Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 673 Procrastination

Seeing the phalanx leave, Zhang Liang was extremely frustrated, how can such a battle be fought?Long-range firearms are not good, and they must always be on guard against counter-charges. Up to now, there have been more than 400 casualties on their own side, but the Ming army on the opposite side has almost no injuries.If you really want to capture the hill, you don't know how many lives will be taken.

But at this moment, there was a loud noise from the southwest of the hill, and that was when the artillery array of the Runing Army began to "plow the ground".Due to the angle of view, Zhang Liang couldn't observe the situation there, so he thought that the reinforcements from the Runing Army to rescue Xiaoshan had arrived, and they were fighting fiercely with Liu Shun's troops.

This immediately made Zhang Liang feel a sense of crisis.Obviously, he had to capture this hill before the reinforcements arrived, otherwise, not to mention that the difficulty of attacking the mountain would be multiplied, but if the attack was unsuccessful, Prince Rui would definitely not show mercy in using military methods to deal with him.Although the reward for attacking the mountain is great, the risk is also great!

So Zhang Liang immediately deployed: keep the stragglers going up the mountain according to the original plan, and when the phalanx of the Runing Army attacked, all the stragglers retreated, and then ambushed North Korean musketeers on both sides of the road on the mountainside, shooting The Runing Army soldiers on both sides and rear of the phalanx without heavy armor used this to consume the strength of the Runing Army, and then counterattacked and attacked the mountain.

Zhang Liang's first move was quite successful.The Runing Army did not see through Zhang Liang's trick, but this time it was the four hundred soldiers led by the head of the infantry regiment who charged back.But when he rushed to the mountainside, he was immediately besieged by North Korean musketeers and Han flag soldiers who were ambushing here.

Although North Korea's firecrackers are less powerful, they are capable of killing enough at such a short distance.In addition, there are bows and arrows, throwing axes and javelins of Han army flag soldiers.It immediately caused a large number of casualties in the Runing Army phalanx, and even the head of the infantry regiment was killed.

If you don't see the situation is wrong.Shumo ordered the deputy head's phalanx to rush down to rescue, maybe the head's phalanx was about to fall into a tight siege and the whole army was wiped out.But even so, nearly 200 people were killed or injured in the counterattack of the Runing Army this time.

But Zhang Liang's opportunity to counterattack did not succeed.The Book and Ink Department could not clean up the entire hill, but they could always clean up the open space in front of the artillery reasonably. Under the continuous bombardment of gunfire and cannonballs, they finally brought back the infantry phalanx rushing down the mountain, and also stopped the Han army flag from attacking. And the counterattack of North Korean gunners.

On the face of it.This battle seemed to be a draw, but in fact, the personnel of the Runing Army could not withstand such consumption, and their counterattack was once ambushed by the Qing Army, so in the next battle, Runing Army The army fought a little timidly. [

So the Qing army took the opportunity to attack, and first entered the place fifty steps ahead of the Runing army.Formed a front, and transferred the main force here, and first used the superiority in numbers to prevent the countercharge of the Runing Army.

Then, the firearms of both sides began to fight.After this fierce war with hot weapons lasted for quite a while, the casualties on both sides were not large, but the firecrackers and artillery had problems one after another.The scrap rate of firecrackers is constantly increasing.The artillery of the Runing Army also stopped firing and began to cool down, otherwise it would explode.

Although the quality of the firearms of the Runing Army is relatively high, after all, the North Korean firecrackers have a lot of firecrackers, and there are bows and arrows supplemented by the Han army flag.So the two sides still maintain a balance of power.However, the attack density of this long-range weapon has gradually decreased.

Seeing the scene of flying arrows and sticks, they could no longer stop the charge.The two sides are about to start a brutal hand-to-hand battle, and the battle advantage on the hill is gradually tilting to the Qing army.

What's more interesting is that on this secondary battlefield that was abandoned by the commanders of both sides, it first reached the climax of the battle.If Shumo and Zhang Liang knew about this situation, would they still work so hard?Life is Naido!

And the advance of the Runing Army's middle road and the phalanx on the west side immediately made Dorgon calm down.He hurriedly called a few soldiers, and hurriedly ordered: "Go to the artillery team quickly and have a look, you just stay there and watch, and give them another incense stick, if the general's artillery has not been fired, Alright, cut off the commander of the artillery team and bring up the deputy commander! The gun mount is ready, come back and report immediately!"

"twitter!"

"Go to Mazhali in the middle road and ask him to gather his troops and horses to charge immediately. Don't hold back, the Ming army that can crush the middle road is the best. If you can't, keep the Ming army where it is!"

"twitter!"

"Go to Quangui on the west side and ask him to get ready. If Mazari's charge fails, wait for the king's order to let him continue to charge. Be careful! It's just to delay the time."

"Go to the east side and bring all the soldiers and horses of Ji Lang'a and Tan Tu."

"twitter!"

"Tubeli! Go to our Eight Banners quickly, and wait for the king's order at any time!"

"twitter!"

