Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 988 Desperate Battle 2
Xue Siming's army moved forward about 1000 meters and then stopped.The distance of 500 meters is the limit of the powerful support that the artillerymen of the Heluo New Army who have initially mastered the coordinate shooting skills can give.However, the Qing army was still rushing forward, and they had to push forward, because except for the limited number of thunderbolts and howitzers they seized from the Tianxiong Army, the effective range of the remaining artillery was only 300 meters. The effective range for group targets is only a pitiful 500 meters. If you don't get closer, you won't be able to hit them at all.

On the Heluo New Army's position, the voices of passwords came and went, and the generals called out the names of the officers loudly, and gave them concise and clear orders. The officers who received the orders should understand loudly that everything is in order.Several liaison officers who were proficient in semaphore stood on a tall carriage, waved their flags and issued a series of semaphores to the artillery position. The observers on the artillery position who had been staring at this side with binoculars responded quickly, and then——

Boom boom boom!

The sound of the rumbling guns shattered the silence of the battlefield. The shells whizzed past Xue Siming's army with fierce air waves, and fell 300 meters in front of them, exploding into dazzling balls of fire. This was the howitzer's test firing.Immediately afterwards, the 120mm and 160mm thunderbolt guns joined the ranks of the test firing, and the rocket launchers also fired in turn, each firing two shells, blasting rows of irregular bomb craters at the front of the Heluo New Army position. The flames rolled, and the shrapnel roared and flew. This scene was also quite frightening.Seeing this, the advancing Qing army's pupils shrank, and Hauge couldn't help scolding: "What kind of tricks are these Ming dogs playing? Do they waste shells like this?" He felt distressed when he saw it. , with the strong cooperation of the Guan Ning army, the Qing army captured a batch of breech-loading rifled guns, and after a little experimentation, they were shocked as artifacts. They were put into the battlefield many times, and they were indeed invincible.But the number of shells is not much, and the Qing army can’t produce them, and every time they shoot, there will be one less round, so they regard these shells as their favorites, and they are reluctant to use them unless they are absolutely necessary. He shot dozens of shells into the empty space, he really wanted to curse!

Jirhalang said: "The Ming army is demonstrating against our army!"

Hauge snorted: "They just need to demonstrate. Yang Menglong likes cannons so much. After we catch him, we will chop him into meat paste and put him in the barrel of the cannon to shoot out as cannonballs. How about it?"

Jilharang said: "We'll wait until we catch him." Unlike Hauge, a guy with strong limbs and a simple mind, he was always so calm and very realistic, and had no interest in such empty talk.

In fact, the Qing army wronged the Heluo New Army. The Heluo New Army did not demonstrate to them, but simply corrected the coordinates.This group of artillerymen treated the cannons as machine guns and fired in the order of left-middle-right, with several shells fired in each direction, and the liaison officer in front observed the impact point of the bullets and then corrected them.They don't need to worry about what they hit, they just need to make sure that the shells will not accidentally injure their own people when they hit the front of the position within two to three hundred meters. Are you afraid that the cannon will not reach people?
Just adjusting the coordinates of the shooting circle correction, hundreds of shells were destroyed. The wealth and wealth of the Heluo New Army is really staggering.

Amidst the sound of rumbling guns, the Qing army continued to advance, and finally, their forward troops stopped only 500 meters away from the Heluo New Army.Now you can clearly see without binoculars that the Qing army has a lot of shortcomings compared to the past. Forty percent of the infantry are armed with brand-new muskets, and there is a square army thorn in their waists. The formation is neat, and the eyes are cold. Obviously, they have also learned the new army's tactics of queuing up and shooting and then charging with blades.The most terrible thing is that these guys still have two grenades in their waists, which makes Xue Siming frown———Any one will kill and injure a lot of people!He has no other choice but to greet the [-]th generation of Guan Ningjun's family ancestors. He has to change the magic to make those grenades disappear, right?
The Qing army behind the musketeers abandoned their usual heavy swords and axes, and replaced them with all four-meter long spears.First, this is the reform of the tactical system. After all, the long spear is the king of cold weapons on the battlefield. It is difficult to find a weapon that is more suitable for battle. Second, it is a last resort. Lu Xiangsheng destroyed the Shanxi Merchants Group and cut off the Qing army. The channel to obtain iron materials, and the Qing army urgently needs good iron materials to make muskets. There is no way but to let the heavy infantry in charge of hand-to-hand combat make some sacrifices and replace them with long spears. Everyone knows that long spears are bigger than heavy swords. The ax saves iron.That is to say, the white armored soldiers still kept their usual epee swords and axes. These guys were distributed among the pikemen. They looked a bit different, but they were extremely dangerous. Easy win.

