Chapter 449: Target, Zhu Cihong! (3rd Update)

The cavalry of the Qing army was getting more and more, and it was getting closer and closer, and the one who was walking in the forefront had reached more than a hundred steps in front of Yin Yun, and began to speed up.

Obviously, they had already spotted the Ming soldiers lurking at the edge of the woods, so they wanted to destroy them with a single impact.

"The turtledove kicks first, and then leaves! Bird Soldier Cover! ”

This is the squad leader who led the team, and the squad leader of the bird soldiers was roaring. When the Birdboy and the Turtledove Foot Soldier patrol together, the Bird Soldier with the Spike is responsible for covering the Turtledovefoot Soldier who does not have the Spike.

Moreover, now that the military law of the new army is strict, if Chen Zhong, the new battalion commander who is pressing the formation in the rear, sees the bird soldiers running back before the turtledove-footed soldiers, then this squad leader will not be able to eat and walk away.

Yin Yun, who had the rank of samurai, had the highest rank than the other turtledove-footed gunner, so he was in charge.

"Eighty steps!" Yin Yun opened his throat and exhaled.

In just the blink of an eye, the blue-clothed cavalry rushed to the firing distance specified by Yin Yun. The two turtledoves fired almost at the same time, the guns burst into flames, the projectiles flew out, and the cavalry of the Qing army who rushed to the front fell in response. However, the rest of the Qing cavalry was still attacking with their heads covered.

Yin Yun no longer loaded ammunition, but turned around and ran out of the forest. After running for ten or twenty steps, he heard a few bangs behind him again, which was the bird soldier firing.

According to the rules, they were supposed to fire the guns at a distance of thirty paces...... If there were hundreds or thousands of bird guns fired in a salvo, maybe they could still repel those Qing cavalry, but there were only ten bird guns in the forest, how could they resist it? Not even sluggish!

Thinking of this, Yin Yun spread his feet and ran wildly...... If you run slowly, you will be caught up by the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers. As a result, this guy ran too fast and didn't look at the soles of his feet, and he didn't pay attention to mixing something, and the whole person flew up in the air, and then fell down, and came with a big head and rushed down, and fell into a grass on the spot.

At the same time that Yin Yun fainted, at the edge of the woods, a killing was completed in a very short time!

The projectiles fired by the ten Ming soldiers could not stop the roaring Qing cavalry at all, but only knocked down two of them. After the projectile, the birds and soldiers also turned around and ran like Yin Yun, but they didn't run long before they were caught up by the galloping Qing cavalry, and they all became heroes under the knife and gun.

However, their sacrifice is not worthless, and the sound of the two rounds of gunfire in front and behind is an alarm!

Chen Zhong, the battalion commander of Zhu Cihong's guard, stood on a carriage carrying a horse repellent, with a good view, and when he heard the sound of the gun, he immediately raised his binoculars to look around, and then opened his throat and shouted: "Tartar cavalry, thousands...... In the direction of the woods, the phalanx of spears! ”

The pikemen phalanx was a modified Spanish phalanx, with 240 pikemen forming a boxy formation, with 40 turtledove-footed gunmen lined up at the corners of the phalanx or on the four sides of the phalanx, relying on the protective reload of the pikes to fire.

After giving the order, Chen Zhong jumped down from the carriage and trotted into the middle of the phalanx that had just been set upβ€”it was a sparse formation, and the gaps between the pikemen could allow the musketeers to dodge, and of course it could accommodate Chen Zhong and several other officers.

"Rejection of horses in the front row!" At the same time that Chen Zhong hid in the gun array, the two company commanders gave the order to raise their guns to resist the horse, and the spears stretched out in all directions, and the phalanx was like a hedgehog that had exploded.

The turtledove-footed gunmen, who hid among the pikemen, were busy lighting and reloading. As soon as they finished loading their ammunition, the cavalry of the Qing army roared in.

These Qing cavalry had never seen a hedgehog-like spear array, and no one dared to go up when they looked at the dense spear tips that were shining, they just ran around the phalanx, and some Qing cavalry took off their bows and arrows, but before they could start firing arrows. The turtledove's foot guns hiding at the edge of the phalanx were fired one after another, not in a salvo, nor in a rotation, but in free fire. However, the fight was quite accurate, and with the sound of the gun, the Eight Banners soldiers fell from their horses one after another!

