Chapter 433: The Battle of the Foundation Lay

Abatai's angry shout before he died did not make the minions react, and the leading minions looked at the other person: "Lord Wang... What do the words of the prince mean? ”

"Let... We... Take the prince back? ”

The battle in the distance has been fierce, and all the living forces of the Qing army have launched a charge, and now there are only more than 100 Goshha protecting Abatai, as Abatai's cronies and slaves, they do not have to fight alone.

"In that case, Etai, you go and tell Bei Ziye the news of the death of the prince, and then convey the prince's deathbed words, and we will protect the prince's body and return to the capital."

.

"How?"

Chen Cao asked as he ran: "Has the Qing army been fooled?" ”

Zhao Xin didn't know the situation either, but when they met the Shenwu Army troops who had already completed the formation on the edge, Chen Cao was immediately lifted from the encirclement, and all the people retreated behind the Shenwu Army's formation in a detour.

Chen Cao, who stopped at the back of the battle, realized that this real 'failure' may have really failed too much.

The infantry of the Yang Lian brothers were the fastest to rout, they scattered and fled, and the chaos was also very thorough, among which there were many Dingwu soldiers who were mixed in with them and retreated, including Yan Chun, the commander of the Eighth Division, who was already injured and could not fight.

The rout was blocked in front of the battle, whether it was the Yang Lian brothers or the strictly trained Dingwu army, they all knew that they must not attack the troops in front of the formation when they were defeated, otherwise they would be killed.

When the routed army was about to reach the position of the Shenwu Army, they all began to retreat towards the left and right flanks under the leadership of the Dingwu Army.

Bolo also rushed very quickly, in order to avenge Abatai, when he charged with Hauge, he rushed the most with the remnants of the two blue flags, and when they were harvesting people's heads, they found that the firearms of the Ming army were waiting for the Ming army at a distance of more than two hundred paces ahead.

The firearm that he had never seen before made Bolo feel a little panicked, but he could clearly see that the Ming army in front of the battle was not equipped with artillery, which also created an opportunity for them to charge.

Bo Luo, who had palpitations, was also smart, and first asked three Niu Lu to charge in front of Wang Xiaojie with more than 1,000 Han Eight Banner entourage soldiers.

The sound of horses' hooves roared, more than 2,000 people mixed with more than 4,000 war horses rushed towards Wang Xiaojie's formation, less than a hundred steps away, only to hear a sharp whistle, 30 revolvers at the same time, dense bullet rain like a sickle swept through the middle of more than 2,000 Qing troops, accompanied by the wail of the war horse and the moaning of the knight before death, some Qing soldiers did not even make a sound and died tragically under the penetration of the bullets, after falling off the horse, they were trampled by the hooves of the war horses one after another.

Bolo was taken aback, fortunately he was smart, these people in front of him were the Ming army who killed his brother, this formation, it seems that the Ming army had already taken precautions, could it be that their rout was also deliberate?

"Impossible..."

Haugle stopped his war horse and angrily reprimanded Goshha who came to report the news: "They are a mess of defeat, how can they still be prepared, it must be the reserve reinforcements prepared by Chen Cao, tell Bolo, no retreat, the whole army charges, seize the gap between the loading of the Ming army's muskets and rush over, quick..."

"Tsk..."

There were more and more cavalry in the Qing army, and although Bolo was very afraid, he was still somewhat prepared in his heart, so he first let the seven or eight thousand people gathered by the Han Eight Banners charge first.

The deputy general Li Xiukai is the Li family in Liaodong, and was appointed as a cavalry general after surrendering to the Qing army.

When Bolo received Hauge's order, he immediately ordered Li Xiukai to attack, and he ordered his two Zhang Jing to outflank him with about 3,000 men.

As soon as the barrel of the gun cooled, steam rose and the stagnant water on the ground formed a mud puddle, Wang Xiaojie hurriedly ordered the deputy machine gun to carry the ammunition, and the hurried horses' hooves rumbled to the accompaniment of the horn.

"Prepare for battle..."

This time there were obviously more cavalry than the previous ones, and the charge of nearly 10,000 people was extremely fierce, but with the roar of gunfire, the dense rain of bullets once again formed a sickle, ruthlessly harvesting the lives of the Qing army.

Li Xiukai was terrified, the firearms of the Ming army were too fierce, and if he continued to fight like this, his people would not be able to rush to the front of the opponent's formation.

Seeing that the opponent's gunfire stopped, Bolo, who thought that the opportunity had come, immediately ordered the whole army to charge, but it was accompanied by continuous gunfire and white smoke rising from the position, but Bolo could see with the naked eye that the firearms on the Ming army's position were not as powerful as the continuous sound just now.

"Rush over, rush over..."

"Kill..."

"Dada... Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da-da-da..."

'Da ... Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da...'

'Da ... Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da...'

