Chapter 190: The Tragic Duoduo
On the battlefield of frontal hand-to-hand combat, with this huge explosion, a ball of fire suddenly arched like a fire demon underground, swallowing everything around it in the firelight, and the explosion wave pushed sideways with gunpowder smoke and dust, and blew everything within a radius of more than ten zhang around......
It's all blown up.
Whether it is the Shun army or the Qing army.
Its power swept through more than a hundred soldiers on both sides in an indiscriminate manner, and the shattered corpses of the blasted flew in all directions and then scattered.
The entire battlefield was silent.
Everyone, whether Qing or Shun, watched this scene in horror, especially those around the explosion site, and even stopped fighting altogether, and then watched in amazement at the severed limbs and broken arms that fell like raindrops above their heads......
The God Warrior has appeared.
And it appeared quietly.
After the last battle on the banks of the Yellow River, Duoduo knew that this thing could not be used openly, after all, he could not expect all soldiers to have the courage of the divine warriors to see death as home. Not to mention the unbelievers of the Han, Manchu and Mongolian dynasties, it is the Shenjun itself, in fact, it is good to be able to pick out one of the thousand people who dares to treat death as home, and it is necessary to find those who are young and easy to fool. Therefore, if you use it blatantly, there will definitely be the situation like last time, and the other Qing troops who knew all fled without a fight, leaving only one god warrior to charge alone, and then be easily shot by the opponent.
It would be pointless.
It even affected morale.
So here Duoduo took a smarter approach, allowing the Divine Warriors to quietly move forward, without the knowledge of their own soldiers, to quietly blend into the fierce battlefield and then detonate.
"King Yu's plan is wonderful!"
Geng Zhongming said with heartfelt emotion.
"Haha, let him still be a rogue in the Ming army, this king will be blown up into ashes!"
Duoduo said smugly.
However......
The Qing army on the battlefield suddenly erupted in a scream of terror, and then a dozen points invariably turned their heads backwards, and then from these points onwards, the rest of the Han army and the Korean army all fell backwards like collapsed sand, even the front of the Eight Banners Divine Army. Less than a minute after this explosion, the Shun army had not yet run on the battlefield that was originally evenly matched, and the Qing army itself began to flee on almost all fronts, and all the Qing soldiers moved away from the battle line as fast as possible, while looking at their companions with distrustful eyes......
"What's wrong with these dog things!"
The sharp turn on the face of the scene turned the smile on Dord's face into rage, and he roared in disbelief.
Geng Zhongming and other generals were also stupid.
Even Gao Yigong of the Shun Army and Gao Dejie, who watched the excitement next to him, were stupid.
Why didn't this blow up the Shun army, but the Qing army collapsed itself?
Actually, it's very understandable.
Dodor blew up the trust between the soldiers!
Who can trust their peers? Who knows which companion suddenly detonated dozens of catties of gunpowder next to him, and then blew himself to pieces with no bones left? The Qing army can indeed fight a bloody battle in the face of the Shun army, but when there is a companion hiding by his side who can blow himself up at any time, who has the courage to continue fighting?
Especially more serious for those who are at the forefront of the front.
This explosion was even behind their backs.
Thinking that there are probably dozens of catties of gunpowder behind his back that have lit the fuse, who would dare to fight without distractions in those Qing troops who originally knew that there was no danger in their backs and had no scruples? They and the Shun army were originally evenly matched, but now they have become the enemy on the belly, although the explosion is to defeat the enemy, but it is for the generals, for the soldiers to fight on the battlefield is to save their lives, and those who kill them are their enemies.
It would be a fool not to run in this case!
Dodor thought only of the power of the Divine Warriors, but forgot what was most important to a bloody army on the battlefield.
Back.
If the back is a powder bag with a lit fuse, then how can this battle be fought?
"We don't dare to use grenades, and they dare to use routing?"
Gao Yigong said with a smile.
Indeed, it was because of this that they did away with the grenadiers, which were supposed to be very useful.
In the dense Spanish phalanx, several of them could either explode in the crowd at any time due to ignition errors, or be thrown out and blocked by the front soldiers' hats to explode......
This is quite normal.
The European grenadiers with special hats were designed to prevent this.
And even if you throw it, you may be caught by the spear in front of you and explode, or even if the fuse creates a problem that burns too quickly and explodes early, or if you throw it wrong, you will fall in front of you. This is also not uncommon, in the chaotic bloody battle, it is not uncommon for grenadiers to make mistakes due to nervousness, and the Europeans have to force the grenadiers to go out and throw them, and all the grenadiers have become synonymous with bravery, because they have to stand in front of the other soldiers and throw grenades at the bullets and shotguns on the opposite side.
These will cause panic among the other soldiers.
After all, what soldiers fear most on the battlefield is the danger in their backs.
Yang Qing also has internal controversy about whether the grenade should continue to be used, the advantage is that his grenade is of good quality and is hidden in a special compartment when not in use, and the fuse is also hidden in the cover, even if it is thrown not far away in the car camp, it will not hurt himself if there is a side van to protect it, but even so, now the soldiers are less and less dislike to carry.
