scourge the qing dynasty

Chapter 378

(PS: There are only a few hours left in May, ask for the last monthly pass in May and book a monthly pass for June.)
"Quick! Quick! Form the formation! The first team of the Mongolian Eight Banners, the second team of the Mite Prefecture Eight Banners! The third team of infantry! Quick! Wu Dog is about to kill—!"

Amidst Kang Mazi's hysterical roar, the soldiers of the Qing army, who were still hungry so far, started to move, complaining secretly, sighing, or frowning, pressing Kang Mazi and the Qing army willingly or unwillingly. At the request of the general, he strode to his position and lined up to meet the enemy.

The infantry of the Qing army is fine. Kang Mazi asked them to hide in the safest third team. They are not easy to be hurt by the fat army and can escape for their lives. Of course, the infantry of the Qing army is happy; Since they are loyal and are in the relatively safe second team, they naturally don't have any objections.But the traitorous cavalry who were arranged by Kang Mazi in the most dangerous first team were not happy. Chahun, Ezier, Durbert, Ombu, Zashbatur and Norbu Bandi were raped. Tai Ji came to Kang Mazi to kowtow and complain, begging Kang Mazi to rearrange the queue and arrange the treacherous cavalry composed of only married sons to a safe position.

"Ridiculous!" Kang Mazi, who originally planned to use the traitorous cavalry as cannon fodder, of course could not agree to the request of the traitors, and furiously said, "Is there any reason to temporarily adjust the formation before the battle? Go to the formation immediately! If the military plane is delayed, whoever it is will be beheaded immediately!"

"My lords, have you forgotten the honor of the Mongolian cavalry? Why are you following the example of the Han dog to choose the fat and be timid?" Zhou Peigong also stood up and said loudly: "In the era of Genghis Khan, the Mongolian cavalry swept the world and was invincible. , Wasn’t the Mongolian cavalry fighting for the first place? How many years have passed, why don’t you even have the courage to stand in front of Wu Gou? Have you forgotten that you are the descendants of Canglang Bailu and Genghis Khan?”

"Your Majesty, it's not that the slaves dare not stand in Wugou." Cha Hun and the others treacherous Taiji explained, sweating profusely: "It's just the cavalry of the slaves who marched more than 100 miles in a hurry yesterday. Very tired, the soldiers didn't have time to eat, and the horses didn't have time to feed their fodder..."

"Don't be wordy!" Kang Mazi stared at him, and said angrily: "The cavalrymen of the Eight Banners of Mongolia didn't eat and rest, and the soldiers of the Eight Banners of Mite Prefecture did eat and rest again? Go and line up for me immediately! Lang Qin, you lead Shanpuying will bring swords and axes to serve as the supervising team, and anyone who retreats before the battle or does not obey orders will be killed immediately!"

"Cover!" Lang Qin Daqian agreed, and flew on his horse to form a supervisory team. Here, Chahun waited for the traitor Taiji to have no choice but to run back to the team dejectedly, commanding and ordering the traitorous cavalry to line up in front of the formation. A typical treacherous cavalry formation consisting of ten horizontal teams, each with 2000 men, one mile wide and one and a half miles thick, prepared a large number of bows and arrows and axes, and prepared to adopt the most typical Mongolian Mangu evil tactics and fat man Army to contend.

When the Qing army was busy setting up the formation, the main infantry of the Fat Man Army had already left the city in large numbers. With the back of Huai’an City, Zhou Peigong’s expected crane wing formation was laid out. The phalanx, and then these small phalanxes form a huge phalanx. The fat man’s magic weapon, the Sanhao rocket and the mother and child cannon, were pushed to the forefront from the very beginning. The black hole muzzle and the shining arrows all pointed to the Qing army. front.

Step by step, step by step, the formation of the Qing army has just taken shape, but the fat man has already established a solid position four miles away from them. ——This is also the only advantage of the Qing army.Fatty Lu led Yao Qisheng, Wang Shaobo and other confidant staff to the high platform temporarily built under the Fatty Army's banner, and commanded the battle in Huai'an from a high position. Surprised: "Is Kang Mazi crazy? It's fine to arrange a long snake formation with the weakest offensive and defensive forces, and put the only cavalry in the front and the infantry in the back?"

