Grenades, this kind of weapon has long existed in China, but most of them are used to defend the city, such as the earth-shaking thunder used by the Ming army, which is the name of the grenade in China. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In fact, it already existed in Europe in the 15th century, but like its Chinese counterparts, it was only used as a weapon for fortress defense. It was only a few years later that King Louis XIV of France reformed the army. However, at this moment, in the eighth year of Yongli, in 1654 AD, even the Sun King himself was afraid that he had never seen the grenadiers.

The grenades of this era, because they were filled with black powder, were not small in size in order to ensure their power, so they had to be thrown with superior arm strength, such as the Prussian Giants of Potsdam is a more extreme example. Moreover, the primitive method of ignition of the fuse meant that the soldiers who used the grenades had to have a great deal of courage, so even in Europe, only veterans of the war were often able to do it.

Lu Yihao is just such a veteran, he has been in the Zhejiang Ming Army for many years, and his rank is fully qualified to be the infantry captain of the war barracks, but after receiving the order, he immediately joined this grenadier detachment.

The power of the grenade was not amazing compared to later generations, and the instantaneous explosion and a few fragments looked like an oversized firecracker, but when it was thrown into a dense phalanx, it caused a large number of casualties in just this instant, and the Qing army in the central area of the explosion was even more blown up to the point of a splattered of flesh and blood.

Moreover, this kind of killing and wounding is not only the one thrown by Lu Yihao, there are more than a dozen grenadiers thrown at the Qing army with him, and the left front part of the rear camp of Jingbiao Town can be said to have almost no dead end, all within the range of this series of explosions.

On the battlefield, a large number of Qing troops were knocked to the ground in this sudden killing, although only the center of the explosion of each grenade, and the Qing troops who were actually hit by those shrapnel were seriously injured, and the others were at most slightly burned, but the air wave of the explosion still bombarded them in all directions, and the entire phalanx could no longer maintain its original posture.

The explosion not only caused damage, but also shocked everyone present with the sound of the explosion that overwhelmed the shouts of killing. Whether it was the Ming army like Liao Yiran or the Qing army, they were all shocked by the suddenness of the explosion. For a time, even the desperate assassination was left behind.

The shock of this moment made the soldiers of the two soldiers of the Ming and Qing dynasties who were close to them all forget the battle that was still going on here, but there were some people on the battlefield who did not forget, but took advantage of this gap to kill.

Taking off the shield behind his back and pulling out the deliberately lengthened Qi knife at his waist, Lu Yihao took the lead in rushing into the phalanx of the Qing army that was blasted open by grenades, and slashed and killed it wantonly.

The first scream woke up the Qing troops around them, but at the same time, it also woke up the Ming troops who were in a daze. As the iron-masked man composed of two troops rushed into the phalanx of the Qing army, the Ming army's mandarin duck formation also showed a small three-talented formation that was more suitable for attack, and strode into the rhythm of chopping melons and vegetables.

The density of the phalanx brought advantages, but also brought fatal deaths, when the phalanx could not be maintained, and the Qing army was attached to the close quarters and became a live target for the Ming army with shorter weapons.

The Iron Mask Man slashed frantically, and the grenades even became a foil, and those ghost-like masks accompanied by a mad tiger-like slaughter destroyed the Qing army in front of them, and the mandarin duck array that followed was even more perfect to give full play to its flexible characteristics, tearing apart the two phalanxes attacked by the grenadiers like sharp arrows.

The spear is five feet long, and it is still five meters, this weapon is not timid in front of the Ming army's spear array, but when the Ming army's short soldiers rushed to the close, the Qing army did not even have a chance to counterattack.

He hacked several Qing soldiers to death in a row, and the limited warrior who tried to fight back was also shaken off the tip of the spear by a shield, and rushed to close range and hacked it to death.

At this moment, Lu Yihao stepped on the Qing army that no longer knew whether it was dead or alive, killing every Qing army in sight like the Ming army around him, and brutally killing the entire Qing army's battle array to a rout. It wasn't until a moment later that he saw a figure under the general's banner from a distance, and with a loud shout, the iron-masked people who rushed over with him rushed forward one after another.

………………

"Array, rearray!"

Regardless of Zhao Liangdong's shouting, he was responsible for personally visiting the battlefield to command the rear battalion of Jingbiaozhong Town, and the elite who had been trained in the past few months to push clothes and food and food, at the moment when the grenadiers, the ace of the modern army, showed their posture for the first time, they fell into collapse with the Ming army that took advantage of the chaos to enter the phalanx.

In fact, when the explosion sounded just now, Zhao Liangdong had already realized the danger, but the situation was changing so fast that he didn't even have time to react, and the phalanx had already been broken through by the Ming army.

