Chapter 473: Bloodbath II

The red-yellow sparks bloomed in the sea of people, and then quickly disappeared at first glance, turning into black clouds, covering the sky and the sun, and the smoke of gunpowder was filled, and the ripple-like spread of the shock wave shook the ground into a flat ground within a radius of more than ten zhang.

Dozens of pounds of explosives exploded on the ground, and a salvo of thunder blocked the Qing army's sea offensive, just like a sudden breakwater, slapping the waves with strong winds on the stones.

Dozens of shield carts turned into flying ashes, scattered wooden slag burst out everywhere, deepening the power of the medicine pack, and the more than 1,000 Han troops rushing ahead were shrouded in smoke and dust that quickly grew and thickened like marshmallows on the wide front, and could no longer appear.

Ma Guangyuan was far away because of his location, but he was also shocked and fell on his back, and when he got up, blood was pouring out of his nostrils, and he didn't know if his nose was broken or there was an internal injury inside his body.

He moved his hands and feet, felt that there was no big problem, and the knife was also very stable in his hand, so he wiped a nosebleed, the long knife shook, and with his left hand, he grabbed a soldier who was crawling on the ground, and yelled: "Keep rushing, rush forward!" Don't stop! ”

The soldier was thrown by him with one hand, staggered forward a few times, stood on his feet, red-eyed, picked up a spear on the ground, shouted a cry that he didn't know the meaning of, and ran forward with the scattered Qing soldiers scattered around him who were stunned and dizzy.

No one fled backwards.

Because behind, the Jurchen Eight Banners of the brigade pressed up murderously, and followed them less than a hundred feet away.

Fleeing backwards is worse than dying under the Ming saber.

The cavalry on both flanks began to surpass the Han army brigade, which was scattered by the thunder and Shenwei artillery, and approached the Kuizhou army one step ahead of the corpse-strewn battlefield. Their goal is to insert the gap between the Kuizhou Army's infantry formation and the artillery battalion, where to insert it, and then randomly draw a few hundred cavalry pockets back, and then they can wrap the artillery battalion with dumplings. The cavalry of the brigade swept from both sides of the infantry array, and the rain of arrows thrown was enough to cause huge damage beyond the throwing distance of the infantry of the Kuizhou army, which was the most effective weapon for the cavalry to deal with the infantry phalanx.

Ye Chen and Guozhu fell on this road, folded thousands of horses, this second impact, more fierce, the number of horses also a lot more, Dolgon threw out all the cavalry, there were nearly 10,000 horses galloping on the ground, the wings of the open space densely crowded, look out, the bottom is full of horse legs, the top is full of human heads, the dark clouds cover the sun is nothing more than that.

The second launch of the thunderbolt did not take long, and this kind of water tank cannon did not need to be washed, and the second cannon could be quickly put by filling the medicine bag and adding some propellant, so the second wave of medicine bags rolled and fell on the head of the Qing cavalry who was rapidly approaching.

Another hurricane swept by, and the horses and soldiers were lifted into the sky, and when their internal organs broke and fell in the air, they were already corpses, and rows of horsemen were blown down and trampled on each other like cards, and the dead and the undead fell to the ground, lying with the horses that had lost their footing, and could not get up again, and were trampled into flesh by the horses that followed.

The artillery is roaring, the war horses are neighing, the crowd is screaming, on the front of Kuizhou less than five miles deep, a tragic massacre is underway, iron bullets, explosives are exploding and jumping in the pile of people in Wuyang, there is blood everywhere, there are stumps everywhere, the passages that seem to be ploughed in the human flesh and soil are cut and closed, leather armor, cotton armor, and even iron armor have no effect in this flesh and blood feast, in the middle of the dense fog composed of gunsmoke, the charging Qing army is like rushing into a huge meat grinder, I only saw in but not out.

