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

Chapter 992 Desperate Battle 6
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Screeches sounded one after another, and the advancing Guan Ning army let out bursts of horrified screams.This damn lightning cannon has simply become their nightmare, chasing them all the way to blow up, every shot hits a large number of them, and many soldiers of the Guan Ning Army were blown to pieces , that shattered corpse forcibly paved a road of blood hundreds of meters long!Seeing too much flesh and blood flying all over the place, they were terrified. When they heard the whistling sound of thunderbolt shells flying, their scalps became numb, and their entire hearts shrank to the size of a ping-pong ball.Now the cannonballs were coming again, and everyone was pale, praying that the cannonballs would not fall beside them.The Liaoxi general is right not to fight to the death with the Heluo new army. Fighting with such an army is like a duel with death. Death follows you everywhere, and most of the time you can't fight back!

The shells were not aimed intentionally, and fell with quite random screams, exploding into orange fireballs, many people were torn to pieces, and their clothes and armor pieces flew around.Quite a number of soldiers of the Guanning Army who had been spattered with blood and minced flesh turned pale, and their Adam's apple wriggled up and down, wanting to cry but unable to vomit. This slaughterhouse-like tragedy almost made them collapse.But the Qing army blocked behind, and those who dared to retreat immediately shot with muskets and hacked with sabers. They did not dare to have the idea of ​​​​running away, so they could only continue to bear the ruthless bullets and shells of the Heluo New Army with their flesh and blood!

Zu Dashou threw himself in front of Huang Taiji, kowtowed repeatedly, and begged loudly: "Your Majesty, let them withdraw! If the fight continues like this, all of my Guan Ning disciples will die!"

Wu Xiang was also in tears, crying bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, for the sake of my Wu family's loyalty to the Qing Dynasty, let Yi Ding Tuqi withdraw! They can't attack at all, they can't attack!"

boom! ! !
A 160mm thunderbolt shell fell, and a blank area with a radius of 20 meters was added to the dense phalanx of the Guanning Army. The soldiers of the Guanning Army in this blank area were either turned into blood and mud or were blasted by the shock wave. Throwing it high, it becomes thousands of incarnations.Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang visibly trembled, and kowtowed harder, their heads were broken and blood flowed out.Huang Taiji just watched coldly, until the two of them couldn't move, he said slowly: "As long as the life of your Guan Ning disciples is your life, the life of my warriors is not your life?"

The cold tone was like a bucket of arctic ice water pouring down their heads. Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang trembled all over, their blood almost froze. They raised their heads and looked at Huang Taiji in fear. The face of the fat man who was treated with the courtesy of a national scholar was so ferocious, like a demon from hell.

Huang Taiji slowly raised his horsewhip and pointed at the purgatory-like battlefield. His voice was not loud, but in the ears of these two, it sounded like a thunderclap from the sky, a thunderbolt, which broke their livers and gallbladders: "This battle is related to the life and death of the Qing Dynasty. , once defeated, the Qing Dynasty will cease to exist. We banner people, you Liaoxi clansmen, everyone, will be torn to pieces by the Ming army! In order to win this battle, I must put every soldier, every weapon Use knives, no matter how many casualties, Yang Menglong must be killed! If the Guanning army is wiped out, my Eight Banners army will fill in; if the Eight Banners army is wiped out, I will fill in myself. My love, your duty is to command the battle, not to kneel on the ground and kowtow like a wretch! Get up for me, and if you do such a thing that disturbs the morale of the army, I will never tolerate it!"

Wu Xiang and Zu Dashou stood up tremblingly, and there was no trace of blood on their faces. They had never been so frightened and regretted before!Huang Taiji has made it very clear that he wants to use the flesh and blood of the Guan Ning Army to pave the way to victory for the Eight Banners Army. For this reason, he will not hesitate to wipe out all the Guan Ning Army!The emperor's will is like a collapsed mountain, no one can disobey it, under Huang Taiji's cold gaze, these two veterans chose to obey, but their intestines are full of regret... If I had known this, I would not have beaten them to death Choose to cooperate with Huang Taiji!Let the Ming army destroy Jianzhou, and then the Guanning army's status plummets, so what?So what if the emperor settled accounts with them after the Ming army won?No matter how hard it is to settle accounts after autumn, it is better than being pushed into the battlefield as cannon fodder, and all cronies and clan children are all dead, right?