The crisp and coherent sound came and went again, and Bolo immediately reined in his horse, and he clearly saw that the cavalry of the Han Army and the cavalry of the Blue Banner who were charging in front of him were being cut off layer by layer as if they had been cut wheat, and the speed was so fast that they arrived in front of him in less than ten breaths.

"Protect Bei Ziye..."

"Protect the master..."

"Ahh

Bolo's luck was bad, and at the last moment of his consciousness he felt his head scatter like a ripe watermelon falling to the ground and exploding.

"Ahh

Goshha beside him trembled and shouted, he witnessed the whole picture of the whole head of the master Bolo exploding, the corpse of the dead Bolo still stood upright and caught the war horse under him, and the headless corpse wandered around under the impetus of the war horse.

Until the crisp gunfire rang out again, even the Goshha around Bolo were killed or wounded, and in the end, perhaps because of the spirituality of the war horse, Bolo's body was not pierced by bullets, but walked towards the back of the position under the leisurely swing of the war horse.

"Ahh

A frightened cry sounded, and I didn't know who was shouting, followed by a Manchu shout, and someone shouted in Manchu that the Ming army had invited the devil in the hell of Changbai Mountain...

The fear soon spread, and Hauge even killed two Manchurian cavalrymen who had retreated for fear of retreating.

It's just that there is no way to maintain this phenomenon, and Hauge has no choice but to personally lead people to press forward, and after all, he relied on his prestige to suppress the soldiers who were already on the verge of collapse.

After several consecutive shots, the revolver must be replaced with the barrel, even if it is cooled with cold water, it has reached the limit of use, which is also the dilemma caused by the mixed steel before the production is completed, which is also the fundamental reason why Chen Cao has not expanded the use of the revolver, and all the finished revolver guns and barrel and other accessories have been given priority to the Tianxiong army troops in the Middle East battlefield.

It is precisely because of this time difference that Hauge's troops can once again advance to the front, but now the entire battlefield is extremely chaotic, and Hauge also knows that if he can't defeat the Ming army in front of him in a short time, it will bring him a huge rout, and he can't afford this rout anyway.

"Naha led his troops to attack the left flank of the Ming army, Li Sizhong led his troops to attack the right flank of the Ming army, and the prince led the elite of the two yellow flags to attack head-on."

Wang Shi shouted: "King Su, the gap between the firearms of the Ming army, the great opportunity, cannot be delayed." ”

Hauge also knew that the war was imminent, and it was completely impossible to gather all the soldiers and horses on the entire battlefield to attack with their lives, and the defeat of Bolo in front of him and the soldiers and horses killed in the previous battle had reached more than 10,000 people, and there were only less than 40,000 people who could command on his side, which was the final blow.

"Warriors of the Qing Dynasty, for the sake of Manchuria, kill the enemy..."

"Kill... Kill the enemy..."

After the hoarse roar on the battlefield, according to Haoge's deployment, 40,000 people divided into three ways and quickly rushed towards Chen Cao's side.

Seeing this, Li Zongcheng, who arrived behind Wang Xiaojie, immediately ordered the whole division to enter the combat position and block the attack in batches according to the three-stage shooting.

The fierce gunfire rang out again, but the flintlock muskets had to attack within one hundred and fifty paces, and after the third firing rotation, the Qing cavalry was only less than fifty paces away from the position, and it was within easy reach.

Li Zongcheng immediately stood out of the queue, drew his long knife and shouted: "The whole army is on the bayonet and ready for white-knuckle battle." ”

Because Chen Cao was behind them, Li Zongcheng didn't care much at this moment, and personally led the guard company forward, thousands of soldiers crossed the machine gun position, and the main and deputy on the position were nervously putting the barrel on it.

Hauge was also charging, when he saw the Ming army crossing the position with a gun, his heart was overjoyed, the Ming army really only had the ferocity of that time period, and at this time it was simply self-defeating to block the war horse with human life.

Victory...

Just when Hauge was rejoicing in his heart, the troops in front of him had to slowly reduce the speed of their horses, because after entering fifty paces, the accumulated corpses of the Qing army and the corpses of the war horses had blocked the way of the charge, and some cavalry wanted to cross quickly but because of this obstacle, the war horses fell, and they were first killed alive.

Naha was charging from the left flank and arrived at the nearest position, and within thirty paces, he immediately shouted: "Dismount and kill." ”

More than 3,000 people dismounted in unison, brandishing long knives and rushing towards the Ming soldiers who were already arrayed.

The brigade commander in command suddenly shouted: "The whole army is ready, platoon guns advance." ”

'Bang bang... Bang bang ... Bang bang ... Bang bang ... Bang bang...'

'Bang bang... Bang bang ... Bang bang ... Bang bang ... Bang bang...'

'Bang bang... Bang bang ... Bang bang ... Bang bang ... Bang bang...'
