Chapter 562. Yuan Gong's legacy
The dreary and chaotic war drums rose from the sky, and at that time, the army that had eaten breakfast quickly gathered into a battle formation under the urging of the golden drum, and from the sky, a sea of troops that occupied the entire horizon and covered the sky surged towards the Beijing division.
Biting the traditional military food pot helmet cake of the Ming Dynasty in his mouth, wearing it under the heavy military helmet, Wu Sangui's eyes glanced forward gloomily, in the battle of Songshan, the overwhelming Qing army had made him feel that there could be no more spectacular military force in the world, but now, he saw it.
There are too many displaced people who have become a climate!
"Uncle!"
Just when Wu Sangui looked stiff, a voice full of anger suddenly sounded beside him, and he turned back suddenly, Li Benshen, who was also his general in eastern Liaodong, had his helmet facing down, and hugged him heavily, and the general's instructions made Wu Sangui finally come back to his senses, and the next second, his originally slightly confused eyes also became sharp.
Now that the army is already here, let's bleed a river! How many years have you fought with the Tartars, and the Guanning army has not been destroyed, what can you Li Chuang do? Full of murderous intentions, habitually re-fastening the helmet, Wu Sangui ordered in a murderous low voice.
"Frustrate the army in front of the artillery, frustrate the enemy's sharp spirit with heavy artillery, and the sword and shield of Wu Zhimao's department are high! Once the thieves are in battle, kill them! Yiding Turbid, with me will be the flag!"
"Honorable Order!"
At this time, he was still serving under the banner of the Ming Empire, and he was still full of imperial pride in his belly, and the Guanning Iron Army was still the golden beam and jade pillar of the empire, Li Benshen was also full of courage, and responded loudly, and then ran back to the formation with capable strides.
However, without waiting for the Guanning military town to unfold, the sound of artillery first broke out from the military town, from the Guanzhong to take Yuan Chonghuan's Tuntian base, when Li Zicheng had more than 200 cannons, and continuously broke Taiyuan Ningwu, the poor and frightened Dashun pulled out all the cannons that could be brought, and the three hundred artillery guns roared in unison, and the cannonballs were like raindrops to cover the Jingshi City, and hit the Ming army position in front of the city wall and the city gate.
The dust of the large masses was raised by the artillery fire, the old and brittle city bricks were torn apart by the heavy iron balls, and a female wall collapsed with a bang, and it was indeed a long-lost battle, and the two Beijing troops hiding behind the female wall were shattered by the fragments, and fell off the city with a miserable scream, and there were 1,200 people behind who were directly frightened and collapsed, and they turned around and fled.
Fortunately, the Beijing division is still some elite, the eunuch Wang Dehua, who supervised the battle at the front door, did not hesitate to order his own soldiers to shoot, a crackling gunshot, the Beijing camp that had just escaped from the city wall was killed more than 30 people, and then the sergeants of the Royal Horse Prison Yongwei Battalion swarmed up, and pressed the soldiers who did not come and fled back to the city wall and the injured and screaming sergeants directly to the ground, and the big blade clicked off the back of the head, and one by one the heads rolled out like watermelons.
He is always ruthless to his own people, pointing at those heads, Wang Dehua is teeth bared and shouted fiercely.
"Reward for those who fight bravely! Dare to retreat and flee, our family will kill his whole family! Bunnies! It's all guarded by our family!"
The lethality of the eunuch is still full in his roar, those scoundrels who spend money to come in and occupy the quota to eat empty salaries, and the ploppy ruffians have no choice but to hide behind the battlements and chant Amitabha Buddha, begging the Buddha to bless him.
Under the city, the earth and stone that was splashed by the cannonballs also came and went, and with a bang, a cannon even pierced the excavated trench wall, and several Guanning troops were also directly pierced by this cannon, and the blood splashed out, and even a pool of blood was sprayed directly on Wu Sangui's helmet.
Holding the telescope forward, he didn't move as if he didn't see it.
There are indeed many artillery cannons for the army, however, Li Zicheng's artillery battle still belongs to the idea of the peasant army, the artillery is placed in the army, protected by layers of army, then there is nothing to talk about, the shell landing point is all by chance, three rounds of shelling, thousands of heavy iron balls are scattered on the long battlefield, but the damage is not much, but this cannon sound for the army, the main role in morale has been revealed, looking at the messy officers and soldiers in the smoke of gunpowder, those invading infantry is already boiling with beast blood, and the sound of artillery stops, With the orders of the captains in charge of various departments, in an instant, thousands of troops of more than 100,000 people rushed out as if they were desperate.
What is the great cause of breaking into the king, in fact, the soldiers of the Dashun army don't care much, but in front of them is the imperial capital, behind the thick city wall, I don't know how much gold, silver and jewelry, wealth and children are waiting for them to harvest, their eyes are blood-red because of greed, one by one they don't even have armor, and the cannon fodder light infantry of the army who are still wearing the people's cloth clothes and clothes are running forward with all their might.
But at this time, their nightmare unfolded.
