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

Chapter 569
Rolling Erlan Banner is full of Mongolian cavalry, a large number of horses, and some fine cavalry of Erbai Banner are sandwiched behind them. After breaking through the front and center formations, they still do not stay, and they rush towards Hong Chengchou and other rear formations like a tide .

Amidst the thunderous hoofbeats, there were some panicked and screaming rout soldiers, who were soon overwhelmed by the horse herd.

There was a trace of coldness on Hong Chengchou's face. In the binoculars, he had already seen the handsome flags of Li Fuming and Zuo Guangxian fall. The two veterans may be in danger. It will be very wonderful, and the central army is in the rear, and there are supervisors and angels.

He said coldly: "The gun gun is ready to fight!"

Zhang Ruoqi cried out in shock: "Duke Hong, there are still a large number of scattered soldiers ahead, should we wait a moment and wait for them to disperse first?"

Hong Chengchou calmly said: "Zhang Gongming, the bandit and slave cavalry has rushed up, there is no time for that."

Both Wang Dehua and Fu Yingchong were silent. Wang Dehua was an angel, so any speech at this time was inappropriate. Fu Yingchong was more concerned about the safety of the rear.

Hong Chengchou is not a soft-hearted person. He has led the army for many years, and his determination is the best choice. In a short while, he made a decision.

Erlan Qi and other surging cavalry and horses galloped to [-] paces. Hong Chengchou gave the order to fire, and the sharp swan sound resounded throughout the rear army position. The Extermination Cannon roared forward with live ammunition weighing a pound.

Amidst the sound of thunderbolt cannons, billowing smoke rose, groups of Qing cavalry and horses fell down, and some fleeing soldiers were also smashed into pieces.

The sharp swan sounded again, and the captive destroying cannon on the second floor roared out a rain of bullets like hail.

The Qing cavalry still rolled over, and there was another shrill swan sound, and hundreds of artillery vehicles from the Shenji Battalion, the third-floor extermination cannons, shot forward densely like raindrops of cannonballs.

In front of the ground, countless smoke, dust and sand exploded, and those heavy cavalry and horses rushing into the formation immediately spewed out blood mist. At this time, an unknown number of Qing cavalry war horses were killed or injured.

However, in order to defeat the Ming army's central army, they seemed to have spent a lot of money. The front wave's clear cavalry had just been sparse, and the back wave had already rushed up. In front of the car, there was a lot of chaos, and the cannon car could not be broken directly, which bought time and opportunity for the Ming army.

The sound of platooning guns sounded, and the Datong New Army, as well as the gunners of the Shenji Battalion, leaned behind the baffles of the artillery vehicles, and blasted forward round after round.

Their weapons are quite sophisticated. The Datong New Army has bird guns supported by the East Road, and the gunners of Shenji Battalion also collectively use flintlock Lumi guns. At the critical moment of life and death, they all went all out and played super hard.

Although the new army of Datong was terrified, they could still fight according to military law. After several battles, the gunners of the Shenji Battalion were no longer at a loss as they were the first time.

At the same time, the Frang machine gunners of the Shenji Battalion also tried their best to fill in the guns, trying to fire as soon as possible in a short time.

The sound of war drums, the sound of shouts and guns was deafening, and the waves of Erlan and Erbai flags were full of Mongolian cavalry. They shot arrows like locusts and rained javelins. Axe, etc., both sides, are constantly bleeding casualties.
More and more Qing cavalry dismounted and shot at infantry, and their blood-slotted three-edged arrows caused great damage to the gunners behind the cannon carriage.

Although the blunderbussmen of the Shenji Battalion have collectively replaced the armor presented by Wang Dou, those Qing soldiers are too accurate in archery. The more, the more they are at a disadvantage.

Hong Chengchou had a cold face, his battalion supervisor had not participated in the battle yet, but seeing the situation in front of him was exhausted, there would always be times when his side could not support it.

Zhang Ruoqi's face was ashen, and he just murmured: "What should I do, what should I do?"

Wang Dehua didn't tremble anymore, but his eyes rolled around, thinking of something.

"Breaking the rear formation of the Ming army, and beheading Hong Chengchou, the governor of the Ming Dynasty, is just around the corner!"

On the mountain behind Songjiagou, Huang Taiji looked ahead with a cold expression.

He has already received news from the right wing that the Eight Banners of Han Dynasty and the North Korean army were defeated, all the artillery was lost, and the whereabouts of Jin Zidian, Liu Zhiyuan, Shi Tingzhu, Jin Yuze, Zu Zerun, and Wu Shoujin were unknown, even he was in charge of the guards on that side. Hundreds of elite Kabush virtuous soldiers escaped in the chaos, and Kabushi virtuous Zhang Jinglaosa also did not know whether he was alive or dead.

