The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 479 All-round Advantages
Not to mention the rifled guns of the Dragon Guards, there is a generation gap advantage over the flintlocks of the Jianlu Firearms Battalion.Just because the Qing army used the bulky heavy-duty guns against the Ming army's medium-sized guns, and they didn't have fixed-loading technology, the rate of fire was [-] to [-] percent slower, so they couldn't beat even the Polu camp.

Coupled with the fact that the Qing army lacked artillery support, the "queue to shoot" was about to decide the winner. At this time, the large-scale "faults" of the Qing army's firecrackers immediately became the last straw that crushed the camel's camel.Immediately, the entire Zhenghongqi Firearms Battalion began to retreat.

Although Babutai couldn't understand the reason, he knew very well in his heart that once the mighty 2 horses retreated, no one would be able to stop them.

He looked at the two wings of the battle formation, and saw that Dasu and Chen Tai's cavalry brigade had already activated—in fact, their movements were considered very fast, but the main force of the infantry was too useless, before the cavalry rushed up, they were overwhelmed. up.

Waiting for Xiaoqi to disrupt the formation of the Southern Army may still have a chance!Babutai immediately pulled out his saber with red eyes, and called to the hundreds of Ba Yala to rush into the army formation, and kept shouting loudly: "Everyone is going forward to fight the enemy! Those who take half a step back, beheaded!" "

As he spoke, he swung his knife and cut down a flag soldier who was flinching, and the Ba Yala responded, and swung their knives to drive the soldiers towards the Ming army.

"My lord, it's the enemy cavalry!" Zhang Jiayu pointed to the north, and then found that there was also a brigade of Jianlu flag soldiers attacking from his right flank, "There are also from the south."

Zhu Linmei nodded and said, "The order is for the infantry of the Dragon Guards to break through the middle, and then turn to the north to outflank." In fact, the infantry of the Dragon Guards in the middle had already formed an absolute suppression of the Jianlu on the opposite side, but he was worried that a rash attack would destroy the Jianlu flag. Soldiers can take advantage of the opportunity.At this time, since the captive cavalry had come from the two wings, the middle road could be safely attacked.

He continued to order: "Never fall into a state of facing the enemy more. Let the infantry of the Polu battalion on the north side turn into a hollow square to withstand the enemy cavalry. After the Dragon Guards defeat the right wing of the bandits in the middle, rush over to cooperate with the enemy. .”

"Yes!"

"As for the south," Zhu Linmi pondered, "concentrate all the cavalry and cooperate with the cannons to intercept the captive cavalry. The infantry of the Polu Battalion on the right is responsible for defending the enemy from the front, and we must be careful to build a reserve army of captives."

"Yes!"

Zhu Lin ordered the flag to be waved under the big banner, and all the Ming army units immediately moved according to the order.

First, the right wing of the Jianlu Firearms Battalion felt that the pressure dropped sharply, and the Ming army on the opposite side stopped firing, and quickly gathered and began to form an formation.Immediately, a Jianlu officer shouted excitedly: "It's the Xiaoqi Battalion coming up! Follow me to Tu Minggou!"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a loud roar from the direction of the Chinese army, "Kill!" Immediately, the Dragon Guards in the middle rushed into the Qing army's firearms camp on the opposite side with a thunderous force.

The Qing army in the middle of the road could not hold up under the fierce blow of the Longwei army's rifled guns, but it was only because of the force of the Ba Yala warlord behind them that they did not collapse.

At this time, the Ming army rushed forward like a hungry tiger. First, they used the bullets reserved in the barrels to shoot over the captive soldiers who hadn't run away. Then they raised their bayonets and stabbed the nearby enemy soldiers.

The Jianzhou Bannermen never expected that the Southerners who were as weak as sheep in the past would be so fierce. Even though they held spears and short spears in their hands, they were frightened by the terrifying momentum of the Dragon Guards, and no one dared to fight. .

Immediately, the middle road of the Qing army was like snow meeting a branding iron, and a gap was opened in an instant.After piercing through the Jianlu battle formation, the infantrymen of the Dragon Guards immediately turned to the left, quickly reloaded on the spot under the command of the commander, and fired a salvo towards the Qing army's firearms battalion on the north side.

Jianlu's pawns on the right wing had just rushed ten or so steps away, when suddenly a mass of gunshots came from their side, and they fell over on the spot.Some Jianlu officers hastily ordered their phalanx to turn left to defend against the enemy, but those who were a little further away didn't know it and rushed forward.

In front of the Dragon Guard Army, such a chaotic situation was like "giving away the head", several battalion commanders of the Dragon Guard Army began to move forward with alternating cover tactics in a very tacit understanding.

Three infantry lines of 2000 soldiers reloaded, fired, and charged in sequence, cutting steadily and quickly into the right-wing enemy line.

Until then, Chen Tai's [-] Jianzhou Xiaoqi and Li Zhongxing's [-] Green Battalion cavalry arrived in a hurry, but they saw six hollow phalanxes of the Ming Army lying in front of them.There are more than a thousand people in each formation, all pointing out the daggers on the firecrackers, and there are also some skirmishers and artillery in the formation.

Chen Tai deliberately bypassed these strange square formations to save his own right-wing pawns, but these six square formations spanned more than one mile wide, and the formations were staggered back and forth to form a depth. And Cannon.

Chen Tai frowned, swung his saber forward vigorously, and took the lead to charge in from the seam between the two hollow phalanxes.

But no surprise, his cavalry torrent was forced by the bayonets on the hollow phalanx, and had to pass from both sides of the phalanx.On the two sides of the square matrix arranged in the shape of Pin, there is still another hollow square matrix, so the "Hongliu" that was divided into two halves was divided into two halves again.

At the same time, the hunters and cannons in the formation continued to pour out their firepower, and Chen Tai's troops were instantly trapped in the gaps between several square formations. The men and horses lost their unified control and ran around, and people were constantly killed and dismounted.

Only then did Chen Tai realize that he had underestimated this strange battle formation, he hurriedly chose the nearest exit and ran out of the fire area of ​​the hollow phalanx.

But at this time, the Dragon Guards had defeated Babutai's right-wing infantry, and quickly rushed to support the hollow phalanx of the Polu camp.

At the same time, on the left wing of the Jianlu Army, led by the Dragon Guard Heavy Cavalry Battalion, followed by two and a half battalions of Lancers and six battalions of Hussars, they assembled almost all the cavalry of the Dragon Guards and Polu Battalion, A total of 5000 troops were rushing towards the [-] Jianzhou Xiaoqi led by Dasu.

Behind them, the dragoon battalion covered twenty red cannons and all the Franco cannons, and quickly established an artillery position a mile away.

This is the first large-scale confrontation between the cavalry of the Ming army and the cavalry of Jianlu Xiaoqi after Zhu Linmi came to this time.

Dasu is still the old tactic of Jianlu, shooting arrows from a long distance, and when he gets close to the Ming cavalry, he quickly turns to one side and passes by the Ming army.Then make a circle, turn around and complete the team, and do it again.Relying on bows and arrows repeatedly consumes the opponent's vital strength.

However, this time, under the reasonable combination of arms and scientific tactical arrangements of the cavalry of the Ming army, they couldn't play this game.

The bows and arrows of the previous rounds of the captive cavalry all fell on the plate armor of the heavy cavalry, causing almost no damage.When the two sides passed by each other, the Lancers and Hussars of the Ming Army immediately responded with a volley of spring-wheeled short guns. Including Da Su's lieutenant general, 300 people were shot and fell off their horses.
