Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

Page 263

The Musketeers and Pikemen below shouted together: "Invulnerable!"

Not to mention, this yell was quite useful. The first salvo of the Qing army really didn't kill a few people - this is of course because the Qing army was too far away from the Ming army when they opened fire, and the front of the Ming army The platoon fighters all wore bulletproof breastplates.

This kind of breastplate is made of crucible steel, and it's quite thick. A pair of breastplates weighs twenty catties. At a distance of twenty or thirty steps, there is still a high probability that it can withstand a flintlock gun. fired bullets.

After discovering that he was really "invulnerable", Hong Xiguan also regained his spirits. He remembered the "close-range salvo method" he had heard when he was studying in the Xiaoling Guard Academy!Although the official infantry regulations of the Ming army do not advocate close-range salvo, it is believed that doing so may make the soldiers too nervous and affect their performance.

But since they are all "invulnerable", what is there to be afraid of?Come closer and hit it right!

So Officer Hong Xi did not order to stop the advance, but continued to press up with his three battalions.

Soon, they ushered in the second round of salvo from the Qing army!

"Invulnerable!"

Hong Xiguan once again took the lead in shouting.

This time the bullet did not hit him, but dozens of soldiers from the third battalion led by him were knocked down. Although at this distance, the bullets of the Qing army still could not penetrate the breastplate of the Ming army, but the breastplate could not protect them. Live the whole body.

However, the screams of the soldiers who fell on the ground were covered by the shouts of "invulnerability"-in fact, when they shouted "invulnerability", the enemy's bullets had already hit their armor. They flew past.

Therefore, the soldiers of the Ming army who were advancing did not find that there were many casualties on their side, so they still advanced at a walking speed.

But the musketeers on the Qing side were already a little panicked. Of course they heard the cry of "invulnerability", and they also found that the bullets they fired didn't seem to knock down many enemies... The enemy was wearing steel armor , Is it really invulnerable?

Chapter 613 God bless Daming, the Qing Dynasty is coming to an end!

"Invulnerability! Invulnerability! Invulnerability..."

The three battalion-level line arrays and drums moved forward neatly with the sound of footsteps and the slogan "Invulnerability".Rows of bayonets and spear points undulate up and down, together with the breastplates worn on the first row of soldiers, reflecting a dazzling light.Looking at it from a distance, it seems that it is really a heavenly soldier who descended from the sky!

By the way, there are really heavenly soldiers!

There are at least four heavenly soldiers sitting in the "magic ball" floating in the sky, these are real heavenly soldiers.And they must be the Heavenly Soldiers from Daming, because there is a banner hanging under the "Magic Treasure Ball" they are riding on, with four large characters written on it - God Bless Daming!

Now there are Da Ming musketeers on the ground who are invulnerable to swords and guns, and Da Ming soldiers in the sky, how can the Qing Dynasty fight?

"Bang bang bang..."

The Qing soldiers on the battlefield fired their muskets again, but this time it was no longer a volley, but rather messy gunfire.Although the training level of these Qing army musketeers is not low, it may not be much worse than any European army of the same era.But their enemies are too strong and terrifying!Even if these Qing soldiers had steel-like will, they couldn't bear it anymore.

Under tremendous psychological pressure, the ranks of the left wing of the Qing army were chaotic, gunshots and shouts were chaotic, and choking gunpowder smoke filled everywhere.The musketeers of the Qing army can't hear orders, can't see the enemy clearly, and their mentality has collapsed.Therefore, the grassroots Zuoling and Dadan of the Qing army were no longer able to command the troops below.In fact, most of Zuoling and Dadan were also stupefied by the "unbeatable" iron soldiers, and they couldn't give any other orders except shouting "Shoot! Shoot!"

At this time, Zhang Zhongqi was still holding his shoddy flintlock musket, tremblingly took out a round of fixed ammunition, bit open the shell casing, poured some primer into the fire door, turned the muzzle upwards, and put the The butt of the gun was pressed against the ground, and then the remaining gunpowder and bullets were stuffed into the muzzle together with the paper shells, and finally tamped with wooden sticks.Although he was trembling with fear, he barely finished loading, raised the flintlock and pulled the trigger, shooting out a lead bullet that would go nowhere.

But most of the Qing soldiers who fought side by side with Zhang Zhongqi were already so nervous that it was difficult to finish reloading!Some people even tried to turn around and run away, including Dequan who was standing in front of him.When Dequan turned around, Zhang Zhongqi had just finished a shot. Seeing that the man who blocked him wanted to run away, he quickly grabbed the boy and said in a heartbroken tone: "Dequan, you are really Manchurian. I am sorry to my ancestors... I have to die like a dead man!"

