Chapter 424: Rapid Change (First Update, Asking for a Monthly Pass)
The shining bayonet shone dazzlingly in the sun, and unlike any other Ming army, although the Pingyu Army was an almost pure firearms unit, every officer and soldier was instilled with the idea of "daring to see red with a bayonet" in the training, after all, in this era of "bullets are stupid, bayonets are heroes", bayonet assault decided to decide the final outcome of the battle.
When the order to attack was given, these soldiers, who had practiced their stabbing skills thousands of times a day on the training ground, immediately grasped the butt of their rifles with their right hands up, the muzzle of their guns upward, and the barrels of their guns in their left hands, and then the orders and whistles of the commanders, as required in the training, resolutely and courageously launched a charge, and they shouted as they charged.
For a time, the battlefield was full of shouting "kill", which can be called extremely brave in terms of momentum, after all, all this is the experience accumulated after hundreds of years of bloody battles, and when impacting hand-to-hand combat, the first thing is to overwhelm the enemy in momentum! This momentum without hesitation is the core of the bayonet charge.
If such a momentum is replaced by an army with a weak will - such as the Qing army more than a hundred years later, they will definitely throw away their armor and flee backwards, but the current Jiannu is the rising period of their careers, no, they have just begun to enter the decline period, these barbarians who have just come out of the mountains and forests for a few years, that little bit of courage not to fear death still exists.
Even if it is the Han army of the Eight Banners, it is the same, after all, they all have the treatment that the Eight Banners should have! Fields, coats, women, there are a lot of them! Besides, there are harsh military law constraints, take a step back, and you will really cut off your head.
The hereditary treatment of their children and grandchildren, coupled with the merciless military law, made them persist in the artillery fire, and also allowed them to persist in the brave bayonet charge like a sea of mountains, not only persevered, but even they got on the bayonets, ready to fight the Ming army hand-to-hand.
Melee!
We have never been afraid of anyone!
Melee!
This is our profession!
In particular, many of the Jurchens who had just returned the previous year were Kuyi people with a completely different appearance, the so-called "Ainu", and Dolgon appeased the Jurchen tribe all the way to Sakhalin.
They wore heavy armor and shouted with weapons such as maces, axes, and tiger guns.
Perhaps future generations do not know that after the rise of Jianzhou, the heavy infantry used by the Manchu Qing Dynasty to trap the battle is the so-called "raw Jurchen", and even Nurhachi described them as "strong to fight tigers", and in the records of the Ming army, "fish skin tartars" are the raw Jurchens on both sides of the Heilongjiang River recruited by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, all of them are not afraid of death, with a ruthless role of one enemy and ten, every battle, these "fish skin tartars" who do not know life and death must be used to break the formation.
One person is desperate, and ten people are unstoppable. And these raw girls are really ...... I really don't know how to die! Even for a hundred years, the Manchus deliberately kept these people poor in order to maintain their combat effectiveness, and recruited them to various battlefields, from Jinchuan to Xinjiang, these Jurchens who came out of the poor mountains and bad waters have always been a trump card of the Manchu Qing.
The unhesitating momentum of the Ming army made these people also excited, they shouted, howled, and even their eyes were red, waiting with anticipation for the master's order to kill the enemy, and then the master would naturally reward them with cloth and iron pots......
But what disappointed them was that the master did not give the order, in the face of the Ming army's charge, although their momentum was enough to overwhelm everything, but Fei Yangguo's eyes became excited, but at the same time, he showed a sneer, and at the moment when the Ming army rushed close to the mud basket to build a wall, he shouted.
"Fire!"
With an order, the Jiannu operating the Franc machine behind the basket immediately lit the medicine twist "......snort" and the medicine twist sprang out a ball of sparks, accompanied by a loud sound, between the palm-sized holes, suddenly sprayed out a cloud of white smoke, and the white smoke was mixed with lead like raindrops.
Jiannu fired!
Kennu's gunners fired shotguns, scattered bullets like raindrops, and when the head covered the face, it came at the face.
In the past wars, Jiannu had captured a lot of Franc machines, because of the lack of firearms, so Fei Yangguo deliberately sent these Franc machines to the army. However, he did not let the gunners open fire casually, and they waited as the musketeers fired, until the Ming army approached with bayonets.
