Chapter 330: Du Du's Attack
Listening to the war song from the opposite side, he felt the growing morale of the Ming army, although Du Du had not read any books, but he also knew that if the morale of the Ming army was allowed to grow like this, it would be difficult to fight today's battle.
Du Du immediately stood up without thinking, and clasped his fists at Yue Tuo and Dolgon: "General, Prince Rui, Hangou is so arrogant, we must not let it go on so arrogantly, we should send a group of warriors to frustrate their spirit." ”
Yue Tuo and Dolgon glanced at each other and nodded in unison, although this Du Du is rude, he still has a good military vision, and he knows that he can't let the other party be so arrogant.
Yue Tuo then nodded and said: "Since this is the case, then bother you to send a team of warriors to attack from the east, and you must teach them a lesson fiercely, knowing how powerful my warriors of the Great Qing Kingdom are!" ”
After hearing this, Du Du said with some dissatisfaction: "General, isn't it better to attack from the north, where the territory is long and narrow, it is easier to open the gap." ”
"No!" Yue Tuo shook his head and said: "Although the terrain in the north is the most gentle, the defense is also the tightest, if I expect it to be correct, there must be Pang Gang's troops guarding it, let's not fight with him for the time being." ”
"Scum!"
The military order is like a mountain, and the temper is as short as Du Du, and after hearing it, he can only helplessly give up his orders and leave.
Du Du received the military order and led more than 8,000 Zhenghongqi men and horses to the east, looking at the Ming army that was already in front of him, he called a Jia Lazhangjing, and shouted: "Mahaga, you have a thousand soldiers and horses in your headquarters, now I will add another thousand soldiers and horses to you, you go and tear apart the Ming army defense line in front of me, can you do it?" ”
Mahaga is a Jiala Zhangjing of the Mongolian Eight Banners, and the number of Mongolian Eight Banners is less than that of the Manchu Eight Banners, with an average of only about 1,000 people per Jiala, and the strength is relatively weak.
Mahaga looked at the dense iron thorns, horse-repellent horses, low walls, bows and crossbows and other sharp weapons in front of him, and swallowed his saliva before replying: "Lord Belle, there are too few minions of minions, do you want to add more men to the minions?" ”
Du Du was annoyed and shouted angrily: "You dog slave, can't you break through the defense line of the Han dog with your two thousand people?" Could it be that you are going to let Benbel go into battle on his own? You are so cowardly and fearful of battle, you have lost the face of our warriors of the Great Qing Kingdom, you immediately led people to charge, led the army to charge, and washed away your shame with blood! ”
Mahaga's face was blue and white for a while, he naturally couldn't refuse, otherwise he would be cut off his head on the spot, especially Meng Baqi like him, to put it bluntly, he would be cannon fodder, and now he could only pray that the Ming army in front of him was not the Qingzhou army, and there were no powerful firearms.
Looking at the disdainful gazes around him, Mahaga had to face his head no matter how reluctant he was.
With the sound of trumpets in the camp of the Qing army, Mahaga slowly came to the front with 2,000 Mongolian soldiers. Although these Mengbaqi are not Qing Baqi, their armor and weapons are also readily available.
There was also a team of men and horses behind them, but the appearance of this team of men and horses was very different from that of Meng Baqi, I saw that they were all wearing cotton armor with iron leaves inlaid inside, thick copper nails nailed to the cotton armor, high red tasseled black helmets on their heads, and all kinds of weapons were readily available. Those horse armor soldiers were wearing two layers of heavy armor, holding spears and halberds, and all kinds of heavy short weapons were also prepared, and there were all kinds of strong bows and arrows. This group of men and horses is an Aliha Chaoha battalion directly under Dudu.
The Alha Chaoha battalion was later the Manchu cavalry battalion, the leader was the commander of each banner, and the soldiers were composed of Aliha Chaoha soldiers (that is, the horse armor in the armored people, later changed to Xiao cavalry). In the Manchurian, Mongolian and Han Eight Banners, there is the Aliha Chaoha Battalion, which is the main force of the Manchurian, Mongolian and Han Eight Banners.
There were more than 1,000 soldiers in the Areha Chaoha Battalion, and their mission was to rush forward to deliver the final blow to the enemy when needed, and of course, they also served as overseers.
The Aliha Chaoha battalion is also the most elite unit under Du Du at this moment, and as for the more elite Bayala battalion, there are not many of them even Dolgon and Yueto.
These vests of the Aliha Chaoha battalion all had a proud look on their faces, they were all veterans of war, so they naturally wouldn't put the ordinary Ming army in front of them in their eyes, at a glance, they all had arrogant expressions, and there was a thick evil aura in each other's eyes.
In their opinion, this is a battle that has long been doomed, and they have no chance to play at all, as long as they do the easy part-time job of supervising the team.
