Chapter 406 Drinking Hate Jiangbei II
"The firearms of the Ming Dynasty are not ferocious things. They are not surviving under the iron cavalry of the Qing Dynasty. If they are placed on the plains, with only 5,000 cavalry, I can break through the 50,000 Ming people's army. I don't care. Down."
Wakda needed to brag to boost the morale of his subordinates, and he also needed to boost the bravery of the Manchus in front of the Baha tribe. After all, the Mongols were also a tribe they defeated.
Baha heard the words and said: "It's a pity that we are in the city and the battle formation is limited, otherwise it would not be as good as theirs."
"The artillery fire in Beicheng and Dongcheng has become more intense. Is Akito going to attack by force?"
Wakda was still struggling with the issue of a strong attack, and came on a fast horse: "Beizi, five thousand reinforcements from the Han Army have arrived, led by guerrilla Gao Jie."
"Let him come to me."
Gao Jie's braids are also newly shaved. Although there are green soldiers, the Han army flag counts as the Eight Banners, and those who join the Han army flag must shave their hair: "General Gao Jie, pay your respects to Wakda Beizi."
Wakda looked Gao Jie up and down, and then said sarcastically: "You look like a talented guy, but I don't know if it will be the same in a fight."
Gao Jie was furious, but luckily Xing was by his side. He quickly knocked on him and saw Gao Jie with a smile on his face: "The general has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he can still get in and out of battle formations."
After some teasing, Wakda said no more. After all, these Han people were needed now, so he said: "Why, where is your military supervisor?"
Gao Jie clasped his fists and said, "Back to Beizi, Commander-in-Chief Shi temporarily dispatched the generals to come to support. Lord Tong Jia did not assign a leader to our ministry."
Wakda thought about it carefully. Shi Guozhu and Xin Shan went to Beicheng to support them. It was indeed his intention not long ago to ask for support here, so he didn't think much about it. He thought Gao Jie's words were reasonable: "Okay, Ming Our troops suffered heavy casualties, and the spears, arrows, kerosene and other items that Ben Beizi brought earlier have also been used up. Do you have any of them?"
"Back to Beizi, our unit carries some kerosene and throwing weapons for a battle."
Wakda then thought about it and looked at Baha beside him: "Can Horqin still fight?"
Baha patted his chest: "Don't worry, Beizi, we will definitely be able to break through Akito's firearm array again."
Wakda shook his head: "The Han army flag should be raised first. First consume a wave of Mingren's firearms. They still have kerosene. After throwing them, first knock back their morale. You and I will attack from the left and right wings as usual. According to the previous In terms of tactics, they will only fail."
Baha nodded: "Yes, the Horqin warriors can take orders from Beizi."
When Gao Jie heard that he was being used as a suicide squad to block the muzzle of a gun, he was furious, but he did not dare to refuse directly, so he clasped his fists and said, "I will obey Beizi's instructions."
Wakda then looked at Gao Jie appreciatively: "You are quite sensible. If this battle succeeds, I will definitely carry you into the banner of the Han army and make you a slave."
Gao Jie suppressed his anger and clasped his fists: "Xie Beizi, look up..."
After taking over from Li Zongcheng, Shi Jiaming listened carefully to what the retired soldiers said, and then combined with the on-site inspection, he held a brief pre-war meeting with his staff officers, brigade-level, and regiment-level officers. The idea was still to focus on the next step. The enemy counterattacks according to the previous tactics.
"Most of our army's artillery is still outside the city. After the 33rd Division resisted, dozens of artillery were brought in. Twenty of them were assigned here. Previously, the Tatar army thought that we had no artillery or that it was because of the common people. Wait. Let’s catch them off guard soon.”
Shi Jiaming said and looked at his men: "Be careful of their fierce fire, oil and spears and arrows. Take out all the prepared door panels. Also, when each group pounces, take all the weapons they can use. Never give them to them." Those traitors can take advantage of this opportunity."
"yes..."
As soon as the 323rd Regiment arrived at the designated combat position, the forward observation post reported the arrival of Tatar reinforcements and the beginning of the counterattack. So the entire regiment put up the prepared wooden boards in preparation for the first attack.
Gao Jie was in the middle army. When the forward reported that they were still 300 steps away from the Ming army's position, they stopped, so he ordered several rounds of exploratory arrows to be fired.
Mr.
Gao Jie suddenly woke up after hearing this, and realized that the two of them had already surrounded him from the left and right wings, and they had to follow the previous fighting method. As for where the previous fighting method came from, Gao Jie himself didn't know, but now his wife mentioned it He nodded, and immediately thought of the Tatars' usual tactics of feinting in the center and rushing from left to right, so he nodded: "Listen carefully, if you have any greetings, just throw some fiery oil at it tentatively, and don't do it after you rush to the front of the official formation." No matter the casualties, follow my orders."
The cronies around him nodded in agreement.
