Chapter 271: Counterattack 2

The attack of the new army was very resolute, and after the selected front soldiers came out of the communication trenches, they did not form a whole team, but directly launched a charge.

The vast majority of Xuanfeng did not have musket equipment at this time, they used cold weapons such as bows and arrows, knives and guns, and after meeting, they first shot a round of heavy arrows at the Tartar slaves who had been shot by the Divine Soldiers, and then advanced a few steps, threw out a round of throwing axes and javelins, and finally drew their heavy swords and entered the white-knuckle battle.

The offensive flow is almost identical to that of the Tartars, and although the movements are still not as skilled as the latter, the effect is not too good.

The Tartar slave soldiers, who were completely unarmed and only cared about filling the holes and trenches, collapsed in an instant, and the few Tartars who supervised the battle were all swept by the rout, and thousands of mentally broken people swept backwards like a tsunami, and even the Tartar armor soldiers behind the shield car array could not clear a way to counterattack for a while.

The Selective Frontier pursued behind the rout, harvesting human lives very leisurely, during which almost no one dared to turn back and resist.

It was much later that there were drums behind the shield cart array, and rows of true Jurchen armored soldiers held weapons against the gap between the shield carts, not allowing anyone to pass through.

More Tartars stood behind the shield cart and threw feather arrows forward, whether they were their own people or not, and they didn't even care if they were Jurchen or Han, as long as they were in front of the shield cart array, the golden soldiers were all covered with a rain of arrows.

The cries of the slave soldiers and traitor soldiers who were caught in the middle and had no way out shook the sky, and the dead and wounded soon covered the open space between the Qingzhou soldiers and the Tartar shield car array.

After the rout finally calmed down a little, someone on the chest wall defense line of the Qingzhou Army shouted to this side with a loudspeaker:

"Han brothers! Jump into the trench! Jump into the trench and you won't die! Don't go back and give your life to the Tartars! You're going to die! Come here, our Qingzhou soldiers will give you bread to eat! ”

The loudspeaker made of iron was so loud that it rumbled and was heard by almost the entire battlefield.

Many of the more flexible slave soldiers simply turned their minds and jumped into the trenches as instructed by the Qingzhou army.

Sure enough, as long as they don't stand on the ground and fill the pit, the Qingzhou soldiers who attack will not kill anyone.

The Tartars behind the shield cart on the opposite side also reacted, and they moved out of a few gaps in the shield cart as passages, and began to recover the slaves crowded between the two armies.

In this year, whether it is Liaodong or Qi Province, the labor shortage is amazingly large, although these people are only slaves, but for Qingzhou or Tartar, they are still very valuable assets.

Of course, the recovery of personnel does not mean that the battle is over.

The Selective Strikers chased after the Tartars about 30 paces away from the Tartar shield array, and fired at the Tartars through the surging crowd that had not yet been contained.

From time to time, people on both sides fell, and in this kind of shooting, the drafters appeared to suffer a bit - their archery skills were worse than those of the Tartars, and the opponent was covered by shield carts.

But it didn't take long for the Divine Soldiers to arrive and join in the fire with flintlock pistols, and the Tartar was immediately beaten and couldn't lift his head.

The 15mm musket is extremely powerful, and has a chance to penetrate the shield shield used to defend against crossbow arrows at close range.

Even if it is not penetrated, the wood chips that are blown up by the impact of the bullet are very lethal, and the parts that are not covered by armor are not as easy to take a blow as being stabbed with a knife.

The sharp muskets were released in turn, and the Tartars behind the shield cart were completely untenable, and a large number of frightened routs blocked their ability to counterattack with short combat.

As a result, the Tartars were completely suppressed, and the militia who arrived later began to take away the Tartar slaves in the trenches and on the ground near the Qingzhou soldiers.

The two sides were in a stalemate for more than half an hour, until the two wings of the Jin army came out together and began to try to outflank the Qingzhou soldiers.

The last of the evacuated Forces nouvelles stood majestically at the top of their breastwork, dressed in bright armor and armed with spears with hideous-looking human heads on the tips of their spears.

These people all have a ridiculous pigtail like a rat's tail on the back of their heads, and everyone knows that these are tartars without looking closely.

The Qingzhou army was thundering on the position, the scale of the battle that happened in front of the main forces of both sides was not large, but there were many people who saw it, and as soon as the new army made a move, the scene of thousands of Tartars being destroyed in one fell swoop was deeply imprinted in the minds of the Qingzhou militia.

For the first time, the owners of the outer dock forts who had taken refuge in Qingzhou had the illusion that "the Tartars are nothing more than this".

Although most of the people killed and captured in this counterattack were slave soldiers in the hands of the Tartars.

……

"Hahaha! Good kill! It's fun to kill! ”

Li Kui ran to Xu Shiyang's side with a wild laugh and reported loudly:

"Commander, we have arrested more than 600 people, all of them are strong men! More than 600 heads have been chopped off, and there are still many corpses on the side of the Tartars, and they can't be recovered, so this is a big victory for us! Commander! ”

"yes, I see." Xu Shiyang said lightly.

He stood on the watchtower behind the third breastwork, silently observing the motionless shield cart array on the opposite side.

There were corpses piled up over there, and the wall of corpses was even higher than the shield cart's territory, making it difficult for the Tartars to walk from there, let alone the shield cart.

Sure enough, offense is the best defense.

If the New Army had often launched such small-scale counterattacks before, the Tartars would probably not have been able to break through two breastworks in a row.

This is due to his lack of experience in commanding large-scale battles, and he is really a little uneasy about the militia on the periphery.

This kind of fact is not to blame others, and it can only be said that it is the fault of his own commander.

Fortunately, he still has a chance to make corrections, and the two sides will still have to fight next.

"Heap all the Tartar heads in front of the trench." Xu Shiyang ordered coldly.

……

Several Jurchen Bo Lie gathered together, looking at the small Jingguan in front of the Qingzhou Army defense line in front of them with a pale face.

"Almost two thousand people were folded." Wanyan Zongbi suppressed the anger in his heart and whispered, "The results of our previous trip were wiped out at once. ”

They estimated that they had killed two or three thousand Qingzhou soldiers before, and today they would turn back two thousand, and after adding the previous losses, the two sides basically exchanged one for the other.

Of course, the losses here are led by slaves and Han Bo's fierce soldiers, but the losses on the other side are not the main force, and then again, it is still half a catty.

"What are you afraid of?" Wan Yan Xian also said viciously: "Keep attacking!" It's okay if the minions are all dead, and if you go to Qingzhou, you can catch them as many as you want! ”

"When the minions are dead, they should die tartars! If the Tartars are dead, they will have to die our armor soldiers! Wanyan Zonghan retorted: "We can't afford to die!" ”

The Jurchens' so-called Tatars refer to the Jurchens, who in their eyes were even more barbaric than them, and the Jurchens themselves felt that they were civilized people.

"If you can't afford to die, you have to die!" Wan Yan Xian also gritted his teeth and said: "It's all come to this point, how can you go back empty-handed?" ”

"Attack, fill in the Tartars when the minions are filled, and fill the armor soldiers when the Tartars are filled! In any case, we will cross the Yellow River in five days! ”
