Chapter 451: Take the initiative to retreat
On the front line of the Wei Wu army, Zhao Daxian watched the battle on the hills on both sides, and only heard the rumbling of cannons, the sound of killing all over the sky, and the sound of cannons, shouting and screams were mixed together, so that people in the distance only felt that their ears were buzzing.
At this time, the two armies were close to each other, the soldiers holding cold weapons in front of them slashed fiercely, and the back fired firearms and bows and arrows, and the battle began to be fierce.
Although the Qing army attacked the mountain, the Wei Wu army still had the advantage of waiting for work and condescending.
"Rush forward!" Sun Dingliao saw that a gap was blown out by the earth-shaking thunder in front of him, and he waved his knife and roared.
A team of Qing soldiers, carrying swords and shields and spears, rushed out from his side and charged at the gap, but just a few steps after running, there was a "boom" in the middle of the team, and several Qing soldiers were overturned by the explosion.
Zhao Daxian looked at the mountain, and he was still more confident in the brothers above.
The Wei Wu army on the mountain, with antlers, horses and other obstacles, came late to hinder the Qing army's attack, with fire guns, artillery bombardment, thunder throwers to throw earth-shaking thunder, to strangle the Jin army attacking the mountain.
Suddenly, the main formation of the Qing army sounded a low horn, transmitting the signal that it was about to attack, Zhao Daxian hurriedly turned his head to look, and saw thousands of Qing troops in front of him, all of them brushed the shield to their chests, and then took a step, while advancing neatly, while rhythmically beating the shield with the sword, making a shocking sound, the momentum was quite huge.
At this time, the hills on both sides of the Wei Wu army had been pinned down by the Qing army and could not support the defense of the center.
If any of the hills on both sides were captured, the Qing army could be condescending and attack the Wei Wu army in the center, so it was impossible for Zhao Daxian to draw men and horses from both sides to support.
Now the defense of the middle lane can only rely on a battalion of Wei Wujun blocking the road.
Zhao Daxian saw thousands of Qing army foot soldiers, slowly left the Qing army's main array, moved forward, his expression became serious, and immediately shouted, "Once the Tartar enters the firing range, first the cannon bombards his mother, then the stone thrower throws, and then the fire gun bombards, and finally the thunder thrower throws the mine, and the killer team meets it." ”
For the frontal attack of the enemy, Wei Wujun had already conducted many drills, just a few sets of fixed tricks, and only needed the soldiers to repeat them on the battlefield.
The Qing army marched forward and entered a range of one mile, knowing that the artillery of the Wei Wu army was about to fire, the Qing general who commanded the army suddenly waved his sword, and the advancing Qing army began to disperse to the left and right, and the distance between the people and horses was immediately widened, and they were not gathered together.
Almost at the same time, Wei Wujun's artillery roared, and the shells came over, splashing a cloud of yellow mud.
At this time, most of the artillery was shooting at the Qing army climbing the top of the mountain, and only a few guns were bombarding the Qing army on the opposite side, which did not pose a threat to the Qing army.
The Qing army braved the artillery fire and advanced to a distance of one hundred and fifty paces, and the Qing general raised his weapons again and roared loudly, "Lift the shield!" ”
The Wei army had few archers and many firearms, and the Qing army only needed to raise their shields to their chests to protect the vital points, and they did not need to raise them above their heads to guard against thrown arrows.
In the process of advancing, the Qing soldiers in the front row lifted the shield together, and almost at the same time, the Qing army generals roared again, "Rush!" ”
The Qing army, which was originally moving slowly, roared in an instant, and they all ran, like arrows off the string, shooting towards the defense line of the Wei Wu army.
On the other side, the Wei Wu sergeant looked grim and waited for the battle.
In front of the big array, the first row of gunners was already on fire, and the stone throwers behind were also ready, just waiting for an order.
Almost at the moment when the Qing army began to run, Zhao Daxian waved down his right hand, and the soldiers behind him waved the command flag back and forth, and the officer standing next to the stone throwing machine suddenly roared, "Release!" ”
The soldier next to the stone thrower lit the fuse, and a soldier next to him went down with a hammer and knocked the hook off, the stone thrower creaked, and the throwing rod bounced suddenly, throwing a large sky-shattering thunderbolt with sparkling sparks.
With a loud bang, the explosion exploded in the Qing army's array, blowing the Qing army over, and the body flew out and smashed to the ground like a kite with a broken string.
The soldiers in front of Wei Wujun's formation applauded, and the tense and oppressive atmosphere was swept away.
The stone thrower creaked, smashing out one after another earth-shattering thunder, and the front was suddenly filled with gunpowder smoke in the explosion.
In the Qing army's formation, Duoduo was riding on a horse, and the muscles on his face twitched, he had been prepared for this, and the Qing army also had experience in dealing with it, but his face still sank.
Although the earth-shattering thunder movement is large, the power is actually not terrifying, as long as the people and horses do not get together, not too many people will die.
That being said, the sight of the large crater that had been blown out of the ground, the wailing soldiers lying on the ground, and the torn corpses, still felt a pain in his flesh.
"Fire Hammer!" At the moment when the Qing army rushed through the smoke, a cloud of gunpowder smoke suddenly rose on the Wei Wu army's front, and the smoke instantly filled the entire front.
"Bang bang bang" There was a bang, a rain of bullets poured down, and the Qing troops who rushed forward were beaten and trembled.