Yang Menglong smiled: "It's quite similar to us a few years ago."

Xue Siming said: "I just don't know how much they have learned?"

Yang Menglong said: "I'm afraid I've learned [-]%."

Having said that, both of them showed solemn expressions.They used to use the current tactical system of the Qing army to conquer the world, and they are more aware of the horror of this tactical system than anyone else. Ordinary will will definitely become an extremely terrifying opponent. I'm afraid this battle will not be easy!
Huang Taiji made a gesture.

The two sides of the Qing army's frontline formation were separated, and a carriage flying with yellow flags and inlaid with gold and jade sped out. On the carriage sat a guy in a yellow robe, screaming repeatedly, and two guys dressed as eunuchs were fighting for their lives. The horses pulling the carriage were whipped, and the painful horses galloped wildly. Behind them, a group of Qing cavalry chased after them, shouting "Chongzhen, please leave!" and fired arrows without arrowheads at the carriage. The guy in the yellow robe screamed desperately: "My life is over! My life is over!" The two eunuchs also had their hair disheveled and were extremely embarrassed.All the Qing soldiers laughed loudly, and the faces of the Ming soldiers suddenly became extremely ugly.

In the Battle of Panjin, the Ming army was defeated, and Chongzhen fled in a carriage. This scene has become a national humiliation of Ming Dynasty. Now that the Qing army came here, it was tantamount to slapping them all in the face!

Xue Siming looked gloomy and called, "Master Hou!"

Yang Menglong stretched out and said, "Are you bringing monkey performers into the war? That's interesting!" He shouted to Zhaji and Chong Weng: "Jiannu invited us to watch a good show. We can't be too stingy. Let them watch it." Let's publish "Three Auspicious Treasures"."

Zaji shouted excitedly at Weng: "Understood!" He rode his horse down, and after a while, when the chasing soldiers of the Qing army surrounded the fleeing carriage and pulled "Chongzhen" out of the carriage, he and a group of soldiers He came up with three dear friends.

The laughter of the Qing army stopped suddenly!

These three are tall and tall, half of their heads are shaved, and they wear an ugly money rattail. They are gorgeously dressed and have bright armor. He is a nobleman of the Qing Dynasty.But now these three nobles are all tied up, and their faces are black and blue. Obviously, they have been beaten by black sticks since they were captured--this is also understandable, they killed so many people and caused so much harm. Many ordinary people have been displaced and their families have been destroyed. No matter how strict the military discipline of the Heluo New Army is, it cannot suppress the anger of the soldiers. It is human nature to give them black sticks every now and then.Seeing the flag of the Qing army, one by one of them, like the poor children whose parents had died and who were begging for food, suddenly met Grandpa Saudi. It was huge, if it wasn't for the guards of Heluo Xinjun's guards, they would have rolled off their horses and crawled over to Huang Taiji at this time!
Zhaji Chongweng didn't talk nonsense, he pulled out the things that blocked the mouths of the three before and after the battle, and kicked them off the horse one by one, the action was very rough, but these three would not care about him Without making a sound, he crawled towards the Qing army with hands and feet.The soldiers of Heluo's new army each drew their horizontal knives, mobilized their horses, followed unhurriedly, and were ready to slaughter at any time.This action frightened the three of them so much that they almost peed. They tried their best to feed, ran and crawled desperately. It seemed that they could do nothing but run. They never thought about it at all. They can't outrun a war horse with two legs no matter what!
No one in the Qing army could laugh anymore.

