Chapter 292: The fight is in full swing
"Boom—"
The thunderous artillery exploded continuously, and the artillery positions of the Qing army also continuously fired cannonballs with large heads, and the shells of both sides collided intensively in the air.
I have to say that the artillery of the Qing army is still very powerful, otherwise it will not defeat the Ming army, since Sun Yuanhua trained Kong Youde, these firearms elites, the Ming army can actually enter the firearms era in advance, but if the country is big, the internal friction will be quite serious, and some advanced things will definitely be corroded, and some rotten things will be left.
Just like now, people's moral bottom line is constantly being corroded, but some bad ideas and people have persevered and become the mainstream of the world, this mainstream is the erosion of a country, the country is collapsing, and no one is saving it, because in the face of the catastrophe, the thoughts and efforts of individuals, and even a small number of people, are insignificant.
The teacher taught us not to follow the crowd, in fact everyone is going with the flow, and no one can resist the general trend.
Those who went against the trend were swept under the water by the waves, turned into muddy water, and fertilized the land.
The reorganized Qing army was much more powerful, braving artillery fire and bullets, and rushed to the front of the Chinese army to shoot at the archers of the Chinese army, and the crossbow archers of the Chinese army, and at the same time rushed into the ranks of pikemen and slaughtered those pikemen.
The Qing army was still very brainy in fighting, and the Ming army was not bad, but what the Ming army lacked was the will to fight, and what it lacked was the ability to learn from battle.
On the front of the Huaxia army, the Qing army suffered heavy losses, mainly the green battalion soldiers and Han army flag soldiers who were repeatedly driven up, those Qing army supervision teams, elite Jurchen archers hid behind the Han army flag, and drove the Han army flag forward with bows and arrows, and the Han army flag had to drive the green camp soldiers to block bullets with their bodies.
"Smack," one of the Guards soldiers panicked after several rounds of fire, and his arquebus was filled with two bullets and a dozen powder packets, so his gun exploded.
"Ahh
There were also two soldiers who were affected by him, and under his influence, the soldiers who changed shifts behind him couldn't come up, because there were not only the three of them lying on the gap but also a shield bearer and pikeman who protected them, those two soldiers were shot by a Han army flag archer who rushed in, and the brave Han army flag archer was obviously a pseudo-Liao man who had been in Liao for more than ten years, in order to repay the master's kindness, or the grace of care, and strive to protect his master, the master is also a Han man, a pseudo-Liao person, The Jurchen Eight Banners with the identity of carrying the flag.
The master was screaming on the ground after being shot in the chest with an arquebus, and he rushed over and quickly fired two arrows, knocking down two soldiers of the Guards Brigade, causing heavy casualties to the Guards Brigade and creating an irreparable gap in the entire ranks.
The musketeers of the next platoon hurriedly crouched down and fired in place, then stepped back and reloaded, and they were replaced by soldiers from another platoon, so that the whole team formed a depression, and the musketeers on both sides lost their flank cover, or the cover was not very strong.
The enemy's archers were able to advance some distance and put pressure on the place.
But the Guards are the Guards, and the soldiers of the Guards must be very elite, and a small flag noticed this situation, and quickly mobilized the soldiers behind him to rush forward, blocking the enemy's bows and arrows with their shields, and the pikemen set up on their shields to prevent the enemy's soldiers from attacking here.
Xiao Qixun adjusted the queue, sent some wounded to drag the corpses to the rear, cleared the place, and then continued to let the arquebusiers concentrate their fire for a round, repelling the enemy's counterattack.
A volley of fire caused a large number of soldiers of the Green Battalion and the Han Army Banner in front of them to suddenly fall, and the corpses even blocked the road.
The entire small flag team rushed forward about ten meters away, and the archers and crossbow archers who followed quickly suppressed and shot at both sides, giving the other small flag teams time to adjust their deployment and keep up in time to fill the gap, so the entire general flag team advanced more than ten meters, like a linkage flywheel, and the other general flags also got the help of this general flag, quickly repelled the enemy, and the team advanced more than ten meters away.
A battalion of the entire Guards Brigade, with thousands of people, pressed the enemy down and pushed back more than a dozen meters, causing unprecedented pressure on the enemy.
At this time, the artillery that had already packed up the enemy's artillery began to pay attention to this, and under the command of an artillery commander who always paid attention to the battlefield, the artillery covered the enemy in front of them with a round of artillery fire.
As a result, their pressure was suddenly reduced a lot, and after quickly adjusting the ranks, the entire battalion rushed forward, suppressing the enemy and retreating fifty meters away.
The commander of the artillery regiment quickly ordered a company of 9-pounder guns to pull up six guns, follow the battalion, and then quickly spread out behind the battalion and bombard the Qing troops on both sides.
Facing them was the green battalion of the Qing army led by Ma Bao, he had five thousand green battalion soldiers in his hands, and seeing that his entire battalion was so embarrassed by thousands of people killed by a battalion of the Huaxia Army Guards Brigade, he roughly estimated that five thousand people and horses, since it was opened, there were less than two thousand people left, gasped, and immediately retreated with people.
As soon as he withdrew, the entire green battalion collapsed, and the remaining two thousand men and horses ran away with their legs.
The green battalion they supported behind also collapsed, and the Han army flag that was supervised next to them also collapsed when they were wrapped in it.
