Ten Dragons Take the Inheritance

Chapter 44 The Battle of Chaomodo
At the right time, the two wings of the Qing army formed a defensive formation. The cannons lined up in the front of the line, followed by archers and shield swordsmen, and the cavalry was at the end, forming a semi-encirclement to Galdan's army from a distance. state.Although the two wings of the Qing army were on the defensive and none of the cavalry was on horseback, if Ge Erdan's army tried to retreat at this moment, the two wings of the Qing army could turn into an offensive at any time. Together with the green cavalry rushing down from the top of the mountain, it was enough to knock Ge Erdan back. The Dan army's queue was overwhelmed.If this is the case, Galdan's army will definitely suffer a serious setback, and the heavy casualties of the army are not what Galdan can afford at this time; Erdan's army is still unable to escape defeat, and the only chance is to capture the top of the mountain and turn back.Gerdan was old in battle, so how could he fail to see the mystery of the Qing army's formation? The main force of the Chinese army lined up at the foot of Mount Zhaomoduo, ready to launch an attack.

Well, that old boy is Galdan?It's so tough.The battle is imminent, others get nervous, but Yinzuo relaxes, and now he still has time to comment on Ge Erdan's appearance, he can be regarded as a newborn calf.Yin Zuo has never seen Galdan, and there is no such thing as a camera in this era. Of course, there is no way to pay homage to Galdan’s prestige. He wants a signed photo or something. The reason why he can recognize Galdan is actually a lie It's nothing—a group of big men gathered under a handsome banner, all surrounded by a strong old man with a gray beard and a square face.

A horn sounded at the foot of the mountain, and more than two hundred Mongolian soldiers, led by a centurion, rushed up the mountain with their horses. When they reached the foot of the mountain, they whistled, rolled off their horses at the same time, and let the horses move around. After fleeing, all the Mongolian soldiers roared and rushed towards the top of the mountain at an extremely fast speed, and they rushed to the trap area in a blink of an eye.Although soldiers fell into pits or were injured by hidden animal traps, this group of Mongolian men was extremely brave and ignored the wounded. They continued to attack the Qing army's positions with all their strength, destroying antlers and other defensive measures along the way. .

"Fire the arrows!" Sun Sike yelled suddenly, and the arrows rained down like rain in an instant, shooting down dozens of people in the blink of an eye, and the remaining more than a hundred Mongolian soldiers were still rushing wildly.

Zhaomoduo is just a hill, less than 70 meters high. Although the top of the mountain is flat, it is not wide enough to accommodate [-] soldiers. Therefore, the Qing army deployed two lines of defense on the mountain, one at the mountainside, The other line was near the top of the mountain, and the distance between the two lines of defense was only about [-] meters, and the line of defense on the mountainside was only [-] meters away from the foot of the mountain.Such a short distance only allowed the Qing army to shoot a round of arrows, and the group of Mongolian soldiers rushed to the front of the Qing army's formation screaming. With a roar, a feathered arrow flew up and rolled into a ball. With the shield in his left hand standing on his chest, the sword in his right hand swept wildly, and slammed wildly into the line of spears.

"Kill!" Five or six Qing soldiers fired their guns at the same time and blocked the centurion's advance path in an instant.At the moment when the spear forest and the shield were about to collide head-on, the Mongolian centurion let out a roar like thunder, and he sank suddenly in the air. The five or six long spears he had swept aside, then landed on the ground and rolled over, took a shot on the shoulder, and rushed into the crowd, and the other hundred or so Mongolian warriors also rushed into the Qing army formation , In an instant, the sound of the impact of weapons and screams rang out.

Although the number of this group of Mongolian soldiers was small, they were all brave and courageous. They immediately disrupted the formation of the Qing soldiers. At this moment, the phalanx of the middle army of Geldan's army that had gathered at the foot of the mountain also began to move. , More than 3000 soldiers dismounted at the same time, spread out their formations and launched an impact on the top of the mountain.