Next to the Alha Chaoha battalion, there were more than 2,000 auxiliary soldiers of various kinds with various weapons to follow aside, ready to rush forward while the Mongols were charging, take the opportunity to tear through the opponent's defense, and then break through the enemy camp in one fell swoop.
It can be seen that although Du Du is short-tempered, he still fights in a disciplined manner.
In the sound of the horn, the Qing soldiers slowly rode forward, and the two thousand cavalry slowly approached the east of the Ming army camp. ”
Thinking of this, Pang Gang hurriedly instructed the heralds beside him: "You immediately go to the artillery camp and tell General Dong that he is ready to provide artillery support to General Yang, and if necessary, you can also mobilize the artillery on our defense line to go over." ”
"Yes!" The herald took the order and departed.
At this time, on the defense line of the Xuan army, Yang Guozhu and the generals looked at the surging Qing army in front of them, and their faces showed a solemn expression, and from time to time there was a heavy breathing sound, which was a sign that he knew that everyone was nervous.
At this moment, Yang Guozhu's heart is not afraid, but he is very angry, since the Qing soldiers have been attacking his defense line, but Hu Dawei and Pang Gang have not moved at all, is he Yang Guozhu just a soft persimmon, just take it with a tartar?
Just when Yang Guozhu was angry, the Mongol soldiers led by Mahaga also began to charge, the sound of hooves was like thunder, and the two thousand cavalry rushed like a flood of the embankment, as if there was only a thunder sound left between heaven and earth.
"Artillery ready!"
Although Yang Guozhu's battalion was not equipped with today's artillery like Pang Gang, it also had eight Franc medium guns and seven Tiger squat guns.
At this moment, several gunners were squatting next to these artillery, ready to be ordered to fire artillery, although the Qing soldiers were still far away from them, they could already feel the rumbling sound of horses' hooves approaching them step by step. Hiding behind the low-walled bunker, they couldn't help but turn a little pale at the moment, and they only hated that the deep ditch they dug yesterday was too shallow and narrow, and they wished they could dig a few more.
The gunner, who was in charge of observing on the low wall, kept reporting the distance of the Qing army, "five hundred paces, four hundred and fifty steps, three hundred and fifty steps......
Finally, the commander on the gun emplacements ordered: "Fire!" ”
"Boom, boom, boom......"
In a dull sound peculiar to the Franc machine, the Mongolian cavalry who were burying their heads in the charge only saw a dazzling red light flashing behind the Ming defense line in front, and then a large puff of white smoke rose into the air, and then they saw a fiery iron ball spinning and flying towards them.
The iron bullet of the medium-sized Franc machine gun is as thick as the mouth of a bowl for eating, and under the impetus of the kinetic energy of gunpowder, whether it hits a horse or a person, it will smash the object into a big hole, and even break the human body into two parts, and there are almost no one in 100 who can survive after being shot. The most frightening thing is that when the projectile does not hit the human body, but hits the hard ground, and then the projectile will beat irregularly on the ground, this irregular killing is really unguardable.
Eight Franc cannons were a little short for 2,000 charging cavalry, but the dense stormtrooping formation of the Mongols was the best target. Even if they pulled it open again, several projectiles hit the target.
A charging Mongolian soldier leaned down, but was still hit in the head by a projectile, the Mongolian soldier's companion only heard a crisp sound, like the sound of a watermelon cracking, although his body was still charging with the war horse, the head of the cavalry suddenly disappeared.
A large stream of blood sprayed into the sky like a fountain, turning dozens of companions around him into bloody people, and a projectile hit the chest of a person who was shouting slogans and ordering his companions to attack, although this person was wearing three layers of heavy armor, but in front of the projectile that came quickly, it was still as fragile as a piece of tissue paper, only a muffled sound of "pop" was heard, and the original burly body of this branch was suddenly missing.
In the blink of an eye, the original upper body had disappeared, and only the lower body was still hanging on the horse's back relying on its habitual surname, and after a while, it fell down and fell into the dust rising around it, and then it was trampled into meat sauce by the surging horses' hooves.
As long as the cavalry falls off the horse, they will be hit by the companions who follow closely behind, and the companions of the companions will not stop in order to save the lives of the companions in front of them, if that is the case, they will also be killed by the companions who are further behind. In order to survive, the people behind will not hesitate to ride forward and trample the companions in front into pulp.
With the continuous firing of artillery, dozens of Mongolian soldiers have been knocked off their horses, and I don't know how many people have been grazed by projectiles.
There are also quick eyes, a vest saw a black projectile flying towards him, he reacted quickly to the side of his head in time, the projectile seemed to fly past his nose, as if nothing happened, but then he felt a sharp pain into his brain nerves, it turned out that the left half of his face had been shattered by the projectile, and even his teeth were completely gone, and then his terrible screams shook all around......
