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

Chapter 993 Desperate Battle 7
Jierhalang led the elite with the red flag, completely ignoring the Guan Ning army who was being chopped down by the Huaisi cavalry, and went straight to the artillery position of Xiaofang village, bypassing the battlefield like a Shura slaughterhouse.

The timing of the attack was just right, those terrible cannons had been silenced, and occasionally a row of thunderbolt shells flew out, and their accuracy was not as good as before. It was screwed out, but they didn't fight easily. The artillery, whether it was artillery or soldiers, was almost at its limit!

As long as these cannons can't be fired, it will be fine. Jierhalang is confident that he will break through the defense of the Heluo New Army with a swift charge, sweep the entire artillery position, hack all those damned artillerymen to death, and destroy the cannons... No, it can't Destroyed, should be seized!Huang Taiji said that even if they defeated Yang Menglong, the war is not over, and the next battle will only be more cruel, so it is very necessary to snatch these cannons, one cannon can support one or even two cows Elite!

The elite cavalry with red flags controlled the speed of their horses. Thousands of cavalry swept past in a mighty manner. Many corpses and wounded soldiers who were still screaming were trampled into the ground, turning into a pile of brown minced meat.Everyone's eyes shone with hatred. From the beginning of the Battle of Daling River, Xianghongqi had a blood feud with the Heluo New Army led by Yang Menglong, especially the Heluo New Army led by Yang Menglong, especially the Battle of Lushun , the banner owner Yue Tuo was beheaded by Yang Menglong, and half of the entire red flag was killed or injured. Every family was naked, and thousands of households were crying. Among the poor people whose heads were beheaded and sent to Beijing to show victory and then built into a Beijing temple were their fathers and uncles. , elder brother, younger brother, this kind of hatred has penetrated deep into the bone marrow, unless one party falls down and is killed without leaving a piece of armor, otherwise there will be no time to dissipate!They rushed straight towards the caliber of the guns, not caring that the grape bullets ejected by these flat-firing artillery could tear them to pieces, including men and horses!

The artillery position in Xiaofang Village is indeed reaching its limit. After half a day of fierce fighting, the artillery shells fired here have approached 300 rounds. This is a jaw-dropping number. Even after 160 years, it can be called relatively strong. The direct result of the continuous reloading and firing is that most of the artillerymen are almost exhausted, especially the artillery crew of the 85mm Thunderbolt Cannon. Except for the gunner who is responsible for correcting the coordinates, all of them stick out their tongues. Panting hard, tired like a dog.Don't blame them, if not blame them, blame these damn cannonballs for being too heavy. One round weighs eighty kilograms. How many rounds can you load?But now, the barrels of the 160mm howitzer and the 120mm thunderbolt cannon are hot enough to light a cigarette, and the 3mm thunderbolt cannon can still fire a few shots, but the rate of fire has dropped to a salvo every [-] minutes, and the long-term high-intensity shooting Let the gun barrel heat up and expand by more than one millimeter, and the hit rate of the shells fired plummets. If the original rate of fire is maintained, nine out of ten shells will hit the own head.It can be said that Xianghongqi chose the best time.

However, they ignored the dozens of rocket launchers that the Heluo New Army had placed on the position that had not fired.

Seeing the Qing cavalry rushing towards the flames like moths, the artillery commander nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, very active... I can understand that they are active in fighting, but I can't understand that they are so active in sending them to death. Is it really impatient to live?"

The captain of the combat engineering brigade said viciously: "Stop talking nonsense here, and fire quickly! This gang of Jian slaves is different from the gang of grandsons of the Guan Ning army. We really can't resist the thousands of cavalry rushing up!"

Although the artillery was assisted throughout the whole process, the battle was relatively easy, but under the repeated attacks of the Guanning Army regardless of the cost, the combat engineer brigade still suffered heavy casualties, and only about [-] people were left with rifles to aim and shoot. There were not many grenades left, and the trenches were filled with corpses and earth bags, which really made the Qing cavalry rush up, and they had no other choice but to die in battle.

The artillery commander said: "What's the hurry? Look at the signal!"

A red flare soared into the sky.

The artillery commander was full of energy and shouted: "The rocket launcher --- fire!!!"

The artillerymen who had been guarding the rocket launcher for a long time, and their eyes were burning with anxiety, lit the fuse without saying a word, and then ran away!

