411 [Flesh Fight]
"Toot dood!"
"Toot dood!"
Ma Wannian received the order and immediately returned with the dragoons to entangle with Yild's Manchu cavalry, because the Datong firecrackers covering the flank and rear were about to change positions.
Seeing that the dragoons were back here, Ilde was very unhappy, but he could only fight with Ma Wannian.
If Ma Wannian doesn't come back, when all the Datong firecrackers are transferred to the front row, the Manchu Xiaoqi will be able to take out heavy arrows and shoot them at close range.
There are three kinds of Manchu arrows, namely: piercing arrows, stabbing arrows, and whistle arrows.
The Phi Arrow is commonly known as the Manchu Heavy Arrow, the arrow is an inverted triangle, and the appearance is like a small shovel.
This thing is extremely powerful, and can penetrate two layers of leather armor, one layer of chain mail, and one layer of iron blades when fired at close range. Iron helmets will also be shot through, and the bamboo helmets with iron sheets of the Datong Army will also be unable to prevent it.
Moreover, even if the Manchu heavy arrow could not penetrate the armor, it could also cause a heavy blow effect, just like being hit by a bullet while wearing body armor, and the impact force alone was very uncomfortable.
The core tactics of the Manchu positional warfare were to rely on the chariot to advance, and then shoot heavy arrows at close range.
The elite family members of the Ming border generals were often shot into confusion in formation, or simply shot to collapse on the spot.
A soldier who can carry two rounds of heavy arrows is definitely a fine soldier, and a soldier who can carry three rounds belongs to a dead soldier!
Of course, the Manchu heavy arrow also had weaknesses.
That is, the arrow is too heavy to be projectile, and can only be fired flat at 30 to 50 meters.
30 meters is 20 steps, which is the world of Datong firearms.
As for the Manchu stabbing arrows, the body of the arrows was slender and light, and the arrows were also slender and sharp. The penetration of leather armor is very strong, and it is mostly used for long-range shooting, but the power is not very large, and the Datong army can completely carry it down.
At this moment, the cavalry of both sides was entangled again.
While the Manchu infantry was still advancing, the archers hid behind the chariots and fired long-range projectiles with stabbing arrows.
38 Manchu chariots had been routed, and only 59 were still moving forward, revealing a large number of Manchu infantry.
"Boom, boom!"
The artillery of the Datong army sounded again, and the artillery position was on a small mound.
Not even a mound, just a relatively uplifted flat land.
After the artillery was angled, the solid bullets passed over the heads of the Datong army, specifically aimed at the Qing infantry who were not protected by the car.
One of the shells, after killing the two people in front of him, continued to bounce and roll along the ground with huge kinetic energy, smashing the twelve calves of the Manchu infantry one after another.
"Ah, my feet!"
"My leg is broken, my leg is broken!"
In the Manchu infantry array, some of those who did not die after being shot and were not unconscious on the spot held their broken legs and howled.
Up to now, due to the destruction of the chariots, the Manchu Qing Dynasty's tactics of chariots, heavy arrows, and heavy infantry have been greatly reduced.
Because according to the fixed routine, after the cart is promoted, it has to hide behind and throw it with a stabbing arrow. Wait until you shoot the enemy in a panic before using heavy arrows to deliver a devastating blow, and if you directly let the elite archers stand out, you will become a target for the enemy's musketeers!
Duoduo was a little anxious, because after three consecutive rounds of stabbing arrows, the front of the Datong army did not waver in the slightest.
Chen Dafeng was a Zhejiang soldier, and after only one year as a peasant soldier, he was conscripted into the army. A few months ago, he was promoted to sentry commander, and now he is hiding behind the rattan with a spear in his hand.
"Hmm!"
A barbed arrow was thrown and fell from top to bottom, grazing the edge of the rattan plaque and slashing diagonally into his shoulder.
The flesh is not deep, only piercing the flesh, but it hurts a little.
Chen Dafeng heard a muffled snort from the rattan player, but he was pierced through his left foot by an arrow.
"Resist, can't move, can't move!" Chen Dafeng told him again and again, and he was also cheering himself up.
Another wave of arrows flew, and several rattan players in the front row fell.
Some of the arrows even hit the firecrackers, but the firecrackers retreated and still stopped fighting.
Purely hard to carry the projectile of the Manchu archers, an elite archer, if he does not rest, at most shoot more than ten arrows in a row.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The artillery of the Datong army was busy, and there was no need to fire a salvo in this case, whoever loaded the shell would open fire first.
