Chapter 515: Infantry Battle

The military order was conveyed, and the Ming army was suddenly mobilized.

"Brothers, Qinggou has a Franc machine and three columns of guns in his hands, pay attention, run as fast as possible, and take one less cannon is one cannon, once the hand-to-hand combat is complete, our task will be completed. This is the first battle between us and the Qing soldiers, if you don't want to be looked down on all the time, everyone will fight with me! After this battle, we can all raise our heads and be people, and return to Huguang in a beautiful way! ”

In front of the Ming armies of Huang and Zhang, Zhang Xianzhen was doing pre-war mobilization, and the selected soldiers had a tragic look on their faces, because they all understood that most of them would fall on the way to the charge.

This is the fate of cannon fodder, they can only blame them for not following the right person, and now if they want to wash away the shame, they must be this cannon fodder, and they must be beautiful.

"Knock knock~"

While Zhang Xianzhen was speaking, the drums of the Ming army were beating loudly, boosting the morale of the soldiers and conveying the order to attack.

"The governor has given the order. Brothers, remember, one is to rush with the general, and the other is to try to keep the formation out of order! Zhang Xianzhen shouted loudly.

Wang Jiye also took a deep breath, raised the war knife in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, prepare!" ”

In the sound of war drums, 5,000 men and horses selected from the 20,000 Qiandong Ming army picked up the cards and swords in unison.

At this time, the drum beat changed, and the flag waved, and Zhang Xianzhen immediately shouted, "Go!" The soldiers behind him suddenly took neat steps, and as they advanced, they rhythmically struck their shields with their swords and made a sonorous sound.

At this time, the Qing soldiers saw the enemy pressing over, all of them were saucer helmets, red tassels, purple flower placket armor, stepping neatly, weapons beating shields, and roaring trumpets in their mouths, the momentum was quite huge.

"The order is that once the enemy enters the firing range, the Franc machine will be released first, and the enemy will shoot with a round of 150 arrows, the enemy will shoot bows and arrows at nearly 100 paces, and the enemy will retreat with a 50 paces of guns, and the pikemen will meet the attack."

Hu Guozhu in the Qing army gave military orders loudly, which seemed ordinary, but he pointed out all the tactics, and he could see that he was an expert.

At this time, the Ming army was almost within the range of the Franc machine, Zhang Xianzhen raised his weapon again and shouted loudly: "Raise the shield!" ”

With a command, the soldier raised his shield and continued to push forward.

"Impact!" Zhang Xianzhen finished shouting the order, and before he took the lead, in an instant, all the 5,000 people who were walking slowly ran up, and their weapons and armor collided with each other.

Almost at the same time, on the artillery carriage in front of the Qing army, the lead was lit, bursts of green smoke rose, sparks roared into the medicine room, and there was a loud "boom", and the iron bullet flew out.

The Qing army did not have flowering shells, this kind of small Franc machine, fired two kinds of shells, iron bullets and shotshots, far to hit iron bullets, close to shoot scattered bullets.

As hundreds of artillery pieces fired at the same time, the iron bullets directly smashed the shield, and the Ming army's originally dense formation suddenly appeared everywhere.

"Put!" These gunners of the Qing army, with an orderly division of labor and quick movements, immediately replaced with a sub-gun, and they were not under the operation of the five loyal troops.

"Killing" the Ming army holding a shield, galloping with all his might, and there was a distance of nearly three hundred steps, and a miserable scream came from time to time beside the soldiers, and the comrades who were running together were smashed by the iron bullets in the next moment, and the comrades were gone.

The soldiers did not have time to see the situation on the left and right, and they had to rush to the front of the Qing army in the shortest possible time.

"Hurry up and change the gun!" "Prepare for the firecracker!" "Put!" In the Qing army, the officers in command urged their subordinates sharply.

Hu Guozhu saw the rushing Ming army, one by one, and when he rushed to the front of the formation, it was estimated that the people were almost dead, and the formation was all scattered, with a sneer on his face.

"Not good!" At this time, Xia Guoxiang suddenly shouted, "Gao Yigong wants to outflank us." ”

Just when the Ming army was halfway through, 7,000 Tusi men and horses broke away from the large array and went directly into the steep mountain forest.

