Chapter 800: The Huangpu River Shines in the Sky (8)
"I'm the Southern Central Army! Mighty! ”
"I'm the Southern Yue Army! Mighty! ”
"I'm Hongwu Army! Mighty! ”
"My lord! Wansheng! ”
Seeing Li Huabao riding his horse in the Qing army and his own team to rush to the battle, the Qing army shot hundreds of firearms, Li Huabao and his cavalry squad were not damaged in the slightest, and they could not help but thunder with joy, and some people chanted slogans, shouting out the military trumpets of the Hongwu Army in the past dynasties, resounding throughout the battlefield.
Countless hands raised and fell the fire gun in their hands, hitting the ground with the gun butt, or waving their hands vigorously, and in an instant, the morale of the Hongwu Army rushed to a peak.
The few openings in the wall were made up of the young men with the armbands of the volunteers on their left arms, and they could be regarded as people who had experienced the battle formation with the Hongwu Army, so they were given not very important tasks such as guarding the gaps, carrying ammunition, and transporting the wounded. Seeing such a scene, they were also fascinated and fascinated.
"The Holy Son of Heaven will help you, and the two generals will be protected by the gods!"
Suddenly, someone shouted from nowhere, causing these volunteers to follow suit.
Gradually, the Hongwu officers and soldiers present and the officials, people, gentry and businessmen of the business area shouted one after another.
"Who made this up? Even if you want to be a person from the dragon and make a contribution to supporting it, you can't help but be a little too anxious! Faintly at the back of the battlefield he heard a roar in the distance, and Yue Le couldn't help but show a sneer.
Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles. This is the most basic principle of leading troops to fight. As long as they have a little brain, they pay great attention to collecting all kinds of information about the enemy, and analyze and understand the opponent's strength and intentions. What's more, the Qing army, which has been very good at using espionage, internal response and other means since the beginning of the army? Of course, there are also better troops. For example, the army of a certain party. It was actually able to use the tank, a heavy weapon with both mobility and firepower, to attack the mountainous fortifications, and to be able to face the Japanese army of a brigade and regiment to disarm his two Soviet armies, and then publicize that he had won a great victory at such and such a pass. Since it was a great victory, why did you remove a bunch of people from their positions? The same fight, and there is. For example, it is a certain mountain in the counterattack of western Yunnan. He actually ran headlong without reconnaissance, and also faced more than 1,000 Japanese troops and a small number of comfort women, and disabled several of his own divisions.
It's normal for a person to be stupid once, but it's rare to be stupid all the time, to be stupid in one thing. Do they have a virus in their heads? Non-stop copy-paste?!
As a young talent among the Manchurian nobles of the Eight Banners, Yue Le naturally knew about the undercurrents within the Hongwu Army, such as the fact that everyone was bent on making Li Shouhan take another step higher. This kind of thinking, with the passage of the war, gradually has more and more supporters in the current Ming Dynasty and the opposition. Changing the dynasty and supporting a new monarch is something that can be a hundred times more profitable.
What he can do is to find a way to make this voice and tendency stronger and stronger, so that this force will become stronger and stronger, and then cause the current internal strife and struggle between the royalist party and the Conglong faction and the Nanzhong faction in the Southern Ming court, just like the struggle between the eunuch party and the Qichu Zhejiang Party and the Donglin party in the Ming court.
However, Manchurian nobles like Yue Le, who have all-round development of military and political ability, and whose ability index is so strong that they almost cost Kang Mazi his life, are a minority after all. Even if he is himself, he is also a third-in-command standing aside in the Qing army at this moment. You can only stand guard in the corners and corners.
The shouts of the Hongwu army were even more powerful than their cannons. The Qing army's front wavered slightly. This subtle sight was immediately caught in the eyes of Luckdehun, "I can't go on like this!" In this way, this group of barbarians who have just surrendered can't say that something will happen! ”
In Luckdehun's opinion, since this group of guys were able to shave their hair and keep braids yesterday and serve the Qing Dynasty, they might also turn their heads and turn their guns to Li Shouhan for their lives. What they want is a high-ranking official, and at this point, Li Shouhan has a lot more chips in his hand than Dolgon in Beijing. Besides, surrender is like a bitch selling herself, and with the first time, it will be very smooth and even natural after that.
