Chapter 327: Fierce Battle (2)

Seeing that the Qing army's formation was chaotic and that his own firearms had caused a lot of casualties to the Qing army, Liu Zhaoji was very relieved, and immediately ordered the firearms in the army to continue to bombard.

Soon, the swan whistle sounded on the Ming army's position, and a large number of Baizi guns and small Francos opened fire one after another, a large number of cannonballs of one catty or five taels, and countless lead barrages, sweeping the Qing army in front.

In front of the Ming army car camp, the firelight flashed from time to time accompanied by thick smoke, looking down from Liu Zhaoji, the bottom seemed to be a fairyland mentioned in the play.

At this time, in the Qing army's military array, a large number of shield cars became abandoned vehicles under the continuous blow of the Ming army's firearms, and one hundred guns could hold two or three hundred leads, ten guns were two or three thousand leads, and one hundred guns were two or three thousand leads, and one hundred guns were two or thirty thousand leads, and there were dozens of hundreds of guns in the Ming army's array, which was enough to block the narrow strip in front of the Ming army.

More than 10,000 projectiles shot out, piercing the shutters of countless shield carts, piercing the leather on them, and piercing the thick quilts that covered them. In the sound of dense raindrops, the shield car shattered, the cotton wool flew, and the large strands of blood mist stirred up, and the Qing soldiers and unarmored soldiers behind the shield car were like dead grass in the wind and rain, constantly broken and fell down by the wind.

The projectiles fired from various firearms hit the Qing soldiers, rampaging through their bodies, quickly stirring their internal organs to pieces. Many people clutched their stomachs, looked at the large intestine and small intestine that flowed out, and let out an inhuman howl.

Seeing that there was a great chaos at the front of Dongnu and many casualties, Liu Zhaoji, the chief military officer of Liaodong Town, showed a smile on his face, and his military merits were in hand. At the same time, Liu Zhaoji secretly said in his heart: "Fighting with slaves and thieves, this firearm is still easy to use, no wonder Liu Yan's new army is equipped with so many self-generated birds!" ”

At this time, there were hundreds of shield cars in the Qing army's array, and the more than 100 in front were relatively sophisticated, but under the bombardment of the Franc machine and Baizi Gong, at least dozens of them had been destroyed, and the rest were also dilapidated. Moreover, under the fierce artillery fire of the Ming army, the archers and pushers who had lost their cover were in a mess, and they hesitated and did not dare to come up.

At this time, Liu Zhaoji frowned, and saw that the Qing soldiers and horses behind him were under the pressure of the sharp soldiers, taking advantage of the fact that his own car camp was shrouded in smoke and his vision was not good, he still pushed the relatively simple shield cart behind, rushed up screaming, and hurried into a hundred steps.

The thief's behavior is a bit unusual, it stands to reason that it should have been defeated a long time ago, and the casualties of the average thief are dozens or hundreds of people who will be withdrawn, what is wrong with this today?

However, at this time, the Ming army had the upper hand, and Liu Zhaoji just snorted coldly and continued to order all units to attack.

The swan whistle sounded again in the Ming army's formation, and this time the rockets in the car camp were fired, and those musketeers also began to prepare for battle. From the front of each car in the car camp, at the position of the cover hole, they poked out one fire gun after another, but most of them were three-eyed guns, and a few had bird guns, but they were all arquebuses.

These firecrackers are also divided into three layers, and they only shoot at those who are good at shooting in the front, and the rest are on the second floor, all of which are passing and installing sub-medicines.

They stared at the Tartar shields as they got closer and closer. Sweating under the scorching sun, the cotton armor on his body was steaming, biting his cheeks, just waiting for the order of the Chinese army. Behind them, the generals and officers were also roaring, and those who did not get the order were not allowed to fire their guns, otherwise they would be dealt with by military law on the spot.

Behind the gunners were a dense crowd of melee soldiers, with their heads wrapped in folded scarves, short armor, shields, broadswords, and spears waiting for them.

At this moment, some Qing soldiers suddenly flashed out of the shield car and opened their guns, and they were also equipped with a lot of various firearms, but the officers and soldiers of the Ming army still ignored them.

The Tartars liked this trick the most, they actually fired empty bullets, just to lure the Ming gunners to fire. As soon as they fired, they would rush up. The subordinates of Liu Zhaoji, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, have been in contact with the Qing army for a long time, and they know their way well, and the generals just listen to the orders of the Chinese army.

Just when everyone was waiting, the swans on the Chinese side blew again, and the Ming army's position was on fire again, with large strands of smoke spewing out, and the roar of guns was loud, and some Qing archers who had time to cover up in the future shot out blood arrows from their chests and fell backwards.

