Just when Li Chengdong and Ma Degong went to recruit soldiers to serve as cannon fodder, Xu Dingguo, the cannon fodder of the Qing Dynasty, had already gritted his teeth and went to the front line.
Xu Dingguo is just a cannon fodder! He played a trick on Zhu Cixiang in the Ming Dynasty. He was used as cannon fodder and even his old nest was confiscated. When he arrived in the Qing Dynasty, he continued to be cannon fodder. First, he suffered a bloody blow in the C-shaped Fort in Qufu City, and almost lost his life.
This returns to Tuhe and continues to be ashes! And he was escorted to the battlefield by a group of coated slaves...
This is an old rule of the Qing army. When going into battle to kill the enemy, they are divided into dead soldiers and sharp soldiers. Now that the Eight Banners men are not charging, naturally the coated slaves will be the sharp soldiers, and Xu Dingguo's green camp will be the dead soldiers.
Xu Dingguo is the slave who raised the flag, the glorious Zhengbai Banner Han Army - that is Dorgon's slave! He really wouldn't be afraid of another Eight Banners uncle, but if Duduo wanted to kill him, it would be no different than crushing a bed bug.
So the old man had no choice but to take his two sons, Xu Er'an and Xu Erji, to the front line together, and also used the few servants who looked after the house to fight... These servants are now slaves among slaves. There are no more uncle soldiers, and the military pay you get is the same as that of ordinary green camp soldiers! The Qing Dynasty was not allowed to deduct the wages of ordinary soldiers to pay high salaries to servants.
Therefore, the food for Xu Dingguo's servants is better than that of ordinary Green Camp, and there is no special treatment.
Moreover, many of them left their families in Suiyang. I don’t know if they were harmed by Huang Degong’s people or by Hauge who now occupies Suiyang... I feel like crying just thinking about it. ah!
However, they themselves chose the path of traitors (the last time Xu Dingguo was defeated by Li Ruolian and ran to the land of the Qing Dynasty, they were all following him), and they have to go on even if they cry!
So now they are all neatly dressed, wearing helmets and cotton armor, holding swords and cards. They are in teams of twenty, guarding the pikemen of the Green Battalion for Xu Dingguo, forming more than a dozen square formations, slowly moving like a wall. Push towards the Ming army's position.
Xu Dingguo, his two sons, and a hundred of his most trusted servants walked behind more than a dozen phalanxes to supervise the battle.
Behind them, there were servants wearing yellow, white, and red cotton armor, forming more than a dozen square formations. Some of them also carried eight-power bows-not for shooting at the Ming army, but for It was used to shoot Xu Dingguo's green soldiers!
If they dare not fight, the Baoyi slaves will shoot them to death without the help of the Eight Banners Master!
Zhang Mingzhen had returned to the front. He looked through the gap between the two shield vehicles and saw groups of green soldiers approaching the trench ten steps away from him. He opened his mouth and shouted: "Shoot the arrows! Archers, shoot the arrows now!"
It's a bit embarrassing to say that the bamboo and wooden bows used by the Shandong regiment for military training really have no bow power. If they are used to shoot armor-piercing heavy arrows, they can only shoot a dozen or twenty steps. No matter how far they are, they will lose their power. .
Therefore, the archers who trained in the Shandong regiment did not practice long-range shooting, but practiced close-range throwing and direct shooting. And the throwing distance they practiced was only fifteen to twenty steps - so when the Eight Banners soldiers fired arrows just now, they couldn't fight back. They had to wait until the opponent was fifteen to twenty steps away before firing thousands of arrows.
Therefore, the trench outside the chariot fort is only fifteen to twenty steps away from the archers' position. Moreover, this trench is neither deep nor wide, so it is easy to cross. However, there was a row of anti-horse guns placed on the inside of the trench, which took some time to clear.
Just when the Xu family's green battalion soldiers rushed into the trench and prepared to clean up the horse-repelling guns, the bowstrings of 2,000 bamboo and wooden bows suddenly flicked down, and then arrows came from the sky.
The Xu family's green soldiers all wore cotton armor, with cotton on the outside and iron sheets on the inside to protect their vitals. However, the archers trained by the Shandong regiment all shoot heavy arrows. Even if they are wearing iron armor, they cannot guarantee that they can withstand these heavy arrows 100%, not to mention that the worthless Green Camp soldiers only have cotton armor filled with water.
