Chongzhen Ming Dynasty: Starting from Meishan Chapter 461 Duduo was beaten and cried
"Swan tone?"
Duduo turned around quickly and looked back.
Then I saw a touch of black appearing on the southern horizon, like a thick and thick black border embroidered on the edge of a large piece of green brocade.
"It's the Ming Army!"
"The reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty have arrived!"
He Luohui, Wa Xing'a and other Manchu generals also roared.
The reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty arrived on the battlefield at this time, which was really discouraging.
It seems that it is absolutely impossible to eat the Ming army in front of them.
At that moment, He Luohui advised: "Master, our army has lost the opportunity, quickly order the withdrawal."
There is still a battle to be fought between cavalry and cavalry, but now that the Ming infantry has arrived on the battlefield, the battle cannot be fought.
Because the infantry of the Ming Army was not only large in number, but would also definitely carry a large number of sidecars and even a large number of squatting tiger cannons, which were the nemesis of the cavalry.
If the Eight Banners and Han troops were there, they would naturally not be afraid at all.
The problem is that now only Eight Banners Manchuria and Eight Banners Mongolia are here.
So the wisest thing to do at this time is to withdraw our troops quickly.
Duduo was still hesitating. He was still a little unwilling. He had really suffered a big loss this time. If he withdrew his troops in such a disgraceful manner, Prince Duoluo would definitely not be able to keep his title.
The white flag will also be taken away by at least ten cows.
How could Duduo be reconciled to such a result?
"No rush!" Duduo said bitterly, "Let the two yellow flags come up and hold off the Ming Dynasty reinforcements as much as possible! Hold it off for two hours. As long as the two yellow flags can hold off the Ming Dynasty reinforcements for two hours, the Eight Banners and Mongolia will be able to defeat all the troops.
Annihilate this group of Ming troops in front of you, yes, that’s what we do, immediately order two yellow flags to go out and attack!"
"Hey!" Vasinga immediately sent a Baya La soldier to deliver the order.
Soon, more than 60 Niulu and nearly 20,000 cavalrymen of the two yellow flags faced the Ming army like a tide. From a distance, it looked like a bright yellow tide flooding over the green grassland.
Pass.
He Luohui was still worried and whispered: "Master, the two yellow flags may not be able to stop the Ming army infantry."
What He Luohui meant was that preparations should be made in advance, in case the two yellow flags could not hold back the Ming army infantry, then the Eight Banners Manchuria and the Eight Banners Mongolia would have to withdraw their troops.
But as soon as the Qing army retreats, the Ming army cavalry is likely to pursue them.
Although the Eight Banners in Manchuria are highly disciplined, even if they retreat, they will not be able to leave an opportunity for the Ming cavalry to take advantage of, but it is certain that they will be chased by the Ming cavalry in a very embarrassing manner.
After all, in the previous half month of hunting and counter-hunting, the Ming cavalry had already gained the upper hand.
When He Luohui said this, Duduo suddenly woke up and thought to himself: What happened today? Why do you act like a young boy who just went to the battlefield? Is this an oversight?
At that moment, Duduo nodded and said: "He Luohui, you immediately lead the two white flags away from the battlefield and ambush near the collapse site twenty miles away. This time, don't ambush too far away, just on the grassland near the collapse site."
Hidden, if the Ming cavalry dares to pursue them, I will take them to the ambush location, and then I will make their dumplings."
"At that time, the Ming cavalry had no time to set up this weird square formation."
"We can annihilate the Ming army's cavalry in one go."
He Luo said knowingly, it should have been done long ago, but it is not too late now.
At that moment, He Luo Hui lit up two white flags and 50 Niulu bannermen, and headed north.
Since the Ming army's cavalry was surrounded by groups, and most of the Ming troops who came for reinforcements were infantry, the Ming army did not know that two banners of Jiannu had left the battlefield.
Duduo turned his attention to the battlefield ahead.
I saw that the Eight Banners of Mongolia were still circling around the Ming army.
Then, every time it turned around, hundreds of riders would fall into a pool of blood.
There were more and more corpses of men and horses piled on the edge of the circle, it was really piled up like a mountain.
However, most of them were the corpses of war horses, and not many Mongolian cavalry were killed.
The reason is also very simple. War horses have larger targets and are more vulnerable to attack.
The Mongolian cavalry is best at hiding under the pedals. Most of their bodies are hidden on the outside of their horses, so it is difficult for the Ming army's self-generated firecrackers to harm these Mongolian soldiers.
Duduo turned his attention to the Ming army within the encirclement, only to see that it was almost completely obscured by gunpowder smoke.
In the thick smoke, there were flashes of dark red flames from time to time, which were the self-generated fire cannons of the Ming army that continued to fire. Judging from this sign, the Ming army seemed to be far from running out of ammunition.
So, can the Eight Banners and Mongolia really exhaust the ammunition of the Ming army?
