Chapter 553 Tashan Meat Grinder!

ps: Continue to ask for monthly tickets!

The battle has heated up from the beginning.

Along the line of Tashan and Baitaishan, the Ming army deployed nearly [-] shield vehicles in one go, covering the brigade of troops and slowly advancing against the front line of artillery fire from the Qing army.

The forwards who followed closely behind the shield car saw that they were only a few dozen steps away from the parapet of the long moat guarded by the Qing army, and gestured nervously to each other, indicating that they were ready.Someone carefully blows the tinder rope around his mouth, preparing to ignite the tinder of the horsetail grenades he is carrying.Grenade is the first-class weapon in close combat, and it can also be used as a pioneer.

"You should hurry up!!?"

The Qing army waiting behind the parapet of the trench held their weapons, and they were almost overwhelmed by the huge pressure brought by the Ming army's slow upward movement.His eyes almost burst into flames, and he stared viciously at the shield vehicles that were getting closer, but at this time, the artillery fire did not dare to fire any more. After several rounds of shooting, the copper-cast gun barrel and barrel became hot, and then I am afraid that the firing of artillery will create opportunities for the Ming army instead.

Seeing that the distance was only [-] to [-] steps, and they were already within the range of bows and arrows and firecrackers. With a wave of Jia Lazhangjing's hand, hundreds of coated soldiers and firecrackers took off the firecrackers in unison, and used sticks to put the gunpowder Then ram it with the projectile twice, so as not to make contact with it and affect the potency of the medicine.

However, just as the firecrackers were standing behind the parapet, ready to greet the arrival of the Ming army again with dense projectiles, the] ∞,... these shield vehicles slowed down and began to attack the two adjacent shield vehicles. Cars are used as a unit to concentrate. At a distance of more than ten steps, the shield car and the forwards behind the car are concentrated, and the formation becomes denser and denser.A huge gap suddenly appeared on the originally wide front!

But at the back of the space, behind the parapet, the firecrackers holding their firecrackers and preparing to shoot were shocked to find that the black muzzles of dozens of big French machines and six-pound guns were pointing directly at themselves!

"What a cunning barbarian!" Jialazhangjing saw the black muzzles of the guns, and then woke up like a dream.It turns out that behind the Ming army shield car are not only the forwards charging into the battle, but also those damn cannons!

"Go back quickly!" He turned his head and ordered the guards around him, wanting him to send an order to let the firecrackers temporarily retreat to the trenches to avoid the artillery fire, so as not to be killed by the artillery fire.

As soon as the words fell, fires erupted in the ranks of the Ming army.Then, white smoke filled the air, and suddenly, dozens of large and small iron balls roared out of the smoke and fire, and smashed towards them abruptly!

A large artillery shell weighing almost nine catties hit the top of the bunker where Jialazhangjing was located.A piece of wood on the bunker was knocked down, and a large piece of the hard covering soil layer was also collapsed. Jia Lazhangjing's head and face were immediately covered with scattered soil clods, but a family member beside him However, the head of the slave guard had been smashed off by the fallen wood, and the helmet stained with brains and blood fell into the dust.

With a loud "boom", a copper Francois machine gun erected behind the parapet was hit by a six-pounder shell.Immediately, the cannon was smashed and paralyzed on the spot, and the iron ball was flying around with the gun carriage and the gun wheel. What was even more frightening was that the shells flew and bumped around, igniting the powder keg next to it. Immediately, the explosive keg caused a tragic explosion killing.

The artillery fire is close to the shooting, no matter in terms of shooting accuracy or design power.The impact on people is huge.However, it was refreshing for Wu Sangui who was watching from the back.For Dorgon, it was like a world shattering and earth shaking.

The Ming army used artillery fire at a position less than a hundred steps away from the Qing army. The dense shells roared and came one after another, hitting the first line of defense of the Qing army heavily. Whether it was bunkers, parapets, or trenches, they were all smashed by shells. It's a mess.

The heavy and fiery shells burned by the passion of the gunpowder fell on the hard ground and walls.Either bounce vigorously and charge straight away, or slam the earth wall into a big gap, without losing momentum, and even ram around.

