Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 954 Decisive Battle 7
The unlucky Ma Ke turned into a mass of meat under the trampling of the war horse. It is estimated that even if his mother was found, he would not be able to recognize what that mass was.This is Mangurtai's first general lost in this battle, but he is not lonely. A few seconds after he fell off his horse, a bullet pierced the neck of Ren Chao, the team's deputy. Then blood and flesh penetrated the guy's chest, blasting a hole the size of a bowl. The guy leaned back, fell off the horse, and died on the spot.

The chief general and deputy general died without even gnawing on the enemy's hair, and the charging Qing cavalry couldn't help but feel a little terrified.They all surrendered to the Guan Ning Army. After the Guan Ning Army gained the bonus of shaving their heads, they became much more aggressive, but their nature of bullying and fearing the hard has not changed. Charging at gunpoint is already an outburst of character. Now that I see my family being cut down in clumps like leeks by the new army of Heluo, and the arrows I shoot can't reach them, how can these Qing troops bear it?They yelled in horror, turned their horses, and retreated as if the tide was ebbing.Behind them, bullets shot like the wind, blowing up a puff of blood mist, the screams of the victims and the muffled sound of the horse falling to the ground made the liver and gallbladder of the still alive split, and they retreated even faster.

Mang Gurtai saw it clearly, and he was furious: "Father, this group of Guan Ning army is really unreliable. They just died and they collapsed! Trash, all of them are trash!!!"

The generals of the Qing army had different expressions. The generals from Houjin all had sneers on their lips and looked disdainful, while the generals from Guan Ning's army had faces that turned green and white, angry and embarrassed.As the most powerful general in Manchuria, Mang Gurtai had no idea how many elite Ming troops were defeated by him. He despised the Guan Ning Army who came over to him, and he showed his displeasure to Guan Ning Army. Now, Guan Ningjun behaved like this, so naturally he would not look down upon them.Guan Ningjun is naturally 120 unhappy about this, even Huang Taiji is polite to us, you reckless man, why do you show us face all day long?But they dare not speak out when they are angry. Who makes them so bad at fighting?

Fortunately, the situation on the battlefield did not give Mangurtai more time to scold others. At this time, let alone the cavalry of the Guanning Army, even the musket troops with the Han army flag could hardly hold on, so Mangurtai had to temporarily Shut up that bitch and put your energy back on the battlefield.

The battlefield is full of gunpowder, and the musketeers shoot each other tens of meters apart. Basically, the Han army flag shoots one round, and the Heluo new army shoots three rounds. Rifled flintlock guns can fire much faster than old-fashioned matchlock guns.After receiving three volleys of guns from the Heluo New Army, the Han Army Banner finally fired a volley. To their disappointment, so many muskets fired at the same time, but not many soldiers from the Heluo New Army fell. The muskets fired by the army were obviously not as many as theirs, but they could shoot them down row by row!There is no way, the range and accuracy of the front-loading smoothbore gun are not at the same level as the front-loading rifle, and the propellant and firing mechanism are very different. It is very unfair to shoot against the Heluo Xinjun.The only thing worthy of praise is that after being repeatedly hanged and beaten by the Tianxiong Army, the Qing Army finally learned to fire in bursts in three stages, instead of firing all the muskets at the same time as before. Being rushed over by the enemy to slaughter... So, despite the huge gap between the two, these musketeers still caused casualties to the Heluo New Army.

