Chapter 858 What? The Qing Dynasty is gone! Six
Win?
Is this too sudden?
Duoduo, who was watching the battle on the high platform in the rear, could not believe his eyes. He was also planning to wait for the infantry commanded by Yue Le to be beaten up by the Ming army and send cavalry to encircle the left wing of the Ming army!
But what happened to the Ming army? How could it be defeated if it was done well?
Could it be that I, the brave king, is it really good to fight? Or is there a fraud?
"There is a fraud! There must be a fraud!" Duoduo was already yelling! He is the King of Braves, how can he be so easy to cheat?
Nikan stood beside Duoduo and looked at it with a thick neck. When he heard Duoduo say that he was cheating, he smiled and said, "Uncle Huang is wise, but if he is cheating, we are not afraid that our horse team has not moved yet! Let's see what fraud can those people do?"
Infantry is not the main force in the Duoduo army, the cavalry of the vanguard battalion, the cavalry of the cavalry of the cavalry and the Bayala cavalry are the main force!
The main force has not yet been released, so it is better to use the inexpensive infantry to test the Ming army's trump card.
Thinking of this, Duoduo suppressed Mingjin's intention to withdraw his troops and raised his telescope to continue watching the battle.
Looking through the telescope, I saw that the Ming army musketeers who were just murderously trying to shoot the Qing army ran as fast as a rabbit. At a glance, they knew that they were very good at running away.
The spearmen who were originally pressing behind the musketeers were dispersed by the group of veterans who were good at running away. They used a 100-3 spear, which was used to stab the cavalry at a glance! If they could maintain the formation, they might be able to deal with the Qing army infantry. But now they are all dispersed, and they have no choice but to fight against the Qing army's swordsman, and they can't run away!
Could it be that the Ming army was not defeated by fraud, but was really caught off guard by Yue Le's opportunity?
When Duoduo was not sure, the retreating Ming army had stopped its decline. It turned out that after running more than 300 steps, they encountered the Ming army's rear formation. The most common infantry array in the era of quadratic formations were based on square formations or horizontal formations, and then they formed two large formations in front and back. They set up cannons in front of the front formation, and cavalry in the left or rear of the two formations.
However, the Ming army that Duoduo encountered today was a bit strange. Their two formations were too far away, with more than 300 steps, and they didn't see where their cavalry were?
This always seems wrong!
Just when Duoduo always felt something was wrong, the soldiers of the Ming army retreated in front of the formation were already passing through the back formation in chaos and began to reorganize the team dozens of steps behind the back formation.
At this time, many 3-pound cannons were set up in front of the Ming army's rear formation. These cannons were those that were originally placed before the front line and retreated before the Qing army's musketeers came up. There were originally 36, and 33 were damaged in the previous artillery battle. Now they were filled with shotguns. They bombarded the Qing army's pursuit, which made the Qing army's pursuers turn over and immediately stabilized their positions.
The Qing army, which was bombarded by the artillery, also ended the charge, retreated two or three hundred steps before starting to reorganize the team. The Qing army's infantry's rear formation had 87 artillery pieces (the Qing army's artillery lost 9 artillery pieces in the previous artillery battle) and were also pulled forward by horses to move these artillery pieces. The real combat effectiveness of the Qing army's infantry!
When the Qing army re-arranged its formation, the Ming army's artillery kept firing desperately. This time it was a cheap stone bullet, but it was still quite accurate. The shells kept falling into the Qing army's infantry. Although it was only 3 pound stone bullets, it could not hold too many. Every time it fell, it could overturn several Qing soldiers. The most terrifying thing was that some of the shells could still bounce up, and then quickly flew for a distance of five or six feet from the ground. The flesh and blood of the soldiers who stood in front of the shell would be instantly penetrated by the flying stone bullet! After breaking through a strong Qing army man wearing unknown layers of armor, these flying stone bullets would still have the energy to penetrate the second and third human bodies.
The Qing army, which was bombarded by Ming army artillery, was almost defeated in chaos, but Yue Le was not a good deal. He personally led the old Manchu who supervised the battle to hold back the battle, and cut dozens of heads in a row before he could barely stabilize the situation.
