Chapter 582: The Bloody Battle of Bali Bridge (Part II)

The cavalry on both wings, the war horses under the seats, were completely frightened by the huge explosion in mid-air, and did not obey the command. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Moreover, these thirty or so Congreve rocket launchers have an extremely fast rate of fire, adjusting their range according to the angle of elevation, and although the shooting accuracy is very poor, the fast rate of fire is enough to compensate for any other shortcomings.

As Tan Shaoguang continued to give orders full of excitement, in just half a minute, the second round of rocket artillery roared out again. And this second round of rocket artillery has increased to more than 50 rounds. Suddenly, the Qing troops who had swarmed to the ground once again crawled to the ground, and no one wanted to stand up and suffer such a terrifying bombardment.

Monk Lingqin's face turned purple, and he trembled with the treasure knife given by Xianfeng in his hand. He never expected to run into this murderous thing that others had mentioned.

It was when he was in his thirties that he listened to the scene when the rebellious general Yishan talked about the battle against Yingyi in Guangzhou City. Seng Lingqin still remembers that at that time, when Yishan talked about Yingyi's ferocious rocket artillery, his face changed completely, and he was still disdainful at that time, thinking that Yishan had no courage.

But he didn't expect that now he would encounter this kind of murderous thing by himself and the Guangdong thief, and he concluded that this must be the kind of rocket artillery that Yishan said at the beginning!

Knowing that he could no longer hesitate at this moment, Monk Lingqin brandished his sword and ordered the cavalry on both wings to attack quickly.

At this time, on the opposite side of the thief position, smoke and dust rose everywhere, the flames soared into the sky, and nearly 100 rockets dragged red tail flames, roaring towards the Mongolian cavalry on both sides. These rockets landed and exploded, igniting a raging fire, the grass under the feet of the Mongolian cavalry suddenly became a sea of fire, the frightened war horses carried the panicked riders to flee in all directions, and even some war horses rushed to the Qing army foot soldiers in the middle, the Qing army suddenly formed a chaotic formation, chaotic, and had no intention of fighting.

Immediately afterwards, another round of guns rang out, and more than 2,000 bullets were fired at the camp of the Qing army, nearly a hundred paces away, and the Qing troops were shot one after another and fell to the ground.

Before the gunfire stopped, rows of rockets rose again, rockets flew like rain, and the Qing army's already chaotic formation burned everywhere. At this time, the field mortar also opened fire, and the fire in the sky, even in the middle of the day, was unusually bright.

The battlefield was filled with gunsmoke. Monk Greenqin held the hand of the treasure knife tightly, and because he grasped it too tightly, the tiger's mouth cracked and oozed blood, but he didn't realize it at all.

Monk Greenqin's eyes were red, and he didn't know whether he was smoked by gunpowder, or he knew that the battle was completely defeated and the Qing Dynasty would be over, and the tears left behind. His heart was terrified, and his brain exploded with a buzzing sound, and those originally gorgeous and spectacular scenes, in his opinion, were like a sad song, and the sky was as red as blood.

Several rounds of rocket artillery came again, and no one among the Qing troops shouted, and the Qing soldiers who had been afraid for a long time finally could no longer suppress the fear in their hearts.

Endless rounds of rocket artillery, as well as dense guns like flying locusts, constantly screaming when people were shot, and constantly being ignited by rockets, which then caused the gunpowder they carried with them to explode, mutilated hands and feet, and scorched black all over the body.

Seeing all this, these full-flag disciples who have always been fighting cocks and walking dogs are really stupid and terrified! They never thought that the battlefield would be so cruel, and it was not as easy as catching a few thieves. Originally, I thought that the thieves were sharp artillery, but now that there is no artillery, they are following behind the invincible Mongolian iron cavalry, nearly 20,000 people rushed to kill 10,000 thief soldiers, even if they don't say that they killed the, at least it was no problem to defeat. But I didn't expect that the thieves had no artillery, and this rocket artillery that was even more terrifying than artillery came out!

This is an officer and soldier rushing to kill the thieves, it is simply going to die! And this battlefield is like hell on earth, and the rocket artillery of the thieves is like a demon, making them nightmares, and even some Manchu soldiers are scared out. Those rocket launchers are miserable, and no one wants to rush forward again.

I don't know who it is, I shouted Eniang, these children with full flags, only to find out at this moment that they especially recalled the hot food in the kilns and courtyards in the alleys and alleys in Beijing, so a thought arose in everyone's hearts: flee back to Beijing!

So, in the interval after another round of rockets that seemed to be endless, thousands of flag soldiers threw down their arquebuses and spears, ignored them, and turned and fled. Even, those counselors took the lead in turning around and running away.

Monk Greenqin, who suddenly woke up, found that he had fled dozens of steps with thousands of full flags. He wanted to stop it, but where else could he stop it?