Even if the power of the Ming army's guns in Liaodong Town is not as powerful as the bird guns of the soldiers of the new army, but at this time, the Qing army has rushed to the front, and at a distance of thirty or forty steps, even the visor cotton of many Qing army's shield cars has been similarly penetrated, not to mention the relatively simple shield cars behind.

Liu Zhaoji watched all this from the top of the mountain, his face was already smiling, and in the smoke, he saw the Tartars over there running into a pot of porridge.

However, the drums of the Qing army were endless, and a large number of archers, under the cover of the shield car, continued to press towards the Ming army car camp.

At this time, the archers of the Qing army finally entered the shooting range, and began to draw their bows and release arrows, but there was a cover card to block, and they could not see the situation in the Ming army's car camp, so they all pulled their bows and arrows, and then shot back in the direction of the car camp.

For a while, the sound of the bowstring was loud, and the dense arrows flew towards the Ming army car camp, and the gunners and gunners were close to the cover, and the cold weapons in the rear were closely erected their shields.

The bows and arrows of the Qing army were all strong bows and heavy arrows, and the power of shooting at close range was very great, so the soldiers of the Ming army did not dare to take it lightly.

As a large number of arrows continued to fall, wave after wave continued, the Ming soldiers hiding in the car camp began to suffer casualties, many soldiers were hit by arrows and fell to the ground, and there were some commotions in various departments. However, fortunately, the generals of the various departments pressed in time, and there was no chaos.

By this time, the soldiers and horses of the Qing army had rushed to the front of the Ming army and began to move away from the horses in front of the formation.

The Ming army's guns were still firing, knocking many Qing soldiers to the ground, and the Franc machine and rockets were fired from time to time, and in the exchange of fire between the two sides, the Qing archers did not have the slightest advantage, and they could not advance an inch within 50 steps of the car camp, and suffered heavy casualties.

Finally, after firing for a while, the Qing army began to retreat, and Liu Zhaoji breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and it seemed that the battle was about to come to an end.

But suddenly, Liu Zhaoji saw smoke and dust rising in the distance, and there were a large number of Manchurian Tartars with red flags and white flags in heavy armor, and he saw those Tartar soldiers driving a large number of horses and rushing towards the Ming army chariot camp.

The eyes of these horses were covered with black cloth, and behind a large number of horses, there were waves of dead soldiers with red flags and white flags in heavy armor, and many Baya soldiers with bright helmets and armor followed, and they actually wanted to charge into battle with horses?

Liu Zhaoji couldn't help frowning, he never thought that the Qing army would spend so much money, and he was a little panicked for a while.

Seeing that the heavy cavalry of the Qing army was galloping wildly, the face of the Ming army in the car camp finally changed greatly, and at this time, Liu Zhaoji was also horrified to find that the Qing army also divided its troops and horses and began to attack the two wings of the Ming army.

On the left and right fronts of the Che battalion, there were smoke and dust billowing out, and a large group of Qing army iron cavalry was outflanking from both sides.

So Liu Zhaoji called two generals and ordered them to lead 1,500 cavalry each to fight, and they must hold the two wings of the army.

In the face of the charge of the Qing army's iron cavalry, the swan of the Ming army car camp roared loudly, and for a time the guns and cannons rang out, and the car battalion's Franc machine and rocket, almost no money, began to output frantically, and the Qing soldiers and horses in front of the battle continued to pounce, and the group of war horses also suffered a lot of casualties, and a large number of blood-soaked frightened horses rushed wildly.

However, the charge of the Qing army continued, and in the blink of an eye, it rushed to within a hundred paces in front of the Che camp. At this time, the Ming army's musketeers fired three more volleys, but under the pressure of the Qing army's heavy cavalry, these three salvos had become chaotic, and it was obvious that the army's morale had begun to waver.

"Boom!"

After a loud bang, the horses rampaged in front of the formation, rushing away from the rejecting horses in front of them in one fell swoop, and many of the horses began to go crazy after being injured, and in the frightened eyes of the Ming soldiers, they directly rushed away from the blocking chariot and rushed into the camp with a neigh.

And a large number of dead soldiers and sharp soldiers of the Qing army in the rear of the horse herd also screamed and came straight into the car camp.

"Kill slaves!"

Seeing that the battle situation was taking a turn for the worse, Liu Zhaoji was also red-eyed at this time, grabbed a drummer's side, and played the drum himself.

"Kill the Tartars!"

In the roaring sound of war drums, countless pikemen, sword and shield hands in the rear howled and pounced.