There are not many Han troops left in the first wave, and even the soldiers of the Han Eight Banners don't know how many there are, the soldiers can't find the generals, they can't find the soldiers, and the people who are lucky not to die in the artillery fire are also shocked and drowsy, fortunately, the color of the Ming army's uniforms is clear, and the white armor can be seen in the smoke and dust, otherwise these Qing soldiers may run in the wrong direction.

But even so, the Qing army still had a loud horn, the drums of war were blowing the sky, and the successive teams were one after another, and the disadvantages of the Kuizhou army not flowering bullets appeared, and the solid iron bullets and explosives that relied on the shock wave to kill the tactics were not so handy.

When the first Qing cavalry with a long knife and a slightly pale face rushed out of the gunsmoke, Li Tingyu's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Kill the bomb!" He shouted loudly, lighting the fuse of the extinguishing bomb with the fire rope wrapped around his wrist: "Extinguishing bomb ready!" ”

The people around him one after another, the three words "exterminating bullets" were passed in all directions like drumming and passing flowers, and the people in the fourth row of the Kuizhou infantry formation and the people behind all put down their weapons, drew out and ignited the exterminating bullets on their bodies.

One after another, one horse after another came out of the smoke and dust, and one after another Qing soldiers followed closely behind, although the cannon was still ringing and the explosion was still continuing, more and more Qing soldiers broke through the blockade of the artillery fire and began to enter within a distance of 30 zhang in front of the Kuizhou army.

Faces distorted by madness and excitement appeared in front of the officers and soldiers of the Kuizhou Army, and the Mongolian language that covered the sky sounded "Ale!" Manchu "Withdraw from the valley!" And the Chinese "Kill! It expresses a meaning, the first two people from the Kuizhou Army can't understand it, but it can be seen from the other party's expression that it is definitely not a greeting.

The Qing soldiers who ran out of the smoke of gunpowder were either gray-headed or blood-stained robes, extremely hideous, and the people and horses were as fierce as the Yaksha Shura, roaring and rushing in the face of the jungle of swords and guns of the Kuizhou army.

"Throw!" Li Tingyu flicked his arm, and the exterminating bullet in his hand arced and landed in the pile of Qing soldiers, following his movements, a large piece of bamboo tube spun and flew out of the head of the white-armored soldier, and smashed out with sparks.

The soldiers of the Qing army were already numb, although they didn't recognize what the Ming army threw out, but the sparkling fool also knew that it must be a firearm, and they had already experienced the baptism of artillery fire, and it was not surprising to encounter a firearm again.

Some Qing soldiers were not afraid of death, and even wanted to pick up the captivity bomb and throw it back, but the Kuizhou soldiers strangled the lead to death, basically exploded when they landed, and the iron nails and broken stones flew instantly, and a new piece of gunpowder rose again.

The magic of the exterminating bullet is that it has shrapnel killing, and it is simply an artifact to deal with large-scale dense crowds, iron nails and gravel are small and hard, and the armor-piercing effect is first-class, and the distance is close, no matter how thick the armor is, it can't protect people's thoughtfulness.

There was another scream, blood splattered, and the killing and wounding caused were even more shocking, and a large number of figures fell, not many dead, but many wounded, lying on the ground and howling in pain, and no one paid attention.

However, there are endless tricks in the Kuizhou army, the exterminating bombs have just exploded, and a rain of arrows has rushed into the sky from behind, and a large number of mountain-destroying crossbows have a unique "Bangbang Bang" bowstring pulling sound mixed into a chorus, mixed with countless short arrows like flying locusts flew over Li Tingyu's head and went straight to the Qing army.

The mountain-destroying crossbow is short and capable, and everyone can hang it on the waist, and the Kuizhou soldiers have one hand, two arrow magazines and twenty arrows, and they can shoot all in one breath. When several thousand people are launched at the same time, it is enough to describe it as destroying mountains and rivers.

Dolgon's face was still blue and expressionless, and he had been sitting still for a long time.

Man Dahai was beside him, his face was flushed, he bit his lip and wanted to bleed, he saw the battle in front of him very clearly, and his heart hurt!

