Chapter 120 Fierce Battle

The commander of Zhengbai Banner, Mr. Tan, brought three banners, a total of fifteen Niulu, plus a thousand coats. After Jue Yongguan divided his troops, he went east and ran towards Huairou along the official road.

A Niulu under Tan Tailing was dragged to the end. One was to protect a thousand coats, and the other was to guard against the Ming army's raid on the back. He himself led the four Niulu from the banner as the vanguard and walked in front of the entire brigade. The one with the blue flag and two red flags was a Niulu located in the central army, about three miles apart from front to back.

Mrs. Tan was taciturn by nature, brave and fierce in fighting against the enemy, and was a playmate of Ajige when he was young. At the age of fifteen, he followed Nurhaci to fight around with Ajige and saved Ajige's life several times, which was deeply trusted by Ajige.

After Ajige became the lord of Zhengbai Banner, he promoted his friend to Melezhangjing and commanded ten of his twenty-five Niulu, which shows his reliance on Mrs. Tan.

The hour of the year has passed, and the scorching sun is scorching the earth. The army has traveled thirty miles eastward, and the soldiers and war horses are already tired. The chariots and loads behind are complaining even more. Mrs. Tan still silently and continues to lead the army forward. The soldiers are very fast. Since the prince ordered himself to divide his troops to loot, some hard work is nothing. The Eight Banners children are not the kind of soft eggs like the Ming army who cannot bear hardship.

The official road from Juyong Pass to Huairou is quite spacious and can accommodate three riders in parallel. The north side of the official road is close to the rolling mountains, and the south side is an open and flat land. The Qing army's horse exploration has already gone thirty miles forward, and people have also sent people to investigate the mountains and forests on the north side. After confirming safety, the rear team showed confidence to pass.

The entire army marched about ten miles, only a few dozen miles away from Huairou.

The news has not been heard from Tan Ma for a while. The intuition of many years of war reminded Mrs. Tan that the situation was a bit wrong.

The Qing army's horses were all elite in a hundred battles. The horses that were spread out were white cavalry, including five Baibayala, each of which was a hundred enemy.

It is no exaggeration to say that the five Baibayalas can not fall behind against one hundred cavalrymen. These are treasures in the flag. Among the twenty-five Niulus of the Zhengbai Banner, there are only more than two hundred Baibayalas. This time on the expedition, Ajige brought out more than a hundred Baibayalas and more than ten Tan Tai tribes.

According to the military rules of the Qing army, the provocation horses ran forward and backward, and while resting their horsepower, they kept reporting the situation ahead to the main generals. Those who were lazy could kill them. It was the strict military discipline that made the Qing army strong and stood strong. According to common sense, there should be two groups of provocation horses who reported it, but they have not seen a wave now, which is something that has never happened before.

Could something happen to the five Baibayala whistle detectives who were pressing the formation? It is impossible, but why did the detectives not report back and forth for so long?

At this time, the army happened to pass through a forest. Mrs. Tan was about to send someone to check forward, but suddenly she felt her hair standing up and she felt like she was being targeted by a beast. He immediately shouted: "There is an enemy! Go forward!"

After saying that, he pounded his legs hard on the horse's belly, his body was lowered, and the war horse suddenly rushed forward.

When the Qing army heard the warning from the general, before they could react, countless long arrows flew out in the dense forest on the north side with whistling sounds. The Qing army riding on the horse was caught and fell off the horse.

Although Mrs. Tan reacted very quickly, her left rib was still shot by a bow and arrow. Fortunately, she was blocked by the armor and did not go deep into the flesh. However, the war horse was also shot by several arrows. After running forward for several steps, she fell to the ground with a roar. The moment when Mrs. Tan fell to the ground, her legs were pressed and her feet quickly left the stirrups, rolled to the right, and then rolled several times after landing. Then she pounced on the fallen war horse. While hiding behind, she took out the longbow from the horse. He picked up several bows and arrows scattered on the ground, crouched on the ground and shot into the forest.

After more than a hundred Qing troops were caught in the horse, the other Qing troops were not panicked. At this time, whether it was driving the horse forward or going to the other side, it was not the best choice, because the horse speed was not raised, and the target was larger when riding on the horse, and it was easier to be shot by bows and arrows. Before the second wave of arrow rain in the forest arrived, all the Qing troops who had not been caught had quickly dismounted, hid behind the war horses, either shielded with shields, or took bows and arrows to fight back. All of this was done in a few breaths, and it has to be said that the Qing army is worthy of being a powerful soldier in a hundred battles.