The number of Qing troops guarding the mountain was larger than that of the attacking Galdan army, and they were well-trained, but the problem was that the Qing troops marched long distances for more than two months, and marched for ten days and nights. There is only 5% left, that is to say, the battle can only be won by relying on the favorable location. If Galdan's army breaks up the formation and forms a melee, the battle will be difficult to fight without the favorable location.Right now, more than a hundred Mongolian death squads are still tossing in the formation, and Galdan's brigade is about to start speeding up, Yin Zuo can't wait to hold the sword and go to the front to kill the centurion who is slashing and killing The head was chopped off, but it was just a matter of thinking about it. At this moment, Yinzuo can't care about the young Mongolian soldier—according to the original plan, Yinzuo is in charge of the rear, especially the artillery battalion control.The cannons of this season are not the ones that can be fired as soon as the breech is pulled in the later generations. The guns must be loaded first, then the shells are loaded from the front, and then the matchlock is lit, so that the shells can be fired.Aside from the low power, it is very troublesome to load. It can be fired once in [-] minutes. In order to understand the parameters of these artillery, Yin Zuo spent a long time at the Armed Forces Department of the Ministry of War.

At this moment, as soon as Galdan's army was launched, Yinzuo cheered up, secretly estimated the distance, and after seeing that it was almost there, he ordered loudly: "Fire!"

A total of twelve cannons were deployed on the top of the mountain. The six cannons on both sides were fired first, and the six sub-munitions shot out quickly, and landed on the two wings of Geldan's army with a howl, immediately blasting out a spray of blood.Amidst the screams, Galdan's army was in chaos, and many soldiers gathered towards the center where they were not hit by the artillery, but they never thought that the other six cannons on the top of the mountain fired, and the bullets hit the center of Galdan's army, flying across. The shrapnel immediately swept away a large area, and then there was a sudden explosion at the place where Geldan's army was located—the explosives buried in the ground were detonated by the artillery shells. Although not many people were actually injured, the explosion However, the momentum caused the charge formation of Galdan's army to become chaotic. Some charged straight up, some were stunned by the cannon and stood there in a daze, and some hurriedly retreated.

It's human nature to beat a dog in the water. Seeing that Geldan's army was in chaos, Sun Sike didn't care that there was still a small group of Mongolian soldiers making trouble in his formation. With one stroke of the steel knife in his hand, he shouted loudly: " Go down, kill!" More than 3000 green battalion soldiers rushed down with shouts, and met the chaotic Geerdan army, and the two armies launched a fierce battle on the hillside. .

Fighting is all about momentum. If an army loses momentum, no matter how many people there are, it is useless. How can Galdan's army stop the Qing army rushing down the mountain in chaos? The soldiers resisted desperately, but in the end they were defeated like a mountain. After a few encounters, they retreated down the mountain like a tide. The Qing soldiers chased after them and killed them from the mountainside.Just killing, killing, seeing that the Qing army was about to rush into Galdan's square with the defeated army, Galdan, who had been sitting firmly under the commander's flag, waved his hand suddenly, and in an instant The Mongolian cavalry who were ready bent their bows and released arrows at the same time, and the rain of arrows covered them like locusts.

The reason why the Mongolian cavalry were able to run rampant in the world back then was because of their ability to ride and shoot. When the rain of arrows fell, the rear of the defeated army was blocked in an instant, whether it was the Qing soldiers who were chasing after them or the defeated soldiers who fled more slowly. , all fell into a pool of blood, and the Qing army brigade saw that the momentum was not right, so they had no choice but to retreat to the mountainside.

While Sun Sike was busy chasing and killing Geerdan's army, Yinzuo was not idle either. Seeing the dozens of Mongolian dead soldiers still entangled with a group of Qing soldiers, Yinzuo suddenly became interested and said happily He plans to go down with a sword and open meat by himself.To be honest, Yinzuo has been practicing martial arts with Chen Tianyuan since he was six years old, and he has suffered a lot. It has been ten years. Although he has not yet reached the level of mastery, it is still not a problem to deal with small miscellaneous fish. When he has nothing to do in Beijing, I often disguise myself and go to the market to meet those so-called "heroes". No wonder the head doesn't itch.

Although Yinzuo's calculation was good, someone moved faster than him. Before Yinzuo could leave, Sun Yao, who was standing behind him, shouted: "The guards come with me." He passed Yinzuo all at once, Leading more than [-] masters rushed into the battle group.Depend on!Fucking little demon, grabbing business, damn it, this time it's out of the question again.Yinzuo hated it so much, but there was nothing wrong with it. The little demon did not want Yinzuo to take any risks. This is the duty of a bodyguard. There is nothing to say, and Yinzuo had no choice but to put the sword back into its sheath resentfully. middle.

