Chapter 276: Kill, Kill, Kill! (First update!) )
Upon learning that the army of Duoduo had begun to attack Texas, Luckedhun also ordered an attack on Linqingzhou.
It's just that he also has the problem of forts and trenches.
The use of 10,000 enemies caused heavy losses to the Qing army.
However, compared with the pure Manchurian Eight Banners Army led by Duoduo, this motley army led by Luckdehun is obviously more dead.
Not to mention, aren't these green battalions just used to fill trenches and make cannon fodder?
As soon as Luck Dehun gave the order, the Green Battalion Army was forced to the forefront and rushed into battle.
Behind them was the military law team composed of the Eight Banners of the Han Army.
If any of the Green Battalion soldiers dared to flee, they would not hesitate to swing their swords and cut off the heads of the deserters.
It has to be said that this tactic worked wonders.
Although the soldiers of the Green Battalion suffered heavy losses, the Qing army was able to consume a large number of 10,000 enemies of the Ming army and advanced a considerable distance.
Just when they thought they could launch a frontal assault on the bastion, something unexpected happened.
The Ming soldiers, hidden in the trenches on both sides, suddenly jumped out and raised their guns to launch a merciless salvo at the Qing army.
The Qing army was shot down unprepared, and the wounded soldiers rolled in pain.
Under the command of the Qing generals, they tried to make a counterattack.
But the low breastwork built by the Ming army in front of the trenches served as a good cover.
These breastworks were not as tall as a man, but they were effective against the firing of firearms.
The Ming soldiers could put their firearms on the buttresses of the breastwork and shoot without pressure.
This was an unequal war, the Qing soldiers could not beat the Ming soldiers, but the Ming soldiers could shoot at the Qing soldiers from all positions and angles.
The Qing army's hard-managed offensive was once again suppressed.
Luck Dehun saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.
How is this not like what Shi Tingzhu said, the Ming army will be defeated like a mountain?
Why did he feel that the Ming army was well prepared and waiting for them to attack?
And Duoduo has obviously launched a fierce attack on Texas, why didn't he contain the Ming army in Linqing?
Could it be that the number of troops is very sufficient, and it is completely capable of dealing with multiple fronts at the same time?
Luckedhun's mind was a mess.
Seeing that Luck Dehun was hesitant, Shi Tingzhu was a little anxious.
He suggested, "Lord Belle, the minions suggest that we do our best to break through a gap and go straight to Linqing City. ”
After all, Shi Tingzhu was a man who had been in battle for a long time, and he saw that the purpose of the Ming army was to block or slow down the advance of the Qing army through fortresses and trenches, so he proposed a countermeasure of concentrating troops to break through.
The breakthrough is naturally a trench.
It was enough to fill in a trench and the Qing army broke through.
Compared to attacking the fortress, the cost of filling the trench was obviously much smaller.
Lucketthun was already a master of the six gods, and when he heard Shi Tingzhu's advice, he immediately nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do as you say." But where should I choose to break through? ”
Shi Tingzhu nodded in the direction of the south: "Just rush here." Rush over at all costs, and you won't be able to see Linqing City far away. ”
"Good, good, good!"
Lucked said hello three times in a row, and said loudly: "Ben Belle personally cheered for the soldiers. ”
After all, he actually snatched the drumstick from a soldier and beat the drum.
Seeing this, Shi Tingzhu also glanced at the trumpeter, and the low sound of the conch horn sounded again.
"Woo woo, woo woo, woo woo ......"
Under the command of Qi Yu, the soldiers of the Green Battalion rushed towards a trench due south.
Because of their mental preparation this time, the soldiers of the Green Battalion Army raised the wooden shield high as they attacked.
The Ming soldiers who were hiding behind the breastwork and shooting did not panic at all, and skillfully completed the actions of shooting, loading, and shooting again.
The protective effect of ordinary wooden shields is very average, and lead bullets can easily penetrate the wooden shields and then shoot into the bodies of the Green Battalion soldiers.
Lead swirls into their muscles, causing heart-rending pain.
These Green Battalion soldiers who were not shot will not die immediately, they will endure pain for a long time.
And the soldiers who rushed from behind turned a blind eye to the suffering of their comrades.
They rushed forward with expressionless faces, not even daring to turn back.
Because they knew that behind them was a Han Army Banner military law team armed with steel knives, and anyone who tried to escape would be divided into capital punishment.
Since there is no doubt that they will die if they retreat, and there is still a chance to rush forward, of course they will choose to sacrifice their lives.
Occasionally, the Ming soldiers in the trenches would throw one or two 10,000 enemies over the breastwork, killing and wounding the Qing army. However, it was clear that the reserves of 10,000 enemies in the trenches were not sufficient, and most of the time the Ming soldiers still had to rely on firearms to shoot.
Although they could complete the fire suppression for a considerable part of the time, the number of Qing troops was too large, and if one fell, another would immediately fill the gap.
This almost crazy fighting style made the Ming army in the trenches a little overwhelmed for a while.
"Rush over, the first one to rush through the trench will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver!"
Seeing that the soldiers of the Green Battalion had rushed to a distance of thirty steps from the breastwork, a Niu Lu Zhangjing shouted loudly.
There will be brave men under the reward, and someone will fill this trench.
After the trenches, the general of the Ming army, Yu Nan, had already realized the purpose of the Qing army, but unfortunately it was too late to ask for help from the robe in the fortress.
He gritted his teeth and ordered the soldiers beside him, "Tung oil, it's all fucking poured on it." ”
"Mr. Yu, you are ......"
The soldier asked, puzzled.
"The Tartars will rush over in a while, and it is impossible for us to defend it with a hundred or so people. Instead of letting the Tartars rush over, let's set a fire and burn him clean. ”
Yu Nan's voice was full of sadness, and there was a posture of being sluggish and cold, and the strong man would never return.
The soldier obviously understood what Yu Nan meant, gritted his teeth and said, "Master, you said, when are we going to set this fire?" ”
Yu Nan sneered: "Don't worry, it's not too late to wait until the tartar rushes over the chest wall, splash the tung oil first, and then it will be a matter of igniting the fire and throwing it away." Before that, we must clean every shot of lead, and we must not leave a shot at the Tartars! ”
After that, Yu Nan took the lead and jumped behind the breastwork, picked up the fire and put it on the battlement, loaded the ammunition, and ignited the primer......
"Kill the Tartars, kill one to earn one, kill two to earn a pair!"
"Kill the Tartars, kill the Tartars!"
With a bang, the Qing soldiers fell like scarecrows.
But more Green Battalion soldiers rushed to the breastwork.
The breastwall is not high and is only used as a bunker.
More and more frenzied Qing soldiers easily climbed over the breastwork and rushed towards the trench ten paces away.
"It's now!"
Yu Nan roared angrily and threw the ignited fire into the trench, and the rest of the soldiers did the same.
For a time, a raging fire broke out in the trenches, and the only dozens of 10,000 enemies were also ignited one after another, making a deafening explosion sound.
