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

Chapter 327 Going all the way, I will not send you far

Countless iron cavalry of the Tartars rushed towards the Ming army like overwhelming the sky.

At this time, Lin Yi put the Musketeer Battalion at the front. Rows of soldiers of the Musketeer Battalion stood upright like poles, raising their guns to aim at the surging Tartars.

"Fire!"

When the distance was 300 meters, Dong Sheng gave an order, and the muskets of the Ming army rang.

This time, the Musketeer Battalion was divided into three rows. After the first row finished shooting, they squatted down and began to load ammunition. The second row pulled the trigger to shoot, then the second row squatted down, and the third row fired.

After the third row finished shooting, they squatted down to load ammunition, but at this time the bullets in the first row were loaded, and they stood up and continued to shoot.

In this way, thousands of firearm battalions of the Ming army formed a continuous firepower, and the gunshots sounded like popping beans for a while.

The Tartars rushing forward were shot and fell off their horses one after another. Some of them were beaten into sieves with their horses. The Tartar charge team suddenly became a little confused.

But the Eight Cavalry is indeed a well-trained team, and they have a set of defensive measures against the firearms of the Ming army.

The generals of the Qing soldiers were neither confused nor retreating. They quickly waved the command flags in their hands, and the Tartar cavalry dispersed, and continued to charge forward in an irregular S-shaped curve, and some even back forward.

These Manchu Tartars naively thought that they could get close to the Ming army in this way. As long as they could break through the Ming army's musket defense line, they would have a chance to disperse and defeat the musket battalion.

They didn't know that they were wrong this time, the Ming army they were facing now was not the old Ming army, but the new Ming army trained by Lin Yi himself.

The gun battalion in front of us has advanced weapons and unified self-generating flintlock guns. According to the original historical development, this gun was not equipped with the army more than 200 years later.

In other words, Ji Dong has advanced this firearm for more than 200 years.

Advanced firearms are one aspect, and these musketeers are well-trained, and their guns are fast and straight, and they can shoot wherever they point.

Therefore, even though these Tartars dispersed and changed their way of charging, turning left and right, they were still the targets of the Ming army, and they still could not escape the fate of shooting down their horses.

The soldiers of the Ming Army's Musketeer Battalion were working in a stream. After two rounds, the Tartars had already suffered casualties everywhere. However, under the personal command of Dorgon and others, they still rushed forward desperately, but the speed of the charge slowed down significantly.

Now the distance between the two sides is about [-] meters, and they are already within the range of bow and arrow shooting.

Of course, these Tartars couldn't be willing to be targets, and now they began to show their strengths, drawing bows and shooting arrows while charging.

For a while, arrows flowed like rain.

In addition to the musketeer battalion, the archers of the Ming army were of course not idle. They stood still and shot arrows at the charging Tartars.

Arrows rained like shuttles in the sky, and soldiers on both sides were knocked down by bows and arrows from time to time.

It went on like this for a few more minutes, and the bows, arrows and muskets of both sides had almost exerted their power. The so-called brave and invincible Tartars finally rushed in front of the Ming army, and the two sides began to engage in hand-to-hand combat.

The standard battalion of the Ming army, the invincible battalion, has been waiting impatiently for a long time.Ji Dong still put these two teams with the strongest fighting power at the front. Even though they have been fighting for a long time just now, they are still fighting fiercely, because Ji Dong has exhausted their endurance through the usual long-distance running training. They have practiced to the extreme, which means that these two battalions are especially capable of fighting and enduring hardships.

In addition, the musket battalion don't think muskets can't show their power, but they can use bayonets. The length of the gun barrel plus the length of the bayonet is a long knife that is longer than a single knife. If you are not used to bayonets, you can use the gun barrel as an iron bar.

This kind of bayonet is aimed at a Tartar, and it can stab, stab, and kill even a man and a horse. When this kind of iron rod is swung up and hits a Tartar on the head, the head will leak immediately, and it cannot be avoided even with a helmet on.

If it is hit on the horse's head, the brain will still be cracked, and if it is hit on the horse's leg, even a comminuted fracture will not be cured in the top three hospitals in later generations.

The horse turned over, and the Tartars on the horse couldn't sit still.

