Chapter 236: You can't fight back just by being beaten

At such a close distance, the situation on both sides can be seen clearly, under the large array of Qing soldiers, under the largest gold-woven dragon bowl, the owner of the inlaid white flag is more than yi, wearing gilt armor, and riding on a horse majestically. โ€

Abatai didn't respond to Dรณrd's words, F6, but just stared at the Wang Dou army on the other side, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Seeing that Abatai did not answer his words, he snorted dissatisfiedly, and under his command, the horn sounded, and a group of Qing troops came out.

In the ninth year of Chongzhen, when Abatai led the army with a white flag to attack Shunxiang Fort, he lost part of it. However, in the past few years, it has also been added. At this time, under the city of Dingzhou, among the 5,000 Qing soldiers with white flags, there were about 2,000 armored soldiers, and there were more than 400 Bayala soldiers. However, in yesterday's battle to defend the bridge, the Baya soldiers with antimony white flags lost nearly 100 people in vain, and now there are only more than 300 people left.

Under the order of Duoyi, a large group of Qing troops came out and lined up in a dense formation in front of the formation. At the front, there are about 2,000 archers, and in addition to the 500 infantry armor in the banner, there are also about 500 auxiliary soldiers in the banner.

These auxiliaries are also Ding Zhuang of each Niulu, they are wearing cotton armor, although they are not as good as those infantry soldiers with soldiers' knives, ladder knives, shields on their backs, and inlaid grain cotton armor, but they are also practicing bow and horses since childhood, and their combat ability has caught up with the ordinary battalion soldiers of the Ming army, and it is even stronger.

Behind the 2,000 archers, there were 1,000 Qing soldiers dressed in double heavy armor, most of whom were elite horse armor and infantry soldiers in the banner, all armed with eight-banner spears or tiger guns. After the archers shot through the Ming army of Wang Doubu, they formed a formation and charged.

Finally, there were five hundred heavy horsemen, each of whom was clothed in two layers of heavy armor, each armed with a spear, and also covered with thick iron-inlaid cotton armor, which followed behind the infantry. Finally, there were more than 200 Baya soldiers, heavy armor of one color and mercury, armed with long knives or spears with iron handles, and rode horses to follow behind.

Duoduo took nearly 4,000 people in one go, which shows his determination to break through the Ming army's military formation head-on. However, in addition to those infantry slowly destroying in the sound of golden drums, those cavalry still wandered in front of their own formation, on the one hand, they followed the infantry and moved, and on the other hand, they also prevented the cavalry on both wings of the Ming ** formation from attacking while their own Chinese army was empty.

The Qing soldiers were slowly approaching, and in the wilderness outside Dingzhou City, in this howling cold wind, Wang Dou watched them come quietly. "Light the Rope!" A piece of fire lit up. "Front row ready, ready to shoot!

The dense firecrackers flipped down, and the five hundred firecrackers in the front row of the Shunxiang Army were all aiming at the Qing soldiers who came in front of them.

The Qing array on the opposite side was still advancing densely, and their 2,000 archers were also divided into four rows, and the first was the 500 inlaid white flag infantry soldiers who were good at shooting. Behind the archers, a group of Qing army heavy armored pikemen, is a row of 100 or 200 people, lined up in dense layers of many layers, each holding a spear and halberd, fierce and vicious, just after the archers in front of them shot the mouth of the Ming army, they will form a formation to charge and kill.

Looking down from the air, the heads of the black pressure on both sides are getting closer and closer. One hundred and fifty paces, the Qing soldiers, who also formed a wide frontal formation, were still striding forward. It has been seen that the Ming army on the opposite side is all wearing iron armor, so with the power of their bows and arrows, they have to enter within fifty steps before they can have lethal damage to the enemy.

Soon nearly a hundred paces, the Ming army on the opposite side has not yet shot, so that these Qing soldiers are a little surprised, in the impression of these people, the quality of the Ming army's bird guns is not good, easy to explode, and it is often difficult to ignite in the cold wind in winter. In particular, their will to fight is low, and they open fire indiscriminately before they even enter the firing range.

Many people in the army have heard the story of the Ming King Doubu, and it can be seen that the Ming army is indeed different. Until now, I am still waiting patiently, and no one has moved. Their warriors are also determined, and they are indeed well-trained and have strict battle orders. And it is really rare to dare to confront them head-on without relying on the rejection of horses and chariots and other things. But so what, there is no Ming ** team that can block the strong bows and arrows of their Qing soldiers.

The white-flag-inlaid archers who didn't know whether they were alive or dead were still striding forward, and the five hundred Shunxiang musketeers in the front row were aiming at them with their guns, and at the same time, the corners of their eyes were paying attention to the fire ropes on their firecrackers not to be extinguished.

In the blink of an eye, those archers entered a hundred paces, and the arrogance on their faces and the thick white breath exhaled from the cold sky could be seen. After a hundred steps, these Qing soldiers who were only wearing cotton armor or wearing iron cotton armor were already under the blow of their own firearms. Wang Dou exhaled: "Massacre, let's start!" He shouted 1, and immediately a trumpeter in the position of the Chinese army next to him blew a loud swan!

The two thousand generals, each commander, and each team officer all pointed the long knife in their hands forward, and everyone shouted: "Shoot ()!" โ€

The deafening sound of firecrackers sounded, and the front row of firecrackers fired a salvo, and a long and dense area of gunpowder smoke was vacated on the front of the Shunxiang Army, which was hundreds of meters long.

The dense Qing soldiers in front of him, the cotton armor on his body burst out of the blood mist, and a large piece fell in an instant. After being shot, many people seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then they woke up and rolled to the ground screaming miserably.

Like a gust of wind blowing, there was a commotion among the Qing soldiers and archers on the opposite side, and many of the archers in the front row were stunned, and some turned around and ran.

The Qing archers in the two rows behind them opened seven planes to shoot sharp arrows desperately, but at such a distance, the arrows were only weak, and the firecrackers on the opposite side only had to bow their heads and use their eight-petal hats and iron pointed helmets to resist the flying arrows. Some of them had arrows in the chest, but they could not penetrate their iron cuirasses. Dozens of musketeers were shot in their arms and retreated with a muffled grunt.

After the firecrackers in the front row finished shooting, they immediately retreated to the third row and reloaded, and in the frightened eyes of the Qing soldiers on the opposite side, hundreds of firecrackers in the second row took a few steps forward. They raised their firearms and aimed them at the Qing soldiers on the opposite side.

"Put!" A large stream of gunpowder smoke erupted, and in front of him were a large number of fallen Qing archers.

The Qing soldiers were even more chaotic, they couldn't fight back just by being beaten, and watching the archers next to them fall one by one, this kind of psychological pressure was too great. Moreover, after a large number of archers in the front row fell, the rest were auxiliaries in the white flags, and their will to fight was not as firm as that of the armored soldiers.

After the Ming army fired two volleys of firearms, seeing that their archers were collapsing, the Qing army issued an order to retreat, and immediately these archers collectively exhaled and dispersed to both sides, revealing rows of heavily armored pikemen behind them.

The dense layers of spears and halberds turned up, shining with dazzling light in the cold winter, one; -- A wave of heavily armored pikemen of the Qing army, shouting and rushing with guns.
