Chapter 71: Hand-to-hand combat
"Uncle, Jianyu is defeated! Let's go after it! ”
Because of the smoke of gunpowder, the soldiers of the Ming army in the formation did not see it very clearly.
However, the Ming troops on both flanks could clearly see that the opposing surrender army had collapsed, and reported it to the Chinese army as soon as possible.
"No!" Huang Degong was unmoved, "This is a surrender army driven by Jiannu, the real Jiannu is behind, and the real fight has just begun." ”
Huang Degong is worthy of being born in Liaodong Town.
I saw through Jiannu's routine at a glance.
"Order, open the van barrier!"
"Spearmen, pay attention to support the two-wing car battalion!"
"Musketeers hurry up and replenish the arquebus, gunpowder lead!"
Huang Degong has been guarding against Jiannu's cavalry.
The order was issued quickly, and the Ming army took advantage of the break in the battle to hurry up and prepare.
After a while, the smoke that had filled the front of the battle cleared, and I finally saw the situation ahead.
I saw that behind the surrendering army that had just collapsed, a real Jiannu Eight Banner soldiers appeared, and this Eight Banners soldiers had already arrived within a hundred paces of each other.
"Bright yellow cotton armor!" The adjutant general exclaimed, "It's the Eight Banners of the Jiannu Zhenghuang Banner!" ”
"Wrong, it's the Yellow Flag Han Army!" Huang Degong, "The Jiannu Eight Banners have no artillery. ”
"Artillery?!" The adjutant general's eyes fell on the side car in the Jiannu formation on the opposite side, and he saw that a venerable Franc cannon had already aimed the muzzle of the black hole at their side.
Almost as soon as the Ming army saw these Franc machine guns, the muzzles of the guns burst into clouds of white smoke.
Immediately afterward, a loud roar came.
The roar was followed by a piercing screech.
It was the screech of a Franc shell tearing through the air.
"Shut the mouth!" The lieutenant general beside Huang Degong roared suddenly.
However, before the last word "bullet" could be finished, the sound stopped abruptly.
At the same time, a stream of warm liquid splashed violently on Huang Degong's face, with a fishy smell.
Looking back, I saw that the head on the lieutenant's neck had disappeared, and streams of blood were spurting out of the broken neck, and soon the sun and moon flag standing next to it were red.
"No. 1 Franc cannon, closed bullets!"
Huang Degong almost burst out of his teeth.
The No. 1 Franc cannon weighs 1,000 pounds, and the closing bullet weighs 25 pounds! Within 100 steps, the car and ship are shattered!
However, hitting people with a closed bullet is like hitting mosquitoes with a cannon, and the killing efficiency is not high.
The Han army with the yellow flag on the opposite side probably wanted to demonstrate, so they took advantage of the terrifying lethal effect of the combined bullet to take the lead.
In fact, the Zhenghuangqi Han Army did achieve the expected intention, fifteen partial vans, fifteen No. 1 Franc machines, except for one cannon dumb fire, two cannons hit high, the remaining 12 Franc cannons all hit the target, and instantly ploughed out 12 bloody roads in the Ming army's formation.
At least fifty Ming soldiers were killed instantly.
And basically all of them are broken limbs, and the state is extremely tragic.
Seeing the tragic situation, some of the Ming troops suddenly became commotion.
The lethality of the closing bullet is actually average, but the psychological deterrence of people is incomparable.
The Ming military formation showed signs of instability in an instant.
Huang Degong realized the danger, and at this time he collapsed if he couldn't stabilize it.
Without a trace of hesitation, Huang Degong immediately rushed to the front of the battle with an iron whip.
"Don't panic, the car camp is moving slowly! Knife players, musketeers, and spearmen charge with me! Daming Wansheng! ”
Huang Degong is really experienced in a hundred battles, and he knows that he can't fight against the Jiannu cannon at this time, because the number of Franc cannons in the Ming army is not as large as that of Jiannu, and it is placed on both sides, and it is too late to change back to the front.
Nor can they withdraw, as soon as the army is withdrawn, the sheep will be grazing.
So the only way is to launch a charge and try to get close to the game.
As long as you rush to Jiannu's front to form a scuffle, Jiannu's Franc cannon will be scrapped.
Seeing that Huang Degong took the lead and took the lead in charging Jiannu, the military spirit of the Ming army was instantly stabilized, no matter what, such a master general was worthy of the soldiers' death.
"Daming Wansheng!" The Ming soldiers howled and followed.
And even in the charge, it still maintains a fairly neat formation.
From this, it can be seen that Huang Degong's army in this town is really okay.
……
"It's kind of interesting."
Ao Bai was also a little surprised.
How long has it been since I saw such a Ming army?
Three years? Five years? Or is it 10 years?
In his memory, it seems that he was only seventeen years old in the Battle of Ningjin, and Zu Dashou and You Shilu, who were still the chief soldiers of the Ming army, led 4,000 elite horsemen out of the city to fight against the Eight Banners.
After that, I never encountered such a Ming army.
"Jablan, go and gather the warriors with the yellow flag!"
"Huh!" Jabran agreed, and galloped down the dirt bag.
Perhaps it was the tenacious performance of this Ming army that aroused Aobai's competitive spirit, or perhaps Aobai realized the threat of the Ming army, and he was finally ready to gather the Eight Banners with yellow flags.
……
Zu Zerun was also killed by surprise.
Zu Zerun and the Ming army did not fight once or twice, after the Songjin War, there were very few Ming troops who could carry their Eight Banners Han Army's artillery salvo, basically one or two artillery bombardments after the Ming army will collapse, the rest can be handed over to the Eight Banners Mongolia, they just need to wait to share the war exploits.