At this time, the most powerful battalions had 2 troops, and they had already killed the 2 Tartars, leaving corpses strewn all over the field. Lin Yi didn't just have the 2 troops, but the 10 troops did not include the guard battalions that did not participate in the battle. , Artillery battalion, and logistics support and supply battalion, there are now 8 to [-] horses, and the remaining tens of thousands of horses have all gone up.

They were behind the Invincible Battalion of the Biaoying Musket Battalion, and cleaned up the fallen Tartars, and those who survived were given a knife.

Therefore, within an hour of this scuffle, only a few thousand of the 2 elite Eight Banners of the Qing army remained.

Dorgon, Xihan, and Sony fought desperately. Although they were extremely brave, it was difficult for them alone to save the defeat.

In the end, Dorgon saw that it was too late to continue the fight, and the whole army must be wiped out.It seems that the Field Eight Banners Army is not an opponent of the Ming Army, and if they are surrounded by them for a while, the consequences will be disastrous.

Thinking of this, Dorgon immediately ordered: "Withdraw! Quickly withdraw!"

The surviving Tartars could be considered to have heard such an order, and they wanted to retreat a long time ago, and some had already retreated, but that was not called retreat, because there was no order, or they simply called fleeing.

The Tartars are Tartars after all, and the people on horseback are as fast as the wind. This is unconvincing. The Han people are incomparable. The attack is fast, and the retreat or escape is even faster.

How far Dorgon and the others ran in the blink of an eye.But none of the Ming soldiers behind came after them, so they reined in their horses and looked back.

At this moment, Ji Dong's shouts sounded behind the sound.

"Dorgon is going well all the way, forgive Lin for not sending him off!"

Ji Dong's shouts were collectively amplified by his soldiers. Thousands of people raised their knives and guns, waving and shouting.

"Dorgon is going well all the way, forgive us for not sending..."

Thousands of people were furious, and their voices pierced the sky, shaking the opposite mountain to echo.

But these Tartars were very angry, especially Dorgon's angry nose was crooked, his body was covered in blood, his face was covered with sweat, a mixture of blood and mud, his face was almost like opening a grocery store.

He rushed over with 2 horses and was definitely not here to die. Seeing that these Ming soldiers could not be defeated and the casualties were so heavy, he decided to lure the enemy by retreating.

But the Ming army did something weird today, so they just didn't chase.Don't they usually like to chase after winning a battle? Now they are so embarrassed when they lose, but the Ming army watched them run today, and there was no one chasing them. Don't give it away, it's too annoying!
"My lord, tell my subordinates to lure the enemy again." Sony panted.

"It's useless, the ghost surnamed Lin, he has already seen our intentions." Dorgon shook his head.

"My lord, what should we do? We have lost so many soldiers and horses?" Xi Han, whose face was covered with blood, was slashed on his arm. Now he moved slightly, grinning in pain.

When Dorgon saw Ji Dong's men and horses, he was still shouting at him, his face was livid with anger, but there was nothing he could do.

Sonny said: "My lord, if they don't come to chase, and don't withdraw their troops, we can move the artillery barracks seven or eight miles forward, and then we can get these Ming troops and bombard these southern barbarians with red-clothed cannons."

Dorgon still shook his head. Obviously, the artillery battalion of the Ming army did not arrive. In this case, they moved the cannons forward, and the Ming army would not wait there as cannon fodder. The Ming army would definitely retreat, and they Must move forward, otherwise it is still futile.

But the speed at which they moved forward could never catch up with the retreat of the Ming army, because the Ming army advanced lightly, while they were heavy troops.After all, it was ultimately in vain.

At this moment, Dorgon, Sony and others all shook their heads, unable to do anything, Xihan frowned even more, and the pain on his body made him grin his teeth in pain.

Finally, Dorgon gritted his teeth and went back with the defeated soldiers. After running for nearly ten miles, he stopped at the foot of the mountain and asked his soldiers to rectify their troops.

He sat in front of the artillery camp below the mountain and waited for the fighter plane.

But Dorgon is not stupid, and he is definitely not waiting in vain at this time.Because Dorgon had already released two partial divisions in advance, that is, the 2 horses led by Prince Su Haoge and Aobai, the first warrior of the Qing Dynasty and the commander of the guards.If they succeed and attack the Ming army from behind, and then charge forward, they will still be able to make the Ming army suffer from the enemy from the front and rear, and it will be difficult to care about it. From this point of view, this battle still has a chance of turning over.