Seeing this, Xue Siming gave an order, and the Heluo New Army, which originally had six teams shooting in turn, changed its formation. The two teams fired at the same time, and the firepower density doubled!This time the flag of the Han army was disastrous. They were beaten to pieces, and the screams and cries were earth-shattering and horrible.The Han army flag couldn't hold it anymore, and screamed back, the Heluo new army took advantage of the momentum and slowly pressed forward, and now the Han army flag musketeers retreated even faster, heading straight for their own army formation!
The surviving musketeers were greeted by a hail of sharp arrows.For these Han army banner soldiers who have turned into blood men whether they are dead or alive, Mang Gurtai will certainly not be soft-hearted. Seeing them rushing towards his army formation, he ordered the archers to shoot arrows without saying a word. Here, these Han flag officers and soldiers are all cannon fodder. Of course, he will not risk the military formation being disrupted to accept these cannon fodder.As the bowstring trembled, the Qing army fired arrows like rain. The muffled sound of arrowheads tearing flesh and screams sounded at the same time.Some had arrows in their bodies and were still breathing. They were wriggling in pain in a pool of blood, but they couldn't get even the slightest bit of mercy. Neither the Qing army nor the Heluo new army would care about their life or death.

Mang Gurtai roared angrily: "Zhenglan Banner, press on!"

Tens of thousands of soldiers on the Zhenglan Banner roared in unison: "Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!" The drums thundered violently, shaking the sky and shaking the earth. Tens of thousands of proud soldiers and warriors were in front of the archers and soldiers behind, like steel waves. They rushed forward to the Heluo New Army likewise, roaring "Wan Sheng" every three steps, shaking the ground violently!
Xue Siming sneered: "Are you willing to mobilize the elite? Come on, I'm tired of waiting!" He took out a flare and fired it, and a green meteor shot straight up into the sky, and one could be found within ten miles.The artillerymen of the Heluo New Army took the risk of accidentally injuring their allies and fired fiercely. The artillery fire suddenly became unprecedentedly fierce. The shells almost flew past the scalp of the Heluo New Army and fell into the ranks of the Qing army. The rushing fireballs were like a plate of meat rollers rolling over the middle of the Qing army, devouring every living life, leaving a mess!After being bombarded so violently, the Qing army inevitably became confused, and its consistent vigor was severely suffocated, and it was difficult to recover.And this was just the beginning of the disaster. The three rows of musketeers of the Heluo New Army infantry pulled the trigger together, and the unprecedented fierce firepower swept across. Clumps, piles fell down.After two volleys, the Qing army's formation had become much thinner like a radish that had been slashed by a knife, and several places were deeply dented.Before they came to their senses, the Heluo New Army blew the horn, and thousands of new army soldiers pulled out their dagger-shaped military stabs at the same time, and formed a terrifying knife wall with bayonets, and slammed towards them!
There was no earth-shattering roar, and Shaanxi Lengwa was not used to yelling to vent their emotions. They just pursed their lips, bent their backs, and trotted all the way towards the enemy army. Dark and fearful, the tidal wave of footsteps and the icy gazes were more terrifying than the devil's roar. The surviving crossbowmen of the Qing army looked at the wall of bayonets slamming into them, and were so horrified that they almost lost their minds and screamed. Come on!Then they were ruthlessly knocked over, and trampled to pieces by combat boots!The Heluo new army crashed into the incomplete formation of the Qing army, which was beaten as if it had been chewed by a dog. The soldiers held their bayonets and stabbed the enemy in front of them fiercely. The muffled sound of the bayonet piercing into the flesh was loud , the Qing army was stabbed in pieces, and the screams kept coming and going!
A shell fell nearby, throwing Mangurtai off his horse, and staring at him.When he got up and got on his horse, he was stunned to see that the mighty Zhenglan Banner infantry phalanx was being submerged in pieces by the black tide pouring in like a rice field by the sea!Those black-clothed soldiers used their rifles as short spears, and stabbed at the body of his soldiers. The short sword mounted on the front end of the "short spear" was only more than a foot long. It was inconspicuous, but its lethality was astonishing. With one stab, even the armor of Sauron's dead soldiers can't hold up!Now the order of the Qing army is completely chaotic, unable to form a complete army formation, and can only watch in despair as the people in front of them are knocked down and stabbed row by row, and finally stabbed in the chest with bloody bayonet... …

Mang Gurtai roared: "Cavalry attack! Destroy their infantry! Destroy their infantry!" Seeing that everyone hadn't reacted yet, he simply took the lead, raised his horse and rushed towards the infantry phalanx of the Heluo New Army!The Zhenglan Banner cavalry also realized that they could no longer stay here to compete with the Heluo New Army cavalry for cross-eyed competition. They must attack to repel the Heluo New Army infantry and buy time for the infantry to regroup, otherwise they will be defeated in this battle. Lose!The desolate Conch sounded, the Zhenglan Banner cavalry was in the front, the Mongolian cavalry was behind, and the Guanning cavalry was at the end. One by one, they jumped on their horses with their swords and swords, and overwhelmingly pressed down on the wings of the Heluo New Army infantry!

