Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

Chapter 461 Become a laughing stock
Most of the corpses were horse corpses.

The corpses of the Mongolian cavalry were relatively few. Many Mongolian cavalrymen were just stunned or injured. There were even many Mongolian cavalrymen who managed to get up and ran back in a hurry.

Then, a scene that made Duoduo and the Qing army angry appeared.

I saw the two rows of Ming soldiers in front of the formation leaving the infantry formation one after another, holding self-produced guns with bayonets, and launched a brutal pursuit of these Mongolian cavalry running back.

After the sound of firing the guns, one team after another of the Mongolian cavalry fell to the ground.

Not only the Mongolian cavalry who tried to escape back, but also the Mongolian cavalry lying on the ground could not escape.

Whether it is dead or alive or pretending to be dead, the Ming army can't help but say that it is a knife when it comes close. Occasionally, when a Mongolian cavalry pretending to be dead resists, several or even a dozen Ming troops will immediately surround them and have a meal. The bayonet stabbed randomly.

"It's unreasonable, it's unreasonable!" Seeing that his lungs were about to explode, Duoduo killed someone in front of me?I, the ten kings of the Qing Dynasty, don't want to lose face?The Ming army is too much.

Duo Duo was really over the top, or lost his mind.

"Chorji, Norbu!" Duoduo ordered two Gushan Ezhens from Eight Banners Mongolia.

"Give me a charge, at all costs to crush the Ming army from the front, disrupt and disperse their formation, and then drive them to the prairie, and then drive all the Ming army to extinction, not letting a single one go, Don't let any one go, kill them, kill them, kill them, ahhh..."

Duoduo is becoming angry from embarrassment. He not only wants to annihilate the Ming army cavalry in front of him, but also uses a frontal attack to annihilate this Ming army cavalry in the shortest time. Only in this way can he restore the ten kings of the Qing Dynasty dignity!Otherwise, after today, he, the ten kings of the Qing Dynasty, will be reduced to a laughing stock.

He Luohui saw something was wrong, and wanted to step forward to dissuade him: "Master?"

"What?" Duoduo suddenly turned his head and stared at He Luohui fiercely, "What do you want to say?"

He Luohui paused in his heart, and quickly changed his words: "Why don't the slaves come on?"

"Don't worry yet!" Although Doduo was out of anger at this time, he didn't completely lose his mind. He still remembered to try his best to preserve the vitality of the Xiangbai Banner.

Dodo glared at Chuoerji and Noble again, and shouted sharply.

"The shame imposed on the Eight Banners Mongolia by the Ming army can only be washed away by the Eight Banners Mongolia itself."

"If you don't want to be ridiculed by others, look down on by others, and be a shame to the Mongolian Eight Banners, then pick up your bows and arrows, draw out your sabers, and kill all the Ming dogs on the opposite side! Kill, kill!"

Duduo's speech was still very contagious. The morale of the two Jiala Mongolian cavalrymen who had completed the assembly climbed to the peak in no time. Chuoerji and Noble raised their swords and drew three thousand Mongolian cavalrymen. Called, and then urged the horses to charge towards the infantry array of the Ming army from four directions.

This is already the fourth frontal charge of the Eight Banners Mongolia.

Duoduo is also a top iron, and he is on the bar with Hu Guozhu.

……

Seeing the Mongolian cavalry pounced again, Hu Guozhu still just sneered.

The assembly call sounded in the infantry formation, and the soldiers of the Ming army who were cleaning the battlefield outside retreated to the main formation one after another. Because the third row of soldiers was used as a benchmark, they quickly re-established their formation.

Then it is to check the equipment on the body and reload the ammunition.

Thousands of soldiers bit off the cardboard fixed-load ammunition one after another, first poured a small amount of priming powder into the priming room, then poured most of the remaining gunpowder from the muzzle into the barrel, and finally stuffed the paper shell and lead into it , and then press it to the bottom with a cleaning rod, and compact it firmly.

Then insert the cleaning rod back into the cleaning rod hole under the gun barrel, then pull the trigger, and finally wait quietly.

Looking up, I saw that the Mongolian cavalry had already entered within a hundred paces, and the horses' heads were churning and their iron hooves were churning. The momentum was still quite bluffing, but the Ming army's soldiers had already calmed down.

In fact, the Mongolian cavalry also made progress. This time, they began to draw their bows and shoot arrows as soon as they entered within a hundred steps. This time, they no longer used heavy arrows, but light arrows, and they were projectiles.

Eight Banners Mongolia is also Mongolia, and still retains the traditional craft of projectile.

Ever since, waves of arrows rained across the sky, raining down inside and outside the Ming army's hollow phalanx.

Many war horses were hit by arrows one after another and wailed in pain. However, because the reins were firmly tied to the horse posts, and the horse posts were deeply nailed into the ground, they couldn't escape even if they wanted to.

Many soldiers were also hit by arrows, but due to the tight protection of the cotton armor lined with iron sheets and the hat-shaped helmet, the impact was minimal, and the throwing of light arrows was not enough to penetrate the armor of the Ming army.

Hu Guozhu was also hit by several arrows, but he didn't pay attention to it at all.

In a blink of an eye, the Mongolian cavalry entered within fifty steps, and then were forced to slow down.

Because the grass is full of corpses of people and horses, if you don't slow down, you will be tripped.

