Chapter 450: Breaking the Camp

Jialazhang Jingyanzha, looking at the armor archer who fled back, roared, he was unwilling to fail, and wanted to organize a heavy cavalry attack, but was stopped by Niu Luzhang Jingniu Gulu. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Niu Gulu said that this time is different from the past, the morale of the Ming army is sharp, and there are sharp firearms, so they should hold on to the fortified village and use the trench to consume them. Do not act rashly again, lest you destroy in vain the mighty men of the Kalala.

Let's just say that in the short battle, the casualties of several warriors who attacked from the village gate in Jialazhong were as high as more than 200 people, which is really unbearable.

He cried and mourned, counting the casualties suffered by the Ming army's artillery, their armor, just the armor soldiers with white flags, the casualties had reached three or four hundred, and if they continued to fight, they would be wiped out.

Yan Zha was actually suddenly, and when he heard the words, he took the opportunity to step down, and only ordered the Qing troops in the defense line, whether it was the Han army, the Korean army, or the Manchurian soldiers. All of them must be on standby, and they must hold the defensive line and not allow the Ming army to invade.

The miscellaneous servants behind the defense line, when critical, also have to carry knives as a backup supplement for the army.

The attack was frustrated, and the Qing army in the defense line did not propose to move again, but only retreated behind the wall, paying close attention to the movements of the Ming army under the mountain.

Under the cover of the birds, the Qing army did not dare to attack, and the car battalion of the Ming army in the rear, as well as a large number of mountain-attacking equipment, braved the artillery of the Qing army in the main ridge and the middle ridge, and took the opportunity to pull up, densely packed, gathered at the foot of the mountain.

The Qing soldiers behind the walled wall looked like earth, so many artillery and equipment, their own defense line, can they really hold it?

First of all, the artillery of the Ming army car battalion, most of them are the middle and lower Franc machines that shoot two catties and less guns, the exterminating cannons, and the Baizi guns that shoot scattered bullets.

These chariots were arranged on the empty ground on both sides of each earthen cart, and in order to attack the mountain, Hong Chengchou dispatched a total of four chariot battalions. In Yang Guozhu's department alone, there were two car battalions and nearly 400 Franc machines and other guns.

Although some of the vehicles were lost along the way, most of them remained.

They lined up along the foot of the Qing army's wall, and meandered to the depths on both sides.

The artillery of the chariot door door is aimed at the wall on the ridge, especially at the gate of each wall, and a number of Franc machine guns and Baizi guns are arranged.

The gunners of those car battalions, when they were hauling the chariot artillery earlier, were bombarded by the artillery of the Qing army.

Because of the inclined plane, at this time, the Qing artillery of the main ridge and the middle ridge could not hit them, because they were close, but more than 100 steps, among the few Tartar artillery on the wall, the Hongyi small cannon could not hit them either, because they all hit the back.

Most of the Franc machines on the wall, the same is true, and the remaining dozen or so Franc machines are extremely small cannons, will they be their opponents?

If you hit the mountain down the mountain, the advantage is here, and if you just lower the muzzle, you can aim at the target, and if you hit the mountain down the mountain, no matter how you lower the muzzle, the shells will still fly far away.

The gunners of the Ming army's car battalion were full of pride and screaming, and they were sure to let the Tartar soldiers on the defensive line see how powerful they were.

The bird-gunned soldiers in the front camp had given way to these gunners and retreated to the earthen carts in the rear, and if the Qing army suddenly rushed out of the walled gate, they would definitely come forward to attack.

Behind the chariot, there were a large number of boat and bridge troops - trench carts, the Qing army's formation, although there were three trenches in front of the main wall, but most of the trenches did not have low walls behind them, only horses and wooden stakes. The trench carts can easily push away and knock them away, erecting the bridge over the trench so that the attacking troops can pass smoothly.

Even behind some trenches, there are obstacles such as low walls, and you can also use carts and pointed heads.

These instruments, with thick wooden frames, thick wooden boards, and raw cowhide and quilts, can effectively resist the blows of stone arrows.

Under the cover of these instruments, you can calmly dig walls and fill trenches. Even if the Franc machine shot at the car and the pointed head, in addition to shooting through some holes, it could not do much harm to the whole machine, not to mention the bow and arrow. …,

Of course, if the Hongyi heavy artillery was shot, the situation would naturally be different, but unfortunately the Hongyi cannon of the Qing army had already covered the slope.

The power of industry and equipment has made it easy to attack a mountain that would otherwise seem extremely difficult.

In the frightened eyes of the Qing army on the wall, the Ming army at the foot of the mountain was arranged one by one.

The whole formation suddenly fell silent, regardless of the Ming and Qing dynasties, only each other's heavy gasps remained.

At this time, the sun is rising and the temperature is getting hotter.