The Datong Army carried bows and arrows, and the Eight Banners Army carried artillery, and the two sides were getting closer little by little.
A Manchu commander rode to Duoduo on horseback: "Your Royal Highness the Ten Kings, the stabbing arrows can't be shot, please use heavy arrows!" ”
Li Shutai also rode his horse and ran away: "Ten kings, the heavy armored battalion of the Han army flag is almost unable to hold on, and the artillery on the opposite side is really fierce!" ”
Duoduo hesitated for a few seconds and said, "Use heavy arrows to let the cavalry also go!" ”
"Woo woo woo !!!"
The horn sounded, and the Eight Banner archers, who were hiding behind the heavy infantry and the chariots, quickly rushed to the front of the formation. If they want to shoot heavy arrows, they must be exposed in this way, and they must shoot flat within 50 meters.
Moreover, 50 meters is too far, and it is best to shoot within 40 meters, so as to maximize the power of heavy arrows.
At the same time, Geng Zhongming's firecrackers also stepped forward with the archers.
Ilder heard the sound of the horn and ignored the dragoons of Ma Wannian. Divided into four groups and circled the flanks and rear of the Datong army, ready to shoot with heavy arrows when they got closer.
Zhang Tieniu's Chinese army hurriedly waved the order flag.
The forward commander received an order to divide 1,500 musketeers to change formation to deal with those Manchu cavalry.
With the expansion of the army last winter, the Datong Army slightly adjusted its troop allocation.
The wolf soldiers were abolished, the rattan players and pikemen remained, and the number of musketeers in each division was 4,000.
Until the flintlock pistol is equipped, the proportion of musketeers cannot be increased. This is the weapon that limits the width of the battlefield, and even the most elite arquebusiers must stand close to a meter apart from each other.
3,000 Manchu Xiao horses, divided into four teams, rushed to about 40 meters, all turned over and dismounted, stood on the ground and drew their bows, and shot heavy arrows one after another.
1,500 Datong fire fighters and 2,500 Datong dragoons also fired at those Manchu cavalry.
"Woooo
"Bang bang bang!"
Life for life, whoever is hit is basically dead.
Nearly 300 Datong firecrackers were shot by the heavy arrows of the Manchu cavalry. Most fell on the spot, and some fell backwards under the blow even if they were shot in non-lethal parts. The inverted triangular arrow pierced into the flesh, not only causing continuous bleeding damage, but also making it difficult to pull out the arrow after the war, and pulling it out was a piece of meat.
The Manchu cavalry was no better, being flanked by firecrackers and dragoons. Although the formation was extremely loose, it still cost two or three hundred casualties, and the two sides were almost one-to-one exchanging lives.
The Datong Army's side only suffered a slight loss, because of such a distance, the hit rate of the loose formation of the firearm shot was not high.
This kind of play cannot be beaten by the Manchus.
Because the Manchu Qing Dynasty did not have much population, the Xiao cavalry formed by Aliha Chaoha was the elite of the elite.
Zhao Han can train firecrackers in batches, but Dolgon can't recruit the Aliha Chaoha battalion in batches.
After the fire, Ilder was so frightened that he ran away with the cavalry.
Although some of these cavalrymen belonged to the Duoduo, he also had a share. If he loses a little more, his strength will be greatly reduced, and I am afraid it will take two or three years to recover.
If it weren't for the constant shelling, Dordor wouldn't want to play this way.
On the frontal battlefield, the rattan player in front of Chen Dafeng had already fallen, so he immediately picked up the rattan card and put it in front to protect the fire soldiers.
When I turned my head to look, I saw that there were more than a dozen fallen on both sides, and the heavy arrows of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were too many and ferocious.
After two consecutive rounds of heavy arrows, more than 400 rattan players and pikemen of the Datong Army have fallen.
Li Guoying, who has been following the flank of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, is furious in his heart until now. Although he was no longer attacked, he broke out in a cold sweat just by watching the battle, and this kind of fierce battle was not something that a surrendered general could withstand.
He was ready to lead his troops to charge, but found that the Datong army had not been defeated.
A herald rushed and shouted: "General Li, 100,000 orders for you to rush up immediately and outflank the enemy's right flank!" ”
"Yes...... Be! ”
Li Guoying was bold and led the whole army to speed up the side-by-side.
"Boom, boom!"
"Woohoo!"
Artillery and heavy arrows fired at each other.
The melee infantry of the Datong army fell nearly 500 people again, and many firearms were exposed.
On the Manchu side, a Han army with heavy armor was directly bombarded by artillery and fled.
"Assault of the whole army!"
