Chapter 795: Entering the White Knuckle Battle

A single round of shotguns swept away the archers and vests that had managed to get close to the attack, and Abatai's carefully organized offensive was dismantled. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info he naturally won't just stop, after a short shock, he immediately reacted, roared and ordered: "Don't be stupid, give me all the armor, if the bow and arrow can't work, use your knives and axes, even if you bite with your teeth, you have to kill this gang of Ming dogs for me!" ”

As the battle continued, the fighting will and the sharpness of the firearms displayed by this Ming army had deeply shocked Abatai. This opponent was different from any army he had ever seen, whether it was the Ming army or the Mongols, whether it was the Zhejiang soldiers who were known for their strict military discipline and good at firearms, or the Mongolian tribes with unparalleled cavalry and archery, in terms of comprehensive ability, they were not as good as this army. It is no longer a question of whether you can easily defeat your opponent, but whether your own troops can successfully break through the blockade and return to the Guannai. If you don't kill your opponent and be blocked in Shandong, the consequences will be unimaginable for a long time.

The Chinese army blew the conch, and the low and desolate voice echoed over the entire battlefield, and the infantry armor, which was wearing heavy armor and had been recuperating, stood up, raised the long knife, mace, short-handled axe and other weapons in his hand, and rushed forward like a group of ferocious beasts.

"Boom", "boom", "boom......

Another round of shotguns was fired, and the rain of bullets enveloped the charging armor, and countless projectiles hit the armor, making a "clanging" sound, like the sound of smashing on a tin can. No matter how thick the iron armor was, it couldn't resist this force, and the huge impact smashed the armor soldiers into thousands of holes, and even the weapons in their hands were broken into several pieces.

The soldiers also picked up their guns again and opened fire on the armor soldiers. Although the loud roar of the artillery beside them made them unable to hear anything else, and they did not know what new orders they had, it was the instinct of the warriors to shoot in the face of the approaching enemy, and they did not need to be commanded.

The web of lead and shrapnel made this short distance a dead end, and the armoured soldiers seemed to be struggling to move through a metal storm, paying a great price to advance a few steps, and every second someone fell under the dense projectiles. But they did not seem to fear death, and one fell, and two came up, and came up one after the other.

Abatai gritted his teeth as he watched the scene. If it weren't for the fact that the opponent suddenly pulled out a small cannon, covered by a bow and arrow with a foot archer and a vest, it would have been much easier for the infantry to attack. He observed the situation on the battlefield and quickly gave another order: "Send all the Baoyi Aha and Yu Ding in the array, spread out to the two wings, and surround this phalanx." "In such a stalemate, it is impossible to launch a cavalry charge, but it is still possible to outflank the flanks by relying on the superiority of numbers.

No matter how fast the rate of fire of the mountain cannon is, it is only a cannon, not a musket, and after firing three rounds of shotgun in a row, the armor soldiers have already approached the front, and they can almost even see the opponent's teeth. In the rumbling cannonball, Zuo Wuwei anxiously shouted to Huang Hansheng: "Regiment commander, let the artillery withdraw, their task has been completed, and it will be too late if they don't withdraw......

Huang Hansheng nodded and ordered: "Blow the trumpet, put on the bayonet!" ”

In the interval between the cannons, a rapid trumpet sounded, which spread throughout the entire position.

Even after the mountain artillery stopped firing, the soldiers in the front row still felt the rumbling cannon sound echoing in their ears, buzzing, and it took a while for their normal hearing to regain their normal ears, and the rapid and loud sound of the horn burrowed into their ears.

Hearing this order, the soldiers stopped firing, took out their bayonets and put on the head of their guns, and then stuck and fixed them, and the artillerymen also knew that they were going to fight with bayonets, and they hurriedly ran back. The bayonets of the forest were erected like a forest of steel.

The commander in front was the commander of the first battalion, who ran over with sweat profusely and said loudly: "Commander, there are too many Tartars, and more than half of the casualties of the first battalion are lost, even if two companies are transferred, they may not be able to stop it!" ”

Huang Hansheng stared at the armored soldiers who were surging like a tide, his brows furrowed into a Sichuan character, the first battalion commander was right, the Tartars such an offensive strength, the thin two horizontal columns may not be able to resist. He struggled for a few seconds, and then shouted a new order: "Pass my order, abandon the phalanx, the second and third battalions join the battle, and the fourth battalion is on standby, as a reserve!" ”

Before the order reached the troops on either side, the battle ahead had already begun.

The strong armored soldier stepped on the corpse of his own man, rushed up, and collided with the soldier who was waiting for the battle with a "boom", and the fierce white-knuckle battle began.

In the distance, Abatai roared and flailed his fist excitedly. After several twists and turns, paying a heavy price, they finally rushed into the enemy formation, and with the bravery of the Daikin warriors, it was only a matter of time before the battle ended. As long as this phalanx is defeated, the rest of the Ming army will definitely retreat without a fight, and no army can withstand more than thirty percent of the casualties, especially if the opponent is Dajin's warriors.

But Abatai was soon to be disappointed, as the scene of the hand-to-knuckle battle was not as one-sided as he expected.

The number of veterans of the first battalion of the first regiment is more than that of other brother units, and most of the officers above the platoon commander level are veteran veterans who have participated in the defense of Bofu, even if they are new recruits, they have at least participated in the battle of Qiuyushan, and they are the first of the whole army because of their rich combat experience, and they are worthy of this glorious name. In the face of a fierce opponent, the soldiers did not panic and, according to the usual drills, stood shoulder to shoulder, raised their bayonets and fought each other.

In terms of individual combat effectiveness, a Qiong naval soldier is by no means an opponent of the Houjin armor soldiers, but after the formation, ten soldiers can compete with ten armor soldiers, and a hundred soldiers can defeat a hundred armor soldiers.

Although the number of armor soldiers is large, but the follow-up troops have not kept up, the strength has not been fully deployed, there are only a few hundred people in the front, facing the opponent's strict formation and weapons comparable to spears, it is like a dog biting a hedgehog has no way to start, and the force of a body cannot be exerted. Although there were a few soldiers in the chaos, they were quickly forced back by the neat stabs.

One inch long, one inch strong, the length of the rifle body and bayonet is close to one meter nine, which is almost the same as a spear, plus the soldiers are close together, the armor soldiers wield short-handled axes, knives, maces, and attack left and right, but they can't find the weakness of the other side, but they are stabbed over a few people from time to time.

The reason why the armor soldiers were able to rush forward despite the dense rain of bullets and casualties was all due to a belief in their hearts: the bird-fired soldiers were okay in long-range combat, but they were vulnerable in hand-to-hand combat. As long as you rush into the formation, you can slaughter with impunity. Who would have thought that these people were still bird guns in their hands one second, with a short blade on it, and the next second they would become spears. Moreover, this kind of formation tactics must have been practiced on weekdays, and it is very difficult to deal with hand-to-hand combat.
