Chapter 1018: Fierce Fight
The 10,000-line infantry army of the Wei army defeated the Han Banner musket team of the Qing army with muskets, and the Wei sergeants immediately picked up the muskets, raised their guns, and chased them after after shooting the projectiles in the flintlock pistol.
Less than half an hour after the start of the battle, the Wei army's vanguard advanced with the whole army, driving the defeated army towards the main formation of the Qing army.
Hauge had expected this, he knew that the Wei army had a strong musket, and the Qing army had suffered a lot of losses on it, so he did not have much hope for the Han banner, and did not plan to use the musket to defeat the Wei army.
Firearms are the strengths of the Wei army, the weaknesses of the Qing army, and it is unwise to use one's own shortcomings to confront the strengths of the Wei army, and to defeat the Wei army can only be hand-to-hand.
At this time, under the banner of the Chinese army, Haoge waved his fist and shouted, "Yue Le counterattacked!" ”
At the sound of the horn, more than 20,000 dependents suddenly turned over the hill and launched a counter-charge against the Wei army.
The Qing musketeers, who were retreating, also suddenly stopped at this time, raised their muskets and turned to meet the pursuing Wei army.
Before the battle, Haoge had already explained to the Han Banner Army that if he could not win the battle, he would immediately retreat, lure the Wei army to pursue, and wait for the Wei army's front to be chaotic, and then turn back to fight.
In the clairvoyant mirror, Li Dingguo saw a large group of Qing troops, turned over the high slope, and suddenly rushed down, frowning slightly.
Even under the mountain pass, the hills are undulating, the terrain is not flat, and soldiers can be hidden everywhere, which brings more complexity to the war.
The Han Banner Army, which was fleeing to the main formation, saw the family members of the Qing army rushing down in front of them, and the leading officer immediately shouted, "Go back and kill!" ”
Most of the Han Banner troops immediately raised their muskets and turned around to meet them, but they were kicked down by the morale-boosting Wei soldiers and stabbed to death.
The Wei sergeant held a musket in both hands, and the barrel of the gun was covered with sharp spurs, and stabbed into the abdomen of the Qing army who turned around, and then kicked out, kicked the Qing soldier down, pulled out the bloody spur, and roared: "Kill the Tartar!" ”
The Han Banner Army could not stabilize its position at all, and was killed by the Wei army and retreated.
The muscles on Hauge's face twitched, and he clenched his fists, "Yue Le, hurry up!" ”
Yue Le led 20,000 Manchurian dependents, the northern ethnic groups are different from the farming peoples of the Central Plains, they are born warriors, adult men are almost all soldiers, and even women can shoot arrows and fight.
Although most of the dependents of Manchuria are old women and children, their combat strength should not be underestimated, and they are even more powerful than the previous Ming army.
At this time, the dependents who rushed down the high slope were surging like a flood, and they howled and ran, and finally collided with the Wei army with their spurs.
There was a loud noise, the two torrents collided, and the addition of family members made the Han Qi, which was killed and retreated, get support, and finally stopped retreating.
For a time, the pursuit of the Wei army was stagnant, and the Qing army collided together, the spear stabbed and stabbed, the war knife split, the flesh and blood splashed, and the sound of killing went straight to the sky, making the sun bright, and the color of the sky and the earth changed.
Li Ponu was assassinated with a gun, surrounded by the shouts of enemies and companions, the wails of wounded soldiers, and the battle was extremely fierce, while the Wei army's muskets and stabs were not dominant in hand-to-hand combat, and were gradually blocked by the Qing army.
Seeing this, Haoge was overjoyed, and sure enough, the Wei army's firearms were powerful, which could be compared to hand-to-hand combat, and the Qing soldiers did not scare him at all.
At that moment, Hauge immediately raised his arms and swung his fist, "Archers attack!" Kill this king! ”
In the main formation of the Qing army, more than 10,000 dependents left the main formation, and left the military formation with a loud shout in the sound of the horn.
Soon after the battle began, Hauge used forty percent of his troops, 10,000 elite banner soldiers, and 30,000 dependents.
A black shadow moved forward, and while the Qing army's dependents were stepping forward, their hands took out arrows from the quiver at their waists, pulled the bow and arrows apart, and the arrows pointed obliquely, and released the bowstring as they advanced.
