Fushan Mountain is neither tall nor steep. It can even be said to be just a series of large earthen mounds. However, it is said that Nuwa was born here. Later, Fuxi and Nuwa gave birth to children here and multiplied the human race.
Therefore, there is also a Xihuang Temple at the foot of the mountain.
In autumn, Fushan Mountain is all yellow, with gravel and low shrubs everywhere, making it look very inconspicuous.
Looking from a distance, the peaks are connected with each other and appear in an endless stream. From a distance, they look like birds on the water, so it is called Fu Mountain. There are two peaks in the east and west facing each other. At this time, the Ming army was based on the Xifu Mountain Peak.
The cavalrymen wore sapphire-blue cotton armor with red edges to show that they were soldiers of the Han army with blue flags. The mountain was gentle, and the cavalry galloped up the mountain shouting, raising dust all over the sky.
When they rushed to halfway up the slope, they discovered the Ming army, but it was not the Ming army that had fled in panic before, but the top troops of the Ming army who were also wearing armor and were waiting.
The front line resists the horses in three formations, and then uses spears, muskets, and shields to form square formations, and so on in three rows.
This is the first stack. It relies on the mountains, jungles, rocks, etc. to form the first line of defense.
A total of five thousand imperial infantrymen.
Serving as the first stack is Warrior Town.
Liu Mu, the chief military officer, stood in the third row of the stack with a broadsword in his hand, and the general's flag was behind him. The Tatars rushed in, and the five thousand warriors and soldiers in the first stack stood up one after another, with their flags flying high.
The cavalry who rushed forward seemed stunned for a moment, but did not stop because there was no military order to retreat or stop charging.
Xu Erxian also noticed the Ming army suddenly appearing in front of him, but he was just stunned for a moment and then laughed again.
"Little Jier, rush over!"
Xu Erxian believed that the cavalry could break through the opponent's defense line in one fell swoop. Although it was disadvantageous for the cavalry to attack the mountain from above, there were not many soldiers on the opposite side.
Moreover, he has great confidence in his cavalry, which are the elites who have conquered the east and west.
The thousand cavalry in the middle where he is can completely break through the Ming army in front.
He asked the servants around him to blow the charge horn.
Not only did they not retreat, but they ordered the charge to be accelerated, relying on the momentum of the cavalry to break through the Ming army in one fell swoop. Once they broke through, all that was left was to behead people.
"There is merit in defeating the enemy, there is reward in beheading, kill!"
Facing the three rows of resisting horses placed in front of the formation by the Ming army, these armored cavalry were not afraid and urged their horses to speed up the attack.
Quickly rush closer.
Liu Mu looked at the overwhelming Qing troops coming over, and his heart was pounding. Fortunately, they were the imperial camp. Warrior Town was formed from the imperial camps such as the Western Zhejiang Yingbing and Yongwei, and they had fought many battles.
The most important thing is that it has a full strength of five thousand soldiers and good equipment.
"The Supervisory State supports our Warrior Town with generous pay on weekdays, raising troops for a thousand days and deploying troops for a short period of time. Today is the time for our Warrior Town to serve the Supervisory State. Let us use the heads of our enemies to prove that we are worthy of the name of warriors!"
The supervisors of Warrior Town once again announced rewards in front of the battle line.
"Beat an enemy and capture one, and you'll be rewarded with ten taels of silver!"
There are also generous rewards for capturing officers of all levels, and even capturing horses and mounts, and seizing armor and weapons, there are additional rewards.
"Those who died in battle for the country will receive a pension of twenty taels, and those who are disabled will receive a pension!"
The amounts of pensions and rewards are higher than the original ones, almost doubled.
The town supervisor who was a Jinshi was standing in front of the formation wearing armor and carrying a sword.
The soldiers in Warrior Town were also excited and clenched their swords and guns.
Liu Mu was calculating the distance and keeping a close eye on the enemies. They were the first in line and had to be tough.
