Chapter 504: Hands-on
In the face of the Qing army rushing up, the Dashun army was blinded, and they could only fight indiscriminately and fight for themselves.
And Ma Bao suddenly found that his cannon couldn't fire, what's wrong, the artillery Qing army at this time didn't have indirect shooting technology, it was all direct fire, and now Babutai's Qing army rushed up, and the Qing artillery in his rear couldn't fire.
Otherwise, this cannon shell hit his own people, so Ma Bao did not order the artillery to fight the Dashun army, and the Dashun army would have escaped the time of being ravaged by the artillery, otherwise with the mind of a high merit, with the morale of the Dashun army, the artillery of the new army of the Qing army, which was better equipped than them, would be ravaged and collapsed, but in close combat, they still have a certain degree of confidence.
Because there are thousands of these soldiers are elite soldiers in a hundred battles, and the other soldiers are not veterans who have not seen the battle at the beginning, everyone knows that if they don't fight for a while at this time, if they turn around and run, they will die the fastest, they are different from new soldiers, they know when they have to fight hard, and when they can turn around and run.
This is much more experienced than the recruits of the new military town of the Qing army who have not experienced the big war.
Babutai's Qing soldiers withstood the blow of the artillery of the Dashun army, rushed through the battlefield at a distance of six hundred meters, and in the blink of an eye, they were at a distance of one hundred meters.
Although the soldiers of the Dashun Army were panicked, they had experience.
After training, there was a team of overseers in charge, and soon the guns crackled.
The cavalry of the Qing army fell down like dumplings, and then the infantry that followed behind was still two or three hundred meters away, and the artillery continued to enter their ranks without hindrance.
Babutai's Qing soldiers had not experienced artillery fire, thinking that it was still the previous Ming army, blindly trying to grab in front of the enemy, waiting for the enemy to collapse, and then rushing forward, as a result, heavy losses, and when they were close to fifty or sixty meters, they could also shoot bows and arrows, and they had already lost two or three hundred soldiers.
Over there, Mabao's artillery was able to open fire, because Dolon's troops had already bypassed from the other side, and they hit the field brigade on the flank, and then went around the field brigade and collided with the cavalry of Gao Yigong.
The cavalry of both sides pursued freely between the hills, between the mountains, on the plains, and in the woods, while the infantry charged while bypassing the field brigades and charging to the rear.
Gao Yigong mobilized infantry troops to rush over to block the Qing army's attack, which looked invincible, but it was advantageous to block the enemy's attack, and gave Liu Guoxuan's troops time to escape, of course, Gao Yigong would not let him escape, he had already let him set up a formation and approach his own Chinese army, he wanted to rely on the strength of the Chinese army to block the enemy's attack.
Due to the terrain, the artillery of the Chinese army had already opened three rounds of fire on the infantry of Dolong, who was rushing over, and the Qing infantry of Dolong suffered two or three hundred casualties.
However, after all, the combat effectiveness of the Qing soldiers is tenacious and strong, and this number of casualties cannot make them collapse at all, at most, they are a little demoralized and a little panicked.
Next, Ma Bao's two arquebuses faced the elite arquebus battalion of the Dashun army, which was the real battle.
Since there was no Qing infantry in the middle of the two sides at this time, the Qing artillery on the other side was able to open fire, and directly hit the middle army of the Dashun army, without taking care of the arquebus battalion.
In the face of the enemy's favoritism, the two arquebuses of the Dashun army were unceremonious, and directly used the artillery in their own battalion to deal a heavy blow to the enemy in front of them.
At a distance of four or five hundred meters, the Qing army's two targets, a force of 6,000 people, withstood the bombardment of dozens of shells, and the formation became scattered, and it was the first time that they fought with the enemy's arquebus troops.
After fighting for a long time, the Dashun army found that the situation was actually favorable to itself, and the enemy had lost more than itself, so they couldn't help but boost their morale, stabilized, and shot more smoothly, and when the enemy entered a distance of 150 meters, there were already sporadic bullets that hit the ranks of the Qing army through a salvo.
However, after all, it was a field brigade of more than 3,000 arquebuses to attack the enemy, but the enemy had nearly 5,000 arquebuses, and there were cavalry and infantry behind, and the strength of the field brigade was not superior.
Of course, it was the advantage of more firearms, and after a round of down, the Dashun army fell two or three hundred people, and the enemy continued to advance, ten meters, twenty meters, and it was already close to a distance of one hundred meters, and the Dashun army organized a salvo in a panic, and the Qing army immediately fell two or three hundred people.
The two sides fought for a while.
As the Qing army approached with ferocity and bursting, Dashun panicked, and the fire became scattered, and the Qing army grabbed more than ten meters again, approaching ninety meters away.
At this time, the artillery of the Dashun Army, which was hidden behind, pushed up, loaded under enemy fire, and then under the operation of the crippled artillery, a salvo suddenly came.
Countless scattered bombs flew in, knocking out the Qing army at once, and emptying the space of nearly five or six hundred people in the front row of the Qing army, and the Qing army was immediately demoralized and chaotic.
Seeing this scene, the Dashun army immediately formed a group, stepped forward, advanced, and came with a salvo, so that the two rows in front of the enemy were almost emptied.
The morale of the Qing army was low and they began to cower, they were not a well-disciplined Huaxia army, even if they were hit hard, they could quickly form a team, make up for it in the rear, and put pressure on the enemy again.
Ma Bao saw the situation in front clearly, and couldn't help but be in a hurry, ordering the cavalry to rush up from both sides, and his own soldiers ran to the rear to supervise the battle, and the whole team was formed.
The Dashun army was also a strong rise, and when they saw that the Qing army was strong and the enemy cavalry was coming, they immediately retreated and leaked the artillery to the enemy cavalry.
Seeing this scene, the artillerymen operating the small cannon panicked, fired a shot indiscriminately, dropped the cannon and ran to the rear.
At this time, Babutai had already broken through the position of the secondary field brigade and was wantonly slaughtering the secondary field brigade of the Dashun army, and the two sides were strangled together.
At this time, the Chinese army with high Yigong had already chased Duolong's troops and fell into a battle on the battlefield outside the two places.
Most of Liu Guoxuan's troops have collapsed, leaving Liu Guoxuan's family members still cooperating with Gao Yigong's troops to fight with Duolong's troops.
Ma Bao had already led his team to rush into the junction of the two field brigades, and made the first contact with the artillery who stayed here, and was bombarded by the artillery, and the morale of the 3,000 Han Army Banner troops was greatly reduced, and there were sporadic arquebusiers shooting at him on the left and right, Ma Bao was a little flustered, and he thought of finding some fresh troops to make up for his lack of troops.
The generals of the Qing Army, the supervising army of Wang Nengbu, who had not been launched in the rear, also felt that something was wrong, why didn't Wang Nengbu rush up, this was not right.
Suddenly, he pointed the muzzle of a battalion of arquebusiers at them.
Wang Neng calmly said to the herald beside him: "Do it." ”
After the firelight, the Manchu Jurchens standing in front of the five hundred supervising troops opened their eyes wide and looked at Wang Neng's arquebusiers incredulously.
The traitor soldiers who followed behind with the banner of the Han army immediately threw down their weapons with a sad face and knelt beside Wang Neng.
