Chapter 433 The Battle of Foundation
Abatai's angry shout before his death did not make the slaves react. The leading slave looked at the other man: "Your Majesty...what do you mean by your words?"
"Let...we...take the prince back?"
The fighting in the distance has become fierce, and all the effective forces of the Qing army have launched a charge. Now there are only more than a hundred Goshiha protecting Abatai. As Abatai's trusted family slaves, they do not have to fight alone.
"In that case, Etai, go and tell Bei Ziye the news of the prince's death, and convey the prince's last words. We will protect the prince's body and return to the capital."
.
"How about it?"
Chen Cao asked as he ran: "Have the Qing army been deceived?"
Xin Zhao didn't know the situation, but when they met the Shenwu Army troops who had already formed their formation at the edge, Chen Cao was immediately relieved of the siege, and everyone detoured and retreated behind the Shenwu Army formation.
After stopping behind the formation, Chen Cao realized that this real 'failure' might have gone too far.
The infantry of the Yang Lian brothers were defeated the fastest. They fled in all directions, and the chaos was very complete. Among them were many Dingwu soldiers who were mixed with them and retreated. Among them was Yan, the commander of the Eighth Division who was injured and could not fight. Haru himself.
The great rout was blocked in front of the formation. Both the Yang Lian brothers and the rigorously trained Dingwu Army knew that they were not allowed to attack the troops in front of the formation during the rout, otherwise they would be killed without mercy.
When the torrent of defeated troops was about to reach the Shenwu Army's position, they all began to divide and retreat towards the left and right wings under the leadership of the Dingwu Army.
Bolo also charged very quickly. In order to avenge Abatai, he led the remnants of the two blue flags to charge the most fiercely when he and Hauge were charging together. When they were working hard to harvest the heads, they discovered that the two men in front of them were At a distance of more than a hundred steps, the firearms soldiers of the Ming Army were waiting in strict formation.
The firearms that he had never seen before made Bolo feel a little panicked, but he could clearly see that the Ming army in front of the formation was not equipped with artillery, which also gave them an opportunity to charge.
Bolo, who was still frightened, was also smart. He first asked three Niu Lu to charge towards Wang Xiaojie's formation with more than a thousand accompanying soldiers from the Eight Banners.
The sound of horse hooves rumbled, and more than 2,000 people mixed with more than 4,000 horses rushed towards Wang Xiaojie's formation. Before they reached a hundred steps, there was only a sharp whistle, and the thirty-door runner The guns fired at the same time, and the dense rain of bullets swept through the more than two thousand Qing troops like sickles, accompanied by the wails of war horses and the moans of knights before they died. Some Qing troops did not even make a sound. He died tragically from the bullets and was trampled by the hooves of the war horses one after another after falling off his horse.
Bolo was shocked. Fortunately, he was smart. These people in front of him were the Ming army who killed his brother. With this formation, it seemed that the Ming army had been prepared for it. Could it be that their defeat was intentional?
"impossible..."
Hauge reined in his horse and angrily scolded Goshiha, who came to report the news: "They were completely defeated. How could they still be prepared? It must be the reserve reinforcements prepared by Chen Cao. He told Bolo not to retreat. The whole army charged and captured Rush over while the Ming Ming Army muskets are reloading, hurry up..."
"twitter..."
There were more and more Qing cavalry. Although Boluo was very scared, he was still somewhat prepared, so he let the seven or eight thousand men gathered by the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty charge first.
Deputy General Li Xiukai was a member of the Li family in Liaodong. He was appointed as a cavalry general after surrendering to the Qing army. Due to the expansion of the war, General Li Sizhong of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty was beside Hauge, so he could only get deputy general Li Xiukai to lead the eight thousand Han Eight Banners cavalry.
When Bolo received Hauge's order, he immediately ordered Li Xiukai to launch an attack, and he ordered his two Zhang Jingfen to lead about 3,000 people to outflank him.
The barrel of the gun had just cooled down, steam rose up, and the water on the ground formed a mud puddle. Wang Xiaojie hurriedly ordered the machine gun deputy to carry the ammunition, and the rapid horse hooves rumbled accompanied by the horn.
"Ready to fight..."
This time there were obviously more cavalry than the previous times, and the charge of nearly ten thousand people was extremely ferocious. However, with the roar of gunfire, the dense rain of bullets once again formed a sickle, ruthlessly harvesting the lives of the Qing army's men and horses.
Li Xiukai was horrified. The Ming army's firearms were too fierce. If the fight continued like this, his men would not be able to reach the opponent's formation.
Seeing that the opponent's gunfire stopped, Bolo thought that the opportunity had come. He immediately ordered the entire army to charge, but what followed was continuous gunfire and white smoke rising from the position. However, Bolo could see clearly with his naked eyes. The firearms on the military position were not as powerful as the continuous sound just now.
