Volume 1 Beacon Creep Chapter 507 Queue Up to Shoot (II)
A heavy cannonball let out a terrible scream, flying far above the Yuan Rong car. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info,!
Wang Dou's expression did not move, and the soldiers of the surrounding guard battalion looked around vigilantly, at this time, Wang Dou Shuai's Chinese army cart was about two hundred steps away from the front array, and it was nearly three miles away from the opposite clear formation. After all, in this terrain, it is really difficult for the huge and heavy Yuanrong car to pass.
Although he did not collect the soldiers of the guard battalion at night, he constantly looked for a place for passage, so that the cart zigzagged forward, but it was still slow, and the commanders and generals tried their best to dissuade Wang Dou's idea of getting off the car and riding his horse.
Wang Dou's cart is the key bombardment target of Wuzhenha's super gunners, no more than a relatively large military formation, so far away to hit the Yuan Rong car, the probability is not smaller, but the danger always exists, living in the car, it is also safer than riding a horse outside.
Wen Daxing's sentry battalion had found a gently sloping hill about two miles away from the position of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty in front, and persuaded Wang Dou to set up the headquarters of the Chinese army there, which could not only command nearby, but also reflect the original intention of advancing and retreating together with the soldiers and fighting on the battlefield.
In this way, Wang Dou does not need to be forced to the front with the army formation, reducing the danger of the war, for everyone in the Jingbian army, the safety of the general is more important than everything, if Wang Dou has an accident, it is a victory in this battle, and there is no meaning.
Wang Dou has received a report from the sentinel cavalry, and the Qing army in Baimiaobao has been dispatched, and it seems that it is about to attack Xingshan and other places, and the Ming army in the center and right wing of this array has also begun to engage the Qing army.
Everything was expected, but the army advanced under artillery fire, and the casualties of the soldiers in front made him frown slightly.
One by one, the doctors and soldiers who were constantly carrying down the casualties were not killed, and the injuries were also miserable, and the severed hands and feet were just ordinary.
According to preliminary statistics, there are many officers who were wounded or killed. Among them, Huang Yujin, the commander of the Han Dynasty camp, was torn apart on the spot, and he couldn't even put together a complete corpse.
Huang Yujin, like Lei Xianbin, was an old man in Jingbian Fort back then, and he couldn't imagine dying here.
There was another whistling, and a heavy cannonball hit. Passing by a drum cart. After a bang on the ground, he jumped away with a faint light smoke, and was only ten steps away from Yuanrong's car.
Zhong Tiaoyang looked at it worriedly, and said to Wang Dou solemnly: "General, the thief slave artillery is sharp, and the only way to reduce the casualties of the sergeants is to pass quickly and quickly force in front of the Tartar formation!" ”
Zanhua Qin Yi said worriedly: "If the army accelerates its march again, the array cannot be maintained. The thieves and slaves were dispersed by the crowd, and the consequences were unpredictable, and the students did not agree. ”
Wang Dou's expression did not move, Qin Yi said well, in the era of cold weapons, the requirements for the array are harsh. With the strength of the Jingbian Army, even if the scattered queue is against the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, there may not be any certainty of victory.
Moreover, if the army runs and marches, and then forces it in front of the opponent's formation after running for a few miles, it is a serious problem whether it has the physical strength to fight.
He looked sharply ahead, the Han Eight Banner artillery. It still kept ringing, because of the terrain and array, their hit rate was greatly reduced, but after all, it was a hundred heavy guns. It still continues to bring casualties to the Jingbian army, and besides, there are dozens of Hongyi small cannons in front of them, which can be bombarded at that time.
Although the Qing artillery did not have silk medicine packs, under normal circumstances, each artillery fired three shells, it had to stop to dissipate heat for a quarter of an hour, and each cannon fired more than 20 rounds, and it took one or two hours to dissipate heat, but they used rotational fire, and the heat dissipation situation was slightly better, and it was possible to stop and dissipate heat after firing five shells each time.
The sentry cavalry has already detected that the Wuzhenha super artillery array, densely covered with sacks and earthen baskets and other defensive weapons, is Zhao Xuan's artillery battalion pushed forward, and there is no certainty that their artillery will be defeated, the key is that the infantry formation is forced to the distance in front of their formation, as long as the two sides are close, all their heavy artillery will be useless, provided that the military formation must be kept tight......
