Chapter 432: Drinking Hate in Xuzhou II
'Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta...ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta...'
'Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta...ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta...'
'Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta...ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta...'
The sound of the revolver is different from that of rifles and flintlocks, because the high rate of fire makes the sound not dull, but very brisk.
Fifty rounds were fired in succession as Wang Xiaojie ferociously shook the revolver handle and fired out quickly. Due to limitations, only ten of the thirty revolver guns had been set up and fired successfully at this moment.
However, just these ten guns fired 500 rounds of bullets in less than thirty seconds. The dense rain of bullets swept past like a curtain wall. Coupled with the scattered rifles and flintlock lead bullets behind them, the charging people A Niulu army was wiped out before he even reached half the distance.
Even the war horse was torn into several pieces by the bullets.
"Cool down quickly..."
Phew...
All the water in the water bag carried by the army was poured on the barrel of the revolver, and a puff of white smoke also rose up. After firing fifty consecutive rounds, water must be cooled down. The limit is one hundred rounds, but in reality During the test, if you continue to fire fifty rounds without using water to cool down after fifty rounds, the chamber will explode midway.
Wang Xiaojie handed the gun to the team, then stood up and shouted: "The whole army marches together."
The death of three hundred people did not cause any fluctuations in the entire battle situation, but it still shocked the deputy general who was directly commanding him, so he immediately reported the situation to Hauge.
Chen Cao was finally stopped by Xin Zhao. He also wanted to charge, but reality did not allow it. The Qing army had ordered extended artillery fire and carried out indiscriminate strikes. In this case, if he was unlucky enough to be hit by an artillery shell, the consequences would be disastrous.
However, Chen Cao soon ordered the artillery array to retaliate with artillery. After all, his artillery was much more powerful than the Qing army, and the caliber of the artillery was not comparable to the Hongyi cannon equipped by the Qing army.
"Your Majesty, Wang Xiaojie's troops have arrived at the edge of the battlefield."
Chen Cao immediately stood up from the resting horse, and then said: "Quickly, let Wang Xiaojie's troops set up defenses on the east side immediately, and I will personally lure the Qing army to attack."
Whoa...
Chen Cao's banner stood in the wind, and the banner represented the location of the commanding general. Although Hauge was far away, he could clearly see the location of the banner on his horse.
"Your Majesty, the Ming Army cavalry has launched an attack."
Hauge looked at Wang Shi beside him and said: "Now the whole Xuzhou is in a fight. It is not that simple to end this battle. Look, Chen Cao launched the attack himself. Do you think it was him?"
Wang Shi saw the big banner moving towards them and shook his head: "The students think it's a scam. Prince Su, it's better to be cautious."
"Bolo, is what you said earlier true?"
Bolo shook his head: "Prince Su, we are cousins."
Hauge nodded in agreement. They were both descendants of Aixinjueluo. Abatai and Hauge's father, Huang Taiji, were still brothers. Their relationship as cousins made it impossible for Hauge to think that Bolo was telling lies.
So Hauge drew out his long sword and scolded: "Since the emperor of Ming Dynasty is not afraid, what do we Manchu warriors have to fear? Blow the trumpet and charge."
The whimpering horn sounded, and the banner belonging to Hauge also began to move. Chen Cao was on the way to charge, and he was overjoyed when he saw Hauge moving. His hand holding the spear trembled unconsciously.
Chen Cao has preliminarily concluded that his probability of winning this battle has changed from 50% to 70%, provided that Hauge is fooled. Obviously, Hauge was fooled.
When the two sides fought again in the middle of the battlefield, both sides found that the other side had used all its strength from the beginning. The casualties increased and the morale of their opponents also changed somewhat.
The sound of gunshots, cannons, bowstrings, and crossbows came one after another, and the shouts of killing never stopped. From the beginning of the war to now, the two sides have been fighting for more than two hours without rest. The soldiers on each side have tightened the fatal pain in their heads. string.
Chen Cao did not directly fight with Hauge, but his plan was to fail and lure Hauge to launch a counterattack. However, this failure must be a real failure, and it must be a disastrous defeat.
"Let Hauge discover that Xuzhou is another Saarhu."
This is Chen Cao's idea. Although he has not personally experienced Sarhu, he can still know from Yuan Shizhong's mouth how big a blow that battle was to the Ming army.
While running, Chen Cao looked at You Shiwei, who was a horse seat beside him, and said, "I have only one request. Our army will be defeated soon, and the defeat will be out of control."
You Shiwei was completely stunned. If he hadn't been riding a horse, he might have fallen off his horse at this moment. What was the emperor thinking?
However, seeing Chen Cao's determined look, You Shiwei nodded: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the general will know what to do."
If you want your army to be defeated so that your opponent cannot see the slightest flaw, then you can only have your army truly fail.
After the two charges, both sides were exhausted, but the Ming army was even more obvious. They rested for a while after fighting Abatai and then immediately launched a pursuit. After the current attack, the decline was clearly evident. on everyone's face.