"Rush over, rush over..."
"kill..."
“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-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 crisp and coherent sounds came one after another again. Bolo immediately reined in his horse. He clearly saw the Han Army flag cavalry and Zhenglan Banner cavalry charging in front of him being cut off layer by layer like wheat being cut, and the speed was very high. So fast, they were in front of him in less than ten breaths.
"Protect Mr. Beizi..."
"Protect Master..."
"ah..."
Bolo was very unlucky. At the last moment of his consciousness, he felt his head scattering like a ripe watermelon falling to the ground and exploding.
"ah..."
Next to him, Goshiha trembled and screamed. He witnessed with his own eyes the entire head of his master Bolo exploded. The dead Bolo's body was still upright and tightly clamped on the horse underneath him, headless. Corpses were wandering around, propelled by war horses.
Until the clear gunshots rang out again, even the Goshhars beside Bolo were killed or injured. In the end, perhaps due to the spirituality of the war horse, Bolo's body was not penetrated by bullets, but was swayed by the leisurely movement of the war horse. Then he walked towards the back of the position.
"ah..."
Frightened screams rang out, and I didn’t know who was shouting. Then there was shouting in Manchu. Someone shouted in Manchu that the Ming army had invited the devils from the hell in Changbai Mountain...
The fear spread quickly, and Haug even personally killed two Manchu cavalry who retreated without permission because of fear.
However, there was no way to maintain this phenomenon, so Hauge had no choice but to lead his men forward in person. After all, he relied on his own prestige to suppress the soldiers who were already on the verge of collapse.
After several consecutive shots, the barrel of the revolver must be replaced. Even if it is cooled down with cold water, it has reached the limit of use. This is also a dilemma caused before the hybrid steel is completed. This is why Chen Cao has never made the revolver. The fundamental reason for the expansion of the use of guns is that all finished revolvers and barrels and other accessories are given priority to the Tianxiong Army troops in the battlefields of the Middle East.
It is precisely because of this time difference that Hauge's troops can advance forward again, but now the entire battlefield is in chaos. Hauge also knows that if he cannot defeat the Ming army in front of him in a short period of time, his general will It was a huge defeat, a defeat he couldn't bear no matter what.
"Naha led his troops to attack the left wing of the Ming army, Li Sizhong led his troops to attack the right wing of the Ming army, and I personally led the elite troops of the two yellow flags to attack frontally."
Wang Shi shouted: "King Su, there is a gap in the Ming army's firearms. This is an excellent opportunity. Don't waste it."
Hauge also knew that the war was imminent. It was completely impossible to gather all the soldiers and horses on the entire battlefield to attack with all their lives. The defeat of Bolo in front of him and the number of soldiers and horses killed in the previous battle had reached more than 10,000. He himself Bian could command less than 40,000 men. This was the final blow.
"The warriors of the Qing Dynasty, for the sake of Manchuria, killed the enemy..."
"Kill the enemy...Kill the enemy..."
After the hoarse roar on the battlefield, according to Hauge's deployment, 40,000 people divided into three groups and rushed towards Chen Cao quickly.
The machine gun position was rapidly changing gun barrels, and the current gap could only be filled by flintlock guns. Upon seeing this, Li Zongcheng, who arrived behind Wang Xiaojie, immediately ordered the entire division to enter combat positions without waiting for orders from the emperor and Wang Xiaojie. Type shooting to block attacks in batches.
Fierce gunfire sounded again, but the attack distance of the flintlock gun must be within 150 steps. After the third shooting rotation, the Qing cavalry was less than 50 steps away from the position, and in an instant Available.
Li Zongcheng immediately stood out of the queue, drew his long sword and shouted: "The whole army has bayonets and prepare for hand-to-hand combat."
Because Chen Cao was behind them, Li Zongcheng didn't care much at the moment and personally led the guard company forward. Thousands of soldiers crossed the machine gun position. At this moment, the officers and deputies on the position were nervously putting the barrels of the guns on them.
Hauge was also charging. When he saw the Ming army crossing the position with guns in hand, he was overjoyed. The Ming army was indeed only as ferocious as that period of time. At this time, using human life to block the horses was simply asking for death.
Must win...
Just when Hauge was rejoicing, the troops attacking from the front had to slowly slow down their horses, because after entering fifty steps, the accumulated corpses of Qing soldiers and horses had blocked the path of the charge. Some cavalry wanted to cross quickly. In the past, this obstacle caused the war horse to fall, and he was thrown to death first.
When Naha charged from the left wing, he happened to reach the nearest position. Within thirty steps, he immediately shouted: "Dismount and kill."
More than 3,000 people dismounted, brandishing their swords and rushing towards the Ming soldiers who were already in formation.
The commanding brigade commander immediately shouted: "The whole army is ready, lining up guns and moving forward."
'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...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...'
