Chapter 293: Rush Me
"No ......"
Du Du, who was directing the soldiers to attack, let out a desperate cry, and behind him, he clearly saw a large number of projectiles rushing towards his team like a dark cloud, countless warriors of the Dajin Kingdom were knocked to the ground like broken sacks, and the entire phalanx fell like a cornfield blown by a strong wind.
Seeing that the phalanx rushing to the front was swept away, Du Du's heart was dripping blood, these people are the most brave and good warriors in the Zhenglan Banner, if they were on the frontal cold weapon battlefield, they could face several times the enemy and defeat them, but now they died meaninglessly.
Du Du's heart is dripping blood at the moment, he has the heart to let the warriors disperse again, but the frontal battle formation of the Jiangning Army is so big, where can your formation be dispersed no matter how dispersed? Besides, why all generals throughout the ages have emphasized formation when fighting battles, is it not because in the era of cold weapons, the troops can only have combat effectiveness if they maintain a strict formation, otherwise they will all be like a plate of scattered sand, and the result can only be annihilated by the enemy one by one.
"Boom...... Boom ......"
The second round of shelling rang out again, and the projectiles that came at high speed were splashed everywhere with splashes of blood and broken limbs, and countless Houjin soldiers wailed in a pool of blood, and the entire phalanx became a Shura field, such a scene that even Nurhachi who looked like a two-mile land could not bear to look at directly.
"Yang Feng is a demon...... These Ming troops are also a bunch of devils! ”
Dolgon, who had been behind Nurha, cried out, his hand pointing ahead trembling and his face turning pale. As Nurhachi's fourteenth son, Dorgon was actually very fond of Nurhachi.
The reason why Nurhachi stayed with him this time was also because he wanted to let the fourteen-year-old Dolgon see what the real war was like, and Dolgon did not live up to Nurhachi's expectations, along the way, he was hungry and eager to learn, how to march, how to fight, how to set up camp, etc., and his efforts were also praised by Nurhachi, but today Dolgon felt that his outlook on life was broken.
Now Dolgon is only fourteen years old, at best he can only be called a teenager, in the past concept of the two armies fighting is the two sides put in a position of you sword and I shoot, with their own bravery and experience to fight, won the battle is a hero. But now this scene in front of him broke his preconceived notion, they hadn't even met the face of the Ming army, the other party only fired a few rounds of artillery, and the brave and invincible Dajin warriors in the past were knocked to the ground like fragile babies.
"What's wrong with the world? Could it be that Changsheng Tiantian is really going to abandon the Dajin Kingdom? Dolgon let out a helpless sigh in his heart.
It wasn't just Dolgon who was shocked, Nurhachi turned his head with a pale face and asked Dai Shan and Amin behind him: "Did you two be defeated by Yang Feng in Jinzhou last time?" ”
The two of them, who were also earthy, nodded at the same time, and finally Amin gritted his teeth: "Great Khan, last time, the ministers and others gathered a total of more than 20,000 troops with red flags and blue flags to besiege the Jiangning army, and they originally thought that they could be captured, but in the end, the ministers and Da Baylor were defeated and fled, the reason is not that the ministers are incompetent, but that the firearms of the Jiangning army are too sharp, and they are not capable of manpower at all." ”
In the first battle of Dry Grass Ridge, Amin and Dai Shan joined forces to eliminate the Jiangning Army, but they were knocked by Yang Feng with a backhand, and the head was beaten to the point of bleeding, and the battle of more than 20,000 troops suffered more than 6,000 casualties, plus Dai Shan's thousands of people under Jinzhou City, the number of casualties has exceeded 10,000, this is really the heaviest casualty since the founding of Dajin, and it is also a stain that Dai Shan and Amin cannot erase.
Although they and the generals who participated in the battle with the red and blue flags repeatedly explained the power of Jiangning's firearms, the more they explained, the more it became a quibble for them to shirk their responsibilities.
To be honest, Nurhachi was actually skeptical about the explanation of the two men.
Although he also knew that the possibility of Dai Shan, Amin and dozens of generals of the red and blue flags joining forces to coax him was almost zero, he still didn't believe that there were such terrible firearms in this world, after all, human beings are always suspicious of things they have never seen most of the time, but today when he witnessed all this, he finally understood that it turned out that Dai Shan and Amin not only did not coax themselves, but they said that the power of firearms was too small.
