Chapter 474
Under the Qing army's flag, Hong Chengchou re-established his horse and stationed.
On the hills that were rising and falling in front of him, the Qing army cavalry stepped forward under the cover of artillery.
The terrain of the Horseshoe Pavilion is like a horseshoe, with hills on both sides and roads in the middle.
The Ming army blocked the road with vehicles on the high ground between the two hills, and musketeers and artillery were arranged on the hills on both sides.
In this way, the Qing army had to break through the blockade. If they directly attacked the road between the two hills, they would be attacked by three sides of the chariot formation and the two hills. If they attacked the hills first, they would also be shot by artillery on the opposite hills, and the Ming army behind the chariot formation took the initiative to attack the Qing army.
Although Han Dai expected that there were not many Ming soldiers to block the attack, his troops were not enough, and they were all cavalrymen, and they were elite Manchu and Mongolian soldiers and could not bear too much losses.
Therefore, Han Dai first rushed to the chariot formation, and was bombarded by fire from three sides and lost dozens of people. He retreated in a hurry. Then he changed his strategy to attack one hill, preparing to occupy the top of one hill, and then attacked the chariot formation from a high place and opened the passage. However, when he climbed to the half hill, he was bombarded by the opposite hill. The Ming army behind the chariot formation immediately took the initiative to attack, surrounded the Qing army behind the half hill, causing the Qing army to retreat again.
The Qing cavalry beat the east and the west for a hammer, but it had no effect.
As soon as Hong Chengchou arrived, he adjusted his strategy and relied on his military strength to bombard him with artillery. Then the army directly pressed forward, and at the same time attacked the hills and the middle chariot formation on both sides.
For a moment, the Qing army rushed up the field, and the mud pillars of artillery shells exploded in the Qing army's ranks. The Qing soldiers were erecting swords and spears, holding bows and arrows, and approaching the tops of the hills on both sides.
At this time, the Ming army's musketeers fired together, and smoke filled the hilltop. The Qing army kept falling to the ground with shields, but continued to move forward.
After seventy steps away from the top of the hill, the front row of swords and shield soldiers raised their shields to protect the key points amid the officers' shouts, and began to run wildly. The Qing archers behind them pulled the bow apart while running and shot an arrow to the top of the mountain.
The arrow "swoosh" passed over the heads of the sword and shield soldiers and landed on the mountain like a locust. The arrows were inserted into the simple fortifications of the Ming army, and the Ming army that was running screamed in tears for a moment.
Three thousand Ming troops were responsible for blocking the attacks of more than 15,000 Qing troops. The hills and chariot formations on both sides were arranged to defend one thousand soldiers.
The locust-like arrows fell like raindrops, causing the Ming army on the top of the mountain to quickly raise their shields to block them.
The Ming army Qianhu stood up, and on the hillside in front of him, there were dense figures of climbing upwards, which made the Ming soldiers who had been through the battle for a long time numb.
"Brothers, it's time to make achievements and serve the general!" Qianhu officials drew their swords and roared.
Ming soldiers fired muskets, and thunderstormed the sky. The Qing army was killed and injured, and the bodies rolled down one after another. The one behind them held a shield, rushed out of the smoke of gunpowder and rushed up.
"Kill!" The Ming army soldiers roared, raised their spears and stabbed the Qing army down the top of the mountain.
There were more than 3,000 Qing army ants on each hill on both sides attacking, restraining the Ming army on the top of the hill, and the two armies fell into a fierce battle.
At this time, Hong Chengchou waved his hand, "The artillery team pressed up and bombarded the chariot array!"
After a military order, the Qing army cannons shooting at the top of the mountain were immediately dragged by horses, and the front between the two hills came.
The Qing army quickly set up artillery, and twenty copper cannons aimed at the chariot array to bombard it. The shells roared out. The wooden wall composed of Ming military chariots was immediately smashed and smashed into pieces.
Yu Guowang urgently ordered Ming soldiers to hide in the anti-aircraft tunnel behind the chariot formation to avoid direct fire from the Qing army's artillery.
Hong Chengchou pulled out the Qianli Mile Mile Mile Mile, saw the Ming military vehicle formation being smashed into several gaps, and a smile appeared on his face.