Suddenly, a terrible swan sounded from the position of the Chinese army in the front camp, and immediately the artillery rang out, and hundreds of Francophone cannons continued to spray large bursts of fierce fire and gunpowder smoke from the front.

Although the power of the Franc machine gun is not as good as that of the Hongyi cannon, and the bullets of these artillery pieces are not large, but the bombardment of hundreds of artillery pieces is not trivial?

I heard the deafening sound of artillery continuously, hundreds of artillery pieces had to be fired in one round, and it took a long time to count, and the artillery of the Ming army had always been fired in turns from left to right. For a time, the sound of artillery was incessant, and the sound of shells whistling was continuous.

In the sound of thunderclaps, dense cannons ranging from a few taels to two catties continued to roar and smash into the wall in front. Countless gravel and dust stirred up, and the entire wall of the Qing army seemed to be shaking and shaking.

With such a big momentum, Liu Yongzhong and others in the back were trembling, artillery, artillery, and the sharp weapon of the Ming Dynasty.

In the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty made more than 10,000 Buddha machines, which once played a huge role, and now slowly gave way to the Hongyi cannon.

However, in close combat, the Franc machine still has an irreplaceable role.

At this time, the Qing army behind the walled wall was more panicked and chaotic than the previous bombardment of the Hongyi artillery of the Shenji Battalion. Because there are too many guns in the Ming army, and in close firing, the power is also not to be underestimated.

A two-pound cannon can't collapse the wall, but what about ten, twenty, and fifty shots?

And the advantage of the Franc machine is that the heat dissipation is excellent, and it can be fired more than a dozen times in one breath and then stop the heat dissipation.

And because of the use of the sub-gun, the firing speed is very fast, and if a gunner is well trained, the first three guns will not take more than twenty seconds in total. In other words, it only takes seven or eight breaths to shoot a cannon, and the Hongyi cannon is far inferior.

Although the gunners of these car battalions are as skilled as possible, they can still shoot a shot in more than ten seconds.

Moreover, these car battalion gunners, all holding back their birds, at this time, many people actually played extraordinarily.

Most of them were gunners in groups of four, after the Franc cannon fired, one pulled out the iron flash, one person raised the sub-gun, and the other person filled in the new sub-gun, at the beginning one inserted the iron flash, and the last person fired the cannon, so that the cannon sound was really continuous.

Hundreds of cannons were endless, and there were endless cannons like thunderbolts under the mountains, which made the Qing army behind the walled wall embarrassed.

Cannonballs whistled and continued to fire at the wall, rumbling endlessly, and rubble flew sideways. Fortunately, the earth wall was hit and the stone wall was a disaster, which made the Qing army in the defense line hate why the stone wall was used when building the trench wall at that time.

The violent roar and shaking force made people's internal organs as if they were about to burst, and many people's eardrums were even more painful. Moreover, the shells brought a shower of stones, and if they were hit by fragments, they were no less than being hit by a shell.

After a miserable scream and panic, people did not dare to stand on the wall, except for a limited number of lookouts, the rest of the Qing soldiers, many people who were far away from the wall, and still lay on their stomachs tightly to prevent the burst of gravel.

From time to time, some gravel and dirt fell from the sky and smashed on their helmets and armor, and soon, many people were covered with dirt and small stones.

In the whistling sound, the artillery of the Ming army was one after another, under the fierce shelling, and finally, the thick dust rose, and the walls in many places could not resist the shells, and they collapsed one after another. …,

Although there were few people on the wall at this time, their equipment to defend the wall was still there, such as rolling wood and stones, many catapults and so on, all of which were crushed by earth and stones, and some Franc machine guns, which were also destroyed, and the Qing soldiers were crying out in pain.

However, the artillery of the Ming army still refused to give up, and the wall in front of them did not fall, and continued to bombard the wall. Those who fell, pointed at the gap, fired shells into the back of their defensive line, and bombarded the stone houses and wooden huts and tents behind their ridges, and beat those who had won the square to a mess.

In particular, the Qing army's walled gate and Niangniang temple tower were the main attack of the Ming army's artillery.

The cannons roared past, hitting the big holes in the bowls of those drawbridges everywhere, and many of the gates were penetrated. There were even two walled gates, and the ropes on the suspension bridge were broken, and the dead bridge rumbled down. Behind him, the gate was even more blown open.

Finally, in the ears of the Qing soldiers, the long-continuous Ming artillery stopped.

The Franc machine guns of the Che battalion fired at least ten shots each, and after firing thousands of large and small cannons, the Ming artillery was fired, and it came to an end.

Looking at the results of the bombardment of their own artillery, all the gunners of the car battalion showed a satisfied look in their eyes, seeing that the Tartars were rampant, they just used the Hongyi cannon to hit us coolly, and now they are comfortable with the artillery, right?

