Chapter 323: Field Battle

For the Guangling Army, the attack of Jiannu is a challenge and an opportunity. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

If you can seize the opportunity, the new pawn can transform into an old pawn, and the old pawn can also make a small fortune.

As we all know, Wang Teng, the general of the Ping Yuwei Guard, is generous, and as long as he makes military achievements, he will never be in arrears.

Stimulated by the rich rewards, the Guangling army had a high fighting spirit.

On the third day of June in the ninth year of Chongzhen, Wang Teng, who was recuperating his energy, suddenly heard a faint sound of gunfire from the north.

The north is the direction of Jiannu's attack.

Zhou Yuji, who went out to investigate, has not yet returned, and he doesn't know what the situation is.

Wang Teng was a little worried, and was about to send another team to explore the horses, when Zhou Yuji came back.

A team of twenty horsemen and horses were all wounded, and even the armor and horses were covered with coagulated blood.

"How's it going?"

"My lord, Shunxiang Fort can't last long, the construction of slaves is strong, and the border army is not an opponent at all"

Shunxiang Fort is a military fort north of Baoan Prefecture, there are 160 sergeants in the fort, according to common sense, as long as the generals are single-minded, it should be okay to hold it for three or five days.

However, at present, Shunxiang Fort is about to fall, which shows that Jiannu's offensive is extremely fierce.

As soon as Shunxiang Fort was lost, the Guangling Army would lose the initiative.

Wang Teng looked around, Huang Degong, Huang Hu and others didn't say a word, they were all waiting for his decision, "Everyone, are you afraid?" ”

Zhou Yuji grinned: "I'm afraid of a bird, I've been waiting for this day for a long time."

Huang Degong, Tong Yiyi and others also expressed similar views.

The military heart is available, Wang Teng is very pleased, "Okay, since that's the case, I don't have anything to say, let's open the army."

"My lord, what about the security state officials?"

"Let them wait on the side of the road, and don't get in the way"

"No!"

So far, the generals of the Guangling Army have already been above the top, except for Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong Army, few people can put it in their eyes.

The officers and soldiers of Baoan Prefecture can only be said to be second-rate troops, and naturally no one takes them seriously.

When the Guangling army lined up and was ready to start, the head of Shunxiang Fort had become the focus of contention between the two sides.

When the news of Huang Taiji's founding of the Qing Dynasty in Shengjing came, the Qing soldiers were greatly encouraged, and they mustered their strength to vow to present gifts to the Qing Dynasty!

Baoan Prefecture is the target of the Qing general's reservation, of course, if you can annihilate the Guangling Army and kill Wang Teng, it will be even better.

In the smoke of gunpowder, one after another Qing soldiers jumped onto the city and fought with the defenders in the fort.

In order to defend the fort, the Ming army in the fort has killed thirty-five people, and even the remaining hundred or so people are all wounded.

There were too many Jiannu, and the Ming army couldn't stop it at all with fewer strikes.

If this continues, it will not take half an hour, and the Qing army will have the possibility of seizing the fort and entering.

The surviving defenders were desperate, and they did not know if reinforcements would come.

It is said that Wang Teng's Guangling army is dozens of miles away, and as long as they appear in time, Jiannu will definitely divide his troops to resist.

It's just, will the Guangling Army come?

Qing Jiangzha and high-spirited, for him, everything is developing in a good direction.

Whether it is to encircle the point to send reinforcements, or to seize the military fort, this is all expected, and then, as long as Wang Teng comes to help, then the purpose of his trip will be achieved.

Suddenly, a team of Qing soldiers rushed over, "My lord, the Guangling army is moving here, and the minions can see clearly, the number is around six thousand!" ”

The expressions of the left and right generals became grim, they didn't expect Wang Teng to really come over.

Six thousand Ming troops, this is not a weak force.

Zha He was noncommittal, and smiled coldly: "What, are you afraid?" I'm waiting for the division to come, isn't it for the Guangling Army? Right now, Wang Tengzhong is scheming, and we should be happy."

Zha He's henchmen responded again and again, "My lord is right, it's just thousands of Ming troops, and they are by no means our opponents in the field."

Zha He was noncommittal, "Mingjin withdraw the troops, let the soldiers be ready for battle, don't forget, our goal is Wang Teng."

Niu Lu was really hesitant, "My lord, the Ming army can't resist it, as long as we work harder, the military fort will be ours."

Zha He frowned, "The Guangling Army is not an idle person, they are outnumbered, if our army wants to win, it must save its energy and be ready for battle."

Niu Lu really wanted to say more, but after seeing Zha He's expression, he realized that it was inevitable to withdraw his troops.

There were no opponents, and Zahe's military order was quickly implemented.