For example, everyone knows about the famous meeting of the Koo family on Treasure Island, but "more than 100 years have passed, who still remembers the family that once welcomed the imperial army to land in Taiwan, accepted the official position given by the imperial army, and organized a militia with 2,000 rifles given by the imperial army to help the imperial army quickly quell the rebellion on the island and maintain law and order?" "More than 70 years have passed, who still remembers that the principal just arrived at the revival base in shock, and took the initiative to donate all his land to the government, cooperate with the government to carry out land reform, realize the ideal of the former prime minister's cultivator having his own land, help the principal to stabilize the situation of the base, and extinguish the family that the traitorous party incited the peasants to rebel and delusional?" Why do people only remember the meeting in Singapore, but forget the great legacy of this family in history?
"Herald! Heavy armor soldiers go up to supervise the battle! Let the strikers strike! Since Li Ermanzi called for battle, then the king will fulfill him! Luckedhun's face was dark, like the bottom of a pot.
The heavily armored soldiers in Luckdhun's mouth were not his Bayala soldiers, but those armored men. Most of these armor people are the tribes of the Northeast people, and the ethnic groups are diverse, mostly the Oroqen people, Xibe people, Evenki people, Sauron people, Daur people, Hezhe people, Kuyi people, etc., which are what we call the Sauron tribes, in the official documents of the Ming Dynasty they are called the female direct tribes, note that it is "straight", not a typo. The Eight Banners Manchuria called them the Savage Jurchens.
Because the culture and technology of these tribes are very primitive, and the living environment is even harsher than that of the Jurchen tribes, they naturally have strong combat effectiveness in addition to fighting the heavens and the earth. Elephants die of their tusks, rhinos die of horns. It is for this reason that they became the main targets of cannon fodder in the Qing army. From Guanwai to the Qianlong Jiaqing period, they were an important part of the combat effectiveness of the Qing army's Eight Banners system. Until the Xianfeng period, the so-called cattle fighting Ula soldiers were still famous. During this period, there was also a famous executioner who suppressed the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and suppressed the uprising of ethnic minorities in the northwest. He is the Daur. According to historical records, a few days after he arrived in Xi'an, the ethnic minority rebel troops who were originally besieging Xi'an City were bloodily suppressed by him. He and the third fat man on the left are both executioners whose hands are stained with the blood of ethnic minorities in the northwest!
As soon as the order was given, the Qing troops in all battalions and towns began to mobilize slowly, lining up in a dense formation in front of the formation. In front of them were the archers and musketeers of each battalion, and after several battles, the generals of the Green Banner soldiers gradually found some ways. They concentrated the archers and musketeers in front and launched a confrontation with the Hongwu army, and the sword and shield soldiers and pikemen in the covering troops went up to mix with the Hongwu army, and started hand-to-hand combat and melee. The Hongwu army is proficient in firearms, good at forming formations and stabbing stabs, and is shorter than others in fighting for themselves, which has gradually become the consensus among the Qing army.
Attack the enemy's shortcomings with your own strengths. The generals of the Qing army all thought so.
In the Qing army array, the black pressure pressure banner came layer by layer. Behind the dense archers and musketeers in front of them, there were layers of spears like firewood and reeds, and the dense banners of various colors in the procession.
Behind these tens of thousands of forwards, there are more than 1,000 Qing soldiers wearing heavy armor with multiple layers of heavy armor, most of these people are wearing double armor, and many of them are wearing a Nanzhong cuirass on top of the inlaid iron cotton armor and iron armor. The horses on their bodies and crotch were hung with horned bows and arrows, and each of them was armed with a spear or a tiger spear.
They were the overseers who imprisoned the Qing army's charges, and at the same time, they also acted as blades to shock when necessary.
"Catch up!"
The trumpets sounded in the Hongwu Army's formation, and the troops of battalion after battalion began to move forward. Compared with the gritted teeth of the Qing army, although the Hongwu army is serious, but the expression of each soldier is quite relaxed, they carry the fire gun on their shoulders and move forward slowly, as if they are not in the battlefield of life and death in the flesh and blood, but walking in their own fields, and some veterans even have a smile on the corner of their mouths.
The queues of the two sides are getting closer and closer, and in the rumbling footsteps, the armor and weapons of the Qing army, the fluttering red tassels, and even the twisted and hideous expressions on the faces of the soldiers and officers can be seen clearly.
"Stop!"