Due to the wide view of the Jingji area, it can be seen far away without any obstruction in the front. The Qing army in the back team, with blue and red and three flags, found that there was something different in the situation ahead, and immediately drove the horse under the leadership of the main general.

Under Changping City, the Qing army's shield chariots gradually approached the Ming army's gunman formation. The gunners at the top of the city were busy resetting the cannon, then cleaning the cannon chamber, filling it with huǒ    yào, and carrying the projectiles. Although the Red Cannon is powerful, the firing interval is too long. After the first cannon, because of the recoil, the cannon will be shaken away from the original cannon position, and more than a dozen people will work together to reset it, which takes hundreds of breaths {about three minutes}.

When there were more than a hundred steps away from the Ming army formation, with a command, the coats shouted and pushed the shield cart to speed up and rushed forward. As long as they rushed for dozens of steps, the archers following behind could reach the shooting position. The Qing army's heavy arrows could penetrate armor in fifty steps. As long as the bows and arrows were covered, the Ming army's gunmen formation would be chaotic due to continuous casualties. The heavy armored soldiers behind immediately rushed into the opponent's formation and slashed to both sides, leaving a passage for the cavalry behind to attack the front.

More than a hundred coats in the front row pushed dozens of shield cars forward. Just as they rushed to seventy steps from the Ming army formation, a series of bào     zhà sounds sounded, and dust filled the air, gunpowder smoke rose, the shield cart fell, and the broken limbs and broken arms flew around.

It turned out that Sun Yingyuan had already sent people to plant a large area of ​​landmines here, in order to surprise the Eight Banners Cavalry charge. Unexpectedly, the Qing army sent out shield chariots first, and the unlucky ones were the Han people who were coated.

The dozens of shield trucks and carts in the front row were seriously injured. Each mine was filled with sharp objects such as broken porcelain pieces and iron pieces. As the mine shell was bào     zhà zhà zhà zhà zhà zhà zhà zhà zhà zhà zhà zhà zhà zhà zhà zhà zhà zhà zhà zhà zhà zhà zhà zhà zhà zhà zhà zhà                                                                                                                                                               

Abatai, who was in the back formation, had suffered twice before he could join the enemy. This feeling of aggrievance made him irritated and made him feel angry. The feeling of being beaten by passively is something he had never been before. He was here to rob, not be beaten!

He shouted loudly to continue the attack of the remaining shield chariots, and the archer followed closely. As long as he entered within sixty steps, the Ming army would not be able to withstand the continuous shooting of heavy arrows. As for the life and death of the coats, he didn't care at all. A group of Han dogs would die if they died, wasting food. Wherever the Eight Banners Army went, the Han people would have as many two-legged sheep as they had.

After Xitku led his men forward and killed several people in a row, the coats were desperately shouting that they would push the cart to bypass the corpse and the injured in front and rushed forward. On the one hand, they would not rush and be killed directly, while on the other hand, they might be able to survive, so they could only bet.

After another series of bào     zhà, the only dozens of remaining shield cars finally advanced to about fifty steps of the Ming army, and no mines exploded. With the sound of a horn, the remaining coats turned around and ran to the back as if they heard the sound of fairy. As long as the shield cars were parked there, the Qing army archers could use the shield cars to drive the bow and shoot arrows, and the coats' mission was completed.

More than a thousand archers of the Qing army rushed forward, and within twenty steps, they could reach the back of the shield car, and then the Ming army standing on the opposite side could taste the power of the Eight Banners heavy arrows. As for the power of the Ming army's muskets, the Qing army had already experienced it many times. Not to mention the near range, the hit rate was extremely low. When the Ming army saw the Qing army rushing, they panicked and fired the muskets without regard for orders. Only by gathering fire can the smoothbore guns have greater lethality. If a single shot is to hit the enemy on the opposite side, it is more difficult than winning the lottery.

At this moment, a sharp and harsh horn sounded, and a bean-like sound, the Ming army's musket fired.

The Qing army's archers were secretly happy. The Ming army was still the same and started firing guns from such a distance. As long as they finished shooting this gun, the archers could get in place and shoot several rounds of arrows before they could load them again. Then the Ming army began to collapse, and the armored soldiers followed up to assault. The Ming army was completely in chaos. The cavalry charged and the entire Ming army was defeated. These were all common routines.