The 3-coin shotguns fired by these Franc machines may not be able to penetrate heavy armor at long distances, but at close ranges of more than a dozen zhang, or even a few zhang away, thousands of shotguns are still extremely lethal for musketeers with only cuirasses.
After a burst of gunsmoke, Xu Linchuan saw the brothers around him, and he was instantly put down thirty or forty. Each of them had at least a few projectiles on their bodies, and crimson blood gushed out from the bullet holes in the iron armor.
In an instant, a piece fell!
All of a sudden, the Ming army that was charging was all stunned, and many people looked at the still smoking cannon with shocked eyes, and at the same time, Jiannu quickly replaced the sub-gun, and the Franc machine gun also fired again, with a bang, from the muzzle of the cannon sprayed out more than thirty taels of lead bullets, just like many literati described, the Franc machine struck dozens of feet, and the soldiers who rushed close even broke into a sieve.
In an instant, the fierce charge was a delay.
"Master, the Ming army is over, the Ming army is finished......"
The generals beside Feiyango all howled excitedly, this battle was a happy one! It turns out that the Ming army will also have this day!
Who said that only the Ming army could play with firearms, and our Qing Kingdom was not bad at playing!
"It's not over yet!"
Fei Yangguo sneered triumphantly.
"Wait for Niexai to come over, this Ming army will be eaten!"
……
This is......
Almost at the moment when his subordinates found out that the cavalry of the brigade had suddenly entered the battlefield, Yang Yufan only felt a cold sweat break out on his back, and he even felt a little dizzy.
Today, at the age of thirty-six, he can be regarded as a Rong Ma life, as early as 20 years ago, he followed his father to participate in the pacification of Xu Hongru and the White Lotus Sect, and was awarded the post of Yizhou Wei Zhenfu for capturing the bandit leader Xia Taishi. At the age of eighteen, he was promoted to the garrison of Caozhou.
It can be said that it is a young man's ambition. Although he is a hereditary military general, as a military attaché, his duty is not to enjoy peace, and his official position also needs to be exchanged for military exploits from birth to death.
In the past 20 years, he has fought in the south and the north, but this is the first time he has encountered a battle like today.
Originally, he believed that he had touched the tail of victory, but who would have thought that the changes on the battlefield would be so unpredictable, and at the last moment when he won the victory, Jiannu, who originally seemed to be vulnerable, gave him a slap in the face.
"Junmen, we've been fooled!"
Yang Yu, who was following his father, looked at the Qing cavalry from the left and right flanks in astonishment, and shouted urgently.
"Junmen, if it really doesn't work, let's ......"
Without waiting for the subordinates on the side to finish speaking, Yang Yufan shouted loudly.
"If we withdraw, how can we be worthy of the brothers in front of the battle!"
After that, Yang Yufan stared at the battlefield where the situation was pressing, and said very loudly.
"I waited for the world to receive the favor of the country, I only knew how to kill the captives, today's defeat was caused by Yang's underestimation of the enemy, Wang Kuande, you immediately formed a phalanx to receive the brothers who withdrew, Yang Yu, Yang Yan, you kill with me and cover the brothers to withdraw!"
"The military gate, the last general can be alone, why do you need the military gate to go to ...... in person"
After Yang Yan, who was not waiting, finished speaking, Yang Yufan said sharply.
"Do you dare not obey military orders!"
"Uncle ......"
Looking at the fifth uncle's resolute face, Yang Yan sighed. He knew why his uncle did it. Because they are soldiers, not only the hereditary military position, but also the responsibility to their family and country that flows in their blood, today this battle is lost. But we must not be ashamed of our brothers.
And more importantly, even if the uncle withdraws, he will definitely be held responsible, even if he barely saves his life, he will lose his military position, and without his military position, there will be no Yang family.
"Military Gate!"
Without waiting for Wang Kuande to speak, Yang Yufan had already jumped on the horse.
"After a while, I will lead the cavalry to kill the enemy, block the construction of the slaves, and cover the retreat of the brothers, I already have the will to die, you just have to quickly fire artillery to prevent the enemy from approaching the infantry, and do your best to cover the brothers to retreat, don't think about us! Do you understand! ”
