scourge the qing dynasty

Chapter 380 Bloody Sunset

(PS: Shout again, ask for a monthly pass!)

"Warriors of the Qing Dynasty, go! Wu Gou can't hold it anymore!"

"Athletes of the Eight Banners, let's go! Wu Gou's lingering rockets are all gone!"

"Warriors of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, go! Victory is in sight, avenge our Eight Banners soldiers who were killed by Wu Gou in the Qing Dynasty! Don't destroy Wu Gou, and swear not to return to court!!"

Unable to bear the pressure of Kang Mazi, Labu and Shangshan, two hapless servants, were forced to help, and finally led the remaining 5000 Qing cavalry to charge towards the fat infantry phalanx with the door open. After the last elite of the Zhimite Qing army were also put into battle by Kang Mazi, there were only more than 100 guards, 400 soldiers from the Shanpu battalion, less than 2000 soldiers from the vanguard battalion, and some civilian officials and Yangzhou soldiers left around Kang Mazi. There are more than [-] Russian musketeers left on the battlefield, with a total strength of less than [-]. Although the Qing army is still all cavalry, the Russian musketeers still have some ammunition, but the defense of Kang Mazi has been weakened to the point of appalling .

To make matters worse, although the guards around Kang Mazi and the warriors in the Shanpu Camp and the Qianfeng Camp are all selected warriors from the Eight Banners of Hanmeng, they are brave and loyal to Kang Mazi, well-equipped and rigorously trained. However, they have never had the experience of forming a large-scale battle. On the battlefield of life and death where thousands of troops are battling with swords and guns, whether they can withstand the impact and siege of Fat Junqiu Balao Youtiao, except for the military idiot Kang Mazi, all The generals of the Qing army have no idea!
"Boss! Mangou's last cavalry finally moved!" Wang Shaobo beside Fatty Lu cheered, and quickly suggested: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to kill Mangou Emperor. Shouldn't we send a signal for a general attack?"

"Don't worry, the full dog cavalry has just started to move. At this time of the general attack, they still have a chance to cover Kang Mazi's escape." Fatty Lu calmly rejected Wang Shaobo's proposal, and when he put down the binoculars to look under the commander's stage, Fatty Lu Can't help laughing——Wang Xu, Hu Tongchun, and An Jiarong, the three infantry generals, have long been looking forward to it under the commander's stage, looking at Fatty Lu with hunger and thirst.

"Wang Xu obeys the order." Fatty Lu smiled and ordered: "Take your three phalanxes, go, and block the cavalry with all your strength."

"Decree!" Wang Xuzai immediately clasped his fists in his arms and agreed, and the joyful Pegasus went to the rear to command the troops to attack, but Hu Tongchun and An Jiarong jumped up together, and Hu Tongchun shouted: "General, the last general's team is on the second line , why do you want Wang Xu, who is at the back, to go first?"

"Uncle, my nephew's team is in the central army, and it's easier to mobilize than Uncle Wang's team, so why not let my nephew go first?" An Jiarong also yelled.

"Hurry up?" Fatty Lu scolded with a smile, "You, Hu Tongchun, have time to compete with Wang Xu, why don't you kill the dog-like infantry on the left wing as soon as possible? If they don't kill them, how can I casually mobilize the second-line team? And you Anjia Rong, your team is only 800 people, no matter how you can fight, what use is it against [-] Manchu cavalry? Honestly, just stay in the Chinese army and wait until Wang Xu stops the Manchu offensive!"

Hu Tongchun agreed, galloped to the left wing quickly, and personally commanded the battle on the left wing to encircle and suppress Cai Yurong, an infantry soldier of the Qing army. An Jiarong also agreed dejectedly. Continue to wait by Fatty Lu's side.At the same time, the more than 7000 elite infantry of the Fatty Army, which was placed at the end of the team by Fatty Lu, have also moved forward happily and rapidly under the command of Wang Xu. The front team killed the enemy and formed an formation to block the desperate attack of the Qing cavalry.

