Chapter 319: Breakthrough
Azig immediately assigned tasks to his newly joined army, in terms of fighting, Azig had a very high level, he pressed the artillery of the Han army's Eight Banners forward, made a posture of capturing the breastwork, let Aobai and Kupilon each lead their troops, support the breakthrough and the direction of the breastwork, and after reaching the front line, immediately attack the big sand dunes, as much as possible to give the Shun army a sudden blow.
After the breakthrough, he handed over the task of circumambulation to He Luohui, the henchman of the two white flags, and after explaining, the teams made preparations.
Ao Bai was wearing armor, constantly baring his teeth, in the task of capturing Yang Gezhuang, he was injured, but he was still on the front line, at this time, Curb Bilong came to Ao Bai's side. Ao Bai immediately said: "Kubilong, you don't want to bring your own soldiers, what are you doing here." ”
"Aobai, have you found it, Azig and Dolgon sang and harmonized, handed over the task of attacking the fortified positions to us, and let the two white flags and the Mongolian eight banners go around to grab the credit and results." Suppilon said.
When Ao Bai heard this, he immediately became furious, grabbed Curb Pilon's arms directly, and almost lifted him up, Ao Bai said: "Maybe you are right, Curb Pillon, but now is not the time to say these words. We all saw the army of the feudal clan and the two blue flags in front, and thousands of people had died on the ridgeline.
The blood of these people cannot be shed in vain, and we must attack according to the orders of Azig, and this attack is for the sake of the Qing Dynasty, not for the sake of the Dorgon brothers.
Do you understand this? If you dare to dismantle the platform, you are demolishing the platform of the Qing Dynasty, demolishing the master's platform, and when you go underground, do you think the first emperor will let you go? ”
He was too frightened to say more, he dodged Aobai's eyes, and said in a low voice: "Okay, Aobai, I will rush ahead of you." ”
"As long as we rush fast enough and fierce enough, maybe we will be the ones who will capture the flag." Seeing that Suppilon was no longer entangled in self-interest, Ao Bai said in his ear.
Azig's plan was undoubtedly successful, when the army he sent pressed forward, Zhang Nai immediately sent his reserves to the direction of the earth slope and the breastwork, but then, the turn of the two yellow flags caught Zhang Nai off guard, two thousand elite Manchurian armor soldiers rushed to the Great Killing Hill, a fierce battle, and the rest of the Shun army could not resist the surging frenzy, and retreated, and the five thousand cavalry led by He Luohui immediately launched a charge.
His speed was very fast, the cavalry rushed up the big sand dunes with a whistle, and some of the armor soldiers with two yellow flags couldn't dodge and were knocked to the side by them, and the two yellow flags immediately scolded angrily, but He Luohui's men laughed, jumped their horses and raised their whips, and continued to attack, when He Luohui passed by Kubilong's side, the whip in his hand was loud, and he shouted: "Kubilong, thank you for opening the gap for me, and when I catch Zhang Nai, get a reward, please eat."
I eat meat, you drink soup ....... ”
He Luo's arrogant laughter gradually faded away, and he raised his fist with a loud shout: "Two yellow flag men, if you still have the courage, rush down with me." ”
The two yellow flags experienced some bloody battles, many people were injured, and after the fight, fatigue came to their hearts, but when they heard the humiliation of the two white flag cavalry, they were also filled with righteous indignation and got up one after another, but Ao Bai immediately ran over, grabbed the fist of the curbilon, and Ao Bai said: "Kubilong, don't be impulsive........ ”
"You told me that as long as we attack fast and fierce enough, we can cut and capture the flag!" Curb Bilon glared angrily.
Ao Bai pointed to the Shunjun camp behind the big sand dune and said: "See for yourself, Curb Bilong, you are not a fool, don't be impulsive to suppress reason, see for yourself, this is not a rout." ”
Behind the ridge is the old river channel, which has been converted into farmland, and the wheat that was originally planted here was harvested two days ago as fodder for the cavalry of the Shun army, and the horses of the Shun army were fattened and strong. And behind the old river channel, there is a row of fences, and behind the fences is the camp.
