On the ice of the Baigou River, which is more than twenty feet wide, from northwest to southeast, in the vast whiteness, all the vision and space are filled with the blood of soldiers. Countless soldiers are struggling and running
As they continued, they waved their weapons one after another, speaking languages with similar accents. Swords and guns thrust out, clubs fell, and the corpses of the soldiers fell forever into the broken glacier.
Whether it is the Chuang army or the Ming army, they have the same bun, the same hair net, the same Chinese language and voice. Many of them originally had a relationship between defenders and protected ones, but at this moment, they have to change their relationship.
Falling into such brutal cannibalism.
The entire battlefield was shaking. In the melee involving nearly 100,000 people, even if Li Laiheng used all his eyesight to observe and look out, he could not see the full picture of this battle.
He could only see a cruel scene in front of him: the flying flag of the Chuang army slowly fell down, and a vigorous Guan Ning cavalry rushed over, and then was quickly shot and killed by the gunman of the Chuang army, and then the Ming army's
The light cannon was fired, and the dense shells turned the intruder gunner into a sieve.
Such scenes spread all over the Baigou River, and the bloody fighting even filled the air with a deep red stench. Hao Yaoqi kept shouting at the top of his lungs. He was no longer a simple general, but a general.
Bearing the responsibility of taking more lives, we need to make correct commands and choices at many moments.
Guan Ning's shotguns and light artillery overwhelmed the Chuang army's cannon fire. Hao Yaoqi knew that each infantry unit of the Chuang army was also equipped with a large number of light artillery. He was trying his best to mobilize the troops, trying to use this
He had the resources to launch an effective counterattack, but the chaos on the battlefield made Hao Yaoqi's efforts seem particularly fragile and powerless.
Li Laiheng, who was arranging the overall situation of the Chinese army, was also in a state of distress. The tenacity and tenacity of Guan Ning's army were far superior to that of Qin's army. Their fierce counterattack had caused heavy casualties to the Chu army. Li Laiheng must not let this situation continue.
Go down.
"The light artillery must be concentrated and used!"
Li Laiheng made the same judgment as Hao Yaoqi. In normal battles, distributing light artillery to various tactical units is a more flexible and appropriate configuration. But in high-intensity firepower confrontation, breaking through
The army also needed to concentrate its light artillery and fire violently in order to knock off the Guan Ning army's renewed fighting spirit.
Boom boom
From time to time, thunderous shelling sounds were heard on the ice field battlefield, including heavy artillery fired from the northeastern bank of the Baigou River, and shotgun shells fired from the Guan Ning Army's front line. Projectiles, large or small, had the same thing in common: they could freeze the frozen river.
It blasted out broken craters and large flying ice shards.
Immediately afterwards, the soldiers from both sides began to push hard, and the sword players were pushing hard, trying to push them into the bone-chilling Baigou River before the enemy.
Li Laiheng also discovered that Hao Yaoqi, who was in the melee on the front line, seemed to be unable to dispatch the front line. He ignored the threat of artillery and immediately handed over the dispatching tasks of the Chinese and rear troops to Chen Yongfu and Fang Yiren, while he
He took the few remaining pro-army troops and rushed to another gap in the battle line, and also exhausted his energy to run the war machine of the invading army.
Fang Yiren couldn't help but sigh when he saw that this "master" who always put his own selfishness above everything else was flying into the bombardment that was causing large swaths of ice and snow.
"The master of the palace is also a brave man today!"
Chen Yongfu had a straight face, not knowing what he was planning in his heart, and whispered in his mouth: "The overall situation is still uncertain!"
The scale of the battlefield was so vast that Li Laiheng led his troops to rush at high speed for a long time. He even doubted whether he had rushed out of the battlefield. It was just the continuous sound of cannons and the constant shouts and fighting sounds of the soldiers.
Only then did Li Laiheng become convinced that he was still at the forefront of the fierce battle.
"Gather the light artillery!"
The pro-army knights passed on the orders one after another. Because the battle was too fierce, the generals could not accurately grasp where the tactical units with light artillery were scattered on the battlefield, so only Li Laiheng and the pro-army knights rushed to the line of fire in person.
After increasing the dispatch, they managed to raise the firepower for counterattack.
"Commander!"
Ma Bao, the general of Chu Chuang who had just rushed out of the chaotic battle, happened to bump into Li Laiheng's position. When he saw Li Laiheng kissing the front line of fire, he couldn't help but screamed with worry and joy.
But right behind Ma Bao was a group of Guanning cavalry who came to cover up the attack. The general at the head was another Mongolian with his hair shaved in the middle. He was one of the highest-ranking Mongolian Yiding in Wu Sangui Ningyuan Town.
Before the battle, Wu Sangui promised that he would be promoted to deputy commander-in-chief after the war.
"General Bashen is the leader of thieves!"
The knights around the Mongolian general Bakyong all saw the figures of Li Laiheng and Ma Bao, and they shouted in unison to warn Bakyong of the enemy general's location.
However, Ma Bao moved faster than Guan Ningjun. Before the enemy approached, Ma Bao had already slapped his horse and turned around. He only greeted Li Laiheng half way, and then penetrated into Guan Ningjun's queue from the diagonal thrust.
