Chapter 80 The army collapses

Lying on the ground and feeling the vibrations from the Ming and Qing armies fighting dozens of meters away through the thousands of big feet, Chen Wen felt that even his breathing was hot.

The power on his body was exhausted in the crazy slashing just now. He was wearing a silver sling on his head, wearing a mountain armor weighing dozens of kilograms, and carrying a sword that was as sharp as mud to cut the Qing army gunners who were not covered with armor and weapons were really unfair, but the energy consumption was really amazing. If it were the pain that was still coming from his chest, he would have no strength to stand up.

After gasping for a while, Chen Wen reached out to touch the pain in his chest. The heart-protecting mirror, which was originally as smooth as a mirror and raised outward, was now concave, looking abrupt, and in the groove was only a stone the size of a fingernail.

"What a husky. If it weren't for the Ming Dynasty's mountain armor, this novel would have been called the eunuch of Zhenyanshun." (Just kidding)

After accumulating some strength, Chen Wen stretched his hand through the collar with difficulty. The flesh behind the heart protection mirror was still hurting so much that it was either green or purple. Fortunately, when he touched it, he felt that the bones were not shattered, and it was hard to say whether they were cracked or not.

Chen Wen thought about it and said that since the bones were not too big, the blood in the mouth of blood just now should have been shaken to the internal organs.

In this way, the protruding shape of the heart protection mirror should have removed most of the kinetic energy carried by the stone, but even so, the heart protection mirror was completely scrapped. I really don’t know how thick the skin of Hachi is to resist the shelling of the Red Barbarian cannons. No wonder even the slave chief Hongli highly praised the commander Yuan. The Qing Taizu, whose physical damage was almost immune, could only be restrained by the full magic damage of the nuclear bomb pioneer.

Putting aside these random thoughts, Chen Wen's heart was immediately filled with the joy of surviving the disaster. It's really Amitabha. Fortunately, he hit the heart protection mirror with the best defense of the entire armor. Any change of position is probably a dead end.

Just when Chen Wen was glad, a line of steps came from the previous array.

"General, are you okay?"

Hearing Zhang Jun's voice, Chen Wen shook his head. "Didn't you tell me to look at that foodie?"

"That, the villain saw you..."

Chen Wen knew very well what Zhang Jun was going to say. "Okay, help me sit up first."

Hearing Chen Wen's order, Zhang Jun took back his words of concern. Since Chen Wen was still trying to sit up, he didn't feel too seriously injured. However, Chen Wen's weight of more than 100 pounds and his pair of Shanwen armor weighing dozens of pounds, even though he was exerting force himself, he still exhausted Zhang Jun, who was only fifteen years old.

I sat up and saw that the formation of Nantang Camp had already surpassed the Qing army's previous formation position. I thought it had already defeated it step by step. It's a pity that the shouts on both sides were all Chinese. Although the Qing army was just traitors, the fighting between the same language still made Chen Wen unable to find much pleasure.

Although the Simingshan Anti-Qing Base was still destroyed and Zhoushan was also in an isolated and helpless situation as in history, as long as this Nantang camp was not destroyed by this war, sooner or later there would be a chance to fight against those who were decisively fighting on the battlefield with those who were truly barbaric.

After Chen Wen sat up, he noticed that Li Ruixin and the soldiers of the cavalry team were also coming with Zhang Jun. Due to the narrow battlefield, it was difficult for them to cross the formation to attack the Qing army. Under Chen Wen's leadership, he stopped in place and waited for subsequent orders. He noticed Chen Wen to the end and rushed over immediately.

Without taking Chen Wen to say anything, a angrily shouted at the other side of the stream on the side of the battlefield finally cut off all the chances of winning of the Qing army.

"I guard the prisoners by my siege, and follow me to rush over to reconcile with the general, and kill the Tartars!"

Before he finished speaking, the Qian General Yin Yue, who was in charge of the flanking command, immediately took the lead in wading forward, and behind him were the four killers of the Yuanyang Formation who had just rushed out of the guard post of the bamboo forest, who had almost not suffered any damage.

