The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 560

"Save you, because you are a Chinese citizen, you can't just sit and watch you being bullied by captives. As for why I appear here," Qin Zuoming cupped his hands to the east, "it was His Royal Highness the Assistant Prince who pinched his fingers to figure out what troubles you have today. , specially ordered me to lead the army to help."

Do the math?Liu Wenxiu was stupefied for a moment, but quickly remembered the crisis in front of him, and hurriedly asked again: "You...General Qin brought tens of thousands of troops?"

"Four thousand white-armed troops under his command."

Liu Wenxiu was about to mount his horse immediately, "I'm going to organize the army right now, you and I can work together, maybe we can still fight. But, I don't know if General Qin can hold off the captives for two hours..."

Qin Zuoming smiled slightly, "You can fix it yourself, and leave it to me."

"General Qin, don't be joking, there are more than ten thousand captives on the opposite side!" Liu Wenxiu had fought against the Baigan Army before, and he believed that his combat power was no more than that of the Daxi Army. .

Qin Zuoming didn't want to argue with him either, "If you want to organize the army to help the war, then go." Then he looked at the approaching Jianlu army formation with a telescope, and said to the messenger beside him, "Hmph, they are actually rushing forward. Send an order to implement the 'A' plan."

Seeing that he was so headstrong, Liu Wenxiu stamped her feet anxiously, and urged her horses to gather up the defeated army.

On the opposite side, Du Lei saw Liu Wenxiu's troops running very fast, and was telling his subordinates not to let the military exploits escape, but they heard that another four thousand Ming troops had appeared.He immediately beamed with joy, and thought, he was lucky today, if he beheaded eight thousand and went back, he might be able to change to a second-rank Dingdai.

Subconsciously, he didn't take the Sichuan Ming army seriously at all, and immediately ordered the lieutenant general: "Let these bastards under your command be quick! Take down these Nanman as soon as possible, maybe we can share some soup in Chengdu. "

"Whoo!"

With the urging of the general, the Qing army's offensive momentum became stronger.The current formation doesn't care too much, spearmen, gunmen and elite infantry are all mixed together, howling and rushing upwards, for fear that half of their military achievements will be lost.

Soon, dense cannons roared in the Ming army formation.At the beginning of the period, the people in the capital didn't take it seriously-who didn't have a few Franco cannons, and the distance was still far away. It was common for the Ming army to fire indiscriminately outside the range.

However, when more than a dozen huge iron balls slammed into the formation of the Qing army, stirring up blood and minced meat, they suddenly realized that this is the Hongyi heavy artillery!

Liu Wenxiu has rich experience in battle, and immediately heard the sound of heavy artillery, and was shocked again. Could it be that these captives still brought so many heavy artillery? !It's over, Qin Zuoming's 4000 people may not even be able to hold on for half an hour...

He hurriedly looked back, but he was stunned on the spot - he saw a large cloud of black smoke rising from the side of the Ming army, and there were more than a dozen "blood lanes" in the Jianlu formation, obviously heavy artillery hit the dense crowd Forming.

No wonder the Ming army dared to come to stroke the tiger's beard. It turned out that they brought so many artillery pieces!Liu Wenxiu was overjoyed, secretly thought, recently I often heard that the Ming army used the advantage of the guns to destroy the captives in the South Zhili area, it seems that the rumors are true, but I didn't expect that the Ming army in Sichuan was not bad.

Although the Qing army took several rounds of cannons and suffered heavy casualties, the momentum of consecutive victories from Zengjiashan was still there, and they still rushed to the front of the Ming army with red eyes for more than a hundred steps, each holding their weapons, and the crossbowmen were Arrows have begun to shoot upwards.

The white pole army ordered the flag to dance, and then a bugle made of bamboo tubes unique to the Bashu area sounded. Dozens of square formations in four rows and ten columns immediately stepped forward, and the soldiers shouted in unison, "I am approaching the enemy!" !"

The four rows of spearmen on both sides of each phalanx neatly lay down the white spears measuring seven feet long in their hands, while the gunners insert the wooden frame into the ground and put their barrels on the wooden frame. The heavy-duty flintlock used by Luzheng Hongqi Firearms Battalion, but the gun machine has been replaced with a brand new one in Longnan.

More than 3000 people doing one thing in unison can create an extremely shocking momentum.Facing the phalanx of the white pole army, the pace of the Qing army subconsciously slowed down a bit, and the gunners started shooting in a panic.

But firing the guns at this distance has almost no lethality. Instead, the Baigan army waited for the Qing army to reload the gunpowder after a round of gunpowder. The entire phalanx advanced more than 20 steps following the rhythmic drumbeat.Then the battalion officer in charge of the frontline command pointed forward single-handedly, and ordered loudly, "Fire the gun!"

Immediately, the captive army screamed everywhere, and hundreds of people fell to the ground.The gunners in the first row of the White Pole Army put away their brackets and walked around until the team was finally loaded. The gunners in the second row set up their flintlocks to shoot, and then circled back again...

Although the Baigan Army was equipped with flintlocks, their previous training was still based on the Morris phalanx, and it was too late to practice the new formation in a short time.But even the Morris phalanx is more than enough to deal with the chaotic captive soldiers in front of them.

The Qing army's offensive was suddenly thwarted. Although the soldiers were still fighting back with bows and blunderbuss in a disorderly manner, their lethality was really limited.

But Dulei was still the old tactic before, a group of more than a thousand warriors circled to the right wing of the White Rod Army, gathered in a wedge formation and charged forward.

The Baigan army quickly changed formation, and twenty small square formations formed three large horizontal formations, blocking the way of the captive cavalry.The spearmen in the formation inserted the back end of the white spear into the soil, pointing the tip of the spear obliquely upward, and the whole battle formation immediately became a "big hedgehog".

The Xiaoqi of the Qing army was blocked by spears and could not enter, so they could only use bows and arrows to shoot at the musketeers in the phalanx.The result of this combat mode is obvious. Without a meal, the cavalry of all classes could not bear the huge casualties, left a lot of corpses, and retreated in embarrassment.

At the same time, the frontal phalanx of the White Pole Army began to advance steadily.Jianlu saw that he was at a disadvantage, so he planned to organize close-to-hand hand-to-hand combat several times.However, the Baigan Army is equipped with spears of various lengths. Even if they avoid the spears of one foot and seven feet in the front, they still have layers of defense with medium-length and five-foot short spears in the back.

The captive soldiers rushed several times desperately, but they were all pierced into a sieve by the spearmen of the white pole army, and finally they dared not approach casually anymore.

Liu Wenxiu just sat on the horse and watched in a daze as the white pole army pushed tens of thousands of captive soldiers back step by step, and then charged twice in the phalanx, and then the Qing army collapsed...

He pinched himself hard, it hurt, it was not a dream.

He suddenly understood, no wonder the Ming army was able to defeat the Jianlu in Jiangnan, just like the four thousand white-armed army, they are definitely an elite army that makes people fear from the bottom of their hearts!It's just, when exactly did their radical changes happen...

The battle in the south of Jianzhou City was over before dinner. Except for hundreds of Ming cavalry chasing and defeating the enemy, the other white-armed soldiers had already started cooking.

Liu Wenxiu saw Qin Zuoming and several officers walking towards her cheerfully surrounded by guards, but she simply stretched out her hands and said, "Thank you, General Qin, for your rescue. You tie me up and go to receive the reward, but please don't let me go." It’s too embarrassing for my brothers.”
