The grenadiers in the Gundam bid are all tall and strong men specially selected from the entire army. Not only that, because the grenades used by the grenadiers are almost as big as cannonballs, the arm strength of these elite soldiers is also
All very astonishing.
As many as 8,000 grenadiers, under the cover of the cis army cavalry and long-range firepower, have cleared the obstruction and harassment of the Mongolian outer vassal rangers in the visual field, and are getting closer and closer to the Qing army's trench line.
Accompanied by the sound of neat footsteps and rhythmic whistles, the grenadiers drew out the muskets at their waists in unison - they were equipped with a good sword and a short-handled axe, and carried a
A musket, and a pocket filled with small, ten thousand enemies - the musket fired preemptively, causing heavy casualties to the Qing soldiers who were holding their breath in front of the trench.
The enemy and friendly forces' guns and artillery fire never stopped on the battlefield, and the roar of the artillery bombardment was like thunder at all times.
But there is no doubt that the Dashun Army's firepower was more powerful, the gunfire was more intensive, and the artillery fire was more intense, so much so that the Qing Army's firepower, which had the advantage of preset positions, was completely suppressed.
An officer had just raised his arm when the Charge was already at his lips:
Governor beep beep beep——!
Beep beep beep beep————!
The trumpet representing death continued to ring through the battlefield. This sound, like the chirping of a nightingale, engraved an unfading shadow in the hearts of almost all the Qing army guards!
In the eyes of the Eight Banners soldiers, they saw for the first time an army that was more disciplined and more capable than their own. After a round of volleys of musketry, more than 8,000 grenadiers finally raised their short rifles.
With their axes, they launched a full-scale charge towards the Qing army's trenches in a solemn column.
This was such a battle, even Bo and Tuo felt as if their hands and feet were frozen, as if they were falling into an abyss, and the prospect of war suddenly became more serious.
Those Eight Banners soldiers were relatively good, but the Han soldiers who came only to eat the Qing emperor's food and pay saw such a horrifying infantry charging column, their faces were ashen and they were trembling all over.
After all, they were all the elites of the Ming Dynasty's frontier troops, and one glance was enough to judge the gap in combat effectiveness between the enemy and themselves. Just from the change of formations and the rapid reorganization of the charging column, these Han soldiers were able to distinguish Dashun.
What a terrible enemy the Qing army is - even more terrible than the Qing army.
"Counterattack! Counterattack! The regent has ordered us to fight back with all our strength. We can't let the thieves attack the trench! Everyone, stop the thieves!"
Nikan, surrounded by several guards, rushed to the front line on a fast horse. Angrily, he drew his sword and shouted everywhere, desperately trying to organize a large army to counterattack, but he was unable to boost the morale of the Qing soldiers.
"You...you should fight back quickly!"
Cold sweat ran down Nikan's back. He was so angry that he was trembling with anger at these incompetent Han soldiers. He was sweating all over his body on a hot day and his hands and feet were cold. Can the world be better? How can we Manchus fight against thieves in order to be satisfied?
Kan's heart was full of sorrow and anger. Can these useless Han soldiers be cured?
The Qing Dynasty must fight back!
These grenadiers of the Shun Army have undergone special siege training, but because the training time is not sufficient, since the Battle of Shenzhou, the high-speed grenadiers have not had many opportunities to go to the battlefield to fight and hone, so
Li Laiheng was not completely satisfied with their ability to attack difficult problems.
However, it was definitely more than enough to deal with the temporary trench defense line built by the Qing army. A mere trench defense line, no matter how carefully Dorgon deployed it, with deep trenches and high fortresses, was definitely not comparable to a solid fortress city.
"Attack! Attack! Attack!"
The army officers and non-commissioned officers scattered among the grenadiers were restraining the attack column and organizing all the soldiers within sight to continue to move forward.
The Dashun Army is getting closer and closer to the Qing Army's ring trench. The enemy's newly built wooden fence and earth wall in front of the ring trench are fragile and cannot hinder the advance of Gaobao. The grenadiers may use short weapons to
The ax can split the wooden fence, or throw thousands of enemies out with one arm, directly blasting a way forward.
This group of infantrymen who were specifically responsible for attacking difficult tasks moved very quickly. In an instant, they had already opened nearly a hundred gaps in the Qing army's civil engineering works. A larger number of grenadiers in the back row immediately followed from the gaps in these defense lines.
Kill in.
The formation of the charging column changed, and it was much smoother than flowing water, which made Nikan feel dumbfounded. It was Bohetuo who was the first to wake up from the fierce offensive of the grenadiers of the shun army. He personally led a group of Eight Banners soldiers of the Xiaoqi Battalion.
Long-handled weapons were kept on one side of the trench to prevent the troops from climbing over.
The larger number of Qing archers and gunmen also gradually slowed down. The column charge of the grenadiers was really shocking. The momentum of such a dense column was extremely terrifying, which led to the first wave of long-range firepower from the Qing army.
Counterattacks could only be sparse and did not have much effect in containing and hindering the Shun army from continuing to attack.
A dense column charge is particularly suitable for hand-to-hand combat. Of course, when a dense column encounters a well-trained and experienced enemy, due to its narrow front and dense formation, it can easily be defeated by the latter's huge firepower advantage. But the Qing Dynasty
The firepower of the army was originally not as good as the current Dashun Army, and it was difficult to rely on firepower superiority to repel the grenadier attack.
Of course, if a dense column charges, it means to concentrate more troops at one point on the battle line to tear the enemy's line apart; or to reach a certain distance, spread out the formation and shoot at the enemy. Because the column is more flexible, it can often move to suit the situation.
position, and then expand into a horizontal formation at a faster speed. Therefore, the essence of the column, especially the attack column, is mainly to carry out fixed-point strikes.
Now the grenadiers of the Shun army are using fixed-point strikes to break through the Qing army's trench line, and the effect is obviously amazing. Such a fierce column charge almost makes all the Qing army and Han soldiers tremble, and they can only rely on Bo Hetuo to personally lead the cavalry.
Only by blocking the gap with the battalion can the collapse be prevented.
"Attack—! Attack—! Attack—!"
The Dashun Army's attack queue was all covered up by the frenzied sound of the attack. The carefully trained grenadiers were not fearless of death, but the strict queue discipline had firmly restrained every soldier in the charging column.
Therefore, once the wooden fence of the Qing army was split open, the soldiers of Goudabiao, who poured into the trench like mercury, began to use tens of thousands of enemies to destructively ravage the enemy.
It can be imagined how chaotic the Qing's frontiers fell into.
Nikan, who was in the midst of thousands of troops, only saw the chaos of the front army. Qing soldiers were pushing and shoving each other and crowded together. Many defenders on the defensive line even fled, abandoning their strong trench positions and fleeing backwards without authorization.
Nikan felt confused and helpless. He gritted his teeth and led his guards to intercept the defeated troops and drove the Han troops back to the front line to fight with the bandits. However, the overall morale of the Qing army was irreparably low for a while. A mere 8,000 people were thrown
A wave of charges by the bombardment soldiers almost defeated the entire Qing army's defense line to the point where the entire army was shaken!?
Nikan really can’t imagine it!
When did the Chuang Niliu thieves become so powerful? Or... should I say, when did the Qing army become so weak?