But the group of Ming troops in front of them is completely different.
This group of Ming troops had already fought with Gaodi's surrendering army, and paid a lot of casualties, and he expected that they would be able to completely defeat them with a single shell with the Franc machine gun.
However, the end result was completely unexpected.
Instead of being defeated, this group of Ming troops actually launched a charge.
This caught them off guard and Zu Zerun hurriedly ordered the replacement of the shells.
According to the different combat intentions, there are two kinds of sub-cannons, one is loaded to attack the walled city, and the closing bullet of the No. 1 Franc cannon can weigh up to 25 catties.
The other is loaded with 100 bullets and is used to attack centaurs.
The No. 1 Franc Cannon can be loaded with 200 stone bullets for 2 taels, or 500 bullets for 1 iron bullet!
This kind of Baizi cannon is fired at a distance of 100 paces, and can kill a large area, and the middle one will stand into a honeycomb!
Zu Zerun was a little careless before, and only thought about suppressing the Ming army, so he only prepared a closing bullet.
"Hurry up and change the cannon! Swap it out for a 100-son cannon! Zu Zerun jumped to his feet and shouted, "Baizi Cannon!" Fool, change the cannon! ”
The Han army with the yellow flag was in a hurry, and it took more than half a minute to finally move the Baizi cannon from the baggage cart, but by this time the Ming army had already approached within fifty paces.
The musketeers of the first row of the Han army with yellow flags opened fire one after another.
In the huge sound of firing guns, dozens of Ming troops fell in an instant.
But the Ming army was still not intimidated and continued to rush forward.
There was another row of guns, and the Ming army fell in a long row.
At this time, the gunners of the Yellow Banner Han Army were reloaded, and the Ming army was also approaching within twenty paces.
In less than twenty steps, the Zhenghuang Banner Han Army and the Ming Army could even see each other's hideous faces clearly, whether it was the Zhenghuang Banner Han Army or the Ming Army, they all had hideous faces, and their mouths let out unconscious roars.
It's like two cocks with their necks open, trying to scare each other with momentum.
"Put!" Zu Zerun was so anxious that the was about to come out, and he yelled angrily, "Fire, fire!" ”
The gunners of the Han army of the Yellow Banner inserted the red-hot iron chisels into the fire door one after another, and then there was a loud bang, and a thick cloud of gunpowder smoke instantly bloomed in front of the two armies.
"Uhhhh No! Help me! It hurts! Ahhh ”
Hysterical screams instantly sounded in front of the Ming army.
At this moment, hundreds of Ming troops were beaten into a honeycomb.
The No. 1 Franc cannon fired a hundred cannons at a distance of less than twenty paces, which was really ferocious to the extreme!
It's just that it was a little late to fire the cannon at this time, because the Ming army was already approaching in front of the Zhenghuang Banner Han army, and they never had a chance to fire the second cannon.
Moreover, the bloody nature of the Ming army has been completely mobilized.
The smoke of gunpowder also obscured the bloody picture, so there was no such fear.
"Kill! Daming Wansheng! In the midst of the overwhelming shouts, the first row of spearmen had already rushed up quickly, stabbing the spears in their hands viciously towards the Eight Banners Han Army on the opposite side.
The hatred of the country and the family are all condensed in this stab.
"Die! die, give me death! ”
The spearhead of the Han army's gunners and sword players were instantly stabbed.
The main general Huang Degong is particularly fierce, this is a famous fierce general in the Ming Dynasty.
"Die!" With a loud shout, the iron whip smashed viciously on the head of a Eight Banners Han Army, and the leather bowl of the Han Army couldn't stop it at all, and it was beaten to a burst in an instant.
Blood splattered, brains burst out, and Huang Degong turned around and pounced on the next Eight Banners Han Army.
"Take your life!" Huang Degong jumped up, and the iron whip weighing more than ten catties smashed viciously into the front door of the Han army again.
The Han soldier subconsciously took his arm to block it, only to hear a crisp click, and the Han army's arm bent from the middle at a strange angle, and it was broken from the middle.
"Uhhh The Han army screamed hysterically.
Huang Degong took a step forward and shone another whip in front of the Han army.
The screams of the Han army stopped abruptly, and their heads were smashed and burst.
Zooming out from the perspective, the two armies are like two hurricanes colliding head-on.
At this time, there will not be too many thoughts at all, whether it is the Ming army or the Eight Banners Han army, there is only one thought, stab with a spear, slash with a waist knife, use all the weapons that can be caught around you to attack the enemy desperately, and kill the enemy as much as possible, because only by killing the enemy can you survive, and there is no way back in life, you can only rush forward!
The two armies are like bulls on top of each other, crazy stabs, stabs!
All this is a long story, but in fact, it is only half a cup of tea, and more than 100 people have been killed and injured on both sides.
Well, this picture looks cruel, the spear is very cruel and bloody when stabbed, but in fact, the casualties are just like that, there are not many people who are really stabbed to death, and it is not at this time that casualties are most likely to occur in a war.
But at this time, the spiritual will of the soldiers on both sides is most tested.
Finally, the Zhenghuang Banner Han Army was the first to collapse and collapsed.
They hadn't met such a Ming army for a long time, and they were a little uncomfortable.
First one of the Han soldiers with a positive yellow flag turned and fled, then the second, then the third, and then quickly spread out.
"Daming Wansheng!" The Han army of the Zhenghuang Banner broke and fled, but the Ming army was even more energetic, screaming and chasing forward, with a posture of wanting to kill the Han army of the Zhenghuang Banner.
