Chapter 17 Assault
Seeing that the battle of the officer's army battalion is in full swing, and the sound of the officers' and army's artillery has completely stopped, even the arrows are almost no longer fired. A large number of soldiers have begun to break into the officer's army camp. A group of tartar generals showed a relaxed expression, all thinking that the end of the war is just around the corner, but also At this time, Dorgom, who was paying full attention to the situation of the battlefield, suddenly seemed to hear a shout of killing from the west from the noisy battlefield. He was slightly surprised, so he turned his head and looked to the west of the battlefield. As a result, he and Yue Tuo suddenly stared, as if they couldn't believe his eyes. The scene you can see.
A cavalryman suddenly held a scarlet Xingtian flag and jumped out of the earth beam a few miles away from the west, like a sharp knife, stabbing the battlefield. When he didn't wait for him to come to his senses, he saw that more scarlet flags began to appear on the earth beams, and a blue and black stream of people was like The tide passed the earth beam and appeared on the battlefield. The blade pointed straight to the back of the Qing army that was attacking Lu Xiangsheng's battalion.
"What's going on?" This was almost the first thought that flashed in the minds of the Qing army generals such as Dorgo and Yue Tuo.
But they quickly reacted, because even pigs could see that the people and horses that suddenly appeared on the battlefield were definitely not their friendly forces. Although they were several miles apart, they still felt the evil spirit from the sudden people and horses, and their spearheads pointed straight to the front. The Qing army besieged Lu Xiangsheng's battalion.
Originally, Dorgun was in a good mood, because it had been two hours since the siege of Lu Xiangsheng's battalion in the morning. Under the repeated rotation of the Qing soldiers of each flag, Lu Xiangsheng's battalion was already in danger. Originally, the Ming Army's battalion was often bombarded at the beginning. Attacking their Qing army, but at this time, the Ming army's cannons had long been dumb, and even fewer and fewer arrows were fired. It can be seen that at this time, the Ming army under Lu Xiangsheng's command had already been exhausted.
There are only a few Hongyi cannons in the Qing army that are still roaring from time to time on the battlefield. These Hongyi cannons can be said to be unscrupulously bombarding Lu Xiangsheng's battalion. Every round of guns hit, one or two of cars on the edge of the Ming military camp will be smashed into pieces, accompanied by the broken arms of some Ming army. At this time, the Ming army can only fight at the edge of the camp and the Qing soldiers who attacked the battalion with knives and guns in their hands. Many places have begun to show signs of collapse. In Dorgun and Yue Tuo's view, it only takes a moment for them to attack the Ming army's battalion and completely solve this group of Ming army. .
However, at this time, such a soldier and horse brazenly broke into the battlefield, obviously coming to rescue the Ming army of Lu Xiangsheng, and the passers-by who came were also an elite division at a glance. Their flag was clear, the team was orderly, and exuded a strong murderous atmosphere, and their military appearance was even It is much more than any Ming army they have ever seen, and the wise man knows at a glance that it will never be a weak brigade.
And from the flag, Dorcon and others can see the origin of this team, and the three words of Xing Tianjun jumped into their minds.
"Xinty Army? How did they come? What did the whistle ride eat? Why didn't you find them approaching in advance? Even if Dorgom was furious, he asked a series of questions.
But at this time, no one can answer his questions at all, because the appearance of the Xingtian army was too sudden, and as soon as their leading cavalry appeared, they pointed the finger directly at the back of the Han soldiers of the Qing army in the southwest corner of Chen Bu, which was the place where the Qing army's Chen Bu Hongyi cannon. The cavalry goal of the Xingtian Army is very clear, that is, to get rid of these red cannons of the Qing army first.
"Quick! Drop the cavalry to intercept them and protect the cannons in red!" Although Yue Tuo was as surprised as Dorcup, he was the first to react and immediately shouted at Dorcup.
Dorcon was also unable to figure out why the Xingtian Army suddenly appeared on the battlefield at this time. As for the matter of accountability, he could only talk about it after this battle, so he hurriedly ordered to mobilize a cavalry in his flag, immediately intercept the cavalry of the Xingtian Army, and sent an order to the southwest. The Han soldiers in the direction arrayed to prevent the Xingtian cavalry from raiding their position of the cannons in red.
So the whole battlefield suddenly seemed a little chaotic. A group of Qing cavalry dressed in white cotton armor and with white flags immediately set out, desperately urged the war horses and cut off the cavalry of the Xing Tian Army.
However, the cavalry of the Xingtian Army came very fast, and the position of their attack was also relatively close to the Qing army's red artillery position. In addition, they also started earlier. Although Dornon ordered to send cavalry to intercept them, it could not repel their speed.
So Dorgun and Yue Tuo could only watch the cavalry of the Xingtian Army like a flood, rushing straight to Chen Bu's Han soldiers in the southwest of the Ming Army Camp. Although the Han soldiers with black-edged and white flags found the Xing Tianjun raiding their backs and hurriedly wanted to turn the gun to fight. However, the Hongyi cannon used by the tartar is extremely bulky. The gun weighs more than 2,000 catties, and even more than 3,000 catties. Although it is very powerful and can be used to attack the city, it is very difficult to transport and release. There are hundreds of people to serve each gun. Suddenly, it is it is necessary to let them turn the muzzle. It's an easy thing. A large group of Han soldiers surrounded these cannons and were in a hurry. At the same time, they had to mobilized troops to line up to face them, but before they were ready, the Xingtian cavalry of more than a thousand people had killed them.