Needless to say, Wang Xu's commanding skills are naturally needless to say. Although there was interference and sabotage by the treacherous cavalry in the front line, Wang Xu directly commanded the 1 infantry of the Fat Man Army and rushed to Yao Yi before the Qing cavalry arrived. On both sides of the team, two phalanxes were quickly formed, and Wang Xu personally commanded a phalanx to merge into Yao Yi's phalanx, increasing the frontal impact resistance of the fat army's large formation.And when the three elite infantry of the Fatty Army had just formed their formation, more than [-] Qing cavalry had rushed to the vicinity like a tide.

There is no need for Fatty Lu to worry about it, nor does Wang Xu even need to worry about it. The cavalry of the Qing army had just rushed into the range of the Fatty Army's bows, arrows and muskets. The Japanese muskets fired together, and the arrowhead projectiles hit the dense Qing cavalry like hail and raindrops. Countless Qing cavalry who were shot by the arrows turned over and fell off their horses, and were immediately trampled into meat paste by the horseshoes of their companions.

The number of Qing army cavalry is too many, and the team is too dense. Apart from causing some casualties to the Qing army cavalry, the bow and arrow muskets of the fat man army did not stop the Qing army cavalry at all. The Qing army cavalry is still in the tide Generally, they rushed forward frantically, even if they trampled to death their uninjured companions, they didn't care, they just kept charging forward.Because these experienced cavalrymen of the Qing army knew very well that if they could not use the inertia of their charge to disperse the infantry phalanx of the fat army, once they were stopped by the infantry of the fat army and slowed down, what awaited them was the brutal exhaustion of melee combat.

The cavalry of the Qing army was rich in experience, and the infantry of the fat man army was even more experienced. When the cavalry of the Qing army rushed within twenty steps, the flag of the general of the fat man army flashed again, and the infantry of the fat man army inside the phalanx immediately threw countless axes and more. A large number of grenades hit the cavalry of the Qing army densely.

The elite infantry under Wang Xu's command is no better than other second- and third-rate fat army infantry. Limited by the poor productivity of this era, a battalion of 500 men in a battalion of [-] fat man soldiers only distributes forty grenades in one battle. There is less than one grenade per soldier, but Wang Xu's team has one grenade per person! (Wang Xu: Fatty Lu is eccentric, Hu Tongchun and An Jiarong are the direct descendants of the two bastards, each with two grenades!)
Thousands of grenades were thrown out, but it was definitely not a cover. It was as if a wall of gunpowder and fire had risen in front of Wang Xu's army. None of the cavalrymen of the Qing army who hit this wall of fire were turned on their backs, and all of them were bloody and bloody. , People turned on their backs and blocked the footsteps of their companions behind, and the fish that slipped through the net was caught by the slanting carbine guns of the fat army infantry.

It has already rushed to this point, and it is too late for the Qing cavalry to retreat, so they can only bite the bullet and ride forward, stabbing the fat infantry with spears and spears, and swiping their knives condescendingly to chop the fat infantry, the fat soldiers Then he retaliated mercilessly, stabbed the cavalry with a carbine spear, slashed at the horse's leg with a knife, and the soldiers on both sides slashed and stabbed the enemy like crazy. The screams of being shot, stabbed and dying were endless, blood and human flesh splashed wildly in front of the battle, and the battle was so fierce that every combatant soldier couldn't breathe.

After all, the Fatty Army defended in formation, and their coordination was orderly and skilled. Usually, two or three Fatty Army infantry fought against a Qing cavalry, those with spears and spears concentrated on dealing with the cavalry on horseback, and those with shields and short knives specialized in hacking and smashing the horses. Someone secretly fired sniper shots, the Qing army cavalry was overwhelmed, people screamed and fell down one after another, the Qing army cavalry behind was unable to kill the enemy by the comrades in front, and had to wait for the comrades in front to be cut down by the soldiers of the fat army before they could go forward to fight. It is very disadvantageous to fight if you can't expand.

