Chapter 162: Battle of the Wasteland

As the drumming of dozens of cowhide drums behind became more and more intense and rapid, the speed of the Qing army's charge gradually accelerated, and in the end, more than 10,000 foot riders of the front army were running wildly with all their might.

They roared and screamed, their faces hideous, and they clung to their weapons in their hands, trying to dispel their fears and inspire their courage with their shouts.

The momentum of more than 10,000 people running wildly with all their strength is indeed very huge, which makes people's hearts shake and their blood boils. Even the earth seemed to tremble slightly.

The roaring power of the Qing army formed a huge wave of sound and swept away in all directions, and the birds inhabiting the dense forests around the wasteland were frightened, and thousands of birds fled in horror. Even some of the beasts were frightened and fled from the dense forest, fleeing in all directions.

The more than 10,000 people in the front army were all men and horses of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, which was also the practice of the Qing army.

Every time there is a battle array, it is the Han Eight Banners that take the lead as cannon fodder, then the Mongolian Eight Banners follow, and finally the Full Eight Banners press the formation, which is actually the role of supervising the formation. As long as the Han Eight Banners and the Mongol Eight Banners were defeated and fled, they would catch up behind and kill the routs to stop the formation.

The Qing army was overwhelmingly charged, but the Jiang Jiajun still did not sound the war drums of the charge, and it was still silent like a mountain.

Many of the soldiers who faced this kind of 100,000-strong army battle for the first time, mainly those who were adapted from the Ming army and recruited from the common people, many of their faces turned pale, their bodies began to tremble, and they felt that their hearts were about to jump out.

Many people began to feel sweaty in their palms and feet, sweat on their foreheads, and even felt that their crotch was wet, and their legs were weak, and they involuntarily felt an urge to turn around and run away.

However, after three months of rigorous training, they knew the harshness of military discipline, so no one dared to take real action.

The most important thing is that the veterans of the Jiang family army beside them, that is, those veterans who came out of the fortress base, are all expressionless, calm as a mountain, and they don't seem to have a look of nervousness and fear on their faces.

The calmness of the veterans made these recruits slowly calm down, and they continued to cheer themselves up in their hearts, trying to keep up with the veterans.

At this time, it can be seen that Jiang Chuan advocated the benefits of mixing the old and the new. With veterans under pressure, these recruits have role models and fears, and even if they are afraid, strict military discipline and countless training sessions allow them to keep their formation unchanged.

If the whole team is all recruits, or most of them are recruits, then only one person will take the lead in escaping, which will soon cause a chain reaction, causing more recruits to flee, so that the entire Jiang family army will already be in chaos before the battle.

The whining horn horn changed its tone at this time, from the previous long tone to a short tone, everyone was in a state of spirit, adrenaline secreted sharply, and looked angrily at the Qing army who was about to collide with their own array.

This is the sound of the horn ready to fight.

Finally, the front lines of the two armies completely collided together, to be precise, it should be the vanguard of the Qing army that crashed headlong into the forward defense line of the Jiang army.

The Qing army that rushed to the front was blocked by the stretching shield wall, and the momentum of the charge suddenly stopped, and many people directly crashed into the death jungle composed of spears and halberds, and their bodies were instantly penetrated. Some people died quickly, but others still shouted frantically, smashing the iron shield in front of them with their knives and guns in vain.

And the front of the Jiang family's army was also hit back by such a violent impact of the Qing army, and the soldiers in the front row were squeezed backwards, and the entire large array's originally airtight defense line was suddenly knocked out a little loosely.

Some Qing troops took advantage of the situation to break into the formation from those exposed openings, while the Qing troops behind saw that there was an opportunity to take advantage of them, so they rushed forward even more frantically, squeezing the Qing troops in front, intending to expand those openings even more.

The soldiers of the Jiang family army also tried their best to kill and drive out these Qing troops who broke into the formation, but the Qing army tried their best to break in.

On the front of the entire front line with a width of more than 1,000 steps, more than a dozen openings were broken into by small groups of Qing troops, and the swords, guns, swords, and halberds of both sides greeted each other, the sound of killing shook the sky, blood splattered, and stumps and broken arms continued to fly, and at the same time began a small-scale life-and-death melee.

Seeing that the people in front had an opportunity, the Qing army behind rushed forward even harder, wanting to break through the frontal formation of the Jiang family army in one fell swoop.

Dolgon, who was in the rear, held a monocular clairvoyant in his hand to observe the situation of the battlefield, and after seeing that the frontal defense line of the Jiang army had been shaken, he smiled slightly and ordered the Mongolian Eight Banners to follow suit.

With the more and more rapid sound of war drums, the fighting sound of the Han Eight Banners in front became more and more intense, and the Mongolian Eight Banners in the back also shouted frantically and waved their war knives and rushed towards the two wings of the Jiang family's army.

The Jiang family's defense line looked crumbling at the moment, as if it would collapse at any moment.

On the one hand, the front-line infantry officers rushed in in front of the slashing of the Qing soldiers, and on the other hand, they hissed and commanded their subordinates to try to maintain the formation, and the battle between the two sides had a white-hot trend from the beginning, and people kept falling.

After the Qing army's people fell, the people behind didn't care at all, and directly stepped on his body and continued to rush forward.

After someone in the Jiang family's army array fell, the soldiers behind dragged the bodies of their comrades out of the gap in the queue and handed them to the people behind, and then someone quickly filled the vacant seats and continued to fight with the Qing army.

Both sides are red-eyed, one side is desperately trying to break through the defense, and the other is desperately trying to maintain the defense.

The Qing army was like waves in the sea, impacting the defense line of the Jiang army wave after wave. Jiang Jiajun was like a reef on the seaside, submerged by the waves again and again, but when the waves receded, they remained immovable.

Seeing that the infantry brothers in front of them were fighting bloodily with the enemy, the officers and men of various long-range arms behind the infantry still did not receive the order to attack, and many people couldn't help but look back at the place where the Chinese army was flagrant.

Jiang Chuan stood on top of the cloud car, his face seemed calm, but in fact, his heart was already turbulent, he held a monocular clairvoyant in one hand and quietly observed the situation on the battlefield, and the other hand was tightly clenched, and his palms were already soaked with sweat.

It was the first time he had personally commanded a battle of this magnitude. One carelessness may lead to the rout of the entire army.

Although the front line looked precarious, there was always a voice in his heart telling him: It's not the best time yet, you must hold on.

Ci is not in charge of the soldiers, Jiang Chuan suddenly has a deeper understanding of this sentence at this time.

Suddenly, his eyes froze, because at this moment, because of the pressure of the Mongolian Eight Banners and the Eight Banners behind him, more than 10,000 people in the front army of the entire Qing army have all been crowded together, showing a very dense formation, almost one by one.

This is the time, this is the time!

Jiang Chuan put down the clairvoyant mirror, slowly raised his right hand, and said in a deep voice: "The bow and crossbow battalion, the grenadiers, and the musketeers all fire." ”

The flag soldiers, who had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly waved the flag, and at the same time, the war drums suddenly sounded.

The passionate sound of war drums made all the soldiers of the Jiang Jiajun suddenly feel refreshed, and their eyes all looked at the location of the banner of the Chinese army.

Seeing the flag, the captain of the bow and crossbow battalion and the captain of the Shenji battalion almost simultaneously slashed the sword in their hands with all their might.

"Shoot!"

"Fire!"
