Whether it was hand-to-hand combat from above, or shooting with firecrackers, bows and arrows from above, the Ming army had the upper hand. In addition, the Qing army did not have enough troops behind the second trench, so under the fierce impact, the Ming army finally
Breakthrough.
Although the Ming army spent more than a dozen lives to replace one person from the opponent, firstly, the Ming army had too many people, and secondly, the number of Qing soldiers behind the second trench was small. Therefore, with such consumption, the Qing army could not support
Can't stand it any longer.
Many Qing soldiers were overwhelmed by the swarming Ming troops, and the rest lost the courage to fight and fled towards the third trench. They retreated through the wooden planks erected on the third trench, and then immediately pulled them out
Several fast-footed Ming soldiers also stepped onto the plank, but they were immediately shot and stabbed to death by the Qing army without seizing any passage. So the confrontation scene between the two sides returned to attacking the second road.
The state before the trench.
The battlefield also returned to calm for a short period of time. The Qing army was preparing behind the earthen wall of the third trench. The Ming army continued to fill in the second trench, making the road through it wider and wider. They surged through the second trench.
There were more and more Ming troops in the trenches. After a while, they also became crowded and began to push forward row after row again.
"Master Beile! Ming Gou's side has gone crazy. They are rushing forward with all their strength. Those who are fighting life and death in the front are all the sons of our flag. The other flags are staying behind. Isn't this going to consume us all? Master Beile
! This can’t go on like this. Go to the emperor and beg him to find other flags to replace us!” A staff officer in the first row behind the earth wall whispered to the commanding Qing army with a panicked tone.
The general said.
The Baylor looked at his bannerman, then looked back at Huang Gai of Huang Taiji, with a very indifferent expression. He ignored the commander and immediately ordered loudly: "Prepare the artillery, blunderbuss and bows and arrows.
Okay. Get ready to take turns. Come to the front. Anyone who dares to slack off will be punished immediately."
Huang Taiji is now supervising the battle, so Baylor will never dare to slack off. Besides, the military laws of the Qing army are very strict. Even if you don't lose your head because of preserving your strength afterwards, you will be deprived of your records and property, and your own flag strength will be damaged.
The result is almost the same. So why does Baylor need to conserve his strength? He might as well run for a future with all his strength.
But the staff leader still didn't understand, and he became even more anxious: "Master Beile! They are all your caring minions! Kill all our minions, and there will still be a place for you, Lord Beile, in the Eight Banners in the future.
Is it? We will be the ones who suffer then..."
But midway through the words, Baylor slapped him across the face. He grabbed the collar officer by the front and said viciously: "Didn't you see that all the Eight Banners' national sons have arrived in Jinzhou? Do you think
Isn't the Emperor watching from behind? This battle will determine the fate of the Qing Dynasty. If we don't fight according to the Emperor's request today, we will die without a burial place! We will die without a burial ground! Even our family members cannot be saved. Get up quickly and urge us.
They can't retreat!"
The commander's face turned pale with fright. As soon as Belle let go of his collar after yelling, the commander immediately turned around, struck his horse, and ran towards his troops.
But this time, the firepower of the Qing army was much stronger. The continuous sound of bows and arrows, the roar of firecrackers, and the "rumbling" artillery fire knocked down the charging Ming troops row by row.
Among the troops of the Qing army, an artillery battalion has been set up in each of the Eight Banners, so artillery and muskets are equipped in large quantities. After the battle with the Runing army in Hejian, they have already attached great importance to
The Qing army equipped with firearms. They equipped the firearms even faster. Therefore, in today's firearms confrontation, the Qing army was not at a disadvantage. Coupled with the supplement of bows and arrows and the cover of earth walls, the Qing army's lethality was successful.
doubled increase.
The soldiers in the front row of the Ming army carrying earth and rocks were knocked down one after another. Because most of the earth and rocks had been used to fill the second trench, there was not much earth and rock in the Ming army now. Seeing this, the Ming army in the back row
Under the supervision of the officers, he picked up the earth and rocks that fell on the ground, even picked up the corpses of the Ming soldiers who had fallen on the ground, and still moved towards the trench.
Although the firepower of the Qing army was intensive, there were always fish that slipped through the net. The sudden Ming army kept throwing earth, rocks and corpses into the trenches, and the trenches were gradually filled up. Many soldiers who were driven to the front were not even alive yet.
Before he could fall over, he was pushed down by the people behind him and fell into a deep ditch.
This tragic situation of being buried alive appeared again. But I have to admit that although this state is crazy at the moment, it is indeed effective. Under the threat of swords, guns and death, everyone is busy crazily, seeing this trench
It was quickly filled up again.
The soldiers around Commander-in-Chief Wang Pu, Wu Sangui and others were sent out to supervise the battle. Those cronies knew that they had not been abandoned by the general, and they also knew that only by relying on the cannon fodder in front and the abandoned companions could they break away from the enemy in front of them.
Only with this obstacle can I find a way to survive.
Therefore, these soldiers were particularly crazy when supervising the battle. Everyone was shouting and killing with their swords without acknowledging their relatives. Driven by them, the entire team moved forward regardless of the cost.
In the Ming army's formation, the messengers on horseback were constantly running back and forth. They wanted to communicate the situation on the battlefield to their commanders. When they heard the reports from those messengers, several generals were a little happy.
It's incredible, because if you keep fighting like this, it will stand out after a while.
But the Qing army just blocked the front, which was completely tit-for-tat. And these general soldiers are also familiar with military affairs, and they know that the basic principle of war is to avoid pursuing the enemy. In front of the fleeing army, blocking is
The last resort is to use huge casualties to block this torrent of escape. If you are not careful, you may even be swept away by the torrent. It is a completely method of getting half the result with half the effort. And the generals of the Qing army are also familiar with military affairs.
How could they not know this truth? Is there a fraud in this?
But at this time, the generals of the Ming army had no intention of guessing the Qing army's thoughts. No matter what the reason was, as long as they could break through and everyone could escape alive, this was the most important thing.
At this time, among the several generals, Wu Sangui, who was the leader, took the lead. After listening to the report of the ordering soldiers, he pondered for a moment and said: "Everyone! I thought it would take a lot of effort, but I didn't expect how things would progress.
It goes so well. Let's strike while the iron is hot! The frontal battlefield is now occupied by the soldiers and horses of my general and General Wang. However, the trench is very long and we cannot squeeze in this short line to risk our lives. The other generals might as well lead their troops to the left and right.
Filling the trenches on both sides is also to act as a containment. All the cavalry are here, so there will be no delay!" (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