The generals of the Qing army saw that the situation was not good, so they could only command the Qing cavalry to outflank the fat army's phalanx and start a deadly battle with the fat army's infantry. But in this way, the most powerful collective charge of the Qing army cavalry could not be launched. Although they were able to expand their forces and cause more casualties to the soldiers of the Fatty Army, they had no choice but to fall into the trap of attrition carefully arranged by Fatty Lu.

Everything is impossible to be smooth sailing. Seeing that his front team was mired in a war of attrition, La Bu and Shang Shan, two veteran sparrow commanders of the Qing cavalry on the battlefield, immediately understood Fatty Lu's sinister intentions. He commanded the Qing army brigade and the infantry of the Fat Man Army to consume, while Shang Shan led [-] Qing Army cavalry as a reserve team, retreated a little to organize the team, looked for a fighter to charge again, and used the momentum of the charge to break into the tortoise formation of the Fat Man Army.

Seeing that Shangshan's team retreated, Fatty Lu selflessly praised that there are always capable people in the Manchu team. No wonder they survived in history until the old traitor Wu died of illness, while Kang Mazi yelled at Monk Labu under the banner of the Qing army. Shan Shan was as timid as a mouse and incompetent in commanding the troops, so he even made the Qing cavalry who had already charged back retreat for their lives.Apart from Zhou Peigong, who had just been whipped, Kang Mazi no longer had any officials and generals who knew battlefield tactics, so Kang Mazi could only let Kang Mazi continue to yell at Labu and Shangshan's eighteenth generation ancestors.

With the expansion of the Qing army's troops, Shang Shan's team's charge line was quickly given up. At the same time, with the brutal consumption of close combat, Shang Shan finally found a breakthrough, which was the right side of Wang Xujun's right-wing phalanx. The army was weak, Shang Shan did not hesitate, and immediately ordered the Qing cavalry to charge with arrows. The three thousand Qing cavalry guarded Shang Shan in the middle, and the elite rushed forward as arrows. The main force followed behind. Open it for cover, rush towards Shang Shan at full speed and stare at the fat man's weak point.

Amidst the sound of thundering horseshoes, Shang Shan's team charged like a dragon going out to sea, or piercing through the air like a sharp arrow. The cavalry of the Qing army were mercilessly chopped down and stabbed by the elite soldiers of the Qing army in front of the arrow, forcing the friendly troops to retreat to the sides. There were earth-shattering shouts of killing and the clash of knives and guns.

"Long live!" Amidst the cheers, the soldiers of the Qing army who rushed to the front were covered in blood, with bows and arrows all over their bodies and horses, and even fat soldiers who were holding the lances tightly. Looking at the corpses of the soldiers on both sides and the bodies of the wounded soldiers on both sides, they plunged into the extremely empty fat army tortoise formation.The fat soldiers on both sides were scared out of their wits, and when they rushed to fill the gap, the two wings of Shang Shan's team had already opened up to stop them. Attack inside and outside.

As a result, this unlucky fat man's phalanx was in extreme pain. There were enemies in the front and rear directions, and they were forced to fight back to back. Watching these fat soldiers stabbing and slashing, they killed Zhao Chongyi, Wang Xu's effective deputy who commanded the phalanx on the spot. Advantage.

Seeing such a scene, Kang Mazi suddenly realized that of course he couldn't help but smile from ear to ear. He changed his words and said that Monk Labu Shangshan really commanded the troops well. Fatty's army phalanx, follow the same pattern and continue to break through internally, the sooner you can take down Fatty Lu's ugly head, the better!Only Zhou Peigong smiled wryly, knowing that La Bu Shangshan's move was a desperate struggle forced by Kang Mazi. It might be possible to break through one or two fat army formations in this way, but if he wants to break through a full twenty The fat man's army phalanx is simply a dream come true.

