135 Invincible Commander (2/4 for Elder 007)
The Ming army no longer advanced, but defended on the spot. Even from the back of the military formation, a few tiger squat cannons were moved.
This cannon was small, a bit like the mortars of later generations. One person can hug it, in fact, when the Ming army was fighting, there were people who held this kind of tiger squat cannon on their bodies and fired it on a horse.
At this time, these tiger squat cannons were placed between the gaps between the teams. Nail it to the ground with a large spike. The barrel of the cannon has long been filled with gravel slag. Because the firing range is very short, when the battle is approaching, it can only fire one shot.
Generally speaking, there will not be many enemies injured by these tiger squatting cannons. But at least it is a deterrent, and it can also give your own courage and boost morale.
The Manchu army was still advancing, but it didn't go far, and those of them who could draw their hard bows began to shoot arrows at the Ming army.
Scattered arrows whizzed in, "poof" and fell, some were inserted in the ground, and some fell in the Ming army's formation, shooting and wounding the Ming army's soldiers. Inevitably, the wounded soldier fell to the ground, causing some commotion.
When the Ming officers saw it, they immediately shouted loudly, and at the same time, the archers who could shoot hard bows on the side of the Ming army also came out of the front of the battle one after another and began to fire back at the Tartars. However, on the whole, the Ming army's formation has remained unchanged.
If it continues to shoot like this, the Ming army will definitely suffer. Because the opponent's protection ability is very strong, even if you are hit by an arrow, as long as you don't shoot in a place that is not protected, there will basically be no harm. And the Ming army is obviously not good.
Fortunately, the reason why a strong bow is a strong bow is that it requires a lot of force to pull the bow. No matter how strong a person is, he can't shoot many arrows. In the end, the two sides decided the outcome in hand-to-hand combat.
At the head of the city, after Du Du saw that he had sent out the white-armored soldiers, he took advantage of a lot, and his mood was finally a little lighter. However, when he saw that the Ming army's formation was basically not chaotic, his face became gloomy again.
When his subordinate generals saw it, they hurriedly relieved: "Master, don't worry, my white-armored soldiers of the Qing Dynasty are invincible in the world, and when they will rush closer, they will be able to quickly defeat the Ming army." ”
The white-armored soldiers are the trump card of the Qing Dynasty, invincible, and it may not be very convenient to use them to attack the city, but they can be used in field battles, but they have no opponents.
Du Du listened, turned his head to look at him, nodded and said, "This Ming army forced me to dispatch white-armored soldiers, which is not bad!" ”
Chen Weiquan, the commander of the surrendered county, nodded even more, and praised with a thumbs up: "The white-armored soldiers of the Qing Dynasty have been heard of for a long time, even if they are villains, and they are famous......
As soon as he was patting his ass, he heard a sound of "babble", interrupting him.
When Du Du heard this, he immediately heard the sound and looked over, only to see that on the battlefield, the white-armored soldiers had already shouted and launched a charge. And the Ming army, on the other hand, had already ordered to shoot, and the smoke suddenly came out of thin air, covering the battlefield.
It is still winter, and the north wind is howling, which is conducive to the Ming army coming from the north. The smoke that came out of the ground blew towards the Tartars, somewhat blocking the Tartars' view.
Although the Tartar's protective ability is strong, after all, it has reached the effective range of the firebolt, and the Tartar who charged ahead began to fall to the ground. However, more Tartars roared and quickened their pace and rushed forward.
Du Du at the head of the city looked indifferent, there were no immortals in the war, this kind of battle between the two armies, it was normal to kill and wound a few white-armored soldiers.
As long as the Qing warriors rushed closer, the axes and javelins could be thrown. And the archers behind him also began to cover forward. Once the Qing warriors rushed into the camp of the Ming army, with these Ming troops in front of them, they would definitely be slaughtered!
At this moment, Du Du seemed to see the dawn of victory!
But at this time, He Renlong and Cao Bianjiao, two people, saw that the handsome flag was sending a signal.
Suddenly, the two of them almost unanimously let go of the restraints on the war horse under the crotch, and also clamped the horse's belly with their legs, and the war horse suddenly rushed out like an arrow from the string. At the same time, the two of them clenched the spear in their hands, pointed forward, and shouted: "Kill the prisoner with Ben!" ”
The Ming cavalry behind them roared angrily: "Kill!" ”
It's time to fulfill your promise to the emperor and express yourself!
Kill!
Two cavalry armies, one on the left and one on the right, galloped from the very beginning and quickly pounced on the waist position of the attacking Manchu army.
The sound of horses' hooves sounded quickly, and it immediately attracted the attention of the city.
