Chapter 817: Bloody Battle
The moment the cavalry of the Qing army collided with the gun, the originally neat and tidy large array immediately deformed and sunken inward with the cavalry's charge.
Although the war horse was covered with a piece of cotton armor, it was still pierced countless times, and the barrel of the spear pierced the horse's body, and the boiling blood flowed down the barrel of the spear like a spring, and the hands of the soldiers wrapped in cotton cloth were suddenly dyed crimson.
A spearman, looking at the war horse and Qing Qi who were stabbed to death by him with horror on his face, stared straight at the blood gushing out of the wound of the war horse, his eyes were a little dazed, his mind was blank, and at this moment a huge force came from the barrel of the gun, which made him wake up suddenly, and then his face turned hideous, he wanted to hold the spear tightly, but the blood of the horse and the blood of the man flowed down the rod, which made the barrel of the gun a little slippery.
The soldier watched in horror as the barrel of the gun slid backwards from his hand, and the stabbed dead horse corpse and the strung corpse of the Qing soldier were pushed forward by the huge force, slamming into him, knocking him backwards and falling to the ground, the spear lost control, and the horse corpse fell to the ground with the human corpse, pressing heavily on his body.
At the moment when the corpse fell to the ground, the soldier also saw the source of the thrust, which was the Qing cavalry behind him, and he didn't have time to press the horse corpse on his leg, let out an exclamation, and the Qing cavalry behind instantly inserted a shot, nailing him to the ground, but the Qing cavalry also suffered retribution, and was immediately pierced by the spears in the back row and the people and horses, and the scene was extremely bloody.
The whole collision process was extremely tragic, Hao Shaoqi stood on the car, clasped the wooden fence with both hands, almost scratched the wooden fence, and his fingernails cut out a few deep marks.
He saw that the fifteen columns of pikemen arranged in the front row were constantly knocked into the air, and the Qing cavalry was constantly stabbed to death, and the huge impact force made the Qing cavalry break five rows of pikemen in a row, and the entire large array was dented inward.
"Bows and arrows, firearms, don't stop!" Hao Shaoqi roared loudly.
A Qing cavalry crashed into the big array, the Qing cavalry in front of him used his life to break a road, the entire Ming army gun forest has been hit a little scattered, he rode on a high war horse, one hand pulling the reins, one hand holding a gun, is raising high, trying to assassinate a Ming army gunner in front of him, but a gun in the Ming army formation came, and the birds rose up a cloud of gunsmoke.
The pikemen in the front row of the Ming army are all squatting on the ground, even if the Qing cavalry crashes in front of them, the posture can not be changed, if they stand up, even if they are not stabbed to death by the Qing cavalry, they will be killed by the Ming army's own guns.
The Qing cavalry who raised the spear to assassinate, after the sound of the gun, his body stagnated slightly, and the spear in his hand slipped weakly from his hand, and fell in front of the Ming sergeant he was about to assassinate.
The Ming soldier looked at the Qingqi with a look of disbelief and looked at the blood hole that suddenly appeared in his chest, blood gushed out, instantly wet a large piece of armor, and the whole person fell down weakly, he couldn't help but clench his spear, and let out a roar like a vent in his mouth, "Mountain, mountain, mountain..."
"Put!" The guns in the back row, raising the guns and continuing to shoot in turn, the Ming army archers bent their bows in unison, the arrows pointed obliquely at the sky, and after a string sounded, nearly a thousand heavy arrows rose into the air, like black flying locusts, hanging and shooting the Qing cavalry who rushed into the formation.
In an instant, Qing Cai was stopped by a spear, and was killed by a fire gun at close range, and he immediately couldn't stand it.
Hao Shaoqi saw it most realistically from the lookout, and when the Qing cavalry broke through the sixth row of pikemen, it was already weak.
Qing general Xu Degong held a spear in his arm, and cut off the pole with a knife, this guy began to rush to the front to encourage morale, but he deliberately slowed down the horse and fell behind, otherwise whether you are a general or not, you would have been stabbed to death by a spear.