.
"I was also called the Three Treasures!"
"Ma Sanbao" is a nickname given to Ma Bao in his early years. It refers to Ma Sanbao, a famous general of the Tang army who followed Li Shimin to pacify Chang'an in the early Tang Dynasty. This nickname was used to describe Ma Bao's martial arts and bravery.
It’s just that Ma Baoguan has become bigger and bigger in recent times. Although he is still a mighty general, in terms of specific command, he has actually often assumed the power and responsibility of General Guoyi, even the general level. Not to mention commanding a team of thousands of people.
Even commanding a force of 10,000 or 20,000 people is not a problem.
As a result, he rarely had the opportunity to display his martial arts skills. At this time, he suddenly rushed into the enemy's battle line against the trend, with spears flying and horses dancing. Li Laiheng was really praised in front of the battle!
"Ma Sanbao! My Zuo Xiaowei!"
Bak Yong, the Mongolian general under Wu Sangui, was suddenly hit by Ma Bao's counterattack. He was caught off guard and wanted to draw his bow to fight back. But as soon as he grasped the handle of the bow, he realized that due to the weather, he could not open his bow at all.
In just this moment of consideration, Guan Ningjun's team was completely rushed away by Ma Bao. Ma Bao had not fought so happily for a long time, and he had suffered several wounds all over his body during the chaotic battle.
, but he roared and fought fiercely without any signs of fatigue.
But behind Bakyong, another group of infantry from the Guanning Army followed up. They were all under the command of Shanhaiguan Commander-in-Chief Gao Di. They immediately pushed in more than a dozen light artillery pieces, and the Mongolian Yiding quickly dispersed the group.
Opening, only a few booms were heard, and the shotguns shot out like raindrops. In an instant, more than half of Ma Bao's cavalry were injured, and the horses fell to the ground one after another. Many brave warriors did not even have a chance to fight back, and they died.
Li Laiheng knew that he could not take it lightly at this time. He clamped the horse's belly and picked up a spear with one hand to block the Mongolian Yiding who rushed in front of him. The soldiers immediately swarmed up and hacked the enemy to death. Then they immediately deployed a counterattack, and the intruder army's
The light artillery also began to roar, tilting the firepower in front of the enemy.
Then the sword warriors put their shields in front of them. Although the shields could not completely offset the damage of the light cannon, they could also play a significant protective role. The warriors fought for the cost of casualties and just relied on a shield to rush in.
Within the enemy's firing range, rush all the way in front of the artillery soldiers until they capture the entire light artillery team.
"When we are ready to open fire..."
Li Laiheng ran left and right, spending a lot of effort and energy in the chaotic battlefield, and finally mobilized the light artillery of the Chuang army. Then the firepower of the Chuang army counterattacked. Although the number of light artillery of Guan Ning's army was greater than that of the Chuang army,
There are more, but the artillery fire of the Chuang Army is more reasonable, and it has greater power and range at the same weight, so the actual shooting accuracy is not inferior to that of the Guan Ning Army.
Ice chips flew across the battlefield, causing the entire ice field to emit tragic wails. But what really shocked the entire battlefield was not the light artillery counterattack of the intruders but the Qing troops rushing in from the other side of the river.
At the critical moment, Liu Fangliang withdrew from the northeast bank of Baigou River before the Qing army's infantry and cavalry counterattack. He led his troops to quickly rush back to the center of the Chu army, eager to tell Li Laiheng that the Eight Banners soldiers had probably joined the Ming army to help in the battle. But this happened
At that time, Li Laiheng had already separated from the Chinese army, which inevitably caused Liu Fangliang to be confused for a while.
Fortunately, both Fang Yiren and Chen Yongfu were quick thinkers and had an overall view of the situation. They made the right decision in time. They did not make the dangerous decision to withdraw suddenly under the threat of the Qing army's infantry and cavalry. Instead, they decided to ignore whether the enemy would
There was also a stronger reserve force, and they decided not to retain their troops, but to press forward all the Chinese troops, striving to suppress the enemy in a short period of time and then find ways to adjust the front line.
The scene on the battlefield was so majestic, and so shocking that it was hard to turn away. Even Li Laiheng, who was used to seeing battle scenes, couldn't help but feel a little nervous all over his body when he looked at the large group of braided soldiers coming out from a distance.
A sense of trembling.
Is the enemy's ability to seize fighter opportunities more sensitive? Or was it a coincidence of fate that contributed to this tragic collision?
The "final decision" that Abate had been waiting for finally arrived. The Qing army finally took action when both the Chuang army and the Guan Ning army fought to the point of exhaustion.
Wu Sangui, Gao Di, Liu Zeqing, and Li Fuming, who had almost lost all their money, all the Ming army generals showed smiles of relief.
To them, those swaying braids emerging from the distant horizon seemed to be the most beautiful and memorable scenery at this moment.
Wu Sangui even thought to himself that in order to feel relieved at this moment, he could forget all the cruel fights with Jiannu, not with Dongshi.
