Chapter 117: Brutal hand-to-hand combat
In Lingshanwei's previous confrontations with the Qing soldiers, most of them were mainly based on the use of firearms, and the opportunities for hand-to-hand combat with the Qing soldiers were really rare, and Da Zhuang himself was also the first time to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Qing soldiers. When he fought the waistcoat with three guards, the waistcoat's fierce attack immediately taught Da Zhuang a lesson.
This vest soldier was armed with a half-moon short-handled axe and a heavy shield, although he was facing four Ming soldiers, but he was not afraid, and a heavy shield danced vigorously, almost without a drop of water, Da Zhuang led three sergeants with four spears could not get close to him, which made Da Zhuang who fought hand-to-hand with the Qing soldiers for the first time was greatly surprised. After half a year of hard training, although I dare not say how superb the marksmanship is, but it is also a top class in the Lingshan Guard, and now it is blocked by a Tartar armor soldier with one enemy and four enemies, it seems that the skills of the Tartar soldiers are really not covered.
Although he knew the ferocity of the Tartar soldiers, no one thought of retreating at this time, and soon heard a loud "clang" sound, and all the iron spears stabbed by the four people were blocked by the horse armor soldier with a wide heavy shield.
The trembling pain of the moment after being slashed into the bone by the heavy blade caused the guard to let out a heart-rending scream, and he let go of the iron gun and fell to his knees in a trembling way. Looking at the bloody and bloody state of the Ming army in front of him, the horse armor soldier showed a smug look on his face, obviously he was very confident in his skills, but unfortunately he forgot that his opponent was more than one, when his big axe slashed on the sergeant's body, the empty door on his body was exposed, and then he heard the burly strong man in front of him let out a violent roar, although he couldn't understand the language of those Han people, but he could also feel the anger in that voice, Then three iron spears pierced through the open door he had exposed.
Three sharp iron spears pierced through the empty door on his right chest like a poisonous snake at lightning speed, and the spear head made of stainless steel with blood grooves easily broke through the two layers of heavy armor on his body, piercing deeply into his body, and the severe pain made the horse armor soldier's whole body convuls. The horse armor soldier felt that life was passing rapidly from his body, he roared loudly, mustered up the last remaining strength and raised the short-handled axe to throw it out towards the Ming army officer wearing a hundred household costumes in front of him, at this moment there was only one thought in his heart, that is, to pull a cushion on his back when he was dying.
But his wish was disappointed, and there was another loud shout from the side, and the corner of his eye swept to another spear stabbing towards him, and before he could react, he heard his last voice in this world. With a soft "pop", a sharp spear tip pierced his throat, and the momentum of this shot was extremely ferocious, directly stabbing him to the ground.
Such a scene was playing out everywhere in the car formation at this time, and the Qing soldiers were fighting the Ming army with their superb personal skills, rich combat experience, and fierce spirit, while the Ming army relied on skillful cooperation, ordinary and strict training, and Tartar fighting.
At this time, it was only the two hundred pikemen in the first row who fought with the Qing soldiers, and after a short battle, the nearly 100 Qing soldiers who rushed into the car formation immediately fell more than twenty, but the sergeants of Lingshanwei also paid almost the same casualties, seeing such a scene, Pang Gang's face couldn't help but twitch fiercely, but this expression was quickly covered up by him. He quickly gave an order, and the standard-bearer next to him immediately gave another order.
The herald, who had been staring at the chess player's orders on the battlefield, immediately shouted at the pikemen: "The pikemen are in the first row and the second is up!" ”
With the issuance of the order, the pikemen, who were originally inseparable from the Qing soldiers, covered each other very tacitly and retreated, and the second row of pikemen met up without waiting for the Qing army to pursue, and the two sides began a fierce battle again.
A horse armor soldier of the Qing soldiers saw another row of Ming troops in front of him, and he roared wildly, brandished a heavy shield and the long knife in his hand and rushed forward with a shield and crashed into several stabbing spears, and then the long knife in his hand was skillfully raised, and slashed at the neck of a pikeman, and his hand pulled, the spearman's neck immediately flew out of the blood mist in the sky, and the blood gushed out like a fountain, and the pikeman also spit out Bobo blood in his mouth under severe pain, In pain, he grabbed the sharp blade of the long knife like a madman, even if his hands were about to be cut off by the long knife, and the blood kept gushing out of his hands, he didn't care.
Looking at the sergeant's violent eyes, although the Qing soldier was also stunned, he didn't pay attention to the killing on the battlefield, but just stretched out his foot and kicked the sergeant's body hard, kicking the dying sergeant to the ground.
