Chapter 100: The Battle of Shanhaiguan 6
On the other hand, the firecrackers of the Great Chinese Army seemed to have become a sophisticated machine, stepping forward to fire in rows, reloading in rows, and then waiting for another round of fire, almost at a rate of two salvos per minute, constantly raining down bullets of death on the side of the Jiannu Army.
Think about it, in the face of the projectiles flying around you, on the top of your head, and in the crotch of your pants, if you don't want to be nervous or afraid, unless you are not a person, as long as you are a person, it is impossible to do it, unless you are a soldier after rigorous training, you can do it in an orderly manner in the face of the enemy's projectiles, and constantly complete loading, aiming, and firing, it is obvious that Jiannu did not learn this, so soon after the two armies began to shoot at each other, the Wuzhen Chaoha battalion under the command of King Sanshun was in a mess.
After a short firefight, there were finally slave soldiers who couldn't bear such psychological pressure, and began to retreat in panic, wanting to stay away from these terrible opponents.
King Sanshun stood behind the formation of their respective soldiers, looking at the scene in front of them with a pale face, and they were all at a loss, they knew very well that they were not the opponents of the other party's Dazhong army at all, but could they withdraw?
Behind them, there is the Jiannu masters who are eyeing them tightly with swords, guns, bows and crossbows staring at them, as long as they dare to retreat, then what awaits them is not just the artillery fire of the Dazhong Army, those Jiannu masters will not be merciful to their subordinates at all, and they will definitely slaughter them here, and these generals who have finally mixed up to this point, Huang Taiji will definitely not be polite to them, so whether it is Kong Youde or Geng Zhongming or even Shang Kexi, There was a look of despair at this moment.
"Don't mess around! No refund! Whoever dares to mess up again will be killed immediately! Come! Stop them for me! ......" The three big traitors all roared at this time, commanding their own soldiers to go up.
And their own soldiers immediately pounced forward like wolves, and turned their swords and guns at some of the soldiers who tried to turn around and flee, and the result was that immediately after the slave formation, a rain of blood also rose, and at least more than 100 routs were immediately slaughtered by these soldiers behind the formation.
Some of the slave soldiers really cried, in front of them was a rain of bullets, and behind them was a bright butcher's knife, no matter what they did, it was a dead word waiting for them, the slave soldiers in addition to huddled together in a hurry, panicked with trembling hands, busy filling the bird or three-eyed guns in their hands with gunpowder, they could only wait to be knocked to the ground by the fire guns of the Great Chinese Army.
The slave soldiers were forced to carry out a desperate counterattack, but in a panic, many of them began to make mistakes in their busyness, either someone loaded gunpowder and forgot to load the projectile, or someone loaded too much gunpowder, or loaded a few projectiles, and when the fire was fired, it was called lively! Some people put empty guns, except for a bang, nothing can be fired, some slave soldiers simply have bird guns in their hands, and they directly explode in their hands, and they are blown up to the ground with blood on their faces and roll on the ground, and some people do not wait to raise their hands, they go out of the fire, and simply knock the people around them to the ground.
Huang Taiji pulled out a black line in the rear formation from afar, is this the Wuzhen Chaoha Battalion that he has spent countless times to set up in the past two or three years? Is this the Wuzhen Chaoha Battalion that he had only inspected a few months ago and was very satisfied with? Is this the Wuzhen Chaoha Battalion he expects to be able to return the favor to his own body in the way of others?
"The same" tactics, the "same" equipment, and the same Han barbarians, why is the gap between the performance of the two sides so big after waiting on the battlefield? In order to build this Han army that specializes in dealing with the thieves, he almost took out everything at the bottom of the box and armed these tens of thousands of Han soldiers, but what was the result? Is that how it turned out?
Even if he Huang Taiji is really a pig, he can also see that these Wuzhen Chaoha battalions formed by him are not opponents at all, and he was counting on these Han soldiers of the Han army flag to be able to consume a large number of the Xingtian thieves on the opposite side, and win them a chance to defeat each other in the field, but the result surprised them, the masters, these Wuzhen Chaoha battalions that they finally formed with great difficulty and are also based on firearms, and the Dazhong Army on the opposite side is not a grade army at all. This way of shooting at each other with guns is just to let these Han soldiers go up and send them to death.
"Why?" Huang Taiji couldn't help but roar angrily, and he didn't know why he was asking who he was asking, or if he was asking himself.
But no one can give him a reasonable explanation at this time, it turns out that in their eyes, it is not a powerful musket at all, but at this time, in the hands of the large Chinese army on the opposite side, the power of the musket is vividly exerted, so that when they face such an army, there is no good restraint at all.
"Your Majesty! It's not the way to do it! The soldiers and horses of the king of Sanshun, if they continue to fight like this, they will completely collapse! Let's send the Mongolian cavalry! Zilharang really couldn't stand it anymore and said to Huang Taiji.
