Chapter 347: The whole army charges
Three miles away
The Qing army drums sounded, slowly and steadily.
The army marched slowly.
Two miles away
The snare drum is steady and urgent.
The military flags of the orders are constantly changing, and the formation of the Qing army is also constantly adjusting.
Everything was as Ma Wu expected, the Green Battalion soldiers who had been defeated this morning did not need to be forwards anymore, but they were now in the rear and were forced forward by the inspectors with knives.
So in the face of the spears and cannons of the bandit army on Ma'anshan, what is the best way to crack it?
Eji. After consulting with many generals for a long time, He Mueller found that there was no.
If the artillery of the Qing army has not been blown up, perhaps the advantage of the artillery can be used to mitigate the damage taken by some of the forward troops when attacking.
But now that the artillery of the Qing army has been blown up, there is no other way than to fill in the fierce artillery bombardment and the low walls of the trenches.
Although it was cruel to the Green Battalion soldiers who used to fill the pits and cushion the road, but in addition, Eji. He Mueller and the others really couldn't think of any other way.
And Eji. He Mule and the others were even glad that they came with more than 30,000 green battalion soldiers this time, and it should not be a problem to use them to cover the Eight Banners armor and cavalry behind them, and to fill the attack distance of two miles in front of them.
After all, no matter how many deaths the green camp is, it is also a pariah, and it is a dispensable existence for the Great Qing Kingdom. And the children of the Eight Banners, that is the national capital of the Great Qing Kingdom.
If the bannermen suffered heavy casualties in this attack, even if the Eji. He Mueller laid down Ma'anshan, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to escape the blame of the imperial court.
When you are a soldier and eat, you have to expect to bleed and lose your head.
At this point, it is useless to say more. For the green battalion soldiers who were forced forward by the inspector team with knives, they had no other way than to shout a few more words to Amitabha Buddha and ask for the protection of their ancestors and the gods and Buddhas.
The distance of two miles is not far away, but it is not close. On the plains, you can see from afar.
This distance lasts no more than a cup of tea (about 10 minutes).
Whether it is dragging helpless or worrying steps, under the urging of the war drums, the green battalion soldiers in the vanguard can only move forward.
Time passes, and the distance gets closer.
Soon, the green battalion of the vanguard again crossed the positions of the artillery this morning.
Even if there are all kinds of dangers ahead, the abyss of hell, it is difficult for the Qing soldiers at this time to stop.
At this moment, the scorching sun is still shining.
Occasionally, a few white clouds drift by in the sky, bringing a brief shade to the earth. There was also a gust of wind, bending the lush grass, giving people a rare sense of comfort.
Except for the sound of war drums, Ma'anshan is as calm as water. will
Everything seems to be too peaceful, and if it weren't for the low walls and defensive structures of the trenches on Ma On Shan, some people would even wonder if there were people on Ma On Shan.
The calm before the storm is always the hardest wait.
Especially after what happened this morning, at this moment, none of the green battalion soldiers walking in front were not worried.
Soon, the worried Qing troops in the vanguard will enter the range of one mile.
"Why hasn't the anti-thief artillery been fired yet?" Some people can't help but ask.
"I don't know, but I guess they fired too hard this morning and ran out of shells!" Another guessing voice replied.
"It seems that this is the case, otherwise there is really no way to explain why they haven't fired yet when we have entered this range." Another voice was skeptical.
The forward troops were able to smoothly enter the range of one mile, which also allowed the Eji. He Mueller wondered. Now I can't find any other reason to explain it except that the anti-thief's shells are finished.
However, no matter what the reason, the Qing army was able to enter the range of one mile of Ma'anshan, and it suddenly became advantageous.
At a distance of one mile, it only takes a fifth of a quarter of a moment for an infantry charge (1) (about three minutes), and it is only a third of a quarter to die. In the case of a cavalry charge, the time required is only about ten breaths (2) (about a minute).
"Hahaha... It seems that the anti-thieves really have no shells to fight, otherwise it would not have been possible to let us enter this distance. At this distance, no matter how powerful the anti-thief's musket is, our army can completely withstand the casualties and attack. "The calm of the bandit army made Eji. He Mueller couldn't help but laugh heartily and said.
"It seems that this morning's casualties are not all useless. At least the anti-thieves now have no shells to fire. ”
"Lord Totong is right, for those green battalion soldiers who have been killed and wounded, this is a gratifying thing." Hearing this, Eji. The general beside He Mueller hurriedly leaned over and said.
"The flag officer is ready to give orders. Anyway, there are no more shells now, let the green battalion soldiers in the vanguard make a way, the cavalry and the armor follow, and everyone is ready to charge at any time. "Eji. He Mule commanded to the flag officer beside him.
"Hey, master."
After the flag officer answered, he stepped aside and waved the flag and passed the order.
"Boom... Knock knock... Boom..."
At this time, the sound of the Qing army drum changed again, and the rhythm was also urgent.
In the formation of the vanguard green battalion army, three avenues were gradually given way according to the left, center, and right.
Although I don't know why the anti-thief artillery didn't fire, there are some good opportunities to attack Ma'anshan here. Eji. There is no reason why Homuller should not be sure.
So, Eji. He Mueller asked the flag officer to give another order, and everyone rushed forward.
"Bang... Boom... Bang..."
The rapid sound of the snare drum sounded, and it was the order for the whole army to charge.
"Rush..."
"Kill..."
"Haha... Now that the thieves are out of shells, everyone rushes up to kill all the thieves and avenge the brothers who died this morning..."
Bursts of shouts, bursts of encouragement, and bursts of shouts of killing continued to sound in the camp of the Qing army.
At this moment, the morale of the Qing army is like a rainbow, like a flood of beasts, as if it wants to swallow up the bandit army on Ma'anshan...
"Kill... Kill all the thieves..."
"Brothers, the time has come to make a difference..."
At this moment, the green battalion soldiers, who were still worried just now, are now as brave as a tiger descending from the mountain, shouting and rushing forward.
……
Four hundred and fifty meters...
………
Three hundred and fifty meters...
……
The Green Battalion soldiers who rushed to the front could even see the bandit army standing in front waiting for them.
And also...
The cannon that was lit and the "conscienceless cannon" with a thick caliber and even more terrifying.
Looking at the black muzzle and the ignited fuse on the cannon, the green battalion in front knew that something was wrong.
They want to go back, but they can't. If you want to hide on both sides, you probably can't dodge.
"Put..."
Faintly, a voice came out.
Then there was a shocking explosion, like the wrath of a dragon, sweeping through the world.