After being reprimanded by him, Dequan burst into tears: "But they are cheating, they are invulnerable, and they still have heavenly soldiers... Grandpa Zhang, the Qing Dynasty is coming to an end!"

"Don't talk nonsense..." Zhang Zhongqi hurriedly covered Dequan's mouth, he liked this child very much now, but he couldn't let this child be dragged and chopped up by Zuoling and Dadan who were supervising the battle.

At this moment, screams came from behind Zhang Zhongqi.This is the third row of pikemen stabbing the fleeing musketeers!

The most powerful part of this line infantry formation using flintlock guns as the main weapon is that it is not easy to run one by one.Zhang Zhongqi needs Dequan to block bullets, and the pikemen behind him also need him to block bullets.Not to mention letting him run away, he is not even allowed to get down... unless he is dead or cleverly pretending to be dead!

"Don't be afraid, Dequan, don't be afraid...we will lie down when their guns are fired, and lie down before their guns fly over, so we won't die! Listen to grandpa, grandpa won't lie to you of!"

"Well, Grandpa Zhang, I'll listen to you..."

When Dequan was finally tricked by Zhang Zhongqi into standing back to his original position to act as a human shield, the Ming army on the opposite side had already approached less than thirty steps away from the left flank of the Qing army while shouting "Invulnerability".

Although the muskets of the Qing army kept outputting firepower, the breastplates and iron helmets they wore were quite reliable.They resisted most of the bullets. Although some people were hit on the arm or thigh from time to time, the medical officers of the Ming army had enough allicin on hand to reduce inflammation. Therefore, as long as the bullets were taken out by surgery, and they were properly raised for a few months, they would be healthy again. What a great boy!

Officer Hong Xi's heart also rose to his throat, and now the troops responsible for attacking the Qing army's front and right wing had already started shooting at the Qing army at a distance of thirty to forty steps.Only the three battalions under his command kept approaching despite the rain of bullets from the Qing army!

Although protected by breastplates and helmets, casualties are still inevitable.Moreover, the breastplate can only block lead bullets at a distance of twenty steps, and it will still be pierced if it gets close.

Therefore, he must accurately measure the distance and stop the troops at the most suitable distance.But at this moment, the front of the Qing army was filled with smoke, Hong Xiguan couldn't see the figures clearly, and didn't know if those people were still there?

Just as he was hesitating whether to move forward, the miracle of "God Bless Daming" happened.A gust of westerly wind blew and pushed the smoke eastward, Hong Xiguan's vision suddenly became clear, and what caught his eyes was an array that was about to collapse but hadn't collapsed yet.The Qing troops in the front row were completely flustered, and they retreated one after another. Some wanted to turn around and run away, but they were blocked by the Qing troops in the back row... Moreover, Officer Hong Xi also discovered that those Qing soldiers who were held up in front by the Qing soldiers in the back row The soldiers are all children, and their immature faces are full of expressions of fear.

But Hong Xiguan will not soften his heart!

"Blow the suona!" He yelled loudly.

The two suona soldiers following behind him immediately raised their suonas in their hands, and blew out a sharp and piercing sound with all their strength.

The soldiers who were still shouting "Invulnerability to swords and guns" immediately fell silent when they heard the suona sound.Then it was the commanders of the battalions who gave the orders.

"The whole battalion... stop!"

"All collars... stand at attention!"

With three bang bang bang bangs, the soldiers of the Ming army from the three battalions on the battlefield stepped on the ground with their right feet in unison, and all stood at attention.

Then there was no extra action, just in the sound of the officers' passwords, the musketeers in the first two rows all leveled their bayonet-mounted flintlocks and aimed at the Qing army more than twenty paces away.

To be finished!

This idea flashed in the minds of all Qing army officers and soldiers!

"aim!"

The leaders of the Ming army musketeers shouted.

Of course Zhang Zhongqi could understand what the other party was saying, but he didn't dare to get down, nor did he dare to run away, because he knew that there was a spear pointed at his back at this moment!

So he could only grab Dequan's clothes desperately, use this young man as a shield, and then stare at those black muzzles...

There was a brief silence on the battlefield, and everyone held their breath, waiting for the impending eruption.

"shot!"

Hong Xiguan yelled again at the top of his lungs.