The Chinese military drum stopped, and it was less than two hundred paces away from the Qing army. The officers gave orders, and the neat footsteps of the Hongwu army stopped.
"Soldier, check the gunpowder!"
As early as the time of the formation, the soldiers had already loaded their fixed cartridge ammunition. At this time, amid the shouts of the officers one after another, the soldiers took off the caps of their guns and carefully checked the medicine of their guns again.
"Check the flint!"
"Prepare for the front row, get ready to shoot!"
There was a loud bang, thousands of fire guns were raised, and on the array that lasted for several miles, the soldiers in the front row were all aiming the guns of the black hole at the Qing soldiers who came in front.
"Three-pounder guns of each battalion, come forward!"
The Qing array on the opposite side was still slowly advancing, and their formation was roughly divided into four rows, with the archers and musketeers at the front. Behind them, pikemen. The pikemen were armed with spears several meters long, their faces as fierce as those of menacing, and the spears on their shoulders were like fire. After waiting for the archers and musketeers in front to shoot at the Hongwu army, they rushed forward and scattered the Hongwu army. Make a way for the sword and shield soldiers and heavy armor soldiers behind.
Looking down from the air, the heads of the black pressure on both sides are getting closer and closer. One hundred and fifty paces, the Qing soldiers, who also formed a wide frontal formation, were still striding forward. It can already be seen that the Hongwu army on the opposite side is strong and equipped with cuirasses. In this way, with the power of their bows and arrows, they had to go within fifty paces before they could be fatal to the enemy.
Soon it was nearly a hundred paces, and the artillery of the Hongwu Army on the opposite side had not yet fired, which surprised these Qing soldiers a little, and in the impression of these people, at this distance, the artillery of the Hongwu Army had already begun to speak.
However, the Hongwu Army did not disappoint them. A series of sharp whistles sounded, and a group of five or six gunners, hundreds of three-pounder cannons appeared in front of the Qing army from behind the Hongwu army's array, and almost instantly, these guns that had been carried out were put into line.
Before the Qing soldiers could react, the gunners had already pushed the medicine bag and shells into the chamber with a push rod, and someone pulled the fire rope fiercely on the side and back of the gun position, and the flintlock machine tapped, and a three-pound shell rushed to the Qing army column with great joy and enthusiasm. In front of and behind it, to the left and right, hundreds of three-pounder shells came in a dense manner.
The sound of the three-pounder cannon was the order to shoot the gun, and when the Qing army on the opposite side was suddenly baptized by a round of shells and was in a daze and panicked, the gunfire of the Hongwu army began to speak.
The first column of guns had just finished firing, and the sound of guns had not yet subsided, and the gunners of the three-pounder guns had completed the process of clearing and loading, and pulled the arquebuses again.
Immediately afterward, a second column of firebolts rushed into the killing field.
With two rounds of artillery bombardment and two volleys of firearms, the Qing army was originally murderous, and the dense layers of military formations had long since become a formation. The shells of the three-pounder cannon fired horizontally, and the ballistics penetrated the entire military formation in an almost straight line in the military formation, and a bloody alley was broken out in a rampage, and most of the bloody and brave spirit of the Qing soldiers was wiped out.
Before the third column of musketeers stepped forward, the formation of the Qing army had collapsed.
The front of the Hongwu army slowly moved forward again, and they wanted to put appropriate pressure on the Qing army, so that these defeated Qing troops could attack their own position, and then cause chaos and even defeat of the entire Qing army.
"The brute moves! Fast! Let our heavy armor rush forward! Take Li Huabao directly! ”
Under the banner of the weaving golden dragon and the handsome, Luck De didn't care about the Qing soldiers who were rushing and retreating like a tide, and he only saw Li Huabao in the back of the Hongwu army array. As long as the heavy armor soldiers rushed up and went straight to Li Huabao, then, the front of the Hongwu army was bound to be chaotic, and he could wave the Qing army behind to cover it.
The horn sounded, the flag grinded, and the heavy armored soldiers who were supervising the battle behind the Green Banner army immediately began to jump on their horses and calmly put themselves in order. The convergence of the formation, the collection of a cow and a cow, formed a wedge-shaped battle array suitable for cavalry combat. First they jogged, then they increased their horses at full speed, and more than a thousand cavalrymen swept over like a hurricane in their black helmets and red tassels, and their iron hooves were churning. The horse's hooves are churning, the hooves are like thunder, although the number of people is small, the momentum is not small.