Looking at the Zhenglan Banner soldiers who suffered heavy casualties under the artillery fire of the Jiangning Army, Nurhachi muttered: "Is the firearm so powerful? ”
At this time, Dolgon, who was standing behind him, couldn't help but speak: "Father Khan, you quickly order the fifth brother to retreat, if you continue to fight him, all his people will be destroyed!" ”
"Never!" Before Nurhachi could speak, Huang Taiji on the side hurriedly said: "If you retreat at this time, won't those warriors in front of you die in vain?" Now it is even more important to hurry up and rush over, as long as you can rush to the front of the Jiangning army, you can defeat the phalanx of the Jiangning army in one fell swoop. ”
"Yes!" Nurhachi glanced at Huang Taiji approvingly and said loudly: "Although the blue flag of Shicai Zheng has lost so many people, these warriors are not sacrificed in vain, don't you see?" Now that Du Du has led the army to kill in front of them, because the distance is too close, the artillery of the Ming army no longer dares to open fire, and then it is the turn of our Dajin warriors to exert their might, Yue Tuo! ”
"The minister is here!" Yue Tuo, the leader of the Red Banner who grew strong and powerful and was wearing a red armor, stood up!
Nurhachi said sharply: "You immediately lead five thousand Zhenghongqi warriors to follow behind the Zhenglan Banner, and when they break through to the phalanx of the Ming army, you will immediately rush in, you must completely disrupt their formation, and then destroy them cleanly and completely!" By the way, then Yang Feng I want to live, I want to hang him with a bowstring in front of everyone! ”
"Huh...... Obey the order! Yue Tuo replied loudly and then rode away.
Looking at Yue Tuo's departure, Dai Shan's eyes were a little complicated, since the last attack on Jinzhou was defeated and returned, Nurhachi took the opportunity to take the Zhenghong Flag back from him and handed it to his son Yue Tuo, of course, Nurhachi's reason is also very high-sounding, Yue Tuo has now grown up, as Dai Shan's eldest son, he should share his father's worries, and it is justifiable to take over Zhenghongqi.
I have to say that Nurhachi's move caught Dai Shan off guard, originally Dai Shan, who was sitting on the red and red flags, was the most powerful prince except Nurhachi, and now he was divided by Nurhachi with half of his strength, especially after the red flag was seriously injured, such a blow was even more fatal.
Some people may say, Yue Tuo is your own son, what's wrong with handing over the Zhenghong Flag to him, anyway, this piece of fat is still rotten in the pot.
But those who know the inside story know that Yue Tuo and his old son have always been incompatible, and Dai Shan has always looked at this eldest son unpleasantly, just a few years ago, Dai Shan actually seized Yue Tuo's mansion, and finally was drunk by Nurhachi This had to return the mansion to Yue Tuo, from here it can be seen how bad the relationship between the father and son is.
But Nurhachi can't say anything against doing this, I, as the Great Khan and a grandfather, gave your soldiers and horses to your son and grandson in advance, is there anything wrong with that? So Nurhachi's move was simply stabbed in Dai Shan's waist, and it made him uncomfortable.
Due to the great loss of the strength of the Zhenghong Banner in the battle of Jinzhou and Dry Grass Ridge last year, now even the inlaid red flag has fallen into the hands of Yue Tuo, and Dai Shan, who was originally the strongest among the princes, has suddenly become the existence of the bottom. If there is no soldier in his hand, he will not be hard, so this time the cavalry attacked Jinzhou Daishan and played the role of a clay sculpture bodhisattva, no matter what he didn't say, he concentrated on being his dumb.
Looking at Yue Tuo's departing back, Dai Shan's expression was very complicated. If it is according to the algorithm of the Han people, Yue Tuo is his eldest son, and he should inherit everything from him in the future, and Yue Tuo showed his talent in military affairs very early, and at the age of sixteen, he followed Dai Shan and Nurhachi to conquer the north and made great contributions, it is said that there is such a capable son Dai Shan should be happy to stay by his side and teach carefully, but the fact is just the opposite.
Yue Tuo's mother, Li Jiashi, died at an early age, and his stepmother and Dai Shan were very mean to him, so the eldest concubine Meng Gu Zhezhe (Huang Taiji's biological mother) was ordered to raise him with Huang Taiji, so Yue Tuo had a good personal relationship with Huang Taiji, which also caused Dai Shan to hate Yue Tuo more and more.
