A small soldier of the frontier army in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 497
The Ming army deployed quickly, people called Ma Ni, and the generals and officers from all sides rushed to their defensive areas one by one,
In the direction of the Qing army, they also paid close attention to the movement of the Jingbian army. At this time, the Qing army had already retreated to three miles away from the Ming army.Because Ji Erhalang and others saw a large number of artillery in the Ming army's position. According to experience, it was the artillery fire of the Shenji Battalion of the Ming Dynasty, and this distance was also safe.

Moreover, Yingerdai also brought Huang Taiji's order that in order to defend against the artillery of the Ming army, a large number of sacks and earthen baskets must be placed in the army formation.

This is the result of Huang Taiji imitating Yang Guozhu and other ministries on Rufeng Mountain to resist the artillery fire on his own Huangtu Ridge. Emerging power groups are very good at learning.

So at this time, behind the army of Jierharang, Haoge, Azig and others, more than ten thousand Aha handymen are nervously wielding hoes and picks, bagging the soil, bringing them in bags one by one, and piling them up. Everywhere in the army, especially in front of a few woven golden dragon banners, they were piled up densely.

Seeing this situation, Hauge and Azig were furious. What did the formation of cavalry on their side look like when they were placed like this?

However, Jierhalang and Yingerdai insisted on this move, and there was nothing they could do.

Information from the Ming army continued to come in, part of which was the return of the horse scouts, and mainly the information sent back by Dorgon and others on the Huangtu Ridge.

Unlike the other Ming troops, facing the Jingbian army and the others, the sentry cavalry of the Qing Dynasty could hardly get too close.On the contrary, Dorgon and others on the Huangtu Ridge were condescending, looking out with binoculars, and the layout of the Jingbian Army could be clearly seen.

Huang Taiji also had a strict order that all Qing soldiers on Huangtuling must closely cooperate with Jierhalang and others in Pingchuan, and information sharing is one of them.

"What formation did Wang Dou form?"

After hearing the report from the sentry cavalry, Jierhalang and the others were a little puzzled.

According to everyone's experience in Yijierharang, the battle formation of the Ming army in the past was weaker. Even the infantry and cavalry were all huddled in the chariot camp, and let the Qing cavalry besiege on all sides.The stronger ones, the cavalry who can fight, gather in the rear or on the two wings, and the infantry is on the two wings, and the cavalry is in the middle. What kind of battle is this?

Jierhalang and Haoge also had binoculars. They looked in the direction of the Ming army. From their position, Wu Sangui was on the left flank, forming a car camp on three sides, with about ten thousand people.On their right is the dense Ningyuan cavalry, together with the cavalry of the Jingbian army, nearly [-] people, forming a vast cavalry formation.

The infantry of the Jingbian Army, which they were most concerned about, were deployed in the direction of the right wing, forming small concave and convex formations along some undulating hills and slopes.

As a result of the intelligence, there are six small formations in the front and five small formations in the back, forming a dislocation, and there is a large formation in the rear, and finally the Chinese army.

Then on the far right, there are two large formations, which seem to be defended by other troops of the Ming Dynasty.

This is the layout of the Jingbian Army Battalion?Haoge and Azige just found it funny, and Haoge even laughed wildly: "What kind of formation is Wang Dou forming here? Their formations are all empty, and if I charge in with my iron cavalry, they will be broken?

Azig also said: "I heard that in the past, when the king fought in formation, the guns were in front and the spearmen were behind. With their sharp firepower, they blocked the attack of my iron cavalry...Of course, it may not be possible to block the attack, after all, in the past, the Qing Dynasty Soldiers enter the pass to plunder, and they don’t want to cause more casualties. If they really want to rush, will they not get in? It’s just a matter of losing more troops.”

"Now he gives up the advantage of fighting old battles and chooses such a strange formation..."

Azig laughed and concluded: "He is confused!"

Many Qing generals present nodded. Indeed, it is not that the cavalry of the Qing Dynasty cannot break through Wang Dou's army, but that the damage is too great, and the gain outweighs the loss.

After all, robbers always cherish their lives. When the casualties exceed a certain number, they are unwilling to fight again. This is one of the reasons why Wang Dou has won so many times.

