Chapter 110: Battle [Collect]

ps: I will send it again.

"Boom, boom...... Boom Boom Boom ......"

Chen Ming had clearly heard the roar, thousands of horses' hooves trampling the ground, and the sound of war horses galloping was really shocking.

"Order the cavalry battalion and prepare for battle."

Through the telescope, through the rising dust and smoke not far away, through the dust, Chen Ming could clearly see the vigorous figure of four or five hundred horsemen riding the Qing army. After suffering a big loss under Yuncheng, the Guidetown horse team, which suffered serious losses, was merged into the Yunyang Town horse team by Fode, and the number of troops recovered to four or five hundred horsemen.

Leading this cavalry was Liu Yandong, the general of the Yunyang City garrison in Yunyang Town.

Liu Yandong rode his horse and galloped in the middle of the team, with nearly 500 horseback teams in front of him and behind him closely following. Although the equipment is no different from that of ordinary green battalion soldiers, with the strength and speed of mules and horses, Chen Ming is absolutely unwilling to experience the lethality of this army. 、

"Ah...... Ah......h Liu Yandong couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly shouted forward and asked, "What happened to the front army?" ”

When I heard the questioning, I heard a few screams.

"My lord, the thief army has dug traps and horse traps in front, and Wu Qian and a few brothers are carrying them inside." A Qing army officer rushed to Liu Yandong on horseback and reported with his fists in his fist.

The speed of the war horse did not decrease, and in a moment, Liu Yandong rushed to the place of the accident, and saw his cronie Wu Youfu kneeling on the ground in ashes, comforting a war horse with a broken leg. Liu Yandong recognized that the war horse lying on the ground was Wu Youfu's mount, a very ordinary and ordinary horse, and there was no wonder horse. At the moment, his neck is folded, and he is already dying.

Turning his gaze ahead, he saw that there were two large pits and more than a dozen small holes the size of thin bowls on the flat surface, several of which still had bloody horse legs.

"Damn bastard." Liu Yandong pointed to the gap where Chen Mingbu was in the distance and scolded.

"Order, the horse team will go around the border......" Liu Yandong did not hesitate, and immediately issued an order. Originally, he wanted to lead four or five hundred cavalry to run around first, get close to scare and scare the enemy, deter Chen Ming's troops on the opposite side, mobilize the artillery fire of the Chen family's army, and then attack together when the infantry brigade in front launched a counterattack......

But looking at it now, I can only change my mind. The thieves have been in control of the area since yesterday afternoon, and over the course of a night, the devil knows how many holes they have dug in the land.

Liu Yandong always remembered what the mission of his trip was, which was to mobilize the attention of the Chen family's thief soldiers and contain the thief army's horse team, rather than really stabbing Chen Jiajun in the back. So, slowing it down isn't a big deal. As for whether it can cooperate with the offensive of the large army in the front, it is up to fate.

Ma Wenjie led the 3,000 green battalion soldiers in Yunyang Town, as well as the small 2,000 militia group villagers, pushing cannons, and came violently. They relied on the two stockades at the forefront, and the rumbling of bilateral artillery exchanges had already resounded across the battlefield.

Chen Ming knew that the Qing army horse team led by Liu Yandong had a greater role in containment, but he had to transfer the cavalry battalion to face the pressure of the Qing army's horse team. As for the artillery bombardment on the frontal battlefield, the Qing army did not engage in infantry attacks at the same time as the artillery bombardment, and it was obvious that the Qing commander on the opposite side preferred to use artillery to achieve more victories.

Chen Ming had at least 2,000 people on the frontal battlefield, not counting the cavalry battalion, the camp of the Chen family army was behind the battlefield, and the Chen family army had been attacking in the previous two days. Chen Ming used the tactics of artillery + infantry to pull out three camps of the Qing army. Of course, this did not cause much actual damage to the Qing army, and the Qing army's 'backward forward' tactic was very skillful.

Two days later, the Qing army also really built several strong military villages. These military fortresses, which are fenced with thigh-thick tree trunks on the outside and built with a low wall a foot thick inside, are not something that the Chen family's artillery can easily destroy. However, the Chen family's army, which had been in an offensive posture for the past two days, was still the same as it was two days ago.

The artillery battle lasted from the morning until the eve of dusk, when the Qing army officially engaged in the offensive infantry team.

"Order the musket battalion, go up—" Chen Ming was not willing to avoid it at all. What is he afraid of? The Qing army on the opposite side did not dare to engage in an infantry attack for the first time until it was dark, so timid, so cautious, the general who led the troops may be cautious, but on the other hand, doesn't he still attach great importance to the Chen family's army?

The Qing army must have been afraid that a defeat would be out of control, so they chose to use troops at dusk. Even if the Chen family army defeated them, they couldn't chase them and cover them up, because it was getting dark, because the Qing army was not only in front of them.

In the whistle of "Dididi......", with the musket battalion as the core, about 600 musketeers were neatly lined up in five columns. Move forward in unison with the piercing whistle that is very penetrating on the battlefield.

On the opposite side of them were 1,500 shotguns of the Qing army, including not only the troops of Yunyang Town, but also some of the men and horses of Guide Town.

Fifteen hundred spearmen were arranged in five columns, and the width of 300 men was only one-third more than that of the Chen family's army, and the Qing army even ignored the disadvantages of arquebuses in order to pursue vitality and density. The sequence density of the team is much greater than that of Chen Jiajun.

The artillery on either side could only let out a few roars. The artillery battle between the two sides lasted for almost a day, and the intermittent period of fire from the artillery on both sides was almost 'coordinated'. At this moment, whether it is the artillery position of the Qing army or the artillery position of the Chen family's army, the artillery on both sides are all seizing the time to cool down the artillery and pour water.

Whether it is the artillery fire of the Qing army or the artillery fire of the Chen family, you have to take a sauna like this if you shoot ten rounds and eight rounds slowly. Idea, it's still going to be slow. When you really go all out, half an hour, the Chen Jiajun artillery, which is even better in quality than the Qing army's artillery, must stop and cool it down for half an hour. As for whether the artillery of the Qing army will be fired to make a big health care, only their own gunners know.

No matter how poor the accuracy of the artillery in this era is, it is still accurate to hit a large area of infantry phalanx. Whether it was the Qing army or the Chen army, the musketeers on both sides had not yet exchanged fire, so they first contributed a few bloody roads under the shells of the other side.

Chen Jiajun suffered three and a half cannons here, one of which hung a horn, and killed and wounded 23 soldiers. The Qing army was hit by five cannons, and Chen Ming did not know the specific casualty figures. It's just that in the telescope, you can see that there is a faint commotion in the Qing army array.

When the distance between the two sides entered about 100 paces, the Qing army opened fire first. One group of people stopped and put their guns down, while the other group continued to move forward, and the rhythm was out of order, and the array was out of order.

Ma Wenjie's hand holding the telescope was eager to twist the copper monocular, his mouth was tight, and his eyes were full of murderous energy. The performance of the Qing army's shotgunners made him angry, making him want to draw a knife and cut people!

This group of unsuccessful things, look at the thief army on the other side? A group of thieves can advance like a wall, but they are officers and soldiers, but they are the soldiers of the imperial court......