So when the arrow rain fell, it immediately destroyed a whole area!
"nice!"
This is the emotion expressed by Duduo!
He was standing on the stirrup, holding a telescope to watch the battle. When he saw the wave of arrows from his opponent, he couldn't help but admired: "They can use the light bow to this extent, these Nikans are not weak!"
"Your Majesty," He Luohui said from the sidelines, "our Eight Banners warriors will fight back soon!"
Duduo smiled: "Of course!"
The archers of the Eight Banners Soldiers have been waiting for this moment! Before, they just threw the feather arrows out blindly. I wonder if there is anyone behind the Ming army's shield car? But now, it's certain someone was shooting arrows there. So the counterattack of the Eight Banners soldiers began quickly. They did not continue to hide behind the shield vehicle, but formed a formation in front of the shield vehicle and fired heavy arrows neatly. They could not see the situation behind the Ming army's chariot and fort, and no one could calibrate the arrow's landing point for them. Therefore, they could only shoot as "scattered" as possible, so that they could always hit some Ming army archers.
Because the Shandong regiment training army was established too short ago, there was not enough armor available. Archers who do not need to participate in melee combat are not qualified to wear armor. Even if the Eight Banners soldiers shoot light arrows, they cannot resist them.
The sound of arrows penetrating into flesh kept making a muffled sound. Zhang Mingzhen hurriedly turned his head and looked back, and immediately saw several archers being shot in the vital points and falling to the ground. Two of them were not seriously injured and were still struggling to get up. It seems that he still wants to continue fighting! The rest of the archers were still pulling their bows and shooting arrows desperately, and no one dared to take a step back.
The Eight Banners soldiers' eight-power bows could throw their arrows very far, and some of them even landed in front of Gao Hongtu. But the tall governor sitting on the horse, wearing strong armor, didn't blink an eyelid. Several of his soldiers hurriedly stepped forward, trying to protect him with their bodies, but the old man pushed him away: "Why are you panicking? I am wearing strong armor and we are far away. Are we still afraid of the arrows of the Tartars?" ?”
While he was talking, some green soldiers in front had already risked their lives to move away their rifles and climbed onto the car fort. This car fort was actually a shield car and an artillery car put together, with defenses piled up in front of the shield car. Bombardment. Because the soil bags are piled up on a slope, it is not difficult to climb. Soon the traitor soldiers from the Green Camp climbed up, but before they could stand firm, the javelin was already thrown!
The first few green soldiers who rushed forward were unable to dodge, and they were all pierced by javelins, and fell down screaming.
The javelin is the standard weapon for Ming saber players. A saber player should be equipped with two javelins. According to the provisions of the Comparative Martial Arts Rewards and Punishments chapter of Qi Jiguang's "New Book of Jixiao": To test the javelin, set up three silver coins. If the javelin is hit within thirty steps, it will be either high, medium or low. If the javelin is not bad, it will be considered familiar.
In other words, during training, the sword player must be able to hit a target the size of a silver coin thirty steps away! Qi Jiguang's requirements were really high. By the end of the Ming Dynasty, almost no one could meet his requirements.
Even many generals who lead troops have forgotten this requirement, and most sword players do not carry javelins - how can they have the strength to throw javelins if they don't have enough to eat?
However, Gao Hongtu had carefully read the "New Book of Jixiao" and also trained the regiment according to the above requirements. It's impossible to invest money from thirty steps away, but it's no problem to stab a traitor to death within ten or twenty steps!
Xu Dingguo also saw his soldiers being stabbed to death by javelins from behind, and his scalp went numb immediately.
These Shandong team training sessions were much better than he imagined... It was just that he didn't play well with firearms at the beginning, but later on he performed well! Shoot the arrow well, throw the javelin even better!
Such an army would be a powerful force if placed in the Ming army. It could at least be as good as the Qin army trained by Sun Chuanting! How could he defeat his own Green Camp soldiers?
"Dong dong dong..."
At this time, the urging drums sounded loudly! This is Duduo urging the attack... He doesn't care how many traitors die!
As long as we can win today's battle, how many traitors will it take?
If we can't win, what's the use of keeping a traitor like Xu Dingguo? Keep them as three ministers and four ministers?
