Chapter 325: You Don't Have a Temper When You Beat You
Two hundred guns fired in turn, always maintaining an extremely dense fire coverage. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The scorching projectile was extremely lethal, and even if the Qing army was prepared, it still could not reduce the number of casualties.
"Bang bang bang", more than a dozen Qing soldiers fell from their horses and died in just a few dozen steps, and the Qing army's formation was always difficult to maintain a tight order.
Zaha was furious, but he couldn't think of an effective way, so he could only take the lead and try his best to rush to the front.
The Qing army was not invincible!
Wang Teng's heartstrings, which had been tense, were instantly relaxed, the number of soldiers and horses under the command of Zha He was too small, after the vanguard was blocked, the cavalry army led by Zha He was only seven hundred, and it was difficult to break through the formation of the Guangling Army even if the whole army pressed so many men and horses.
The formation of shieldmen, pikemen, and musketeers was by no means idle, and they cooperated with each other tacitly, enough to take on the duty of holding their positions.
The Qing army was getting closer and closer, and the pikemen and sword and shield soldiers in the formation were ready to meet the battle.
Thirty steps, twenty steps, ten steps!
The firecrackers completely retracted into the formation, and the sword and shield soldiers erected heavy iron shields to protect the formation tightly.
Zaha was the fastest, the first to throw the iron bones in his hand, followed by Zaha's guards, who also threw javelins, throwing axes, and even throwing crossblades with ropes, sharp crossblades that could destroy armor or shields when spinning at high speeds.
More than 30 Qing soldiers threw a large number of flying knives and axes, and the sword and shield soldiers in the front row suffered heavy losses.
Zaha did not take a hard-hitting trick, but left with a touch, and he wanted to use the unique tricks of the Qing army to nibble away at the Guangling army.
Hundreds of years ago, the Mongols relied on cavalry and archery to dominate the world, and now the Qing army is better than the blue, they are proficient in riding and close combat, hundreds of cavalry soldiers ride on high-headed horses, condescending, with a wide field of vision, and can throw a big killing weapon well.
Although the Guangling Army is equipped with iron armor, the Qing army's flying axes and hidden weapons are all greeted in the face, as long as they hit the target, nine times out of ten they will achieve results.
The screams continued to sound, and the pikemen and sword and shield soldiers could not make an effective counterattack, so they could only be beaten passively, and the soldiers were aggrieved.
At the critical moment, Wang Teng urgently transferred Huang Degong's 100 spearmen.
The spearmen on the back of the line of fire reinforcements launched a confrontation with the Qing army!
The first few waves of Qing cavalry forced the firecrackers into the formation as if they were in a no-man's land, and the iron bones were very happy, but the Qing army in the later waves was not so lucky.
The appearance of the spearmen meant that the Ming army had the weapons to counterattack.
"Puff puff", compared with the hidden weapons of the Qing army, the number of iron spears is even more dense.
Almost all of the 50 Qing soldiers who charged in this wave were wounded, and nearly 100 short spears broke through the air, which was infinitely powerful, and many Qing soldiers died on the spot without even having time to throw their axes.
"My lord, Mingren's short spear is too sharp, and our armor can't resist it at all."
After hearing the bad news for the first time, Zaha, who had just improved his mood, had the idea of killing again.
This group of Ming troops is too hateful, why can't they let the elite soldiers of the Great Qing Kingdom kill them cleanly?
Zaha was in a dilemma, and Abatai's original intention was to let him entangle the Guangling army and prevent it from reinforcing Baoding, but Zaha, who was happy to hunt his heart, violated the military order and started a war.
If he wins, no one will get along with the winner, but if Zaha loses, then the most severe punishment awaits him, and maybe he may be dismissed!
Zaha finally became the commander of a thousand people, and naturally he didn't want to fall into the clouds!
Since there is no choice, then fight to the end, there are only Qing warriors who died in battle, and there are no fleeing Qing soldiers.
Thinking of this, Zaha roared loudly: "Warriors of the Great Qing Kingdom, our emperor is waiting for our good news in Shengjing, Azigebel has won thirty consecutive victories, and the Governor of Xuanda forced by Abataibel is too busy to take care of himself, and the army in the south has achieved impressive results, only we have gained nothing, are you willing to become a disgrace to the Great Qing Kingdom?" ”
The angry Qing army responded loudly, "Unwilling! ”
"Okay, since you are unwilling, then let me kill it, and use the knives and arrows in your hands to show these cowardly Ming people that our Great Qing Kingdom is the co-master of the world!"
"Kill, kill, kill!"
Under Zaha's command, the Qing army launched another attack.
"Buzz", sharp cold arrows shot out far away, and the back spearmen standing in the formation were hit one after another.
The Qing army hated the spear-bearer's big killing weapon, and put up the arrow to gnash its teeth.