"Oops, General Zhao's phalanx has been breached!" At the same time, Fatty Army Commander Wang Shaobo screamed, and suggested to Fatty Lu impatiently: "General, can you send a signal to call for reinforcements? "

"No hurry, Wang Xu and the others can hold on." Fatty Lu said with a smile while sitting on the handsome chair, "Wang Xu's ability to fight surprise battles may not be as good as that of Hu Tongchun and An Jiarong, but in this kind of head-to-head battle, he can't fight to the death. More reliable than any of our generals. Wait a little longer, the longer we persist here, the easier it will be for Gao Dejie and Han Daren to attack.”

Fatty Lu's small eyes are quite accurate in seeing people. Although Shang Shan broke through the phalanx and was flanked from front to back, the infantry phalanx directly under Wang Xu still showed no signs of collapse, but kept moving back to back, forming a group struggling Resistance, not even a few deserters - this is not entirely due to the brainwashing work of the Fat Army, the key is that the front, back, left, and right of this Fat Army team are enemies, fleeing for life is equal to death, the old man of the Fat Army Qiu Ba and the others are naturally not that stupid.

Seeing the scattered soldiers of the fat army gradually approaching each other, Labu, Shang Shan and other Qing army generals secretly admired them, and hurriedly sent troops to attack again, so as to prevent the fat army from gathering again and making it even more difficult to fight.However, during the melee, the cavalry of the Qing army could not speed up, and could only approach and fight step by step. The experienced fat infantry resisted desperately, slowly but firmly approached each other, and gradually formed a group, continuing to kill the cavalry of the Qing army.

The infantry of the Fat Army, which had already been dispersed, still fought so tenaciously, which inevitably surprised the veterans of the Qing Army. Looking at the neatly arranged phalanx of the infantry of the Fat Army in front, a sense of powerlessness shrouded La Bu, Shang Shan, Tu Hai, and the others thought together that if Wu Gou's infantry fought so tenaciously, then let's not cut off the head of Lu Yifeng's dog thief. When Wu Gou's cavalry counterattacked, we might even run away I have no strength left.

Worried, Prince Jian Labu found Tu Hai in the treacherous team, and asked Tu Hai to return to the Qing army's flag formation, and asked Kang Mazi to pay gold to withdraw the troops, so as to save the strength of the cavalry and horses, so as to meet the counterattack of the cavalry of the Fat Army.But Tu Hai told La Bu with a wry smile that Kang Mazi would never listen to what he said, and the only one who could persuade Kang Mazi not to be obsessed with his obsession is probably Kang Mazi's favorite minister Zhou Peigong.La Bu thought about it carefully, and under the same wry smile, La Bu had to send a messenger back to the Qing army banner to meet Zhou Peigong, asking Zhou Peigong to persuade Kang Mazi to change his mind at all costs.

As soon as the messenger left, bursts of cheers came from the left wing of the fat army. It turned out that when the left wing of the fat army besieged the Qing army infantry led by Cai Yurong, they also shot Cai Yurong with a cold arrow, although the distance was too far to see if there was any Shoot this hard-core traitor to death, but seeing Cai Yurong fall from the horse with an arrow, the infantry of the Qing army was still in a panic, and subconsciously moved closer to the inside.

Seeing such a situation, Fatty Lu naturally decisively ordered some of the cannons to turn their muzzles, let the master of mathematics, Lao Qingjian Jiexuan, personally measure the firing angle, and bombard the densely packed Cai Yurong team with blooming shells, blowing up the Qing army's infantry to flesh and blood. Splashing, howling ghosts and howling wolves, all accelerated the collapse of the left-wing Qing infantry.La Bu, Shang Shan and others were worried, knowing that once the left wing of the Fat Army was released, life for the Qing cavalry and the treacherous cavalry would be even more difficult.

