Chapter 136: The Defeat of Korea III

He really didn't take the situation seriously.

He knew that he was not very good at such things, so he simply delegated the power to open fire, and the sentry commander at the front of the line was free to control it. He was waiting to do one thing, and that was to fight back.

Whether the firepower can repel the Qing army or not, it is when he counterattacks.

A shrill whistle sounded, followed by a volley of artillery fire.

This battalion did not bring much artillery, just some tiger squat artillery, even so, the intensive fire strike, also let the Qing army suffer great losses, rushed to the front of the Han soldiers, suddenly emptied a large area.

But the formation of the Qing army rushing over was too much and too dense. The Qing army suffered great casualties, one after another, not moved at all, and suffered three rounds of fire blows, and the corpses of horses and corpses were spread on the ground, but the follow-up men and horses still carried a strong impact and rushed into the formation of the troops.

"Change formations." I don't know who shouted hoarsely, as if the vocal cords had been cut from the middle, and it was extremely high-pitched.

The soldiers of Xia were like machines, according to the way they had trained for an unknown number of times, the spears stepped forward, the guns retreated, and then continued to shoot from the space reserved by the pikemen.

It's just that this time the Qing army's capital was so large that they were unexpected, and they were forced to overwhelm several arrays, and for a while, people and people, horses and spears, and even bayonets and waist knives that were not used in ordinary times all played a role in an instant.

Under the back, whether it was the Qing soldier who rushed to the front or the Xia soldier who was in the front, he died in an instant and couldn't die anymore.

At least more than 1,000 people died in this impact.

However, the Xia army reacted very quickly, and the soldiers behind the guns were erected, although they lost a lot of firearms, but after all, they did not die, so they lined up in a strict queue, according to the rhythm, and continued to shoot, and where the two sides clashed, the corpses of people and horses were staggered, and they were more than half a meter above the ground for a while, becoming an obstacle and blocking the speed of the cavalry's impact.

And with so many people dead in front of them, how could the cavalry behind them be untouched, they are human beings after all, people who will be afraid of flesh and blood, not steel machines, nor a symbol in the computer.

It's not necessarily a good thing to just have feelings, if they grit their teeth and rush over, maybe they may break through, but no matter what the reason, this side is so slow, all the sacrifices and efforts in front of them are in vain.

"It's time." Yang Shenzu waited for a long time, and at this time he shouted loudly, and with three hundred cavalry, he came out obliquely.

I don't know if Yang Shenzu is indeed brave and better than others, but the Qing army has faced this situation of corpses and a sea of blood

The army's heart was shaken, and Yang Shenzu rushed like this, and suddenly more than 1,000 soldiers beat their horses and left, and the first offensive of the Qing army disappeared in this way.

Yang Shenzu took advantage of the situation to fight and chase and kill Li Xu, and then he collected his troops, and the soldiers around him did not lose much.

Yang Shenzu suddenly thought that Zhang Xuan had always wanted to strike with firearms, and the pattern of cavalry pursuit was probably like this. It's just that the Great Xia Dynasty doesn't have the ability to equip each battalion with five hundred cavalry.

Azig looked at this situation coldly, and the sense of loss in his heart could not be dissipated.

He knew that Xia Jun's infantry formation could not be rushed, but now he insisted on doing so, not because he was crazy, but because he wanted to see the limit of Xia Jun, but he never thought that Xia Jun's limit had not been seen anywhere, but he had already seen the limit of the soldiers under his command.

Naturally, it was not the elite of the Eight Banners who rushed up.

Azig will not let the blood of the Eight Banners be shed in vain, but it is also the Han army garrisoned by Liaodong, among which there are also Mongolian cavalry.

But such a fatal impact still can't break through the 3,000 people in the Xia Military Region, that is, the infantry formation of a battalion, if it comes, won't any battalion of the Xia Army be able to show off its might in front of the Qing cavalry in the future?

"In the future, the Qing Dynasty must give priority to firearms." Azig said secretly in his heart. Then he gave way to the foot soldiers, who pushed a cannon of small caliber, but enough to bombard the infantry outside the range of the gun. Yang Shenzu watched them push out the cannon, and his heart sank suddenly, knowing that this situation was irreparable.

