Chapter 360: The Collapse of the Eight Banners of Goryeo (Third Update, Ask for Subscription)
"Kill!"
As the president of Qian, Su San's voice burst out with a shout again.
A smug smile appeared on the face of the iron mask, this battle was fought happily, and the killing was even more painful. The North Koreans were powerless to resist the devastating attack of the iron men, and under such a strong attack, the resistance of the North Koreans quickly collapsed, and those North Koreans all knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Sure enough, it's an iron man!"
Even as the commander-in-chief of the Dongjiang Army, Mao Chengdou was stunned by the rapid collapse of the Koreans after the Iron Man attack, and he finally understood why Qian Degong and Chen Wushu advocated retaining the Iron Man Army.
In his opinion, no one in this world can resist the attack of the Iron Man Army. Of course, there must be muskets and cannons, and without them destroying the camp of Jiannu, the Iron Men would not have been able to take advantage of the situation to capture their main formation.
"Damn it!"
Seeing that the iron men of the Ming army came from the left and right wings, easily broke through the large array, and killed the soldiers without even the strength to fight back, Han Ni's heart suddenly became a small group, how could this be?
The reversal of the situation made him not even react, and there were soldiers in front of him who kept turning around and fleeing, although the military law team directly beheaded the deserters, but it was still difficult to stop the soldiers from escaping. Now the momentum of the Ming army is like a flood, and at this juncture, the escape of the soldiers will only fuel the arrogance of the Ming army, and then cause irreparable disasters.
After returning to the Great Qing Kingdom from the Battle of Sarhu, after so many years of fighting a tailwind battle, how could Hanni not know when the defeat of the Ming army began?
It starts with deserters, and if one person escapes, more people will flee, and then everyone will flee, and finally the pursuers will kill everyone like hunting.
"Pass the order, those who stick to it will be rewarded with military merit, and those who retreat will be killed!"
However, at this time, military law and incentives could no longer salvage the defeat, almost at the same time as the Iron Man broke through their formation one after another, allowing the resistance of the North Koreans to collapse. The opportunity that Mao Chengzhi has been waiting for has also appeared, as a veteran of the battle, of course he will not miss such an opportunity!
"Cavalry attack!"
Xu Zhiyuan, who had been waiting for the order, saw the signal flarener in the air, and immediately raised the long zhang Xu cavalry gun in his hand.
"Kill slaves!"
With his shout, the cavalry on the flanks of the musketeers flew past the charging Iron Man Army and slashed towards the enemy rear.
"Kill slaves!"
At this time, the musketeers also charged with bayonets in the shouts, and now it was the last moment, they only needed to use their bayonets to clean up the remnants of the enemy, as for the more powerful enemy, they had been almost killed by the rampant Iron Man, and for a time the deafening shouts resounded on the battlefield, even reaching to the sky.
Mao Chengzhi's judgment was very accurate, and sure enough, the moment the cavalry suddenly struck the Jiannu army from both wings, the situation on the battlefield underwent a fundamental reversal, and the two cavalry teams were like two steel knives, inserted into the flank of the Jiannu main formation.
The cavalry advanced with their spears in one hand, and the spears in their hands pierced the body of the Donglu again and again, sometimes even stringing up several people like wearing mutton skewers, and in the galloping hooves of the horses, the cavalry spears raised a bloody light on the ground, staining the entire sky red.
"Kill slaves, kill slaves!"
The armored iron men rushed forward to fight in front, while the unarmored musketeers advanced in the rear with bayonets, sweeping the battlefield, and as they charged, they stabbed their bayonets into the chest of Jiannu, and they shouted that the crumbling enemy army could not stop their offensive at all, and the North Koreans who could not kneel down along the way were directly stabbed into their chests.
Everyone is in the frenzy of battle, and every warrior becomes an invincible general. They don't feel fear, they don't feel pain, they don't even get tired. There is nothing left but fighting, only the will to fight drives them, and nothing else.
These so-called "Jiannu" have become a group of lambs who can be killed and taken in the eyes of everyone at this moment. A single slash can cut off their heads, and a single shot can pierce their chests.
In the face of the more and more brave soldiers of the Ming army, these soldiers of the Eight Banners of Goryeo were suddenly killed, and they either struggled to escape, or knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. The cavalry of the Ming army, which came up from the side, was blocked by these people, although they kept piercing the enemy with their horse pistols, but sometimes they had to let the war horses trample on the kneeling Koreans, and I don't know how many surrendered Koreans were trampled into flesh by the horses' hooves.
In the blink of an eye, more than 900 cavalry had already entered the Chinese army in the rear of Jiannu. They are like a tiger rushing into a flock, opening their bloody mouths and biting the lambs in front of them at will, and people can only let out a desperate wail in the face of their sharp teeth.
At this point in the battle, even a fool could see the ending, but the military law of the Great Qing Kingdom was strict, and thinking of the ending of certain death, Hanni didn't even give up and shouted loudly.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, knot the gun, block them, block them!"
Seeing that the Eight Banners of Goryeo under his command collapsed and defeated so quickly, he was so angry that Han Ni's blood poured into his head, these North Koreans, what a group of cowards, ordered loudly.
"Gun formation! Gun formation! Hold off the cavalry ......"
Although the minions around Hanni were there to tear their throats and shout, spreading this incomparably correct order throughout the army. However, in such a situation, even if the military order is issued, there is no meaning, in the face of the Ming army's wolf-like offensive, the Koreans who have lost their courage, in addition to fleeing, is to kneel and surrender, many people are begging for mercy in blunt Chinese, and the escapees are often not a few steps away, they are chased by the cavalry and cut off their heads.
Seeing that the Eight Banners of Goryeo under his command knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, Han Ni, who had completely lost control of the battlefield, although he was afraid of the strictness of military law, would hesitate at this time, and as soon as he clamped the horse's belly with his legs and whipped his hand, he led the thousands of Chinese troops around him to retreat.
"Withdraw!"
The retreat of the commander became the last straw that crushed these Koreans, and their resistance immediately collapsed, originally many of them were just for the so-called little glory and wealth, as for now, in the face of these invulnerable and extremely brave Ming troops, there are still daring to resist, or throw away their armor and flee, or kneel on the ground and beg for mercy.
