The Battle of Tashan, which attracted the attention of all parties in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, was like a magnificent symphony, which came to an abrupt end when it reached the most exciting part of the cadenza. ▲∴, everyone was surprised and at a loss.

As the troops directly under Li Shouhan, the commander-in-chief of the Southern Guangdong Army, the Guards Brigade, like the Phoenix Battalion and Dongfan soldiers, belonged to the Li family system and was only loyal to Li Shouhan himself.Unlike those troops, the Guards Brigade was very crazy and proud.

Whether mad or arrogant, the Guards Brigade has its reasons.As the core of the entire Southern Guangdong Army, whenever there is a big battle, when the battle is stalemate and it is difficult to break through, or when there is a fleeting opportunity on the battlefield, the defenders will often take the Guards Brigade up.Let them open the way to victory for the whole army.

With so many records like this, how can the Guards Brigade not be crazy?Not proud?

And equally arrogant, are the four battalions of the Navy's land battalion.The four battalions led by Shi Lang have carried out the fighting style of the Xuanwu battalion back then. Their slogan is "If you don't enter, you die!" In side battle, or landing against the enemy's artillery fire, how can you retreat with a little timidity?As long as one retreats, it will be the end of defeat.

Such two troops attacked from Hongluo Mountain to defend the two white flags and four Jiala's coated firecrackers in the direction of Baitai Mountain, and they were in danger!

Unlike the side branches like the Model Brigade, the Guan Ning Army, which has secretly learned some tricks, is different from the Shanzhai version of the troops. As the elite Guards Brigade of the entire Southern Guangdong Army, the Marine Division and Land Battalion, they are more proficient in the tactics of the Southern Guangdong Army. more stringent.The degree of integration between people, weapons in hand, and army tactics is more closely combined, and the terrifying combat effectiveness is exerted to the maximum extent.

According to the traditional tactics of the Southern Guangdong Army, the artillery first sorted out the formation of the coated soldiers with shells, and then a hundred or so shells rampaged unscrupulously in the line of coated Jiala placed on the southernmost side.The Marine Army started to use the big battalion as a unit, set up an offensive formation, and slowly stepped forward to use projectiles and bayonets to teach the coaters on the opposite side how to use firecrackers!

Nearly 300 people were killed on the spot by the intensive artillery shells, and another [-] were injured. The coated soldiers and musketeers had not had time to set off under the shouting orders of officers at all levels.The lead bullets from the navy's land battalion came head-on.

According to the "Heaven, Earth, Xuanhuang, Universe, Great Desolation" sorted according to the thousand-character text, the navy and land camps are ranked first, and the Tianzi camp is at the forefront.According to the shooting formation, the battalion of nearly a thousand people lined up in two rows, almost chasing the ballistic trajectory of the shells and running towards the formation of the coated soldiers in small steps.

Originally, there were dozens of heavy cannons at the Baoyi soldiers, but the so-called heavy cannons in the mouth of the Liaodong rebels were of course not the cron cannons of the Southern Guangdong Army that fired tens of catties, let alone the mortars that fired heavy shells of more than one hundred catties , but under twelve pounds.Field guns, mostly eight-pound guns.But even these artillery teams were transferred by Duduo for nearly half of them, and went to the front of the Tashan defense line to strengthen the firepower there, leaving nothing but small six-pound guns for the coated soldiers.

Without the artillery to provide fire support for me, seeing the authentic Southern Guangdong army on the opposite side rushing towards me like a raging sea, I couldn't help but make these coated soldiers who were already worried If it weren't for the Manchu masters next to them holding sharp sabers and leather whips woven from raw cowhide, they were desperately holding down the ground.I'm afraid that someone will re-display their housekeeping skills in the Ming army and turn around and run away.

The permafrost and smoke blown up by the shells have not completely dissipated.Those Southern Cantonese troops had already rushed to the front of the coated soldiers and musketeers.

"Raise the gun!"

Seeing that the Southern Guangdong Army is less than [-] steps away from me and has no intention of stopping, the two or three of Jiala's Niu Lu Zhang Jing Guohan's eldest son Hai Ertu and Wei Qi's sons Zhuobutai and Baha (these two guys) Their surname is Guerjia, they are not very famous, but their uncle Fei Yingdong was the earliest member of the team who followed Nurhachi in the rebellion. The two of them also had a brother, who was already known as the No. [-] Batulu in Manchuria at this time Oboi.) They couldn't help being overjoyed, and exchanged glances with each other.Immediately, he ordered his subordinates to lay down the tiger and open the mountain, ready to meet the enemy!

