Chapter 425: Collision (Asking for Support, Asking for a Monthly Pass)

Hesitate!

When faced with oncoming women and children, even hard-hearted people will be soft-hearted. In the history books, this kind of battle examples of driving women and children to attack the enemy position are not uncommon, and the barbarians often win with this.

Live or die!

Life and death were just a moment, when the soldiers on the front line couldn't bear to let go of the women and children, when those Qing troops got carried away and thought that the conspiracy had succeeded, they excitedly accelerated their pace, and rushed towards the position of the Ming army under the protection of the women and children's meat shields.

On artillery positions a mile from the front line, the gunners also stopped shelling, and for many years, the Ming often used mortars to carry out intensive artillery bombardment in the face of enemy columns. There is no doubt that the horizontal squad has always been an ideal target for intensive mortar strikes. Because the raining shells can directly hit the enemy's ranks, blasting their ranks to pieces.

Now, when the Qing army used women and children as meat shields to drive them to attack the positions in front, the gunners all set their eyes on the captain.

"Captain, do you want to fight?"

In the face of everyone's inquiries, Zhao Dong, who usually smiled and looked a bit like Maitreya Buddha because of his obesity, snorted, and then said.

"Why don't you fight? If you don't fight, won't you let the brothers die! ”

"But, but ......"

Without waiting for the brothers to finish speaking, Zhao Dong said sharply.

"Nothing, now I order, ten rapid fire!"

Zhao Dong's voice was a little fluttering with excitement, he didn't want to hear the brothers ask if they would fight again. Just again.

"If you don't fight the enemy, the enemy will fight you, and on the battlefield, there is no woman's kindness!"

"Hit!"

Gritting their teeth, the brothers loaded the shells from the muzzle, and in a few seconds, the first shells fell on the enemy's body, and the smoke of gunpowder rose into the air in the cloud of explosions, and the Qing army, which had thought that the plot had succeeded, was immediately swallowed up by the smoke of gunpowder.

……

After nightfall, Jingnan under the sky was pitch black, only the cannonballs that crossed the sky from time to time, dragging orange tracks, whistling in the air, and the next moment, the sound of successive explosions broke the tranquility between heaven and earth.

With a deafening explosion, a cloud of cannon flames lit up the dark sky. Like summer lightning, flashing and flashing, Yue Le, who was riding on a horse, was wearing a puff peater cotton armor, although in front of the fire gun, the padded padded cotton armor was vulnerable, and even had been eliminated a long time ago, but in Yue Le's view, this was his last contact with his ancestors, his father was wearing such armor, defeated the Ming Dynasty, and captured the Central Plains, although he knew that it was impossible to return to the Central Plains, but it did not prevent him from wearing this armor and trying to restore the glory of his ancestors.

His eyes were staring at the front, staring at the camp of the Ming army. Yue Le's breathing seemed a little short.

This should be your last battle!

When Yue Le's breathing became short, behind his front body, hundreds of armor-clad minions were all staring nervously ahead, originally they thought that this day would have to wait for a while, but they never thought that the emperor's will had come down.

The sudden will made the minions who were still struggling immediately busy, although many people fled, but Yue Le still gathered this army of nearly 40,000 horses, and among them, there were as many as five or six hundred people in the clothed minions of Prince An's mansion.

Retracting his gaze from the front, Yue Le's gaze fell on the minions beside him, and then shouted.

"Listen!"

The master's shouts caused the minions to fall to their knees.

"For so many years, this king treats you very well, today is the time when I am the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty to fight to the death, this king is the grandson of Emperor Taizu Aixin Jueluo Nurhachi, the fourth son of Rao Yumin County King Aixin Jueluo Abatai, Prince An of the Great Qing Kingdom, this surrender will never surrender, this king will lead the troops to kill the formation, kill the Ming army a falling flower, if you are all loyal slaves, you will die together with this king!"

As soon as his words fell, the minions kneeling on the ground all kowtowed and shouted loudly.

"The minions are willing to fall into battle with the master, and die together with the master!"

Amidst the shouts of the minions, Yue Le laughed.