The extremely hard frozen ground is the best place for solid bullets to play.These five or six catties, seven or eight catties of iron balls rolled and jumped.The gunners of the Packed Soldiers who were densely gathered behind the wall were beaten until they cried and howled, and their flesh was bloody. This round of artillery fire took away the lives, arms, and calves of many Packed Soldiers.

The shrill screams could be heard one after another in the long trench. Before Jialazhangjing ordered the auxiliary soldiers Gengen and the coated Ahahs to come forward to treat the wounded soldiers, they heard the sound of cannons again, followed by another It was hundreds of iron balls embracing each other. This time, the gunners of the Ming army changed a trick for the Qing army. The cannon used a group of bullet holders, one for each large bullet, accompanied by more than a dozen small bullets.The purpose was to kill and injure the Qing soldiers behind the parapet.

These shells whizzed over, constantly smashing between the parapet and the ditch of the Qing army, and some even passed the first parapet and went straight to the various low walls and ditch behind. Soldiers and officers were hit by the shells, and the huge impact smashed them into two pieces, and the rain of blood and broken flesh flew all over the sky.

Gradually, the artillery fire of the Ming army began to concentrate on several places where the soldiers gathered and the bunkers used as command posts, and intensively bombarded the bunkers and the caves, smashing the roofs of the bunkers and the caves. , Several bunkers even began to emit green smoke, and in a blink of an eye the flames jumped and burned on the wood.

Those auxiliary soldiers who were carrying soil bags and were ready to fill the bags with soil to plug the gaps were also constantly being carried down by the shells. They did not have the military discipline and endurance of front-line soldiers, and screamed everywhere. Running, in a blink of an eye, he bumped into the cannonballs that were bouncing around and hurting people.

The violent bombardment went on for three rounds, and no less than a thousand shells of different sizes smashed into the Qing army's position. Seeing that there were no more running targets on the Qing army's position, the Ming army's artillery fire gradually became sparse, and the gun barrels became hot after continuous firing. , need to stop for a while to dissipate the heat.

However, these three columns of bombardment had completely destroyed the Qing army's position. Jia Lazhangjing found his long knife from the mound of soil, shook his head, and tried his best to remove some of the dust on his body.Looking around, the scenery in front of you is like hell on earth.The ground of the two lines of defense was full of blood and stumps, and the screams of the sergeants resounded.Those injured sergeants who were hit by the iron ball all had broken legs and broken arms, and their injuries were horrific.

"What a Li Huamei! What a Wu Sangui! It's really hot!"

On Tashan Fort, Dorgon and Duoduo brothers had a panoramic view of this scene, not thinking about the first layer of fortifications that could at least repel the attack of thousands of people from the Ming army.It turned out to be so vulnerable in front of such approaching artillery fire!

"Second brother! Look! What are Ming dogs doing?!"

With sharp eyes, Duoduo pointed at the Ming army in the distance and exclaimed sharply.

Under the cover of the artillery fire, the earthen trucks that followed closely behind the shielded vehicle by more than a hundred steps stepped forward one after another, and piled up the soil bags carried on the vehicles around the shielded vehicle and the artillery vehicle.A mud wall half a person high was formed around the shield car, and after that, people picked up sea water and poured the cold sea water on the soil bag, and it condensed into ice in a blink of an eye.

Use defense as offense!The Ming army used the same weather to minimize the impact distance and reduce the killing range of the Qing army's firearms, bows and arrows, laying the foundation for its own infantry impact.

Seeing that a rudimentary shape appeared on one's own earthen wall, and then seeing that the Qing army's position on the opposite side was shattered by its own artillery fire, a burst of cheers and whistles broke out in the Ming army's ranks, and several distant ranks Some of them even sang vulgar ditties loudly.

The flag officer in the battalion waved the military flag a few times.Under the leadership of the coach who recognized the flag, the entire Ming army began to move forward slowly.

The rapid artillery attack just now undoubtedly boosted the morale of the Ming army enormously and strongly.Of course, the feeling on the other hand is completely different. Nearly a hundred cannons bombarded them from the distance of their heads almost at the same time. Frangji, Great General, and Tiger Crouching Pao are much more powerful, and this kind of treatment is probably nothing more than hell for the Qing army.

