"Chen Tai!"
"The slave is here!"
"This general orders you to lead my troops to cross this bridge!"
"嗻!"
Chen Tai was the son of Cherge and a native of the Xianghuang Banner. He once fought against the dog barbarian Yuan Chonghuan outside the capital, and then fought across the Daling River and conquered Bangdao.
During the battle with the Ming army, not only did he rush into the enemy's formation, but he also cut down a large banner flag and returned victoriously carrying the flag. He was also outstanding among the warriors of the two yellow flags.
Jueluo Baishan also valued Chen Tai's bravery, so he asked him to take the lead in killing the Eight Banners soldiers across the bridge to lead the way for the army.
If the Eight Banners soldiers of other banners can fight ten dog barbarians, then the combat strength of each warrior of the two yellow flags is equivalent to twenty dog barbarians.
The two yellow flags are the elite among the elite. They will not go out unless there is a big battle or a fierce battle. They must return in triumph when they go out to fight, otherwise they will embarrass the emperor.
"Ajibai, send two Niulu troops to cover!"
"嗻!"
The best are the best, and Jueluo Baishan, who has been fighting for a long time, is not blind, nor is he reckless. There is no way he can just let Chen Tai lead his men straight into the Ming army's position on the opposite bank with strong firepower.
Under the artillery fire, Chen Tai's troops were bound to suffer heavy casualties. Even though it was dark, the only way to charge was to cross the bridge, and there was no way to go around. To go back to a nearby place, you still had to cross the bridge.
Although the Eight Banners Soldiers under Ajibai are all slaves of his eldest brother Hauge, they are currently used to protect the yellow flag from artillery shells. Hauge is not the emperor yet, and now he has to solve problems for his emperor.
Let my men act as shields for Chen Tai?
Ajibai agreed with his mouth, but he had already scolded Jueluobaishan in his heart.
Not only did you seize the command immediately upon arrival, but you also used the Zhenglan flag to your death. Who do you think you are?
People with yellow flags are warriors, but people with blue flags are not warriors. Should they die?
The two sides are just wearing different colors of armor. If they exchange clothes, their combat power will not be reduced at all.
In addition to the large number of people in the two yellow flags, everyone is like an uncle, and they don't need to look at the people in the other flags.
In the words of Gou Manzi, this is called "dogs fighting against human power"!
Aji went down to organize the manpower, and after some coordination, he managed to gather nearly 600 people for Jueluo Baishan.
It's just that there are only about a hundred warriors who really belong to Zhenglan Banner, and the rest are slaves of the Han army.
Anyway, the number of people is gathered for you, as for the quality...
hehe!
Let’s wait until we cross the bridge!
Ajibai has suffered four times in a row, and this time it is the turn of the reckless man Jueluo Baishan.
The barbarians on the other side would not let Chen Tai go and fire less shots just because Chen Tai was the one carrying the yellow flag.
Ajibai would not lead his troops to charge and kill him. Jueluo Baishan did not believe in evil, so it was just right to accompany him to watch.
The warriors with yellow flags had just arrived on the battlefield, and Chen Tai's troops had been following Jueluo Baishan.
The Eight Banners soldiers all saw the scene around them, but they did not feel any fear.
Wars have always been like this, and the barbarians are just resisting in the corner with their artillery.
Just like outside the pass, it only takes one charge to completely destroy it, and the Mingming Imperial City is within easy reach.
What is different from other flags is that in addition to waist knives and bows and arrows, each soldier of the Eight Banners with a yellow flag also carries two explosive mallets.
This object is imitated from Man Ming, but the explosion power is smaller, but if thrown just right, it can still kill and injure the dog barbarian.
In order to be able to light the sticks at any time, everyone tied a piece of coarse incense that was not easy to break and burned very slowly around their wrists. This also made it easier to use rockets to detonate the oil drums thrown by the barbarians.
