Chongzhen Ming Dynasty: Beginning from Meishan Chapter 460 Became a laughing stock
Most of the corpses were those of war horses.
There were relatively few bodies of the Mongolian cavalry. Many Mongolian cavalry were just knocked unconscious or injured. There were even many Mongolian cavalry who were able to get up and run back in a hurry.
Then, a scene appeared that made Duduo and the Qing army angry.
The first two rows of Ming troops were seen leaving the infantry array, armed with self-made muskets with fixed bayonets, and launched a brutal pursuit towards the Mongolian cavalry who were running back.
The sound of cannon fire was heard, and one team after another the Mongolian cavalry fell to the ground.
Not only the Mongolian cavalry who tried to escape, but also those lying on the ground could not escape.
Regardless of whether they are dead or alive, or pretending to be dead, when the Ming army comes close, they can't help but stab them. Occasionally, when encountering resistance from the Mongolian cavalry who are pretending to be dead, several or even a dozen Ming soldiers will immediately surround them and have a meal.
Bayonet thrusts randomly.
"It's unreasonable, it's simply unreasonable!" Duduo's lungs were about to explode when he saw this. He killed people in front of me? I, the ten kings of the Qing Dynasty, don't want to lose face? The Ming army really went too far.
Duduo is really a little over the top now, or in other words, he has lost his mind.
"Chorji, Norbu!" Duduo ordered two more Gushan Ezhen from Eight Banners Mongolia.
"Charge me, I will overwhelm the Ming army from the front at all costs, disrupt their formation and disperse them, then drive them onto the prairie, and then drive all the Ming army to death. No one is allowed to be spared.
Don't let anyone go, kill them, kill them all, kill them all, ah ah ah..."
Duduo was so angry that he not only wanted to annihilate the Ming cavalry in front of him, but also used a frontal attack to annihilate the Ming cavalry in the shortest time. Only in this way could he save the Ten Kings of the Qing Dynasty.
Dignity! Otherwise, after today, he, the Ten Kings of the Qing Dynasty, will become a laughing stock.
He Luohui saw something was wrong and wanted to step forward to dissuade him: "Master?"
"What?" Duduo suddenly turned around and glared at He Luohui, "What do you want to say?"
He Luohui paused in his heart and quickly changed his words: "How about I come up here?"
"Don't worry yet!" Although Duduo was out of anger at this time, he had not completely lost his mind. He still remembered to try to preserve the vitality of the white flag.
Duduo glared at Choergi and Noble again and yelled sternly.
"The Ming army inflicted humiliation on the Eight Banners and Mongolia, which can only be washed away by the Eight Banners and Mongolia themselves."
"If you don't want to be laughed at by others, don't want to be looked down upon by others, and don't want to be a shame to the Eight Banners Mongolia, then pick up your bows and arrows, pull out your machetes, and kill all the bright dogs on the opposite side! Kill, kill!"
Duduo's speech was still very contagious. The morale of the two armored Mongolian cavalry who had completed the assembly rose to the highest level. Choerji and Noble raised their swords, and the three thousand Mongolian cavalry immediately howled.
He shouted, then urged his war horses to charge towards the Ming army's infantry array from four directions.
This is already the fourth wave of frontal assault by Eight Banners Mongolia.
Duduo was also stubborn and was at odds with Hu Guozhu.
…
Looking at the Mongolian cavalry rushing towards them again, Hu Guozhu still just sneered.
A rally call sounded in the infantry array, and the Ming army soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield on the periphery retreated back to their own formation. Because there was a third row of soldiers as a benchmark, they quickly stood up again.
To be honest, I have been reading books recently to catch up on updates, switch sources, read aloud with many sounds, and it can be used on both Android and Apple.]
The next step is to check your equipment and reload your ammunition.
Thousands of soldiers bit open the paper shells of fixed ammunition, first poured a small amount of primer into the primer chamber, then poured most of the remaining gunpowder from the muzzle into the gun chamber, and finally stuffed the paper shells and lead into the gun chamber.
, then press it to the bottom with a straight bar and compact it firmly.
Then insert the purge bar back into the purge bar hole under the barrel, then pull the trigger, and finally wait quietly.
Looking up, I saw that the Mongolian cavalry had entered within a hundred steps. Their horses were beating with iron hooves, and their momentum was quite intimidating. However, the soldiers of the Ming army had already stopped.
The Mongolian cavalry actually made some progress. This time they started to draw their bows and fire arrows as soon as they got within a hundred steps. This time, they no longer used heavy arrows, but light arrows, and they were thrown.
Eight Banners Mongolia is also Mongolia and still retains the traditional craft of projectile.
As a result, a volley of arrows flew through the air, falling like raindrops inside and outside the Ming army's hollow square formation.
Many war horses were hit by arrows and screamed in pain. However, because the horse's reins were firmly tied to the horse posts, and the horse posts were nailed deeply into the ground, they could not run away even if they wanted to.
Many soldiers were also hit by arrows, but due to the tight protection of the cotton armor lined with iron sheets and the hat-shaped helmet, the impact was minimal. The projectile of light arrows was not enough to penetrate the armor stomach of the Ming army.
Hu Guozhu was also hit by several arrows, but he ignored them at all.
In the blink of an eye, the Mongolian cavalry entered within fifty steps and were forced to slow down.
Because there are corpses of people and horses everywhere on the grass, if you don't slow down you will trip over.
