Chapter 213: The Battle of the Left and the Right Hills
Because of the large number of personnel, the front of the ladder with a sharp blade continued to rush to the gate of the village to attack the mountain, the back or long shot, or to the gate of the wall continue to let go, for a while the arrows rained, although the loyal army on the gate of the wall occasionally threw stones, arrows and guns to fight back, but was completely suppressed by the green battalion soldiers and horses under the mountain.

Seeing that the forward soldiers and horses were about to climb the mountain, suddenly 4 or 5 tiger squat cannons were launched on the cottage and fired at the soldiers and horses of the green battalion who were attacking the mountain.
Condescendingly, coupled with the fact that the scattered shells landed in the back of the projectile, each shell landed and injured a large area.
The green battalion soldiers will be shocked, everyone has been fighting for a long time, but they never expected that the other party would reserve such a big killing weapon, Bai Yongfu also shouted loudly, and ordered the soldiers to push the No. 3 Franc cannon, pushing the tiger squat cannon to fight back, but in this era, the artillery is very slow to fire, and it is extremely difficult to aim, so it can't solve the problem at all.
In the end, Bai Yongfu sent more than 200 crossbowmen with strong bows to shoot from a distance to support the attacking soldiers.
The bow and crossbow generally have two ways of long-range shooting and close-range shooting, long-range shooting does not need to be aimed, and the arrows used are also lighter, showing a 45-degree angle towards the shooting direction and pulling the bowstring to shoot arrows, and the crossbow is shot into the air and then gradually falls under the action of gravity to kill distant targets.
Zhang Zhaozhong once verified that the maximum firing distance of the bow and crossbow can reach 150 meters, and the British longbow can reach 180 meters.
In the past, although Yao Huang and Liukou also had some good marksmanship, there were too few people who could handle strong bows, and they rarely encountered such a combat method.
Now the loyal army is facing the Manchu green battalion soldiers and horses, most of its soldiers are the Ming army strong brigade reorganized, each army is good at archery generation, Bai Yongfu in the annoyance, command the archers to the top of the mountain to shoot long.
However, the Green Battalion attacked from the bottom up, which also greatly limited the effect of long-range shooting, although so, it still caused too much trouble for the loyal army.
The two sides fought back and forth for an hour, and when they saw that the green battalion soldiers were about to attack the mountain gate, suddenly the groves on the ridges on both sides actually killed hundreds of people.
They suddenly rushed down the corn-breaking slope, and they were agile, and they didn't worry about falling or anything on such a rough path.
When the two sides were fifty or sixty paces apart, some of them stopped, and under the command of one general after another, they fired a platoon of guns at the crossbowmen of the green battalion behind them.
The sound of gunfire was constant, and some others rushed into the formation, first more than a dozen people kept throwing the earth-shaking thunder, and more rushed into the formation in the aftermath of the explosion of the earth-shaking thunder to attack the unsuspecting crossbowmen and musketeers.
Unlike the Loyal Army, the Green Battalion's crossbowmen and bird-gunners do not have much defense and need infantry protection on the battlefield.
Suddenly attacked, the crossbowmen behind were shaken, and some began to retreat, but it was already too late, hundreds of killer soldiers would rush into the crossbow formation, and the tall and strong wolf-backed wolf-wrenched hands held up two-and-a-half-foot wolf whirls and continued to stab and provoke.
The wolf is like a spear in the West, about two feet and eight feet long, and the head is all blades more than a foot wide, and it may be scratched if you are not careful.
The soldiers in the back pounced like tigers into the flock of sheep and attacked the many crossbowmen who threw away their bows and crossbows in a panic and drew their short knives behind them to fight back.
In the era of cold weapons, there were many practitioners in various places, and since everyone entered the barracks, in addition to receiving queue discipline training and strict combat training, they have practiced bowing for two months.
Today's squatting is not like the ancient way of separating the two sides like volleyball, but like Western rugby, the hands and feet are used to play together, and everyone has fun on the field at the same time, but also exercises everyone's ability to cooperate and coordinate.
After two months of kickball training, the various departments have long been familiar with various offensive routines, and in the attack, it can be said that there is defense and offense, and the combination of offense and defense is far from being comparable to other soldiers and horses.
The crossbowmen were mostly equipped with short knives and crossbows, and their defensive capabilities were already very weak, and they suddenly saw more than a hundred soldiers on their sides, and they had already scattered one by one, although some tried their best to resist and hope to wait for reinforcements, but most of them were crushed at the touch of a button, and they did not dare to fight at all.
