Chapter 695 Heartache

Dorgon led the army not far away when he saw more than four thousand Ming troops, about three thousand of whom were lined up in multiple queues and approaching in a serious formation. There were also about a thousand Ming troops riding on

Immediately, they lined up behind the formation, like tigers that were ready to pounce on their prey.

When the forward general who arrived first saw Dorgon's arrival, he quickly went over and reported: "Master, the Ming army's muskets are powerful. They have to blast through their array before the cavalry can break in."

In fact, he didn’t have to say it, Dorgon also saw it. There were many war horses and corpses lying in front of the Ming army. They were obviously shot to death by the Ming army with muskets. And in the first few rows of the Ming army, there were many Ming soldiers.

There were still arrows hanging on their bodies, but they didn't hinder their progress at all.

Dorgon frowned and stared at the advancing Ming army. The catapult was a good tool for blasting away the Ming army's array, but it was too bulky and was still being evacuated from the dock.

However, Dorgon suddenly remembered something, frowned, and immediately ordered: "Go to the dock to get the carriage, and be quick."

The carriage is a convenient thing. Several soldiers were responsible for one, pushing and pulling it, and soon reached the front line.

Twenty carriage carriages are quite a lot, and six or seven carriage carriages are arranged in a row, which is also a wide row.

Dorgon immediately sent the most elite Baya La soldiers as the vanguard behind the first row of carriages. His purpose was to use a hundred Baya La soldiers as arrows to tear apart the Ming army's formation.

As long as the Ming army's formation was torn apart, he believed that the Ming army's musketeers would be slaughtered.

It is not unreasonable for Dorgon to think so. Because first, the Bagala soldiers, as the most elite unit of the captives, are basically selected from a hundred and are the soldiers with the strongest fighting ability on the battlefield.

They are not engaged in production at all in normal times. They have wine to drink and meat to eat, and they only practice combat skills. In wartime, they often wear three layers of armor, with chain armor inside, cotton armor in the middle, and iron armor outside. Their defensive power is amazing.

The soldiers' sharp knife troops are used at the most critical moment.

Second, the musketeers of the Ming Dynasty generally have zero melee combat capabilities. As long as they are approached by Dajin soldiers, they will be massacred.

But this is the most elite unit of the Ming Army. Looking at the equipment of the Ming Army, their muskets are equipped with bright gun heads. It is obvious that they may have a certain degree of close-quarters strength, which is still different from the Ming Army I have seen before.

Dorgon had raised the close combat capabilities of the Ming Army's musketeers to a higher level in his mind, but in any case, he did not think that the Ming Army's musketeers could defeat the Baya La soldiers in close combat.

In fact, not only Dorgon thought so, but all the Jianlu soldiers, including Baya Labing, thought so. They could even conclude that even the ordinary elites of the Jianlu soldiers could fight the Ming army's musketeers at close range.

It also firmly has the upper hand.

What the Ming army had was not just the powerful artillery and sharp muskets. Besides firearms, what else could it have!

This is the consensus of all Jianlu. In other words, Jianlu is just afraid of the Ming army's firearms.

If Jierhalang was here, he might not think so, because he had seen the close combat capabilities of the Ming army in Niutugang, but it was a pity that he was not here.

Cao Wenzhao used the telescope behind the formation and clearly saw Dorgon's arrangement. He let out a "hum" in his nose, knowing that Jianlu would come with this trick.

At this time, he also secretly admired Hou Zhongxing.

Because everyone at that time believed that it was enough for the musketeers to practice shooting well. But Zhongxing Hou also specially transferred martial arts professors to find out a set of assassination techniques with flintlock rifles for the musketeers to practice. Even the most practiced ones were

Assassination. At that time, many people felt that this was really unnecessary.

But since the last Niutugang blocking battle, the importance of musketeers practicing assassination techniques has been proven.

Cao Wenzhao immediately sent his personal guards to pass orders to his three generals, preparing to deal with Jianlu's chariot and wall tactics.

Groups of Jianlu hid behind a moving wall and began to advance towards the Ming army. However, the Ming army continued to advance as if they had not seen it.

Dorgon was a little surprised. What kind of mystery was the Ming army general doing to actually attack him head on? He saw the two armies getting closer and closer, and without any time to think about it, he immediately ordered the troops behind to get ready.

When Jianlu followed several rows of archers behind Baya La soldiers to estimate the distance and began to shoot with bows and arrows, a sudden change occurred in the Ming army.

The Ming army's originally formed "one" formation suddenly changed into an inverted "eight" formation, and then went to outflank Jianlu's carriage.

Jianlu's Baya soldiers passed through the gap between the chariots and quickly saw the reaction of the Ming army. They immediately shouted and rushed out of the chariots, and began to engage in close contact with the oncoming Ming troops.

While shouting and charging, they took out the throwing weapons such as throwing axes they carried and threw them at the oncoming Ming army.

Although some of the Ming soldiers in front had multiple protections at critical parts, many of them were hit by flying axes and fell to the ground.

A smile appeared on Dorgon's face. He believed that the ensuing close combat would be a one-sided massacre. Then he ordered the follow-up troops to follow up and completely destroy the Ming army.

But before he could finish speaking the order, he heard the sound of gunfire from the Ming army, and he quickly looked up.

When they discovered that the Ming army was charging, they ran and fired. At such a close distance, no matter how much armor the Baya soldiers wore, they could not protect themselves from the lead bullets fired from them.

Some Baya soldiers were shot and fell to the ground before they could even throw out their throwing weapons. When those Ming soldiers rushed a short distance before Jianlu, they suddenly formed a formation in threes and threes, and then moved forward.

Rolling fight.

Before the Ming army came close to fight, one man fired a shot and slaughtered almost a hundred Baya soldiers. Dorgon's heart ached when he saw them.

He had never understood why the Ming army's muskets didn't need to be fired while standing, but now he saw that the Ming army could still fire while running. The one hundred Bagya soldiers were the essence of his army, and they were just gone.

Dorgon gritted his teeth and loudly ordered the follow-up troops to follow him. He sacrificed a hundred Baya soldiers in exchange for the opportunity to annihilate this Ming army, which was considered worthwhile.

But the changes in the Ming army immediately surprised him again. In addition to the middle part of the Ming army fighting, the two outermost Ming armies formed several rows and opened fire on Jianlu's follow-up troops.

, cut off the Jianlu team and divided it into two.

Immediately afterwards, the Ming army's cavalry pressed forward again, and they ran to the front of the team, dismounted, and lined up to shoot. The entire formation of the Ming army was like a triangle, and inside the triangle were the two sides fighting hand to hand.

Dorgon watched helplessly as the Dajin soldiers in the Ming army's triangular formation were gradually eliminated by the Ming army. However, the subsequent reinforcements were blocked by the surrounding Ming army and could not rush through at all.

He saw with his own eyes the small formation of three Ming army musketeers. After facing the Dajin soldiers, they were both defensive and offensive. In the blink of an eye, they stabbed down a Dajin soldier, killing him with fear. When

The musketeers of the Ming army actually had such powerful melee capabilities!

As the saying goes, if the house leaks, it rains all night long. When this side is in trouble, the rear comes to report. The Ming army's chariot camp bites the catapult troops and asks for reinforcements.
