Chapter 487: Substitute for the Dead Ghost
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Du Ji, who formed a triangle with Jiantun and Li Xinjiazhuang, finally appeared in front of Chen Ming. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
There are more than 60,000 troops in the Fu Han army, "Are there 100,000 people on the other side?" Chen Ming finally put down the telescope in his hand, and the Qing army covered the entire line of sight, and the front banner was probably more than ten miles long.
One cannon after another was placed in front of the infantry array by them, and the dark muzzles shimmered in the sunlight.
"Your Highness, look over there. There is the Xiyan Temple, and there is a seven-story tower at the head of the temple, which can overlook the surrounding movement for dozens of miles. ”
"The seven-story tower can't be as tall as a hot air balloon, tell the balloon team that I want them to rise in an hour."
"Now the artillery arranges positions. All the rest of the soldiers, except for the garrison, rested in place. ”
The well-prepared Fu Han army was not simply resting, and the soldiers had already taken out the dry food in their satchels while sitting down.
Dry food cubes are distributed in the army, and everyone is not rare. Now that it is the time of the war, the food is better than usual, and the meat is not separated from the meal. But before going to the battlefield, there is still meat to be sacrificed.
Or sausages, or whole pieces of bacon, or even whole chicken, whole duck.
For the soldiers of the Fu Han Army, no matter how overwhelming the war is, there are people who will die, and it may fall on their own heads. Therefore, those who pick again on weekdays will not treat themselves badly before the war. Those who are single, especially those who feed the whole family and do not go hungry, will spend more money.
"Garrison the first division, attack!"
The sound of artillery rang out, and the cannon sound of the Fu Han army was just like the role played by the artillery of the Qing army in 100 villages, and the Fu Han army also did its best to create better conditions for its infantry.
Without the slightest intention of sparing his hands, Chen Ming's soldiers moved to garrison all the troops present in the 1st Division.
The whole two brigades and six regiments formed a phalanx of six regiments, arranged in 3x2, from the far right of the battle line, that is, at the east end of the battlefield, in a single array of five horizontal formations, and pressed straight towards the Qing army on the opposite side.
How many cannons were there in the Manchus? Two hundred doors only. After the ten hundred households in the village, as well as Li Xinjiazhuang, Jiantun and other places were scattered and arranged, there were less than one hundred and fifty gates left in Ah Gui's hands. And what about the Fu Han army?
Three artillery regiments, three artillery regiments, Chen Ming brought a total of three artillery regiments in this battle, and there were 400 artillery pieces in these alone.
With the three artillery regiments as the main force and the artillery units under each department, Chen Ming left more than 200 cannons in Tianjin, Dabo, Xinhe, Tanggu and other places, and there were almost 400 cannons with the army. Not to mention that in addition to these cannons whose horizontal line is one section higher than the average of the Qing army's artillery, the Fu Han army also had a large number of rockets.
Ah Gui's face was calm, and the whole person was more like a stone sculpture than a living person. Yonghui's secret decree is still known only to him.
The battle of the ten hundred households in the village before this war made Ah Gui extremely disappointed. He made so many preparations, but he still couldn't let the Fuhan army, which was far less than his own troops, suffer a loss. The annihilation of Qingchun's 3,000 horse team wiped out all his spirit.
He glanced at Hailancha, Wen Fu, and the rich monk beside him.
The battle of more than 100,000 or 200,000 people, the head-on duel between the Manchu and Han peoples, and the withering of the position can no longer solve the problem. A head-on battle is the foundation that separates the winner from the loser, and it is the foundation that determines the rise and fall of a dynasty.
"Attack, attack! Offensive! ”
"Your mission is only to attack. Win this war, at any cost of casualties, at any cost! ”
With Ah Gui's roar, the Qing army's artillery opened fire. Chen Ming, who was able to shoot cannonballs into the heads of the Fu Han army, estimated that it was about fifty or sixty guns.
At the same time, the Manchu Qing Dynasty's Zhili training army took the lead, and behind the Eight Banners New Army Palace, a large number of troops also ushered in the first garrison division.
They were shot by rockets again and again, and although the Qing army still couldn't find a way to deal with the rockets, they finally understood a truth, that is, don't let the rockets get close to your position within three miles.
At present, the only way for the Qing army to do so is to send musketeers to isolate the rockets of the Han army three miles away from the main position. As for whether their musketeers can block the attacking troops of the Fu Han army against the rockets of the Fu Han army, that is another unsolvable problem.
"Isn't that interesting?"
"Let's attack first, the Qing army will attack later, and then the Qing army will take the initiative to approach our troops." The Fu Han army first entered the range of the Qing artillery, and then advanced against the Qing artillery. After the Qing army's infantry attacked, their musketeers had to withstand the rocket bombardment of the Fu Han army, approaching within 200 meters of the Fu Han army's formation.
"Ah Gui is also courageous." With a wave of his hand, there are also tens of thousands of soldiers.
He Lin was in this Qing army unit that attacked first at the moment, and his official position had been promoted to a general, leading a battalion of Zhili to train the army. He Lin didn't know if he would die, and he didn't get a letter from his brother and Shen before he went to war today. Ming Yinglian's team had already retreated to Lugou Bridge. The people he sent to find Heshen did not return for three days.
Of course, He Lin is not worried about He Shen's safety. Yinglian is Heshen's old lady-in-law, whoever dies, his brother will not die.