These were all suggestions put forward by the Fourteenth Master Dorgon, and they were immediately adopted by the emperor, otherwise he would have suffered a hidden loss from the barbarian.
More than half of the warriors from the Zhenglan Banner and the Han Banner who charged before Chen Tai's troops had shields or door panels. This was better than just using armor to resist cannonballs.
There were no carriages or artillery, so it was just a head-on charge. Although our side had a large number of people, after his confidence was frustrated, Ajibai was no longer optimistic about this kind of strategy of blindly using brute force.
The west wind is blowing tonight, which is a good opportunity to set off smoke on the west bank to smoke out the Ming army on the east bank. It can also block the completion of the dog barbarians and cover the charge of our own warriors.
However, I did not bring the necessary equipment and used manpower to throw it. The effect was really insignificant. The Minzhai, which was not on fire and smoking, had a big effect.
The west bank of the Cao River, especially the two sides of Fuchengmen Street, that is, the area south of Chaotian Palace West Square and north of Jincheng Square has turned into a sea of flames.
In order to create chaos, expel the people, and break down the Ming army's defenses, the Qing army deliberately set fire to Min's house. As a result, the fire has grown bigger and bigger with the wind, and it has become difficult to contain it.
As the party attacking the city, the Qing army still had no obligation or responsibility to put out the fire. They also hoped that the fire would burn more and more fiercely. It would be better to burn the barbarians to death so that they would not take action.
The problem is that the fire is now more fierce than the offensive launched by the Qing army, and it is spreading towards the Cao River. The resulting thick smoke chokes the Qing army and makes them cough.
When Ajibai saw this, he was yelling and cursing. He didn't know which fool was the one who set the fire behind him. Didn't the thick smoke smoke him?
It's too late to say anything now. Looking at the intensity of the fire, it won't stop until all the wooden houses are burned down.
So much so that the King of the Qing Dynasty had to fight against the barbarians while enduring the smoke.
"Long live my emperor!"
"The Qing Dynasty will definitely win!"
"Kill the barbarian!"
"Rush..."
After shouting two inspiring slogans, nearly nine hundred Qing soldiers quickly gathered from the abandoned Minzhai and killed Benma Shiqiao with great fanfare.
Now with the support of the warriors with the yellow flag behind them, the guys rushing in front also have a backbone. They are the emperor's bodyguards, so they are naturally unstoppable.
As long as he can cross this damn bridge, he will see the palace where Goumanzi hoards gold, silver and jewelry. He has to risk his life for money.
No matter how powerful Gou Manzi's firearm is, there will be times when it misfires, times when the ammunition is exhausted, and times when it takes the opportunity to run away. Maybe this time it will be able to successfully kill him and make a comeback.
The people in front think the same as the people behind, that is, they have to bet their lives for money. Once they win, they can live a happy life as a master.
But if you lose...
"Boom boom boom!"
The Ming army on the other side used the Folang machine to fire again. The impact of the shells was extremely accurate, with a deviation of no more than one foot, causing the twenty or thirty Qing soldiers rushing at the front to be directly penetrated.
This is when all of them are holding shields or door panels, otherwise even the people behind will be directly penetrated by the cannonballs of the Fo Lang machine.
Twenty explosive packets dropped from the sky one after another, blooming one after another on the other side. The sound of explosions was endless, and after the flames faded, a mess was revealed.
How is this charge different from previous ones?
That means the thickness of the dead body has increased!
The Ming army had long known that the Qing army that entered the city through underground caves would not carry heavy weapons, had no horses or chariots, and was not necessarily equipped with artillery.
If it is a large-scale attack, the only tactic of infantry group charge can be used.
It was precisely in this way that Zhou Yuji ordered the deployment of mortars and French aircraft at the bridgehead that could achieve large-scale destruction of the enemy's effective forces. .
You send a sporadic small group of soldiers over. The cannons here will not fire easily, so I will use muskets to teach you how to behave. The cannons can take this opportunity to cool down in time.
