"Warriors of the Qing Dynasty, rush me!"
As soon as He Luohui saw that the two sides were caught in hand-to-hand combat, his face suddenly showed joy, firearms may not be able to bombard them, but the Qing army has never been afraid of hand-to-hand combat.
The cowardly Han people are not opponents at all, more and more Qing soldiers poured up, hand-to-hand combat, and the two sides fell into a bloody battle, even to the point of fighting for their lives, and An's tenacity was also beyond imagination.
A soldier was stabbed in the weakness, he did not flinch, but swung the knife in his hand violently, slashed the neck of the Qing soldier, and the two of them rolled on the ground and died together.
Slashing with knives, hands and feet, and even with teeth, fighting and scuffling together, everyone seemed to have turned into beasts, and their eyes were red with blood. Use all your means to destroy the enemy in front of you.
Gu Zhenhua personally supervised the battle, and he also admired these brave soldiers very much, and Zhou Yuji was indeed worthy of his reputation for being able to train such a warrior.
However, Gu Zhenhua also saw the problem, these people still stayed at the level of fighting alone, each of them relied on their skillful martial arts to catch and fight with the Qing soldiers, and there was not much close cooperation between each other, and they could not form a joint force. At present, we are still taking advantage of the situation, and when we have the opportunity to recruit new soldiers, we must retrain and truly build a strong army.
As the battle continued, the Qing army passed the safety of the army in terms of body, equipment, and experience, and gradually more and more soldiers of the army fell, and the entire front was also in danger.
Gu Zhenhua shook his head, the idea of military reform was put aside, and the most important thing was to get through the hurdle in front of him.
Suddenly, a Niu Lu Zhangjing took a few elite white-armored soldiers and horse-armored soldiers to form an arrow, and they slashed and killed five or six An ** one after another, drilling a gap in the battle formation, and were moving fast.
Gu Zhenhua happened to see this scene, the long knife in his hand pointed at it, and shouted: "Kill!" ”
He personally led his guards to rush up. The Qing soldiers almost grew up from childhood to adulthood, and they climbed out of the flames of war, and their experience and discipline were better than An **. Beside that Zhang Jing, there were two vest soldiers waving their shields, whirring in the wind, and the water could not splash in, blocking all the spears from the outside.
Zhang Jing was relieved to boldly rush and kill, and slashed and killed two or three soldiers one after another. At this time, Gu Zhenhua happened to rush over. He saw an opportunity, and his long knife slashed at the vest soldier on his left. In a panic, the vest soldier could only raise his shield to meet him.
Gu Zhenhua's strength was so amazing, with a slash, the shield was shattered in half, and the vest was also cut down. The originally airtight arrow finally had a loophole, and Gu Zhenhua's long knife swung again, slashing at Zhang Jing's neck.
This guy is not a vegetarian either, and hurriedly swung his knife to meet it, and the blade slammed, and this guy took two steps back. And Gu Zhenhua did not retreat but advanced, and it was another ruthless knife.
Zhang Jing was also frightened, his color changed greatly, he had never encountered the powerful Ming army here, and in the panic, he wanted to dodge. But one of the pikemen next to him saw the opportunity and stabbed him in the thigh.
Suddenly blood flowed, Zhang Jing screamed in pain, and fell to the ground, Gu Zhenhua caught up with him in one step, and the head was cut off.
After killing this guy, Gu Zhenhua did not stop, and rushed towards the other Qing soldiers. When the rest of the Qing soldiers saw Gu Zhenhua so brave, they were all frightened and couldn't help but retreat.
But Gu Zhenhua was not polite, the war knife in his hand danced, and he cut down three white-armored soldiers one after another, killing the Qing soldiers and retreating step by step.
"Ann **, kill!"
Seeing that Gu Zhenhua was so powerful, the soldier's momentum also swelled, and everyone held back their strength and shouted together with Gu Zhenhua.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
The neat trumpets on the battlefield are a great encouragement to the soldiers, reminding them that you are not alone, and that there are countless brothers by your side who are fighting with you in bloody battles!
Man is a social animal, and with a neat roar, everyone's panic has greatly diminished, and the whole front has stabilized again.
And at this time, Xie Bin and Zhou Yingjie also straightened out the firecrackers, and these firecrackers rushed up again. They started from both ends of the phalanx, and a dense volley of guns fired red-hot projectiles.
The Qing soldiers were like an arrow as a whole at this time, the most elite soldiers were fighting with Gu Zhenhua, and the two sides were the weakest, the soldiers almost had no armor, and occasionally they were just leather armor, and they couldn't carry lead bullets at all.
In three shots, more than 200 soldiers fell to the ground in an instant, and they were all beaten to a bloody blur, and their corpses flew sideways. At this time, the elite shooters originally selected by Xie Bin all poured up from the gap in the battle formation, and the black muzzle of the gun was aimed at the Qing soldiers, because the distance was only ten or twenty steps, the accuracy was quite amazing. The elite white armor and vest of the Manchu Qing Dynasty kept falling to the ground, and officers such as Bashiku died even more heavily.
With the addition of the firecrackers, Gu Zhenhua's position was more stable, and the Qing soldiers had to retreat in great strides, and the balance of war was tilted in favor of Gu Zhenhua.
