Chapter 342: Left Wing
"Woo......"
The third conch sound rolled in, and all the Qing troops roared in unison.
Until now, they are still a little confused, how could they be like this, how could the Qing soldiers have no power to fight back in the field? They don't want to believe it, they are arrogant, and their psychological inertia makes them unacceptable.
Hearing the Conch, their eyes turned red again, and the brave, ferocious, and murderous aura in their hearts was stimulated again.
They charged with the sound of conch, believing that as long as they rushed within the killing distance of the bow and arrow, the Nanban on the opposite side would not be their opponent. They believe that after three snails and three calls, and three calls and three advances, they will once again defeat the enemy in front of them.
They roared and charged, especially the shield carts on the second layer rushed desperately, and the yellow flag vests at the rear of the large array went to the left flank.
Zhang Chugong looked at it kindly, and said hurriedly: "Xianggong, the Tartar vest is going to the left flank, it seems to be detrimental to that side." ”
Yang He also saw it clearly, and shouted: "Order, let Yang Tianfu on the left flank pay attention to vigilance, and the sharp troops of the Chinese army are ready to support at any time." ”
The three general and second class armies of the left flank were arrayed, Yang Tianfu's eighth general, Yang Han's eleventh general, and Yang Zuwen's twelfth general, Yang He arranged for Yang Tianfu to command in a unified manner, and immediately ordered at this time.
Zhang Chugong gave a loud order, and immediately arranged for the herald to go to the left flank.
On the front, the tartars with yellow flags rushed up in a frenzy, and they were fired five rounds of guns, and although they were covered by shield vehicles, they still suffered heavy casualties.
They had more than 500 men in 10 shield carts, 200 armored soldiers, and 300 unarmored bannermen, and rushed to 30 paces, and more than half of the more than 100 people in the five shield carts in front had already suffered casualties. There were more than 400 people in the five shield carts behind, and the losses were as high as 100 people, many of whom were still elite archers and armor soldiers.
But when they heard the sound of conchs, they charged frantically, and many of them even jumped out from behind the shield carts, trying to get closer. Although the following car has cover, the forward speed is too slow, if you let go and charge, you can rush into twenty steps within a few breaths, and enter the killing range of the arrow throwing axe.
In particular, the infantry armor of the front shield car supervision battle, with a heavy shield in one hand and a big knife in the other, was covered in blood, and rushed to the front with a roar.
Minister Yang's eyes widened angrily: "The Tartars are looking for death!" ”
He shouted, "Prepare the firecracker." ”
At this time, the first row of gunners had just finished fighting, squatting to load the cartridge ammunition, and the second row of gunners stood up neatly, aiming ahead with dark and heavy firearms, waiting for the order of the swan.
Minister Yang counted the time of the second array, and the arrows came like flying locusts, and from time to time through the smoke that did not dissipate, they shot fiercely on the bodies of the soldiers.
There were muffled grunts from many people, and even some people were like hedgehogs, and many Tartars had rushed to more than twenty paces, and the arrows they shot were getting more and more fierce and dense. There were even a lot of shots on everyone's throat armor, iron masks, rubbing and sliding away with a sharp voice.
Fortunately, at this distance, the Tartar arrows still could not break the armor, and the soldiers kept their heads down as much as possible, using their helmets to protect their eyes.
There were also some throwing axes and iron bones, this distance was already quite powerful, and a few soldiers screamed, and were smashed on the helmet and chest by the iron bones, spitting blood and rolling on the ground.
But they could only stand dry, waiting for orders, and the eyes inside the iron mask grew deeper and darker.
Suddenly, Minister Yang shouted: "Shoot! ”
The trumpeter beside him blew the sharp sound of a swan, and a violent salvo fired, bursting with firelight and gunsmoke, and the charging Qing army overturned a large area with a brush, and the blood splattered like a fog tide.
Many Qing soldiers with yellow flags rolled in pools of blood and screamed with exhaustion, and the fierce volleys of guns almost knocked them out of the target of the shield car.
He spurted blood and his eyes were wide open, unable to believe the end of his fate.
The first row of gunners stood up again, and at this time, the artillery exploded repeatedly, and the sharp shells hit the second-tier shield carts that had been pushed to the front, and one by one they penetrated, and the bloody mist stumps behind the shield carts exploded.
Through the smoke of the artillery, there was a howl like a wolf and a pig behind the shield cart, and they finally rushed to twenty paces, throwing a large number of throwing axes and javelins, accompanied by many whistling heavy arrows.
Many of the first row of gunners were shot and fell, and a large number of iron bones fell on them, throwing axes cut into their armor, and even many heavy javelins were projected, piercing their bodies.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of soldiers who stood up fell.