Most of these soldiers and horses are short-dressed and short-coated, and a very small number of them have leather armor and relatively simple equipment, but they are extremely flexible between the mountains and forests, as if thousands of apes are running between the mountains and forests, and the scene is very spectacular.

Hu Guozhu's face sank when he saw this, but he didn't expect that the Ming army would also be wrapped up in such a Tusi man who grew in the mountains and forests.

If he attacks the flanks, he can still deal with them, but he is afraid that they will directly bypass the battlefield and cut off his rear route.

At this time, Hu Guozhu couldn't help but sweat on his forehead, and considered whether he should take advantage of the fact that he was not entangled with the Ming army, and quickly retreated and quickly left the battlefield.

"Burn the mountain, light the fire and burn the mountain." Xia Guoxiang suddenly reminded.

Hu Guozhu reacted, he looked at the direction of the fluttering flag, the wind fueled the fire, and soon the mountain on the left could be set on fire, blocking the roundabout road of the Ming army.

Immediately, the flag waved, and a group of Qing archers left the rear.

"Bird Release!"

With this order, behind the shield wall of the Qing army, a cloud of green smoke rose, and two thousand bird guns put the bird guns on the shield, bang bang a row of bullet rain, immediately retreat the charge, the second column and the bird guns up, then the third column, and the cycle repeatedly.

The projectile hit the shield of the Ming army, crackling, sparks splashed everywhere, and a soldier was hit by several projectiles one after another, his body trembled, and finally fell on his back.

The 5,000 Ming army braved the rain of bullets, and more than 1,000 people had fallen along the way, with losses of more than 30%, but the road was only half walked, and there were still 150 steps left.

Gao Yigong saw that Zhang Xianzhen had attracted the firepower of the Qing army, and the 5,000 Ming army had blocked most of Jue's artillery and birds, and the Ming army had already pressed up, and he said loudly: "Order, Hou Yongjun prepares." ”

On the battlefield, the Ming army paid a tragic price, killing within 100 steps, and the archers in the rear of the Qing army immediately bent their bows and arrows.

"Release" the sky full of arrow feathers flying, which is frightening, but relatively speaking, the damage is the least, because these five thousand Ming troops, as cannon fodder, choose sword and shield hands with strong defense and are not easy to die.

The biggest threat to the Ming army was the Buddha Lang machine that changed to release scattered bombs, and the iron sand came out, splashing a piece, and there were constantly Ming soldiers who were beaten with blood on their faces, wailing and dying.

Fifty paces, after the Ming army paid nearly half of the casualties, they finally survived the fatal distance of more than three hundred steps.

Seeing this, Hu Guozhu pulled out his war knife and shouted: "Artillery, guns, retreat, infantry army, on!" ”

In the Qing army's formation, the order flag waved, the shield soldiers in front of the formation moved the big shield, and the artillery team facing the Ming army immediately dragged the artillery carriage back to the formation, and the large group of bird gunners retreated one after another, and the Qing infantry, who had already been ready to go, roared wildly, and the spear that was originally erected was instantly horizontally ended, and rushed away from the main formation from the side shield.

Once they broke away from the main formation, the shield bearers of the Qing army immediately moved the shields on the side again, the passage was closed, and the shield wall was formed again, and the pikemen who rushed out immediately formed a formation, leaning closely together, forming a forest of guns, and stabbing the Ming army that collided into a hedgehog.

Dozens of paces away, the Ming army could already see the faces of the enemy, they lowered their shields slightly, swept off the arrows tied to them with their weapons, shouted frantically in their mouths, vented their fear, and rushed towards the enemy with no indomitable progress.

The two teams were strangled together, and at this moment, in the midst of the Ming army's array, the drums of war sounded again.

The Qing army was blocked by two melees, but Hu Guozhu and Xia Guoxiang saw it very clearly, and another Ming infantry pressed up.

This time, because most of the firepower of the Qing army was blocked by the fighting men and horses, they did not rush or hurry, and they came at a steady pace.