…
Can the Eight Banners Mongolia really exhaust the ammunition reserves of the Ming army’s cavalry?
The answer is of course no. The number of ammunition carried by Chongzhen for the Ming army was one base number for infantry, and up to four base numbers for cavalry, which was eight hundred rounds of ammunition.
Even if it fires continuously at four rounds per minute, it can last for three and a half hours.
So far in this battle, the Ming Army's cavalry battalion has only consumed two bases of ammunition.
Because to deal with the Mongolian cavalry's circling side attack, the Ming army cavalry did not need to discharge their muskets, but could shoot freely, and the firepower density did not need to be as high as when dealing with frontal charges.
Therefore, the Ming cavalry was still far from running out of ammunition.
According to the current strength, the Ming army's ammunition is enough to last until dark.
And even if the ammunition is exhausted, the Ming army still has grenades and bayonets.
Duduo had no idea what kind of opponent he had encountered.
…
On the other side, Du Yinxi had ordered the 40,000 accompanying soldiers to deploy.
At this time, Chongzhen had nothing to do. He just stayed in the Ming army with Zhu Cijiong and eight hundred Yiding to watch the battle between Du Yinxi and Jiannu.
What Du Yinxi set up was the most conventional battle formation.
Specifically, they rely on chariots to form formations.
This formation is the most effective formation that Qi Jiguang summed up and finally formed in actual combat with the Mongolian cavalry after he was transferred to Jizhen Commandery, specifically to restrain the nomadic cavalry.
At that time, Qi Jiguang relied on this formation to repeatedly inflict heavy losses on the Mongolian cavalry invading the south. In the end, the Mongolian Anda Khan was forced to sue for peace from the Ming Dynasty, and this was the Anda tribute.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The soldiers of Xuzhou Zhentai obviously often practice this kind of battle formation.
Before the Jiannu cavalry arrived, the 40,000 town soldiers had already formed a formation using sidecars.
There are two ways to splice the side vans into an array. One is fixed splicing, which is to connect the side vans one after another end to end. In this way, a certain number of side vans can be spliced into a car wall, as long as there are enough
A large number of sidecars can even be spliced together to form a car wall dozens of miles long, or to form a square city.
This splicing method is used for pure defense and cannot be moved after splicing.
In addition to fixed splicing, there is also a kind of movable splicing. In fact, the side car is not spliced at all, but the side car is simply pushed forward, and the side car is used to provide protection for the infantry.
The gaps between the carriages were filled by spearmen or swordsmen to prevent the Jiannu cavalry from breaking in.
Because the Xuzhou town soldiers wanted to rescue the cavalry, they adopted movable splicing.
I saw 40,000 Xuzhou soldiers forming a neat square formation, pushing more than 2,000 sidecars slowly forward, but the sidecars in the rear formation were being dragged forward backwards.
Chongzhen and his son and eight hundred Yiding were in the middle of the formation.
Looking forward from the horseback, the Jiannu cavalry swept over overwhelmingly.
"Father, it's the Two Yellow Banners." Zhu Cijiong looked a little eager to try, "I heard that the flag men of the Two Yellow Banners are the most brave and good at fighting among the Eight Banners in Manchuria. I want to give it a try."
"Nonsense, what are you trying?" Chongzhen's face fell instantly.
However, deep down in his heart, Chongzhen was quite pleased, because Zhu Cijiong's eagerness to fight also reflected the reality that the Ming army was no longer afraid of the Qing army.
Even the soldiers who were stationed in Xuzhou were no longer afraid of establishing slaves.
Obviously, having their wives, children, and children in Xuzhou gave them courage.
Because if they cannot defend Xuzhou, they will lose everything.
If we could go back two years, they would not have had the courage to fight against the Jiannu slaves.
In the blink of an eye, the cavalry of the two yellow flags had rushed to the front of the Ming army's formation.
Faced with the thorn-like formation of Ming army chariots and the forest-like spears in the gaps between the chariots, the cavalry of the two yellow flags simply did not dare to charge from the front, except leaving a small number of bagaras in the front to force them.
Bows and heavy arrows delayed the advancement of the Ming army's formation, and the remaining cavalry quickly divided into two groups and detoured from both sides of the Ming army.
But the detour was in vain, because the Ming army's flanks and rear also had no flaws.
Therefore, the cavalry of the two yellow flags could only adopt the tactics of the Mongolian cavalry, circling around the Ming army's infantry formation and shooting a few arrows while trying to cool off, but this was basically useless.
Because the Ming army was closely protected by sidecars and large shields.
Or even if a few were shot to death by Jiannu who were highly skilled in archery, it would still be useless.
Due to the lack of means to break the Ming army's chariot formation, the two yellow flags could not stop the Ming army at all.
Although the Ming army's battle formation advanced much slower than a normal march, it could still cover several miles in an hour.
