Chapter Forty-Eight: Attack on Baturu
"Don't mess around, line up to meet the enemy!"
Han Zanzhou, who had already landed, drew his sword and shouted.
The landing ground in front of him was in chaos.
This batch of landers are all soldiers from Nanjing, Susong, Zhedong and other local guards, it can be said that all of them are rookies who have not been on any battlefield, even their commander Huang Binqing, he is a hereditary military household, and he has been a general in Zhoushan before, because Huang Degong and others in Jiangbei must be vigilant against Li Zicheng......
Although there has been a truce between the two sides.
But there was little trust between officials in Nanjing and Mr. Li.
Therefore, neither Huang Degong nor Liu Zeqing, who retreated to Huai'an, dared to use them, except for Fang Guoan's people who had participated in the battle in Huguang before, the others were basically recruited by the nearest guards, including the commanders, who were also generals of the guards, Wang Zhiren, Huang Binqing, and even Cheng Mingzhen, who had not yet arrived. At this moment, he suddenly encountered a strong enemy, from Huang Binqing to those ordinary soldiers, all of them were in chaos, seeing the Qing army gradually approaching but at a loss, but it was Han Zanzhou, the eunuch, who was the first to wake up, just after waving his sword to urge, he snatched a small box from the little eunuch next to him without the slightest hesitation, and then opened it and took out a stack of paper from it and held it into the air.
"Array to meet the enemy, you can do what you train every day, 300,000, here are 300,000 taels of silver tickets, and it will be yours after this battle!"
He roared hoarsely.
"Quick, array, birdman, birdman, birdman, come forward immediately, cannon, push the cannon up!"
Huang Binqing instantly sobered up, and then pulled out his knife and shouted.
The soldiers were equally sober.
300,000 taels!
This money will definitely not be repaid, just go over directly after the war, at this time, whoever dares to repay the account will be hacked to death with a knife, and then the silver ticket will still be divided by the soldiers, and this does not include the ones he promised before, such as repaying arrears, etc., Han Gonggong still has some credibility, which is completely worth fighting for!
Han Zanzhou held the silver ticket in his hand like holding a magic wand, releasing light in the chaotic beach.
Under this auspicious light of silver, all the soldiers were as excited as if they had been blessed by the goddess.
The soldiers, who were already at a loss, did not hesitate to push a door furlong forward.
Their terrain is actually very favorable, because there are still mountains and forests on both sides of this landing field, and there is only a flat land that is not too wide to move forward, like a bottle, and the road leading to Ningyuan crosses the bottle mouth, and the Qing army must turn from this narrow bottle mouth to attack this side, as long as there are enough cannons to form a stack. Huang Binqing was also a hereditary military household, and after the martyr of the anti-Japanese war, he quickly understood this, and under the urging of his, of course, mainly 300,000 taels of silver tickets, those Ming troops lined up at least forty furlong machines with great efficiency and aimed them at the front.
Almost as soon as these Furlong planes were set up, the Qing cavalry on the opposite side appeared.
"Fire!"
Han Zanzhou and Huang Binqing shouted at the same time.
Forty furlong machines erupted in blazing flames almost at the same time, and forty solid bullets instantly hit the Qing cavalry a mile away.
It is true that this artillery is limited in power.
But it was still powerful enough for bombing the city wall, and the first dozen or so cavalry to rush out had no time to turn around, and their flesh and blood were splashed in the hit of forty solid bullets, and almost one fell to the ground.
"Reload!"
Han Zanzhou screamed excitedly.
All the artillery replaced the spare cartridges with great speed, and then the second round of shelling began, and the cavalry charging on the opposite side still rushed straight out because of inertia, and then in an instant, a piece of flesh and blood was splashed, and then the third round of ammunition was loaded and fired, and the dead bodies of the Qing army were piled up. The advantage of the rate of fire of this rudimentary breech gun was fully exploited in such a battle, and the Ming gunners in the silver auspicious light desperately accelerated the reloading speed, and used forty Furlong machines to shoot at the Qing troops who rushed out all the time, and the dead bodies continued to pile up in that narrow area.
But the Qing army continued to rush out as if they didn't see the dead bodies.
"These madmen!"
Huang Binqing wiped the cold sweat on his head and said.
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, a huge explosion suddenly occurred not far away, and he turned his head in astonishment, and saw a ball of flame explode in his artillery group, and the debris of the burst hit the blood and flesh of the artillerymen on both sides, and even the two Furlong machines were directly blown away by the power of the explosion.
"Blown up!"
The soldiers of the artillery group fled screaming.
At the same time, more than a dozen Qing cavalry swarmed out, stepping on dead corpses everywhere to complete the turn.
"Bird Gunner!"
Huang Binqing and Han Zanzhou anxiously shouted and fled back in a panic, and the last group of gunners who stuck to their posts behind them ignited more than a dozen Furlong machines, but once again there was an explosion, and the remaining gunners also lost the courage to fight, and all of them abandoned these Furlong machines and fled back in a hurry, all of them quickly hid behind the bird guns, and Han Zanzhou subconsciously wiped a cold sweat and looked at Huang Binqing with an inquiring gaze.
