Chapter 251: Assault of the whole army
The long-range strikes of the Qing army began.
In the middle of the formation, more than 300 archers marched out of the ranks, and under the guidance of a Niu Lu Ezhen's long knife, they quickly lined up at the front, calmly bending their bows and arrows, and their movements were skillful and uniform......
Behind them, the sword-bearers, fire-gunners, and pikemen, all expressionless, quietly waited for a good show to begin......
Only five arrows per person!
After five rounds of arrow rain, the wails of the thousand Ming troops on the opposite side will be heard, and at that time, it will be their turn to cut off people's heads.
These Han Qing soldiers, all of them are veterans, all of them have experienced a hundred battles, and they have killed countless "enemies".
Most of them, since following Shang Kexi from Shanhaiguan to the south, killing all the way to Guangdong, their iron hooves have stepped on the entire land of Shenzhou, and each of them has the blood of countless compatriots in the Guannei on their hands.
The "enemy" in their mouths is actually the vast majority of unarmed Han people.
Among the heads cut off by them, less than 10% of the real Ming soldiers were killed, and less than 20% of the civilians were killed for resisting.
They have experienced the massacre so many times that they no longer feel guilty, perhaps, without a ripple in their hearts......
No matter how bloody the scene is, after seeing it too much, it will be numb.
They have even long been accustomed to the cries of the southern barbarians, and the cries and wails of the southern women......
The leaders were busy grabbing the territory, and their small soldiers were busy fighting for heads, money, and women......
These are troubled times! This is war!
The winner, the prince, the loser!
Every man is his master, and it is only right that he kills or is killed!
Each of them knew very well in their hearts that the next moment, the Ming army in front of them would collapse immediately, and what was waiting for them would be another painful massacre.
Then, there was another scene of noisy shouting, and everyone, with the head pinned to the waistband of his trousers, went to the officer in exchange for white silver.
Tonight, in Gaoyao City, the streets and alleys will be full of drunkards who are staggering around, and the major kilns should be overcrowded......
At the thought of this, each of them was full of blood, and everyone was silently thinking, "Run faster, faster, or else, the heads will be robbed by those hateful cavalrymen......
However, none of the more than 4,000 Qing soldiers who were eager to try, including Wang Guodong, thought that today, it would be different!
What happened next made Wang Guodong unable to look at him until he died!
……
The three hundred archers, as soon as they put the arrow on the string, heard a burst of noise in front of them, and suddenly, dozens of Qing soldiers fell head-on, and the longbows in their hands flew around......
I saw that in the Ming army's formation, dozens of musketeers flashed out from behind the shield hand, and the fire gun in his hand was a row of point shots.
There was almost no interval, and immediately after, there was another volley on the side of the Ming army, this time the firepower was even more fierce, it was a burst, and in the blink of an eye, more than 100 Qing troops were shot......
Then, as some of the shieldmen quickly dodged away, behind them, the muzzle of a black hole was revealed......
It's too close to slaughter!
In the middle of the Chinese army, Wang Guodong, who was sitting on horseback, heard the sound of gunshots, his heart chuckled, and his whole body was cold from head to toe, and his shock was indescribable.
"It's over, it's over!"
That was his first thought, and in that moment, he understood that he had been fooled.
"Quick! Drumming! Charge the whole army! Death for ......"
The next moment, he raised the Ring Leader knife and shouted.
is worthy of being a veteran of the battle formation, the reaction is fast enough, at this moment, turning around and running away, it is a death, rushing up, relying on the numerical advantage to fight for his life, maybe there is a chance of victory.
However, before he could say his last word, a string of machine-gun bullets came straight in......
"Dangchang!"
The long knife fell to the ground, and before he could reach out to cover the blood holes in his chest, Wang Guodong fell off the horse's back half-flying and half-pounced, a pair of unwilling eyes, which were clearly bigger than copper bells, but in front of him, it was already dark......
This string of bullets was fired from the mountain, and Xia Bomin's firing order was issued almost simultaneously.
When the time is ripe, fire on all cylinders! No need to install it anymore!
With his loud shout, the roar of a machine gun beside him started, and a string of bullets with tracer flew directly towards Wang Guodong in the Chinese army array......
Several machine guns that were lying in ambush on the hills immediately spewed out tongues of fire in the grass everywhere......
The main target of these machine guns was the cavalry gathered on both flanks of the river.
Seven or eight condescending machine gun firepower enveloped the two teams of elite cavalry in an instant, and dozens of war horses were shot and fell to the ground in a blink of an eye......
For a while, the frightened war horses neighed and wailed, and some jumped up to the sky and neighed; Some scurried around and bumped into each other; Some simply jumped on the spot and threw their owners off their horses; Occasionally, there are those who successfully break out of the chaos, and they don't run far before they get a shuttle......
On the river beach, the slaughter of the infantry lasted a short time.
With such a dense formation of foot soldiers, under the automatic firearm strafing of the soldiers of the two platoons, the people in the front team did not even have a chance to turn around and escape, so they fell down one after another, and before one magazine was finished, the person who was shot lay on the ground.
Only the soldiers in the rear army had time to react in fright, and some soldiers threw down their knives and guns, turned around and ran away with a shout.
However, no matter how fast they run, how fast are bullets, most of them only live a short time longer than their companions.
Dozens of fighters, who had changed their magazines, began the pursuit while shooting.
Wang Xing saw all this in his eyes, and his whole body trembled with excitement.
It turns out that killing people can be so simple!
I've never seen this kind of battle before!
How powerful is this firebolt?
In comparison, the hand-to-hand combat of the previous knife is too ......
As soon as he saw Xia Bomin's men start to pursue, Wang Xing, who was immersed in excitement, immediately reacted, tightened the reins of his horse, raised the spear in his hand and shouted: "Brothers, rush!" Kill! ”
Before the words fell, he took the lead, and couldn't wait to jump out of his horse, and behind him, dozens of personal soldiers followed closely.
"Kill!" "Kill!"
The veterans in the Ming army also reacted quickly enough, knowing that the other party had lost their fighting spirit, and when they saw that Wang Xing had rushed out, they immediately held their spears and wielded machetes, crossed the corpses on the ground, and ran forward with a shout......
The recruits also followed, although they were so nervous that they even shouted to kill, but they were not stupid, and the time for meritorious service had come!
When a soldier eats food, sooner or later he has to kill someone, so when will he not kill at this time?
……
It's a real wave!
Compared with the previous ambush of Kong Youde, there were only a few thousand people, which was really not enough to kill, and it took about a cigarette to fight, and the battle was nearing the end.
There were several Qing troops, and they finally crawled to the river, but before they could get on the boat, they were blocked by a rain of machine gun bullets.
Now that you're on the shore, don't go back.
When a few unwilling ones were swept down by the rain of bullets and fell to the side of the boat, the rest of the remnants of the Qing army no longer had the courage to defy the law, and immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and begged for mercy in a sad voice......
Those recruits of the Ming army, except for a few clever ones, most of them chased all the way to the river, but they were empty-handed, and they didn't cut a single head, so they just ran forward shouting, forgetting to kill!
A few of the worst ones, rushing all the way, couldn't stand this bloody scene for a long time, not only did they not kill anyone, but they didn't even bother to catch the prisoners, they squatted by the river and vomited again and again......
