This time, the Daping Army troops sent to Korea brought a total of more than twenty field artillery pieces, and now these artillery pieces are placed in front of the positions.
However, facing the charge of North Korean cannon fodder, half of the artillery needed to be loaded with shotgun shells, and only a dozen of them were actually equipped with solid shells. The gunners pressed the muzzles of the guns, waiting for orders from the commanding artillery commander.
"We've advanced one hundred and fifty steps. Stay calm and don't fire! Check the fire medium again to make sure it doesn't get blown out by the wind."
"One hundred steps!"
"Eighty steps!"
"Sixty steps!"
"Fifty steps in. Fire!"
"Boom, boom, boom!", there was a row of loud noises, and more than a dozen artillery shells were fired flatly. At such a close distance, there was no need to aim at all, and the artillery seemed to be equipped with bayonets, and it immediately hit the crowded North Korea.
Among the crowd of cannon fodder, there were more than a dozen bloody paths.
As soon as the artillery was fired, the gunners lined up in front of the formation began to fire without stopping. A row of gunshots knocked down a row of Korean cannon fodder. After a few rows of shooting, those cannon fodder hesitated and did not dare to move forward.
Braving such intensive firepower again, those people did not dare to retreat, as there were Qing troops behind them supervising the battle.
Seeing that the rounds of fire cannons had stopped the charge of the North Korean cannon fodder, the North Korean cannon fodder also stopped, and the artillery loaded with cannon fodder also fired one after another. Although the North Korean cannon fodder was outside the range of the cannon fodder, the Marines
Always empty the barrel, load solid shells, and prepare for the next battle.
But this round of shelling seemed to be the straw that broke the camel's back. The charging North Korean cannon fodder was frightened and took a few steps back. Then one person, two people, three people..., everyone turned towards the Qing army.
Zhen ran back.
Seeing the North Korean cannon fodder in front of him turn around and run back, Bo Dun immediately shouted angrily: "Don't be lenient! Kill them all back."
Although the firepower of the Daping Army is very fierce, there is no machine gun barbed wire after all, so it is absolutely impossible to block the charge of more than 20,000 North Korean cannon fodders. And Bodon wants to let these North Korean cannon fodders charge into the formation again and disrupt the formation of the Daping Army.
.As for the casualties of those North Korean cannon fodder? Who cares about such boring things?
So a group of cavalry drove their horses forward fiercely, slashing and killing the North Korean cannon fodder that was escaping back. Under their slaughter, the North Korean cannon fodder also stopped and felt a little unsure of how to feel!
"Boom!" The charging cannon of the Marine Corps was fired. The gunmen in the front row spread out to both sides to avoid the front of the phalanx. The soldiers in the phalanx also held up their spears and marched steadily to the beat of drums.
forward.
The scattered gunmen all fired freely at the North Korean cannon fodder. Although the shooting effect was not very good, the fallen North Korean cannon fodder made the people around him even more panicked, and they all crowded and pushed forward. When they were three meters away from the North Korean cannon fodder,
At the tenth step, the commanding officers in the upper right corner of the phalanx waved their command swords forward, and the soldiers in the first few rows of the phalanx also leveled their spears. The shining spear points made the Korean cannon fodder even more panicked.
Facing the Qing soldiers who were condescending and slashing left and right, the Korean cannon fodder finally couldn't bear it anymore. They used farm tools and wooden sticks in their hands to hit the Qing soldiers, and immediately knocked the first Qing soldier off his horse, and then the next one.
The Qing soldiers were drowned in the crowd of Korean cannon fodder.
With the first one, the morale of the North Korean cannon fodder was greatly boosted. They suddenly discovered that compared with the death-like Han army behind them, the Qing army did not seem so difficult to deal with!
So the desperate Korean cannon fodder rushed towards the Qing soldiers one after another, and the Qing soldiers were knocked down one by one. In the blink of an eye, most of the Qing soldiers supervising the battle had been lost. When Bo Dun saw that the situation was not good, he immediately attacked.
He fled back to his base with the remaining Qing soldiers.
But at this time, the situation was out of control. Hearing the drum beat behind them getting faster and faster, the already frantic Korean cannon fodder held weapons in their hands and rushed towards the Qing army's main formation without fear of death.
Duduo's approach of driving the people first is obviously out of control. Those Korean cannon fodder used to be dead soldiers of the Qing army, but now they have become the killers of the Qing army. What makes our Qing soldiers even more sad is that they have already
The cavalry was moved to the front, and there were no long-range gunmen or archers in front of the formation. So when they saw the defection of the North Korean cannon fodder, they were completely powerless and could only watch them rush towards them step by step.
"Push them back!"
"Get out of the way!"
The Qing cavalry generals commanding from the front issued completely opposite orders, which immediately caused some Qing cavalry to drive their horses forward, and some Qing cavalry to avoid both sides. However, as a result, the complete formation of the cavalry has become seven
Zero and eight fell. In addition, the North Korean cannon fodder defected too quickly. By the time the Qing generals reacted, the North Korean cannon fodder had already charged very close, so the war horses simply did not have enough distance to increase their sprint speed.
This time Duduo's army, the 10,000 Han bannermen, were mainly infantry. The number of cavalry was not large. And among the more than 6,000 Eight Banners soldiers, there were quite a lot of cavalry. Therefore, they could really serve as cavalry.
There are only nearly 4,000 people using it.
So when nearly 20,000 Korean cannon fodder rushed over like a tide, many Qing cavalry were immediately overwhelmed. Moreover, the momentum of the charge was not curbed at all, and a large group of Korean cannon fodder then rushed towards the Qing army's main formation.
…
"Master! Retreat first! Avoid this group of people and wear down their spirit." The Qing generals around Duduo advised one after another. Facing nearly 20,000 madmen who rushed over, all the Qing generals felt in their hearts
Somewhat timid.
"Clang!" With a sound, Duduo, whose eyes were red, pulled out his waist knife: "I won't leave! I won't go anywhere. Come forward and kill them all!"
Then Duduo pointed the tip of his knife at Bo Dun, who had just run in front of him, and shouted: "You slave, is this how you beat me? Turn around and go back to block those Korean pigs and dogs. Otherwise, I will pick off you with my own hands."
Skin!"
Bodun didn't dare to stay at all. He turned around and led his own soldiers to kill them in front of the formation.
When the generals of the Qing army brought their own soldiers and elite armored soldiers to join the front line of fighting, the Qing army's main formation, which had been shaken a bit, gradually stabilized.
Those Qing soldiers gave up fighting immediately. Wearing heavy armor and holding weapons, they slashed at the oncoming North Korean cannon fodder. Because the farm tools and wooden sticks in the hands of North Korean cannon fodder could not hurt the heavily armored Qing soldiers at all.
, so the battle gradually turned into a one-sided massacre.
Seeing that the armored soldiers in front were being killed so happily, the soldiers in the Qing army's main formation also calmed down and stepped forward to help kill them. The frenzied charge of the Korean cannon fodder into the formation was immediately blocked.
