Chapter 433: Four or Two Thousand Pounds
~~~~~~
The military order of the Immortal Battalion is like a mountain. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
No matter how unwilling Gangzi was, he didn't dare to disobey the military order, so he hurriedly carried a spear and followed the brothers around him, carrying the wounded soldiers and quickly retreating.
At this time, the pikemen who were injured by the Houjin Army's short-range weapons in the charge just now had also been carried to the rear by the auxiliaries.
But the sons and daughters who died directly in battle, due to the time constraints, could only temporarily stay their bodies on the spot.
At this time, as the remaining Tartars under the wall continued to shout, more and more Tartars poured up on the wall.
With the guidance of these Tartars under the wall, they were no longer in a hurry to jump off the wall, they took off their throwing axes and javelins one after another, and threw them towards the Ming army's battle formation.
In front of the Ming army's battle array, the sword and shield soldiers hurriedly raised their shields to block.
For a while, the 'crackling' sound of the blade hitting the shield was endless.
How could Li Yuanqing make these tartars on the wall so comfortable?
Under his loud shout, the retreating bird-guns came up one after another, and the muzzles of their guns were aimed at the tartars on these walls, and in a moment, the crisp chirping of the bird's guns rang out again.
At this time, although the Tartars on the wall are condescending and have a wide field of vision, on the other hand, the prominent terrain also makes them a living target for the birds.
In an instant, there were dozens of dog Tartars who were throwing short-range weapons, and they were directly knocked away by the birds, screaming in pain, and falling down the wall.
At this time, by Li Yuanqing's side, Joseph couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief when he saw that the Ming army had finally stabilized the formation, but he kept drawing a cross on his chest.
"General, you, your soldiers, are really, truly the bravest warriors! Just now, I thought they were going to ...... God bless! I think that even if the Spaniards were the most proud of the phalanx hoplites, I am afraid that this is the case, right? ”
Thomas also said: "General, your soldiers, it is really an eye-opener for the lowly position. Their bravery, their discipline, is no less than that of the elite warriors of the West. ”
Peter also nodded repeatedly, "Not bad." I even had a delusion. These warriors are even tighter than the elite guards of the Dutch king. ”
Although Joseph and these people have some experience in warfare, they were all born in the sea, and most of the time they spend most of their lives on the sea.
This is the first time they have seen such a fierce head-on confrontation with the army.
Li Yuanqing didn't have time to pay attention to these foreign devils at this time.
The combat power of the main force of the Houjin Army is beyond doubt!
They were the most powerful land power in the whole of East Asia at this time.
Even, even if you look at the whole world, they are definitely the best in the army.
You know, this was only the beginning of the 17th century, the fourth year of the Apocalypse, 1624.
Even the so-called main forces of the Western powers are only just in the era of semi-firearms, or even semi-firearms.
Let them deal with all the cavalry, brave and good at fighting, and the main force of Houjin in its prime, they will also have to turn one head into two big.
Everything becomes clearer with a reference.
At this time, the two divisions of the Changsheng Battalion were able to resist the offensive of Houjin's main force in the front, and the sons and daughters had already proved their strength with their actual performance.
Li Yuanqing knows very well that he has more than 500 years of knowledge and experience in this world, and he and his sons and daughters, even if their combat power is not at the forefront of the world, they have at least approached and even squeezed into the first group.
The most important thing is that the immortal camp is full, and it has been less than four years since it became an army!
This is a new military bloc full of fighting spirit, full of courage, and with absolutely correct leadership direction!
Even though she still has this and that deficiency in all aspects, she is just like Li Yuanqing's age, just 24 years old, just the beginning of stepping into the peak of her life!
As the old saying goes, 'Winter is coming, will spring be far away?' ’
Li Yuanqing has always firmly believed that as long as he continues to work hard and continue to do it in a down-to-earth manner, with his rich experience beyond the world for 500 years, one day, he and his sons will stand on the top of the world and firmly step on the world!!
How can we need Joseph's white-haired crumbs to make a fuss here?
At this time, the main force of the middle line can still maintain the overall situation for the time being, and everything is under Li Yuanqing's control.
On the Western Front, Chen Zhong's side, although they are in a state of entanglement with the dog Tartars, Chen Zhong's follow-up troops are sufficient, and there will not be much abnormality in the short term.
As for Zhang Pan on the eastern front, although Zhang Pan did not have many available troops, only a few dozen guards to support, but there was a riverside fort in the east, and Li Sansheng's department was in charge, and at this time, the battlefield was mainly concentrated on the western front and the central line, and there was no big problem on their side.
However, through this first round of actual combat, Li Yuanqing discovered a big shortcoming of his previous precise planning.
In terms of time and opportunity, he grasped it very well, but the space behind the earthen wall was too flat, and this huge space, although it was conducive to the play of his own pikemen, also gave the Houjin army more room to play.
It's like a flat firepower net, on paper, there are hardly any flaws, but in a real war, the vertical space is seriously insufficient.
To put it more bluntly, the flat terrain makes the bird soldiers, sword and shield soldiers, and pikemen all have to be crowded together, and the connection of the firepower is not enough, but fortunately, there is an earth wall to block it, which can give the sons and daughters a certain buffer time, otherwise, the consequences are unimaginable!
Bang!
Bang bang bang!
The sound of birds is endless.
After a short rest, the Bird Gun soldiers also eased up a lot, concentrated their firepower, and dealt a fierce blow to the Houjin army on the wall.