No matter how many defeated soldiers of your own family are in front of you, you can just let go of the reins and rush over!
No matter how many artillery guns were firing at his horse team in front of him, he turned a blind eye and just pounced towards Li Huabao's handsome banner!
"Herald! As long as Li Huabao's handsome flag moves, the whole army will immediately press up! Tonight, the king will hold a banquet in the business area to celebrate! Luckard's palms were sweaty as he held the reins. He is also very strange, from Liaodong to Jiangnan, he has experienced many large and small wars, but he has never been like today.
"Lord Wang, our patrol horse has brought a person over, please come over and have a look." Yue Le's henchman and slave whispered in his ear.
"Who?"
"He said that he had committed a great sin and did not dare to mention his name, so he asked his master to come and see it."
That man is the commander of the Qing army's sailors, Eheri!
Seeing Ehri who was covered in muddy water, kneeling in the mud, his clothes were in tatters, and his wounds were oozing blood from several times, Yue Le's heart sank violently, and he secretly screamed, "Not good!" ”
Really!
"Master! Slaves are guilty! The fleet of sailors of the Qing Dynasty was ambushed by Li Huamei's scarlet-winged tiger outside the mouth of Wusong! Annihilated! The slave dared to flee back, told his master everything, and then asked his master to give him death! ”
"Get up and speak! What the hell is going on? You also reported the day before yesterday that everything was going well, and Li Huamei fled along the river, how did you become like this in a blink of an eye? ”
"Master, the slave fell for Li Huamei's trick, and she deceived and lured the slave to lead the fleet to pursue. The slave didn't notice it for a while, and he also wanted to make meritorious contributions to his master, so he chased all the way. But he forgot that in the slave fleet, there are fast and slow ships. When she arrived at Wusongkou, Li Huamei blocked Haikou with gunboats, and the shells rained back and forth, and then burned them with rockets. The preset artillery teams on both sides of Wusongkou opened fire and attacked the slave flotilla on three sides. The minions didn't have good knowledge, so they wanted to retreat, but the fleet behind them went down the river, coming all the way, crowded in Haikou, where could they withdraw for a while? Li Huamei, the ruthless woman, saw that my Qing Dynasty fleet was gathered in one place, so she ordered all the batteries and gunboats to shoot rockets, and the slave fleet was all burned. If it weren't for the minion's subordinate Alin Bao seeing the opportunity quickly and leading someone to grab the minion ashore, I'm afraid that the minions wouldn't be able to ask the master for guilt here. ”
"You're the only one who escaped?" Yue Le, like the generals of the Eight Banners, was familiar with the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and he knew what the fire attack meant to the thousands of ships and ships large and small gathered in one place. However, he was not reconciled, thousands of elite Eight Banners, and more than 10,000 sailors were all burned.
"Originally, there were a lot of people who fled ashore, but Li Huamei ordered the naval division and land battalion to go ashore, and there were teams of villagers who went back and forth to chase and kill, and most of our soldiers were arrested. It's the slave himself, and he was almost caught several times, if it weren't for the heart that wanted to come back and ask the master to punish the crime, the slave wouldn't want to live for a long time! ”
Ehri howled and cried, and behind him, the remnants of the Qing army's naval division, which numbered less than 100 people, were defeated, and they were all embarrassed. These words, true and false, made Yue Le difficult to deal with him.
"Master, I also want to ask the master to report to the general quickly, the slave can see clearly on the road, Li Huamei has cleaned up the battlefield of Wusongkou, and the main force of the fleet has turned around and marched westward to Shanghai! If this tigress is killed, I'm afraid that the battle here will be even more difficult! ”
Ehri choked up and reminded Yue Le that Li Huabao's reinforcements were about to come back. The offensive posture of the Qing army was facing the danger of a land and water attack.
"One Li Huabao has already annoyed the general, and now that a scarlet-winged tiger has been killed, the battle in Shanghai is becoming more and more difficult to fight."
Yue Le looked at the more than 1,000 heavy armor that were vaguely rushing towards the Hongwu Army's main formation, and prayed silently in his heart, hoping that they could succeed.
However, he didn't know, all the generals of the Qing army didn't know, here in Shanghai, there was not only a tigress!
