Chapter 1071: Five to Ten Thousand
readx; Throughout the night, Huang Taiji was almost tormented by the "shameless" tactics of the Ming army, and he was about to go crazy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info———. {}{}{}{}].
His envisaged situation in which the Ming army continued to advance and exposed his flanks did not appear, and after the Ming army advanced to the outer edge of the moat, the last advance was not in a straight line, but a semicircular trench was dug, and the two ends of the trench were connected to the previous one.
In this way, although the front end is fifty steps forward, according to the geometric principle of the same area of graphics and the shortest circumference of the circle, the flank firepower of the Ming army is also quite dense, and it can retreat to the previous trench at any time, and the Qing army dares to attack easily.
But the purpose of the Ming army was not to let the Qing army live in peace for a moment. After the position was consolidated, the "cavalry" of the Ming army finally went out. But this kind of cavalry is not a regular cavalry unit of the Ming army, because the 3,000 battalion, which is the main force of cavalry, has been under the command of Hao Yongzhong, and now it is not in the Beijing division at all. Although they also rode horses, they were actually snipers of the Shenji Battalion.
Each time they attacked, they did not make many sorties, that is, five men and five horsemen, each carrying three already loaded flint Lu Mi guns, broke through to a distance of about 150 paces from the Qing army sentry and stopped, and then immediately loaded their guns, aimed, and fired.
If the Qing soldiers were killed, or were frightened and retreated, the snipers stopped in place for a moment to reload their ammunition, then took a few more steps forward with the reins and continued to shoot, aim, and shoot on their horses. Anyway, the range of Lu Mi Gong far exceeds the range of the Qing army's bow and arrow, the Ming army can hit the Qing army, but the Qing army can't beat the Ming army.
When the Qing army could not bear it anymore, it also organized several short assaults, and all of them were white-armored soldiers, trying to encircle and annihilate the Ming army on the spot. But the snipers were very clever, as long as they saw the Qing army dispatching, they would run away without saying a word.
Although the Qing army's war horses were indeed better than the Ming army's foot strength, the distance between the two sides was more than one hundred and fifty steps, that is, half a mile. No matter how fast the Qing army runs, it is impossible to catch up with the Ming army within three miles and half a mile.
Before the distance shrunk much, the Ming snipers had already withdrawn to their positions, and the thousands of Ming troops on the position were waiting for the Qing army to send them to the door. The Qing army came less, and it was not enough to fill the gaps between the teeth of hundreds of bird-fighting hands; If it comes too much, the blossom cannon will speak again. After several times in this way, the Ming army was unscathed, and the Qing army lost more than a dozen white-armored soldiers.
Seeing that his personal guard, the most elite white-armored soldiers in the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry, were killed one by one, Huang Taiji was so distressed that he was about to shed tears. There were more than 100,000 people in the Eight Banners, and there were only 3,000 white-armored soldiers, who were all warriors who were one in a hundred, and they were also the weapons that swore allegiance to him and deterred other Manchu nobles. If the white armor soldiers are wiped out, it will be a question how long he, the emperor of the Great Qing Kingdom, can be the emperor. Therefore, Huang Taiji didn't care about keeping his face in front of the blue flag, and angrily ordered all the white-armored soldiers to retreat to the camp, and the camp gate was closed to avoid suffering more losses.
But as soon as the Qing army retracted, the snipers of the Ming army came up like kraft candy. It's not like you don't come out, it's okay, the snipers aren't in a hurry. Originally, all three Lumi guns were loaded, and they could all be fired quickly. But they are like cats playing with mice, sometimes banging and banging all three shots, and then slowly reloading; Sometimes he didn't shoot for a long time with a gun in his hand. The more they didn't fight, the more worried the Qing army became, because no one knew if in the next second, the lead bullet that could penetrate the iron armor would fly towards their heads.
In fact, the Ming army only had a total of five snipers at a time, and not every shot could hit, so the lethality to the Qing army was really limited. However, this psychological pressure was too great, and the Qing army was not equipped with shields, so they could not use shields to protect themselves like the Ming army. In desperation, I had to launch a few improvised trucks, and then ordered dozens of soldiers to hold wooden planks and talk about them for protection.
It is true that the car is not afraid of lead bullets, but it is impossible to block it so tightly, at least within three feet of the ground without covering. As for the planks, the defensive effect is much worse, and although buckshot may not be able to penetrate the plank, it will definitely break the plank.
And if the sawdust is flying, it will still hurt people, just the moment it was bombarded, the great psychological impact it brought to people was enough to make the Qing soldiers behind paralyzed to the ground. At this time, it was naturally not the white-armored soldiers who went to block the guns, and the Derge class had to order the soldiers of the blue flag, and if one collapsed, he would remove the next, and then replace one person and go back on, and all the soldiers were in distress.
In this way, there was an unprecedented spectacle on the battlefield: the five members of the Ming army actually pressed more than 10,000 people of the Qing army to fight, but the more than 10,000 people could only be turtles with shrunken heads, and they didn't even dare to let go of a flat fart!
However, after fighting for a while, the Ming army really failed to bring many casualties to the Qing army. Just when Huang Taiji breathed a sigh of relief, the Ming army played a new trick.
It turned out that the night had slowly faded at this time, and the five snipers of the Ming army could see more and more clearly in the morning light. Three of them were still sitting upright on their horses, loading and shooting unhurriedly with their guns, while the other two, as if tired from their horses, jumped off their horses and played a game of two against them.
Huang Taiji was puzzled, and it happened that the eunuch Yang Chun had been beside him, so Huang Taiji asked, "Do you know what the Ming army is doing?" ”
Yang Chun squinted at the female dog for a while, and then said flatteringly: "Back to the master, this is called Keju, which is actually kicking the ball." The Han people liked to play this more than a thousand years ago, especially during the Northern Song Dynasty. One or two people can play, and dozens of people can play against each other..."
"Got it!" Huang Taiji interrupted Yang Chun angrily, and the Qing generals such as Dege were all so angry that their faces turned black. The Ming army actually played a game at the gate of the Qing army camp, which clearly humiliated the Qing army!
But this is not a real humiliation, and when Huang Taiji saw the "ball" clearly, he was even more angry!
It turned out that it was a leather ball, but a round human head, no need to ask, it was naturally the white-armored soldier who had just been killed! Only half an hour ago, this head was still growing peacefully on the neck, but now it was kicked around by the Ming army laughing, the nose and eyes were already sparsely kicked, and the mouth was also stuffed with dirt!
At this moment, all the Qing troops felt a chill to the bones and deeply realized what it meant to be "the present world". They like to use the tactic of "flying kites" against the Ming army, and now the Ming army also flies them as kites, but the weapons are replaced by firearms; They like to torture and kill the Han people, and now the Ming army also abuses and kills the Qing army!
Huang Taiji was so angry that he trembled, and just trembled two sentences: "Rush out for me and break them into ten thousand pieces!" "I sneezed, and my nosebleed suddenly shot out like a fountain!"
