497 A new generation of Qi soldiers
Early the next morning, the camp was in an uproar. When many of the Mongol soldiers got up and looked at it, they were immediately surprised to find that they had died.
After coming back to their senses and knowing that it was the Ming army stealing the camp, they couldn't help but rejoice, glad that their camp tent was not on the outermost side, and it was not in the direction of the Ming army's sneak attack.
It stands to reason that after the Jianyu, especially the Mongol soldiers, were so tired yesterday, there are actually still sequelae today, and it is best to rest for half a day or a day or something, and it is better to start a war after it has really eased up.
However, Duoduo ordered to bury the pot and make rice, and he was willing to bleed, so that his army had a full meal, and then ordered the whole team to go out of the camp and prepare to attack Yaozhouyi.
"Woo woo woo ......"
The long horn sounded from time to time, and the Jianyu army came out in formation, under the escort of the cavalry, approaching the Yaozhou Station.
At the same time, to the south of Yaozhou Station, the two Jianyu cavalry battalions also responded, and all of them embraced the Jianyu cavalry and were also approaching Yaozhou Station.
At first glance, I saw that Yaozhou Post was in all directions, almost all over the mountains, all of them were Jianyu troops, just looking at this scene, it was a bit scary.
However, although the Ming army of Yaozhouyi was already in full battle, judging from their faces, there was no sense of tension at all. Obviously, today's Ming army has enough psychological quality to deal with this situation.
Duoduo in the distance, observing this situation of the Ming army, made him realize once again that the Ming army today is no longer the Ming army of the past. If it was the Ming army in the past, after the Qing army showed this kind of might, you could see the panicked expressions on the faces of the Ming soldiers. Their movements can also be stiff, and even the formation is difficult to complete.
After seeing it clearly, I already have a general understanding in my heart, but no matter what, when it comes to this part, it must be fought.
According to the battle plan he thought of yesterday, he saw Duoduo pass Wu Keshan, and shouted coldly: "Your unit will dispatch elite cavalry to feint to attack the defense line on the west side of Yaozhouyi, and the momentum will be fierce, attracting the Ming army to shoot, or open artillery, and consume their ammunition." Also, prepare the ropes, it would be nice to be able to drag away those rejected horses! ”
When Wu Keshan heard this, he clenched his fists and received the order, and he did not refuse this military order. In the past, when I was fighting with the Qing army, I also did this. As long as the elite cavalry was dispatched and showed the power of rushing straight up, the Ming soldiers often shot when the cavalry was not yet within range. In this case, the cavalry is actually safe, and only the unlucky ones will be injured by stray bullets.
In a short time, a cavalry army of more than 1,000 men began to gather on the western front. The Jianyu on the other flanks were also preparing, as if they were about to attack Yaozhouyi, and their role was to create a tense atmosphere to contain the Ming army on the other defensive lines.
"Woo woo woo ......"
The sound of the horn sounded again, and the men shouted and the horses neighed, and then echoed.
The Jianyu cavalry began to drive their horses away from the place, scattering the line, and rushing towards the Yaozhou Post faster and faster.
"Boom Boom ......"
The rumbling sound of horses' hooves became more and more urgent. The Mongols on horseback lay down, as if they had become one with the war horse, driving the war horse faster and faster. There were so many hurried horses' hooves that it seemed that the earth was shaking when they were trampling.
I have to say that the riding skills of the Mongols are indeed exquisite, and the charging momentum they created is not something that ordinary cavalry can achieve. Because the other cavalry might have to reserve the speed of their horses for the subsequent turn, lest they be too quick to turn and really crash into their heads, but the Mongols had no such concerns. When they charged, they slowly raised the speed of their horses to the highest, and the momentum they showed was naturally far more terrifying than that of other cavalry troops.
However, even if they played at the level they should. But the soldiers of the Ming army on the western front, even if they only relied on the defense line composed of partial vans, and were not as strong as the Yaozhou post city wall, they did not see anyone panicking.
Officers at all levels are telling their subordinates: "Those who shoot without military orders will be killed!" ”
Or, the pikemen behind the side carriage received an order: "Prepare bows and arrows, no military orders, and those who shoot arrows without permission will be killed!" ”
This kind of trick of Jianyu is actually very familiar to the Ming army. They just wanted to lure the Ming army into opening fire. After repeating it a few times, it is likely to turn from virtual to real, and it is really necessary to attack suddenly, so you must guard against it.
