A sharp whistle sounded, and upon hearing the whistle, the sword and shield soldiers and spear soldiers who were waiting on the defensive line quickly withdrew from the battlefield under the command of their respective 100 households and the general flag.
This strange situation was soon discovered by Amin, who was paying close attention to the battle situation. As a general, the most basic thing is to have a quick response. The spearmen and sword and shield soldiers had just withdrawn from the city gate.
Min immediately realized the Ming army's intentions.
"No, the Ming army is going to retreat. We must not allow them to retreat into the city easily." Amin's face changed and he turned around and asked a messenger next to him: "Order, the cavalry must attack resolutely at all costs, and must hold back this force."
Ming army, if you order the infantry behind to join the battle, they must not be allowed to enter the city!"
"Scum!"
Watching the messenger leave, Amin felt agitated. Like all Qing generals who fought against Pang Gang for the first time, Amin was first in disbelief, and secondly, a deep fear arose in his heart.
and fear. He overturned the previous image of the Ming army in the hearts of the Qing army as cowardly, incompetent and greedy for life.
The scene of the battle just now made Amin have to admit that this is an unprecedentedly powerful enemy, and his power has exceeded his imagination.
The crisp gunshots overturned Amin's image of bulky and useless firearms. The firearms held by this Ming army had a long range and powerful power beyond Amin's imagination. As a man who advocates bravery and
Amin was a general who came from a violent nomadic tribe. He really couldn't imagine that if all the Ming army, not even one-third of the Ming army were equipped with such weapons, would the Qing country still have a way to survive?
"We must not let this Ming army live, never!" Amin, with a livid face, clenched his palm-like hands tightly. With the intuition of a soldier, he knew very well that once this Ming army entered Nanshan Seoul,
With the advantage of the city, the role they can play will increase exponentially, which explains how many Manchu warriors the Qing army will have to pay if they want to capture this small city.
Thinking of this, Amin pulled out a giant ax hanging in the middle of the horse and shouted loudly: "All attack! Warriors of Manchuria, charge!"
"Come on!"
Following the thunderous shouts, a thousand Qing troops wearing white armor and white helmets who were originally watching the battle also entered the battlefield.
Once the Qing army intensified its attack, the Ming army in front immediately rushed in and the pressure increased. The densely packed Qing army was certainly the best target, but the shooting speed of the Mini rifle was limited after all.
The Qing army only had two thousand riflemen to withstand the firepower, which was not enough. In the end, Wang Zhi led a thousand cavalry and fought desperately for a while before they were able to block the first round of the Qing army's onslaught.
"Asshole, these Qing soldiers are crazy!" Pang Gang stood in the middle. He was gnashing his teeth with hatred for these Qing soldiers. In less than a meal just now, he had already lost nearly dozens of riflemen.
There are more than 200 sergeants including more than 100 cavalry and 780 or 80 pikemen.
Pang Gang felt distressed and extremely worried about so many casualties. This was different from the last time he fought in the capital. Last time, although he dared to lead more than 3,000 sergeants, he dared to arrogantly fight against 50,000 Qingmen led by Azig.
The reason why the army is the best is not because he believes in how brave he is, but because he knows that behind him are gathered 80,000 of the most elite troops of the Ming Dynasty. With these 80,000 elite troops of the Ming Dynasty as a backing, he will not worry about his own safety no matter what.
Safety. But this time it was a cross-sea battle in a foreign country, and there was no supply of soldiers or anything. If he was not careful, the whole army would be wiped out, so he had to keep up his spirits.
Looking back at the sword and shield soldiers and riflemen who had retreated behind him, Pang Gang slowly ordered: "Shrink the defense circle and slowly retreat into the city!"
"Stand still, hold still, don't panic!" Pang Gang knew that the most dangerous time for a troop to retreat is because there is hope of survival at this time, and it is very difficult to retreat when no one wants to die.
It could easily turn into a retreat, and then everything would be over. Many powerful and powerful armies that were famous for a while left Maicheng on this inconspicuous retreat.
"Riflemen, increase the firepower and speed up the rate of fire! The cavalry will maneuver to cover and slowly shrink the defensive circle!"
Under Pang Gang's command, everyone covered one after another and slowly retreated towards the city gate. The cavalry was still covering in front, and the riflemen provided fire support inside. However, because the cavalry from both sides were mixed together at this time, they were afraid of hurting their own people.
The riflemen threw rat weapons, and the firepower suddenly weakened.
"The trumpeter blew the trumpet and ordered the cavalry to withdraw first!" Seeing that the cavalry led by Wang Zhi was tightly held by the Qing soldiers, Pang Gang immediately knew the Qing soldiers' plan. While ordering the cavalry to retreat, he called Li Yuan
He said to him: "Now the Tatars have entangled our cavalry. Their purpose is to entangle us and prevent us from retreating into the city. You immediately lead your troops into the city, and then immediately go up to the city wall. On the city wall
Cover the retreat of the large forces, do you understand?"