Gao Jie drew out his long knife: "Attack..."
Like the previous encounter with the 33rd Division, the 323rd Regiment was hit by throwing weapons and heavy fire oil, but they did not know how gentle the current heavy fire oil offensive was compared to the 33rd Division before.
And in order to expand the results of the battle, the 323rd Regiment did not fire a single shot. It waited until the infantry troops rushed to a distance of only fifty steps away from them before firing the first shot.
'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...'
'Bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...'
Violent gunfire and ignited artillery struck mercilessly at Gao Jie's men. After the first round of attacks, two to three hundred people fell to the ground.
Gao Jie was anxious in his eyes, and when he looked at the two wings, Wakda and Baha had no intention of launching an attack at all.
Gritting his teeth and persisting, Gao Jie thought for a while and shouted: "Rush over quickly, don't stop, if you stop, you will die, rush..."
"Shoot... shoot quickly..."
'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...'
"Rotate...the back team rotates..."
"shot..."
'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...'
The battle line was very wide, and the limitations of the battlefield made it impossible for a brigade to fully deploy its troops. A maximum of two regiments was the limit, and according to the Qing army's tactics, once the personnel gathered densely, it was equivalent to being used as a target for the Qing army.
There were heavy casualties, but Gao Jie had already seen with his own eyes that the front was only a few steps away from the army's position, so he issued a death order and rushed in to engage them in close combat at all costs.
"The back row put bayonets on, the front row rotated, beep beep beep beep..."
A sharp whistle sounded, and the soldiers in the front who had finished the round stepped back. The soldiers in the rear row who were ready to step forward had already installed the three-edged bayonets, and they were just waiting to finish the shot and directly engage their opponents in hand-to-hand combat.
The commander of the regiment has already seen the distance of the enemy. If he continues to fire in turns, he will really become a living target.
Bang bang bang bang...
The soldiers in the front row collided with the rushing Qing army, and the two sides officially began to fight hand-to-hand.
Gaojie reined in his horse and heard the whistle of the arrow, which meant that Wakda and Baha on the left and right wings would launch an attack at the same time at this moment.
So he immediately pulled Xing's horse, then looked at the dozen or so close followers behind him and said, "Immediately give orders. After the Tatar cavalry rushes into the array, ignite all the fierce fire oil to cut off their retreat. Immediately, the front team retreated, and all the troops in the front team used their reserved spears and arrows to attack the Tatar cavalry and beat them to death."
In desperation, Gao Jie even came up with Mizhi's native dialect, but this did not affect his subsequent arrangements and performance at all.
When Shi Jiaming saw the Tatar cavalry coming from the left and right wings, he immediately ordered the troops to disperse and form formations, but the distance should not exceed ten steps. He was prepared to use strong firepower to block all the Tatar cavalry. In addition, he also arranged two regiments of soldiers. Someone would treat the enemy in his own way, divide it into left and right wings and surround it, trying to completely surround the Qing army with the numerical advantage of his 36 divisions, so that the follow-up troops could kill them together.
"Send signal arrows and prepare for hand-to-hand combat..."
Wakda was right in front of him because he saw clearly that the men and horses of Gao Jie's Han army were already fighting with the Ming army. This was the right time. Baha on the right also arrived at the same time, and two torrents of cavalry headed towards The 323rd regiment and Gao Jie's troops in the formation rushed over.
Gao Jie was overjoyed. As soon as the arrows were released, his men who had been prepared immediately threw the ignited fire oil at the Tatar cavalry who were on the way to attack, and it exploded immediately.
Wakda thought he couldn't find the direction here, and asked his minions to send a message to Gao Jie and wait for them to rush over before using the fierce fire oil. Who knew that more and more fierce fire oil was flying towards them? Ru Meng woke up and learned about Gao Jie's betrayal.
But now the troops were on the verge of an arrow, and there was no way out. Seeing this, Wakda could only hold back his anger and order the whole army to rush over quickly.
Gao Jie was well prepared and quickly ordered his troops to cut off the retreat routes of Wakda and Baha with fierce fire oil. In just one cup of tea, more than 10,000 Manchu and Mongolian cavalry were trapped in the middle of the 323rd Regiment's position. No.
Shi Jiaming didn't know why at first, but he suddenly realized that Li Yongfang's surrender was a good start. After all, his qualifications were the strongest among the Jianzhou Tatars, which was not the case for Jiannu. A good beginning: "Give me the order not to shoot at the Tatar puppet troops rushing into the formation. The whole army turned their guns and concentrated on attacking the Tatar cavalry. The entire 107th Brigade moved to the left wing to help them cut off the Tatar cavalry. A way out.”
Not long after, the two infantrymen in the formation who had been killing them suddenly stopped. Those who were holding Han banners were still confused, and saw that the officers and soldiers who were opponents just now were charging towards the cavalry on war horses with their muskets drawn. went.
