The ruins of the Great Wall were filled with gunpowder smoke. From west to east, more than 10,000 gunmen from the New Army's front battalion relied on the defense lines on the wall to fire continuously at the Han army's flag soldiers and horses forming formation below. The intensive firepower caused Shi Tingzhu to be stunned. All casualties were in disarray.
The soldiers and horses pushing fifty artillery pieces in front of the military formation had all collapsed at this time. Those gunners who were "regarded as treasures" by Shi Tingzhu became the "key focus" of the officers and soldiers of the New Army's front camp. After a round of volleys, they were all killed!
"Fire!"
Shi Tingzhu's preparations for this attack were not inadequate, and he specially mobilized shield soldiers to protect the artillery team in front. However, in the face of countless volleys of flint-haired bird cannons, there were also thunderbolts thrown condescendingly during the period. Those Han military flags The shield soldiers couldn't resist it at all, and they quickly collapsed.
The five thousand gunmen under Shi Tingzhu were also hit hard at this time. They were shot and killed by fierce firepower at a distance of 80 steps from the Great Wall. The military formation was abandoned after holding on for two rounds. More than a thousand corpses collapsed backwards in embarrassment.
These traitorous soldiers didn't even last long enough to get within their firing range before they were defeated by the gunmen from the front camp of the New Army!
Shi Tingzhu looked at the fleeing fire gun soldiers, and his heart was bleeding. These were the elites he had worked hard to build, but when faced with Liu Yan's new army, they were still helpless.
"The firepower in Liu Yan's army is stronger than before. How many cannons does his battalion have? Five thousand or ten thousand!"
Shi Tingzhu couldn't understand. He didn't know that there were more than 12,000 soldiers in the former camp, and almost most of the soldiers were equipped with muskets.
Including the guards, there were at least nearly 11,000 muskets that could participate in the volley. Such firepower and ultra-long range had already formed a crushing force on the Qing army.
"What a shame, this is a mountainous area. We can't bring a shield chariot up here. Otherwise, if I let my five thousand gunmen come forward and shoot at each other, the outcome will still be uncertain!"
Shi Tingzhu could only "drink his hatred" at this time, slowly retreating with his still intact 10,000 hand-to-hand combat troops, and then wandering a hundred and twenty steps south of the Great Wall ruins, not daring to continue the attack, without Dorgon Even if ordered to do so, they would not dare to lead their troops to withdraw.
Soon, Yibai sent someone to urge him and ordered Shi Tingzhu to attack immediately in order to cover the 12,000 cavalrymen from Mongolia's Zhengbai Banner.
At this time, Yibai and his 12,000 Mongolian soldiers have been assembled. Everyone is wearing armor. The 4,000 people in front are all elite archers who use riding bows. They only need to advance to within 50 steps to attack Ming. The army launched an arrow rain attack.
Yibai looked at Shi Tingzhu who was lingering in front and cursed angrily: "A broken Great Wall defense line has been unable to be attacked for so long. What are the artillery and muskets in Shi Tingzhu's hands for?"
Because the distance was too far and the mountains were densely populated with trees, Yibai did not know the specific situation ahead at this time. He only knew that Shi Tingzhu led his troops to retreat. He thought it was Shi Tingzhu who was afraid of fighting, so he shouted to complain to Dorgon. .
But before Yibai could send people to rush there, he received Dorgon's order: lead his troops to climb the mountains to the east, bypass the Great Wall defense line and attack northward!
"Haha, Prince Rui has a good plan. Han dogs like Shi Tingzhu should be used as pawns to attract the firepower of the Ming army!"
Say it, eh
Bai ordered the 12,000 soldiers and horses of Mongolia's Zhengbai Banner to move quickly to the east. With the help of the cover of high mountains and dense forests, they quickly rushed towards the depths of the mountains.
"What?"
At the same time, Shi Tingzhu also received Dorgon's order to attack the Ming army's defense line at all costs!