As the smoke of gunfire rose in front of the Ming army's musket formation, more than a hundred Qing army archers rushing in front suddenly broke back as if they were hit by heavy hammers, and fell to the ground straight like a tree cut by a giant axe. Although many of the guns shot out by the 800 muskets were blocked by shield chariots, most of the guns still crossed the shield chariot and shot forward. The first wave of hit rate of about 20% caused casualties of more than 100 Qing army archers.

After the first row of gunmen shot, they squatted down on the spot so that they could expose their vision to the back row of gunmen. Then they used their sticks to clean up the residue in the gun hall and began preparing for the second shooting.

The Qing army archers were shocked and still accelerated forward. Those who were hit by the musket were just unlucky guys. There were not people who were killed by the musket before, but there seemed to be a lot of unlucky guys this time.

The smoke in front of the Ming army's formation had not yet dissipated, and the second wave of muskets had already started.

As the first wave of guns had almost all the signs on the shield cart, the second wave of guns shot over without any obstacles, and blood mist rose from the group of Qing army archers. Within sixty steps, the cotton armor had no defense ability to the gun. The lead that was rotating at high speed broke through the Qing army's cotton armor and drilled into the body. The soft lead was unable to break out of the body and rolled and stirred around the human body until the kinetic energy completely decayed before stopping. At this time, the internal organs of the person who was shot were stirred up.

At this time, the cannons at the top of the city were finally ready and were waiting for Sun Yingyuan's instructions to launch at any time.

With the first round of four rows of muskets in the Ming army, there were no Qing army standing within seventy steps in front of the formation.

This round of more than 3,000 guns caused a total of nearly 600 Qing army archers' casualties, which was a devastating blow to the one thousand Qing army.

Abatai stopped the Qing army's charge in time. Although the first row of the Ming army had not been loaded, the two spear formations had moved forward and were ready to fight with the subsequent Qing army at any time. Looking at the Ming army's spear more than ten feet long, the sharp spear tip flashed with cold light, Abatai gave up the idea of ​​taking the opportunity to attack.

When the first round of guns rang out, the Han army flag commanded by Yangguli had broken through the nearly forty-step horse-rejecting formation, and only more than twenty steps were left to completely clear out these horse-rejecting horses.

When the one hundred grenadiers of the Ming army arrived, Yangguli didn't take it seriously. He felt strange that the number of Ming soldiers coming to aid was so small and had no weapons. Should he come up to fight with others?

While the grenadiers were blew the fire and lit the thunderous fuse, the Qing soldiers were still struggling to break the thunder. The Ming army archers who threatened them the most had retreated to the side due to exhaustion. Most of the Qing army were just glanced out of the corner of their eyes and ignored it. Do they smashed people with black iron blocks in their hands? It would definitely hurt if they were hit, but as long as they were not hit in the head, it would not be fatal. The Qing army thought so in their hearts.

A hundred black iron lumps were thrown over, hitting some Qing troops and then landing on the ground. A thunderclap was thrown by a powerful Ming army to Yangguli.

The Qing army, who was hit, endured the pain and ignored it and continued to work hard to demolish it. A Qing army was hit in pain. When they saw the iron lumps that were still smoking at their feet, they were angry and kicked them up.

First there was a loud "boom", then there were continuous explosions. The thunder that landed was basically all bào     zhà, iron nails shattered porcelain everywhere, the sound of the Qing army was covered by the sound of bào    zhà, and it was directly shattered by the torso of the head of the Qing army in the bomb. For a moment, countless limbs and organs flew up, and when the smoke and dust disappeared, the ground was in a mess. The bodies and wounded of the Qing army were everywhere, and everyone in the center had their faces blackened, blood and brain plasma, and colorful intestines were scattered all around.

bào      The Qing army outside the range was already shocked by this sudden blow. Many of the Qing army's ears were deafened by the loud sounds, and everyone stood still, because almost everyone had never seen this way. Many soldiers from this group of Han army flag looked up at the sky, thinking that this was caused by the thunderbolt from heaven.

Suddenly someone in the Qing army shouted: "The prince is dead!"

This shout woke everyone on the field, and the remaining Qing troops became panicked.

There are broken limbs and broken arms everywhere, so where can anyone be intact? Where can I find the body of the prince?
