Chapter 225: Battle Outside the City (2)

As soon as he saw the formation of Ying Longjun, Azig knew what Ying Longjun wanted to do, and he must have planned to forcibly defeat him and drive him and his Qing army horses back to the north gate.

"It's too much to deceive, don't think about it!" Azig looked hideous, at this time there were already 100,000 Qing army horses gathered at the west gate, he would never be able to retreat to the north gate with the army under the attack of the Ying Long army, if he really did that, it would be his third shame, he really had no face to raise his head, Azig would not let himself fall into that situation even if he would rather die.

"Giant crossbow attack!" Azig yelled, he has a giant crossbow, which has a longer range than Ying Longjun's musket, and can restrain Ying Longjun, and he still has 100,000 troops in hand, and he can't stop Ying Longjun.

Of course, Azig was not careless, and in addition to the battle, he also sent someone to the north gate to inform Dorgon.

Hundreds of giant crossbows were carried forward by Qing soldiers, ready to meet the Ying Long army.

At this time, the Qing army was less than three hundred meters away from Ying Long's army.

"Qing Army Giant Crossbow!" Zhang Kuishan raised his eyebrows, and immediately ordered: "Break the crossbow camp and destroy the Qing army's giant crossbow!" ”

The nine hundred soldiers of the Yinglong Army instantly collected their guns, broke away from the main force, and rushed towards the hundreds of Qing army giant crossbows three hundred meters away at the fastest speed.

This crossbow battalion was decided by Zhu Cihong after consulting with the generals, and the method of specifically restraining the Qing army's giant crossbow was to organize a team of soldiers to quickly rush up to destroy the Qing army's giant crossbow regardless of the Qing army's giant crossbow when it appeared.

It's a simple trick, and it works!

The firing range of the Yinglong army's flintlock pistol is 150 meters, which means that the soldiers of the Yinglong army in the 900 crossbow battalion only need to quickly rush through the distance of 150 meters before the Qing army can react, and the Qing army's giant crossbow is considered successful.

"Rush!" The nine hundred soldiers of the Ying Long Army were like a hundred meters of sprint, only slightly slower than the war horses, and the distance of one hundred and fifty meters could only be reached in a maximum of ten breaths.

"Oh no, they want to destroy the giant crossbow, block it!" Azig is also a Manchu general who has fought for more than ten years, although he is reckless and impulsive, but he is not stupid, when the soldiers of the 900 broken crossbow battalion rushed to a distance of seventy or eighty meters, he reacted to the plan of the dragon army, and immediately issued an order.

It's just that at this time, the crossbow battalion only has a distance of seventy or eighty meters to include the giant crossbow into the firing range, and the Qing army behind has no time to react, but a few of the Qing soldiers who operate the giant crossbow in front of them subconsciously rushed forward.

"Bang bang bang" white smoke billowed out, and the lead bullet pierced the air, hitting the Qing army's giant crossbow, and at the same time beating the Qing soldiers next to him to blood splashes.

There was only a breathing pause for "bang, bang, bang", and the second column of the crossbow battalion opened fire.

Three rounds of continuous firing caused hundreds of giant crossbows and sawdust to fly across the Qing army, and some of them fell apart on the spot. After the soldiers of the 900 Broken Crossbow Battalion finished firing, they didn't have time to load, so they immediately turned around and quickly turned back and returned to the main force.

"Nope! My Greatbow! Azig roared, extremely angry, without the giant crossbow, how could he resist the attack of Ying Long's army.

"Kill! Defeat Ying Longjun! Azig roared wildly, almost crazy, he was not willing at all, if he was so hastily evacuated under the attack of the Ying Long army, it would be another shame, this is absolutely unacceptable!

Azig was crazy, although he had some consciousness in his heart that it was extremely difficult to stop the offensive of the 40,000 Ying Long Army with only the 100,000 army in his hands, but he was still unwilling and had a glimmer of extravagant hope.