They believed that if they really made up their minds to charge into the formation, there were a lot of ways to break through them. For example, when the Eight Banners soldiers attacked Liu Zhaoji's chariot camp of Liaodong General Soldier not long ago, they drove a herd of horses to attack the formation and broke through their chariot camp.

Jierhalang stared in thought, shook his head and said, "Never underestimate Wang Dou's cunning, he has his own reasons for setting up formations like this."

He thought for a long time, and said: "Look at the eleven small formations in front of Wang Dou, surrounded by chariots on all sides, and each formation is not far away. Their javelins are sharp, and they can support each other. They want to break through their various armies. It's not easy."

Hauge and Azig disagreed, and Hauge said again: "A large number of their cavalry are concentrated in the middle. It just so happens that we can gather fine cavalry and defeat their cavalry in one fell swoop. I don't believe that their cavalry can compete with my Eight Banners cavalry." compared to!"

Jierhalang shook his head: "There are a lot of Hongyi cannons behind their cavalry, and there are a lot of rockets in front. If the fine cavalry rushes forward, it may cause a lot of damage, so you need to be careful."

Haug said angrily: "This is not okay, and that is not okay, Prince Zheng, are you afraid of the enemy like a tiger, or are you just a fool?"

A cold light flashed in Jierhalang's eyes, and he regained his gentle look, and said: "Prince Su, the opposite is the Jingbian Army of the Ming Kingdom, Wang Dou's subordinates. The Holy Majesty also has a decree. When dealing with the Wang Dou's troops, we must be cautious and not underestimate the enemy's waves." war."

Ying Erdai also frowned, dissatisfied with Hauge's domineering.

However, he is the prince of the Qing Dynasty, and the emperor loves him so much in his heart. No matter how displeased Ying Erdai is, he will not show it on his face.

Azig was extremely displeased with Jierharang, this old man, every word he said was trying to boost other people's aspirations and destroy his own prestige.Let him say a few more words, how can there be any morale in our own army?

Forehead son-in-law, Buyan Dai, the leader of the Eight Banners Mongolian and Red Banners, looked at the Jingbian army on the opposite side, feeling a little worried.

He suddenly said: "Prince Zheng, is our army a little short? The Ming army on the opposite side may have 3 to several thousand, and even the handyman will follow. My Qing army only has more than [-] people. Is there any reinforcements?" arrival?"

Both Jierhalang and Yingerdai shook their heads. On the bright side, there are 12 soldiers in Rufeng Mountain, Huangtuling and other places.However, there are about 1 handymen Aha, and there are more than [-] unarmored bannermen, and less than [-] elite armored soldiers.

Then these troops will be divided into Rufeng Mountain, Huangtuling, Songshanling, Shimenshan, Shijialing, Zijingshan and other places, as well as Jinchang Fort, Shahe Fort, and Dasheng Fort.

Among them, most of the Eight Banners Han Army is still guarding the walls of the various mountain villages, and there are only so many surplus troops that can be mobilized now.Although it is possible to send troops over here again, it will only take a while, how can it be possible to arrive quickly?
In fact, now Jierhalang has an idea. At first they were intimidated by the military appearance of the Ming army, but now they feel that they can only fight part of it.In view of this, the warriors of the Qing Dynasty do not need to defend so many places, and can deploy more troops to fight in the field.

Bu Yandai was disappointed, and said: "What about the artillery? Wuzhenhachao Cannon Battalion, can you come here?"

Jierhalang also sighed, part of Kong Youde's artillery battalion gathered on Rufeng Mountain and Huangtu Ridge, and part went to attack the Ma Ke and Tang Tong Departments to the west of Songshan Fort.Even if the artillery battalion is to be transferred, how can it be so easy to pull the heavy artillery of thousands of catties over the mountains?

In particular, the artillery from the west of Songshan Fort had to be pulled over, and the Ming army had to be prevented from intercepting it.

Hauge and Azig both saw Buyandai's expression and were unhappy.

More than [-] people, including more than [-] cavalry from the Qing Dynasty, in the eyes of Buyan Dai, are there insufficient troops?You must know that not long ago, with less than [-] people rushing into the formation, several car battalions of Bai Guangen were defeated in one fell swoop.Bai Guangen's body had just been sent to Huang Taiji in the mountain city.

