Chapter 463: Riding and Fighting
The charging Qing cavalry turned over on their backs again, and the rockets of the Ming army were too dense, and no matter how they wielded their weapons and raised their shields to cover them, they couldn't get over. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Although most of the rockets are not accurate, if they don't hit directly, it will be like the damage caused by the diffuse shooting of a bow, but a large number of people and horses are still hit by arrows, and they are in a mess.
The smoke of gunpowder was billowing and filling, the fireworks were like thousands of flowers blooming, and thousands of arrows were flying in the sky. Coupled with the firing of nearly 100 Hongyi cannons and nearly 100 mortar cannons, this firepower was unprecedented, and it was blinded all at once.
That is, the cavalry inertia and rapid charge, if the infantry rushed into battle, they would have collapsed long ago.
In particular, the launch of some poisonous smoke bombs and gray bombs made many of them scream and jump wildly.
Seeing that the cavalry was chaotic, it had already changed from a dense charging formation to a scattered army, and Wang Dou arbitrarily ordered the cavalry to attack.
"Wan Sheng!"
The war horses neighed, and the five thousand cavalry in the vanguard of the cavalry rolled out of the horse.
At the front of them were 2,000 cavalrymen of the Jingbian Army, most of whom used lances and lances, as long as a few used swords, and they were the kind of thick-backed swords. The back of the knife is thick, and the whole knife is quite weighty, which is the inevitable result of this era.
That kind of cumbersome saber will also appear in the later generations, when one party is not wearing armor. Using a light knife, even if you borrow a saber and slash the enemy's body with a blade, it is still tickling whether it is against cotton armor or heavy armor.
The cavalry of the 2,000 Jingbian Army was lined up in a very tight array, almost relying on people, horses on horses, knee to knees.
Such a dense formation. It is also the result of the usual hard training of the cavalry of the Jingbian Army.
their tactics. It is a formation of fast horses rushing into formation, and when charging, they do not fire handguns, but only constantly impact back and forth. Smash enemy builds.
Unless you fall into a scuffle, use the handcuff and shoot face to face. The hit rate must be extremely high.
Looking at the cavalry of the Jingbian Army in front, Wu Sangui had to admire again, such a tight cavalry formation was far beyond his reach.
He led a thousand men to follow, and they were quite intricately armed, including bows, knives, hooks, sickles, palladium, and sticks. The space for demand to swing is large, and the formation cannot be too dense, and Wu Sangui does not have this concept.
These are the housekeepers. It is all the result of the Wu family's painstaking operation. They all have outstanding skills and are loyal to the Wu family.
Go it alone. Wu Sangui believed that his subordinates could compete with the Jingbian Army, but if he hedged against them, Wu Sangui would not dare. Even if he added the two thousand Ning Yuan cavalry in front of him, he didn't dare, their kind of strict and powerful posture was awe-inspiring at a glance.
And the cavalry of the Ming army rarely dared to hedge with the Qing cavalry, and many of them needed the protection of the car battalion, which was because of the people outside, and there were also horses. In terms of dense formations, in fact, the cavalry of the Qing State was far stricter than the cavalry of the Ming army, after all, they were more highly organized and their horses were better.
But now that their formation has been disrupted by artillery rockets, it's time to bully!
"Wan Sheng!"
The style of the cavalry of the Jingbian Army is to put the horses fast at the end, and they are galloping wildly, like rolling iron.
They carry the momentum of crushing everything, but they still maintain a tight array.
On the opposite side, a tide of clear horses poured in, and both sides sped up their speed, without the slightest intention of giving in.
Rumble!
Like two waves of turbulent torrents, unilaterally colliding together!
It can be clearly seen that the cavalry of the Jingbian Army, which is red in all men and horses, rushed into the chaotic and lax Qing cavalry array on the opposite side, like a soldering iron easily cutting through cheese, knocking them all the way to the back of the horse, directly breaking a bloody road.
"Good!"
Wang Dou couldn't help nodding secretly, his cavalry had finally been trained.
"This, it's really unexpected."
Zhang Ruoqi, the prison guard, had a clear gaffe, he thought that Wang Dou was only fierce with guns, but he didn't expect his cavalry to be so sharp!
Rufeng Mountain and Loess Ridge, Huang Taiji and Dolgon on the mountain shrank their eyes, and the cavalry of the Jingbian Army.
"No, I can't!"