Before the war, Huang Taiji had a premonition that the Han army and the Korean army might not be able to withstand the attacks of the Jingbian army, but he did not expect them to lose so quickly and so badly. It can be said that they suffered heavy losses, and they will be able to gather in the end. I wonder if there are [-] soldiers in the Eight Banners of Han Dynasty and North Korea?
Not far from him, Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi, and Ma Guangyuan had been kneeling for a long time, their kneecaps were numb and sore, but Huang Taiji had no intention of letting them get up.

He also doesn't care about the three Han army flags, Gu Shan Ezhen. He is just thinking that the right wing was defeated. Go down, the battle in the middle lane needs to end as soon as possible.

Fortunately, there is only a thin line between victory and defeat, as long as we work harder, we will soon be able to break through Hong Chengchou's rear formation of the Chinese army.

Thinking of this, angry and worried, Huang Taiji immediately issued an order: "I will pass on my will, and Dorgon, the leader of the left-wing Erbai Banner, Duoduo, Gushan Ezhenyibai, Suna, and the Mongolian Taijibeile of the outer vassals will be dispatched. A Jiala Jingqi, immediately support Haoge and Jierhalang, before Wang Dou's reinforcements arrive, we must break through the middle of the Ming army and kill their supervisor Hong Chengchou!"

Jin Zidian, Liu Zhiyuan, Shi Tingzhu and others have not heard from them for a long time. It seems that they are more or less fortunate. The right wing fought, and their side lost at least five Gushan Ezhen, countless generals of the Han army, and even the North Korean Youyizheng died or died. Prisoners, how will North Korean monarchs and ministers view the Qing Dynasty in the future?
Although there is good news from the city of Jinzhou, the Shanhaiguan was defeated, the general of the Ming Dynasty Ma Ke died, and Li Fuming and Zuo Guangxian may also be beheaded, but this is far from enough. We need to behead a few more of them. Characters, such as Hong Chengchou and Zu Dashou, can maintain the prestige of the Qing Dynasty.

Huang Taiji's obese body was still riding steadily on his horse. He looked towards the direction of Yizhou and Xingshan. As long as Yizhou was kept, Xingshan would win, and Hong Chengchou's Chinese army would be captured. The battle of Jinzhou was still a big one. One of Qing's countless victories.

Behind him, after receiving the news of the defeat of the right wing, the people in Yingerdai, who were in charge of the household department, had long since lost their previous vigor, and the Mongols such as Badali and Ezhe were even more pale, looking like dead people.

……

"How about the Chinese army?"

Li Guangheng, Yang Guozhu, and Wang Pu all looked at the side of the Chinese army with worried faces. There was smoke and dust in the sky, faintly, the sound of gunfire and shouts of killing came from time to time, but the specific situation could only be observed. unknown.

A quarter of an hour ago, the right wing received an urgent call for help from the Chinese army. Li Fuming and Zuo Guangxian, who were here, were leading the cavalry in the barracks. When they heard that the Chinese army was in danger, they were worried about their own commander, and immediately asked Yang Guozhu, the commander in chief of the right wing, to let them lead the army. The cavalry returned to aid the Chinese army.

Although the situation was tight, Yang Guozhu agreed to their request without hesitation, but just now the generals were fighting with the Qing cavalry, and it took them a lot of time to call back the soldiers and horses.

Wang Pu was also worried. The battalions in the middle camp were fine. Although they were soldiers and horses from Datong Town, Wang Pu didn't really care about it. How much effort did it take me to only camp?
Seeing that he was absent-minded, Yang Guozhu had no choice but to encourage him loudly, especially Li Guangheng's consolation, which made Wang Pu recover a little bit of energy.

The Erbaiqi Tartars launched another attack, and it seemed that they were entangled desperately regardless of casualties.

However, it can also be seen that a lot of their soldiers and horses were mobilized and left. Just when the right wing took the opportunity to win, Yang Guozhu snorted coldly and shouted: "Soldiers, kill slaves!"

Li Guangheng shouted: "Drive them into the river!"

"Drown them!"

After the rocket vehicles of the Shenji Battalion, the Shenwei General Cannon, and the large and small mortars were fired, the Ming cavalry roared and charged towards the Qing cavalry again...

"Second brother, second brother, the casualties are too great!"

Duoduo yelled at Dorgon in a little panic. Beside the two, the two Mongolian Gushan Ezhens of the Erbai Banner were also as pale as snow.

