Chapter 405 Are you still a traitor?

Just when Li Chengdong and Ma Degong were going to recruit soldiers to serve as cannon fodder, Xu Dingguo, the great cannon fodder from the Qing Dynasty, had already gritted his teeth and went to the front line.

Xu Dingguo was just a cannon fodder! He played a trick on Zhu Cixiang in the Ming Dynasty. He became a cannon fodder and even had his old home raided. When he arrived in the Qing Dynasty, he continued to be a cannon fodder. He first met at the C-shaped Fort in Qufu City.

He had severe bleeding and almost lost his life.

This time I returned to Tuhe and continued to be ashes! And I was escorted to the battlefield by a group of coated slaves.

This is an old rule of the Qing army. When going into battle to kill the enemy, they should be divided into dead soldiers and sharp soldiers. Now that the Eight Banners men are not charging, naturally the minions in uniforms will be the sharp soldiers, and Xu Dingguo's green camp will be the dead soldiers.

Xu Dingguo is the slave who raised the flag, and the glorious Zhengbai Banner Han Army is Dorgon's slave! He really wouldn't be afraid of another Eight Banners master, but if Duduo wants to kill him, it is no different than crushing a bed bug.

So the old man had no choice but to take his two sons, Xu Er'an and Xu Erji, to the front line together. He also used all the servants he had to look after the house to fight. These servants are now slaves among slaves and cannot be soldiers.

The military pay is the same as that of ordinary green camp soldiers! The Qing Dynasty is not allowed to deduct the salary of ordinary soldiers to pay high salaries to servants.

Therefore, Xu Dingguo's servants now only have better food than the ordinary green camp, and there is no special treatment.

Moreover, many of them left their families behind in Suiyang. I don’t know if they were harmed by Huang Degong’s people or by Hauge who now occupies Suiyang. Thinking about it makes me cry!

But they themselves chose the path of traitors (when Xu Dingguo was defeated by Li Ruolian last time and ran to the Qing Dynasty, they were all following him), and they have to go on even if they cry!

So now they are all neatly dressed, wearing helmets and cotton armor, holding swords and cards. They are in teams of twenty, guarding the spearmen of the Green Battalion for Xu Dingguo, forming more than a dozen square formations, slowly moving like a wall.

Push towards the Ming army's position.

Xu Dingguo, his two sons, and a hundred of his most trusted servants walked behind more than a dozen phalanxes to supervise the battle.

Behind them, there were servants wearing yellow, white, and red cotton armor, forming a dozen square formations. Some of them also carried eight-power bows, not for shooting at the Ming army, but for shooting at the Ming army.

Come to shoot Xu Dingguo’s green soldiers!

If they dare not fight with all their might, the Baoyi slaves will shoot them to death without the help of the Eight Banners Master!

Zhang Mingzhen had returned to the front. He looked through the gap between the two shield vehicles and saw groups of green soldiers approaching the trench ten steps away from him. He opened his mouth and shouted: "Shoot the arrows! Archers, shoot the arrows now!"

It's a bit embarrassing to say that the bamboo and wooden bows used by the Shandong regiment for military training really have no bow power. If they are used to shoot armor-piercing heavy arrows, they can only shoot a dozen or twenty steps, and they will not be able to use their strength any further.

.

Therefore, the archers who trained in the Shandong regiment did not practice long-range shooting, but practiced close-range shooting and direct shooting. And the shooting distance they practiced was only fifteen to twenty steps, so when the Eight Banners soldiers fired arrows just now, they could not fight back. They had to wait for the opponent

Only when you have rushed fifteen to twenty steps away can you fire thousands of arrows.

Therefore, the trench outside the chariot fort is only fifteen to twenty steps away from the archers' position. Moreover, the trench is neither deep nor wide, so it is easy to cross. However, there is a row of rifles placed inside the trench, which requires some effort.

Time to clean up.

Just when the Xu family's green battalion soldiers rushed into the trench and prepared to clean up the horse guns, the strings of 2,000 bamboo and wooden bows suddenly flicked down, and then arrows came from the sky.

The Xu family's green battalion soldiers all wear cotton armor, with cotton on the outside and iron sheets on the inside to protect their vitals. However, the archers training in the Shandong regiment shoot heavy arrows. Even if they are wearing iron armor, they cannot guarantee 100% accuracy.