Huang Taiji raised the monocular telescope and looked over there. His whole body trembled violently. Several veins protruded on the back of the hand holding the telescope, and he almost crushed the telescope barrel.He gritted his teeth and said, "It's Old Fourteen and Old Fifteen!"

Jierhalang cried out, "How did they fall into the hands of the Ming army!?"

Huang Taiji gritted his teeth and said, "The army attacking Shanxi...is over!"

The Heluo New Army is playing a cat-and-mouse game, and in this game, it is Prince Rui Dorgon, Prince Yu Duoduo, and Azig who are friendly cameos in this game!These three have always been at odds with Huang Taiji, but now they crawl towards him desperately like a beaten child, looking terrified and embarrassed, this can only explain one thing Fact: The tens of thousands of troops who attacked Shanxi are over, completely over, not even a scum left behind!
That was nearly half of the troops of the Qing Dynasty!

Nearly half of the Eight Banners disciples were buried in Shanxi just like that!
In fact, as early as two months ago, Dorgon and his troops were crushed by the Ming army in Taiyuan. Azige was captured alive by Zu Dabi. After a fierce battle, Duo Duo was also captured by Zu Da Lesheng. Duo Ergun fled to Luliang Mountain, and the Ming army followed them like a shadow. They surrounded a radius of tens of miles and searched tens of thousands of people. The common people and guards joined the search ranks, and Dorgon had nowhere to hide.After hiding on the mountain and nibbling on the bark and grass roots for a few days, Dorgon finally couldn't take it anymore, and decisively went down the mountain to surrender to the Ming army. He had already thrown away the pride of the Qing prince and the dignity of the Eight Banners. He just wanted to be full devil!

The Ming army gave them food. Although they still had to be blacked out occasionally, they were not killed. This is considered a great favor.But the preferential treatment of captives is never free, and now these three have paid an extremely high price for the preferential treatment during this period of time: the dignified three princes of the empire were chased like dogs by the Ming army For one's own army, such a shame is ten times worse than death!Not only did they want to die, but the Qing army present also wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in!
Doduo hissed and howled: "Brother, help me! I don't want to die!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, Dorgon and Azige couldn't hold it anymore, and screamed at the top of their lungs: "Mynah, save me!"

The shrill howls resounded across the battlefield, and the Ming army let out a burst of laughter, while the Qing army bit their lips and bled, their cheeks were hot, as if a pair of invisible hands were slapping their faces and twitching left and right. It made their eyes stare!Just now they just let people play the scene of Chongzhen running away in order to hit the morale of the Ming army. They never expected that the Ming army would pick out three Qing princes for them and wantonly humiliate them in front of them. !

What does it mean to humiliate yourself?

That's it!

Ji Erhalang roared: "Ming dog! Killing people is nothing more than nodding their heads, what kind of skill is it to insult the captives like this!"

The Qing army then roared: "Insulting the prisoners like this is nothing!"

What responded to them was the unscrupulous laughter of the Ming army, and the miserable howling of the auspicious three treasures, which made the listener sad and tearful: "Mynah, save me! I beg you to save me—— "

At this moment, the Qing army was really embarrassed to the extreme!
Huang Taiji took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his chest, rode his horse out of the queue, and ran slowly towards the formation of the Heluo New Army.

Seeing this, Yang Menglong made a gesture, and the knights following the auspicious three treasures laughed loudly, threw the noose to trap the three poor guys, and dragged them back to their own army in smoke while they struggled and screamed. Yang Menglong He mobilized the white camel and faced Huang Taiji, looking down at this terrifying opponent - of course, the camel was much taller than the horse.

Two lifelong enemies, one is high-spirited and looks forward to being a hero; the other is calm and composed, but the anxiety and panic in his heart can no longer be concealed.

Their state is the most authentic portrayal of the battlefield in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
