Lord of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 5 and Three

Afterwards, Duolong entered the arena with his troops, and Babutai also with his troops. The two troops were lined up about 200 meters behind Ma Bao's central army.

The general led his personal guards to the high hill overlooking the battlefield. Their troops were divided by the terrain, Ma Bao's troops in the open area and the Xinjun Town troops in front were separated by hills, small rivers, small ravines, and several small forests.

As soon as Duolong arrived as the main general, Ma Bao, several generals from Xinjun Town and Babutai ran towards his army one after another, and met Duolong on the hill where Duolong was. Doron makes tactical arrangements.

Duolong has seen the power of the firearms troops of the Huaxia Army, which is why he led the army to hide behind the army, so that he can escape.

Although Babutai had also seen the strength of Hong Chengchou's new army, he still didn't take it seriously. He was a proud Manchu of the Qing army, and he still believed that his Manchu army could beat the enemy.

When they went to meet the coach, the town signs of the new army where Wang Neng was located had already been lined up.

On their left is the artillery unit of Xinjun Town, equipped with imitation Chinese army three-pound guns, four-pounder guns, six-pounder guns, nine-pounder guns, ten-pounder guns, twelve-pounder guns, and eighteen-pounder guns The artillery units are bloated and messy .

Under the protection of a team of 4000-man Green Battalion, half of the nearly [-]-man artillery force was allocated to Wang Neng's side. This is what the Qing Army and the Qing Army and the Huaxia Army learned, but they are different from the Huaxia Army. Artillery The troops will be gathered together, which is said to be more advanced, but they have even gathered small artillery, which is a bit too much.

Behind Wang Neng's infantry mark is Babutai's Qing army, responsible for monitoring them and taking on the responsibility of supervising the battle team. At the same time, if they lose or need it, these Qing troops will rush to kill them. enemy.

No one saw that there were more than a dozen people among Wang Neng's personal soldiers. At the beginning of the war, these dozens of people were scattered in the matchlock battalion that could be controlled. His complexion became different, with these nervousness, his eyes wandering, but because the Huaxia Army has been planning for a long time, the degree of control of this mark is quite high. In addition to holding a cold weapon, a team of 500 people imitating the Huaxia Army is pinned to his waist. The Qing army's surveillance troops and the other 500 arquebus battalion soldiers are all Huaxia troops controlled by Wang Neng.

Wang Neng looked at a soldier beside him, who was actually an intelligence officer of the Huaxia Army's Military Intelligence Operation Team, "What does the governor want us to do?"

The intelligence officer who pretended to be his own soldier said: "Moving the camera, without revealing your identity of the Huaxia Army, you will turn your back on the battlefield and help the Dashun Army's Loyalty Camp to defeat the enemy and eat up the enemy's new army. After success, lurk in the Dashun Army and wait for orders. The minister asks you to protect yourself. You can compromise for a while, but don’t resist the Dashun Army impulsively. The time has not come, so you can’t sacrifice or strangle the Dashun Army easily. Their existence It is good for the Huaxia Army, and this is also the command of the governor."

"The king can obey."

At this time, Ma Bao and other generals had returned to the various armies from Duolong's central army, and the various armies had basically reached their battle positions and were ready to attack at any time.

Zhang Qiang's war eagle has been observing the sky above the battlefield for more than an hour. The war eagle is not yet classified as a tangible eagle, so the enemy still cannot see it. The entire battlefield has a panoramic view.

The Warhawk's direct field of vision that can be monitored has reached [-] kilometers, and the peripheral field of vision has also reached [-] kilometers. The time spent in the air is longer, but it consumes more mental power.

He is not optimistic about the current war, but he can only pray that the Gaoyi Department can last longer, and wait for the king to find time to launch and annihilate this new army that Hong Chengchou has placed high hopes on once and for all. According to the news from intelligence personnel, a new army town is equipped with the best equipment that the new army under Hong Chengchou can equip. It is also the first Xinjun town unit established by the Qing army. The people of the Ming Dynasty, who are mainly young and strong, can be said to be more pure and effective than other troops of the Qing Army that have been in the customs for more than ten years. This time they beat them, and after gathering them, they can increase the strength of the Huaxia Army.

Suddenly he saw Babutai's Qing army move. They passed Wang Neng's Xinjunzhen troops and rushed towards Gao Yigong's secondary field brigade.

This is surprising. Everyone knows that this is a battle between two new army units, but Babutai actually rushed towards the enemy's new army unit. Is there something wrong with his brain?

On the other side, the Qing troops controlled by Duolong also suddenly appeared on Gao Yigong's left flank, but instead of attacking Gao Yigong's left flank, they quickly used the mobility of the cavalry to rush towards Liu Guoxuan's troops three miles away.

At this point, Zhang Qiang understands that this is the cunning of Duolong and Babutai. They don't want to fight tough battles with you, they want to hurt your morale.

Duolong had fought against the field brigade of the Huaxia Army. He must have seen that the secondary field brigade could not resist Babutai's Qing army because of low morale and poor equipment. As for the elite field brigade Let Ma Bao's new army clean up the troops. They want to quickly defeat this army, and then continue to march towards the hinterland of the Zhongzhen Camp of the Dashun Army.

This is Zhang Qiang's conjecture.

Where did Gao Yigong feel like a dead dog? While scolding the enemy for not playing cards according to common sense, he quickly dispatched his cavalry troops to chase Duolong's troops. He didn't want Liu Guoxuan's [-] remnants to be defeated again. He wanted these cavalry to block the enemy for a while, and then his central army returned to destroy Duolong's Qing army, which was not many.

At the same time, he quickly ordered two field brigades to meet the enemy's new army and wait for the main force to turn around.

He quickly ordered the mobilization of the army, and the opponent's Xinjun Town also moved.