One hundred can carry these heavy arrows, not to mention the worthless green soldiers who only have cotton armor filled with water.

So when the arrows rained down, they immediately destroyed one piece!

"Not bad!"

This is the emotion expressed by Duduo!

He was standing on the stirrups, holding a telescope to watch the battle. When he saw the wave of arrows from his opponent, he couldn't help but admired: "They can use the light bow to this extent, these Nikans are not weak!"

"Your Majesty," He Luohui said from the sidelines, "our Eight Banners warriors will fight back soon!"

Duduo smiled: "Of course!"

The archers of the Eight Banners Soldiers have been waiting for this moment! Before, they just threw the arrows out blindly. I wonder if there is anyone behind the Ming army's shield car? But now, it is certain that someone is shooting arrows there. So the Eight Banners Soldiers

The counterattack began soon. They did not continue to hide behind the shield car, but formed a formation in front of the shield car, firing heavy arrows neatly. They could not see the situation behind the Ming army's car fort, and no one could do anything for them.

They calibrated the landing point of the arrowheads. So they could only shoot as "scattered" as possible, so that they could always hit some Ming army archers.

Because the Shandong regiment training was established too short ago, there was not enough armor available. Archers who did not need to participate in hand-to-hand combat were not qualified to wear armor. Even if the Eight Banners soldiers shot light arrows, they could not resist them.

The sound of arrows piercing flesh kept making a muffled sound. Zhang Mingzhen hurriedly turned his head and looked back, and immediately saw several archers being shot in the vital parts and falling to the ground. Two of them were not seriously injured, and they were still struggling to survive.

He got up. He seemed to want to continue fighting! But the other archers were still pulling their bows and shooting arrows desperately, and no one dared to take a step back.

The Eight Banners soldiers' eight-power bows could throw their arrows very far, and some even landed in front of Gao Hongtu. But the tall governor sitting on the horse, wearing strong armor, did not blink an eyelid.

Several soldiers hurriedly stepped forward and tried to protect him with their bodies, but the old man pushed him away: "Why are you panicking? I am wearing strong armor and we are far away. Are we still afraid of the arrows of the Tartars?"

While he was talking, some green soldiers in the front had already risked their lives to move away their rifles and climbed onto the car fort. The car fort was actually a shield car and an artillery car put together, and there were anti-cannon fire piles in front of the shield car.

The earth bag. Because the earth bag was piled up on a slope, it was not difficult to climb. Soon the traitor soldiers from the Green Camp climbed up, but before they could stand firm, the javelin was already thrown at them!

The first few green soldiers who rushed forward were unable to dodge, and were all pierced by javelins, and fell down screaming.

The javelin was originally the standard weapon for sword players in the Ming Dynasty. A sword player should be equipped with two javelins. According to the Comparative Martial Arts Rewards and Punishments chapter of Qi Jiguang's "New Book of Ji Xiao": To test the javelin, set up three silver coins, within thirty steps.

If it hits the target, it is either high, medium, or low. If it is not bad, it is cooked.

In other words, during training, sword players must be able to hit a target the size of a silver coin thirty steps away! Qi Jiguang's requirements are really high. By the end of the Ming Dynasty, almost no one could meet his requirements.

.

Even many generals who lead troops have forgotten this requirement. Most sword players don't carry javelins and don't have enough to eat. How can they have the strength to throw javelins?

However, Gao Hongtu had read the "New Book of Ji Xiao" carefully, and also trained the regiment according to the above requirements. It was impossible to invest Chinese coins from thirty steps away, but it was no problem to stab a traitor to death in ten or twenty steps!

Xu Dingguo also saw his soldiers being stabbed to death by javelins from behind, and his scalp went numb immediately.

These Shandong team training sessions were much better than he thought. He just didn't play well with firearms at the beginning, but later on he performed well! He shot the arrow well and threw the javelin even better!

Such an army would be a formidable force within the Ming army. It could at least be as good as the Qin army trained by Sun Chuanting! How could he defeat his own Green Army soldiers?

"Dong dong dong"

At this time, the drums were beating loudly! This was Duduo urging the attack. He didn’t care how many traitors died!

As long as we can win this battle today, how many traitors will it take?