The fence was very high, but it was not strong, the cavalry threw the lasso out, and they could be dragged down by the momentum of the horses, and the large camp in the fence was already in chaos, in the tents, between the carriages and horses, the defeated soldiers and strong men fled in all directions, and the Qing cavalry killed them all in a disorderly manner, but in this chaos, the quiet Kupilon found that something was wrong.
The Shun army on the ridge had begun to retreat as the great sand dunes had broken through, and instead of fleeing, they had set up a thick phalanx, with the long card or spearman on the outside, and the archers, gunners, gunners, and some movable wounded inside.
There are many of these phalanxes, they are very mixed, and they are of different sizes, and some of them are simply circular formations composed of thirty or fifty people, but they are enough to prove the high level of combat quality of the Shun army. Among the phalanx, the one under the big sand dunes was the largest, with at least six hundred armor soldiers in a group, and the spears were like a forest, like a hedgehog.
This was the first reinforcement to arrive at the Great Dune, but it was still not in time, and when the cavalry appeared on the top of the dune, they formed a formation and then slowly retreated backwards, occupying a slightly higher point and defending on the spot.
And the Shun army outside the fence is not a place for Ao Bai to be afraid, as long as the artillery of the Han army flag crosses the sand dunes, these phalanxes can be blasted and killed, and what really makes Ao Bai and Kupilon feel that something is wrong is the Shun army camp.
The fence was very messy, distributed all kinds of large and small tents, haystacks and equipment, the strong men and the routs scattered under the impact of the cavalry, when the tent was knocked down, Ao Bai and others were surprised to find that the Shun army camp had formed six or seven large and small car battalions.
The vehicles in these car camps are large and small, the back is composed of baggage carts that transport grain, and the front is the shield cart made by the Shun army, surrounded by four in the front and three in the back, which are scattered.
The routs and strong men in the camp fled into it, but as the Qing cavalry approached, the place of entry and exit was immediately closed, but it didn't matter, those people could still get in from under the car, and when the Qing army got close enough, there was a sound of gunfire like popping beans inside.
Zhang Nai turned over and dismounted, entered the most central camp, and immediately said: "Take my big silk off, and after a quarter of an hour, hang it up again." ”
Immediately, there were personal soldiers to handle it, and with the closure of the car camp, the soldiers who came in threw away the broadswords, bones and other short-handled weapons in their hands, or picked up a twelve-foot-long spear, or picked up a three-eyed gun, stood on the shield car, and rushed at the passing Qing army for a while, and some tiger squat cannons and small Franc machines were also firing.
The car battalion was designed by Zhang Nai himself, he consulted a lot of Ming army officers, and arranged small artillery such as the Fran machine in the external direction of all the car battalions, so that they could fire at will, not afraid of hitting the friendly troops of the car battalion next to them, and the inner direction, it was arranged with all kinds of firearms such as three-eyed guns and fast guns, which were mainly excellent bird guns were selected by Zhang Nai and handed over to the guns for use, and things like three-eyed guns, not to mention soldiers, even strong men can be fired.
All the chariots have solid wood guards, more than five inches thick, and two inches thin, and they are not afraid of the blows of firearms such as three-eyed guns, and there are shooting holes on the guards, so as long as the soldiers see the Qing army passing by, they can fight indiscriminately, except for some guns that accidentally hit the shooting holes, they will hardly cause accidental injuries.
Although the Han army flag and the cavalry with the two white flags were mostly armoured, their horses did not have heavy armor, whether it was the lead bullets fired by the guns or the smoke and sound emitted, they would cause damage to the horses.
Those who did not see the situation clearly, rushed into the camp of the Qing army, was killed by the cannon is not much, but the cannon fired, the horse was frightened, and there were a lot of people who were thrown off the horse, if they got close, the spearman directly stabbed and killed on the spot, and there were people who tied iron hooks to the spear, saw the Qing army fall in front of the battle, poked out from under the car, directly hooked the armor, dragged the person into the camp of the car, handed over to the strong man, a burst of old fists, you can capture a person.
If the ridge defense was a whimsical idea of the generals of the Shun army led by Zhang Nai, then the Che battalion was completely a trap.
