Chapter 210: A Hundred Tigers Rush to the Arrows
In order to attack Yuezhou, Geng Zhongming was afraid that the Ming army would hold on to the city, so he carried ten Hongyi cannons, but he didn't expect that they would be used to attack the Cheying camp now.
Whether it is a rammed earth old city or a brick wall, if you are hit by a cannon, it is a big pit, not to mention the wooden chariot?
Wang Yan watched the Qing army smash the chariot directly with a cannon, and the power of the cannonball was undiminished, and with momentum, several soldiers behind the chariot were beaten into a blur of flesh and blood, and his heart was not shocked.
Geng Zhongming was overjoyed when he saw this, although only one of the ten shells hit, as long as the camp was smashed open the gap, the Qing army could rush in.
But just when he thought that victory was about to be achieved, the 8,000 Qing soldiers who pressed the Ming army were thrown into chaos by the Ming artillery.
In the face of the bombardment of the Qing army's red-clothed artillery, Wang Yan did not dare to leave his hand, so he ordered the Ming army to fight with all his might, and in this way, the Ming army's artillery advantage was immediately revealed, two hundred large and small artillery, as long as half of them hit the Qing army, they could instantly take away four or five hundred surnames, and the Qing soldiers advancing in the formation did not dare to assemble at all.
At this time, there were some deviations from what Wang Yan thought, but in general, it was still according to his plan.
Although the Qing army now has red-clothed cannons, Geng Zhongming has actually fallen into Wang Yan's trap.
There were a total of 30,000 Qing troops, he first sent 4,000 people, and now he sent 8,000 people, if he still can't attack, he can't just send the remaining 8,000 infantry troops to fight, and he will inevitably send cavalry to fight, and he has increased his troops little by little, which has become a taboo for soldiers.
Among the 30,000 Qing soldiers, more than 20,000 green battalions were not looked at by Wang Yan, what he was worried about was the 7,500-strong Han army under Geng Zhongming's Zhenghuang Banner, as long as Geng Zhongming sent this force out to attack the Che battalion, then Wang Yan would have a chance of winning.
It's just that at this time, the red-coated artillery of the Qing army is really annoying, although Wang Yan can let Wang Shixiu lead the cavalry to raid the artillery of the Qing army, but in this way, the Qing army will guard against the cavalry, so that it will not all press on the car camp, and his ambush will not be able to play a role.
At this time, the 8,000 Qing soldiers had already fallen a thousand in the artillery and bird round fire, but they still rushed to the front of the camp.
In the shelling just now, the Qing artillery had already smashed four gaps in the car camp, and at this time the two armies were stuck, and the red-coated artillery stopped bombardment, but the Qing troops rushed to the gap.
At the gap, the pikemen of the Ming army were killed with the Qing soldiers who wanted to rush in, and on the chariot, the bird commanders of the Ming army were shooting at the Qing archers.
Geng Zhongming looked at the battlefield, the contempt on his face was gone, he knew that although it seemed to be evenly matched now, the Qing army would soon be defeated again.
The Ming army used firearms more, and the Qing army used bows and arrows more, firearms fired dozens of rounds in a row, the Ming soldiers were still fierce, if the bow and arrow were fired ten times in a row, the soldiers were basically exhausted, and the Qing army rushed too early, plus the feather arrows in the quiver, it was already insufficient, and it was only a matter of time before the defeat was done.
Sure enough, a moment later, the 8,000 Qing soldiers were defeated again.
Geng Zhongming had already put away his contempt at this time, and did not order the soldiers and horses to attack again, but to use his strengths to order the red-clothed artillery to continue to bombard, and be sure to bombard the chariots of the Ming army.
Seeing this, Wang Yan on the hillside was anxious, if Geng Zhongming was allowed to bombard like this, not to mention the heavy losses of the car battalion, the green battalion that had been defeated just now would also recuperate, so as to slowly recover its combat strength, so that all his previous efforts would be in vain.
At this time, Wang Yan looked at the Qing artillery in the distance, and then looked at the defeated soldiers of the green battalion sitting on the ground after retreating, and his brows immediately furrowed.
The battlefield is changing rapidly, and the Lord must be decisive.
Sometimes, making a wrong judgment may lead to a great defeat for the whole army, but if you hesitate and make a decision, then you will only fail.
"Send out the cannon, let Zhang Youde and the sentry cavalry attack the Qing army's artillery array!"
At this time, Wang Yan gritted his teeth and made his judgment, but what he sent was not Wang Shixiu's cavalry, but the 2,000 infantry army ambushed on the other side, and more than 100 sentinels cruising near the battlefield.
"Bang Bang ~ Bang ~"
Three horns sounded on the top of the mountain, and the two thousand Ming troops who were ambushed in the dense forest on the right side of the Qing army suddenly came out, and the Ming army sentry horses cruising in the distance also rushed over to harass.
At this time, part of the defeated soldiers of the Qing army had retreated, and some of them were still going back, and Zhang Youde led two thousand Ming troops to rush into them in an instant, so that Geng Zhongming, who was just about to send cavalry to intercept, had to order someone to give orders first, so that the defeated soldiers should not impact the artillery team, otherwise they would be killed.
Facing the sudden killing of the Ming army's infantry army, Geng Zhongming's face showed a hint of pride, but he didn't expect him to stop the artillery bombardment, but it led to the ambush of the Ming army.
Judging from the battlefield situation, this Ming army was obviously intended to wait for his whole army to press, or to sneak attack his Chinese army, or to sneak attack the back of the army, but now Wang Yan has used it, which proves that Wang Yan has no other means under the shelling, and it also proves that as long as the artillery is blasting a few gaps, it will not be too difficult for him to rush into it.
At this time, he transferred 4,000 infantry troops from the Chinese army to block the Ming army from the Qing army brigade, and ordered the artillery to continue to bombard, but at this moment, the Ming army on the hillside moved in a car formation.
The four car battalions of the Ming army surrounded a circle on the mountain bag, and the car battalion that was originally facing the Qing soldiers had suffered a lot of losses in the battle just now, and was smashed out of the gaps by artillery, but at this time, the chariots of the Ming army were pulled by mules and horses, and turned half a circle, and the car battalion that was originally wounded turned to the side, and a fully loaded car battalion came to the front of the Qing army again.
When Geng Zhongming saw this, he was shocked in his heart, just like Wang Yan couldn't let the green battalion soldiers recover their combat strength, he couldn't look at the car battalion that had gone through two attacks and was smashed by artillery to open several gaps, and calmly trimmed the connection to the side.
At this time, he looked at the Ming army ambush that was blocked by 4,000 Qing soldiers, and then looked at the defeated army of the green camp that had returned one after another, and felt that Wang Yan had no backhand, so he hurriedly asked people to wave white flags, so that the 7,500 Han Eight Banners on the right flank bypassed the front and attacked the Che battalion that wanted to rest.
At the same time, the remaining 4,000 infantry soldiers in the Chinese army who had never participated in the battle, as well as more than 2,000 green battalion cavalry on the left flank, were also sent out and pressed to the battlefield in one fell swoop.
For a time, tens of thousands of war horses galloped, and the sound was like thunder, shaking the earth.
When Wang Yan saw this, he was not surprised, "It's a big deal!" ”
Geng Zhongming didn't see it, after the camp turned the direction, in the direction where he ordered the cavalry to attack, vehicles covered with black cloth were pushed out, and large barrel-shaped objects were also carried onto the chariot.
At this time, the Ming soldiers aimed them at the Qing cavalry who came around to attack, and these weapons were actually a swarm of bees and hundreds of tigers rushing together.