"These shoddy wastes from the Ministry of Industry!"
Huang Binqing scolded sadly.
At this time, as the cavalry of the Qing army continued to rush out and complete the turn, the torrent of thousands of troops and horses quickly formed, and they crashed into the thunderous sound of horses' hooves.
Looking at these fierce barbarian warriors, those guards holding bird guns began to tremble, and then someone looked back, Han Zanzhou did not hesitate to raise his 300,000 taels of silver ticket again, he even held the small wooden box high above his head with his other hand, while Huang Binqing glanced at the soldiers, who quickly pulled out their knives and lined them up behind the bird guns, and the mood of those soldiers stabilized a little.
At this time, the first batch of Qing troops entered within twenty zhang!
"Steady, don't ......"
Huang Binqing shouted.
But at the same time, a soldier screamed and pulled the trigger, and then the next moment all the soldiers pulled the trigger, and a few of the surging cavalry torrents on the opposite side fell, but more cavalry continued to rush forward in a blink of an eye, and in the blink of an eye, they were ten zhang away, and the second and third rows of bird guns pulled the trigger desperately, and then the vast majority of people didn't dare to look at their results, screaming and throwing away the bird guns and running backwards in confusion.
Huang Binqing did not hesitate to drag Han Zanzhou, who had not yet reacted, and also ran away.
Behind the Qing army crashed into the crowd.
Han Zanzhou hurriedly raised the silver ticket in the box backwards, and with a gust of wind blowing, the silver ticket inside was blown away in an instant, and immediately flew towards those Qing cavalry, and then fell into the crowd, some of the routs instinctively stopped fighting, and even those Qing cavalry did not hesitate to dismount and grab while slashing and snatching after being stunned for a moment.
"Stop, stop!"
Taking a breath, Han Zanzhou drew his sword and swung it, shouting hoarsely at his subordinates who were in the rout.
"Go back, the escapees will punish the nine clans!"
Then he slashed down one of the routers with a single sword.
But even this had no effect, all the Ming troops on the battlefield were desperately rushing towards the warships on the coast, although many of them actually did not face the Qing army at all, the latter only arrived at the front, and then the formation on Han Zanzhou's side collapsed, and then the entire formation automatically collapsed like collapsed sand. The vast majority of the soldiers didn't even put the bird guns at all, and they also threw them away after seeing the rout of others, and the whole beach collapsed just because of the assault of the Qing army's forward, and those soldiers discarded everything they could, many even their armor.
It's not just the soldiers who are running away, but even the generals are running away......
In fact, they were the first to run.
"Your Majesty, the slave and maid have a negative grace!"
Han Zanzhou looked at his defeated subordinates and looked up to the sky helplessly and roared.
The rout here will lead to the collapse of the entire battlefield, Yang Qing's 5,000 men dare to block the 70,000 Qing army, and his 15,000 men actually dare not face the Qing army, which is actually only a few hundred forwards, this has to be said to be a shame, with this sense of shame, he subconsciously put his sword across his neck......
"Haha, I thought there was some surprise!"
The rear of the Qing army said with a smile.
Han Zanzhou and they are actually not too embarrassed to lose, their blocking tactics themselves are not any problem, it's just that the Fran machine is overheated and the reason is shoddy, and they can't withstand continuous high-speed shooting, if they meet a slightly weaker general, they will definitely be scared after the initial heavy casualties and think of another way, but it's a pity that as soon as these rookies come on the field, they will face the number one fierce general of the younger generation of the Qing army, a guy who even Dolgon doesn't dare to provoke.
At first, Dorgon had thought of kicking Fulin aside.
In addition to Da Yuer's behind-the-scenes or bed-based operations, a very important point is that Sony and Aobai, the young Zhuang faction of the Three Banners, have clearly issued a threat.
If Huang Taiji's son is not allowed to be the emperor, then they will not hesitate to merge with the two white flags.
This was a big reason why Dolgon held back.
Poor Han Zanzhou is a group of rookies, the generals and soldiers are all junior brothers who have never fought, but they directly confronted such a guy when they appeared, and then added a group of yellow flags and toothed lama who can be called the Praetorian Guards of our Qing Emperor, and I have to say that their luck is too bad.
"Surprise? When have Ming people surprised us all these years? ”
His younger brother Mulima looked at the defeated Ming army with disdain and said.
However, at this moment, he found that his brother did not listen to him at all, but frowned and looked at the southern sky, and then Mulima turned his head, and saw that a gray smoke in the southern sky began to spread, and then became thicker and thicker, like a fire burning down there......
"Ning Yuan, it's Ning Yuan!"
He exclaimed subconsciously.
Almost at the same time, a cavalryman behind them came sweating profusely, turned over and dismounted beside Ao Bai and saluted: "Baturu, the rear team is attacked, it is the cavalry of the Liukou, nearly 10,000 cavalry, the brothers are almost unable to withstand it!" ”