"Woooooooo
Duoduo gave an order, and the Manchu infantry accelerated the charge.
Because the melee soldiers of the Datong Army are only 3,000 people, and some of them are dealing with cavalry in the back, and more than half of them have been killed and wounded in the front. Rushing out in this case will definitely be able to crush the large array of the Datong army.
Moreover, if you don't rush again, you may still be crushed by artillery or one or two troops.
The Manchu archers were throwing and flat, and the successive arrows were also weak. They still have to fight in close combat, and if their arms are weakened, their combat effectiveness will plummet.
Well, Manchu archers, also wearing heavy armor, are also melee soldiers!
Without waiting for the order of the Chinese army, Chen Fugui ordered the battalions of the firecrackers to line up beyond the defensive line of the melee soldiers.
Chen Dafeng got up from the ground, he was hit by an arrow in the shoulder, and he continued to bleed. Not only was his shoulder numb, but his entire left arm had little strength.
"The third battalion, those who are not yet dead, stand up!" Chen Dafeng held a spear in his hand, ready to step forward at any time to meet the firecrackers.
Thirty steps, twenty steps......
"Release!"
2500 firecrackers, three-stage shots.
Duoduo put down the clairvoyant mirror, and then picked it up again, and the whole person was dumbfounded.
The heavy armor of the Han army has been dispersed, some of the Eight Banners are still rushing, and some of the Eight Banners have been defeated.
The veteran traitor Li Shutai fell to the ground at the moment, his body still twitching.
Geng Zhongming's war horse was shot, lifting him to the ground and breaking his leg, limping back in pain.
"Get on the bayonet!"
"Grenadier!"
"Rattans, pikemen, all come forward!"
Chen Dafeng carried a heavy arrow and a piercing arrow on his shoulder, and led the soldiers forward with a spear in one hand.
"Boom, boom!"
The elite of the Eight Banners, who were still charging, encountered 10,000 enemies head-on. After the first explosion, more than 400 people fled again.
The grenadiers threw two bombs each, and also drew their swords and rushed forward.
Li Guoying, who was already sideways, no one paid attention to him at all. At this moment, he could immediately rush towards the Datong army, but he was really frightened by the fight now.
I heard that Emperor Zhao had a lot of such troops, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty was still a fart in the world!
Li Guoying cut off his braids in battle, raised his knife and shouted: "Han family son, kill the Tartars with me!" ”
This thing turned against him.
"Doot Dot ......"
The trumpet sounded, and all the musketeers loaded their bayonets and aimed at the charge before they could break and escape.
The rattan player threw away the rattan card and rushed forward with the pikemen and grenadiers.
Chen Dafeng held the spear in one hand and pounced, and the other spearman had already met the enemy. The two of them stabbed the Red Baya Elite Soldier together, and it was really just a stab, because they didn't pierce the armor.
The three of them rolled together, their weapons useless, and they fought like street fights.
"Boom, boom!"
A cannonball smashed Dodor's banner to pieces, but the artillery was still firing.
"The enemy general is dead!"
Duoduo ran away on horseback, it was not the first time he had run away, and he had a history of escaping before.
The Eight Banners, the whole army was scattered, and only the more than 2,000 cavalry remained.
Ilde wanted to take the cavalry to join Dord, but was stopped by Ma Wannian's dragoons. He didn't care so much, and fled with his troops to the mountains to the north.
Many of the cavalry led by Ild were Duoduo's bannermen.
These bannermen did not dare to throw down the Duoduo and escape, otherwise they would die if they fled back. More than 2,000 Manchu Qing Xiao rode and was actually divided into two, and one of them went to Duoduo without dying.
Ma Wannian led his troops to pester these guys, and divided five hundred horsemen to chase straight in the direction of Duoduo.
"Father, get on the horse!" Geng Jimao didn't know where to get a war horse.
Geng Zhongming was supported by his son and wanted to climb on horseback.
The rear was already chased by the Datong army, Geng Jimao pushed his father violently on the horse's back, and then turned over and fled far away on the horse.
Geng Zhongming had broken one of his legs, and his son pushed him too much, and he almost fell from the other side of the horse in pain.
Before he could sit down, he was grabbed by the Datong army and broke his leg and desperately pulled off his horse.
Another Datong army, armed with a firearm, stabbed him in the face with a bayonet, causing Geng Zhongming to scream in pain.
Another bayonet stabbed him, hitting the throat, Geng Zhongming drew his knife and slashed indiscriminately, slashing Datongbing's arm, and then he also choked his breath.
