Chapter 331: The Mighty Tiger Ben Firearms Battalion (Third Update!) Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass! )
Under the rain of bullets, the cavalry of the Ming army turned on their backs and was not embarrassed.
Hong Chengchou originally wanted to bypass the Ming army by rounding the two wings, who would have thought that the Ming army would change its formation and adjust so quickly!
It's like hitting your head on the fence and looking for death!
But now that the Qing army has rushed to this position, it is impossible to retreat with all their bodies.
The Tiger soldiers shot like dogs.
The Qing soldiers who fell off their horses screamed and screamed, with a lot of snot and tears.
No one in this world is really not afraid of death, and the ugliness of facing death is really ridiculous.
This is the Qing soldier who is arrogant and does all kinds of evil on weekdays? That's it.
In fact, for the Ming army, as long as the Qing cavalry is not allowed to affect the robes of digging trenches. But at this moment, they are already red-eyed, and they can't stop at all.
The flintlock pistol became a weapon of life in their hands, only then the ammunition was depleted quickly.
This made Zhao Xu anxious, and he hurriedly ordered to stop.
Nowadays, flintlock guns and ammunition cannot be rationed on a large scale, and they must be spared.
Good steel should be used on the blade, and if it is used indiscriminately, His Majesty will not peel off his skin.
"Change grenades!"
Now that the Qing army's onslaught has been blocked, the next step is to use grenades to expand the gains.
When used over a large area, the grenade is even more effective than the flintlock!
Zhao Xu gave an order, and the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army took out the prepared grenades one after another and threw them at the Qing soldiers.
Compared with the flintlock, the grenade Ming army has been equipped.
After all, the ammunition formula of the grenade is simple, and the production process is not difficult.
The power of the grenade is only a little worse than the artillery, and it is still stronger than the flintlock pistol.
Some of the Qing soldiers had seen the power of this grenade, and their faces were so frightened that they turned pale.
"Mom, the thief is casting a demon spell again!"
A Qing soldier had seen this "demon method" and shouted loudly.
"The Thunder Male Lightning Mother has appeared!"
"Fire God Zhurong, it's burning!"
The more the Qing soldiers talked, the more outrageous they became, and they actually brought out all the legendary immortals.
In this case, where would the Qing soldiers have any desire to fight, and they were scared to run around.
But they had no rules at all, and many Qing soldiers even bumped into their own people, and their noses bleeded all over the ground.
The screams of struggle were in chaos in the entire Qing army's position.
The huge movement of the grenade explosion made many ownerless war horses run directly in the direction of Nanchang City with a neigh.
This frightened the Qing soldiers and scared their souls.
How can they escape back without horses, and they must not be caught and killed by the Ming army one by one?
The Ming army apparently noticed this.
Zhao Xu commanded the cavalry battalion: "Catch them!" ”
For a while, the Ming army's engineer cavalry, which had long been unable to hold back, rushed out of the formation at a lightning speed.
To be honest, the quality of the Qing cavalry was much higher than that of the Ming cavalry.
Mainly because of the problem with the horses.
The Manchus and Mongolia had good relations and had good horse sources.
Mongolian horses are very suitable for war horses, and their explosive strength and endurance are very balanced.
As for the Liaodong horses, they are also much better than the southern ones.
The war horses of the Ming army mainly came from Guizhou, Yunnan, Sichuan and other places.
Although the horses in the southwest are considered superior in the south, they are not at the same level as the horses in the north, especially in the Mongolian steppe.
But now that many of the Qing army's war horses have run away, what the Ming cavalry has to do is to harvest these Qing soldiers who have fallen from their horses.
was originally here to make meritorious contributions, but now he has become the target of hunting and killing.
The Qing soldiers all panicked and fled for their lives.
But how can they run on two legs over four legs?
It didn't take long for the Ming army to catch up.
They raised their horizontal knives and slashed at the Qing soldiers who ran away.
Some slashed into the neck and cut off their heads in an instant.
Crimson blood gushed out like a pillar of spring and scattered all over the ground.
The head was bone-fold on the ground several times, and finally crushed by the horse's hooves.
The headless corpse continued to run forward a few steps before falling to the ground with a thud.
The neighing of the war horses, the cries of the Qing soldiers, and the clatter of broken bones all came together very strangely, like a ghost scream.
Experienced Ming army riders will not choose to cut off their heads, which is too slow and has to find an angle.
They will make a big cut in the back of the nearest Qing soldier, and let them bleed to death.
Breaking such a big wound on the battlefield is easy to collapse and die if it is not bandaged in time.
In contrast, although the head is direct, it is too much to adjust and the efficiency is too low.
After all, the Qing soldiers were also desperately fleeing, but they were not kneeling there and being pulled by people with braids and sticking out their heads to cut off.
Countless Qing soldiers fell to the ground one by one, and those who did not die would also be crushed by the war horses or trampled to death by the rebels.
The Qing soldiers only cared about fleeing for their lives and did not want to turn back to resist, which made the pursuing Ming army seem a little boring.
At least you have to resist a little bit, right?
That's it?
...
...
Hong Chengchou's face was already dark.
Compared to the first round of harassment, this second round of harassment is simply a fiasco.
It's so miserable that I can't even lift my head.
Hong Chengchou didn't expect the Ming army's battlefield execution to be so strong, and he adjusted the formation so quickly.
In this case, the Qing army simply hit a stone.
It seems that it will not be able to achieve too good results by rashly advancing now, so it is better to fight a positional war.
At least the losses of the Qing army are not too great now, and the Qing army still occupies an absolute advantage in terms of strength in positional warfare.
"The order is to go down and bring the wounded soldiers down to heal their wounds, and prepare for battle."
Hong Chengchou felt that once the Ming army had dug the trenches, they would launch a tentative attack.
At that time, the strength of the Ming army will be even more terrifying.
But now that the decision has been made to go out of the city for a decisive battle, there is no chance of regret.
Hong Chengchou has decided to fight to the death.
Hong Chengchou looked left and right, and there was only Zhang Chaoxuan, who was smiling and not smiling.
As for the two princes who came to help, they deliberately kept a certain distance from Hong Chengchou.
Geng Jimao is closer to Hong Chengchou, but Shang Kexi is far away.
Moreover, the Shang Ke Xi position was obviously separated from the Qing army's large array. I don't know if it's intentional or unintentional.
Hong Chengchou only hopes that Shang Kexi will not be rash at this time, but focus on the overall situation.
As long as there is no problem with Shang Kexi, Hong Chengchou feels that the Qing army still has a seventy percent chance of winning.
After all, the trenches could circumvent the firearms superiority of the Ming army to the greatest extent.
Lao Tzu can't beat you in the field, can't he still beat the positional war?
Whether a person is wise or not, mainly depends on whether he can recognize himself, carry forward his advantages and avoid defects.
After these battles, Hong Chengchou has discovered the fatal flaw of the Ming army.
If we can grasp this defect and chase after it vigorously, we may not be able to open up the situation.
Now Hong Chengchou has attached great importance to the Ming army and has shown his best attitude. If you can't win again, it's really a bit too much to say.