Standing at both ends of the battlefield naturally has completely different feelings.

In a blink of an eye, the distance between the two sides became even closer.The gunfire soldiers who approached the Qing army could almost distinguish the facial features of the fire gun soldiers in the front row opposite.

"Go up!"

Behind the parapet, which was ravaged by artillery fire and looked like the teeth of the old man in the twilight, the gunmen raised their weapons to their counterparts on the opposite side.

"Bang bang bang!" There was a burst of gunfire.The entire row of gunfire soldiers at the forefront of the Ming army fell down almost at the same time, and splashes of blood fell on the snow.However, the Ming army was not affected in any way, and instead fought back fiercely with more intensive platoons of guns.

After a row of shots, there were not many gunners left behind the broken parapet.

At this moment, the distance between the two sides has been shortened, and the reflections of countless weapons can already be reflected in the eyes of the soldiers on both sides.

At such a short distance, the firecracker has lost its effect.The pike soldiers and sword and shield soldiers in the Qing army began to grin grinningly and gripped the tiger spears, long knives, and big axes in their hands, preparing to use them to teach this damned Nikan a lesson!

"Grenadiers, step forward! Drop bombs!"

With a shout from the officers in the queue, the grenadiers had already taken out the horsetail grenades from their backpacks.First lift up the huge grenade with one hand, then use the tinder rope in your hand to ignite the ignition of the grenade, then swing the grenade with one hand, and use all your strength to move towards the place where the soldiers of the Qing army gathered Throw it out.

"Boom!" With a series of huge explosions, horsetail grenades filled with two catties of gunpowder exploded everywhere in the Qing army's long trench fortifications, and the entire Qing army position was immediately shrouded in white smoke.

At this time, someone in the Ming army yelled: "Kill the slaves!" Suddenly, there was a frenzy, and the pickers of the Ming army rushed to the front of the Qing army.The officers and soldiers of the Qing army who guarded here also went mad and jumped out of the trench so suddenly that they collided in one place.

Both sides have full confidence in this battle. The Qing army claims to be unparalleled in horseback riding and shooting (Bah! When you entered the customs, you had more cannons than the Ming army, and when you fought Wu Sangui and Galdan, you even used artillery What kind of bow and horse wins the world?), has a reputation for being good at fighting.The Ming army, on the other hand, came prepared, taking advantage in terms of morale, numbers, technology, and even supplies.The troops of the two sides collided and used spears, broadswords, hatchets, tiger tooth knives and even tooth fists to solve the problem. At that moment, huge casualties occurred, and the officers of both sides brought their elite followers to kill them.

But this kind of collision obviously has to pay the biggest price for the Qing army.Jialazhangjing led his Bayara soldiers and house slave guards, jumped out of the long trench, and charged forward with weapons for a dozen steps. Only thirteen or four of the dozens of elites around him remained.

The second move offered by Fathead Fish, those short-fired guns played their role to the maximum at this juncture.The musketeers only aimed at the Qing army rushing forward with spears, halberds, knives and axes. At such a hand-to-hand combat distance, the shooting accuracy and armor-piercing ability were beyond doubt.And those grenadiers.Just throw the horsetail grenades over the heads of your own people and explode in the middle of the Qing army.

"If it doesn't kill you, it will scare you to death!"

In less than half a meal, half of the Jiala of the Zhengbai Banner had been destroyed, and the price paid by the Ming army fighting this Jiala was almost the same. Both sides used all their strength, In this small space, they also fought each other until the last quarter of an hour.

People from both sides bumped into each other to catch each other and fight each other.People fell down almost every moment, and Jialazhangjing didn't know how many Ming soldiers he had knocked down with the tiger tooth knife in his hand, nor did he know that he was left with huge wounds on his body by several Ming soldiers' weapons. The remaining consciousness in his mind was to tightly hold the handle of the Huya knife and fight to the death with the Ming army, throwing all his depression on the battlefield.

Just as he was about to kill, he heard an exclamation in his ears, it was the cry of his trusted servants, he lowered his head and looked in surprise, he didn't know when.Blood gushes out from the gap in the breastplate on the chest, appearing on the white armor under the breastplate.Looking again, there is a huge hole appearing under the right chest.Not far away, a gunner of the Ming army with a short-fired gun in his hand shouted happily: "I overthrew a high-ranking Tartar official!"

