The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 697

After the two rounds of fighting by the Ming army, nearly 30 Qing soldiers were killed and wounded in all directions on the scene, but the Qing soldiers were still charging. The nearest one was less than [-] meters away from the Ming army, and the Ming army had already entered their range.

However, due to the two rounds of attacks by the Ming army, too many horses and people were killed and injured on the scene, and the subsequent charge must not be so smooth.

If the Qingqi faced other Ming troops, they would start shooting heavy arrows when they entered 50 meters, and then rush to melee after shooting the Ming troops.

But they fought with Ding Yi's soldiers countless times, so they naturally knew that it would not do any good to fight against the Ming army, and they would only die in vain.

"Chong Chong Chong." The Qing soldiers had no one to shoot arrows, and rushed forward one after another.

Their cavalry rushed all the way, and Ding Yi couldn't stop it even after two rounds of four-stage strikes.

After paying more than 2000 casualties, he rushed directly to the Ming army formation.

"Master?" Cao Bianjiao's subordinates all trembled.

After all, they rarely saw that the Ming army could resist under the charge of tens of thousands of Qing cavalry.

Some people are even thinking, how will they escape when the Ming army formation is broken?
Cao Bianjiao sensed the thoughts of his subordinates, and suddenly said sharply: "Tell the brothers to lead the horses and protect Zongbing Xu's horses."

More than 3000 of them are still in the formation, and Xu's soldiers are blocking the periphery. If they can't protect Xu's horse, what face will Cao Bianjiao have when he sees Xu Fuzuo: "The lips are dead and the teeth are cold. Only when we are in the same boat can we break out of the encirclement. We all Good man, don't be a coward, follow the orders of this town, and rush forward at any time—"

Cao Ying's generals are serious, especially Cao Bianjiao's last sentence, everyone is a man, don't be a coward.

All the generals stared at the spear and shield soldiers in the front row of the Ming army. They put their shields on the ground one after another, then squatted down, and directly pressed their bodies against the shields. Outside.

The shields of Ding Yi's troops are the biggest shields they have ever seen. When erected on the ground, they are almost waist-high.

The Ming army had two rows of spear and shield soldiers, and the back row put a shield on the ground, and then ignored it, holding guns and looking ahead.

Qingqi came and went like the wind, almost the Ming army squatted down, and at the same time as putting down their shields, Qingqi had already rushed to their front.

"Throw it away." Ming Jun suddenly shouted.

Whoosh, whoosh, a thousand throwing axes were thrown out.

The Ming army in the back row first held the gun, then threw the axe, and immediately took the gun back.

Fluttering, the Qing riders in the front row were hit by the ax one after another, some fell down, and some were fine, and continued to charge forward.

Bang, boom, a lot of horses hit the shield, and horses jumped straight up and stepped over the shield.

The cavalry collided heavily with the infantry.

People at the scene turned on their backs, blood spurting.

Many Ming soldiers in the front row vomited blood when they were hit by horses, and even flew upside down and fell down.

But most of the veterans are in the front, and they are very experienced. When squatting behind the shield, use your arms to check, and don't use your body to resist hard. This way, at most, your arms will be broken and you will not suffer internal injuries.

The impact force of Qingqi is the strongest in the first wave, and because there are a large number of horses and people in the middle, the speed will slow down, and it will be fine to hit it.

Moreover, the first wave was dropped a lot by the hatchets of the Ming army, so the overall casualties of the Ming army were not large.

Many war horses collide after losing their owners, and their strength will become even smaller.

But despite this, many Ming soldiers were thrown out by both rows, and most of them could still stand up, but in a short period of time, there were many gaps in the scene.

Xu Fuzuo only brought [-] spear shield soldiers, and this wave also suffered heavy losses, but fortunately, Cao Bianjiao's cavalry was there. If there were no Cao Bianjiao, it is estimated that this wave of shock would have been pierced by the Qing soldiers.

Cao Bianjiao had already prepared, and Xu Fuzuo asked him to fight the second wave, which also reduced his casualties.

Seeing that the first wave of impact was blocked by the Ming army with their bodies and shields, Cao Bianjiao was also excited: "Brothers, the infantry in Dongjiang Town can block Jiannu, let's not be underestimated, let me charge—"

"Chong..." Ever since Cao's troops followed Ding Yi's soldiers and watched them continue to inflict heavy damage on the Qing soldiers, they had long been ignited with endless fighting spirit.

"Kill." Cao Bu rushed forward and blocked the gun soldiers one after another.

Everyone knows that it is up to the gun and shield soldiers and them to buy time for the gun soldiers to reload.

The shouts and killings on the scene were loud, and the entire battlefield in front of Songshan was tens of miles long and several miles wide. Only here was the most intense fighting. There are many unmanned horses and dead and wounded Qing soldiers in front, and the subsequent Qing soldiers will be affected.

Insufficient successors, Xu Fuzuo's pikemen and Cao Bianjiao's cavalry cooperated with each other, one cutting at the top and the other stabbing at the bottom.

Qingqi fell off their horses one after another, screaming incessantly.

Of course, the Qing soldiers and Ding Yi's soldiers and horses also gained experience. At this time, the front row could not stand on the horse. The front row was full of their own horses and men.

Countless Qing soldiers in front jumped off their horses one after another, and then rushed up on foot.

Those who are clever will fight with Cao Bianjiao's soldiers and horses, but they don't like to fight with Xu Fuzuo's soldiers and horses.

Xu's soldiers and horses don't talk about martial ethics, and their spears are very long and densely packed.

A group of Qing soldiers had just rushed forward, and five or six long spears came in front of them.

It is useless for the Qing soldiers to raise their shields, and it is not as long as the opponent to stab them with a gun.

