Chapter 603: Defeat Geng Zhongming

The world is too big, when the Qing army is outside the pass, more than 100,000 people are gathered together, which is equivalent to clenching into a fist, and every battle is tens of thousands of elites of the Eight Banners participating in the battle, and even pouring out, and the soldiers are difficult to resist.

Now after entering the customs, the occupied area is too large, and the Eight Banners are like scattering beans, one here, one there, scattered throughout the north, and the power is scattered, just like five fingers stretched out, it is not so scary.

After the Qing army entered the customs, it felt the lack of its own troops, and in the war, it drove the green battalion and the foreign feudal clan as the forerunner, and let the Eight Banners soldiers pick up the cheap, which made the strength of the Qing army further decline in the case of the same number.

Although driving the Green Battalion can indeed reduce the casualties of the Eight Banners, there is also a problem, that is, once the battlefield encounters hard stubble, and the slightly weaker Green Battalion soldiers are defeated by the opponent, the opponent's morale is out, and it will be difficult for the Eight Banners to reverse the situation, and in the end it can only cause the defeat of the war.

When the Kesheng army stopped in front of the Qing army's infantry formation, the formation of the Qing army's gunners was already in chaos on the smoke-filled Qing army's front.

The sound of "bang, bang, bang" has become sporadic, and the Qing troops in the first row saw that the Wei army had stopped, and finally prepared to fire back with a salvo, and their hearts were instantly filled with fear. They did not wait for the general's order, hurriedly released a shot, and began to retreat, so as not to expose themselves to the fire of the Wei army.

The Kesheng infantry pressed towards the Qing army from a distance, a hundred paces, seventy steps, fifty steps, and finally stopped within thirty steps.

During the Qing army, the guns bombarded and the cannons roared, but the Wei soldiers and soldiers were all carrying the guns on their shoulders, stepping forward rhythmically with the beat of the drums, and the bullet rain of the Qing army was meaningless, and someone made up for it immediately when it died, maintaining the integrity of the front.

At a hundred paces, the Qing army was unimpressed, at seventy paces the Qing army was surprised, at fifty paces they began to panic, and when they reached a distance of thirty paces, the Qing army began to fear.

They had already fired a few rounds of firearms, but they did not stop the pace of the Wei army, and the willpower of the Wei army made them afraid.

When they saw the Wei army stop, the Qing troops in the first row retreated, and at this time, the Qing troops in the second row were still hurriedly loading.

They looked at each other, and nearly a thousand firecrackers suddenly raised, and the loaded hands began to tremble.

The Qing soldiers were panicked, either forgetting to pour the primer into the fire gate, or forgetting to load the projectile, and some people didn't even know that the fire rope was extinguished, so they hurriedly stepped forward and raised the fire gun, wanting to be the first to fire, and then quickly back, so that the soldiers in the back row were hit.

At this time, as soon as the second row of guns of the Qing army was raised, there was a sudden suona in the Wei army's formation, and the brigades in charge of the divisions shouted in the loudest voices: "Shoot!" ”

The 1,000 guns that had been lifted long ago had already been hammered wide, and the Wei soldiers in the first column pulled the trigger one after another, and the hammer clicked down, and the fire door was full of sparks, and the chamber of the gun suddenly made a loud noise, and the gun rod was thrown upwards under the action of recoil, and the mouth of the gun spewed out orange flames, raising a cloud of white smoke.

The sound of "bang bang bang" was connected, and a white wall of smoke instantly spread to the entire front.

On the opposite side, as soon as the second row of Qing army gunners lifted their guns, countless projectiles with a scream poured towards the Qing army front, tearing their armor, making a popping sound into the flesh, and raising a fluffy blood mist.

The firearms held by the Kesheng army were self-generated firearms, and their range, accuracy, and power were stronger than those of the Qing army.

In an instant, on the Qing army's front, the soldiers fell in rows, and the corpses were neatly spread on the ground in a straight line, like rice falling in the field after a strong wind.

