Chapter 274: Deception

The Qing troops in the front row were scared, but the Qing troops in the back row still had morale. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 There were more than 60,000 Qing soldiers in this battle, and the casualties of several thousand were still bearable, and the Baylors would never allow the soldiers in the front row to retreat. Seeing that the Qing soldiers in the front row were frightened, the marching soldiers rushed forward and shot dozens of arrows at the soldiers who stopped.

The ten-force bow is generally used for the swing of the teeth, and the arrow is accurate and ruthless. The bow and arrow slashed through the air for dozens of meters and shot into the backs of the Qing soldiers in front, and those Qing soldiers immediately let out a miserable scream.

The tooth swinger does not allow the soldiers in the front row to desert! If the Qing soldiers rushed to the front and died, they would still die in honor, and if they fled to the back and were shot to death, it would be meaningless. One person was shot to death by the swinging tooth horn of the escort, and the whole family would not be able to raise their heads in the future. When the Qing army in the front row saw this scene, they didn't dare to hesitate anymore, gritted their teeth and ran forward again.

The Qing army rushed forward and crossed the third trench.

At a distance of about one hundred and ten meters, the soldiers of the first round of fire of the Tiger Ben Division had already reloaded their bullets in the back row, stood in the front row, and fired the fifth salvo.

The soldiers of the Tiger Division did not fire a salvo of 600 people at the same time, and the width of the front of the battlefield was too wide to unify the firing time, and the Tiger Division basically fired a salvo in a platoon of 31 people.

The Tiger Division fired bullets one platoon after another, and the Tartars in the front row were hit hard.

At a distance of 110 meters, even the Tartar horse armor soldiers wearing iron plate cotton armor and chain mail could not carry the conical bullet, the cotton armor was pierced, the inlaid iron plate was pierced, the chain mail was also pierced, and the bullet shattered when it passed through these armors, turning irregularly, and causing larger wounds when piercing the flesh.

Hundreds of vest soldiers in the front row were leading the charge, but they were suddenly shot through the body by bullets. These vest soldiers thought that the Ming army's firearms could not do anything with them, but they were beaten up at this time. One by one, they looked at the huge wound on their body in disbelief, but they couldn't hide the blood that was pouring out. The blood that flowed out stained the armor a large area of blood-red, causing the vest soldiers to fall one by one.

The Tartar rushed forward a dozen more paces and was hit by a sixth round of rifle fire.

The soldiers in the second row on the front loaded their bullets, stood in firing positions, aimed at the tartars, and fired volleys from platoon to platoon.

The distance was very close, and the Tartars were rushing head-on again, the formation was dense, and the hit rate of the Tiger Division's shooting was very high. Missed bullets will even hit the back and side of the tartars, and the missed bullets are rare. After a salvo of six hundred soldiers, four or five hundred Tartars were knocked to the ground.

The Tartars suffered heavy casualties, but they still fought to the death and continued to rush forward.

In the face of the deadly bullets of the Ming army, the Tartars finally rushed through the fourth trench and rushed to the wooden thorns.

The large wooden thorns shocked the Tartars who rushed here.

The Ming army cheats!

The team of auxiliaries who had just discovered the wooden thorns were all wiped out by the Tiger Warriors, and no one went back to tell the Qing army that there were wooden thorns in front. At this time, the large army of the Qing army rushed to the front of the wooden thorn, and saw clearly the wooden thorn that was only half a foot high, and only then did they understand how impregnable the Ming army's fortress was. This area of wooden thorns is impassable at all.

Thousands of warriors were sacrificed and rushed to the front of the Ming army, but because of the Ming army's fortifications, they could not advance, and the Tartars who rushed to the battle had a feeling of wanting to cry without tears. Even the bravest Tartar was suddenly dead.