In just a moment, the dense tide of the Qing army receded.

The Ming army who survived the catastrophe was amazed, what happened?

Why did Jiannu give up the city at his fingertips and retreat?

Could it be that there is fraud in it?

Looking around, the Qing army retreated cleanly, not like a fraud!

The fort army looked at each other, "Why did Jiannu retreat?" ”

"Could it be that reinforcements are coming?"

Suddenly, a sergeant pointed to the south, "My lord, look, it's the banner of the Ming army, our reinforcements have arrived!" ”

On the horizon, numerous red flags have sprung up.

Under the banner, the black pressed sergeants came in formation.

The majestic and powerful footsteps seemed to be heard clearly in Shunxiang Fort.

The defenders in the fort laughed loudly: "Haha, sure enough, it's our reinforcements, it should be the Guangling Army that has arrived!" ”

"Jiannu is good at field warfare, is the Guangling Army their opponent?"

The laughter in the city stopped abruptly, and the Ming army looked worried.

The terrain outside Shunxiang Fort is flat, which is convenient for the army to arrange troops.

Although the Guangling army has been traveling for an hour, the morale of the army is still very high.

The harsh training has tempered a real elite, but it is just a matter of driving dozens of miles, and the generals don't pay attention to it at all.

When the two armies met only 500 paces, the Ming cavalry who took the lead suddenly turned over and dismounted, and such a strange move caused Jiannu to be greatly surprised.

What is Akito going to do?

The answer was soon revealed, the Ming army was quickly filled with gunpowder after dismounting, and they looked like a group of firecrackers!

When did the firecrackers also ride horses?

Zha He let out a rampant laugh, and in the eyes of the Qing army, the Ming people's behavior of abandoning their horses and fighting was undoubtedly extremely ridiculous.

The foot pawn is always inferior to the cavalry.

What if the opponent has several times more soldiers and horses than his own? They didn't even have the courage to fight on horseback, even if there were a few hundred more Han people, the warriors of the Great Qing Kingdom still dared to attack the enemy formation.

On the steppe, the Mongols were the only heroes who could keep pace with the Jurchens.

The Ming people are just two-legged sheep that walk upright, and they are slaughtered like lambs!

The distance of dozens of steps was instantaneous, and when the vanguard of the Qing army rushed forward, Hu Wei was extremely nervous.

After training for several months and actually going to the battlefield, Hu Wei found that facing the enemy cavalry was really a test of courage.

In previous training, Hu Wei's archery skills were excellent, and he was the best in the army, even the veterans in the army could not compare to him.

However, at the critical moment, Hu Wei found that his hands were shaking.

That's not going to work!

finally joined the Guangling Army, and finally had the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, if he let it go like this, Liu Daniu would definitely laugh at himself!

Thinking of this, Hu Wei bit the tip of his tongue fiercely.

The pain instantly irritated Hu Wei, and he aimed at his target before the officer could give the order.

"Sixty steps, put!"

Tong always gave the order, and Hu Wei finally fired.

"Bang bang bang", the smoke of gunpowder was filled, even if Jiannu dodged left and right, there were still many people who were shot and injured.

The wounded fell off their horses and died, which brought the momentum of the Qing army to a momentary standstill.

It was this sluggish kung fu, Hu Wei gritted his teeth, and he said, "Come again!" ”

Quickly reloading gunpowder, this is the biggest difference between the Guangling Fire Gunner and the other Ming troops.

The advent of fixed gunpowder meant that the gunners could fire one or even two more rounds of ammunition before they were in battle.

Don't underestimate this round of buckshot, on the battlefield, it means lethality that cannot be ignored.

"Bang bang bang", this time, the vanguard of the Qing army was prepared, and the results were not ideal.

Huang Hu, the commander in front of Hu Daniu, couldn't hold back, "Where is the short spearman?" ”

"In!"

"Throw a spear!"

"No!"

I saw Hu Da Niu quickly throw a short spear that lasted for a long time, the spear body was sharp and powerful, and it was extremely lethal in a short distance of thirty or fifty steps.

The more than 50 soldiers who stood together with Hu Daniu were all round arms, and they had already recuperated and were waiting for this full blow.

The military formation of the Guangling army is clearly layered, the outermost hundred people hold huge shields, like an iron wall, and the spear throwers and fire hammers behind them are arranged in order, if the Jiannu cavalry rushes to the front, the spear throwers will stab out with their guns.

These three combined attacks were the methods that Wang Teng came up with to deal with the nomadic cavalry.

Today, it is the first time to use it.

The Qing soldiers on horseback had hideous faces, and they cursed loudly.

I thought that if I rushed closer, the Ming people's muskets would be useless, and in that case, the Qing soldiers would be able to win easily, but who would have thought that at a distance of thirty or fifty paces away, the arrows would not work, and the Han people would throw short spears.