The pikemen formed a spear formation to block the onslaught of the Qing army, but in the face of countless war horses that had gone crazy, many Ming soldiers were knocked into the air and trampled to death. And those sword and shield men were also brave, rushing up to fight with the Qing army's iron cavalry, but in the face of heavy armor and iron cavalry, they had little effect.

For a time, the war was bloody and wrenched, and several places in the car camp that were washed out of the gap were densely crowded with Qing and Ming soldiers, and the two sides did not give in to each other, slashing and fighting hard, the smell of blood spread rapidly, and the hot blood continued to flow out of each other's soldiers, moistening the dry land.

At this time, the Qing army couldn't imagine that the Ming army in front of them was so tenacious, and they still fought to the death after rushing to the camp, and those Qing army heavy armor were undecided. After they rushed into the camp, they also lost the advantage of their horses, and there was no other way but to dismount and fight hand-to-hand faces.

At this time, Liu Zhaoji, the chief military officer of Liaodong Town, also personally led his family to participate in the battle, he danced a heavy mace, led his troops to roar and charge, and he was invincible.

The soldiers of the Ming army along the way saw that the main general was so heroic, and their morale was greatly boosted, and the fighting between the two sides directly entered the white heat.

Finally, the sound of Mingjin closing the troops came from the large array of the Qing army, and the various units of the Qing army soon retreated like a tide, and even the cavalry attacking the two wings also retreated.

Liu Zhaoji had already killed at this time, and seeing that the Qing army was defeated and retreated, he directly gathered the cavalry in the army, together with his own family, and rushed up on horseback to begin to cover the killing. Along the way, many Qing soldiers and horses were killed, and many wounded soldiers of the Qing army did not have time to retreat, and they also became the first level of military merit of the Ming army.

Liu Zhaoji led his troops to pursue for a while, and then returned triumphantly. At this time, the camp was full of blood, and there were moans of the wounded everywhere, Liu Zhaoji was used to seeing this kind of scene, and he was not too moved, at this time he was full of pride in his heart, this battle was roughly estimated, his own beheading exceeded more than 400 levels, this is an unprecedented victory, how not to make Liu Zhaoji excited?

"With this credit in hand, the position of the Liaodong General Army should be stable!"

At this moment, many generals came over, and they all asked for battle to continue to pursue the Qing army, in the eyes of everyone, this battle has been completely won, and it is too much to say that there are so many military merits.

Liu Zhaoji saw that the army's heart was available, so he reorganized all his departments and launched a pursuit. However, Liu Zhaoji was still more cautious, still chasing with cavalry first, and the infantry army followed up with a chariot battalion, and really cut down some fleeing Tartar infantry along the way, and captured a lot of weapons and baggage.

Liu Zhaoji led his troops to chase all the way to the foot of Jiama Mountain north of Xingshan, and the front did not receive a report at night: the remnants of the red flag and the white flag gathered on a small hill, they had no shield carts, and they were arrayed with shields, big swords, bows, arrows, and spears, and they were strictly guarded.

Liu Zhaoji snorted coldly and said to the generals: "Tartar knows that he can't run away, so he is ready to fight as a trapped beast!" ”

All the generals asked for battle, preparing to attack and annihilate this Qing army.

Liu Zhaoji was also full of confidence and was about to give the order to attack, when suddenly he saw that there was a big mountain next to this small mountain. On the top of the mountain, one after another large and small Hongyi artillery trucks were densely launched, and the muzzle of the cannon was facing the car camp.

"Ambush!"

As soon as Liu Zhaoji shouted this sentence, it was like the ground shaking the mountains, and at the big mountains, the thunderous cannons were endless, the thick white smoke was rising, and the Qing army cannons were whistling in.

The Qing army's chariot battalion, which needed to use heavy cavalry and horses to break away, seemed vulnerable under their artillery. The whistling cannonballs kept crashing into the chariots, easily shattering them.

Under the heavy fire of the Qing army's artillery, the chariots of the Ming army car battalion were torn apart, and sharp debris flew sideways, bringing serious casualties to the gunners behind.

With a loud bang, a large iron ball weighing more than ten catties happened to smash on a chariot, and with a "boom", the shutter and the hard vehicle material exploded, and the iron ball was wrapped in countless spikes and broken branches, sweeping this piece of the Ming army, at least more than ten people were bleeding, rolling on the ground and howling.

Another heavy cannon fell into the infantry position behind the chariot, and the large iron ball was fired, and at least a row of more than 20 people were all hit by the iron ball and broke their limbs, and the blood mist flew.

Some people died, but not completely......
