Chapter 536: Enemy on the Belly and Back

"Well done!"

Seeing this scene, Xu Yingwei clenched his fists hard.

Gao Qiqian didn't see the doorway, and asked, "Xu Zhizhi, did we win?" ”

Without waiting for Xu Yingwei to reply, Zheng Sen hurriedly said: "Not yet, but soon, as long as we defeat the encircled Jiannu phalanx again, we will win." ”

"Can you really win?"

Gao Qiqian looked skeptical.

This is an active attack.

……

Dolgon, however, was already furious.

"Jiang Xuan, this idiot, what is he doing?"

"What is Jiang Xuan doing? What is he doing? ”

Like a wounded beast, Dorgon roared bitterly.

Hong Chengchou, Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan and I looked sluggish.

Today's battle, both in terms of process and result, was completely beyond their cognition, and they were defeated before they could figure out what was going on.

The same hollow phalanx, when the Ming army used it in Guting Town, was majestic.

But when their Qing soldiers used the hollow phalanx, the effect was immediately greatly reduced.

Moreover, the same tiger squat cannon, when used by the Ming army, has terrifying lethality, one by one.

However, when the artillery of the Green Battalion was used, even if there were more Tiger Squat Cannons, the lethality was vastly different, and it only caused negligible casualties to the Ming army.

Hong Chengchou: They have too many question marks.

In a word, I was really stunned today.

There were countless question marks in Hou Fangyu's mind.

But this dog traitor still remembers his bitter hatred for Chongzhen.

At that moment, Hou Fangyu said: "Master, the Ming army wants to encircle the hollow array of our Eight Banners Han Army on three sides, and its intentions can not be said to be sinister, but everything has advantages and disadvantages. ”

"When the Ming army was encircling the Han army of the Eight Banners,"

"It also gave me the opportunity for the Qing soldiers to counter-encircle it."

After a pause, he said: "Master, you can make the cavalry of the Eight Banners Mongolia and the Horqin Mongolian Banners outflank the Ming army, so that the Ming army will be attacked by the enemy on its back and fall into a desperate situation where it is difficult to take care of the end of the head." ”

Dolgon's time lit up, and it was a soldier's desperate situation to be attacked by the enemy on his back.

At that moment Dorgon shouted, "The decree ......"

……

"It's broken! Broken, broken, broken! It's broken! ”

Gao Qiqian's face changed drastically: "The Mongolian cavalry has outflanked from both flanks, and now the four infantry brigades we attacked will fall into a desperate situation of being attacked by the enemy!" ”

"It is more troublesome to be attacked on the abdomen and back than to be surrounded on three sides."

After a pause, he continued: "According to this situation, I'm afraid that before we can defeat the encircled Jiannu, we have already been defeated by Jiannu from both sides. ”

"It doesn't matter." Zheng Sen said in a surging voice.

"I remember that the Holy Lord once said that the last thing the hollow phalanx is afraid of is a two-sided attack."

"It's not just the Holy Saint who said it, but we have verified it more than once in the exercises." Xu Yingwei said, "The result of the battle of Guting Town proves that the hollow phalanx is not afraid of cavalry encirclement. ”

As he spoke, the Mongolian cavalry had already outflanked the Ming army's hollow phalanx.

Immediately, the Mongol cavalry launched an attack on the Ming army's phalanx with the "ring cut" tactic.

Ring cutting tactics, also known as onion peeling tactics, are conventional tactics for light cavalry to deal with heavy cavalry or infantry, which refers to the use of bows and arrows to continuously cause damage to heavy cavalry or infantry through continuous circleing, just like slicing, cutting off the periphery of heavy cavalry or infantry piece by piece.

The Battle of the Seyo at the end of the thirteenth century,

It was by this tactic that the 60,000 Mongol cavalry completely annihilated the 100,000 heavy cavalry in Europe.

However, time passed, and when the Mongolian cavalry once again sacrificed the traditional craftsmanship of their ancestors, they found that it was no longer easy to use, and the Ming infantry was not afraid of the ring cutting tactics of the Mongolian cavalry.

Because the self-generated firearms equipped by the Ming army were sharper than the cavalry bows of the Mongol cavalry.

The arrows fired by the Mongol cavalry were difficult to inflict damage unless they directly hit the throat of the Ming infantry, because the cotton armor of the Ming army had good protection and could reduce most of the kinetic energy carried by the arrows.

On the other hand, the flintlock pistols of the Ming army were enough to inflict fatal casualties on the Mongol cavalry.

Therefore, more than 30,000 Mongolian cavalry swept over, looking scary, but only scary.

At the moment of the battle, you can find that there are very few Ming troops who fell under the bows and arrows of the Mongolian cavalry, but the Mongolian cavalry who fell under the guns of the Ming army were row after row.

The hollow phalanx of the Ming army did not even stop advancing.

Of course, the Ming army behind the hollow phalanx was retreating and releasing its guns.

Soon, the Ming army in front of the hollow phalanx also approached the Jiannu hollow phalanx, and the two sides were less than 100 steps apart.

The distance of 100 steps is obviously a bit far for a smoothbore gun, which is also very clear on the Jiannu side, so when the Eight Banners Manchuria lined up to shoot before, it was also 50 steps before firing.

