Chapter 285: Eight Banners Athletes, Protect Me Daqing! 【Fourth Update】
"Commander-in-chief, commander-in-chief, the sailors have blown up the pontoon bridge on the Salt River......"
"What about the infantry on the South Road? Is there any of our infantry on the other side? ”
Huang Jie received a report from the scouts, and the explosion from the direction of the Yunyan River was indeed the work of the sailors, but on the other side of the Yunyan River, the scouts did not find the large-scale Fu Han army Lu Yong haunting.
"Promptly report this news to the Grand Governor." Huang Jie didn't have the extra energy to pay attention to why the Fu Han army on the southern road did not appear, but let the sailors fight alone, and he was not interested in knowing how many sailors had lost in order to smash the five pontoon bridges, and he was now only concerned about the warships under his eyelids.
The musket battalion easily defeated the 5,000 Qing army, but the damage to the enemy was not too much, and the Qing army's horse team was killed, and the front-line troops who had just put on a pursuit posture immediately stopped their footsteps.
The Qing army fled on the road left muskets everywhere, but the first-line Fu Han army did not go much to the covetousness, with the arrival of the Eight Banners Horse Team, the five battalions of musketeers became five large hollow arrays, each large hollow array is composed of a small hollow array. The hollow array of the Fu Han Army was based on the team. A large number of small mortars are arranged in it.
Huang Jie ordered the third-line troops to continue to move forward, especially the artillery, to converge with the original second-line artillery team and the current first-line artillery positions, and then the artillery positions of the main artillery positions also began to move forward one after another.
Buckets of water were poured on the barrels, and the scorching heat of the barrels steamed and obscured the sun in the sky.
The Han army and the Qing army were like this on both sides. With the start of the artillery battle, water has become a very bright problem. In particular, the cannons on both sides were all heavy at the beginning.
Moreover, the artillery battle was carried out until the second-line artillery team that moved forward opened fire, and the artillery arranged in the rear of the Qing army was also decisively moved to the front line by Hailancha.
In Jiangyan Town, Miao Fuwei watched the attack of the Qing army in front of him, while raising troops as much as possible, thinking about how to stab the Qing soldiers in the back at the necessary moment. While the Qing army on the south road was coping with the fierce counterattack of the Fu Han army, they were also doing their best to repair the smashed pontoon bridge.
Because of the battle between the elite of the Fu Han army and the elite of the Qing army against Mai Mang behind Jiangyan Town, accompanied by the defeat of 5,000 Qing army musketeers, accompanied by the attack of the Eight Banners Horse Team, taking advantage of the opportunity of the smoke of gunpowder to sweep the Fu Han army musketeers, but they hit their heads in front of the hollow array, lost a small hundred men and horses, and had to retreat to the large army.
Dai Peng is a native of Shengjing Phoenix, Oroqen, Manchuria is the Yellow Banner, he was originally the banner of Phoenix, the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the first year of Shunzhi, set up the Phoenix City Guard Officer (is the third product, the military and political integration of the body, equivalent to the city-level system), in the 26th year of Kangxi, set up the Phoenix City Guard, the jurisdiction of yellow, white, red, blue 8 flag offices, subordinate to the Fengtian general. Dai Peng is to which the Zhenghuang Banner belongs. If there are no major changes, he will stay in Phoenix for the rest of his life. Dai Peng took advantage of the opportunity of Qianlong's training of the Eight Banners New Army, and only for the first time in his life did he walk out of Shengjing for the first time in his life, and for the first time he really knew how big the Qing Dynasty was.
After becoming a member of the Eight Banners New Army, Dai Peng trained hard and seriously, and soon mentioned the commission of the Shotgun Guard Military Academy, although from the official position this is only an eight-rank sesame official, but the salary of the Eight Banners New Army is higher than that of other troops, and Dai Peng's monthly silver is comparable to that of an adjutant. And his family is small, it was originally an ordinary Eight Banners family, but now his life has changed suddenly, and Dai Peng's loyalty to Emperor Qianlong can be said to be evident every day. This time, the Eight Banners New Army went south, and everyone gave a reward of five taels of silver, which made the ordinary Eight Banners soldiers in the New Army boil, and everyone was grateful. And for the troubled Han army of the Qing Dynasty, he hated it even more.
When he walked forward with the sound of drums, Dai Peng secretly swore in his heart that he must advance without retreating and not be afraid of death. Kill the rebels of the Han army and raise the military prestige of the children of the Eight Banners.
As a result, the fighting spirit of the Eight Banners New Army, which numbered more than 1,000 people, could not be lifted by the blow of a bullet, and the fighting spirit of the Eight Banners New Army was indeed much stronger than that of the firearms battalion and the shotgun unit on the side, and there were still people shouting and assembling during the shelling, intending to counterattack the Han army array. Dai Peng is one of them.
Two of his musketeers were killed by flowering shells, and Dai Peng was furious and thirsty for revenge. But in the end, they still fled in embarrassment under the neat row of guns of the Fu Han army, due to the response of the Eight Banners Horse Team, the loss of 5,000 musketeers was actually not very serious, but many people lost their muskets, and now they are embarrassed empty-handed.
Dai Peng's musket was not lost, and the bayonet was well inserted into his waist, but he was sitting on the ground with a fire in his heart. He's not just angry with those allies, he's angry with himself. When the rows of guns rained down, he was really timid.
Dai Peng didn't run slowly when he ran away, but now that he has calmed down, Dai Peng is especially ashamed of his behavior.
So don't see the shells constantly falling in the military position, and the sound of drums and trumpets is always ringing in his ears, but he is not afraid at all. Shame can make people have a very strong force, and there is an idiom in China called: shame and courage. In the late Qing Dynasty in the original time and space history, after being beaten again and again, there was always a time of two or three years of hard work.
