Chapter 498: Bloody Battle of Xiangyang Mansion (5)

Wu Sangui led 19,000 elite troops, including the Mongolian Eight Banners, the Ming Eight Banners, the Manchu Eight Banners, and his descendant Guanning Army, whose combat effectiveness was much stronger than that of the Ming Army, and rushed towards the Ming artillery position under his leadership.

Because it was dark, the raiding troops of the Ming army and the Qing army moved in the darkness almost at the same time.

After Wu Sangui left, Bolo suddenly received an urgent military order from the Azig heralds, and the main force of the Great Western Army of Wudang Mountain was defeated.

There was a remnant of the Great Western Army that broke through to De'an Mansion, and ordered it to annihilate the remnants of the Great Western Army that broke through from Wudang Mountain.

Bolo asked the herald how many people were in the remnants of the Onishi Army?

The herald told him that there were only more than 2,000 people in the Great Western Army that broke through in his direction, and after Bolo heard this, he smiled and mobilized 5,000 soldiers and horses from the barracks to destroy the remnants of the Great Western Army.

He sat in the barracks, waiting for Wu Sangui's triumph tomorrow.

The Qing army camp and the Ming army camp are only ten miles away, Wu Sangui led his troops to the front of the Ming army camp, and the soldiers and horses of each department took a short rest and recuperated after recuperating enough energy, and launched an attack from the southwest, targeting the artillery position of Huang Degong's department.

After all, those two hundred generals are not a joke, and firing artillery at the same time can inflict a devastating blow on the Qing army.

Nearly 20,000 Qing troops launched a surprise attack, the scale was very scary, and the Ming army scouts and sentries on the road were so frightened that they ran back.

At this moment, Wu Sangui did not launch a surprise attack, but attacked the artillery position of the Ming army.

Even if the Ming army laid an ambush in the artillery position, Wu Sangui had absolute confidence to defeat the Ming army, because his troops gathered the elite division under Bo Luo, pulled out the Ming army's artillery tonight, and launched an attack tomorrow to quickly destroy the Ming army.

The Qing army flocked to the artillery position of the Ming army like a tide, and 20,000 soldiers of the Huang Degong Division, 6,000 soldiers of the Jinsheng Division, and thousands of soldiers and horses of the Lingjingyang Division, under the unified command, stood up in unison, and fired at the Qing army with bows and arrows and firearms.

Before the Qing army could rush over, a large number of people were shot, and Wu Sangui was not heartbroken and commanded the troops to continue the attack.

The Qing army in the back continued to rush with a shield, and the Qing army's quality was still stronger than that of the Ming army, and after hundreds of casualties, it finally entered the Ming artillery position.

The traps laid by the Ming army in the artillery position all played a role, causing great damage to the Qing army, and Wu Sangui realized that the Ming army was on guard, but the arrow was ready to be fired.

He let the heralds roam around the battlefield, and the departments were not allowed to retreat, and continued to attack the Ming army.

The Qing army launched a ruthless attack, with superior strength, and broke through the trap of the Ming army and rushed to the artillery of the Ming army.

Wu Sangui looked down on the Ming army, he thought that he would gather the elite of the Qing army and break through the Ming army's position in one fell swoop, judging from the results of the battle, the Ming army did not seem to be a soft persimmon, and the Qing army attacked wave after wave, and the Ming army was pushed back.

He continued to dispatch troops, the offensive did not decrease, but the Qing army as the offensive side, the Ming army as the defender, the battle was not equal, the Qing army's casualties increased sharply, Wu Sangui could not attack, let the generals go back and Bo Luo for instructions, the Ming army tonight to do a good job of defense, continue to attack casualties will be greater, ask to withdraw.

The generals immediately rushed back, but before they arrived at the barracks, Ling Jingyang had already led the troops to attack the Qing army barracks.

Bolo would never have thought that the timid Ming army in his impression would dare to sneak attack, and the general would run from outside the door to report to him, the Ming army raided, Bolo smiled.

The Ming army came to send him to death, and he personally led his own soldiers to supervise the battle to see how the Manchu Jian'er killed the Ming dog in anger?

He led a group of generals to the gate of the barracks, which was the camp of the Chinese army, and the other barracks were built on this barracks.

Ling Jingyang personally led the rifle platoon, and the troops directly under him launched a strong attack from the front, and the combat effectiveness of the Qing army was very strong, but the strongest group of Qing troops followed Wu Sangui to sneak attack the Ming army, and there was no gap between the Qing army and the Ming army in the combat effectiveness of the remaining barracks.

Ling Jingyang let the troops directly under him charge in front, and the soldiers and horses of the other departments attacked from both sides, and where the Qing army resisted strongly, he took rifles and lined up to release their guns.

As long as it was a stalemate with the Ming army, it was fired with 50 rifles, which were fast and powerful, and the Qing army was heavily wounded.

The Ming army broke through five military camps in one go and entered the sixth military camp, where it was resisted by the Qing army.

In this barracks, Bolo assembled

The main force dragged the Ming army, and then mobilized superior forces to besiege the Ming army, in an attempt to eat the Ming army's sneak attack troops.

Ling Jingyang was very happy to see the Qing army gathering here, and ordered the troops to slow down the pace of the attack, and the rifle platoon put down the rifles, each dragging the grenade bullet in his hand, waiting for the Qing army to come over, and give the Qing army a grenade feast.

A group of soldiers and horses approached in the direction of Ling Jingyang, and Ling Jingyang saw that there were more and more Qing troops, so he quickly picked up a grenade bullet and said to the soldiers in the rifle platoon: "Everyone, learn from me to throw it out." ”

He pulled the grenade ring, counted three times silently, and then threw it towards the Qing army, and the soldiers followed his example, pulled the grenade ring, and then threw it forward as best they could.

Fifty grenade shells flew in a group in the direction of the Qing army.

The first round of grenade shells fell, and the Qing army fell in pieces, and the second round of grenade bombs flew, this time smashing on the heads of the Qing troops farther away, and a large group of Qing troops were instantly put down.

The nearby Qing army was scared stupid, what is this, why is it so powerful, without waiting for the Qing army to react, Ling Jingyang led the rifle platoon to throw over a bunch of grenade shells again, this time the Qing army completely collapsed, did not dare to fight with the Ming army, and ran to the back.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, in fact, hundreds of grenade shells only killed and injured more than 1,000 Qing soldiers, but the panic caused to the Qing army is stronger than a hundred red-coated cannons.

The Qing army retreated in great strides, and the Ming army vigorously pursued behind, and the Qing army was killed all over the field by the Ming army.

Bolo was also shocked by the sight, how could this Ming army have such weapons, as if the kind of iron bump used by Fusang who came to Daishan from outside the pass, Bolo decided to withdraw temporarily, wait for the regrouping of troops, and then counterattack the Ming army.

He ordered all the troops and horses to retreat to Wudang Mountain, the Qing army heard the retreat order, took a step to retreat, Bolo did not forget Wu Sangui, let the general go to Wu Sangui to convey the military order, let him go to Wudang Mountain to meet.

Bolo was never worried that the Ming army would be annihilated, he led the troops to retreat towards Wudang Mountain, Ling Jingyang did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, and ordered the troops to pursue the Qing army within a radius of two kilometers, so as not to be lost by the Qing army's counter-ambush.

The Ming army frantically pursued the Qing army within a range of two kilometers, and there were also a few Ming troops who had a good time, forgetting to listen to Jingyang's military order, chasing them out of the distance, being besieged by the regrouped Qing army, and cutting off their heads.