"Okay, good, you deserve to be good servants of my Prince An's mansion! This king is really fortunate to have you loyal minions! Go, you and all the others will go to the various teams to supervise the army, and if anyone dares to retreat without permission, you will be the king's military law, and kill the deserters for the king......"

In the loud explosion, in the flash of the explosion, groups of Qing soldiers lined up, staring nervously ahead, most of them had gray beards, and even wrinkled faces, the reason why they chose to fight and not flee was because they knew that the Ming army would never let them go, because they had the blood of the Ming people on their hands.

"Kill the Bright Dog!"

Again, these Qing soldiers who knew they were going to die were shouting wildly, they tried to use the roars of the past to arouse their courage, but when they shouted like this, most of them were full of despair.

Despair!

After the desperate roar of the Qing soldiers, the drums sounded, and although it was twilight, they still stepped on the drums and marched forward. To a certain extent, the Qing army was the best student of the Ming army, and after they suffered losses in firearms, they quickly learned to use firearms, and learned the tactics and tactics of the Ming army. Because of this, on the road to the west, they can defeat the natives again and again with weapons and tactics that are ahead of the times.

In the twilight, when they lined up to attack in a horizontal formation, at the front of the line, there were shield carts, compared to the past, the heavy shield carts required four people to push, although it seemed to be bulky, but on the battlefield, it could give protection to those Qing troops who attacked in horizontal formations.

In the twilight of the night, the shield carts of nearly human height lined up in a neat queue and marched forward, the speed was not fast or slow, like a black city wall, moving slowly, and the Qing army with guns formed a horizontal line under the protection of the shield carts, slowly marching. Once upon a time, the shield cart that was eliminated by the cannon has been resurrected again in the past twenty years, but it is only to resist the guns of the Ming army.

"Putting ......"

Li Mingming, who was standing in the trench, couldn't stop sweating in his nervous palms, and with the captain's order, he immediately pulled the trigger, and at the same time as the gun mouth erupted flames, he felt the impact of the gun to his shoulder.

Did you hit the enemy?

He didn't know that after pulling the trigger, he just stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do?

"Reload, Reload......"

Zhao Peng shouted at him, shouted for a long time, and saw that he still didn't react, so he slapped him in the face. Li Mingming, who was dizzy and dizzy, only then did he react, and he looked at Zhao Peng with doubts in his eyes.

"Reload, hurry up and reload......"

"Oh, oh......"

Li Mingming, who was awakened, began to reload, when he was loading, he looked up and looked ahead, he saw the moving city wall, like a city wall in the twilight, approaching them, the gun hit the "city wall" and made a metal impact sound, the shield of the shield car is made of iron plates and a ruler-thick bamboo tube, extremely thick, at least outside the hundred fathoms, it is impossible for the gun to penetrate the shield car shield.

The sound of the gun hitting the shield cart could not stop the Qing army, although the occasional bombardment of the field artillery smashed the shield cart, but at most it only caused a gap in the moving city wall.

"What the hell, what the hell is Jiannu using......

Wang Yuan scolded and scolded, but he didn't dare to stop in his hand, although the gun seemed to be useless on the shield cart, but no one dared to stop shooting, after all, on the battlefield, stopping shooting means death.

"Shield car, shield car, people have touched it before, didn't it say that it could be pierced with a firecracker, how did it look like it was fine......

When the brothers in the trenches became a little nervous because of the appearance of the shield cart, the gunners were already busy on the mortar positions in the rear, although they could not see the Qing troops behind the shield cart, but they still dumped shells one after another on the rear of the shield cart, and the shells that fell from the overhead, even if they did not fall into the ranks, the shrapnel that exploded during the explosion could still kill many people.

Although the mortars of the curved fire hit the Qing army hard, but under the protection of the shield car, the Qing army was getting closer and closer to the Ming army, in the smoke of gunpowder, in the twilight, the soldiers finally saw the appearance of the shield car clearly, although the shield plate was already full of holes, but the Qing army still pushed them, continue to advance.

"Release, Release......"