The key point is that the Ming army stabbed the top and the foot again.

This team of Qing soldiers was stabbed and overturned as soon as they rushed up, and after falling to the ground, there were still people crying and cursing.

At this time, Xu's rectangular outer formation was completely out of shape. The spear and shield soldiers and Cao's soldiers and horses were in front, and the blunderbuss soldiers were all reloading in the middle.

Cao Bianjiao slashed at a Qing soldier, took a few steps back, took a breath, and looked around.

But seeing that Xu's pikemen are very puzzled, they are often a pair of men and horses, with about ten people going up together.

Whoosh, whoosh, ten long spears stabbed forward, and the Qing soldiers were either knocked down or retreated, and the shields were useless.

They poke fast, shrink fast, squat down and poke down if they don't hit the top.

The Qing soldiers on the opposite side seemed helpless in the face of dense spears.

Many of the spearmen's deaths and injuries were shot out by the Qing soldiers in the rear with bows and arrows.

At first, he was very puzzled, other Ming armies also had pikemen, and he also had them in his own army, why the same pikemen would become so powerful in Ding Yi's hands.

Is it discipline, courage?

He had to admit that he still had to rely on these two things.

Because his soldiers and horses were fighting the Qing soldiers together with Xu's, and he soon saw the gap between the two sides.

Cao's team of soldiers and horses and Xu's team of spearmen were together, when suddenly there was a sound in the opposite air.

Cao's soldiers and horses looked up, swish, swish, and a wave of arrows came from the Qing soldiers in the back row.

Cao Bing suddenly turned pale with fear, some retreated, some looked for shields, and some desperately squeezed behind their companions.

But seeing that Xu's soldiers and horses were as motionless as a mountain, they continued to stab forward.

Php, puff, this wave of arrows shot in, and the scene screamed again and again.

"My mother." One of Cao's battalion soldiers screamed on the spot after being shot.

Xu's soldiers were shot, there were screams, but more of a muffled groan.

Cao Bing was in chaos, and the team of soldiers and horses collapsed immediately after being shot by the wave of arrows.

But Xu's soldiers and horses continued to move forward, and some of them had several arrows on their bodies, and they didn't care about it.

Of course, Xu Bing's armor is well-equipped, far superior to other Ming armies, and there are certain factors.

Because there are Cao's soldiers, horses and spear shield soldiers in front, after a while.

The blunderbuss of the Ming army reloaded quickly, and the third round started immediately.

"Come on." This meeting has been unable to command, Ming army pikemen and cavalry are mixed with Qing cavalry.

The blunderbusses shot freely, stepped forward one after another, or found a good position, and then raised their blunderbuss to choose their own targets.

Bang, bang, bang, sporadic musketeers fired, and more Qingqi fell from their horses.

Clean up the outer area first, and the sight will be improved immediately, and then the gunmen will follow up, bang bang bang, and you can hit farther away.

The Qing soldiers suffered again and again.

This wave of four thousand guns killed and wounded many.

Because the distance is too close, the forwards of both sides are intertwined, and there are people everywhere.

There were also Qing cavalry who rushed past the spearmen and cavalry of the Ming army and rushed into the blunderbuss, but were immediately punched into holes by the dense blunderbuss of the blunderbuss.

The four thousand blunderbusses continued continuously. In order to go to the southwest, Xu Fuzuo ordered [-] blunderbuss soldiers to attack the southwest, one by one, and followed the other Ming troops to fight.

Here Qingqi was beaten back step by step, with heavy casualties.

But Qingqi did not retreat in a deadly battle, and people rushed up one after another.

The Ming army also moved forward while fighting, with the spear shield soldiers and Cao Bianjiao's soldiers and horses blocking in front, and the musketeers looking for a gap to fight behind.

Prioritize cavalry and archers, and then fight close-range Manchu heavy infantry.

Both sides suffered heavy casualties. Of course, Qingqi died more. The Ming army switched to free shooting from the fourth round.

Among the besieging Qing soldiers were Mongolian soldiers, Jurchens, and a small number of Han troops. Among them, the Jurchens fought fiercely on foot. Many Jurchens dismounted and fought on foot after they rushed close. The other Ming troops were vulnerable to a single blow in front of them.

But Ding Yi's soldiers and horses are strictly disciplined and well-trained. In addition, the formation is maintained very well, and Cao Bianjiao's soldiers and horses help each other. There were casualties.

Generally speaking, the entire battle circle was slowly moved to the southwest, and the Qing soldiers could not block it. The Ming army marched forward while fighting, pressing every step of the way.

"Fight the archers, fight the Jurchen elite, generals." At this time, Ming army commanders kept calling.

This is one of their usual training subjects. When the battle is over and the enemy cannot be repelled, they will give priority to shooting archers, generals, and fierce generals.

There are many Jurchen white armors, the red armors charge forward, Tan Taizheng has the most elite yellow flags, and more than 100 white armors rushed up with the rear team just now.

If it was an ordinary Ming army, they would probably have dispersed them in a single wave.

But Ding Yi's soldiers and Cao's servants fought against each other. A dozen or so soldiers rushed in and killed many gunmen.

"Hit the white armor, hit the white armor." Some captains shouted.

The Ming army was bold, loaded the ammunition and rushed forward, even rushed to the side of the gun shield soldier, holding other people's heads, and fought at close range.

A white armor is fighting with two spear and shield soldiers.

"Ni Niang." Suddenly a gun came out from behind.

"Hiss..." Bai Jia raised his shield subconsciously.

Bang, the opponent hit the shield with a bludgeon, and at the same time the shield was torn apart, and with a puff, his forehead was also opened.

Whoosh, whoosh, two spears stabbed him in the chest again.

He fell down unwillingly.
