1241 Right wing counterattack
Hao Yun knew that the drum sound was definitely not directed at him, but he took this opportunity to make up his mind and decided to attack the entire army!
The drum sound is really not an order given to him, but an order to command the Chinese military formation to attack.
Qi Qitao has been paying attention to the combat situation here of Hao Yun. When he saw Hao Yun occupying the Qing army's artillery position, he burst into laughter! The Qing army's artillery was destroyed, and now only the number of Qing army people could pose a threat to him!
If you have the guns and guns in your hands, will you still care about the number of Qing troops? Qi Qitao is confident that when everyone dies, he will completely destroy this Qing army! As long as you mobilize new recruits, you can torture the Qing army to death!
To be honest, Qi Qitao was very happy that Hao Yun helped him solve the biggest problem, that is the artillery of the Qing army.
The size of the Qing army's artillery was too large! As soon as they appeared, they were discovered by Qi Qitao and the others! But thankfully, Abatai did not know how to use artillery!
He saw that the other party's artillery could be pushed back and forth, and he thought his own artillery could be done. That's why he ordered people to send the artillery to the left wing.
In fact, the way to use these artillery correctly is to put the artillery on the front battlefield of Honghua Ji Qiqi Tao’s Central Army!
Because the cannons used by the Qing army were heavy siege artillery, and the range was far higher than the relatively small caliber flying dragon cannon. As long as he bombarded Qiqitao's square formation head-on, Qiqitao could force Qiqitao to take the initiative to fight!
Moreover, the infantry phalanx will have many flaws when it moves, which will facilitate the Qing army to attack. Unfortunately, Abatai did not know how to operate the firearms and wasted this opportunity in vain, so that the entire Wuzhenchao Ha camp was wiped out!
Seeing that the Qing army's artillery positions were occupied, Qi Qitao knew that his family would not miss the opportunity to destroy artillery. These are common sense for officers. So Qi Qitao got rid of his last bit of heart disease and became energetic!
He said loudly to the people around him: "The left wing has defeated several waves of enemies in a row, but our central army has not achieved much results yet. This is too embarrassing! So we must save our face and defeat the enemies we face!"
All the officers around Qi Qitao agreed. Although they
I don’t know who is commanding the left wing now? But in their impression, it should be that the chief officer of the same level as them is the decision.
Since he can fight a beautiful battle, why can't we do it? So all the officers burst out with fire! The artillery commander even proposed the idea of artillery accompanying the infantry to attack!
His idea was to use a group of soldiers to drag the cannons with ropes to offset the recoil during the cannon firing! Although this method will cause damage to people, the cannons can follow the speed of infantry attack.
This whimsical method was immediately approved by all the officers. Everyone unanimously asked to give it a try. Qi Qitao also approved it with the idea of trying it out.
There is actually not a large-scale battle on the front battlefield now, it is just that the two sides are confronting each other. The Qing army gathered a team of nearly 30,000 people on the front battlefield, and did not dare to move without any action.
If Qi Qitao had not had the support of artillery in the front, these Qing troops would have rushed up to fight with the help of the cover of the car!
Qi Qitao was discussing the attack here, and when he heard the sound of attack drums coming from the right wing! It turned out that the officers on the right wing admired Hao Yun's feat, so they were determined to follow suit!
Several commanders discussed it and drew half of the right wing's troops to form two square formations to alternately cover and press forward towards the Mongolian Eight Banners!
At this time, the Mongolian Eight Banners Cavalry had already been exhausted and their war horses were sweating all over! After all, in order to maintain the pressure on the Ming army, they also had to attack regularly, so they never got a rest.
When the two square formations on the opposite side pressed over, these Mongolian Eight Banners were in trouble! These two square formations moved forward alternately, and no matter which square formation the Qing army attacked, they would be hit by the flanks of the other square formation!
However, the soldiers of these two square formations were tightly formed and moved at the slowest speed, so they could not find any room for charge, so they forced the Mongolian Eight Banners to retreat step by step.
After they retreated for a long time, the commander of the Eight Mongolian Banners made a fierce attack! As a result, the cavalry did not break through the square formation in front, but was also hit by another square formation with a musket on the flank! In just a few minutes, more than a thousand corpses were left behind and obtained
The results were just killing more than 300 spearmen on the other side.
The soldiers of the Eight Mongolian Banners hurriedly retreated, but the dispatch was not effective for a while. The soldiers who went into battle collided with the retreating soldiers and squeezed into a group! They were caught up by the infantry formation and stabbed with a spear! They killed more than 400 people again, completely defeated the Eight Mongolian Banners, and forced them to leave without looking back.
This time the threat from the right wing was completely defeated. But this commander was also a bold and arrogant person! He actually directed the phalanx and drew an arc and moved forward slowly. He began to try to squeeze the Qing army flanks on the front battlefield from the right wing!
Qi Qitao laughed again after receiving the good news and immediately said, "There are such heroes among my brothers. It is really easy to break these thieves!"
Qi Qitao understood that all his victory was that the left wing withstood the enemy's attack and launched a counterattack! Nali attracted almost all the attacking forces of the Qing army. As for the lack of troops on the front and right wings of the Qing army, this gave them a chance!
But how could you miss the opportunity? Qi Qitao immediately asked someone to beat the marching drum and command the central army to move forward slowly. The marching drum that Hao Yun heard was ringing at this time.
At this time, Hao Yun had gathered all the musket soldiers together and arranged a super large hollow square array. He met with the slowest and stable speed. At this time, it is wise to use the most conservative means to ensure the results of the battle!
At this time, the Qing army opposite Hao Yun was in a mess! Because everyone wanted the other party to launch an attack first, but no one dared to act without action!
When Tan Tai of the Zhenghuang Banner attacked the Ming army's central army, not only did he get a lot of people. Although they still used this trick of the horse Chongzhen, they were stopped by the soldiers of the army who had prepared for it. Instead, they were beaten hard by the musket, and many people were killed and injured and retreated.
Tan Tai pointed at Li Kaiping with a horse whip and said, "Your Han army flag will rush forward, and I will hold you in the back! As long as you open the hole, I can rush in!"
