Chapter 177: Stir-fried Flowers (End)
Fried flower Taiji has already dripping blood in his heart at this moment.
The 12,000 troops he brought with him, more than 4,000 were cut off in the river by the Ming army's sailors before they could go ashore, and now their lives and deaths are unknown - well, this is a self-consoling statement, in fact, it is estimated that most of them are only to feed Wang Ba's life.
Immediately afterwards, Ma Dong and Ma Chengen were constantly harassed back and forth with two cavalry, Ma Dong was okay, and he was harassed, but Ma Chengen was extremely dishonest, not only attacking, but also always thinking of some ghost ideas to try to kill more people, so that he didn't dare to divide the troops to fry the flowers, not to mention, at the end of his own army, the loss was not a thousand, but there must be eight hundred.
Originally, he was thinking about concentrating the landing troops, but after being busy for nearly an hour, he found that at the beginning, there were five or six thousand people around him, and when he decided to give up playing cat and mouse with Ma Dong and Ma Chengen, there were still five or six thousand people around him, which was a hell.
Fried Flower Taiji could only give up, there might be a few hundred people scattered around the beachhead, but he couldn't care about it, and directly broke through with the five or six thousand people who were already by his side.
However, the breakthrough was not smooth, although the trees in this small hilly area were not tall, but it still affected the cavalry to run quickly, so they could only choose an area with relatively gentle terrain to break through.
It's a long, narrow area that resembles a mountain valley, and if the mountains on either side are higher, it's a great place for an ambush, but it's just a small hill around, and Yakuza doesn't worry about being ambushed.
However, although he is not afraid of ambushes, it does not mean that he can ignore the shelling.
The mountains and valleys were shelled, and there was nowhere to run, so everyone had to gamble their lives, even the fried flower Taiji himself.
Fortunately, it seems that the fried flower Taiji should not be killed, and although the first round of artillery is far enough, because it is autumn, it has just rained in autumn a few days ago, and the ground is not very hard, these solid shells from a distance are difficult to form ricochet, and the lethality is relatively limited, and the people killed are some unlucky eggs, and fried flower Taiji is not one of them.
But when he led his troops through a strange "grassless area", he found that the artillery fire on the opposite side was much more intense, and the speed of the shells landing greatly increased, and they did not look like the previous shells.
That means that he is not far from the opponent's main position or defense line, so the old artillery fire of the Ming army with insufficient range can also play a role.
At this moment, Fried Flower Taiji has long since stopped thinking about saving horsepower, and directly ordered to speed up.
He wanted to break the encirclement in one fell swoop, and then find a way to withdraw to the territory of the Liaohe Hetao.
At this moment, the range of the Ming army's tiger squat cannon is indeed limited, and the fried flower Taiji just bypassed a bend in the mountains and valleys, and found about 1,500 Ming infantry troops standing in front of him.
Fried Flower Taiji was overjoyed, and said secretly: God help me! The Ming army is not numerous, and it just broke through the formation in one fell swoop!
"Warriors of the Fried Flower Division!" Fried Flower Taiji said loudly: "Defeat this Ming army that sent us to death, and we can go home!" ”
"Go home!"
"Go home!"
Fried Flower Taiji wiped the blood stains on his face, raised the saber in his hand, and shouted, "Let me ...... Charge! ”
He pointed his scimitar forward, and his iron rider rolled forward. However, Fried Flower Taiji was a lot more cautious this time, and he did not immediately rush to the front, but "sat in the middle army" and moved forward with the central army with the largest number of people.
Zhang Wanbang had already come down from the hill at this time, and he was also standing in command of the Chinese army.
The Ming army is infantry, of course, it will not take the initiative to step forward so as not to mess up the formation, these Gao Jiabu Ding and Zhang Wanbang's family Ding have already lined up the formation, according to the requirements of the Wanli one-style drill code, the first row of all the bayonets are inserted, the butt of the gun stands on the ground, and the tip of the knife is obliquely upward and the front is placed in a bayonet formation.
The second row of Wanli muskets all entered the state of readiness, as the cavalry of the fried flower department entered one hundred and fifty steps, they raised their guns and began to aim under Zhang Wanbang's order, and when they entered the hundred steps, with Zhang Wanbang's sound of "ready-", all the family members pulled the right index finger on the trigger.
At eighty steps, Zhang Wanbang shouted angrily: "Release!" ”
"Bang bang bang" A string of guns rang out, and more than 30 people fell from the cavalry forward department of the fried flower department, which startled the fried flowers in the rear.
When he fought Ma Dong and Ma Chengen just now, due to the speed of both sides, he didn't have time to pay attention to the efficiency of the other party's previous wave of free fire, but now he can have a good experience.