The projectile hit the Qing army, the cotton wool splashed, the Qing army's body stagnated slightly, took a step back, only a few people fell to the ground, but the rest of the people were like no one, and they killed with anger and hideousness.
Zhao Daxian's face changed, and his teeth clenched, "Mother, double armor soldiers, prepare for the thunder thrower!" ”
The Qing soldiers rushed forward fiercely, and the soldiers in front could already see the faces of the enemy, and their hearts immediately froze, and their movements slowed down.
The Qing army obviously felt the pressure relaxed, but at this moment, the soldiers who rushed in front fell down again and again, either stepping on the thistle terrestris, or rushing too fast and slipping.
At this time, the earth-shattering thunder thrown by the soldiers fell, and in the continuous explosion, the scene was extremely tragic, and the Qing army that rushed to the front suffered heavy losses.
Duoduo rode on his horse, scanned the battlefield with a clairvoyant mirror, and frowned slightly when he saw that his men and horses had suffered a large loss, but he did not stop the attack, "Let Kong Youde speed up, go around behind enemy lines as soon as possible, and outflank the back of the barbarians." ”
At this time, on the top of the mountain, the fierce battle has entered the white heat, the soldiers and horses of the two soldiers fought in close combat, and many people were pushed to hit the tip of the gun and were directly stabbed through.
Sun Dingliao roared angrily, "Push Lao Tzu!" ”
More than a dozen personal guards suddenly exerted their strength in unison, pushing Wei Wujun and the horse rejection pile to retreat, and then suddenly lifted the horse rejection and knocked down several Wei Wujun.
When a gap appeared on the front, Sun Dingliao led his own soldiers to rush in, and the men and horses pushed violently on both sides, wanting to expand the gap.
Li Hu was furious, "Resist! ”
The spear in his hand stabbed into the throat of the first Qing soldier, and then suddenly pulled it out, bringing up a cloud of blood mist, and the Qing army waved his war knife and rushed straight at him, his spear swept between the two Qing soldiers left and right, and immediately slapped the two Qing soldiers away.
In the river valley, the Qing army and the Wei Wu army collided together, the shouts of killing resounded through the mountains and forests, the two armies fought desperately, and Duoduo kept increasing his troops.
On the banks of the Rushui River, there were many small hills, and the 3,000 Qing troops, under the leadership of Kong Youde, climbed among the mountains and forests to bypass the frontal defense of the Wei Wu army.
The Qing soldiers walked the winding path, their eyes looking around from time to time, searching for the traces of the Wei Wu soldiers, beware of being ambushed. Suddenly, a Qing soldier exclaimed, "It's not good, there are people up there!" ”
Before the words fell, a few bangs, coupled with a loud "boom", the Qing army in front was beaten to the ground on their backs, and the people were blown up.
Kong Youde was shocked, glad that he didn't go ahead, otherwise he would have capsized in the gutter.
Then he looked up and saw a group of slenders on the hillside, leaning against the trunk of a tree, or crouching behind a stone, riveting all their strength and shooting downward, and immediately waved his knife and shouted, "Kill them all!" ”
The Qing soldiers immediately grabbed the dead grass and branches with a knife in one hand and the dry grass and branches in the other, climbed up the mountain, and after being beaten and rolled down nearly 100 people in a row, they finally approached the fire team of the Wei Wu army.
"The Tartars have climbed up! Brothers, copy guys, on! The first officer threw away his firebolt, drew his sword from his belt, and roared to meet him. The firecrackers hurriedly put down their firearms and drew their swords to face the battle.
At this time, on the frontal battlefield, one after another horse-resisting antlers were overturned, and the fight on the field was fierce.
Zhao Daxian was commanding his soldiers to resist the Qing army, and a general hurriedly said: "General, the Tartars have outflanked from behind." Withdraw! ”
Zhao Daxian was mixed with blood, and his face showed hideousness when he heard the sound, he looked up at the Qing army's large array, and saw that another Qing army came forward and pressed towards them, knowing that Duoduo would not give him a chance to breathe, and if he continued to fight, he would not be able to leave.
"The people on both sides retreat first, let the thunder thrower prepare, throw a round, and retreat immediately!" Zhao Daxian's teeth were almost crushed, and he immediately broke his strength.
Although retreating now is equivalent to escaping, once the enemy soldiers come around, I am afraid that there will be a danger of being completely annihilated.
Zhao Daxian immediately made a decision, taking advantage of the fact that the main formation of the Qing army has not moved now, and the outflanking people have not been killed, he should quickly withdraw, otherwise the loss will be great.
On the battlefield, the Qing army gradually gained an advantage by virtue of its superiority in strength, and it was only a matter of time before it defeated the blocked men and horses, or even completely annihilated.
Seeing this, Duoduo turned back to his subordinates and said, "Let the horse army prepare to attack." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard several loud bangs on the top of the mountain, and the smoke of gunpowder instantly filled the entire mountain, obscuring the vision, and then he saw the same explosions in front of him, making the Qing army's offensive instantly stagnant.
Through the smoke of the explosion, he saw that in the smoke and dust, countless figures were rushing south.
Duoduo's expression was fierce when he saw this, "At this time, I still want to run, and the horse army will rush to this king, and kill him without leaving a piece of armor~"
(There is a delay today.) )
