Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 435 Moth and Resolute

Under the astonished eyes of the white armored soldiers and the Qing army in the front row, the Ming army's Xiaofolang machine guns roared one after another.

The dark red tongue of fire was faintly seen in the dark muzzle, and a large cloud of gunpowder smoke rose slowly, like white clouds in the blue sky falling to the ground.

The fan-shaped shotguns sprinkled on the Qing army were like giant scythes in the hands of the god of death, wantonly harvesting the lives of soldiers.

In front of these fiery blunderbusses in the cold, no matter whether you are a white-armored warrior wearing three layers of heavy armor, or an ordinary bannerman who has killed countless Ming people, you are completely equal.

The solid projectiles intertwined and penetrated into the formation of the Qing army like scissors, rampaging like entering no one's land, and did not stop the small body full of flesh and blood until the kinetic energy completely disappeared.

Almost at the same time, the front cavalry of the Mongolian Eight Banners in the south also rushed to the range of Cheying's artillery.

Due to the wider cross-section of the large group of surprise soldiers, almost all the more than a hundred artillery pieces on the left wing fired, and all of them fired shotguns.

The cavalry in the front row, who were targeting even bigger targets with men and horses, rolled and fell to the ground like crops smashed by hail, while the following horses neighed bursts of shock from the shocking sound of the two hundred artillery pieces.

Because of the great fright, many war horses suddenly jumped up while running at high speed, shaking their heads wildly, as if trying to shake the deafening sound out of their ears.

A dozen or so cavalry were caught off guard by the frightened horses, and were trampled into a pile of meat paste by countless bowl-sized horseshoes.

At this time, the speed of the horse had reached the extreme, and the cavalry behind heard the violent gunfire in front, even if they wanted to evade the horse, they were already caught off guard, and the horse continued to charge within fifty paces of the chariot.

At this time, the gunners of the Ming army gave full play to the advantages of the fast loading and launching of the Franc machine.

One of the two loaders is responsible for pulling out the fired sub-gun, and the other quickly stuffs the prepared sub-gun into the long empty slot and then presses the valve, and the gunner quickly ignites the fire door to fire.

The dizzying series of movements of the three people who cooperated tacitly completed within a few breaths, making the firing speed of the Frang machine far exceed that of the firecracker, while the lethality of a Frang machine firing shotguns is equivalent to dozens of Gunslinger.

Almost all of the more than two hundred Flang machines fired four blunderbuss this time, except for the cavalry in the back row of the Mongolian Eight Banners who turned their horses and ran away before their horse speed reached the highest speed. The Qing troops on both sides suffered devastating blows. hit.

Only [-] of the [-] infantry of the Liangbai Banner survived by luck, and there was no Qing army standing within a hundred steps of the Ming army's chariot camp.

The corpses of the Qing army on the ground are already mutilated, and the heads of many soldiers have been smashed, even if they are taken back, they are already unrecognizable.

Various human organs are soaked in the pool of blood, red, white, black and green are intertwined, and the strong smell of blood makes people want to vomit.

Sword and shield players, spearmen, and musketeers of the Ming army lined up again from the gap between the vans, chasing and killing the two white-flag soldiers who were fleeing.

That's right, the Eight Banners soldiers, who had always maintained an overwhelming advantage over the Ming army, were defeated and fled.

Just like the Ming army who fled all over the mountains and plains in front of them before, the proud elite soldiers of the Eight Banners have been defeated.

The infantrymen of the Ming army are chasing and killing them bravely around the pool of blood on the ground.

The Mongolian Eight Banners in the south are not much better.

The mutilated corpses of the beaten people and horses were all over the ground, and the scene was even more miserable than that of the two white flags.

The cavalry fleeing to the two sides seemed to be less than two thousand cavalry, and nearly half of the three thousand cavalry had not even touched the edge of the Ming army.

When the battle started at Cheying, the two white-flag soldiers who were fighting bloody battles with the white-armed soldiers also suffered unprecedented heavy losses.

The tenacious white-armed soldiers firmly blocked the impact of the Qing army headed by the white-armored soldiers. When the two sides were at a stalemate, the Qing army archers arrived and began to deploy and shoot.