Because he had to face more than just this round of volleys, the training of the opposing Ming army was far beyond the expectations of the fried flower Taiji, after the first round of shooting, only a few breaths of time, a second row of shooters stepped forward, and soon another volley was fired.
And then came the third round, the fourth round......
At a distance of less than 100 steps, the opponent actually fired four rounds of volleys, which made Fried Flower Taiji directly scrap the most elite group of warriors in the clan, and the number of them has exceeded 100.
Although the Mongols are all soldiers, there is obviously a difference between elite cavalry and ordinary cavalry, and this first batch of elite soldiers who took the lead actually suffered hundreds of casualties in one face, which startled the cavalry in the rear, and they couldn't help but feel a little ominous in their hearts.
But the fried flowers shouted: "Continue to charge the battle and break the Ming army!" ”
Finally, with such casualties, he rushed to a distance of only more than 20 steps in front of the battle, of course, he could not retreat at this time, otherwise his efforts would be wasted.
Continuing to rush into battle is the only way to fry Hua Taiji at the moment, and it is indeed his choice.
However, the opposing Ming army not only did not flee from the wind, but even the formation did not change, the front row of soldiers who were half-squatting with the sword edge diagonally facing the front only cared about grasping the bayonet firmly and fixing it, while the Ming army in the back row did not know where to get a rectangular wooden shield to protect the first row of soldiers and his own heads.
Fried Flower Taiji was wondering what kind of strange action this was, and the third row of soldiers of the Ming army suddenly threw a "stone" forward in unison - it was not a stone, of course, but two small bowls with the mouth of the bowl against the size of the grenade.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
This is not a round of dozens of casualties, this wave of grenade explosions at close range directly killed and injured at least two or three hundred cavalry of the fried flower department who rushed not far from the front of the formation, and the cavalry behind were all frightened and either stopped their horses, or pulled their horses' heads to avoid the side.
All of a sudden, the fried flower department was in chaos.
For a rush, a drop in speed is almost a sign of failure, let alone a halt?
Fried Flower Taiji seemed to have been poured from head to foot with a bucket of cold water in the winter, and his heart was cold, but he immediately yelled hysterically: "Rush, rush, why stop!" All to this Taiji rush into battle, at all costs! Rush me! ”
At this moment, he himself had already gone crazy, and he didn't care about any danger in the first position, so he raised his saber and rushed out first.
As soon as the cavalry of the fried flower department saw that their Taiji had rushed, they didn't dare to hesitate, or they didn't think much about it at all, and rushed over again, although because the distance was too close, it was too late to continue to accelerate, but they finally found a little bit of the posture of rushing into battle.
Zhang Wanbang sneered in the formation: "It's not as good as Xin Ai, and you dare to be majestic in front of me?" Order, give them another ......"
"Brother Sanxi!" Zhang Wanbang's voice suddenly sounded from the other side of the hill in front of Zhang Wanbang: "You have a great achievement in the world with a thousand and five foot soldiers to meet the five thousand Tartar cavalry without taking half a step back, how about letting your brother do the rest of this little thing?" ”
Zhang Wanbang looked over there, only to see that Ma Chengen's cavalry had accelerated to the momentum of charging by virtue of the advantage of going downhill, and although Ma Chengen himself was talking to him, a pair of eyes were staring at the fried flower Taiji who had fallen into madness.
Zhang Wanbang's heart moved, swallowed back the order that he hadn't finished just now, and instead ordered: "Just stabilize the bayonet formation." ”
In fact, the war horses of the fried flower department were affected by the sound of the river when they first came ashore, and they fought fiercely for more than an hour, and were frightened by artillery fire and grenades, and they did not dare to come over to the bright bayonet formation.
On the other side, Ma Chengen quickly rushed down and slashed into the fried flower array, aiming directly at the fried flower Taiji himself: "Fried flower chieftain, don't you want to fight with me?" Ulju Ma Cheng Eun also comes! ”
Fried Flower Taiji's mind was in a mess, and he saw Ma Chengen rushing forward, but he only subconsciously waved a knife, and there was no threat at all.
Ma Chengen saw the situation early, his heart moved, and he originally wiped the must-kill knife on the neck of the fried flower, but suddenly the blade turned, and the blade of the knife "snapped" on the face of the fried flower.
Ma Chengen's family immediately forced back the Mongolian cavalry who came to rescue the fried flowers, and Ma Chengen glanced at the fried flower Taiji who fell to the ground and didn't wake up, and laughed: "Dog thief, did you think that there would be today before you came to Liaonan?" Come on, tie me up! ”
