"Toot Toot Toot Toot Toot T

The dense rain of arrows flew towards the Ming army's chariot formation, landing on the thorn chariots and shields with a terrifying sound, although the shields of the sword and shield men formed a large net to protect most of the sergeants, but there were still a few arrows through the gaps between the shields and shot at the soldiers hiding behind. The soldier who was hit by the arrow was immediately dragged down by his companions to rescue him.

At the same time, the Birdmen, heavily protected by the Thorn Chariot and their shields, shot vengeful fury through the gaps between their shields, and as the sound of fried beans continued to sound, lead bullets flew forward with the kinetic energy emitted by the burning of gunpowder.

Many Qing soldiers who were galloping their horses and bending their bows and arrows only felt a sharp pain on their bodies, and their originally strong arms immediately hung down, and then the whole person fell off his horse. As the saying goes, the horse shoots the horse first, and in this case, the target of the horse is indeed larger than the person, and many horses are shot by lead bullets in the process of running, and due to severe pain, they raise their front hooves and drop their owners off the horse.

Objectively speaking, this tactic used by the Qing soldiers was indeed a very advanced tactic 300 years ago, and the essence of this tactic was to attack the enemy from a long distance and continuously attack the enemy without giving the enemy a chance to fight back. No matter how strong the enemy's spirit and armor may be under such an attack, it is only a matter of time before it completely collapses.

However, this method of warfare must have a premise, that is, when using this tactic, your own bow and arrow range should be farther than that of the opponent, and your own bow and arrow should be better than the opponent's. Three hundred years ago, the Mongols had the longest range and most lethal combined bow in the world at the time (this weapon usually consisted of an animal tendon on the back, a layer of horn on the belly of the bow, and a wooden frame in the middle). The bow had a pull force between 50 kg and 75 kg, and was short enough for cavalry to wield freely, which was also the magic weapon of the Mongol soldiers in those days. However, the Qing soldiers were different, the bows and arrows used by the Qing soldiers emphasized accuracy and power, and the range was not as far as the bows and arrows of the Mongols, and now the development of firearms has begun to exceed the range and power of bows and arrows, so the so-called encirclement salvo method that Amur sacrificed this time is destined to be bloodied in front of the chariots with a large number of firearms.

"Bang Bang"

As the sound of birds continued to sound, the cavalry who were galloping around the chariot formation fell off their horses one by one, and the fate of those who fell off their horses was conceivable, either they were killed or trampled into meat sauce by the hooves of the horses galloping behind.

Amur, who was watching the battle in the back, saw that the brave and good warriors in the peace were shot down and dismounted by the Ming army one by one like geese in the sky, although he still had a gloomy look on the surface, but the hand holding the horsewhip was trembling.

A Niu Lu couldn't bear to look at it anymore, and knelt down in front of Amur and cried sadly: "My lord, you can't fight like this anymore, these Ming army's firearms are too strong, and if you continue to fight like this, you can only let our warriors die in vain!" ”

The muscles on Amur's face couldn't help but twitch, and the strength of his whole body seemed to be drained away in an instant, and after a while, he finally said: "That's it, order them all to withdraw!" ”

"Woo woo"

Soon a desolate trumpet sounded in the formation of the Qing soldiers, and after hearing the sound of the trumpet, the light horsemen, who were still persevering in the chariot array, quickly retreated to their own formation like amnesty, and lined up in front of Amur.

Looking at the cavalry with less than 400 people left in front of him and these Qing warriors who originally didn't know what to be afraid of, there was a hint of fear and panic in their eyes, and the corners of Amur's eyes twitched twice involuntarily, and more than 200 cavalrymen were lost in the half-pillar of incense just now, which are all elites with blue flags. The Manchus began to practice martial arts at the age of ten, and it took at least ten years of hard work to train a qualified cavalryman, but now a small lead bullet easily took their surname, is this still the cowardly Ming Dynasty army in their impression?

Amur's originally straight back was also bent, not only did he not gain anything this time, but he lost more than 500 horse armor and armor men, and the entire armor lost one-third of his troops, which can be described as a great injury, and after he returned to the Texas Mansion, I am afraid that Lord Abatai will not easily spare himself.

Looking at the Ming army's chariot array still standing still in the distance and the big banner with the word "Pang" erected in the chariot array, Amur, who had been fighting for more than 20 years, felt bitter in his heart, and he knew that from today onwards, his Jia Lazhangjing would probably become the laughing stock of the blue flag or the entire Eight Banners.

"This Ming army surnamed Pang will be my fierce opponent of the Qing Dynasty in the future!"

"Withdraw your troops!"

Amur's palm was pierced with a bloody stain from his own fingernails, and he stared at the banner as if he wanted to keep the word Pang firmly in his heart. After a long time, the order to withdraw the troops was reluctantly issued.