Hmph, these Mongols are really greedy for life and afraid of death, no wonder they became the subjects of their own Manchurians.

It's a shame that in order to win them over, Manchurian women are still being sent to their tents, and even multiple grids are pasted into them.

Hauge thought bitterly, isn't this a marriage?What a disgrace to Manchurian men.

Finally, Jierhalang looked at the sky, exhaled, and thought, let's start!

……

After Wang Dou set up the formation, the Qing soldiers did not move for a long time. Seeing that it was noon, Wang Dou ordered the whole army to rest and have lunch.

The cooking vehicles of all ministries gathered behind the large formation of the Chinese army. The cooking vehicles gathered one after another. The firemen made pancakes on the spot. Amidst the sound of sizzling, the fragrant pancakes were made one by one. Eating one can fill your stomach.

The fire soldiers also opened the baggage vehicles, took out meat porcelain jars, and took out cut pieces of livestock meat mixed with salt and wheat flour seasoning, and fried them on the oil pan for a while, and the rich aroma spread. , making people salivate.

There is also a pot of broth to cook, even in the hot weather, eating a bowl of hot broth is also very comfortable.

In this battle, the food for the entire army was provided by Wang Dou, from Wu Sangui's subordinates to Fu Yingchong, Guo Yingxian, Wang Zheng, Li Yunshu and other troops, as well as the civilian husbands of the Chinese army, everyone had a share.Each person has flatbread with broth and a piece of meat in a porcelain pot.

In hot weather, bacon, bacon, ham, and salted eggs cannot be stored for long.Air-dried meat is too hard. In addition to killing fresh meat, the meat cans can be stored for a longer period of time. Therefore, in the Jingbian army, many meat jars are carried with the army.

Originally all the troops were going to eat dry food or rice, even the Shenji Camp was no exception, suddenly they were satisfied with the delicious food provided by the Jingbian Army, especially the civilians who accompanied the army, they were extremely happy.

In fact, what Wang Dou gave them was inferior to the treatment of the second-class army of the Jingbian Army, and in the future, Wang Dou would have to ask Hong Chengchou for the food and grass.

But at this time, all parts of Daming were suffering from hunger and cold, not to mention ordinary people, even the soldiers in the main barracks of the towns often had a full meal and hunger, even the guards of the household, it could not be said that they often had meat to eat.

So everyone was satisfied with the food in front of them, Zhang Ruoqi, the supervisor, thought: "The food is so rich, no wonder the Jingbian soldiers are willing to fight to the death!"

"You Jingbian army's treatment is really enviable."

The one who spoke was Tian Dayang, a Lumi shooter from Shenji Battalion next to Chen Sheng.

At this time, Chen Sheng, followed by the two general first-class troops in the front of the battalion, were in the large formation above the left flank defended by the Shenji Battalion.

The key to this formation is important, so Chief Qian Lei Xianbin personally led all the officials in the ministry, and Fu Yingchong, the deputy general of Shenji Battalion, followed the guerrillas to defend the formation together.Chen Sheng and his good friend Ju Yiwu, as the sharpshooters in the department, naturally stayed there with the officials.

In front of the army formation, 140 Flang machine guns from Shenji Battalion were arranged, along with several undulating hills, surrounded a large rectangle, including [-] guns on the front and forty guns on the left.

About 150 steps away on the right, there is a small car array of the Jingbian Army Jia and other troops. Naturally, artillery cannot be arranged, otherwise it will not be hitting one's own people?About [-] paces behind the army formation, there are also friendly cavalry, so naturally there is no need to deploy artillery.

And these artillery vehicles are all hollow in the middle, and there are long high and low guards on both sides, so that not only the gunner can avoid the enemy's arrows, but also the gunner can shoot outwards here.

The arrangement of these artillery vehicles, if located in a hilly position, is placed in the middle of the slope.

On the top of the hill, there are god machine arrow carts standing one after another. These rocket carts are like mortars.The arrow windows are all standing on the tall chariots, and the arrows point obliquely to the sky. If they are fired, hundreds of rockets can be fired at a time.

There are as many as [-] such magical arrow chariots in our army.In addition, there are [-] large-caliber mortars and [-] small-caliber mortars, which reflect the idea of ​​Shenji Battalion's fierce firepower when fighting the enemy.