Then there is the piercing suona sound.

The musketeers of the Ming army who heard the sound of suona again immediately pulled the trigger, and countless muzzle flames suddenly flashed on the front formed by the three battalions, accompanied by thunderous roars!The gunshots rang out, and the bullets swept across the ground like a storm, penetrated into the chaotic queue of the Qing army, tore their cloth face armor with the most violent force, and made continuous puffing sounds, which brought a wave of excitement. A puff of blood mist, the lead bullets injected into the human body are extremely lethal, they will shatter, deform, and roll in the human body, multiplying the wound area in the body several times, and sometimes they will explode from the other side of the human body. Get out, and take away a large piece of flesh at the same time... For the dying wounded, this is simply a desperate pain.At the same time, almost all the soldiers in the first two rows of the Qing army fell to the ground, and screams resounded across the battlefield.The fallen human body and the blood flowing from the wound formed a red and blue death zone in front of the Qing army!

With just one round of salvo, the left wing of Gushan, the central army of the Qing army's Zhenglan Banner new army, was completely destroyed!

Chapter 614 Run quickly, Lao Yueyue, Daming really has heavenly soldiers!

"Dodge, dodge, Dequan, really dodge..."

Not all the people lying on the ground were dead or about to die. There were also experts like Zhang Zhongqi who "can dodge bullets". The moment he heard the gunshot, he immediately fell down with Dequan standing in front of him. .This action is so fast!

Because he "hid" quickly, Mr. Zhang was unharmed, not even a single hair was hurt.His ears were buzzing, but he still didn't forget to brag about it with his "little brother" Dequan.But Dequan ignored him, and was still trembling and twitching.Zhang Zhongqi, who had a lot of experience in the battlefield, immediately realized that something was wrong, quickly got off De's body, and then turned the boy who was lying face down with force.Sure enough, Dequan didn't dodge the bullet well enough, he dodged too slowly.At this moment, a big hole appeared in the cloth mask on the chest, red blood was still flowing, the sound of ho ho was still coming from the throat, blood was still spurting out from the mouth, and the eyes were full of fear and pleading, It seemed that he wanted to ask Zhang Zhongqi to rescue him again.

Zhang Zhongqi also knew that Dequan was hopeless...but the old man was very good at comforting others. He held Dequan in his arms and said to him in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, the injury is not serious, just scratches Pi, just close your eyes and rest for a while..."

"boom……"

Another deafening bang!

This is the second musket salvo of the Ming army!The previous volley had stunned the Qing army. Almost all the Musketeers standing in the first two rows lay down, but most of the Pikemen in the third row were still standing there stupidly.So Hong Xiguan decided to send them another round of salvo to send them on the road!

After two rounds of volleys, Gushan collapsed in the middle of the Qing Army Zhenglan Banner New Army Middle Road!It's not that their left wing collapsed...their left wing basically doesn't exist anymore. Although there are still many survivors who fell to the ground and pretended to be dead like Zhang Zhongqi, they no longer have the courage to organize and line up with the Ming army again.

And the direct cause of the Qing army's Zhenglan Banner New Army Middle Road Gushan collapse was that Yue Le's precious son, Tong Saileng, couldn't stretch his forehead!

He had already found out that his left wing was going to do something bad - he met an invulnerable heavenly soldier, so could it not be a bad thing?

But after all, he is not someone who stands on the front line and gets shot, so he can barely watch while riding on a tall horse.But when Hong Xiguan's Ming army fired the first round of salvo, the thunderous gunshot startled the war horse under his crotch.And this elder brother of Lord An's family is really not good at riding horses, and the horse under his crotch was thrown off when he made a fuss.

Several Goshha who were guarding him hurriedly helped him onto the horse, and just as he got up, there was another burst of "boom" gunshots over there!

This time, he didn't roll off the horse again, but turned his horse's head and ran towards Ama Yuele.While running, he yelled on the horseback: "Ama, Ama, there are really heavenly soldiers, run!"

Not to mention, he is quite filial, and he didn't forget his prince and father at the critical moment.

But as soon as he ran like this, the officers and soldiers of the Qing Zhenglan Banner New Army Zhonglu Gushan collapsed.

First, the royal guards and Geshha who were protecting the forehead of the Sereng ran away, and then the vest soldiers who were scouts and vanguards who suffered disasters quickly followed when their master ran away, and then the artillerymen who were setting up their positions Don't do it anymore - before they are ready, the left wing collapses first. Seeing that the invulnerable real sky soldiers of Daming are about to shoot them, and the cavalry who are supposed to protect them slip away first, what are they doing?Run for your life!