"I obey my order!" Li Yuan handed over his hand and said hesitantly: "Sir, you should also withdraw into the city with me. As the commander-in-chief of the entire army, it is too dangerous for you here."
Pang Gang shook his head and said: "No, this is an extraordinary period. If I withdraw into the city at this time, it will have a great impact on morale. If the morale of the soldiers is messed up, the retreat is likely to turn into a rout, so I must stay
here."
After receiving the order, Li Yuan immediately led his troops to withdraw into the city gate. Pang Gang watched as Li Yuan led a thousand riflemen to withdraw into the city, and he also picked up a mace and shouted loudly to Huhe Road: "Brothers
Guys, all of you follow me out to welcome back our brothers! Charge!"
"Kill!"
Pang Gang shouted slogans and rushed out from the front, with only more than a hundred soldiers behind him.
At this time, the battlefield outside had become a mess. Countless Qing army cavalry and Ming army cavalry were entangled and fighting together. When Pang Gang led more than a hundred cavalry and rushed out, he happened to see more than ten cavalrymen.
The cavalry was surrounded by dozens of Qing cavalry. Pang Gang immediately rushed over, picked up the mace and smashed it. The mace made a piercing whistle in the air. The Qing soldier hurriedly raised his left hand.
When the shield was in first gear, the mace and the shield made a loud bang as soon as they came into contact. The Qing soldier and his shield were smashed into two pieces by the mace weighing dozens of kilograms."
"Wow!"
This moment stunned all the Qing soldiers around. The power of this stick was so fierce. However, the Qing soldiers were indeed extremely ferocious. Several Qing soldiers could tell from the armor on Pang Gang that this man must be
Instead of being afraid of the generals of the Ming army, they drew their horses and charged towards Pang Gang.
"Well done!"
Pang Gang was not surprised but overjoyed. He galvanized his horse and rushed over. He circled the mace in his hand and smashed it at the Qing soldier closest to him.
The sound of "bang bang bang bang" kept ringing. It is said that one force can defeat ten groups. With brute force, three or four Qing soldiers were knocked off their horses by him in a short while, and the soldiers following him were not idle either.
, took out his gun and fired at the Qing soldiers in front. As a "bump" sound was heard, the Qing soldiers were quickly knocked to the ground.
Pang Gang yelled: "Quick, follow us all, don't get separated!"
The advantage of cavalry lies in their mobility. A cavalry that loses its speed is equivalent to losing most of its martial arts. Pang Gang led the cavalry to kill left and right, galloping around outside the west gate. When he saw the Ming army being surrounded, he immediately rushed forward. He went to rescue him. Gradually, more and more people gathered around him, like a snowball, gradually increasing from more than 100 people to more than 700 people. Even Pang Gang, who was known for his strength, was sweating profusely when he reached the back. He looked back around and asked, "Is anyone else trapped?"
"General, no more, brothers are all here!" An unknown voice answered.
Pang Gang wiped the sweat from his forehead and gasped: "Okay, let's retreat immediately before the Tatars can react." After saying that, Pang Gang turned his horse and ran towards the city gate. ....
The Ming army's cavalry retreated towards the city gate like a long dragon, and behind it was the dense Qing army chasing them. From time to time, the lagging Ming army cavalry was knocked to the ground by the Qing soldiers with bows and arrows, while the Ming army running in front also They have no time to pay attention to the fallen brothers. They know that if they were a little slower, their fate would never be much better than that of the brothers behind them. This has nothing to do with mercy or not, it is just an iron law on the battlefield.
"Hurry, catch up quickly, we must not let them enter the city! Otherwise, so many warriors will die in vain!" Amin yelled crazily among the Qing army, seeing that the meat in his mouth was about to slip away, who would it be? I can’t stand it either!
"Bang bang bang..."
While the Qing soldiers were chasing madly on horseback, a sudden burst of gunfire rang out. The dozens of Qing soldiers who were chasing them and were shooting arrows wildly seemed to have been knocked off their horses by a fist, or they were knocked off their horses. A green onion rolled upside down on the ground. It turned out that the riflemen who rushed to the city wall first were providing emergency support on the city wall.
Since Pang Gang led his team to firmly stop the Qing soldiers outside, at this time all the riflemen outside the city had entered the city and climbed onto the city wall, providing fire support.
But this time it was very different from the previous formation to face the enemy. At this time, the riflemen hiding behind the crenels were condescending and could see clearly, and with the cover of the solid city wall, their safety was also extremely high. With great protection, they can now take full advantage of the accuracy of the Mini rifle without any rush.
Although their marksmanship has not yet reached the point where guns can bite flesh, but under this kind of free shooting, the accuracy of the riflemen has been greatly improved. In less than a cup of tea, the cavalry who originally followed Pang Gang The elite cavalry of the Qing soldiers behind them lost hundreds of people, and the horrific casualty rate shocked the Qing soldiers.
Thanks to zhongyoudahu and Shangguan Daohou for the reward, thank you all!