In addition to the front and left side of the army formation, there are some ordinary Shenji Battalion chariots lined up on the right and rear.

The chariots stand sideways, and movable cards are inserted in the holes of the outer shafts, with pictures of ferocious beasts painted on them, which can scare the enemy's war horses to a certain extent.

In the army formation, no matter the artillery or chariots, there are dense refusal guns inserted. Except for the fierce horses, ordinary enemy horses dare not approach.

If so, it is the Shenji Battalion where Chen Sheng is located.

Of course, on the hill not far from the lower left, there is also a small formation of the Shenji Battalion, with sixty artillery vehicles, forty rocket vehicles, five large-caliber mortars, twenty small caliber mortar.

The remaining [-] rocket vehicles, [-] large-caliber mortars, and [-] small-caliber mortars from the Shenji Battalion were arranged in front of the cavalry in the middle of the formation.The big rockets such as Shenhuo Feiyao have not moved in the Chinese army for the time being.

Tian Dayang, a soldier of the Shenji Battalion who spoke, was less than thirty years old. He was fat, chubby, and quite cute.He is wearing a cloud-winged helmet and a long dark red armor with two bright red pompoms on his shoulders. Except for the helmet and hat, the rest of the clothes are quite similar to those of the Jingbian Army Jia and other troops.

Of course, every part of his armor is bounded in blue, while Chen Sheng and other soldiers from the rear battalion of the Jingbian army are bounded in black velvet, with copper buttons on the front, much more heroic than them.

Moreover, Chen Sheng always felt that the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion were more like businessmen than soldiers, and many of them were lazy, whether they were sitting or standing, and in terms of temperament, they could not be compared with the Jingbian Army at all.

Tian Dayang is a warm and friendly person, not as arrogant as other soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, when he saw Chen Sheng and Ju Yiwu standing beside him, he immediately started talking endlessly.

Chen Cheng and Chen Cheng are sharpshooters in the department, they can move around and look for fighter opportunities. They came here to look at the terrain and knew it by heart, but they didn't expect to be caught by Tian Dayang, so they couldn't get away.

Tian Dayang chattered endlessly, starting from asking the two people's surnames, then talking about what he had seen and heard in the capital and Tianjin, and finally talking about how well-behaved his five children are, he really talked endlessly.

While speaking, he also boasted from time to time, and in the conversation, he was quite proud that his ancestors were also rich.Of course, his Tian family is in decline now, but it doesn't matter, with his Tian Dayang, the reputation of the ancestors will be revived.

He didn't stop talking until he had lunch, but the topic changed and he began to comment on the food of the Jingbian Army.

He took big bites of the meat in the porcelain pot, served with the flatbread in broth, his mouth was full of oil, and he would look at the bowls of Chen Sheng and Ju Yiwu from time to time.

The two are first-class soldiers, so the meat in the bowl is thick and sufficient, several times larger than his.

Now the east road animal industry is well developed, and in order to guarantee the logistics of the army, in addition to the supply camp, the shogunate also mobilized a large number of businessmen on the east road.Therefore, the Jingbian army is far away in Liaodong, and they can also eat meat every day. As the first-class army, Chen Sheng and others are treated even more generously.

Although Chen Sheng is not good at dealing with others, he feels that Tian Dayang has a good heart, and the general also encourages him to have a good relationship with his allies.Seeing Tian Dayang's salivation, he silently drew out his knife, cut half of the meat in the bowl, and put it on Tian Dayang's bowl.

The same is true of Ju Yiwu, he has a cold face and a warm heart, and when he meets friends who get along well, he often talks heart to heart.

Tian Dayang was stunned for a moment, then he was overjoyed and gave the two thumbs up: "Thank you two brothers, you two are really kind, I didn't say anything, I will invite you when I come to the capital in the future!"

There was also a lot of food next to him, and the Lumi Gunners of the Shenji Camp saw it, and they were a little envious of Tian Dayang.

An equally chubby musketeer laughed loudly and said, "Fatty Tian, ​​please pay me back? You have pawned all the valuables, right? Your house is leaking from all sides, and you almost sold your wife. What did you get?" please?"

