437 All or Nothing
The second day of the second month of February, commonly known as the Green Dragon Festival, is said to be the day when the dragon raises its head, there is "February 2, the dragon raises its head, and everyone makes small households plough cattle." Anyway, on this day, it is the beginning of a busy year for the common people, and Wu Sangui, who was ordered to reinforce Dingjun Mountain, was also very busy, because his rear army arrived.
Wu Sangui did not choose to attack immediately, but let the soldiers recuperate, and it was not until the next day that they formed a group on the slope of the cliff.
More than 3,000 cavalry plus 11,000 infantry assembled in front of the cliff slope, Wu Sangui governed the army in a good way, willing to invest in the soldiers, and took refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty and got a lot of supplies.
"Heavy Shields, forward. Xia Guoxiang roared, waved the battle flag, and the troops at the front began to move.
This is a team of troops carrying heavy shields, the shield is about four feet high, is a wooden board wrapped outside the iron system, in which the wooden board is used in two layers, this kind of shield is also called a long shield, can effectively block arrows, firearms, small pieces of rolling stones and wood can also resist, this is a sharp weapon for self-defense during the attack, Wu Sangui knew that the firearms of the Sichuan army were sharp, and he had made preparations early.
"Ho hey ho hey" "Peng Peng"
"Ho hey ho hey" "Peng Peng"
The heavy shield soldier shouted the slogan and raised the shield to move forward, while holding the back of the knife and slapping the shield hard, without hesitation to walk forward, the neat slogan and the sound of the shield slapping is like a signal, a rhythm, the well-trained thousands of heavy shield soldiers are like a person, together with the shield, together forward. The movements were neat and coordinated, and behind the heavy shieldmen were the heavy infantry and longbowmen. The heavy infantry covered the longbowmen who were constantly firing arrows, while Wu Sangui led the elite cavalry at the rear. Like a nimble viper, ready to deliver the deadliest blow to your opponent.
"Peng Peng" "Kill!" Kill! Kill! ”
"Peng Peng" "Kill!" Kill! Kill! ”
As we advanced, the slogan changed, and every time the heavy shield soldiers finished their shields, the soldiers hiding behind would shout "kill" loudly, and the sound was higher and higher, and the huge sound broke through the clouds and continued to echo in the mountains. And the fighting spirit is also boiling in the slogan, looking from afar, it is a torrent of steel casting, constantly advancing, more like a giant beast made of steel, ready to devour everything that dares to block in front, every soldier is a face of perseverance and determination, that kind of courage to go to the battlefield, let people give birth to a kind of heroism that looks at death as if it were home.
Vaguely, people feel that this is the style of the famous Liaodong Iron Army. Standing on the high part of the cliff slope, Tang Qiang seemed to suddenly see the scene of the elite Liaodong elite soldiers going out and fighting with the invading Manchu iron cavalry, thinking about the past. With the brothers who intersect with life and death go to the battlefield side by side, forgetting life and death, fighting bloodily, friendship is condensed in blood, heroic is sublimated in the flames of war, fighting together, crying together, laughing together, what a joy it is, as long as you are with your brothers, it seems that there is no hurdle in the world that cannot be overcome.
Only soldiers who have experienced that kind of life and death can understand that precious friendship, but it's a pity. Now the peach blossoms are still the same, and the face is beyond recognition. Once the strongest and most reliable barrier for the people of the Central Plains, it has now become the minions of the enemy who once fought to the death. Unconsciously, Tang Qiang's eyes were a little warm.
"General, the enemy is only fifty feet away from us." Deputy General Zhou Ting saw that Tang Qiang was a little out of the world, and reminded in a low voice.
Tang Qiang came back to his senses at this time, felt that he was a little emotional, and tilted his head to the sky, for fear that his tears would be seen by his subordinates, and when his emotions stabilized, he said coldly: "Don't scare them away, serve them a few side dishes first." ”
"Yes, General."
At the sound of an order, the soldiers of the Sichuan army, who had long been ready to attack, began to attack, and for a while, arrows, bullets, and rolling stones continued to attack the soldiers of Wu Sangui's army who were advancing below.
"Bang Bang Bang"
"Knock Knock"
"Ahh
The sound of bullets hitting heavy shields, the sound of arrows inserting into wooden shields, and the sound of being hit by rolling stones are endless, forming a battlefield symphony, seeing his soldiers injured and killed, Wu Sangui has a sneer on his lips, and there is no worry on his face.
The most powerful fire gun of the Sichuan army has a heavy shield to block, two layers of wooden planks and thick iron sheets can effectively block powerful bullets, and the heavy infantry carries a light wooden shield, lifting high can effectively block the thrown bow and arrow, the real damage to their subordinates is the wood and rolling stones, rolling down from a high place is powerful, from time to time there are soldiers hit, being stoned to death and wounded, some of the wood is also poured with fire oil, rolling down with fire, many soldiers are burned, not ordinary damage.