Seeing the cavalry rushing to a hundred paces distance.
The momentum shook the mountains, and the sight was filled with people and horses. It was truly astonishing. The ordinary volunteer regiment would probably have turned around and fled in fear when faced with the momentum of thousands of cavalry charging into the formation.
But Warrior Town is not a country soldier. They have experienced many battles, large and small. Although some soldiers have only served as soldiers for more than a hundred days, these more than a hundred days have turned them into a new person.
There are three battalions in the third row, with three battalion officers standing at the front.
There was a Biao commander behind them. Seeing the cavalry running closer and closer, he immediately ordered the Biao artillery team to take the lead in firing.
The cannons of the standard artillery team are all small cannons weighing one to two hundred pounds. They have been loaded with shotshells in advance and given an order.
More than a dozen cannons sprayed out in the distance, blasting out countless lead pellets.
These cannons are light and have a short range, but relatively speaking, when blasted out, countless pieces of lead and iron are ejected, but they are much stronger than bows and arrows.
The Qing troops who were at the forefront had already begun to draw their bows and arrows on their horses, and some were directly throwing spears and spears, but they never expected that this Ming army still had this trick.
There was a loud rumble, and a barrage of projectiles rushed towards him.
Although the lead piece is small, anyone who blocks it will be killed immediately, and both men and horses will pass through it.
In one fell swoop, a group of cavalrymen fell.
The cavalry behind continued to charge, and the artillery team fired again.
These cannons have a short range but a fast rate of fire. The skilled gunners moved skillfully and cooperated with each other, and they quickly fired three cannons.
The three battalion officers in the first formation also kept staring at the front of the formation.
Seeing that the standard artillery team had fired three cannons, they immediately ordered the battalion artillery to fire. According to the plan, the imperial battalion will be equipped with at least two battalion artillery at the battalion level, each weighing several hundred pounds, to facilitate transportation and transportation.
But it is still under construction now.
At this time, each battalion in Warrior Town was also equipped with battalion artillery, but it was the squatting tiger artillery that was planned to be equipped to the sentry team in the future. It only weighed more than thirty kilograms and could be carried by one person.
This kind of tiger crouching has a shorter range, but it also mainly uses shotguns. It can also spray one piece at a time. When the enemy rushes forward, the power of one tiger crouching can be compared with ten archers.
Ten tigers from each battalion squatted and fired a volley.
The tiger crouching cannon fixed on the ground sprayed out large amounts of small lead particles, knocking down many of the cavalrymen who rushed in front of the horse.
Dozens of Qing cavalry had already fallen before they took over the formation. However, these cavalry were very fierce and were not intimidated. They continued to charge forward one after another.
When faced with a resisting horse blocking the road, he was also very skilled in using a spear to push it away, or he could directly jump over the horse, or he could use a rope hook to drag it away.
It only slightly slowed down their speed.
On the battlefield, these resisting horses bought some time for Warrior Town.
The gunman took advantage of the enemy's delay and raised his gun to shoot.
They did not seek precision, but concentrated their guns and fired in three rows in turn in order to block the barrage.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! There are not many bird gunmen in Warrior Town, but these bird gunmen took turns to fire their guns in three rows, and they still fired out barrages. For the attacking cavalry,
The damage is not small.
Their cotton armor is very effective against arrows, but its effectiveness against fire cannons is average. Although it is more fireproof than traditional iron armor, it still causes heavy casualties at close range.
If you are unlucky enough to be shot, you will definitely be injured. If you are unlucky and hit a vital part, you will either die or be disabled.
The archers also fired arrows.
These archers are taller and more powerful than the gunmen. They are even better than the average spearmen, swordsmen, and shieldmen. They are all tall and powerful.
They draw their bows and draw them strong, and release arrows continuously. Compared with the shotgun soldiers, who do not strive for precision, the archers aim straight and shoot without resorting to overhead shots.
The blue cavalry continued to charge.