"My lord, what about the corpses of our warriors, shall we let them be beheaded by the Ming army to receive the reward?" A Niu Lu looked at the corpses of his companions in front of him, and said unwillingly: "If we want to withdraw our troops, we must bring the corpses of those warriors back to their families." ”

There is a rule in the Manchurian Eight Banners that after snatching back the corpse of one's own warrior in wartime and carrying it back to his hometown, he can get half of the person's family property. When the Qing troops retreated just now, except for a small number of lightly wounded personnel who were able to retreat with the group, most of the corpses of the Qing soldiers who died in battle and many seriously wounded were abandoned in front.

Amur sighed: "Forget it, if we get these corpses back, I don't know how many warriors we will lose, and now we can't afford to lose anymore." ”

The cow's expression also darkened after hearing this, and he silently took a few steps back without saying anything.

With the sound of horns resounding throughout the battlefield, the Qing soldiers took the infantry as the vanguard, and the cavalry slowly retreated backwards.

"My lord, the Tartars have withdrawn, and we have won! Let's win those Tartars! ”

Seeing that the Qing soldiers finally retreated, Da Zhuang, Li Yuan and others beside Pang Gang couldn't help cheering, but Pang Gang, who was standing in the middle, gave another order, "Divide five hundred sword and shield soldiers out of the car formation to clean up the battlefield." ”

Soon, a group of sword and shield soldiers rushed out of the formation and began to clean up the battlefield, they cut off the heads of the Qing soldiers from the corpses, took off their armor, put away the weapons scattered everywhere, and the wounded Qing soldiers who were seriously injured and groaned also cut them with a knife, cut off their ranks, and gathered more than 50 Qing army war horses that were scattered and fled.

After the time of half the incense, Pang Gang's department had already reorganized the formation and was ready to start again, Da Zhuang looked at Pang Gang and asked with some hesitation: "My lord, now do we want to follow behind the Tartar?" ”

Pang Gang sneered: "Of course, if you beat us up, how can there be such a good thing, come and leave if you want to come, when we are an inn?" Pass my orders, form a battle formation, with the bird soldiers and sword and shield men on the flanks, and the pikemen in the center to advance towards Sitong Town! Then sprinkle all the night away, and report it immediately if there is any situation! ”

"Yes!"

With the sound of drums, groups of soldiers formed small phalanxes, and then formed large phalanxes and slowly marched forward. They formed a strict formation, accompanied by the beat of drums, spears and birds like a forest, and galloped around the perimeter of the phalanx at night, slowly approaching behind the retreating Qing soldiers.

Seeing that the Ming army behind him actually caught up, Amur was shocked and angry, when did the warriors of their Great Qing Kingdom ignore the Ming army so much, and follow their team so closely, aren't they afraid of their own horse guns? Not only Amur, but many Qing generals are angry and aggrieved in their hearts, why don't I fight, I can't leave if I want to?

After this battle, many of the Qing soldiers of the Jiala have been afraid of the Ming army, as the saying goes, the stunned are afraid of dying, this Ming army belongs to the ranks of not dying, their hearts have put away the contempt for the Ming army in the past, and now they only want to leave this ghost place as soon as possible, fortunately, these Ming troops just formed a formation and stared at it far away and did not come up to attack, which also made them feel comforted, but some people were staring at the side, and many Qing soldiers had a panic in their hearts that they had never had. The Qing soldiers marched in front, either on horseback or on foot. There were also those who had horses or no horses who carried the carts and baggage behind, and finally a group of Qing soldiers rode behind to cover the march of the auxiliaries.

Pang Gang led the army to follow behind without hurry, the terrain here was flat, and the march on the field was not barrier-free. Pang Gang's subordinates have always maintained a strict queue, and Lingshan Wei's usual harsh physical fitness and array training also allowed the sergeants to easily follow the enemy's advance.

There was a fierce army following behind his ass, and no one was comfortable, and the light cavalry of the Qing soldiers turned back from time to time to disturb. Pang Gang's method of dealing with them is also very simple, they do not accept the interception at night when they are few, and when there are many people, Pang Gang ordered the team to slow down, when those light cavalry saw the black moving muzzle stretched out in the phalanx, none of the Qing cavalry dared to rush up and slash, today's killing and the power of firearms have made them completely frightened.

Not all of the Qing soldiers had horses, especially those who were auxiliaries who had horses, and they were slow to march with numerous mules and horses. The Qing soldiers saw that the Ming army behind them was just unhurried and just followed behind them hundreds of paces, and they couldn't shake it off, which made many Qing soldiers inevitably panic in their hearts, and the pace of the march began to scatter.

At noon, Amur finally ordered to throw away some looted people and bulky belongings in order to speed up, and these things Pang Gang also unceremoniously smiled, so the Qing soldiers picked up while throwing Pang Gang, until in the evening Amur finally withdrew to their base camp in Shandong, Dezhou Mansion.