When Tian Dayang was exposed, he blushed and argued, "Didn't I come out to fight? After I have made military achievements and received rewards, I will have money."

"Military meritorious service?"

The gunners laughed again, with mockery in their tone.

Tian Dayang looked embarrassed. To be honest, he had no idea whether he would be able to make military achievements.

Losing face among the two new friends, Tian Dayang was indignant, but then he felt a generous big hand on his shoulder.

It was Chen Sheng who said to him, "Brother Tian, ​​I believe in you!"

Tian Dayang suddenly felt warm in his heart, only felt that these two new friends, although they got along for a short time, were completely different from those friends he had met before.

He nodded heavily, gobbled up the food in his hands, and then slapped the bowl on the ground, picked up the Lumi gun beside him, and murmured: "Baby, baby, I haven't used you for a long time. I'm going to fight!"

The Lumi gun he held in his hand was black and thick, flint hair style, and the shaft was long. It could break through heavy armor at a distance of 150 steps.

Of course, at such a long distance, many musketeers can't aim at the enemy, and usually hit within a hundred steps.

But bullets are no better than arrows, even if they are beyond the range of sight, their power should not be underestimated, not being able to see the enemy does not mean that they cannot be killed.

The Lumi gun in Tian Dayang's hand is not much different from the Lumi gun of Chen Sheng.If there is a difference, it may be that his blunderbuss has a relatively high rate of misfires, while Chen Sheng and others' flintlock Lumi blunderbusses only have a rate of [-]% to [-]%.

There are also Tian Dayang and other gunmen of the Shenji Camp, who do not use fixed-packed paper tube ammunition, but carry multiple cans on their bodies, including primer cans, propellant cans, lead bags, etc., and they also have a waist knife on their waists.

Although the custom-loaded paper tube ammunition on the East Road is famous far and wide, the Shenji Battalion is extremely dispirited, and the relevant officers and generals have never thought of changing their combat methods for many years.Of course, if they are good Lumi musketeers who can skillfully reload sub-drugs, their shooting speed will not be slow.

Looking at the army formation, following the ups and downs of the terrain, the formation is now full of gunners from the Shenji Battalion like Tian Dayang.

Fu Yingchong led the army. Apart from a large number of gunners and rocket fighters, his front battalion consisted of more than 500 pure Lumi gunners.At this time, not counting the gunners and archers, there were 2000 gunners gathered in this formation, and the total strength of the two thousand troops, together with the two first-class Jingbian troops, totaled more than [-] people.

The Huo soldiers took away everyone's bowls and chopsticks, Chen Sheng and Ju Yiwu stood up, and the two climbed to the top of the hill behind them, looking at the movement of the Qing soldiers in the distance.

The line of sight here is good, and you can clearly see the movements of the Tazi soldiers.

Standing on the hill and looking around, there are dry and undulating loess ground everywhere, and the range is quite gentle.Of course, there are also some places where some trenches and shallow pits have been carved out by the erosion of the years.

"Is the battle about to start?"

Chen Sheng thought silently, he looked at the distance, and then at his new friend Tian Dayang, who was not far below him, dancing his fists and cheering him on, thinking: "If you can enter the East Road, you can join the Jingbian Army, It's my luck!"

He should use the sharp firearm in his hand to severely strike the enemy, for his own family, for the general, for the people of Donglu, and for Daming.

Suddenly his eyes turned cold: "The Tartars are on the move!"

……

"The Qing soldiers are dispatched!"

Wang Dou sat on the horse harness, had lunch with the supervisor Zhang Ruoqi, and then took out the binoculars to look at the Qing army's position.Hearing the sound of the horn, a huge black line spread across the wilderness ahead.

The flag bearer on the pole cart kept hearing the movement ahead, as well as the deployment of the Qing soldiers. Judging from their main attack direction, it was the large formation of our own cavalry and the infantry formation of the Jingbian army.

The black line spread over, and it could be seen that it was billowing and riding, wave after wave.

Look at their armor and flags, there are Manchurian white flags, bordered white flags, true yellow flags, bordered yellow flags, true blue flags, and bordered blue flags.There are Mongolian Zhenghuang Banners, Zhenghong Banners, and Bordered Red Banners, as well as some foreign Mongolian soldiers and some small tribal soldiers. The sea of ​​flags seems to be boundless.

