The wooden bridge is very heavy, and there are some wooden shields hanging on the front and sides. It is difficult for more than 20 people to hold the wooden bridge and walk very slowly. According to Li Zhi's estimation, these wooden bridges cannot move forward half a meter per second.
.It took a stick of incense to walk and ten wooden bridges to reach the front of the ditch.
At a distance of 200 meters, Li Zhi's Huben Division began to shoot at the wooden bridge. Six hundred bullets were fired at the auxiliary soldiers and followers who were building the wooden bridge, hitting the wooden shield in front of the wooden bridge.
But the Huben Division's bullets failed to kill the Qing troops under the wooden bridge.
The wooden shields placed in front and on both sides of those wooden bridges were very thick, with thick boards half a fist thick. The rifle hit the wood with a crackling sound, causing sawdust to fly, but it did not cause any auxiliary damage behind the wooden shield.
The soldiers suffered casualties. After a round of shooting, the Qing army was safe and sound.
Seeing this situation, the Qing army cheered.
Li Zhi's riflemen couldn't kill the Qing troops who were building the bridge, so the Qing troops could build the wooden bridge arrogantly. Then the Qing soldiers from behind came up and killed Li Zhi's 10,000 soldiers with 70,000 soldiers.
The armor is not left behind. Several Qing soldiers Baylor who were watching the battle even thought that this wooden shield hanging on the wooden bridge was very good. When fighting Li Zhi in the future, should every soldier who rushes into the battle carry this kind of wooden shield?
Shield forward? Guard against rifle?
Shitai Wooden Bridge slowly walked to the front of the first ditch, pressed the front end of the wooden bridge against this side of the ditch, and then pushed the back end of the wooden bridge with all their strength, so that the back end of the wooden bridge climbed over the ditch and landed on the other side.
Three wooden bridges were built over the trench, turning the trench into a thoroughfare.
As soon as the three wooden bridges were placed, the more than 20 auxiliary soldiers under the three wooden bridges fled back behind the wooden shields, holding the wooden shields and slowly retreating behind them. The wooden shields could still be used by the soldiers after leaving the wooden bridges.
More than twenty Qing soldiers worked together to lift it. Although the wooden shield was heavy and made the soldiers walk slowly, under the protection of the wooden shield, Li Zhi's riflemen could only watch the Tatars slowly retreat.
The seven wooden bridges at the back pass through three wooden bridges and press towards the second ditch.
In the Huben Division's formation, Lu Hu, the second deputy commander of the Frontier Regiment, commanded one hundred and forty cannons. He squinted at the Qing army's wooden bridge in front and asked: "General, do you want to use shotgun shells?"
them?"
To deal with this kind of half-punch-thick wooden armor, shotgun shells should really be used.
However, Li Zhi was afraid that one shot of shotgun would scare away the 70,000 Qing troops.
Li Zhi shook his head and said: "Let's not use shotguns first, use solid bullets to push back these seven wooden bridges!" After thinking about it, Li Zhi said again: "Slow down the firing speed, don't scare them."
Lu Hu sang loudly and directed ten artillery pieces to aim at the seven wooden bridges that were slowly advancing.
Only a few loud "boom boom" noises were heard, and ten cannons hidden behind the earthen fort opened fire, shooting solid bullets towards the seven wooden bridges more than 100 meters away.
The five-pound cannon shells roared through the air and slammed into the wooden bridge. The distance was very close, and the hit rate of the ten cannons was very high. Eight of them hit. Those half-punch-thick wooden shields could block it.
The bullets were like paper in front of the cannonballs, torn apart easily. The solid cannonballs hit the auxiliary soldiers and followers under the wooden bridge, destroying everything they touched.
Even if the hands and feet were touched by these cannonballs, they would be severed immediately. If the body and torso were hit by the cannonballs, they would be dead immediately. The cannonballs would not stop until they penetrated at least three or four layers of the Qing army's body.