Huang Taiji, you are cruel!
After paying a heavy price, the Guan Ning Army finally approached 50 meters, raised the rifle in their hands in a mess, aimed at the Heluo New Army and opened fire, the gunshots sounded like popping beans, and large pieces of lead bullets flew by like crows. Soaring, thick and choking.A muffled groan came from the Heluo New Army's phalanx, and the soldier who had been shot collapsed.But very few fell down. Guan Ningjun’s muskets still hit shot puts, without rifling, and the quality of gunpowder was poor. They fired at a distance of 50 meters. The hits all depended on faith, and there was nothing to say about those who were hit.The Heluo New Army responded with a volley unceremoniously, knocking down a large group of musketeers who were changing formations. This accuracy and lethality are more than ten times stronger than those of the Guan Ning Army!
Xue Siming said: "Grenade—throw it!"

Immediately, a large row of sizzling and smoking grenades flew over, landed five or sixty meters away, and fell into the formation of Guan Ning's army. Then there was a violent and extremely dense explosion, and Guan Ning's army was stunned. Ning Jun's screams and cries were earth-shattering, almost overwhelming the loud noise of the grenade explosion. More than 60 grenades exploded at the same time, and Guan Ning's army was completely submerged in the terrifying barrage. The scene was indescribably terrifying, and the shrill screams were enough to move the stone people.However, the hearts of the Heluo New Army were harder than rocks. It was useless no matter how heart-rending the Guan Ning Army was. They would never stop before destroying the enemy. So, the second row of grenades was thrown over!

There was another explosion like rolling thunder, and flesh and blood flew everywhere.The killing radius of wooden-handled grenades is seven meters. What would it look like if thousands of them rained down into a dense formation?You can imagine the wailing of Guan Ningjun that resounded through the world.

Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang trembled all over, closed their eyes in pain, and big tears rolled down.

Guan Ning's army was completely blown away.Originally accepting the tactical arrangement, musketeers and crossbowmen accounted for 2% of this wave of attacks. They would use their absolute superiority in strength to launch large numbers of rounds to kill and injure the Heluo New Army, opening a gap. Then the pikemen would press forward and use four Rice spears slaughtered these soldiers armed only with bayonets.However, it was not until now that they realized that they had no chance to fire. Grenades flew over like raindrops. The time it took them to fire one shot was enough for the other side to throw four or five grenades, and they exploded in a large area. How could this be fun!I don't know who shouted: "We can't win, run away!" Guan Ningjun, who was blown out of his body, immediately retreated like a tide. They really had enough!However, they invested too much troops. With more than [-] people gathered together, it was not easy to retreat. Under the crowd, many people were squeezed down, trampling on each other, and screams continued, while grenades continued. Fly over and cut them down in pieces!
Huang Taiji made a gesture, and a row of Qing army musketeers pointed their muskets at the retreating Guan Ning army, and ruthlessly pulled the trigger.Flames flashed across the chest, and Guan Ning's army fell down a large piece like cutting wheat. The leading Qing army general sternly said: "Who retreats without authorization, die!"

Out of fear of the Qing army, Guan Ningjun stopped hesitantly.

It turned out that they immediately paid a terrible price for their hesitation.When the Heluo New Army issued an order, three rows of musketeers raised their guns at the same time, took aim, and opened fire. There was a thunderstorm, and several rows of Guanning Army soldiers were cut down like carrots, and blood flowed into rivers.Then three rows of musketeers raised their guns at the same time, and the thunder exploded again, and thousands of lives were swept into the pockets of the god of death.After these two rounds, Xue Siming yelled: "Bayonet assault!" Six thousand soldiers of the new army drew out their daggers in unison and put them on with a thud. , holding a bayonet and pressing towards Guan Ningjun at a speed of 88 steps per minute!At the same time, there was a violent roar from the artillery position of Xiaofang Village. More than a dozen shotguns and all the pull-type landmines arranged at the front of the position rang at the same time. Didn't the Guan Ning army charging with red eyes be blown up all over the sky? It was just being smashed into a pile of pieces of meat by the shotgun. The tragic scene shocked the Guan Ning army, and they stopped involuntarily.

Then they heard the sound of the desolate horn, the sound of horseshoes was like rolling thunder, and a large cloud of sand and dust rose into the sky, covering them like dark clouds driven by a strong wind.

cavalry!