But the rest still gritted their teeth and waited for the order, waiting for the sound of the swan horn as the army formation opened fire in unison.
"Shoot!" Minister Yang roared.
The sharp swan sound was accompanied by the chorus of fire, the thunderous explosion was accompanied by the continuous firelight, and the thick white smoke rose, and even the cold wind could not blow the dense smoke away.
The shield cart that was pushed to twenty paces was all pierced by the sharp guns, and the blood mist behind the shield cart was full of mist, and the sound of many heavy bodies falling to the ground was earth-shattering, and they ate seven rows of guns, which was unbearable.
Behind the shield cart, some of the escort Pashku rushed out with a howl, followed by the remnants of the armor soldiers, who spared no physical strength and were desperate to rush up to melee combat.
"Ten thousand enemies!" Minister Yang howled.
The 39 bombardiers lit the fuse of the 10,000 enemies, and the "zizi" burned, and threw the tartars rushing forward one by one, and even many of the 10,000 enemies were thrown far behind the shield cart at 20 paces.
After the 10,000 enemies surrendered, everyone squatted down, including the spearmen, Minister Yang and others behind.
The explosion and damage of 10,000 enemies do not distinguish between the enemy and me, they can kill a few steps away, but some bullets fly up to 100 steps and still have lethality, and if you are not careful, you will even blow up your own people.
One by one, the black and heavy 10,000 enemies fell, the explosion of "boom", accompanied by the howl of ghosts and wolves, scarlet blood and minced flesh rose in the smoke, and even some distant yellow flag tartars were covered with blood mist, but they were hit by the flying bullets after the explosion.
Several of the Pashku who had been thrown by the enemy were even more shattered, and their stumps and severed arms were accompanied by broken armor and weapons.
Behind the shields, there were also different screams, broken splinters and sawdust fluttering, mixed with bloody and scorched billowing smoke, and in the smoke, I don't know how many Tartars were left.
"Long Contradiction Array!" Minister Yang shouted.
"Tiger!" The shield hands in front of him roared in unison, holding a nine-pound rattan card, and stood up, each holding a goose-winged knife, flat on top of his shield.
The spearmen in the back also stepped forward, and there was a neat sound of "bang", and the spears either poked out from between the gaps in the shields, or from the heads and shoulders of the shields on all sides, and two rows of cold spears were facing the Tartars who were already few in front.
There were also winged tigers who stepped forward, crowding everyone around, ready to bombard the incoming Tartars at close range.
……
The left flank army formation leaned against the edge of Huangchao Lake, although the lake had already frozen ice, but the shore of the lake was steep and difficult to climb, Yang Tianfu and the others were not worried that the Tartars would step on the ice.
Moreover, they have their own reliance, that is, a large number of winged tiger fighters at the headquarters.
The three general and second class armies defending here also had seventy-eight people, including the captain and the guard, all of whom used swords, shields, wings, and tiger guns.
They didn't use 10,000 enemies, after all, the big shield was too high, and if they were not careful, they would throw it on the shield and bounce back, killing and injuring their own people.
And there is a shield in the way, and I can't see whether it blows up the enemy, I don't know how far the enemy throws it, and if it is thrown close, even my own shield will be blown up. The large shield of the second-class army can block bows and arrows, but it cannot block bullets, whether it is bullets or bullets of 10,000 enemies.
At this time, the dense heavy shields of the military formation were lined up into a solid wall, all of which were more than one person high, heavy and thick, and painted with a hideous beast pattern of teeth and claws. There is a column of shield walls, not to mention that the outside Tartars can't see the situation inside the military formation, that is, the inside of the military formation has to look outside, and it is also very unclear.
After all, the gap between the shields is small, and the smoke is filled after the bullet is fired.
Fortunately, there are some falcon guns of the artillery team sandwiched between the shield walls, and you can peek through the guard plate to see some things outside the Tartar.
The artillery team also has 10 artillery pieces here, including two No. 2 Buddha Wolf machine guns with 10 or 2 projectiles, which are under the unified command of Shi Fu'er, the deputy of the artillery team.
At this time, the left flank army formation was under the unified command of Yang Tianfu, Yang Han, Yang Zuwen and others followed behind him, at the shield in front, two rows of gunners squatting, not far behind them, there were two rows of spears standing with spears in hand, and one hand holding a leather shield.
They were all second-class soldiers, only the officers and veterans had iron helmets and iron armor, and the new recruits only had winter felt and gray cotton armor, but their casualties were less than those of the frontal army.
The heavy arrows shot by the Tartars, the iron bones of the throwing axes, etc., were effectively blocked by the big shield, and the weapons flying from the big shield, as long as they were careful to dodge, would not be a big problem.