At this moment, the Qing army, who was not dead, was instantly afraid, and he forgot to put the gun in his hand and stepped back, revealing the hands of the guns in the back row.

The Qing army gunners in the back row, looking at the corpses that fell under their feet, were slightly stunned, someone was still holding a wooden pole to pound the gunpowder, and then saw the Wei army gunners on the opposite side, the first row retreated, and the second row stepped forward, without checking the fire rope, and the gun was fired.

Many Qing soldiers who picked up their firearms and stepped forward to shoot were beaten backwards as soon as they took a step.

In an instant, the third column of firecrackers of the Qing army fell by half, and the first column of firecrackers who were the first to retreat, seeing this, dared to load, and finally someone reacted and turned to run.

"Shoot!" In the Wei army's array, Jin Xiangang roared angrily.

The second row of the Kesheng army retreated, and the third column stepped forward, pulled the trigger, and lined up in a line of firearms, and suddenly "bang, bang" spit out long flames and white smoke, the scene was shocking and spectacular.

At this time, almost all the remaining guns of the Qing army were crowded together, and they were shot in the back, and the corpses fell again in an instant.

The Qing army had more than 3,000 guns, and more than 1,000 fell in the three rows of volleys of the Wei army, and the rest fled backwards in terror, washing their infantry like a tide, and the spears, swords, shields, and archers of the Qing army were all in chaos.

Fear spread instantly, and before Geng Zhongming could recover from the fiasco of the cavalry on both wings, the front of the Qing army in front of him had completely collapsed, and the eight banners that they had pressed behind had all been scattered.

"Lord Wang, what should I do?" The Qing generals next to them were also stupid, they didn't expect the Wei army to defeat their front army in three rows, and when they saw the green battalion soldiers with red-crowned hats, rolling towards the Chinese army, their expressions changed greatly, and they came to their senses.

Geng Zhongming looked ahead, almost at the moment when the Qing army's front collapsed, between the gaps between the Wei army's firearms, several teams of spears with spears suddenly appeared.

Each division of the Wei army has 300 soldiers and a firearm brigade, and there is a gap between each team to leave a passage for the cold weapon phalanx behind to kill.

Geng Zhongming saw that on the entire front, more than a dozen and more than thirty people formed a small cone-shaped formation, holding spears and stabbing through the gaps between the fire teams.

These triangular spear formations, sharp formations, and upright spears can easily cut through a strong defensive line like an awl once they meet in close combat.

Now the chaotic infantry formation of the Qing army, facing countless sharp spear tips, it is conceivable that it will definitely be easily chiseled.

Geng Zhongming's expression was gloomy, his heart ached and he couldn't breathe, although he didn't want to admit it, he did lose.

"Defeated! Everyone, run for your life! Geng Zhongming watched the Wei army come in the wilderness, and his shout shook the sky, and suddenly pulled the reins of his horse, and the Qing army suddenly fled eastward like a tide.

On the frontal battlefield, the Wei army's spear array stabbed forward, and the sword and shield soldiers of the rear brigade followed up and slashed the defeated army.

The Wei gunners also rose up with guns, followed behind the killer team, and charged forward, and in front of them, you could see the backs of countless Qing troops who had fled the road.

In the middle of the Wei army, Gao Yihuan puffed up his chest, full of spirits, he felt that he was the god of war, he saw that the Qing army retreated, and immediately pulled out his war knife, "Sons, kill the lonely king!" ”

In an instant, the horn of the charge resounded throughout the field, and the Tiger and Horse Army on both wings of the Wei army, the regrouped dragoons, as well as the various departments of the Wei army, plus 10,000 Western Army, roared like a climax, and the field slaughtered the Qing army.

In the west of Shaanzhou, on the vast battlefield, the eagle soared, and the eagle's eyes overlooked the earth from the sky, and saw countless black spots, crashing into the chaotic Qing army front, and the Qing army front ran for its life to the east like a flood that burst the embankment.
