Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

At this time, the passionate singing of "Katyusha" is particularly contagious.Soon, all the soldiers of the Runing Battalion sang in unison.

We all know that people's motivation is particularly high when they work together.Along with the singing, the shooting of the firecrackers seems to be in rhythm, as if they are beating the beat for the singing.

Immediately, the morale of the Runing Battalion was even higher, and the coalition soldiers behind the Runing Battalion, although they couldn't learn to sing "Katyusha" for a while, they still cheered to the beat.The morale of the rebels was also knocked down a lot.

At this time, the rebels, who saw something bad before their eyes, also separated a cavalry unit of more than 200 from the cavalry besieging the Liaodong Army, and charged towards the left wing of the Runing Battalion.

This team of cavalry did not come to attack the car formation, they wanted to eliminate the soldiers of the Runing Battalion who were exposed outside the car formation, and once again hindered the advance of the car formation.And when they saw their own cavalry dispatched, there were [-] to [-] rebel infantry, and they did not shoot at the Runing Battalion at a long distance. They charged with their own cavalry.

The soldiers of the Runing Battalion who came out of the chariot formation did not bring any long weapons at all, so once they were approached by rebel cavalry and infantry, they would completely lose their resistance.

So the soldiers who carried the corpses immediately hid behind the chariot formation under the command of their captain.However, the gunners commanded by Yu Ji were too far away from the chariot formation, and they had already run about fifty steps away from the chariot formation.It was too late to run back.

Seeing this situation, Yu Ji and the others also became ruthless in their hearts. They simply stopped running. Facing the approach of the rebels, they continued firing firecrackers row by row, preparing to kill one and earn another.

This mixed army of the rebels swept from right to left from a distance of fifty steps in front of the chariot formation.They are also prepared to make some sacrifices.Enduring the gunshots from the back of the cart is to wipe out all of Yu Ji's gunners.

Although Yu Ji's musket fire was fierce, the number of rebels was too many. Soon, the rebels rushed to a place only about [-] steps away from Yu Ji.At this time, Yu Jilian could clearly see the facial features on the face of the rebel vanguard cavalry.

"Am I going to die in this place?" At this moment, Yu Ji had this thought in his mind.As for the rolling car formation, it seemed that they couldn't bear to see such a tragedy, so they stopped singing, and there was rarely any sound of artillery and firecrackers firing.

But suddenly, there was a sound of gunpowder burning in the car formation.It was the Runing Camp who set fire to all the fifty swarms brought out this time.

All of a sudden, five thousand rockets spewed out from behind the chariot formation, and the overwhelming arrows, like a swarm of bees, rushed towards the charging rebels.

It was too late to even scream.A large number of rebels and their horses were shot down to the ground by sudden rockets.This team of rebels was completely stunned by the rocket attack.

Narrow escape!Yu Ji came out of despair all of a sudden, he waved his waist knife.Hoarsely shouted: "Keep shooting!" However, some gunners were still immersed in despair and surprise.So in this volley, only half of the gunners fired the guns in their hands.

But this volley also became the last straw that crushed the rebels. The rebels who survived by chance turned around and fled, never daring to approach the cart formation again.

The troops guarding Zhu Dadian, after leaving 1000 troops to still guard the Chinese army.It was also dispatched earlier.They waved their butcher knives at the soldiers of the Ming army fleeing from the middle, forcing them to turn around and fight.

And those Ming soldiers who turned around to fight saw the coalition forces attacking, and gradually regained their courage to fight.Wait until you hear the singing and cheers of "Katyusha" from the coalition forces.Their morale also rose, and they took the initiative to fight the chasing rebels.

And this move also reduced the pressure on the left wing of the coalition forces in a disguised form, so that the rebels could not deploy too many soldiers to attack the left wing of the coalition forces.

At this time, the Liaodong Army also ignored the grievances with the coalition forces.They also judged the situation very well. Seeing the counterattack of the coalition forces, they immediately changed from defense to offense, actively biting the rebels who besieged them, so that these rebels could not attack the right wing of the coalition forces.The situation on the battlefield suddenly improved a lot.

It is very interesting that in today's battle, the rebels used chariot formations to ambush, while the coalition forces also used chariot formations; the rebels counterattacked immediately after the ambush, while the coalition forces also used chariot formations Immediately attack; the rebel firearms and rockets have exerted great power, and the Runing Battalion has also shown the rebels their own firearms and rockets.The two sides are completely like performing an imitation show.

And we also know that the rocket launch is completely inaccurate, so it is inevitable that several gunners from the Runing Battalion were also shot down by the rockets.But this kind of accidental injury has been ignored.The morale-boosting gunners continued to pour bullets under the leadership of Yu Ji.The surrounding rebels hid even further.

