Chapter 460: Reduced to a laughing stock
Among the corpses, the corpses of war horses are the majority.
There were relatively few corpses of the Mongolian cavalry, many of the Mongolian cavalry were just stunned or injured, and even many of the Mongolian cavalry were able to get up and run back in a hurry.
Then, a scene of anger that made Duoduo and the Qing army leave appeared.
I saw that the two rows of Ming troops in front of the column left the infantry array one after another, and launched a brutal pursuit of these Mongolian cavalry running back with self-made firearms with bayonets on their hands.
The sound of guns sounded, and one group after another of the Mongol cavalry fell to the ground.
Not only the Mongol cavalry who tried to flee back, but also the Mongol cavalry lying on the ground did not escape.
Whether it was dead or alive or pretending to be dead, after the Ming army came to the front, it couldn't help but say that it was a knife, and occasionally encountered the resistance of the Mongolian cavalry who pretended to be dead, and immediately several or even a dozen Ming soldiers surrounded and stabbed with bayonets.
"How can this be true, how can this be true!" Seeing that this lung was about to be blown up, Duoduo killed people in front of me? I don't want to lose face for the ten kings of the Qing Dynasty? The Ming army was really excessive.
Dodor was really a little upset, or rather out of his mind.
"Gilgi, Norbu!" Duoduo also ordered the two solid mountains of the Eight Banners Mongolia.
"To this king, at all costs to break the Ming army from the front, to disrupt and disperse their formation, and then drive them to the prairie, and then to kill all the Ming army, not a single one, not a single one, kill them, kill them, kill them, ahhhhhh......h
Duoduo was annoyed and angry, not only to annihilate the Ming cavalry in front of him, but also to annihilate the Ming cavalry in the shortest possible time by means of frontal impact, only in this way can he restore the dignity of the ten kings of the Qing Dynasty! Otherwise, after today, he, the ten kings of the Qing Dynasty, will become a laughing stock.
He Luohui saw that something was wrong and wanted to step forward to dissuade him: "Master? ”
"What?" Duoduo Huo Ran turned his head and glared at He Luohui fiercely, "What do you want to say?" ”
He Luohui chuckled in his heart, and quickly changed his words: "Otherwise, the slave will be on it, right?" ”
"Don't rush yet!" Although Dodor had already renounced his anger at this time, he had not completely lost his mind, and he still remembered to preserve the vitality of the white flag as much as possible.
Duoduo glared at Gilgi and Noble again, and yelled sharply.
"The shame inflicted on the Eight Banners of Mongolia by the Ming Army can only be washed away by the Eight Banners Mongolia itself."
"If you don't want to be ridiculed by others, don't want to be looked down upon by others, and don't want to be a shame for the Eight Banners Mongolia, then pick up your bows and arrows, pull out your horse chopping knives, and kill all the Ming dogs on the other side! Kill, kill! ”
Duoduo's speech was still very infectious, and the morale of the two Mongol cavalry who had completed the assembly rose to the highest point at once, and the three thousand Mongol cavalry immediately screamed as soon as they raised their swords, and then urged the horses to charge towards the Ming army's infantry array from four directions.
This is already the fourth wave of the frontal charge of the Eight Banners Mongols.
Duoduo is also the head iron, which can be regarded as a par with Hu Guozhu.
……
Looking at the Mongolian cavalry that rushed over again, Hu Guozhu still only sneered.
The assembly call sounded in the infantry array, and the soldiers of the Ming army who were cleaning the battlefield on the periphery withdrew to their own formation, because there was a third row of soldiers as a benchmark, so they quickly re-stood in the queue.
The next step is to check your equipment and reload your ammo.
Thousands of fighters bit open the cartridges, first poured a small amount of primer into the primer room, then poured most of the remaining gunpowder from the muzzle into the chamber, and finally stuffed the paper shell with lead, and then pressed it to the end with a strip and pressed it hard.
Then insert the through bar back into the hole under the barrel, then pull the trigger open, and finally just wait quietly.
Looking up, I saw that the Mongolian cavalry had entered within a hundred steps, and the horse's head was stirring and the iron hooves were churning, and the momentum was still quite bluffing, but the soldiers of the Ming army had already been in the ancient well.
In fact, the Mongolian cavalry also made progress, and this time they began to draw their bows and arrows as soon as they entered within a hundred paces, and this time they no longer used heavy arrows, but light arrows, and they were projectiles.
Eight Banners Mongolia is also Mongolia, and it still retains the traditional craft of projectile.
As a result, waves of arrows rained into the air, raindropping inside and outside the hollow phalanx of the Ming army.
Many horses were hit by arrows and let out painful wails, but because the reins were firmly tied to the stake, and the stake was deeply nailed to the ground, they couldn't run away if they wanted to.
There were also many soldiers who were hit by arrows, but because of the tight protection of the cotton armor lined with iron sheets and the hat-shaped helmet, the impact was minimal, and the projectile of light arrows was not enough to penetrate the armor stomach of the Ming army.
Hu Guozhu was also hit by several arrows, but he didn't pay attention to it at all.
In the blink of an eye, the Mongol cavalry was within fifty paces and was forced to slow down.
Because the grass is full of corpses of people and horses, if you don't slow down, you will trip.
