"Come on, charge forward for me. As long as you charge forward, you will win!"
Kong Youde waved his long sword and shouted loudly with red eyes: "Those who move forward will live, those who retreat will die! The only way to survive is to rush forward, so everyone should move forward!"
Next to Kong Youde, stood a large group of soldiers holding firecrackers. Their number was about six to seven hundred people. Their task was not to charge but to shoot at those who dared to retreat. Yes, they acted as supervisors.
The role of the team.
Kong Youde had to fight hard, because behind him, Hauge led thousands of cavalry and were staring at him eagerly. As long as his Han army flag moved slightly, Kong Youde believed that the long swords in their hands would be wielded without hesitation.
Come down.
"Bang bang bang..."
"Bang bang bang..."
At this time, the battlefield was filled with low gunshots. Rows of Han military flags fell down on the battlefield, and people behind them soon filled the gap.
"shooting!"
"Shoot quickly, keep shooting!"
Facing the swarming Qing troops, Wei Jiang, who was originally standing behind to command, could only issue a few repeated orders.
Under the frantic charge of the Han army, the distance between them and the Chinese army had been shortened to about sixty steps. Under the command of many low-level officers, the people in front began to load ammunition and prepare to shoot.
"Quick, load the ammunition!" An officer named Han Banner hurriedly gave the order.
"Fire, fire quickly!"
After making huge sacrifices, the Han army's flag infantrymen who finally rushed to the front raised their firecrackers and fired at the Chinese army on the opposite side.
"Bang bang bang..."
Amidst bursts of gunfire, hundreds of Dahua soldiers standing in the front row fell.
Wang Zhi, who was standing behind, gritted his teeth after seeing his own casualties, and continued to give orders loudly: "Ignore the casualties and continue shooting!"
"put!"
"Bang bang bang..."
"put!"
"Bang bang bang..."
The dull sound of gunfire was accompanied by rising blue smoke-shaped white smoke that enveloped the sky, making the already gloomy weather even darker.
People on both sides kept getting shot and falling down howling, and people kept dying. But at this time, no one alive had time to pay attention to them. Among the living people, the only remaining instinct was to keep reloading.
Then there was non-stop shooting.
Slowly, the Dahua Army gained the upper hand with its good training and sophisticated weapons. Originally, there were nearly 15,000 Han soldiers. With their numerical advantage, they finally suffered huge casualties of more than 5,000 people.
He rushed to a place more than 60 steps away from the Dahua Army and exchanged fire with the Dahua Army.
In the process, they also caused a lot of casualties to the Dahua Army. However, the good times did not last long. The Dahua Army quickly gained the upper hand with its excellent training and the excellent shooting and performance of the Mini rifle.
The theoretical rate of fire of the Mini rifle is six rounds per minute. Although the actual rate of fire cannot be that fast, a well-trained rifleman can still fire three or four rounds per minute. And although the fire blunderbuss of the Han Army Flag is imitated
It is also a fire gun from the Qianming Dynasty. It has good power within 70 steps, but its rate of fire is not flattering, barely reaching one shot every two minutes.
When the Han army flagmen faced off against the Dahua army, they found in despair that when they finished firing a bullet and the second row was about to step forward to shoot, they had already received an overwhelming blow from the opponent.
Under the huge casualties, the soldiers of the Han Army finally collapsed. They threw down the muskets in their hands, let out hoarse wails, turned their heads and ran back desperately. They would rather die under the gunpoint of their own people.
I don't want to continue to step forward and die.
Seeing that there were more and more deserters, Kong Youde ordered his soldiers to kill the soldiers who ran back, while shouting: "Hold back to me, everyone, hold back to me, don't retreat, those who retreat will only die."
"
But the rain of bullets in front was too fierce. In less than two quarters of an hour, more than 5,000 soldiers fell on the front position. The stumps and broken arms everywhere made Kong Youde's orders lose their effect.
, countless soldiers dropped their muskets and ran towards Kong Youde's direction.
"Your Majesty, I can no longer hold my humble position. All the soldiers in front have withdrawn. What should we do?"
A deputy leader reported to Kong Youde with a mournful face. He was the captain of Kong Youde's soldiers. Looking at the soldiers retreating like a tide, he had no choice but to report to Kong Youde.
In front of Kong Youde, the soldiers of the Han Army Banner ran down crying. Kong Youde had tears in his eyes and sighed helplessly: "That's all, let all brothers retreat. We don't have many people left in the Han Army Banner. Don't we?"
Do you really want all your brothers to die here?"
Zuo Ling was shocked when he heard this, "Your Majesty, no, Brother Hauge is supervising the battle behind us. If he knows that it was you who gave the order, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to you!"