Dorgon had already put all his eggs in one basket, and he actually used the most taboo tactic of refueling, which was to keep the Runing army in place, waiting for the bombardment of the general's artillery. [

Dorgon has already thought clearly that he is racing against time.If he can catch up, he will concentrate the main force of the Qing army to rush forward, and the victory of today will be determined in one battle.If it is really too late, he has already gathered the whole army, and he is ready to retreat and recuperate.No matter how you say it, you can't be hot-headed, and you have to face reality.Even if you admit today's defeat, you can still fight again after tomorrow's rest!

Seeing the great mobilization of the Qing army, He Fei immediately became excited.As expected, I was right in my judgment. As long as the Runing Army moves forward, the Qing Army will take the initiative to attack.Now it depends on whether it is the spear power of the Qing army or the shield strength of the Runing army.

So He Fei ordered loudly: "The whole army moves forward and aligns with the square formation on the right. Everything is ready for the Tartars to charge the formation. Then go to Guan Xin and ask him to pull the artillery back. The cavalry on the left and right sides Also pay attention, be ready to look for opportunities to charge at any time!"

Dozens of messengers rushed to the various troops immediately.

Hefei's plan is: first use the infantry phalanx to block the Qing army's charge, then the artillery bombardment, and finally the cavalry to cover up.If the Qing army is not defeated once, then the infantry phalanx will move forward again, attracting the Qing army's charge again, followed by artillery bombardment and cavalry cover-up...Anyway, it was relying on this trick to gradually consume the strength of the Qing army, accumulating less for more, and completely winning the final victory.

"Children! You have to keep up, don't get overwhelmed!" Helich urged.

This time, Dorgon brought nearly half of them, more than 5000 flags and coats from the Eight Banners.Now they are forming a team and will be led by Tuberi to the battlefield.

Just as the Manchus used the Han Army Banner and the Mongolian Eight Banners as cannon fodder, the Eight Banners were also divided into three, six, and nine ranks, and the Xianglan Banner, which was the lower five banners, was naturally at the forefront.

"Uncle! What's so great about this Han dog? If our athletes charge, they'll have to fuck off?" Hu Tu said nonchalantly.

"You kid, don't think so!" Helich's expression was quite serious, "Our Eight Banners cavalry has been used, and this battle is a bit dangerous. Hutu, you will follow me later, don't worry Don't be reckless! White pig! What are you doing hiding behind? Get to my grandfather's side."

Because they seized a lot after entering the customs, Helich and the others all had horses, armor and brand-new weapons, so now they have all changed their guns.

"Uncle He! Is the Han dog on the opposite side very powerful?" A young man asked worriedly.

Helich forced a smile, and said: "It's stronger than the ones we met before, but we have Prince Rui and our Eight Banners athletes, so we should definitely win. But we also need to protect ourselves. We have made great achievements, made a fortune, and each of us has at least three coat-coating servants, so we have to save our lives and go back to enjoy it."

After hearing Helich's words, several young people who followed him nodded.

But Helich himself was still worried. Although he was resting under his horse just now and couldn't see the battlefield in front of him clearly, the violent shelling made Helich tremble with fear.Maybe the older you are, the less courageous you are!Helich laughed at himself, but then he sternly said to those young people, "You must follow me closely! Don't just think about showing off!"

The white pig subconsciously "touched" the saber on the horse's back, and remembered that he had killed five Han people with his own hands after entering the customs.The most memorable one was the one killed in Jinan City: an old man wielding a sword and wearing official robes.Baizhu vaguely remembered his childhood memories, and remembered that his father seemed to be wearing such clothes.

Seeing that the white pig was in a daze, Helich immediately smacked the back of his head, and then cursed: "Are you stupid? Open your eyes and be careful!" Everyone didn't notice that Helich's shouting voice contained trembling slightly.

Ma Zhali led two thousand cavalry out of the battle, his mouth was a little bitter, because part of his troops had been transferred to Ji Lang'a to the east side.Only those herdsmen from Mengbaqi and Xinying remained behind him.

However, Mazari also understood Dorgon's intentions. He must have sacrificed his own cavalry to delay the pace of the Ming army on the opposite side.Besides, if the tactics are used properly, the outcome of the battlefield is not certain.So he divided the cavalry into four teams and ordered their respective tasks, and then asked each team to form three rows and charge in turn.Under his loud order, the cavalry of each team immediately got ready.

The first team of cavalry selected by Mazari were all from the Mongolian Eight Banners, and their combat effectiveness was much stronger than those of the herdsmen in the new camp. Under the strict military law of the Qing Dynasty, these Mongolian Eight Banners’ cavalry had already learned discipline, so this team of cavalry After the formation was arranged, the acceleration began.

Seeing that the Qing army had entered the firing range, the Runing army still fired the artillery first.But this time the cavalry of the Qing army lined up in a long line, and each shot hit at most three rows of cavalry in the front and back, so the shooting effect was not good.

Then came the firecracker rounds, but at this time the cavalry of the Qing army had increased their horse speed to the fastest. Although there were people and horses falling to the ground in the formation, the cavalry of the Qing army still charged closer and closer. (To be continued.