Haoge exclaimed: "My iron cavalry of the Qing Dynasty is not the opponent of Wang Dou's cavalry? This can't! …… Yes, it must be because of the artillery. ”…,
Zilharang and Ying Erdai looked very solemn: "The cavalry of the Jingbian Army...... It's not going to be a good fight at the moment. ”
Wang Dou raised the clairvoyant mirror, the people and horses rushed to each other, rolling and riding back waves, there seemed to be a white flag of the weaving gold dragon dragon, the surrounding of the dragon is their elite bayala. Looking at the confrontation with each other again, some Qing cavalry will penetrate the past.
He shouted: "Hongyi cannon, bombard them in front of them, and then smash their formation." Hongyi small cannon, bombard their forwards, don't let them run into front of the Shenji Battalion. Rocket of the Divine Machine Battalion, ready to launch again! ”
Although the clairlife mirror didn't see it very clearly, Wang Dou estimated that the owner of the golden dragon with the white flag was either Dolgon or Azig. Look at the dragon Xu, it is not the sign of the banner owner, it should be Azig undoubtedly.
If you can kill one of them with artillery, of course, it is best, but if you can't do it as you want, you can use artillery to disperse their follow-up cavalry, leaving a hovering ground for the army.
And the attack of Hongyi's small cannon and rockets is to prevent the forward Qingqi from having a hovering ground. Or prevent them from taking the opportunity to attack the rocket position of the Shenji Battalion, after all, it is not yet the time for the rear cavalry to dispatch.
……
The smoke of gunpowder was mixed with the smell of blood, and in front of the chariot of the second class, 1,200 people, and the three-story firecrackers were intermittently bombarding the Qing cavalry in front of the chariot.
Not far behind them, hundreds of bombardiers from the baggage battalion were desperately throwing 10,000 enemies forward. There are also some marksmen, who find an opportunity to pull the trigger against their officers or tough sergeants.
Under the continuous attack of the platoon, the Qing cavalry that arrived here in a surging manner suffered heavy casualties, and it was difficult to take a step beyond the chariot.
They were densely populated and couldn't let go of their horsepower, and they mostly rode around the chariot and rode their horses to shoot, and for the second class army behind the chariot, the bullets fired by their own side were regarded as side shots, and the hit rate was extremely high.
Even if some Qing cavalry dismounted and fought on foot, the arrows they shot and some of the weapons they threw could not compare to the dense firepower behind the chariot.
Unilateral casualty ratio. Not at all on one level.
This kind of result. It also calmed down the originally nervous state of mind of those second-class soldiers who participated in the war, presumably after the war. Most of them can be strong sergeants.
Not far behind the firecrackers, there were 1,200 second-class spearmen, who were divided into multiple waves and layers. All of them are hats and helmets, dark red long body armor, arms and hands, round necks, black velvet edging or white velvet edging, and there are no red velvet and pompoms on their shoulders.
Not far in front of these spearmen, it is the Chinese army part of Han Chao and Zhong Xiancai, here. There are also two general soldiers of the First Class and four general soldiers of the Second Class.
On the hills of the status of the Chinese army, Han Chao and Zhong Xiancai. They all held clairvoyant mirrors and looked at their own car array. Beside them, there are all the officers of the battalion headquarters. There are still thousands of orders to be ordered.
From the Jingbianbao era to the present, Han Chao has become more and more calm, and behind him, standing is Huang Shibian, the commander of the battalion headquarters, and Li Jinpei, the pacification officer. Huang Shibian's signboard is expressionless, Li Jinpei is sad and kind, when the two were in Shunxiang Fort, they blocked with Han Chao, and they are still today, which can be regarded as old blocks.
Putting down the clairvoyant mirror, Han Chao said to Zhong Xiancai beside him: "The thief slave is in decline, if you order the spearmen to fight, the wave of thieves will definitely be defeated!" ”
Zhong Xiancai said: "Brother Han, I think the same way. ”
At this moment, the standard-bearer came to report, and the generals of most of the Chinese army sent an order flag, ordering the spearmen to fight, Han Chao and Zhong Xiancai glanced at each other and nodded.
Han Chao shouted: "Beat the drums, blow the long trumpet, and the spearmen attack!" ”
Zhao Rongsheng, the first commander of the B General D Team at the rear of the right battalion, was secretly anxious, and shouted wildly in his heart: Why is it not the turn of the gunmen to fight, why is it not my turn to fight? Seeing that the soldiers in front of him were fighting prosperously, as long as he was envious in his heart, the genes of the battle were extremely extinguished in his body.
