Chapter 154: Flank Fighting
"Don't quit! Retreat and slash! ”
The melee infantry behind looked at the bird gunners who ran back in a hurry, and the generals and thousands of them shouted loudly, ordering those bird gunners to stop the defeat and retreat, and one of the staff generals led by him directly drew his waist knife and cut one of the fastest bird gunners to the ground, cut off his neck with a knife, and shocked the others with the red blood.
Then, he carried his waist knife and scolded: "Regroup the formation!" ”
However, at this moment, his expression suddenly changed, because the Ming army behind those bird guns began to reorganize the queue, and marched forward with neat steps, those soldiers did not squint and directly stepped over the corpses of the robe on the ground, their movements were uniform, bringing a strong sense of oppression to the Qing soldiers.
Seeing this, the general's heart also began to panic, but he did not show the panic on his face, he knew that if he showed his timidity, these birds in front of him would be completely unable to suppress, but at this time, his body was suddenly pushed hard from behind, and he almost fell to the ground without being caught off guard, and before he could get angry, he turned around and saw a Manchurian soldier in white armor looking at him with disdain, and behind him, more and more Manchurian banners walked out of the queue.
Then, the white-armored soldier spoke non-standard Chinese and said: "You cowardly Nikan, just those southerners who only dare to use firearms on the other side will scare you, I might as well raise you in the Qing Dynasty to raise a group of pigs and dogs, and in the end we have to look at our Manchurian Eight Banners!" ”
Listening to the insulting words of the white armor soldier, the Han people around them couldn't help but show resentment, but they immediately hid their resentful expressions, or directly lowered their heads, pretending not to hear his words.
How did the white armor soldier not know the reaction of the Han people around him, he smiled contemptuously, and did not take it to heart, and then shouted a few voices to the Manchurian soldiers behind him in Manchu language, how to order the general in a stiff tone: "Take your men to attack, we will attack together!" ”
"Yes...... Yes, Lord Haxa. The general reluctantly agreed, although he is a general of the Green Battalion, but in front of these arrogant Manchurians, his identity is not even a fart, and more importantly, the person in front of him is a very rare white-armored soldier in the Eight Banners, and it is easier for this white-armored soldier to kill him than to pinch an ant to death.
No longer facing the white-armored soldier, the general's expression instantly changed from submissive to fierce, just like the fox with a fake tiger, he shouted and scolded: "Charge with me, for His Majesty the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, up!" ”
After the words fell, the general raised his head and ran forward, and under his leadership, the sword and shield men of the green battalion also rushed forward, but they didn't notice that after the general took the lead and ran a few steps, he saw that his subordinates were mobilized, so he slowed down and stopped, beckoning the foot soldiers behind him to rush forward.
At the same time as the Qing army launched a charge, the Qing archers behind again set up their bows and arrows to shoot at the Ming army, and the Manchurians led by the white-armored soldier Haksa also mixed in the crowd to attack, they did not directly enter the melee plan, but took out the Qing bow, felt out the heavy iron arrow, and intended to shoot at the Ming army after approaching.
On the opposite side, seeing that the Qing army launched an attack, the line infantry stopped one after another, they raised their rifles again, and did not panic in the face of the enemy's charge, and fired a round of volleys to the opposite side in an orderly manner, and the mortar artillery behind the line infantry also set up their mortar cannons, ready to project.
"Kill!"
Facts have proved that no matter how fearful they were before, when they were in a state of charge, even cowards would be infected by the robes around them, shouting in unison, and running under the effect of adrenaline, but they only ran a few steps before they saw a burst of fire in front of the Ming army on the opposite side, and the Qing soldiers who ran in the front were still shot and killed even if they raised their shields to defend.
A green battalion soldier was still charging behind his fellow villagers, but at this time, a row of deafening gunshots sounded in front of him, and he suddenly felt that his face was splashed with a lot of warm viscous liquid, and when he looked up again, he was almost frightened, and the uncle who usually took care of him very much was directly punched out of a blood hole in his head, and the blood flew out of the small hole with the brain and splashed on his face.
The body of the uncle who was directly shot in the head was still running forward under the action of inertia, but after running a few steps, he fell to the ground, the green battalion soldier looked at the corpse of the elder in horror, his body trembled uncontrollably, and the bloody scene was deeply imprinted in his eyes, lingering.
At this moment, he was suddenly kicked hard in the back of his buttocks, causing him to kneel heavily on the ground, he subconsciously looked up, and saw his direct subordinate always shouting at him angrily: "Don't stop, give it to Lao Tzu!" ”
As the words fell, under the stern gaze of the general, the Green Battalion soldier gritted his teeth, got up from the ground in one breath, and continued to rush forward with a roar, as if such a shout could vent the fear in his heart.
The Qing army quickly rushed to a distance of fifty paces with three salvos of line infantry, but they also paid hundreds of lives, if it weren't for the deterrent bullets of those Manchurian soldiers and generals, they would have turned around and fled a long time ago, but they didn't dare to have the idea of retreating now, as long as they turned their heads, they would soon be killed on the spot!
"Mortar, prepare!"
Seeing that the Qing army rushed into a distance of forty paces, those Manchurian soldiers dressed in various colors of cloth and armor had already begun to draw bows and arrows and prepare to shoot iron arrows after reaching thirty steps, Su Ci, who was standing in the third column to supervise the battle in person, shouted loudly, and the hand mortar artillery in the second column raised their weapons one after another, and after a few breaths, they only heard Su Ci shouting angrily "release", and the hand mortar artillery reflexively pulled the trigger and sent the fist-sized grenades into the air.
And in the charge, the Manchurian soldiers, who had already drawn arrows with bows and arrows, and shot iron arrows at the Ming army, had not had time to touch the second arrow, but they saw many balls falling from the sky, and the experienced white-armored soldiers instantly guessed the possible use of those balls, their eyes were split, and they shouted loudly: "The thunder of the Ming army!" ”
The words fell, he didn't care about the image, the hope of life made him fall directly forward to the ground, at the moment he landed, the ball exploded, the surrounding Qing soldiers were suddenly blown up, the momentum of the Qing army's charge was stagnant, the first column of the Ming army took the opportunity to raise a gun to shoot, and another round of salvo fire, the Qing army finally reached the limit of bearing, the green battalion soldiers took the lead in turning around and running backwards, and without hesitation sold the Manchurian soldiers who looked down on them to the Ming army.
Seeing that the Qing army began to retreat, Su Ci immediately ordered to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and the foot soldiers who shot out the projectiles drew their bayonets one after another, stuck in the muzzle, and then shouted slogans to launch a counter-charge, and some soldiers who did not shoot the projectiles also followed, they ran while shooting at those Manchurian soldiers, one of the soldiers accurately shot a yellow-armored soldier within ten steps, and then pulled out the bayonet stuck on the muzzle, and stabbed head-on into the body of a green battalion soldier who did not run away, kicked it over, pulled out the bayonet, and looked for the next enemy.
As a result, the flanks of the battlefield also fell into bloody melee combat.
