Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Whether it was condescending hand-to-hand combat, or condescending firecrackers, bow and arrow shooting, the Ming army had the upper hand.In addition, the strength of the Qing army behind the second trench was not enough, so under the violent impact, the Ming army finally broke through.

Although the Ming army spent more than a dozen lives to replace one of the opponents, firstly, the Ming army had too many people, and secondly, there were few Qing troops behind the second trench. Can't stop.

Many soldiers of the Qing army were overwhelmed by the swarming Ming army, and the rest lost the courage to fight and fled towards the third ditch.They retreated through the planks erected on the third ditch, and immediately removed the planks.Several Ming soldiers who walked quickly also stepped onto the plank, but they were shot and stabbed to death by the Qing army immediately, without snatching any passage.So the confrontation scene between the two sides returned to the state before the attack on the second trench.

The battlefield also returned to a short period of calm.Qing troops prepared behind the earthen walls of the third trench.The Ming army continued to fill the second trench, making the passageway wider and wider.More and more Ming troops rushed through the second trench.Not long after, a crowded state was also formed, and they began to push forward row by row again.

"Master Baylor! Ming Gou is already crazy, rushing forward with all his might, the ones in the front are all the sons of our flag, and the other flags are staying behind. Isn't this going to consume us all? Lord Baylor Going on like this is not going to work, go to the emperor and beg, find other flags to replace us!" A parade leader in the first row behind the earth wall whispered to the commanding general of the Qing army in a panicked tone. Said.

That Baylor looked at his bannerman, and then at Huang Gai of Huang Taiji, his expression was very indifferent.He ignored the leader, and immediately ordered loudly: "Get the cannons, firecrackers, and bows and arrows ready. Get ready to shoot in bursts. Come to the front. Anyone who dares to slack off will be punished immediately."

Now Huang Taiji is supervising the battle, so that Baylor dare not slack off.Besides, the military laws of the Qing army are very strict. Even if they did not lose their heads because of preserving their strength afterwards, they would be deprived of their records and property, which is similar to the loss of their own banner strength.So why does Baylor need to preserve his strength?It's better to go all the way to the future.

But the leader under him still didn't understand, and he became even more anxious: "Lord Baylor! They are all your caring servants! After killing all our servants, you will have your place in the Eight Banners in the future Is it? We will suffer at that time..."

But halfway through the conversation, that Baylor slapped him across the face.He grabbed the collar of the participating leader and said viciously: "Didn't you see that the national sons of the Eight Banners have all driven to Jinzhou? Do you think the emperor is not watching from behind? This battle will determine the fate of the Qing Dynasty." , If we don’t fight according to the emperor’s request today, there will be no place to die! There will be no place to die! We can’t even keep our family members. Get the hell up and urge them not to retreat!”

The officer leader turned pale with fright.As soon as Baylor let go of his front collar after roaring, the leader of the army immediately turned around and beat his horse.ran towards his troops.

But this time the firepower of the Qing army was much stronger.The uninterrupted sound of bow and arrow strings, the roar of firecrackers, mixed with the "rumbling" artillery fire, knocked down the charging Ming army row by row.

In the troops of the Qing army, an artillery battalion has been formed in each of the Eight Banners, so artillery and firecrackers are equipped in large quantities.After the battle with the Runing army in Hejian, the Qing army already attached great importance to firearms.They have accelerated the speed of equipping firearms. Therefore, in today's firearms confrontation, the Qing army will not be left behind.Coupled with the addition of bows and arrows and the cover of earth walls, the lethality of the Qing army doubled.

The soldiers carrying earth and rocks in the front row of the Ming army were knocked down one after another.Because most of the earth and rocks have been used when filling the second trench, there are not many earth and rocks in the Ming army now.Seeing this situation, under the urging of the officers, the Ming army in the back row picked up the earth and rocks that fell on the ground, and even lifted the corpses of the Ming army that had fallen on the ground, and continued to move towards the trench.

Although the firepower of the Qing army is intensive, there are always fish that slip through the net.The advancing Ming army kept throwing earth, rocks and corpses down the ditch, and the ditch was gradually filled up.Many soldiers who were driven to the front were pushed down by the people behind and fell into the deep ditch before they even had time to fall.

This tragic situation of burial alive was repeated.But I have to admit that although the current state is crazy, it is indeed effective. Under the threat of knives, guns and death, everyone is crazily busy, seeing that the trench is quickly filled again.

The soldiers around Wang Pu, Wu Sangui and others were sent out to supervise the battle. Those cronies knew that they had not been abandoned by the lord, and they also knew that only by relying on the cannon fodder in front and the abandoned companions could they break away from the enemy in front of them. With this obstacle, he can have a way out.

Therefore, these soldiers were extremely crazy when they supervised the battle. Everyone was yelling and killing with swords and swords. Driven by them, the whole team moved forward blindly regardless of everything.

In the formation of the Ming army, the messengers on horseback also kept galloping back and forth, and they wanted to communicate the situation on the battlefield to their generals.And when they heard the reports from the messengers, the chief soldiers were overjoyed and a little unbelievable, because if they continued fighting in this state, they would be able to stand out after a while.

But the Qing army just blocked the front like this, it was completely tit-for-tat.And these general soldiers are also familiar with military affairs, and they know that the basic principle of war is not to chase the poor. In the face of the fleeing army, blocking is the worst strategy. It takes huge casualties to stop this flood of fleeing. If you don't pay attention, you will even be washed away by this torrent, which is completely a way of getting twice the result with half the effort.And the generals of the Qing army are also familiar with military affairs, so how could they not know this truth?Is there a fraud in this?

But at this time, the commander-in-chief of the Ming army had no intention of guessing the mind of the Qing army.No matter what the reason is, as long as you can break through and everyone can escape, this is the most important thing.

At this time, Wu Sangui, who was the leader faintly, did his part among the general soldiers.After hearing the orderer's report, he pondered for a while and said, "Everyone! I thought it would take a lot of trouble, but I didn't expect things to go so smoothly. Then strike while the iron is hot! Now the frontal battlefield is being fought by the general and the king. The soldiers and horses of the commander-in-chief are occupied, but the trench is very long, and they cannot squeeze their lives in this short line. The other commander-in-chiefs might as well lead the army to fill the trenches on the left and right sides. What are you delaying!" (To be continued...)