Until now, tens of thousands of lives have been thrown out, but they haven't even touched the side of the Ming army, and if they continue to fight, even if they win, it will be a tragic victory.

He also understood that there was no other way to deal with this Ming army than to admit the reason for death and use people to consume. The firearms are so sharp, they are unprecedented, the copper cannon of the long-range firearm, the giant tiger squat cannon with a short range, the strange bamboo firearm when you get closer, and the crossbow at the end! Such a weapon configuration, long and short, even the Lu Xiang Shengtian Army, which was known as the world of firearms and crossbow armor, was not able to shoot the horse, and the Jurchen Eight Banners despised Shenzhou with cavalry and archery, and they were also unable to resist, and wanted to get close to archery? How can it be!

At this moment, he also understood Dorgon's thoughts, although the firearms are fierce, but in this way, the gunpowder will also be exhausted, so consume it! Let's see who can't hold it first.

Iron bullets are flying, medicine packets are exploding, bamboo tubes are thrown one after another, crossbows are shooting, and all kinds of things are flying in the air, dazzling, and each falling represents death.

The shield cart is useless, the armor is useless, except for the flesh, the Qing army foot soldiers have no other way, and when it comes to the time when even life is useless, what else can they rely on?

What made Man Dahai a little relieved was that the cavalry on both wings, relying on the rapid breakthrough speed, although they paid a huge price like the foot soldiers, at least some people broke through the blockade of firepower and began to appear very close to the artillery positions on both sides of the Ming army.

The guards of the Ming army in two places have shrunk into a group, the front row of birds is firing fiercely, a cloud of green smoke rises, the flames of lead ejection appear frequently, and the pikemen in the back row are desperately shaking their arms, throwing out one after another killing bullets, desperately trying to block the cavalry in close range.

Seeing this, Dolgon's face finally showed a hint of an imperceptible smile.

Okay, that's good, as long as you break through one place, you can detour to both sides of the Ming army, and achieve this goal, it's worth dying so many people!

In the next second, his brows furrowed again, and the hand holding the clairvoyant mirror trembled slightly, although Man Dahai did not have a mirror, he also felt the strangeness of Dolgon, and looked around, and saw the smoke and dust raised by the cavalry of the Ming army.

Two groups of white-armored cavalry rushed out of the gap between the artillery camp and the infantry array, like two white dragons going out to sea, facing the advance of the Qing army's Qing soldiers, and crashed headlong.

On the left is Li Dingguo, and on the right is Ding Guodong.

The cavalry of the Qing army was scattered by artillery, and it was no longer in a queue, and it was precisely because of the dispersion that it was possible to break through the dense artillery blockade and appear in front of the artillery camp, but in this way, it was very bad to meet the Kuizhou cavalry who were lined up like an awl and broke the formation.

The white-armored cavalry was like cutting tofu, and it was easily embedded in the Qing army.

The gunners of the Ming army turned around in time and concentrated their fire on the frontal Qing infantry brigade, leaving the work of the two wings to the cavalry and avoiding accidental injury.

Li Dingguo has a silver armor on the iron face, the people and horses are all covered with a layer of iron, a spear is held in his hand, and the wind is like a long silk dancing.

Ding Guodong wore a heavy helmet with horns, Mingguang armor, bare arms, and a big axe flew up and down, sweeping the eight wildernesses like huge waves.

The two of them, one left and one right, led the white-armored cavalry into the cavalry of the Qing army, and the two cavalry of different colors collided together, one was full of sharpness, and the other was scattered, although it was brave and elite, but there was no concentrated strength, where could it be stopped.

Man Dahai couldn't sit still, and he was secretly frightened: When did the Ming army have such a strong cavalry?

Pinching the hilt of the sword, he heard Dolgon's voice coming: "Mandahai, lead Ge Bush Xianchao Ha battalion to defeat the Ming cavalry!" ”