The battle was completely stalemate. Although the cavalry, infantry and treacherous cavalry of the Qing army tried their best, nothing could break through the huge tortoise formation of the fat man's infantry. They broke into the center to chop Lu Fatty's valuable head. He was also surrounded by the fat army, let alone broke into the center, even if he wanted to escape, he couldn't escape.

The situation on the right wing is a little better, but not much better. The more than 1 Qing infantry led by Dong Weiguo are no longer the army he trained in Jiangxi, and the elites trained in actual combat with the Wu army on the border between Jiangxi and Hunan. Last year, Kang Mazi recruited new recruits in Zhili Shandong. He lacked experience and had already polished his morale and fighting spirit on the battlefields of Gaoyou and Yangzhou. He didn't learn much about how to kill the enemy on the battlefield. They yelled louder than anyone else when charging, and fled faster than anyone else as soon as they fought. Even the supervising team couldn't stop them from charging backwards.Dong Weiguo was so angry that he cursed his mother, but he had no choice but to watch helplessly as this army was defeated by the entire right wing of the fat army, and the situation of fleeing became more and more serious.

The only area where the Qing army had the upper hand was the frontal battlefield. The 2 Mongolian cavalry overwhelmed several infantry units including Wang Xu, Yao Yi, and Jin Bangxuan of the Fatty Army, but Wang Xu and Yao Yi were Fatty Lu. His hard-core accomplice, the soy sauce men's gold list selection is not well-known, but in history, it happened to be the general of Wu Sangui's army who persisted on the Guangdong battlefield to the end. Wu's traitorous cousin Zu Zeqing fell, and he didn't fall , Surrounded by the Qing army dozens of times larger than himself, he still fought bloody to the death, and his willpower was extraordinary.It would be bad luck for eight lifetimes for the Mongolian mite cavalry to encounter such a few hard-core gangster leaders.

In the bloody frontal battle, the six phalanxes of the Fatty Army were almost compressed into six circular formations by the Mongolian cavalry, and there were no gaps for the wounded soldiers to sit and rest in the formation. The bows and arrows were so dense that they almost completely blocked the sun that was gradually sinking westward, but the six fat infantry soldiers refused to collapse. His intestines flowed out, he was so tired that his eyes turned black and he couldn't see anything, he was so tired that he couldn't even stand upright, he could only half-kneel on the ground to support his body, but he was still crazily stabbing with his gun and slashing with his knife. People throw away the grenade and stab it with a knife and gun, the knife cuts the blade and the gun breaks, picks up the weapon of the dead companion or the enemy to continue the bloody battle, smashes the teeth with the fist, and pulls the enemy in front of him to die together.

In front of the six fat infantry, there were six large circles of corpses of Mongolian cavalrymen and horses, layers of corpses of soldiers from both sides, and streams of blood. Even without such close combat weapons as grenades, Mongolian Cavalry casualties are still greater than theirs too!
Facing such a bloody battle, such a stalemate and rapidly expanding casualties, and looking at the still motionless Chinese army and the last phalanx behind the fat man's army, Labu, Shangshan, Tuhai and a dozen or so treacherous Taiji were completely defeated. Desperate, I understand that Fatty Lu is determined to use his infantry to consume their cavalry at all costs, wait until they are too tired to be tired, and the blood can no longer flow, and then give them a fatal blow to completely wipe them from the land of China. erase!

What the Qing army should do now, and at the same time, is the smartest choice, is to leave the besieged Cai Yurong behind, let Dong Weiguo take the rear, and then Kang Mazi leads the Mite Mongolian cavalry who barely have the last bit of strength to flee to the lower reaches of the Yellow River. Only Mazi could hope to escape the Yellow River, and the Qing army could leave behind something.