On the battlefield, the Ming army that entered the rear and right battalions of Jingbiaozhong Town frantically slashed and killed the Qing army, while the Qing army in a dense phalanx had no room to regroup because the speed of retreat could never compare with the charge.

In the face of the Ming army, which was like a mad tiger slaughtering into the flock, the Qing army of these two phalanxes fell into a state of collapse almost instantly, and the spearmen gave up the attack and fled, but they could not move an inch in the dense formation, but were killed on the spot by the Ming army who caught up.

Zhao Liangdong shouted loudly, but the army was crushed like a mountain, and he was not alone who could turn the tide. At this moment, according to normal circumstances, when the formation collapses, the main general is unable to return to the sky, so he naturally wants to try to escape, but the formation is too dense, the grenades have caused too much chaos, and the phalanx collapses, he is in the center of the phalanx, but it is difficult for him to move an inch.

………………

The person Lu Yihao saw was Zhao Liangdong, the phalanx collapsed too quickly, and he was already targeted by the Ming army before he managed to break out of the encirclement of the rout. In an instant, Lu Yihao had already rushed to the front and slashed over, but unexpectedly, one of Zhao Liangdong's personal soldiers pounced and slashed at him, making Zhao Liangdong staggered to avoid the knife.

A knife was slashed on the body, and the nail leaf was even split and bent a few pieces, and the middle knife also felt pain, but this nail piece was too thick, and it did not break the nail leaf, causing effective damage to Lu Yihao, but Lu Yihao, who was hindered by this Qing army, raised his big foot wearing iron boots and kicked the personal soldier out with one kick.

"Son of a bitch, phew!"

Kicking away the pro-soldier, Lu Yihao re-anchored his gaze to Zhao Liangdong's body.

"You keep driving away the Tartars, this guy is mine!"

The voice fell, it seemed that he was provoked by Lu Yihao, but Zhao Liangdong gave up his wishful thinking of turning the tide, pulled out his sword and rushed towards Lu Yihao.

………………

As the grenadiers in the Iron Mask broke through the phalanx of the Qing army, the follow-up troops of the Ming army also took advantage of the situation to completely tear apart the two battalions on the right and rear of Jingbiao Town. On the battlefield, the trend of breaking through in the middle has been initially formed, and the Qing troops of the two phalanxes were also driven to the other phalanxes by the Ming army like ducks.

All of this was seen in Hong Chengchou's eyes, the change was so fast that the civil and military generals around him didn't even have time to react, but it was the old man who had reached the age of the sixtieth century to stand up first, and ordered the rear battalion of Jingbiao Left Town, the right battalion of Jingbiao Right Town, and the second left front battalion of Jingbiaozhong Town, which followed up with the two battalions of Jingbiaozhong Town, to immediately turn to the defensive and adopt a killing attitude towards the Qing army that had been expelled.

"Those who dare to storm the phalanx will be killed!"

Hong Chengqiu's reaction was not slow, Daniel Zhang was faster, and even before Hong Chengqing's order was issued, he had already shouted these words.

The distance between the various phalanxes of the Qing army was very close, but fortunately, Daniel Zhang, Hu Maozhen and Li Benshen were all veteran generals who had been in battle for a long time, and the green battalion soldiers under their command were also from the elite of the Ganshan green battalion. While the two battalions on the right and rear of Zhongzhen were suddenly attacked by the Ming army and fell into a state of collapse, the four battalions on the left also immediately gave up the attack and put on a defensive posture.

The Qing army kept shouting, but there were still many panicked routs that crashed into the spear forest. These Qing soldiers are veterans of battle, and naturally they understand the importance of it, whenever a Qing army rushes over, they will not hesitate to stab them to death in front of the formation, and no one will be allowed to disrupt their phalanx.

Gradually, the rout of the two battalions would try to bypass the phalanx while retreating, and soon only the pursuing Ming army was left in front of the Qing army.

The Qing army was in strict formation, and the Ming army had to regroup in order to be in order. Hand-to-hand combat was about to break out, but at this moment, the iron-masked men with cloth bags on their waists divided into a dozen or so, lit the round grenades in their hands, aimed at the center of the Qing army's formation, and threw them.

The front and left battalions of Jingbiaozhong Town were the battalion leaders who had just been ravaged by ricochet shots, and the soldiers and morale inevitably suffered a lot of losses, but under the strict orders from Hong Chengqi and Daniel Zhang, they did not hesitate to show their defensive formation.

However, when the grenadiers of the Ming army exerted their might again, this kind of collapse was also inevitably staged again, especially when a grenade was thrown in front of the guerrilla Wang Jinbao in the front camp of Jingbiao Town, and the front battalion of the main general and the general's flag disappeared in an instant, and completely collapsed before the Ming army pounced.

