Take the arsenal to Da Ming

Chapter 209 The First Battle Between the New Army and the Eight Banners Army ([-])
A few recruits were shocked, and when they turned around, they found that the Qing soldier pulled the rein and quickly changed direction, and actually rushed towards the battle formation on his own initiative.

The battle formation was already a bit chaotic when it was rushed by the opponent just now, and the shield soldier who was sent flying hadn't even recovered yet.

At this time, facing the opponent's brutal collision, the soldiers instinctively dispersed and retreated, fighting on their own. The battle formation has existed in name only.

The attention of several new army soldiers was attracted by this Qing army soldier, but they didn't notice that another Qing army came from behind with a murderous intent.

Instead of galloping his horse, he bent his bow and set his arrows.

An unprepared soldier from the new army immediately fell to the ground with an arrow in the back, and he quickly changed another target. Although the soldier from the new army was alert, he shot too fast.

At such a close distance, there was no way to avoid it. Another new soldier fell, and the remaining soldiers were all shocked.

At this moment, a new army soldier equipped with a P38 pointed his gun at him and pulled the trigger continuously: "Bang bang bang..."

Finally, the body of the Qing army with bow and arrow was shaken, turned over and fell off the horse.

Immediately afterwards, the soldier of the new army turned his gun and aimed at another Qing army. The Qing army reacted extremely quickly. He turned over and hid directly on the other side of the horse.

There were two "bang bang", a bullet hit the horse's belly, the horse neighed under the sting, and ran even faster.

In the field of view of this soldier of the new army, where the horse passed by, three soldiers from his own side fell down in a row, with blood gushing out from their bodies. It was obviously the black hand of the Qing army who used the horse to cover his body.

In another battle formation, two spearmen stabbed their spears forward fiercely, and one of the spears just hit the right abdomen of the horse.

Under the pain, the war horse instinctively turned to the left, so the speed slowed down a bit. The two musketeers seized the opportunity and shot twice.

One shot missed, but the other shot hit the Qing cavalryman's right leg. He screamed in pain, and fell off the horse as he became unstable.

"Kill..." Seeing this, the spearmen in the battle formation quickly raised their guns and stabbed.

However, even if this Qing soldier was shot in one leg, he reacted very quickly. He immediately rolled over to avoid it, and stood up quickly, looking at the new soldiers in front of him with cold eyes.

"Kill..." He didn't retreat, but went the opposite way and launched an attack.

This Qing army soldier was so fierce that it really shocked several new army soldiers, but they still summoned up their courage to go forward.

The two sides fought fiercely together. Although the Qing army was single and weak, it still had the upper hand by virtue of its ruthlessness. This was on the premise that he had an inconvenient leg.

The musketeer was fully loaded, and immediately aimed his gun at him, as if he knew he couldn't hide. The Qing soldier screamed with wide eyes, and wanted to attack with a knife.

There were two "bang bang", this time both shots hit him, leaving two blood holes in his body, his body shook violently, and the movements of his hands also slowed down.

"Kill..." The pikemen of the new army shouted when they saw it, and stabbed forward with the pike in their hands.

There were two sounds of "pushing", two sharp spear points pierced through the armor and penetrated into the body. The Qing soldier's eyes widened, and mouthfuls of blood spewed out from his mouth.

The two spearmen of the new army gritted their teeth fiercely, retracted their guns forcefully, and two streams of blood flew out, and the body of the Qing army soldier finally fell limp.

It was difficult to kill a soldier of the Qing army, but these soldiers of the new army were not at all happy, because before that, two comrades in arms had already died at the hands of this person.

After a period of bloody battles, the soldiers of the new army discovered that the real elites of the Qing army were not only good at riding and shooting, but also very good at foot combat. Often, several of them could not suppress one of them.

Two Qing army cavalry dared to attack a mandarin duck formation of a new army, and those skirmishers who did not form a battle formation were even more thrilling, unless they were soldiers equipped with pistols or submachine guns.

Rifles may not necessarily be able to gain a clear advantage, because the opponent is too flexible and fast.

In this kind of close combat, the rate of fire and accuracy of rifles may not even be faster than the bows and arrows of the Qing army. Only continuous firing weapons can show their advantages.

This scene continued to unfold around the surroundings. The fierce Qing army smashed the battle formation of the new army and Xu Yong's soldiers, and the new army was gradually at a disadvantage.

To make matters worse, Duduo quickly sent reinforcements.

If it weren't for the fact that the terrain here was not conducive to the deployment of more troops, maybe he would have put all his troops into it.

The defense lines on three sides of the new army were all broken, and the two sides fell into a melee.

On one side of the position, Huang Hairu retreated a little under the protection of a group of soldiers. A group of Qing troops seemed to see that this place was where the main general of the new army was, so they desperately attacked.

"Deputy Commander Huang, retreat quickly, I'll lead someone to stop them..." The battalion commander shouted beside Huang Hairu.

Huang Hairu was unmoved, and gave an order with a growl: "Fire out all the machine gun bullets and submachine gun bullets, and throw out all the grenades..."

Because he knew that he could not retreat, otherwise, the army would collapse if he left.

Moreover, the current terrain is not conducive to the deployment of more troops. If you continue to hold on, you can persist. If you evacuate here, you will only lose faster and worse.

He really didn't expect Duoduo to fight back, nor did he expect the Qing army's combat power to be so strong.

But in the final analysis, I am still too confident.

Because Tang Ning and the staff department gave him Huang Hai's order to stick to Yangzhou and the Yangtze River waterway in Nanzhili.

But when he saw the enemy army fleeing, he immediately decided to attack, thinking that the Qing army would be like the Zheng army and could only flee on the sidelines, so such a good timing was the time to reap the results of the battle.

Unexpectedly, the Qing army was not the Zheng army, and the generals of the Qing army were not the generals of the Zheng army, and Duoduo was also the leading general in the Qing army in terms of military exploits and resourcefulness.

This person's courage and courage, Zheng Zhilong can only hold a candle to him, Huang Hairu is ashamed, because in that situation, he felt that he could only choose to retreat.

Therefore, he instinctively thought that Dodo could only flee in embarrassment.

Even the elite Qing army has retreated, so what do the mob have to worry about?
But Duoduo didn't follow common sense to cross it at the beginning. Although he was suddenly shelled and had to escape, he didn't really escape far.

It's about judging the situation and then resolutely making a counterattack. This kind of courage is really not comparable to that of ordinary people.

Huang Hairu guessed that it was probably because he rushed out of the city to expand the results of the battle, which stimulated Duoduo.

Otherwise, Doduo should choose a more gentle way to gather the remnants.

But now, Huang Hairu's actions forced Doduo to take risks, otherwise, the spirit of the Qing army would be worn down a lot in this battle.

And those surrendered troops are likely to be more optimistic about the new army, and then it is really hard to say what other thoughts they will have.

Therefore, Duoduo made this move, in addition to his extraordinary courage, there may be other reasons for it.

But it's too late to say anything now. The new army has encountered the biggest crisis since the war. This is not only a life-and-death battle for Huang Hairu's new army, but also a battle for the new army's reputation.