"Boss, you hit the spot." Wang Shaobo said excitedly: "Emperor Mangou is indeed a fool who doesn't know how to pretend to understand military affairs. He put all the ace cavalry at the forefront, which is just convenient for our three good rockets to explode. !"

"General, Mr. Uncle Shao, don't be too happy." Yao Qisheng saw something strange, and quickly reminded: "Man Gou's one-word long snake formation looks stupid, but in fact it has murderous intentions, and it just happened to target us. weakness."

Fatty Lu realized something, but Wang Shaobo was surprised and asked: "What did Master Yao say? What weakness is Mangou targeting us?"

"Understood, the dog must have guessed that our three good rockets may not be enough." Fatty Lu snapped his fingers, and explained for Yao Qisheng: "Our army is still fighting on the fourth front, and the ammunition and rockets are all consumed. The dog probably took this into consideration, so he put all the traitorous cavalry into the first team and used them as cannon fodder to consume the last few thousand Mihao rockets in our hands. The three-good artillery team, and then the full dog cavalry immediately launched a charge, directly smashing into our army flag array, capturing the thief first and capturing the king by surprise."

Yao Qisheng nodded silently, admitting that what Fatty Lu said was exactly what he thought, while Wang Shaobo hurriedly asked again: "Boss, what should we do? We have less than [-] Sanhao rockets in our hands. Once they are exhausted by the treacherous cavalry , this battle is about to turn into a vicious one.”

"Don't be afraid, we still have plenty of ammunition for grenades and firing needle guns." Fatty Lu said easily: "It is no longer the era of cavalry invincibility, and it is not so difficult for cavalry to break through our infantry phalanx." easy."

Relaxed and relaxed, Fatty Lu, who is cautious by nature, refused to leave any chance for Kang Mazi. After thinking for a while, Fatty Lu quickly made tactical adjustments and ordered: "Let the mother and child artillery team back half a mile, hide Throw in the second formation. Also, let Itambu send a soldier who can speak Mongolian immediately, I have something to explain."

The order was conveyed, and the artillery units of the Fat Army, which had been lined up in front of the formation, retreated immediately, retreating half a mile to the rear, hiding behind the first row of infantry phalanx of the Fat Army, and striving to maintain the ability to continue firing—— The mother-child cannon in the Fat Army only weighs more than 300 kilograms, so it is convenient to transfer.On the opposite side of the Qing army, Zhou Peigong saw the fat man's army making adjustments, and immediately turned to Kang Mazi and said, "Master, Wu Dog has discovered our intentions, and their artillery retreated. Obviously they wanted to use the infantry to protect the artillery team. Even when the rockets are exhausted, we can still maintain a certain amount of firepower, weakening the impact of our Qing cavalry!"

"Really? Then what should we do?" Kang Mazi asked suspiciously.

"Attack immediately, don't give Wu Dog a chance to adjust!" Zhou Peigong replied firmly.

Kang Mazi looked at the Qing army that was still in the formation, and was a little hesitant. At this moment, the guard next to him exclaimed in surprise: "Master, please take a look, there is an envoy from Wu Dog!"

Kang Mazi looked up quickly, and saw that the Fatty Army really rushed out, charging towards this side with a small white flag in his hand, Kang Mazi couldn't help sneering, "Lu Yifeng's bastard, he wants to play tricks again, don't shoot arrows, let him go!" If he comes over, I want to see what other tricks that fallen scholar can do?"

Zhou Peigong and Tu Hai on the other side looked at each other, and they both smiled wryly.But what Zhou Peigong, Tu Hai, and Kang Mazi didn't expect was that the fat army envoy didn't gallop in the direction of Kang Mazi with the fan and dragon banner. Instead, he stopped his horse in front of the Mongolian cavalry team and shouted in Mongolian. Said: "My compatriots on the grassland, I am a descendant of the wolf and the white deer just like you! I came here to tell you under the order of General Lu Yifeng of the Great Zhou Dynasty. !"

