Chapter 1388 The Wu army was defeated
The artillery fire of the Ming army in the west was more fierce than before, and the soldiers rushed towards the Jin army front with the momentum of a tsunami, starting a real duel on the west front.
Wang Yan naturally did not give Hauge time to rearrange, and the attack of the Ming army made Hauge make a hasty decision.
Unlike the Ming army, which focused on the southern front and concentrated superior forces as much as possible, Hauge chose a compromise plan, and both the north and south lines sent troops and horses to support.
This scheme still continues Hauge's previous style, reflecting his character, swaying from side to side, striving to be safe.
At this time, although the shouting and killing on the Western Front was fierce and the attack of the Ming army was surging, the key to determining the victory or defeat on the battlefield was the duel between the north and the south.
Tang Tong had doubts about Haoge's decision, and the two fronts of the north and south increased troops at the same time, which undoubtedly dispersed the forces, and many Jin army generals were not willing to gamble, he had no choice but to ride a war horse and lead the 20,000 Jin army to the north.
The men and horses reserved behind the third line were all transferred, and half of the men and horses used for support behind the second strong line were also transferred.
Li Benshen turned over his horse, and led 10,000 Jin troops to the south, rushing to support Wu Sangui, Tang Tong pulled the reins of the horse, led 20,000 people, and marched to the north.
The Jin sergeant soldier held his weapon in his hand, ran forward, his armor rattled, his head undulated, and he marched eagerly.
After a small half of the soldiers and horses on the front line were transferred, the in-depth defense of the Jin army's front line did not exist, and Hauge personally came to the front line to command the battle with the Ming army.
On the northern front, the earth-shattering shouts and rumbling explosions had resounded on the south bank of Weishui for a morning, and the Jin army's 10,000 cavalry rushed forward and rushed into the hollow array on the left flank of the Ming army, but suffered a defeat.
Jidu was the first to die in battle by the son of Zilharang, becoming the first general of the Jin army to die in this battle.
After the death of Zilharang, the Manchus were already weak, and now that the second son of Zilharang has been broken, the situation is even worse, and only the Sony family is left, barely resisting the banner.
After the cavalry was frustrated and more than 2,000 cavalry were lost, Meng Qiaofang's plan to quickly tear apart the Ming army's front was blocked, so he could only take back the horse army first, and use the superior strength of the infantry army to confront the Ming army and clear the obstacles one by one.
After about an hour of fierce fighting on the northern front, the town of Lingkou in the east was finally completely lost under the onslaught of the Jin army, and the remnants of the Ming army in the town were all wiped out.
Taifu Qin Liangyu's nephew battalion commander Qin Yiming died heroically, becoming the first member of the Ming army to die in this battle.
At noon, Xinfeng Town also fell into the hands of the Jin army, and Ruan Mei, the deputy governor of the Ming Zhenwu Left Army, was killed by the Jin army with several guns, which made the Ming army break another general, but the Jin general Zhao Liangdong was also severely injured by the defenders, seriously injured and unconscious, and was carried off the battlefield.
At this time, the three important strongholds on the south bank of the Wei River fell into the hands of the Jin army, and there was no obstacle for Meng Qiaofang to go south, but the Jin army suffered heavy losses in order to capture Lingkou Town and Xinfeng Town.
It can be seen that although Meng Qiaofang has taken three strongholds, the attack is a little weak, there are no new reinforcements, and if he wants to break through the Ming army's front, he is afraid that it will take a long time.
The southern line, fifteen miles north of Lishan.
Guo Tianchun, the main general of the Jin Army, shot and killed the Ming army and became the first veteran of the Wu army to die.
As soon as the main general died, the rout, which no one could control, was even more completely defeated, and the Jin soldiers rushed in fear of the platoon shooting, and fled one after another.
After two rows of guns, the Jin army front was full of struggling figures, the Jin soldiers in the back row turned around and ran, the third column of the Ming army stepped forward, the sound of "bang bang bang" sounded, and the Jin soldiers were shot in the back one after another, and they rushed forward to die.
The sound of fire behind him made the Jin soldiers cry and gall, and they ran wildly, and the Jin soldiers who were running behind were tripped by the corpses, and saw the ground lying full of corpses, blood and intestines flowed all over the ground, and the wounded soldiers wailed and rolled, and they were immediately frightened and fled south.