The arrows of the Eight Banners were also shot out like raindrops, because the distance was close, and the sky was already bright, and the Eight Banners with excellent archery skills deliberately shot the arrows at the face of the Ming army, arms, legs and other parts that were not protected by armor or were not well protected. Seventeen or eighteen Ming soldiers were shot down in an instant.

If Chen Zhong hadn't released most of the firecrackers at hand, then there might be hope for forming a phalanx to defend now, but now with only 40 turtledoves and guns, he couldn't stop the three or two thousand eight banner soldiers at all!

As long as the other party keeps shooting arrows, sooner or later they can wipe out less than 300 Ming legions here......

At this time, Hauge had already left the woods under the escort of the Baya soldiers of the Blue Banner. Jialazhang Jingluotuo, who had previously commanded the battle of Hongyi Cannon Niulu, had now lost his cannon, brought a hundred and ten gunners, and followed Haoge's side, and then he opened his mouth to ask for battle: "Lord, let the minions take the Bayala warriors up!" ”

Hauge frowned when he heard this, what will he go up? The hedgehog-like spear array in front is worth fighting with Bayala warriors? You Roto or keep playing with cannons, right?

Looking at Roto, who was not good at using infantry and cavalry, Hauge shook his head and said, "Roto, it's none of your business here, take your gunners and stay in the woods." ”

Roto breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly answered "chirp".

Jialazhang Jing Yirod, who was inlaid with a yellow flag, was standing on the stirrup to watch the battle at this time, and saw Zhu Cihong's "Taizu Gao Emperor Reincarnation Flag" from a distance, and this flag was planted about three or four miles away...... It should be Zhu Cihong's Chinese army!

"Lord Wang!" Irod shouted excitedly, "The banner of the little prince of the Zhu family is three or four miles southwest, but we can catch it!" ”

Four miles is almost 2,000 meters, more than a thousand steps, the infantry rushed over for a while, and the cavalry arrived in a charge.

Hao Ge personally led 3,000 Eight Banner soldiers to come in a roundabout way, and he had the intention of raiding Zhu Cihong's army. Don't ask to kill Zhu Cihong, as long as it can disrupt his Chinese army and make the Ming army on the battlefield temporarily lose its center, then today's battle can at least be a draw.

The "Battle of Bloody Creek" has been fought so far, and the losses of the Qing army are certainly not small, but the losses of the core True Manchuria are not large, at most two or three thousand...... If Haoge can disrupt the Ming army, take the remaining more than 10,000 people away from the battlefield and go to the vicinity of Chishui to join Kong Youde and Shang Kexi.

Then the battle of Huainan still has to be fought!

Haoge was also able to retreat to Fengyang City, according to the Fengyang Outer City, Fengyang Imperial Mausoleum, Changhuai Acropolis and the Ming Army.

And after a night of hard fighting, Hauge had figured out the details of the new army - they were indeed stronger than all the other Ming armies that the Qing Dynasty had encountered in the past!

But they are not without weaknesses, first, the number of cavalry is small, and the strength is not obvious; The second is that there are strong soldiers but no strong generals.

Therefore, as long as he can fight again around Fengyang, Haoge is confident that Zhu Cihong will be in a dilemma.

"Good!" Haoge shouted loudly, "Beat the drums, blow the trumpet, and order the three armies, all follow the king's Daxu to charge!" This king is going to cut off the head of the little prince of the Zhu family! ”

"Order!" Irod responded loudly, and just wanted to convey Hauge's order, but Roto, who had not left yet, suddenly said: "Lord, be careful." ”

Irod turned his head to look at Hauge again, Hauge nodded, and said in a low voice: "That's right, you have to be careful, this battle today is really not easy to fight...... Ilde! ”

"The minions are here!" Ilder hurriedly responded.

Haoge said: "This king ordered you to carry the king's banner and bring the Baya soldiers with the whole blue flag to charge the Chinese army of the little prince of the Zhu family...... Be sure to play with my Manchurian Baturu spirit! If you can behead Zhu Cihong, you will be my No. 1 warrior in Manchuria! ”

That hatred in Ilde's heart! Roto is a treacherous minion who doesn't dare to fight hard, but he pushes the desperate errand to me! Also the first warrior of Manchuria...... That Ao Bai has already let people escort him to go first, maybe he will wake up tomorrow!