Of the 100,000 Qing troops, 30,000 were Manchurian and Mongolian iron cavalry, and 70,000 Han banner troops. Not everyone in the Qing army has seen the power of the Ying Long army, and the 100,000 Qing army attacked on all fronts under the order of Azig, facing the muzzle of the Ying Long army, and launched an attack on the 40,000 Ying Long army.

"Kill" 100,000 Qing troops charged together, mighty and powerful, and the momentum was not weak!

"Hehe, the Qing army is sending you to death!" Zhang Kuishan smiled, and did not take the 100,000 Qing army in his eyes.

The two sides are getting closer and closer, two hundred and fifty meters, two hundred meters

"First column ready!"

"Fire!" When the Qing army entered the firing range of 150 meters, Zhang Kuishan immediately ordered to open fire.

"Bang Bang Bang"

Tens of thousands of lead bullets swept through, bringing a large area of blood red among the Qing army, hundreds of Qing soldiers were killed, and as Ying Long's army continued to fire, the Qing soldiers fell in pieces like cutting wheat.

"Fire!"

"Bang Bang Bang"

When tens of thousands of Qing soldiers were not killed, the Qing army was finally frightened, and immediately stopped, pale and full of horror, with the continuous advancement of the Ying Long army's formation and retreated, the distance of one hundred and fifty meters was like an insurmountable thunder pool.

The Qing army came up with the idea of using a giant crossbow in the rainy season and a longer range to restrain the Ying Long army, but it doesn't rain every day in the rainy season, and the giant crossbow also has weaknesses. The Qing army can think of ways to restrain the Qing army according to the weakness of the Ying Long army, but the Ying Long army can also think of ways to restrain the Qing army.

Azig's face was like ashes, but he still couldn't stop the offensive of Ying Long's army.

Azig's mood at this moment was like being forcibly passed through the camp by Ji Feng outside Tai'an City that day, extremely angry and extremely aggrieved, although he wanted to block the offensive of Ying Long's army, but there was no way.

"Hehe, do you think you don't have to die this way?" Zhang Kuishan stared at the Qing army that was constantly retreating under the attack of Ying Long's army, and sneered, did the Qing army think that it would be fine if it didn't enter within one hundred and fifty meters of Ying Long's army, this is impossible!

"Ying Longjun is divided into formations to assault!"

With Zhang Kuishan's order, the 40,000 Ying Long army split into more than a dozen parts in a formation of every 3,000 people, and quickly attacked forward.

"Charge!" Niu Yongsheng, the commander of the Sixth Army, had been following Zhang Kuishan's side, but this time, as soon as he split the formation, he excitedly personally led a group of men and horses of the Sixth Army to charge forward.

"What the! With only 100,000 Qing troops, what excitement is he excess! The corners of Zhang Kuishan's mouth twitched slightly.

In fact, Zhang Kuishan didn't understand Niu Yongsheng's mood at all, although he was one of the six commanders of the Ying Long Army, but Niu Yongsheng was the most inconsistent with this position, because he had the lowest qualifications, the fewest military achievements, and could hardly convince the public.

Niu Yongsheng took one of the three thousand soldiers, quickly collected his guns, and sprinted forward fifty meters at a sprinting speed, as did the soldiers of the Ying Long Army in the other formations.

With such a sudden speed of Ying Longjun, the Qing army didn't have time to react, and was immediately included in Ying Longjun's firing range.

"Fire!" Ying Long's army quickly re-formed a neat formation at a distance of 100 meters from the Qing army, and opened fire!

"Bang bang bang" countless lead bullets once again set off countless blood flowers among the Qing army.

The Qing army fell piece by piece, and this scene was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. The Qing army was originally extremely afraid of entering the range of one hundred and fifty meters of Ying Longjun's firing range, and they were constantly retreating under the pressure of Ying Longjun, but Ying Longjun's sudden hand instantly blinded them.
