Chapter six hundred and seventy-ninth the two armies melee
"Let Tuberi lead the entire army of Eight Banners athletes forward! Immediately! Oh no! Wait!" Dorgon, who was extremely excited, was already a little incoherent. "This time, the entire army must be completely organized. It doesn't matter if it takes some time.
Just let the rain fall. God bless me, the Qing Dynasty! Hahaha——! All the soldiers need to use their lives to wipe out the Ming army with one drum!"
"twitter!"
It rained heavily that day. For the Qing army, it was like rain after a long drought. In the heavy rain, all the long-range weapons of both sides would be ineffective, especially the firearms that the Runing army had the upper hand. Now they were no better than a fire stick.
Although the Qing army's general artillery will be completely useless, they still have some means of long-range attacks after all. The effectiveness of the bowstrings is greatly reduced due to moisture, but no matter how much it is reduced, it still has some power. Not to mention that the soldiers of the Qing army are still equipped with
There are javelins, hand axes and other long-range weapons, but the Runing army has no artillery, fire blunderbuss, and the whole army can't even find a Xiao Li flying knife.
Of course, the heavy rain also caused some trouble for the Qing army in the subsequent charge. The rain and the ground were slippery, and the cavalry would easily slip after sprinting at high speed. But the Qing army was not afraid of this situation. Not to mention those slips, they could endure it.
, at most slow down the horse speed and charge into the formation. Even if you don't use war horses, the Qing army's combat effectiveness in infantry battles is also quite strong.
What is different from our imagination is that the nomadic people's situation of a dragon on horseback and a worm on dismount is completely invisible to the Qing army. In the previous battles between the Qing army and the Ming army, many of the Qing troops were dismounting.
They won a great victory in the battle. Therefore, the Qing army was not afraid of infantry hand-to-hand combat at all, and in terms of weapons and equipment for infantry combat, the Runing army's spears were not very flexible, and individual combat was no match for the Qing army's swords, shields, axes, and shields.
Only the axes and guns of the Runing Army could rival the weapons of the Qing Army.
That's why Dorgon was overjoyed when he saw the heavy rain, and the Qing army was also boosted in morale by the sudden favorable weather.
Relatively speaking, Wu Shigong's face is ashen. In today's battle, even God will not help him. Is he really going to suffer in the battlefield today?
In an instant, a fierce force surged into Wu Shigong's heart. He turned around and ordered: "Huang Ding! You first lead two hundred people to protect Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhou and Master Zhi back to the camp, and the rest of the people follow me.
forward!"
Zhang Zhiheng on the side immediately said anxiously: "Sir, please leave the green hills behind! Escape first!" What Zhang Zhiheng meant was that as long as Wu Shigong was with him, and with the 50,000 troops he left in Runing, Wu Shigong might not be able to make a comeback. If
Without Wu Shigong, the foundation of the Runing Army would disappear. In the final analysis, Zhang Zhiheng wanted Wu Shigong to escape first.
But Wu Shigong flatly refused: "We in the Runing Army have never abandoned our comrades." Then he signaled to Chi Mingyi beside him. Then he took the lead and moved forward. Chi Ming and the flag bearer holding Wu Shigong's flag also followed closely.
Then forward.
After walking a few steps, Wu Shigong turned around and saw Zhi Zhi following him closely. He asked strangely: "Little monk, why are you following me?"
"Subduing demons and subjugating demons! This is what I do in Buddhism. How could the young monk not come?" Zhi Zhi said with his hands together.
"Hahaha——!" Wu Shigong was immediately amused by Zhi Zhi, and he had no choice but to shake his head and follow Zhi Zhi.
…
Zhang Zhiheng, who was staying behind, looked uncertain. Huang Ding on the side asked carefully: "Mr. Zhang, let's leave quickly!"
"Hey——!" Zhang Zhiheng let out a long sigh, then immediately straightened his face and said loudly, "We in the Runing Army have never abandoned our comrades. Today, Zhiheng will advance and retreat with you."
"Well said!" Zhou Junwu on the side also cheered, "This young general, let's go forward together with Mr. Wu!"
Huang Ding touched the back of his head. He felt quite embarrassed. After thinking for a while, he finally could only refuse: "Then let's just watch the battle here first! If the situation is unfavorable, let's move forward together!"
…
Seeing heavy rain, the entire Runing army was shaken. But when the soldiers saw Wu Shigong's commanding flag and took the initiative to move forward, I don't know who shouted loudly for the first time: "My lord, you are mighty! The Runing army is victorious!"
"
Then these words: "My lord is mighty! The Runing army is victorious!" were heard one after another in the Runing army. Gradually, the shouts became more uniform.
Wu Shigong moved forward and passed the phalanx behind him, then strolled to the artillery array and stopped. He raised his hand and waved forward, shouting: "The Runing army moves forward! The Runing army is victorious!"
The soldiers around Wu Shigong also shouted in unison: "The Runing army moves forward! The Runing army is victorious!"
Then the surrounding soldiers and the whole army gradually shouted this sentence. Li Sanhe, who was at the front of the whole army, also shouted while slashing his sword forward and said: "The Runing army moves forward!"