Wu Sangui is very indifferent, in the era of cold weapons, an excellent general has long regarded life and death as indifferent, not only to the life of his subordinates, but also to his own life and death.
With the advancement of the troops, a sneer appeared on Wu Sangui's face, as long as he advanced another twenty zhang, then the cavalry could be dispatched, and then the whole army would be charged, once the Sichuan army defense line was broken, then the head of the three thousand Sichuan army responsible for blocking it would become a prop for himself to invite merit and reward, and the trophies such as horses, armor, and firecrackers would also be enriched into his own troops. It may not be without a bright future.
Although it shows that the Zhichuan army still has grenades that have not yet been used, with five times the strength of his own troops and the iron cavalry that can fight well, there is no problem in taking this small cliff slope.
Wu Sangui has this self-confidence.
"Peng Peng" "Kill!" Kill! Kill! ”
"Peng Peng" "Kill!" Kill! Kill! ”
The sound of such a passionate battle has not stopped, but has become more and more powerful, for the advance of Wu Sangui's department, the Sichuan army does not seem to have much to do, watching the enemy continue to approach, when the distance of the second army is only thirty zhang, Wu Sangui waved his hand and shouted loudly: "Kill!" ”
Under an order, the iron cavalry under his command is like a flood of floods, the tide kills the Sichuan army on the slope of the cliff, one by one wielding a scimitar while holding the horse whip, constantly whipping the horses to rush upward, there is a "meat wall" built by the infantry with flesh and blood in front, as long as you rush in front, you can break through the defense line of the Sichuan army in a few breaths, at that time it is like a tiger into the flock, do whatever you want.
"Kill"
"Chong, slaughter all these Sichuan dogs."
Wu Sangui, Xia Guoxiang, Guo Yunlong and others rushed to the front, seeing their own commander so brave, they suddenly stimulated the fighting spirit of all the soldiers present, and rushed forward one by one with red eyes and a murderous sound, like a tiger returning to the mountain and a hungry wolf out of the cage, unstoppable for a while.
No matter what intrigues you have, you can break ten times with one force, and now there are only thirty zhang, as long as you break through these thirty zhang, then victory can be held in your hands.
Different from other road troops, Wu Sangui is the former Ming Dynasty's Liaodong general soldiers, the elite soldiers under his command are extremely elite soldiers in a hundred battles, when Chongzhen disbanded the Guanning Iron Cavalry, a part of the Guanning Iron Cavalry was added to Wu Sangui's command, at that time it was Wu Sangui's uncle Zu Dashou who was in charge of the Guanning Iron Cavalry, under his operation, Wu Sangui got naturally a strong general, which implanted a more powerful "seed" into the original force, which is also the reason why Dolgon has always been very important to Wu Sangui.
When defeating Li Zicheng, Dolgon ordered three ways to pursue and shoot down, two of which were his own brothers, and the last one was the commander of Wu Sangui, from which Wu Sangui's status can be seen.
More than 3,000 fine cavalry joined, for a time the momentum was stronger, the shouting and killing sound can be said to be overwhelming, straight into the sky, the cavalry speed was already fast, and the concentrate was fed beforehand, the horses had already stored horsepower, and they were about to keep up with the infantry in front of them in a few breaths, Wu Sangui had already calculated, using the flesh and blood of the infantry to close the distance for the cavalry, and using the impact of the cavalry to tear up the space for the infantry, and finally the two joined forces to capture the cliff slope in one fell swoop with the advantage of numbers.
Wu Sangui was full of ambition, and on the cliff slope, Tang Qiang saw Wu Sangui's department pressed on all fronts, and he was not surprised but laughed, Wu Sangui could be regarded as a go, he had already had such a plan, seeing the soldiers all over the mountains, a cruel smile appeared on his mouth, and suddenly said loudly: "Brothers, show me the guy who pressed the box, and show them how powerful my Sichuan army is." ”
Under an order, the soldiers who had been prepared for a long time began to move, a piece of silk cloth was taken away, revealing a door modified tiger squat cannon, the peculiarity of these tiger squat cannons is that the car is equipped below, which can be pushed forward, or the car can be used as a bracket to save the time of firing, in addition to the tiger squat cannon, there are people who push out a huge iron ball, this is a new weapon, which is filled with gunpowder, which can be smashed and exploded, and the power is powerful, and at this time, the Sichuan soldiers began to line up the grenades one by one in front, so that they can be thrown out in a while.
The first to strike was the big round iron ball weighing hundreds of catties, only to see that it first smashed down a few soldiers who ran fast and was blocked by the soldiers who used heavy shields, according to the previous experience, as long as it was blocked, there was no threat, but this time it was different, when these soldiers of Wu Sangui's department thought that a threat was lifted, there was a loud "boom", and the soldiers who raised the shield suddenly exploded into flesh and blood, and a huge gap appeared in the well-protected team.
Just when everyone was in shock, the soldiers of Wu Sangui's department were horrified to find that more large iron balls were rolling down quickly, and the cannons in front of the Sichuan army's position also showed their hideous faces (to be continued)
