Chapter 52: Facing the Enemy and Fighting
The drums beat and the earth trembled gently, as if afraid of this battle of tens of thousands of people.
The gentle trembling of countless leather boots on the ground kicked up some smoke and dust, and on the land on the other side of the Hunhe River in the east city of Shenyang, the battle of early autumn began in the preparation of the two sides to charge.
Bai Yintu strode around and stomped on the ground, the rhythm was slow and regular, and thousands of people strode forward as if they were one.
The Qing army in the middle did not ride horses, but Baiyintu, who dismounted and fought on foot, was even more proud. This is his confidence in his combat effectiveness.
"On the horse, we are brave knights. Get off the horse, we are invincible, the invincible Eight Banners attacking the city! Bai Yintu laughed, his majestic body was heavy, and the rhythmic footsteps made the Qing soldiers seem to be integrated into one.
To the east, Liu Sheng slowly lowered his armor and looked around at the soldiers of the Tiger Camp behind him.
This time, the Ming army did not pick up the fire gun again, as Hauge said, they only picked up spears, swords and shields.
The other three sides of the first row, including the phalanx, were lined with spears, and the musketeers in the corners had been replaced by sword and shield bearers.
Looking down from the sky, thousands of lives are about to be decided. Countless heads gathered, and the armor was facing each other, and the anger was soaring.
The soldiers on both sides of the battlefield had their mouths long and gasped for breath, and they stared at their eyes tightly.
Some of them were confused and didn't know how to act, so they subconsciously followed the crowd in front of them.
Some eagerly looked at the heads on the other side, thinking about cutting them off to make their own merits.
There are also people who are so calm that they can't make a wave in their hearts that they breathe relaxedly, check the armor on their bodies, pay attention to the orders of the superiors, and wait for the upcoming life-and-death fight.
Qi Shan is such a calm person, as a small flag. Like most officers of the Ming army, Qi Shan did not command from behind. He stood on the far right of the first row, paying attention to the distance between the two sides silently approaching, looking for gaps in the enemy's troops, and watching the movement of the general flag further ahead.
"It's only about fifty steps!" Qi Shan silently read in his heart, and calmly gave the order: "Hold a gun." Meet the enemy! ”
Whoa......
Spears that were a foot long were held high, and the heads of the guns made of stainless steel shimmered silver in the sunlight.
The breath became silent at this moment, and there was heavy gasping everywhere. The Tiger Battalion had stopped advancing, and the various divisions began to carry out the final formation. Qi Shan glanced back and saw Hu Ji, a newly recruited soldier this year.
Hu Ji's face was a little pale, his eyes widened, staring at the Manchu soldiers who were rushing quickly in front of him, and his mouth trembled a little.
Qi Shan frowned and looked down. It was found that Hu Ji's legs were trembling slightly, and a commotion came.
Seeing Qi Shan's face, Hu Ji's originally pale face suddenly turned red, and the whole person was like a lobster that had just been baked.
"Brother Qi...... I ......"
"Shout me little flag! Hu Ji, are you afraid of death? It's a gentleman, there is one to say! Qi Shan's words were slightly more turbulent, but the spear in his hand did not move at all. He no longer looked at Qi Shan's legs, his eyes were just staring at a hateful-looking Qing soldier in front of him. Then he suddenly changed the spear in his hand to the armpit of his left hand and clamped it.
"I'm not afraid of death...... I was just...... I...... I'm scared...," Hu Ji muttered.
Qi Shan's right hand stretched out, and suddenly pulled out a short spear from the step. actually smiled: "Do you see that Jiannu with a mouth full of yellow buckteeth?" He wants to kill you! That's right, as long as you ......"
Qi Shan ran with a short run, and the spear in his hand was thrown violently. Thirty paces away, a ghost cry sounded and stopped abruptly.
"Kill anyone who wants to kill you, and you won't die!"
"Charge!"
"Charge!"
"Charge!"
……
Almost at the same time, Liu Sheng and Bai Yintu both gave the order to charge.
The soldiers on both sides slammed into each other at this moment. Seen from the sky, humans are like wild beasts that have let go of all their limitations. Law, morality, justice, and any virtue of conscience are hidden in this moment, and the most primitive violence is vividly displayed.
Flying blood, broken spears, and countless grins. A soldier who struggled out of hell with a hideous face.
They shouted and shouted, charging at each other, and the massive impact struck the shields with a dull, dense sound. After the clanging sound of swords, there is a permeating fluttering sound that makes people feel oozing from the inside. It was the sound of a spear piercing into flesh.