Wang Dou gave an order suddenly: "Order the soldiers, march in a hurry, within a quarter of an hour, the army needs to be forced to the front of the thief and slave position with a strict array!" ”
Within 15 minutes, the army had to pass through more than two miles of ground, and this kind of terrain still had to keep the army in order, which was a test of the Jingbian army's training on weekdays and the time to play on the spot.
Immediately the clock was adjusted to pass down Wang Dou's order.
After a sharp swan sound, the Chinese military drum beat tightly, and Han Kaihui, who had just been promoted to captain, roared in unison with all the brothers: "Tiger! ”
They began to trot, and the roars of the officers kept coming: "March! ”
"Keep in line!"
The entire Jingbian army began to run, and the dense hats and helmets kept shaking.
On the side of the Xuanzhen New Army, there was also an angry roar from the officers: "Speed up." ”
"Walk in!"
Although the Wuzhenha Super Artillery Battalion of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, most of the artillery was aimed at the side of the Jingbian Army, and the gunmen and spearmen on the side of the Xuanzhen New Army suffered a lot of blows, and the blood of their comrades-in-arms made them panic and anger at the same time.
**Exposed to the enemy's artillery, many Xuanzhen's new army soldiers, are a little hesitant and afraid, during the battle of Loess Ridge, they covered with chariots, although the chariots were hit by artillery, the casualties may be greater, but the comfort in the heart is incomparable.
It was the first time for them to fight like this, and the cruelty of war, especially the cruelty of war in the age of firearms, was displayed naked in front of their eyes.
They were frightened and uncomfortable, but they were all simple and good children, and under Yang Guozhu's careful training, they also had the consciousness of obeying military orders, especially looking at the Jingbian Army on the left flank, they were the places where they suffered the most artillery hits, and they still marched resolutely, so what reason did they have to retreat?
It is impossible to retreat, only by moving forward and defeating the enemy can there be a way to live, and they let out a neat roar and quicken their pace.
"Kill all the two Tartars!"
"Onward!"
In the position of the new army in Xuanzhen, a roar erupted.
……
The smiles on the faces of Kong Youde and others slowly lost, under the bombardment of hundreds of heavy artillery, the Jingbian Army and the Xuanzhen New Army were still approaching in formation, especially as the distance got closer, many Hongyi heavy artillery, and the group could also be used, which added to the lethality, and some Hongyi small artillery also began to fire, but they were still firmly pressing!
They are not beaten by iron, why are they not afraid of death? Kong Youde couldn't understand, his face was pale, he looked ahead, and from time to time there were still Jingbian troops and Xuanzhen queues that were hit by artillery, but they continued to advance in the face of artillery fire.
They carried flags, beat drums, played flutes, played baskets, and sang songs. As the drumbeat increased, they began to run, and from a distance, the queue remained the same.
What kind of army is this?
The expressions of Shi Tingzhu and the others also turned to panic, and an incomparable chill surged into Shi Tingzhu's heart, and he muttered, "Why is this so? ”
He roared loudly: "Why is this! ”
Wang Dou stood on Yuan Rong's car. He pressed his sword in his hand. Silently watched his army advance.
This is a real contest of wills, on the vast battlefield, tens of thousands of brave soldiers, lined up in a neat formation, taking firm and calm steps, braving dense artillery fire, forward, and then forward!
They are not until they are in range, knocking out the enemy. Or be knocked down by the enemy and continue until one side collapses.
The magnificent era has arrived, this is an era of real victory with the will of soldiers, a great era of real soldiers, anyone who is not adaptable. will be mercilessly eliminated by history!
Kong Youdetie blushed, watching the Jingbian army array get closer and closer, especially some of their artillery, which was already less than two miles away from the army formation, but they continued to get closer, maybe within a mile, or even a shorter distance. Bombarding their own artillery arrays, and even the infantry formations of the Han Eight Banners.
The artillery column is not afraid of himself, and his artillery battalion is densely covered with all kinds of sacks and earthen baskets. Definitely can withstand their shells, just step formations......
There was a Qing official who suggested that the Han Eight Banners army should be defended by earthen carts, but Kong Youde thought it was not feasible.