At the first time, the five thousand cavalry sent by Liu Zongmin had arrived, including all the armored cavalry, and in the forest to the east, the one thousand cavalry belonging to Zhang Nai also rushed out, and the general who led the cavalry found the reinforcement commander sent by Liu Zongmin for the first time.
The two generals are both fierce generals in the Shun army, one is Tian Hu and the other is Luo Dain. Tian Hu found Luo Dain and said: "General Luo, we can't rush into the camp of Che, Yihou ordered reinforcements from the left and right sides, don't fight chaotically, and force the Qing cavalry to retreat." ”
"It's weird, now you can kill a thousand more people." Luo Dain said that he shouted a lot, remembered Ruhou's advice, and ordered him to go to the right flank, and he must listen to Zhang Nai's command unconditionally, so he just shouted, but finally said: "Okay, I'll give you a thousand iron armor, I'll go from the west, and you go to the east." ”
Tian Hu had no opinion, because the west side was wider, and more soldiers and horses were needed.
The cavalry of the Shun army walked in a circle, and did not approach the camp of the car, but fortunately, when they passed two hundred paces away from the camp of the car, they still encountered a friendly attack, but fortunately they were far away from the firing range, except for causing some confusion, there were no major problems, and then, the ironclad cavalry was in front, and the formation was slowly advancing, and the archers were constantly hanging and shooting at the Qing army.
And the Qing army was attacked by the car camp was already chaotic, He Luohui was accidentally knocked off the horse, was dragged into the car camp and beaten into a pig's head, the Qing army has no command, more and more chaotic, driven by the cavalry of the Shun army like a sheep, and the car camp is also open at this time, the armor soldiers inside are holding spears to charge in formation, forcing many Qing cavalry to near the fence, at this time there is no space to turn around, can not pull down the fence, many people were stabbed to death, some cavalry climbed the fence to escape, was thrown spear stuck in the fence to death.
More Qing cavalry escaped from the camp, passed through the infantry phalanx at the front, and was killed by a round of attacks, the Qing army completely lost order, only cared about fleeing to the north, but there were many fortifications on the ridgeline, it was difficult to cross on horseback, most of them dismounted and ran, and some people galloped on horseback regardless of obstacles.
Tian Hu and Luo Dain covered up the killing, and together with the infantry led by Zhang Nai, they climbed the sand dunes and re-established the Daxu. At this time, Luo Dain knew why Zhang Nai didn't let the cavalry disperse the enemy, covering up all the way, and the fleeing Qing army rushed the regrouped Qing army on the ridge to the chaos, and brought back the news of defeat, so that the two yellow flags, two blue flags and the army under the domain that had just won and wanted to expand the results of the battle were immediately dispersed.
At this time, Luo Dain and Tian Hu rushed to kill, until the Chinese army sent by Dolgon arrived at the armor and cavalry, and then came back, and burned the remaining shield carts along the way, as for those gun carriages, they were lightly dragged back to the camp, and the fire door was nailed with nails heavily, as for the Fran machine, the cavalry did not understand the Fran machine gun, but they could take the Zi Gong away, without the Zi Gong, it was useless for the Qing army to have artillery.
This battle was fought from morning to afternoon, from the beginning of the Shun army's advantage, to the Qing army's breakthrough, and then to the defeat, and finally the Shun army won the victory, Liu Zongmin personally rushed to the right flank, saw Zhang Nai, gave him a big hug, regardless of Zhang Nai's body was full of blood.
"Victory in this battle is the first credit of the righteous marquis." Liu Zongmin said in front of everyone.
Zhang Nai did kneel on one knee and said, "If you don't believe in me, you won't be able to win." ”
Liu Zongmin's unconditional trust in Zhang Nai is indeed the key to victory, although Zhang Nai's plan is ingenious, but it is based on the premise that the right wing is broken through, and danger is inevitable.
"Yihou got up, come, sit down and talk." Liu Zongmin helped Zhang Nai, and unlike everyone else, Zhang Nai's face did not have the joy after the victory, but his face was not good-looking.
