Chapter 653: Intimidating the Qing Army (3)

It was only in the past two years that the army under the command of the Liu family dared to use the hollow phalanx tactics, and there was no other way to do it, just because this tactic had extremely high requirements for the quality of the army.

It is not only an experienced junior officer who needs to command, but also a well-trained soldier who needs to cooperate.

Otherwise, in the face of the high-speed charge of the cavalry, the phalanx may be broken by the enemy before it is established.

In the formation of the Ming army, Li Jinghong looked at the decreasing army of Wu Sangui in front of the formation with a leisurely face, and couldn't help but sigh to the staff officials around him:

"The end of the cavalry is coming, this is the result of the development of Gewu, you all remember one by two."

"Commander, this is not enough, the instructors in the academy have said that the infantry cannot completely defeat the impact of the cavalry at the moment, where can it be called the end of the world."

Li Jinghong smiled, "You kid is lonely and unheard, the second brother has long put forward a request to the Ministry of Industry in Luzon to develop metal bullets and rapid-fire muskets, it is said that the second brother calls this rapid-fire musket a bead gun, once fired, the rate of fire per minute is as high as hundreds of rounds, under the cover of such firepower, the cavalry is a hammer." ”

"Hey, hundreds of rounds per minute?"

In the Chinese army, a number of staff officers of the Ministry of Staff were amazed, and more people began to look forward to this kind of repeater gun.

In the formation of the Qing army outside Jingcheng Pass, Azig held a captured monocular and looked at the battle ahead with a solemn expression.

"Wu Sangui can't bear it", Azig suddenly said this.

On the battlefield, the number of Guanning iron cavalry was visibly reduced to the naked eye, while the position of the Ming army on the opposite side did not move at all.

"Lord Wang, do we want to come to the rescue?" Nikan asked in a deep voice as he lifted the gourd hammer in his hand.

Azig's face showed a tangled meaning, "Forget it, Wu Sangui is also our slave after all, we can't let him die at the hands of the Ming army, besides, if the Ming army wins a big victory, I'm afraid that these Han dogs will have the courage to come up again." ”

"Small, listen to the king's orders, and the army will press down."

"Roar"

The Qing army was busy.

Since Wu Sangui was sent to fight, Azig naturally would not be unprepared, and the Qing army only spent more than ten minutes roughly forming the team, and the team of nearly 20,000 people rushed straight to the Jingcheng Pass.

In the middle of the Ming army, Li Jinghong keenly observed the movements of Azig and others.

Seeing the whole Qing army dispatched, Li Jinghong showed a sinister smile on his face.

"Pass the order, artillery positions prepare."

On a high ground in the northwest corner of Jingcheng Pass, the artillery position of the Ming army set up here overlooks the Hebei Plain.

As Li Jinghong's order was conveyed in place, the 60 guns of an artillery battalion arranged here began to move one after another.

"Clean the chamber"

"Femdom Zhuyuan"

……

In front of Jingcheng Pass, the cavalry led by Azig began to run in small steps directly from five miles away, and he wanted to break through the Ming army's large array when it fell under Wu Sangui's attack.

"Boom"

"Boom", "Boom"

A few muffled sounds came from the hillside in the northwest corner, and even the roar of cavalry was still so prominent.

"Thunder?"

Azig, who was galloping on his horse, glanced at the sky and ignored it, "Sons, speed up the charge!" ”

"Boom"

"Yu Yu Yu"

Suddenly, dozens of shells exploded in front of and during the Qing army's formation, directly startling hundreds of war horses to neigh immediately.

"There are artillery!"

A heart-rending cry came from the Qing army's array.

The Jianyu barbarian is not afraid of heaven and earth, but he is afraid of the artillery of the Ming army, after all, his old sweat and wild boar skin were all killed by the red-clothed cannon.

The Tatar Qing also mastered the production of Hongyi cannons after Kong Youde crossed the sea and surrendered, but although these cannons were advanced technology for the Portuguese, they were like children in the Luzon Ministry of Industry.

Moreover, the Qing army's Hongyi cannon was too heavy, and Azig and the others were ordered to hunt down Li Zicheng this time, and then lead the troops south, so they didn't have time to carry these things at all.

Now the Qing army can only watch as the Ming artillery positions continue to fire, blowing up bloody roads in their own large arrays.

Wearing a pointed lightning rod and wearing white-rimmed armor, the white-flag-inlaid captives were like papier-mΓ’chΓ©, and they were directly torn to pieces by the whistling cannonballs.