Those earthen carts may be able to block some of the live ammunition of the Jingbian Army, but if their artillery pushes closer, can they block their shotguns? Just guarding and being beaten, sooner or later it will be the end of collapse.
Based on his experience in the Battle of Pinggu, he still needs to get close to the front, and the two sides will face each other with guns, so that their artillery will lose its effectiveness.
So at this time, the Han Eight Banners and the Korean soldiers, the guns were in front, and the sword and shield spearmen were in the back, along the slopes, hills, fields, etc., and laid a dense queue.
Especially when the Jingbian Army suffered artillery strikes, the queue was evacuated, and morale was low, they were forced to move forward and flattened it with one blow!
However, at this time, the Jingbian Army and others were still in strict formation, and their morale was high, especially since some of their artillery had already been pulled up, and their own army formation was dense.
Thinking about the consequences of failure, he is a prince, and he can't bear it.
It seems that the army needs to move forward, and Kong Youde made up his mind.
At this time, the military formation arrangement of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty was based on Shi Tingzhu with the white flag, Liu Zhiyuan with the red flag, Zu Zerun with the blue flag, Wu Shoujin with the white flag, and the Korean army as the front army, with about 25,000 people, including 15,000 soldiers.
There are also Ma Guangyuan's inlaid yellow flags, Geng Zhongming's positive yellow flags, Shang Kexi's inlaid blue flags, and Kong Youde's positive red flags, which are rear troops, with about 10,000 people.
Although there are 164 cattle records in the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, they are not as good as the three hundred banners and only 200 in the Manmeng One Niulu, and there are more than 20 cattle in the big banner, and only a dozen in the small banner, so their whole army is only more than 30,000 people, and the soldiers account for the majority.
Coupled with the Korean army, a total of about 40,000 troops, but after the Battle of Jinzhou, both the Han Eight Banners and the Korean army have lost a lot, although Huang Taiji has added some Aha clothes to them, but the number of soldiers is difficult to make up.
Of course, compared with the Jingbian Army, the number of soldiers in the front army at this time also greatly exceeded the total number of soldiers in the Jingbian Army and the Xuanzhen New Army.
And Kong Youde's arrangement of such an army, obviously there is a selfish suspicion of arranging Shi Tingzhu and others as cannon fodder for the front army, but in the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, only Kong Youde and the Jingbian Army have faced off, and Huang Taiji strictly ordered that the Han Army and the Korean Army in this battle are dominated by Kong Youde.
At this juncture of the decisive battle, Shi Tingzhu and the others did not dare to disobey the order, scolded and scolded, and had no choice but to go down to the mountains to command the battle.
Soon, the flags were waving, the trumpets and drums sounded, and in their military formations, the sound of passwords sounded one after another, and then slowly a sea of people went to the Jingbian army array.
Just looking at the closer the Jingbian army on the opposite side, most of the Han army and the Korean army showed nervousness and panic in their eyes.
The Jingbian army and others braved the artillery to advance, and they all saw that they were simply not human, and when they fought against such an army, they would have to shoot face to face at that time, even if they were outnumbered, they were not sure at all.
The extremely long and short horizontal formation in front of them also made them uncomfortable, especially those North Korean soldiers.
Kong Youde carefully arranged and divided the former army into multiple columns. He is self-aware, although he also uses fixed cartridge ammunition, but in terms of loading speed, it is obvious that it cannot be compared with the Jingbian Army, and those North Korean soldiers do not even have fixed cartridge ammunition. The quality of the bird gun is also not as good as that of the Han army.
It seems that the new army of Xuanzhen. The reloading speed is not slow, so the only way to give full play to the numerical advantage, looking at the Jingbian army on the opposite side, they are not divided into four platoons, and their own side is as high as eight or nine platoons, so that in wartime, when they are loaded, their own side can calmly shoot at them.
And the front army of Shi Tingzhu and others fought with Wang Dou after losing both. Wait for yourself and Shang Kegren, and you can pick the fruits of victory.
Kong Youde worked hard and lonely, but his array of left and right for several miles, with a maximum of more than 100 steps in front and back, is obviously difficult to be understood, how to look at it. There is a sense of insecurity, the depth is too thin. Fortunately, with this kind of terrain, if the land of Pingchuan faced the cavalry, Shi Tingzhu and the others would not pay attention to Kong Youde's orders.
