Chapter 683: Fighting Spirit
The Qing army could not watch the Ming army line up but did not go to the battle and retreated directly, which would blow their own spirit and boost the morale of the Ming army.
The Red Gang agreed to Yanguli's request for war, and when he was in a dilemma, this veteran who had survived a hundred battles was the main attacker, and then thousands of Mongolian light cavalry were scattered and harassed.
The moment they entered the Ming army array, it was the death period of those who dared to act as the "Red Banner Army".
He encouraged: "Our Qing army is invincible, and Aiqing must kill those 'Red Flag Army' who dare to form a formation outside the city to provoke our army." ”
Yanguli bowed and said, "Wow! "Go and pick out the armor now.
At present, the Qing army has not suffered the loss of the "Red Flag Army", everyone wants to make a wonderful appearance in front of Emperor Chongde, and there are countless Bayala, vests, and cloth armors who took the initiative to sign up for foot battles and break the formation.
Due to the large number of people who went and could not be launched, Yanguli ordered 2,000 people to participate in the break.
The "Red Banner Army" was in a tight array, and the battalion officers stood in the first row with Mini guns in their hands, steel shields and their cold weapons at their feet.
The "Red Banner Army", which has won many battles, is not afraid of Jiannu and Tartars, and the main generals, officials, and non-commissioned officers are all in the forefront, which further stimulates everyone's fighting spirit, and at this time they are full of fighting spirit!
The Ming army at the head of the city is not panicked at all, the people's hearts are like this, the "Red Flag Army" has gone to the outside of the city to line up, can they still be considered people who are still trembling in the city? One by one, they were also engrossed.
All the soldiers in front of Ningwu Pass and on the wall were waiting silently, and the signal for the whole army to open fire was Fang Liandong firing the Minny gun in his hand.
There is no need to worry about dumb fire and mishap, Fang Liandong also has two self-generated short guns inserted in his waist, and Fang Liandong carefully checked the guns before the war, all of them were loaded by himself, and it is impossible that all three guns could not be fired.
In order to reduce casualties, the "Red Banner Army" in the formation was all helmed with armor, and the guards were not equipped with iron armor, only cotton armor, iron helmets, and face armor, which could also ensure that everyone had iron armor and leather armor at this time.
That was the equipment that concentrated the Ming army in the city, and it was also Wang Zhaokun who emptied the arsenal of Ningwuguan and equipped the warriors who fought with the Qing army.
The heroic spirit is the most infectious, and the defenders of Ningwu Pass actively cooperated, and even many generals from the fifth rank and above took the initiative to remove their armor and equipment to meet the "Red Flag Army".
"Boom ......Boom" The earth trembled, and the two thousand Eight Banner disciples and five thousand Tartar light cavalry galloped on horseback, and the sound of horses' hooves trampling the frozen earth was like thunder.
Yanguli is not a fierce general, close to the time of thirty or forty steps away from the wheelbarrow formation, calculate the distance, at this time the Ming army's bird gun has been beaten, he decisively dismounted and raised his shield trot, at this time the soldiers around him also dismounted.
Two thousand people took advantage of the corner of their eyes to form a battle line and pressed towards the Ming army array.
The Tartar light cavalry who coordinated the attack did not dismount, and at this time, one by one, skillfully controlled war horses ran out of the diagonal line and continuously fired bows and arrows.
In an instant, the arrows were like flying locusts, and the wheelbarrow immediately seemed to grow thorns, and many light arrows fell into the Ming army's array with a clanging sound.
He had been watching coldly at the enemy's main general, Yanguli's Fang Liandong, who was tall and big, and the target was also big, and there were no less than seven or eight feathered arrows that fell on him, but he turned a deaf ear and stared at Yanguli with all his attention.
Yanguli, who trotted with a shield, estimated the distance, and was only twenty steps away from the Ming army's wheelbarrow formation, why didn't the Ming army let go of the gun? It's close, it's only ten steps, why is the Ming army array still quiet?
Getting closer, Yanguli already felt a great danger approaching, but he didn't turn back when he opened his bow, he let it go, and roared: "It is at this time to fight bravely to kill the enemy, and the warriors are rushing!" "At the very moment when he swung his one-handed battle axe and cut off a spear.
"Phew!" With a crisp sound, Fang Liandong made a move, the Mini gun did not drop the chain, and the Mini bullet came out of the chamber and flew accurately towards Yanguli, who was already less than thirty steps away from Fang Liandong.
The heart goggles are so beautiful that Fang Liandong doesn't need to look for Yanguli's vital point to directly aim at the heart goggles and fire, how about wearing iron armor on the outside and cotton armor on the inside, and heart goggles to protect it?
At such a close distance, the Mini bullet drilled directly into Yanguli's chest, seemingly without penetrating from the back. In fact, it penetrated, but now I can't see it.
Because the quality of Yanguli's armor is really one in a thousand, it is extremely strong, and the piercing Mini bullet did not break the armor leaf of his back.
There was no pain, but it felt that it was coming too quickly, and the veteran executioner Yanguli, who had survived a hundred battles, only had time to look at his blood-spurting chest and felt that all the strength in his body had been lost, and the Liaodong Linhai Snow Field appeared in front of him, as if he saw his wife and children leaning on the door......
Because the Qing army had no experience in engaging with modern firearms units, they suffered a great loss, and the main generals of the two sides actually approached within 30 steps, which was equivalent to facing each other.
Jiannu's stupid attack made the first shot of the Ming army commander kill the enemy when the two armies engaged each other, and it became a classic battle example, which was talked about by the Han people for many years.
"Boom, boom, boom......" Dozens of large and small artillery pieces roared at the head of Ningwu Pass, and all the scattered solid shells hit the dense enemy forces close at hand.
"Crackle, pop, crackle" followed by the "crackling" three-stage salvo was followed by free fire, and the dense rain of bullets was not all aimed at the sky, among which five or six hundred mini guns were all targeted, and it was simply a bullet biting flesh.
Does the Qing army have a choice under such firepower? No, just two words "collapse"!
It's a pity that they were too close to the "Red Banner Army" Minnie gunners, and they couldn't do it if they wanted to turn around and run out of range for 250 paces, and they were knocked down by one shot at a time.
In the smoke of gunpowder, there was a sudden whistle, that is, Fang Liandong found that the enemy army had been routed, and there were not many targets in the firing range to blow the ceasefire whistle, and then the pacification officer and the officials of all the departments blew the whistle.
The gunfire on the battlefield began to thin out, and gradually stopped, and at this time, I heard the miserable howls of the wounded Qing soldiers one after another, and also heard the mournful screams of many war horses wounded by artillery fire.
There was another crisp whistle, and then dozens of whistles sounded one after another, and the officers and men of the "Red Banner Army" understood that all of them had quickly completed reloading.
Immediately after the whistle changed, the soldiers of the "Red Banner Army" marched in formation, the sword and shield bearers and pikemen assassinated the wounded soldiers of the enemy, and the guards pushed the wheelbarrow to move away the corpses of the Qing army.
The wheelbarrow array advanced sixty steps and stopped, at this time the distance from the wall was exactly ninety steps, the gate of Ningwu Pass opened, and more than 2,000 cavalry rushed out of the city to line up behind the infantry.
The Ming army made it clear that the next step was to fight a defensive counterattack.
The Qing army suffered a heavy defeat, and none of the 2,000 armored soldiers who dismounted and fought on foot could escape the fire network, and more than 1,000 of the 5,000 Tartar light cavalry who cooperated with the attack were hit by artillery fire.