Four or five thousand cavalry lined up in a neat formation, pointing their sabers obliquely at them, and rushed over!
All the officers looked at each other in horror, and they all saw the despair on each other's faces.The cavalry of the Heluo New Army has always been famous for their fierce impact. Even if their army formation is well-organized, they may not be able to stop the charge of so many horse cavalry soldiers. Many casualties!

The Huaisi cavalry were ordered to attack. At the beginning, their formation looked decent, but after running a few hundred meters, it became a bit chaotic.But it doesn't matter, their formation is always so tight, knees together, and with the riding skills honed since childhood, they always control the speed of the horses and accelerate slowly. When there are only more than 200 meters away from Guan Ning's army, Guan Ning When the army hurriedly started to set up their formation and raised their crossbows, these fierce cavalry laughed ferociously and pierced the horses' belly with their spurs. The horses went crazy with pain and charged with all their strength. They were as fast as lightning and unstoppable. More than 4000 Huaisi cavalry were like rushing. The black tide on the land is surging, rolling, and moving forward inexorably!

Yi Ding Tuqi was the first to choose to escape.In this tough battle, they shed too much blood and suffered heavy casualties, and they were no longer able to withstand such a fierce attack.

The crossbowmen fired their arrows in despair.It's not that they are braver than the cavalry, they really can't run away from the cavalry, and now they will die faster if they run away!

The crossbow arrows flew by, and the charging Huaisi cavalry fell down a row, but no one cared, and the sprint was even more fierce!Before the crossbowmen of the Guanning Army could load their second arrows, they were knocked over by the charging horses like cannonballs, and horseshoes the size of bowls stomped hard on them, killing them instantly. They became splatters of flesh.The Huaisi cavalry slammed into the Guanning army's phalanx with powerful kinetic energy. They didn't need to swing their sabers.
On the front of the battlefield, [-] new Heluo troops who launched a bayonet assault also crashed into the middle of the Guanning Army like a wall, raised their sharp military thorns, and pierced the chaotic Guanning Army soldiers' chests or backs. , brought out a stream of blood arrows, those who were stabbed did not realize the pain and covered the blood-spitting wounds, their eyes widened and they fell down weakly, and pairs of combat boots stepped on their twitching bodies, The bloody bayonet stabbed out again, stabbing down a large area.There are no dazzling moves, no cool moves, just simple, lightning-fast stabs. The moves are very simple, but there are very few people who can block them.Those who are lucky enough to block a blow can breathe a sigh of relief and relax for half a second, because the tactics of bayonet assault can be summed up in three words: press over!The Heluo New Army didn't have time to stab everyone in front of them. If they missed a hit, they stopped attacking and kept moving forward. Anyway, there were plenty of targets.But those who recovered their lives could only be thankful for half a second at most, because there are still two rows of knife walls waiting for them!Horrible massacres swept across the entire battlefield, and Guan Ning's army retreated screaming in fear. This time, no matter how many musketeers Huang Taiji sent, they could not stop them from being defeated.

However, Huang Taiji showed his first smile after the battle, and shouted: "Their main force has finally moved! I am not afraid of their fierce charge, but I am afraid of them squatting in place! Jierhalang, you immediately lead the army with the red flag All the cavalry assault their artillery positions, and grab those artillery pieces! Hauge, get your banners inlaid with yellow, and don't let the routs break through the formation! After the new Heluo army breaks through the formation of the Guanning army Attack immediately, and give them a fatal blow when their physical strength is exhausted!"

The two generals agreed in unison. Jierhalang drew his long sword and rushed to the front of the red flag formation and shouted loudly. Immediately, thousands of red flag cavalry leapt out with their swords drawn and went straight to the Xiaofang Village battlefield.The yellow flags were in full formation, driving back the retreating Guan Ning army and even stabbing them to death, waiting for the opportunity to attack!
The moment of decisive battle is approaching.

It's just that Huang Taiji didn't expect that several miles away, several scouts of the Qing army with sharp arrows on their armor leaves were rushing towards this side desperately, and behind them, there were Qiang and Tibetan cavalrymen with disheveled hair and shirtless arms. They are chasing fiercely, and many of them have heads with pigtails of money hanging from their necks, all contributed by this team of scouts...
