Chapter 31: Niu Coluo and Chen Tai are not brave enough
The Qing army's gallant cavalry galloped across the battlefield, and the Ming army's scattered and defeated soldiers were not worth mentioning at all. They were just cattle and sheep left to be slaughtered by them.
Chen Tai rushed to the front. He shot four arrows in succession. Except for one of the arrows that missed the target and stabbed a corpse, the remaining three arrows each killed a Ming soldier.
Chen Tai's name sounds very much like that of a Han military bannerman, but this is just a coincidence. He was born in the Niu Colu family, and was the grandson of Niu Hulu Eyidu, one of the five founding ministers of the Later Jin Dynasty. He was also a Manchu nobleman.
That's why he was able to command the most elite Baya La Zhangjing in the Qing army as Baya Lajia Lazhangjing.
These Bagala soldiers are the elite among the elites of the Qing army, and are actually the core force of the Manchus. Among them, the Bagala soldiers with white cloth armor are more elite than the Bagala soldiers with red armor. The white armor soldiers
Yala was later the guard camp of the Qing army, and was the personal army under the direct control of the commander, while the red-armored Ba Yala was the cavalry battalion in the later establishment of the Qing army, and was an important elite field soldier of the Qing army.
However, Huang Taiji carefully selected a group of forward troops from Bagala. These Bagala outposts were called Garbush Xianchaoha, and they were more elite than Baijia Bagala.
Each vanguard soldier is equipped with one set of armor, one bow, 70 arrows, one saber, one sword, one hatchet, one sickle, one short spear, one hook and whip, and hemp rope
Forty pieces, two velvet ropes, and four steel drills.
It can be said to be fully armed and a real killing machine.
The dozens of Baya Lajia soldiers beside Chen Tai were almost all white-armored guards, and three or four of them were the Qing army's most capable outpost Garbush Xianchaoha soldiers.
With such fighting power, it is not surprising that Niu Colu and Chen Tai are arrogant and frivolous.
But the Chuangjun in front of him was not an ant that could die with just a pinch. Even if it was an ant, the venom before death would still be very painful for the Eight Banners soldiers.
Following Luo Bin's shout of "let go", the group of light artillery with the farthest range roared first, and the sky full of iron shot through the space where the broken soldiers dispersed, hitting the Bajala Manchu soldiers.
In the loose attack formation, several war horses were immediately killed.
Two Manchu Tatars were caught off guard and fell to the ground. Other war horses galloped past behind them, almost trampling the Tatar to death. However, the martial arts of the white-armored soldiers were indeed amazing. At the critical moment, the two Tatars used amazing skills.
Roll out of the way at a fast speed.
However, the remaining heavy-duty cannons of the Chu army were also fired at this time. The "Thunder" that once shocked Xiao Yuan's camp finally rushed towards the Qing army.
The concentrated sound of the cannons was louder than all the shouts in the chaotic battlefield. The thunder that tore the eardrums shot down several horses. The two Tatars who had fallen off their horses were finally unable to dodge at this time and were shot down.
The corpse of the war horse had its thigh broken, and it was wailing and trying to crawl out.
"who!"
Chen Tai exclaimed in Manchu. Without thinking much, he leaned his body on the horse's mane, clamped his legs on the horse's belly, and advanced like a javelin.
After he intuitively judged that he had entered a suitable shooting range, he immediately half-bowed his body, flew an arrow and killed an intruder gunner.
The remaining white-armored elite soldiers were not directly intimidated by the thunder of the "Ting Army". Although they were very frightened, they had never experienced such a shocking volley of guns.
However, the physical reactions and muscle memory developed through many years of fighting allowed these extremely capable white-armored soldiers to rush over instinctively. They either threw short spears or used precise arrows, killing more than a dozen people in the blink of an eye.
A soldier of the Breakthrough Army.
But when the Baya Lajia soldiers advanced a little further, Chen Tai found that the bamboo baskets, bamboo sticks, and antlers in front of the intruders blocked their way. It was difficult for the four hooves of the war horse to cross such a distance, so Chen Tai did not even think about it.
The first one takes the lead to dismount, then rushes over and cuts off the antlers with his saber.
How could the Chuang army just sit back and watch the Eight Banners soldiers attack?
Luo Bin also took the lead and rushed out. He held the waist knife in both hands and was the first to rush towards the Eight Banners soldiers. Then, except for a few of the remaining soldiers who continued to load muskets, the rest of them held brand knives and long swords.
The spear rushed out.
At both ends of the bamboo basket and antlers, more than a hundred soldiers from the invasion army and dozens of Baya Lajia soldiers collided.
"Drink!"
Dozens or hundreds of voices shouted at the same time, and people were fighting each other instinctively. Luo Bin chopped the weapon in his hand left and right, then stood firm and shouted sharply:
"There is death and no life, we can climb mountains of swords, we can break through seas of fire. If we hold on for a while, we will all make great contributions to the army!"
