Chapter 404: King Gao Yan is powerful
Firearms firearms, which were largely lethal, lasted less than a quarter of an hour before they ended. Because both sides can't shoot - the Qing army's guns are better, but they can't be fired continuously, and an average of five shots should almost be left to dry, and then continue when it is cool.
Shandong's regimental training is miserable here, and some of the three-eyed firearms have exploded. The attack cannon has not been blown up yet because of the thick wall of the barrel, but it needs to be cooled down after a few shots, and it cannot be used for the time being.
And after the suspension of the use of firearms, it is the turn of the archers to play!
Looking down from a high place, you can see more than 300 shield carts lined up in a long arc, slowly approaching forward, and they have reached the front of the Qiyue Formation composed of military shield vehicles and offensive artillery of the Shandong regiment training 50 steps away.
With a command, more than 300 shield carts slowly stopped and stopped advancing. The carts are all coated slaves of the Eight Banners, and they are not new slaves who are forced to surrender after entering the customs, but old slaves who were slaves before entering the customs. That's a first-class slave among minions!
Don't look at their status as minions, but their status in the Great Qing Kingdom is much higher than that of the Green Battalion! Even those generals and thousands of generals in the green camp dare not provoke these clothed minions! Otherwise, the master of the family would come forward, and he would not be able to eat and walk away.
In addition, the Qing Dynasty also has a particularly powerful "Fugitive Law" that can kill people - according to this law, the fugitive nests the family and the law, and the wife's property is not given to the master. And the fugitives are just tattooed on their faces!
In other words, if any old slave wants to tattoo his face and drill into the homes of the Han officials of the Qing Dynasty and the officials of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, it will be a disaster of family ruin.
In history, prince-level traitors like Geng Zhongming were killed by this "Fugitive Law".
So today's Eight Banners "old minion" is simply a plague god, even a first-class official (Han official) is afraid.
When the slave is in this position, he is really proud of himself!
And Duoduo has already told them in person that as long as Shandong is defeated, they can all raise the flag, and then they will be the masters of the Eight Banners Han Army......
Because of the benefits of being a master, these coaters are very active, and they don't need the Eight Banners to force the cart at all. Now after pushing the cart, he did not go down to rest, but took out his shield to cover his head and face, and waited for the order to charge from above.
If they can hack a few Nikans to death, they will be able to raise the flag in advance and become glorious minions of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty!
When the old minions of the coat were about to charge with their shields on their heads, their Eight Banner masters had already taken the Eight Force Bow and began to throw feather arrows.
Because they were shooting arrows from behind the shield cart, they couldn't aim, they could only shoot roughly. There were Eight Banner officers in front of them to calibrate to ensure that most of the arrows fell into the Ming army's Qiyue chariot array.
And on the other side of the Ming army, there was no movement!
This time, there was no indiscriminate shooting, and there was a quiet piece of defense line composed of shield carts, gun carriages, and earthen bags, and no one showed their faces.
Duoduo, who was supervising the battle in the back, looked at it and frowned, and said to He Luohui beside him, "Why is there no movement?" Isn't it going to slip away? ”
"Can't slip away," He Luo would smile, "Don't worry, the prince has just crossed the river with 5,000 people and ambushed him...... If they want to wade across the dirt river, they will die. ”
Duoduo nodded, "Since these Nikans can hold on without indiscriminate shooting, let's let the shield cart go another twenty steps...... The king wants to see how endurable these Nikans are!
In addition, the green battalion soldier named Xu Dingguo is ready! Today's first battle depends on Old Man Xu's, he can fight down, and when Jinan is broken, let his people enter the city and be happy. Can't beat down...... Hmph, I don't raise waste! ”
"Wow!"
......
There is a reason why the archers of the Shandong regiment can withstand and not shoot indiscriminately, because the Ming Dynasty sent the governor of Shandong, the Jinan Mansion to guard the general army, the prince Shaobao, and the respected old minister Gao Hongtu, who is now on the front line, is behind the archers who are waiting in the formation to supervise the battle.
Just behind Gao Hongtu, the three armies command flag and the Da Xushuai flag fluttered in particular. Most of his pro-soldiers were sent out, and in front of the place where he was sitting, a line of people was discharged, and everyone was unsheathed with their big swords, looking at the regimental training in front of him with the flag team as a unit.
