[153] The confrontation is in Qinghe
Jiannu discipline is strict, although in the face of such a forest of spears, those cavalry still rushed up, but the mounts are affected by the explosion, the cavalry is affected by the gun array, the first impact is not violent, the Ming army's heavy infantry spear array is like a solid embankment, plus the assistance of rejecting horses, to block the moth to the fire of the Jiannu cavalry.
"Ah~"
"Huh~~"
The first row of cavalry collided with the spear formation of the Ming army because the first row of cavalry was killed and wounded by a large number of firearms, so there was no speed itself, once the speed was lost, the impact of the cavalry was greatly reduced, even if some Jiannu cavalry even people and horses were loaded into the spear formation, it did not cause much harm to the infantry phalanx.
In the midst of lightning, a second group of cavalry followed. This was a contact like Mars hitting the earth, and the high-speed cavalry and men and horses collided with the gun array, and the huge front was pierced by at least seven or eight spears, and there were multiple blood holes on the bodies of the knight and the war horse. The cavalry's collision also brought huge pressure to the Ming army, a Ming army's spear was not held, the gun shaft was under pressure and flicked off the ground, and the handle was heavily pressed against the small stomach of the soldier behind, although there was an iron armor block, the pikeman still snorted, and then slowly knelt down, unable to straighten his waist in pain, and suddenly paused.
However, most of the phalanx of the Ming army still stubbornly maintained the original formation, because the queue was very close, even if one person was injured and could not work, he would be clamped tightly by his companions in front and behind, leaving the array intact.
Followed by the third row, the fourth row, the fifth row, and the sixth row of the Jiannu cavalry~~~ A row followed by a row, although the grenades threw the grenade in front of the spear array like crazy, and the thick smoke of gunpowder had made the spearmen in the front row unable to see the scene five steps ahead, but they still couldn't stop the Jiannu cavalry from rushing wildly.
"Hurry that ~ Wow ~"
"Hurry that ~ Wow ~"
"Hurry that ~ Wow ~"
The Jiannu cavalry flocked up one by one like crazy, "Daming Wansheng~~~!" It seems that the Ming army, which is in a desperate situation, only has the ability to parry, and has no power to fight back, has not wavered in the slightest, let alone retreated, and still stubbornly supports the spear array from collapsing. And behind them, the grenadiers who had already thrown grenades to the sour hands had stopped, and after changing the queue, there were new grenadiers to make up for the seemingly terrifying and terrifying Jiannu cavalry, but in fact they were also in trouble, the first four teams did not play a role, and then four more teams rushed up, although they impulsed some of the Ming army's positions, but almost none of them could pass. There were also some Jiannu cavalry who shot a few arrows into the Ming army's formation, but they did not have the desired effect.
On the contrary, in front of the Ming army, more than 800 corpses of men and horses had been piled up, and some wounded and crazy war horses were scurrying in front of the formation. The spear formation of the Ming army is as stable as Mount Tai, and the cavalry behind Jiannu is not good to directly impact, after the tenth team, it still failed to break away from the spear formation, but the cavalry behind can no longer raise the speed, in front of it is dozens of wounded horses scurrying around, and there are hundreds of huge corpses on the ground, especially those huge horse corpses in front of the formation, which seriously affects the cavalry's sprint and becomes a natural obstacle.
The battle was suddenly stalemate.
Taking advantage of the slowdown in the momentum of Jiannu's attack, the Ming army took the opportunity to change the dead and wounded soldiers to the back, and the pikemen in the back row stepped forward to replace them, and gradually pulled up the formation again. On the temporary enemy platform not far behind the spear array, Song Youliang's face sank like water, and the ancient well had no waves, but he was very excited in his heart. Although it has been practiced for a long time, the spear formation directly withstood the continuous impact of Jiannu's actual cavalry, which was the first time, especially in the absence of sufficient obstacles in front of the formation, Jiannu's cavalry exerted its greatest power. But his carefully forged spear array still withstood the rolling iron hooves on the north bank of the Qing River like the waves crashing on the shore, and Shuotuo, who was watching the battle, was entangled, and he said to Adali: "I heard that the white pole soldiers that Taizu met back then, and the other Ming troops were rushed by my Eight Banners Iron Cavalry, and they were suddenly scattered, did we meet the white pole soldiers?" ”
Adali shook his head and said, "I've heard the old people say that the white pole soldiers came out of Sichuan, and the Song Manzi were all Shandong soldiers, so they shouldn't be white pole soldiers." After that, he put his hand on the pergola and looked to the east, "I heard that Prince Zheng is camping in the upper reaches of the Qing River and is condescending to the Southern Barbarians, why doesn't he do it?" Is he here to help defend Gaizhou, or is he watching the excitement? ”
After that, he looked at the Han Army Banner and Baoyi and Aha who were working hard to fill the river, "Too slow or too slow~~" Adali said to Hai Da'an beside him: "Go~~ Find all the southern barbarians who can be found nearby and give them some food." With Li Shutai's experience of being angry with himself and Shuotuo, Adali no longer dared to treat the Han people as inappropriate people, "Chirp~" Hai Daan hurriedly gathered a group of flag soldiers to catch strong men in the nearby villages, and although the cavalry of Jiannu was strong, it was never able to send all the main cavalry to the shore. Therefore, the Jiannu cavalry rushed frantically on the one hand, but on the other hand, they continued to fill in the river and expand the passage to cross the river, but for a while, the place to fill in was limited after all, and the troops that could be sent were also limited. Due to the limited number of troops crossing the river, the Ming army had a large number of cavalry, and it was difficult for the Jiannu cavalry to make a detour with speed. Adali tried to get the cavalry to assemble on the river beach before launching a large-scale attack, but the constant harassment of the Ming cavalry made it impossible to carry out his plan, and he could only honestly fill the river so that the large army could cross the river at the same time without falling into the disadvantageous situation of being outnumbered.
