Chapter 424: The Official Beginning
Twenty bronze cannons, three rounds of cannons, the entire hill was already filled with white gunsmoke.
The Qing army looked up, and the figure loomed, only feeling like a heavenly soldier thundering.
After the shelling, the tight Qing army phalanx, like the ground ploughed by oxen, appeared one after another gaps, and the ground was full of stumps and broken bodies, as well as soldiers who fell to the ground and wailed.
"Ahh Yes!! The screams, one after another, made Man Dahai finally unable to calm down.
If Gao Yihuan is allowed to continue to bombard, without the need for barbarian soldiers and horses to rush, the big array will collapse.
The grandson is the grandson, and the Manda Sea is a bird, which can be hard and soft, and can bend and stretch.
Now he has understood the reason why Gao Yihuan ambushed him, but put up a defensive formation.
Gao Manzi relied on artillery to bombard him from a long distance, forcing him to take the initiative.
At this moment, Man Dahai finally knew why Prince Yu was eating turtles at the hands of Gao Manzi, this guy was really an old coward, too cunning and insidious.
At this time, Man Dahai had already put away his contempt, and even regretted it a little, and when he found Gao Manzi, he did not evacuate decisively.
Now the distance between the two armies is too close, and Gao Manzi still has 6,000 horse troops, and retreating is equivalent to collapse.
Seeing that the large array was torn apart by shells, it was impossible for him to continue to be beaten passively, so he shouted an order without consulting anyone.
The generals of the Qing army were also aware that the situation was not optimistic, and they didn't mention the stubble just now, they could see that they couldn't continue to stand and be beaten.
Man Dahai looked at Ye Chen and gritted his teeth, "You lead a 5,000-foot army to destroy the barbarian artillery array." I'll let Ma Jun hold you down. ”
"Wow!" Ye Chen saluted, solemnly received the order, and hurriedly went to transfer troops.
For a while, in the Qing army's array, the horn sounded suddenly, Ye Chen pulled his horse and walked to the west of the round formation, after some transfer, the Qing army's round formation, as if it had been cut off a piece, nearly 5,000 green battalion infantry troops, slowly separated from the formation.
At the same time, a Mongolian Eight Banner Army of 3,000 people immediately divided into two groups and galloped out of the formation, guarding the two wings of the front infantry army and pressing the formation for Ye Chen.
Man Dahai looked at the battlefield with a serious expression, but the screams around him were endless, which made him feel extremely irritable, and the Qing soldiers also showed timid expressions under the shelling.
They can't help but be afraid, even if they are tower-like men, if they smash over, their heads will be opened instantly, and the red and white will flow all over the ground, how can it not make people frightened.
Fighting head-on, there is still a chance to kill the enemy, now standing is the same as drawing lots and waiting for lightning strikes, no one knows whether the next shot will be smashed to themselves, so that the standing Qing army is terrified, as soon as he hears the whistling of the cannonball, he can't help but move his body while praying in his heart, "Smash the grandson next to you, don't hit me." ”
Suddenly, Man Dahai turned over and dismounted, walked to the side of a wailing Qing army with a broken arm not far away, and suddenly pulled out his waist knife, a white light flashed, and the screams stopped abruptly.
Many Qing soldiers saw a cloud of blood mist rising, and Man Dahai, whose face was covered with blood, raised a human head high, and then glared fiercely at several other wounded people nearby, and said fiercely: "If you disturb the morale of the army, I will kill you!" ”
Several Qing soldiers covered in blood, seeing this scene, turned pale one by one, bit the back of their hands with their teeth, and shook their heads in horror.
Seeing this, Man Dahai threw away his head and set his sights on the battlefield from the beginning.
The Qing army around was silent, even if it was smashed, they didn't dare to dodge, and the soldiers were worried that they would be killed by Mandahai to vent their anger.
Eat a shot, how much it hurts, you can't scream, it's really ruthless.