The soldiers who came out of the chariot formation obviously accelerated the speed of carrying the corpses.The interference from the surrounding rebels just now inevitably affected the work of these soldiers, but now they can also concentrate on clearing the road.

Soon, Yu Ji's firecracker team came to the top of the slope, and suddenly they stopped. Several firecrackers ran back to the car formation under Yu Ji's order, and Yu Ji led the other firecrackers Continue to observe at the top of the slope.

Wu Shigong immediately stepped forward and came to Zhou Xun and Yang Rusong's side, welcoming the return of the gunners.The person in front took a deep breath, and began to report concisely to Wu Shigong: "My lord, there is a car formation of rebels about 150 steps behind the slope. It is estimated that there are three to four hundred carts."

"The chariot formation is arranged in an arc, and there are no rebel soldiers between the chariot formation and the top of the slope. There are no ditches or repelling horses in front of the chariot formation. It is unclear how many rebels are behind the chariot formation. The report is over!"

This kind of standard military terminology was also advocated by the Runing Battalion, but there was a reason why the musketeer reported it so clearly.Because the offensive and defensive battle of this car formation is the regular training item of the mobile battalion.So Wu Shigong, Zhou Xun, and Yang Rusong couldn't help laughing when they heard that their Runing Battalion was about to engage in a familiar battle.

Indeed, the Runing Battalion has been conducting offensive and defensive training of the vehicle formation.Especially in the face of the stinky and shameless book and ink defense, any officer of the Runing Battalion has a few tricks to break the car formation.

And I also know that the rebel chariot formation is the simplest long snake formation, and there is no depth, and there are no trenches and horse rejections in front.Why doesn't this make the officers of the Runing Battalion elated?

Wu Shigong immediately followed the usual training arrangement of the Runing Battalion and said: "After passing the top of the slope, move forward and stop twenty steps. Liang Hui, your artillery team is ready. As soon as we stop, you will fire and destroy the traitor's car." Open a hole."

"Then everyone drove at full speed behind the first row of carts. Pay attention, there is a problem, there are too many corpses on the ground. If any cart can't move, just leave that cart and leave it alone gone."

"The people behind the second row of carts are gathered behind the first row of carts to strengthen their manpower. As long as you push to the gap in the cart formation, Rusong, you lead the guards and rush in first. Zhou Xun, you take the gunners Take cover from behind."

"Also!" Wu Shigong said to a soldier beside him, "Go to the back and tell Chen Dusi, Li Bazong, and Deputy General Liu to let them follow our Runing camp closely. When our Runing camp breaks through the gap , Let them press on immediately and completely break up the car formation."

"Okay! Let's go get ready." Wu Shigong finally said.

At this time, Liang Hui asked, "My lord, I saw that it was better for the artillery team of the government army to divide the artillery into two shots. Can our artillery team do this later?"

Wu Shigong waved his hand and said: "The specific matters of the artillery team are all arranged by you, the commander. However, no matter whether you fire the artillery once or twice, the most important thing is to open the gap in the traitor's vehicle formation."

After arranging all this, the soldiers of the Runing Battalion held their breath, preparing for the upcoming battle.

Soon, the carts in the first row stopped five or six steps away from the top of the slope.In fact, starting from Runing Camp, the distance to the top of the slope is not long, which is about 350 steps, which is about 350 meters in modern measurement units.Although Runing Camp walked slowly, according to modern terms, it only took more than ten minutes to walk these roads.This is why the rebels did not gather more troops to stop the Runing Battalion from moving forward.

Yu Ji's gunners all returned to the back of the carts, but the second row of carts was thrown down, and the soldiers behind crowded into the back of the first row of carts.Several officers leading the team raised their arms to Wu Shigong one after another, signaling that their troops were ready.

Seeing that all the troops were ready, Wu Shigong waved his hand vigorously, and the soldiers of the Runing Battalion shouted fiercely, pushing the cart over the top of the slope.

Zhu Dadian, who was on the watchtower at the back, saw the vanguard of the coalition army rushing up the slope again.He also immediately went down from the watchtower, mounted his horse, and led the remaining [-] guards forward.Zhu Dadian did not leave any escape route for himself.If Kong Youde's rebel army is not defeated today, Zhu Dadian is not going to go back.But Gao Qiqian saw Zhu Dadian's actions, and after hesitating for a while, he pulled up his horse and followed Zhu Dadian's footsteps.

At this time, the soldiers in the rebel chariot formation were still relaxed.They were obscured by the gentle slope, unaware that the tide of battle had been turned.When they heard a shout from the back of the slope, and then saw a row of black carts appearing on the top of the slope, for a moment or three quarters, they thought they were dazzled.