When Shi Tingzhu and others greeted them, some Hongyi small cannons in front of the battle also struggled to push forward, and the Jingbian army entered more than a mile. Some of their artillery also opened fire.
It's just that there is no advantage of those heavy artillery on the mountain ridge being condescending and having a wide field of vision, plus this terrain, the effect is not obvious.
And because of heat dissipation problems. During the battle, there were only a few opportunities to bombard, so it was necessary to leave it at close range to bombard the Jingbian army formation, or to shoot shotguns, and these guns stopped firing one after another.
……
Zhao Xuan had ordered the artillery of the artillery battalion to be concentrated, because of the weight of the artillery, as well as the terrain, his artillery battalion of 160 artillery pieces, marching forward and backward, left, left and right, the fastest artillery, had been less than a mile away from the position of the Han Eight Banners, some stragglers of the cavalry battalion, and the night guards to protect them.
The sergeants of the artillery battalion, although armed with bird guns and handguns, obviously did not have their combat skills here, they stood out from the crowd, and the necessary protection was needed.
Although the terrain on this side is not suitable for mass cavalry, there are some areas where small groups of rangers can pass.
They straddled some of the Han army's banner stragglers who harassed and seized the artillery, quickly unloaded the harness and cannons, and came to the formation like hail, and the Han army fired more than a dozen cannons in a row in a certain array, causing the blood and stumps to fly, and the Han army's formation on that side almost collapsed.
Because of the use of silk medicine packs, the skilled gunners of the Jingbian Army could fire several cannons in a row and clear their chambers again, and the shelling was like a storm.
However, the artillery battalion officers who managed these guns were not satisfied, and felt that the killing effect of solid shells was much lower than their psychological expectations.
Obviously, this is due to the topography, under the Yijia Ridge, the ground is undulating, and the dense fields are one after another, and the fields are also covered with all kinds of wild grasses and wild flowers, and the soil is soft, making it difficult to form a ricocheting threat.
He quickly reported the situation to the battalion general Zhao Xuan, and the artillery battalion officer urgently discussed with Zanhua, and Zhao Xuan quickly made a decision, and all the artillery was merged into the infantry array and fought with the gunners.
"At least three guns in a group, each cannon all uses shotguns, take turns bombarding, non-stop!"
When Zhao Xuan ordered to go down, a cold light shot out of his eyes.
The approaching artillery of the Jingbian Army was not fired, which made Kong Youde slightly relieved, and when their artillery approached, Kong Youde was ready to send people to seize the artillery, of course, he could only send some stragglers.
The Qing army had the tactics of using stragglers, and more often used fake guns to lure the enemy, and in the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, this tactic was also inherited, but to seize the artillery, Kong Youde did not dare to use the mass team.
The Jingbian Army Brigade is not far away, and the training in the queue of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty is far inferior to that of the Jingbian Army, if the masses in the army and those gunners are in a scuffle, as long as the Jingbian Army soldiers step forward, the opponent will fire a salvo of birds, and their own people will be defeated.
The rout may also impact the large array, and the array with such a shallow depth on your side may be scattered as soon as it rushes.
But then Kong Youde's heart tightened, it seemed that those Jingbian Army gunners were preparing to fire shotguns.
Looking at the past, the sound of heavy and neat footsteps, it seems that it can be heard here, the dense armor banners of the Jingbian Army and the Xuanzhen New Army, coming from one mile and finally reaching two hundred steps, dense spears and birds, as well as their metal helmets, glittering in the sun.
An overwhelming momentum that spreads unstoppably.
"Mighty!"
"Wei ...... Wu ......"
It was like a Sanskrit voice, and it spread to the sky.
All the soldiers of the Jingbian Army stood, their faces full of pride and pride, and their expressions were full of scorn.
They faced the bombardment of artillery, risked casualties, and forced themselves to the front of the Han Eight Banners, and some of them still had traces of flesh and blood on their armor.
It turns out that the artillery of the Qing army. You can't hit them.
Looking at the Han troops of the various banners opposite, their expressions were full of disdain.
"Heh!"
All the Jingbian sergeants took another step forward and let out a low shout in unison, their shouts were full of authority and murderous intent.
There was a disturbing commotion in the Han army position on the opposite side. Although there are many people. But everyone feels like a lonely swallow on the ocean, so lonely and helpless.