They shouted loudly, and raccoon songs burst out.

A gunner danced and sang a song: "The surname Lang is surnamed Qi, the sister's surname is Qi, and the surname of a girl is also Qi." The Qi family married the Qi family, and in the middle of the night, the body was aligned......"

Another gunner continued to sing: "Lang's surname is Mao, my sister's surname is Mao, and the surname is Mao when I marry a girl." The Mao family married to the Mao family, and in the middle of the night, they were hairy to Mao. ”

Several gunners next to the two of them sang in unison: "In the middle of the night, the body is hair-to-hair, and in the middle of the night, the body is hair-to-hair!" Ahh ”

The crowd laughed.

At this time, the wall of the Qing army, coupled with the bombardment of the previous Shenji battalion, and the bombardment of the Franc machine at this time, collapsed everywhere, and it was no longer a line of defense, as long as the army attacked, it would definitely be able to go down with a drum.

In the position of the Chinese army in the rear, Yang Guozhu was so satisfied that he put down the clairvoyant mirror and shouted: "Pass my general's order, the Chinese army beat the drum and start attacking the mountain!" ”

"Boom!"

Not far from him, a huge war drum sounded, and the sound of the thick drum spread in waves, spreading in all directions.

……

"The Tartars are out!"

Under the hot sun, Wu Sangui looked into the distance, and saw behind the foot of the Loess Ridge on the left side of the front, and at the foot of the Songshan Ridge in the southeast, the sound of thunderous hooves sounded from far and near, and two huge black lines appeared from the hills and fields in the distance.

"It seems that the Tartars are going to outflank me from the Loess Ridge and the Songshan Ridge!"

Although Wu Sangui was young, he had been in battle for a long time and quickly understood the intentions of the Qing army.

At this time, he and Bai Guangen, the chief soldier of Jizhen, led his men and horses, as well as many people, to arrive between the Loess Ridge and the Songshan Ridge, and set up a large array on the left and the right.

Bai Guangen was on the left, guarding against the Qing army's possible enemy troops coming down from the southeast of the Loess Ridge, as well as reinforcements and cavalry from Shimen Mountain, Xiaoling River and other places.

Wu Sangui was on the right, and he was not worried about guarding against the Qing cavalry coming down from Songshan Ridge, and the enemy troops in Songshan Ridge would be copied from behind.

Because not far from the rear is Hong Chengchou's large array of the Chinese army, if the enemy outflanks him from the rear, he will fall into the army under his command and the large array of the Chinese army on both sides.

In fact, the Qing cavalry of Songshan Ridge seems to have come down from the northeast side of the mountain range and slightly flanked his own side.

At this time, Wu Sangui and Bai Guangen respectively set up a large array, and between the two formations, there were dense people, who were desperately digging trenches on Pingchuan. Whether they can break the connection between Songshan Ridge and Loess Ridge depends on their desperate effect.

Wu Sangui set up two car battalions on the side of Songshan Ridge, which contained a large number of soldiers from the small artillery car battalion such as the Buddha Lang Ji Baizi Gong, as well as two thousand Donglu bird guns. …,

After the military department purchased 5,000 fine bird guns from Wang Dou, most of them were sent to the front line in Liaodong. Because of Hong Chengchou's attention, Wu Sangui's command was assigned to the East Road Bird Commander with 2,000 poles, as well as a large number of powerful medicines, which were much more than Liu Zhaoji, the general soldier of Liaodong.

In addition, there were 6,000 cavalry in each battalion under Wu Sangui's command, including 2,000 of his family, and arranged the rear and sides of the large array.

Wu Sangui glanced at it, and experience told him that there were more than 10,000 Qing cavalry forcing his own array.

However, Wu Sangui was not worried, his own car camp was sturdy, and he had sharp firearms. What he was worried about was just whether Bai Guangen on the left side could block the attack of the slave cavalry, and look at the Qing cavalry over there, which also exceeded 10,000 people.

At this time, Bai Guangen, the chief soldier of Jizhen, was sitting on his Yuanrong chariot with a golden sword.

Jizhen is a big town, and he led an army of 20,000 to aid Liaodong, of course, 20,000 is just a claim. Because the generals in the town ate empty salaries and drank the blood of the soldiers, the actual number of reinforcements was only 16,000 or 7, and some people were left behind in the camp, and at this time he pulled out less than 15,000 men and horses.

Bai Guangen's main barracks are all real numbers, with an army of 5,000 and 3,500 cavalry. The remaining infantry battalions were led by the deputies, cavalry, and traveling generals in the town, and most of the cavalry were three or seven, but their battalions were all chariot battalions.