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers of the Ming army began to advance again and again, firing the guns in turn, and the sound of the guns rang together.

Accompanied by the sound of gunfire and the smoke of gunpowder, the Mongolian cavalry fell down in rows.

In less than a quarter of an hour, two more Jiala [-] Mongolian cavalry fell in a pool of blood.

Although the Ming army also suffered casualties, the number was not large. The length and width of the hollow phalanx were reduced by about 20 meters, which meant that there were a total of more than a hundred casualties.

When the last Mongolian cavalry fell in a pool of blood, Hu Guozhu gave the order again without hesitation, ordering the two rows of Ming soldiers in front to go out to clean up the battlefield. The dead, or really dead Mongolian cavalry, couldn't help but make up for it first.

Occasionally, Mongolian cavalrymen would kneel down and beg for mercy, and they would also be executed.

Because the situation of the Ming army was not safe at this time, they did not dare to keep soldiers.

And such a cruel scene fell into Duo Duo's eyes.

It also fell into the eyes of Ao Bai, He Luohui, Bai Yintu and others.

He Luo will feel that he can no longer sit idly by and must stop Dodo.

In less than an hour, 23 Mongolian Eight Banners have been lost.

According to this rate of casualties, the 70 Niulu's Eight Banners Mongolia transferred to Xuzhou will last for at most two hours, and then it will be their turn to the Eight Banners Manchuria.

"Master, you can't go on like this."

"The firepower of the self-generated firecrackers of the Ming army is too dense."

"Just relying on the frontal impact of the cavalry, it is impossible to break through."

"We still have to adopt side attack tactics, using light arrows to continuously kill and injure the Ming army. After the Ming army's formation is disorganized, we can drive the army to cover up and kill, so that we can kill with one blow."

"Okay." Dodo has also calmed down by this time.

Now what he needs to consider is no longer whether to lose face or not.

If you continue to allow the casualties of the Eight Banners Mongolia to expand, you may be expelled from the banner.

The Eight Banners Mongolia quickly changed its tactics, and began to circle around the infantry array of the Ming army with Gushan as a unit, and the distance between the two sides would be slightly closer every time they made a circle.

The Eight Banners Mongolia also uses a large bow.

The big bow uses heavy arrows for precise shooting, and its effective range is generally within fifty steps.

However, if a light arrow is used to create a range of damage, the range can reach 150 steps or even farther.

In order to ensure that more arrows were poured on the Ming army's head, the Mongolian cavalry in the front row in a circle approached to a hundred steps, and then from a hundred steps to 150 steps, tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry in the fan ring with a thickness of fifty steps While running in circles, the cavalry kept throwing light arrows at the hollow phalanx in the center.

Under the attack of the Mongolian cavalry's arrow rain, the casualties of the Ming army's horses also began to increase.

However, the Ming army did not stand stupidly and let the Mongolian cavalry shoot. Instead, they used flintlock guns to fight back violently. The effective range of the flintlock guns is indeed only fifty steps. Once it exceeds fifty steps, the hit rate will drop sharply, but The hit rate has decreased, but the penetration or lethality has not decreased, and it will kill people even if it is shot!

As a result, the situation evolved into a long-range mutual shooting between the two sides.

But in general, it is obvious that the Mongolian cavalry suffers more.

Because the killing efficiency of light arrow throwing on the soldiers of the Ming army is very low.

For example, Hu Guozhu, who had received no less than twenty arrows on his body, was almost shot into a hedgehog, but he was still unscathed, because the light arrows thrown could not penetrate the mountain armor on his body at all.

Not only the Shanwen armor, but the cotton armor lined with iron sheets is also impenetrable.

Unless it is shot at parts that cannot be protected by armor, such as the palm, from the knee down to the sole of the foot, the elbow joint between the shawl and the elbow pad, and the gap between the front and rear skirt armor on the outer thigh, only if it is shot The Ming army will be injured in these parts, but most of them are only injured, and death is unlikely.

However, the situation of the Eight Banners Mongolia is not like this.

After more than fifty steps, the hit rate of the flintlock will drop sharply, but the lethality will not decrease at all.

Therefore, it's fine if you miss it. Once you hit it, you will be killed whether it is a horse or a person. Even if you reach a distance of 150 steps, you will still be killed if you are shot.

Therefore, every time the Mongolian cavalry turned around, someone would fall to the ground.

As time went by, more and more corpses were accumulated.

Duoduo found the only small earth bag nearby. It was not high, but standing on the top of the small earth bag, he could just see the Ming army phalanx within the encirclement of the Mongolian cavalry.

Seeing the continuous fall of Mongolian cavalry,

However, the Ming army in the phalanx rarely fell.

Duduo's face became extremely embarrassing.

He Luohui and the generals of the two white flags also let out a long sigh when they saw this.

As far as the current situation is concerned, unless the Ming army's ammunition is exhausted, it is obviously impossible to eat the Ming army. No matter how many Mongolian cavalrymen die, it is impossible to achieve this goal, and this battle cannot be fought.

However, did the Mongolian cavalry still have time to run out of ammunition for the Ming army?

If there is no accident, the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty will soon arrive on the battlefield.

What is the saying?The more you are afraid of something, the more you will come.

As soon as I thought of the reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty, there was a swan sound from afar.
