Chapter 315: Dead Tartar, You Can't Run! Two more
A cannon rang out, and countless Ming troops appeared in front of the Tartars, forming a solid defensive line, cutting off their retreat, and a row of black holes of guns aimed at them.
"Dead Tartars, you can't run!"
These Eight Banners Army are running forward, and they are a little dumbfounded when they see this scene, there are still ambushes of the Ming army here? How could there be an ambush of the Ming army?
"Rush me, rush over!" Dodor had now woken up from his coma, and the grim situation in front of him forced him to continue to carry his sword and direct the battle.
Don't look at Duoduo who was seriously injured, but his brain was very clear, and a broken intestine was not fatal, he persevered with superhuman perseverance.
He was very clear about the situation in front of him, not to mention that the third charge had lost again, and he had already lost the battle to win Xifengkou. The attack was frustrated one after another, his morale was not there, and the Ming army in the city took the opportunity to kill it, and the defeat was decided. The way back is now cut off by the Ming army, and the abdomen is under the enemy, this is the rhythm of his entire army.
It's not just him, Prince Zheng's people all the way if he can't take the city before dark, it's enough to choke, this trick is powerful!
Now the prince of Yu of the Qing Dynasty has to admit that he has met a master this time.
"Lin Yi! ......" he had to revisit such a name in his head.
At this time, he remembered what his Khan King Huang Taiji reminded them when he came before he set out for the expedition, don't let him underestimate the enemy, don't let him underestimate the enemy, he is still a little underestimated after all.
A city with only a few thousand men and horses, 60,000 horsemen and soldiers divided into two roads, and his 30,000 horses rushed three times in a row, but he couldn't take it. Now that he was still so passive, Duoduo had never fought such a battle.
Facing the Ming army that appeared behind him, as well as the heavy red-clothed cannons, Duoduo couldn't understand, could it be that they fell from the sky?
Of course, Duoduo didn't expect that this was part of the battle plan agreed by Lin Yi and Liu Zhaoji in advance, yesterday Liu Zhaoji's 5,000 men and horses, pulling 50 red-coated cannons, after a night and half a day's rapid march, went around for more than 200 miles, and only then successfully bypassed the Tartars' eyeliner and appeared in their rear.
Of course, the Eight Banners Army also has spies, but when the large army came, they had already figured out the situation within a radius of 100 miles, and now they only cared about attacking forward, only caring about the Ming army on the city, I didn't expect that there would be a Ming army coming out from behind, and they couldn't fly over?
I couldn't figure it out, and I didn't think about it anymore.
The Prince Yu of the Qing Dynasty now has only one thought, that is, he must break through the defense line of the Ming army in front of him, if Prince Zheng can win Guancheng, they still have hope of turning the book in this game. If they can't take it, let Prince Zheng and them retreat with their whole body, and then they will unite to preserve their strength and then make plans. But if the Ming army's defense line cannot be broken, it will fall into the quagmire of annihilation, and there will be no way to talk about everything.
Therefore, Dordor cheered up and gave such an order to his generals.
So far, 1/3 of Duoduo's 30,000 horses have been lost, and it can be said that the strength is still there, and the vitality has not been injured.
Duoduo gave an order, and the overwhelming Eight Banners Army rushed towards the Ming army in ambush. For Lin Yi's men and horses who were biting behind him, Duoduo left a banner of men and horses to break through, and put his heavy troops in front to break through this line of defense......
After more than 10 hours of rapid marching yesterday, Liu Zhaoji and his men were exhausted when they arrived here this morning.
If it's all cavalry or infantry, it's okay to advance lightly. The point is that these 50 redcoat cannons are not easy to transport.
The reason why ambushes are set up here and artillery is because in the era of cold weapons, the power and deterrence of firearms are absolutely not to be underestimated. Artillery is the god of war, and Lin Yi's army now has very sufficient firearms and ammunition.
There were hundreds of muskets of all kinds, more than 100 redcoat cannons, and all kinds of bullets and explosives. There are two main sources of these things, one is the batch of goods from the Fan family of the Jin merchant, and the second is the spoils of the hundreds of thousands of horses and horses that defeated Huang Taiji.
