Chapter 128: Breaking the Camp

Outside the camp of the Qing army, groups of Ming cavalry roared and followed, and they ran around the Qing army camp wantonly.

"Tartars! Come out and fight! ”

A team of dragons danced the spears in their hands arrogantly at night, and shouted loudly at the Qing army camp.

The generals of the Zhenglan Banner all had ugly faces, and they were called by the Ming army, how could the Qing soldiers have suffered such humiliation!

Anger is anger, but no one dares to ask for battle, they have personally learned the sharpness of this Ming army, and no one is willing to send them to death before leaving the customs.

"Azig! Abatai! Come out and die! ”

Outside the camp of the Qing army, there were more and more cavalry of the Ming army galloping on horseback, there were tens of thousands, they walked in circles on the two wings of the Ming army, and the sound of rumbling horses' hooves made the earth tremble violently, raising large clouds of smoke and dust.

"Azig! Abatai! Come out and die! ”

In front of the large array of the Ming army, the sea of red flags fluttered, and Yang Qili led the first outpost of Long Xiang to keep calling the battle at night.

"Death!"

"Death!"

"Death!"

Tens of thousands of Ming troops shouted in unison, and huge waves of sound poured into the Qing army camp one after another.

The Ming army was so powerful that the Tartars on the camp did not change color, and the Tartar generals looked at the black and oppressive Ming army formation in the distance, especially when they saw a few huge dragon flags in the array, their faces turned pale.

"It's the prince of the Ming Kingdom who is chasing after him......." Abatai felt bitter in his heart, and what he was most worried about still happened.

"Amma, let the child lead the army and kill it!" Bo Hezhen was angry and asked Abatai for battle, wanting to frustrate the Ming army's spirit.

Abatai immediately stopped him, and he didn't send people with such a gift, he said solemnly: "Hold on, hold on until the front team is out!" ”

Zhu Cihong stood on top of a four-meter-high double-decker chariot, looking at the Qing army camp with the closed gate through the telescope, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly: "It's just a wooden shed camp that hasn't even dug a trench, and it can also block my army?" Pipe dream! ”

The Qing army camp is the most common wooden shed camp, which was built by cutting wood and erecting fences under the urgent situation of the enemy, and the speed of the camp is very fast, which can defend against the impact of cavalry and infantry.

Lu Xiangsheng looked at the military camp clearly and said: "If there is the help of the artillery of the Shenji Battalion, this camp will be vulnerable." ”

Huang Degong also said: "It's a pity, our artillery didn't bring it, and if we brought it, this group of rotten wood would have been broken a long time ago!" ”

Zhu Cihong shook his head and said: "You don't have to have artillery to break this camp, you can also attack it with fire!" ”

Sun Yingyuan said: "Your Highness, our army's divine arrows and other rockets have not been brought because of the inconvenience of operation, if you use bows and arrows to shoot, you will inevitably suffer huge losses." ”

Zhu Cihong said with a smile: "Who said that with a bow and arrow, use the fire dragon of the artillery camp to get out of the water!" ”

"Fire dragon out of the water? Does His Highness want to burn down the camp of the slaves? Lu Xiangsheng said in surprise.

"Not bad!" Zhu Cihong nodded.

Fire dragon out of the water is a new type of rocket invented in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, it is a amphibious rocket, but also the ancestor of the second stage rocket, the range is two or three miles, the Ming army used it in the Battle of Luliang to damage the Japanese fleet.

Under the faucet of the fire dragon out of the water, on both sides of the dragon's tail, a half-kilogram powder keg is installed on each side, which gathers the four rocket fuses together and connects them with the rocket fuses in the belly of the fire dragon.

Since the fire dragon can burn the warship, it can naturally burn the Qing army camp from a distance.

The fire dragon is only more than a meter long and not heavy, so it is easy to carry, and the artillerymen of the Yongwei battalion cannot carry artillery, but they bring a lot of other light firearms.

When the artillerymen of the Yongwei battalion aimed dozens of fire dragons out of the water at the Qing army camp, they unceremoniously lit the four gunpowder cartridges on the dragon's body, only to hear a whoosh, dozens of fire dragons flew out of the water quickly, and flew far away to the Qing army camp.

