Kong Youde and the others were walking at the end of the Eight Banners and Han Army formations, separated by several walls of carriages and many rows of Eight Banners and Han Army formations, so they couldn't see clearly what was happening in front of them?
But Dorgon and others standing on the command nest car could see it very clearly.
I saw a red light blooming without any warning on the originally dark battlefield.
Countless red lights suddenly bloomed, lighting up the entire battlefield ahead.
With the dazzling red light that suddenly bloomed, Dorgon, Hong Chengchou and other die-hard men discovered with great horror that a violent explosion occurred outside the Ming army's formation.
And the range of the explosion is also extremely wide.
Almost the entire outer area of the Ming army's formation, from eighty steps to thirty steps, suffered violent explosions.
Looking from a distance, it was as if a ring-shaped light belt forty or fifty steps wide suddenly lit up on the periphery of the Ming army's formation. The light emitted by this light belt was so dazzling and brilliant that it almost covered the entire night sky.
illuminate.
Visually, this light belt is extremely gorgeous, but it is fatal to the Qing army who happens to be in it.
In an instant, thousands of sidecars and carriages were destroyed or overturned, and tens of thousands of Eight Banners Han troops or Eight Banners Manchuria were killed on the spot or severely injured by the air waves generated by the explosion.
Overturned to the ground, the infantry array that originally seemed rigorous and complete suddenly became in disarray.
"Oh my God, how many landmines has Minggou laid?"
Cao Eryu's eyes widened in shock, and he made a sleepy sound in his throat.
Hong Chengchou, Fan Wencheng, Ning Wan, I, and Hou Fangyu were even more stunned.
Dorgon's face suddenly turned red, as if he was drunk.
A moment later, a huge explosion finally came, shattering the eardrums of Dorgon and others.
After the explosion, Dorgon and others heard nothing but buzzing.
However, the vision of Dorgon and others was not affected, because the red light produced by the mine explosion did not go out immediately, and new mines continued to explode, continuing to light up the battlefield.
So Dorgon and the others can see very clearly,
The Qing troops who originally pushed sidecars and carriages forward were like wheat blown down by the strong wind, falling to the ground piece by piece. If they were unfortunate enough to be within the killing range of a mine explosion, no matter whether it was a sidecar,
Even the carriages would be blown up and overturned in an instant, not to mention the soldiers of the Qing army, who would be directly torn into pieces.
A conservative estimate is that in this wave of attacks, the Qing army lost at least half of its sidecars and carriages. The casualties are completely impossible to estimate, but it is certain that they were badly bombed.
Hong Chengchou and others all looked at Dorgon.
At this time, the coach's judgment and courage are extremely important.
A wrong decision may ruin the entire army, but a correct decision can save the day in an instant and regain the initiative on the battlefield.
…
Dorgon and others who were in the rear were only visually shocked.
Kong Youde, Geng Jimao and others who were among them were blown away by the mines, and both their uncle and nephew were knocked to the ground by the air waves generated by the explosion.
Kong Youde turned over and sat up from the ground.
Looking around, I saw sidecars lying on the ground and Eight Banners and Han troops lying on the ground.
Less than ten steps away from him, two Eight Banners Han soldiers were lying on their backs on the ground wailing. Through the red light produced by the explosion of the mines, you could clearly see that the two Eight Banners Han soldiers had their legs below the knees.
The legs disappeared into thin air.
As he was watching, he suddenly felt something like liquid slipping down his face. When he reached out and touched it, it was blood.
Looking at the blood in his palm, Kong Youde was a little confused. He probably had his cheek scratched by a broken piece of wood.
"Uncle? Uncle! Uncle!" Geng Jimao's frightened and panicful roar suddenly sounded in his ears.
He turned around in confusion and saw Geng Jimao squatting nervously in front of him.
While shaking her fingers vigorously in front of his eyes, she asked loudly: "Uncle, what time is this?"
Kong Youde was still confused and just looked at Geng Jimao blankly.
The big explosion just now shook Kong Youde completely.
"Yes, they were blown away." Geng Jimao sighed, grabbed Kong Youde's hands, then bent down and turned around, then picked up Kong Youde and prepared to run away.
It was a sign of love and righteousness, and he actually thought of carrying Kong Youde back on his back.
However, at this moment, the continuous sound of horns and passionate war drums suddenly sounded from the direction of the rear formation.
"Ah? What's going on?" Geng Jimao was stunned on the spot. He was blown to pieces by the mines. He actually continued to attack the Ming army? Would he let anyone live?
Soon, Dorgon's latest military order was also delivered to the front of the battle.
"The Imperial Father and the Regent have a decree. Throw away the sidecars and carriages and charge at full speed!"
"The Imperial Father and the Regent have decreed that the Han Army under the Eight Banners throw away their sidecars, and the Manchurian Eight Banners throw away their carriages and charge at full speed!"
"The Imperial Father and the Regent have decreed that the Eight Banners Han Army and the Eight Banners Manchurians charge at full speed. Those who kill Chongzhen, Emperor Ming, will be rewarded with 10,000 gold, and will be given a first-class viscount. Those who capture Chongzhen alive will be rewarded with 100,000 gold, and will be given a first-class uncle!"