More than 2,000 Ming troops formed a phalanx and went up, and the condensed phalanx devoured flesh and blood like a tough hedgehog, devouring the Manchurian soldiers who rushed to kill one by one.
When this kind of battle was going on for more than a hundred breaths, a sound that pierced the sky sounded.
A dark cloud rose behind the Manchurian soldiers, and Qi Shan's heart sank: "It's the surprise attack of the Jiannu archers!" ”
Instead of choosing to launch the diffuse at the outset, they suddenly unfolded when the killing was on the rise.
"Raise the shield in the back row!" As Qi Shan spoke, he saw a black shadow carrying a huge wooden shield as high as half of his body, covering it in the air.
The dull sound of dong dong sounded, and Qi Shan's heart tightened before he had time to breathe a sigh of relief. In the rear, a scream rang out.
After a while, Liu Sheng's order came: "Where are the grenadiers?" ”
"Prepare to drop bombs! Repel this wave of charging Jiannu! ”
A question suddenly popped up in Qi Shan's heart: "Why did the grenadier squad get on so quickly?" ”
His doubts soon ceased to exist.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
……
"The Jiannu just now left his hand, this time it is a desperate fight, brothers, pay attention! Queue, array! Qi Shan roared angrily.
He found that after a round of arrow rain just now, the small flag next door who was fighting side by side with him fell, and they were both arrows in the neck! And at this moment, the fallen soldiers of the phalanx at the front had not been replaced, and the Jiannu side broke out with a more powerful charge.
These Manchu soldiers, who were clad in armor and tenacious in battle, and skillful in battle, stared at them with as much precision and undiscouragement as flies that sniffed carrion.
They cut through the tiny lines with their pointed heads, and then pressed as they rushed through one team after another.
Qi Shan's eyes. Countless Jiannu pounced on them as if they were dying. They used the small flag on the right side of Qishan as a breakthrough with the gap they felt.
Seeing the Manchurian soldiers rushing to kill one by one, Qi Shan's calm disappeared, and he only felt as if he had entered another world. The sounds and images of the world slowly disappeared, and only the Manchurian soldiers who rushed in front of them were three times their size.
They fought side by side, skillfully parrying the slaughter of their own soldiers again and again. He stabbed desperately, staring at a Manchurian soldier in front of him with three scars on his face that seemed to split half of his face. But the tartar was like a loach. Dodging his own spurs again and again, he suddenly pulled out a long knife and slashed at the moment when Qishan's new force had just gone, and the old force had not arrived, cutting off Qishan's spear, and then slammed in with a stick on the spot.
Behind him, several people followed, rushing quickly.
Qi Shan's mind suddenly exploded, his heart sank suddenly, and he saw that dozens of people were no longer hindered. Pounced down the gap.
"Fight!" Qi Shan roared angrily, pulled out a scimitar from his leather boots, stared at the face that seemed to be split, and bared his teeth: "Come on, damn Tartar, **** Tartar, you have the ability to kill me!" ”
"Kill!"
"Ahhhh
A beast's roar rang out, and the face that looked as if it had been split by an axe widened its eyes. Slowly lowered his head, and saw a spear head that had pierced through.
Shout......
The tip is retracted. Qi Shan listened to the rapid panting breath around him, and saw a nervous red face staring at him, his eyes shining.
Hu Ji ...... Attaboy! ”
"Xiaoqi, I got fifty acres of land with my household registration! You can also move up one level! Hu Ji's eyes were shining and he grinned.
Rumble......
Rumble......
Rumble......
One by one, the grenadiers with long hands and legs threw out the earth-shaking thunder in their hands, and landed in the crowd of Manchu Qing rushing to kill.
Explosions were heard. Heads fell to the ground in an instant, and blood exploded, revealing patches of emptied field.
The crisis ahead was suddenly resolved, and Liu Sheng's expression was solemn: "Let the reserve team prepare." ”
……
Dozens of earth-shattering thunderbolts were thrown, and the news of dozens of dead and wounded came.
Bai Yintu listened. Instead, he smiled: "Did you throw out the treasure at the bottom of the box so early?" Don't think I don't know, you can kill thousands of miles away, how many firearms you can have. Even the firecrackers are gone, how many earth-shattering thunders can be exploded! There were hundreds of grenadiers, but only a few dozen rang out. What does this mean? ”
"It means that I have only been on the two Jialamin Army, and the army is in decline! And I, there are four more! Four! Bai Yintu laughed and said, "Up! Give it to me! Two more Jiala! ”
More than 3,000 Manchu Qing foot soldiers pressed up.
Liu Sheng frowned.
