Chapter 575 Jin Shenghuan defeated the Eight Banners
Jin Shenghuan rode a horse and stood in the middle of the army, watching the Eight Banners rushing in two directions with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai, his eyes were cold, without the slightest fear.
This will be his world-famous battle, he has already discussed with his subordinates the strategy of facing the enemy, and he also expected that the Qing cavalry will inevitably attack the two ribs.
Using cavalry to hit the infantry formation head-on, only a fool would do that, the Manchus can occupy most of the world, naturally it is impossible to be so stupid, otherwise the Manchus would have died under the spear of Rulin.
At this time, the Qing soldiers were as expected by the Ming army, and the Ming army acted according to the countless drills before.
Hundreds of artillery wagons lined up, the black muzzles of the Franc machine were aimed at the incoming enemy, the ammunition had been filled, the gunners were holding torches, and the officers were staring at the speeding enemy horses, and the flag was raised high in their hands.
Behind the gun carriage, four columns of pikemen held large guns nearly two feet long, this kind of guns were specially used in formations, usually a person could not dance, they pestled the tail of the gun on the ground, the cold light of the spear head raised, in front of the formation of a gun forest fan, and the cavalry was afraid to walk.
Although the pikemen knew that the cavalry was not coming at them, they still tightened their grip on the spear with great care.
At this time, the command flag in the formation waved, and the archers and gunners who were in large numbers suddenly turned in place, they were facing the front, but now they were divided into two phalanxes, turned to face the two wings, and then opened their bows and arrows, put the medicine, and waited for the enemy cavalry to attack.
On the plain, the iron hooves of the red flag stepped on the ground, the whole ground was trembling, and the cavalry was like two red-hot iron streams, crashing into the Ming army.
"Franc machine, fire!" The general of the Ming army roared, and the green tendons on his neck jumped.
No matter how many casualties can be caused, as long as the soldiers of the Ming army hear the earth-shattering cannon sound and look at the green smoke rising in front of the battle, they can boost their morale, which is more refreshing than the rapid war drums.
The artillery fired the first round of artillery fire in two directions, and after the gunners finished firing one shot, they immediately reset, replaced the guns, and quickly fired the second shot, which was not much slower than the bow and arrow.
Here we have to admire the wisdom of the Han people, although the Ming military firearms are inferior to Xiyi in quality, but in terms of variety and innovation, they are definitely more than Xiyi.
The Franc machine is usually equipped with four guns, and in a few moments, the four cannons are fired, and when the cannonballs bring up gunpowder smoke and roar out from the muzzles, the soldiers can even see the black cannonballs draw an arc in the air and fall into the enemy group.
When the cannonballs smashed on the ground and the earth was raised among the Qing cavalry, the Ming soldiers suddenly shouted in unison and cheered.
The cavalry of the Qing army lay on their horses, trembling and urging their horses to rush violently, they knew in their hearts that although they avoided the front and could take fewer shells, it did not mean that there was no threat, and the archers and gunners in the Ming array had turned their faces, and the real deadly attack was coming soon.
The Qing army did not rush to the front, the damage caused by the shells was limited, after dozens of horses were lifted off the horses and trampled into flesh, the cavalry detoured back to the two wings of the Ming army, and the Ming cavalry, who were supposed to protect the two wings, saw the Qing cavalry rushing over, but turned the horse's head and retreated to the rear of the big formation.
In terms of cavalry, the Ming army is indeed too far behind the Qing army, especially the Ming army in the south, which is indeed incomparable. If you attack head-on when the forces are at a disadvantage, I am afraid that if you hedge one round, you will have to reimburse most of it.
The sound of hooves roared, and it quickly pulled the distance between the two armies.
The cavalry of the Eight Banners has rich field experience and also understands the equipment of the Ming army, and when they raid from the side, they only need to break through the rain of bullets of 200 paces and the bow and arrow of 150 paces, and then they will be victorious.
The ground was trembling, and the iron hooves of the Eight Banners trampled on the earth, like a monstrous wave, hitting head-on.