Two rows of gunners hid behind large shields, taking turns firing from between gaps, and the smoke was so thick that it was difficult for arrows to hit them. Besides, when the Tartars are close, they can still crouch and fight, and the arrows are more difficult to hit.
Yang Tianfu has been warned by the Chinese army, and immediately raised his vigilance, he has no merit, that is, he is very loyal to his duties, and the orders from Yang Xianggong are all carried out one by one.
They looked from behind an artillery guard, the front periphery of the "tuk-tuk" sound continued, on the guard plate of the artillery, on the big shield next to it, the Tartars continued to shoot heavy arrows nailed, and some flying axes and iron bones were thrown, smashing the major shields with a huge sound.
The northwest wind was blowing coldly, and it still couldn't disperse the white smoke that rose all at once, Yang Tianfu and the others saw that the first layer of the Tartar shield car had already been unable to move forward, and at this time, it was the second layer of the shield car that rushed up frantically. Unlike the blue tartar armor of the previous days, they also wore yellow armor with red trim.
Suddenly, in the smoke, there seemed to be some shadows shaking in the shields' workshops, and they rushed to the side of the military formation, and the deputy general Li Jian shouted: "There are Tartar cavalry. ”
Yang Tianfu's eyes widened, and sure enough, there were many shadows, and he didn't know how many horses rushed from the shield workshop, and their hooves rumbled, rolling up a piece of residual snow, and they hit the shield wall on this side of the military formation.
Yang Tianfu was taken aback, could it be that the Tartars wanted to use horses to charge into battle? The impact of the war horse is indeed incomparable to manpower, and if they rush up, no matter how strong the shield array is, it will be rushed away by their horses.
At this time, the musketeers had just been fired, and unlike the front, the left flank was still firing at the traditional interval of ten breaths, and the artillery reloading time was about the same as that of the muskets, and it was during this time that the Tartar cavalry rushed in.
Yang Tianfu hurriedly shouted: "The winged tiger hits, the shield array resists, and the spearman comes forward!" ”
After all, he has also exercised, and he has a countermeasure reaction at the first time, and most war horses are afraid of sharp things, unless they are specially trained fierce horses. As long as the spear is poked out, the Tartars' cavalry momentum will stop, and the enemy can be broken with a long spear and a fire gun.
At his command, some of the Winged Tiger Men immediately rushed behind the artillery guards, and the two rows of spearmen also stepped back, and the two rows of spearmen stepped forward, and the spears poked out from between the shields, like two rows of cold fangs. Each heavy shield hand is also in the open frame position, each with eight steps, and the body is desperately standing up to meet the impact that will be faced.
Yang Tianfu was a little relieved, and when he looked out again, the dense tartar ride was not far away, and suddenly his eyes widened: "This is?" ”
I saw more than a dozen riders in front of me, and suddenly ropes appeared in my hands, dancing "suddenly" in the wind, and something on it turned with it, and the cold light flashed, and it was all iron hooks.
Yang Tianfu shouted: "Hit these Tartars!" ”
There was a thud, the winged tiger guns opened fire, a large amount of smoke sprayed, some Tartars fell off their horses screaming, some Tartars were shot, but still a few knights with iron hooks rushed forward.
In the blink of an eye, Suo Hun and the others rushed to a few steps in front of the shield array, he led sixteen horsemen to set out in the blue flag vest, and only six or seven horsemen remained after a bullet, and even the share of Shkusina was shot and fell off the horse, and was trampled into meat by the horses behind, but fortunately finally rushed to it.
They skilfully pulled their horses and swept them on both sides, and at the same time the ropes in their hands flew out, and the iron hooks and claws on them were hooked exactly to the edges of each shield, and there was a clanging sound.
Generally, the big shield is surrounded by edging and reinforced, nailed with thick iron hardwood, and the big shield of the Xin'an Army is no exception.
The big shield hand of the second class army only guarded against the impact from the outside in, and did not think of the pulling force from the inside out, and the force was really strong, so he heard the sound of a bang, and several large shields were overturned, and even the big shield hand behind him, and even the people with shields rolled to the ground.
Yang Tianfu was stunned, and listened to the roar of the horse's hooves, and many war horses rushed behind him, and the horse's back was full of bulging armor and yellow flag vests nailed with dense copper nails. They are more elite than ordinary armored soldiers, murderous, and full of tyrannical and bloodthirsty ferocity.
They roared and rushed at them, and when the first few horsemen rode straight to the side of the gap in the shield, they struck them with men and horses.
Their horses were strong, and they were wearing more than 50 pounds of two-layer heavy armor, they were strong and heavy, and there were continuous shield hands, and the spearmen behind them were knocked over by them, and the horses' hooves stepped on unceremoniously, and there was a terrible scream.
