Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 325 Duoduo: The Ming army is really defeated, and my Eight Banners warriors are really invincible

The border guards were wearing plate armor and flying saucer hats. The Eight Banners Army naturally saw them, but they didn't know that the plate armor and flying saucer hats were made of steel, so they thought they were made of iron.

After all, steel was extremely rare in the late Ming Dynasty. Even if it was used to make weapons, it was generally only used for blades and gun heads.

Using steel to make armor was simply unimaginable in the late Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, when these infantry and vests of the Eight Banners Army shot heavy arrows at the Ming army in the trench at a distance of more than ten steps, they were quite confident, and they were waiting to hear the screams of the Ming army.

'What's the use of bright and beautiful armor?It's better to have an extra layer of armor. '

This is the thought in the hearts of many Eight Banners infantry and vests.

Because in the Eight Banners Army, the more layers of armor, the higher the status.

Generally, the armor is only covered with a layer of cotton armor.

Vests are mostly worn in two layers of armor, usually cotton armor and Zhajia, and silk clothes that can protect against arrows and guns may be worn inside.

Further up are the red and white Baya soldiers, that is, the red armor soldiers and white armor soldiers. They are basically wearing three layers of armor in battle...

Due to the above cognitive habits, the Eight Banners Army naturally did not think that a set of plate armor in the Ming Army was useful.

As a result, after a burst of heavy arrows were shot, they didn't hear many screams from the Ming army, but instead heard a lot of "dang dang" sounds of gold and iron.

The armor of the Ming army can block our heavy arrows in a dozen steps?

Just when a group of Eight Banners soldiers were shocked by this speculation, they heard shouts of orders from the trench.

"Get out of the trenches and throw grenades!"

A very small number of people in the Manchurian Eight Banners Army knew some Chinese and understood these words, but because they didn't understand what a grenade was, they couldn't react for a while.

Then from the shooting hole, I saw a large number of Ming soldiers rushing out of the trench, throwing an iron ball with a handle, and there were sparks on the iron ball.

Seeing this, some Eight Banners soldiers were eager to take the head, and Zhang Gong shot at the Ming army who had come out of the trench.

Some also reacted, guessing that the grenade would explode when it fell, and hurried to the side to hide.

For a while, the Eight Banners soldiers behind the chariot were quite chaotic.

In this situation, dozens of grenades fell down, blowing up the Eight Banners soldiers immediately.

Faced with the grenade bombardment, those infantry and vests were slightly better, and most of them were injured. Only a few were killed by the iron and porcelain pieces in the grenade splashed into the throat, or were directly bombed by the exploding grenade ( Shock) die.

But the coats and slaves, who had more people than the soldiers of the Eight Banners, were miserable. They basically had no armor protection. After these dozens of grenades exploded, not many of them could stand up.

After a successful blow, the Ming army did not bypass the chariot to expand the results of the battle.

Because after the first batch of chariots, there were other chariots and Eight Banners soldiers approaching one after another.

In addition, in the south direction of the city, Huang Degong's department made smooth progress with the help of artillery.Therefore, the west side of the Ming army only needs to hold temporarily.

What's more, Zeng Ying and Yang Zhan have been implementing the strategy of showing weakness to lure the enemy, trying to lure the Eight Banners Army into the trenches of the Ming Army.

But the two of them didn't know that the fighting power displayed by the frontier guards had already greatly surprised the Eight Banners Army.

Tulai followed a car at the back. After a burst of explosions, he learned that there were heavy casualties ahead. He immediately shouted angrily: "Since we have arrived at the Ming army's position, what are you stopping for? Let me rush in!"

In fact, he just realized it - the army was used to the way of dealing with the Ming army in the past, thinking that by approaching the Ming army with a chariot, a few rounds of heavy arrows could defeat the Ming army.

But the Ming army in front of us is obviously different from the past, and its artillery is sharp, so the Eight Banners army can only rush in and fight tough battles.

In fact, the chariots that were the first to approach the trenches of the Ming army could not move forward.

One is blocked by trenches; the other is that in the battle just now, [-] to [-]% of the soldiers and slaves were killed or injured. There were not enough people, and the carts could not move at all.

After listening to Tulai's latest order, these Eight Banners armored soldiers and the remaining coats and slaves immediately rushed to the trenches of the Ming army with rattan cards...

In the Ming army's position, a military order was conveyed down through the generals at all levels——

"There is an order from the general town, let us retreat when we see the Qing army, and act as if we are running away in a panic, luring them into the position!"

Although the second and third towns of the Border Guard Army were not all elite when they were reorganized, after more than half a year of training and many battles, they have already become a truly elite force.

Although the tactic of pretending to be defeated and luring the enemy to go deep is not the specialty of the border guards, there is no problem in executing it.