But it was just such an instant that the pikemen in front of him grabbed the flaw, and three or four spears stabbed him in the lower abdomen at the moment when the Qing soldier raised his feet, and the sharp spear tip pierced in and retracted like lightning after the spear was recovered, and the blue-gray intestines in the lower abdomen of the horse armor soldier also flowed out.
This moment was so short-lived, that the vest soldier only felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, when he looked down, he found that his blue-gray intestines had flowed to the ground with a pool of blood and a pile of slimy things, the vest soldier immediately let out an unbelievable exclamation, the severe pain and fear made him unconsciously let go of the long knife and heavy shield in his hand, the inhuman pain made him involuntarily kneel down, he involuntarily stretched out his hands and picked up the blue-gray intestines on the ground, Trembling and trying to stuff it back into his stomach despite the mud and sand all over the ground, the Ming army in front did not give him this chance, and soon ended his life after being stabbed in the heart by two spears that came almost at the same time.
In the era of cold weapons, the scene of hand-to-hand combat was very cruel, cruel enough to make even the strongest warriors feel afraid. Although the two sides only had a brief contact, the Qing soldiers and the Lingshan guards each suffered more than 20 casualties. Seeing such a cruel situation, and then seeing that those Ming troops rushed up with their guns frantically. Many of the Qing soldiers began to be timid, and they even retreated and scattered for the first time, even the remaining vest soldiers.
The vest soldiers that Amur had allocated to Sakhalian were originally sixty men, but when they were charging into battle, more than thirty were killed or wounded by the blows of the four platoons of fire. In addition, one of the vest soldiers was killed by the bird, and the other was also killed on the spot in the hand-to-hand combat just now. Along with the deaths of several vest soldiers, there were now more than forty Qing soldiers left, including auxiliaries, and these Qing soldiers had long been stunned by this terrifying casualty rate. Due to the large number of casualties among the officers at the lower levels, they had lost their organizational surnames and fought mostly on their own. The field courage and skills they were originally proud of were not reflected in the battle with this group of Ming troops, these Ming troops had the same martial courage, the same fearlessness of death, and the confidence of the other party to the death was not inferior to theirs, which made their only courage dissipate without a trace.
A 300-strong Niu Lu was killed and wounded nearly ninety percent in just one impact, and such a terrifying casualty rate made these Qing soldiers who were known for their bravery feel frightened, and they saw the Ming pikemen in front of them retreat after a round of fighting with their own side, and they were replaced by another platoon of pikemen. The tip of the spear that shone with cold light was now tantamount to a life talisman in their eyes, and the Qing soldiers finally collapsed, and they let out a shout in unison, and collectively turned backwards and ran backwards in unison.
Although the Qing soldiers were known for their strict military discipline, this era actually emphasized more on individual martial arts, and the same was true for the Qing soldiers. In terms of personal combat experience, most of them are objectively stronger than the soldiers of the Lingshan Guard, but what they lack is the concept of group and discipline emphasized in the Lingshan Guard.
The formation training in the Liling Mountain Guards was very hard and cruel, and as soon as the action went out of shape, the big stick of the training officer was immediately knocked down, which made the three stabbing moves handed down by Pang Gang have been integrated into their bones. Now the benefits of this kind of brutal training in Pingsuli have also begun to be reflected, and when the two sides are fighting hand-to-hand, the soldiers of Lingshan Wei cooperate very tacitly, and the concept of fighting more and fighting less that Pang Gang teaches them at all times is deeply rooted in their bone marrow. For example, whenever possible, they never fight alone, at least a small flag against different enemies. When attacking, they swarmed up, several big guns stabbed together, the entire Xiaoqi team was indomitable, and even disregarded their own life and death, this kind of almost the same way of playing, so that the Qing soldiers could not swing any martial arts. The personal skills of the Qing soldiers are very clever, but in the battle, there are as few as three or four spears stabbed, and as many as a dozen spears, even if you have three heads and six arms, you can't resist so many weapons stabbed together, this is the overall cooperation that Pang Gangping emphasized.
With such a desperate style of play against Shangling Shanwei, unless the opponent is determined to exchange his life with them, it will be difficult to crack the opponent's attack. But this kind of practice, but those Qing soldiers are unwilling, they just come to rob things, not to send them to death, when the robbers meet the weak, they will be very fierce, but when they meet more fierce outlaws than them, they are like bitches meeting strong * annihilators, no way.
The speed at which the Qing soldiers fled was very proportional to the speed of the attack, and before the pikemen could rush up they ran out of the chariots, and they ran back to their positions with a speed faster than they had come.
Seeing the defeat of the Qing soldiers, Pang Gang, who was standing in the middle of the car formation and watching the battle situation all the time, immediately ordered the pikemen to stop advancing, and let the bird gunners press up, "Bang Bang Bang", and a burst of gunfire like fried beans rang out again
