Chapter 118: The Charge and Slaughter of the Crowd Tactics
When Fu Lehe was seventeen years old, he became the prince of the town, but the prince of the Manchu clan was not valuable, and there were Beizi and Baylor on it, and then the prince and the prince.
He wants to be a prince even more.
Thinking about it a little longer, since Dorgon has never had an heir, he succeeded Dorgon as his son to Dorg's fifth son, but Dorgor is dead, and Azig's line may have a greater chance. I don't dare to think about it, although it seems that there is little hope, but behind this is thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and thousands of years of hegemony...... Fu Lehe has been secretly giving up his efforts, and every time he fights, he must be a soldier in advance, and in the past few years, he has made great achievements, and the limelight often overwhelms his younger brother Lou Qin.
Azig was the first fierce general of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and among the generals of the younger generation of the Qing army, Fu Lehe was also known for his bravery in battle, quite a father's style, every time he broke the army and killed the generals, annihilated the stubborn enemy, and gave the enemy a fatal blow at the critical moment...... Since the Battle of Ningzhen began, Fu Lehe's department has been regarded as a trump card at the bottom of the box, and Zilharang has not been willing to put them into a battle with heavy casualties, until the critical turning point of the battle situation appeared, and finally opened the floodgates and released the tiger.
Fu Lehe couldn't wait for a long time, and after leading his troops to the combat position, he immediately launched a fierce attack on the positions of the Chu army......
With a loud "bang", the red-coated cannon opened fire suddenly, accompanied by a dull cannon sound and huge recoil, the barrel of the cannon retreated sharply, spewing out a dazzling firelight, and the seven-pound cannon roared out at an indiscernible speed with the naked eye, leaving a thick cloud of white smoke that could not be dispersed for a long time.
In the distance, among the mountains, the birds that had long avoided were startled again, and the beasts rushed out of the woods in panic, but the earth under their feet suddenly trembled violently. Soil and gravel jumped off the ground, and leaves fell. One after another, the cannonballs smashed the antler array of the Chu army, and they continued to bounce. Break through the passages.
The Qing army's red-coated artillery can only hit below the mountainside, unable to destroy the Chu army's trenches and breastwork, and has little effect in the battle, but the elite soldiers of the Eight Banners went out to fight, and as soon as they shot, they were full of pomp, Fu Lehe brought four eight-pounder cannons and twelve six-pounder cannons, and directly used the cannons to destroy the Chu army's forward obstacle belt, saving time and effort.
Fleur stood in front of the formation. Pointing to the battlefield, he said to Zhang Guozhu: "Give you half an hour to level the trench, send more soldiers up for an attack, double the silver, don't be afraid of the dead." ”
Use artillery to hit the antler formation, and let the green battalion soldiers fill the trenches at any cost, in order to fight quickly and conquer the position with lightning speed before the Chu army reinforcements arrive.
Zhang Guozhu responded: "Grandpa Guo, don't worry, half an hour is enough." It's a big deal to fill in the more than 100 catties at the end! ”
Zhang Guozhu was originally a general under the command of King Lu, and when Boluo went south, he surrendered to the Qing army, causing the collapse of King Lu's army and the fact that Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, was forced to flee. At the worst time, he could only hide on a sea ship and became a famous son of the sea, so Zhang Guozhu was awarded the position of chief soldier by the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Became a strong general in the Green Battalion Army.
(Historically, Zhang Guozhu was finally eliminated by Zheng Chenggong.) The soldiers were defeated and died, and died heroically for the Manchu Qing Dynasty. It was a strange situation. Many Ming troops were originally afraid of the enemy like tigers, but after surrendering to the Manchu Dynasty, they became fierce and abnormal, but if they rebelled against the Qing Dynasty and returned to the Ming Dynasty again, their combat effectiveness immediately fell again, such as Li Chengdong. )
Two hundred shield-bearers of the Green Battalion were the first to rush forward, using steel knives and axes to clean the remains of the antlers, and thousands of auxiliary soldiers carrying sacks full of dirt rushed through the antler formation driven by the Qing soldiers. The mortar artillery of the Chu army immediately opened fire, and the stone bullets the size of watermelons fell down irregularly (the accuracy of the mortar cannons was too poor), and the Qing army auxiliaries who were hit all broke their tendons and fractures, screaming again and again, and each stone bullet was cleared of open space near the impact point.
Seeing that the mortar artillery of the Chu army was powerful, the auxiliary soldiers and the chief man showed a look of horror, and climbed up the mountain more bravely with the sack on their backs, as long as they could throw the sack on their shoulders into the trench, they would not have to fight again today, and with the hope of survival on this line, no one would try to escape or resist. They did not wear armor, everyone was short dressed for action, although they carried a twenty-pound sack, they climbed the mountain very quickly, and after being knocked down by the flying stones of the Chu army, the front row of auxiliaries was only eighty steps away from the breastwork.
"Aim."
On the position of the Chu army, Gu Zongfu personally commanded the battle and issued verbal orders to the musketeers.
The production of flintlock muskets was limited, and the Ji'an battalion had not yet had its turn to change equipment, and most of the musketeers still used bird guns, they lined up in three rows behind the breastwork, and with Gu Zongfu's order, the soldiers in the first row put the bird guns on the chest wall, and closed one eye to search for a suitable target from the Wangshan Mountain.