In the binoculars, you can see the general layout of the Qing soldiers, and the dead soldiers are in front, the sharp soldiers are behind, and the light armor on the wings is good at shooting bows.In particular, they all rode with spears, all with spears and halberds.

Hearing Zhang Ruoqi's violent panting beside him, Wang Dou's eyes were deep. Whether it was the post-Jin soldiers or the Qing soldiers, they all imitated the fighting methods of the Jin soldiers.When the Jin people fought, people at the time recorded: "The captives used more sharp formations when they used their troops, retreating one after another, and coming back one after another, and each formation is as heavy as one."

Although the fighting power of the Qing soldiers is not as good as that of the Jin soldiers, if they use iron cavalry to charge the battle, they should not be underestimated.

It can be clearly seen that the Qing soldiers who came from the front had the combat characteristics of driving cannon fodder and war slaves.The few waves of Qing cavalry in front were tribal soldiers from all over the country, followed by Mongolian soldiers from the Outer Domain, Mongolian soldiers from the Eight Banners, and finally Manchurian soldiers.

Those tribal soldiers, although most of them bear the name of dead soldiers and are well-equipped, are actually slave soldiers with no freedom at all. If they dare to escape, the whole tribe will be wiped out.

Why did the Russians conquer Siberia with a weak force and extend their tentacles to the Heilongjiang River Basin?Because all the local men died, they were all buried as cannon fodder for the Manchurians.

At this time, Kong Youde and other Han troops were not there, otherwise they would have been the first wave to be topped.

There was a cold light in Wang Dou's eyes, he had to wipe out several waves of cannon fodder in front of them if he wanted to severely injure those Manchurian elite cavalry.

Seeing clearly riding the boundless sea of ​​flags, Fu Yingchong, the deputy general of the Shenji Battalion not far from Wang Dou, was also breathing heavily, his mouth was wide open, and his whole body was full of nervousness.

His Shenwei General Cannons, 25, were deployed on these hills, and the gunners of the Shenji Battalion had already loaded the shells and gunpowder, and were waiting to fire.Unlike bombarding a fixed target, this kind of bombardment can be reloaded according to the distance.

Perhaps many of these gunners have never seen such a scene in their lives. Although their cannons are hidden behind a large group of cavalry, many people still can't help being nervous.

Only Zhao Xuan beside Fu Yingchong looked disdainful, perhaps to him, the scene in front of him was just a trivial matter.

His artillery battalion was also ready, with seventy Hongyi cannons, including six-pounders and three-pounders, facing the direction of the Qing army, shining brightly in the sun.

Suddenly there was a sharp sound of a trumpet on the opposite side, followed by the sound of "Xiuxiu" arrows.

That sound was like a shooting star streaking across the sky, and with the sound of the arrows, the golden dragon banners that had been extinguished in the flags of the Qing Dynasty suddenly stood tall, and all the Qing cavalry looked in the direction of the dragon banners.

Stern Manchu voices sounded from all sides: "...the general holds the flag in person. There is no retreat in this battle. The captain died in battle, and all four of them were beheaded. The chief died in battle, and all the chiefs were beheaded. The chief died in battle. Everything will be cut off..."

The whistling sound resounded all over the front, back, left, and right sides of the formation, and the dense spears and horses were raised high, standing erect like a forest.

Tens of thousands of horses neighed, like surging iron horses, and waves of clear riders galloped towards the Ming army's position in an endless stream.

Seeing their galloping horses, Lin Jugen only had a sneer of disdain on his face.

Just like him, the cavalry of the Jingbian Army, lined up in layers, were also waiting in full force. Under the sun, everyone's expressions remained motionless.

A few steps behind the chariot, there are three rows of gunmen from the Jingbian Army's second-class army lined up like a long dragon. Behind the gunmen, more than ten steps behind, are layers of spearmen.

According to the rules of wartime, Zhao Rongsheng's horses have already been taken to the headquarters.

He, A, lined up in two teams, looked at the brothers beside him, everyone was breathing slowly and rapidly, and he comforted: "Don't be nervous, everyone, just treat it as training. Everyone just remember, usually use your skills, and use them to your advantage. Just pay [-] to [-] percent."

