Chapter 488. Brutal tug-of-war
After a quiet winter, the two armies that were holding back their anger seemed to be about to burst out in a short period of time, and the ice and snow melted, and the earth thawed for only ten days, and half of the land of Liaodong had already been lit up everywhere.
The first is Siping City.
The surrendered Liaodong Ming army was also born in the ploughing, and the hoe seemed to be several times more powerful than the battle, and in ten days, they had dug five winding trenches outside the city of Siping, like a blooming lotus, and Pinto towards the towering city.
However, in the Dongjiang River, Kong Youde, the commander of the Acheng Army, has never been a passive defensive temper, how can he easily abandon the position outside the city and be pressed into the city to be a turtle with a shrunken head? At the beginning of this war, Huang Taiji was fiercely counterattacked.
"Ready, Fa Ye !!"
A row of wooden shelves and low walls were carried by the sappers and quickly set up in front, and then the Dongjiang riflemen in a row quickly followed, and the killing from the dark fort was too sudden, and the soldiers were still digging pits, and Leng Buding heard this shout, and then, crackling bullets hit like a storm.
It was really a sudden massacre, and within a few hundred meters of the front, the troops who were digging a pit with a hoe suddenly burst out of a bloody hole in their bodies or heads, screaming and falling into the newly buried pit.
"Up! Whoever fills two trenches will be pardoned!"
Chief of Staff Shen Rui's voice sounded again, and it was their turn to appear again, carrying a large basket of dirt on his arm, following the dwarves of the half-orc army, Zhang Ruolin was panting and running out, the trench was still three hundred meters away from the city wall, it was really called a hundred meters of sprint, panting, the basket was so far away from the dirt and stones that the corpse of the surrendered army that had just been shot was buried in the pit.
The time of this surrender is still short, and he has not followed the robbery of the Qing army bandit group to enjoy its benefits, and he was first sent to dig a pit as cannon fodder.
"Up! Above! Kill them!"
There was such a big mistake, the commander of the Qing army at the front, Tulai, was also angry and red-eyed, grinning and waving a big knife like thunder, and the Qing troops who were pressing the formation behind him also rushed up in an instant, and the arrows were overwhelmingly shot back.
The shield and low wooden wall that was moved out played a role, and as soon as the body was short, most of the three rows of Dongjiang troops were hidden behind the breastwork, and the diffuse arrows stared at the wall, half-squatting, these Dongjiang troops were still shooting, rushing out of the rout, and the Qing army, which had not yet formed a formation, opened blood holes in their chests one by one, filling in the ditch they had just dug.
"Resist, these bright dogs have powerful firearms, and they are scum when they rush up and cut their house!"
With a big wooden shield and a big wooden shield, while running, a burly and round-waisted Qing army Niu Lu Ezhen was still hissing loudly to boost morale, speaking kung fu, this brute bull also stabbed with lightning, confirming what he said, and cut down a half-orc legion that had poured clean soil and ran back in a panic to the ground.
originally thought that he had taken a human head, and his courage was already quite big, but seeing that most of the people whose backs were cut off fell on his feet and convulsed, Zhang Ruolin was still devastated, hating his parents for not giving him two more legs, throwing the soil basket on the ground, pulling out his legs and running back.
Although the last time I fought against Dongjiang, I was not intimidated, but after all, Mao Jue's rifle array cannon left too much impression on the Qing army, and there was also previous experience, which was encouraged by him, the charging Qing army was really boiling with beast blood, and the pace was even faster, and the speed of a hundred-meter sprint rushed to the front.
Looking at the Dongjiang army behind the low wall still loading muskets, the burly Niu Lu couldn't help but burst out with bloodthirsty ferocity in his pupils, the shield in his hand was thrown, he jumped high with a knife in both hands, and cut off his head, however, he just jumped into the air, and a shocking uneasiness in his heart suddenly rose.
Shrouded in his blade, that Dongjiang man, with that square face of the Chinese character, not to mention panic, was soaked in a sneer that made him shudder.
The confidence of the master!
Puff~Puff~
Three bayonets were pierced in the chest, and before they landed, the man hung on the knife, and was immediately thrown out with a bead of blood in the sky.
Click, pop.
The world has slowed down, and the blood beads are flying wildly, this Niu Lu is really unbelievable to watch Niu Lu who rushed up with him being stabbed to the ground by lightning-like bayonets, are these the Ming army?
Confused, darkness engulfed him completely.
"Brothers, them!"
Even if it is a cantonment soldier, 500 bayonet stabs a day during the slack time is also indispensable, and the field troops of the pro-soldier corps also have to train artillery fire and shooting, and even many cantonment soldiers have bayonet fighting skills that are stronger than those of the pro-corps, and the scarecrow has long been tired of piercing, and they simply do not load ammunition, and the excited Dongjiang army kicked over the shield wall full of arrow shafts in front of them, and met it fiercely with bayonets.
Some of the Qing army's knives slashed on the Dongjiang cotton armor, cutting out a series of sparks, and some of the Dongjiang troops kicked people to the ground, and then the bayonet was stabbed in the chest, and the cannon fire of the newly built Siping city wall was also overwhelming, and the shells accurately fell about 80 meters in front of the battlefield, and the flying shells tore apart the Qing troops who wanted to come to support in a hurry, and the blood and corpses were also added to the trench.