After the first stage rocket on the dragon's body burns, the rocket in the dragon's belly automatically ignites (the second stage rocket), and several rockets are fired from the dragon's mouth, reaching the wooden railing on the camp, and then burning.

There was chaos in the camp of the Qing army suddenly, some generals shouted at the soldiers to use water to extinguish the fire, but how can there be any water in the camp of temporary Anza, after leaving the customs, there is a big mountain, and the water source is insufficient for a period of time, who will be brainless enough to use their own drinking water to fight the fire?

Zhu Cihong said: "Lu Qing, you led the Tianxiong army to go around to the rear flank of the Tartar camp, and after our army broke the camp in front, your department immediately copied the back road of the Tartars." ”

"Yes!" Lu Xiangsheng responded, and immediately led the Tianxiong Army to deploy.

Zhu Cihong continued: "This battle is under the full command of Huang Degong, and all battalions obey his orders! ”

"Yes!" The officers and men of the battalions responded one after another.

Zhu Cihong asked Sun Yingyuan to command the Xincheng Campaign, and Huang Degong commanded this battle, which could not only balance the combat merits, but also exercise the ability of the two generals to command and apply firearms tactics.

After carefully observing the situation in the Qing army's camp, Huang Degong immediately ordered: "The musket formation is open!" Get ready to break the camp! ”

The officers of the two battalions shouted one after another: "The musket array opens the way......"

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

The drums of war were beating, and on the horizon, several dense and neat musket arrays were like moving castles towards the Qing army camp.

The sound of the neat steps of the iron boots on the ground was like an iron hammer hitting the heart in the ears of the Qing army, which made people breathless.

Several phalanxes came under black pressure, and the familiar battle columns and momentum made Abatai's face twitch unnaturally a few times: "The Ming army's firecrackers ......"

"Drumming and shouting!" Huang Degong gave an order, and the rhythm of the drum suddenly became urgent.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The three killing sounds, containing endless killing intent, were magnificent, shaking the heavens and the earth, the Qing army's face turned pale after hearing it, and the people who were originally fighting the fire in front of the camp couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Even the Tianxiong army that went to deploy was a little commotion, all of them were shocked by the might of these thousands of firearms, and Lu Xiangsheng sighed even more: "With such military might, it will definitely be invincible!" ”

When the musket array was a hundred steps away from the camp, all the musketeers began to fire a volley at the camp in front, and in the sound of firecrackers like beans, sawdust was splashed in the Qing army's camp, and the surrounding Qing soldiers also fell one by one.

Chao Pichang led his 2,000 surrendered troops, and ran back with his head in fear from the wall, no one wanted to stand there as cannon fodder and wait for death, and the inability to surrender the Ming army made the Tartars grit their teeth angrily but helplessly.

"Keep going!" Huang Degong continued to shout.

Several muskets stepped on the drums, firing a volley every ten paces, and after reloading the guns, they moved forward very steadily.

When it was thirty steps away from the camp, the musket array had already fired seven or eight rounds in a row, and the Qing army in the camp had already retreated far away, hiding within fifty steps behind the wall, waiting for the Ming army to fire a volley of arrows when they broke through the wall.

"Grenades, break the camp!"

Huang Degong gave an order, and the musketeers hung their muskets on their shoulders, then took a round grenade from their waists, lit a fire fold, and threw it at the wall.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Bursts of explosions sounded, and the walls of the Qing army were vulnerable, and they were directly blown up and fell down in pieces.

"Is this broken?"

Not only was Abatai dumbfounded, all the Qing troops were stunned, and they originally counted on the black Ming army to block the Ming army in front of the walled wall and shoot indiscriminately with bows and arrows, but the wall didn't work at all!

Huang Degong continued: "Keep going, ten steps and one shot!" ”

In the sound of war drums, dense musketeers poured into the camp of the Qing army, still shooting at a time in ten steps, constantly advancing, and it seemed very rigorous.

The Qing army was forced to retreat, and no one wanted to deal with these thousands of Ming musketeers, and the guys in their hands were too ruthless.

Huang Degong continued to shout: "All the cavalry charge from both flanks!" The left wing entered the pass to rescue the people, and the right wing copied the back road of the Tartars and annihilated the Tartars in one fell swoop! ”

After the order flag was issued, the cavalry army let out overwhelming shouts, and rushed to the two wings of the Qing army camp with spears and sabers.
