"Attack! Offensive! ”

Ao Bai deserved to be the first Baturu of the Qing Dynasty relied on by Emperor Shunzhi, and he quickly reacted from the shock, screamed loudly, and ordered the army to attack the Ming army.

He knew very well in his heart that if he was defeated like this, the morale of the army would be extremely seriously affected, and not only that, but the nearby Korean army would also be uplifted by the first defeat of the Qing army, and its morale would be restored to fight against the Qing army.

Therefore, he must fight to the death, no matter what the cost, he must defeat the Ming army in front of him.

The attack order issued by Ao Bai soon resounded over the entire battlefield with the horn of the bull horn blown by the trumpeter, and the Qing army that was in a commotion did not dare to retreat after hearing this horn, and regrouped in the order of their respective generals and killed the Ming army on the opposite side.

The Qing army carried shield carts, which is why it took the Qing army two days to reach the predetermined battlefield, and although those heavy shield carts slowed down the Qing army's march, they undoubtedly provided them with partial protection in the following battles.

However, it was a pity that Ao Bai did not intend to let the infantry take the lead in the attack, and slowly fought hand-to-hand with the Ming army, he looked at the rear of the Ming army, and knew that the Ming army could launch that terrible rocket again at any time to send his army to hell.

Therefore, he was determined to stud and gamble that this group of Ming troops would make fatal mistakes due to the same fear and nervousness as normal armies in the face of a large-scale cavalry charge, and finally be carried away by a wave of cavalry, so that his own infantry would not still be shelled when attacking, and would be routed in the shelling.

Aobai's idea is naturally good, after all, there is no other army in this world other than the Qi family army that can charge a large force of cavalry outside the flat field, and before the cavalry really rushes in front of them, they will be confused because of excessive fear, and become the soul of the cavalry under the wave.

In the past, both the Korean and Ming officers and armies were defeated in this way, although Ao Bai also knew that the current Ming army could not be compared with the past, but he still thought that no one could face the wave of thousands of cavalry charges, no one!

Therefore, after ordering the infantry to attack, Ao Bai also ordered to gather all the cavalry in the army, this time he brought a total of nearly 10,000 troops, including more than 6,000 cavalry alone, these cavalry are mainly Manchurian Eight Banners, which are mixed with a small number of green battalions and clothed cavalry, and the armor rate is almost 100%.

As soon as the cavalry began to assemble, the Ming army on the opposite side discovered this scene, and the faces of Su Fu and Chen Zhaojun, who were originally relaxed because of the terrifying power of the rocket, became heavy again.

As a general with cavalry expertise, Su Fu naturally knew very well how terrifying the power of so many cavalry would be to charge at the same time in this flat terrain, so he hurriedly ordered his subordinates to prepare in advance, regardless of whether the hidden infantry artillery worked or not, to form an anti-cavalry hollow phalanx when the enemy cavalry approached.

"Eight Banners, attack with me!"

In the Qing army's formation, Ao Bai rode on a high-headed war horse and shouted loudly to the assembled cavalry troops, as the first Baturu of the Qing Dynasty, even as the chief general of the battlefield, it was still difficult to give up this opportunity to charge in person. Under his order, 6,000 Qing cavalry soldiers fought out from the two flanks of the Qing army in two ways, Ao Bai personally led the cavalry on the left flank, and the right flank was led by Gushan Ezhen Panaha.

At this time, the rocket artillery in the rear of the Ming army roared again, and under the frightened eyes of the Qing soldiers, 64 rockets flew towards the advancing Qing army formation again in a whistling sound that could almost puncture the eardrums.

"The rockets of the Ming army!"

"Spread out! Spread out! ”

In the frightened screams of the Qing soldiers, rockets rained down into the crowd, causing multiple explosions, and the fire caused by the explosion also ignited several shield carts, and the heart-rending screams of the soldiers who set themselves on fire were incessant, which made people feel frightened.

Just two bombings, the morale of the Qing army has begun to waver, everyone in the army is frightened, hesitant to continue to move forward, the reason why they did not directly rout, or because Ao Bai has led the cavalry to attack, the generals are charging into battle, how dare they rout on their own.

Rumble –

Seeing that his infantry began to waver, Ao Bai led his cavalry to speed up and rushed towards the Ming army's battle line.

In order to ensure that they could survive the charge of the Qing cavalry, the soldiers formed a larger phalanx in units of half a battalion (three companies), and they hurriedly loaded their rifles with ammunition, nervously watching the Qing cavalry rushing towards this direction.

Dozens of paces in front of them, the sailors hiding behind the shield carts were also reloading the artillery, scrambling to pick up heavy bags and dump dense shotguns into the barrels, or stuffing pairs of chain bullets connected by iron chains, holding the gun, ready to push the guns out at any time.

Woooo

At this moment, the rocket artillery in the rear of the Ming army roared again, this time the target of their bombardment was not the slow-moving infantry, but the Qing cavalry that was rushing towards the battle line.

The cavalry only felt a whirlwind of the sky, and the rockets fell head-on into the running cavalry formation, and after a series of explosions, the cavalry formation was suddenly blown to pieces, and many cavalry were caught in the fire.

The violent movement also frightened the Qing army's war horses, and the frightened war horses scattered and fled with panicked riders, and the originally tight formation was chaotic.

Ao Bai tried his best to appease the frightened horses, and he loudly ordered his men to regroup, but in fact he had no determination to continue the charge, and the Ming army's rockets were so terrifying that he suffered heavy losses before the two armies could engage in battle.

Even if he rushed to the front of the Ming army, he might be able to save the battle, but as the first Baturu, Ao Bai still had the intention of retreating in his heart, his eyes were full of fear, he kept swallowing the saliva secreted from his mouth, and finally slapped his horse and chose to retreat.

Seeing that the Qing army actually chose to retreat, the Ming army suddenly cheered, but the sailors who hid behind the shield car as gunners were a little disappointed, if the Qing army was more stubborn, they would be able to make meritorious contributions.

The Qing army retreated in a hurry, and they were extremely afraid of the rockets dragging the tail flames, so they didn't even have time to load the Hongyi cannons, and they abandoned them on the battlefield with the shield carts, and retreated in embarrassment.

However, they still retained some sanity, and before retreating, those gunners reluctantly nailed the wooden wedge into the lead of the artillery, so that the cannon turned into a bronze finished product that could not be fired, and even if it fell into the hands of the Ming army, it could not be used against the Qing army.

In addition to the loss of almost all the artillery, the number of Qing troops who died directly under the rocket artillery shelling was actually not much, only more than 100 people, more were injured and burned after the rocket explosion, as well as the morale of the soldiers and the fright of the war horses.

If you only look at direct damage, rockets are not worth mentioning, and they will not become a major weapon in the Ming army.
