Chapter 1032: The Yellow Flag's Counterattack
For a whole night, the flowering artillery of the Ming army did not stop, and the twenty flowering artillery would carry out a round of shelling every quarter of an hour, and more than 10,000 Qing troops in the city of Shunde were shivering.
By the morning of the next day, the bombardment of nearly 1,000 rounds of flowering shells had expanded the gap in the originally huge city wall again, and the patches of scorched earth, even the completed city wall bricks could no longer be found, such an attack was really too cruel.
Ao Bai knew that the next attack of the Ming army was the real beginning, and the attack of these two or three days was just a warm-up for Xu Yifan, and the main force of the Ming army outside the city of Shunde Mansion was already sharpening its knives.
Sure enough, a large section of the city wall has been completely destroyed, and the two completed green bricks can no longer be found, so what is Xu Yifan waiting for?
"Order, mobilize the main force of the infantry of the first town of the Tianwei Army to open the way, and the main force of the infantry of Tongzhou Town will then launch a round of attacks, mobilize two musket battalions, advance forward, and advance to a hundred and fifty steps away in one breath, and shoot fiercely towards the gap in Shunde Mansion to suppress the Qing army's counterattack! Mu Feng, haven't you been waiting for a long time? Come on, it's your turn! ”
Xu Yifan said coldly.
"Okay!"
Qin Mufeng agreed, waved the big gun in his hand in the air, and shouted: "The first town of the Tianwei Army, Tongzhou Town, attack with me!" Musket battalion, cover! ”
The first town of the Tianwei Army, Tongzhou Town, the two military towns, the infantry together, more than 20,000 people, began to rush towards the huge gap at the head of the city of Shunde Mansion, like a frenzied wave!
The entire gap is only about twenty battles wide and narrow, and all the main forces of the Tianwei Army's infantry can only attack in this space, and similarly, the Manchurian cavalry has also gathered here, ready to resist to the death!
Qin Mufeng was very shrewd, the two military towns were divided into four waves, each time four infantry battalions were dispatched, four thousand people, after a wave of attacks, followed by the second wave of attacks to replace the attack, taking turns to carry out a strong offensive against the Qing army at the gap, maintaining strong military pressure, at the same time, the two musket battalions, separated on both sides, continued to shoot at the Qing army at the gap, covering the charge of the main infantry force.
In the city of Shunde Mansion, Ao Bai also mobilized heavy troops, one by one with bows and arrows, and began to release arrows frantically, the Qing army did not have muskets, and only the bows and arrows in their hands could be relied on, but their bows and arrows could bring many casualties to the Ming army, and it was not certain, but the huge threat brought by the two musket battalions to the Qing army at the gap, that was obvious!
Bang bang bang......
The two musket battalions are constantly shooting, a distance of one hundred and fifty paces, can ensure the strong lethality of the flintlock musket, at the same time, it also makes the Qing army's bows and arrows can not fully exert their power, they can hit the main force of the infantry in the charge, but can not threaten the musketeers, the bow and arrow has not yet shot a few, a wave of bullets came, the Qing cavalry were shot, the Qing cavalry had to retreat one after another, dodging the bullets of the Ming army's muskets.
Ao Bai's heart was cold, and sure enough, as Wu Sangui said, as soon as the Ming army's musket battalion pushed forward, his cavalry couldn't stop it at all, he couldn't stop it at all! The range of the Ming army's muskets was too long, and it could inflict damage on the opponent at a distance of three hundred paces, but the Manchurian cavalry, even the most elite soldiers, could only make the feather arrows in their hands maintain a certain degree of lethality at a distance of one hundred and fifty paces, but even if they held the elite with yellow flags in their hands, where could they find a large number of archers who could guarantee a distance of one hundred and fifty paces?
Now it's a disaster!
Ao Bai was anxious, I don't know what to do, if I can't come up with the doctrine, it won't be long before the main force of the infantry of the Ming army will rush up, and now this huge city wall gap is not blocked, and the Ming army doesn't even need to use the ram and siege ladder, you can rush directly into the city!
When Ao Bai was anxious, Wu Sangui on the side shouted: "Lord Ao Bai, there is no other way now, quickly pass the order, and the elite attack with the yellow flag!" Kill it directly and use the speed of cavalry to attack the attacking Ming infantry! There's only one way! ”
Ao Bai's heart was shocked, although Wu Sangui's idea was not very good, but now there is only one risk, with the help of the powerful assault force of the elite of the yellow flag, forcibly disperse the main force of the Ming infantry in the attack, especially their two musket battalions, they must be defeated, otherwise, this section of the city wall will definitely not be able to hold!
"The elite of the yellow flag is assembled, attack with me, and charge with all your might!"
Ao Bai couldn't care about much, roared angrily, led the elite of five thousand cavalry gathered behind him to rush out, and rushed straight to the main force of the Ming army's infantry, and now the main force of the Ming army's infantry is less than 100 steps away from the city wall, a hundred steps away, for the elite of the yellow flag, it will arrive in the blink of an eye, even if the Ming army wants to change the formation, it is already too late!
Even Qin Mufeng, who was in the charge, didn't expect that Ao Bai would dare to lead the elite of the yellow flag to rush out of the city at this time, and his heart was suddenly shocked, and it was already a little late to deal with it!
"All the troops, musketeers, shoot!"
Qin Mufeng's face changed drastically, and he shouted loudly.
There is no need for Qin Mufeng to order, the main elite of the Tianwei Army is the main elite after all, experienced in a hundred battles, it is really not covered, facing the elite of the yellow flag whistling in, still has no change of color, and crashes towards the cavalry!
Especially the two musket battalions, the moment the cavalry rushed out, all the musketeers of the two musket battalions concentrated their fire on the attacking cavalry!
For a while, bullets rained down, and dense bullets blocked the cavalry in the attack, but it was obviously unrealistic to rely on the two musket battalions alone to stop the thousands of elite with yellow flags who were only a hundred paces away.
The Yellow Banner cavalry still ran headlong into the main infantry force of the Tianwei Army, and smashed into the formation of the Tianwei Army like a battering ram!
Drink!
The elite infantry of the first town of the Tianwei Army at the forefront let out an angry roar in unison, and the swords and guns in their hands danced at the same time, launching an attack on the cavalry!
In an instant, blood splattered, stumps and severed arms flew wildly, and the battlefield was filled with terrible roars!
After all, the elite of the yellow flag is the elite of the yellow flag, relying on the infantry alone, it is too difficult to defeat the elite of the cavalry, even if it is the most fierce Tianwei infantry in the world, it is difficult to do this, the elite cavalry of the yellow flag is under the leadership of Aobai, and it is like a wedge to nail into the Tianwei army!