At this time, Xu Degong obviously also found that the cavalry that charged into battle had lost its impact power, and he saw that the Ming army's gunners kept raising their guns, knocking down the cavalry, and letting the cavalry that had lost speed continue to impact, which was equivalent to letting the gunners slaughter, he immediately gritted his teeth and shouted hatefully: "Withdraw!" ”
After speaking, he pulled the reins of the horse, turned the horse's head and retreated, and the remaining more than 1,000 cavalry, who had suffered heavy casualties, immediately pulled out the horse and left, and retreated in a hurry.
The Ming army naturally couldn't let go of such an opportunity, and in the sound of guns, there were countless people who were shot in the back of the Qing cavalry, and countless people fell from their horses like beating dates.
The retreat of the Qing cavalry does not mean that the war is over, but it has just begun.
At this time, in the fire gun team, a long sound of the suona hand sounded, and the sound of the gun in the formation immediately stopped, and the archers also stopped shooting arrows.
"Quick! Fast! Restore the formation! Dong Cunming, the deputy general who commanded in the front, waved his arms and shouted urgently, looking very eager.
The pikemen, who were squatting, immediately got up and tried to reorganize the spear formation that had been disrupted by the cavalry, and at this moment, a rain of arrows fell from the sky like flying locusts, killing many pikemen in an instant, and making the pikemen even more confused.
When Xu Degong led more than 1,000 remnants of cavalry to retreat, the more than 4,000 cavalry who had been in a detour before, after turning in a circle, rushed towards the Ming army's large array again, which was about to form a second wave of impact, not giving the Ming army a chance to breathe and reorganize the large array.
The more than 4,000 cavalry, the same divided into two parts, the front 2,000 people, holding a long cavalry spear in their hands, originally held vertically, the body of the spear has been flattened, the cold light shining spear head, directly aimed at the Ming army's large array, and the back of more than 2,000 cavalry, like the first time, after throwing a wave of arrow rain, detoured to the left and right, ready for the third wave of charge.
At this time, the retreating cavalry, seeing the second wave of cavalry rushing, immediately pulled out their horses and divided into two strands to the left and right to make way for the charging cavalry.
The pikemen in front of the Ming army were originally blocked by the back of the fleeing cavalry, but now the fleeing cavalry moved out of the way, like opening a gate, and the second wave of cavalry suddenly appeared in front of them.
Still coming? The Ming army, which had withstood the first wave of impact, showed a trace of panic on their faces, and they couldn't help but look around, looking at each other, and the soldiers saw the same panic in the eyes of their comrades as themselves.
The cavalry came in a volley again, and some of the soldiers involuntarily shrank back, and the comrades around them followed suit, so that the pikemen, who were supposed to restore the formation, did not form a new formation.
At this time, Qing Qi arrived in the blink of an eye, Dong Cunming's eyes were red when he saw this, and he roared angrily: "Sit!" Sit! ”
Hao Shaoqi also sounded the trumpet drum in the Chinese army, and the soldiers heard the drum and the military order, and squatted down again in a little panic, stabbing their spears obliquely, preparing to meet the impact.
And at the moment when all the pikemen squatted down, the Ming army's gunners immediately opened fire again in the sound of suona, and threw a rain of bullets towards the Qing cavalry, which instantly hit the Qing army and fell off their horses one after another, and the voices and horses neighed.
Countless projectiles whistled overhead, in case one of the brothers holding the gun shook his hand, and the mouth of the gun was pressed down an inch, and maybe it hit himself, which was not a particularly good experience, but watching the Qing cavalry being knocked down head-on, the courage of the pikemen recovered somewhat.
The spearmen did not let the Qing cavalry penetrate the large formation, which was to ensure that the gunmen and archers behind were not slaughtered by the cavalry, and the gunners and archers worked hard at this time to shoot projectiles and arrow rain, which was to reduce the pressure on the pikemen and prevent the Qing cavalry from colliding with the spear array.
"Boom" with a loud bang, although the Ming army cooperated closely, but the second wave of Qing cavalry still collided, the previous scene was on the eyes again, the spear stabbed in, or the spear was broken, and the entire large array was knocked into a depression again, and this time the impact on the large array was obviously more intense than the first time.
The pikemen had not completely recovered their formation, and this time, the Qing cavalry was like plowing the ground, knocking the Ming army's gun array away, and hundreds of frontal spearmen were knocked out, and the fifteen rows of gunmen were formed, and only the last three rows remained.
"Hold on!" Dong Cunming shouted urgently, and his eyes were about to burst out.
