Chapter 478: The First Warrior of Despair

A messenger galloped in.

Fu Shan, the privy envoy sitting in Gubeikou, asked, "What is the situation?" ”

"We have surrounded Hauge's 30,000 horses in Karahetun, and now we are encircling and annihilating them." The messenger was unusually tired, but his voice was extremely excited, "A beautiful ambush, Hauge has wings and cannot fly. ”

Fu Shan stood at the head of the city and looked north, and could vaguely see the Qing army's exploration horses swimming.

"Looks like Dodor doesn't know about it yet, very well." He called the herald and said, "Call the armies at once." ”

When the generals arrived, Fu Shan was already fully armed, and he happily announced the latest situation to the generals, "His Majesty the Emperor has led 50,000 elites to stop the retreating 30,000 Haoge soldiers and horses at the Luanhe River, and now he has successfully surrounded them. Ladies and gentlemen, what we have to do now is to take advantage of the unpreparedness of the Duoduo on the other side and immediately launch a counterattack to hold Duoduo back and prevent them from escaping. ”

Many generals were shocked only when they learned that the emperor had personally led troops to outflank the Qing army.

At the same time, everyone was also excited about the possibility of finally starting the fight, having been provoked by the Qing army for so long, and had been asked not to fight back, everyone was suffocated.

"Finally fuck me."

"My brothers can't wait!"

"Privy envoy, say it, how to fight!"

The generals were excited and shouted in unison. When Fu Shan saw this situation, he was very satisfied, the military spirit was usable, and the morale was positive. It seems that the previous emperor deliberately suppressed the soldiers, but it played a very good role.

At this time, on the Luanhe battlefield, the cavalry group led by Ao Bai and Haoge had already rushed into the mushroom array laid by Liu Jun. Just as Liu Jun had predicted, after the Qing cavalry rushed through, they found that things were a little different from what they imagined. In their original expectation, these small infantry formations, which were no more than two or three hundred men each, would definitely not be able to stop their thunderous blow, and in the face of their iron cavalry charge, they could only collapse. trampled on and fled.

And then, in fact, when they approached, they found that these regiments of infantry were not soft persimmons, but all hedgehogs who had nowhere to go.

The flintlock rifle with a sleeve bayonet turned into a spear more than six feet long, and it was not a simple spear, these spears could shoot fierce lead bullets at any time, and even reload repeatedly. When more than 200 people formed a group and formed a hollow array.

They became a hedgehog with spikes all over their bodies.

A shiny bayonet. There is nowhere to put your mouth shut. Especially behind the outer bayonet array, there are still rows of shooters. At first, the Qing army also wondered why the Han army did not form a denser phalanx and form an iron wall.

Now the Qing army understands why that's why.

If it is a large phalanx of iron plates, it does not have much advantage against large-scale cavalry. Because of this, the center of gravity of the defense is all on the outside, and this means that the infantry can attack very few people outside.

And now the Han army has taken the initiative to put up this kind of large and small chain hollow array full of gaps, but it has made their defense have no dead ends. The circular phalanx defends in all directions, especially this kind of array can attract the Qing army to go deeper, and then countless small hollow arrays can attack the Qing army at the same time.

From the contact of only two faces, to the center of flowering. It's not the same at all.

In the face of this kind of hollow chain formation, there are few cavalry phalanxes to fight past, they are used to chasing when they see the air, and the result is getting deeper and deeper. It is not so much that they broke through to the Han army, but that they were counter-surrounded.

The sound of the artillery had gradually stopped, and the Qing army crossed the line of death from the shelling. Rushed into the Han army's serial array. The artillery was temporarily useless, but this was not an easy start for the Qing army, but the beginning of their greater nightmare.

Ao Bai led his subordinates to rush left and right in this mushroom array, only to find that he had nowhere to break at all. Everywhere you go, it's a hail of bullets.

The formation of the Han army that formed a mushroom formation was extremely stable, even if tens of thousands of them rushed in, they still did not rush across them and disperse them, but they were separated by these countless hollow arrays.

The Qing army, which had finally rushed over in the face of the Han army's infantry hollow chain formation, was helpless and could only move around like headless flies, running from here to there, and from that side to this side.

Ao Bai felt as if he had lost his way.

The sky above the battlefield was filled with black gunsmoke, blocking the sunlight and making it impossible for him to see his surroundings clearly. There were clusters of hollow arrays everywhere around him, which made him feel even more lost in his direction, no matter where he rushed, he was surrounded by the same hollow array, the same blue and red Han army uniform, the same firecracker, and the same bayonet.

Gunfire after gunfire never stopped.

The small infantry hollow array seemed to have only about 200 people, but they were very close to each other and could rely on each other. In fact, these hollow arrays formed a large net that caught all of their cavalry.

No matter where they swooped, they were the same enemy, front, right, south, south, north, west.

Rows of bullets can be fired after a very short reload, and they even have the spare strength to distribute the fire into several rounds, so that the hollow array has maintained continuous firepower, and any cavalry who wants to charge hard will bear huge firepower.

