Chapter 241: Bahai in the middle of the ambush
The reason why the city was able to hold the main road was because the defenders in the city threatened the attacking party's grain route. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoMany cities are not impossible to bypass, but if they are bypassed, the attacker's logistical baggage transportation lines will be threatened by the city, which is the key role of the city in defensive warfare. Ba Hai judged that the main force of the Wu army bypassed Baoding, directly took the Beijing division, and found the grain and grass of the Wu army, so he naturally would not let go of this excellent opportunity, and did not hesitate to attack the Wu army's grain and grass convoy first, and then return to King Jingqin after burning the grain and grass.
"Kill Wu Dog!" Crowds of Qing soldiers poured up towards the Wu convoy.
The Qing army rushed up, only to find that it had kicked an iron plate: on the cart in formation, more than a dozen cannon barrels stretched out, accompanied by the roar of several cannons, the shells fell into the crowd of Qing troops, pulling out more than a dozen flesh alleys, although it was a three-pound cannon, but the shells could beat people to pieces. As soon as the sound of the cannon passed, rows of feather arrows were shot out of the Wu army's vehicle array, but the Qing soldiers in front of them were blocked by shields, and the killing effect of the feather arrows was not very good. When the Qing army got closer, rows of white smoke came out of the Wu army's vehicle array, muskets rang out, and bullets pierced into the Qing army's formation fifty paces away.
After the roar of the musket, the three-pounder cannon roared again, and the cannonball smashed into the formation of the Qing army, as if smashing a row of tofu, smashing the sword and shield men in front of them and the people with shields.
The Qing army rushed to the front of the Wu army's chariot array, but saw Wu Jun's chariot array stretching out one long spear after another, constantly stabbing out. The pikemen were protected by vehicles, and the Qing saber and shield hands could not cut the pikemen of the Wu army, but they were stabbed to death in front of the chariot formation by the pikemen in batches.
"Overturn the Wu dog vehicle!" Someone shouted anxiously.
The Qing soldiers poured up regardless of the cost, several carts had been overturned by the Qing soldiers, and the pikemen of the Wu army, who had lost their protection, were chopped into meat by the Qing saber and shield hands.
"Attack! Storm! It's about to break the formation! Ba Hai stood on the point general platform piled up with wooden boxes, observed the battle between the two armies of Wu and Qing with a telescope, and saw that the car formation was about to be rushed away, Ba Hai shouted excitedly.
On the two wings of the Qing infantry, the Eight Banners cavalry and horses have been lined up, and when the infantry rushes into the Wu army's vehicle formation, the Eight Banners cavalry will take the opportunity to rush into the Wu army's formation and use cavalry to slash and kill the Wu army's infantry.
Just when Bahai was full of ambition and wanted to annihilate the grain convoy of the Wu army, someone suddenly came to report: "General! Big things are wrong! A large number of Wu dogs appeared behind us! ”
Before Bahai could turn his head, someone hurriedly reported: "Oh no! A large number of Wu dogs have appeared on our right flank and are approaching us! ”
Then another piece of bad news came: "General, something is wrong!" There are a large number of Wu dogs on our left wing! ”
"Where did so many Wu dogs come from?" Bahai's heart sank to the bottom at once. He turned around, picked up a telescope to observe, and found that countless Wu troops had emerged from all directions, and they had formed an encirclement of the Qing army. What surprised Bahai even more was that there were a large number of cavalry among the Wu army that surrounded the Qing army!
On the Wu army's position, Xia Guoxiang laughed: "Brothers, it's time to let Qinggou taste the taste of our swarm of bee cars!" Ready to launch! ”
Gao Dejie, the chief cavalry commander of the Wu army on both wings, asked his own soldiers to pass the order: "Just wait for the rocket to break the Qinggou formation, and the brothers will follow me to charge!" Defeat the clear dog in one fell swoop! ”
These Wu troops have actually been ambushed nearby for a long time, and this so-called baggage grain convoy is actually a bait thrown by Wu Sangui for Bahai to bite the hook. After Bahai was deceived, the Wu army, which had already been ambushed nearby, came out from all directions, cutting off the retreat of the Qing army.
A swarm of bee cars that had been ambushed in a small forest in advance was pushed out by the Wu army, and the Wu soldiers lifted the canvas, revealing rockets and aimed at the Qing formation.
Sergeant Wu lit the torch, and the soldier with the torch walked behind a swarm of bee vans and aimed it at the fuse.
"Whoosh" Countless fire dragons roared out, pulled out a low and straight trajectory, and swooped towards the dense Qing army formation. The overwhelming rocket fell to the ground and immediately exploded into a sea of fire, and the iron balls filled in the rocket flew horizontally, and a large number of Qing soldiers were immediately beaten into a hornet's nest. The Qing soldiers who were close to the center of the explosion were directly blown to the ground.
The first row of rockets had just landed, and the second row of rockets came roaring again, landing accurately in the crowd of Qing troops.
The rocket positions of the Wu army were all pre-pre-planned, and the position of the attack was also calculated in advance, and the reason why the bait of the baggage and grain transport team was to introduce the Qing army into the ambush circle to be bombed!
That's not all, the ruthless Wang Shirong planted the mines at the predetermined location in advance. Rows and rows of rockets fell to the ground, and one after another exploded, finally detonating the mines that had been pre-planted underground. These mines are not press-fired mines, but mines that are ignited by external forces. A swarm of rockets exploded on the ground, blasting the mines planted in the ground to the ground, and then the mines exploded under the impact and fire.
The crowd of Qing troops turned into a continuous sea of fire, and I don't know how many rockets and mines were exploding. The successive loud noises made the Qing army's formation collapse. Whether it is infantry, cavalry or artillery, they are already in chaos, especially the horses that have just been neatly lined up, which were blown up by rockets, and the horses were shocked.
"Kill the Tartars!" Gao Dejie drew his saber and pointed at the Qing formation.
"Kill the Tartars!" The 20,000 cavalry of the Wu army waved their whips, the horses began to speed up, and more than 80,000 horses' hooves stepped on the ground, making a drum-like roar, and the horses were like an irresistible torrent of steel, surging towards the Qing army formation.
The cavalry of the Wu army held a three-eyed gun, galloped on horseback, and rushed to the time when there were still more than ten steps away from the Qing army's formation, the Wu cavalry held a three-eyed gun in one hand, picked up the fire rope in the other, and stabbed into the fire door of the three-eyed gun. Each cavalryman stabbed three times in succession, and the three-eyed guns roared, and the Qing pikemen who had formed a makeshift formation fell like a fence that had been torn down by a strong wind.
The Wu cavalry threw away the fire rope, picked up the three-eyed gun, and rushed into the crowd of Qing troops. The war horse in front of it collided with the Qing soldiers, and knocked a large number of Qing soldiers out at once. Immediately afterwards, with the help of the impact of the war horse, the three-eyed gun smashed on the head of the Qing soldier. The heavy three-eyed gun smashed on it, and the lightning rod helmets of a row of Eight Banners soldiers immediately dented, the heads inside the helmets shattered, and the brains burst out.
The cavalry of the Wu army in the back rushed up after him, and a row of short wooden spears crashed into the Qing soldiers, knocking the Qing soldiers upside down and flying out. The cavalry of the Wu army threw away the wooden spear, drew the saber, and with the help of the horsepower, a row of sword lights flashed, and the heads of the Qing soldiers fell to the ground one after another.
"Cunning Wu dog! Where did they come from so many people? Didn't Wu Gou's main force go to the capital? Bahai looked at the already chaotic formation, puzzled in his heart.
