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

Chapter 400 Steady Victory
Flowing arrows shuttled, dense like rain, and people on both sides kept falling.

But there is no doubt that the Qing army fell the most. This is because the Ming army was on the defensive at this time, while the Qing army was actively attacking.Coupled with the continuous firing of several rows of muskets by the Ming army just now, the Qing army was already dead and wounded everywhere.

However, the Qing army was already brave, and today they also went all out. Dorgon personally took the command, and Boluo, Sony and other high-level generals of the Qing army personally led the charge. Therefore, these Qing troops were not afraid of death and went forward bravely. , The front row fell down, and the rear trampled on the blood and corpses in front of them and rushed to kill them.

After all, the Ming army at this time only had a few thousand people, while the Manchu and Qing Tartars had more than 2 people. Of course, the part of the more than 2 was the return of the Mongolian Tartars who had just retreated. Seeing their large number of reinforcements arriving, they came again. The backbone, intending to win a round.

Although the firearms of the Ming army are powerful, but because of the small number of people, after all, the firepower is limited. If the two sides compete with bows and arrows, the Ming army is of course no match for the Tartars at this time, so the distance between the two sides is approaching.

The intention of the Tartars is obvious, as long as they break through the Ming army's musket and bow defense line, then their 2 cavalry will be wiped out as soon as their [-] cavalry pass by the thousands of Ming troops in front of them.

"Gan Bao and Jiang Xingyuan lead the headquarters, rush for me—"

However, at this moment Ji Dong issued the order to attack.

"No." After the two generals got the order, they were indescribably happy.The second general was aggressive by nature, and this time he risked violating Song Xiance's military order, so he came to charge.

So the second general led thousands of troops to meet the Tartars and rushed over, letting the wind of arrows whistling in his ears, the second general charged forward with his horse.

When they were still a few feet away from the Tartars, the two generals jumped off their horses according to the previous style of play, because these two generals were not good at charging into battle on horseback.They can ride on horseback, but when they are in war, they have a feeling that they can't use their horses. In this regard, they are not as good as the nomads.

After the two generals jumped off the horse, one waved the iron pole in his hand, and the other waved the big shovel in his hand. He spread his legs and walked like flying. It can advance and retreat freely, which is much better than riding on horseback.

At this time, the Tartars also put away their bows and arrows. Because the distance was too close, they replaced them with short long-pole machetes, and the next step was to slash at close quarters.

Swords and swords, screams, dead and wounded, blood and flesh flying everywhere.

The battalion of Gan Bao and Jiang Xingyuan had just rushed up to fight the Tartars, when the second echelon of the Ming army came up, it was the standard battalion and the invincible battalion of the supervisor Song Xiance, and they joined the battle after arriving .

These two battalions had more than 1 troops, and Gamble's battalion was equal to more than [-] troops.

This time, Ji Dong led the women's battalion and the newly arrived guard battalion instead of charging, but watched the battle from behind.

"Brother Lin, let's go kill the Tartars too." Xiaoying and Zhezhe saw that they would not have their share this time, and they couldn't wait to ask for it.

Although Xiaoying is very tired now, her hatred for the Tartars made her forget everything.Because of the fierce battle just now, she lost several good sisters in the women's battalion.

"Not busy." Ji Dong's mouth curved into an arc.

For the Tartars in front of him, his 1 horsemen are enough, and Lin Yi knows that he doesn't need him, the supervisor of the country, and these female battalion soldiers to take action.

Because the 1 horses are the Standard Battalion, the Invincible Battalion, and the Musketeer Battalion. This is the most powerful army cultivated by Lin Yi, and the equipment is also first-class.

Most of the men and horses in the three battalions are equipped with new-style self-propelled flintlock guns, and now they all shoot guns on horseback.

These three battalions have fought against the Eight Banners Army of the Qing Army more than once, and it cannot be said that they have won every battle. So far they have only lost one time.

It was not long ago that outside the capital of the Qing Dynasty, they encountered a division of 1 King Qin from Mobei Mongolia and the Horqin tribe, and they had no defeats other than that.

Now these camel artillery teams and armored warriors have been paralyzed. The sniper battle just now was very beautiful. If they can destroy this team, they have no worries at all in the immediate battle.

Therefore, Lin Linyi didn't need to invest too much troops at all, and he was already sure of victory.

On the battlefield in front of us, the Eight Banners of the Qing army were screaming, and the swords and horses raised high were coming like the wind, but before they rushed to the soldiers of the Ming army, they saw the muskets in the hands of the Ming army raised and fired. , No matter how fierce the Qing army was, it still fell.

After the muskets were let go, the two sides fought, and the Qing army still couldn't take advantage.

The battlefield is full of shots of the Ming army beheading the Qing army.

Therefore, there was no suspense in this fight. The battle did not last for half an hour, and the Eight Banners Army changed from a charge to a retreat, unable to withstand the Ming army's attack at all.

Boluo, Sony and Tinhan repeatedly organized several charges in an attempt to reverse the defeat, but all ended in failure.

But these three generals were not given in vain. Boluo and Xihan led their troops to withstand the attack of the Ming army, and Sony led a team to go around the enemy's rear.

Unexpectedly, Sony's team was intercepted by Ji Dong's guard battalion as soon as they rushed out, because Lin Yi was watching the battle from behind, not watching the fun.

He saw Sony's team leave the main force from the high place behind and go around to the side, so he guessed Sony's intentions and decisively ordered Zhang Hua to attack with the guard battalion.

Lin Yi's guard battalion was more powerful. Zhang Hua rushed over with muskets, bows and arrows. Before he had time to start a hand-to-hand fight, Sony's team was scattered, leaving a lot of casualties, and the rest fled. .