"Protect Your Majesty..."
I don't know who shouted, and Zhao Xin immediately repeated it, and then immediately led the Jin Yiwei men to surround Chen Cao, and then started to move back.
You Shiwei immediately discovered the opportunity, so he whispered twice in You Shilu's ear, and then immediately led You Shigong to charge.
With the help of advancing and retreating, it was enough for the soldiers to realize that our own cavalry was no longer useful.
The attack is to cover the retreat, and to retreat, of course, the charging emperor must be withdrawn first.
Hauge clearly saw the situation on the entire battlefield. Although he felt it was a scam, the opponent's fierce attack was enough to prove that they were indeed going to retreat.
Hauge was overjoyed and immediately drew his sword and shouted loudly: "Kill, capture Chen Cao alive..."
"Capture Chen Cao alive..."
"Capture Chen Cao alive..."
The tens of thousands of people shouting in unison stunned everyone on the battlefield, especially the Ming army soldiers who had set up positions in various areas to block the attack. The shouts in unison made them all confused.
Was the emperor defeated?
Morale has been hit, as evidenced by the fact that the groups of Jin Yiwei gathered together and were quickly evacuating to the edge of the battlefield.
Moreover, the large banner representing the emperor is also slowly leaving, which is definitely unusual.
The Dingwu Army and the Shenwu Army are strictly trained. The idea they accepted at the Qingpu training ground is that they are on the battlefield. If they do not receive an order to retreat from the peak, no matter what happens, they cannot retreat without permission. Those who disobey the order will not be ignored. All military positions, big or small, will be punished according to the crime of escaping from battle and executed immediately.
What made Hauge even more determined that the Ming army failed was that the Ming army's firearms soldiers who were blocking on the spot suddenly ran out of the trenches or ditches one after another, desperately blocking the cavalry.
"Hahaha, Chen Cao failed, he really ran away..."
Even Wang Shi was so excited that all the infantry came out of the trenches to fight hand-to-hand with them, fighting to the death. However, their purpose was of course to cover the retreating emperor Chen Cao.
"Warriors of the Qing Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty was afraid, and the Ming Dynasty retreated. Let them taste the failure of Saarhu again, kill...kill...kill..."
Hauge's highly inflammatory remarks made the people under his command feel as if they had been given a shot of chicken blood. They waved their swords and shouted, and more than 100,000 Qing troops launched a full-strength attack.
Even Hauge took action himself and started a pursuit with elite troops carrying two yellow flags.
After a wave of cavalry shooting, the soldiers of the Dingwu Army who ran out of the trenches to 'block' the Qing cavalry under unknown circumstances used their bodies to block the horses one by one, resulting in incalculable casualties.
Even Song Che was brought in. He only had one idea now, try to preserve the effective strength of the Dingwu Army. Once the battle in Xuzhou failed, the place of fighting again would definitely be in Huai'an.
Huang Degong and Lou Xingye had been together, and suddenly they discovered that the battlefield situation had changed dramatically. All the Qing troops were dispatched, and the cavalry charged like crazy toward the western battlefield. The only people they directly faced were the infantry of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty. Death.
"Old Huang, something happened to Your Majesty?"
Huang Degong didn't hear clearly. He shook his head: "I don't know. I just heard that His Majesty was defeated."
Just as Lou Xingye was about to have an attack, Song Che's order came: "Two division commanders, the military commander issued an urgent order to immediately take their respective men to retreat to the southwest."
"broken..."
Huang Degong was discouraged, and even Song Che ordered them to gather in the southwest. Then the war led by Chen Cao on the west battlefield would have failed, and something big must have happened.
"Old Huang..."
"Old Lou, listen to the order, His Majesty's safety is important, hurry."
Chirp...
After a screeching sound, the flare flew into the sky, which was the signal to retreat.
On the battlefield, various combat units began to take action one after another, and the troops on the frontline battlefield began to take turns to retreat in accordance with the established tactics.
This situation also gave the Qing army great encouragement. The changes in the Ming army's retreat were enough to prove that the Ming army was defeated.
Ji Erhalang was at the back of the battlefield. When he saw signs of the Ming army's retreat through his telescope, he also discovered this major change, so he ordered the gunners to stick to their positions, and he led a mixed force of 10,000 infantry and cavalry to coordinate Haug's cavalry attacked.
The war suddenly went downhill, the Ming army was defeated, and the Qing army loudly...
Abatai, who was in a coma, was awakened by the loud shouts of killing. He was shot in the midsection. The bullet did not penetrate his body, but stayed in his body. The heavy external force made him comatose. In addition, he suffered from blood loss. Much, obviously, he's just lucky to be alive now: "What happened... happened... something... happened..."
"Master, the Ming army was defeated. Prince Su and Prince Zheng led the charge..."
Abatai was stunned, then spit out a mouthful of blood, and shouted with his last strength: "Quick...quick...let them retreat, cross the Yellow River...cross the Yellow River..."