On the contrary, no matter how many you come over, I will take them all. Regardless of whether they are real Tatars or fake Tatars, they will all be put down. Each one will cost two hundred taels. The more the better.
The bridgehead is a tactical node. Due to the limited width, the Qing army's offensive cross-section is very narrow. Even if a thousand people are gathered, they still have to walk across the bridge.
If you can swim over, that means you are very capable.
If you can't swim over, then I'm sorry, just wait to be bombarded!
The Qing army had no artillery, which directly resulted in not only being unable to cover its charge, but also losing the commanding heights on the west bank.
The Ming army on the east bank could take advantage of the high floors of the houses to look out. As long as the commander found that the Qing army on the other bank had the intention to gather towards the shore, he would immediately order the artillery units to prepare to fire.
There was only one target for the bombardment, and that was the bridgehead that had been completely blocked by fire!
I don’t care how many people come to us, you have to leave from here anyway, then we’ll live together.
The artillerymen of the East Palace Guards are very good at calculating time, and they even specially observed the situation during the fierce battle at the bridge.
According to artillery calculations, it would take half a minute for a hundred people to cross the bridge.
It would take five minutes at the fastest for a thousand people to cross the bridge, which gave our side enough time for the bombardment.
The Folang machine can fire seven or eight shells per minute at its slowest. The rate of fire of the mortar is slower, but not much slower.
Ten Franco aircraft plus twenty mortars can fire hundreds of shells at the bridgehead in one minute.
Moreover, the impact point of the artillery shell has been calibrated many times in actual combat, and now it has become extremely accurate.
In this situation of restricted firepower, the more people the Dog Tartars come, the more fruitful our results will be!
"Don't stop!"
"Keep moving forward!"
"Come on!"
The Qing army began to advance under artillery fire, especially the warriors with yellow flags, feeling that the difficulties were only temporary.
As long as they can quickly rush through this section of the area with the most intensive artillery fire, they can kill everyone if they get to the front.
The number of casualties suffered by the Zhenglan Banner and the Han Army was none of their business, as long as the Qing Dynasty could win in the end, it was enough.
It is no exaggeration to say that the bridgehead was covered with the corpses of Qing soldiers, leaving no place to stand.
The Qing troops who came up later could only continue to kill by stepping on the corpses of their companions. Soon, they also followed in their footsteps and became the targets of others' trampling.
"Boom boom boom boom..."
This was completely different from what I thought before. The dog barbarian's firepower was still extremely fierce. The three-banner soldiers in front couldn't bear it at all, and they were knocked down as if they were harvesting crops.
Under the extremely fierce artillery fire, the casualties of the three-banner soldiers in the front increased sharply. After only charging a hundred steps, they suffered nearly two hundred casualties. At this moment, their morale suddenly disappeared, they collapsed, and they began to turn around and run away.
Even if you kill a barbarian dog, you still have to give him a chance to wield your sword, right?
This is not bad, it is a round trip of a hundred steps!
At first, morale was high. When he ran to the bridge, he was heavily bombarded by a cannon by a barbarian dog.
Afterwards, morale was completely lost, and I ran back in a mess, only to be scolded by my superiors.
Is this a serious matter? ? ?
Isn’t the bitch with the yellow flag awesome?
Are you rushing ahead?
"No retreat!"
"Behead those who are timid!"
"Kill the deserters!"
Chen Tai, who rushed up from behind with his troops, saw that even the warriors of Zhenglan Banner were so cowardly. He immediately became furious and ordered the deserters to be killed, otherwise his troops would be crushed alive by them.
This time, it was better. Before he could engage directly with the dog barbarian, he started to kill his own people, and the scene suddenly became extremely chaotic.
Zhenglan Qi is not a vegetarian either. Just let me open the way for you. Now if you still want me to die, I will let you die first!
The Eight Banners soldiers of Zhenglan Banner could not withstand the shells fired by Gou Manzi, and they could not even parry.