Jizhen was the place where Qi Shuai sat back then, and he attached the most importance to the car battalion, so the infantry battalion of Jizhen Town, whether it was a car battalion or not, was equipped with many chariots in the battalion. Under Bai Guangen's command, there are many chariots, from two-wheeled light vehicles to partial box heavy vehicles.

These car battalions are also equipped with a large number of Franc machines, exterminating artillery, rockets and other sharp weapons, seeing the Qing soldiers coming, Bai Guangen is not worried. During the Battle of Xingshan, Liu Zhaoji, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong at that time, could win a lot of troops when his troops were at a disadvantage, and he could do the same. And on the bright side, your own forces are still superior. Looking at the dense chariots and artillery in the army, his heart was more settled.

He sat swaggeringly, front and back were his fine riders, and he saw that the rider was slowly approaching, the mighty people and horses, the boundless banner, although he was just riding slowly, with a strong momentum.

Bai Guangen snorted coldly, just thinking in his heart, how much he could win in this battle, and how much time he could be crowned.

Whenever he saw that Wang Dou's spirit was vivid, he felt uncomfortable. Huangkou Ruzi, when he led the army to fight, this kid didn't know where he was, and he was rampant once he got his will, which was really unpleasant.

Qing rode slowly, four miles, three miles, two miles, slowly, their armor and horses were more and more clear.

Looking at the cavalry, some of the Eight Banners Manchurian soldiers, there are white flags, white flag inlaid armor soldiers, there are some positive yellow flags and yellow flag armor soldiers, and there are many Eight Banners Mongolian army.

Woo, the desolate horn sounded, they slowly accelerated, and when they entered a mile, suddenly the horses neighed, the hooves sounded like thunder, and countless Qing soldiers rode their horses and galloped towards the military formation.

The general soldier of Jizhen couldn't sit still, so he stood up violently, and shouted at the people in front of him: "Listen to the orders of the Chinese army, and then fire the cannon when the order sounds, and if you violate it, you will be beheaded!" ”

Like a tidal wave, thousands of Qing riders, with banners like clouds, rushed to Bai Guangen's array.

The whole thing seems to be trembling violently under the iron hooves!

Rushing in front seemed to be some Eight Banners Mongol troops, all dressed in light armor, fast horses and light bows.

Bai Guangen calculated the power of his own car battalion, and only waited for them to rush into 200 steps, and then ordered an artillery rocket attack.

He nervously estimated the distance, and at the same time as he was about to wave his hand, the Mongolian cavalry that came like a tide suddenly made a horse pulling movement with skillful horsemanship, and swept towards the left and right sides of the chariot camp.

Bai Guangen was stunned for a moment, and before he could say anything, he heard the firearm explode in the sky, and his own car camp actually opened fire. At first, it was just the front battalion's vehicle formation firing, and then as if infected, several vehicle battalions in the rest of the army formation couldn't help but open fire. …,

If the thunder roared, I listened to the roar of the Franc machine and the bird's gun, the launch of the rocket, like thousands of meteors blooming, and the smoke of all kinds of firearms filled the air, covering the front of all the car camps.

Bai Guangen was stunned and stunned for a long time before he woke up and roared, "Who let you shoot?" ”

In response to him, there was a more violent shelling sound, and a large stream of gunpowder smoke was released, and all the gunners of the car battalion smashed out the ammunition in their hands in one go. The rocket vehicles of the various car battalions also fired non-stop, and it seemed that they would not stop until they finished shooting the rockets in their hands.

Finally, the sound of the cannon became a little sparse, and Bai Guangen hurriedly looked at it, and there were only a few Mongolian cavalry in front of him. And after the waves of Mongol cavalry swept to both sides, then there were waves of light cavalry, whether Manchurian cavalry or Mongol cavalry.

They clung to the chariot and fired a wave of arrows, as well as javelins, axes, slashers, and iron bones, and the gunners of the chariot battalion were constantly screaming and falling.

Bai Guangen roared: "Give me a battle, the gunner will shoot!" ”

It's just that the ammunition of the previous car battalions has been exhausted, and it is easier said than done to reload again? And under the threat of the sharp arrows of the Qing army, the soldiers were even more in a hurry.

Occasionally, some gunners and gunners opened fire, but how could it be compared to the Bobo cavalry shot by the Qing army?

The Qing cavalry rolled over round by round, not giving the Ming army time to breathe, and kept running and shooting.

For a time, several of Bai Guangen's car battalions were in danger of rout, and Bai Guangen was anxious and kept yelling, but it didn't work at all.

Suddenly, his eyes darkened: "It's over!" ”

The smoke and dust were billowing out, and I don't know how many Qing troops were pressed by heavy horses.

They were heavily armored and heavy-armed, and in the roar, they either overturned the chariot, or crashed into the chariot, or soared into the air, breaking into the camp! (To be continued.)