The two arquebus spears quickly approached the elite field brigade troops of the Dashun Army, while the cavalry and artillery marks followed, and Ma Bao's Han army flag followed.

Wang Neng's arquebus spears and flanking artillery of [-] troops followed and marched towards the Secondary Field Brigade of the Dashun Army.

Now Wang Neng is also confused, he hasn't communicated with Dashun Army yet, should he fight or not?

He looked at the team leader of the intelligence agent, and the intelligence agent whispered: "Stay still, let's give them a surprise."

No one saw that the new military standard led by Wang Neng stood still.

The battlefield is already in chaos.

Only the war eagle looking down from high above can show Zhang Qiang this situation.

Although the enemy rushed forward bravely and every soldier of the Dashun Army was terrified, they still prepared to fight according to the orders of the officers at all levels.

The artillery placed in the secondary field brigade fired one after another, and dozens of shells enveloped the land from 600 meters to 30 meters in front of the battlefield.

The rapid impact of Babutai's Qing cavalry did not dodge such dense shells.

Chapter 5 and Four Hands-on

Facing the Qing army rushing up in a swarm, the Dashun army was fooled, and they could only fight indiscriminately, fighting on their own.

But Ma Bao suddenly discovered that his cannon could not fire. What's the matter? At this time, the cannons of the Qing army did not have indirect shooting skills, they were all direct fire. Now Babutai's Qing army rushed up, and the Qing army artillery behind him Then you can't fire.

Either the cannon shells hit his own people, so Ma Bao didn't order the artillery to attack the Dashun army, and the Dashun army escaped the time of being ravaged by the cannon, or else, with a high-level mind, Dashun The morale of the army, the cannons of the Qing army and the new army, which were better equipped than them, were ravaged, and it would be a matter of time before they collapsed, but they still had a certain degree of confidence in melee combat.

Because there are thousands of these soldiers who are veterans of hundreds of battles, and the other soldiers are not veterans who have never seen fighting at the beginning. Everyone knows that if you don't fight for a while, turn around and run, the fastest to die is They, unlike recruits, know when they have to fight and when they can turn and run.

This is much more experienced than the recruits from Xinjun Town of the Qing Army who have not experienced the war.

Babutai's Qing troops withstood the blow from the artillery of the Dashun Army, rushed across the battlefield at a distance of 600 meters, and reached a distance of 100 meters in a blink of an eye.

Although the soldiers of the Dashun Army panicked, they had experience.

After the training, there was a supervising team in charge, and soon crackling shots were fired.

The cavalry of the Qing army fell down like dumplings, and then the infantry behind them were still 300 meters away, and the cannons continued to shoot into their ranks without hindrance.

Babutai's Qing soldiers had never experienced artillery fire, and thought they were still the Ming army before. They just wanted to get in front of the enemy, waited for the enemy to collapse, and then swarmed up. As a result, they suffered heavy losses. When they approached 60 meters, they could also open fire. Bows and arrows have been shot, and two or three hundred soldiers have been lost.

Over there, Ma Bao's artillery can fire, because Doron's troops have gone around from the other side. They hit the field brigade on the flank, then went around the field brigade, and collided with Gao Yigong's cavalry .

The cavalry on both sides chased and killed wantonly among the hills, between the mountains, on the plains, and in the woods, while the infantry charged while bypassing the field brigade and charged to the rear.

Gao Yigong mobilized infantry troops to rush over to block the attack of the Qing army. It looked invincible, but it was advantageous to block the enemy's attack and bought time for Liu Guoxuan's troops to escape. Of course, Gao Yigong would not let him escape. Yes, he had already set up his formation and approached his central army. He wanted to rely on the strength of the central army to block the enemy's attack.

Due to the terrain, the artillery of the Chinese army has already fired three times at the charging Duolong infantry. The Qing infantry of Duolong killed or injured 300 people.

However, the fighting power of the Qing soldiers was tenacious and powerful after all, and such casualties could not make them collapse at all. At most, their morale was low and they were a little flustered.

Next, Ma Bao's two arquebus spears faced the elite Dashun Army's arquebus battalion, which was the real battle.

Since there was no Qing army infantry in the middle of the two sides at this time, the Qing army artillery on the other side could fire, and directly hit the shells into the middle army of the Dashun army, without going to the matchlock battalion.

Faced with the enemy's preferential treatment, the two matchlock guns of the Dashun Army were not polite, and directly used the artillery in their own battalion to hit the enemy in front of them.

At a distance of 500 meters, the two targets of the Qing army, with a force of 6000 troops, were bombarded by dozens of shells, and the formation became scattered. This was the first time they fought against the enemy's arquebus troops, and they couldn't help opening fire. , fired randomly, at a distance of 500 meters, even the fast-running battalion could not let the bullets fly more than 300 meters and hit the Dashun army.

The Dashun army fought for a long time and found that the situation was actually favorable to them. The enemy suffered more losses than their own. They couldn't help but boosted their morale, stabilized, and shot more smoothly. When the enemy entered a distance of 150 meters, there were already sporadic attacks. The bullets hit the ranks of the Qing army through a salvo.

However, after all, a field brigade with more than 3000 matchlock guns attacked the enemy. The enemy had nearly [-] matchlock guns, and there were cavalry and infantry behind him. The strength of the field brigade was not dominant, and the enemy soon lost two to three hundred troops. After that, they rushed to the range, and the two sides started the most brutal scene of platooning guns and shooting each other.

Of course, the one with more firearms has the upper hand. After one round, the Dashun Army fell 300 people. The enemy continued to advance, ten meters, 20 meters, and the distance was close to 100 meters. The Dashun Army organized in a panic. With a salvo, the Qing army immediately fell 300 people.