In the creaking sound, along the slope in the trench, the side box gun carriages they had seen in the Lushan battlefield slowly showed their heads, looking at the barrel of the Hessen Sen, the veterans of the Shun army who had escaped death subconsciously paused in fear, but the new mob Xinding who joined the Shun army was still dazed and ignorant and rushed forward with a big sword, but in the next second, whether it was retreating or brave, the end was the same.
The same hot iron ball pierced through the chamber, and a blood path was directly transmitted in the dense crowd, and the slanted shell smashed on the ribs, and the chest cavity collapsed directly, and the people in front of him fell heavily into the people behind him, and two or three people were killed by a cannon in a row, and some of the shells smashed into the air, but they bounced up again, and it was a large area of killing, and a breaking army was even scared silly, seeing a ricocheting bullet running towards his head, he opened his mouth and shouted in fear, but if his voice could be invulnerable, Everyone didn't have to fight, and with a clattering sound, his head exploded like a watermelon.
A round of shelling killed and injured at least hundreds of people, and the indomitable momentum of the indomitable army was immediately contained.
However, not only the Ming army has a pro-soldier supervision team, but also the breaking army, behind which is the muzzle of Hesse Sen's guns and the cold and shining arrows, the speed is a little slower, and the dense Dashun army is still crowded forward, but the slower, the more artillery fire will be, and after two rounds of shelling in a row, they finally rushed to the front of the official army.
Fear erupted into an unprecedented desire to destroy, and even some of the invading troops went crazy in fear, and in the last ten meters, almost every intruder was holding a knife and screaming forward, regardless of rushing forward, and the banner of Ming and Wu was about to be chopped over.
However, here, the gap between the mob and the professional troops is on display again, on the side of the side car, the neat spear suddenly pierced out, and there was no need to even stab hard, and in the sound of poof, one by one, the Dashun army who rushed too quickly directly crashed into the tip of the spear and died.
The sound of puff puff was continuous, the spear in front was violently withdrawn, and the back was stabbed out, in a short period of time, the front was directly stained red with blood for several hundred meters, and the chaotic corpses were dead, and the huge number of intrusive troops were forced to retreat by more than a thousand Guan Ning spear infantry.
After three steps, the spear army also began to scatter and loosen, but the offensive of the Guan Ning army was like a Tai Chi boxing, one ring after another, followed by the sword and shield hand from the two wings of the gun army, the heavy iron-clad tiger head round shield smashed those intruders, and then the knife stabbed down, and the sound of the knife slashing bones was like entering a slaughterhouse.
Although the number of people is absolutely superior, but the army is fully downwind, on the side car, the border army bird hand took turns to knock the trigger, rushing forward as if the hammer smashed in the direction, trembling violently, and then fell to the ground.
It was obviously a knife, but he slashed it hard, but he was blocked by the other party's understatement with a shield, and then Sergeant Guan Ning's broadsword was lightly teased, and with a pop, one by one Shunjun covered the disemboweling wound and knelt down screaming.
Looking at the excitement below, the Jingying Shenji Battalion at the head of the city also followed the dogs and people, pretending to be brave and also beat their own poisonous fire guns and assault artillery according to the head and face of the intruding army below, and the heavy iron sand bloomed in the crowd one by one.
Unlike Yuan Chonghuan's battle of Lushan, Wu Sangui didn't think of keeping the cavalry as the back hand to make a Jing Ke assassinate Qin with a desperate blow, standing under the banner of Wu Zi, looking at the Shun army that was fighting with his subordinates had been loosened, snorted coldly, stretched out his hand to put down the binoculars, Wu Sangui suddenly pulled out the big knife, turned over the horse beautifully, and followed his shouting, along the straight road of the trench that had already been arranged, recruiting the Yiding Tuqi composed of Liao people and good riders of the ethnic minorities outside the Guan, wearing more than ten pounds of iron armor, like an iron dragon along the flank, Listening to the heavy sound of horses' hooves, the Shun army blocking the edge of the army formation had just turned around, and the big blade had already swung down their necks.
It's really like cutting leeks, the heads fly up one by one like a polo, and the Shun army who didn't have time to escape was knocked down by the heavy horses, and in the shouts of fear and despair, the hooves of the horses, the size of the bowl mouth, stomped on the chest, abdomen, head and thighs, and trampled into meat paste after a few rounds.
More than 1,000 iron cavalry were like scalpels, just stabbed in the soft underbelly of the breaking army, cutting the thick military formation, and the front army, which had already been at the end of the strong crossbow, was also like encountering the last straw that overwhelmed the camel, crying and shouting and throwing down the weapons and flags, and fleeing back, the tide-like Dashun army, after dropping countless corpses, retreated in embarrassment!
The cannon support on the city wall, the combination of artillery carriages and cavalry under the city, this is Yuan Chonghuan's most classic tactics back then, even Nurhachi was beaten by him and fled from Ningyuan City in embarrassment, this time, it was played by Wu Sangui again, a black horse was killed into a bloody horse, holding high the bloody big knife and pointing at the thick Dashun army in front of him, stepping on layers of corpses, Wu Sangui roared like a beast, the roar, even if Li Zicheng's heart was shocked, he suddenly stood up from his horse in disbelief, and shouted loudly in amazement.
"Among the officers and soldiers, there are still such fierce soldiers!"
After the shouting, he shouted again.
"Collecting !!"
