Chapter 42: The Battle of Neiqiu 3

、、、、、、、

Even the musketeers assembled at the corner of the formation, at this time also joined the battle group, with the firearms stuck in their hands with short blades, stabbing towards the Tartar soldiers who rushed towards them, although they did not have the length advantage of the pikemen, but the musketeers after the bayonets were not as weak as the previous Ming army musketeers, they at least had a certain ability to counterattack, and after the firecrackers were hung with bayonets, they became a short spear, and the sword-wielding Tartar soldiers did not suffer much, often when stabbing, The action is to stab the enemy earlier than the Tartar who swings the knife and slashes, so the exchange ratio is not much lower than that of the Tartar soldiers, and even in such a battle formation of hedgehogs, there is still a considerable advantage, the dense fire guns are crowded together, it is a forest of short spears, even if the Tartar soldiers' martial arts skills are much stronger than them, but they cannot be fully exerted. ()

What's more, most of the bayonets of the firecrackers of the Heavenly Army are three-edged thorns, and only about one-third of the soldiers are equipped with short sword-shaped bayonets, once these three-edged stabs penetrate the enemy's body, they will immediately cause huge damage, and the air will immediately enter the enemy's wounds, and a large amount of blood will immediately spurt out from the wounds, which can disintegrate the combat effectiveness of a Tartar soldier in a very short time.

On the contrary, the Tartar soldiers mostly use knives, and if they slash at the soldiers of the Xingtian Army, they will be blocked by the armor of the Xingtian Army, but they are not as lethal as the bayonets of the Xingtian Army's firearms.

There is a saying on the battlefield that shooting the enemy with three arrows is not as good as cutting the enemy with a knife, and cutting the enemy with three knives is not as good as stabbing the enemy with a shot, and for the soldiers, an arrow may have armor protection, no fart matter, if you take a knife, you may open an opening, but it will not kill you, but if the torso of the body is pierced by a gun, with the medical level of this era, it can basically be said that the fate of a soldier is decided, that is, death, which fully shows that the most feared thing on the battlefield is to be stabbed by the enemy with a gun. And the Tartars suffered a big loss in this short-handed fight, because the proportion of Xingtian saber players is very low, and the pikemen and firecrackers are mainly assassinated when they are in close combat, and the Tartars have empty combat experience, but they can't give full play, and the result is that the exchange ratio of the melee between the two sides also makes the Tartars fall behind.

Du Du watched the soldiers under his command constantly slap the big array of the thief army like a tide, but he never saw the collapse of the big array of the thief army, but the warriors of Jianzhou under his command kept falling under the opponent's spears, and what he didn't understand was that the musketeers of the thief army seemed to have become pikemen, and they could withstand the impact of the generals under his command, and they were not inferior.

At this time, Du Du was really desperate, how did this thief army train? Why is there such a strong fighting force?

At this time, all of a sudden, the artillery array of the Xingtian Army roared again and again, and this time the artillery of the Xingtian Army no longer used solid bullets, and the barrels of each cannon were loaded with packs of lead the size of the little finger's belly, and after the cannon roared, the lead in the muzzle of the cannon flew into the Tartar soldiers who rushed towards them like a torrential rain.

The twenty or so three-pounder guns fired in turn, and it was a bit like the three-stage fire used by the gunners, forming a continuous firepower, and the lethality of the cannons firing with scattered shells was worth the salvo power of hundreds or even thousands of guns.

One by one, the hideous-looking Tartar soldiers flew out in front of the rain of bullets, and many Tartar soldiers were beaten to the ground, like a human flesh sieve, and they couldn't die anymore!

The continuous shelling was like pouring snow and killing the dense Tartar soldiers, and immediately knocked down a large area in the formation of the Tartar soldiers, this time both Du Du and the Tartar soldiers were really unbearable, although they were fierce, but they were still a kind of thinking animals, not that they were not afraid of death, but that the fear was suppressed by them and did not break out, and now when they met an enemy who was more ferocious than them, their fear was released, and they could no longer maintain their strengthOne by one, waiting for the frightened eyes, they began to stop, and when they saw the muzzle of the Xingtian Army pointed at them, they were also afraid, so they began to retreat, and after a while, the Tartar soldiers began to collapse.

Du Du almost roared out and ordered: "Mingjin retreats!" Collect the troops! Hurry up and collect the troops! ……”

And Luo Li and Li Xin also secretly wiped a cold sweat at this time, and after looking at each other for a while, Luo Li shouted: "Kill!" Rush up and kill me! Cavalry strikes! Brother Li, I'll leave it to you again......"

Du Du has long lost the composure he had when he started the war, where is this confrontation still a war, it is simply a one-sided slaughter, his archers were almost swept away, as the elite armor soldiers in the banner after rushing up, they were killed in a mess, they were killed in a long battle, and they did not take advantage of the melee combat, when did Daming come out with such a group of strongmen, and they were so proud of the Qing army's strong bow and crossbow and the fighting ability inside and outside the Yongguan Pass to fight so badly.

