Chapter 402: Surround yourself, don't let anyone go
Chapter 402: Surrounding one, don't let go
The volley of fire guns after the cannons completely destroyed the last madness of the Manchu and Mongolian army. This is the hell of firearms. These barbarians from outside the pass and on the grasslands suddenly discovered that this world also had the power to conquer with swords and barbaric. No matter how crazy they were or how eager they were to fight, they were powerless.
After repeated attacks, more than 20,000 Manchu and Mongolian troops were left, but now only 10,000 were slightly above the top. The Mongolian scattered soldiers who were driven forward were all killed by muskets and cannons.
The only remaining is the power of the Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners. According to priority, the Manchu Eight Banners' status is naturally higher than that of the Mongolian Eight Banners. When Abatai arranged the formation just now, the Manchu Eight Banners were also allowed to be the Manchu Eight Banners behind and the Mongolian Eight Banners in the front. At critical moments, the Mongolian Eight Banners can be used like Mongolian scattered soldiers.
Since the horse bandit Wunage on the grassland led some herders and horse bandits on the grassland to seek Nurhaci outside the pass, the Eight Mongolian Banners have always existed as second-class people outside the pass. Their status is higher than that of the Han people and those herders who are meticulous on the grassland.
But at this time, their real status in the armed robber group of Eight Banners outside the Pass was exposed, and they were just cannon fodder.
The situation is at a time of tension, and the Eight Banners of the Mongolian are no more than the Mongolian scattered soldiers who are scared out of their courage. These Mongolian cavalry are equal to the light cavalry, and they have also developed the wildness and fighting intention in military training outside the pass. In other words, they may not be the ones who are willing to die.
Seeing the Man Eight Banners team staring at the swords and swords, the leader of the Meng Eight Banners in front also shouted loudly. When the Man Eight Banners and the Meng Eight Banners were driving away from behind, they ran very slowly. If they wanted to adjust and confront each other, they would move very quickly. When the cannons and muskets of Jiaozhou Camp fired the ground.
The front team of the Eight Banners of Mongolia has been affected, and everyone knows that going forward is seeking death. No one is willing to take the initiative to go forward and rush forward.
General Abatai was ordered to look cold, and he used his hand to tie the last loose buckle of the leather pocket of the pointed helmet. Yue Le had already pulled out the big knife from the side of the saddle.
Before there was any internal strife, the Mongolian scattered soldiers in front had completely collapsed. These collapsed Mongolian herders had completely lost their minds, and it was probably the same for their mounts.
They were driven away and continued to move forward, but there was death ahead. They had been destroyed by the muskets and muskets on the opposite side. The ones within the range were destroyed by their bodies, and the ones outside the range were destroyed by their spirits.
These Mongolian herders could go anywhere, but they didn't dare to go to the places where the Ming army was covered with muskets and cannons. Other places were actually dead, but they would rather go to other places to die than crash into the storm of iron and fire.
Many people's spirits have actually collapsed. They are randomly controlling the horses. Apart from the second array of ground firearms, they can go anywhere.
Unfortunately, in the other three directions, Jiaozhou Camp soldiers who are also fully alert, no matter where they run, the only thing waiting for them is death.
Moreover, the direction of their escape was mostly in the rear, and artillery and muskets had already sparsely formed the formation of Mongolian scattered soldiers and could turn.
A distance of 200 steps cannot squeeze out 20,000 troops. In fact, the entire Manchu and Mongolian cavalry brigade was divided into two parts to wrap the first front, with the Mongolian scattered soldiers and the vanguard of the Mongolian Eight Banners facing the second front of Jiaozhou Camp in front, and the two separate flanks were opposite to the flanks of the first front.
If you look down from the sky, the entire array seems to be intertwined, but in fact, the musket soldiers in the gap between the spear formations of the first front are rushing out in large numbers.
The flanks and rear of the Manchu and Mongolian soldiers were harassed and attacked by the First Front musket soldiers, but the firepower was relatively limited at this time. After all, the density and killing of the musket shooting in the gap between the phalanx are also extremely limited. It can only play a harassing role, and now it is time to attack in a row.
The Mongolian scattered soldiers rushing towards the back finally broke out. At this time, the barbaric land of the Eight Banners of Manchu and Mongolia and the accumulation of power on the grassland were gone. Anyone who blocked their escape route would call the swords in their hands without hesitation. At this time, the Eight Banners of Manchu and Mongolia were still confronting each other.
The main focus was not on these Mongolian scattered soldiers who were driven by others. At this time, they were suddenly overwhelmed and were overwhelmed.
This was just a trouble for them. The musketeers of the first line began to line up on the back of the line, forming horizontal lines, and began to make simple alignments.