But the price is worth it!
Because the Qing soldiers' more than 80 3-pound cannons were already set up by this opportunity, although eight more artillery were hit and lost by the Ming army's artillery during this process, the remaining more than 80 artillery were still placed at the forefront of more than 200 steps away from the Ming army's infantry.
This firepower is not a joke, it completely exceeds the normal density and reaches an excessive level. It was not able to exert its power before because it was too far away from the Ming army's infantry formation and could only be used to bombard the artillery arranged by the Ming army in a sudden attack.
Now Yue Le let his infantry and artillery deploy with the opponent's firepower, thus bringing the distance closer!
Once the firepower of more than 80 3-pound cannons is developed, it will be impossible for the Ming army's more than 10,000 infantry and more than 30 3-pound cannons to bear it.
Perhaps he was frightened by the number of artillery from the Qing army. Before the Qing army's cannons were collectively aimed and then fired, the Ming army began to retreat again.
Yue Le was also prepared. Seeing the Ming army retreating in chaos, he sent out more than 2,000 musketeers and more than 2,000 archers in his hands. He chased the Ming army's butt and added a series of arrows. The Ming army's formation was in chaos. It seemed that it could not be reorganized. Many Ming army's spearmen even lost the three-seven spearmen in their hands!
"Win, win." Nikan, who was standing next to Duoduo, was already excited. "Uncle Huang, please let the slave lead the cavalry to the battle. These 20,000 people will definitely be guaranteed to be fully covered!"
Duoduo still didn't believe that he would win so easily. He always felt that there was a fraud. It was just when he couldn't come out. Just behind the retreating Ming army, a row of fire suddenly appeared on the edge of a large forest, and then eight or nine black dots were sprayed out, flying towards the chasing Qing army at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye. Because the distance was far and the target was moving, most of them were empty, but there was still a black dot in the middle of a large group of Qing troops, and several people were knocked down. Then the black dots bounced up, swept through the crowd, and a blood alley was created!
"This is not a three-pound cannon!" Duoduo took a breath, "The Southern Barbarian pulled out the Red Barbarian cannon to fight in the field?"
"Uncle Huang," Nikan reminded, "this must be a cannon to bombard Tianjin Wei! I didn't expect it to be used here!"
Duoduo nodded: "It should be so! But there must be heavy artillery, there must be heavy soldiers. It seems that there are ambushes in the woods! This is probably Shi Kefa's last move, right?"
Perhaps to prove Duoduo's wise and magical martial arts, as soon as he finished speaking, a large group of musketeers and spearmen rushed out of the forest, forming a dozen Morris-like square formations, and rushed towards the flanks of the Qing army.
"Uncle the Emperor!" Nikan couldn't help it anymore and asked for a fight again, "Give me 8,000 forward camp horse team, and I went to deal with the ambush from the left wing of the Southern Barbarians."
Duoduo smiled and said, "I'm afraid the 8000 forward battalion horse team is not enough? I'll add 6000 cavalry camp to bring the two cavalry teams that were red and blue, and then drop 12 3-pound cannons for you. Remember, don't rush hard, let the 3-pound cannons cover the dismounted vanguard soldiers go up and attack with muskets, and then use the cavalry camp to attack with muskets when their formation is disrupted."
"Yeah!"
Nikan responded and said, after a thousand-way battle, he was about to go down to the watchtower to mobilize troops. At this time, a dense sound of muskets suddenly came from the direction of Deshengdian on the left wing of Duoduo.
Nikan stopped and looked back at Duoduo. Duoduo waved his hand and smiled, "Go and fight well! Don't worry about Deshengdian. It should be the Southern Army's cavalry ambushed by Murima.
Gu had always been worried about the Southern Army's horse team, but now the stone in his heart has finally come to the ground!
The Lone King just needs to transfer 3,000 cavalrymen to support Murima. He fought in the forest, and was brave enough to compete, which is the best thing for our old Eight Banners!”
Nikan compliments loudly: "Uncle Taishi Shengming!"
