(Thank you for your monthly tickets for your friends and book friends 20190105213955831~~)
Turge was fantasizing that the Qing army was following the people into the storm position as before, but his eyes suddenly shrank and chaos appeared on the opposite side.
A loud voice among the bandits was holding a loudspeaker and shouting: "All people in the Ming Dynasty should immediately lie down, and their guns are blind, and they should immediately lie down. Those who violate the order will bear the consequences!"
Looking at the densely packed black muzzle, the people were in chaos. Some turned around and ran away, some lay down on the spot, and some people accelerated forward. In an instant, there were loud cries and begging for mercy.
There were about four or five thousand ordinary people at the scene, and only more than two thousand people could really do it. Although there was no such thing as a woman at this time, the bandits still fired their guns and showed the police.
"Bang bang bang ~~"
After a clear gunshot, the running people instinctively lay down, leaving only a few hundred people running. Li Xin could not put himself in danger for these hundreds of people, so he raised his arms high and pressed down heavily!
Suddenly, guns and cannons were heard on the position, mainly 093 field cannons and tiger squat cannons, and they shot one by one shell and one by one at the Eight Banners of the Han army that followed the people.
At that time, the eight banners of the Han army had a very low status in the Qing army, almost all of them were Baoyin slaves. In addition to artillery, they were mainly traditional infantry and archers. They were organic and followed them, but they fell down, but more of them fell into a pool of blood.
"waste!"
Turge looked at this scene and cursed, then turned around and yelled: "Call the Mongolian cavalry to charge the formation!"
Mongolian cavalry did not refer to the Eight Banners of the Mongolian Army, but the Outer Mongolian entourage. In modern times, Outer Mongolian people were above the top and regarded themselves as the descendants of Genghis Khan. However, at that time, Outer Mongolia was a slave to the Golden Family and was not worthy of living in Inner Mongolia, where the rich water and grass were abundant, the status of Outer Mongolian entourage was similar to that of slave soldiers.
"kill!"
Twenty thousand Outer Mongolian cavalry rushed towards the position of the bandit army like a whirlwind!
The saber shone with cold light under the reflection of the sun, and the sound of the hooves rumbled, rolling up a large area of dust.
The people were completely in chaos and ran to the positions of the storm troops like crazy, including the Eight Banners of the Han army who were following behind and had not yet been killed. Everyone knew that the Outer Mongolian cavalry would not care about their life and death. Once they were caught up, they would be stepped into flesh mud.
"Commander-in-Chief!"
Zhang Quan called out anxiously.
Now he is the brigade commander of the Third Musket Brigade.
Li Xin said: "Let open a gap of fifty feet wide. All people who come in are not allowed to carry weapons. They must cooperate with the placement, otherwise they will be killed without any attention!"
"Get orders!"
Zhang Quan bowed and made arrangements immediately.
There were wooden boards and soldiers shouted loudly to guide the common people and the eight banners of the Han army into the positions from wooden boards. The eight banners of the Han army did not care about it at this time. Their status was lower than that of the outer Mongolian entourage. After all, even if the outer Mongolian entourage was a slave, they would at least have the word Mongolian. In Manchu and Mongolian Hanzhong, they could barely squeeze into the second-class people, while the eight banners of the Han army were the lowest third-class people.
Listening to the shouting, the Eight Banners of the Han army threw away their weapons and stepped into the position with their hands raised.
The number of people from the Eight Banners of the Han army was not large, only a few thousand, and there were no weapons. Facing the bandits with live ammunition, Li Xin could not make waves, so he quickly looked away.
Erju said anxiously from the side: "Commander-in-Chief, why haven't those soldiers detonated the mines? They can already blow up to two or three thousand, almost, so they won't be waiting, but don't be cut off, so you can't come back by yourself!"
Li Xin said helplessly: "People are a bit gambling. They want to make money after making money. I blame me for not giving it a special reminder in advance. At this time, I can no longer send the message. Alas~~"
‘One thousand, two thousand…’
The warrior in the tree hole was counting silently. From his perspective, he naturally wished he could kill 10,000 or 20,000 at a time, but the Mongolian cavalry was getting closer and closer. If he had any hesitation, he was afraid that he would be unable to get out, so he pulled the rope!
"Bang!Bang!"
The earth made several muffled sounds in succession, which was a signal to make a move.
In an instant, like a flowering, landmines spread and exploded at an extremely fast speed, exploded in sections. No one could escape the explosion range, with broken limbs and broken arms, horses' thighs and necks mixed with gravel and soil!
"Damn it!"
Turge was so angry that he cursed. He was still hit. Just as he didn't understand that there was no mine explosion before, he still didn't understand why the mine suddenly exploded, but he clearly saw that there were nearly three thousand cavalrymen who were blown over!
Before the two sides had formally confronted each other, nearly 3,000 cavalry died, and the bandits did not even show their faces. He deeply felt Li Xin's terror. Even if he won the battle later, he would not be able to tell the Outer Mongolia King when he went back.
"good!"
"Good fried!"
Among the bandits, cheers were like thunder and cheers!
The explosion also shocked the surrendered Han army Eight Banners and the common people, with lingering fear on their faces. It turned out that there were really landmines under their feet, but they didn't know what means they used to control the enemy's troops and did not explode.