Immediately, the officers and soldiers of the Ming army began to advance again and again, taking turns to fire cannons, and the sound of cannons was heard.
Accompanied by the intensive sound of gunfire and the diffuse smoke, the Mongolian cavalry fell down row by row.
Less than a quarter of an hour later, two more 3,000 Mongolian cavalrymen fell in a pool of blood.
Although the Ming army also suffered casualties, the number was not large. It only reduced the length and width of the hollow square formation by about 20 meters each, which meant that there were about a hundred casualties in total.
When the last Mongolian cavalry fell in a pool of blood, Hu Guozhu did not hesitate to give the order again, ordering the two rows of Ming army soldiers in front to go out to clean the battlefield. When they found the fleeing Mongolian cavalry, they shot them to death randomly.
The dead, or really dead Mongolian cavalry, could not help but stab him in the heart first.
Occasionally, Mongolian cavalry would kneel down and beg for mercy, but they would be executed in the same way.
Because the Ming army was in an unsafe situation at this time, they did not dare to surrender their troops.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! And such a cruel scene fell into Dodo's eyes as it was.
It also fell into the eyes of Ao Bai, He Luohui, Bai Yintu and others.
He Luohui felt that he could no longer sit idly by and ignored Duo Duo.
In less than an hour, the Eight Banners of Mongolia had already lost 23 Niulu.
According to this casualty rate, the 70 Niulu Eight Banners Mongolia transferred to Xuzhou can only last for two hours at most, and then it will be their turn for the Eight Banners Manchuria.
"Master, we can't continue like this."
"The Ming army's self-generated firepower is too dense."
"It's impossible to break away just by relying on the cavalry's frontal attack."
"We can only adopt flanking tactics, using light arrows to continuously kill and injure the Ming army. After the Ming army's formation collapses, we can then use the larger army to cover them up, and then we can kill them with one blow."
"Okay." Duduo had calmed down by this time.
What he needs to consider now is no longer the question of whether to be embarrassed or not.
If the Eight Banner Mongolian casualties are allowed to increase, they may be expelled from the banner.
The Eight Banners Mongolia quickly changed their tactics and began to circle around the Ming army's infantry array in units of Gushan. Every time they circled, the distance between the two sides would get slightly closer.
The Eight Banners Mongolia also used large bows.
The Dashao Bow uses heavy arrows to shoot accurately, and its effective range is generally within fifty steps.
But if you use projectile light arrows to create range damage, the range can reach 150 steps or even further.
In order to ensure that more arrows were lost and dumped on the heads of the Ming army, the Mongolian cavalry in the front row in circles approached until a hundred steps, and then from a hundred steps to a hundred and fifty steps, and the thickness of the fan ring reached fifty steps.
Tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry were running in circles while constantly throwing light arrows at the hollow square array in the center.
Under the attack of arrows from the Mongolian cavalry, the casualties of the Ming army and horses also began to increase.
However, the Ming army did not just stand around and let the Mongolian cavalry shoot. Instead, they used flintlock rifles to fight back fiercely. The effective range of the flintlock rifles was indeed only fifty steps. Once it exceeded fifty steps, the hit rate would drop sharply.
But the hit rate has dropped, but the penetration or lethality has not. One shot will still kill someone!
As a result, the situation evolved into a long-distance exchange of shots between the two sides.
But in general, it is obvious that the Mongolian cavalry suffered the most.
Because the killing efficiency of light arrow projectiles against Ming army soldiers is very low.
For example, Hu Guozhu, who had been hit by no less than twenty arrows, almost turned into a hedgehog, was still unscathed because the light arrows thrown could not penetrate the mountain armor he was wearing.
Not only mountain armor, but also cotton armor lined with iron sheets cannot be penetrated.
Unless you are shot in parts that are not protected by the armor and stomach, such as the palms, below the knees and up to the soles of the feet, as well as the elbow joint between the shirt and elbow pads, and the gap between the front and rear skirts on the outside of the thigh, you can only be shot.
Ming troops would only be injured if they hit these parts, but most of them were only injured and not fatal.
However, the situation of Eight Banners Mongolia is not like this.
After more than fifty steps, the hit rate of the flintlock gun will drop sharply, but the lethality will not be reduced at all.
Therefore, it doesn't matter if you miss. Once you hit, both the horse and the person will be killed. Even if you reach a distance of 150 steps, you will still be killed if you are shot.
Therefore, every time the Mongolian cavalry turned around, some men and horses would fall to the ground.
As time went by, the bodies of dead men and horses accumulated more and more.
Duduo found the only small earth bag nearby. It was not high, but standing on the top of the small earth bag, you could see the Ming army's formation surrounded by the Mongolian cavalry.
Seeing Mongolian cavalry falling down one after another,
However, the Ming troops in the phalanx rarely fell.
Duduo's face became particularly embarrassed.
He Luohui and the other two white flag generals also sighed deeply when they saw this.
Based on the current situation, unless the ammunition of this Ming army is exhausted, it is obviously impossible to defeat the Ming army. No matter how many Mongolian cavalry die, it is impossible to achieve this goal, and this battle cannot be fought.
However, did the Mongolian cavalry still have time to exhaust the Ming army's ammunition?
If nothing else happens, reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty will arrive on the battlefield soon.
What is the saying? The more you are afraid of something, the more it will come.
Just as I thought about the reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty, I heard the swan sound of oh oh oh in the distance.