"Rumble." The sound of cannon fire came from behind him.

Liang Huafeng turned his head suddenly, the sound of the cannon came from a long distance, and only a vague echo could be heard here. Beside him, the road had changed from flat to mountainous, and the army had windled its way into the mountain from his side, and some mountain garrisons had come down to meet him.

It's all North Koreans.

Of course, this Xiaobai Mountain Range is not a high mountain or a big river, and the slope is not too high. But this slope is enough for firearms to work. Even if the Qing army of 100,000 troops came over, Liang Huafeng could resist with one piece, retreat one by one, and retreat into the mountains.

After all, it is already very clear that the Qing army is unpopular in North Korea.

It's just that the rumbling cannon sound at this moment made his heart chuckle, and he understood very well that the Xia army's infantry formation was relatively densely arranged in order to fight against the cavalry, and what he was most afraid of was bombardment with artillery. If the army clashed, our side would naturally have artillery to suppress the formation, and we would not be afraid of the artillery on the opposite side, but the battalion that was now broken did not have such artillery.

"Can General Yang come back?" Liang Huafeng said secretly in his heart.

At the moment he was both worried and excited.

Worried that Yang Shenzu will die here, he is the main general after all, and the main general will die in battle. He did

For subordinates, I am afraid that it will inevitably be dealt with by military law.

Just when he was worried, he saw a group of cavalry chasing after him, and he saw that it was true, but he saw that the cavalry was covered in blood, as if he had taken a bath with blood. However, he could still recognize that it was their cavalry in the Xia army.

The Xia cavalry was left behind. Where he came from is naturally self-evident.

Liang Huafeng hurriedly took a few steps forward and said, "How is General Yang?" ”

The cavalryman fell off his horse and could no longer stand up, so the two soldiers hurriedly stepped forward and held on to him with one hand. The cavalryman stretched out his hand and took out a piece of cloth from his arms, and said tremblingly: "General, this is General Yang's suicide note, present to Your Majesty." ”

Liang Huafeng hurriedly caught it and opened it to take a look, but saw that the suicide note was just a piece of cloth torn from his clothes, the edges on it were not smooth, and it was written in blood: "The minister is about to die, and he can't avenge your brothers." May Your Majesty not forget the Cao Ying brothers, the Northern Expedition to the East, to avenge the brothers, Liang Huafeng, this person, can be reused, as the deputy of the minister, the minister to the affairs of North Korea entrusted to him, may Your Majesty believe it. ”

There's also a hasty payment below.

When Liang Huafeng saw it, a hot current rushed up in his heart, his eyes were hot, and two lines of tears flowed down.

Liang Huafeng is famous, but he is not hard-hearted, he has long inquired about the relationship between Yang Shenzu and Zhang Xuan, and naturally knows that when Yang Shenzu was dying, the weight of this recommendation was heavy, it can be said that this suicide note was sent to Nanjing, and he was a member of the emperor's heart.

Such a generous kindness, how can he reciprocate.

At this time, the cavalry below rushed over, about three or five thousand horsemen, but when they reached the mountain, they were blocked by the mountain, so they had to go around. This was just the beginning, but in a few moments, countless cavalry arrived, looking down the mountain from Liang Huafeng, densely packed, crowded with people, and they couldn't see the edge at a glance, as if they were large pieces of black paint, covering their entire field of vision.

After a while, a group of men and horses came from the middle, and the troops on both sides all got out of the way, concentrating and calming, and did not dare to speak loudly.

Liang Huafeng just looked at the color of the military flag and knew that it was King Azig of England.

After all, he had been mixed in the Qing army, and he was very clear about many doors in the Qing army. Seeing such a situation, he was inevitably a little shaken in his heart. The Qing army came here, not 100,000, but 50,000, and only more than 10,000 Xia troops and 20,000 Korean volunteers under his command, which were weak.

When such a large army pressed the border, he was inevitably a little shaken in his heart, but he immediately calmed down and determined his position. It is better to fight to the death than to surrender to the Qing court. Liang Huafeng is by no means a foolish and loyal person, he has such a resolute position, there are many reasons, such as he has betrayed once and does not want to betray again, and it also has the effect of Yang Shenzu's blood letter.