During the hand-to-hand fighting, the Qing army was able to suddenly open up a small space, and then fired a burst of dense arrows, which shocked the Chuang army. Several arrows were shot at Luo Bin.
One of Bin's classmates in Suiying Academy and the second-in-command of the unit suddenly jumped in front of him and used his body to block the arrow. The arrow hit his throat.
He fell in front of Luo Bin, and raised his shield with trembling hands to protect Luo Bin. But Luo Bin had no time to take good care of his classmate's body. Bagala's sword slashed at him, making it impossible for him to dodge.
You can only use your left arm to force it down.
The blade cut hard into Luo Bin's body, and then paused for a moment until it touched the shoulder blade. Luo Bin caught the long knife with his left arm, took a step forward, and stabbed the waist knife into the enemy's chest and abdomen.
between.
But in the blink of an eye, he felt something was wrong in his hand. Bagala's double armor prevented the sword from being fully immersed. The enemy immediately pulled the long sword back, and with just a hard tug, his left arm was almost cut off, leaving only
The lower half of the bones and muscles attach to the shoulder.
Luo Bin took a deep breath, but the attack of dozens of Eight Banners soldiers almost overwhelmed the two hundred invaders. The tense situation made him unable to feel the pain in his shoulder at all, and he just continued to stab the waist knife with his right hand.
, until it was completely penetrated into the Tatar's belly, then stirred vigorously, and then pulled it out like a scabbard, bringing out a shocking blood spray.
The fierce counterattack of the Chuang army made Chen Tai have the same idea as Luo Bin. He didn't know who the enemy in front of him was. This kind of tenacious fighting power reminded Chen Tai of the final stage of the Songjin War.
, the Ming army border soldiers who resisted until the last moment around Hong Chengchou.
They have the same temperament, that is, with the support of sufficient food and salary resources, the normal combat effectiveness of Han Chinese soldiers can make the arrogant savages outside the pass feel indestructible tenacity.
Chen Tai saw with his own eyes how Luo Bin killed the outpost of Bush Xianchaoha whom he was familiar with. Strong anger arose in his heart, and he resented his own foolishness for causing the Manchus to suffer unnecessary losses.
Why did the enemy in front of me not turn around and run away immediately?
The two forward soldiers beside Chen Tai used their bodies to push away the wall of intruders. Chen Tai seized the moment, took a half step back, raised his bow and shot an arrow, and fired the arrow almost in half a breath.
This heavy arrow hit Luo Bin's helmet squarely, smashing a rather large hole in his helmet. Unfortunately, the arrow was positioned half an inch higher and did not penetrate into Luo Bin's forehead.
The soldiers of the intruder army reacted and blocked the way again. They used their numerical advantage to semi-surround dozens of Baya Lajia soldiers. There was a dense bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom,,,,,,,,,,,,,,.
A volley was fired without losing any opportunity.
Before Chen Tai could react, three or more bullets penetrated the two layers of armor on his body. The lead bullets were like nails and swords, leaving no trace behind and carrying a fierce impact.
Chen Tai's entire upper body was knocked away.
He lost his center of gravity and fell backwards, and then the Saber players around him swarmed in. One long knife cut Chen Tai's throat, and another knife slashed directly on his face.
The grandson of Niu Gulu Edu and the son of Cherge were chopped into pieces by the ant-like invading soldiers.
Luo Bin covered the wound on his left shoulder and shouted excitedly. The soldiers of the invading army, who had been semi-surrounded by dozens of dismounted white-armored soldiers, advanced even more bravely.
The heavily armed Manchu soldiers were just ordinary human beings. After being stabbed or shot by an arrow, they would still be fatally injured and die on the battlefield.
The elites of the Qing army are suffering the most meaningless losses.
Luo Bin was breathing heavily, and the severe pain in his left shoulder was slowly coming. He half-squinted his eyes, trying to show a smile for his current victory, but he could only twist his face and be speechless.
A soldier beside him just wanted to help him, when he was hit by an arrow in the side of the neck and fell to the ground. Luo Bin turned his head, and before he could see clearly who was attacking, he was thrown towards him.
A short spear pierced the head.
Luo Bin didn't have time to think, and his body was carried backwards. Yi Bilong, who was also leading his troops to pursue the remnants of the Ming army, was keenly aware of the difficulty Chen Tai had hit, and he rushed over as quickly as possible.
Unfortunately, it was not possible to save Chen Tai's life, but it dealt a fatal blow to the small sentry unit of the Chuang Army.
But Ke Bilong's killing of Luo Bin did not bring him any joy. He rode his horse and approached the Chu army's position where Yu Zizi was resisting fiercely, and said in surprise:
"These people are not the Ming army! Who are they? The style and color of the clothes and armor they wear are different from the Ming army. Who are they? What kind of enemy did we encounter!"