Now after seeing Yue Tuo being ordered to attack the Jiangning army, Dai Shan's heart was struggling. He hoped that Yue Tuo would be defeated by the Jiang Ning army and returned, but he also didn't want to lose too much with the red flag, and this contradictory mood made him feel particularly uncomfortable.
On the battlefield, because the Houjin army was very close to the phalanx, all the artillery had to be withdrawn into the phalanx, and rows of sergeants also stood in front of the phalanx with firearms, after many battles, the Jiangning army also grew up rapidly, although there were countless Houjin soldiers in front of them waving weapons and rushing, but they could still stand quietly in place and look at the scene in front of them with indifferent and calm eyes, in their opinion, these seemingly fierce enemies were just like a lead bullet.
When the enemy troops entered a distance of one hundred and fifty meters, one of the commanders of the first platoon in the phalanx held his saber high and gave a loud order: "First platoon...... Preparation...... Raise your gun......"
"Put!"
As soon as the general's voice fell, a deafening array of gunfire rang out.
Accompanied by the neat sound of gunfire and fire, one after another lead bullets rushed out of the muzzle of the gun at a speed of 500 meters per second, and rushed forward quickly.
Although the accuracy of the "Brown Bes" was not high to be honest, firing at a distance of one hundred and fifty meters, after more than two hundred people from the three phalanxes opened fire together, the dense fire still hit sixty or seventy Houjin Tartars. Although the range of the breech gun was not high, and the shooting was not very accurate, the 0.71-inch lead bullet was not given for nothing.
This thing is comparable to the dummmy bullet of later generations, after the soft buckshot hits the target, it will immediately turn into various shapes, transmitting the huge kinetic energy to the opponent, and after being shot at this distance, it is difficult for the golden tartar to resist even if it wears two layers of heavy armor.
The distance of one hundred and fifty meters only takes more than ten or twenty times at best for those who are running at full speed, and the group of soldiers who rushed to the front of the group of soldiers with the blue flag looked at the Ming army who was almost close in front of them with a murderous gaze in their eyes, just on the road of the charge just now, they killed and injured too many of their companions, and the road of the charge was accompanied by blood and corpses almost all the way, looking at those companions who kept wailing and dying miserably, they vowed to make those cowardly Han people pay the price ten times and a hundred times.
Ebonus is a Niu Lu of the Blue Banner Infantry Armor and a famous warrior of the Blue Banner. Just now, the three hundred infantry armor under his command lost nearly a hundred people, such a big loss was something he had never encountered, looking at the Ming army in front of him who were holding fire guns, his eyes showed angry flames. He vowed to cut off all the heads of these Ming soldiers to quench his anger. He raised the heavy shield and mace in his hand and let out a crazy scream!
"Daikin warriors, rush...... Kill those cowardly Han dogs! ”
"Smack!"
As soon as his words fell, he rushed to the front and was hit by a lead bullet on the heavy shield in his hand, and the huge impact force knocked a big hole in the wooden shield in his hand, and then the lead bullet that had been seriously deformed hit his chest again, only to feel that he was hit hard in the chest and fell to the ground.
"Am I going to die?"
This was the first reaction of Emusi who fell to the ground, he wanted to stand up but the armor on his body was too heavy, and the sharp pain in his chest made him try several times without success, which also made him only watch a pair of big feet step past him, listening to the continuous screams in his ears, his heart sank to the bottom.
"Second row...... Fire! ”
"Bang ......"
"Third row...... Fire! ”
The five rows of musketeers in front of the phalanx did not have the slightest weakness because of the tragic situation of the Houjin Tartars, they opened fire one row after another under the orders of the officers, and as the distance between the two sides approached, their shooting accuracy became higher and higher, and when the Houjin Tartars rushed to a distance of seventy meters from the phalanx, they had all completed a volley, and seven or eight hundred corpses fell in front of them regardless of the volley.
In the attack formation of the blue flag, Ebonus finally struggled to get up, he looked down and checked his chest, and found that the lead bullet just now only penetrated the cotton armor and scale armor he wore on the outside, and the innermost chain mail was not penetrated.
Before he could rejoice, there was a loud cry in his ears, followed by a sharp pain in his face, and it turned out that he had been whipped.
"Damn minion, what are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and rush up for me!"