Even the calmest officer would have panicked at the approaching shield carts, which seemed unable to penetrate the shield carts, let alone stop their approach.

Faced with the advancing shield carts, the warriors had no better way than to shoot with their guns.

"What's going on?"

When the soldiers were cursing in the trenches, they didn't know that as the distance approached, the guns could already penetrate the shield cart, but whenever the shield hand behind the shield cart was hit by the gun, the fire gun behind him would take his place and continue to push the shield cart forward, although the mortar shells of the Ming army fell in their ranks from time to time, they still tried their best to maintain the queue, these Qing soldiers knew very well that as long as they got closer, they would be enough to kill the Ming army's position and kill these Ming dogs, At the very least, you can hit these swaggering Ming dogs hard......

This kind of shield car with two layers of iron plates is bulky, and it is precisely because of its bulkiness that in the past, they rarely used this equipment, but in the face of the Ming army equipped with a large number of rifled guns, Yue Le will order to take out the shield cars in the warehouse, in order to use the shield car to offset the Ming army's rifled gun long-range advantage, his plan is undoubtedly successful, under the protection of the shield car, the Qing army successfully approached the distance of less than 20 zhang from the Ming army, and the casualties they paid in the process of attack were extremely limited.

Just as the shield chariot soldiers pushed the shield cart and wanted to move on, suddenly, a violent explosion rose from their feet, and in the smoke of the explosion, the seemingly solid shield cart was blown into the sky, and the mines laid in front of the position, although not dense, successfully tore apart the moving city wall, exposing the Qing troops behind them.

"Putting ......"

The Ming army seized the opportunity, immediately aimed at the Qing army for the first time, and at this distance, the Qing army's guns can also bring a threat to the Ming army, although the Ming army has trenches as cover, but the Qing army can also rely on the remaining shield vehicles as cover, for a time on the battlefield guns flew sideways, the artillery on both sides was unceremoniously bombarded each other, trying to help their infantry destroy the enemy in front of them.

When the distance between the two armies was less than 20 zhang, the battle showed a white-hot situation, and the two sides constantly aimed at each other with firearms, and while trying to kill each other, they were constantly approaching, since it was a mine in their feet and a barbed wire fence in front of them, they could not stop them.

Although it was late at night, the flash of light when the shells exploded still showed the killing on the battlefield directly in front of everyone's eyes. The dull sound of guns mingled with the rumbling of cannons, and more often with the desperate roars of the people, which intertwined into a strange symphony of hell.

In the symphony of death, when the Qing army at the forefront found that they were blocked by barbed wire, they desperately chopped the barbed wire with their broadswords, trying to cut them off, and rushed to the position of the Ming army, while the Ming army behind the trenches aimed at them with firearms, and in the dull sound of guns, they fell down, hung upside down on the barbed wire, in the smoke of gunpowder, with their bodies and gunsmoke, and the sound of guns and cannons together into a picture of hell, and the song of hell was played between heaven and earth, It's a hymn of cannons and shouts of despair.

Without flinching or cowardice, more than 40,000 Qing troops, under the command of Yue Le, launched a charge against the Ming position. Unlike in the past, the battle began to heat up. These Qing troops, who knew that they were going to die, although they knew that they were at a disadvantage, still charged and attacked desperately. There was only one thought left in their minds - attack!

Perhaps it was because of desperation that no one thought of retreating. They fought in the most primitive and fierce way, and finally, in the impact after impact, the mines and barbed wire were broken away and flattened by the Qing army's body.

"Bayonet ......"

Before Li Ming could even react, he saw a figure jump out of the trench, and at the moment when the Qing army rushed through the barbed wire, an officer had already rushed out with a saber in his hand,

"Brothers, follow me ......"

The officer shouted, brandished his saber, and slashed at the enemy who rushed towards him, and behind him, more warriors had already rushed out of the trench with bayonets, bayonet charge was the best tactic of the Ming army, and now they had to use bayonets to squeeze the enemy out.

The Qing army, which was the first to rush into the position of the Ming army, immediately scuffled with the Ming army, and the two sides fought each other with bayonets and collided......
