Chapter 341: Take it when you see it

If it is a normal daytime battle, against the old and spicy Eight Banners, the Daishan Army's ambush cannot escape the eyes of the Eight Banners. www.biquge.info But it's late at night, and because of the eagerness to drive away the sneak attack of the enemy, coupled with the excessive conceit of his own combat power, Beizi Shangshan didn't think about it so much at all.

It was just a volley of muskets and the firing of twenty flying dragons, and thousands of lead pellets and 2,000 rockets enveloped this short area. The Eight Banners galloping on horseback fell in large numbers. Forget it if you are shot directly, the most terrible thing is that the war horse under you is shot to death, and when the war horse gallops, it will suddenly fall and smash the knight on the horse to the ground, and it will be dizzy and broken, and you will face the iron hooves of the cavalry behind.

Less than one-third of the Eight Banners can successfully break through the barrage and arrow rain. Beizi Shangshan is one of the lucky ones.

Cunning Akito! Such a despicable means are used, but so what, even if there are only a hundred cavalry left, they can kill you completely!

Shang Shan cursed angrily in his heart, let out a crazy roar from his mouth, and rushed towards the infantry array in front with the remaining three hundred and eight banner soldiers with a decisive momentum.

By the light of the torches that had fallen to the ground, the hand holding the bowstring was released, and three hundred feathered arrows flew towards the Ming army array in front. In his ears, he heard a constant muffled hum from ahead, and Shang Shan knew that it was the Ming army being shot by his own bow and arrow. As soon as the phalanx in front of them is shot through the gap and disrupts their formation, they will immediately rout, and all that remains is slaughter. Countless battles with the Ming army in the past were all results of this.

After Ren Siqi stood in the array, he frowned and looked at the Eight Banners soldiers who were coming. These Eight Banners are worthy of being the most powerful professional soldiers, and in such a dim light, their bows and arrows can still maintain a very high accuracy rate.

Even if the Daishan military array was protected by shields, nearly 100 people still died under the bow and arrow of the Eight Banners. Most of the soldiers of the Daishan Army who were shot were shot in the face and fell to the ground without saying a word. A few were shot by arrows that drilled through the cracks in the shields, and the arrows at close range were powerful enough to penetrate the protection of the mandarin duck jackets and cause serious injuries to the soldiers of the Daishan Army.

But that's the end of your attack! Ren Siqi thought viciously.

Sure enough, before the Eight Banners soldiers who rushed to the phalanx had time to be happy, they heard a crisp crunching sound continuously, and then one after another war horses neighed and fell forward, which made the Eight Banners soldiers on horseback panic.

It turned out that at the same time as the Divine Fire Crow attacked the Qing camp, Ren Siqi ordered his subordinates to dig hundreds of trap holes in front of the spear phalanx. The diameter of each small hole is the size of a palm, just enough to fit the hooves of a war horse, and the hole is only a foot deep, and it doesn't take much time to dig such a hole. The strength of the people is great, and thousands of horse traps have been dug at a distance of twenty paces, densely packed, and few war horses can dodge.

If it is daytime, such a hole can't escape the eyes of the battle-hardened war horse, but this is late at night, the light is very weak, and the horse hole is very dense, and many of them are insidiously covered with leaves, how can the war horse escape in this case?

"Slippery!" Shang Shan forcibly pulled the war horse, but still couldn't stop the war horse from stepping into the horse trap. There was a rattle, and Shang Shan felt his body pause, and involuntarily leaned forward with the war horse under him. Pressing the horse's back hard, his feet were pulled out of the stirrups, and Shang Shan jumped off the horse.

Looking around, there were very few cavalrymen still standing. In front of him, the black and oppressive figures surrounded him, and countless spears flashed with a terrifying cold light.

The next battle was very easy, facing the three hundred and eight banner soldiers who were dizzy after falling off their horses, two thousand pikemen surrounded them, and almost instantly drowned the eight banner soldiers.

Suddenly attacked, first by the musketeers and the flying dragon, and then by the horse hole to break the horse's leg and fall off the horse, even if these Eight Banners soldiers are strong, at this time only two percent of the combat power is left. In the face of the countless spears stabbed in the night, they had no power to recruit at all.

If they could form a battle formation during the day, the three hundred and eight banner soldiers would be enough to compete with thousands of Ming troops. But now, they can only accept the fate of failure. Failure means death, because the Daishan army has no intention of staying alive at all.

By the light of the moon, he stabbed the black shadow on the ground for a while, and then took out a short knife and groped to cut off the head. After hastily cleaning the battlefield, picking off the armor on the corpses of the Eight Banners, picking up bows and arrows, weapons, etc., Ren Siqi ordered an immediate retreat.

At this moment, it is almost four watches, and it will not be long before dawn, if you can't retreat before dawn, then what awaits the Daishan army is the ruthless pursuit of the Qing soldiers!

The Qing army camp is more than three miles away from the fork of the river where the boat came to get off the boat, and if the Qing soldiers continue to go out of the camp to chase and kill, this more than three miles of distance will be the most difficult journey for the Daishan army.

So after hastily cleaning up the battlefield, Ren Siqi immediately ordered a retreat.

......

At this moment, in the camp of the Qing army, the chaos continued, and Duoduo was trying his best to suppress the chaotic camp. The quality of the Eight Banners was relatively good, and they all quieted down under the reprimand of the officers. But the newly attached Green Battalion soldiers were completely different, the Green Battalion soldiers' camp was still noisy, the shouts and fighting were incessant, and Duoduo's face was as gloomy as water.

There were 100,000 soldiers in the battalion, but there were only about 20,000 of them in the Manchurian Eight Banners, more than 10,000 in the Mongolian Eight Banners, and more than 18,000 in the Han Eight Banners. In other words, the total number of Eight Banners under Duoduo's real command was nearly 50,000, and more than half of the battalion were Green Battalion soldiers adapted from the newly surrendered Nanming army. Among them, there are Henan General Soldier Xu Dingguo, Sizhou General Soldier Li Yuchun, and the former subordinates of Gao Jie of the four towns of Jiangbei, such as Xuzhou General Soldier Li Chengdong. Coupled with the other soldiers and horses who surrendered scatteredly, there were more than 50,000 green battalion soldiers in the big camp.

More than half of the army had riots, and even the most powerful commanders would have a headache. Fortunately, the camp of the Green Battalion soldiers was set up in the southwest of the main camp alone, and the riot did not spread to the Eight Banners at once.

In this case, if the subordinate Eight Banners soldiers are sent to directly suppress the ammunition, maybe the rebels will be killed with the Eight Banners, causing unpredictable losses. Therefore, in this case, the best way is to order the Eight Banners to guard the boundary between the two battalions, and anyone who dares to run to the Eight Banners camp will be killed immediately.

As long as they can hold out until dawn, the riots will naturally subside.

As for the Ming army that sneaked up, didn't they already send a thousand Eight Banner warriors to wipe it out, and now there are no rockets to launch into the camp, so they have fled now!

When a burst of musket fire came from outside the camp, Duoduo frowned, and then unfolded again, most of the weak Ming troops liked firearms, but didn't they know that the hit rate of firearms was very low in the dark night?

Duoduo didn't care about the Ming army attacking outside the camp at all, because according to his observation, judging from the density of rockets and divine fire crows attacked by the Ming army into the camp, there were only a small group of Ming troops outside the camp, and they could not pose a threat to the Qing army of 100,000 at all.

However, when a long time had passed, and it was about to dawn, before Shang Shan could send back the news of the victory, Duoduo realized that something was wrong! (To be continued.) )