Listening to the shouts of the Runing army and seeing that the Qing army had basically formed a formation, Dorgon smiled and said to his side: "It seems that the wise general jumped over the wall in a hurry."
Then Dorgon also drew his sword, waved it forward, and said: "The whole army moves forward!"
The sound of war drums from both sides suddenly resounded throughout the battlefield.
At the beginning, both Li Sanhe and the Qing army sent a cavalry group to charge into the formation, but after running a few steps, the horses of both sides slipped one after another. The rain on the ground, the melted blood, and the blood on the battlefield were all over the ground.
The horses could no longer sprint at high speed due to the mud. So Li Sanhe and the Qing army restrained their troops at the same time, and approached slowly, preparing for a desperate fight.
When the two sides approached about fifty steps, the two-pronged cavalry took the lead and rushed towards the other side. The Qing army first fired a round of arrows with their cavalry bows. However, the bowstrings of the cavalry bows were weak and did no harm at all.
When a soldier next to Li Sanhe saw this, he laughed and said: "Tatar bows and arrows are probably used by women."
But when the soldier turned his head, he found an arrow stuck in Li Sanhe's throat. Unexpectedly, a few powerful arrows hurt Li Sanhe's vital parts. As soon as the battle started, the Runing army suffered losses.
A general.
"My lord! My lord!" The surrounding soldiers shouted to Li Sanhe in a tearful voice. They saw Li Sanhe clutching his throat and falling to the horse. They immediately went berserk, "Avenge your lord!" Then the Runing Army cavalry at the front started shouting.
He drove his horse into the Qing army's formation.
The Qing army immediately divided its 3,000 cavalry troops to fight with the 2,000 cavalry of the Runing army. The rest of the Qing army rushed in front of the two infantry phalanxes. The two infantry phalanxes immediately formed a forest of spears, preparing for the Qing cavalry charge.
However, the Qing troops dismounted one after another and began to attack the phalanx with bows, arrows, javelins and hand axes. The Runing soldiers in the phalanx fell to the ground one after another, and the scene became one-sided.
"Come out!" the commanders of the two infantry regiments shouted. The Runing army finally dispersed the square formation and began to rush forward to engage in a melee with the Qing army.
"Disperse the formation, form small groups, and charge forward!" Seeing the fierce battle ahead, Wu Shigong also immediately ordered. At this time, there is no way to pay attention to tactics. The victory or defeat depends on the most primitive hand-to-hand combat.
!
The phalanxes of the Runing Army began to disperse. They formed small teams as combat groups and ran towards the battlefield ahead. The troops of the Qing Army gradually entered the battlefield, and they found that they could not run fast.
The war horses were not as good as the infantry, so they all dismounted, holding various weapons, and started a melee with the Runing army.
From the beginning, they were able to maintain a front line, but then they became quarrelsome. In the end, the two sides were fighting together. It was impossible to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, and they just formed battle groups.
On the battlefield, a soldier of the Runing Army often stabbed a Qing soldier, and then he was chopped down by another Qing soldier from behind. From time to time, someone slipped and fell to the ground, and the scene was chaotic.
Everyone's body was covered with blood and mud, but no one flinched. They were all gritting their teeth and fighting desperately. At first, the shouts of killing were still loud on the battlefield, but as the physical strength was exhausted, the shouts of killing became louder.
It gradually became smaller, but the crackling sound of fractures sounded like hail.
However, the battlefield situation gradually tilted towards the Qing army. After all, the weapons of the Runing army were slightly inferior, and the number of the Qing army was also larger. The Runing army began to be beaten back by the Qing army.
"It's our turn!" Zug, who had been waiting for the opportunity, said. Then, wearing heavy armor, he jumped on the first chariot and rushed out first.
"Children, follow me, Master Li!" Li Lu, who was reinforcing the left wing, also followed Zug and rushed to the battlefield.
The addition of this new force immediately turned the tide of the battle. Although the chariots could not run fast due to the mud on the ground, these chariots were able to run rampant on the battlefield, completely disrupting the Qing army's formation, causing the Qing army to rush.
avoid.
Especially those fully enclosed swarm tanks, which are now the only long-range weapons that can be used by the Runing Army, and the density of rockets launched by the swarm is also quite high, causing a large number of casualties to the Qing army.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Dorgon, who had always preserved the strength of the Eight Banners, could not sit still. He loudly ordered: "Send the order to Tuberi! Take the Eight Banners athletes forward!" The Qing army also invested its reserve team.
battlefield.
The addition of 5,000 Eight Banners elite soldiers immediately blocked Zug's chariots and cavalry troops. Moreover, these Eight Banners soldiers almost rested all day and did not lose any physical strength at all. Therefore, they relied on their flexibility to pass through the blind spots of the chariots.
They approached the chariots and destroyed them one after another.
When Li Lu saw this situation, he also led his troops to protect the chariot and prevent the Qing army from destroying the chariot.
So after the Eight Banners soldiers entered the battlefield, the Qing army's decline was quickly reversed, and with the Qing army's step-by-step advancement, the Runing army gradually fell into a disadvantage.
At this time, the artillery and gunmen of the Runing Army also picked up their swords and went into the battlefield. Seeing that there was no reserve team anymore, Wu Shigong also gave a loud order: "All the personal soldiers are following me forward."