The short spear is made of iron throughout, full of weight, and once thrown, it is full of lethality.

Although the Qing soldiers were skilled in bows and horses, only a few of them dodged in the face of a sudden short spear attack.

In particular, the fastest knight had to face three or five short spears.

Even if Nurhachi is reborn, he is powerless in the face of this mortal killing move.

"Buzzing", dense short spears formed a daunting "death zone".

Of the two hundred pioneers of the Qing army, thirty or fifty horsemen died in a short distance of one hundred and ten paces.

If it weren't for the close proximity, the firecrackers would not be able to exert their power, and the casualties of the Qing army would have increased.

Now, after paying 20% of the casualties, the Qing army finally rushed to the front, and they rode like flying, trying to use the speed of horses to directly hit the Ming army's military formation.

"Bang bang bang", however, at the moment when the Khitan horse was about to hit the iron shield, a deadly spear appeared.

Iron spears are like a forest, adding a deadly and bloodthirsty taste to the solid copper walls.

There are firearms in the distance, short spears in the middle, spears and hard shields in the distance, and the three levels of defense means are from far to near, and the layers are distinct.

The Qing army has lived outside the fortress for so many years, and has experienced countless wars, large and small, but there has never been a time when they have been constrained everywhere like today.

The various arrangements made by the Ming generals seemed to be completely aimed at the cavalry, which made people feel a sense of despair.

No, you can't despair!

Zha He roared: "Kill, warriors of the Great Qing Kingdom, kill all these damned Han people." ”

Shunxiang Fort, the Ming army in the city never dreamed that the Guangling army would be so fierce.

Is this still an invincible Qing army?

How did you meet Guang Lingjun, like a mouse meeting a cat?

This is the first time I have seen the Qing army so embarrassed.

In the past, Zha He was also an unhindered character on the grassland, when did he suffer such a big loss?

Thinking of the people who died tragically under the butcher's knife of the Qing army, the people and horses of Shunxiang Fort had a feeling of revenge.

In any case, Wang Teng can be regarded as a bad breath for the Ming army.

The Ming general, who originally thought that Wang Teng was too strict, also had a different kind of mind at this time, if the soldiers and horses of the Ming army were as strong as this, even if they took refuge in them, it would not be a shameful thing.

The vanguard cavalry of the Qing army followed one after another, and they rushed to the front of the military formation.

The spear was soaked in blood, and the iron shield was stained with flesh.

Wang Teng frowned, he didn't expect that the Qing army would be so resilient, obviously there was a rain of guns and arrows here, but they still regarded death as home.

If the cavalry of the Qing army are so brave, the next battle will not be easy to fight.

After the morale of the Qing army was severely dampened by the means of three consecutive strikes, I thought they would retreat in the face of difficulties, but who knew that they were red-eyed and put on a posture of not being willing to give up if they did not achieve their goal.

After all, it was not a battle to defend the city, and facing the onslaught of the Qing army required not only great courage, but also tenacious tenacity.

The entire shield array, once one person can't support it, it will form a multi-valley mino effect.

Wang Teng had the intention to boost morale, but he also knew that in this case, both the enemy and the enemy had already killed each other.

No encouragement, any reward is useless, only after spelling out a life and death can one party completely wake up.

If this continues, sooner or later, the shield array will not be able to support it.

Half a pillar of incense passed, and under the impact of the vanguard of the Qing army, there was indeed a small omission in the battle formation of the Guangling army.

Due to the fierce and direct collision of the Qing army, the two sword and shield soldiers actually spurted out two mouthfuls of blood, obviously with a lot of injuries to the inner abdomen.

As for the spearmen behind the sword and shield soldiers here, they also died tragically under the fatal blow of the Qing army.

Although the reserve pikemen stepped forward at the right time and withstood the vacancy, the free time just now was enough for the Qing army to expand its victory.

Each of the war horses of the Qing army weighed about 500 catties, and counting the knights on horseback, this was about 700 catties in weight.

In the case of galloping, the weight of 700 catties will increase several times, and it is easy to break through the impact force of 1,000 catties.

A thousand catties, even if the Guangling soldiers are covered in iron, can they withstand a few rounds of impact?

The crumbling of the shield array is inevitable, and Wang Teng has already expected this.

It's just that I didn't expect the Qing army to rush in so quickly.

One of the knights flew like a horse, and his legs caught the belly of the horse, and he actually leaped down from the top of the shield array.

Several Guangling soldiers endured the shock and tried to encircle and kill him, but they didn't expect that this knight was superb in martial arts, and he still didn't fall behind with one enemy. (To be continued.) )