Those who shrank behind all fled. How could the musketeers and pikemen of the Eight Banners New Army who were shot in the front stand up?

Moreover, the Ming army who lined up with them to be shot was also an elite old Guangdong brother soldier, and their platoon was also "invulnerable"!Although they didn't adopt the tactics of approaching and shooting, their marksmanship is not bad, and they reload quickly, and they have the upper hand in a round of rounds of shooting.After ten rounds and eight rounds, the front of the Qing army was also in chaos, with dead bodies and dying people everywhere. Not only the musketeers in the front couldn't bear it anymore, even the pikemen behind them were scared. pale.Now the Selen'er, the cavalry, and the artillery who were supervising the battle behind them all ran away. Would they wait to die if they didn't run away?

Just as the Qing army began to flee across the Gushan line in the middle of the Zhenglan Banner and Xinjun Road, the drums of "dong dong dong" also sounded at the same time.

"Come on!" Official Hong Xi, who had just commanded the troops to defeat the left wing of the Qing army with close-in shooting tactics, had already adjusted the pikemen under his hands to the front row. Now that he heard the sound of the drums, he put his hands down With the spear, he personally led the team to launch an assault!

"Kill..." Thousands of people shouted, and then surged forward together, but instead of bayonet assault, the spears opened the way, and the bayonets followed-the reason for adopting this tactic was mainly because they wanted to give the spears Soldiers look for opportunities to make meritorious service.The Ming army couldn't cancel the pikemen because the cavalry was too weak, but if the enemy's cavalry didn't come, they had nothing to do.

Therefore, facing the defeated Qing army, the commanders of the Ming army in three directions released elites holding spears.I saw them holding spears as long as one foot and three feet in a row, and they didn't care much about the formation. They just shouted and ran forward, as if they wanted to plunge the spears in their hands directly into the back of the Qing army in front of them. back……

This Gushan of Zhenglan Banner's new army has completely collapsed, and the tide of the crowd is rushing towards the other Gushan Qing soldiers who are spreading out and exchanging fire with the approaching Ming army - Yue Le's army is head-on. Entered the Ming army's pocket array.Because Gushan of the Zhenglan Banner Zhongjun was at the forefront and opened up a wide front, he was the first to be beaten by the Ming army who rushed forward.However, with the help of "heavenly soldiers", Yu Xiaoqian and Qiu Hu, who can completely control the situation of the Qing army's deployment, of course will not just hit the Qing army's head and let them go, so the Ming army in the four towns also divided their troops. Two lines came up from the left and right sides of Yue Le's army.

However, Yue Le was able to withstand the attack of the Ming army before Zhenglan Banner's new army was defeated in the middle road Gushan. After all, he still had more than 100 soldiers in his hand. You can use columns to meet the enemy.

Of course, Yue Le didn't forget to send reinforcements to Gushan, the middle road of his Zhenglan Banner new army. He transferred a total of ten officers and asked them to bring cannons to support.But to his surprise, Gushan, which he personally led, was defeated in a very short period of time, and the fleeing soldiers even overwhelmed several leading columns that went to support them.The remaining leading columns that hadn't collapsed had no choice but to deploy a hollow phalanx on the spot to avoid being swallowed up by the Ming army flooding in like a tide.

Yue Le can also be regarded as a famous veteran general. He has fought half his life in battle. Before that, he commanded troops to fight against Dengzhou, and also captured the outer city of Dengzhou - this is one of the few victories after the Qing Dynasty against the new Ming Dynasty!

However, the situation he encountered in the Battle of Wulin this time was far beyond his expectations... He had so many cavalry to cover the army, and he was on the flat plain, how could he be ambushed by the Ming army? Woolen cloth?

This is completely unreasonable!

Just when Yue Le was feeling unbelievable, his dutiful son Sai Leng'e suddenly rushed into Yue Le's Chinese army tent crying, and before Yue Le could react, he grabbed Lao Tzu's arm and dragged him out. Shouting: "Ama, the Qing Dynasty is over, the rebels really have heavenly soldiers, let's run!"

Yue Le was getting old, and he was dragged out of the big account by his young and strong stupid son.He didn't realize it until he was outside, and he slapped Xiaozi's face with his hands, "What nonsense are you talking about? How can the rebels have any heavenly soldiers? Only the Qing Dynasty has heavenly soldiers!"