…………
The battlefield of Siping City began a bloody battle, Mao Jue was not idle, besieging the city to send reinforcements, if the blocking of Mao Jue's army could not be completed, the Qing army could not complete the encirclement plan of Siping City at all, while digging Siping, Dolgon personally led the army and launched a fierce sniper attack on the Chinese troops of the Dongjiang Army.
This time the battlefield was in Liaoyuan in the later generations.
On the banks of the Huifa River, the two-story small bunker is still emitting black smoke, and on the Songjiang Plain opposite, the sound of neat steps has been heard, and the two Dongjiang troops of 100 people form a phalanx, and in the sound of the captain of the formation, they are marching forward neatly with bayonets, and in the front, the gunners who are driving the horses are pushing one field gun after another.
Such a phalanx, densely packed!
I didn't expect that Dongjiang would react so quickly, it was less than half an hour after taking the Dongjiang Volatile River Fortress, and Mao Jue had already raised a large army to take it! The Dorgon Dordor brothers hissed and shouted as hard as they could.
"Hurry up and bury the cannon! Ahead, put up the fence, hurry up!"
The Qing army also has Hongyi cannons, but their artillery photos are much more backward than the Dongjiang River, there is no gun mount, only a lonely gun body, the weight of the same caliber is about twice that of the Dongjiang red-coated cannon, it can only be erected on the ground when used, and it is extremely difficult to adjust the elevation angle.
"Stop! Standing cannons! Fa Ye!"
Turning the three-pound and six-pound gun carriage from behind the horse, raising the gun mount, and aiming at the Qing army on the Yumai Hills of Changbai Mountain opposite, the Dongjiang Army had already completed the artillery action, and with the order of the British businessman who wondered, more than 200 field guns roared together.
It was really like the New Year, with a roaring explosion, grenades and fireworks exploding on the heads of the Qing army, and the crackling shotguns smashed directly on people's heads, and the heads of the Qing soldiers who were busy were bleeding a lot.
Bang dang~
The swinging hands holding the iron shield were numb, and after avoiding the barrage, the iron shield was put down, and three pill-sized shotguns were deeply sunk into the shield, and at that end, on the Hongyi cannon position, the three Qing gunners were covered with blood, and the helmet was sunken down a large piece, lying directly on the half-erected cannon body, and the telescope looked at the Dongjiang army that was still loading, and Dolgon's cheeks couldn't help but twitch violently a few times.
Finally, he gritted his teeth fiercely, and his voice was full of madness, and he roared violently.
"Let the cavalry of Azig fight!"
Eight Banners Iron Horse, the pride of the Qing Dynasty! In the woods at the foot of the mountain, six oxen and two white flags and iron tools held high spears and steel knives, shouting and boiling blood to attack the flank of the Dongjiang army, and the earth shook by the horse's hooves seemed to tremble a little.
To say yes is not to be afraid is to be false! But after a long time of training, the Dongjiang Army's machinery was almost numb, and under Shen Rong's roar, more than 20 flank rifle phalanxes turned around neatly, raised their guns, and the sappers hurriedly threw the carrying obstacles, fences, and wooden teeth in front.
Even if the soldiers are stationed, there are nearly 300 rounds of live-fire training a year, and the shooting distance is almost familiar to the heart, and those who shoot without orders are deprived of all honor and benefits, and return home as cowards, not only will the family have to bear heavy taxes, but also be pointed at and looked down upon, which is even more uncomfortable than death, even if the heart is beating, everyone still gritted their teeth and waited for their officers' orders.
The sound of the horse's hooves reached the hearts of the people, and the smell of the horse's sweat seemed to rush straight to the front, holding the telescope and pinching the distance, almost a hundred meters, and the commanders of each formation threw their sabers forward violently without asking children.
"Fa Ye!"
This sound really lifted the burden of his heart, and the front row of infantry pulled the trigger fiercely, and a row of fire spewed out, and the galloping iron riders turned on their backs.
The front row retreated, the rear row made up, the power of the multi-stage shot made the fierce charging cavalry to the front by the time it was already a third, in the two armies are neighing and trying their best to bring terror and excitement in the roar, the galloping cavalry slammed into the middle phalanx, the infantry was knocked down and knocked away, some of the horses with broken bayonets in their bodies frantically scurried, and some of the Dongjiang infantry fell to the side and vomited blood violently.
This scene did not make Dolgon happy in the slightest, and only then did it disrupt several phalanxes, and the cavalry side, the left and right phalanxes Tetris stepped out, turned left and right, and the bayonets in all directions pierced up like thorn bushes.
Throwing the binoculars, Dorgon roared with smoke in his throat.
"Hurry up!"
…………
Farther away, farther north, the long flank of the Dongjiang River.
The two cavalry ran opposite each other, this one, the arrow rain was overwhelming, and the other end, the carbine with the short barrel of the cavalry was also crackling, and people on both sides were constantly falling under the horse, fighting in a circle, with the dead brothers, both sides had a tacit understanding to withdraw, but in less than ten minutes, a few miles away, the two ends were once again fiercely together.
On the hundreds of miles of front, the scout battle between the cavalry and the cavalry burst out like sparks, although it was short, but it was even more bloody.
You fought to the death, and the two largest military groups in Liaodong also showed your courage to fight to the death!