Shi Tingzhu's expression was distorted, and he shouted angrily: "Pretending to be a ghost." ”
Liu Zhiyuan, Zu Zerun and others were silent, and under the momentum of the Jingbian Army, everyone had the feeling of being extremely lonely and lonely although they stood in the world.
Look at your own sergeants again, their faces are full of fear and nervousness, and look at the opposite side, faintly resolute and murderous faces. What a contrast.
The fighting hearts of each other are far apart, can this battle really be won?
Zu Zerun has a complicated mood, where did the Jingbian Army get their faith to support them to fight?
"The whole team. Against! ”
Shi Tingzhu roared.
After walking hundreds of steps on the field, at this time, the Han army and the Korean army arrays fluttering the white flag, the white flag, the blue flag, the red flag, and the Taiji flag were already in chaos. Their eight- and ninth-level queues of gunned soldiers were also crooked, but fortunately, the Jingbian army on the opposite side also needed a whole team.
And regardless of whether it needs to dissipate heat, the Qing army artillery on Yijialing. He didn't dare to open fire, for fear of hitting his own army.
"Dirt Chicken Tile Dog!"
Under the banner of the battalion headquarters, Zhong Xiancai and Han Chao stood side by side, and there were Zhao Xuan, two officers and generals of the Xuanzhen New Army, Wang Dou was not there, Zhong Xiancai's voice returned to softness, but his expression was unprecedentedly stern.
The right battalion array was forced to go, and there were many casualties in the army, Zhong Xian only received a report that one of the generals in the battalion was killed, how could he not be angry?
Han Chao was still calm, that is, after receiving the news of the death of his old subordinate and friend Huang Yujin, he looked at the Han army array opposite for a while, and passed the order: "Collect the horses, the whole team!" ”
The battalion headquarters changed the order and the horn sounded, the whole army was solemn, the horn waved, and immediately the whole army was scattered into a dense formation, and the soldiers slowly aligned closely, except for the officers of the general rank, all the horses of all the people received the battalion headquarters and gathered in the rear of the army formation.
The Jingbian army is fast, although the Xuanzhen new army is slower than the Jingbian army, but it is slightly faster than the Han Eight Banners, with the sound of the order, the two armies are also slowly approaching, each other guns and spearmen, but the distance is more than ten steps.
Because of the formation of formation, all the way to the Qing artillery attack, the number of casualties in the army, the second army of the original four columns of guns and spearmen, has been a little uneven.
The soldiers of the fourth layer of the Jingbian Army stepped forward to ensure that the number of fighters in the first three layers was neat, and some soldiers were also transferred from the remaining reserve battalions in the Xuanzhen New Army, which was also the advantage of the new army.
They formed a long horizontal formation that was more than three miles long from east to west, looking at the Han Eight Banner army formation opposite, which was slightly longer than the Ming army's array, with more layers of soldiers, Shi Tingzhu and others were roaring to reorganize the army, and some of the Han army and the Korean army of the Blue Banner were facing the Xuanzhen New Army.
To be honest, they are quite unaccustomed to this kind of military formation, but Wang Dou used this kind of military formation to fight invincible opponents all over the world, especially in the Qing Dynasty, and he had to learn from it.
At this time, the two sides were far away from each other, the distance was no more than two hundred paces, not even some, the terrain in front of them was open, large areas of dense fields undulating, or some slightly raised hills and slopes, and the soldiers on both sides, trampling on the soft ground under their feet, and large fields of wild grasses and wild flowers, undulating on both sides, until they spread into the distance.
The Jingbian Army and the Xuanzhen New Army, their guns, checked their bird guns for the last time, prepared the arquebus, Zhao Xuan's artillery battalion, each artillery was also stuffed with a kind of silk bag sealed, external shells tied with wood chips, that is, shotguns, and goose feather medicine tubes were also inserted into the fire door.
Suddenly, on the side of the Chinese army, the passionate war drums sounded, and melodious military music came.
Zhong Xiancai's eyelashes moved slightly, he slowly pulled out his sword, raised it hard, and shouted: "Forward!" ”
"Onward!"
"Onward!"
All the soldiers shouted in unison, and to the sound of drums, they stepped on the drums and marched in formation, and the dense weapons, as well as the hats, iron helmets and cloud-winged helmets swayed non-stop.