"Defeated, defeated!" Monk Lingqin sighed, he didn't expect that the elite soldiers of the Great Qing Dynasty would be so timid and unable to support it so quickly. Thinking of the Bali Bridge being captured, the entire capital was completely open to the thieves, looking at the thieves' artillery and this ferocious rocket artillery, it is estimated that the capital is also difficult to hold!

It's over. And he will be the biggest sinner of the Qing Dynasty! Thinking of this, Monk Lingqin's chest tingled, his throat was sweet, and he spit out a mouthful of blood. He pulled out the sword used by the Taizu Nurhachi given to him by Xianfeng, and he was ashamed, and with a sudden tremble, he wanted to touch his neck and commit suicide.

At this moment, several big hands grabbed the tip of the knife violently, dripping with blood, but clenched tightly. But it was the personal soldiers beside him, who saw that Monk Greenqin was about to commit suicide, and hurriedly stopped him. At this moment, the deputy commander Ildonga rushed over, and when he saw this, he was shocked and cried: "Lord, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood!" The emperor still needs your protection, and the Qing Dynasty also needs your protection, don't you think about it! ā€

The guards around him also persuaded and begged repeatedly, if Monk Lingqin died in battle or committed suicide, none of them would survive.

After a period of persuasion, he came back to his senses, and under the support of Yiledonga and a cadre of personal soldiers, he led the troops to withdraw from the king in the direction of Chaoyangmen in the capital.

Before retreating, Seng Lingqin issued an order, asking the Mongol horse team at the Bali Bridge led by Xiling'a, the commander of Chahar, to desperately resist the captive army, prevent the pursuit, and leave enough time for the main force of the Qing army to withdraw to Beijing.

After that, Monk Lingqin led 3,000 Mongolian cavalry and more than 10,000 full-banner foot soldiers to Beijing City.

And Tan Shaoguang saw from a distance that the Qing army wanted to escape, and he was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered the infantry to charge and assault. Except for the 2,000 soldiers who fired rocket artillery and continued to fire, the remaining 5,000 musketeers and 2,000 spearmen intercepted the Qing army on the flank.

In the process of escaping, the monk Lingqin war horse was also injured by a rocket shell, which threw him off the horse, but fortunately, the soldiers on the side gave up the war horse and helped him on the horse to continue to escape. The Qing army was like a severed fly, scattering and fleeing.

The infantry of the Qing army, who had completely lost their command, was already weak, and after a period of fright and flight, they were panting and shouting, and Tan Shaoguang ordered the soldiers of the capture army to shout in unison: "Those who surrender will not die!" Suddenly, half of the Qing soldiers with weak and cold legs completely collapsed to the ground, crying and begging for mercy.

The other half of the Qing soldiers fled more quickly, but they did not all follow to the city of Beijing to the west, and the target was too big to follow Seng Lingqin, but they scattered and fled, some of them scattered into the surrounding fields, and the other part was killed and captured by the marines of the 5th and 10th Divisions.

On the other side, thousands of Mongolian cavalry on the Bali Bridge were on the verge of collapse after being bombarded indiscriminately by three divisions of the captive army, losing nearly 2,000 men and horses.

The Mongol cavalry rushed to the right side of the Bali Bridge, brandishing bows and arrows, sabers, and shouting to kill the sky, at this moment, they only had courage left. Braving the enemy's dense artillery fire, he rushed to the artillery position of the begging army and shouted forward, but the funny thing was that he didn't even have enough artillery mounts for the captive army, let alone rushed into the captive army's array.

The Qing soldiers could not rush within twenty paces, and the place was subjected to intensive and accurate fire, and the offensive was frustrated, and then turned to the left to charge, and after tossing back and forth a few times, it was found that there were less than 3,000 horsemen left.

At this time, Chahar Dutong Xiling'a, who personally led the cavalry to rush to kill, suddenly received a military order from the monk king, his face was pale, his face was desperate, and he absolutely ordered to launch a final attack on the begging army under the bridge.

Hearing this order, the Mongolian cavalry, who suddenly woke up, looked up, but happened to see the Qing soldiers and the pursuers of the captive army retreating to Beijing like a tide in the western field, and then they understood that their Mongolian hero, the prince monk Gelqin from the Horqin steppe, had already fled. And they, cleanly abandoned.

Suddenly, at this moment, the three thousand cavalry heart like ashes, instantly lost their spirit, like a dead corpse rushed to the begging army, so resolutely, was fired by rows of muskets in turn, under the bombardment of artillery fire, completely collapsed, the blood and flesh on the bridge flew sideways, except for more than 500 cavalry to flee backwards, the rest of the rest were killed in front of the captive army, to death, did not rush into the camp of the captive army.

Dutong Xiling'a, who was covered in blood, endured the pain, looked at the black banner leaning on the bridge, which was riddled with bullets, this was the order flag of the monk king, showed a wry smile, and muttered in his mouth: "The Qing Dynasty is dying!" With that, he drew his saber and slashed at his neck.

The sun shone on the Bali Bridge deck, and it was bloody.
