Chapter 346: The Last Glory
Fortunately, the speed of the Ming army's advance was not fast, and Azig retreated calmly.
This section of the river is very wide, but fortunately, the pontoon bridge is not too narrow, and after the Qing army was cut off from Mandahai, it slowly retreated to the north of the Hunhe River.
Mandahai is the grandson of Nurhachi, the seventh son of Prince Lilie Daishan. Man Dahai has participated in the entry of the customs three times, has defeated Hong Chengchou, defeated Wu Sangui, and chased Li Zicheng to Huguang, just such an outstanding and invincible Qing imperial family has now started to do the trick of breaking off, I have to say that it is very ironic.
Very sad and angry, in addition to grief and indignation, Man Dahai was very unwilling.
The harassing Ming army behind him had been driven away, and without the interference of these fleas, Azig had no problem retreating to Shenyang City. And Man Dahai decided, can not lose their pride, the pride of the Jianzhou warriors has been stripped of the essence, Man Dahai wants to use his bravery to prove that the people of Jianzhou have never lacked the courage to fight, the Ming army is nothing, even if he dies, he must choose to die bravely.
On the south side of Shenyang City are two city gates, the west is the Tianyou Gate and the east is the Desheng Gate, and Azig certainly would not take the Desheng Gate in this case, which is too ironic. When the army led by Azig was about to enter the city, he found that Mandahai had not followed.
Looking at the Qing army from afar, which had no intention of withdrawing into the city, Azig sadly stopped his war horse, and Mandahai did not follow, nor did he destroy the pontoon bridge as instructed. In fact, it makes no difference whether to destroy or not, the Ming army is already under the city of Shenyang, and the destruction of the pontoon bridge is just to delay the time of the Ming army in the south, and the siege of Shenyang by the Ming army is irreversible.
"Lord Wang, Mingjin!" One of the generals beside him hurriedly reminded Azig:
After a short silence, Azig closed his eyes: "Leave me the glory of the Qing Dynasty!" Maybe it's a good choice."
The words are very sad, but it is an indisputable fact, the Qing Dynasty has sunset, Mandahai is maintaining the dignity of the Qing warriors, and Shenyang is just Zuihou's struggle. Perhaps it is a relief to let the Qing Dynasty Iron Rider, who once crisscrossed the Central Plains and the desert grassland, leave his own glory of Zuihou.
All the cavalry led by Man Dahai was a full 10,000 cavalry, which happened to be the invincible Manchu boasted by the people of Jianzhou.
The speed at which the Ming army crossed the river was very fast, and as the cavalry crossed the river first, groups of infantry soldiers began to cross the river in a step-by-step manner.
"I lost!" Zhou Huchen was very simple: "After entering Shenyang, I will treat you, but the glory of these Qing warriors must be left to them, Wu Yun listens to the order!" ”
Except for the order, the rest was all light nonsense, but the nonsense was so pleasant that all the generals smiled.
Wu Yun stepped forward: "The end will be!" "Be decisive. This is the prelude to the battle, and Wu Yun is excited beyond words.
"Ben Shuai ordered you to use the inverted word array to solve these Jiannu, act immediately!"
"Yes!"
The inverted character array is the name given by Zhou Huchen, which is an infantry phalanx composed of three huge phalanxes, which is very thick and heavy, and belongs to a variety of firearms to cooperate with the battle. That is to say, in addition to using cavalry to cover the two wings, Zhou Huchen had to use infantry to solve Jiannu's cavalry, rather than cavalry against cavalry. This way of fighting is very bold. Because the mobility of the cavalry is not comparable to the infantry phalanx, but at the same time, it is also a kind of confidence, Zhou Huchen is confident that he can solve the cavalry of Jiannu with foot soldiers.
Times are changing. Combat styles are also changing.
The drums fluttered in the wilderness, and the Ming army moved.
Man Dahai calmly watched as the Ming army lined up an offensive line that he had never seen before, with a huge phalanx on each side, and the cavalry slowly followed on the flanks of the phalanx. And the phalanx in the center is slightly back.
The sky became darker, the wind was getting stronger and stronger, and Mandahai could even hear the sound of the Ming army's battle flags hunting.
