Go back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to be a soldier

Chapter 116

After a night's rest, the more than 1500 people including Lin Yi were like tigers and dragons in Marseilles.In the early morning, they ran for nearly an hour and more than 30 miles. When Lin Yi and others appeared behind Huang Taiji and his troops, the Tartars still didn't notice.

The team temporarily stopped and changed their horses, because each of them had two horses and ran for nearly an hour. The purpose of changing horses at this time was to maintain sufficient charge.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Yi took Xiaoying and others, and immediately stood on a high place, breathing for a while, while observing the enemy's situation.

Due to the exceptionally clear weather today, the visibility is very high, and Ji Dong's eyes are very good. The eyesight of the special forces before crossing and the fusion of force after crossing, his eyesight is definitely over 2.0 at present.

Therefore, the situation on the top of the city of Beijing in the distance and the situation of the Tartars outside the city can be seen clearly. At this time, Huang Taiji is showing off his might under the city of Beijing, and the Tartars are drinking horses and slaughtering by the moat. The Ming government group headed by Emperor Chongzhen is watching helplessly. He looked helpless, nothing but grief and indignation.

At that time, Lin Yi felt that the Ming Dynasty was really coming to an end. Once upon a time, the great celestial country ruled the world and all nations came to court, but now the emperor brought tens of thousands of civil and military ministers and workers, but he couldn't save his people. He could only watch helplessly. His people were raised bloody butcher knives by aliens and slaughtered like cattle, but they were indifferent and helpless.

The emperor, civil and military officials, and generals of the celestial dynasty can only be spectators.Can such a dynasty last?Does it make sense to last?
"My lord, the Tartars are so cruel, they even attacked unarmed civilians, even children!"

"We can't blame the Tartars for their brutality. This is Huang Taiji's method. It's a pity that our great country in the sky has fallen to this point..." Lin Yi looked at Huang Taiji who was clamoring madly under Huang Luo's umbrella and the corpses of ordinary people on the ground. , the duty of a soldier made him ignite a fierce fighting spirit: "Adjust the formation, kill!"

Lin Yi finally issued a battle order. The more than 1500 cavalry were roughly divided into three battle orders. The 300 people who rushed to the front were firearms soldiers.

Immediately following the charge of the fire cavalry were 300 archers, and each archer carried two pots of arrows behind him, that is, 60 arrows.Of course, after the arrows are shot, they cannot be slaughtered by others. They still wear waist knives.

This is the 600 riders at the forefront, and the leader of these 600 riders is of course the titan Zu Keyong, who was born in Guanning cavalry.

Following the charge of 600 cavalry were nearly 100 iron cavalry, mainly Ji Dong's more than [-] guards and the remaining Guan Ning cavalry.

Thousands of horses are galloping, and the smashed ground trembles.

After Huang Taiji's men discovered this team, it was too late.

Just as these Tartars adjusted their formation to escort, 300 musketeers rushed into the firing range.

"Papa, papa..." These musketeers were well-trained. 300 musketeers took turns shooting on the galloping horses.

Immediately, the smoke filled the air, and under the random shooting, the Tartars who had been shot fell off their horses one after another.

Charged side by side with the 300 firearms soldiers were 300 archers. Although the range of bows and arrows is not as good as that of firecrackers, their power is not small.

These archers are on galloping horses, drawing their bows and shooting arrows continuously, which is faster than musketeers reloading ammunition. The fastest can shoot more than a dozen arrows in a row before rushing into the ranks of the Tartars. At this time, the bows and arrows will be lost. effect.

Therefore, these 300 archers shot more than 1 sharp arrows in a row in just one minute.Arrows rained down in the sky, and countless Tartars, including men and horses, were shot into hedgehogs.

The fierce attack of the musketeers and archers caused the Tartars' ranks to be in chaos.There were dead and wounded on the ground, people screaming and rushing around.

In the blink of an eye, the 600 Guan Ning iron cavalry rushing to the front entered Huang Taiji's team, and it was time for the melee battle.

Commander Zu Keyong swung his wheeled axe, chopping and slashing, cutting from left to right and sweeping right. After a few blows, several Tartars fell from their horses, causing casualties everywhere.

Firearms soldiers and archers have overcome their shortcomings during training, that is to say, firearms and bows and arrows have a certain combat distance, beyond this distance, they will not be able to play a role.The so-called exceeding this distance means that the distance is too far or too close.Even when the distance is too close, they can still fight, which is the characteristic of Guan Ning cavalry.

This is not the credit of Lin Yi and Zu Keyong. As early as when Yuan Chonghuan supervised Liaodong, the Guanning cavalry headed by Zu Dashou had already formed such a combat power.

Therefore, when the two sides fought close to each other, although the firearms and bows and arrows were useless, the muskets in their hands were not decorations at this time. They were still very powerful when they took turns to use them as big iron rods.The archer inserted the bow in his hand, pulled out the waist knife in his hand, and started a hand-to-hand combat with the Tartars.

At the end of Ming Dynasty, Guan Ning's iron cavalry was not inferior to the Eight Banners warriors outside the pass in terms of combat power.This kind of combat power refers to the ability to fight in the field, that is, to remove the influence of firearms and solid positions, and only talk about the force of bows and arrows and hand-to-hand combat.