In front of them, there was also a row of spears, each with a bloody dead man's head hanging from the tip!
It's all the unlucky ones who ran away without an order and just hit Gao Hongtu's knife edge - it was not only them who were unlucky, but also their families, and the rent reduction and interest reduction immediately became a rent increase and interest rate hike.
There were also more than sixty men who had stripped off their clothes and armor, shirtless, and wielded rattan javelins, and listed a small phalanx in front of Gao Hongtu, all of them with blue faces and some trembling. These guys are all flag-generals under various firearms battalions! Because of the indiscriminate shooting of the department, he was captured by Gao Hongtu's own soldiers.
Gao Hongtu didn't kill them, they just didn't control their subordinates, and they didn't run away. But Gao Hongtu did not let them go, and let his own soldiers strip them of their armor, and each of them was issued a rattan card, two javelins, and a steel knife, and let them be death squads - if they survived, they were exempted from responsibility and continued to command the firearms soldiers. If they can't survive, they deserve it, who made them not lead troops?
Seeing that the flags of these firearms soldiers are always like this, can you always care about the flags of the archers? Everyone showed their knives, and whoever dared to open the bow without an order would directly chop it with a knife.
Therefore, the archers of the dozens of banner teams that were placed on the front line by Gao Hongtu are now all wearing rattan cards on their heads, gritting their teeth and carrying them, allowing the feather arrows shot by the Qing army to fall one after another, and no one dares to fight back indiscriminately, let alone retreat to avoid the arrows.
This old scholar with high ambitions can actually lead the team like this, not to mention Duoduo and He Luo on the other side, even the top boss of the tall governor, Zhu Cihong, did not expect it.
And the two military leaders who followed Gao Hongtu, Li Chengdong and Ma Degong, were all detained by the side of the tall governor at this time, and their faces were gloomy and almost dripping...... Because seeing the scene in front of them, the two of them already knew that Old Man Gao's mastery of the training of the Shandong Regiment had reached the point where he was like a finger!
The two of them have led the army for many years, and in terms of controlling the army, they can't compare to Gao Hongtu, an old scholar!
Although Gao Hongtu's army is not very well-equipped and its training is so-so, it can't stand up to many people! Forty or fifty thousand people, several times more than Li Chengdong and Ma Degong's soldiers, there are 22,000 people on the Tuhe front alone...... They all listen to the command so much!
This is the legendary powerful warlord!
It turns out that the old man is a powerful warlord, if the old man wants to swallow the strength of the two of them, it is not a matter of words?
Thinking about it, it was really hard, I thought that after breaking away from Gao Jie and Huang Degong, I could live a comfortable life of flying and domineering for a few years, but I didn't expect to meet Gao Hongtu, the living king of Hades...... If you have a chance to turn around, let's hurry up, it's better to go anywhere than to follow King Gaoyan!
When the two army leaders were making small calculations, the sound of war drums and shouts of killing had already sounded.
Zhang Mingzhen, who had been lying behind a shield cart and looking forward from the gap, walked quickly to Gao Hongtu, and after saluting, he said: "Futai, the Tartar infantry has come up, it is the green battalion soldiers (there is still some clothing, but Zhang Mingzhen can't tell it), there are three or four thousand people. ”
"Got it!" Gao Hongtu stroked his beard lightly, "Pass on the order of the generals, work hard to kill the enemy, and there will be a lot of rewards!" Escape from the battle, and you will not be spared! ”
"Whoa!"
The personal soldiers around Gao Hongtu all responded loudly, and then scattered and rushed to the front lines everywhere to pass on the orders of the tall governor.
Gao Hongtu turned his head again, looked at Li Chengdong and Ma Degong with a smile, and saw that both of them had hairs standing on end.
"Both of you are veteran generals in the army, and today is the time for the country to use troops." Gao Hongtu said, "Which of you wants to fight?" ”
"My subordinates are willing!"
"The subordinates are also willing to fight!"
The two army leaders also knew that they couldn't dodge, so they had to bite the bullet and ask for battle.
Gao Hongtu smiled, "Okay...... Each of you will choose 500 armor soldiers and wait for the old man's orders! ”
