Chapter 1000: The Decisive Battle of Huai'an (2)

Inside and outside the city, the artillery of the Ming army has exceeded 80 guns combined, including more than 10 flowering cannons that have just been produced and equipped by the Firearms Bureau, plus 50 rockets, such firepower, it can be said that in this land, from ancient times to the present, there has really never been such a large-scale, high-intensity hot weapon battle!

As soon as the ferocious artillery fire was shot, the Manchurian battalion was blinded, it was too violent, the smoke and flames shrouded the entire Manchurian battalion, and the war horses in the battalion continued to neigh, not to mention the rabble of the green battalion soldiers, even the Manchurian cavalry who had been a great enemy for a long time were now pale, with a face of fear, and it was true that the Manchurian elite cavalry was not afraid of death, but it was in the face-to-face battle, and now it was faced with artillery and rockets that had no power to fight back, and even the face of the enemy could not be seen, so they put their lives in, then it's not worth dying, and no Manchurian elite is willing to throw away his life like this.

"Lord Wu, mobilize our artillery and return fire!"

Tan Tai's face was ugly to death, and he shouted at Wu Sangui.

Wu Sangui didn't dare to slack off, and under an order, the forty artillery pieces behind the Manchurian army were also put into battle, but in the face of the Ming army's eighty artillery pieces and fifty rockets, the combat power of Manchuria's forty artillery pieces was too small, not only the number was very different, but even the power was much worse than the Ming army's red-coated artillery, and the Manchurian artillery was completely suppressed by the Ming army, and could only withstand the Ming army's bombardment again and again!

"Lord Tan, it's not okay to continue like this, we are too passive, after a long time, our position will definitely be smashed by the artillery of the Ming army!"

Wu Sangui's heart swelled with tremors, his face was full of fear, and he said to Tan Tai in a hurry.

Of course, Tan Tai knew, and shouted: "Then what do you say?" Now that the army is disheartened, even if we want to attack, we must be able to defeat the Ming army! ”

Wu Sangui gritted his teeth and said: "Lord Tan, I led the green battalion soldiers to attack the Ming army's Beijing camp from the front, contain their artillery fire, you lead the Manchurian elite cavalry to attack the flank of the Ming army's Beijing camp, as long as you break through their flank, concentrate your forces, supply their firearms battalion, and must defeat their firearms battalion, this is our only chance, otherwise, we will be crushed under the bombardment of Zhu Jie's artillery!" ”

Tan Tai's heart was shocked, what Wu Sangui said was not unreasonable, it was not okay to just respond to the battle passively like this, it was too passive, the artillery was okay to say, the threat brought by this flying rocket to the cavalry was too great, and if it continued to fight like this, it would not take a few days for the cavalry to suffer heavy casualties.

Now that Azig is not there, Tan Tai, as the highest commander in Manchuria, can only rely on himself to make decisions.

"Lord Wu, the Guanning Iron Cavalry and the Green Battalion are all attacking! The order goes down, the Manchurian elite cavalry is ready to assault, no matter what the cost, they must break through the defenses of the Ming army's Beijing camp and destroy their firearms battalion!! ”

Tan Tai gave an order, and Wu Sangui led the green battalion soldiers and the Guanning iron cavalry to press up against the Jingying army, approaching the defense line of the Beijing camp!

Zhu Jie looked coldly at the army of Wu Sangui rushing up in the distance, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, the green battalion soldiers and the Guanning iron cavalry? Hehe, it seems that Tan Tai and Wu Sangui can't sit still, they are scared by their own artillery fire, but are you sure that you can defeat my firearms battalion if you go to war? Joke!

"Xia Wanchun, prepare to face the battle, lead the Beijing infantry to resist the advance of the Guanning Iron Cavalry and the Green Battalion soldiers, mobilize a thousand musketeers, hold the frontal position, and don't let the opponent rush to our position!"

Zhu Jie shouted.

Xia Wanchun and Lu Yang hurriedly started to act, mobilized the troops of the Beijing camp to the front, and prepared to resist the attack of the Guanning Iron Cavalry and the Green Battalion.

Yang Chengzu on the side said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, look in the distance, the Manchurian elite cavalry has begun to assemble again, I am afraid that it is going to attack our firearms battalion secretly......"

Zhu Jie sneered: "Hehe, you want to sneak attack our firearms battalion? Then let's see if they have such an opportunity, mobilize a musket battalion to guard the perimeter of the artillery battalion and rockets, and the Tianwei army will protect our flanks, once the cavalry breaks through the blockade of the firearms battalion, Yang Chengzu, then it's up to your Tianwei army, no matter what, you can't let the Manchurian elite cavalry assault our artillery and rocket battalions! This time, I want to encircle and annihilate the Manchurian army in one fell swoop, and I can't even run back to Shandong! ”

Xia Wanchun and Lu Yang led the Beijing camp army and finally got on the hard bar with the green camp and the Guanning iron cavalry, the Beijing camp infantry was slightly inferior to the Guanning iron cavalry, but it surpassed the green camp soldiers, and now the Manchurian army is disheartened, and the combat power can not even play eighty percent of the usual time, even if the troops are stronger than the Beijing camp, they still can't gain the upper hand, and the 1,000 musketeers of the Beijing camp are all aimed at the Guanning iron cavalry to stop the speed of the impact of the Guanning iron cavalry, as for the green battalion soldiers, it is to let them defend and rush up, and the infantry of the Beijing camp is not afraid of the green battalion soldiers at all, The two sides fought fiercely in front of the battle, and the green battalion soldiers were completely suppressed and beaten by the Beijing camp infantry, if it weren't for the fear of the Guanning iron cavalry on the side, I was afraid that the Beijing camp had already defeated the green battalion soldiers.

Even so, if the Green Battalion wants to shake the position of the Beijing Battalion Army, it is also wishful thinking.

In the distance, Tan Tai looked at the frontal position force, has been attracted by the Guanning Iron Cavalry and the Green Battalion, an order, 10,000 elite cavalry attacked again, straight to the flank of the Beijing camp position, roaring, this time Tan Tai personally went out to fight, commanding the Manchurian elite cavalry charge, success or failure in one fell swoop, defeated the firearms battalion of the Beijing army, he may still have a chance to turn over, once he can't break through the opponent, can't defeat the firearms battalion, his army will be defeated, the longer the time drags on, the more dangerous he is, Tan Tai has already put his fate on this battle!

Tens of thousands of elite cavalry roared in, straight to the flank position, braving the artillery and rockets of the Ming army to continue to move forward, for a glimmer of life, the Manchurian elite cavalry this time was really desperate, completely ignoring the cannonballs and rockets that kept whistling in the sky, even if the cavalry was constantly blown up by the explosion, it could not affect the Manchurian elite cavalry in the charge.

Soon the Manchurian cavalry rushed out of the distance of two or three miles, and the distance from the musket battalion was already less than three or four hundred steps, the musket battalion did not hesitate, opened fire instantly, and began to block the Manchurian cavalry that came up, one attack, one defense, and the two sides once again launched a desperate struggle in the space of three hundred steps in front of the position of the Beijing camp!