Shi Tingzhu was so angry that he almost cursed Dorgon. The words were already on his lips, but luckily he held back in time. He immediately ordered all the shields in the army to be gathered, equipped with a thousand melee soldiers, and then pushed these thousand people Attack forward, with the whole army following behind and advancing rapidly.
"Use a thousand lives to advance within fifty steps!"
This was Shi Tingzhu's plan. At this time, the remaining three thousand gunmen had been regrouped, following one thousand shield-wielding hand-to-hand combat soldiers. Shi Tingzhu led nine thousand soldiers and horses to kill them.
On the beacon tower, Chen Xun looked at the white flag soldiers and horses of the Han army swarming down below, and said doubtfully: "These traitor soldiers are so frustrated that they are crazy? Why are they so brave today?"
Immediately, more than 10,000 bird cannons in the front camp of the New Army began to roar again. The thousand Han army flag shield soldiers who rushed to the front almost fell to the ground one by one, and were immediately trampled by their companions swarming from behind. .
The gunmen were so frightened at this moment that they opened fire one after another when they were still sixty or seventy steps away from the New Army's defense line. Even if they couldn't hit the New Army soldiers in the defense line at all, they could dispel some of the fear in their hearts.
"Accelerate the charge!"
Shi Tingzhu roared angrily and waved the sword in his hand. He looked brave from a distance. Of course, it would be even more perfect if you ignore the pig tail on the back of its head.
Chen Xun frowned slightly when he saw this, and looked at the messenger next to him.
Said: "Order all ministries to be more vigilant. The Tatars must have a conspiracy. These traitor soldiers are too abnormal!"
"yes!"
At this moment, to the east of the defense line, more than a dozen Ye Bushou from the right side of the front battalion were searching in the dense forest.
The location of everyone was a few miles northeast of the Great Wall defense line. Listening to the sounds of fighting and the roar of firecrackers in the distance, everyone felt itchy in their hearts.
"Captain, everyone else is eating meat on the defensive line. Our team is here to drink from the northwest wind. When the time comes to discuss our merits after the war, I'm afraid we won't even be able to make it to the first level!"
The captain who led the team was already depressed. When he heard the complaints from his men, he immediately reprimanded: "The generals have said that there is only a division of labor in the army, and there is no hierarchy! We patrol around the defense line to prevent the Qing Tatars from getting around. Sneaking over from the road is as important as confronting the enemy head-on, so cheer me up!"
A young Ye Buzuo curled his lips and said: "Captain, do you believe these words? In this damn place, apart from the mountain wind blowing on your face like a knife, what else is there? Where are the Tatar soldiers? …”
Halfway through the words, the young Ye Buzuo's eyes widened, a gurgling sound came from his throat, and then he fell to the ground on his back, with an arrow stuck in his chest and neck!
"Enemy attack!"
"Tatars!"
The remaining Ye Bu Zhou soldiers were grinding their steel teeth into pieces at this time. The damned Tatars really came around. Everyone looked for cover and used various weapons such as blunderbuss, swords, big sticks, axes, and three-eyed blunderbuss. Take it in your hand.
The New Army's Ye Bu Suan is the same as the Ye Bu Suan of other Ming army units. In addition to the standard equipment in the army, they will also be equipped with some more
He is a handy weapon, so on the battlefield, Ye Bushou's weapons and equipment appear to be diverse.
At this time, the captain hid behind a big tree, crouched down and looked around. He saw that in the mountain forest to the south, there were densely packed Tatar soldiers everywhere, and his expression suddenly changed.
"It's Zhengbai Banner, the Tatar soldiers of Mongolia's Zhengbai Banner!"
"What should I do, Captain!"
At this time, everyone looked at the captain. The captain was not very old that night, at most in his early thirties. At this time, he gritted his teeth and said: "Fire the trumpet arrow!"
One Ye Bushou hurriedly took out a crossbow with a special crossbow arrow on it. There was a gunpowder bag in the arrow part. In addition to gunpowder, there was also bright red powder inside.
In the blink of an eye, the horn rocket shot up into the sky, and after an explosion, a striking red color appeared in the sky.