The front battalion and the left battalion of the central town were like this, but the two battalion heads on the left and right flanks of the middle town were even more faced with the dilemma of resisting the enemy at the same time on the front and flank. When the grenade exploded in the phalanx, the order and firm fighting spirit that maintained the phalanx suddenly turned into nothingness, and the collapse was only at this moment.

The Ming army relied on grenadiers to open the way, and the brutal tactics of hand-to-hand infantry follow-up easily destroyed one phalanx after another of the Qing army. At this moment, the overall formation of the Qing army has been torn apart by the Ming army from the west-central area, the second battalion of Shentang and Feixiong in the Ming army was commanded by Lou Jiye to drive out the left flank of the Qing army, and the three battalions of Nantang, Lishui and Chun'an were driven away from the middle and right flank of the Qing army under the command of Wu Dengke, and behind their flank, Chen Wen personally carried the reserve formation to follow up in case of emergency.

"Strategy, let's send out the cavalry. Only by killing Chen Wen can we turn the tables! ”

Hu Quancai's loud voice aroused everyone's approval, and after two years, it was the embarrassment that Hong Chengchou faced the imminent defeat of the army, and only by sending out cavalry to fight and try to kill Chen Wen could he win. However, he did not give it a go like Chen Jin in the first battle of Shentangyuan.

"All the cavalry is dispatched to cover the retreat of all departments!"

"Warp!"

Looking at the staff and generals around him, Hong Chengchou shook his head with a bitter face: "We have already lost, what we have to do now is not to let the cavalry hit the spear forest that Chen Wen is waiting for, but to try to bring back more soldiers." Only in this way can we defend Guangxin Mansion City for the imperial court! ”

The topography of Guangxin Province is mountainous in the north and south, and there is only a flat area from Yushan all the way to the west. Once the Qing army loses Guangxin Mansion, the whole of Jiangxi will not be guaranteed, and only with 3,000 Fubiao battalions will not be able to hold Nanchang at all, even if Hu Yousheng's Nangan Town Standard is transferred back, it is no play, because these two armies have not even practiced the Spanish phalanx, and it is impossible to block the Ming army's troops!

Only Guangxin Mansion, or even the fortress of Guangxin Mansion, is the only possibility. This truth is well understood by everyone present, but in such a situation, the temptation to turn the tables is eye-catching, and Hong Chengchou's style of playing for stability in defeat naturally cannot satisfy everyone's thirst.

"Jingluo, how do you know if you don't fight once?!"

From the old man of Jinglu to Jinglu, this imminent fiasco has undoubtedly eroded Hong Chengchou's prestige, and even gradually escalated as early as the Tongzhejiang case, with the news of the defeat of the southern party in the Qing court in the party struggle, there are already many people in the southeastern officialdom who are not optimistic about Hong Chengchou's future prospects. And at the moment, it's just a small outburst.

However, the grade identity of the four southeastern provinces is like this, and Hong Chengchou's years of accumulated power are even more shocking to everyone around him, when his gaze swept to everyone, everyone, including Hu Quancai, bowed their heads to avoid this bloody edge.

"Execute the order."

………………

After a bloody battle, the Ming army defeated the main force of the Qing army in a battle on the main battlefield, but when the Qing cavalry, which was several times the cavalry of the Ming army, was dispatched, the Ming army, which was still continuing to pursue, had to rearrange the hollow phalanx in a battalion or bureau to enter a defensive state to prevent being taken advantage of by the Qing army.

In this way, although the infantry of the Qing army moved slowly, the pursuit of the Ming army was greatly reduced, and most of them still successfully withdrew from the battlefield. Only those cavalry continued to fall under the fire of the Ming army's musketeers and foot archers, and did not withdraw from the battlefield until the Qing army's infantry escaped safely, but they inevitably suffered great losses. As a result, when Chen Wen released his cavalry at the last moment, these were quite brave in the face of the Mongols, the Han Hui Righteous Army and the remnants of the Dashun Army in Gansu, Shaanxi and Ningxia, and they did not even have the strength to fight a battle, and were forced to leave behind a large number of routs and almost all the baggage, and withdrew from the battlefield in a hurry.

In the afternoon, the Qing army gradually retreated across Yulang Creek with a large number of pontoon bridges built before, and turned towards Guangxin Fucheng. On the side of the Ming army, the main force followed up, and soon joined up with the Ming army trapped in Yushan County, taking advantage of the situation to sweep the camp of the Qing army, and swept away the troops behind the palace and the auxiliary soldiers left for delay. After only a few days of rest, they can advance westward and besiege the strategic location of Guangxin Fucheng. (To be continued.) )
