Chapter 394 Confucius blesses, invulnerable IV
On the battlefield, there was an unexpected scene for the Qing Dynasty's "Prince of Jin" Duoduo, although he invested 9,000 green battalion soldiers and 2,000 Eight Banner soldiers who pressed the formation, but he still fell into a bitter battle.
The green battalion soldiers who were fighting under the round fortress in front of them were now just struggling to support, and the green battalion soldiers who attacked the head of the round fortress were about to succeed, and they were actually forced to retreat step by step by the Ming army training that broke out.
"Blessed by Sage Kong...... Invulnerable! โ
The shouts of the Ming army suddenly became extremely high-pitched at this time! It turned out that the Ming army, which was fighting with the green battalion of the Qing army on the flank of the round fort, had already achieved an overwhelming advantage and began to launch a general attack, and Liu Liangzuo's green battalion soldiers could not resist it at all!
"A bunch of rubbish!" Duoduo's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and cursed.
"Lord Wang, the minions are invited to fight!"
"Lord Wang, let the minions go up!"
Immediately, two Jiala's real people stepped forward to take their men into battle.
"Zhuo Luo, you bring people to the ......" Duoduo raised his horsewhip and pointed to the C-shaped fortress, "I will take this fortress for this king no matter what!" The king wants to see what is in those sacks. โ
Jia La's forehead named Zhuo Luo was really stunned, "Lord Wang, He Luohui can be tight over there......"
Duoduo glared at him: "Since He Luohui is Gushan Ezhen, you don't need to worry about him!" Go and besiege the city, and if you can't take it, the king will take your Kala-ezhen! โ
"Wow!" Where did Zhuo Luo dare to talk nonsense, so he got up and left.
At the same time, He Luohui already knew that the Green Battalion under Liu Liangzuo's command had been defeated. However, he did not panic, but ordered the four Eight Banners under his command to divide into two parts, one on the horse; One of them shot arrows from a distance on one side, keeping a certain distance from the Ming army, and seemed to want to use long-range arrows to shoot the Ming army under the blessing of Confucius.
Stilwell is also always keeping an eye on the Eight Banners soldiers who are supervising the battle, don't look at the fact that they are only thousands, but their combat effectiveness is stronger than that of five thousand green battalion soldiers!
"Formation! Quickly form a big formation...... The gun is in front, the spear is in the center, the bow and arrow are in the back, and the sword player is on the right and left! โ
Seeing that the Green Battalion was almost defeated, Stilwell did not dare to pursue it any longer, and immediately ordered the troops to form a formation, and more than 3,000 people quickly formed a large rectangular formation. And in the process of their formation, He Luohui's Eight Banners did not take the opportunity to attack, half of them still shot far away, and the other half got on the horse and did not approach the impact, just watched from afar.
And when the Ming army's bird-gun soldiers were in position, He Luohui even ordered the archers to retreat again, retreat to sixty or seventy paces away, and shoot from a distance with light arrows.
At the same time, twenty or thirty horsemen were sent out to contain the scattered Green Battalion soldiers...... These Green Battalion soldiers are not disposable, they can still be reused.
Now He Luohui has two purposes, one is to "watch" the dead soldiers of the 3,000 Ming army to the death, and prevent them from joining the battle of the C-shaped fortress.
The second is waiting for the Hongyi cannon!
When Liu Liangzuo's troops were in a bitter battle, he sent someone to Duoduo to ask for the Hongyi cannonโthe Manchurians in these years not only surpassed the Ming army of the same era, but even better than their own descendants in history.
The cumbersome cannon of Hongyi is not only a siege weapon in their hands, but also can be used for field battles, and the effect is very good.
Because the cavalry could not fight the opponent's Ming army, they could only adopt the method of fighting in formation when facing the Eight Banners. And the infantry in formation is the best target of the Hongyi artillery, and it is a large area when it is swept away!
At the same time, the Qing army, which had superior cavalry and could control the battlefield, could calmly transfer and deploy Hongyi cannons on the battlefield, thus making up for the shortcomings of Hongyi cannons being too bulky.
And although there are many Hongyi cannons on the side of the Ming army, they can't be used like the Qing army - how mobile the Eight Banners are! How can you pull the cannon mount cannon slowly, and before you can set up the cannon, the people will transfer. It is also possible that a charge directly captured the cannon!