Dorgon finally decided to seize time.
He wanted to defeat the surrounding Ming army before dawn.
…
Huang Deheng was also confused.
Just now, a landmine exploded less than ten steps away from him. The two companions who were right at the center of the explosion were instantly blown into the air, and their legs below the knees were instantly turned into pulp.
Huang Deheng was also knocked to the ground heavily by the air wave generated by the explosion.
After a long while, Huang Deheng struggled to stand up from the ground, but his head was still buzzing.
Looking at his two companions lying not far away and screaming, Huang Deheng subconsciously touched his legs. It was pretty good. Both of his feet were still there. He then touched his whole body and found nothing.
There was no bleeding from any wounds.
It was only then that Huang Deheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. Yes, he had saved his life again this time.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At that moment, Huang Deheng turned around and prepared to run towards the rear formation. The Qing soldiers were bombed like this. It was said that they could no longer attack, so even if they fled back at this time,
He should not be severely punished again.
However, at this moment, trumpets and war drums sounded.
The horn is the horn of attack, but the sound of war drums is the sound of war drums charging at full speed!
"You want to attack now? And charge at full speed?" Huang Deheng was stunned.
The other Eight Banners Han troops also looked at each other in disbelief, thinking that the emperor and the regent were too cruel, right? This really showed no sympathy for these Han troops at all, and they were really using them as cannon fodder.
Oh, no, the Eight Banners Manchuria seems to be rushing with them?
The next moment, Eight Banners Manchuria, which was in the rear, was the first to respond.
Accompanied by howls, Eight Banners Manchuria took the lead in charging with self-made fire guns.
Huang Deheng shook his head and immediately charged forward with his self-made firecracker.
If a person dies, his eggs will fall into the sky, and he will not die for tens of thousands of years. Whether he will die here today or strive for wealth and honor depends on this situation. Anyway, it is impossible to escape, and he will be killed on the spot by the bannermen behind him.
…
"Jian Nu is really not something to be underestimated."
"After suffering such heavy losses, not only did they not collapse on the spot, they were able to reorganize their charge! No wonder they were able to severely damage our army in the Battle of Salhu."
Seeing the Jiannu charge amidst the sound of trumpets and drums,
Xu Yingwei looked serious, he was really a tenacious opponent.
However, what impressed Xu Yingwei even more was the reaction of Commander Jiannu.
The opponent obviously also realized that after being attacked by landmines, the sidecars and supporting carriages were seriously damaged, and the ground was also blown up by the mines and was no longer flat, so they wanted to rely on sidecars or supporting carriages to provide infantry with ammunition.
Protection is already a wishful thinking. After all, the Ming army’s red cannons and squatting tiger cannons
It's not a decoration.
So it would be better to simply throw away the sidecars and carriages and launch a full-speed charge.
This also has the advantage of being able to quickly approach the Ming army and engage in hand-to-hand combat.
After all, at this time, Jiannu's forward was less than thirty steps away from the Ming army's outer phalanx.
Thirty steps, for a fast runner, was less than ten seconds to take a breath.
Unfortunately, the commander-in-chief of Jiannu made a miscalculation, that is, the previous bombardment of Jiannu's camel artillery only destroyed the sidecar formation of the Ming army on the periphery, but did not cause much damage to the Ming army.
The reason is also very simple, because the Ming army hid in the ring trenches in advance.
Relying on the cover of trenches, the Ming army successfully avoided the saturation damage of the Jiannu camel cannon.
So this time, Jiannu's infantry array will suffer a powerful blow from the Ming army in the trenches.
Just as Xu Yingwei had a second thought, the surrounding phalanx trenches suddenly burst into bursts of red flames, and the Ming infantry who had been lurking in the trenches began to take turns firing cannons.
Along with the dazzling red light, there was a continuous and intensive sound of gunfire.
Unfortunately, it was still dark at this time, so we could not clearly see the fighting situation in front of the formation.
But Xu Yingwei could still imagine that Jiannu, who was charging at the front, must have been uncomfortable. Under the first wave of firepower from the Ming army, at least thousands of people were injured or killed.
Because from a distance of thirty steps, you can hit it with your eyes closed.
Xu Wuniu quickly came to Xu Yingwei and asked loudly: "If Xu gives me advice, the sky will be bright soon."
"Is it going to get light soon?" Xu Yingwei turned around when he heard the sound, and he saw that the eastern sky had already revealed a trace of fish belly white, and the horizon below also began to appear.
"Follow me and get on the nest car!"
At this moment, Xu Yingwei led people to protect "Chongzhen" and boarded the nest car.
A moment later, Xu Yingwei and "Chongzhen" had already boarded the command nest vehicle.
At this time, the entire battlefield was revealed in the thin morning light.
Therefore, Xu Yingwei and "Chongzhen" could clearly see that the Ming infantry of the four infantry brigades, relying on the surrounding trenches, took turns firing at the swarming Jiannu.