At this time, a flag was unfurled behind him, and Hu Dawei's herald soldiers broke through the encirclement and rushed over: "Captain Liu!" Lang will order you to shrink to the southwest corner and join up with the fierce Captain of the Tiger! ”
"The reserve team rushes one round and knocks down the Tartars who are entangled in front of you!" Liu Sheng ordered.
A shout of killing sounded, and the Tiger Ben camp rushed to kill in a round.
Behind, a steady stream of footsteps rang out.
Li Dingguo stepped on the ground and walked to the battlefield with the soldiers behind him. The generals of the 7th Battalion, who had not yet engaged in the battle, were silent, and slowly stepped forward in accordance with the orders of the fierce tiger.
At this moment, more than 6,000 Manchurian soldiers were flooded over like sea water. And at this moment, counting the reinforcements as fierce as a tiger, the Ming soldiers in front of them were only more than 4,000 people.
And!
They don't have firearms anymore!
Li Dingguo already knew this fact, a heavy rain attack, not only the baggage was left behind, only the grain and grass remained, but even most of the firecrackers could no longer be used because of the heavy rain.
Now, the 7th Battalion, which is the best at melee combat, has rushed to the battlefield!
Fierce as a tiger, he was as brave as ever, and he led the soldiers of the seventh battalion into the encircled battle formation with a wide open and closed face, and saw Liu Sheng with a tense face.
"But it's time for you!" Liu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief: "These damn people in all directions are Jiannu Tartars, where are so many lifeless Tartars in this world." After a round of culling, it came out again, forcing the reserves to move, and the grenadiers only had the last half of the thunderstorm left! ”
Fierce as a tiger heard this, and said in a deep voice: "Now that the matter is over, let's fight!" ”
"Good!" Liu Sheng did not hesitate.
With the support of a fierce tiger, the battle formation was no longer just a single phalanx, and the two battalions converged, and the troops in the middle contact part were immediately liberated.
In the Qing army's formation, Haoge laughed heartily: "The middle road is going well!" ”
At this moment, in the left road, the Qing army that bypassed the road encountered Qi Xian's troops in a place famous as Huaiyangpo, and the two sides fought. And the Qing army with the yellow flag on the left is still against the old opponent of the cavalry battalion of the Ming Royal Guards Legion.
The left side made little progress under Qi Xian's tenacious defense, while the right side was extremely bloody. The two sides rushed and killed round after round, making the pride of the Qing army enough to rush to kill a hundred formations at this moment became worthless.
They had already killed an unknown thirty or forty corpses that had fallen to the ground in a pile, and had even changed the battlefield six times.
And now, the cavalry battalion of the Ming army almost penetrated into the vicinity of Hauge in the last round of charges, attracting Hauge to have to send more than 1,000 troops.
The Ming cavalry, which was only less than 3,000, actually attracted 4,000 Qing cavalry to entangle.
The mixed report went unnoticed by Hauge, and his attention was now on another round of charges launched by Baiyintu in the middle lane.
"The last two Jiala, charge with me, press all the way up!" Baiyintu is proud.
This is the full force of the Yellow Flag!
This strong army of the Three Banners was once the proud headquarters of Nurhachi and Huang Taiji, who followed countless Qing emperors to participate in rounds of wars that defeated the Ming army to the point of demoralization and the decline of national fortunes. Countless Ming people pinned their expectations on the famous ministers and generals, and they were all frightened when they saw the three banners.
And now, with unprecedented all-out force, they went to the battlefield and charged the Ming army, which had turned to the defensive.
"The defeat of the Ming army is at this moment!" Baiyintu shouted.
More than 3,000 soldiers with yellow flags turned over their horses and rushed out of the Dongcheng Gate of Shenyang City, they rushed out of the drawbridge, crossed the Hunhe River, stepped on the ground on the edge of the battlefield and slowly accelerated, and then quickly rushed into the battlefield, plunged into it, and tried to cut through the already crumbling Ming army battle formation with a thousand strengths.
The screams and killings became noisier at this moment.
A burst of results that made the Qing army cheer appeared.
"The phalanx of the Ming army has retreated! Defeat them, cut through the battle formations, and kill all these Nikans! ”
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
……
"Yellow Flag...... Haoge's yellow flags are all in Shenyang! Hu Dawei's heart sank suddenly: "Retreat...... The two battalions worked together and retreated. There is a difference of two or three times the number of troops! ”
And it's two or three times as elite enemy troops.
Seeing the scene of the Tiger Battalion and the Seventh Infantry Battalion being repelled a few steps, Hu Dawei's heart was like falling into an ice cave.
In the distance, Zhu Cihong's eyes were implied with expectation. (To be continued.) )