Immediately, the soldiers of the Ming army began to advance again, taking turns to release the guns, and the sound of guns rang out.
With the sound of dense firing and the smoke of gunpowder, the Mongol cavalry fell in rows.
In less than a quarter of an hour, two more 3,000 Mongol cavalrymen fell in a pool of blood.
Although the Ming army also suffered casualties, the number was not large, but the length and width of the hollow phalanx shrank by about 20 meters, that is, a total of more than 100 casualties.
When the last Mongolian cavalry fell in a pool of blood, Hu Guozhu did not hesitate to order again, ordering the front two rows of Ming soldiers to go out to clean up the battlefield, and when they found the escaped Mongolian cavalry, they shot and killed them indiscriminately.
Occasionally, Mongol cavalrymen would kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, and they would be executed.
Because the situation of the Ming army was not safe at this time, they did not dare to leave their pawns.
And such a cruel scene fell into the eyes of Duoduo as it was.
also fell into the eyes of Aobai, He Luohui, Baiyintu and others.
He Luo would feel that he could no longer sit idly by and that he had to stop Dodor.
In less than an hour, the Eight Banners of Mongolia, which had already lost 23 Niu Lu.
At this rate of casualties, the Eight Banners of Mongolia that transferred 70 Niu Lu from Xuzhou would last for two hours at most, and then it would be their turn to Eight Banners Manchuria.
"Master, we can't go on like this."
"The Ming army's self-generated firepower is too dense."
"Relying on the frontal impact of the cavalry alone, you can't rush through at all."
"You can only adopt flank tactics, use light arrows to continuously kill and injure the Ming army, and wait for the Ming army's formation to collapse, and then drive the army to cover the kill, so that you can kill with one blow."
"Okay." By this time, Dodor had also calmed down.
Now he no longer needs to think about whether to lose face or not.
If the casualties of the Eight Banners Mongolia continue to expand, they will be removed from the banner.
The Eight Banners Mongols quickly changed their tactics and began to circle around the Ming army's infantry array in Gushan, and the distance between the two sides would be slightly closer with each turn.
The Eight Banners Mongolia also used the Great Bow.
The Great Bow uses the precision of heavy arrows, and its effective range is generally within 50 paces.
However, if a projectile light arrow is used to create area damage, the range can reach 150 paces or more.
In order to ensure that more arrows were dumped on the heads of the Ming army, the Mongolian cavalry in the front row of the circle approached to 100 paces, and then from 100 steps to 150 paces, and the tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry in the fan ring with a thickness of 50 paces were running in circles, while constantly throwing light arrows at the hollow phalanx in the center.
Under the rain of arrows from the Mongol cavalry, the casualties of the Ming army and horses also began to increase.
However, the Ming army did not stand stupidly and let the Mongolian cavalry shoot, but used the flintlock pistol to carry out a fierce counterattack, the effective range of the flintlock pistol is indeed fifty steps, once it exceeds fifty steps, the hit rate will drop sharply, but the hit rate has decreased, the penetration or lethality has not decreased, and it will kill people like a shot!
As a result, the situation evolved into a long-range exchange of fires between the two sides.
But in general, it was clear that the Mongol cavalry suffered more.
Because the killing efficiency of light arrow projectile on the soldiers of the Ming army is very low.
For example, Hu Guozhu has been hit by no less than twenty arrows on his body, and the whole body is about to be shot into a hedgehog, but he is still unscathed, because the light arrows thrown cannot penetrate the mountain armor on his body at all.
Not only the mountain armor, but also the cotton armor lined with iron sheets cannot be shot.
Unless you are shot at the parts that cannot be protected by the armor and stomach, such as the palms of the hands, below the knees and the soles of the feet, as well as the elbow joints between the shawl and the elbow pads, and the gap between the two skirt armors on the outside of the thighs, only if they are shot in these parts, the Ming army will be injured, but most of them are only wounded, and they will not die.
However, this is not the case with the Eight Banners Mongolia.
After fifty paces, the flintlock pistol's hit rate drops dramatically, but its lethality does not decrease in the slightest.
Therefore, if you don't hit, if you don't hit, both horses and people will be killed, even if you reach a distance of one hundred and fifty paces, you will still be killed.
Therefore, every time the Mongol cavalry turned, men and horses fell to the ground.
As time passed, the corpses of the fallen centaurs piled up.
Duoduo found the only small earthen bag nearby, which was not very tall, but standing on the top of the small earthen bag, he could just see the Ming army formation in the encirclement of the Mongol cavalry.
Seeing that the Mongol cavalry was constantly falling,
And the Ming army in the phalanx rarely fell,
Duoduo's face became extremely embarrassed.
He Luohui and the generals of the two white flags also sighed when they saw this.
In the current situation, unless the ammunition of this group of Ming troops is exhausted, it is obviously impossible to eat the Ming army, and no matter how many Mongolian cavalry they die, it is impossible to achieve this goal, and this battle cannot be fought.
However, did the Mongol cavalry still have time to run out of ammunition for the Ming army?
If nothing else, Ming reinforcements will soon arrive on the battlefield.
What is the saying? The more you are afraid of something, the more you will come.
As soon as I thought of the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty, there was a swan sound in the distance.