Finally, they passed through three lines of resisting horses and rushed to the first row of three battalions of infantry. Many of the thousand horsemen had fallen, especially the artillery and muskets that had hit them hardest, but these people still gritted their teeth and charged.
With a burst of energy, he wanted to break through the Ming army's defense line.
"Tiger!"
"Tiger tiger tiger!"
With three tiger roars, the spearmen had already raised their spears, and a forest of spears was set up in front of the formation. Facing this dense spear thrust, the cavalry who had just crossed the death line rushed forward.
They chose to charge and had no other choice.
The terrain on this mountain is uneven and there is no way to turn around.
Moreover, they don't want to retreat, they are confident that they can break through in one go.
Together with men, horses, and armor, weighing thousands of pounds rushed into the Ming army's line. In an instant, countless spears collided.
The infantryman thrust his spear into the horse's belly and into the knight's body.
The cavalry's spears pierced the infantry's bodies, and the horses jumped on the infantry.
A violent collision.
Swords clashed, flesh and blood intertwined.
Thousands of cavalry rushed forward, tore a gap open, and then continued to rush forward without stopping.
In the second row, the standard artillery and battalion artillery fired one after another, and then the gunmen, archers, and then the spearmen and swordsmen fired their swords.
The cavalry moved forward with all their heart, rushing forward one after another. They only rushed forward, regardless of the left and right.
Finally, he tore through three rows of defense lines in Warrior Town and rushed to the commander-in-chief Liu Mu.
Liu Mu stood under the banner of Warrior Town.
Next to him are his standard soldiers, and like him, everyone has a broadsword.
This is the most characteristic Biaoying sword team of Warrior Town. They are wearing iron armor and holding a sword in their hands. Liu Mu yelled, "Cut!"
The swordsmen are like a wall, leaping and slashing forward.
Facing the nearly three hundred cavalry who rushed in front of them, their battalion of pacesetters, holding broadswords in their hands, ran into them without fear.
The wall of swords collided with the cavalry.
A thousand cavalry companies broke through three infantry defense lines and rushed to the general's flag, but they could no longer rush.
But Liu Mubiao's camp wielded swords like a wall, like tigers descending from the mountain.
"cut!"
A flash of sword light flashed, and the cavalrymen and horses at the front were chopped to pieces, blood and flesh splattered on the ground, and dozens of people were killed or injured.
"cut!"
Liu Mu roared angrily and took the lead in waving his sword. The wall of swords rolled forward. The cavalry who could no longer move forward were attacked by them like tigers descending the mountain, and they fell one after another.
Even their blue cotton armor could not stop the sword array that was powerful enough to slice through Mount Hua.
Three hundred cavalrymen who broke through the three formations of the warriors were finally killed and retreated step by step. These cavalrymen's faces were pale with shock. They had never seen such a brave soldier.
There were hundreds of cavalry behind, still being besieged by three lines of warrior infantry.
These thousand cavalrymen completely lost their momentum, and many of them were pulled off their horses.
The soldiers in Warrior Town were now in groups of three, advancing and retreating in an orderly manner, cooperating with each other, and understanding each other very well.
The Qing army could only dismount and fight on foot, fight back with bows, arrows, muskets, and engage in close combat with knives. However, these cavalry dismounted were not as good as the Ming infantry, especially because they fought with fewer troops and were quickly overwhelmed.
At this time, Xu Erxian also realized that something was wrong with the battle situation, but he did not retreat in time. Instead, he shouted loudly and ordered that the other three groups should all gather in the middle and continue to break through this line of defense.
By the time the other three groups of cavalry came over, the thousand cavalry had basically been completely defeated and no longer formed a formation. Only a few defeated soldiers were still running around, blocking the way from left to right.
Xu Erxian led three thousand cavalry together, followed the first attack route, and fought over again.
He gritted his teeth. Although the first line of thousands of cavalry had been defeated, the Ming army's defense line had also been torn apart. As long as he worked harder, victory would still belong to him.