After the soldiers of each sentry and team responded, they saw Qing troops rushing into the trenches in twos and threes.

Many soldiers immediately showed a look of being frightened, and hurriedly fled to the trench behind.

If it weren't for the scruples on the impact on the battlefield, someone would definitely shout "The Qing army is coming, run away".

Even if you can't shout this classic line, it can't stop some soldiers' desire to express.

Some people deliberately fell on their horses and then got up and continued to run; others ran and rolled and crawled, just like the way the Ming army fled when they met the Qing army in the past.

The Qing army rushing over first saw the criss-cross trenches in the Ming army's position, like a maze, they were stunned and a little scared.

Seeing that the Ming army fled in embarrassment in fright, and even made a lot of ugly appearances, he burst out laughing, feeling suddenly relieved.

That's right, this is the Ming army we are familiar with!

In addition, many Eight Banners soldiers, like the generals above, believed that this Ming army only showed its power for a while because of its sharp artillery, and believed that it must not be an opponent of the Eight Banners Army in close combat.

So at this time, seeing the Ming army fleeing in embarrassment, there was no doubt, and driven by the heart of striving for success, they chased after it without hesitation.

As soon as they chased, the Eight Banners Army who entered the Ming army's position behind them naturally did not hesitate, and also chased them in.

Some people even shouted, "The Ming army is defeated!"

"Come on!"

"Chase chase chase!"

"Take off the armor of the Ming army and steal their artillery!"

All of a sudden, the Eight Banners soldiers who had been beaten a little weakly by the artillery and grenades of the Ming army immediately regained their image of warriors, and entered the Ming army's position one by one like wolves, for fear that they would not be able to get their heads if it was too late.

As the forward commander, Tulai also didn't think there was a problem.

Since they entered the customs, all the Ming soldiers fled, and some even knelt down and surrendered.

Therefore, in his opinion, it is normal for the Ming army to run away when they see them.

So he laughed loudly and said: "Send the order, kill the Ming army! It's best to rush to the Ming army's camp and capture their bird to supervise the country!"

"Whoo!"

On the west hillside.

Duoduo saw through the binoculars that after the Eight Banners warriors rushed into the Ming army's position, the Ming army's flag quickly retreated, and the Eight Banners warriors rushed in, and he couldn't help laughing.

"Hahaha! Just say it, the Ming army thinks that they can defeat our Eight Banners army with a batch of Xiyi artillery. It's naive.

Look, now seeing my Eight Banners warriors rushing into the position, they immediately collapsed.

Fortunately, this king has prepared a whole day of calculations, and now it seems that this Ming army can be wiped out today! "

Although Nu Shan and Han Dai couldn't see the battlefield four miles away, they couldn't help frowning when they heard what Duoduo said.

"King Yu, the Ming army was defeated so quickly, could there be any deceit?" Han Dai reminded with a sullen face.

Nu Shan said: "Judging from the performance of the Ming army before, it should not be so vulnerable. It was indeed defeated a little too quickly."

The smile on Duoduo's face disappeared, showing displeasure, and said: "How fast? How many casualties have they caused my Eight Banners army with artillery?
Do you think it's normal for them to kill a large number of Eight Banners warriors rushing into battle?

Besides, my Eight Banners army is going south this time, where is the Ming army not fleeing?
If the king is as hesitant as you are every time, I am afraid that if he has not left Xuzhou now, how could he hit the city of Yangzhou in a short time? ! "

Dodo's words are not without reason.

In history, one of the reasons why the Qing army was able to move southward was that it was too sudden and too fast, and the Ming army had no time to reflect it, and even important cities like Yangzhou and Nanjing had no time to send troops back to aid.

If in history, Duoduo went south to grind and chirp, maybe the Hongguang court could survive for another year or a half.

In addition, after Duo Duo entered the customs, he made great achievements in the west and south expeditions, and he is the closest brother of Dorgon, and now he is very majestic.

Even though Han Dai is the elder of the Jueluo clan and Nu Shan is also a veteran in the army, they dare not question his judgment anymore.

Seeing that the two were silent, Duoduo waved his hands and said, "Pass down the king's military order, and the whole army will attack. Be sure not to let the Ming army stand still!"

"Whoo!"

dong dong dong

The drums of the Qing army suddenly sounded hurriedly, and the Eight Banners troops still in the area between the west mountain slope and the Ming army camp accelerated one after another.

Many of them even abandoned their chariots and rode forward on horses.

Boluo, who was lucky enough to survive the attack of the Ming army's squatting cannons, couldn't help being a little dazed when he heard the drumbeat and saw this scene again.

Looking at the Ming army's position, he asked with a puzzled face, "Is the Ming army defeated?"
