Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 226 Kong Youde's defeat and the whole army's attack (second update)
At this time, Chen Zilong, Yang Tinglin, Xia Yunyi, Liu Xiyao, Qin Minping and other commanders of the infantry battalion of the Guards Army all looked solemnly at the rushing cavalry of the Qing army.

"Remember this time, shoot people first and shoot horses first, don't panic, and obey orders, no matter whether he is tens of thousands of cavalry or thousands of cavalry, as long as he shoots accurately, he can defeat the enemy!"

These commanders have reminded the grassroots officers and soldiers under their command.

"Find out and then fight, shoot people first and shoot horses, especially those of us guards in the front, we must first disrupt the formation of the cavalry, as long as the formation is disrupted, it will not be difficult to defeat the Qing cavalry in front of us! "

Gu Yanwu also gave instructions to his soldiers, and first picked up the flintlock gun with the protection of the bunker and shield soldiers, and began to aim at the horse belly of a Qing army cavalry.

The crackling sound suddenly sounded.

The infantry battalion of the Guards unceremoniously began to attack the two cavalry of the Qing army composed of the Eight Banners of the Han army.

After a scuffle in the morning, the infantrymen of the Guards were obviously calmer and more accurate in combat against the cavalry, and they also clearly grasped the pulse of shooting people first and shooting horses.

These cavalry of the Qing army were immediately beaten up, and the cavalry of the Qing army who rushed to the front were thrown into chaos!
Kong Tingxun, the son of Kong Youde, also fell off because Wang Fuzhi shot his horse at this time, and when he fell, Wang Fuzhi shot again without saying a word.

Kong Tingxun was killed on the spot!He was beaten until his brains burst out.

Kong Youde also saw this scene at this time, and couldn't help being very angry: "My son!"

At the same time, the second row of field guns also fired at the same time, blowing up very few of the approaching cavalry of the Qing army.

A quarter of an hour later, the two thousand cavalry sent by Kong Youde were all dead, and he did not dare to advance rashly, and continued to hide behind the people with his troops, looking at the guards with grief and indignation.

Kong Youde began to give orders, ordering the firearms soldiers in front to speed up and push the captured civilians forward, so as to counterattack the infantry of the Guards as soon as possible.

At this time, the third row of field artillery began to attack and directly bombarded the cavalry camp behind Kong Youde.

Kong Youde's cavalry of the Qing army was in chaos again, and fled from all directions in a panic.

Seeing this, Duoduo hurriedly ordered Wakda to take three hundred Manchurian cavalry to supervise the battle and stabilize the Qing army's cavalry camp composed of the Eight Banners of the Han Army.

General Wakda of the Qing army charged up with [-] armored soldiers and prepared to hack and kill the cavalry of the Qing army who had begun to flee, in order to stabilize the morale of the army.

But at this time, the Guards Field Artillery Battalion in the first row dropped hundreds of bombs again. Wakda hit dozens of iron sheets on his abdomen and face on the spot, fell off his horse, and was killed directly!

And his three hundred armored soldiers also fell to the ground countless times, only a dozen or so cavalry retreated quickly.

The first row of field artillery continued to bombard the open space between the Manchu cavalry and the Qing and Han cavalry.

At the same time, the second and third platoons of field artillery followed closely behind the shelling, forcing the Manchu cavalry and Kong Youde's Han army cavalry to be unable to close together.

However, Liu Fangliang of the Guards took the opportunity and Liu Zhaoji each led [-] Guards iron cavalry to kill them, and destroyed Kong Youde's firearms battalion on the spot.

Although the Kong Youde Firearms Battalion also formed a three-platoon, it turned quickly to the Infantry Firearms Battalion, which obviously had no guards. After being disrupted, they also rushed to flee.

These Qing army firearms soldiers who escaped were directly shot to death by the infantry of the Guards, while the civilians were directly let go by the infantry battalion.

