"All Green Camp soldiers listen to the order. Rush over and kill all the rebels. Everyone will be rewarded. Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed without mercy." When the Green Camp soldiers could not stop the retreating Xiang Yong, they only heard the sound coming from behind the Green Camp soldiers. loud command.
At this time, if the Qing army allows this unfavorable situation on the battlefield to develop, the Green Camp soldiers will definitely collapse along with Xiang Yong, and all previous casualties and efforts will be in vain.
As the orders came from behind, the green camp soldiers and the country warriors passed each other one after another. Since the casualties in the previous battle were carried by the country warriors, the damage suffered by the Green Camp soldiers was really minimal.
As the Qing troops intertwined, the distance between the two armies narrowed again.
"The musketeers obey the order and retreat. The spearmen advance." Seeing the approaching Qing army, the bandit suppressing army also began to change positions.
Originally, the musketeers could also use bayonets for melee combat, but the muskets would become extremely hot after being used for so long, which was not conducive to melee combat.
It would not be cost-effective for the musketeers to damage their guns in hand-to-hand combat with bayonets. After all, the muskets of the bandit suppressing army were not luxurious enough to be damaged "willfully". Unless they are forced to do so, as long as there are pikemen, the bandit suppressing army does not need the pikemen to give priority to the bayonet attack.
"Haha... The anti-thief musketeers have retreated. They can't hold on any longer. As long as they rush over and fight hand-to-hand, victory is at hand." Some green camp generals who rushed ahead waved their sabers and shouted loudly to encourage morale.
Not only these Green Camp generals, but also Fu Heng and others who were watching were in a good mood.
"Who said that the rebels' firearms are so powerful that their tactics cannot be broken? Under the leadership of General Fu, who is both wise, brave and wise, won't we break the rebels' firearms now?" Zhang Zewu, the deputy general of the green battalion, said with a flattering smile on his face. The casualties all over the place turned a blind eye.
"Haha... no. How powerful are these rebels? It seems that they are no more than that, which makes me worry in vain. Without the firearms, how can these Nikans be my Qing soldiers' opponents? They don't even need my Eight Banners If the disciples take action, the Green Camp soldiers will be enough to deal with them." Eight Banners General Atam He Yan also laughed and took over the words. He looked so happy, with no intention of covering it up.
"What General He said is true." Liang Yigui, the commander-in-chief of Green Battalion, echoed with a smile on his face.
Although Atamu He Yan's words were not pleasant to listen to, the situation was stronger than the people. You have to realize that you are inferior to others. After all, he was from the capital and was deeply loved by the emperor. If he didn't echo his smile, if he returned to the capital after the war and "accidentally" made some unpleasant remarks in front of the emperor, he would definitely be miserable.
"You guys, keep a low profile. The battle is not over yet, how can we take it lightly?" Fu Heng looked at the people around him who kept boasting, and said with some disdain, with a smile on his face.
"Tiger…"
"Tiger…"
"Tiger…"
After the musketeers retreated, the pikemen behind them shouted and marched forward with spears and shields in their hands, with a majestic momentum.
"Kill..."
The green battalion soldiers who rushed forward saw all the musketeers on the opposite side retreating, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. He yelled and ran over to embolden himself.
At this moment, the spearmen of the bandit suppression army had already set up a hedgehog formation and were waiting for the arrival of the Qing army.
The rows of spears protruding from the shield were neat and powerful, and their cold spearheads shone brightly in the sunlight.
This formation can be attacked or defended, but it is difficult to break.
However, at this time, the green soldiers rushing to the front were no longer allowed to stop. Not to mention the bandit-suppressing army ahead, even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, we still have to rush through. If you stop rashly, you will either be hacked to death or overturned and trampled to death.
Among the Qing army, except for the Eight Banners soldiers, their weapons and equipment were richer and more sophisticated. Green camp soldiers are mostly monotonous.
Because green soldiers have always been used as battlefield consumables, many of the green soldiers who were recruited did not even meet the generals who would lead them until the last day before the war.
It was precisely because they were not taken seriously that the Manchu and Qing court gave them either a Qing-made saber or a red-tasseled gun. Other miscellaneous weapons were extremely rare unless they were brought by themselves.
As the saying goes, an inch long means strong, and an inch short means dangerous.
Does the Qing army have a red tassel spear array? The answer is definitely yes. It's just that the Manchu Qing Dynasty was lucky, and they haven't encountered many capable enemies since the Nanming Dynasty. The enemies they encountered only needed to use green battalion troops to charge randomly, and the war would be over. Therefore, the Manchus gradually became accustomed to not using the gun array. After all, it was not necessary.
When a Green Camp soldier dies, throw the body into the pile of dead people, pick up the weapons, and recruit new troops. No matter how many people die, how much loss will there be to the court? As long as the weapons are there, you can have as many soldiers as you want.
However, the advantage of this kind of chaos and individual fighting is that it is easy to win and lose easily. If you encounter a weaker enemy, you will win in one wave. But when encountering a slightly stronger enemy, even the eight hundred infantrymen similar to Russia cannot defeat them.
"clang…"
A green soldier who rushed to the front of the pikemen waved his machete and deflected a spear that was stabbing him. He thought about going further but could not.
"Puff puff…"
The sound of many spears being inserted into the body was heard, and the Green Camp soldier took a few steps back.
"receive…"
"prick…"
"The shield bearer holds up..."
As the mechanical sound of the bandit-suppressing army on the opposite side came, the green battalion soldier came back to his senses and saw a mass of Qing troops falling in front of the bandit-suppressing army's shield. Blood flowed out, staining the grass red.
"Kill..."
The green battalion soldiers behind them were still shouting, but the killing in front of them frightened the people in front.
Originally, these green camp soldiers thought that the rebels were just bullying people with their firearms. As long as they got close to hand-to-hand combat, they would be defeated.
But
Everything is different from what you imagined!
"Ah...ah...ah..."
A Green Camp soldier whose stomach was stabbed fell to the ground, covering his stomach with his hands and screaming loudly. This miserable cry frightened the green battalion soldiers beside him into retreating.
"Is this really the fucking guy with muddy legs mentioned above?" Many people questioned.
After a few rounds, a vacuum zone was created in front of the spearmen's formation. There is no way to get close, no way to stop it. Those who didn't believe it lay on the ground motionless and howled, and some even kept retreating to save their lives.
"Shields advance..."
"Pikemen advance..."
As the green battalion soldiers continued to retreat, the spearmen of the bandit suppression army followed closely.
Rows of killings coming in parallel, and the bloody horrors of each made some Green Camp soldiers no longer able to bear the fear in their hearts. Many Green Camp soldiers began to flee back quietly.
With the three military equipment of the left, center and right in such a situation, the Qing army was on the verge of defeat.
The generals of the Qing army who were still smiling at the observation platform were suddenly stuck and stood there stupidly.
