Lord of Ming Dynasty

Twelve-pounders bombarded the enemy's artillery in the distance, nine-pounders bombarded the enemy's following artillery and cavalry, six-pounders bombarded the enemy's new troops, and three-pounders bombarded the enemy's front infantry.

The Qing army braved the enemy's artillery fire to advance, and suffered heavy casualties along the way. The Huaxia army was not good, and the enemy's heavy artillery also made it difficult for the arquebus soldiers in the front line. The casualties increased sharply, one hundred, two hundred, three hundred, five hundred, eight One hundred, one thousand five six, the team at the front was bombarded to pieces.

Finally, the enemy's infantry approached 150 meters, and the general flags of the Huaxia Army began to shoot scatteredly. The infantry running in front of the Qing army fell to the ground one after another, and then the green battalion and civilian husbands that had been wiped out before, and the dead and wounded soldiers began to line up where the young and strong died. , collapsed before crossing 120 meters, turned and fled one after another.

With the examples of the green battalion, civilian husbands, and young adults, they have been scared out of their wits for a long time. Before, they had to bite the bullet and advance, and some small casualties were tolerable. Because the artillery is now all solid bullets, there are always some people who can’t take care of them. Arriving at the place, now the enemy's muskets are firing, and the soldiers at the front collapse immediately, because few people can really realize the original intention, and they can't get close to the Huaxia Army's queue at all.

With the front collapsed and the middle chaotic, it can be said that Oboi's cannon fodder cover plan has gone bankrupt.

Obai continued to approach to a distance of 200 meters. At this time, the naked eye could see the front of the battlefield clearly, and he quickly ordered the left and right cavalry to charge regardless.

The Han army flag and the cavalry of the green battalion who were still 300 meters behind were urging their horses to gallop. They knew that they could only survive if they rushed into the enemy ranks. Otherwise, even if they fled back, they would be slaughtered by the cavalry of the Qing army. .

Rush, rush, only by rushing into the ranks of the damned remnants of Ming Dynasty, causing chaos to the enemy, and winning this battle, can they survive.

It's time to serve the court, it's time to work hard, glory and wealth, promotion and fortune, honoring ancestors is what they consider.

Such a deadly assault and the determination to see death as home made them achieve great results. The cavalry smashed away their compatriots who fled to the two sides, stepped them on the ground, and then stepped on them from behind, and finally drove those clever people who tried to flee to the two sides to the ground. The Han people stepped on the meat and helped the Han army flag of the Chinese army stabilize the formation, so that the Han army flag supervisor team in the middle completed the task, and also made the Qing army achieve certain results when they assaulted the Huaxia army. The troops brought out the tragic hell area where the green battalion and civilian husbands died young and strong.

The soldiers of the new army who followed them followed them and stepped into the place where corpses piled up, blood flowed into rivers, and the land was dyed into a red swamp.

The Mongolian cavalry on the other side were also desperately advancing on their horses, rushing to the side of the Huaxia Army's artillery.

At this time, the front of the Huaxia Army was still being ravaged by the enemy's artillery fire. Under the support of the officers, the troops in front of the dead were on top of the back.

Just like Zhang Qiang saw on the Internet in later generations, the British Empire musketeers in the red leather bear hats of the British Empire gritted their teeth and resumed their formation amidst the fierce drumming, ensuring the continuity of the firepower output of the first row at the front. .

On the two wings, the rear, spearmen, sword shield soldiers, and archers advanced quickly, preparing to resist the enemy's cavalry attack at the front, and guarding against the enemy's infantry rushing in to ravage the arquebus soldiers on their own side. In terms of weapons, after all, matchlock guns are not as lethal as enemy infantry who are accustomed to broadswords, spears, long swords, and shields, and they still need the protection of cold weapons.

At 100 meters, the enemy's cavalry has already rushed to a distance of 100 meters. The Huaxia Army immediately bombarded this group of cavalry with artillery. The force of the enemy's impact.

This time, Oboi invested quite a lot of troops. The remnants of the green battalion, the soldiers of the Han army banner, the rest of the peasants and young adults totaled 1 troops. The firearms troops of the new army had [-] troops, in addition to the [-] matchlocks. Gunners, [-] artillery, [-] cavalry, plus the auxiliary troops sent up, [-] infantry cold-weapon hand-to-hand troops, this one is more than the strength of an overnumbered field brigade combat group of the Huaxia Army.

The sum of the two troops of the Huaxia Army is not as large as the enemy's input this time.

In fact, both Zhang Qiang and Xiao Fei knew that the Huaxia Army's central troops were actually the weak point, because the left and right wings were the field brigade super troops of Merlin Yu and Brother Zhu, and the middle was just dismounted dragoons plus some strengthened trained troops. The civilian husband musketeers, the total strength of the middle is no more than [-] troops.

The musketeers on the two wings are [-] musketeers plus [-] artillery brigades, [-] troops, a total of [-] troops. The rear is a cold weapon force composed of militia, [-] infantry, and more cavalry troops, [-] dragons The cavalry, chasseurs, and cavalry formed the second tier of the Huaxia army. Behind this, the Chinese army was Xiao Fei's [-] personal guards.