At this time, under the banner of Wei Wujun's Daxu, Gao Yihuan saw the Qing army marching forward and rushing towards the artillery array, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and he waved his hand and ordered: "Let Bai Wenxuan be sure to protect the safety of the artillery array." ”
At the foot of the hill occupied by the artillery team, Gao Yi arranged a battalion and two non-commissioned officers, totaling more than 5,000 elite soldiers to shelter the artillery array.
"Dashuai, the Tartars have moved, should we move?" Zhao Daxian asked.
Gao Yihuan saw the clear formation, but shook his head, "Don't worry, the artillery will continue to bombard, and when their attack on the artillery array is blocked, the sea will inevitably increase troops, and we will move again when the time comes!" ”
At this time, under the artillery array, the soldiers of Wei Wu had already set up a formation, the soldiers set up horse rejection stakes in front of the formation, the firearms team stood behind the obstacles, and the killer team stood behind the firearms team.
Wei Wujun's firearms team, a team of twelve people, three teams for each flag, they took the flag as a unit, lined up in three rows of small phalanxes, and then lined up along the line of obstacles.
Between each firearms flag team, there is a gap, and behind the gap, there is a team of killers standing with cold soldiers, also lined up.
The firearms team in front of the team is staggered with the killer team, so that when the enemy rushes up for close combat, the firearms team can calmly retreat, and the killer team can rush out of the gap and engage the enemy in close combat.
A platoon of firearms, a platoon of killers, at the foot of the hillside, formed the first line of defense, and one hundred and fifty paces behind them, there was the same line of defense, halfway up the slope.
These two lines of defense, each with 2,000 people, Bai Wenxuan led 1,000 people, and stationed the artillery array, becoming the last line of defense, to do the final round.
At this time, the cold wind was howling, and the three thousand Mongolian horse army, divided into two groups, first raised the speed, the horse's hooves stepped through the frozen Rushui, stopped at a distance of 500 steps from the Wei army's front, stabilized the position, controlled a large open space, and guarded against the Wei cavalry's surprise attack on the 5,000 foot soldiers who were crossing the Rushui.
After Ye Chen led the 5,000 Qing army across the river, he took a look at the defense of the Wei Wu army, and immediately made a decision, ordering the fire gun to be in front of him, sticking it up and bombarding it to disrupt the Wei army's infantry formation, and then the army swarmed up and tore apart the Wei army's defense line.
After crossing the Rushui, the Qing army began to form a group for a short time.
At this time, there were four artillery pieces on the hilltop artillery array, which stopped shelling, and were dragged by war horses from the new, and were pulled out of the digging pit respectively, moving towards the two flanks of the Wei Wu army's front, two on each side.
Ye Chen rode behind the formation, and saw that his subordinate infantry had regrouped, and looked at the defense line of the mountain with a solemn expression, pulled out his sword, and shouted with his front finger: "Crush them!" ”
The Qing army in the front row, led by the rebel general Zu Kefa, he is the adopted son of Zu Dashou, with good ability and is very appreciated by the Qing court.
Ye Chen gave an order, Zu Kefa's heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate, and as soon as he waved his hand, the Qing army in front of him stepped forward.
The Qing army, which was armed with cold soldiers, followed behind the gunned soldiers, slowly advancing, pressing towards the line of the Wei army.
For a time, the first front of the Wei Wu army, the front line of the Qing army, was like two parallel lines approaching, and it was like the coast and the waves that came.
The Qing army's hands holding the firecracker, seeing Wei Wujun waiting in the distance, couldn't help sweating slightly, his mouth was dry, and his hands and feet were a little trembling.
Fortunately, the Qing soldiers looked left and right, and they were all their comrades, who were lined up in a line and advanced in a dense formation, which made them feel very secure.
At this moment, on both sides of the Wei Wu army's front, there were several loud noises, and a cloud of white smoke was raised.
As soon as a soldier glanced to the side, he saw his comrades around him explode and be torn to pieces by shells~
"Mother, I'm shocking Lao Tzu~" The Qing soldiers were so frightened that they almost collapsed on the ground, and their faces turned pale in an instant~