The anti-party artillery of the Fu Han Army was very powerful, but Dai Peng was very calm, and he had no fear of shells in his heart, as if he was at home, he sat on the ground with his head bowed, and the shells whistled over his head.
In the midst of the loud military song, the five musket battalions of the Fu Han Army that had broken forward converged with the three armor battalions that followed up, and put up a frontal array with banners more than five miles wide, approaching the Qing army's position.
Iron bullets whistled, some from the artillery shells of the Qing soldiers, and some from their own artillery fired at the Tartar positions. With the artillery, the passionate military songs in the army continued, and they became louder and louder, accompanied by the sound of drums, and the follow-up military formations of the Fu Han Army were also constantly advancing.
The huge sound of drums covered up the screams of the casualties, and also made the fear of the veterans at the head of the battalion drop a lot. After the Battle of Wuxi, he was directly transferred to the main battalion, although he only held the position of battalion deputy.
He hopes to sit in the position of the main battalion officer with real merit, rather than letting people look at his surname and 'suddenly realize'.
In the camp of the Qing army, Hailancha's face showed the ferocity of a desperate battle, and a rough voice sounded: "...... The battalion generals personally supervised the battle, and there was no retreat in this battle; Anyone who dares to retreat will be ......"
The whistling sound resounded all over the front and back of the Qing array, and the dense saber spears were raised high, erected like a forest.
The deputy capital of the Xiao cavalry battalion, Tong Chunshan, personally led the formation, and thousands of horses neighed, like a surging flood, from the flank to the attacking Fu Han army.
At the same time, in front of the Qing army, the reorganized musketeers once again lined up and rushed over to meet the Han army. Behind these musketeers were a large number of elite soldiers of the Qing army armed with swords and guns, hand-to-hand soldiers, and in front of them were the death battalions and Shandong Lian Yong, which had just suppressed a wave of revolt and were reorganized, as well as the green battalion of Daimyo Town. The artillery of the Qing army no longer used two hearts -- one to bombard the Fu Han army, and the other to target the artillery of the Fu Han army.
Seeing the layout of the Qing army clearly, Huang Jie had a disdainful sneer on his face. I heard that Hailancha is also a general, but in fact it is nothing more than that.
He left four battalions to guard the artillery units, and he himself led the remaining four battalions behind the front-line troops, and the armored units were also waiting behind the layers of musketeers. The armor soldiers of the Fu Han Army were thorough, and the iron armor on their bodies glowed with a cold light in the sun.
At this time, a sharp whistle sounded in front of the army, and the order came: "Prepare for battle!" ”
The officers shouted one after another: "Prepare for battle!" ”
The military singing stopped, the drums became louder, and the battalion officers at the head of each battalion stepped forward in unison, waved the waist knife in their hands and slammed forward, shouting with all their strength: "Tiger! ”
Like them, the dense armor soldiers and musketeers of the Fu Han Army also stepped forward and roared. The majestic roar resounded throughout the sky and in all directions.
The drum sounded again, and all the officers and soldiers of the Fu Han Dynasty stepped forward, and for the second time, they mustered up all their strength and roared: "Tiger! ”
The drums of "Knock ......" were like thunder, and even in the continuous sound of cannons, they could be heard clearly. The front army shouted up and down for the third time: "Tiger! ”
This is the Qi family's army two hundred years ago's three beatings and blows, three shouts and three advances, and three drinking tiger characters, Chen Ming felt that this style could greatly improve the courage and fighting spirit of the soldiers in battle, and it was used in the Fu Han army as early as possible.
Shouting with one voice, majestic slogans, and countless comrades-in-arms around him, it is an indescribable power. Exists only in the army. I don't know how many recruits of the Fu Han Army left behind the tension of the recruits' first battle in such a shout, and their bodies were full of strength.
At this time, the Eight Banners Horse Brigade, which came like a surging flood, was not far from the left flank of the Fu Han Army's infantry formation.
At noon on 3 October, the battle between the Han army and the Qing army entered the second stage -- a duel and a battle to the death.
The soldiers of the death battalion and Shandong Lian Yong, who were brought by Hailancha, were also forced by the musketeers of the Qing army at this time, and rushed towards the front line of the Fu Han army.
The Fu Han army has no breastwork, ramparts and fences, antlers, no ravines and horse traps, flat arrays, or thin flanks corresponding to the Eight Banners horse team, Chunshan held a big knife in his hand, and shouted loudly: "As long as it is a master, it will be the same as the capital, kill, kill all the rebellious parties......"
"Eight Banners Athletes, protect me from the Qing Dynasty!"
"Eight Banners Athletes, protect me from the Qing Dynasty!"
Between the lightning and flint, Chunshan's brain flashed and shouted a slogan that greatly boosted the morale of the Eight Banners Horse Team. Just like the "Tiger Tiger and Tiger" shouted by the Fu Han Army, the Eight Banners were also very willing to put themselves on the heavy task of defending the Qing Dynasty. "Eight Banners Athletes, protect me from the Qing Dynasty!"
"Kill—"
The horses neighed, the people shouted, the horse team rushed forward, and soon it was close to the left flank of the Fu Han army 200 steps away, and then saw the Fu Han army musket battalion on the left side striding forward, the queue suddenly changed, the people on the side took five steps back, the people inside accelerated their pace, and all of a sudden, the long snake became a terraced field with shoes.
"Bang bang bang ......bang" whistle, gunshots rang out. Compared with the sound of the cannon, the crispness of this gunfire is like frying beans in a frying pan, and the soybeans burst into the pot. (To be continued.) )
