Section 65 The Battle of Jianning - The Bloody Battle of Jianning (2)

"Fire...... Put it ......" overhead there was a loud sound of the Franc cannon firing from the top of the city, and the sound of those huge round cannonballs flying in the air could be heard.

Huangshan also raised the flag in his hand, "Bird Gun...... Prepare ......"

"Boom", "boom" is the sound of a shell exploding. A puff of black smoke rose from the charging cavalry of the Qing army, like a demon's giant hand reaching out of hell, holding up a group of cavalry and their mounts, throwing them into the air, and in an instant they were trampled by the cavalry who came after them on the ground, and they only let out a half-loud cry.

The chariot that was escorted was parked in the car formation of the side van group Gu, and Liu Guoxuan saw that the fierce battle was particularly fierce at this time, and it was not a good time to adjust the equipment. He turned his head to look at Hong Xu, who had a sneer on the corner of his mouth. Of course, Liu Guoxuan knew what General Zheng meant, but he just wanted to humiliate them who did not kneel. It's just that I can't make up my mind in my heart, and I don't know if Cheng Kuo has a plan with him.

"Platoon Commander Liu, you can give the order."

He was still waiting to turn his head to look at Cheng Kuo who was standing beside him, but he didn't expect Cheng Kuo to understand what he was thinking.

Liu Guoxuan looked at the commander (squad leader) of each car, and although he was a little surprised by the momentum of the thousands of troops and horses, the blood surging on his face showed their attitude. Seeing Liu Guoxuan looking at them, they nodded with a calm look in their eyes.

"Good! Let's show them, our old barracks are powerful, the first platoon is led by me, the second platoon is led by the platoon commander Cheng, we cut in from the left and right sides of this square car formation at the same time, and meet in front of the formation gate, and then withdraw to the formation together, remember, it is not allowed to get out of the car to fight, it is not allowed to stop, if the vehicle breaks down or is surrounded, send a signal in time to follow our combat regulations. ”

Seeing that everyone understood and ran back to his car, Liu Guoxuan said to Hong Xu: "General Hong, it's too late to install it now, take a look, our chariots are also equipped with this flying crossbow, you just need to watch in front of the formation gate later, we will attack the enemy cavalry, and you will see the effect of the flying crossbow at that time." ”

The smile on Hong Xu's face was slightly restrained, at this time, among the teams that dared to attack the Eight Banners cavalry charge, they were also brave people, and they also put away their hearts to underestimate these dart masters. Listening to Liu Guoxuan's words, he replied: "Don't worry, I will arrange some cavalry at the formation gate, as long as you rush there, I will take you back." ”

"Thank you, you don't need to go out, just leave us a clear road."

As he was talking, the head wave of the Qing cavalry's arrows had broken through the air and attacked.

It's gone, but it's a cloud that looks at death and bloodshed. The arrows fell downward with a whistling sound, and those that fell to the ground made a "porphyry" sound like hailstones, and those who shot people brought a rain of blood and hung up a life. Many of the soldiers in the side carriage seemed to have been pushed backwards by someone, and fell off the carriage, with a few feather arrows pierced on their bodies, and for a while, there was a great chaos in the car formation, and the wounded lay on the ground and howled loudly, and those who were frightened threw down their weapons and found a secret and safe place to plunge into it, completely ignoring the exposed buttocks.

Huang Shan was not moved by these things at all, his eyes were just staring at the cavalry who were getting closer and closer, holding the command flag in his hand, and seeing that those Eight Banner Iron Cavalry had entered the firing range, he hurriedly waved down, shouting "release".

After a series of firing sounds, a puff of white smoke rose from outside the car array, and the soldiers after the launch flashed backwards, and the second row stepped forward to release the birds.

The continuous gunfire only made the charge of the Eight Banners cavalry pause slightly, and then continued to make a thunderous sound, just like the large cloud of ice and snow at the time of the avalanche, unable to hinder or defend.

At the shrill whistle, the cars slowly accelerated in a neat line on both sides. Hong Xu looked at it curiously, and said to himself: "A gentleman of weirdos...... thinking about it is not right, and added a sentence of "a group of courageous weirdos." ”

There were some gaps between the side carts, and there were a few spears of Zhangba, which was a measure to prevent those cavalry from rushing in through these gaps, but after repelling several charges of the Qing army, these spears were already missing a lot, so many of the cavalry who rushed in jumped in from there, and these cavalrymen were skilled in bows and horses, and they were very brave in stepping down immediately.

Hong Xu saw this scene, and hurriedly asked the knife and axe hand he brought to fill in the front of the car formation. He only showed two eyes from a side van and looked out.

A dark yellow torrent (the Qing army mostly wore cowhide armor on the outside and ring armor on the inside), with that fierce murderous aura, he took a deep breath, he was afraid that they would not be able to come back, and suddenly he regretted letting those dart masters go to death. Why bother, this is a battle formation, and it is not the same as the thieves they usually deal with, this is the Eight Banners.

The cavalry was followed by the infantry of the Qing army, whose infantry was often adapted from the surrendered Han Chinese army, or the cavalry that had lost their horses. Following behind the cavalry, he shouted and rushed forward. (Fuck, these bastards didn't have the courage to fight the invaders before surrendering.) )

Hong Xu was regretting it here, and suddenly there was a sharp whistle in the enemy formation over there.

"Hmmm! Isn't that the same whistle they blow when they leave? Hearing this, Hong Xu looked out.

There was a great chaos in the cavalry team of the Eight Banners that were charging, two columns of chariots lined up in a zigzag formation, and the cavalry on both sides somehow fell to the ground, and there were those who touched the cavalry on the chariot, and they tumbled over from the roof of the chariot and rolled over from the roof of the chariot, but after landing from this side, they did not get up again, thinking that they were no longer alive. As the two chariots got closer and closer to the middle of the formation gate, Hong Xu could see that not only were they running extremely fast, but the crossbow arrows shot from the crossbow tower above had not broken at all.

"If that's the case, this flying god crossbow will be too powerful."

Those cavalry panicked in the face of this unstoppable and unstoppable square box, how many brave people with spears and halberds and the momentum of war horses, they couldn't shake the slightest of these moving square boxes, and they were shot beyond recognition, the cavalry had such a thought in their hearts: "What kind of monsters are in this, can shoot as many crossbow arrows!" ”

At last the chariots were put together and a word was drawn, and the cavalrymen tried their best to urge the horses, but they just couldn't get past this obstacle, they just couldn't break it. Rows of cavalry were shot down, and then trampled into pulp by the cavalry behind them, "This is not a charge, this is death" Some cavalry ran to both sides. This cavalry charge is about a blow, with speed and rapid impact to cause the destruction of the opponent's formation, but when the momentum of the cavalry is destroyed, then the charge is considered a failure, and it must be reorganized. This was the case with the Qing army's charge.