Those who can be guards by Yinzuo's side are all elites who have been selected again and again, all of them are top fighters, and they are all old fighters, not to mention that the leaders are all Ouchi guards Although those Mongolian soldiers were fierce, they had no power to fight back, but after a few encounters, there was not even a scum left.The little demon was so happy that he cut off the head of that Mongolian centurion, and he was showing off the bloody head at the moment, when Yinzuo ran over angrily, gave him a kick, and scolded with a smile : "Little bastard, you are so beautiful, don't throw it away, keep it as a chamber pot."

"Hey, lord, let's keep it to receive the reward." The little demon was full of complacency.

"I reward you for being tall, get out of the way, my father is troubled by it."

The little demon raised his hand with a smile, threw the ferocious head aside, and went to brag with the boy's personal guard.

"Master Baylor, the next battle will be difficult." Sun Sike said with a worried face.When the old man shouted to kill, he took the lead and charged, but even though he was a little older and his legs and feet were not very agile, he didn't reach the front line after running for a long time, but he came back quite quickly.

Well, it's not easy to fight. The battle just now can be said to have taken advantage of the right time, place and people. Although more than 500 Zhungeer soldiers were killed, nearly 300 of them were killed, and the loss was heavy; besides, these sub-fortifications were originally Temporarily set up a cover, and rushed like this for a while, those pits and the like have long since disappeared.There are still a lot of shells, but every time Galdan's army charges, they can only fire once or twice. Once the two armies fight, those cannons will become a display. It's hard to catch people by surprise with cannons.But if it's not easy to fight, you have to fight. Only by exhausting Galdan's army can you create a one-hit-kill fighter for Fei Yanggu.Yinzuo's mind was moving fast, but in the current situation, he has no way to win by surprise - this is a fight to the death, there is no strategy to use, what he fights is just a breath of momentum, he can only fight with his teeth gritted .

At the foot of the mountain, a horn sounded in the formation of Geldan's army, and more than 3000 Zhungeer soldiers lined up again and approached the mountainside. The leader was a big black man, a full two meters high, holding a huge wolf The toothbrush, standing there, looks like a door god, so vicious.This guy Yin Zuo also knows it, he has done a lot of homework before going on the expedition, and he knows the important generals under Gerdan, and this one in front of him is the number one general under Gerdan, known as the number one warrior on the grassland It's Cedan Meng, the prestige of this product is very good on the grassland, and it is sure to be effective in curing a child's night crying.

Under the sudden leadership of Cerdan, Ge Erdan's army walked forward slowly, except for the sound of neat footsteps, there was no sound of noise, which really gave people a strong sense of oppression, especially Cerdan Meng's black one with Li Kui The face that compares with each other makes people feel palpitations.Depend on!Play psychological warfare, mother, if you have a heavy sniper in your hand this time, you can kill this kid with a single shot, or you can cover up Sanba.Xu Zuo was very depressed, but he couldn't do anything. At this moment, the distance is a bit far, and the bow and arrow can't be shot, but the cannon can be reached. The problem is that the accuracy of the cannon is not accurate at all. up.

This time Galdan's army was not in a hurry to charge, they just walked in such a leisurely manner, but the footsteps became louder and louder. trembling.Depend on!It can't go on like this, the morale will be gone before the battle starts, and if Galdan's army charges in a while, then it's all over?Yinzuo was secretly anxious, estimated the distance, ordered the artillerymen under his command to adjust their running positions, and shouted: "Fire!" Twelve submunitions whizzed away, accurately hitting Geldan's army, and exploded. There was a spray of blood, stumps and broken arms splashed all over the place, but this time Galdan's army was chaotic but not in a hurry, and they continued to approach upwards. When they were about 40 meters away from the Qing army's formation, Cedanmeng and Sun Sike shouted "Let go!" Arrows!" The two brothers thought of a piece, and the arrow feathers in the air were so thick that it was raining, and in an instant, both sides were shot down a large area.The mace in Tserdanmeng's hand danced wildly, pushed away the feathered arrows that were shot at him, and shouted: "Kill!" He took the lead in charging, and his huge body charged like a tank.

"Release the rolling logs!" Sun Sike ordered loudly, and dozens of giant logs descended down the mountain, pressing towards Geldan's army.Tsedan took the brunt of the blow, a giant log about one meter thick rolled down towards him, Tsedan rushed too fast, and could no longer avoid the sweeping range of the giant log, and was about to be swept by the giant log, Tserdan With a wild cry, the huge mace in his hand swung forward...