The wounded Jin Jun struggled painfully on the ground, reaching out to grab his comrades who ran by, but where could the Jin soldier still manage the wounded soldiers, he glanced at it, hesitated slightly, and fled with the brigade.
Behind the Jin soldiers, a passionate horn sounded, and the soldiers on the first front of the Ming army suddenly let out an angry roar, and they all charged forward with fire guns in their hands, chasing the backs of countless escapees.
"Kill!" On the first front, nearly 10,000 soldiers let out a roar and poured forward.
The soldiers crashed into the chaotic Jin army's line, and kept shooting the Jin army from behind, piercing the Jin army's back with sharp guns.
The Jin army on the entire front only cared about fleeing for their lives, and the fifteen thousand gold army guns completely collapsed and fled for their lives in a panic.
Li Guo saw the rout of the Jin army in the front of the Chinese army, and he put down the clairvoyant mirror with great joy, and did not hesitate, and immediately ordered, "Beat the drums, the front army will advance in formation, outflank the left and right flanks, and drive directly to the foot of Li Mountain." ”
The Ming army decisively seized the fighter plane, preparing to take advantage of the situation to defeat the infantry behind the Jin army, and drive the defeated army into the mountains and forests to the south, without giving the Jin army time to regroup.
The Ming soldiers of the second and third lines of the Ming army put their guns on their shoulders and followed the Ming soldiers who pursued the rout of the army in the first line, and marched forward with the rhythm of the drums.
Wu Sangui was riding on his horse, his face was a little stunned, and the fire line in front of him quickly collapsed, which he did not expect.
Wu Junzhong exclaimed, looking at the fifteen thousand firecrackers, who were completely defeated by the Ming army in a round of guns, like a lost dog, and many Jin army generals couldn't help but feel a chill.
If the rout retreats and the Ming army pursues fiercely behind, He Chengzhi's 15,000 infantry army is very likely to be disrupted, and once all the infantry troops fall into chaos, the Ming army will inevitably chase and kill to the Lintong line in one go.
Seeing that the two rear lines of the Ming army, the phalanxes on the left and right wings, all began to move forward, Wu Sangui couldn't calm down, and in a hurry, he waved his fist hard, and roared loudly, "The infantry army is on top, intercept this king!" ”
Almost as soon as Wu Sangui gave the order, He Chengzhi decisively asked the soldiers to let go of their guns and shoot the approaching rout, causing the rout to flee to both wings, so that the formation of the 15,000 foot soldiers behind was not disrupted.
At this time, the rout fled to the two wings, and had already dispersed the formation, and the first line of the Ming army pursuing in the form of stragglers also followed the rout, and then continued to pursue, without directly impacting the Jin army's infantry formation.
At this moment, the rout and the pursuing men and horses all bypassed He Chengzhi's front, but the golden general's face became even more gloomy.
As soon as the field of vision opened, the line infantry of the second front of the Ming army had already reached a hundred miles away from the golden array.
The Ming army was deployed in a horizontal formation, and the firepower could be fully utilized, while He Chengzhi was a phalanx, and he was mainly a close soldier, so he had no time to rearrange at all, so he could only rush forward, otherwise he would become the target of the platoon.
Wu Sangui also saw this, so he could only let this infantry army go up, trying to force the pace of the Ming army to stop and stop the Ming army.
He Chengzhi hurriedly drew his knife and roared, "Brothers, give the general to block the thief!" ”
The Jin soldiers who lined up in the phalanx, saw the platoon of the Ming army, they had arrived in front of them, and they were extremely frightened in their hearts, but standing was waiting for death, they only rushed up to melee before the Ming army released the guns, and disrupted the Ming army's guns, so that they had a chance to live, and the Jin army in fear suddenly roared, and they charged like a tide.
On the second front of "Bang Bang Bang", the Ming soldiers in the first row raised their guns one after another, and lined up in a line with 10,000 guns, roaring in unison.
A series of gunshots sounded, and the mouths of countless black holes spewed out long flames and white smoke, and the projectiles roared out, and the Jin Guobu army that rushed forward suddenly fell backwards again and again, and countless projectiles splashed towards the Jin army like raindrops, tearing their cotton armor and bringing up clouds of blood mist, making the Jin soldiers let out a heart-rending scream.
In an instant, the Jin army infantry that rushed forward seemed to have hit an invisible wall, and the screams resounded through the field, and the Jin soldiers were hit head-on······