After a volley of fire, the second musket soldiers from the Jiaozhou camp front nervously loaded the ammunition and prepared to shoot.
"Fifteen steps forward!!"
The order was passed down in sequence. After the musket soldiers were aligned, they walked out in big strides, crossed the cannon array, and lined up again. The general commander estimated the distance and ordered again, and loudly ordered:
"Twenty steps forward and shoot freely!!"
This distance is a cautious estimate. If you continue to move forward, the flying stray bullets are likely to hurt the comrades in the first line.
The order of General Abatai was completely gone at this time, and immediately shouted loudly to the opposite Mongolian Baqi Zuoreng Daruhua:
"A bastard, take the people forward quickly. If you don't rush, there is no way out..."
Daluhua might have to go back with sarcasm, or yell and scold him, but this brief chaos was immediately completely covered by the sound of muskets sounding from both sides.
The musket soldiers arrays of the first and second lines have begun to fire freely. The two rows of musket soldiers are less than 200 steps away, but between them is the Manchu and Mongolian army as a barrier. Two rows of nearly 6,000 muskets are fired together.
The Tartar army, which was about to fight in internal conflict, was shot in a mess by the muskets on both sides, and the whole person was in a mess.
The Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners Cavalry, separated by the second line, were still in an orderly array just now, preparing to use the gap caused by the rushing of Mongolian scattered soldiers in front to open a hole with the impact of the cavalry in the square and try to escape from here, but now they are attacked by front and back, and are completely in chaos.
"The Tartars' soldiers had no morale at all. They drove these cannon fodders to rush forward, but the armored cavalry hid behind them. The morale was completely collapsed. The whole army moved forward and wrapped it up!"
The personal soldiers commander Wang Hai nodded sideways, turned around and gave several orders. On an open space behind the coaching flag, several personal soldiers erected the wooden cannons that had been prepared long ago. After igniting the fire, they turned around and ran away hurriedly.
With a loud "touch", a white smoke ball was fired into the air and exploded in the air.
The nine battalions behind Li Meng were divided into two groups and began to move forward.
The teams separated by the first line of the Tartars were completely separated, led by Abatai on one side and Yue Le on the other side.
Among these two teams is not the pure Eight Banners, but the cavalry of the Eight Banners who were about to be reunited just now. They are not suddenly becoming harmonious, but have no way to escape. They can only gather together to escape, but they can no longer talk about formation.
The east and west directions are the barriers between light and heavy cavalry, and the north is the two infantry fronts. Wherever there is a Ming army, the Tatar army dare not touch it. There is only the south side, and the other side is the place where the Tatar army camped this morning, which is used as a barrier and obstacle.
Although there are Ming troops in the south of the camp, because of the existence of the camp, there must be a gap there, and maybe you can escape along this gap.
After the assault of death was defeated, no one thought about continuing the assault of death. After the death aspiration in his heart was dispelled, only people were left with fear and humble intentions to survive. Even if they seemed like wild beasts on weekdays, the barbarians who were fearless of death were the same.
No one felt that the tent in the camp was an obstacle, it was a way of life, and everyone rushed over like a swarm of horses.
At this time, the first line of musket soldiers really did their best. They surrounded the suitable place for shooting at about ten steps away from the spear array, erected the muskets and fired at the utmost.
Even if there is a heavy smoothbore gun with low accuracy, even if there is no accuracy in free shooting, the cavalry of the two wings of the first front runs ran away regardless of the care of the head. As long as a musket is fired, a Tartar cavalry will definitely fall from the horse.
But who would still care about the fired muskets around you, run back to the camp as soon as possible, escape through the gaps, and avoid this hell-like battlefield. This is the first thing to do now. So many people, the dead may not be me.
It was indeed a gap in the south, and there was no damn thing there, and the terrible Ming army array. Perhaps the Ming army in the south had not yet arrived.
It’s okay to escape. Everyone of these frightened Tartar cavalry thought so. Enter the camp, follow the camp gate and run away on the other side of the camp!!
He was about to arrive in front of Yingzha and seemed to be about to escape, but the person who rushed to the front felt something was wrong.
In front of these Manchu and Mongolian cavalry, the wooden stakes they faced collapsed outwards with a loud bang. Behind the strait were the Dengzhou army, which was full of murderous intent.
In front of the Tartar cavalry, there was also a cold and layered jungle of spears. Now their last seemingly possible hope of escape was blocked.
The front, back, left and right were all Ming troops, all Ming troops arrays that they dared not attack. The front, back, left and right were all dead for the Tartar army.
Under the Central Army Commander, Li Meng listened calmly to the report of his personal soldiers and ordered in a stern voice:
Chapter completed!