The straggler marksmen of the battalions had been gathered, and most of them were walking in front to see if it was possible to shoot the enemy gunners and officers, and they had already seen that some of the artillery on the opposite side was also pushed in the second Tartar formation.
The pikemen behind the gunners, on both flanks, looked cautiously to the opposite side to prevent the two Tartars from outflanking, and some of the camp bombardiers followed behind the army. See if there is a chance to throw 10,000 enemies when you see it.
Zhao Xuan's artillery battalion, which had been assembled at this time, had at least three artillery pieces in each place, marching with the army.
There were also some artillery pieces pushed on both flanks of the large formation.
Where there is artillery, the soldiers make room for them. The left and right lengths of the horizontal array have been extended.
Artillery battalion for each artillery. If used correctly, at least dozens or even hundreds of birds, some skirmishers walked in front of the artillery, or on the left and right, as gunner escorts.
Artillery guns pushed forward with great difficulty, and gunners and baggage pushed the ammunition carts vigorously, and they ran over the soft fields, making deep marks.
Listen to the other side in unison. The Jingbian army was forced by the drum music like a wall, and Shi Tingzhu and others on the opposite side were surprised: "So fast? ”
Looking at his own queue, it was still crooked, but there was no way, Shi Tingzhu gritted his teeth and roared: "Go ahead!" ”
Liu Zhiyuan, Zu Zerun, Wu Shoujin and others also looked hideous. burst into shouting: "Those who dare to retreat, cut!" ”
On the side of the North Korean army, Kim Zidian was not listed in the formation, and the leader was the general Kim Yuze, who had a big face and small eyes, a typical Goryeo appearance, and a bright red long cotton armor. The nail leaves on it are densely packed, like a large medal hanging.
He knew that he had no way out, and loudly cheered up his North Korean soldiers.
And those Han soldiers, they made two tartars. There was no way, and under the panic, their faces were distorted, and when they were desperate, they burst out with strong morale.
In the white flag stone pillar formation, an officer gritted his teeth and shouted: "Kill the bright dog!" ”
"Kill the Bright Dog!"
Bursts of shouts erupted in the array of the Han army, and the officers and generals shouted and agitated, and in the roar, they strode towards the Jingbian army and other sides.
The two armies approached closer and closer, looking from the air, in the field, two narrow streams of people were getting closer and closer, and in the central clearing, there seemed to be some small things like ants and insects, and different flags were flying on the ground.
A heavy firelight exploded, and several Han stragglers rolled to the ground and howled, covered with blood holes on their faces, but it was Chen Sheng's side, a sharpshooter in the front of the rear battalion, using eagle cannons, to give a few sneaky two Tartars in front of him.
At the same time, Chen Sheng and Ju Yiwu also used flint Lumi guns to knock down one of the opponent's skirmishers, but a sharpshooter in the department was also hit by a flying stray bullet and rolled to the ground in pain.
The drama of the great battle unfolded between each other's stragglers, and both sides wanted to shake the other side's military formation and kill their officers and gunners, and the closer they got to each other, the fiercer the battle between the stragglers became.
However, the two sides did not move in large formations, and still pressed forward in formation, occasionally some stray bullets hit the sergeants in their formation, and each other still continued to move forward.
Needless to say, the Jingbian Army was the army of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, and it also knew that at this time, the public could not move in vain, otherwise the battle would not start, and most of the chances of victory would have been lost.
Gunsmoke rose from time to time in the middle of the formation, and some stragglers on both sides fell in the sound of guns one after another.
Obviously, the stragglers of the Han Eight Banners are not the opponents of the Jingbian Army, they are still the old trick of luring the enemy with fake guns, and they are no better than the sharpshooters of the Jingbian Army with real swords and real guns.
Soon, the stragglers of the Han Eight Banners were defeated, and the artillery in their array, after some gunners were shot, had to stop, relying on the front military formation to cover, and even some of their archers rushed out to shoot at the sharpshooters of the Jingbian army.
Because both sides marched on foot, and soon approached each other by 100 paces, the stragglers of the Jingbian army retreated, Shi Tingzhu and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and in a short skirmish, some of their officers or gunners had already been killed, and if they continued to delay, they did not know what would happen to the large formation.