Many of the cavalrymen either couldn't bear it and ran forward, or were shot and killed by the infantry of the Han army's phalanx, which was in front and behind.

Moreover, these hateful Han troops not only had sharp muskets, but they also had a large number of grenades. Igniting and throwing at close range is a lingering nightmare for the Qing cavalry who lost their speed and were trapped in the formation.

Every time there was an explosion, the Qing cavalry would fall.

Many Qing troops have seen the Three Kingdoms, and it is said that the Romance of the Three Kingdoms was once the magic weapon of Nurhachi and Huang Taiji's invincibility. Many Qing army generals who were full of despair in the formation at this time couldn't help but think, could this formation in front of them be the mysterious but powerful gossip array of the Han people?

Where is his birth?

The battlefield is a slaughterhouse, and the once invincible Eight Banners are now being slaughtered wantonly. Their blood soaked the earth, and their corpses piled up.

Cao Donggen no longer kills a Qing captive, and says that he will avenge so-and-so.

Because he had already killed too many Qing prisoners, in less than half a day after the start of the war, he had already shot seventeen Qing soldiers with his own hands. His companions were no worse than him, especially their company commander, who was nothing short of a killing machine, a ruthless executioner.

He estimated that the company commander had killed at least thirty of them.

Outside the hollow array of their company, the corpses of fallen people and horses were already piled up. In fact, this is not their entire record.

The hollow array of their company had actually been moving slowly.

The entire Han army's infantry Dalian ring formation has been moving slowly, moving in the northeast direction, which is the direction of the Qing army's breakthrough.

Cao Donggen's company has always maintained a hollow circle formation, slowly moving as it fights.

The tension, excitement and excitement before the start of the war were gone, and everyone was only tired and tired. Carrying heavy equipment on their backs, they kept in formation at all times, while constantly loading and shooting on the battlefield filled with gunsmoke, blood, and even the stench of feces and urine.

I didn't care about drinking a sip of water, I didn't care about eating a mouthful of dry food, and I didn't even have time to put water when I was urgent.

It's a terrible slaughter, they're that huge meat grinder.

Thirty thousand Qingqi was stuffed in, and then it was constantly ground into meat sauce.

Cao Donggen's fellow countryman Jiang Donghai's luck was not as good as him, and the tall fellow was arranged on the outside. As a result, not long after the battle began, he was directly thrown by a captive with a javelin, and the shot was right in the chest.

The ordinary line infantry of the Han army was only equipped with ordinary cotton armor, which could defend against ordinary bows and arrows and muskets, but if they were close, they could not be stopped, let alone extremely lethal weapons such as hand axes and gun marks.

This fellow villager who pulled him to pray to Sanqing Tianzun before the war, the amulet on his body did not protect him. He was killed immediately after being shot, and he didn't even have time to kill an enemy.

He knew that Jiang Donghai's background was similar to his own, he was also a ginseng picker, his father and brother died in the hands of the Tartars, he was even worse than himself, his sisters were all taken captive when the Qing army invaded Korea, and he was taken captive with his sisters at that time. But after being brought back to the Qing Dynasty, he was rewarded to Qing soldiers for clothing, while his sisters were taken to Shenyang and sold to the Qing elites as property.

He always wanted revenge and recovered the blood debt from the Tartars, and he joined the Han army in the hope that one day he could fight in Shenyang and rescue his sister.

"If you have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely help you rescue them." Cao Donggen thought silently in his heart, and glanced back, where his fellow villagers fell.

Cao Donggen didn't have much time to think about that, he was now like a part of a huge machine, following his companions.

Keep shooting, keep reloading, keep moving.

The battlefield filled with gunsmoke was full of corpses, most of which belonged to the Qing army, but many of them belonged to the Han army. This kind of hand-to-hand combat, even with superior firepower and superior battle formations, can still avoid casualties.

Someone falls all the time.

This kind of combat method used to be avoided by Liu Jun, but now, in order to solve the hidden dangers in the north as soon as possible, Liu Jun also has to fight this battle.

Countless soldiers of the Han army, the first time they participated in the battle, they fell forever.

War is so cruel that it depends on who can hold out to the end.

And this war suddenly changed the situation in an instant, under the fierce blows of the Han army's artillery and infantry arrays, the Qing army failed to attack for a long time, suffered heavy casualties, and was the first to collapse.

The Qing army, which was caught in the chain of Han army's large arrays, struggled violently, in exchange for extremely tragic casualties, when their troops were constantly violated, scattered, annihilated, when they could no longer see their own banner, no longer hear their own horn, and faced only endless slaughter, they collapsed.

I don't know who gave up and surrendered first, and soon this despair spread like the wind throughout the battlefield, and more and more desperate Qing troops began to give up the struggle and surrender to their fate.

Ao Bai, the first warrior of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, was still bravely rushing to kill, but gradually, there were fewer and fewer people and horses following him, and there were more and more Han troops around him! (To be continued.) )