At this time, it was only less than half an hour, and the more than 10,000 soldiers of the Wuzhen Chaoha battalion under the command of King Sanshun were already killed and wounded in front of the array, and in front of the array, a large number of corpses of Han soldiers had been piled up, and roughly calculated, at least more than 2,000 people had been killed and wounded at this time, and there may be more.
What is even more terrifying is that at this time, they saw from a distance that the artillery of the Great Chinese Army was also slowly advancing, reaching a place closer to the front of the battlefield, and began to stop and deploy, and it was about to launch a new round of artillery bombardment.
Huang Taiji gritted his teeth and shook his head: "Pass the decree down, so that Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and Shang Kexi must not take half a step back, otherwise the military law will be engaged!" If these men are useless, what are they left to do?
Lingbuyende, Ngetu, Husha, Sharibudoni...... Get ready to strike! Fight from the flanks and disrupt the line of the Torture Thieves with their Mongol cavalry! Deal with the people of King Sanshun! ”
Huang Taiji is really ruthless, since this battle has been fought to such a point, if he withdraws the Wuzhen Chaoha battalion of King Sanshun now, then the morale of the whole army will collapse immediately, and now his goal has not been achieved, there is still a period of time before he withdraws his troops, during this period of time, he must consume more of these foreign generals, and he will not be able to control them after the province returns! While he is on the battlefield now, he can also use their army of Jiannu to suppress these people, he must consume them as much as possible, and at the same time use them to consume some more men and horses of the large army.
So Zilharang had to nod and agree, and sent a few Baya soldiers to immediately go down and start to spread the holy decree of Huang Taiji, just now Huang Taiji pointed to Buyandai, Engetu and others, is the Mongolian Eight Banners of the solid mountain Ezhen, at this time the strength of the Mongolian Eight Banners is not much, each banner is only a few thousand cavalry, after this period of attrition, only the four banners of Mongolia still retain their strength, but even these four banners of Mongolia, Huang Taiji will also see them as a threat in the future, so although he has already thought, It is impossible for them to win today, but even if they are defeated, he will consume more of the elite of the Mongols, you must know that the Mongolian steppe is too vast, once they go back, these Mongols will immediately take refuge in the Dazhong and North Korea, and become their enemies of Jiannu, so he does not allow such a threat to exist, even if he withdraws his troops, he must consume the last elite soldiers of these Mongols as much as possible, so that they cannot become a threat to their Jiannu in the future.
Everybody's got eyes! How could those Eight Banner Mongolian banner owners not see all this happening on the battlefield? After hearing Huang Taiji's will, Bu Yandai and the others scolded in their hearts, and they immediately guessed Huang Taiji's thoughts, knowing that Huang Taiji was asking them to die.
At present, there are still a large number of men and horses in the Dazhong army that have not yet been put into the battlefield, and they Mongols have not tasted the bitterness of these terrible Dazhong weapons these days, although they still think that their Mongolian cavalry is the brave warrior in this world, but they have to admit the decline of their Mongols.
Think about how they have to surrender to the feet of the Jiannu Tartars in recent years, although it is uncomfortable to be bullied, but the Jiannu masters who follow them are not too bad, at least they often follow their masters to the south, and they will be used as consumables and cannon fodder, but the Ming army is really unbearable, so that they can only rely on these Jurchen Tartars, and they can't vote for a new master, so every time they follow their Jiannu masters into the customs and loot, the Jiannu masters eat meat, and they can at least get some bones and soup, But this time, Huang Taiji led his troops south, but not only did they not catch a fart, but all the troops lost their troops and were called by Jiannu as fools.
Now I see that King Sanshun's Wuzhen Chaoha Battalion was beaten by others, and this battle is obviously impossible to win, but Huang Taiji also asked them to take the remaining Mongolian soldiers to rush into battle, isn't it clear that they will be sent to death?
Therefore, as soon as they heard Huang Taiji's will, these Mongols who were lined up behind the camp of Wuzhen Chaoha immediately made an uproar, and all of them showed their anger, and some of them immediately shouted and cursed, claiming that they would not do it.
And Buyandai and other Mongolian banner lords wanted to go to Huang Taiji to intercede, not to let the Mongols drain their blood here, but suddenly someone exclaimed, and following the guidance of some people, they saw those cannons that were originally aimed at the battlefield, and at this time, I don't know why, they suddenly turned the muzzle of the cannon and aimed at their position.
So the scalps of these Mongols went numb all of a sudden, and when they looked back at their wings and the soldiers of the Eight Banners who built slaves behind them, they were all staring at them one by one, and some of the slave soldiers had even drawn out the long arrows in the sack and put them on the bowstring in their hands, obviously ready to clean them up.
Buyandai and other Mongolian banner owners were even more furious, and scolded in their hearts, how could this Huang Taiji want to fight to the death with the Dazhong army! It's just that they want to consume these Mongolian soldiers and those Han soldiers here!