Sai Leng, who was beaten, looked aggrieved, covered his face with one hand, and pointed to the sky with the other: "Ama, look for yourself! Look for yourself! If that's not a heavenly soldier, then what is it?"

Before Yue Le understood what was going on, Geshha beside him was already yelling.

"My lord, there is a ball in the sky!"

"My lord...there are traitors in the sky!"

"My lord, the traitor has gone to heaven!"

What's all this mess?

Yue Le was bluffed by the people below, and he also looked up to touch the sky, and saw the four hot air balloons as soon as he touched it.Now he was also confused, why did such a big ball go up to the sky?Are those balls from the Ming army?How did they get up there?

When I was in a daze, someone suddenly shouted in my ear: "My lord, it's not good, the traitor bag is almost behind us..."

Chapter 615 Sold, there are heavenly soldiers, run away!

Daqing was sold!

Daming has Heavenly Soldiers!

I am defeated again!

run quickly...

As the current number one general in the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Kangxi's most important uncle, Prince An Yue Le's military judgment is still very strong.He made four very correct judgments immediately!

First of all, he was betrayed... either by Wu Yingxiong or by Wu Guogui!It's also possible that they sold it together!

The feigned surrender and the burning of Chibi must all be false!

Their purpose is to lure the main force of the Eight Banners and New Army of the Qing Dynasty to the north bank of the Yangtze River where the paddy fields and rivers are densely covered, and to be wiped out by the Ming army... All his troops were ambushed by the Ming army as soon as they arrived near the Inner Jingjiang River. This is the iron proof of being betrayed !

If Wu Guogui's people really set fire to the Ming army's naval division in Chibi Mountain, burned down the pontoon bridge on the Yangtze River, and burned the Wulin Ming army into a lone army, how could they arrange an ambush circle so calmly?

Moreover, the Ming army's ambush circle was so ingeniously arranged, and the timing of the attack was so precise, as if they had predicted the Qing army's marching route and troop strength in advance. This can also prove that the two villains Wu Yingxiong and Wu Guogui sold the Qing army !

Secondly, there are really heavenly soldiers!

There are heavenly soldiers in the sky, and there are heavenly soldiers on the earth!

The heavenly soldiers in the sky are not sure whether they are humans or immortals, and they don't know what they plan to do?But it must be from Daming.

And the heavenly soldiers on the ground are also unbelievably fierce... They are completely different from the Ming army that the Qing army encountered in Dengzhou and the Ming army that they encountered in North Korea!

This time the heavenly soldiers encountered by the Qing army on the north bank of the Yangtze River had "invulnerable" armor, and they dared to advance under the noses of the Qing soldiers before firing.And their infantry is very flexible on the battlefield!Not only can the ambush circle be quickly deployed, and the attack can be launched before the Qing army completes its deployment, but it can also quickly detour to the Qing army's rear!If it weren't for the large number of Yue Le's cavalry, which could cover the curtain so large, his 10,000+ army would have made dumplings.

But even so, the Eight Banners vest sent out by Yue Le was unable to prevent the Ming army's infantry from detouring and interspersing, and could only delay them for a while.

But when the battle was fought for this sake, Yue Le knew that he had already lost!The defeat was still very aggrieved. His 10,000+ army worked hard and walked for dozens of miles to attack, but before they had time to deploy, they were beaten up by the Ming army who suddenly pounced on them, and they were powerless to fight back!And since the first Ming army had already detoured behind him, he didn't even have a chance to fight the Ming army properly.

Yue Le knew that if he didn't want the whole army to be annihilated, he had to run away immediately...it might not be safe to go to Xiangyang, it's better to go directly to Xi'an!

After understanding his situation, he didn't bother to pursue the responsibility of his son Seleng'e's defeat. Instead, he immediately asked two veterans, Zhao Guozuo and Laita, to clean up the people in Gushan, Zhenglan Banner Middle Road. The defeated troops retreat first - this army is Yue Le's old base, and the ten officers under him are all his confidantes. As long as this army is still there, Yue Le still has the capital to hold power, so no matter what Get out first!

He let his solid mountain stand in front before, but he didn't want them to take the lead, but he wanted them to assume the task of occupying the starting position and covering the main force to complete the deployment.Unexpectedly, he was beaten up by Da Ming's soldiers, Yue Le's heart ached to death.

So now he doesn't care about face anymore, and directly uses his command power to let his direct descendants run first, and then it is the turn of the remaining eleven Gushan.