"Junmen, are we going to fight back!" Li Xin said gloomily on the side: "It's not a matter to let Jiannu rush down like this, and the infantry may not be able to hold it." ”
Zhang Nai also rubbed his palms and said, "Why don't you lead the cavalry to charge and kill once, and give Jiannu a little color?" "After Zhang Nai's return to Song Youliang, he has never had the opportunity to show off in the war. On both occasions, he led the cavalry on a trip, both as a guard of honor. The first time was to offer prisoners in Beijing, and the second time was when Song Youliang returned to Dengzhou in fine clothes.
"Okay~" Song Youliang looked at Zhang Nai, who was eager to fight, and said, "But don't pursue, don't fight, you know?" ”
"Order~" Zhang Nai replied, and then he reached out and patted a long saber on his waist, "Brother, the opportunity to drink the blood of the Huns has come." "This saber is specially made by Wei Nai, it is long and heavy, and the knife is filled with four taels of mercury. Zhang Nai has a trick on horseback, called Splitting the Air. He stood up straight on horseback and swung his sword. Zhang Nai's arm strength and this long, sharp and heavy saber made it impossible for the opponent to escape death even if he was not cut in two.
Zhang Nai was about to tell his subordinates that he could finally stop the honor guard when suddenly a loud drum noise came from the north bank of the Qing River.
I saw countless people dressed as ordinary people flocking to the north bank of the Qing River. These people are all holding a container of soil, many of them are holding clothes wrapped in soil, naked, each of them has a very fanatical look on their faces, and their eyes are shining like staring at the Ming military fortifications opposite. Under Jiannu rule, these surviving Han Chinese lived in extreme poverty. Now, at the very least, they have gone from starving to death to having a bite to eat, and in this hellish world, it is already a great happiness to have something to eat. Some poor people who don't even have shoes don't know that they came to fill the river to be cannon fodder for Jiannu, nor do they know that they are fighting the Ming army for Jiannu. But for the sake of this meal, this cannon fodder should be done, if you can survive the career of cannon fodder, maybe you will have a very good improvement, maybe you can eat enough, if you go to the next level, maybe you can still feed the whole family.
"Damn~~" Song Youliang said indignantly: "Order the musketeers and artillerymen to fire at the people who fill the river." ”
"But~~ I'm afraid those people are all Han people~" Li Mu hurriedly said, "There's no way~~ I can only say that they were born at the wrong time." Song Youliang don't look over, "Fire immediately~~"
Nearly 10,000 people are filling the river in rotation, some people are digging soil, and some people are quickly stepping forward and falling into the river, after all, this is the workload of tens of thousands of people, the water of the river itself is not deep, and the deepest part is only overflowing the chest at the moment, and the water flow is not fast. With so many people filling in the river together, Song Youliang could clearly see from the telescope that the passage of Jiannu transporting troops was rapidly widening, and the coaxing behind the wooden fence was like popping beans, and all the noise and noise was covered up by the explosion of the fire for a while. The firearms of the officers and soldiers were fired, and the river-filling people, who were about twenty paces away from the river bank, fell one by one, but when they fell, the people behind were not frightened or avoided, but continued to rush forward. Those who were killed by the fire hammer rolled directly into the river, and such a large volume of river filling is much more convenient than dirt bags.
The artillery of the Ming army also fired together, and the huge cannonballs carried hot wind, crashing into the crowd of people filling the river without any scruples, and time, mud, plasma, and corpses flew together on the bank of the north bank of the Qingshui River In the face of such firepower, any army encountered it at that time would be shocked. But on the other side, many of the Liao people don't even have a piece of cloth to cover their bodies in winter, and many of them are barefoot. He was even wearing only a pair of torn pants, and the clothes on his body were all wrapped in dirt. These scrawny homeless people are undaunted. With a fanatical look on his face, he rushed forward regardless of it, as if the bullets flying rapidly in front of him and the smoke of gunpowder did not exist.
It's just that the earthy yellow surface of the river has turned reddish-purple, and the river does not stop, but how to rush. I can't dilute this purple either. However, due to the heavy firepower of the Ming army, the people only took three steps forward, and then they were suppressed by the continuous bullets and shells, and they seemed to have an invisible wall in front of them, no matter how they rushed, they were all hitting this wall, and this invisible wall was still pushing towards the south step by step.
Such a scene was naturally seen by the coaches of both sides, Shuoto and Adali were anxious, and Song Youliang was heartbroken. He said to his subordinates in a cold tone: "In the future, every time we build a city, we will slaughter all the slaves in the city, regardless of men, women, old and young, as if we were avenging these innocent people. ”
Li Xin and the others also replied with grief and indignation: "Obey orders!" ”