Grenades are still like this, let alone rou bombs with dozens of pounds of gunpowder on their backs?
"Governor, Gao Dejie still doesn't attack?"
The officer next to him said.
They have signal soldiers sent by Gao Yigong to make contact, and they can use flags to deliver messages.
"Attack, the rest is theirs!"
Gao Yigong said.
At the same time, Duoduo also issued an order for cavalry to attack, not that in order to win the battle, his defeat was inevitable, but it was necessary to block the pursuit of the Mingshun coalition army to avoid causing greater losses, and the next thing to do was to retreat as soon as possible and wait for Dolgon's reinforcements to avoid the Mingshun coalition army from counterattacking Hebei. Just when Gao Yigong's order was issued through the flag, the elite cavalry of the Eight Banners Manchuria also began to move forward, the total strength of this cavalry was still close to 20,000, and the long cavalry battle line quickly began to move on, including those Mongolian cavalry who also joined the battle from the flanks, and almost more than three times the strength of the Ming cavalry rushed straight to Gao Dejie.
"The second cavalry brigade against the Mongolian cavalry, the third cavalry brigade against the Jiannu infantry, and the first cavalry brigade with me against the Jiannu cavalry!"
Gao Dejie raised his spear and said.
His cavalry on his left flank immediately charged the fleeing Qing infantry, his cavalry on his right flank met the Mongol cavalry attacking from the flank, and with his horse, all 3,000 mounted cavalry urged their horses, and the heavily armored cavalry raised their spears. The waves of the three charges moved forward at the same time, controlling the speed of the war horses to stride neatly, like three walls of steel crashing into the surging Qing cavalry, and then gradually began to accelerate, and the three thousand selected Hequ horses stepped out of thunderous hooves, faster and faster on the empty plain......
Dodor silently watched the two cavalry charging opposite each other.
Three thousand mounted cavalry!
At this moment, his hands even trembled slightly.
It's not that he's scared, but he's also shocked by this momentum, the most powerful force in the Middle Ages! Tiger stripe equipment, Xuanjia Army, Tiefutu, countless prominent names, after experiencing the end of the firearms age, once again appeared on the battlefield in the East.
At this moment, everyone was also looking at these three cavalry lines......
The next moment, the impact began.
The dense line of Zhangba spears instantly pierced the bodies of the elite of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, and the length disadvantage and loose formation of the spears made the Qing army have no resistance in front of the spears that charged on the wall, and almost at the moment of impact, hundreds of Qing soldiers' bodies were penetrated. Immediately afterwards, the cavalry of the Ming army with a weight of more than half a ton of men and horses, with a relative speed of more than 100 miles, collided with the unarmored war horses of the Qing army, and the short Mongolian horses were instantly knocked over in the impact of the heavily armored Hequ horses, and then trampled over. Then the cavalry of the Ming army abandoned the broken spears, pulled out iron maces and smashed the enemy in front, and quickly divided into small teams and gradually formed a small array to rush to the depth of the Qing cavalry.
And behind them, the second wave of the wall rode to arrive.
It was because of the first wave that the Qing cavalry behind was at a loss that they were instantly knocked over by the second wave of cavalry walls, and then the second wave was also dispersed into multiple rhombic formations and began to rush into the depth of the Qing cavalry, and the Qing cavalry that they gave up encountered the third wave in a blink of an eye. And the third wave did not disperse, because they broke through the Qing cavalry formation, they stepped on the corpses of the Qing army everywhere and continued to move forward, and after pulling away from the distance, they all turned, and once again lined up into a riding wall and crashed back, and at this time, those diamond formations were also in the chaos of the Qing army......
Cavalry melee is simple.
Whoever has high protection and strong impact will have an absolute advantage.
The Mongolian horses of the Qing army do have strong endurance, but colliding with the heavily armored Hequ horses is tantamount to a Chihuahua hitting a golden retriever, and the Ming army and cavalry that form a rhombus formation do not need to fight, they only need to maintain the formation and rampage on the battlefield. What's more, these soldiers are all elite in a hundred battles, and it is very easy to smash the cloth armor of the Qing army with an iron shovel in their hands, and the lightest one blow is a broken tendon, while the attack of the Qing army needs to face their plate armor that even covers their faces. Although it is not as good as the European full-body plate armor, the vast majority of the armor of the cavalry of the Ming army is a large piece of iron plate with carburized surface, in fact, the cuirass is the inferior bird gun bullets of the Ming army in the past, and the polished surface is scratched at most.
The onslaught of 3,000 mounted cavalry broke the formation of the Qing cavalry in the blink of an eye.
With a gloomy face, Duoduo snapped his horsewhip.
But at this moment, a piercing whistling whistle swept by, and then a solid bullet not far from him pierced through his own soldiers, instantly sending out a splash of flesh and blood.
He subconsciously turned his head.
Less than half a mile behind him, on the embankment of the Yellow River, a mountain splitting cannon was being erected, and on both sides of these cannons were a steady stream of Ming and Shun troops stepping on the embankment......