Seeing this, Zhou Peigong also hesitated to carry out Labu’s instructions when he saw the last mite state cavalry of the Qing army being bitten by the infantry of the fat army and dragged into the exhaustion quagmire. Zhou Peigong couldn't bear it anymore, he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, strode up to Kang Mazi's imperial horse, knelt down on his knees and kowtowed, and said loudly: "Master, you can't gamble anymore! Please issue an order immediately!" Ming Jin, withdraw troops and retreat!"

Kang Mazi glared at Zhou Peigong with his pockmarked eyes, and with a murderous look on his pockmarked face, he shouted angrily: "Put your mother's stinky fart on! Don't you see that my Eight Banners army has already killed Wu Dog and retreated steadily. The dog flag formation is less than a mile away?"

"Master, you are just farting!" Zhou Peigong did not know where a burst of courage came from, pointing at the battlefield and shouted wildly: "Master, do you really know how to fight? Master, don't you see that our Eight Banners cavalry and the Mongols The cavalry has fallen into the trap of Lu Yifeng's dog thief, and has been dragged into the quagmire of a war of attrition by Wugou's infantry? Don't say that our casualties are greater than Wugou's, but the casualties are the same. Lu Yifeng's dog thief traded one infantry for one of our cavalry , but also take countless advantages! Do you understand, master, how much more money will it cost to train and equip a cavalry than to train and equip an infantry? How much more food will it cost?"

"Dog slave!" Su Lun, Lang Tan, Huang Hai and other bodyguards finally came to their senses, rushed forward and punched and kicked Zhou Peigong, while Zhou Peigong continued to yell wildly: "Master, stop talking about wars on paper! Look! No, we no longer have a reserve team, our cavalry and infantry are too tired to run fast! But Wu Gou not only has infantry, but also reserves, there are also Wu Gou reserves on the two wings of the battlefield! There is Wugou's cavalry reserve!"

"The Wugou cavalrymen are not greedy for life and afraid of death. They are retreating to save their energy and horsepower! They are waiting until the horses of our Qing Dynasty are too tired to run, and the infantry is too tired to walk. They will come out again. Launch a fatal blow to us Qing Dynasty! Lu Yifeng’s dog thief’s tactic is Tian Ji’s horse racing, use his infantry middle horse to drag our cavalry to mount, drag our upper horse into middle horse or even dismount, and then his cavalry mounts and comes out , to win the final victory——!"

"Master, how long will you be obsessed with this obsession?! When Wu Gou launched an all-out counterattack, the pampered guards around you, the Shanpu camp and the forward camp, and the two-gun generals with a musket in one hand and a bong in the other, in addition to bullying the common people and gangsters. You kill the worthless officials who dare not resist! Can you save you from the encirclement?"

After being punched and kicked by Kang Mazi's guards, Zhou Peigong yelled, and in the end he yelled frantically, "Master, this is your last chance, if you don't call Jin to retreat, you will die! You If it falls into the hands of Lu Yifeng's thief, what will happen, the servant dare not even think about it—! My master——!"

Being scolded so severely by Zhou Peigong, a dog slave who has always been low-browed and pleasing to the eye, Kang Mazi was completely stunned, and he even forgot to order Zhou Peigong to be hacked into pieces and executed Ling Chi. Looking at the battlefield in the distance, under the setting sun, the corpses of soldiers from both sides on the battlefield are piled up like a mountain, abandoned flags and weapons are scattered all over the place, and the blood on the ground is like a river, dyeing the setting sun into blood, hazy and cruel .

In a daze, Kang Mazi suddenly had such a feeling, "This scene seems to be very similar to my country. It's all about sunset, and it's almost over."

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Suddenly, clusters of flames flew into the sky, exploded in mid-air, and bloomed huge beautiful flowers one after another.Seeing these flowers, Zhou Peigong, who had held his head up and stiffened the guards for beating him just now, was completely paralyzed, and even peed on the spot, howling frantically and desperately, "It's over! It's over! It must be the signal of Wu Gou's general attack! It must be Wu Gou The signal for the general attack! It's over! We are Qing! It's over!"