This time, his red flag is over, where is Du Du still thinking about the children and goods captured behind them! Under the sharp blow of the Xingtian Army, his generals have long since lost the kind of courage at the beginning of the war, and the entire army has begun to fall into a panic, under the squeeze of the Xingtian Army's large array, the army has begun to collapse, a large number of Qing soldiers are scrambling to flee backwards, what pride, what bravery, this time has long been in vain, and there is only one thought left in everyone's hearts, that is, to quickly leave this terrible enemy a little farther, a little farther, never run into them again, These torture thieves are not human, they are more fierce than beasts, and they are not at all something they can resist.

Du Du panicked and ordered to quickly withdraw his troops, but at this time he was already out of order, as a veteran of the battlefield, he actually panicked and forgot to collect his troops at this time, might the enemy give up such a good opportunity to pursue? But in order to keep his blood and blood with red flags, Du Du couldn't care about anything at this time, and just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible, and run as far as he could with the rest of the flag people, anyway, he couldn't fight anymore.

Seeing that the Tartars began to rout, Luo Li led the cavalry to attack as always, Li Xin shook his head with a wry smile, and ordered: "The whole army pursues!" Kill as many as you can! Kill! At this time, after nearly a year of training, Li Xin has begun to rapidly grow from a fledgling student to a qualified general, and his position in the army is relatively transcendent, is Xiao Tianjian's account of the senator, not subordinate to anyone, and resourceful, recently followed Luo Li to run the Weihui Mansion and Huaiqing Mansion in the north of the Yellow River, and personally led the troops into battle many times, so he soon won the trust of the people in the army.

And Luo Li, the capital is a war maniac, and he personally charges into battle at every turn, during this time Li Xin actually has to directly command the battle more than Luo Li, so the generals have become accustomed to this, and when they heard Li Xin's order, the trumpeter immediately blew the copper trumpet in his hand, and the sharp and passionate attack horn suddenly sounded in the Xingtian army.

All the generals shouted in unison: "Kill the slave ......" and began to rush forward in great strides.

Thousands of Tartar soldiers turned around and began to flee like a lost dog, and a battalion of cavalry of the Xingtian Army chased after them under the leadership of Luo Li, what bullshit Tartars are invincible, this is all a joke, the defeated Tartar soldiers are not much stronger than the Ming army, they are also like lost dogs, they can't take care of their buttocks, they throw their backs to others and cut them at will, the cavalry quickly stepped over the Tartar infantry soldiers who ran at the end, and among them they stepped out of a bloody road, and a large number of infantry soldiers were poked over, cut down, and trampled to death. Originally, when these Tartar soldiers fled, they followed the banner of their banner master, but when they were rushed by the cavalry, they could no longer care about the direction, and they scattered in all directions.

And Luo Li didn't bother to entangle with these infantry soldiers, after stepping through their formation, he passed through the formation, and led the cavalry battalion to rush towards Du Du's red banner, Luo Li finally caught such a big fish, this time he was not greedy enough to even take Du Du, and led his troops to Du Du.

At the same time, he ordered the Mongolian soldiers with the red flag to stop the pursuers of the Heavenly Thief Army, and he led the men and horses of his own banner, and fled to the east without looking back.

Led the Mongolian red flag is the Mongolian first-class Lazhang Jing Bu Dai, Bu Dai was also panicked to death at this time, originally wanted to lead the Mongolian soldiers of the headquarters to flee together, but did not think that Du Du, this bastard, actually asked his palace to intercept the cavalry of the Xingtian Army, and in desperation, he did not dare to disobey the order, so he had to take the Mongolian cavalry under his command to meet Luo Li's cavalry battalion of the Xingtian Army.

If it is placed in normal times, the cavalry battalion of the Xingtian Army against these Mongolian cavalry, may not be able to win them, but today the situation is a little different, these Mongolian soldiers have already fallen in morale at this time, and they have long lost the determination to fight to the death.

And Li Xin waved his division to pursue, with a battalion as a straggler responsible for chasing and killing the Tartar rout, and the other battalion maintained a formation, ready to deal with the counterattack of the Tartar soldiers at any time, at this point, Li Xin was more qualified than Luo Li, because the battlefield is changing rapidly, and it is impossible not to make preparations with both hands, and it may lead to the loss of the fruits of victory that have been obtained again because of some mistakes, and may even cause incalculable losses, Li Xin does not dare to be careless, and acts much more steadily, This is also an important reason why Xiao Tianjian sent him to Luo Li, to a certain extent, Luo Li is a desperate San Lang, a general, not a handsome talent, and Li Xin's steadiness just makes up for Luo Li's shortcomings.