The desolate horn horns also came from the Heluo New Army, and the cry of "Long Live" almost shook the sky. The Heluo New Army cavalry charged almost at the same time. The difference was that their target was the Qing Army cavalry!Zhong Ning and his [-] Lancers rushed to the front. The tactics of these Lancers were the same as in the past. They were all lined up in three lines, side by side like a wall, and charged with their guns.But after getting a little closer, the cavalry of the Qing army discovered to their horror that the horses ridden by the cavalry of the new Heluo army were generally half a foot taller than their horses, and their speed and explosive power were also much stronger. In front of the Lancers, they are like a group of monkeys riding donkeys!

Damn it, where did the Heluo New Army get so many horses that are one in a thousand! ?
There was no time for them to think about it. The Lancers began to accelerate at 300 meters, and soon reached the limit of speed, slamming over at a speed of nearly [-] kilometers per hour!Those archers from the Mongolian Plateau only had time to shoot two arrows, and didn't even have time to draw out their sabers, when the spears of the Lancers stabbed them in the chest.At such a terrifying speed, Leng Feng was almost invincible. Regardless of whether it was leather armor, cotton armor or iron armor, they were all pierced through like tofu. The front chest went in and the back chest exited. Popped out, bringing out a bunch of blood.The Mongolian cavalry riding short Mongolian horses were either stabbed to death by the horse lance or knocked over by the ferocious European horses. The Mongolian knights who once made Daming helpless were so vulnerable in front of the Lancers riding European horses. I can't stand the rounds!In contrast, the performance of the Manchurian cavalry was not bad. Although their faces were pale and their hands were trembling, they still gritted their teeth and pointed their spears, nail guns or horse lances at the fast-moving Lancers, or pointed their throwing axes, iron bones, etc. He threw it fiercely, and when he was stabbed by the Lancers, he also stabbed and smashed the Lancers over.It's just that the exchange ratio is a little different, which can be seen from the fact that a plow goes straight forward like a plow, and one side is turned on its back.

Mang Gurtai is worthy of being the most fierce general in Manchuria. He is indeed very fierce. When he was more than twenty steps away, he threw a spear first and hit the horse of a lancer and nailed him to death. He rushed through the gap. In the past, the horse's spear pole was shaken to block an incoming horse spear, and then a swirling thrust knocked the Lancer off his horse.The moment the two horses passed by, he stabbed one person onto the horse's back to avoid the two spearheads from the third row. The spears trembled and swallowed, and another lancer was stabbed off the horse. .He killed three lancers in a row and broke out of the formation in an instant. This skill was indeed impressive. In terms of martial arts, only Xue Siming in the entire First Army could compete with him. None of these lancers could match him!However, the era of relying on individual bravery to determine victory or defeat has long passed, and other Qing troops are far less capable than Mang Gurtai. Their queue was smashed into pieces in front of the copper and iron walls of the Heluo New Army Lancers, and they were just one After a round of collision, the four men and horses turned into dead bodies on the ground!
Mang Gurtai's complexion was extremely gloomy.He knew how terrifying the Lancers were, and he was prepared for this, but he never expected that in just two or three years, the Lancers of the Heluo New Army had become so terrifying, and the Zhenglan Banner Cavalry was completely suppressed , There is no room for fighting back!

Dad, you can't fight this battle!