"Whoosh ......" In the sound of strings, a black cloud rose up, and the arrows jumped over the heads of the warring Qing troops, covering the Wei soldiers.
In order to survive, the Manchurian soldiers and civilians erupted into bursts of rage, they fought in front of the short soldiers, and the archers shot the Wei army in the back, but the Wei army's musketeers gradually fell into a disadvantage, and there was a momentum to reverse the decline.
"Good!" Hauge was overjoyed when he saw this.
In the Wei army's array, Li Dingguo saw 10,000 Wei troops, and when facing the 40,000 Qing troops and their dependents, he gradually lost the upper hand, put down the clairvoyant mirror, and said calmly: "Left and right horse army, attack." ”
Wang Pingfan and Hu Guozhu each led 5,000 cavalry, Le Ma stood on both sides, always paying attention to the battlefield, they saw the two armies strangled into a group, the Qing army with a large number of people, divided into two groups, one and the Wei army short-handed, one was hiding behind the Wei army and kept hanging the Wei army, so that the Wei army suffered considerable losses.
At the beginning of the battle, it was extremely fierce, and when the two were a little anxious, they suddenly heard the military order and the horn sounded.
Wang Pingfan and Hu Guozhu roared at the same time, "The Ma army is attacking!" ”
The two of them each let out a roar that shook the battlefield, and the Wei army and Ma Jun, who had long been unable to hold back behind them, suddenly let out an angry roar when they heard the order.
Wang Pingfan clamped the horse's belly, the war horse neighed, and shot out like an arrow, and the five thousand cavalry behind him slapped their horses out of the battle, gradually advancing the speed.
On the other side, Hu Guozhu held his cavalry spear high, hit the buttocks of the war horse, and rushed out at a gallop, and the cavalry behind him flocked to him.
The two Wei army and horse armies gradually increased their speed, and they bypassed the front of the battlefield, like two big snakes, detouring to both sides, and directly rushed towards the Qing archers behind.
The archers of the Qing army did not have heavy armor, no long soldiers, and no tight formation, and once they were attacked by the Wei army, they would inevitably suffer heavy losses.
"Lord Su, the Wei army's horse army can let the cavalry go straight to Li Dingguo's main formation!" Sony gritted his teeth.
Haoge's cheeks twitched, "The Wei thief hollow array is powerful. The herald ordered the cavalry to meet the Wei thief horse army and maintain the advantage of the front army. ”
Hauge did not want to take any chances, but wanted to maintain the advantage achieved by the former army.
In the Qing army's array, the horn sounded, and after the Qing cavalry heard the order, they immediately raised their weapons and urged their horses to go out of the battle.
At this time, the Wei cavalry had already raised full speed, bypassing the front of the battlefield and appearing on the flank, the cavalry galloped on the undulating ground, staring at the Qing archers, and would launch a thunderous blow.
The Qing army archers who were shooting the Wei army, seeing the Wei cavalry rushing like a mountain and a sea suddenly appeared on the side, the Qing army archers immediately panicked, and the dependents did not care to hang and shoot the Wei army, so they hurriedly turned around and shot a wave of arrows at the Wei cavalry.
Although the speed of the cavalry is affected by the terrain, it is not that the arrows can stop it, Wang Pingfan and Hu Guozhu each roared, and the cavalry galloped through the rain of arrows, and suddenly crashed into the Qing army archers, and the Qing soldiers who immediately hit them flew upside down.
The cavalry of the two Wei armies, almost at the same time, rushed into the enemy formation, rushed quickly, the horses with the momentum of ten thousand jun, irresistibly continued to crash into the Qing soldiers in front of them, the knight's spear stabbed, the sword split, invincible.
Although the families of the Qing army were not afraid of death, they had not undergone strict training and were not tenacious enough, and the formation was instantly chaotic and was killed by the Wei army.
"Good!" Li Dingguo bowed his head with satisfaction, "The infantry army is going up again!" ”
Seeing that the Qing army's archers were killed, Li Dingguo once again sent 5,000 infantry troops to press on it and increase the strength of the front army, intending to defeat the Qing army's front army in one fell swoop.
Hauge's muscles twitched on his face, his fists clenched, and he thought in his heart, "Hurry up for this king!" ”