Finally, there is the militia unit of the supply unit, which has a brigade of 1 troops, and some organized young men and civilians. They are far away from the battlefield, four or five miles away.

There are three large camps in the rear, Xiao Fei's central camp is almost the sum of the supply troops, two thousand musketeers, two thousand militiamen, five hundred cavalry, Merlin Yu's left wing camp, three thousand militia troops, fifty cavalry, Brother Zhu's camp on the right wing consisted of [-] militia troops, plus [-] scout cavalry and [-] spear cavalry troops.

The cavalry of the Han Army Banner and the Green Battalion charged desperately, but the Huaxia Army's artillery and matchlock guns were unable to keep up with the enemy's firepower because the enemy moved too fast.

Seeing that his cavalry had reached a distance of 80 meters, Obai smiled knowingly, feeling proud. In front of the cavalry of the Qing army, the Huaxia Army also showed the disadvantage of insufficient firepower. He had studied these firearms long ago. Perhaps in terms of morale and discipline, these firearms troops of the Huaxia Army are higher than the Shenji Battalion troops of the Ming Army. They can fire coherently, and can persist in attacking opponents with firearms. But once a cavalry can rush in, the enemy can only fight hand-to-hand, hand-to-hand, who was the Qing army afraid of?

The trump card of the Qing army is the cannon fodder Han troops, as well as its brutality, bravery, and determination in hand-to-hand combat. It is not something that the Ming army can compete with. It will make the Huaxia army lose its distance advantage. He has known this method for a long time, and he just happened to try it out today.

Use the Han people and the flag Ding who are not your own flag, not your own side, the Manchu army of Emperor Shunzhi, and the Manchus of Dorgon's direct line to experiment. Anyway, if you die, you will be scolded at most, and you will win, Dorgon I won't do anything to myself either.

Zhang Qiang looked at the battlefield through the eyes of the war eagle, and he felt that the enemy's cavalry might rush into the artillery and arquebus formations on both wings.

This may be due to the terrain. The terrain is a hilly area with lush water plants. Some potholes and puddles will naturally divide the tight formation of the Huaxia Army, leaving gaps in firepower for the Huaxia Army. The pit is basically immune. With the speed and desperate counterattack, the Huaxia Army may suffer the biggest loss in these years.

Chapter 455 Meeting Obai 7

The cavalry team composed of the Green Battalion and the Han Army Banner that the Qing Army assaulted, under the firepower of the Huaxia Army, marched forward, paid huge casualties, and crashed into the Musketeers team at the forefront of the Huaxia Army. When the enemy was no longer able to stop them, the nearest teams quickly formed a circular square formation of hundreds of households.

Just like what the Nanming army used to do, the cold weapon troops who had already run forward quickly took over the outer line of defense, using spears and shields to form a circular defense shell to protect the arquebus soldiers, and some of them had no time to form a circular defense shell. After paying a lot of casualties, the team in the square formation fought on their own, in groups of three and five, armed with bayonets, and formed small circular formations one by one at the front of the position. Facing the enemy's cavalry, they fought bravely without fear. .

After all, the cavalry assault of the Qing army was small. After paying huge casualties, there were not many Qing cavalry who could rush to the front line, about a few hundred. Quickly let go of the soldiers from the first phalanx who had escaped, then closed their formation, rushed forward quickly, and used bayonets to fight off the stragglers who came over from the enemy's assault, and established a line of defense in front of the first phalanx.

Cut off the return of the Han army flag cavalry.

The rear cannon quickly adjusted its angle to block the cavalry attacking behind the enemy, and the enemy cavalry could not follow up at all, forming a breakthrough.

After all, this is the Huaxia Army, not the Nanming Army. Even if the Huaxia Army is a militia unit, it is also very capable of hand-to-hand combat. The phalanx quickly regained its combat effectiveness.

On the other side, Brother Zhu quickly adjusted his deployment, and sent spearmen, sword shield soldiers, and archers behind the arquebus soldiers to block the surprise attack of the Qing cavalry here. The Mongols are not good at direct collisions, and they still use their previous methods The old tactics, rushed to the front, then quickly turned around and turned towards the diagonal direction, while attacking the Huaxia Army's arquebus troops with their good harassment shots.

In this way, they might as well regard death as at home. The green battalion and Han flag cavalry who have no way to retreat have achieved high results. They are constantly being dismounted, and the shotguns fired by the six-pound gun make them fall in pieces. The matchlock soldiers feel Dangerous, the firing speed has been accelerated to push their potential, the reloading speed is also faster, and the firepower is more intensive.

Besides, after rushing to a distance of 30 meters, the Chinese archers behind can shoot from a distance. They just stand ten meters behind the arquebus gunners. At this distance, 40 meters, good players can shoot directly, and bad players can shoot. In the cavalry team, even if the enemy cannot be killed, the enemy can be injured, or lose combat effectiveness and fall off the horse.

The cavalry of the Chinese Army, the Han Army Banner and the Qing Army rushed to a distance of 50 meters. The Han Army Banner cavalry continued to charge. Certain casualties, and the enemy shoot.