He took a special look at Han Kaihui, whose face was tense: "Don't worry, it's fine!"

At this time, the Chinese army fired a cannon, and the order came: "Ready to fight!"

The officers shouted one after another: "Ready to fight!"

The big drum of the Chinese army rang, and just as the sound of the drum fell, the armored man Zhao Rongsheng, from the armored commander to the small soldier, took a step in an orderly manner, grasped the weapon in his hand, and shouted with all his strength: "Tiger!"

Like them, the dense Jingbian Army soldiers also stepped forward and roared.

The majestic whistling sound stretched over the Jingbian army's infantry and cavalry formations, and spread to all directions.

The drums sounded again, and the army took another step, roaring again: "Tiger!"

This is the Qi family army's three blows three blows, three shouts three advances, three drink tiger characters, and the Jingbian army also used it.

Not only that, the Jingbian army also has slogans such as "protect, protect, protect", "he, he, he", "kill, kill, kill", "ju, tu, tu", Wansheng, long live, mighty, etc., all over the country. The same is true for the Ming army.

After shouting the majestic slogan at the same time, I felt countless close comrades-in-arms beside me. It was an indescribable force.During this whistling, Han Kaihui and the others seemed to be a little nervous, and they disappeared.

But at this time, the Qing cavalry, who came rushing like iron horses, were not far from the Jingbian army.

On August 14rd, [-]th year of Chongzhen, at noon, the battle between the Jingbian Army and the banners of the Qing Dynasty started.

……

A tidal wave of cavalry from the Qing Dynasty rushed in. In front of them were light cavalry skilled in equestrianism, and behind them were dead soldiers from the Qing Dynasty with double armor and armored horses.

These dead soldiers not only rode heavy horses themselves, but also drove some horses with weapons, trying to use this to break the Jingbian army's formation.

However, among the six small formations in front of the Jingbian army, most of the horses were driven by dead soldiers, three or four small formations slightly to the right.Because compared with the left side, the terrain there is relatively gentle, which is suitable for charging with fast horses and heavy horses.

Those Qingqi who are skilled in equestrian skills, when they are two or three hundred steps away from the Jingbian army formation, they still do the movement of pulling their horses and turning.Trying in vain to repeat the old tricks, attracting the Jingbian army to fire guns, achieving the same effect as defeating Bai Guangen.

However, the six small formations of the Jingbian army in front of them were all in order, and they seemed to be laughing at their tricks.

All the first-class sergeants are waiting in line in the car formation. These car formations are slightly shorter on the left and right and longer on the front and back, in order to exert the power of side shots.In front of these six small formations, there are five General Fran cannons, and every two tanks have one cannon, which stands outside to play cards, and the outside of the tanks is densely packed with long guns.

The five small formations of the first-class army that followed were placed in front of the formation, each equipped with two General Fran cannons, and the cannonballs fired by the two cannons could reach a range of seven to eighty meters wide.

In each army formation, regardless of whether the firecrackers or pikemen had put down the iron masks on their hats and helmets.Especially for the pikemen, there are several rows of people holding ten thousand enemies, and one person next to them is holding a torch, ready to light it for them at any time.

As Qingqi got closer and closer, their ferocious expressions could be seen more clearly, but the Jingbian army remained unmoved.Those Qing soldiers could not, the rolling light cavalry, heavy cavalry, dead soldiers, and sharp soldiers came, and in a blink of an eye, a torrent like a tide had rushed to the front of each chariot formation.

With a clang and a dragon chant, in these small formations, there is an artillery battalion commander in charge of commanding the artillery, and as they draw out their sabers one by one, they slant their fingers!

"Boom boom boom boom!"

The vibrations of Dafolang machine guns continued. Amidst the deafening sound of cannons, each Buddha wolf machine gun loaded with shotguns spewed out large streams of sharp smoke and flames to the front.

The ground seemed to be trembling. Each of these Dafulang cannons was filled with at least hundreds of lead and iron shots. The shot they fired could be more than 200 meters long and three to 40 meters wide.

The bombardment of each of the five generals' Fran's cannons in each small formation exceeded the salvo of thousands of blunderbusses, countless projectiles swept past, and people could only hear people screaming. Rolling on the ground.
