mutilated corpses.
"Chase them all!"
The Eight Banners Army has completely become a pot of porridge, scattered and fled, and the commander A Dai ran away quickly under the cover of the guards, and he didn't dare to turn his head back, until now he didn't know that Huang Taiji was not reusing himself, but ran away early!
"Look over there, there's a big fish!"
The sergeant of the Tianwu Army found out that Ah Dai had run away, and excitedly gathered his brothers around him to chase after him.
Ah Dai secretly complained, had to take off the coquettish gilt armor on his body and throw it away, and sent out only a few Mongolian warriors around him to block it, while he himself ran desperately.
However, a group of soldiers of the Tianwu Army followed all the way, chasing closely, and Ah Dai was even more frightened, wearing the only inner lining and crawling with a belt.
Suddenly, a horse came to the dust, the saber was released, and rushed behind him, Ah Dai ran and ran only to feel that his head was suddenly gone, and his strong body staggered forward and fell down with a bang.
The cavalryman turned his horse back, tilted his body, and took his head, and the sergeants behind looked at the knights who had gone away and cursed.
"Fuck, the credit is gone!"
Not far away, Shang Kexi, who was hiding in the pile of dead people, heard the scolding voices of the Tianwu Army soldiers around him, and only felt a chill welling up in his heart, lest he be discovered.
After waiting for a while, after faintly hearing the departure of the fierce and vicious Qiu Ba, Shang Kexi jumped up with both hands on the ground, bursting out with a speed that was difficult for the future Olympic sprint champions to match, desperately fleeing for his life.
Shang Kexi was good at escaping when he was in the Dongjiang Army, and after many years, he re-practiced his old skills again, and he was still familiar with the road, and he was as agile as an ape all the way.
Shang Kexi rushed all the way to Kong Youde's artillery array, and found that the artillery array was surrounded by warriors with yellow flags of the Han army, and he was immediately ecstatic.
"Zu Zerun really has a few brushes, and the soldiers he brought out haven't been scattered yet!"
After Shang Kexi saw the figures of Zu Zerun and Kong Youde, he was even more overjoyed, and shouted from afar: "Brother Zu, Brother Kong!" Save me! ”
Zu Zerun was talking with Kong Youde, a subordinate prisoner, and when he saw the big fish that he took the initiative to send up, he was both surprised and surprised, and led people to greet him with a smile......
