Ming Taizi's Total War

Chapter 232 A dead end

Just when the infantry in the front rows were killed and seriously injured by the impact of the horses, the infantry in the back suddenly rushed over screaming.

"For the sake of Daming, for the sake of the Son of Heaven, brothers, follow me." A handsome officer brought his soldiers and killed them, trying to fill the positions of the first few rows of soldiers who had just been killed.

His name is Xu Ruogu. When Zhu Cihong recruited soldiers and horses in Jinling City to reorganize Jinyiwei and Banner Guards, he joined the army. Because he was a scholar, he was directly awarded the position of Chief Banner Officer. household.

Although the cavalry of the Qing army in front of them looked extremely ferocious, like ghosts coming out of hell, the Ming court and Zhu Cihong held a heavy weight in their hearts, coupled with their desire to make contributions, they defeated the enemy. of fear.

That's why they can rush forward to fill the formation without hesitation when they suffer huge casualties in a short period of time.

Because they felt that Zhu Cihong was a good emperor who kept his word. He was different from the previous emperors. As long as he was around, the treatment of the soldiers would be guaranteed, and the future would be better and better.

The exploits they made on the battlefield will definitely be honored, and the pensions for their deaths will be handed over to their relatives. Zhu Cihong will definitely remember what they have done for Daming.

"Hmph, it's really overreaching, a group of Han people who are stupid enough to send themselves to death." Seeing Xu Ruogu and others, Azig said disdainfully.

In the next second, he swung his mace and smashed it on the shoulder of a Ming soldier who was trying to attack him with a knife.

Huge power was immediately transmitted to the Ming army through the mace. Although the armor was still intact, the huge force transmitted to the body made the Ming army lose consciousness in his shoulders and fell to the ground. Lost consciousness.

The combat effectiveness of the Ming army was not very good, and they did not cooperate well in the battle. In just a few minutes, Azig and the soldiers around him killed more than a dozen Ming soldiers.

Gradually, with the passing of physical strength, Azig found that no matter how he and his Eight Banners soldiers killed, the Ming army around them would not decrease at all.

On the contrary, there are more and more Ming soldiers around. Standing on horseback, you can't see the end at a glance. There are black heads and helmets everywhere.

"Damn it, we are entangled by the Ming army." Azig quickly understood his current situation.

As he lost his speed, the shock cavalry was useless, but there were more and more Ming troops around them, entangled them tightly, and now they could neither leave nor launch a new round of offensive to attack the Ming army. The formation of the army can only consume one's own strength little by little in the fierce battle.

"Stop rushing around, form a formation, and don't give the Ming army infantry any chance." Azig emphasized to the soldiers behind him.

Now that he was surrounded, he had to preserve his limited strength for the time being and wait for the time to come.

Fortunately, Azig's opportunity came soon, and he was surprised to find that the Ming army in front of him became less and less, and the formation became thinner and thinner.

Although I felt a little strange, how could the Ming army, who was still fighting them endlessly just now, leave suddenly.

It's a pity that Azig didn't think much about it. He thought that the infantry of the Ming army couldn't bear the huge casualties, and they were frightened by the cruel battle and became deserters.

This is not uncommon on the battlefield, and even Azig has experienced it many times. After all, most of the troops of the Ming army were recruited temporarily. It's just impossible.

That's why Azig thought that the Ming army in front of him became less and less today.

"All the soldiers listen to the order. The enemy has revealed its weak point. Follow me to fight out and catch Zhu Cihong. This war will be over." Azig gave an order, and nearly ten thousand cavalry crowded together, forming a dense battle formation.

Afterwards, Azig led the Eight Banners Xiaoqi to rush out first, and easily broke through the formation of Ming army infantry in front, but when he ran a certain distance, Azige realized that something was wrong.

The Ming army did not relax, nor did they run away. Instead, they formed a strict formation on both sides, blocking the passages for the Qing cavalry to scurry around, forcing them to move forward.

Although Azig felt that there was a big conspiracy waiting for him, he believed in the weapon in his hand, the horse under his crotch, and the Eight Banners warriors behind him.

The Eight Banners Army is invincible, even if there are any traps or obstacles, they will be crushed under our horseshoes, Azig thought.

But soon he will forget this idea, no matter how hard an iron shoe is, it can't be as strong as a gun, Zhu Cihong's gunner will teach him how to be a man.

When Azig and the Eight Banners cavalry ran forward for a certain distance, Zhu Cihong's musketeer appeared in front of him.

Seeing the gunners waiting in full force, Azig realized that something was wrong. Now that he was in such a narrow terrain, he had no room to dodge at all, and the army had no way to disperse and form an evacuation formation. , will definitely cause huge casualties.

It's a pity that the command on the battlefield is not sensitive. The speed of the Qing army's cavalry has already been pulled up, and it will be difficult to slow down. If Azig stops suddenly, don't worry, he will definitely be stabbed by the spear behind him.

War horses are not cars, they don’t have brake pads, they are not something you can stop if you want to. Human beings can’t control themselves and fall down if they want to stop while running. If war horses stop suddenly, they will fall naturally Even more powerful.

Thinking of this, Azig knew that he had no choice but to bite the bullet and rush forward.

It's a pity that this is destined to be a way of thinking, Zhu Cihuang's gunners will teach them how to behave.

Just when Azig was about [-] steps away from the gunner, Zhu Cihong's gunner started to shoot.

Because the speed of the Qing army's cavalry is very fast, even if it stops suddenly, it will slide forward for a long distance, which will have a certain impact on the formation of the Ming army, so they must fire first to ensure that the Qing army's cavalry is dead No, even with kinetic energy, they will not be able to reach the formation of gunners.

I saw multiple rows of gunmen kept shooting at the Qing cavalry with their guns. The first row finished shooting, the second row went up, the second row finished shooting, and the third row went up. caused a huge blow.

Behind these gunners are auxiliary soldiers several times larger than these gunners. They hold a large number of spare firearms in their hands, including bird guns, three-eyed guns, and hand guns. They also carry a large number of projectiles, gunpowder.

Once the gunners finished shooting, they would hand over the guns to them for reloading, and then take a new firearm from their hands to prepare for the next round of shooting against the Qing army.