There are still seventy steps left, and it is already in range! The soldiers of the Ji'an battalion pressed their fingers on the trigger, nervously waiting for orders.
There are still seventy steps, and the southern thief looks like he is facing a great enemy, and Zhang Dayou, who was watching the battle at the bottom of the mountain, shook his head. He was the general of the Ming army in Liaodong, after the surrender of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, because he was good at using firearms and was reused, he was very familiar with the performance of the bird, the effective range of the bird's gun was only about 30 to 40 steps, and the limit range was about 60 steps.
After the Qing soldiers crossed the landmark of sixty steps, Gu Zongfu silently counted down five times in his heart, suddenly waved his war knife, and blew the whistle in his mouth at the same time.
"Fire!"
About fifty paces away, the Chu army suddenly opened fire, and puffs of muzzle flames and white smoke erupted from the chest wall, and Zhang Dayou couldn't help but be stunned.
Fifty to sixty steps is the limit range of the bird's gun, although the lead bullet can hit here, but it is completely inaccurate, and the power is greatly reduced, ten shots may not be able to kill an enemy, but it will cause a large amount of smoke to obstruct the line of sight, hindering the next round of shooting, Zhang Dayou's Wuzhen Chaoha soldiers will never shoot at a distance of fifty to sixty steps (without panic collapse), at least have to put the enemy within forty steps.
The Ming army actually shot at more than fifty paces, such a shooting effect is definitely not good, if it is normal, Zhang Dayou will definitely disdain it, but the gunfire just now is too strange, which makes him feel a little abnormal...... Just like the lightning seer, the thunder came, Zhang Dayou first saw the Ming army fire, and then heard the gunshots, there were about 200 bird guns behind the chest wall, and under the salvo at the same time, the gunshots seemed to be only one continuous, and the crackling intervals in the middle were not heard at all, but they were superimposed on each other, turning into a thunderous thunderbolt, and even overwhelmed the momentum of the red-clothed cannons.
"Perfect salvo! Alas, it's a pity ......"
The layman would not notice this kind of detail, but Zhang Dayou knew how difficult it was to achieve such a salvo effect, first of all, to ensure that the spirit of all the soldiers was highly concentrated, and secondly, no one could hesitate, hesitate or make mistakes...... Zhang Dayou's Wuzhen Chaoha soldiers are good at using firearms, but they can only use thirty people at most to shoot this kind of salvo effect, no matter how many people there are, it will definitely be chaotic, and there may be other accidents, but the two hundred bird guns of the Chu army shot a gunshot, it is really thousands of people like one person, I don't know how this soldier is trained, and why are their bird guns so stable and reliable!
The strange thing is that such a perfect salvo fired at a distance of more than 50 paces, and in an instant, Zhang Dayou forgot the identity of the enemy and himself, and secretly shouted a pity, if such a salvo was fired within the effective range of 40 steps, even if it was the invincible Baya soldiers in the world, I am afraid that they would have to be beaten down...... Zhang Dayou subconsciously felt that this idea was wrong, and before his mind turned a corner, he saw the auxiliary soldiers on the hillside falling like crops under a sickle, and he was too surprised for a while, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
How can it be? He could see very clearly that the Chu army's firecrackers were all bird guns that used arquebuses, not the powerful flintlock guns, and the distance of more than fifty steps could cause such a killing effect, which was completely beyond the scope of his cognition.
After the Qing army, the war drums were like thunder, Zhang Guozhu personally supervised the battle, kept shouting and scolding, urging the auxiliary soldiers to continue the attack, and whoever hesitated a little would be killed immediately by the military law team, just like cattle and sheep to be slaughtered were driven into the slaughterhouse and swarmed towards the mountain.
On the position of the Chu army, several rounds of platoon guns had been fired in a row, and the auxiliary soldiers in the front row were nailed to the ground and did not dare to raise their heads. The auxiliaries in the back row continued to pour upward, and the military law team of the green battalion soldiers was mixed, and the crowd became denser and denser. The Chu army then opened fire, mortars, birds, bows and arrows, flying stones, and sasamara wood flew all over the sky from various angles, covering the entire hillside, and the Qing army auxiliaries were constantly hit even if they were lying on the ground, and when they found that they could not escape death on the left and right, they suddenly burst out with amazing courage, and under the leadership of several Qing army officers, they suddenly shouted and rushed towards the mountain in a swarm.
"Throw the sack into the trench!" Thousands of auxiliary soldiers have fallen into a state of madness, there is only one thought in their minds, this is their only way to live, in order to survive, in order to be able to live humblely, they have all become warriors who fight to the death.
Forty steps......
Twenty Steps......
The auxiliary commander rushed faster and faster, and the more he rushed, the bullets and bullets continued to shoot head-on, and people kept falling around them, and under the threat of death, they just attacked forward with one breath, and even forgot their mission, and the sack on their shoulders had been thrown away without realizing it...... There were only ten steps left from the trench, and hundreds of auxiliary commanders let out a dying howl and pounced on them through gritted teeth.
"Bang bang bang" a few loud sounds, several tiger squat cannons on the chest wall of the Chu army opened fire at the same time, and the overwhelming shotguns formed a line of death defense, creating a bloody mist in the Qing army's formation, which was also clearly visible at the foot of the mountain.