But the Eight Banners Han Army obviously did not have the psychological qualities of the Eight Banners Manchuria.

So as soon as they entered within 100 steps, the Eight Banners Han Army couldn't wait to open fire.

"Woohoo!" With the sound of firing guns, a thick white smoke soon filled the front of the Jiannu array.

Looking at the four Ming army formations in front of them, more than a dozen Ming troops each fell to the ground silently, but soon the Ming troops in the back row came up, making the entire hollow phalanx remain intact again.

From beginning to end, the Ming army did not fire.

……

"Put!"

Hearing the general order, Huang Deheng decisively pulled the trigger.

The butt of the self-fired gun against the right shoulder shook violently, causing a faint pain in the right shoulder, and at the same time, the sound of continuous firing was heard in the ear.

"Stand back and reload."

With the sound of the general password,

Huang Deheng decisively took three steps back.

Then a small bamboo jar with gunpowder was ripped from the bullet belt.

Pull out the stopper, pour a small amount of gunpowder into the open primer chamber, then pour the remaining gunpowder into the muzzle, and take out a lead from the leather bag around his waist and stuff it in.

To prevent lead from falling out of the muzzle,

A piece of silk cloth was also wrapped around the lead.

Then use the through strip to press the lead to the end.

Compress, but not too tightly.

Insert the through bar back into the through hole under the gun tube and open the trigger again.

Huang Deheng's training was not bad, most of the half a year of queue training and shooting training were not in vain, and the entire loading process only took more than ten seconds.

"Forward!" As soon as the general command sounded, Huang Deheng held his self-made fire gun on his chest and walked forward sideways.

Passing by the other two rows of musketeers, Huang Deheng and his platoon of musketeers soon came to the front of the position.

Looking up, through the quickly turning gunsmoke, you can clearly see the Ming army column that is marching forward in front of you.

After seeing the Ming army column moving forward clearly, Huang Deheng couldn't help but feel a sigh of relief, because the distance of the Ming army had approached from the previous eighty steps to thirty steps, which was close to the end of the day.

"Raise your gun, aim for the ......" sounded the general command again.

This time, due to the noisy battlefield, Huang Deheng did not hear the general shouting out the command to fire.

But when the sound of "呯呯" sounded, Huang Deheng also pulled the trigger.

Looking up again, through the diffuse gunsmoke, you can vaguely see that many people in the infantry queue of the Ming army are falling straight forward or backward, not to mention one or two hundred.

But Huang Deheng felt an inexplicable chill in his heart.

Because up to now, the Ming army has been beaten by five rows of guns in less than 30 seconds, and the Ming army has been killed and wounded by at least 1,000 people, but the Ming army has never returned fire.

Needless to say, the Ming army was waiting for the distance to get closer before firing back.

Fools know that the distance is close, and the self-generated fire gun has a higher hit rate.

But it's one thing to know, it's another to be able to wait until close before firing.

The Ming army can withstand the firepower of the Eight Banners Han Army, bear such a large casualty and never fire back, just in order to give the Eight Banners Han Army a fatal injury at close range, it is simply a cattle!

So after releasing the gun, Huang Deheng hurriedly turned around and retreated.

Another reloaded companion passed him sideways and stood in the front row.

Huang Deheng glanced back, and then he was very surprised to see that the companion who had just passed him had been shot in the door and fell straight back.

When I looked down again, I saw that my companion's entire front door was shattered.

A slight sense of disgust surged from Huang Deheng's chest in an instant.

However, Huang Deheng quickly overcame this slight discomfort.

Forcing himself not to recall the bloody picture he had just seen, he tore off a bamboo jar from the bullet belt and was about to pour the primer into the primer room, but found that his hands had become disobedient, and he always poured the gunpowder outside the primer room, and at the end of the bamboo jar the gunpowder was poured, and the primer room was not filled.

In the end, he simply grabbed a piece of lead and stuffed it from the muzzle of the gun.

Compact with the bar, reset the bar, and then pull the trigger open.

Then Huang Deheng came to the front row sideways with a self-generated fire gun.

Looking up, I saw that the Ming army on the opposite side had approached twenty paces.

Moreover, there happened to be a row of Ming military formations on the opposite side that had just come up, and pressed down the self-generated fire guns that were originally erected, and the muzzles of the black holes were already aimed at their side.

Twenty paces away, the two sides lined up to confront each other, holding their own firearms to bombard,

This can be said to be an unprecedented test of the willpower of the soldiers on both sides.

"Fuck you!" An eight-banner Han army collapsed in an instant, turned around and ran.

The rout of the Eight Banners Han Army soon set off a chain reaction that affected the whole team.

So Huang Deheng and the nearby Eight Banners Han Army followed and turned around and fled.

At the moment when Huang Deheng turned around and fled, the scream of bullets suddenly sounded in his ears.

Immediately, Huang Deheng felt a lightness on the top of his head, but the warm hat on his head had been knocked off.

Immediately afterwards, continuous screams and wails sounded on the left and right sides of Huang Deheng.

With screams and wails, several Eight Banner Han soldiers fell to the ground with a puff.

Huang Deheng was so frightened that his soul was in danger, and he couldn't help but speed up his feet, and in order to reduce the burden, he even threw away the self-generated fire gun in his hand, no matter what.