......The sound of horses' hooves became more and more urgent.
The Mongols' shouts ......of killing became louder and louder.
Closer, closer.
Damn, why didn't the Ming army fire yet, didn't shoot yet? The Mongolian Tartars who charged on horseback saw that they were about to enter the effective range of the guns, but before they saw the effect, they couldn't help but curse their mothers in their hearts.
The Mongolian Tartar, who was running at the front, pulled out his rope and began to swing it. They received the task and were ready to throw the refuge to see if they could pull the rejecting horse away. However, if it can be used to reject the horse, it will definitely be within the range of the Ming army.
Finally, the Mongol cavalry rushed into the range of the guns, but instead of rushing any further, they immediately took the reins, controlled the horses, and escaped the effective range of the guns in an arc at the first time. Only a dozen or so Mongol Tatars who had received the task continued to move forward, trying to trap the horses deployed at the front of the position.
At this moment, the signal flag waved, and a Ming army officer saw it and issued a military order to his subordinates.
"Woo Woo ......"
Gunsmoke suddenly came out, and the gunshots rang out.
When Duoduo saw it in the distance, he couldn't help but be disappointed. Because the Ming army only had a group of musketeers shooting, it was obvious that it was only aimed at the Mongols who were trying to trap the horses. The other Ming soldiers were not disturbed by the gunfire and did not shoot together.
After the gunshots rang out, the war horses screamed, and in just one round of shooting, half of the war horses fell.
The Ming army was also ruthless enough, not aiming at people, but just aiming at the war horse with a larger target.
The three-stage shooting method, under continuous shooting, only a moment of effort, the gunfire stopped. In front of them, there were fallen horses wailing, and the same Mongols were shot, either dying or trying to crawl in the direction of their own ranks.
Seeing this, a group of Ming troops came out from behind the side van, armed with spears, and stabbed the wounded Mongolian Tartars in front of the two armies. Then, in full view of everyone, he pulled the war horses that were also killed and dragged them towards the Ming army's position.
Seeing this scene, the soldiers of the Ming army all cheered. Obviously, they had horse meat to eat.
The Mongols would not eat horse meat even if they were hungry, because they knew that the horses were part of them. But if the horse dies, that's a different story. At this time, seeing the Ming army so unscrupulous and dragging away their war horses without any scruples, in their eyes, they were all on fire, but they were helpless.
After observing for a while, Dodor did not give up, but began to deploy his troops again, preparing for the next attack.
At the head of the city, Li Dingguo saw Jianyu's movements, so he immediately told Li Guo: "Dashuai, Jianyu is going to attack from the upwind. ”
The firearms of black powder have a very bad disadvantage. Whether it is an artillery or a musket, in the process of firing, a lot of gunpowder smoke will be generated. If the number of artillery muskets fired was too large, the smoke would fill the air and the view would inevitably be blocked.
Jianyu wanted to launch an offensive from the upwind, obviously knowing this defect of firearms.
Judging the direction of the enemy's main attack is the premise of whether the defenders can better hold the front. Li Guo listened, nodded, and then passed the general order.
In the Jianyu formation, this time it was no longer just a cavalry attack. It's a step-by-step linkage. The cavalry responded, and the infantry pushed the carts one by one, forming a scattered formation, and launched an attack on the Ming army. The archers of Jianyu hid behind the front chariot. Then, there are soldiers who are ready to fight hand-to-hand. Its purpose is self-evident.
On the side of the Ming army, the artillery got on the side van and began to move the artillery on the car in response to it.
The sound of "knock ......" war drums resounded in the sky above Yaozhou Station.
As the Jianyu in the main attack direction began to move, the Jianyu in other directions, the infantry and cavalry coalition forces also began to force the Ming army, and the all-out attack officially began.
The line was slowly advancing, and this time, it was the Ming army that attacked first.
"Boom...... Rumble...... On ......the side of the Ming army, the Hongyi cannon with the longest range, separated by a few feet, took turns aiming at Jianyu's car and firing the cannon.
The smoke emitted by each cannon temporarily enveloped the vicinity of the artillery, but then the "lonely hand" was blown away by the wind in the field.
One after another, the iron bullets formed a small parabolic arc and smashed rapidly into the distance.
