Chapter 675 has been aimed at the muzzle
However, the inertia of the cavalry charging formation was also quite huge, and this charging formation also broke a lot of spears in the Runing army's gun formation, and many soldiers of the Runing army were also shocked to vomit blood, and the formation was also loosened. And at this time, the Qing cavalry of the third row rushed again.
The impact that followed made the phalanx even looser. If it weren't for the fact that the soldiers of Runing were lined up quite closely, they might have been hit like a snowball. But even so, most of the soldiers in the first few rows still collapsed on the back rows with blood flowing from their mouths and noses. Many of them had broken arms and ribs, and some had suffered severe internal injuries, so the guns in front of the Runing military formation could no longer remain intact.
And the cavalry of the Qing army will not let go of such an opportunity. They stepped up their collision in the place where the guns had been lost, and with a few "hiss, hiss" sounds, the phalanx was suddenly knocked out of several gaps, while other Qing cavalry rushed into these gaps, trying to completely tear these gaps apart, and to break up the phalanx.
Cheng Niu held an axe and a gun, staring intently at the rush of a Qing soldier on the left. Watch as the high-speed horse knocks a comrade into the air. Seeing this opportunity, Cheng Niu stepped forward with an arrow and slashed the axe and gun on the back of the Qing soldier.
In the midst of the screams, the Qing soldier slumped on his horse, and it was obvious that his backbone had been cut off. But before Cheng Niu could cheer, another Qing army rushed over, and he swept towards Cheng Niu.
Cheng Niu hurriedly put up the axe and gun, trying to block the knife, but the strong impact force suddenly made the axe gun get out of his hand, and Cheng Niu also flew out of the back. Flying in mid-air, Cheng Niu's afterglow saw that the Qing army had been pierced by several spears around him and stood upright on horseback.
A few big hands caught Cheng Niu flying in the air, and then put him down carefully.
"How? You okay? Someone next to him asked with concern
When Cheng Niu saw it, it turned out that it was his company deputy and more than a dozen comrades-in-arms who saved him. So he coughed a few times and replied, "It's all right! Xiexie Sun Lian and brethren! ”
"Then you go to the back first!" After Deputy Sun Lian finished speaking, he waved his axe and spear, and stepped forward with his soldiers to plug the gap.
At this time, Cheng Niu no longer had a long weapon in his hand, and he was indeed unable to fight on the front line, so he pulled out his waist knife and retreated to the back of the array. After walking a few steps, Cheng Niu suddenly felt unbearable hunger in his belly, and he suddenly remembered that there were still two meat buns in his arms, so he carefully took them out. I brushed aside the wrapped oil paper and took a bite on the meat bun.
But after chewing a few bites, Cheng Niu found that there was no saliva in his mouth at all, and the more he chewed, the drier it became, and it was difficult to swallow. Zuihou choked and coughed heavily. The meat buns in his mouth were all spit out, and at this time, Cheng Niu felt thirsty and unbearable.......
As soon as Mazari saw that the Ming army in front of him in the middle was rushed through several gaps. He was so happy that he almost somersaulted on horseback. This time, the charge. It was by sacrificing his own troops to delay time, but under his own careful dispatch and command, he took advantage of the blind spots of the Ming army on the opposite side to minimize the power of the opponent's firearms.
Moreover, the phalanx of the Ming army on the opposite side has also reached the verge of collapse, as long as it adds strength, the tide of the battle may be reversed. Isn't that a bonus? Mazari couldn't help but feel a little proud.
But what happened next made Mazari dumbfounded. Although it looked like this phalanx was about to collapse, those Ming troops just didn't collapse, and that phalanx was like a monster that devoured people. A cavalry Qing army rushed in, but disappeared into the jungle of guns and axes in a blink of an eye.
And the healing ability of this "monster" is quite amazing, the gap is getting smaller and smaller, and it is gradually bridging together, and it even blooms in front of the battle "Death Spear Flower", which makes the rest of the Qing army dare not rush into battle again.
What's even worse is that with the arrival of reinforcements from the rear and the west, round after round of volleys continued to knock the Qing army off their horses, seeing that this phalanx had turned the corner.
"Hurry up and mingle! Let them come back and form a team! Mazari reluctantly ordered. The horses of the Qing army in front of them had no speed, and if they rushed into the formation again, they could not rely on kinetic energy to break through the formation, and they collided with the guns and were killed in vain, so they could only retreat first.
With the sound of Mingjin, Mazari was extremely annoyed in his heart: "If your own troops are not transferred to Tan Tu, and continue to make persistent efforts to charge the battle, your troops will definitely be able to collapse this phalanx." ”
But after thinking about it, Mazari couldn't help but have a wry smile on his face. 2,000 cavalry, to charge the phalanx composed of 1,000 infantry, and even feel that the strength is not enough, this is simply a shame for the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry!
