Chapter 989: The First Battle of the Beijing Camp (3)
When the Manchurian cavalry had already rushed to a distance of two hundred paces, the muskets in the hands of the four thousand musketeers began to shoot wildly.
Five rounds of volleyed fire, each shot will have 800 rounds of bullets, and the time interval between each wave of shooting is only a dozen seconds, it's crazy!
The distance of two hundred steps for the cavalry, the blink of an eye, but, it is the distance of two hundred steps, it has become a moat, maybe there are lucky cavalry can get away with it, continue to brave the rain of muskets and bullets to continue to advance, but, can avoid the first wave, the second wave, and even the third wave, the fourth wave, and even the fifth wave, but such a lucky Manchurian cavalry is too few after all, if one or two thousand people can rush up in one breath, for the Manchurian cavalry, naturally occupy the absolute upper hand, Relying on the powerful assault ability of the cavalry, it is even possible to crush the musket battalion.
However, this is impossible, Azig only brought 10,000 elite cavalry to attack Zhu Jie, in order to ensure a rapid attack, sent an arrow formation, a group of cavalry columns to launch a surprise attack towards the battlefield, although the formation is dense, but this team discharges the elders, after all, in this way, the cavalry will suffer from the probability of artillery and musket attack will be much smaller, but, the same dilemma, is the current situation, although the cavalry went forward to launch a charge, but, At the same time, the cavalry that can break into within 200 steps is no more than 500 people, but the muskets encountered within 200 steps are even more violent, from 200 steps to 100 steps, it is purgatory, how many cavalry come in, they are all nine deaths, and even if all 500 cavalry can rush to within 100 steps, there is still a distance of 100 steps, and the Manchurian elite cavalry will suffer more fierce musket shooting, this is a dead end!
If you can't get by, you can't get over it at all!
Under the frantic fire of 4,000 musketeers, the Manchurian elite cavalry finally could not withstand it.
Launched a whole second attack, the casualties of the Manchurian cavalry have been close to 3,000 people, such a huge casualty, even the Manchurian cavalry can not bear it, after all, the Manchurian cavalry is also a person, and they also know that they are afraid, but they are more fierce and more daring than ordinary people, and now the casualties of 10,000 elite cavalry are 3,000, which has reached the limit that the Manchurian elite cavalry can endure in the charge, and at the same time, it has also reached the limit that Azig can endure.
If the musket battalion of the Beijing army continues to shoot, I am afraid that the 10,000 elite cavalry will not break up the fight!
The forward battalion at the forefront has now suffered more than half of the casualties, and it was completely stunned, and with a shout, the forward battalion began to be chaotic, constantly collapsing in all directions!
"Finish! Lead the army! ”
Zhu Jie was still standing coldly at the front of the army, seeing that the Manchurian elite cavalry had completely lost its sharpness, and the time was ripe for a counterattack, he shouted loudly.
Counteroffensive, at this very moment!
Now a big war has completely arched the morale of the soldiers of the Beijing camp to the highest point, and these soldiers of the Beijing camp are not lacking in combat power, but lacking morale, determination and bloodthirsty soul!
In less than half an hour of the battle, the blood stains on the battlefield have completely ignited the blood in the hearts of these Beijing soldiers, and there is no longer any fear, the legendary Manchurian elite cavalry is nothing more than that, it is also flesh and blood, in less than half an hour, more than 2,000 corpses have been left on the battlefield, two thousand bodies, grandma's, afraid to beg, even the emperor is firmly standing at the forefront of the position, what else is there to be afraid of these little pawns, a cheap life, dead, needless to say, alive, Killing one of the two Manchurian cavalrymen alive is a great achievement, but the emperor said that one head can be exchanged for thirty taels of silver! That's a lot of money, it's enough to buy land, build a house, and marry a wife!
As for Xia Wanchun, he was even more warlike, and when he heard Zhu Jie's military order, the golden nail jujube yang lance in his hand waved fiercely, and thousands of cavalry followed Xia Wanchun from the left and right flanks of the camp and rushed towards the Manchurian elite cavalry!
Behind the cavalry, there are 6,000 infantry, also crushed up, this battle, is to completely stabilize the fighting spirit of the Beijing camp, the soldiers of the Beijing camp are carefully selected by Zhao Zhenghang and Cha Xuan, the potential is endless, and now the morale is high, once the blood is experienced, crawling out of the pile of dead, that is not weaker than the proud soldiers of the Tianwei Army!
Now that the Manchurian elite cavalry is under the pressure of muskets, it has been completely chaotic, and it is constantly retreating, and as soon as Xia Wanchun's cavalry rushes up, the scattered Manchurian elite cavalry can only be killed by the neck.
In the distance, Azig saw the green muscles bursting up, Zhu Jie, it is really too treacherous, the timing of the counterattack is extremely accurate, this time is the weakest time for the Manchurian elite cavalry front battalion and the Chinese army, they have all been scattered, at this time the cavalry is dispatched, the forward battalion and the Chinese army will definitely not be able to support it!
"Longtai and Bi Basu, lead the two wings of elite cavalry to respond to the retreat of the forward and the Chinese army!"
Azig roared.
Long Tai and Bi Basu agreed, and began to kill on the battlefield, but it was too late to start at this time, after all, the front army retreated, the Manchurian spirit was sluggish, and the most important thing was that the two wings of the forward rush now collided with the retreating front army, as for Xia Wanchun, who was rushing to kill, he was leading the cavalry to constantly rush left and right, constantly carrying out this massacre.
Longtai and Bi Basu are both battle-hardened generals, at this time, they naturally know what to do, and the cavalry on both wings suddenly detoured towards the two wings, ready to wrap the cavalry of the entire Beijing camp into it, and then eat it in one go! After all, although the musket battalion is powerful, it does not mean that their cavalry and infantry are strong, and now it is time to test their depth!
Zhu Jie in front of the camp raised his eyebrows, it seems that the generals in the Manchurian elite cavalry still have two brushes, and they have dealt with it so quickly, once Xia Wanchun is surrounded, it will be a big loss, and the current cavalry has not yet had the capital to shake the Manchurian elite cavalry.
"Lu Yang!"
Zhu Jie shouted.
The deputy chief soldier of the Beijing camp on the side hurriedly bowed down and said, "Your Majesty! ”
"Here we are optimistic about our artillery battalion and musket battalion, once the Manchurian elite cavalry approaches, fire with all their might, we can't let them rush to the position, mobilize pikemen to rush forward, and protect the musketeers!"
Zhu Jie gave an order, and the spear in his hand slammed into the butt of the war horse, and the war horse had already rushed forward with a long neigh!
"Your Majesty!"
Lu Yang was in a hurry, the emperor, this is an old life, the emperor actually chose to go into battle in person, if there are three long and two short, don't want to live!
"What are you doing in a daze? Go up quickly, protect the emperor, even if you all die, you can't let the emperor hurt a single hair! ”
Lu Yang yelled sharply at the elite of the intelligence department beside him.
In fact, there is no need for Lu Yang to roar, these three hundred elite horsemen dare not slack off, they only have one goal when they come to Huai'an, to protect the safety of the emperor, and all the rest do not need to be taken to heart, the emperor has already gone to war, where can they stay?