Then the captain pulled one of his subordinates over and said, "Go back immediately and report the news. Our front camp is temporarily unable to send troops. You should go north immediately to warn the second battalion of the garrison!"
Na Ye Bu Sheng roared angrily: "Go away, I want to stay here and fight to the death!"
"shit!"
The captain roared angrily: "You just had a son before the expedition. Why do you want your wife to be a widow? Get out of here!"
That night, I was full of tears. I braved the arrows of the Tatar soldiers and rushed north, shouting: "Everyone is alive! Wait for me to come back with reinforcements, wait for me to come back!"
"Ha ha!"
After seeing off the "messenger", Captain Ye Bushou looked at his companions around him. At this time, there were only thirteen people left: "Brothers, if we don't leave, kill!"
"The scenery here is nice, I will die here, kill the Tatars!"
"Kill them,
kill! "
After thirteen nights, they all began to fight back. Bird cannons, three-eyed cannons, hand crossbows, bows and arrows, and various long-range weapons were aimed at the surrounding Mongolian Tatar soldiers, shooting down seven or eight of them in an instant.
But the rain of arrows from the Mongols was even denser. There were almost hundreds of people shooting at this side, and immediately two people fell down after being hit by arrows.
"Kill!"
Captain Ye Bushou stepped forward with his shield and slashed a Tatar soldier to death with a knife. Then he flew up and kicked the crotch of the Tatar soldier next to him. The Tatar soldier immediately fell to his knees with a howl and mouthed. There was a whimpering sound that didn't sound like a human voice.
At this time, a large number of Mongolian soldiers had already rushed forward, and the rest of the Yebushou soldiers also roared and rushed forward to fight. Everyone began to fight for their lives, just like tigers descending from the mountain. A dozen people rushed towards thousands of Mongolian soldiers.
In the distance, Yi Bai looked at the fierce battle ahead with a horrified expression on his face: "Aren't Liu Yan's subordinates afraid of death?"
Immediately, Yibai showed an angry expression again. His army had been discovered by these more than ten nights, and it was very likely to attract a large number of troops from Liu Yan's tribe. The hatred in his heart could not be increased: "Gather the archers and shoot for me." Kill them!"
"kill!"
Captain Ye Bushou killed another person, then turned around and roared, immediately scaring away the two Tatar soldiers who were preparing for a sneak attack. He was about to take advantage of the victory and charge in, but was hit by two arrows. His body was suddenly stunned, and the surrounding people were stunned. The Tatar soldiers swarmed up and cut his body into pieces with knives.
At this time, after being killed by the arrows of the Mongolian Tatar soldiers, only one of the dozen or so Yebu soldiers was left. The Yebu soldier had several arrows stuck in his body and was leaning against a dead tree. The sword in his hand has been broken,
Don't know where it fell.
The surrounding Mongolian soldiers surrounded him one after another, seeming to want to capture him alive. At this time, because Liu Yan's new army has strong combat power and captures a new army head, he can be promoted to one level in the Qing army. If he is an officer in the new army, he can even directly get a future and get a super promotion.
And if the soldiers of the New Army are captured alive, the credit will be even greater than beheading, because since the rise of Liu Yan to this day, the Qing army has never captured even a soldier of the New Army alive!
"Surrender and keep your glory and wealth!"
A Baya La soldier from Mongolia's Zhengbai Banner spoke in twisted Chinese.
The man who stayed up all night laughed loudly, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. He then took off the fire stick from his waist, and at the same time took out a thunderbolt from behind, and quickly lit the fuse.
"Become a slave? I would rather die!"
In an instant, under the horrified gaze of the surrounding Tatar soldiers, the thunder exploded. The Ye Bushou was instantly shattered into pieces. A dozen or so Tatar soldiers around him also screamed and fell to the ground. At least four of them were killed. Killed on the spot and injured more than ten people!
When Ibai came here, he saw the minced meat on the ground and smelled the pungent smell of blood. For some reason, he immediately decided that this battle was unwinnable.
"What kind of evil do we, the warriors of the Qing Dynasty, face? Liu Yan's troops are so evil!"