"Don't talk about your 3 cavalry. Back then in Anshun, Mangou's more than [-] cavalry were also blown up by the prince of Zhou with three good rockets in less than a stick of incense! The Emperor Mangou asked you to rush in At the front, I just want you to consume the rockets of the Great Zhou army and die in vain!"

Because the distance was too far, Kang Mazi didn't hear what the Fatty Army's raped envoy shouted, and lost the opportunity to take immediate countermeasures. The entire treacherous team who heard the Fatty's army's envoy shouted, but there was an uproar. The fat man picked out the treacherous envoy and shouted: "My compatriots on the Mongolian grasslands, run away, Man Gou is finished, escape from the battlefield and surrender to Da Zhou! Da Zhou is an anti-Qing and Ming-ming team, Da Ming and our Mongolia They are friends, Da Zhou is also friends with our Mongolia, if you surrender, the Da Zhou army will not harm you...!"

Before the words were finished, the furious Qing army supervisor team was already firing guns and arrows. Unfortunately, the treacherous envoy sent by Fatty Lu was not only good at riding, but also quite cunning. Seeing the Qing army supervisor team raising their guns and bows, He had already turned around and ran back, shouting slogans while running, and recruited the traitorous army for Fatty Lu.The raped army was already extremely poor in discipline and low in fighting spirit, and they were already extremely dissatisfied with being forcibly placed in the first team by Kang Mazi. After hearing the shouts of the fat army's raped envoy, the morale of the army fluctuated even more, and the ranks whispered , Rumors suddenly spread.

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Fatty Lu's more ruthless tricks are yet to come. At this moment, Fatty's army suddenly shot three Mihao rockets from the front of the formation, whistling and flying nearly three miles away, and exploded. , There were also three large pits on the ground.Cheers erupted in the Fatty's army, and everyone in the raped team looked ashen. The same was true for Kang Mazi, who had truly seen the explosive power of Miyoshi's rocket for the first time. He finally understood why the Qing army had lost consecutive battles in front of Fatty Lu, and he also felt a little bit regretful. Killing Yue Le—with such a huge gap in firearms, it is really not easy for Yue Le to support to this point.

"Damn Lu Yifeng's dog thief!" Zhou Peigong and Tu Hai yelled at the same time, because they could tell at a glance that the three three-good rockets used by the Fatty Army to show off their military power were obviously the two-pound three-good rockets that Wu Jun used to use a few years ago. The Miyoshi rocket of explosives, and the Miyoshi rocket currently used by the Fat Man Army has changed the explosive charge to one catty due to the cost of dense coverage, and its power is far inferior to the Sanhao rocket of the year.Now Fatty Lu suddenly resorted to the old Sanhao rocket again, obviously to scare the raped soldiers better and more effectively.

Shocked and shocked, when things got to this point, it was too late for Kang Mazi to look back, so he gritted his yellow teeth and yelled viciously: "Beat the battle drum! Raise the flag, the front team will charge! The target is the infantry of the Wugou Chinese Army!" ! Tell the princes of Mongolia that you are only allowed to move forward and not take a step back! Everyone will be rewarded for killing Wu Gou! Whoever captures Lu Yifeng’s dog thief alive will be crowned as a prince and hereditary!”

The orders and rewards were conveyed, and the war drums were beating. Even though we knew that Kang Mazi had no good intentions, considering that the traitorous Taijis of ours had long been in harmony with the Aixinjueluo family, we shared a pair of trousers and waited for the Mongolian gangsters. The treacherous Taiji still bit the bullet and issued an order to let the treacherous cavalry team charge, and the treacherous cavalry had no choice but to try their best to shout the slogan of killing all Wu dogs to embolden themselves, urging the horses to take steps and trot Gradually rushing towards the fat army's Chinese infantry formation.

