Chapter 1074: The Great Enemy Is Now
The vanguard of the Qing army, Aobai, has successively broken through 16 joint camps of the Ming army, with 28,000 casualties and 67,000 killings. In front of him, there were 150,000 imperial battalions and northern troops lying in front of his road. The reason in his heart overtook his congested brain, and he chose to wait for backup three hundred paces away from the front of the Ming army. Not long after, Ma Guozhu, the governor of Jiangnan, and Wakda, the king of Doro County, caught up one after another, and several people began to discuss how to break through.
Wakda, the king of Doro, said: "It is safer to disrupt the enemy's camp with bows and arrows first, and then charge after inflicting some casualties on the enemy." Ma Guozhu said: "Xia Guan feels that it is unreasonable to fight hard, and the geographical space of attacking the enemy from a long distance with a bow and arrow is too narrow, which is very unfavorable for maneuvering, and the shooting distance of the horse bow is not as good as that of a step bow." Ao Bai looked down on the Han people, and he felt that it was wrong for anyone to have an opinion, and he couldn't show any lofty faces, so he sarcastically said impatiently: "According to the meaning of Master Ma, we can only fly over?" ”
After all, Wakda was the king of the clan, how could he allow the two of them to break out into infighting in front of a strong enemy? He waved his hand and said, "Enough, the enemy is present, everything should be the first thing to be war, Ba Ya La, let's talk about what you think." Ao Bai stared and said, "When can the shot with a bow and arrow defeat the enemy?" The situation of the battle is urgent, the enemy on the opposite side is not short of bows and arrows and artillery fire, and our army is in danger of being encircled at any time. Moreover, the territory of our army is extremely narrow, and there are large forces blocking the enemy camp behind. If we don't open the exit and get out of the way, how will the rear army deal with itself? Since Master Ma said that it doesn't make sense to fight hard, then let's just stop talking about any more reasoning, and our three people will kill it in three ways! The Ming army camp was tightly lined up, and we had little chance of winning with cavalry, but our three-way army could meet the enemy in close quarters, and then dismount and fight on foot. After you succeed, you can launch a centripetal assault at the same time. ”
Wakda, who had a lot of combat experience, was very much in favor of Aobai's plan. The losses in front of him are no longer important, and it is the key to be able to lead the main force of the whole army to rush out, so he nodded frequently and said: "Okay, just press the Baya Laqi (Ao Bai has the longest tenure and the most majestic official position, Zheng Erpin. Bayala is in charge of the government of each banner barracks, and the Chinese translation is the commander of the army. Baya Laxu is the general leader of the Eight Banners Protector Army), and the three of us will divide the troops to attack! Let the Ming army not leave a piece of armor! ”
As the whistle sounded, the 50,000 people of the Qing army on the three routes rushed separately to their respective targets. On the left is Ma Guozhu, the governor of Jiangnan, and in the middle is Baya Lalu Guerjia. Aobai, on the right is Wakda, the king of Doro County. The whistle still didn't stop, and the horses were steaming hot in the winter sun. The three-way Qing army was like three huge steamers, creating a long fog and dust in the sky above the sound of a whirring sound.
There are feathers and arrows intertwined in the dust, coming and going like shuttles, weaving a big net. The front of the Imperial Northern Army began to make tactical moves, their left leg stretched forward, their right leg stepped back, and their right knee bent. Insert the armor-piercing gun into the ground at an angle of 40 degrees, rush forward with the tip of the gun, step on the tail of the gun with your right foot, and hold the barrel of the gun with both hands. This large group of Qing cavalry rushed up, and if it really hit hard, at least the men and horses in the front row would be turned into meat skewers. I love to read
I saw that the whistling riders came to the front of the Ming army, and they all jumped off their horses with a whizz, brandished the weapons in their hands, and ran over. What's going on? This is too unexpected, don't you say it's cavalry? Why did he dismount and march on foot in front of the battle? The Northern Army of the Imperial Camp did not hesitate, and hurriedly raised their guns to meet the enemy. In a short-handed battle, the two armies tried their best, but it was the northern army that was ready to grill skewers that suffered.
Although the Northern Army is a strong force in the army, there is still a big gap between the fighting skills and the elite of the Eight Banners. Most of the Eight Banners were able to overcome the obstacle of the armor piercing gun, rushed to the close range of the Northern Army, and warmly entertained the Northern Army front with the weapons in their hands that had just drawn their waist swords. The northern army did not lose its armor and unloaded its armor, and at this time the armor could not be lost, but it was cut down by the Qing army, scattered all over the ground with armor pieces and cloth heads, and the miserable snorting continued one after another.
Although Fu Qingzhu, the commander of the Northern Army of the Imperial Camp, is a generation of Confucian, he is still a literati in his bones after all. Seeing that the chariot array of hundreds of thousands of imperial battalions and five armies was trampled by the elite soldiers of the Eight Banners, he couldn't help but start to tremble with his hands and feet. Qin Yiming, who had gone out to the command of the Northern Army of the Imperial Camp, observed this detail of him and shouted to him: "What are you afraid of! You need to know that the brave wins when you meet on a narrow road! Mr. Qingzhu, if this is still a drill, forget about those casualty figures! With Qin Yiming's slap in the face, Lord Fu Qing finally came back to his senses.
"Command, shield forward, archers back and shoot, gunners ready!" Qin Yiming drew his sword and waved it, issuing a series of orders, the tragedy of the battlefield could not shake the old general's heart of a hundred battles at all. The age difference between him and Plug Yinxi and Hong Chengchou is no more than ten years old, Hong Chengchou is nine years old, and Qin Yiming is the next old, but Qin Yiming, who has been fighting with his aunt Qin Liangyu since he was a child, has never seen any battles in his life?
The front was caught off guard by the Qing army's dismount and foot battle, and General Qin immediately ordered the Ming army's shield array to advance to the front, and finally saved the lives of many pikemen. The pikemen hid behind the shield and did not retreat any further, relying on the cover of the long cards to organize a decent counterattack. This made the casualties of the Qing soldiers gradually increase, and the throwing spears thrown by the long card players and the dense cover of the archers behind them made the Qing troops unable to parry, and they fell to the ground one after another, with heavy casualties. The Qing army began to face the most difficult situation since leaving the city, and many Qing soldiers were penetrated by the Ming army's throwing guns, or kneeling or standing to die.
It was the same Ao Bai who had already broken through sixteen formations in a row, only to hear his shout, rushed to the front of the formation from three steps and two steps from the army, and jumped into the Ming army with another arrow step high. The Ming army was not ambiguous, and quickly erected dozens of spears, forming a nail board. If Ao Bai really falls on it, it will be like Gao Bizheng, leaking everywhere and ventilating inside and out. When it was too late, he heard a 'buzz', and a shield flew behind him, and he didn't even look at it, and he determined the position of the shield just by the sound of the wind. stepped on the shield with a thud, and with this fulcrum, the body rose sharply again, and flew forward a foot away again. Before the Ming army behind could fully react, they just erected more than a dozen spears. For the average samurai, even a few guns would kill him. But who is this person? This person is Ao Bai - the first Baturu of Manchuria!