The enemy's bows and arrows are messy, and the Huaxia Army's matchlock guns are row by row, firing in salvo in the form of hundreds of households. Although it is not as fast and accurate as the Qing Army, it has the effect of killing and injuring the enemy at once. But it is very powerful, and the shock to the enemy's soul is far more shocking than the heavy damage caused by the Qing army's heavy bow to the Huaxia army's matchlock gunners.

No one thought that the first large-scale collision between the Huaxia Army and the Qing Army after a year had passed. The Qing Army could use cold weapons and arquebus troops to beat the Huaxia Army into a panic. lost heavily.

This is something that Zhang Qiang did not expect. Fortunately, the heavy losses in front will not affect Xiao Fei of the Chinese army in the rear. Xiao Fei is still calmly dispatching the army.

The artillery continued to retreat, three of the six artillery fired, and the three continued to retreat, looking for a high ground to re-establish the artillery position, some artillery moved to the high ground in front of the Chinese army, and then used indirect fire to form an intercepting fire behind the enemy.

The 500-pound artillery is even used for long-range shooting at the Chinese army that is not activated behind the enemy. At a distance of 5 meters, the [-]-pound artillery may not be able to hit a person, a cannon, or a small phalanx of hundreds of people, but it can hit The large frontal queue of [-] people is still very fierce.

The heavy artillery that was allocated focused on taking care of the enemy's artillery positions, which did not cause a small loss to the frontline soldiers of the Huaxia Army. The Qing army used cannon fodder soldiers. They would not pity those frontline soldiers and bombed them indiscriminately.

The Huaxia Army deployed troops with cold weapons to attack the enemy's cavalry rushing into formation and the dismounted infantry of the Qing Army. After an hour of fighting, the [-] high-level cannon fodder troops sent by the Qing Army were finally repelled.

The cavalry fled, and the infantry was chased, surrounded, and annihilated by spearmen and sword and shield soldiers. The arquebus line was reorganized, and the militiamen followed up, and quickly transported the corpses and wounded to the rear for settlement.

The battle lasted for three hours. From morning to afternoon, the Qing army was defeated. More than 5000 to 1 soldiers were killed. More than 8000 soldiers were killed. More than 4000 people were injured and could not walk on the battlefield. They were slightly injured and captured. More than 3000 people, more than 4 people were missing, more than [-] people fled, and more than [-] troops evaporated.

Only [-] or [-] troops fled back.

The cannon fodder troops of the Qing army were basically wiped out, the junior cannon fodder died completely, the intermediate cannon fodder green battalion and Han army banner cavalry, Han army banner soldiers, and soldiers of the new army were mostly killed or captured, or fled. Few, high-level cannon fodder, half of the Qing cavalry and Qing infantry were annihilated, half were captured, and most fled back.

On the Huaxia Army's side, 4000 people were killed, 4000 were seriously injured, and 2000 were slightly injured. Basically, a guard brigade was defeated.

The dead were the arquebus soldiers on the front line, the seriously injured were the cold weapon troops who followed up to block the enemy cavalry, and the artillery and some cavalry were slightly injured.

In this battle, Zhang Qiang knew that Aobai really deserved to be the number one warrior of the Qing Dynasty, and the combat effectiveness of his troops should not be underestimated.

After nearly half of his troops were lost, Obai quickly withdrew his troops. Although he still kept more than 4 of his original troops and more than 1 of those who had fled back, he was relentless in fighting, and quickly left those cannon fodder, bringing with him Then the headquarters and horses withdrew to the county seat.

The Huaxia Army suffered heavy losses, and they did not dare to pursue rashly. They cleaned up the battlefield, transferred the wounded, and then withdrew to a county town behind, resting and reorganizing before attacking.

In this battle, Xiao Fei did not join the cavalry units of the Chinese army and the two super field brigades, but only used cold weapons, arquebus units, and artillery brigades to fight, and wiped out the enemy's cannon fodder units. After the battle, he stayed Brother Zhu led the whole army, assisted by Mei Linyu, and led the guards back to Changsha Mansion overnight to report to Zhang Qiang.

Zhang Qiang knew the situation on the battlefield long ago, but he still pretended not to know. He couldn't tell Xiao Fei that I had a fantasy-like war eagle that surpassed your knowledge system watching the battlefield for me in mid-air.

Chapter 456 Meeting Obai 8

This battle let Zhang Qiang know that with these [-] troops, he could not achieve his strategic goal, so he had to deploy troops from the rear.

Let the No.20 Third Field Brigade be transferred to Jiujiang Mansion, the Seventh Field Brigade to be transferred to Xiao Fei's command, the 22nd Field Brigade to be transferred to the front line to strengthen Wei Wuji's troops, and the Second Guards Brigade to be transferred to Jinhua Mansion to sit in Jinhua Mansion , Ma Han's 8rd Cavalry Brigade was transferred back to Xianju County for defense, the [-]th Field Brigade was transferred to Nanchang Prefecture, and the [-]th Field Brigade was transferred to Raozhou Prefecture.
