Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Leaving aside the deployment of the main forces of the two armies for the time being, let's first look at the hill occupied by Shumo!

Although the commanders of the two armies ignored the hill occupied by Shumo, at this moment, a fierce battle suddenly broke out on the hill.

When Zhang Liang's Han army banner soldiers and North Korean musketeers relied on the cover of bushes and rocks to reach the top of the mountain in the form of skirmishers, they did achieve miraculous results, and the Qing army was getting closer and closer to Shumo's troops on the top of the mountain.

After all, there was only half the night, and the Shumo Department could not completely clean up the shrubs and weeds on the mountain, so they gave these Qing soldiers a lot of hiding places.

Although the volley of gunfire from the Runing Army still caused a large number of casualties to the Qing soldiers, but because the Qing troops were distributed relatively scattered, the casualties were all independent, so the deterrence of these Qing soldiers was also reduced a lot, allowing them to fight on their own. I feel that the threat of firecrackers is also much smaller.Therefore, these Qing troops were able to endure such casualties and still advance.

Watching his soldiers gradually approaching the top of the mountain, Zhang Liang, who was watching the battle at the foot of the mountain, was also quite excited.In his opinion, as long as his soldiers get closer, endure a round of fire from the firecrackers, and rush into the Ming army on the mountain in one go, those Ming troops who only have the courage to set firearms in the distance will definitely collapse of.

But at this moment, the Runing Army on the top of the mountain suddenly stopped firing the firecrackers.These gunners all retreated to the back of the mountain, and then the six one-pound guns fired a shotgun volley. Although the effect of the shotgun volley was not very good this time, it crushed the Qing soldiers who rushed to the front. on the ground.

Immediately afterwards, a team of Runing Army emerged from the top of the mountain. There were four hundred of them, and they were arranged in a square formation of twenty by twenty. After a cry, the formation rushed down to the foot of the mountain.

And among the soldiers of the Runing Army.At least nearly a hundred soldiers were wearing armor.This armor is not leather armor or cotton armor, it is all iron armor.Moreover, this iron armor is not like Daming's ring-arm iron armor or scale armor. It looks like an iron barrel made of several pieces of iron sheets. It looks very strong. Those soldiers wear helmets on their heads. The helmet also appears to be iron.The whole appearance of a steel warrior.This kind of defense is chilling to look at, what else is there to fight?

Of course, Shumo didn't think that the hill could be defended only by firearms. He had long ago divided the [-] spearmen and axemen into two teams, led by the chief and deputy commanders of the infantry regiment.It is to be prepared to countercharge at such a time.

This time, the deputy of the infantry regiment led the team. Standing in the right front corner of the phalanx, he raised the ax and spear in his hand and shouted vigorously: "Brothers, go!" Then the whole phalanx trotted.He rushed down towards the foot of the mountain.While running, the soldiers were still shouting in unison.This actually served as a drumbeat in wartime.However, it also added an awe-inspiring aura to this small phalanx.

And those Han army flags and North Korean gunners never expected that the Runing Army would take the initiative to attack.Even the counter fire guns didn't fire a few shots, because most of these people were still lying on the ground.When those people just reacted, the phalanx of the Runing Army had already charged into the formation of the Qing Army.

Therefore, success also disperses soldiers, and defeat also disperses soldiers.The Han army flag and the North Korean gunners simply couldn't form a formation to resist, facing the Qing soldiers in the phalanx.Facing at least seven or eight gunpoints, needless to say resisting, they couldn't even escape, because the speed of the Runing Army's charge from top to bottom was too fast.

Some nearby North Korean musketeers could still fire a few shots.But if a volley cannot be formed, the power of the firecracker is negligible.Besides, the Runing army in the first few rows were all wearing iron armor. As long as they lowered their heads and heard a "clinking" sound, they were basically safe and sound.

When the Qing army saw that the shooting was ineffective, they panicked even more, and they didn't know who was the first to shout: "Run!" Then all the Qing soldiers also fled to the foot of the mountain.

But this kind of escape can't increase the speed at all.Not to mention that it takes some time to turn around and escape, there are only a few roads up the mountain, and most of these Qing soldiers chose these convenient escape roads, so they were crowded together.

Dozens of spears immediately stabbed the backs of those who ran last.Some desperate Qing soldiers began to wave their weapons, ready to turn around and fight desperately, but they couldn't make complete movements during the squeeze, and there were already several blood holes in their chests and abdomens.

The assassination of the soldiers of the Runing Army is so easy. They are performing standard assassination movements. All of them move their arms very well, and they will not move more than half a foot back and forth. This kind of assassination has guaranteed to go deep into the enemy's vital points. And it can be easily pulled out for assassination.

Some Qing soldiers were lucky enough to escape the spears in the first row, but there were also spears in the second and third rows. Among these voices, the loudest one is the rhythmic sound of the Runing Army shouting.Some Qing soldiers couldn't hold on anymore, and they began to use knives to clear the way. This kind of cannibalism also made the fleeing Qing army even more chaotic.

But the biggest casualty was not the front of the phalanx.The soldiers of the Runing Army on both sides of the phalanx held axes, spears and waist knives, slashing and killing on both sides.Many clever Qing soldiers saw the phalanx rushing down like a torrent, and they all jumped to the side of the road to avoid it, but at this time, they were all facing the phalanx with their backs or sides, unable to make any fighting moves at all. That's why he was slashed and killed by the Runing army with blood spattering.Totally a massacre.

In this situation, the spearmen in front are like drills, desperately trying to drill the Qing army away, while the ax gunners and swordmen behind are like flying knife wheels, constantly flying, trying to drill open the wound. torn.

After hacking like this for a while, it finally exceeded the limit of the Qing army. As if someone was issuing an order, the remaining Qing army suddenly exploded in all directions, and everyone dropped their weapons and ran away, jumping into the road. In the bushes next to him, no one was willing to fight the Runing Army any more.

……

When Zhang Liang looked at his troops at the foot of the mountain and fled down the mountain, he was dumbfounded by the sudden change.Until the phalanx of the Runing Army rushed to about twenty steps in front of the scull wall, he did not issue any order to resist.

It wasn't until the Runing Army stopped in a demonstration, and a dozen gunners stood up and fired a salvo at the wall of the scull cart, that Zhang Liang woke up from the pain of being thrown to the ground by the soldiers.

"Fire the firecrackers! Fight them back!" Zhang Liang, who was lying on the ground, issued an order hastily.

But at this time, the phalanx of the Runing Army had already turned around under the order of the regimental deputy, and swaggered back to the top of the mountain. (To be continued..)