The blood splattered from the wound was like spilled paint, instantly splashing all over the inside of the wooden bridge, splashing all the Qing soldiers under the wooden bridge on their faces.
In the auxiliary troops under the wooden bridge, the followers were hit hard and their morale was shattered. Any followers wanted to escape.
"Wanda" who was directing the battle saw that the soldiers had lost their morale and shouted loudly from under the wooden bridge: "Rush to the third trench, everyone raise the flag!"
Raise the flag! That is the lifelong ideal of countless followers.
Once you raise the flag, you will no longer be a covering aha, but you will be able to be a flag-bearer with your head held high, you will be able to eat well, wear warm clothes, and have women!
When the followers heard "Wanda"'s words, their morale was greatly boosted, and they returned to their posts howling, using their strength to support the heavy wooden bridge and move forward.
The Qitai Wooden Bridge continued to move forward for more than 20 meters, and the second round of shelling began.
Ten cannons sprayed shells towards the wooden bridge, and ten shells slammed into the bottom of the seven wooden bridges.
Eight out of ten artillery shells hit the target, and another scream was heard from below the wooden bridge. Dozens of auxiliary soldiers and followers were broken by the shells and fell in a pool of blood.
A wooden bridge was hit by three shots. The damage was so great that the surviving Qing soldiers could no longer lift the wooden bridge. They abandoned the wooden bridge in front of the trench and slowly retreated with wooden shields.
Six more wooden bridge trucks arrived in front of the second trench and lowered two wooden bridges.
Seeing that the six wooden bridges in front had successfully reached the second trench, the Qing army cheered in unison. Guru Sihabu, the "Gushan Ezhen" of the Karaqin tribe in the outer vassal Mongolia, said happily: "General, this wooden bridge
It works!”
Abatai and Haug looked at each other, their eyes filled with joy. Since the ten wooden bridges could advance to the second layer of trenches under the pressure of ten cannons, the thousand wooden bridges moved forward simultaneously, one hundred and forty
A cannon cannot be defended no matter what. Hauge’s wooden bridge strategy is feasible!
Dorgon stroked his long beard and pondered silently.
On the front of the battlefield, the four wooden bridges that were still moving forward were hit by another round of artillery fire when they reached between the second trench and the third trench. The Qing soldiers on the two wooden bridges could not resist and abandoned the wooden bridges.
The bridge was pushed back with wooden shields. The other two wooden bridges were pushed all the way to the third wooden bridge, and the two wooden bridges were built on the third trench.
After building the wooden bridge, the Qing soldiers under the two wooden bridges held up their wooden shields and retreated. They successfully reached the third level of trench and were able to raise the flag! The faces of these Qing soldiers were so excited that their faces were red.
Seeing this scene, the 70,000 Qing troops in front of the Chinese army cheered and thundered. They could advance to the third layer of trenches with ten wooden bridges. With a thousand wooden bridges on them, wouldn't it be easy to pass through these trenches? The Qing soldiers seemed to have already seen it.
There was a scene where thousands of wooden bridges were built over trenches despite artillery fire, and 70,000 warriors crossed over from the wooden bridges, killing the Ming army to pieces.
Abata turned his head happily and said to Dorgon: "General, the wooden bridge can be built!"
Dorgon didn't know why, but he became a little nervous unexpectedly. He looked at the Ming army's stronghold in front and hesitated.
Seeing that his strategy was working, Hauge was a little proud and said loudly: "General, let the warriors go forward. We can defeat these Ming troops in just one stick of incense!"
Yibai, the leader of the Eight Banners Mongolian Zhengbai Banner, said: "General, in order to get out of the customs, we can only build a wooden bridge and rush across!"
Even Du Du, who had been a little flustered, stopped saying any dejected words and just stared blankly at the wooden bridge over the trench.
Li Zhi's rifles and cannons fired, but the wooden bridge still rushed up. No matter how you look at it, the situation is favorable to the Qing army.
Dorgon gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, let's charge the wooden bridge!"