Fan Shaozu covered his face, this is the second time he has collapsed today.
He was carrying the Han Army Flag, but the Han Army Flag had already taken over the Green Battalion troops in several places, facing the Huaxia Army Guards Brigade head-on.
On that side, Heluo would face the Hu Kui troops who were attracting them to attack.
At the beginning, Hu Kui's troops were actually five or six miles away from Zhang Qiang's camp, and five or six miles away from the city wall where Heluohui and them were arrayed, and when the Qing army from Tan Taibu and Jinling collapsed and retreated to both sides, Heluohui pressed up, he led the army to fight while retreating, and after retreating to the vicinity of the camp, he passed through the camp and attracted the pursuit of Heluohui, and when Tan Taibu bypassed and met with Heluohui, Zhang Qiang's guard brigade had already chased Tan Taibu and Jinling Qing army to reach his back not far behind.
Hu Kui moved to the flank with his troops, protecting the flank of the Guards Brigade, and when Feng Wuyu's militia troops protecting Du Ge came up and Zhao Siyang's artillery brigade arrived, the two sides had actually formed a head-on situation.
Hu Kui against the Qing army of Heluohui, the Guards Brigade against Fan Shaozu and Ma Baobu who reinforced Tan Tai's department, Feng Wuyu against the Qing army in Jinling, Azig led the Qing army to raid the Du Ge Department and the artillery brigade that rushed in, but was repelled by the cavalry sent by Feng Wuyu and Zhang Qiang.
Then the Azig division stayed behind the Qing army in Jinling to rest and regroup.
Gushan Ezhen Adai, who was standing beside Azig, said to Azig: "Brother Forty can't fight like this anymore, although our Jurchen warriors have suffered little losses, but the losses of the Green Battalion and the Han Army Banner are too great, we have to retreat, and the enemy is pressing up." ”
Azig looked at the chaotic battlefield and said with palpitations: "Why are the firearms of the Ming army so powerful, they are much more powerful than our firearms. I'm afraid that only Kong Youde, these Han military banners, can resist. ”
Ah Dai said anxiously: "Oh, forty brothers, that's not the Ming Army, it's the Jinhua Righteous Army, now it's called the Huaxia Army, don't you know, they have broken away from the Ming Army and become a new camp, they are rebels, not only rebel against the Ming Army, but also rebel against us." ”
Feng Wuyu watched the guards rush up, but the progress on his side slowed down, and he couldn't help but be anxious, "Call the artillery battalion commander to come, let them use the artillery to open the way, push the artillery up, coax me, the cavalry assembled, ready to follow me to charge, we must follow up, we can't slow down, otherwise the guards brigade will be attacked by the Qing cavalry on both sides." ”
"Knock knock, knock knock." The drummer on Feng Wuyu's side struck more rapidly, urging the attack in front to increase its intensity.
The battalion commanders who fought in front of Feng Wuyu on this side personally led the team to pounce, the bow and arrow were shot out like rain, the bow and arrow were crossbow arrows, and the crossbow arrows were arquebus fire, and the arquebus was now shooting due to the quality and proficiency of the soldiers, and it could not make up for the firepower projection gap of such a large battle, so the proportion of archers and crossbow arrows in many infantry teams was still very large, they mainly carried shields and swords on their waists, but they still carried bows and crossbow arrows on their bodies.
The method of operation is to make up the firing gap of the arquebus unit, and the main fire output is the arquebus, but there are too many enemies, and the arquebus cannot occupy all the time to repel the enemy.
This time, the Jurchens and Mongols of the Qing army were mainly warlords, using their usual combat methods, driving the Han soldiers who were Han soldiers in the Han army banner and green battalion to consume the enemy's forces and bows and arrows, and then using Jurchen warriors to assault, cavalry to charge, or to pursue the enemy.
This was the first time that Zhang Qiang led the reorganized Huaxia Army to fight with the main force of the Qing army, and it was still a general battle, so both sides had no experience.
Zhang Qiang sent a conservative formation of three musketeers plus sword and shield soldiers and pikemen to protect him, and did not use all musketeers to attack the enemy's combat method, Zhang Qiang had already considered that in the face of the Qing army's mobility ability, the arquebus could not block the enemy's assault.
As a result, many teams have already fought the enemy in close to hand combat.
The hand-to-hand combat enemy has the advantage of strength, and the Jurchens' combat effectiveness at this time is still very powerful, especially in hand-to-hand combat, their armored soldiers wear leather armor, chain mail, and even three layers of cotton armor plus a layer of chain mail for heavy defense, in the face of such white-armored warriors, the spearmen and sword and shield soldiers of the Jinhua Righteous Army still suffer a little, because the knives in their hands, no matter how sharp the guns are, but when they cut at the enemy, it takes several knives to open the enemy's tortoise shell and kill and injure the enemy, and they have Zhang Qiang's simplified breastplate, and the armor of important parts that cannot resist the hammer blow of the enemy's third or fourth sword, so that the gap in defense falls.
The Jurchens are brave, and the current Green Battalion soldiers are also more courageous than the elite troops of the Ming Army, and the Han Army Banner is the elite of a hundred battles, especially Zhang Qiang is facing the elite Qing Army troops led by Azig who fought all over the Ming Dynasty in the northwest and the Ming Dynasty in the southeast.
So the fight was particularly fierce.