Duduo and Kong Youde's plan to use the people as human shields failed, and Kong Youde couldn't help being furious, and directly brought the remaining tens of thousands of Qing army cavalry to kill the guard cavalry and infantry.

Facing the Qing army's iron cavalry rushing, the guards' field artillery battalion immediately began to retreat. Because Daming's field artillery was pulled by a carriage, and the rotating shaft had also been improved, so the maneuverability was very strong. After quickly retreating to the optimal range, it was Started to continue to attack the Qing army cavalry.

The Guards infantry battalion also began to rely on bunkers to shoot at the Qing cavalry.

The rear camp of the Qing cavalry was blown into chaos by artillery, and the front was hit by more than [-] flintlock guns. The key point is that there is a moat between the infantry battalion and the Qing cavalry.

Therefore, even the guards on the north bank of the moat began to retreat to the cavalry ring while fighting to avoid the Qing army.

When the Qing cavalry rushed to the front, they could only use bows and arrows to attack the infantry battalion on the south bank of the moat river, but they could not directly break through the infantry battalion's camp.

At this time, there were still some infantry battalions on the outer city of Yangzhou relying on the ruined walls that had not been destroyed to shoot down the Qing army cavalry.

As a result, tens of thousands of cavalry of the Qing army faced a three-dimensional firepower net attack, and were beaten to the ground in an instant. Countless cavalry of the Qing army and their horses fell directly into the moat, causing countless splashes.

Kong Youde had no choice but to order the archers and his own infantry to come over with the ladder, ready to forcibly cross the river to build a bridge and attack the infantry of the Guards on the city wall.

However, under the attack of tens of thousands of flintlock guns, these infantrymen could only become living targets of the Guards like the cavalry of the Qing army, and were shot to the ground one by one.

In less than half an hour, Kong Youde's infantry and cavalry retreated frantically, but as soon as they retreated, they were attacked by the infantry field artillery of the Guards, and Kong Youde had to flee in embarrassment on horseback.

"Your Majesty, Kong Youde's troops in the Qing army are in disarray, and I request that the entire army attack the Duoduo troops of the Qing army immediately, and leave some cavalry to pursue the defeated troops of Kong Youde's troops!"

Zhou Yuji hurriedly asked for instructions.

"Just give me an order for me, don't let Dodo go!"

After Zhu Youjian finished speaking, Zhou Yuji immediately walked to the front and ordered the trumpeter to immediately blow the order for the whole army to attack, and the command flag in his hand pointed directly at Duoduo's troops.

Seeing this, the battalions of the Guards immediately broke out and rushed towards Duoduo's troops.

Liu Fangliang, Liu Zhaoji and others each led a regiment of [-] cavalry to attack on the left and right sides first, blocking the retreat of Duoduo's troops.

At the same time, the infantry battalions outside the city, namely the twelve infantry battalions of the First Army and the Third Army, also rushed towards Duoduo's troops immediately.

Zhou Yuji suggested that He Xin, the commander-in-chief of the Second Guards Army, lead [-] cavalry from the Second Guards Army to pursue the remaining Kong Youde remnants.

And Zhou Yuji personally led the rest of the troops in the city to pursue Duoduo's tribe.

At this time, Duoduo also noticed the situation ahead. He didn't expect that the Qing army's iron cavalry composed of Han people was so unbearable, and they would be in chaos so quickly.

Doduo also knew that although he was invincible in battle with ten thousand Manchurian cavalry, the tiger could not hold back the pack of wolves, so he hurriedly led the Manchurian cavalry towards Huai'an.

At this time, Liu Fangliang and Liu Zhaoji had each brought [-] guard cavalry to kill them.

Zhentianlei directly exploded around the Manchurian cavalry, prompting the Manchurian cavalry of Duoduo to retreat.

However, Melererzhen Alxa, who was lucky enough to survive, was hit by the Thunderbolt again at this time because his war horse was hit again, causing him to fly out directly, and was trampled into a pulp by the cavalry of the guards on the spot.
