Chapter 453: Duoduo's Decisive Charge
Houjin's infantry array of more than 3,000 people was bombarded by the Chinese infantry artillery before the engagement, losing at least 600 people. Moreover, after getting closer, the losses of the soldiers of the Houjin Army were even greater.
In particular, more than 100 soldiers of the three special platoons dispatched by the Huaxia Army before the two armies engaged in the formation were armed with pump-action rifles and fired eight consecutive salvos at the fastest speed.
The Houjin array could not withstand the losses that continued to approach under the continuous firing of that intensity, and had to send the routed skirmishers again to fight at a distance with backward bows and arrows.
In the duel with the soldiers of the Huaxia Special Service Platoon, the stragglers did not get any bargains, and they continued to lose.
This forced the Houjin Army to continue to send stragglers, and continued to use the lives of stragglers to compress the combat distance of the soldiers of the Huaxia Special Service Platoon.
In this kind of confrontation, the Houjin army once again suffered great losses. Let Houjin's good shooters be sent out and consumed in vain.
Coupled with the soldiers of the Houjin Army who were constantly consumed on the way by the musket salvo of the Huaxia Army's infantry array, this battle, before the engagement, the Houjin Army suffered extremely huge losses.
Even before the engagement, the soldiers of the Houjin Army, who posed the greatest threat to the Huaxia Army and were armed with spears of more than 4 meters, were almost wiped out.
After losing almost all the spearmen, in the bayonet exchange in the middle of the two armies, the Houjin army also did not gain any advantage, but was also quickly defeated by the Huaxia army in a positional battle in a head-to-head duel.
Duoduo only looked at the uneven formation of his own team, as if it had been gnawed by a dog, and knew that the elite infantry armor facing each other at the front of the two armies in the middle had lost most of it.
That is, because most of the elite were wiped out, the ordinary infantry armor and Yu Ding, and even the coats in the back, completely lost their fighting spirit when facing the still dense Huaxia army array on the opposite side.
Duoduo was a little stunned, although before the two armies engaged, that is, when the spy platoon came with a rapid fire, he had feelings of fear and the like welling up in his heart.
However, it was just a subconscious bad mood in the face of a powerful and unfamiliar weapon that had never been seen before.
In fact, he, as well as so many Baylors and ministers in the Jin Kingdom, never thought that their soldiers and horses of the Eight Banners would be defeated when they had an absolute advantage in numbers.
Moreover, it was so fast that even the white-armored soldiers and Bayala in the back, as well as the vests covering the flanks, did not have time to enter the battle.
The man beside Duoduo who had previously led the cavalry to attack and was defeated by the cavalry battalion of the First Mixed Brigade of Huaxia was also a little trembling at this moment, and made another suggestion.
"Master, this, this will be the case, let's stop wasting any more time, let the minions escort you to the west! Although our cavalry was defeated twice and lost more than 100 people, they were not injured at all, and their vitality was still there, so they were not afraid that they would not be able to escape. ”
"Run?"
Although Meler was still optimistic, Dodor was already desperate, his dry lips opening open, and finally a hoarse voice came out.
"How do you run? The place in the west, it is all hills and mountains, if the cavalry of the Huaxia Army blocks the exit, when the time comes, these Huaxia infantry will be chased all over the mountains and killed, how many people can run away? ”
Mailer Ezhen continued to persuade him, "Master, let's run, we still have some dingkou in other places, and we still have a chance to make a comeback." The Han people have a saying that is good, stay in the green mountains and are not afraid of no firewood. Master, you must think twice! You've got ······."
Duoduo interrupted him with a wave of his hand and said, "Don't talk this nonsense anymore, every one of our cattle records was left by my father Khan to live for me.
In addition to the dozen or so Niu Lu drawn from the Two Yellow Flags around Dolgon, the dozen or so Niu Lu under my command are all my elite gold, if I really leave these horses here, then I will have no shame to live anymore. ”
In fact, there was still a word that Duoduo had not spoken, and the reason for that unspoken was the main reason why he was reluctant to escape.
You must know that after Huang Taiji's death was confirmed, there was more than half a year of political and military competition between the four major Baylors, and for the supreme throne of the Khan, several of them almost completely tore their faces.
At that critical moment, he did not stand up for his own brother Dorgon, and he had left an extremely bad image in the heart of his gloomy brother.
If he had 15 Niu Lu's elite soldiers and horses in hand, then he didn't care about any Dolgon, what kind of daishan or anything like that, and he didn't need to look at anyone's face.
However, once he lost his most elite strength to the outside, and Dolgon and the other two great Baylors had no loss of combat power, then his life as a priest would not be easy.
No, I can't say it's sad, it should be said that being confined for a lifetime may be the best destination for the rest of his life.
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for Duoduo to leave so many cronies and soldiers alone and escape alone.
For Duoduo, who pretended to be a grandson under Huang Taiji for 6 years before regaining a little power, if that was the case, it would be even more uncomfortable than killing him himself.
Although Mailer didn't know the real reason, when he heard Duoduo say categorically that he would not escape, he, as the person promoted by Duoduo, no longer said much, but knelt down, kowtowed and said, "Slave, swear allegiance to the master, where the master goes, the slave, follow him." ”
Duoduo nodded slightly, indicating that he understood that Meler was truly loyal, and said no more.
At this time, suddenly, in the flank, a Houjin cavalry, which was responsible for covering the infantry array, rushed out.
They slashed out of the spur and stopped the Huaxia cavalry who were pursuing the Houjin infantry and scattered their troops, and the two sides quickly got mixed up, and in the melee, they slowly drove to the side.
Duoduo looked at the situation below, and knew that he had to calm down and think of a practical solution to the current problem, otherwise, he Duoduo would no longer need to think about any grand ambitions, just wait here quietly for death.
Dodor's mind was spinning rapidly, and his mouth was constantly muttering about everything he could use now.
"Bayala, my Bayala camp is not in chaos, it is my most elite strength, they are still there, it is not a loss.
Well, Goshha, yes, I still have Goshha.
The trumpeter, and the trumpeter, don't need to play the flag, blow the trumpet or the like, all assembled, and the number of people is not small. ”
Talking and chattering in his mouth, Duoduo felt that at this moment, although he could not play many cards, it was not less.
At least, he still has the last strength to fight, anyway, he will definitely not stay here and wait for death slowly, nor will he leave so many soldiers and horses to survive alone.
At this moment, Duoduo decided to fight for it.
"All the men and horses that can move, no matter what he does or what his identity is, all gather and follow Ben Beile to charge the infantry array of the Huaxia Army.
Well, if I die in battle, then you will pass the command down level by level, and you can go out a few, count a few. Do you understand everything? ”