Looking at the heavy casualties of the Han flag soldiers in front, Kong Youde choked up and said: "Brothers followed me to join the Qing Dynasty for a better future. But now, not only have I failed to fulfill my original promise, but I have also caused my brothers to suffer such heavy losses.
I can’t help my brothers!”
"Your Majesty, but..."
The lieutenant wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Kong Youde. Kong Youde said resolutely: "That's it. If the emperor is to blame, let me bear the responsibility!"
Seeing Kong Youde's resolute look, the leader knew that his mind had been made up, so he sighed and stopped trying to persuade him.
As soon as the Han army flag was defeated, Wang Zhi at the front noticed it immediately. In the battle just now, the two phalanxes he commanded also lost at least nearly a thousand soldiers. Such serious losses were detrimental to the army that had been established for several years.
This was the first time for the Fifth Army. Wei Jiang could already imagine how dark Wang Zhi's face turned when he saw such a huge loss.
So Wei Jiang, in anger, issued another order without thinking: "Come here, give me the general's order, all advance and annihilate the enemy!"
"Dong dong dong..."
The rapid drum beat sounded again, and under the orders of their respective officers, the soldiers on standby put their Mini rifles on their shoulders and walked forward in neat steps.
"Big brother, big brother, the Han army has retreated and Kong Youde has been defeated!"
A Goshiha stumbled up to Hauge, who was supervising the formation behind him, and panted to report.
"I know!" Haug put down the telescope in his hand and said disdainfully: "I have known for a long time that those Han people are unreliable and will withdraw if they encounter casualties. Go tell Boberg if the Han army flag dares to attack the military formation.
, they will all be killed without mercy!”
"this......."
Although this Goshiha has a humble status, he has just seen how heavy the losses suffered by the Han army flag. In the face of such losses, let alone their Han army flag, even the always brave Manchu warriors can hardly hold on. Now
The eldest brother actually said that he would shoot the Han army flag soldiers who retreated. This was not appropriate!
"What are you doing here, you little slave?" Haug immediately became angry when he saw this Goshiha stunned on the spot.
He raised his hand with a "snap" sound, leaving a whip mark on the face of this Goshiha.
"twitter......."
After being whipped, Goshiha did not dare to neglect, and immediately peed on him.
After seeing Goshiha go down, Hauge raised his telescope again and murmured: "The Han Army Banner has been defeated. Now it's time for Azig and Daishan to join in, right?"
Just as Hauge was complaining, Azig and Daishan also led a blue flag and then a red flag respectively and rushed out from behind the Han army flag, rumbling horse hooves and rushed towards the phalanx of the Chinese army.
"The enemy is attacking, the Tatar cavalry is coming!"
When Azig and Daishan led more than 20,000 cavalry on the frontal battlefield, several observers who had been observing the battlefield situation immediately sounded the alarm.
"Beep beep beep beep..."
A shrill whistle sounded on the battlefield. It was a kind of whistle equipped by the Chinese army. As an auxiliary alarm command method, it was rarely used, but once this kind of whistle sounded, it meant that
There was an emergency.
With the sound of sharp whistles, the two military formations that were approaching the Qing army's formation immediately stopped, and everyone began to check their ammunition.
Azig and Daishan's cavalry appeared very suddenly. When the alarm sounded, they had already appeared less than 400 steps away from the military formation.
The Dahua Army responded very quickly and was quickly prepared. When the Manchu cavalry came to a distance of 300 steps, they were already ready to shoot.
"The first row is ready!"
"Raise the gun and fire!"
"Bump bump bump..."
Another round of gunshots rang out on the battlefield, knocking off hundreds of cavalrymen who were charging at the front.
"put!"
"Bang bang bang..."
"put!"
"Bump bump bump..."
Continuous gunshots continued to sound, and cavalrymen who were galloping forward were constantly knocked off their horses, and were immediately trampled into pulp by the hooves of the horses coming from behind.
"Charge, charge forward and kill all those despicable Nikans!"
Azig stared angrily and ordered the cavalry around him to continue charging in a hoarse voice. Ever since he was defeated by Pang Gang during the southern invasion around the capital a few years ago, what Azig has been most obsessed with is revenge. After several years of
Focusing on development, Azige's blue-inlaid flag has returned to its previous strength. This time he is here to take revenge.
Therefore, although he knew that there was a hail of bullets ahead, Azig still kept urging the knights beside him to charge forward. In his opinion, as long as they could eliminate the two military formations in front of them, then they would win this battle.
Half the battle was won, so Azige could bear no matter how heavy the casualties were. As long as he could wipe out the 50,000 Chinese troops, he didn't care even if it cost him his life!