Du Du sneered when he saw it, he was naturally no stranger to this kind of countermeasure, who had been in battle for a long time. Even without his direct command, the cavalry that was originally guarding on both sides of the white armor soldiers took the initiative to meet the charging Ming army.
The hedging of cavalry warfare is harsh, and it is also the most test of a cavalry army's riding skills and decisiveness. Generally speaking, the Ming cavalry rarely hedged against the Tartar cavalry, and was generally used to protect the two wings of the infantry army, and to chase and kill the enemy afterwards.
Du Du had confidence in the Mongolian Eight Banners under his command, and under the training of the Great Qing Dynasty, the fighting will of the Mongolian Eight Banners was second only to the men and horses of the Great Qing Headquarters, and their riding skills might even be a little stronger than that of the Great Qing Headquarters. If they were to meet the enemy, they would inevitably be able to easily thwart the Ming army's combat intentions. Maybe it may even be able to impact the two wings of the current Ming army in the opposite direction.
Although the cavalry launched an offensive later than the infantry army, because of the speed of the cavalry, the contact battle began first. It's like two torrents, slamming into each other.
What Du Du couldn't have imagined was that the two cavalry armies of the Ming Kingdom were both fierce and fearless of death, leading the generals to take the lead, under the protection of their own guards, regardless of the enemy behind them, just charging forward.
The same is true of the Ming army soldiers behind him, the momentum displayed is just like what the Qing army showed before, no matter whether it is a sword mountain or a sea of fire in front of him, it is still indomitable.
"Oops!" Du Du suddenly screamed, but it was too late.
The Ming cavalry was obviously not entangled in separating the victory from the Qing cavalry first, but no matter what happened to the Qing cavalry that had hedged past, they just continued to charge forward and went straight to the waist of the infantry army.
And because the Ming cavalry launched the charge first, the cavalry hedged and approached the side of the Qing infantry army. The Ming army, who did not care about the back at all, with the help of horsepower, had already rushed close to the waist of the Great Qing Infantry Army in the blink of an eye.
The cavalry against the infantry army, or the cavalry in the high-speed charge, against the defenseless flanks of the infantry army, suddenly, no matter how brave the white-armored soldiers were, they were like paper paste, and they were directly knocked away by the war horses, without the slightest resistance.
The two cavalry armies, He Renlong and Cao Bianjiao, attacked almost simultaneously on the left and right of the Manchu army, chiseled a crossing, and then faced the Mongolian Eight Banners that were hurrying back again.
However, at this time, the Mongolian Eight Banners were panicked, originally they were guarding the ground white armor soldiers were chiseled in a crossing, I don't know how many white armor soldiers died, the heart was panicking, and met the Ming cavalry army in excitement to achieve the tactical goal, in an instant, it has lost momentum, and the consequences are self-evident.
The cavalry bravely charged successfully this time, which immediately attracted the Ming soldiers to shout like thunder, and at the same time their morale was greatly boosted. The reserve Ming army also immediately stepped forward to prepare for battle.
After passing through the cavalry of the Mongolian Eight Banners again, he restrained the horse, pulled the reins hard, and the war horse turned around, He Renlong raised his hand and shook the bloody spear in his hand, and shouted: "Wan Sheng!" ”
Then the spear moved diagonally upwards again, and began to speed again. Obviously, this guy is crazy and ready to start the next round of attacks.
On the other side, Cao Bianjiao was also not to be outdone, and was also ready to attack again.
Although the white-armored soldiers were brave, they were broken by the Ming cavalry, and they lost their morale. At this time, seeing that the Ming cavalry was about to rush over again, but most of their own cavalry had lost, and the remaining white-armored soldiers, they were also human, and they would panic when they felt that they were in a desperate situation.
As a result, some of the white-armored soldiers were still obeying the military order to rush forward, but some of the white-armored soldiers had already ignored the military order and turned back and retreated, thinking of escaping back to the rear and joining up with the accomplices behind before the Ming cavalry rushed over again.
All of a sudden, even the brave white-armored soldiers were a little chaotic.
At this moment, at the head of the city, the sound of gongs rang out rapidly. Du Du obviously felt sorry for the white armor soldiers, and didn't want to lose too much, besides, it was meaningless to continue to assault forward, and seeing that the red Ming army reinforcements were about to drive up, he hurriedly Mingjin withdrew his troops.
As soon as the military order was given, none of the white-armored soldiers hesitated, and they retreated one after another. In case the retreat is slow, as soon as the Ming cavalry comes by surprise, there will be a large number of casualties.
However, this Qin army is also accustomed to fighting, and when faced with such a situation, how can it be easy for the white-armored soldiers to withdraw. Amid the shouts of the officers, the pikemen of the Ming army began to shout slogans together and march forward in pursuit. The spear of Rulin, like a moving hedgehog, rushed towards the retreating white-armored soldiers, trying to stick to them and prevent them from retreating smoothly.