Amidst the thunderous sound of horseshoes, the treacherous cavalry gradually accelerated, changing from a slow walk to a trot, from a trot to a fast trot, and gradually charging at full speed.But at this moment, the traitorous cavalry had already rushed into the three-mile range of the most powerful Sanhao Rockets of the Fatty Army. Fatty Lu made a decisive decision, and immediately waved his hand and shouted: "Only half of the Sanhao rockets are kept, and the rest are all blasted out!" Mother cannon, give me a full blast!"

The flag was waved, and Lin Fu, the deputy commander of the Fatty Army Firearms Battalion, immediately waved the red flag, and the 2000 or so rocket vehicles lined up immediately ignited at the same time, blasting out more than 150 Sanhao rockets in one breath, and the rockets dragged the gunpowder smoke out. They fired overwhelmingly at the treacherous cavalry team, and [-] sub-cannons also ignited at the same time, pouring the blooming shells and solid shells on the treacherous cavalry team at the maximum firing angle.

Immediately afterwards, the familiar Yimu once again appeared on the battlefield in the outskirts of Huai'an, and Kang Mazi finally saw with his own eyes the terrifying power of the Fat Army's rocket array, which made the Qing army's cavalry famously changed. The treacherous cavalrymen were turned on their backs, or their flesh and blood splattered, or their bodies were smashed to pieces, and what's more, they simply flew into the air like kites with broken strings, and fell into the distance with blood all over their bodies. The treacherous cavalry cried ghosts and howled in the thick gunpowder, people shouted and horses neighed, screams of panic and screams of dying were endless.

Miyoshi rockets are still firing, the mother-child cannons are still roaring, and the screams of the treacherous cavalry are still continuing. Seeing the heavy casualties in the front team, the treacherous cavalry with low morale either reined in their horses or shot at their wings. Fleeing, only four or five rows of treacherous cavalry were charged desperately under the cover of fat army artillery and rockets. The Qing army supervising team came up to attack people frantically, but the treacherous cavalry refused to charge no matter what they said, and the Qing army was in chaos in front of the formation. , Kang Mazi cursed, and had to expand the supervising team again to kill the raped soldiers and force them to charge.

The Fat Army’s Sanhao rockets are indeed too few, and it is even more impossible for less than 3000 Sanhao rockets to completely cover the cross-section of the battlefield that is one and a half miles wide. Therefore, there are nearly 3000 Mongolian cavalry that have always maintained the momentum of charging. There are actually [-] Duoqi broke through the fat army's rocket formation and approached the fat army's formation. The old Qing Jiexuan quickly ordered the fat artilleryman to adjust the shooting angle, and bombarded the nearby treacherous cavalry with cannons. Miyoshi rockets densely covered and quickly wiped out more than [-] traitorous cavalry. As the remaining traitorous cavalry gradually approached, the fat army rocket team was forced to take a big step back. The gun was forced to play the leading role, and began to adopt three-shot tactics to shoot at the approaching treacherous cavalry.

At the same time, the archers in the infantry phalanx of the Fat Man Army also started firing at an elevated angle. The bows and arrows and muskets covered the traitorous cavalry densely. In front of the heavy rain of bullets and bows and arrows, the traitorous cavalry fell down in rows like cutting wheat. , Coupled with the shells falling from the sky from time to time, the treacherous soldiers also began to collapse and flee.

Seeing such a scene, Fatty Lu was not only not a little bit happy, but his brows were tightly frowned, because Fatty Lu clearly saw that even the firing needle gun improved by himself has an effective killing range of only 70 meters. However, the horn bow of the Fat Man Army can reach more than [-] meters, causing a lot of casualties to the infantry phalanx of the Fat Man Army, and the only one of the Fat Man Army that can match the Mongolian Horn Bow in range is the primitive bow and arrow!The reason why the Fatty Army was able to stop the traitorous cavalry from rushing into the formation to fight hand-to-hand was due to the superiority in the number of bows, arrows and muskets, the temporary rush to repair the row of fragile horse fences, and the low morale of the traitorous soldiers.
Looking at the Sanhao rockets with less than [-] pieces left, and looking at the Qing army cavalry still occupying a numerical advantage in the distance, Fatty Lu couldn't help but muttered: "This battle is definitely not as easy as imagined." , as long as Kang Mazi is smart enough, even if our army can win in the end, the casualties will not be too small."