Most of the firecrackers equipped by these coated soldiers were made by Chen Banda according to the style of the Southern Guangdong Army firecrackers captured by Dorgon. The barrels are black and thick, with flint hair style.Use the same verdigris gunpowder as the propellant.Except that there is no spring and the misfire rate is high, it is almost the same as the firecrackers of the Southern Guangdong Army. (Because Chen Banda’s carefully crafted flintlock has no spring as a booster, the misfire rate is basically maintained at about [-] or [-]%, while the authentic Nanyue Army fire blunderbuss has a misfire rate of only [-]%.)

Following Haiertu's command, the six or seven hundred musketeers of the three bullshits strictly followed the formation of the crouching tiger formation, pulling the trigger one after another to fire, and the smoke of gunpowder burning quickly diffused and condensed into a similar solid above their heads. , The sound of gunshots coming and going from all directions made them unable to hear their own gunshots.From time to time in the field of vision, there was a little scarlet fire flickering and jumping in the smoke, followed by the muffled groans and the sound of people falling to the ground from the Nanyue army on the opposite side.

Rao Zhubutai was born in the Guarjia family, and he was usually arrogant and brave under the influence of his brother Oboi, but now he asked himself, but he couldn't charge against the bullets flying around under the enemy's heavy bullet rain.

Finally, the sound of orderly and heavy footsteps stopped, and there was a voice of a command that Haiertu and Zhuobutai could not understand from the queue, and the dense firecrackers were lifted up by the soldiers of the navy and land battalion, and the densely packed firecrackers The guns, as well as the three-edged sleeves on the barrels, and the eight-petal caps and iron pointed helmets of the gunmen, glistened in the rising sun.

"Fire!"

Following the command that Haiertu and the others could understand, two rows of gunfire soldiers fired at the same time with nearly a thousand firecrackers, and a puff of smoke that was several times thicker than that of the coated soldiers' shots just now rose above the formation of the Tianzi Battalion. .

Unlike the crouching tigers who took turns to shoot forward to make continuous firepower, the Nanyue Army's queuing and concentrated fire shooting pursued to cause the greatest lethal effect in the shortest time.Only a row of guns passed by, and within a distance of more than 20 steps, six or seven small square formations were formed. The coated soldiers who came forward to fire guns repeatedly like spinning wheels rolled all over the ground, making painful howls that only wild animals can make when they are dying. Call.

In the flames of the gunlight.In the formation of the wrapped soldiers who had just lined up neatly, corpses and wounded were strewn all over the ground. The hot blood melted the snow beneath them, and the withered yellow weeds and gravel were dyed blood red in pools.

Hai Ertu, who followed Laozi Guohan after entering the customs, participated in the defeat of He Zhen's troops of the peasant army.Breaking through the battle of Yuan Tao's troops, he became Meile Erzhen and the Minister of the Household Department of the Han Army of the Xianglan Banner, and was immediately promoted to the successor of the Manchu nobles in Gushan Ezhen of the Banner. He was also hit by several lead bullets flying over The face, smashing the head to pieces.Hai Ertu, who inherited the third-class marquis in history and followed Dingxi General Belle Dong'e to conquer the Northwest King's army, died incompletely.He never died in the military camp that conquered Yunnan, Guizhou and Wu Sangui, but he died on the Liaodong battlefield decades earlier.

Dorgon, who was about to go mad by Xia Shu's furious attack from behind and the situation where the Ming army surrounded Duo Duo in the front, received a series of bad news in Tashan Fort.

"Baoyi Jiala Fifth Niuluzhang Jinghaiertu died in battle!"

"Coated Ninth Niu Luzhang Jingzhuobutai was seriously injured and fell off his horse!"

"Baoyi Jiala, the tenth Niulu, Baha's entire army is gone! Baha Zhangjing is seriously injured and unconscious!"

"Baoyi Jialazhang Jingaixing Azhong Gun died in battle! The second Jiala's entire army is gone. Only dozens of people escaped!"

The news of the deaths and serious injuries of many young Manchurian nobles flew to Dorgon like snowflakes, and he was so angry that he kicked the table over.In particular, the death of Lazhang Jingai Xing'a, the second coat armor, annoyed him even more.This guy who was born in the Zhenghuang Banner of Manchuria was also sent by Huang Taiji to mix sand.His own ability is nothing, but he has a good ancestor, who is the grandson of Yang Guli.He is also a powerful and deep-rooted figure among the Manchu nobles.Now, under the attack of the Nanyue Army, he was beaten to pieces!

