Chapter 1046: The Frustration of Ao Bai (1)
Thirty miles away, it will be killed quickly.
"Lord Ao, in front is Shah Luzhen, and the seven thousand Ming troops are besieging there!" A general with eight banners pointed to a dimly visible city in front of him and bowed to him.
Shah Ru was really built on the plains, not a dangerous place, nor a city, but because it was not far from the city of Isfahan, there were a lot of people with a population of 70,000 or 80,000, which was also a large city.
And the city is now under siege by a Ming army of 7,000 men.
The Ming army was arrogant, and after breaking through the Yazd defense line, it was dispersed into multiple roads, and the city before Isfahan was captured on a large scale, and even some Ming troops were far away from the main force and unscrupulously attacked the city near Isfahan, and this Ming army of 7,000 people was one of the unscrupulous ones.
Ao Bai is very angry, the Qing Dynasty cannot be humiliated!
"Eight Banners are invincible, kill!" Ao Bai roared, led 40,000 cavalry with eight banners, and charged, rushing towards Shah Luzhen in front, vowing to completely annihilate this unscrupulous 7,000 Ming army.
"Eight Banners is invincible!" 40,000 cavalry of the Eight Banners shouted together, the momentum was quite loud, and it seemed to have resumed the momentum of the first cavalry in the world.
In fact, Ao Bai has always thought so, and the Eight Banners Iron Rider has always been invincible in the world in his heart.
The honor of the Eight Banners must be reshaped in blood! Aobai's eyes flashed brightly, and he was very determined. Thirty years have passed since the defeat of the Central Plains of the Eight Banners and the westward migration.
Although the Eight Banners lived up to expectations, under the leadership of the regent, first destroyed Persia, then destroyed the Mughals, and destroyed the Ottomans, and once again laid down a vast territory, the prestige of the Eight Banners seems to have been restored, but it is still insufficient, because the Eight Banners have not defeated the Ming army, only the Ming army has also been defeated once, and the Eight Banners have really reshaped the prestige of the year.
The iron cavalry knocked on the earth, and the 40,000 cavalry of the Eight Banners under the command of Ao Bai got closer and closer to Shah Luzhen!
And with the approach of the 40,000 Manchu Eight Banner cavalry, the Ming army besieging Shah Ruzhen also saw the arrival of the Manchu Eight Banner cavalry.
"Commander, the Qing army has dispatched with eight banners, about 40,000 people, and it will kill Shah Luzhen immediately!" A Ming army scout rode his horse and rushed to Huang Xuan, the commander of the 7,000 Ming army.
Huang Xuan is the son of Huang Degong, the commander of the Third Army, who once married the native Hawaiian queen when he ascended to Hawaii for 6, and made a lot of 'contributions' to the stable assimilation of Hawaii by the Ming Dynasty.
This time, the 7,000 iron cavalry under the command of Huang Xuan, before the armies of all walks of life, were the first to kill under the city of Shah Ruzhen, which was very close to Isfahan, and besieged Shah Ruzhen, preparing to take Shah Luzhen and welcome the arrival of the main army.
"Oh? Full of Eight Flags! I saw that Huang Xuan's eyes lit up, and he didn't panic at all.
Huang Xuan is the son of Huang Degong, Chongzhen was born when he was eleven years old, and when he was just sensible, the Eight Banners were still raging in the Central Plains. Although he has been in the army for 20 years and has slowly become the commander of the first army, he has never fought against the Manchu Eight Banners, he only hates that he was born late and did not grow up in the vigorous Northern Expedition to expel the Manchu Qing when the Manchu Eight Banners ravaged the Central Plains.
Now he finally has the opportunity to fight against the Eight Banners, which is his long-cherished wish.
"Commander, there are about 40,000 people coming to the Eight Banners, should we send someone to ask for support?" A Ming army commander said to Huang Xuan. Although the Ming army claimed to be strong and did not take the Qing army in its eyes, the Manchurian Eight Banners were not ordinary Qing troops and had to be feared.
"No, although our army is only 7,000 people here, we know through the radio that many soldiers from other armies have already been killed less than twenty miles away from our army, and they don't need to be notified at all, they will also kill in our direction, and at most they will be able to reach Shah Ruzhen in half an hour. There are 40,000 people in the Manchurian Eight Banners, but the combat effectiveness of our army is definitely doubled that of the Manchurian Eight Banners, and they are not necessarily the opponents of my 7,000-strong army, besides, do you think that only 40,000 Manchurian Eight Banners can annihilate us in half an hour? Huang Xuan smiled disdainfully.
"What the commander said is very true!" Several regiment leaders beside him all nodded in agreement, and their hearts were relieved.
As early as the eve of the war to destroy the Qing Dynasty, the Ming intelligence system had a clear understanding of the approximate number and weapon configuration of the Qing army, and Huang Xuan and other generals knew about the change of imitation rifles in the Eight Banners.
However, even if the Eight Banners are equipped with imitation rifles, don't forget that they are only copying the first generation of Daming's rifles, which can only be loaded at a time, which is lagging behind the first generation of Daming rifles and much worse than the overall configuration of the Ming army.
Maybe the Eight Banners are not afraid of death, but the elite of the Ming Dynasty is not far behind, and with much more advanced weapons, it may not be impossible to defeat the Eight Banners that are nearly six times their size.
"Come on, let's face off with the Eight Banners and tell them who is the number one army in the world!" Looking at the Eight Banners that were getting closer and closer, Huang Xuan was arrogant and said with a smile.
The generals at all levels are also full of pride, with only 40,000 full of eight banners, is it difficult to scare them!
A large number of Ming soldiers who had given up their war horses carried heavy machine guns, light machine guns, mortars, etc., and quickly stepped forward to deploy and aimed at the 40,000 cavalry of the Eight Banners.
Dense dust and smoke, 800 meters, 700 meters, 600 meters----
Although he had already entered the range of the heavy machine gun, Huang Xuan did not rush to order the soldiers to fire, but let Man Baqi continue to approach.
Four hundred meters!
Some of the soldiers of the Eight Banners who rushed to the front had already raised their rifles and were ready to shoot at the Ming army.
The Ming army defeated the Eight Banners with advanced weapons, almost destroying the will of the Eight Banners, and the shame of the Eight Banners for thirty years.
Today, the Eight Banners also have rifle weapons that are not inferior to the Ming Army, and the two sides fight on an equal footing, and the Ming Army is like a chicken, tile and dog, and the prestige of the Eight Banners is reshaped with today's battle.
Ao Bai thinks very well, but unfortunately, it is impossible for him to think of equal combat, not to show that the army's weapons are still much more advanced, and there is no possibility of equal combat in terms of the difference in numbers between the two sides, besides, the war only wants victory, only victory is the king, the so-called equal battle is a joke, otherwise what do you need to do with armor and weapons, and directly fight with stone tools and wooden tips like the uncivilized natives!
"Fire!" Just when Ao Bai's face was full of coldness, thinking that he could fight with the Ming army on an equal footing and crush the Ming army, Huang Xuan took the first step and ordered the Ming army to fire.
"Da ---"
Light machine guns and heavy machine guns opened fire fiercely in unison, and the dense bullets were fired at the cavalry of the Eight Banners, which had already rushed into the four hundred meters and gathered.
"Poof! Burst! Poof----" Suddenly, people turned on their backs, and a large number of full eight flags fell.
"Boom! Boom! ----Dozens of mortars also opened fire at this time, striking the fiercest blow at the Manchurian Eight Banners.
