The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 410

Following the order of the flag and horn on Zhang Guoxuan's flagship, all the warships marched nearly [-] steps toward the shore.When these ships fired across the hull again, the dense iron balls had already hit the middle of the battle array of the Han army with the yellow flag.

The soldiers in the bordered yellow flag formation were blocked by the left-wing troops and couldn't see what was going on in the north.But people around them were constantly being smashed by shells, and seeing that the left wing was in disarray, they assumed that there was a large Ming army in ambush, and immediately panicked.

In fact, the casualties caused by more than thirty guns under six pounds are not too many for these six thousand bannermen, but people's fear of unknown dangers is deeply embedded in their genes.When a four-pound iron ball just smashed Tian Xiong's banner, someone suddenly exclaimed, "Master Tian's flag fell!"

"It sounds like there are dozens of cannons, maybe there are [-] to [-] Ming troops..."

"I can't stop it, run..."

Although some officers killed dozens of deserters one after another, panic had spread among the captive soldiers, and shells were still falling on the bordered yellow flag formation with a very high frequency. Finally, the soldiers in the middle of the battle formation also began to panic. Along with the left wing, it retreated southwestward.

The happiest one at this time is the Green Camp under Zhang Jin and Lu Ruicai.

In the past, there were tigers and wolves in front of them. When their lives were hanging by a thread, the "wolves" behind them suddenly dispersed.

Everyone turned around immediately without hesitation, the officer took the lead, followed by the soldiers, and ran wildly without looking back.

They already had more people than the bannermen, but now they saw the hope of survival and ran extremely fast, and caught up with the fleeing Xianghuang bannermen in the blink of an eye, and then they were trampled on.

The huge casualties caused by the artillery and mutual trampling brought chaos to a wider area.Although the right wing of the flag soldiers who could barely maintain their composure went in without knowing it, they screamed and looked at each other, dropped their weapons and ran after seeing countless casualties.

At the beginning of Ma Degong's time, he saw that the soldiers and horses had pushed to the front of the Ming army's formation, and was about to say a few harsh words proudly, when he heard the sound of huge artillery on Jianhu Lake.

The ups and downs of life come so fast.

Before he had time to investigate why these dozen or so small warships carried so many cannons, he saw that his rear army began to collapse from the left flank, and then the flag was broken off in the formation, and the green battalion in the front turned back and fled, and the entire army formation was in chaos instantly. A pot of porridge.

Although there were six or seven hundred guards beside Ma Degong, there was nothing he could do in the face of the flood-like rout.

He loves to gamble all his life, but he is also a master who can afford to lose. Seeing this, he immediately pointed at the general Wan Xiuhe without hesitation, "I will now promote you to be the deputy general of the Pingzhe Army, and take charge of the affairs of the entire army. Then you will lead your troops to gather as much as possible." Destroy the troops, and then quickly retreat in the direction of Zhuji."

"This..." Wanxiu said to his heart that Zhuji was in the south, didn't he run deeper and deeper into the hinterland of the Ming army?But he still bite the bullet and said: "This subordinate obeys the order."

Ma Degong took hundreds of his own guards and headed towards Tonglu, hoping that Wan Xiuhe could lead the main force of the Ming army to the south, so that he could escape to the upper reaches of Qiantang in the chaos and wait for an opportunity to cross the river.

……

Seeing the Qing army retreating, Zhu Linmi breathed a sigh of relief.

He had seen Yu Xin raise his saber through the binoculars before, and he knew that when the saber fell and more than 3000 Jaeger guns fired in succession, the tens of thousands of Jiankui coolies would turn into dead bodies.

Fortunately, the navy warship arrived in time, and quickly defeated the rear of the Qing army with a classic sea-land coordinated operation.

Then the Dragon Guard infantry line began to advance westward following the fleeing enemy.In line with the principle of saving bullets as much as possible, Yu Xin basically did not let the soldiers fire the guns, and captured most of the green battalion soldiers under Zhang Jin and Lu Ruicai.Occasionally, there are those who are stubbornly resisting, as long as the Dragon Guards shout "kill" in unison, seven out of ten soldiers will kneel down and beg for surrender.

After more than an hour, Zhu Linmei was ordering Zhang Guoxuan to dock the grain ship he brought to the north of Shaoxing City for unloading, when two messengers rushed over and saluted: "My lord, General Yu has attacked Doushan captured the bandit camp, and captured and killed more than [-] bandits.

"Another [-] captives broke out and fled to the south. General Yu, please show me, do you want to continue chasing them?"

"There's no need to chase." Zhu Linmi shook her head and said, "Let Chuangzhi take the soldiers to repair in the west of Shaoxing City, there is still a big battle to be fought.

"As for Ma Degong, he can't escape."

"Yes!"

……

Wan Xiuhe led [-] remnants of the Yellow Banner and ran all the way to the south. He didn't dare to stop until dusk to catch his breath, but seeing that the Ming army didn't come after him, he couldn't help but feel grateful for the rest of his life after the catastrophe.

A day later, he rushed to Zhuji a few miles away, and saw a pristine military camp in the north of the city, and looked at the banner in the camp. It was the sun and moon flag with a blue background held by the Ming army that killed him near Jianhu the day before yesterday. .

He was so frightened that he lost his soul, and was about to order his subordinates to turn around and run away, when he saw more than a thousand cavalrymen rushing out from the Ming army camp, so he hastily ordered to form a formation to defend against the enemy.

The cavalrymen of the Ming army held short guns, and when they reached Wanxiuhe, they immediately separated left and right, and galloped past its two wings.For a while, the flames shone, and the Qing soldiers turned on their backs.

When the captive soldiers came back to their senses and prepared to fight back with their bows and guns, the team of cavalry had roared away, circled around in the distance again, lined up in three horizontal rows, and drew out their cavalry swords one after another.

At the same time, the frontal Dragon Guard infantry line has begun to move forward...

"I thought our recruit battalion was out of battle, but I didn't expect Jianlu to come to the door by himself." A Dragon Guard cavalry proudly pointed to his companions at the corpse of Wan Xiuhe who was dragged behind the horse, "I'm lucky. The sword pierced this guy to the point of chills, as if he was still a big prisoner."

The cavalry beside him said: "I just didn't expect the captives to be so pusty. Today's battle is not as difficult as usual..."

"That's right, it made me nervous for a long time in vain at first."

"With today's victory, those veterans will still look down on us..."

"When we reach Nanjing, we will be veterans, haha!"

After this battle, the recruits of the Dragon Guards established sufficient confidence in the Qing army, and they also greatly proficient in their combat skills.The improvement of soldiers in actual combat is always incomparable to training.

Wan Xiu and He never thought that he came here with 2000 people in a hurry, but he cooperated with the Dragon Guard Army to train a soldier well.

……

Zhen Zhen lightly waved the horsewhip in his hand, with an unconcealable smile on his face, he couldn't help humming a little tune to the rhythm of the horse's hooves, which made the officers beside him smile and look sideways.

Of course she was happy, it had been less than half a year since she bid farewell to His Royal Highness the Assistant Prince, and now her army was only less than two days away from Shaoxing, and she could see His Royal Highness whom she had always dreamed of.

And just now she overtook and smashed Li Song's tribe in Qingshan Lingnan, captured more than [-] people, and captured a lot.Thinking that His Highness would definitely praise herself for this, two red clouds could not help but stain her face.
