Chapter 118: Breakthrough
However, at the request of Duoduo, a trench nearly ten feet wide had already been dug outside the three major camps of the Qing army. The trench was filled with sharp wooden forks, and the offensive of Zhang Hong and others was temporarily blocked.
However, the camp gate of the Qing army's central camp had long been broken by the Ming army, which allowed the Ming army to avoid the trenches and continuously attack Duoduo's central camp.
Although Xue Laoer's charge was stopped by Jiala Ezhen under Duoduo's command, he personally led hundreds of Eight Banners soldiers, but he did not give up. Instead, he became more and more brave and led his troops to attack the Qing army's defense line many times.
As a veteran for many years, Xue Laoer is now the number one general under Zhou Shixian. This battle tonight is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him. It is at this time that he will kill the enemy for the country and make achievements.
Moreover, Duoduo's king flag was right in front of him, only a few hundred steps away. If he could kill and push it down on the battlefield, no matter whether the flag fell or retreated, under such a sudden attack, the Qing army that forced himself to resist with one breath would collapse instantly.
However, under Duoduo's personal supervision, the Qing army's combat effectiveness was very strong. The troops sent by Xue Laoer were repelled by successive battles and never achieved the expected breakthrough.
"Hurry up, go and ask the prince consort for help immediately and report the battle situation here to the prince consort!"
Xue Laoer shouted loudly to the several pond horses who were standing behind him who were standing behind the horses and stomping flags: “The chief king Duoduo has been dragged three hundred steps to the camp gate, and his defense is very firm. He has to send another heavy army to break through.
As long as the middle road of the Qing army camp was broken and the army on both sides of the camp was surrounded, the Qing army and the chief king would definitely not be able to escape."
After Xue Laoer said that, the few horses did not dare to delay at all, and then rode their horses out of the Qing army camp and gave the latest military information to Zhou Shixian on the other side of the river.
Soon, Xue Laoer gathered hundreds of soldiers and then led the troops to rush up again. He had to hold Duoduo before reinforcements came.
On the other side, the camp west of the Qing army, as Zhang Hong personally led the troops under his command to charge, the Green Camp soldiers who had been struggling to resist horses with the fences and trenches finally could not resist it.
The soldiers of Wu'an camp attacked the camp west of the Qing army from several fences that had been overthrown. The spear and axe were thrown hard and flew into the outside of the camp. Dozens of Green Camp soldiers fell down from the fence in an instant.
In order to achieve a rapid breakthrough, Zhang Hong joined the most elite 100 generals under his command as a front army and personally led his personal guards to charge. The point of the troops was simply unstoppable.
Of course, the most important thing is that they are facing the Green Camp soldiers. Compared with the Eight Banners and Vanguard soldiers, their combat effectiveness is indeed much weaker.
At this time, the Qing Dynasty had not had time to rectify the green camp and divide the field green camp and the garrison green camp. The combat effectiveness of the green camp soldiers was far less than that of the original Southwest War in history, when they dealt with Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo.
After breaking through the fence, in front of the camp to the west of the Qing army, the Ming army did the same. Dozens of short axes and spears suddenly emerged from the darkness and threw themselves at the Green Camp soldiers' resistance. Accompanied by a miserable wail, more than a dozen archers and musketeers were knocked to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, dozens of long spear heads dyed red with blood appeared from the shouts of killing. The iron-armored warriors appeared and disappeared. Zhuang Lidong led his soldiers to charge forward, and they were too sharp to bear.
The Qing army's archers and musketeers were hit by this attack and had no time to load and shoot. As the Ming army got closer, soldiers soon turned around and fled, and then the entire army retreated. At this time, the Ming army's spearmen were swarming up, chasing the green camp soldiers who turned around and fled.
Zhang Hong was very brave in fighting, and his soldiers were greatly encouraged. In addition, the Qing army in the camp was retreating step by step, so the Ming army was not afraid at all.
The troops led by Zhuang Lidong were selected as the most elite 100 general under Zhang Hong's command and the first group of troops to attack the Qing army camp. Zhuang Lidong has now killed three Qing troops, and Zhang Dong, Huang Fa, Chen Yu and others have not failed. At least one head. They looked at the defeated Qing army soldiers and rushed up again howled.
At the same time, the other two battalions also made breakthroughs. The Qing army in the camp had been attacked from three directions by the Ming army of the three battalions, and could only retreat continuously. Amid the sound of gunfire, the tents were overthrown by Ming soldiers who were rushing like a tide, and then stepped on them.
The Qing army's Green Camp camp was irreversible.
On the other hand, on the outside of Daying Yingpan in the east of the Qing army, Li Daxi, Weng Dajie, Huang Degong and others were unable to break through Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming's defense. Although Huang Degong worked hard and had the advantage of his troops, it was difficult to make progress in the offense. Especially these vassal soldiers were good at firearms, which was very beneficial in defense.
Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming were quite slow. They were all thinking that they would wait until the situation on Duoduo was clear and then take new actions, otherwise they would stay in the headquarters camp so that when the situation was wrong, they would retreat immediately.
The two of them didn't want to be cannon fodder. They had already seen the power of the Ming army. If they had not defended the camp, they would have been defeated long ago. It would be too naive to expect them to work hard at such a time.
Duoduo looked at the battlefield where he was fighting fiercely only more than 300 steps away from his camp, and had no intention of retreating. Instead, he ignored the Ming cavalry who had been rushing forward and was temporarily blocked, and asked his personal guard Bayala to raise the king's flag high to boost the morale of the army.
After all, the camps on both sides of the east and west and the central army tent were attacked at the same time, and even the Ming army's troops were attacking on both sides of the central army's camp. In order to avoid the situation being out of control, he also transferred several Niulu to support him.
Zhou Shixian's rocket attack had a great impact and caused great chaos to the Qing army. Until now, the Qing army's central camp has not yet fully recovered, and thousands of soldiers and horses have temporarily lost their offensive capabilities, which has enabled the Ming army to achieve such results without the advantage of the overall strength.
However, under the command of Duoduo, Nikan and Tunqi, thousands of elite Eight Banners soldiers who had already gathered still defended the defense line. Although Xue Laoer and Wu Xingye's Ming army made breakthroughs, they were not enough to shake the Qing army.
Moreover, under the cover of these Qing troops, the Eight Banners soldiers, which were originally disturbed by the fires ignited in the tent, gradually recovered their organization.
Faced with the fierce attack of the Ming army, Duoduo knew the importance of his royal flag. In many cases, the morale of the army was fought. If his royal flag suddenly disappeared, it would be a huge blow to the Manchu warriors who rushed up and fought with the Ming army who rushed forward.
Although the Manchu soldiers fought bravely, they were also people and were afraid. If they saw the commander withdraw and the soldiers guarding the commander retreated from the battlefield, they would probably have to perform a rare defeat.
Seeing the Eight Banners soldiers who were constantly being organized behind gradually coming behind, Duoduo actually had other thoughts.