Several horses slammed into each other, and there was a loud noise, and the shield hand toppled over, and the gap in the shield array was opened wider.
Then many of them dismounted in vests with yellow flags, each of them took a large bow in their hands, and put all kinds of arrows on the bowstring for close shooting.
Heavy arrows roared, like the black lines of death, constantly hitting the second-class soldiers behind the gap.
Not to mention that many second-class armies only have pure cotton armor, and the protection is far inferior to iron armor, even if there is iron armor, this distance is also penetrated.
The arrows of the special vests are vicious, and they shoot at people's faces and throats, and the crescent moon arrows and gear arrows they use for close shooting are fierce and ruthless, as long as they are shot, they will lose their strength in an instant, and if they do not treat the wound quickly, they will soon bleed too much and die.
This is what Xu Guangqi said: "Within five steps, shoot the ribs of the face, and every shot will be killed." ”
There was a scream, and a large number of arrows fell from the spearmen, and most of them were shot through their bodies by heavy Tartar arrows, and many were shot in the throat, in front of the door, rolling on the snow and only struggling and convulsing.
Even with the tremor of the bowstring, the more Tartar vests dismounted and shot fiercely, the more soldiers fell, threw themselves on the snow, blood flowed out, quickly froze in the icy air, and the pungent smell of blood spread.
Some of the vests were still under the cover of bows and arrows, holding shields, goose-winged knives, short-handled axes, hammers, iron whips and other weapons, howling and rushing into the gap, hand-to-hand combat, slashing and slashing.
There are also many horse armors that do not dismount, they are armed with tiger guns, pick knives, eight banner spears and other long weapons, with the advantage of the horse's momentum, roaring into the gap, trampling and colliding, many people viciously trampled under their horses' hooves, and the weapons in their hands pierced one body after another.
Yang Tianfu's eyes were opened to the maximum, seeing the chaos of the military formation, a large number of soldiers were killed and wounded, and the pungent smell of blood even reached his nose, which was the blood of his brothers.
He roared, "Kill the Tartars!" ”
"Kill!" Behind him, the deputy general Li Jian, the reserve general Deng Luan, the eleventh general Yang Han, the twelfth general Yang Zuwen, the deputy general of their general general, the reserve general general, and the captains and guards of each team all followed behind Yang Tianfu, holding swords, shields, wings, and tiger guns, and rushed towards the gap in the Tartar desperately.
The winged tiger guns in their hands exploded, knocking over the yellow flag vests of the horsemen riding horses and holding shields to the ground.
They fought fiercely, slashing fiercely with goose-winged knives in their hands, hacking the murderous Tartars to the ground.
They fought desperately, hand-to-hand, and also suffered the key blow of the yellow flag vest, and the locust-like arrows came, the roots were deadly, and the arrows were vicious.
There were also javelins, flying axes, and iron bones that split their heads and covered their faces, and a lot of them were hit, and Yang Zuwen's helmet was smashed to pieces by several iron bones, and half of his skull was dented, and even a few deadly javelins hit him, and the rods came out through the armor, and blood stained his armor and cloak red.
Li Jian, Deng Luan, and Yang Han were shot like hedgehogs, rolling in pools of blood unconscious, and even the armor of the three of them was inlaid with a few flying axes.
Yang Tianfu rushed to the front, with the most arrows on his body, from his face to his throat to his heart, densely packed with heavy arrows that penetrated through his armor.
He had been shot with at least five or six javelins, and his armor was stained red.
He fell to the ground with a big mouthful of blood, and faintly heard shouts of killing from behind, it was the arrival of the sharp troops.
He was relieved in his heart, and finally the army was not lost, and at the same time, his consciousness fell into a blur, and scenes flashed: ordinary farmers, helpless fleeing, Du Wei joined Yang Xianggong's team, happy to worried. Yang Xianggong is heavy, but unfortunately he is thin, but as a general, he is more and more difficult.
Not to be left behind, he worked hard, and his wife encouraged him and comforted him, saying that she was satisfied with her current achievements.
But he could always catch a glimpse of his wife's worried eyes in the back, in fact, she also minded.
"I did my best." Yang Tianfu sighed in his heart.
He has no fear of death, he has fled all the way, there are too many people who have died, and he feels that he has earned it if he can live until now.
What worries him is the wife and children at home, but fortunately, Yang Xianggong will not treat them badly.
His heart was relieved, and the final picture was fixed on his wife's wrinkled face, she was no longer young, even her hair was quite white, but she had been with each other for many years, and in Yang Tianfu's heart, his wife was still so beautiful.