Not only Fatty Lu saw this, a messenger hurried up to Fatty Lu, clasped his fists on his horse and said: "General, General Gao Hongchen on the right wing, please order, I hope his right wing cavalry will attack and go round to charge the dogs." On the flanks of this formation, share the pressure for the Chinese army!"

"Attack the enemy's strengths with his own weaknesses, thanks to him coming up with such a bad idea!" Fatty Lu snorted coldly, and shouted: "Go back and tell Gao Hongchen to let him wait. If you want to catch the emperor, there are many opportunities. There is no order. The cavalry is not allowed to mobilize a single soldier, and those who disobey the order will be killed immediately!"

The messenger agreed, and rushed back to answer Gao Hongchen, while Yao Qisheng next to him frowned and said: "General, even if our cavalry on both wings does not move, as long as Emperor Mangou is smart enough, he will definitely send infantry to attack our army's two wings. Consuming and restraining our army's cavalry, the traitorous cavalry rushed to the front of our army's central army with all their strength, forming a momentum of confrontation, and then Mangou's most elite Eight Banners cavalry looked for an opportunity to attack and create a murderous opportunity."

Fatty Lu didn't answer, and after a long while he said viciously: "Let's waste it, we still have Han Daren's [-] troops rushing towards the battlefield with all their strength, and we can reach the battlefield in an hour at most, as long as our central army can bite the full force The cavalry of the dogs will prevent them from rushing forward, and Han Daren will attack us back and forth, and the battle will be won!"

At the same time, under the banner of the Qing army, as the gunpowder smoke gradually cleared, many treacherous cavalry rushed to the front of the fat man's army. Zhou Peigong rushed to Kang Mazi like crazy and kowtowed desperately, cheering wildly: "Master! , You are truly blessed! The number of Wu Gou’s three good rockets is already much smaller than the slaves imagined! In this battle, we still have a chance! We, the Qing Dynasty, still have hope!”

"How to say?" Kang Mazi, who was furious that half of the treacherous cavalry dared not charge forward, asked in surprise.

"Master, please look, our Qing Mongolian cavalry has rushed to the front of Wugou's formation!" Zhou Peigong pointed to the front of the fat man's army, and said with a wild smile: "If Wugou's three good rockets are sufficient, let alone 2000 cavalry Even [-] cavalry could not reach the front of the Wugou formation! But our Mongolian cavalry only rushed halfway, and more than [-] people rushed to the front of the Wugou formation. This is enough to prove that the number of Wugou's three good rockets is seriously insufficient ! Our cavalry still has the advantage, and we still have hope of victory in this battle!"

"That makes sense." Kang Mazi nodded decently, and asked again: "Then how should we fight next?"

"All the infantry are dispatched and divided into two teams!" Zhou Peigong yelled frantically: "Outflank Wugou's wings from left to right, bite Wugou's few cavalry, and bite them no matter how much it costs! Our Eight Banners cavalry of the Qing Dynasty continued Stand still and look for opportunities!"

"Also, please give me the golden command arrow, master!" Zhou Peigong kowtowed vigorously and said: "The slave will hold the master's command arrow and go to the remaining Mongolian cavalry team to boost their morale for the master, and reorganize them to launch an assault! They are going to bite Wu Gou's infantry brigade! Create a fighter for our Eight Banners cavalry!"

Since crossing the Yellow River, Kang Mazi finally made an extremely correct decision, that is, immediately took out the golden command arrow with the words "like me in person" and handed it to Zhou Peigong without saying a word. Zhou Peigong was very excited With tears streaming down his face, he took the golden arrow with both hands and kowtowed heavily to Kang Mazi, then scrambled and rushed towards the treacherous army in front.