This has been proven in several contests between Yuan Chonghuan's Ningyuan Army and the Manchurian cavalry.

As for the Guan Ning cavalry in front of me, after more than half a year of intensive training by Ji Yi, their individual combat and collective charge capabilities have improved. Compared with Ning cavalry, Lin Yi's team needs to be described as "Guan Ning cavalry +".

The firearms soldier swung the big iron rod in his hand and smashed the heads of the Tartars one after another. The archer abandoned his bow and arrow, pulled out the waist knife in his hand, and chopped the Tartars off their horses one after another.

These 600 Guan Ning cavalry charged Huang Taiji's tens of thousands of the main force of the Chinese army in a mess, causing casualties.

"Where is this army? How many people are there? Find out quickly?" Huang Taiji under Huang Luo's umbrella frowned when he saw such a powerful team.

"Huang Ama, don't care where his army is, and don't care how many he comes, let your ministers kill them, these smart dogs are nothing special!" Hauge, the eldest son of Huang Taiji, stepped in to salute, with his mouth curled up in a haughty look .

Among the royal nobles in the Qing Dynasty, Aixinjueluo Haoge was so amazing that he was three years older than his uncle Dorgon.

This is not just a simple question of eating for three more years. In terms of bravery and strategy, Hauge is not inferior to Dorgon.In terms of personal bravery and military exploits, Dorgon and Uncle Hauge can only be equal. To be fair, even Huang Taiji can't tell the difference between the two.

Both of them were recruited as teenagers, and they fought against various tribes in Mongolia, in the war against Korea, and used troops against Ming Dynasty many times.The 28-year-old Hauge has been named the Prince of Heshuosu, and the 25-year-old Dorgon is now the Prince of Heshuorui, and the two have roughly the same army.Hauge is the owner of the Zhenglan Banner, and Dorgon is the owner of the Zhengbai Banner.

The banner owner of the Eight Banners of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties is not simple. It is roughly equivalent to the commander-in-chief of the combat military region in later generations.

Huang Taiji regards these two people as his right-hand men, one is the eldest son and the other is a half-brother, these are also the two pillars of the Huang Taiji Group.This time, Huang Taiji's royal conquest brought them both.

They were suddenly attacked by an unknown Ming army. Of course, the top brass of the Tatars would not be flustered by this incident. Now Hauge volunteered.

Huang Taiji nodded, and the majestic Hauge in silver helmet and silver armor rushed over with 1 cavalry, carrying a saber in his hand.

The 600 Guanning iron cavalry rushing to the front were killing the Tartars. When they were handy, they ran into their nemesis, Haoge's Zhenglan Banner elite.

If we talk about the Tartars, they were flustered by the sudden attack just now, and suffered a great loss.This kind of situation no longer exists in the battle. The elite of the Eight Banners, who have been tempered by the flames of war, have now adapted to it.

Now that the two sides had fought so hard, Zu Keyong and Hauge fought in the melee.

Zu Ke is brave and mighty, his big ax is powerful and heavy, and Hauge is not good at it. His horse-chopping knife has a special shape, similar to the simple knife in the Northern Song Dynasty. Wide and five or six feet long, it looks creepy with a cold light.In a short period of time, it was hard to tell the winner between the two.

But the Tartars had a lot of people after all, and in the blink of an eye, they formed a tendency to encircle the Ming army.

At this moment, Lin Yi led nearly a thousand cavalry and rushed up.The bay red horse is like charcoal, which is particularly conspicuous in the sun, with its four hooves spreading like flying clouds and fog.

The most conspicuous thing is his Qinglong Yanyue Saber, he is wearing an iron helmet and armor, and his battle robe is flying. Lin Yi drags the sword backwards. At first glance, he looks like Guan Gong reborn.

The soldiers of the Ming army on the top of the city were stunned. The fiery red satin banner with Lin characters behind Lin Yi reminded Emperor Chongzhen, Yang Sichang and others of a person...

Lin Yi's horse was fast, and he rushed into the team of Tartars in the blink of an eye like an arrow. The Qinglong Yanyue Saber poured down like a river, and an arc-shaped knife flashed. .

The horses rushed forward, trampling on the blood and corpses of the Tartars. Lin Yi danced the Qinglong Yanyue Saber away. The arc-shaped lights of the swords and the cross lights appeared alternately in the air.Where the sword and horse pass, it is like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.

On Lin Yi's left and right sides and behind him, first of all his more than 100 guards, Xiaoying, Zhang Hua, Er Hu, He Tao, Wang Qi, Dong Sheng, Gan Bao, Jiang Xingyuan are not far from Lin Yi's left and right.Behind them are [-] Guan Ning iron cavalry, charging collectively, no one can stop them.

At this time, Zu Keyong had already lost to Hauge, because it was no longer a one-on-one fight between two people, and the Tatars won by relying on their numbers. A dozen or so Tartars, including Hauge, trapped the four of Zu Keyong among.

Because Zu Keyong also had personal guards, these were his three personal bodyguards, Yang Fang, Zhao Sheng, Zhao Tingshou, and Zu Keyong's other personal guards were killed one after another.

When Hauge and the others were about to make dumplings for Zu Keyong and others, there was a melodious sound of knives, and the Dazi beside Hauge fell off their horses one after another.

Hauge was furious, and with a black horse, he slashed at Ji Dong with a saber.