Behind them, the musketeers were useless, but the archers could shoot arrows from an upward angle, and even if they could not shoot a large number of enemies, they could create an obstacle to their retreat and slow them down.
Du Du at the head of the city, looking at this scene, but there was no military power in his hands to send, he couldn't help but close his eyes in pain, and muttered to himself: "It's over, it's over!" ”
Although he has nearly 20,000 troops in his hands, most of them are two Tartars, and these troops have no problem guarding the plundered population, and it is no problem to fight a good battle and chase down the remnants of the enemy. But if they are allowed to fight against a strong enemy, especially when the situation is very bad, even the white armor soldiers are defeated, send them out to save the field, this is obviously impossible!
The moment he closed his eyes, Du Du knew that he had killed so many white-armored soldiers. I underestimated the fierceness of the Ming army in front of me. The Ming army outside the city was really surprising, especially the two Ming cavalry armies that decided the victory, regardless of the Mongolian Eight Banners behind them, rushed into the side of the white armor soldiers with no indomitable progress.
You must know that the white-armored soldiers are heavy infantry, and if the cavalry wants to charge, it must also be heavy cavalry. However, these two cavalry armies, only a few dozen or so cavalry were heavy cavalry, and most of them were light cavalry, so they crashed into the white armor soldiers, and they used the high-speed maneuvering of war horses and the sacrifices of those in front to break through the temporary and hastily formed defensive front of the white armor soldiers.
Of course, this also has something to do with the fact that the white armor soldiers are also careless. I always felt that it was impossible for the Ming Light Cavalry to attack them directly. At the very least, after a duel with the Mongol Eight Banners, the light cavalry harassed their flanks. But who knows, this group of Ming cavalry will be a group of crazy people!
At this moment, their impression of the Ming army changed suddenly, but the price was also heavy!
Du Du didn't even need to open his eyes, listening to the sound of the fighting outside the city, he could hear that the two Ming cavalry armies once again attacked the defeated and retreating white-armored soldiers. He pounded his head a little painfully and whispered to himself: "Why, why are you so careless?" Why is this Ming army so different? Why, why? ”
Chen Weiquan is also stupid, in his impression, Qin Bing is not so capable of fighting!
Naturally, they didn't know that this Qin army had been strengthened by the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom, who was far away in Beijing, and gave them such a reason to be brave. Like the Manchu army itself, they plundered and were able to share a large amount of wealth and slaves, which also gave them a reason to fight bravely.
The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are also people, and even they are all military families, and their ancestors are all wars. The reason why they couldn't defeat the Manchu army before was only because their logistics were too bad, and their reward system was too bad to mobilize their blood and bravery.
The gap between people is really not that big, and the invincibility of the Manchu army is just what Daming's own pig teammates are used to.
The battle outside the city came and ended quickly, only about an hour before and after, and the still alive Manchu army had already been defeated and retreated into the city. The corpse that was left outside the city could not be brought back, and it was cut off by the Ming army soldiers, raised in their hands, or raised with guns, and provoked the city.
I don't know when, suddenly, the soldiers of the Ming army outside the city all shouted loudly: "Wan Sheng!" ”
The sound is so loud that it can be said to be deafening. Every soldier of the Ming army was roaring with all his strength. Every soldier of the Ming army was ecstatic.
None of them imagined that this battle would be won so crisply and so freely. At this time, they felt very happy as if they had finally spit out a breath that they had been holding in their hearts for a long time!
Liaodong Jianyu, but that's it!
Even if the commanders of the Ming army, Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting were surprised by the smooth outcome of this battle. Kill at least 300 white-armored soldiers, and kill more than 600 Mongolian Eight Banners. The rarest thing is that this time, there is a first-class land, and it is the field that wins these Tartars.
"The brave wins!" Hong Chengchou stroked his beard with a smile and said with emotion, "That's it!" ”
And Sun Chuanting stared at the city, and the Tartars were like facing a great enemy one by one, and looked at the Ming soldiers who were cheering under the city, and muttered to himself: "The emperor understands the heart of the army, and he will be an invincible commander one day!"
At this moment, the psychological advantage that the Manchu army had built up for a long time was gone in the hearts of this Ming army!
It turns out that Liaodong Jianyu is not invincible!
Wu Zhong in the city, although he couldn't see the battle outside the city, but when he heard the roar of "Wansheng" coming from outside the city, he couldn't help but be a little stunned. He was glad that the Ming army could win the battle against Shang Jianyu, but he was also a little worried: "I am going to lurk outside the Guan, what can I do?" ”