"Guan Xin eats grass? Why wasn't his artillery squadron ready? ”
Mazari was annoyed, and Hefei was furious. According to the original Jihua, once the Qing army was repulsed, it should now be the artillery front cluster bombardment, but the new artillery association has just returned, and it is not ready for a surprise attack at all, so He Fei can only watch the cavalry of the Qing army retreat safely.
In this charge, the Qing army lost more than 300 cavalry, and the soldiers of the Runing army suffered nearly 400 casualties.
If the artillery burst forward and the cluster bombardment followed, and then the cavalry covered the killing, He Fei was confident that at least more than 1,000 cavalry of the Qing army would be left, but now that the cooked ducks had flown away, why didn't He Fei get angry?
And the pro-soldiers who gave the order also knew that He Fei was in a hurry, and it was impossible for the artillery association to pull back in such a short period of time, and be ready to rush forward and bombard the cluster again. But seeing that He Fei was furious, he could only say nothing, stand up and bear He Fei's anger.
"Go quickly, and tell the Commander again, next time if he is not ready! Then you're welcome. In fact, in his heart, He Fei also knew that he was a little strong, but his pressure was really too great.
"Herald! The two regiments in front scattered in formation and quickly ran to the rear two regiments and lined up. After the formation was completed, the whole army moved forward again. He Fei then ordered.
Seeing that the Qing army was in the whole team, He Fei had to change the positions of the front and rear regiments in the middle and west sides, after all, the front two regiments had already had battles, and there were a lot of casualties and physical exertion, so He Fei had to be transferred to the new force.
"Huh?" One of Mazari's own soldiers suddenly called out strangely, "Look, Lord Sakure! ”
Mazari, who was commanding the whole team, immediately looked in the direction of the Runing army, only to see that the two phalanxes in front of the Ming army on the opposite side suddenly dispersed in formation in the sound of trumpets and drums, and all the Ming soldiers ran towards the rear. This immediately blanked Mazari's mind. I didn't break up the Ming army formation on the opposite side with all my hard work, but now they have scattered the formation by themselves, what is going on?
Dolgon, who was watching the battle in the rear, also saw this change in the Runing army, and he and the surrounding Qing army generals and personal soldiers also straightened their waists on the horse, and with incredible eyes, they watched the two phalanxes in front of the Runing army collapse on their own.
Except for the medical soldiers who treated and supported the wounded, all the scattered Runing soldiers ran towards the rear quickly.
The commanders of the two regiments were the first to run to their positions, and they were followed closely by the flag bearers of the two regiments. The two regiment commanders were stationed with axes and guns, and shouted loudly: "The whole regiment is in formation!" “
So with this regimental commander as the benchmark, the first column of soldiers aligned with him on the left side of this regimental commander, and then the following ranks lined up in this first column, and quickly formed a phalanx.
This made Dolgon and Mazari who were watching almost drop their eyes. For the army of this era, once the troops dispersed, they could only go to a safe area dozens of miles away to retract, because there was no way to complete the formation in a short time. Therefore, on the battlefield, no army will take the initiative to disperse the formation. Unexpectedly, the Ming army on the opposite side not only dared to disperse, but also quickly lined up, which made a chill rise on Dolgon's back.
"Use soldiers to be able to gather and disperse!" Dolgon couldn't help but think of this famous military saying that the Han staff in the palace had said. In this way, the army that can be arrayed in a short period of time, even if it is defeated, can be quickly gathered, it is like a kraft candy can be stalked, and it is the opponent that all generals are most reluctant to encounter.
But Dolgon looked at it in a blink of an eye, and saw that the Qing generals around him were also solemn, so he immediately looked up to the sky and said, "Hahaha-!" , defeat such an opponent to taste! ”
With Dolgon's laughter, the generals of the Qing army also accompanied Daxiao.
Wu Shigong didn't know that the most conventional scattered formation and rapid formation of his Runing army often trained caused Dolgon to chill their hearts. If he knew, he might have kidnapped Zhang Yimou when he crossed back then, and now he would use the Runing Army to perform the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games for the Qing army, maybe Dolgon and them would be scared.
Just as Dorgon was using his words to boost the morale of his surroundings, he finally waited for the first good news since today's battle. The pro-soldiers who went to supervise the Qing army's artillery team excitedly flew to report: "Lord Wang! The general's artillery mount is ready! The general's artillery mount is ready! ”
Dorgon was overjoyed at once, and he immediately ordered: "Hurry up and tell Mazari to stop, there is no need to charge again." Get the whole army ready! Pass on the king's order, and the general cannon will shoot immediately! ”
The heralds around them galloped away, and the Qing army no longer needed to maintain any skirmish lines at this time, and all the cavalry also gathered into cavalry groups, and these cavalry groups also slowly advanced in front of the formation.
At this time, the Runing Army, which had finished lining up again, was marching forward to the rhythm of drums. They didn't know that the guns of the Qing army were already aimed at them. (To be continued......)