The mines were buried in one area and it was impossible to blow up all the Outer Mongolian cavalry. Moreover, the Qing Dynasty was in a period of rising national strength and strict military discipline. Although nearly 3,000 people died of misfortune, it did not have much impact on the overall offensive, and the rest of the cavalry still rushed forward on horseback.
This was something that Li Xin, who was also unexpected by several soldiers involved in the blasting.
A total of four soldiers detonated the mine formation. At the moment when the explosion stopped, they pushed the baffle and drilled out of the cave. The situation on the ground was different from what they expected. They originally expected that the explosion would block the Qing army for a moment and create opportunities for escape, but the Outer Mongolian cavalry still ran over. Judging from the distance, it was too late to escape back to their own camp.
Blasting was a life-and-death task, voluntary, and had already been fully prepared. Among them, two soldiers from the young family submitted suicide notes to their superiors before the war!
The sound of hooves rumbled, and the four of them stopped just after taking a step. The Outer Mongolian cavalry also noticed them and made a strange cry that they couldn't understand. Hundreds of cavalry gathered around them, and even more than ten cavalry showed their siege and circled around them in the air, extremely arrogant.
"Oh, not good!"
Huiying shouted fiercely: "What should I do? It seems that I will be captured. Alas, I can still come back through the replacement of prisoners in the future. Mr. Li, you have to catch more living Tartars."
Li Xin and others did not respond. At this point, no one would blame them even if they were captured.
These four soldiers became the focus of the two armies. The Outer Mongolian cavalry became closer and closer, and there were still people whispering, probably to surrender.
The four people stood still, letting the encirclement shrink and smaller.
A soldier suddenly asked, "Will it be a prisoner and be led by a savage man with a rope around his neck, he would be his own shame, the commander-in-chief's shame, and the bandits' army?"
The companions around him took it and said, "Of course it's a shame. Liu Guangzu, your name is Guangzong Yaozu. Are you going to surrender to the enemy? Want to shame your ancestors?"
"Your mother's comparison!"
The soldier named Liu Guangzu cursed: "I was originally a Huai'an soldier. Even if I don't join the army, the commander will arrange it well. If you can be the commander's soldier, you are not afraid of death. The four of us killed nearly 3,000 enemies, and exchanged hundreds of them for one life. We have made a fortune long ago. It's worth it if we die. Brothers, I will take one step first and wait for you below!"
After saying that, he took out two grenades from the leather bag around his waist, and bit them hard at the mouth, and smoke burst out.
The key to grenades is to delay the fuse, and the basis of delayed fuses is to trigger the fuse. They ignite the trigger fuse by friction, and then ignite the lead to achieve the detonation effect.
Grenades are mainly used in individual or small-scale street fighting, requiring soldiers to have strong combat awareness and tactical qualities. At present, the bandit army has not equipped grenades except for the vanguard battalion and personal guard companies. As for now, grenades do not play much role in the battle of tens of thousands of troops, so Li Xin did not promote grenades throughout the army.
“Hahahaha~~”
The other three laughed in unison and said, "Let's go together!"
"Chichi ~~"
The grenade was raised high, and the thick smoke that was spewing out was clearly visible, accompanied by a loud military song: "What's the difference between us soldiers..."
There were terrified screams from the Outer Mongolian cavalry, and they forced themselves to revolve their heads, but how could it be so easy for the galloping horses to turn over?
"Boom boom boom boom~~"
Several bursts of sounds, and the military songs came to an abrupt end. The bodies of the four soldiers slowly fell down. With it as the center, the outer Mongolian cavalry around them exploded in a circle, and the flesh and blood inside was blurred. On the outside, people and horses fell to the ground and howled. Fortunately, those who were not bombed could not stop the horses' rushing. They were tripped away by the horses on the ground, and they screamed and fell on the hard ground, and blood squirted wildly.
Those unruly grassland men were stunned. The firm arms, sonorous and powerful singing, and the persistence and fanaticism emanated from their eyes will be imprinted in their hearts for the rest of their lives. Of course, the premise is that they can survive this battle!
The world fell into silence. No one could have expected that the four soldiers would end their lives in such a heroic way. Although on the battlefield, everyone has the possibility of death, they have to blew up grenades even if they die with the enemy. What courage and bloodiness is this?
"...just because we are all wearing simple military uniforms..."
Suddenly, passionate singing broke out from the positions of the four soldiers, facing the sacrifice of the four soldiers, each standing straight and then singing, from Li Xin, Huang Hai, He Hu, Gao Guiying, Huimei Huiying, Zhang Nai to ordinary soldiers, everyone's eyes were filled with tears, and their voices were tragic. The song quickly gathered from the initial scattered places. The soldiers wanted to sing the military songs that they had not finished....
The song pierced the space and reached the bank of the Yellow River. Whether you could understand it or not, the Qing soldiers were involuntarily shocked, because the song exuded a strong will to not be afraid of sacrifice and seek victory!
But what is even more shocking is the captured Eight Banners of the Han Army. The loud military songs echoed in my ears, impacting my heart and washing my soul. Many people lowered their heads in shame, and some even cried loudly and shed tears of regret!
As a descendant of Yan and Huang, I am ashamed of my ancestors, ashamed of the heroic martyrs, and ashamed of the bright red blood!