If he can't fight, he has to fight. In order to rescue the infantry who are already in a hard battle, he has to charge again, try to defeat the cavalry, and then outflank the infantry of the Heluo New Army, otherwise he will wait to become a bare-handed commander.Mang Gurtai, who was unable to get off the tiger, bit the bullet and charged again, but this time the momentum was far inferior to just now. Even he didn't expect to be able to defeat the Lancers head-on. Take a chance!

So, can the cavalry on the right wing, mainly Guanning cavalry, take on the important task?

The answer is no.At the same time as they launched, Xue Siming personally led the 1.4 Huaisi cavalry deployed on the left wing and crashed into them like a whirlwind.Xue Siming rushed to the front, with an extra-long Miao knife that was [-] meters long and danced like a wheel. The body of the person who hit it was shattered. Wherever it went, blood and minced meat flew out on both sides. One person died, and two people died. A dead pair, like a murderous god coming to the world!With such a brave leader, the Huaisi cavalry naturally fought bravely to take the lead. Most of them have practiced martial arts since childhood, and their fighting skills on horseback and dismount are outstanding. They also suppressed the Guan Ning cavalry in terms of momentum. There is no suspense in this cavalry battle. up.The Huaisi cavalry used Xue Siming as a sharp knife to thrust into the formation of Guan Ning's cavalry. They fired at one place and everywhere. In just two back and forth, Guan Ning's cavalry couldn't stand it any longer. The general was the first to throw down his men and run away. As soon as they escaped, those Guan Ning cavalry Naturally, Ning Cavalry was not willing to lag behind, and they all collapsed with a crash.

After taking care of the Guan Ning cavalry, Xue Siming commanded the Huaisi cavalry to slam into the right rear wing of the Qing army's formation.By chance, Zhong Ning also defeated Mang Gurtai and commanded the Lancers to kill the left flank of the Qing army's formation.At this time, the infantry of the Qing army had recovered from the initial panic, and began to fight desperately outside, initially stabilizing the front line. As long as they are given a little more time, they will definitely be able to regroup, adjust their state, and turn this hand-to-hand battle into a tug-of-war war.However, the cavalry rushing over from the two wings completely shattered their hopes. Seeing the enemy cavalry surround them, and their own cavalry became bereaved dogs, the fierce Jurchen warrior collapsed in an instant!They have used the same tactics to defeat the Ming army in field battles more than once. Naturally, they knew what was waiting for them. The rearguard troops who were the first to be hit were the first to collapse. They threw down their weapons and armor and fled. , the entire phalanx collapsed, everyone was fleeing, and there were countless casualties under the trample on each other. The Heluo New Army left a narrow way for them to escape, and ruthlessly strangled them from three sides. The massacre ended Performed...

Mang Gurtai was injured, and was stabbed in the shoulder by a horse. The wound was deep enough to show the bones. He was protected by white armor soldiers and fled for several miles. Ready to fight again.It's just that this kind of effort is doomed to be in vain. The fighting will and courage of the cavalry of the Qing army have been crushed by the cavalry of the new Heluo army. They only want to escape and stay as far away from these terrible enemies as possible.Not many cavalry obeyed his orders, but many fled.The furious Manggurtai killed several people in a row, but still couldn't stop the rout. Then he saw the infantry defeated like a mountain, and the infantry and cavalry of the Heluo New Army pursued him closely. He closed his eyes in pain and hissed wildly. Called: "It's over, it's over!" He spat out in a puff, fell off his horse, and passed out.

The white armored soldiers helped him onto the horse, protected him and fled.As for the more than 2 infantry behind them, they threw them to the Heluo New Army. What awaited them would be a nightmare!
The massacre did not last long. Four hours later, the main force of the Zhenglan Banner ceased to exist. When Xue Siming ordered to stop, the corpses on the battlefield in Raoyang had already piled up into a mountain. Thousands of infantry and 2000 cavalry died on the battlefield, and more than [-] people became prisoners. Only Mang Gurtai led thousands of defeated soldiers to escape.

In this campaign, the Heluo New Army and Huaisi cavalry suffered less than [-] casualties!