Therefore, it was not very useful for the Ming army to use 12-pounder Hongyi cannons against the opponent's Eight Banners in field battles, and could only use light 3-pounder regimental guns.
Shi Dewei, who had never fought with the Qing army, didn't know that the Hongyi cannon was used well, and saw that the Eight Banners were just shooting arrows from a distance, which did not cause much damage to his side, and he was still wondering if he should take advantage of the opportunity that Sage Kong was still blessing the big guy to meet the Eight Banners for a while?
"Dangdangdang......"
As Stilwell pondered, the sound of metal pounding suddenly sounded in his ears. The voice came from behind him...... Is this Mingjin's retreat?
Stilwell hurriedly turned his head to look at a solid platform on the west side of the main city of Qufu, and saw that a red flag had pointed to the position between the platform and the east gate (and the only gate) of the C-shaped fort - this was Shi Kefa, who was standing on a high place, saw the Eight Banners pulling the Hongyi cannon towards Stilwell's headquarters, so he quickly ordered his adopted son to move with his troops and hide next to the platform. If it doesn't work, hide behind the side of the platform and rely on the platform to resist the bombardment of the Hongyi cannon.
"Want to run? It's quite neat...... "He Luohui watched as the large phalanx three or four hundred steps away began to slowly disperse, not in a hurry, but in an orderly manner.
Unlike the model regiment of the New Army, which combined musketeers and pikemen in an infantry battalion, Scofa's standard was to form a battalion-level pure team of musketeers, so they had little ability in hand-to-hand combat, so they were the first to retreat.
The remaining 2,000 people formed eight phalanxes in battalions and slowly retreated. While returning, he shouted: Sage Kong blesses...... Invulnerable!
No matter how you look at it, it's a bit evil!
"Gushan Ezhen, what should we do?" He Luohui was beside a cow and asked at this time.
They're losing out on this battle! Although the soldiers and horses of the Eight Banners did not suffer any losses, the Green Battalion soldiers were miserable, not to mention the loss of 13,200 people, and even Liu Liangzuo had no whereabouts? I don't know if it's dead or if it's caught? If you want to be caught, will you go to be a third minister again - in fact, this guy still has a big life, he fainted on the battlefield, and no one went to make up for it, and he climbed back to the Qing army camp by himself at night......
Just when He Luohui was pondering whether to let the Eight Banners rush forward, one of Duoduo's white-armored personal soldiers, Pegasus, came over and gave an order: "Gushan Ezhen, the prince asked you to gather the green battalion soldiers and escort them to fight the fortress!" โ
Hit the fortress?
He Luo will be stunned, why hasn't he beaten it down yet? Only then did he notice that there were still bursts of shouting, crying, and golden drums on the side of the C-shaped round fort...... And the roar of artillery fire!
Why is there still artillery fire? Who's firing the cannon?
He Luo will know right away!
The only gate of this round fortress opened behind the buttocks, facing the platform of the main city of Qufu. Therefore, it is impossible for the Qing army's Hongyi artillery to be transported in...... The one who is firing the cannon now must be the Ming army!
The Ming army actually placed cannons in this strange fortress, which is too insidious!
The sinister person is Liu Zhaoji, a chief military officer from the Liao Army and relied on by Shi Kefa. He entered the C-shaped fortress with five tiger squat cannons, but he did not use them to defend the city, but placed the tiger squat cannons on the gate tower of the C-shaped fort, and the muzzle of the cannon was rushed inward...... This is fighting until the fortress is lost, and the opponent will be yin again!
And Liu Liangzuo's brother Liu Liangchen happened to crash into Liu Zhaoji's muzzle! Because Duoduo sent the warriors of the True Eight Banners to come up, he could only lead his troops to fight with the Eight Banners.
I don't know if the effect of the real Eight Banners is better, Liu Liangchen personally went into battle This wave of offensive actually rushed to the bottom of the city gate tower in one fell swoop, just when Liu Liangchen was about to kill the city gate tower in one go, the five attack cannons ambushed on the city tower roared at the same time.
Countless iron beads and iron bumps erupted from the muzzle of the cannon, dancing in all directions, forming an iron curtain of death, instantly knocking down a large number of the Eight Banners Han Army and the Green Battalion soldiers who rushed to the front!