A few months ago, Lin Yi took more than 1,000 Guanning iron cavalry to make a long-distance raid on the camp of Huang Taiji, and relieved the danger of the Beijing division in one fell swoop. As soon as Emperor Chongzhen was happy, he not only declared Lin Yi innocent and meritorious, and crowned him with an official position, but also gave all the spoils obtained this time to Lin Yi's team, including dozens of red-coated cannons.
These red-coated cannons were all made by Tatars in imitation of the firearms of the Ming Dynasty, and their power was no less powerful than the red-coated cannons of the Ming army.
Lin Yi got so many guns and ammunition, when did he use it to fight tartars? You can't put this thing in the warehouse and wait for the painting to be seen. Besides, there are so many enemies in front of you, and there are so many guns that you don't need, isn't that stupid?
But this time it can exhaust these Ming Dynasty generals.
Each red-coated cannon is more than 2,000 pounds, plus the weight of ammunition, which is all pulled by livestock, and can only walk about ten miles in an hour on average.
Fortunately, Liu Zhaoji led a large number of men and horses, 5,000 men and horses, and they were familiar with the geography of this area, so they sent hundreds of cavalry to repair the road along the way before they set off, otherwise they would really be delayed.
Liu Zhaoji rushed here with his men and horses, and just set up the cannon, and the rest time did not exceed two hours, and Duoduo and they were defeated.
At this time, Liu Zhaoji's men and horses were scolded.
"Damn, these Tartars are really enough for rice buckets, can't you toss in front for a while longer, let Lao Tzu have a good rest, Lao Tzu is about to be exhausted!"
"These bitches are raised, this is a death urge, since they are in a hurry to send them to death, and they are in a hurry to be cannon fodder, then we will fulfill them!"
No wonder these Ming soldiers scolded their mothers, ran such a long way, made such a big effort, from yesterday afternoon to now, eat badly, sleep badly, finally arrived at the place, after settling down, they even forgot to and pee, so tired that they fell to the ground and fell asleep, and before they just closed their eyes, they started fighting again, at this time they only had to sprinkle their anger on the Tartars.
The artillery team of the Ming army scolded and scolded, and they were ready.
Liu Zhaoji gave an order, and 50 red-coated cannons opened fire at once.
The cannon rang out in the sky, and the earth shook the mountains.
In the deafening explosion, the Eight Banners Army fell down in rows, the smoke billowed out, and the fireballs flashed and extinguished, like magical eyes flickering, devouring the life of typing.
The Tartars were now panicked, and the morale of the army was scattered, and there was no fortified city or ravine, just a small hill a few feet high. This row of red-coated cannons alone made them daunting and insurmountable.
The cannon roared incessantly, and life came to a standstill here. The Tartars did not rush forward, but fled for their lives, in all directions, all over the mountains, and in all directions.
After the first round of cannons, Liu Zhaoji saw that 50 shells had blown up the Tartars, not far ahead, he had already seen Lin Yi's men and horses who were rushing to kill, in order to avoid accidentally injuring his own people, Liu Zhaoji ordered to stop the shelling and kill with more than 4,000 people.
Duoduo's 20,000 remnants of the defeated generals, under the front and rear of Lin Yi and Liu Zhaoji's more than 6,000 Ming troops, first shelling and then melee, and after more than an hour of fierce fighting, in the evening, the Tartars' men and horses were compressed in the encirclement of the Ming army, not a single soldier was rushed, the encirclement became smaller and smaller, and finally only one person and one horse remained.
This is the Qing Dynasty's Prince Yu Duoduo, at this time he was still brave and abnormal, and he cut down more than a dozen Ming soldiers in a row, only then did he know that he was the only one left in the encirclement.
At this time, Duoduo on the horse was like a monster, covered in blood, and his two eyes stared at the Ming soldiers who were staring around, snorting and panting.
Duoduo knew that today was the end, but he still did not intend to throw his sword and take it by himself, the only hope was that a miracle would appear, that is, Prince Zheng Zilharang could lead troops to save him, otherwise he would die without a place to bury. Since ancient times, the word surrender has not been in his mind. Now he is killing one to make money, killing two to earn one.
Seeing that Duoduo is still so arrogant, the two peasant warriors can't stand it, the short and stubby Gan Bao is carrying an iron flat on his shoulder, and the tall and mighty Jiang Xingyuan is holding a big shovel in his hand, and both of them are vying to teach Duoduo a lesson.
"Wait for you to retreat and give him to me!" Lin Yi said as Tima entered the circle.