The range of the riding bow is more than that of the short spear, and if you want to suppress the rampant Qing archers, only the fire gunners will come out.
The Qing army rushed in, and it was extremely dangerous for the musketeers to shoot at this time.
However, if they didn't shoot, the Ming people could only be shot by the Qing army's archers in turn.
"Firecracker, get out of line!"
In anger, Tong always didn't care about anything else, and ordered the firecrackers to go out and kill the enemy.
The musketeers of the Ming army actually left the military formation, is this to send them to death? Zaha was overjoyed.
As long as most of the Ming people's firecrackers were killed, the Qing army's archers could become a decisive force.
"Kill Minggou!"
The sound of hooves was like thunder, and the dust and smoke rose into the sky, and the rushing cavalry exerted their speed to the extreme.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the cavalry was within range of the firecrackers.
Needless to say, at the terrible sound of the horn, the gunners fired.
There are constantly Qing troops falling off their horses, and those who are lucky enough not to be injured are struggling to whip the war horses, hurry up, hurry up.
Tong has always scolded, as if he didn't expect the Qing army to be so difficult.
Zaha smiled hideously, "Archer, release the arrows!" ”
Every soldier of the Qing army had a skillful archery skill, and within a hundred paces, their arrows were extremely accurate, and soon brought twelve casualties to the musketeers of the left post of the Guangling army.
The arrows of the Qing army were all smeared with horse manure, and once the arrows were hit, the wounds were easily infected.
The firecrackers in the front row had just finished firing the firecrackers in their hands, and before they could fill them, three cold arrows broke through the air.
"Puff puff", the accurate and ruthless arrow hit the neck, chest and abdomen of the firecracker.
There was a heart shield on his chest, and the arrow could not penetrate the flesh, but the arrow wound in the neck was fatal.
The arrows close to the arteries did not dare to be pulled out easily, and once they were pulled out, it was very likely that blood would be splattered for five steps, but if the arrows were not removed, the toxins smeared on the arrows would quickly expand to the whole body!
It's really a dilemma.
The fire gunner's unauthorized attack was completely reckless, and Wang Teng was furious: "Fire gunner, return to the formation, sword and shield soldiers, cover!" ”
Tong always gave the order in a hurry, not daring to hesitate at all.
Their casualties were equally heavy compared to the gains made by the Musketeers.
Every firecracker is Wang Teng's treasure, and he doesn't want to be easily damaged here.
Since Jiannu wants to play mounted archery, let's play with them!
Wang Teng believes that a true spear-bearer can complete the task well.
"Tiger Tiger Tiger!"
The shield soldiers stepped forward at the right time to provide cover for the firecrackers, and Tong was always extremely ashamed, and his reckless actions caused at least thirty-five deaths.
Fortunately, the shield guards were well protected, and they protected the formation tightly.
The Qing army tried to take advantage of the victory, but they soon found that all the arrows were blocked by the shields of the Guangling army.
Occasionally, a tricky arrow hit the soldier, and the other party forced patience.
At this time, the returning musketeers crouched in the formation, and they poked out the barrels of their guns and fired from the muzzles of the shield array.
"Bang bang bang", the thunderous explosion sounded in the ears, the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke was extremely uncomfortable, the sword and shield soldiers forcibly endured, they secretly comforted themselves, the fire gun will not explode, will not explode......
The firecracker's firearm is on the shoulders of the shield soldiers, and once it explodes, the consequences are unimaginable.
Fortunately, the craftsmen in the Guangling Army strive for perfection, and the guns they have been tempered by thousands of times rarely explode, which makes people more or less relieved.
In this battle, with the help of the siege of the spearmen, the Guangling army had the upper hand, and they themselves lost eight people and achieved the result of sixteen people on their bodies.
Zaha realized that the invincible tactics of the past were not suitable for the Guangling Army, and if he wanted to win, he would have to fight hand-to-hand combat.
Thinking of this, Zaha attacked again.
Under the high level of tension, the pain is completely suppressed by adrenal hormones.
The Qing soldiers had only one thought, to kill the past! Kill it!
In the blink of an eye, the war horses of the Qing army rushed to the front of the battle array.
This time, the Qing army showed no signs of a sharp turn, and they rushed forward.
"It's repeated", the neighing of the horses and the scolding of the Qing army are endless.
A tall horse weighing hundreds of pounds plus the knight's armor and weapons is close to eight or nine hundred pounds of strength.
Even though the shield soldiers were all tall and sturdy men, and there were three or five companions supporting the iron shields, as soon as they came into contact, many shield soldiers were still injured in the abdomen, and a fishy smell gushed into their throats, and blood was about to gush out.
There is even a strong Qing army vest that slammed into the shield array, and was about to rush in and slash and kill.