"Who is in command over there now?"

"If you go back to the lord, it's me, Jialazhangjing Zhuolo, who is Zhengbaiqi!"

Zhuo Luo is also an effective subordinate who has followed Dorgon in the north and south for many years.He is also a person who once fought head-to-head with Li Shouhan in Jinan.

Zhuo Luo, Manchuria Zhengbai Banner.Badu Lizi also.Zhuo Luo attacked the third-class lieutenant general and concurrently served as Niu Lu Ezhen.In the third year of Chongde, Yang Yongsheng, the eunuch of the Ming Dynasty, went to fight against Ming and Bo Mingdu, and Zhuo Luo defeated him with 300 men.Then he entered Shandong.In the siege of Jinzhou, he made a lot of contributions in many battles with the Ming army under Hong Chengchou, and was promoted by Dorgon to Jialazhangjing.

In history, even after entering the customs, as Zhengbai Banner Meilezhangjing, he followed the general Shuncheng County King Leke Dehun to Huguang to defeat Li Zicheng's troops.Later, he sent reinforcements to Gongshun Wang Kong Youde to go south to Hunan, defeated the generals Wang Jincai, Xu Songjie and other troops of King Gui, and conquered Changsha.King Gui was forced to go south to Guilin.Later, in Jingzhou, together with Alzin, he fought with Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo, Bai Wenxuan and others from Lizhou, Changde and Chenzhou.It is expected that Changsha will descend, and Zhang Dingguo, Bai Wenxuan and others will enter Yunnan from King Gui of Ming Dynasty.

This is a person who fought from Liaodong to Burma and together with Wu Sangui captured King Gui and defeated the last Ming army in the southwest. For this person, Dorgon was very let go.

"Go and tell Zhuo Luo that slave! This king now promotes him to Merezhangjing to lead the rest of the troops! Be sure to block the Southern Guangdong Army!"

At least wait until Cao Zhenyan, who has dealt with Xia Shu's Ming army in the north, returns!Dorgon was secretly worried, he wondered if Zhuo Luo could withstand the onslaught of Li Huamei, the most powerful army.

In fact, Zhuo Luo's life was several times more difficult than Dorgon imagined!

Since the navy and land battalion began to attack, with the assistance of artillery, they often took the lead with a round of artillery shells. Minced meat was flying everywhere, and when thick smoke and fire flashed in front of people's eyes, the troops of Xuanziying, Huangziying, and Yuziying rushed forward one after another.

The killing and wounding brought by the artillery shells to the Qing army has not completely stopped, and the firecrackers quickly took over.Before the coated soldiers had time to line up, they had to meet the lead bullets fired at close range.

"kill!"

After a round of close-in shooting, the spear that had already been primed found its target again.The coated soldiers, who were constantly attacked by the pattern renovation, were defeated one after another in the face of such pressure.In a blink of an eye, the two Jiala's troops became corpses lying on the road from Hongluo Mountain to Baitai Mountain.

These coated soldiers from the Ming army, although they became the coated soldiers of the Qing army, they had much stricter training and discipline than the Ming army, and their food and salary supply far exceeded that of the Ming army, and they were divided into fields and houses. .If the performance is excellent during training, there will be rewards.Their combat effectiveness and fighting will far surpassed those of the Ming army, but their courage, will, and discipline have not yet reached the level where they can shoot firecrackers at the enemy at a distance of twenty steps.

In particular, the two Jiala in the front were defeated in one encounter. Seventy to eighty percent of the troops were smashed into a sieve by the projectiles and thorns, which made the army's morale fluctuate. Some people's hands holding the blunderbuss were already trembling. .

now.The troops rushing from the opposite side were even more ferocious. They were the Guards Brigade, known as the champion of the Southern Guangdong Army.

At this time, Lu Yunsheng, who replaced Mo Yu in commanding the entire guard brigade, briefly explained to Shi Lang, then ordered the infantry to get out of the way, and asked the brothers of the navy to go down to rest and protect the eldest lady.

"Brothers, the brothers of the Navy have done a good job ahead of us! We can't lose face! That is Tashanbao, the old den of the slave chief Dorgon! Follow me and kill the group of dogs blocking the way! Go to Tashanbao and capture Dorgon alive!"

"Go to Tashan Fort and capture Dorgon alive!"

It is different from the camp phalanx of the navy and land battalion.The three standard men and horses of the Guards Brigade all spread out, spreading out an extremely wide front, faintly sandwiching the remaining less than three armored soldiers from the three sides.