Jia Lazhangjing let go of his hand, and the tiger tooth knife in his hand fell to the ground, and his whole body fell down. When his body came into contact with the mud mixed with blood and body fluids on the ground.The last thought in my mind: "Is this death? Am I dying now?"

"The Tartars of Zhengbai Banner are down! The Tartars of Zhengbai Banner are down!"

The death of Jia Lazhangjing was undoubtedly the biggest blow to the morale of the Qing army present.Since the start of the war, although officers may be killed at any time, it is unprecedented that a Jialazhangjing was lost at the beginning of the fight.

As a result, some people were afraid of Dorgon's continuous sitting method, and fought forward desperately.Some of them were timid, looking around, and some simply ran along the traffic trench without knowing where they went.The Jiala of the Zhengbai Banner was no longer able to form an effective counterattack, under the tremendous pressure of the Ming army.Start stepping backwards.

He exhausted my surplus!

There was a burst of drumming, followed by shouts from the two wings of the Ming army formation, but it was Wu Sangui, who was in command of the central army, seeing that it was time for the Ming army to fight, so he ordered the replacement troops to step forward.

The arrival of this new force turned the retreat of the Qing army into a collapse.

After two rounds of gun salvo, the Ming and Qing armies directly entered into passionate hand-to-hand combat.The guerrillas of the Ming army who led the team waved their swords and shouted loudly: "Boys, Jialazhangjing, who killed the Tartars, has already gone down to drink and eat meat to get money! Don't be afraid of money biting your hands, don't be afraid of fat meat!" , let this general charge up..."

When did the Qing army see the Ming army rushing so desperately?After a short hand-to-hand fight, the remnants of Zhengbai Banner Jiala abandoned three or four hundred corpses and began to run backwards.As soon as they retreated, the Xiangbai Banner Jiala in the direction of Baitai Mountain, which was still struggling to support, was also driven into chaos. Jiala Zhangjing, the leader, repeatedly hacked to death three or four fleeing officers and soldiers. Rolled by the defeated soldiers, they ran towards Tashan!

The morale of the Ming army was greatly boosted, and the officers and soldiers shouted loudly almost at the same time: "Kill!"

Following the momentum of the Qing army's retreat, they pursued and killed them closely!

"Go! Go to the Hongluo Mountain camp to report the victory to the princess and the mother of this town! Say that the frontline position of the slave bandits has been breached by the sons!"

Wu Sangui ordered Wu Jingsi, the servant and general at his side, to hurry to the Hongluo Mountain camp to report the good news to Li Huamei.

Compared with Zhengbai Banner, which lost Jialazhangjing, Xiangbai Banner's retreat was quite orderly. At the very least, they continued to keep blocking teams in order to temporarily delay the Ming army's frenzied attack.But no matter how orderly the retreat is, it is just a retreat, especially when the shouts of killing Tartars for silver are all over the mountains and plains, it is the greatest damage to the morale of the Qing army.The Ming army is full of arrogance. When they have seen the goddess of victory beckoning to themselves, they use [-] points of strength to charge forward. This is a major feature of the Ming army, especially as long as they persist for two quarters of an hour!

When this group of retreating officers and soldiers with two white flags jumped into the second long trench, they realized that the enemy had already pursued them!

And waiting for them in front of them was the eldest son of Anping Belledudu, Du Erhu, Duke Fu, with a livid face and murderous looks all over his face!

As the eldest son of Du Du, he naturally knows the great favor owed by his father to the Dorgon brothers when he was in Jinan, and this great favor is also in the hands of the Dorgon brothers in the eyes of Du Du and his son. handle.Therefore, when the first line of defense showed signs of collapse, without waiting for Dorgon to speak, Du Du and his son volunteered to lead their troops to fight back against the Ming army!

"This group of slaves ran away and killed them all!"

Du Du relayed Dorgon's military order coldly, not only for the crying defeated soldiers with two white flags, but also for his soldiers and horses with red flags! (to be continued...)