Azig's brows jumped, "Accelerate, accelerate, just rush to the Ming army." ”

"Whew~~"

In the large array of the Qing army, a burst of shouts broke out again, and one by one, the bloody Tartars who were aroused by the death of their companions blushed and kicked their mounts desperately, and ran forward with a roar.

In the Ming army, looking at Wu Sangui's army, which was becoming more and more difficult, and then looking at the Azig army that was rushing from seven miles away, Li Jinghong indifferently ordered:

"The Chinese army bypassed the front army, lined up on both flanks, and sent the front army to defeat Wu Sangui's army as soon as possible."

Among the Ming army under Jingcheng Pass, the 6,000 reserves were immediately divided into two roads, and 3,000 people each moved to the two flanks of the battlefield.

While moving, the reserve troops were also helping the front army to encircle and strangle Wu Sangui's troops at the same time.

In the former military formation, Wu Sangui's heart is now dripping blood.

From his point of view, it would be good if his 10,000 cavalry could now have 3,000 left, and all of them fell under the heavy fire of the Ming army.

"Impossible, impossible, the official army can't be so strong, if it's all such firepower, then how can the Liukou break through the Jingshi?"

In the army, Wu Sangui looked up to the sky with tears and laughter on his face and roared loudly.

Suddenly, Wu Sangui finally reacted, and once again scolded the Ming army position with a crying voice.

"Liu Ximing, I grass your grandma, this Ming world is delayed by you, if it weren't for you not moving, how could Your Majesty die, how could Jingshi be broken, but let Lao Tzu carry this black cauldron, I grass your grandma, I grass your grandma......"

God knows how resentful Wu Sangui is at the moment, he is a good man who is "filial piety to the nine sides and bravely crowns the three armies", and he is forced to surrender to the dog-like Jianyu.

also had to shave off the Han family's bun, keep a child-like money rat tail, plus the insults and contempt he had suffered in the Jianyu Army during this time, Wu Sangui cried like a three-hundred-pound child directly in front of the battle.

Just in the middle of the Ming army, dozens of soldiers noticed this stupid big man who was crying and laughing in front of the battle.

Upon discovering the ornate armor he was wearing, the dozens of soldiers decisively raised their muskets.

"Bang", "Bang"

Brilliant flames erupted from the muzzle of the gun, and dozens of high-speed projectiles directly smashed the armor on Wu Sangui's body into a sieve, and Wu Sangui's body fell backwards unnaturally as if it was supported.

At the moment when he fell to the ground, everything slowed down in front of Wu Sangui's eyes.

In that year, he led more than 20 cavalry to charge to save his father.

Chongzhen of the Jinluan Palace praised him for his courage to crown the three armies.

In the army of high diving, Liu Ximing smiled and said to him, you and I will fight together sooner or later.

In front of the Shanhai Pass, he surrendered to Dolgon on his knees with his money rat tail.

……

All kinds of scenes flashed in front of Wu Sangui one by one like illusions, and Wu Sangui, who was on the verge of losing consciousness, made an unconscious lotus sound from his mouth.

"How I want to go back to the time when I was a famous young man of the Han family."

A generation of big traitors, Wu Sangui, died.

Along with Wu Sangui's fall, there was also the banner of the Chinese army held by the guards around him.

"Wu Sangui is dead"

"Wu Sangui is dead"

The shouts of the sky resounded through the front army.

Hula, the remnants of more than 2,000 Guan Ning iron horsemen were like frightened rabbits, trying to escape along the gap in the Ming army's big array.

It's a pity that Li Jinghong arranged this kind of large formation in order to retain the enemy army, and with the support of the left and right wings, the remnants of this group of cavalry were exhausted in the left and right rush.

As the last Guanning iron cavalry fell to the ground, a fierce cheer erupted in the Ming army's array.

At this time, the Ming troops advancing to the left and right flanks were also all in place, and seeing the fierce attack of Azig's troops braving the artillery fire, the Ming troops on both flanks directly lined up, and all of them aimed their guns at the center of the battlefield.

The entire array was like a pocket, just waiting for Azig to lead more than 10,000 cavalry to get in.

The Ming army in the center of the battle array also couldn't care about cleaning up the battlefield, so they experienced a big battle, and the soldiers were already a little physically and mentally exhausted.

Li Jinghong did not order the front army to change formations again, but still maintained the appearance of a hollow phalanx and prepared to meet the enemy.

Under Jingcheng Pass, Liu Xi's army under Liu Xi's command will once again have a fierce collision with the Jianyu army.