At this time, on the frontal battlefield, Boluo and Xihan couldn't hold on anymore. Due to the hard battle just now, the casualties were heavy, and the number of soldiers and horses decreased sharply. Lost like a mountain.

This battle has been fought until now, and the defeat of the Qing army is irreversible, and the gods are powerless.

Seeing that the Qing army retreated, corpses were strewn across the field, and blood flowed into rivers, Dorgon wanted to charge into the battle himself, but was persuaded by Fan Wencheng.

"My lord, don't be impulsive. Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. If you keep the green hills, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood. Take a step back and see the sea and the sky."

Dorgon calmed down and felt that this was a golden word, because now he clearly knew that if he rushed forward, even if the whole army was wiped out and fought to the end, it would be difficult to save the defeat.

He also saw that a large number of reinforcements from the Ming army came up, and they had nothing to do.

Now they are no match for the Ming army in the field, and he has long accepted this reality.

In fact, after the defeat of the camel artillery team and armored warriors, they should admit defeat in time, rectify the team and leave to preserve their strength.

It's a pity that he became angry just now and planned to put all his eggs in one basket. Now it seems that he was too restless just now, so he should listen to Fan Wencheng as soon as possible, and the loss of some troops will also be reduced.

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and took the remnants of the defeated generals, and fled like a wind and clouds.

The Ming army chased and killed them for a while, and they also captured the soldiers and horses in the evening.

At this time, two teams drove over again, one was Lin Yi's artillery battalion, and they came from the place where Song Xiance and the others ambush just now, 5 miles away.

The other is the 15 Ming army, including the Ming army's allied Mongolian army and Korean army, including infantry and cavalry.

These 10,000+ Ming troops came from Haicheng.

Ji Dong is acting as a sniper here, and personally directing and supervising the battle.

Of course, the artillery battalion and the Ming army in Haicheng were not idle. They sent spies along the way to keep a close eye on the situation on the battlefield.

Wang Qi, the commander of the artillery battalion, saw that Song Xiance, Gan Bao, Jiang Xingyuan, Zhang Hua and the female battalion generals had all rushed out, leaving only 2000 of them to collect 200 cannons.

Just in case, Wang Qi also ordered 2000 of his men to be prepared. If the battle ahead was tight, he would leave a small number of troops to guard the fort, and lead 2000 men to rush over. arrive.

But what they got was the news that the Ming army had won, so Wang Qi was very happy, and he didn't move with more than 2000 people.

But at this time, the troops from Haicheng arrived, 10,000+ Ming troops, including Mongolian troops, and Korean troops. They were ordered to retreat to Haicheng in order to confuse the Qing army.

But Lord Jian Guo is on the battlefield ahead, how can they stay in Haicheng and sit back and relax?As early as the sniper battle on Ji Dong's side started, they got a report that the original 2 people guarding Haicheng were not moving, but these 10,000+ people had successfully completed the task of confusing the Qing army, so they drove out of the city to come to support. Make sure that this battle is foolproof and that their Lord Supervisor is safe and sound.

Of course, these were Song Xiance's arrangements, which had been arranged in advance.

When the 10,000+ Ming army was five miles away from the battlefield, that is, when they reached the artillery camp, Wang Qi told them that the battle ahead was basically over and the Tartars had been beaten away.

Wang Qi joined forces with them to meet Lin Yi.

Lin Yi sent an order to set up camp on the spot, because it was going to be dark soon, and from last night to now, Lin Yi also felt tired, so he decided to rest on the spot to rectify the soldiers and horses, and the battlefield still needed to be cleaned.

The 7 or [-] horses quickly divided the labor, some were in charge of setting up camp, some buried pots for cooking, some cleaned up the spoils, and medical officers treated the wounded.

By the third day, the results of each battalion were reported, including the number of casualties.

Counting the previous sniper battle, this battle lasted most of the day, annihilating nearly 2 Qing soldiers, and the spoils of war were piled up like mountains. The most meaningful thing is that a large number of camel guns and metal armor were seized in this battle.

Lin Yi ordered that these camel cannons should be repaired, including the wounded camels and armored horses, that they should be treated, and these metal armors should be stripped from the dead Tartars and horses, scrubbed clean and registered. Transport (rush) to Haicheng, take good care of it, maybe it will come in handy in the future.

Of course, the Ming army also had casualties in this battle. The women's battalion suffered 8 casualties, which were among the 35 snipers and auxiliary soldiers.In addition, the male battalion added the other battalions together and caused more than 1000 casualties.

Lin Yi told the quartermaster that all of them should be registered and recorded, and those who should be credited should be credited, and rewards and promotions should be cashed in later, and those that should be compensated will be compensated.

At this time, Gan Bao, Jiang Xingyuan, and Zhezhe came to Song Xiance to plead guilty.

Song Xiance looked at Lin Yi, and the little black face laughed: "This time you are lucky, you are not guilty but you are credited with saving him, but Song did not plan well, so he has to plead guilty to Lord Jianguo, and almost put him in danger environment, a certain crime."

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Mr. Why did you say such a thing? A wise man will make a mistake if he thinks about it. This time, Mr. has contributed a lot, and I still remember the first one, hehe..."

After these three days of rest, the Ming soldiers and horses were back to life, and all the post-war matters had been dealt with, so Lin Yi planned to take advantage of the victory and march into Shengjing.

At this time, a scout came to report that Dorgon and the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang had left Shengjing with their soldiers and clansmen and headed towards Hetuala last night.

Lin Yi was delighted when he heard that, and immediately passed down an edict: "Soldiers enter Shengjing!"