The Han soldiers of the Qing army began to shoot arrows and try to stop the attack of the Xingtian army cavalry in a hurry, but the cavalry of the Xingtian army were not vegetarian. They can be said to be the elites of the elite accumulated by the Xingtian army over the years. Most of them were skilled in equestrianism, and even a group of them were Guan Ning Tieqi, who was under the command of Nian Zu Kuan and Zu Da Le, returned to the Xing Tian Army. After returning to the command, they received rigorous retraining, which has made it an extremely elite cavalry. This Han soldier fought in a hurry and could not stop their offensive at all. A large group of cavalry was approaching the Han soldiers of the Qing army. After that, they immediately began to shoot bows and arrows on the backs of the horses or throw out the flying knives and axes or javelers in their hands.
These Han soldiers, who had not been able to finish the array, did not expect that the sudden enemy cavalry would be so fierce. Even if they were turned over, their counterattack was only to overturn more than a dozen Xingtian army's horses. In just an instant, Situ Liang led his command. The cavalry battalion entered them, and more than a thousand cavalry companies broke into the Han army with horses, which knocked the Qing Han soldiers into a mess.
After throwing the flying axes and javelers in their hands, the cavalry immediately put on long guns and put the long guns or halberd under their armpits. With the help of the running of the war horses, they easily poked the sharp long guns into the bodies of the Qing soldiers in front of them.
And these cavalry did not draw their guns. After stabbing the enemy, they directly threw away the long gun and removed the huge impact. They threw away the long gun as a disposable. Then they pulled out the long saber at their waist and vigorously cut off the enemy soldiers around them.
The huge impact of the cavalry on the battlefield was fully performed by them. After the cavalry broke into the enemy with their horses, even if they dispersed the Han soldiers in the Qing army, the fierce cavalry began to slaughter them like cutting melons and vegetables, but their A group of people were not in a hurry to kill the enemy, but rushed straight to the huge and heavy Hongyi cannons of the Qing soldiers. They lit the torches in their hands one by one and threw them at the gunpowder barrel next to the Qing soldiers' Hongyi cannon. Some people even threw several jars full of fire oil. After the fire oil tank was broken, a large amount of fire oil immediately splashed in all directions, stained with a little spark, and immediately got up. Soon, a few Qing soldiers' Hongyi cannons ignited a raging fire around them, which scared the Qing soldiers' gunners to flee one by one.
After these cavalry got it, they didn't dare to stay. They immediately plucked their horses and ran one by one, shouting as they ran: "Get back! It's going to explode!"
So Situ Liang immediately turned the horse's head and shouted, "Get out!" Then he led the brothers of the cavalry battalion to kill and disperse the Han soldiers among the Qing soldiers, and began to leave the battlefield quickly.
Before they ran far away, they heard a huge roar behind them. The gunpowder barrels placed next to the Hongyi cannon began to be detonated by the fire, and they exploded one after another. Each barrel of gunpowder used by Qingbing was filled with dozens of kilograms of black gunpowder, and many gunpowder barrels were stacked. Together, it was detonated almost at the same time, and thousands of kilograms of gunpowder were finally detonated, emitting a huge roar and firelight. A huge mushroom cloud suddenly rose on the flat ground. Even those Han soldiers who did not have time to escape were blown up by huge waves. Even several Qing army's Hongyi cannons, thousands of The body of Jin's gun was also lifted up, and the turret was smashed in all directions even if it was scattered.
The huge explosion was like a hurricane blowing on the flat ground, rushing around quickly. Some slow soldiers were blown up and fell heavily to the ground. Even several cavalry of the Xingtian Army who ran slowly were lifted off their horses and rolled to the ground.
Situ Liang scolded, "Grandma! How much gunpowder did this Tart put in it? Grandma almost blew it up together! Haha! It's a pleasure! Go back and meet the general! Hurry up!"
At this time, the battalion of cavalry sent by Dorgun was led by a Jia La Zhangjing. He urged the war horse like his life and tried to catch up with the Xingtian army cavalry that attacked them. However, they slowed down and could only watch the cavalry of the Xingtian army disperse the artillery of their Han soldiers. Originally They also wanted to catch up to help the battle and fight with this group of cavalry of the Xingtian Army, but when they rushed to the artillery array, they did not catch up with the cavalry of the Xingtian Army, but instead caught up with the explosion of gunpowder in the artillery array.
When the big explosion occurred, they were closer to the explosion point than the cavalry of the Xingtian Army. As a result, dozens of cavalry were overturned to the ground by the huge explosion.
Even the Taranian cavalry who were not overturned by the air waves on the spot, the war horses were also shocked by the huge explosion and began to jump around one after another. They no longer obeyed the calls of the Taranian cavalry on their backs, which suddenly made this team of Taranian cavalry chaotic, which also made them lose the opportunity to chase the cavalry of the Xingtian Army.