Seeing that the back road was broken, the Qing soldiers and horses in front were even more defeated, not to mention the soldiers who were killed and wounded, but because of the rugged road, there were not a few who fell to death and were injured.
In the panic, Bai Yongfu led his troops to respond, but the responding soldiers and horses were still tired by the rout, and they were constantly defeated by the loyal and righteous army, until finally Nikan led the main force to kill and gradually retreated.
Looking at the corpses thrown out of the mountain, Nikan raised his horsewhip and whipped Bai Yongfu, scolding: "You idiot, what is the reason for causing our army to be defeated and destroying my family's military prestige? ”
Bai Yongfu was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, his head pounded like garlic and said: "Baylor, it's not that the last general doesn't work hard to attack the cottage, the other party is too weird, such a small cottage actually lurks with such soldiers and horses, and there are ambushes in the woods on both sides.
On the battlefield, the combat methods of the loyal and righteous army are too strange, with the killer team in front and the musket team in the back, one by one on such a rugged mountain road.
The last general said frankly that even the soldiers and horses of Guanning would be difficult to do, but today the loyal and righteous army actually did it. ””
Hearing Bai Yongfu say this, Nikan was even more annoyed, and raised a whip and scolded while beating: "Bastard, what if Yang Xuan is really Zhuge Liang alive."
You have 5,000 soldiers and horses, even 5,000 pigs, and you will be able to bow down this mountain, let alone 5,000 men?
Ben will give you a day's work, if you can't capture the Dujia Temple, come and see you. “
In addition to lamenting that the Manchurian master was difficult to serve, Bai Yongfu had to lead his troops and horses to approach the Dujiamiao cottage.
Yang Yongtai, the overseer, put down the binoculars and said, "General, my lord is really clever.
Expecting the other party to come back to attack the walled gate, the trick was repeated to lay ambushes on both sides, and the other party entered the ambush circle and then killed all the fronts, so that Bai Yongfu was helpless although he tried his best to rescue. ”
Wiping the beads of sweat from his face, Liu Weiming said with a smile: "These traitors and bastards who play yin wait for our opponents from time to time, even if we fight head-on, we will not lose to each other."
If it weren't for the fear of the hundreds of Manchurian Tatar cavalry, if we weren't worried about the other party's ambush, Lao Tzu would definitely be able to defeat the more than 10,000 green battalion soldiers and horses today.
In this way, it seems that the soldiers and horses of the green battalion are nothing more than that, except for Haoge leading the army to suppress the territory, we can completely defend this Dujia Temple. ”
The generals next to him claimed that although there were a lot of horses in this Tartar, and the green battalion was also elite, he might be considered a hero in other places, but in this land in the north of Sichuan, it was completely useless for heroes.
From Suining to the Qinling region, it is a continuous hilly area, it is an endless hillside to climb over the endless hurdles, at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Song general Yu Jie, advocated the construction of mountain cities to resist the Mongolian Tartar cavalry, and the Sichuan people took the Sichuan Eight Pillars led by Hezhou Diaoyu City to resist the Mongolian cavalry for decades.
Although three or four hundred years have passed since the deeds of the Sichuan army and civilians in the Southern Song Dynasty against the Mongol Tatars, its influence is deep-rooted, and now the villages in northern Sichuan are built with cottages, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack.
On the other hand, the Manchu Tartars, due to the rugged roads and the difficulty of marching horses, their cavalry combat power was greatly reduced.
Most of the soldiers and horses of the Green Battalion are from North China, and everyone may be relatively good at fighting in the plains, but fighting in the hills and mountains all day and night is simply a nightmare.
Seeing that everyone is happy one by one, and some are even more contemptuous, Yang Yongtai and above the prison corps have repeatedly admonished, and the adults often say that the arrogant army will be defeated, and our army has not yet fought a decisive battle with the main force of the Manchurian Tartars, so we must not be so light on the enemy.
Liu Weiming, on the other hand, disagreed, he condescendingly occupied a geographical advantage, and there were friendly troops around him to support him, so he didn't have to worry about the green battalion soldiers and horses on the opposite side.
Not to mention how Liu Weiming and others relied on the surrounding cottages to deal with the green camp and the Mongolian Eight Banners, just say that Shunqing City is no longer what it used to be.
