Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

And this scene was so angry that the generals of the Qing army stepped forward and punched and kicked.Under their scolding and supervision, the Qing army finally started a new round of climbing again.

But when the Qing soldiers were about to climb to the top of the city this time, they did not welcome the golden juice, but instead heard the sound of labor chants.

The temporary ladders built by the Qing army must be rough.There is no iron hook installed on the head of the ladder, so it cannot be tightly fastened to the top of the city.So the village protection team held the wood in groups of several people, trotted and shouted labor chants, and wanted to use the top of the wood to knock over the ladder.

This simple method is exactly the right medicine.Every time I go back and forth, I can basically knock over a ladder.Even some fast Qing soldiers were knocked down as soon as they got half of their bodies out.And on both sides of each group of people holding logs, there are another two groups of spearmen. They keep stabbing at the top of the ladder, trying to kill those fish that slip through the net.

To be honest, the result of this battle is much smaller. After all, the wall is too short, and if it falls, it will cause a bruised nose and swollen eyes at most. There is no danger of life.Many Qing soldiers just rolled around on the ground a few times before they could continue to climb up.

However, this is also the reason why the village guard team does not use stones and wood to guard the village. There is no height. These defensive weapons that rely on potential energy to kill are not enough lethality!

But without the blood, the courage of the Qing army suddenly became stronger, and they began to climb the ladder one after another.Coupled with the fact that the buried trenches are getting longer and longer, and there are more and more ladders on the city wall, this "pool" game has gradually entered a white-hot state.

With the high-intensity impact, the Zhuangzhuang team gradually felt tired.Their movements also slowed down.finally.There was No.1 Qing soldier who climbed up the city wall.Although he was quickly stabbed to death by spears, gaps began to appear in the defense of the city wall.

When a Qing soldier climbed up the wall, the battle began to enter hand-to-hand combat.And this time.The advantages of the Qing soldiers began to be reflected.The Qing soldiers with rich combat experience gradually gained the upper hand in the hand-to-hand fight with the rookie-like village guards.If it weren't for the large number of guards on the wall, and the officials responsible for the defense of the city wall took the lead, maybe the guards would be disbanded.

But even so, Shi Zhen still led the death squad several times to block left and right, desperately blocking the gap.After paying huge casualties.Finally, the Qing army's first siege was repelled.

However, the generals of the Qing army who commanded the attack on Zhuangzi were not discouraged.The first siege means more of a test.After discovering Zhuangzi's defensive weakness, the general adjusted his tactics in time.The deployment was changed, and the second round of siege was immediately launched.

Facing rounds of attacks by the Qing army, Guan Qiguo, Shi Zhen and others also continued to mobilize new troops.Now there are no tricks to play, that is, fill it with human life.

Fortunately.As the battle progresses.The Huzhuang team also gradually got rid of their rookie status.And Zhuangzi is also small, so he can quickly go around to support.In addition, the family members of the Zhuangzhuang team are all in Zhuangzi, and there is no room for maneuver at all, so the desperate Zhuangzhuang team displayed super-level combat effectiveness.

The soldiers that the Qing army mainly attacked were also from various tribes in Mongolia.Although they are very brave on horseback, their combat effectiveness is always compromised when they are on flat ground.This is far from the Eight Banners soldiers who are good at horseback riding.And such an increase and a decrease made the battle situation deadlocked.But with rounds of sieges.Zhuangzi is like a boat in a storm, which may capsize at any time.And the village guard team in Zhuangzi.Now I can only grit my teeth and hold on.

……

"What a coincidence! It's just in time." Zhao Gan said with a smile as he saw several spies from the Qing army flying away towards the distance.

"What should we do? Where are the tens of thousands of Tartars? Avoid or hit them?" Chen De steered his horse nimbly, kicking the corpse of the Qing soldier spies on the ground with his horse's front legs, and asked with some disapproval.But judging by his movements and tone, he looked eager to try.

"What do you think?" Zhao Gan immediately asked back.

"Hahaha—!" The two looked at each other and immediately burst out laughing.

"Then let's compete!" After laughing for a while, Chen De challenged.

"How?" Zhao Gan asked with a smile.

"You half, I half, see who kills the most Tartars." Chen De said.

"Okay! The first group will be yours, and I will ride the second group. How about it?" Zhao Gan is also young at heart, and of course he will not shrink back in the face of challenges.

"Aren't you at a disadvantage?" Chen De was also unwilling to take advantage.

"It's not certain who will suffer. What? Is it better to compare?" Zhao Gan was very imposing in turn.

"Okay! Since you said so! Let's add a lottery! Whoever loses will be treated in the capital. How about it?" Chen De said.

"Of course there is no problem! Your little General Chen is a member of a family, and you must not be short of money. This time I will eat a big family." Zhao Gan nodded and agreed.