The sound waves spread on the battlefield at an extremely fast speed. When the Ming army, who had heard that reinforcements had arrived, was already in the upper hand, and this time it was even more motivated. The soldiers of Nantang Camp who had already been red-eyed had forgotten all the things that they had to reorganize their formation after every attack and rushed forward with great effort. However, the Qing army seemed to collapse in an instant after time stopped for a moment.

"I'm defeated, run away!"

"The reinforcements of the Ming army have arrived. If they don't run away, they will die."

“…”

Only at this moment, the Qing army, which was originally relying on its superiority to maintain its strength, collapsed. On the battlefield, whether it was war soldiers or auxiliary soldiers, thousands of Qing troops rushed backwards on this mountain road that was only 25 or 6 meters wide, and even cut down their comrades who were blocking their escape to the ground.

Seeing this, even the officers who were supervising the battle behind the formation gave up the idea of ​​continuing to carry out their mission and turned around and fled. Only a very small number of Qing troops were still struggling to resist, but they had no power to turn the world back.

The army was ashamed of collapse, that's exactly what it was!

After chopping down an annoying auxiliary soldier who was always running in front of him, Liu Da immediately adjusted his position to prevent him from being caught by the guy while struggling to death, so he could not continue to escape.

Behind him, some Qing army soldiers were knelt down at the top of their lungs and begging for mercy, but Liu Da did not dare to have this idea at all. Not to mention his wife and children at home, he was promoted to captain this time with six beheadings in the Battle of Siming Lake. Judging from the costumes in his memory, they were almost all soldiers of the Ming army in Dalanshan. Who can guarantee that the remaining troops of the Ming army behind him will not avenge the Ming army, how can he dare to stay in the middle?

Fortunately, as a veteran who has been in the army for more than ten years, he has experienced the defeat several times. How to escape so that he can't be caught by the enemy, and not be regarded as a scapegoat to take the lead in escaping. He is very clear about these experiences.

During this time, he was running among the crowd fleeing north. He did not dare to flee wildly because it would consume too much physical strength. There were not many Ming cavalry, and as long as he escaped from a certain range, it would be difficult to be caught. The rest was how to return to the Qing army controlled area.

Since facing the Ming army behind the palace, Liu Da suddenly discovered that he had fought for so many years and thought that the matter in this battle was well-informed, and it turned out that he was just a good place to watch the sky.

It is not surprising that the trapped horse pits all over the ground are not surprising, and the sneak attacks on the flanks are not worth it. He has seen these too many times and is quite accustomed to them. However, the strange formation they set up by the Ming army who stood in power really shocked him.

So what exactly are they?

The bamboo poles that have not been cut clean, the palladium boring and palladium used for farming work cannot even form the same style of the knife and card. How can such a messy thing be so powerful with a spear?

With the three shots ineffective, the Qing army, which had already had the advantage, was reversed by the Ming army only in the moment of fighting, and the subsequent battle was even hung up by the Ming army, which used strange formations and messy weapons. Even though the Qing army's auxiliary troops who went to fight were about twice that of the Ming army, how could it be seen that the Qing army was like a three and a half-year-old child fighting with the strong man of the Ming army, neither had the ability to resist nor had the power to fight back.

Liu Da, who was already a little frozen by these data that exceeded his cognition, completely forgot that he was still on the battlefield. Not only did the soldiers of our team forget to control them, even the archers and musketeers of the Ming army launched an attack on the side, he forgot to defend the shield completely. Even when the commander Ming Jin retreated, he was still standing there and being stupid.

If it weren't for the help of those old brothers who were always with each other, and even pulled him at the last moment, Liu Dahui would have become the first Qing army to die at the hands of Nantang Camp because of being frightened.

