Chapter 237: Who Can Plunder Its Edge
The dense layers of Qing army's heavy-armored pikemen shouted and rushed in, their ten-foot-long eight-banner spears and eight-foot-long tiger spears, all of which were bright and bright, standing up in pieces, shining a dazzling light.
After the Shunxiang army fired two salvos of firearms, the first two rows of firearms had retreated to the third row and reloaded. With the convenience of Shunxiang Fort to order paper munitions, the harsh training of the Shunxiang Army was only a short time, and the two rows of firecrackers had already loaded their own paper munitions.
The third row of musketeers raised their muskets again and aimed at the heavily armored soldiers who rushed in place.
↓ Put!
There was a loud shout, followed by a deafening burst of firearms.
A large area of gunpowder smoke rose up, and a large group of heavy armored soldiers of the Qing army with spears and halberds rolled to the ground. At a distance of seventy or eighty paces, the Shunxiang Army's firearms could already break through their heavy armor, that is, the firearms did not penetrate their armor after being hit, and the huge impact of the firearms projectiles was enough to shatter their bodies behind the armor. ↓ Put!
When the platoon had finished firing his gunpowder, he immediately retreated until he was behind the pikemen. The original first row of hundreds of firecrackers raised their firearms in dense layers, and the Qing army, which was nearly forty or fifty paces away, pulled the plate machine mercilessly.
The violent sound of the fire bolt was incessant, and each person's fire rope ignited the primer in their own fire door, and the glittering flames rose up, and then turned into smoke and fire that erupted violently from the mouth of the fire. The result was a deafening volley of firing guns.
Clouds of blood mist emerged from the bodies of those Qing soldiers wearing heavy armor, and at a distance of forty or fifty paces, there was no armor in the Shunxiang Fort that could not be broken. A large number of Qing soldiers who were shot fell to the ground one by one, covering their wounds and howling in pain.
I don't know if these Qing army heavy armor gunners are brave or stupid, after the two rows of Shunxiang Fort firers fired a volley, they have already suffered hundreds of casualties, and the originally dense array is empty. However, the rest of the Qing soldiers and heavy armor still rushed up with their guns frantically. Many people stumbled and charged, and there was a long intestine under the lower abdomen.
As before, the platoon of musketeers finished firing their own ammunition and immediately retreated until they were behind the pikemen, nervously reloading their regular cartridge ammunition.
The gun forest in front of them is still densely layered, and the warriors in the banner have already suffered more than half of the casualties, and they still can't break their military formation a little. Many people could no longer suppress their fear and ran backwards screaming. Some people rushed to the ground screaming, and then were stabbed to death one by one by the spearmen of the Shunxiang Army.
Wang Dou stood in the position of the Chinese army, through the smoke of the fire that had not yet been blown away by the cold wind, he could see that many Qing soldiers over there had been beaten, some people were holding their heads and running around, some people were discarding their weapons, screaming and fleeing back, and the rest of the people were stunned, not knowing what to do. Wang Dou sneered: "The slave thief is defeated!" ”
The strength of this Qing army's heavy armor was beyond Wang Dou's expectations, and it lasted until more than half of the casualties collapsed. Or maybe it's their habitual thinking, they didn't react all of a sudden, and it was too late to react. Wang Dou snorted coldly: "Order, march in formation!" ”
The beat of the Chinese military drum sounded, and immediately all the Shunxiang soldiers stood straight again. They held guns in the front row and guns in the back, spears and guns were like a forest, and the whole array began to move slowly like a moving castle to the beat of marching drums. "Forward!"
The Shunxiang army marched in formation, like a wall, and the Qing soldiers in front of them did not retreat, and no one dared to step forward to meet the battle, and the edge was slightly frustrated. "Forward!"
The momentum of the Shunxiang army was unstoppable, and all their sergeants were armed with guns and guns, with a proud look on their faces. In this world, no one can stop their progress, the Qing soldiers can't set the red flag, the flag can't, and the rest of the eight flag soldiers can't! "Defeated? One by one, one by one
Looking at the wolf rushing in front of him, the soldiers in the banner who retreated like a tide, and Duoduo under the dragon in the Qing army's array lost his soul. He couldn't believe that his heavily armored warriors and strong archers in the white flag, facing each other head-to-head, were not the opponents of King Ming Dou Gao at all.
He saw very clearly that the battle just now could not be called a battle, it was completely a one-sided slaughter, but on the contrary, the object of today's slaughter was himself. Since Du Du came to the news, as well as yesterday's battle of Dingzhou Bridge, Duoduo also knew that Wang Doubu was very strong, but he didn't expect it to be so strong.
Their firecrackers are really very powerful, and the archers in their banners are not their opponents at all, and they are simply standing and being beaten. ”
While sighing, he also thought in his heart about how he should treat Wang Dou when he returned to Xuanfu after this battle.
On the right flank of the military formation, Hu Dawei, the chief officer of Shanxi Town, also exhaled slowly. angry, sighed: "What a brave Wang Dou, Lao Yang is blessed." ”
In the Chinese army, everyone was either stunned or full of incredulity, and Wang Pu, the chief military officer of Datong Town, couldn't stop inhaling. Lu Xiangsheng stood on the Yuan Rong car, he saw everything in his eyes just now, his eyes contained tears, and he looked up to the sky and sighed: "The three armies of the brave crown, the three armies of the brave crown, there is Wang Dou, I am blessed by the Ming Dynasty!" ”
His face sank, the Qing soldiers in front of him were routing like a tide, Lu Xiangsheng naturally would not let go of a good opportunity, he shouted: "Pass my general's order, the two wings and all the cavalry of the Chinese army, pursue!" ”
On the 10th day of November in the 11th year of Chongzhen, the army with a white flag was defeated, and Duo Yi led the rest of the troops to flee back to the camp, and they did not dare to go out of the camp. Before dawn on the second day, he led the army to quietly leave Dingzhou, and the whole division went to Gaoyang. Most of the baggage in the army, as well as the plundered people's wealth, were all abandoned.
After Duoduo arrived in Gaoyang, seeing his younger brother's embarrassed appearance, Dolgon was taken aback, after understanding the battle situation in Dingzhou, he first jumped like thunder, whipped Duo Yi for a while, and listened to his crying, after understanding the cause and effect of the battle, Dolgon pondered for a long time: "Rao Yu Baylor is right, when you meet the Ming King Doubu in the future, don't confront them head-on, you need to be like my knight's director." On the 11th, hearing that Lu Xiangsheng was leading a large army, Dolgon took the initiative to lead the army and left Gaoyang City.
On the twelfth, a horse galloped into the Yongding Gate of the Beijing Division, and along the way, the knight waved a good news in his hand, and shouted hoarsely: "Great victory, great victory, Lu Shangshu Dingzhou great victory, more than 1,790 slaves and thieves......"
He rushed all the way, and immediately caused a sensation in the whole city, and the good news was sent from the inner city to the imperial city, and then to the palace city. When the eunuch Wang Dehua cheered and sent Jiewen to him, Emperor Tangzhen's hands trembled, and he felt that this thin piece of paper was as heavy as a thousand and he could hardly grasp it.