……

Both Zhao Gan and Chen De entered Shaanxi with the Western Expedition Army at that time.After receiving Wu Shigong's order, Xue Yong's Zhengxi Army and the Sichuan Army in Dashan gathered more than 3000 cavalry. Zhao Gan and Chen De were the deputy commanders and returned to aid Beijing.

After the more than 3000 cavalry were concentrated, Zhao Gan and Chen De simply formed them into two cavalry regiments.So while they were on their way, they took the time to train these cavalrymen on the road.

Among them, the cavalry regiment is basically composed of veteran cavalry of the Ming army who surrendered and trilateral cavalry of the Dashun army. Their combat skills are relatively good, and Chen De is mainly responsible for training them.And Chen De also adopted the old-fashioned cavalry training method, paying special attention to the single-riding training of the cavalry, and putting the formation training second.

As for the Second Cavalry Regiment, it is composed of cavalry trained by the Runing Army and some new cavalry. In comparison, their combat skills are not as good.Therefore, Zhao Gan, who was in charge of the training, only trained the cavalry formation, and basically gave up all the combat skills training for single cavalry.

And this is also the collision of old and new cavalry training concepts.Along the way, neither Zhao Gan nor Chen De can convince anyone.In addition, the two of them are young and energetic, so they have long wanted to find a chance to compete.

Unexpectedly, this cavalry unit happened to encounter the Qing army attacking a military village on the way, so they divided the army into two, and they had to use the results to compare who was right and who was wrong.

But now the Qing army spies just ran back, and it will take some time for the large troops to come over.So Zhao Gan and Chen De took their own cavalry regiments aside.Then they all ordered to dismount to rest, feed the horses, and prepare for the upcoming battle.

"Here we come! We come!" The sentinels who were watching ahead issued a warning in unison.And in the distance, huge smoke and dust were also raised.Many veterans riding a regiment looked at Yangchen, lay down on the ground and listened for a while, and then shouted loudly: "There are three or four thousand Tartars. Three or four thousand!"

Hearing the cries of those veterans, Chen De smiled and said to himself: "There are not many people, so it's a good time to compete." Then he raised his hand to Zhao Gan who was in the distance, and made a gesture of getting ready to start.Zhao Gan also waved his hand in response to Chen De.

Seeing that the Qing army had entered six or seven hundred paces, Chen De gave a shout and led his own soldiers to attack first, and the cavalry of the first regiment followed.

Zhao Gan looked at Chen De impatiently attacking, he smiled slightly, and then picked up the copper whistle hanging around his neck and blew it, while the second cavalry regiment marched forward slowly in a linear formation of cavalry.

Chen De's battle was indeed quite brave.When the two armies approached, he bent his bow and shot, and an arrow hit the neck of a Qing soldier's horse.And the horse that was hit by the arrow gave a soft front leg, and the Qing soldier rolled down under the horse, and was trampled into a meat paste by the following Qing cavalry.

Most of the cavalry soldiers charging at the front had the ability to shoot arrows on horseback. They shot away in a volley, shooting down the Qing soldiers who rushed to the front one after another.

And the Qing soldiers were not to be outdone, and also used the stunt of archery on horseback.Chen De, who was dressed in exquisite armor, was of course the most obvious target.A few arrows hit the plate armor on his body, making a "bang bang" sound, and then they all bounced off.Chen De had a lucky expression, he said to himself: "The armor made by the emperor is really good."

Then Chen De put down his bow and arrow, raised the broadsword hanging beside the horse, and rushed into the Qing cavalry first, shouting.So this side fell into a melee.

Zhao Gan, on the other hand, kept his horse speed and slowly approached the charging Qing army.When the two armies were fifty paces apart, Zhao Gan's cavalry regiment just reached the speed of sprinting.The cavalrymen who rushed in the front row were all trained by the Runing Army. They held the firecrackers and fired a round of salvos. Then they skillfully put away the firecrackers, raised their spears horizontally, and lined up in a neat line to start charging.

And the Qing army that came to stop this time was mostly Mongolian cavalry.Seeing that the second cavalry regiment formed a neat queue, they did not dare to engage in a collision that would hurt both sides.No matter how high your personal combat skills are, facing a wall-like array of cavalry is completely dead.So they dispersed one after another to avoid the frontal charge of the second cavalry regiment.

But this evasion completely broke up the formation of the Qing army.Facing the rampant second cavalry regiment, the Qing army here is also getting more and more chaotic.And the Second Cavalry Regiment also began to strangle scattered Qing soldiers in divisions.Therefore, in the battle here, the Daping Army has always maintained a situation where more people beat fewer people. The Qing soldiers were stabbed one by one, while the casualties of the Second Cavalry Regiment were minimal.

Seeing that the battle was so one-sided, some Qing soldiers finally couldn't stand it anymore.As the first cavalry retreated, the Qing soldiers fled back one after another.Soon, the Qing army here was wiped out.

So Zhao Gan immediately commanded the troops to pinch the back of the Qing army who was fighting with Chen De, and this Qing army was quickly defeated. (To be continued..)