For a while, these Houjin troops were pressed and couldn't raise their heads, and the speed of the attack was slowed down a lot.
Junzi is also quite clever, he has led nearly a hundred bird guns, directly rushed to the fort commanded by Li Yuanqing before, and took advantage of the condescending advantage of the fort to continue to strike at the Tartars.
However, the Bird Gun Soldiers had been fighting for a long time before, and the Gun Pipes had begun to heat up, and the officers did not dare to open fire anymore, so they could only strike at the Houjin Army in batches.
As a result, the intensity of the firepower was slightly reduced.
But Hou Jin Jun was not willing to suffer this dumb loss.
Behind the earthen wall, the parabolic arrow rain released towards the sky fell from the sky like rain, even if there was a block of sword and shield soldiers in front of him, there were still many children of the Changsheng Battalion who were hit by the rain of arrows.
Fortunately, in such a state, the deterrent power of the Houjin Army's arrow rain is far greater than its actual damage.
The front is full of soldiers of the Ming army, each with fine armor to protect themselves, and the rambling and somewhat unobtrusive rain of arrows of the Houjin army, even if it hits the children, it is at most a slight injury, and it is difficult to shoot the vital point directly fatal.
At this time, under the strong suppression of the Ming army's bird soldiers, the battlefield fell into a stalemate for a while, and the Houjin army could not attack, but there was a rain of arrows to obstruct it, and these dog tartars behind the wall in front of them, the pikemen could not eat them quickly for a while.
By Li Yuanqing's side, Joseph saw that the sycophant magic skill did not work, and he didn't dare to say more, so he hurriedly stood on tiptoe, and carefully looked at the situation in front of him.
Next to him, Thomas and Robert were the same.
Today's head-on confrontation with the army has brought too much impact on their hearts.
They also need time to accept and digest well.
Li Yuanqing Yingting's face did not have much expression.
At this time, although the situation was stable, Li Yuanqing had already realized that this battle was much more stressful than he had imagined before.
The old slave came in person.
The Houjin army will never give up, this battle, I don't know how many good sons and daughters will have to give their lives here!
But the matter has come to this, for the sake of the overall situation, Li Yuanqing can only grit his teeth and hold on!
I can only pray that Mao Wenlong's war on the Eastern Front will go smoothly.
…………
At this time, the battle formation of the Houjin army saw that the main forces had approached the earthen wall, but there was no effective progress.
On the black horse, the old slave's brows furrowed tightly.
If it continues to develop in this state, let alone half an hour, even if it gets dark and can break through the camp of the Ming army, it will already be burning high incense.
In this life, the old slave fought in the south and the north, plundered countless times, and had quite a lot of war experience, but in essence, in his life, there were really not many hard-fought battles.
The bravery of the Jurchen warriors, the strongest place, is strong in their explosiveness.
In many cases, as long as you work hard and most of the war, you can achieve it overnight.
Including the battle of Salhu, in the face of the powerful Ming army, the main force of the Houjin did not actually spend much effort, and as soon as the sharpness was revealed, the Ming army was already somewhat defeated and out of control.
If you want to fight hard and fight bravely, under the whole world, according to the state of the main force of Houjin at this time, they are really no one.
But at this time, Li Yuanqing is like a piece of stinky and hard mud, not only does it stink and smell, but you are hard and he is hard, and you are soft and he is harder.
But if you want to ask him to be tough, he won't accept it directly, so you can't find the way at all.
It's like a hard punch on this piece of mud.
You said it didn't hurt him, a little bit. You say it hurts, but you don't really see much.
On the contrary, my hand hurt a little.
This is quite the essence of Chinese Taijiquan----- meaning of four or two thousand catties.
Although the old slave didn't know much about Taijiquan, he was a lifelong horseman after all, and he soon discovered that the staying power of the Ming army was too strong.
If this situation continues to develop, they will not only lose their troops, but it will also be difficult for them to make actual gains.
This was not a favorable influence on either his majesty or the military spirit of the Later Jin Army.
After a moment of silence, the old slave said coldly: "Daishan, Amin, Mang Gurtai, Yue Tuo, Du Du, a few of you, personally come forward to supervise the battle." Be sure to break through the Ming army's defense line and enter its camp in the shortest possible time! ”
"Wow!"
was named by the old slave himself, how dare these palace Baylors snub?
In a moment, the flags fluttered, and the big flags waved in the wind, heading straight ahead.
The old slave narrowed his eyes slightly, and was silent for a long time.
At this time, in his heart, he was not too sure that he could really eat Li Yuanqing.
Daishan, these big Baylors, stepped forward to supervise the battle, and the old slave's side suddenly became a lot empty.
Although Dorgon and Dodor were young, they also sensed that something was wrong, and they both tightened their little faces and did not say a word.
Next to them, the young princes and nobles of Abatai, Azig, and Zilharang also looked solemn, staring directly at the battle ahead.
In the past few years, Li Yuanqing has been like a bedbug, and his name and news can be heard almost all the time.
This made these young nobles very unhappy.
Especially the seventh elder brother Abatai.
He is 35 years old this year, but because he is a concubine, and for various reasons, he has never had a good chance, and he is now the lowest Beizi, and can only be mixed with little children like Azig, Dorgon, and Duoduo.
Looking at the noise ahead, Abatai clenched his fists.
And what about Big Baylor?
What about the heirs?
I'm afraid that even if they come forward to supervise the battle, they may not necessarily be able to please them.
Suddenly, an inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he had faintly thought of a good way to directly break through Li Yuanqing's camp in the shortest possible time!