But they can still try their skills against the scum with the yellow flag behind them, but they won't survive anyway.
The two sides started fighting at the bridge head and on the bridge, which made the Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers on the east bank look in a daze.
There was nothing that could be done about it, as the retreat behind him was blocked by yellow flags.
If you keep going forward, you'll either eat cannonballs or bullets. If you can't protect yourself, you'll have to eat the exploding club.
Many of the Eight Banners soldiers of Zhenglan Banner who had survived the previous four charges were frightened. Even if their master Hauge was here to supervise the battle, they would not be killed directly.
The scum like Xianghuangqi pushed them to death as soon as they arrived on the battlefield, so don't blame them for jumping over the wall in a hurry.
Even if I die, I will let you be my backer first!
"Ceasefire! Ceasefire for all!"
"Brigadier? Shouldn't we fight?"
"Fuck you! Isn't it good to watch the excitement?"
It's rare to see dog Tatars fighting among themselves. Now it's better. There is a good show to watch. Lin Baoguo, commander of the 4th Brigade of the Donggong Guards, hurriedly ordered his men to stop firing.
"Yes! Hit hard!"
"Put the tip of the knife into your crotch!"
"Oh! You're so stupid! You're actually picking your eyes!"
The soldiers who received the cease-fire order all changed to watching the show. While cheering and whistling, they also did not forget to give advice to the dog Tatars on the opposite side. It would be great if they could kill or maim them.
No matter how evil you are, this is the principle of the East Palace Guards in actual combat, and it comes in handy at this time. If you really become disabled, then you can legitimately go into the building and work as a big teapot...
The anger accumulated by the previous shelling was now vented by the soldiers of the Three Banners on the soldiers with the yellow flag. No matter how powerful the people with the yellow flag were, they were not as powerful as the shells fired from the opposite side.
Especially after seeing their companions being killed and the Ming army cease-fire, the Three Banners soldiers fought vigorously against the Xianghuang Banners. They actually gained the upper hand for a while and forced the opponent to retreat step by step.
"Stop it!"
Jueluo Baishan regretted it so much now. If he had known that this was the case, he might as well have let Chen Tai lead his men and kill him directly.
The two banners of the Han army, including the Zhenglan Banner, are all idiots who cannot be counted on. Beating the barbarians will not be effective, but killing their own people will work hard.
Before killing a single dog barbarian, Chen Tai's troops were killed by friendly forces, with more than a dozen people killed and more than fifty injured. Including the shelling, the casualties would have been over a hundred!
"Ajibai! This is the subordinate you trained! I must report this to the emperor!"
Even though Jueluo Baishan was Huang Taiji's slave and had several good prospects in Ajibai's career, he still had no right to touch the eldest brother Hauge's slaves. He could only warn the other party by filing a complaint. As for the punishment, it would be a matter after the war. .
"Our troops charged bravely and were bombarded by barbarians, resulting in heavy casualties!"
Ajibai explained the situation in his favor. If Jueluobaishan, a reckless man, wanted to file a complaint, he could just let him do so. He had no right to stop him anyway.
If the two sides really had to confront each other in front of the emperor, someone like Jueluo Baishan who just came up and gave random orders would not be able to get any advantage, right?
At present, such a large territory was conquered by the Zhenglan Banner and the Han Army. What did the Xianghuang Banner do?
Just supervise the battle here and be the boss?
Should I use you? ? ?
"Ajibai! Your men are clearly afraid of the enemy and are too timid to fight! They even harmed our soldiers!"
The veins on Chen Tai's forehead popped out. He strode over with a knife in hand and pointed at the opponent with the tip of the knife. There was no usual courtesy at all. After losing so many men, it was no wonder that he got angry on the spot.
"It's obvious that your troops are greedy for life and afraid of death. If not, it's your time to charge into the battle!"
Will Aji admit the other party's accusations?
joke!
Let’s have some fun!
If you think you're awesome, come on and I'll keep an eye on you!