Back to the north of the road, the officers of the Qing army were adjusting their organization and boosting their morale, while Liu Da was glad that he was in the previous battle at Siming Lake. If it weren't for the fact that he was promoted to captain after that battle and had managed a ten-man team soldier, he would probably be the one who was killed by the Ming army who always maintained the rhythm of more and less fighting. At that time, the wife and children at home would have been cheaper.

But there was not much time left for him to be glad. After being scolded by his superiors, Liu Da had to take his subordinates and an auxiliary soldier who had just added to the place to advance again with the Qing army's large team. He attacked the Ming army, who had just knocked off several big teeth of the Qing army, and not long ago, that was guarding the Ming army in charge.

Even though the boss had already expressed that the attack was made with tiger squatting cannons to break the formation. When the Ming army formation was unsustainable, he would definitely defeat the Ming army in one fell swoop. This statement was very tempting, but Liu Da still expressed doubts. The Ming army in front of him was full of strangeness, and it didn't look like the army of this era at all. As for what it looked more like, he couldn't explain clearly, but the doubts in his heart were always lingering.

Next, in order to ensure the balance of these loaded tiger squat cannons, the Qing army's movement speed was even slower than the last attack, but at this time the Ming army lost interest in harassment, and they allowed these tiger squat cannons to reach a range of fifty steps under the cover of the Qing army.

Since these artillery had been loaded, they immediately fired after adjusting their positions. Only a "boom" sound of cannons was heard, and smoke filled the road, and their vision was completely blocked. However, the screams of the wounded from the side of the Ming army still excited Liu Da.

Although those gunners were also war soldiers in this high-priced battalion, most of the military achievements of ordinary soldiers were from beheadings, and these gunners were despised because they were difficult to obtain beheadings. Liu Da even heard of it. It seemed that for a while, the gunners were not even considered war soldiers, and they were only a higher status than auxiliary soldiers.

Not only that, during daily training, since gunpowder is a consumable, the officers and gunners in charge of artillery often use the excuse of training to resell the gunpowder, so the artillery operation technique is not very proficient. Moreover, artillery is prone to explosion, and the Qing army often avoids some distances when arranging the array to prevent accidental injury, just like now.

In addition, some reasons are not worthy of being wise for outsiders, these artillery soldiers are not favored by military soldiers like Liu Da. However, today's scene really refreshed his impression of these cowards who are huddled behind people.

As the smoke of gunpowder dissipated, the tragic situation of the Ming army was undoubtedly revealed. Although most of them were only injured, the formation that made them, such as the sharp men, was beaten into a mess at this moment. Even many Ming army, who had previously shown great courage, began to retreat unconsciously.

Liu Da suddenly remembered the words of his boss and was immediately impressed. It turned out that this strange formation could be broken so much, why didn't he expect it?

But at this moment, the head general of the Ming army actually brought a team of new forces to the front. What surprised Liu Da Da was that the general of the Ming army was actually going to lead the team to charge!

What kind of crazy man would do this?!

At least Liu Da had never seen such a desperate general in the past few years. He was walking forward with artillery fire. Even Huang Degong, who has always been known for his courage and fearlessness, seems to have never been like this, right?

Seeing the Ming army, which had already shown signs of collapse, turned towards the Qing army under the leadership of this outlaw, their intention was obvious, and they were nothing more than to charge to curb the Qing army's artillery attacks and form formations to defeat their group of Qing army, whose strength was still far greater than that of the main force of the Ming army.

Such intentions are mostly fantasy in the army of this era, but the brief confrontation just now has torn apart his confidence in confronting him head-on again. The Ming army here is still the same formation, while the Qing army has no change except those few tiger squatting cannons. The battle in the array is nothing more than copying the scene just now. How could it be possible to win?

Liu Da, who no longer wanted to face this strange formation again, had to rely on the tiger squat cannons and gunners. After all, they performed very well just now and tore the formation of the Ming army apart. If the Ming army could be killed this time, the Ming army would inevitably collapse. In this case, it would be excellent.

However, when Liu Da turned to look at the gunners, he found that these guys who were still sloppy on weekdays were now panicked because of the crazy behavior of the Ming general.