Dozens of Mongol Tartars and infantry soldiers rushed into the wooden thorn formation, and the soles of their shoes were punctured by the wooden thorns and fell on the pile of wooden thorns. Even if they were wearing cotton armor or armor inlaid with iron sheets, these Qing soldiers were stabbed by wooden thorns. They struggled to find a place to stay in the wooden thorns, and slowly escaped.

The Ming army's fire was continuous, and it was still pouring bullets at the Tartars, but the Qing army had no way out. If you want to get rid of the wooden thorns, you have to dig up the earth to spread a layer of soil half a foot high on the ground. But under the aim of the Ming army's guns, how many people would have to die to cover these wooden thorns with earth? It's an impossible task.

Then some of the Tartars lost their fighting spirit and turned to flee back and forth.

A few hundred meters away, at the Qing Army's Central Military Office, Zhong Beile saw that the charging team had stopped, and they were anxious. After sacrificing so many warriors, how could they stop when they finally rushed to fifty steps away from the Ming army?

Hauge looked at the Qing soldiers who stopped in front of him with his mouth open, and was speechless in surprise. Obviously, the warriors encountered Li Zhi's fortifications and could not rush forward.

This Li Zhi is cheating!

Abatai's face turned a little pale, and he said: "I was ordered to the general, there seems to be a trap in front of me, and the warriors can't rush forward." ā€

Dorgon covered his nose with his hand, his heart like a knife.

After sacrificing so many warriors, Dolgon felt like he was scared of being beaten by Li Zhi. Originally, he made such a big sacrifice to rush up and annihilate Li Zhi's soldiers and horses, but this Li Zhi was deceitful and set a trap in front of the battle that could not be seen from a distance. Not only that, but the cannons, which took a long time to fire when the wooden bridge was paved just now, were bombarded endlessly at this time. If he had known that Li Zhi had left so many followers, Dolgon would not have let the warriors rush to his death.

But now that the wood is complete, and thousands of warriors have died, can they be withdrawn like this?

Fifty paces away from the enemy could not advance, and the Qing soldiers had to use arrows to strike at the enemy. However, Li Zhi's soldiers and horses hid behind the earthen wall, so it was not advantageous to shoot the Qing soldiers.

However, when the wooden bridge was laid, 7,000 auxiliaries and followers had been left in front of the battle, and at this time, more than 4,000 Qing soldiers had died in the battle. He shouted, "Blow the trumpet, let the warriors withstand!" ā€

In front of the battle, dozens of Qing soldiers who took the lead in escaping were shot to death by the swinging tooth horns who escorted the formation. When the Qing soldiers heard the clarion call to continue the charge, they did not dare to retreat, so they could only grit their teeth and stand under the mouth of the Ming army's firearms. In such a situation, only to shoot with bows and arrows, the Qing soldiers took out the bows and arrows on their backs with pale faces, and began to shoot at the Ming army gunners behind the wall.

It's a fair fight.

Most of the horse armor soldiers and infantry soldiers held the eight-force bow, fifty paces, or seventy-five meters was the limit range of these Qing soldiers, and they couldn't shoot at this distance at all. The auxiliary soldiers and followers of the Qing soldiers were even more humble, and they generally held six-force bows, and the bows and arrows shot were basically non-lethal at fifty paces. Most of the Mongolian Tartar bows and arrows are similar to the Bali bow, and they are also extreme shots at fifty paces, with poor accuracy and inability to break armor.

The Tiger Warrior, on the other hand, hid behind a canopy and earthen wall to shoot. The earthen wall, which was almost shoulder-high, completely protected the torso of the Tiger Warrior's body, revealing only one head and shoulder. Not only that, but there was also a canopy above the head of the Ming army, and most of the bows and arrows thrown were blocked by the canopy.

Moreover, 2,000 of the 2,400 soldiers on the front were soldiers of the Election Regiment, wearing chain mail. Fifty paces away, only the ten-force bow of the swinging tooth could shoot through the chain mail. And the swinging teeth are all in the back, and the eight-force bow of the horse armor and foot armor in front of the formation is powerless against the chain mail. (To be continued.) )