However, the Qing soldiers were clearly not reconciled, and their archers also opened their bows and arrows, all aiming at the hateful firecrackers. Guns were constantly falling to the ground, their bodies full of bows and arrows.
"Sword and shield soldier cover!"
Gu Zhenhua also hurriedly gave an order, and the sword and shield soldiers rushed out, formed a line, and used the shield in their hands to cover the fire gunner, while the fire gunner was shooting at the Qing soldiers.
These firecrackers have also learned to be obedient, as long as they are hit by lead shots, no matter where they are, most of them will die, even if they do not die for the time being, the trouble for the wounded soldiers is even greater. Therefore, they did not need to aim, they shot with their heads out, and then quickly hid behind their shields, and the casualty rate was greatly reduced.
And those Qing archers who did not have a cover can be beaten, basically ten archers, in exchange for three firecrackers. This exchange ratio is really cruel, considering that the training cost of a good archer is several times that of a firecracker.
How many families did the Manchus have, which could withstand such consumption. A robber is a robber after all, no matter how good the discipline is, no matter how fierce he is not afraid of death. In their hearts, there is also a scale, that is, whether the loot is worth it, and when their current costs and benefits are disproportionate, these people will waver.
Just like on the grassland, the wolves always choose the weakest prey to attack, the casualties of the Qing army are getting bigger and bigger, and the corpses on the ground are piling up like mountains, and finally they begin to retreat.
"Ann, forward!"
Gu Zhenhua keenly grasped the changes in the Qing soldiers, and decisively gave an order, Li Xu and Guo Yunlong commanded the cavalry and killed from both wings, and Sun Cheng 6 Yong They also led the soldiers to press.
In the vast wilderness, An**'s soldiers rushed over all over the mountains, everyone holding their weapons high and their fighting spirits high. Compared with An**, the Qing army was a little miserable at this time, the elite suffered heavy losses, and the remaining men and horses frequently retreated.
He Luohui commanded in the back, his face also changed again and again, he never thought that he was obviously a remnant army, how could he have such combat effectiveness, and he defeated the warriors of the Qing Dynasty in the field, even when the Ming Dynasty was still there, this kind of battle was almost none!
But in any case, he lost this battle.
"Where's Wu Sangui?"
He Luohui planned to retreat, but when he turned around suddenly, he couldn't find any trace of Wu Sangui, and he was immediately angry.
"Master, King Pingxi was still fighting with the cavalry on both wings just now, and he didn't know where to run in a blink of an eye!"
"Hmph, I won't let him go. Remove! ”
He Luohui reluctantly gave an order, but just as he turned his horse's head and wanted to escape, a cavalry suddenly rushed out from the side, and an arrow hit He Luohui's horse's leg, and the war horse fell to the ground, throwing He Luohui down heavily, and this guy almost lost his breath.
It was Hou Sanhuai who shot the arrow, and when he saw that He Luohui fell to the ground, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly rushed up with someone and killed He Luohui's own soldiers.
They were entangled, and Yue Poyu led a team of cavalry to break through the barrier of the Guanning army and kill them. Seeing that there was a big fish here, Yue Poyu was also very happy, and cut down two Qing soldiers one after another, and surrounded He Luohui with his subordinates.
At the same time, Guo Yunlong also led the men and horses to chase after Wu Sangui. The big traitor didn't expect him to fall into this step, so he could only run wildly with his head down, but he ran less than five miles away, and suddenly a big river blocked the way in front of him......
The battle was finally over, the soldiers were still harvesting the scattered cavalry, there were Manchu Qing and Guan Ning troops, the sun was setting, the sunset was ruddy, and it couldn't withstand the blood on the battlefield, and everyone who had just won the victory was also gathered together.
Li Jibo rushed over with Xia Shouli, Xia Shouli is the "big prawn" in the horse farm, don't look at this guy's appearance, but he manages the horse warehouse all the year round, has strong arithmetic skills, and is capable.
"Lord Gu, the villain roughly estimated, we killed more than 1,100 Qing troops, killed more than 800 Guan Ning troops, and more than 300 prisoners, which is definitely a rare victory, congratulations!"
Gu Zhenhua didn't have much joy, but frowned and asked, "How about our casualties?" ”
The color on Xia Shouli's face was not good: "Sir, one hundred and eighty firecrackers were killed, two hundred and forty infantry were killed, and more than one hundred were wounded, and more than three hundred people were killed in the battle between the cavalry and Wu Sangui." ”
According to a rough estimate, An**'s casualties are also close to one thousand, and Gu Zhenhua's heart is also dripping blood, this is his starting army, and his combat effectiveness has weakened by at least thirty percent all of a sudden.
And Gu Zhenhua was also secretly glad that if he couldn't withstand it, once he was defeated, he would be completely busy in vain. Thinking of this, Gu Zhenhua's teeth clenched.
"Pass my order to cut off the heads of all the Qing troops, and the Guan Ning army is no exception, and build me two Jingguan. One is written below the fate of the Tartars, and the other is written on the traitor! ”
As soon as they heard Jingguan, everyone present was also shocked, this thing is only available in history books!
Li Jibo couldn't help but say, "I'm afraid this hurts the peace of the heavens, right?" ”
"Mr. Li, the country is in danger, otherwise, it can't show the iron backbone of An** to protect the family and defend the country, this Jingguan must be built!"