"Our Southern Guangdong Army has always been known for fighting with firearms. How dare this group of thieves sell the Analects of Confucius in front of the saints!"

Lu Yunsheng cursed, the enemy army in front of him has already formed a dense group under Zhuo Luo's command.Abandoning the style of attacking the tiger and opening the mountain, the whole army shrank.The firecrackers were mixed with three-pounders and six-pounders, like a huge porcupine with its spikes spread out.

Thick smoke and flames flickered from time to time, and the sound of artillery was loud.When the firecrackers confront each other, the artillery of both sides is also caught in the formation, and they use shotguns to bombard the opponent's infantry.

Lu Yunsheng mobilized more than a hundred artillery pieces.Divided into four artillery groups, they bombarded the Qing army positions in turn.Zhuo Luo over there also became ruthless, and ordered the soldiers to keep rubbing up the snow and muddy water on the ground regardless of the possible accidents caused by the continuous firing of the artillery.Cool down the barrel.

The two sides lined up artillery within a distance of less than [-] steps to bombard each other, and continued to bombard and stab hand-to-hand with cattle and battalions during the pause of the artillery.At this distance, the artillery basically does not need to adjust the angle of the barrel, just align the muzzle direction, and then load the shells and blast!

In terms of starting artillery coordination, in the entire civilized world at this time, I am afraid that there is no army that can use the connection between artillery and infantry as proficiently as the Southern Guangdong Army.After several rounds of artillery fire, Zhuo Luo couldn't hold on anymore.

Beside him, Dould and Axixi, who acted as Jiala Zhangjing, swung their knives to supervise the battle, and together with the white armored soldiers, they drove the somewhat timid and wavering firecrackers back to the front.However, in the face of intensive artillery fire and huge casualties, there are more and more vacillating gunfire soldiers, which makes the two Jia Lazhangjing feel a little powerless.

Suddenly, a shell flew over and landed right next to Axixi, the Manchurian red flag also from the Guerjia family. The heavy solid bullet jumped rapidly on the hard ground, and the huge impact was instantly dispelled. He beat one of Axixi's thighs until he didn't know where it went.Where the blood gushed out, A Xixi let out a brief scream, and immediately fell down.

Seeing the miserable state of A Xixi, the dozens of wrapped soldiers around him screamed and wanted to run away!But he was rushed up by Dould, with a knife in his hand, he chopped off the head of a wrapped soldier who was closest to him, and let the blood spurted from his neck splash on his head and face, his face was covered with blood, almost Dould, who couldn't distinguish the facial features, looked ferocious, and shouted sharply: "Anyone who dares to retreat, beheaded immediately!"

Retreating is death, but if you stand firmly here, you may not die immediately.The faces of the coated soldiers were distorted in panic, desperate, and they burst out with strong morale.

"Kill the dog!"

"Prince Rui's master has an order! Kill those who are above the rank of the Nanman army, and raise them to be Manchuria with two white flags! Promote them to be powerful!"

Dould saw that the coated soldiers were fighting with the soldiers and horses of the Guards Brigade with their javelins in their hands, so he dared to offer another heavy reward to the coated soldiers. As for whether they can honor it, it depends on the Can he and this group of wrapped soldiers survive the war?

However, this immoral trick of An Feiyang's grandson also inspired the greed and cruelty in the blood of the coated soldiers, desperately using bludgeon stabs, blunderbuss butts, waist knives, artillery and guard brigades to attack repeatedly.

Among them, under Duoduo, he served as the governor of Baya Latiao Zhangjing, accompanied Duoduo to fight in Shanzhou and break through Tongguan, and chased Zhu Yousong, the king of blessings, to Wuhu. Zhang Jing Azigni was able to attack Tingzhou, and Dould, who broke the Tang Dynasty Wang Yujian, led more than a hundred white armored soldiers to act as the main force in hand-to-hand combat. Fighting with the blunderbuss, trading human life for time.

"Master Zhuo Luo! Lang Zhangjing died in battle!"

Zhuo Luo had just exchanged the long knife from a dead officer for his own, but heard the news that another officer had died in battle.Niu Luzhang Jinglang Tingzuo, who was defending the left wing, died. His Niu Lu was responsible for guarding the road leading to Tashan Fort. The death of this man shows that the road to Tashan has been opened by the Ming army!

Cheers began to ring out among the Ming army!

A huge handsome flag began to move in this direction! (To be continued..)