The inverted word array is very thick. It is full of coercion, and all of it is coercion, and this powerful coercion makes Man Dahai almost unable to breathe.
"The left flank of the enemy~" Man Dahai drew his sword.
A frontal attack is equivalent to death, once the front of the Ming army is attacked, it will obviously be formed by the Ming army on both sides, no matter how fast the cavalry is, it can't escape this kind of pinching, Man Dahai doesn't want to die too fast, his goal is to make the Ming army pay the price it deserves, therefore, he chose the left flank of the Ming army with the flattest terrain.
The sound of drums and horses' hooves was mixed together, and Mandahai could not wait, and once it rained, it would fall into a way of warfare that the cavalry was most unwilling to fight.
Man Dahai was the first to rush out, and soon the sound of cannon fire pierced the sky.
There is no other way than to bow his head and approach, Man Dahai knows the Ming army's combat method, approaching, and constantly approaching to have a chance.
The brave Jianzhou cavalry galloped, although it had been very separated, but the explosion of the projectile still continued to lift these brave knights off their horses, a shrapnel whistling, flying past Mandahai, a personal entourage beside Mandahai was hit, and the brave cavalry disappeared from the horse in an instant
As the distance got closer, the sound of the artillery suddenly stopped.
In front of him is a Great Wall composed of shields, Mandahai Xiangyou slightly mentioned the war horse, direct impact of this thick phalanx is equivalent to direct death, what Mandahai needs is a breakthrough, an oblique breakthrough.
The terrifying sound of the drum made the fire bolt fire in an instant, Man Dahai leaned over his horse tightly, he heard the sharp roar of the projectile, and at this moment, his left arm was hit, Man Dahai could feel his thick armor pieces flying, and then the feeling of pain came
Approaching, keeping approaching, Man Dahai could already see clearly the Ming army's attire and the indifferent eyes.
It was so easy to fall off his horse in the endless sound of fire, and Man Dahai suddenly felt a heavy shock to his head, and then Man Dahai felt himself float
The wind was still very strong, the smoke disappeared instantly, there was no battlefield fog, the soldiers of the Ming army kept shooting, and the loaders behind calmly handed over the loaded haode firearms. All the soldiers were expressionless, as if they were going through a regular training session, and this training was so calm that you could even feel a kind of relaxation.
Unable to get close, the barrage is like a kind of harvest.
The fall of Man Dahai did not affect the impact of the Qing army in the slightest, and a Qing cavalry in front felt helpless, he did not gallop in Xiangyou, but rushed straight up.
Although the horse was wounded, this lucky Qing cavalry was not shot down, and the huge iron wall was in front of him, and he decisively mentioned the war horse. The huge war horse rushed into this barrier with the sound of the wind, and also smashed a small gap in the Ming army's array.
Not long after the war horse pounced into the Ming army's array, this small gap miraculously recovered, and the soldiers of the Ming army filled it, and the tight array was as if nothing had happened.
There are casualties in war, and the casualties brought by a war horse have no effect on the Ming army, the sound of fire is still the same, and the whistling projectiles are still endless. Discipline is confidence, and it is also an essential quality of a strong army, and the tried and tested soldiers turned a blind eye to the deadly onslaught of the Qing army, and their job was to maintain formation and then let the projectiles send death to the enemy.
The cavalry is the king of speed, and the cavalry of Mandahai disappears with great speed, and to put it more bluntly, disappears on horseback. In half an hour, many brave Qing cavalry rushed directly into the Ming army's array, but that's all, 10,000 cavalry disappeared like this, and the battlefield fell silent
The war horse that was not hit fell into the wilderness, and what was left before the Ming army array was the blood of the brave in addition to the corpse.
Under the gaze of thousands of people, a Qing cavalryman staggered to his feet among the corpses in the field, the soldier's helmet no longer knew where it went, and the thin money rat tail fluttered in the wind. The brave knight, covered in blood, did not flinch, he slowly leaned over and picked up a war knife and continued to stagger towards the Ming army's array.
"This is the glory of Zuihou!" Zhou Huchen put down the clairvoyant mirror.
A thunderbolt suddenly came from the dim sky, and a huge lightning bolt enveloped the entire battlefield with his light (to be continued......