Shaking his head, He Lin shook He Shen's voice and appearance from his mind, now is not the time to think about this. And soon, all that echoed in his ears, in his head, was the roar of Lord Fuller before the war began. There is no mercy and conciliation, only tough, cold and ruthless demands - attack! A desperate attack is an attack that costs everyone's lives to win the war.
Prior to this, during the battle in the village of ten hundred households, and Lin did not see a series of dead bodies, because he had been in Duji. But he saw a cascade of wounded soldiers, truckloads of wounded people being transported to the rear. And now, it's his turn.
"Tom! Tong! ……”
"Boom! Rumble! ……”
He Lin didn't know how many cannons were roaring on the other side, and he couldn't hear anything else in his ears. Moreover, the shells fired by the Fu Han army were all high-powered flowering shells. The shells fell one by one in the ranks of the Qing army, and the unstoppable explosion shock wave, one after another, rolled up the earth, rocks, rubble, blood, and stumps and severed arms into the sky, and the flesh and blood flew in the moment after being hit by the shells.
He Lin's luck is very good, it seems that the artillery of the Fu Han army is all aimed at the large phalanx, in order to prevent failure, many artillery targets are aimed at the center, and Lin as the forefront of the team, his battalion is lucky not to be blown up by a shell.
He Lin looked up at the head of the rebel army opposite, and there was a big smiling face hanging in the air, it was Chi You, the ancestor of the soldiers.
The march of the infantry teams on both sides can be described as heroic and majestic, one red and one miscellaneous, the green battalion and the training army of the Qing army are still wearing gowns, and the new army of the Eight Banners is all cotton armor, and the color is not the same, but when they walk, they also have a style when they walk up in the sky full of artillery fire, which can be described as dense by the stars.
Especially in the Fu Han Army, the bright red military uniform is very conspicuous on the green battlefield.
Left and right, there was a strict one-meter separation between each soldier of the Fu Han Army and his comrades, and even if there were two thousand people in a large phalanx, the queue was still neat. One by one, the officers of the Fu Han Army held their sabers, straightened their upper bodies, and strode forward to lead the soldiers. They are fearless, they are not afraid of death. The soldiers of the Fu Han Army also loaded their rifles with bayonets, and the soldiers buried their heads forward.
Although he was an enemy, He Lin also had to say admiration to the enemy in front of him. He was well aware of the psychology of the soldiers. Saying that you are not afraid of death is being strong! If you really fight, there is no one who is not afraid of death. The fear of death will lead them to keep their enemies as far away as possible. Therefore, if there is no order from above, they will open fire as far away as possible, say thirty feet away. And such a shot naturally causes a big drop in accuracy. The original Green Camp, the Beijing Flag, and the North Korean sticks are all such virtues.
If this kind of thinking is rampant and fermented in the army, and it is not cleared and managed by the officers. He Lin felt that it would evolve into a fear of close combat with the enemy, and finally a fear of hand-to-hand combat with the enemy.
The New Army of the Eight Banners has already gotten rid of this problem to a certain extent, and the enemy he is now facing is the leader in front of the road.
He Lin didn't know how much time had passed, he only knew that the enemy on the other side was getting clearer and clearer. Then, as if I felt something, my ears, which were originally filled with the sound of cannonballs, suddenly heard a scream that pierced the air:
“…… Whew......"
It's very much like the drill monkey that was released during the New Year when I was a child.
He raised his head to look at the sky, and saw a string of orange-red black shadows passing overhead, the black shadow was too fast, he couldn't see it clearly, the only thing he could see was the tail flame from the tail of the black shadow, the long afterburn was very much like the white mark of a meteor crossing the sky. Slammed into his back!
What is a landslide?
He Lin already thought that the previous shelling was very fierce. But when the rockets fell, he realized that the powerful flowering bombs in his eyes were too small and too small for pediatrics compared to rockets.
He Lin's entire battalion was suppressed, and all the soldiers opened their mouths wide, but they couldn't make a sound.
In this moment, their minds went blank. I can only watch this 'fireworks feast', and it will never forget the splendid splendor.
When He Lin came back to his senses, he knew that the training army and the green camp behind him had collapsed. After all, they are Han people, they are not banner people, and they don't have to and can't all give their lives to Da Qingguo.
"Everybody......" Hailancha suddenly cried out.
"This battle is related to the safety of the Qing Dynasty, how can our servants and slaves be afraid of greed? Chen Counterfire's power is fierce, and everyone should have known about it...... Now, there's no room for back-down—"
Hailancha's words embarrassed a group of white-faced Manchu officials, the Qing Dynasty has reached the point of life and death, can these people be okay if they are 'afraid'? ?
The troops, which were alive and well one moment, have turned into pools of flesh and blood the next.
The loud explosion caused both the Manchu and Han armies to pause, and cheers of exhilarating joy came from the mouths of the soldiers of the Fu Han army.
The battalion head in the Qing army's array is collapsing......
"Hong Ming, stop your soldiers, who dares to take a step back, don't be killed-"
"Jilakubu, take your men up—" The Mongol cavalry is probably useless, right? Hailancha knew what the combat effectiveness of the Mongol cavalry was, but at this time he had to use the cavalry to curb the morale of the Han army. Or that the Mongol cavalry rushed up, at least they could create a little trouble for the Fu Han army, even if it was just a substitute for the dead to attract rockets. (To be continued.) )