They deal with Yang Guozhu, Li Guangheng and others with the Erbai Banner and the Mongolian Banners. Although they have an advantage in terms of strength, they have dozens of Shenwei General Cannons, a large number of rocket vehicles, and ash bombs. The size of the poisonous bombs is not vegetarian. .

What's more, their hateful divine fire, flying crows and big rockets, which stand up into a sea of ​​fire when they fall, can't be extinguished when they touch the human body, and they will burn until they see the bones. It's like a tiger.

These large armies, all composed of cavalry from the Ming Dynasty's Zhengbing Battalion, should not be underestimated, especially the cavalry of the Jingbian Army. When they attacked, they formed a neat formation and advanced like a wall, which caused them a lot of losses.

Fortunately, there are few of them, and the cavalry of other troops is not as powerful as the cavalry of Manchurian Eight Banners, even the cavalry of Yang Guozhu's main barracks, not to mention the cavalry of Wang Pu, Li Fuming and Zuo Guangxian's barracks, so both sides you come I'm going to make a big deal.

It's just that as the Erbaiqi Jingqi continued to move away, they went to support Haoge and others, and with Huang Taiji's strict order, they must entangle the Mingqi here...

Although the Ming cavalry also took away a lot, only the cavalry of the Jingbian army with the most combat effectiveness, Yang Guozhu cavalry was still there, and the casualties of the Erbai Banner immediately increased greatly. Seeing Duoduo's distress, the Mongolian Zhengbai Banner Gushan Ezhen Yibai, Xiangbai Banner Gushan Ezhensuna complained even more.

Duo Duo glanced at the back mountain, gritted his teeth and said to Dorgon: "The guy on the seat is crazy, does he think he is dying, and wants to bury me and the second white flag?"

He whispered: "Yesterday, I saw that guy vomit blood. Although he immediately covered it up, I still saw it!"

Dorgon's heart moved, he shook his head and said: "It's not for this reason, the right-wing Han Eight Banners side seems to have lost!"

Duoduo was dumbfounded: "I lost, how long has it been?"

Soon his eyes flickered, and he said darkly: "Wang Dou, won't he come from the right wing soon, and then they will attack Haoge, Jierhalang and others..."

Dorgon smiled, and said coldly: "Jieshi Huang Taiji will definitely let us wait for a quick rescue, and we need to find ways to delay it."

He looked ahead, the cavalry of the Ming army was rolling in again, he raised his voice, turned his head and said to the two Mongol Gushan Ezhen Yibai and Suna: "The Ming army is powerful, and I have taken away a lot of fine cavalry right now. Be cautious when fighting waves, and when necessary, you can dismount and line up, and use strong bows and spears to defend against battle."

Immediately, Yibai breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Jun Rui is right."

Su Na was full of praise: "Your Highness, Prince Rui, you really have mastered the art of war..."

"dash forward!"

On the battlefield in the middle, the sound of killing shook the sky, thousands of horses galloped, Haoge roared desperately, and filled the banners with troops one by one.

Jierhalang next to him frowned, and attacked the rear of the Ming army, causing a lot of casualties. They resisted too tenaciously, and their blunderbuss and artillery made the soldiers of all banners retreat one after another.

It seemed that Hauge was a little crazy. He was trying to persuade him, but Hauge snatched the dragon flag held by the Zhenglan Banner Baga Latiao Zhangjing Arzin. He roared loudly: "Within a quarter of an hour, we must attack Go down to the Ming Dynasty's central army, for the sake of the Qing Dynasty, kill!"

"kill!"

Hauge's encouragement aroused the courage of tens of thousands of Qing soldiers from all banners in the middle battlefield. They followed Hauge's dragon banner, roaring, roaring, and rushed towards the rear of Hong Chengchou's central army!

The cavalry of the Qing Dynasty rolled over the ground like a tidal wave, and countless horseshoes stepped on the ground. The sound was like rolling thunder approaching from the sky. In the colder weather, the white air emitted by their troops merged into one piece.

Hong Chengchou looked at the iron cavalry rushing towards him with a livid face. His battalion supervisors had already taken charge, but the Qing troops in the middle launched a general charge. Can his own rear be able to stop it?
Zhang Ruoqi closed his eyes, he didn't care that he was a student of Confucianism, and he was particular about keeping quiet and ignoring the gods, so he muttered about Buddha.

Wang Dehua sighed, he joined the army this time, he came to the wrong place, he looked left and right to see which way to escape, but he is fat and his riding skills are even worse, he can outrun those chasing Tartars kid?

Finally, the Flang machine artillery vehicles of the Shenji Battalion failed to block the flood of Qing cavalry attacks. Amid the sound of one artillery vehicle being overturned after another, countless Qing soldiers of the Erlan Banner broke into the formation of vehicles. .
