Chapter 499: All-Around Advantage (Page 1/1)

Not to mention the rifled guns of the Dragon Guard, there is a generation difference advantage over the flintlock guns of the firearms battalion. The Qing army's heavy guns against the Ming army's medium-sized guns were not equipped with fixed ammunition technology, so they were seven or eight percent slower in terms of rate of fire, so they couldn't beat even the broken camp.

In addition, the Qing army lacked artillery support, and the "queue to shoot" was about to determine the winner and loser, and at this time, the large-scale "failure" of the Qing army's firearms immediately became the last straw that crushed the camel. Suddenly, the entire Zhenghong Banner Firearms Battalion began to retreat.

Although Babutai couldn't understand the reason, he knew very well in his heart that once the mighty 20,000 horses retreated, no one would be able to stop it.

He looked at the flanks of the battle formation from afar, and saw that the cavalry brigade of Da Su and Chen Tai had already been activated—in fact, their movements were already very fast, but the main force of the infantry was too useless, and they could not parry before the cavalry rushed up.

Wait for the cavalry to disrupt the formation of the Southern Army, maybe there is still a chance! Babutai immediately drew his saber with red eyes, beckoned hundreds of Bayalas on his side to rush into the military formation, and kept shouting: "All go forward and engage the enemy!" Those who take half a step back, slash! ”

As he spoke, he swung his knife and cut down a flinching banner soldier, and those bayalas also responded, scattering and waving their knives to drive the soldiers to rush towards the Ming army.

"My lord, it's an enemy horseman!" Zhang Jiayu pointed to the north side, and then found that he also had a large group of Jianyu banner soldiers attacking on his right flank, "There are also soldiers in the south." ”

Zhu Linmiao nodded and said, "Order, the infantry of the Dragon Guard Army broke through in the middle, and then turned to the north to outflank." In fact, the infantry of the Dragon Guard Army in the middle had already formed an absolute suppression of the Jianyu on the opposite side, but he was worried that a rash surprise attack would give the Jianyu banner soldiers an opportunity to take advantage of. At this time, the captives have come from both wings, so the middle lane can be safely attacked.

He continued to command: "We must not fall into a state of facing the enemy many times, and let the infantry of the broken battalion on the north side turn into a hollow phalanx to resist the enemy cavalry. After the Dragon Guard defeated the right flank of the thieves in the middle, they rushed over to cooperate with the enemy. ”

"Yes!"

"As for the south side," Zhu Linmiao muttered, "concentrate all the cavalry and cooperate with the artillery to intercept the captive cavalry head-on." The infantry of the right flank battalion was responsible for defending the enemy head-on, and should be careful to build a reserve army. ”

"Yes!"

Zhu Linmi's order flag was waved, and all the units of the Ming army immediately moved according to the order.

First, the right wing of the Jianyu Firearms Battalion found that the pressure had dropped sharply, and the Ming troops on the opposite side stopped firing, quickly gathered and began to form a formation. Immediately, an officer shouted excitedly: "It's the Xiao Cavalry Battalion that has come up!" Rush with me to slaughter the dog! ”

Before he finished speaking, he heard an earth-shattering roar from the direction of the Chinese army, "Kill!" Immediately, the Dragon Guards in the middle rushed into the Qing army's firearms camp on the opposite side with the momentum of thunder.

The Qing army in the middle was originally unable to support under the fierce blows of the dragon guard's rifled guns, but they did not break up because of the forced force of the Baya Ladu battle officer behind them.

At this time, the Ming army pounced on them like hungry tigers, first shot the stunned captives with the bullets reserved in the chamber of the guns, and then raised their bayonets to stab at the approaching enemy troops, and the blood was all over the sky for a while.

The Jianzhou banner soldiers never expected that the southerners, who were as weak as sheep in the past, would be so fierce, even though they held long spears and short spears in their hands, they were afraid of the terrifying momentum of the Dragon Guard, and no one dared to step forward to fight.

Suddenly, the middle of the Qing army was like snow meeting a soldering iron, and a gap was broken in an instant. After the infantry of the Dragon Guard Army cut through the battle formation, they immediately turned to the left, quickly reloaded on the spot under the command of the commander, and fired a volley at the Qing firearms battalion on the north side.

The foot soldiers on the right flank of Jianyu had just rushed out for more than ten steps, when suddenly a dense bolt shot from his side, turning over on the spot. Some of the Jianyu officers hurriedly ordered their phalanx to turn left to defend themselves against the enemy, but those who were a little farther away were still unaware of it and still rushed forward.

Such a chaotic formation was simply a "send-off" in front of the Dragon Guards, and several battalions of the Dragon Guards began to advance with alternate cover tactics in great tacit understanding.

Three columns of 2,000 infantry men reloaded, fired, and charged in turn, steadily and quickly cutting into the enemy line on the right flank.

It was only at this time that Chen Tai's 5,000 Jianzhou cavalry and Li Zhongxing's 3,000 green battalion cavalry arrived in a hurry, only to see six unevenly arranged Ming army hollow phalanxes in front of them. There were more than 1,000 people in each formation, all pointing outward with short swords on the firearms, and there were some stragglers and artillery in the formation.

Chen Tai had the intention to bypass these strange phalanxes to save his right flank infantry, but these six phalanxes were more than a mile wide, and the formations were staggered back and forth to form a depth.

Chen Tai frowned, swung his knife forward, and led the army to kill through the seam of the two hollow phalanxes.

But it was no surprise that his iron cavalry was forced by the bayonets on the hollow phalanx, and had to pass through both sides of the phalanx. On both sides of the square array arranged in front and back of the pinzig, there is still another hollow square, so the "torrent" that was divided into two halves is again divided into two halves.

At the same time, the chaspersard and artillery in the formation continued to pour out firepower, and Chen Tai's department was instantly trapped in the gap of several phalanxes, and the men and horses lost their unified dispatch and ran around, and people were constantly killed under the horses.

Only then did Chen Tai realize that he had underestimated this strange battle formation, and hurriedly chose the nearest exit to run out of the firepower area of the hollow phalanx, and then sounded the horn to gather his subordinates, and it took a while to finally gather the men and horses again.

At this time, the Dragon Guard defeated the foot soldiers on the right flank of Babutai and quickly rushed to the side of the hollow phalanx of the broken camp.

At the same time, on the left flank of Jianguo, led by the heavy cavalry battalion of the Dragon Guard, followed by two and a half battalions of lancers and six battalions of hussars, almost all the cavalry of the Dragon Guard and the Broken Battalion were gathered, and a total of 5,000 men and horses were rushing towards the 6,000 Jianzhou Xiao cavalry led by Da Su.

Behind their flanks, the dragoon battalion, covering twenty Hongyi guns and all the Franco's machine guns, quickly established an artillery position a mile away.

This is the first large-scale face-to-head duel between the Ming cavalry and the Jianyu Xiaocai after Zhu Linmiao came to this time.

Dasu was still the old tactic of Jianyu, firing arrows from a long distance, and after getting close to the Ming cavalry, he quickly turned to the side and swept past the Ming army. Then go around in circles, make a U-turn, and do it all over again. Rely on the bow and arrow to repeatedly deplete the opponent's vital strength.

However, this time, under the reasonable combination of arms and scientific tactical arrangements of the Ming cavalry, they couldn't play this set.

The bows and arrows of the first few rounds of the captives all fell on the plates of the heavy cavalry, causing little damage. When the two sides staggered, the lancers and hussars of the Ming army immediately returned the color with a salvo of spring wheels and short guns, including Dasu's lieutenant general, and immediately two or three hundred people were shot and fell off their horses.