The flames moved rapidly on the fuse and soon burned out.Then, "咻咻咻咻咻咻", like a cobra spitting out its core, but a whistle that was a hundred times louder suddenly sounded, and the large white air wave and smoke spread like a hurricane, and most of the artillery positions were submerged in the blink of an eye.It was difficult to see in the billowing white smoke, and all one could see were the flames expanding continuously. Fire dragons rushed out at high speed, pulling out almost straight trajectories in the air and rushing towards the approaching people with terrifying whistling sounds. Qing army cavalry, the entire artillery field instantly turned into a boiling crater!
The war horse roared uneasily, and Jierhalang squinted his eyes at the ballistic trajectories that swooped towards him like fire pythons, gasped, and the hairs all over his body stood on end, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, his blood was almost frozen !The chill was so severe that his mind was frozen, leaving only one thought:
Damn Heluo's new army, how many gates have they thrown to bombard them!

Immediately afterwards, the exploding flames filled 90.00% of his field of vision.About one-tenth of the shells were lost due to violent tumbling, and hit the blank area of ​​the battlefield in vain, and even fell among their own people, blowing up their own people to pieces, but this is not a problem, a [-]-pack of rocket launchers , twelve rocket launchers can be fired at one time, and at this time there are sixteen such rocket launchers firing at the Qing army, and nearly two hundred rocket launchers smashed over in just a few seconds. What a terrifying density of firepower!The sounds of killing and screams on the battlefield disappeared, and what filled the eardrums was nothing but loud explosions, as if the sky full of thunder had converged on this small battlefield, and they all fell into the middle of the formation of cavalry inlaid with red flags. !Whether they are men or horses, the cavalry with red flags all have the feeling that they are standing in the crater, and the Doomsday volcano is rumbling and exploding right under their feet. Come out... There is no need to be hit directly, just the shock caused by the simultaneous explosion of more than a dozen rocket shells is enough to make a strong horse unsteady, fall to the ground and roll over. I'm afraid I can only close my eyes and wait to die!
A large group of cavalry let out howls full of fear, despair and unwillingness, and disappeared into the flying sand and flowing fire that soared into the sky.

Piles of soldiers were rolled up by the shock wave like leaves swept by a hurricane and thrown out more than ten meters away.

Countless war horses were either torn apart by shrapnel or shattered by the thunderous explosion, falling to the ground and wailing.

The majestic cavalry charge scene turned into a purgatory of blood and fire in the blink of an eye.

The Xianghong Banner was once again wiped out by the regiment... No, only the cavalry was wiped out by the regiment, and thousands of infantry remained behind.Now these thousands of infantrymen stared at the blood-stained flames on the battlefield with their eyes cracked.Huang Taiji was also stunned. He stayed on his horse like a stone statue, staring dully at the piles of scorched-smelling minced meat not far away, watching a warrior of the Qing Dynasty form an explosion. Rolling and screaming in the sea of ​​flames, his heart seemed to be roughly torn apart.His complexion turned livid, and then he swelled red, his chest rose and fell sharply like a bellows, and he couldn't catch his breath.He punched himself hard in the chest, poof!A bloody arrow spurted out, and his complexion turned pale immediately.He was trembling all over, raised his finger tremblingly and pointed at the purgatory-like battlefield, and let out a wild howl: "My warrior! My youth! Ah——"

No one would care about the hero's wail, and everyone was stunned by the terrifying power of the rocket launcher.

Yang Menglong grinned, so how many times more troops do you have?So how brave is your army?You have thousands of troops, I have rocket launchers!I want to see if your sea of ​​people can beat my sea of ​​fire!Seeing the huge commotion in the Qing army's phalanx, he knew the time was right, raised his horse and yelled: "One more round of rocket launchers! Lancers, chasseurs, prepare to charge!"

The majestic horn sounded, and the rocket launchers fired again. The shells formed a fiery red waterfall, flying over the heads of the fighting soldiers and pouring into the middle of the Qing army's formation. Immediately, a large number of Qing army soldiers were torn apart by flying flying objects on the ground. Submerged by the sand flow and fire, the originally dense phalanx became torn to pieces like a wheat field blown by strong winds. Everyone was screaming, and the injured soldiers were crying, calling the officer's name, calling themselves Brother's name.There was no time for them to reorganize their order. Amidst the sound of horns, a dark cloud wrapped in lightning and thunder swept over. At the front were [-] lancers. They lined up in three rows, [-] cavalrymen. The half-meter-long sword-shaped blade is as stable as a steel bar protruding from a concrete pile, pointing straight ahead. Two black streamers are flying in the air, as if they may put a noose around the enemy's neck at any time.Behind them were [-] Chasseurs, arranged in five teams, holding [-] Miao knives nearly five feet long and pointing forward. Everyone's movements were so standard, as if they were pasted and copied. generally.The earth trembled under their rolling iron hooves, and the sky seemed to be dyed with a gloomy color. The sharp blades that the Heluo New Army had painstakingly sharpened were finally unsheathed. The four thousand cavalry were like hammers carrying the power of thunder. The overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai hit the Qing army's head, which had already fallen into confusion!
Catherine, who was watching the battle from behind, was dazzled, crossed herself on her chest, and muttered to herself, "It's an epic picture...I'm afraid that such a scene can only be seen in myths and epics, right?"