The situation was critical, and Wang Teng ordered loudly: "The firecrackers retreat, and the sword and shield soldiers step forward!" ”
The Musketeers have completed their mission, so it's time for the melee class.
Huang Hu had a cold face, and pulled out a big knife with a flickering cold light with one hand: "Sons, kill the Tartars!" ”
"Kill the Tartars!"
Before the words fell, Huang Hu had already rushed out.
The guards and flag bearers beside Huang Hu followed closely behind and fought out of the round formation.
Behind the Yellow Tiger, there were pikemen, and after the shield array was separated, some of the pikemen were liberated, and they rushed out of both wings as soon as they heard the Yellow Tiger's shout.
The first thing Huang Hu faced was the Qing army vest wearing double armor and holding a big sword!
The vest soldiers are more elite than the white armor soldiers, in order to complete their work in one battle, Zaha completely let go, he sent all six vests in his hand, just to tear apart the Ming army.
"Kill!"
It was completely unexpected for the Ming people to come out to meet the battle, but the Qing army that met was not half soft, and he didn't care if he couldn't come out, so he killed them all.
"Sonorous and sonorous", between the lightning and flint, the soldiers on both sides have been killed.
"Thorn!"
"Close!"
"Thorn!"
Without the restraint of the shieldmen, the pikemen's tricks can be used.
The Qing soldiers were strong in martial arts and skilled in warfare, and they often fought with one enemy and two enemies, or even three enemies.
At the beginning, with sufficient strength, the Qing soldiers were often at ease, but after a long time, they were surprised to find that the Ming army on the opposite side was still attacking fiercely.
The Guangling army was six times larger than the Qing army, and if Wang Teng didn't know how to play the numerical advantage, then he would be a fool.
"Zhou Yuji, quickly lead the cavalry to go around the two wings and kill the rear army of Jiannu"
Zhou Yuji, who was already gearing up, was very excited, "No! ”
Since the start of the war, the Guangling cavalry has been recuperating, watching the foot soldiers kill one enemy after another, they are red-eyed, and now, it is finally their turn, and everyone has a feeling of impatience.
In hand-to-hand combat, the arrogant Qing army was surprised to find that the Ming army on the opposite side was not left behind.
Zaha was annoyed, no wonder Abatai and Hauge were disgraced and returned in vain, it turned out that the Guangling Army was really extraordinary.
At this time, it is too late to retreat, so I can only grit my teeth and persevere, and see who lasts longer!
If the two sides were evenly matched, Zaha's idea was not wrong, but he forgot that the Ming army was far superior in number to him, and the Guangling army did not exert its full strength at all.
By the time Zaha suddenly came to his senses, it was too late.
The cavalry army led by Zhou Yuji is coming!
"My lord, there are enemies in the back!"
"Kill them!"
Zaha saw clearly that the number of Ming cavalry who came to attack was not large, and as long as the rear was supported, the front army still had a chance.
Of course, if the back formation collapses at the first touch, there is no point in holding on.
"Puff puff", Zhou Yuji's cavalry collided with the rear of the Qing army.
People turned over on their backs, flesh and blood splashed, just a contact, the Qing army found that the combat effectiveness of the Ming cavalry was extraordinary.
After Zhou Yuji slashed a Qing soldier to death, Dasheng cheered: "Tiger Tiger Tiger!" ”
"Tiger Tiger Tiger!"
The Guangling cavalry responded one after another.
After a long run-in training, the Chahar cavalry and the Han cavalry have long been indistinguishable from each other, and they can echo each other on the battlefield, tacitly kill people and capture the flag.
Zaha's eyelids jumped violently, and after he killed a Ming soldier, he looked back eagerly, only to see that the rushing Ming army had gradually gained the upper hand.
What's going on?
Fight immediately, the Great Qing Kingdom should be unparalleled in the world, when did the Ming people have such a sharp cavalry?
Zaha only felt that the sky was spinning, and if the Ming cavalry was so sharp, it would not be long before the rear army arrived.
Looking at the front army again, the elite of the Qing State has completely fallen into the crowd tactics of the Guangling Army, and at this time, even if he retreats from the army, it has become an unattainable thing.
How good is that?
Zaha was also a strong-willed person, but he had never encountered such a situation, and he felt overwhelmed for a moment.
"My lord, the war is unfavorable, it is better to retreat quickly"
"Huh? What did you say? ”
"The Ming people have already formed a situation of encirclement, and it will be too late if they don't leave"
Zaharan snapped his jaws, "Yes, yes, yes, retreat, retreat!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Zaha realized what he was talking about, but at this time, what choice could he make but to withdraw from the army?
Fight to the last man?
No, at the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, there must be no news of the annihilation of the entire army, otherwise, it will be a great blow to the morale of the army.
