Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 398 Blocking
The slogan of capturing Hong Chengchou alive was specially thought up by Yan Yingyuan, in order to create psychological pressure on the Qing army, making them think that the main force of the Guards had been overwhelmed, and the purpose was directly to capture their commander alive.

Yan Yingyuan led the 21 guards directly under the Association to charge towards the artillery of the Qing army. One by one, they turned the Chongzhen Type [-] flintlock guns on the horse, using three points and one line, and the bullets accurately pierced the condensed air. , directly penetrated the cotton armor of Qing army artillery, and the explosive force of nitrocellulose, which is more powerful than black powder, exploded. The artilleryman was directly rushed up under the powerful impact force, and then fell to the ground severely, splashing slush all over his body.

The [-] cavalry of the Qing army guarding the artillery came to kill them. Seeing that Yan Yingyuan and other guards were only a small group of Ming troops, they had nothing to fear, and they also drew their bows and set arrows to kill Yan Yingyuan and others while shouting.

And Yan Yingyuan also knew that there were few people on his side, so he didn't fight head-on with the large-scale cavalry of the Qing army, so he immediately retreated.

Here, Hong Chengchou, the main force of the Qing army, became a little nervous when he heard the gunfire from Wu Sangui's direction, and hurriedly ordered the main force of the Qing army to move closer to Wu Sangui's direction for support.

Seeing Yan Yingyuan and other small groups of Ming troops retreating into the boundless snowy field, Wu Sangui felt a little relieved. At this time, the [-] troops under his command were heading towards the defensive position at Sun's Ferry, but because Yan Yingyuan and other small groups of guards Wu Sangui had no choice but to order the [-] troops under his command to be lined up with the firearms battalion in front, the cavalry to attack from the two wings, and the archers to replace the firearms battalion at any time after the firearms battalion.

Most of the troops under Wu Sangui's command were former Liao soldiers with rich combat experience. Naturally, they fought well. The front row was the firearms battalion equipped with flintlock guns, and the second row was the firearms battalion equipped with bird guns. Behind the firearms battalion in the second row are archers. The reason why archers are placed is to supplement shooting due to the gap between gunpowder and bullets.

And behind the firearms soldiers and archers there is Wu Sangui's supervising team. This is the method Wu Sangui learned from the former Zhejiang soldiers. Not turn around and run.

Most of Wu Sangui's cavalry are holding three-eyed blunderbuss, and there are also archers. These cavalry are all Wu Sangui's Dingjing cavalry, and their combat power is not weaker than that of Manchurian iron cavalry. At this time, go to the camp of the First Corps of the Third Army of the Guards When he came, he was quite imposing, slashing towards the left and right sides like two sharp swords. The crunching footsteps and rumbling drums made the air in the entire Sun Family Ferry seem to be dignified.

Wu Sangui held a spear and led his spearmen to the back, his eyes were fixed on the front like lightning, this was the last capital of his Liao soldiers, and half of the Liao soldiers who followed Azig to the south were lost Lost in the hands of the guards, now in order to help the unification of the Qing Dynasty and to achieve his own extraordinary achievements, he brought out the last family he had left behind in Liaodong.

Although most of the [-] Liao soldiers are newly added green battalion soldiers, the essence is his foundation of Liaodong military aristocrats, so he really wants to deal a painful blow to the guards in this battle of crossing the river. The shame of being beaten by the guards and fleeing back to the Qing Dynasty with only a few hundred remnants.

When the enemy met, Wu Sangui and other generals of the Liao soldiers of the Qing army hated the guards to the core. They gritted their teeth and laughed coldly, showing a bloodthirsty look. At the end, like layers of firewood, it angered the First Corps of the Third Army of the Guards.

More than [-] troops from the First Corps of the Third Army of the Guards under Qin Zuoming's command had already ambushed in trenches and bunkers, and they were all covered in snow-white.

The soldiers of the guards were like sculptures in the snow field, crawling quietly in the trench like a rock, holding the cold gun tightly in their hands, their eyelashes frozen by the ice never blinked, and staring at the approaching people like eagles. The Qing army from Wu Sangui's department came.

An infantry soldier of the Guards who had his legs broken by the red cannon of the Qing army was still crawling on the snow. What was showing on his face at this moment was not a look of pain, but a look of hatred.

He wants revenge, the cold snow makes him forget the physical pain, but it burns his beating heart.

The hot blood ran on every guard soldier.

Even the chief general Qin Zuoming was chewing the icy snow solemnly at this time, letting the biting ice crystals cut his heavy breath in his hot mouth.

At this moment, he thought of his aunt's heroic appearance on the bloody battlefield, and the scene of his father being killed by the Qing army in the same situation.

The man's heart is as strong as iron, and the god of death and the god of war are always accompanied by him. It seems that the breath of death is approaching, and it seems that life is also appearing. None of the [-] guards of the Han family made a sound. They only waited for the Qing army to come. arrival.

Five hundred steps!
Three hundred steps!
Two hundred steps!
"beat!"

Qiongyu was suddenly startled in Zandi, and it shattered on the withered grass roots. Following Wang Fuzhi's scolding, the bullets full of blood broke free from the barrel of the Chongzhen [-]-style flintlock gun.

The bright flames pierced the icy Xue Ye, and the cold barrel began to become scorching hot.

The gunshots sounded, and the white smoke added to the chilling atmosphere. It was pungent and aroused the surging heart of the Guards soldiers to kill the enemy. It was the smell of gunpowder, and it was also the smell of war and death.

The shooter was the First Infantry Type A Battalion of the Second Corps of the Third Army of the Guards Army, and the commander was Wang Fuzhi.

At this time, he is no longer the frail scholar of the past, but a burly and magnificent tough man.Those with him are Han Jiaerlang who has forged a body of steel and iron. He has long concealed the softness of the past, and flaunted the steel of today.

Qin Zuoming didn't put all his troops into battle. As a general with a long history of family education, he could guess that he would face a large-scale counterattack by the Qing army after blocking the Qing army's retreat, and he only had 7 troops. Use the least force to achieve the greatest lethal effect, so as to achieve the goal of blocking the main force of the Qing army on the north bank of the Yellow River.

The Guards has three infantry battalions on the south bank of the Yellow River, as well as an artillery battalion and a cavalry battalion, but now the other two infantry battalions, artillery battalion, and cavalry battalion have not started to attack, and they are still just watching quietly. Camp performances.

The Chongzhen [-]th-style flintlock gun has a range, shooting accuracy, and bullet penetration that are much stronger than the Chongzhen [-]-style flintlock gun. Therefore, after more than [-] infantrymen of the Guards pulled the trigger and fired, the Qing army immediately Then he was shot down.

Some Qing soldiers had their heads lifted, and blood and brains were sprinkled all over the snow, or they were shot in the chest, and the blood was smeared, and the whole person was taken away even with the firearms in their hands. Or they were shot in the abdomen and fell to the ground and were dragged far away by inertia, drawing red bloodstains on the white snow, and some were shot in the legs and feet and cried on the ground.