And beside him, the soldiers in the armor were very looking forward to it, looking at the healers in front of them, sometimes carrying down some brothers who were hit by heavy arrows, or seriously injured by Tartar javelins, iron bones, etc., and even the soldiers who were killed in battle, they felt inexplicably nervous. …,
Han Kaihui and Liu Lie clenched their fists from time to time, released them, and clenched them again. Wu Dingguo still had a gloomy face and no expression, and the little soldier Chen Pet exhaled and inhaled from time to time, and his chest was short and bumpy. Mu Dachang's sallow face couldn't be seen, but his eyes were the largest.
Zhao Rongsheng and Mu Dachang are on the left and right, with the first and the first commander and the first commander on the left and right of the queue, with the strongest sergeant and the two wings of the armor.
They are in the forefront of the team, and in front of the first team, they are the second, third, fourth, and fifth teams of the D team.
Team officer Sun Xuesheng, holding his armor-piercing long cone spear, stood on the upper left side of the queue, beside him, guarding Li Song, standing with a sword and shield.
Then the lower left flank of their D team is the spearman of Captain C of General B, and the lower right wing is the spearman of Captain You.
Because the gunmen and spearmen fought separately, there were only two teams of 100 spearmen, and 1,200 second-class spearmen were divided into two layers, with a total of 600 people on each floor.
The distribution of their military formations is a three-fold formation, like a zigzag, one team of spearmen is the vanguard, and then the two teams of spearmen are separated from the two wings, so that the forward assault, the two wings can be outflanked.
Their tactics are roughly like the Qi family's army fighting: "...... The first layer was in full swing, beating drums, slowing down, and beating drums, and the second layer rushed through the front layer to engage the battle, and the front layer was less than the whole team. The drums were slow and slow, and the drums were beating again, and the first layer rushed through the second layer before the battle, and the original second floor was a small team......"
Such a succession of layers and waves gives hand-to-hand combat soldiers a chance to breathe and recuperate, and also enables more new troops to enter the battle.
Due to the cold weapon combat in ancient times, the physical consumption was extremely high, and no matter how strong the sergeant was, he could only last a few minutes, or ten minutes. If the physical strength is not enough, it will be difficult to exert a martial art, which is no better than a gun, as long as you have the strength to pull the trigger.
Huang Wei, the chief officer, led the officers of the headquarters, and stood on the left side of Team B and Team C.
In the rear, Qianzong Tian Qiming stood directly below the two pinzi military formations and personally supervised the battle.
Looking at the battle ahead, Tian Qiming also thought secretly, depending on the situation, it's the turn of the spearmen, right?
As officers of the old army who participated in the Jingbian Army, in fact, Tian Qiming and others were even more enthusiastic about military exploits. When Tian Qiming was an officer of the team, he played a brilliant role in the Battle of Stone Bridge, and since then he has been out of control. He has also risen step by step, from the team officer to thousands of generals, and the same as the previous striker Tian Zhijue, and has reached the level of the old subordinate, the state city of Tian Changguo, and the gold content is higher.
At this time, the rear of the front was fighting, and it was commanded by the deputy commander and the commander-in-chief of General A, and Tian Qiming personally monitored the pikemen in the department, so he naturally wanted to show it again.
was looking forward to it, and suddenly heard the sound of drums from the infantry formation, Tian Qiming secretly shouted: "Okay! ”
With a long groan, he pulled out his weapon and shouted, "Spearmen prepare!" ”
"Spearmen ready!"
"Prepare for battle!"
His orders were passed down in waves.
Ahead, the tide of firebolts retreated, and the soldiers also pushed the chariot away, leaving the spearmen to attack.
All the pikemen clenched their spears.
Soon, in the position of the Chinese army, a sharp swan sounded.
Team Ding, from team officer Sun Xuesheng, to the first captain Zhao Rongsheng, Luo Liangzuo, to the soldier Han Kaihui, all clenched their weapons and shouted: "Kill!" ”
In the majestic roar, the big drum of the Chinese army and various departments was beating loudly.
Suddenly, the drum beat tightened, and even Tian Qiming and other thousand generals, Zhao Rongsheng and other sergeants ran at the end.
Dense armor-piercing long cone spears, dense bright red armor, dense eight-petal hats, iron-pointed helmets, and shining arms and hands, their military formation is tightly organized, like a wall.