Fifty steps, enough to shoot, what's scary?

Unfortunately, Liu Da's idea could not be injected into the minds of the gunners in front of the formation. These Qing army gunners were still in a hurry, just like the Ming army gunners who were lured and fired by the Qing army to fire the gunshots.

He watched the gunners reset, clear the chamber, load and ignite the fire with anxiety. The tiger squat cannons finally made a series of roars before the Ming army rushed forward.

Just like last time, the road ahead of the Qing army's artillery position was once again shrouded by gunpowder. Behind the gunpowder, the wailing sound of wounded sounded as promised. Although it didn't sound as much as last time, Liu Da couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Not only that, there are even the sound of footsteps, probably running away, right?

wrong!

Although they were separated by a distance and were covered by the smoke of artillery fire, Liu Da still heard it. The Ming army was still advancing from far to near!

At the same time, the Qing army's gunners were still doing the same thing as before, resetting, clearing the chamber, loading, ignition... Although the smoke blocked the sight, the boss did not order the stop, and they did not dare to disobey the military order.

Suddenly, a figure jumped out of the smoke. The man was wearing a gold-plated croaker and a mountain-patterned armor. A sword in his hand was dazzling in the sun, like a god. The man jumped out of the smoke and chopped the loading hand blocking his way to the ground with just one jump. As soon as the man fell to the ground, he immediately slashed at the gunner beside him...

Not only Liu Da, but all the officers and soldiers in the front row of the Qing army were staring at everything in front of them in amazement.

How is this possible?!

Under such fierce shelling, the Ming army commander not only did not die, but also rushed to the front without any injuries, chopping and slashing the Qing army's gunners at will, even more like cutting melons and vegetables.

Could this person be blessed by gods?

When Liu Da thought of this, he couldn't help but feel chilled. Isn't he just going to go to hell when he fought against the Ming army this time? How can a person go to hell?

There are many Qing army with Liu Da’s idea, but there are also people who don’t believe this. This is the case with the Qing army officer who led the team.

Seeing Chen Wen rushing into the Qing army artillery position, he wanted to kill the Qing army gunners who had no weapons and armor, which was easier than killing pigs and sheep. Seeing this, he immediately ordered the archers in the formation to shoot at Chen Wen in an indiscriminate manner, in an attempt to complete the sniper.

Unfortunately, everyone has the will to protect themselves. Although the Qing army officers have a strong reputation, these archers still hesitated for a moment between disobeying military orders and offending God.

But in this moment, the strange formation of the Ming army came out of the gradually dissipating smoke. Not only was the road occupied by the new force, but even the empty places on both sides were filled with other Ming troops and became full.

The Ming army quickly killed the Qing army's gunners who had not had time to escape. After passing the brave Ming general and the several tiger squatting cannons of the Qing army, he immediately changed into a brand new strange formation. Although Liu Da had never seen this formation, he understood the Ming army's intentions after just one look. This is an attack!

Even though it was no longer the previous formation, the Ruiz in the front row was still swept away at the moment of the fight. Although the Qing army was still trying hard to resist in the subsequent battle, it was not just suppressed, and even parrying became a delusion.

Liu Da knew very well that this had something to do with the easy dissolving of the previous full-strength attack and was always suppressed since then. The bigger reason was that this Ming army would actually advance in the fire of artillery, which really shocked the Qing army like Liu Da. On the contrary, although the new formation in the offensive form was indeed quite powerful, the shocking power it brought was far from comparable to the previous scene.

He tried his best to resist, hoping that the head coach could use a greater killer move as soon as possible to deal with this extremely strange Ming army. Even if he could not defeat it, he had to take back the Qing army, including him.

But at this moment, the Ming army on the flank rushed out of the bamboo forest and tried to cross the stream to advance to the main battlefield. Liu Da knew very well that the Qing army on the flank had been completely defeated, and even if the commander took out some new tricks, he would be unable to turn the world back. The rest was how to save his life when the army was defeated.