His smile was not for the people around him, but seemed to be facing Zhao Ming who was far away in the Biti Pavilion, "Hmph, younger generation, I have been old governors, let you know today that ginger is still so hot."
Hong Chengchou immediately waved his hand and sneered, "The heavy cavalry charges and defeats the pirates!"
Han Dai, who had retreated and rested for a while, was neatly dressed and turned over his horse again. More than a thousand heavy cavalry also climbed up the horses. Then, amid Han Dai's whistling, he directly crashed into the smashed chariot formation.
~~~~~~
Biti Pavilion, under the Ming army's big crow.
Zhao Ming looked at the battle on the top of the mountain with a calm face, and waved his hand again, "Ding Weiyue, you are here too!"
Ding Weiyue, who had been unable to stop, was immediately overjoyed and immediately clasped his fists and said, "The Lord of the Low-Legal Affairs!"
After saying that, he led five hundred iron guards and escorted the cart to the hills.
This guard was Zhao Ming's personal guard, and his equipment was built according to Zheng Chenggong's Iron Man Army. It was a heavy armored infantry wearing iron armor.
The hills are not very high, but it is difficult to climb up, so the auxiliary soldiers pushed the cart and pulled it up halfway, and then helped the Iron Guards wear it in order to save their physical strength.
At this time, the Ming army had already gained an advantage in the battle on the hill, but Zhao Ming was still not satisfied. What he wanted was to defeat the defenders immediately.
The mountaintop exploded repeatedly, and the Ming army used thunder to tear open the gap, and rushed into the Qing army formation, about to disrupt the Qing army's front.
"Ma Junmen, the gunpowder and arrows have been consumed!" Li Benshen came to Ma Guanghui and roared anxiously.
The Ming army had already attacked the hills. If there were no muskets and bows and arrows, the Ming army behind suppressed the continued to reach the top, and the Ming army would only increase and more Ming army would be able to repel the Ming army and would eventually be submerged by the Ming army.
Hearing Li Benshen's words, Ma Guanghui's big face twitched, but he had no choice. He looked at Li Benshen and said, "It's time to come, I can only give you a last try and pull a few pirates on the back. I'm not afraid of loneliness on the road to the underworld."
When Li Benshen heard his attitude, his expression became fierce. At this moment, the Qing army on the top of the mountain suddenly had a riot.
After an explosion, a group of Ming soldiers slowly walked out of the smoke and dust. Several Qing soldiers rushed forward and slashed them down with long swords. They were immediately cut into two pieces, and their intestines and internal organs were scattered all over the ground, which shocked the Qing soldiers to retreat.
Seeing this, Li Benshen was furious and picked up the guy and said something from his teeth, "Brothers, fight hard!"
After roaring, he drew his sword and charged forward. Seeing this, the personal guards behind him could only roar and rush towards the Ming army like crazy.
The Ming soldiers on the opposite side stood on the hill but did not rush forward. Instead, they lined up in a row, then raised their swords together and slashed in an orderly manner. The Qing soldiers standing in front were cut into several pieces, and the scene was extremely bloody.
Li Benshen's personal guard thrust his spear and stabbed his spear, stabbed the iron armor of the heavy armor of the Ming army's heavy armored infantry, but he could not break the armor. The next moment, the big sword slashed the Qing army's soldiers, including weapons, armor and bodies, were cut off directly.
This group of people and horses is more brutal than the Japanese soldiers. Not only does it kill people like chopping firewood, but it is also hard to hurt swords. It is like a moving harvester.
The Qing army was frightened. Li Benshen was furious. Just as he was about to swing his knife forward, a subordinate suddenly pulled him and shouted anxiously, "Stop fighting the military gate, Ma Guanghui ran away again!"
Li Benshen was shocked when he heard the words. When he looked back, he saw that the big flag was still there, but Ma Guanghui was gone.
For a moment, Li Benshen looked stunned, "Ma Guanghui, you're so stupid!"
At this time, the Ming army's heavy armored infantry had advanced to Li Benshen. Suddenly, Li Benshen's hand seemed to be stung by something, and he threw away the weapon in his hand and immediately knelt down.
Seeing this, the Qing soldiers immediately abandoned their swords and knelt down. The heavy infantry of the Ming army killed several more people in a row before suddenly stopping the car.
Li Benshen looked up and saw the long knife that was parked above his head, and his face was pale.