Among the five iron bullets, basically one of them will hit the cart that is slowly pushed over, making a loud "bang", and no matter how strong the cart is, it will be torn apart in response. The building behind the car, unfortunately, became the nutrients of the soil when it was smashed, and it was basically impossible to live again. But more often than not, it was to rush to both sides at the first time. Overall, there were not many casualties.
These attacking Jianlu, looking at the bodies of their disorganized accomplices, as if they didn't see it, did not panic, but continued to hide behind the chariot on the side and continued to attack.
As the line of troops got closer and closer, Jianyu's cavalry began to move, slowly increasing the speed of their horses, and began to launch a high-speed charge towards the Ming position. However, this time, they were no longer just pure shocks, but shot arrows with mounted bows, without accuracy, and only shot at the Ming positions and disturbed the Ming soldiers for their purposes.
Some of these cavalry troops, even some of them, would gallop to the front and then turn over and dismount, hide behind the horses, and shoot rockets at the side of the Ming army, specifically shooting near the artillery, trying to ignite the gunpowder near the artillery.
At this time, on the side of the Ming army, the flintlock musketeers also began to return fire. However, not all flintlock musketeers fired, but staggered with the artillery, lest the smoke from the gunpowder be too thick. In addition, the archers in the Ming army also began to return fire.
Amid the sound of war drums and artillery, the mournful roar of war horses began, as well as the painful groans of the wounded. However, all this did not have any impact on the situation of the war. What should be offensive is still attacking, and what should be defended is still defending.
When Jianyu's cart entered the effective range of the Ming artillery, there were more and more carts with the middle artillery. Finally, an order was given from Jianlu's side, and the Jianlu behind those chariots shouted, and the chariots were pushed up by them at the fastest speed and rushed towards the Ming army's position.
If, under normal circumstances, the artillery of the Ming army began to fire in a panic, it would have fallen into the hands of Jianyu. The smoke of many artillery guns firing together was enough for the Ming army to block the line of sight and cover the Jianyu approach.
However, Jianyu was obviously disappointed, although Jianyu showed the momentum of rushing up, but the artillery of the Ming army was still firing according to certain laws. If the cannon should be fired, the cannon will definitely be fired in time when the order is given; Absolutely no cannon will fire if it shouldn't be fired.
You must know that these artillery pieces belong to the Che Battalion, and the Che Battalion was trained by Emperor Chongzhen with Qi Jiguang's severe art of war regardless of the cost. When training, if you do it wrong, you should cut off your head and there will be no ambiguity. The quality of the artillery of these car battalions is far from being comparable to that of ordinary border soldiers.
No matter what the shelling is, the charge of Jianyu is getting closer and closer. Jianyu's chariot effectively shielded the bullets and protected the Jianyu behind.
After getting closer, the brave Jianlu rushed out of the chariot and began to charge towards the Ming position, wah-wah, waving his weapons.
Duoduo in the distance saw this scene and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. At this time, it is the narrow road where the brave wins. He was confident in the bravery of the Qing warriors, and what he saw at this time were all selected brave men, charging the Ming army front.
As long as a part of the Qing army rushed into the defense line of the Ming army, then there would be no suspense in this battle. Hand-to-hand combat has always been the strong point of the Qing Dynasty!
At this time, a group of knights galloped towards the banner of Dord.
"Master, Sheng Jing is here!" When Dodor's guards saw this, they immediately reported to Dodor.
When Duoduo heard this, he turned his head to look at it, and recognized that the person in charge was Han Gou Ning finished me, so he turned his head again, not bothering to pay attention to him.
Almost everyone knows about Duoduo's hatred for the Han Chinese. After I got closer, I saw that Duoduo didn't pay attention to him, and I didn't dare to let go of a fart, so I had to wait for this battle to end behind Duoduo first.
Seeing that the Qing soldiers were about to rush to the front of the Ming army's position, Ning Wan's mouth was open, and when I was about to compliment Duoduo, I saw that a dark cloud seemed to emerge from the Ming army's position. The people in the army naturally knew that it was not a dark cloud, but a rain of arrows.
With the density of this rain of arrows, how many archers must there be, how could the Ming army have so many archers?
When he was still surprised, he saw a sudden rain of arrows in front of the Ming army's position, nailing all the screaming Jianyu to the ground. The whole world seems to have calmed down a lot.
At this moment, whether it was Ning Wanme or Duoduo, they were all dumbfounded.