An hour later, the Ming army's infantry chariot formation finally advanced not far from the Ming army's cavalry's hollow square formation, so the Mongolian cavalry and the cavalry of the two yellow flags were forced to merge into one.
At this time, if you look down from a high altitude, you can see a spectacular scene.
The battlefield presented on the "prairie" at this moment is like two huge typhoon cyclones. The chariot formation of the Ming army infantry and the hollow square formation of the Ming army cavalry are the eye of the typhoon.
The Jiannu cavalry circling around the Ming army infantry and Ming army cavalry was a huge cyclone.
Among them, the typhoon cyclone in the north is stationary, while the typhoon cyclone in the south is slowly but unstoppably approaching the typhoon cyclone in the north.
An hour later, the outer edges of the two cyclones finally came together.
Then, the two typhoon cyclones merged into one cyclone.
More than 10,000 Mongolian cavalry and nearly 20,000 Zhenghuang Banner cavalry circled crazily around the hollow square formation of the Ming army cavalry and the chariot formation of the Ming army infantry.
…
Until this moment, Duduo still had luck and was still unwilling to admit defeat.
But soon, Dodo's luck was shattered by the cruel reality.
Shortly after the Ming Army cavalry and the Ming Army infantry met, some Ming Army infantry suddenly removed the guard panel on the front of the side carriage, revealing a squatting tiger cannon loaded on the side carriage.
These Tiger Crouching Cannons are not the latest standard Tiger Crouching Cannons produced by the Ming Dynasty Arsenal, but the open Tiger Crouching Cannons previously produced by the Ming Dynasty War Bureau and the Weapons Supervision. They are also the batch of meritorious Tiger Crouching Cannons that participated in the Xuzhou War two years ago.
Cannons, Chongzhen left all these two thousand tiger squatting cannons in Xuzhou.
The reason why the various fortresses in Zhentai in Xuzhou were repeatedly destroyed when the slave cavalry raided them in the past was due to these tiger squatting cannons.
Because the lead bullets and closed-mouth bullets fired by the Tiger Crouching Cannon were a huge threat to the Jiannu cavalry. Once hit, both men and horses would be killed or injured, which was extremely cruel.
Qi Jiguang used the squatting tiger cannon to fight Japanese pirates and it was also very effective.
Seeing a squatting tiger with a cannon displayed on the sidecar, Dodoton finally admitted the reality.
"Damn it, retreat quickly!" Duduo yelled, "Let the Mongolians of the Two Yellow Banners and the Eight Banners retreat quickly, retreat quickly, retreat quickly, retreat them quickly!"
The messengers flew away in an instant.
But it's still too late, it's still too late.
"Tong Tong Tong!" The sound of dense cannon fire resounded through the sky.
The next moment, the Mongolian cavalry who had just moved to the outside of the Ming army's infantry square fell to the ground one by one. The whine of the war horses and the screams of the Mongolian cavalry were instantly intertwined.
Seeing this scene, Duduo's face instantly turned pale.
This situation is terrible, Brother Fourteen may not be able to protect him.
…
Jiannu collapsed!
To be more precise, the Eight Banners of Mongolia were defeated and collapsed.
There is still a certain gap between the organization and fighting will of Eight Banners Mongolia and Eight Banners Manchuria.
The Eight Banners Manchuria in this world did not deteriorate rapidly after entering the customs like the Eight Banners Manchuria in another time and space, but still maintained the organization and fighting will before entering the customs.
In the previous fight that lasted for more than two hours, the Mongolian cavalry had become discouraged because they could not do anything about the Ming army cavalry. At this time, they were suddenly attacked intensively by hundreds of Ming army infantry tiger squatting cannons.
, due to lack of psychological preparation, it fell apart in an instant, run away, this battle can no longer be fought.
So, thousands of Mongolian cavalry turned their horses and ran north.
Many Mongolian cavalrymen who lost their horses could only drag their companions by the tail and run with them. Some were lucky enough to jump on their horses and ride on the same horse, while others were thrown off and trampled to pieces by other cavalrymen.
The chaos of the Mongolian cavalry soon spread to the Eight Banners Manchuria.
At the beginning, Duduo still dreamed of regaining control of the situation.
But after killing dozens of Eight Banner Mongolians, Duduo realized in despair that this was all in vain. No matter how many Mongolian cavalry were killed, it was impossible to regain control of the situation, so he also ran away.
In less than a moment, tens of thousands of slaves fell into complete chaos.
Duduo also fled madly under the protection of Vasinga and other Bagala soldiers.
While running away, Duduo said to himself that he was lucky. Fortunately, he had been prepared in advance.
If not, most of the elite Eight Banners Manchuria troops could be killed this time.
But even so, a big defeat was unavoidable. Thinking of this, Duduo couldn't help but feel sad again, and then he even burst into tears on horseback. Well, Duduo was beaten to tears.