All of a sudden, countless heavy arrows crossed tens of steps and landed on the formation of the white soldiers. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of white soldiers were injured or killed in the six formations. There was a big gap in the front row formation. The Qing army in the front row took advantage of the situation and rushed forward a few more steps.

Just when the situation was in jeopardy, several Francophones on the fort fired shotguns.

Previously, because the formation of the white soldiers protruded a hundred paces away, they were within the shooting range of shotguns, and the Qing army adopted a strategy of fighting close to the white soldiers, so that the gunners of the Ming army did not dare to fire and bombard .

Let's lower the muzzle and shoot solid projectiles. They are also afraid of accidentally injuring their own people, so the gunners can only stare at the bloody battle between the two sides, but there is no way to help.

The musketeers in the middle had to guard against the advance of the two red flags, and they were unable to rush over to provide support for the white soldiers. After the Qing army archers stepped forward and shot hundreds of white soldiers, the Qing army infantry suddenly exerted force and killed the white soldiers. The formation of pole soldiers was cut off one layer at a time.

Now the six formations of white soldiers have basically been killed to the fourth floor.

According to their rules, after killing the fifth floor, they must find a chance to retreat, otherwise the whole army will be wiped out.

When the formation of white soldiers was compressed into about sixty paces, the opportunity that the gunners had been waiting for finally arrived.

Thunderbolt-like loud noises sounded one after another, and six or seven Flang machines fired two blunderbusses in succession, sweeping down several archer phalanxes and the Qing army in the back row, causing the Qing army's front and rear formations to collapse. A huge gap has emerged.

The [-] grenadiers who hurried over were divided into several teams and threw Zhen Tianlei with all their might.

In the gunpowder and mud, the Qing army in the front row howled and fell down hundreds of people, and those near the bombing point were also stunned. Hit again and again back.

"The car is full of cannons?! Order to go down! Order the coats, transport and baggage to withdraw first! After that, the whole army retreats, looking for an opportunity to return north! Inform Prince Cheng, and ask the two red flags to be responsible for breaking the rear! Inform the two blue flags, and retreat north quickly! "

Hearing the report from Kulecha, who narrowly escaped with his life, Dorgon made the most correct decision in an instant.

He no longer has the intention of pursuing Kule's loss of soldiers and generals.

This battle can't be fought. If they don't retreat quickly, the two white flags will face front and rear attacks, so it's not a matter of how many troops are lost.

The Ming army actually planted such a powerful ambush in the baggage camp, and it was a new type of army that had never appeared before, and the Qing army was unable to deal with and crack it for a while.

After connecting several battles before and after, Dorgon suddenly understood completely.

From the beginning to the present, the Eight Banners have gradually fallen into the full set of the Ming army.

It is not clear whether there is a mountain of supplies in the supply camp, but the Ming army obviously guessed the strategy of the Eight Banners eager for success, so they used the supply camp as a bait to lure the Eight Banners to divide their troops to rush forward, and then used their trump card at the critical moment , Prepare to eat the elite of the Eight Banners in one bite.

After receiving the order to retreat, the Qing army in the front line, which was being killed by the white soldiers, rushed forward for a while, suppressing the counterattack momentum of the white soldiers, and then turned around and retreated without delay.

The white soldiers who had suffered heavy losses were also unable to fight any more, and could only watch helplessly as the Qing army retreated to the north under the pursuit of Fran's machine guns.

After receiving the order, the packers in the rear array pushed their carts in a hurry and fled to the north carrying the Qing army's food, grass and luggage.

Yue Tuo, who had already received Dorgon's message, was also shocked. He immediately ordered to stop the attack he was going to launch again, and ordered a Meilezhangjing to lead four thousand infantry and one thousand archers to lead the formation, and the rest began to attack. The camp in the northeast retreated.

After the two blue flags were attacked by Zhentianlei and Flangji in turn, they retreated northward under the cover of the [-] Mongolian Eight Banners cavalry led by Abatai who did not participate in the battle.

On the other side, the more than 1000 cavalry who were defeated by the car battalion fled far from the east to the north.

"See Xueshi Sun and Mrs. Qin for the humble position! Please order me to lead the army to hunt down Jianlu! Also ask Xueshi Sun to order!"

Sun Yingyuan came to see Sun Chuanting and Qin Liangyu without receiving the order to pursue them, and asked about the next battle deployment.