In the eyes of the Countess of Venice, who still retains too many romantic fantasies about war, this scene is undoubtedly extremely gorgeous and spectacular, an epic picture that only top painters can paint. It was so terrifying, even if the gates of hell were opened and millions of evil spirits poured out across the field and rushed towards them, they would not be so frightened and desperate!The heavy cavalry of the Heluo New Army has always been their nightmare. Now, when they are bombarded by rockets, the nightmare has come again. Just like before, they are still helpless!

Huang Taiji's eyes were so red that he almost burst into tears. He stared at the heavy cavalry of the Heluo New Army that was charging towards him at high speed. At first glance, he saw that extremely familiar figure: he was riding a tall white camel, wearing a Heavy armor, holding a lance, the four slender legs of the white camel spread its hooves, and the speed of sprinting was much faster than that of a war horse!A female general in a red robe galloped side by side with him, her red cloak flew up like a banner, galloping like lightning.Behind these two men were the lancers who had brought humiliation to the Qing army and suffered the bitter consequences of defeat time and time again. They rode on unusually tall horses, silently, and their eyes were as cold as lightning, like fast-moving iron walls.Huang Taiji let out an almost shrill howl: "Yang Menglong——" He choked, pulled out his long sword, and rushed over on horseback.Now he no longer thinks about anything else, only one thought remains: to chop up this guy who has failed him and is about to destroy the empire he built with his own hands!Even if they die together, they will not hesitate!

The rein was held tightly by someone, it was Hauge.This man also died, a piece of shrapnel slid across his cheek, leaving a scar with deep bone visible.He called: "Father, you can't go, you can't go!"

Huang Taiji roared: "Go away! I'm going to kill that evildoer! I won't lose to him, I will never lose to him!" That expression turned a bit crazy.

Hauge shouted in despair: "The Guan Ning army has begun to flee. We are hopeless in this battle. Let's withdraw!"

Huang Taiji turned his head and saw that Guan Ningjun threw the "Zu" and "Wu" banners everywhere, and 3 or [-] people flew up and down with two soles, and collapsed like a mountain.The supervising team of the Qing army swung their sabers desperately to kill the deserters, and they were knocked over before they could cut a few.The musketeers volleyed past, and the rout fell down, but it was useless. Before they changed their formation, the rout was trampled into meat paste.The new army of Heluo pressed forward across the board, countless officers and soldiers of the Guan Ning army were fleeing in panic, and countless voices were yelling in terror, and countless voices converged into a thunder: "Defeated! Defeated!"

Huang Taiji yelled hoarsely: "Don't run away! Stop here, don't run away——" Riding his horse, he was about to rush towards the routs and kill them. Half crazy.Hauge gritted his teeth, and struck Huang Taiji's helmet with a swipe of the spear, causing stars to burst out in front of his eyes. He lay on the saddle and lost consciousness for a while.Hauge roared at the white-armored soldiers who were dumbfounded: "Protect the emperor and retreat!!!"

Thousands of white-armored soldiers hurriedly fled towards Beijing to protect Huang Taiji as if they had just woken up from a dream.The cavalry of the Zhenghuang Banner followed closely. This battle was meaningless. Now their most important task was to escort Huang Taiji back to Beijing. As long as Huang Taiji can return to Beijing alive, they still have hope!

After doing all this, the iron cavalry of the Heluo New Army was not far away from the Qing army.Without saying a word, Hauge walked to the front of the array with a spear in his hand, stuck the spike at the end of the spear into the ground, pointed the tip of the spear at the horse's neck, and roared loudly: "Come on, Yang Menglong! Come and fight to the death with me!" !!!”

Seeing this, the officers and soldiers of the Xianghuang Banner, whose military spirit had been scattered, let out a howl, turned and returned to their original positions, pointed their spears at the neck of the horse that was rushing over at high speed, and the archers pulled their bows away, heading towards the horse that was already close at hand. The lancers fired heavy arrows.They also know that the steel armor and helmets of the Heluo New Army are indestructible, even if they are pushed to six or seven meters, they will not be able to shoot arrows, but they are still shooting arrows desperately, and they want to tell the roaring guns in this way Cavalry, even if they have been defeated, they will fight to the death!

The Eight Banners of Manchuria should not be humiliated lightly!