"Bird fire, let's go!" The shouts of the officers rose one after another in the Ming army.
Three columns of gunners lit the arques with their scythes, the first column raised their guns, the sergeants pulled the trigger, the flames on the arquebuses lit the medicine room, and a cloud of smoke rose from the canopy, and thousands of lead bullets whistled out of the barrels and fired at the enemy horsemen at a speed that was difficult to catch with the naked eye.
The cavalry that rushed to the front fell in response, and the war horse rose into the air, shook off the knight, and slammed on the ground, and the cavalry rolled and screamed, but it could not stop the impact of the Eight Banners.
From the forty-fourth year of Wanli, the old slave rebelled, and it has been more than 30 years at this time. Aren't they clear about the means of the Ming army? When you rush through this section, the other party will immediately hug your head and run away.
"One hundred and fifty steps, open the bow, put!" The shouts of the officers rose one after another in the Ming army.
Hearing the command, when the bird gunners took turns shooting, the following rows of archers bent their bows in unison, drawing the bow body round, and pointing the arrows diagonally to the sky.
I only heard the sound of the bowstring, and suddenly ten thousand arrows were fired in unison, and a strong wind blew from the arrow rain, and the Eight Banners soldiers rushing from both sides fell off their horses under the double blow of bird guns and bows and arrows.
As soon as the arrow was fired, the archers took the arrow again, stretched their bows and loosened the strings, and the arrows rose into the air with uniform movements.
The Wuwei Left Army, in the face of thousands of cavalry swarming in formation, did not panic, did not mess, stuck to their posts, was loyal to their duties, and Jin Shenghuan's men and horses became an elite division.
At this time, these attacks were also expected by the Qing cavalry, although the impact was on the side, but the three arrows of the enemy had to be faced all the time.
Losses are inevitable, they are not afraid, they can bear it, as long as they can collide with it, with weak defenses on the flanks, they can prepare for slaughter.
The Eight Banners withstood the pressure, one after the other, and the Ming army's birds, bows and arrows continued to shoot, and I don't know how many cavalry fell to the ground.
In the infantry of the Qing army, Manda Hai saw the red flag under the dense lead bullets and arrows of the Ming army, and the cavalry fell to the ground like jujubes, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
There are few Manchurians, and the regent has specially issued an order that the Eight Banners of Manchuria must not go into battle until the last resort.
The banner owner of the Zhenghong Banner is his father Daishan, he is now a cub selling Ye Tian is not distressed, as long as he can achieve the goal of outflanking Jin Shenghuan, he is not unacceptable to suffer more casualties.
But at this moment, seeing that the red flag had already entered within 100 steps, the cavalry rushing in front suddenly fell in pieces, and thousands of rockets suddenly burst out in front of the Ming army, but it was the Ming army that rushed arrows with a swarm of bees and hundreds of tigers.
Seeing that it was about to collide with the phalanx of the Ming army, whether it could cut off the enemy and outflank it again, at this time, the cavalry suddenly suffered huge losses, and the Ming cavalry that was cowering in the rear also met it.
The Eight Banners cavalry still collided with the Ming army's large array, and the sword and shield protected by the Ming army's flank were immediately knocked away, and the cavalry poured into the formation, but the follow-up was weak, because in addition to the hundreds of cavalry rushing in front of the formation, the cavalry behind was broken by the Ming cavalry sideways.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Ming army that was rushed away immediately filled the gap again.
The cavalry outside the formation was intercepted by the cavalry of the Ming army, lost the speed of the horse, and the cavalry into the battle was too few, under the command of Jin Shenghuan, surrounded by the soldiers of the left of the guard, so that the long soldiers poked the horse knights, so that the archers and gunners of the short axes and knives were specially cut off the legs of the horses, and they were killed in a moment.
Seeing that the cavalry had missed and the outflanking failed, Man Dahai was also very decisive, and immediately knew that his mistake could be corrected, and shouted: "Give the order, and withdraw quickly with the red flag." ”
However, before his words fell, a panic came from the south of the Qing army's array.