Finally, the Jingbian Army and the Xuanzhen New Army, in the sound of drums, stopped a hundred steps away from the Han Eight Banner Army formation, and after a shout, it seemed that the land had returned to tranquility.
All the soldiers of the Jingbian Army looked at each other with resolute expressions, that is, those new soldiers in Xuanfu Town, all of them were in the prime of life or immature faces, and they also showed fear and nervousness, but their expressions told others that they were trying their best to be strong and calm.
Looking at the bannermen of the Han army on the opposite side, they all had different expressions, or dead ashes, or panic, or hideous, or ferocious, one by one.
All the warriors of the Ming and Qing dynasties will face a direct test of death at this time, this is the way to fight that relies on the will of the warriors the most, who can win, who can survive?
Wang Dou looked ahead calmly, and Kong Youde on Yijialing was also looking forward to it.
Han Chao shouted violently: "Attention of the whole army, first layer, come forward!" ”
"Mighty!"
The Jingbian Army and the Xuanzhen New Army, a total of 1,600 soldiers in each platoon, roared in unison, and they took a step forward and clenched the bird guns in their hands hard.
They feel that the weapon in their hands gives them strength!
Shi Tingzhu woke up suddenly, and roared, "Let the first-layer soldiers step forward!" ”
Liu Zhiyuan, Zu Zerun and the others also woke up and shouted, "Guncorps stepped forward...... Ready for the first floor! ”
"Ready!"
"Ready!"
"Aim at the target!"
In the midst of the officers' shouting, the Jingbian Army and other dense firearms were turned down, and under the banners flying in the cold wind, the black and pressed guns were aimed at the front.
"Shoot!"
The sound of popping beans rang for a long time, the Jingbian Army and the Xuanzhen New Army fired a fierce volley, the gunpowder smoke spurted out of the gun, and a series of screams came out from a hundred steps on the opposite side, and hundreds of Han soldiers fell to the ground in a sluggish manner, and then woke up and fell to the ground in pain and struggled.
Their blood stained the ground below, making the weeds and flowers seem to be even more delicate.
Some of the bullets even passed through the gap between the guns and hit the Han Eight Banner sword and shield soldiers and pikemen in the rear.
The Jingbian arms gun is extremely powerful, it can break through heavy armor in 100 steps, and if it is hit, it is also seriously injured if it is not killed, that is, it is difficult to hit many targets at a distance of 100 steps, but it is also the end of being disabled if a stray bullet rushes from afar.
There was a commotion in the position of the Han Eight Banners, and the officers desperately pressed it, and also made up for the vacant number of people in the front row from the rear.
At this time, after the Jingbian Army and the Xuanzhen New Army fired on the first layer, the soldiers of the third row had quickly stepped forward and walked to the front row, while the soldiers in the first row were not on the spot, loading and loading cartridge ammunition.
They used the tactics of shooting slowly, and the more they pressed forward, the more accurate the Jingbian soldiers and others would be.
Obviously, Shi Tingzhu and the other troops are not suitable for this style of fighting, and the bombardment without cover face-to-face is too heavy for the test of will, and few people have this kind of willpower.
Although in the territory of the Qing Dynasty, Kong Youde and others conducted training for a long time for this tactic, and then the battlefield was different from training after all.
After the first layer of shooting, the Han army on the opposite side was obviously blinded, taking advantage of this opportunity, the Jingbian army and the Xuanzhen new army, launched another salvo, the opposite side sounded more howls, many Han soldiers who were shot, rolling all over the ground, making a dying painful move.
However, at this time, a salvo was also fired on the opposite side, although the Han army's guns were not as sharp as the birds on the east road, and their shooting skills were not as good as the Jingbian army, and the Korean soldiers' bird guns were even more unbearable, but after the guns, there were still a large number of Jingbian army guns and Xuanzhen guns fell, and they rolled to the ground and let out painful groans.
Even some of the back-level gunners and bird-gunned soldiers have fallen......
The sound of guns came one after another, and in front of the positions of the two sides of the Ming and Qing dynasties, with the sound of guns, two narrow areas of gunsmoke slowly rose into the air.
In the flames, the positions of both sides were littered with corpses and wounded, and the weeds under them, which had been yellow, were already dyed bright red......
