Following Wang Zhi¡¯s order, the two square formations located in the front row of the formation began to move.
Today, Wang Zhi set up a large square formation. Each square formation contained a battalion of soldiers and horses, full of five thousand people. Each square formation had twenty rows, and each row had 250 people, forming a square. huge phalanx. When this phalanx slowly moved forward, the momentum was extremely astonishing.
If a phalanx of five thousand people is to march together, there must be a unified command. At this time, it is not like putting a headset in everyone's ear. If we rely on shouting and commanding, due to the position of the commander, , it is difficult for the order to be conveyed to so many people¡¯s ears at the first time. How on earth can 5,000 people execute the order and prohibit it?
This question stumped a large number of people at the beginning. Later, Pang Gang recalled that when he was watching TV and movies in another time and space, he saw that Western countries also used phalanx formations in modern wars. The method they used was Well, that¡¯s conducting with the beat of the drums.
Several drummers are placed around the phalanx. The drummers use the snare drums hanging on their bodies to direct the team to fight according to the commander's orders.
In this way, the sergeants in the phalanx no longer need to look around for the commander, but only need to listen to the drums to know what they should do.
At this time, the soldiers of the Manchu and Dahua sides were slowly approaching, both sides holding firecrackers in their hands. This was probably the first time in the world that the enemy and we used firearms on such a large scale.
Kong Youde stood next to the military formation and walked forward with the soldiers he had trained beside him. In the artillery battle just now, he suffered a big loss. Most of his more than one hundred general cannons were destroyed after a few rounds of bombardment. If Huang Taiji hadn't seen that the situation was not good and quickly ordered his gunmen to attack in time, I am afraid that his Han army flag would have continued. Under attack from the opponent's artillery fire.
Because of this, Kong Youde was afraid. These artillery pieces were the result of two years of hard work by Huang Taiji and him, but now they were completely destroyed. He could not afford such a responsibility, so he pinned his hopes on this attack, as long as he could inflict heavy damage on the Dahua Army. Huang Taiji would not be too harsh on him. After all, Kong Youde had worked hard for the Qing Dynasty over the years without any credit.
With the thought of making meritorious service and atonement, Kong Youde commanded 12,000 infantrymen under the Han banner to launch an all-out attack on the Dahua Army.
¡°Whoa, whoa, whoosh¡¡±
¡°Whoa, whoa, whoosh¡¡±
The two sides were photographing each other in formation. Move forward with firm steps. The Manchu Qing Dynasty has always attached great importance to the role of spies. During the many years of fighting against the Ming Dynasty, the Manchu Qing Dynasty sent countless spies and eyes and ears to the Ming Dynasty. Naturally, they did not dare to neglect Huang Taiji, the life and death enemy of Da Hua.
In addition, the Manchu and Qing Dynasties had not had to deal with Dahua once or twice, so the Manchu and Qing Dynasties also had some basic understanding of some of the combat characteristics of the Dahua Army, especially the formation of the Dahua Army. They also learned a few things about it. For example, they now focus on using fire gunmen as one of them, and even use drum beats to direct battles.
At this time, Wei Jiang, as the commander of the fifth legion, also followed the military formation. He couldn't help but sneered as he watched the Manchu gunmen marching in the same formation.
"It's really ridiculous that Handan is learning to walk. They are similar in appearance but not in spirit."
Wei Jiang looked down upon the formation of the Han military flags on the opposite side, among other things. That is, the firearms held by one's side are beyond the reach of the other party.
Several phalanxes from both sides were slowly approaching, and the distance had shortened to about three hundred steps. With a burst of fierce and rapid drumbeats, the advancing infantry of the Chinese Army stopped.
"Everyone stop!"
"Get the gun and load it!"
¡°Crash!¡±
Following the command, countless people took off their Mini rifles from their shoulders almost at the same time. The riflemen skillfully took out the fixed Mini bullets from their waists. It was stuffed into the barrel from the muzzle, and then a special iron bar was expertly poked into the base a few times to solidify it. Then the primer was put into the gunpowder bin, and finally the flint was checked. The whole process took less than twenty seconds.
Seeing that the Dahua Army in front was ready, with countless black guns pointed at itself, Kong Youde couldn't help but feel nervous. Although the Manchu Qing Dynasty could not imitate the Mini rifle, it did not hinder Kong Youde's use of the murderous weapon of the Dahua Army. Finished.
Kong Youde once tried that with this kind of rifle, people without armor or thin armor can be easily shot at a distance of 300 steps. If they are at a distance of 220 or 250 steps, they can easily shoot. Wear foot armor or vest with three layers of heavy armor.
For this kind of sharp firearm, Man Qing has been salivating for a long time, but no matter whatNo matter how much you probe, you can't find out the method of manufacturing this kind of rifle, especially the secret of drilling the rifling in the barrel, let alone the manufacturing process of the Mini bullet.
Looking at the Han army¡¯s infantrymen who were still advancing forward, Kong Youde became heartbroken and shouted loudly: ¡°Everyone, speed up and move forward!¡±
The rapid drumbeat became fierce again, and it came in bursts. This was the drumbeat that made the soldiers speed up.
Most of the soldiers of the Han Army Banner were former Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. For most of them, no matter who they served as soldiers, they were just making ends meet. In their hearts, they never had the concept of being loyal to anyone. , since it was Kong Youde who gave them a bowl of rice, then they would work hard for Kong Youde. In their eyes, the concepts of any country and nation are bullshit.
Now hearing the urging sound of drums, these soldiers gradually increased their speed and began to trot forward.
Seeing the Han army flag on the opposite side speeding up, Wei Jiang had a stern face and said nothing. He just took out the scimitar from his waist and shouted loudly: "The first row is ready, raise your gun!"
¡°Crash!¡±
The soldiers in the front row began to raise their rifles.
"put"
A loud and shrill shout rang out, followed by a burst of rhythmic drum beats.
"Bang bang bang"¡± Bursts of white smoke rose slowly along with countless dull gunshots, and countless gun barrels sprayed hot projectiles.
"Pfft, pfft"
The phalanx of Han military flags that was trotting forward seemed to have been punched in the chest by a giant. The soldiers running in the front row fell backward in various grotesque ways.
Countless blood flowers, large and small, emerged from the soldiers' bodies. Kong Youde clearly saw that not far from him, a big hole suddenly appeared in the back of a soldier, and blood splashed out like a fountain, splashing several soldiers around him.
Kong Youde, who suffered a sudden blow, did not panic, as if everything was expected, he still raised his knife and shouted: "Keep going, don't stop, everyone don't stop, if you rush seventy steps ahead, you will win." !¡±
The Han bannermen were well-trained. They followed Kong Youde's order and continued to rush forward despite the rain of bullets.
"Haha, what a good Kong Youde, the soldiers under his command are well trained." Although the infantry who saw the Han army flag were in chaos after being hit a few times by themselves, they did not collapse but continued to move forward. Wei Jiang sneered and ordered: "Don't stop, keep firing!"
"Bang bang bang"
Continuous gunfire rang out from the position, and bursts of white smoke continued to rise.
The situation of the Han army flag clearly appeared in Huang Taiji's eyes. He put down his telescope and said majestically to the messenger beside him: "Pass my decree and order Dorgon and Duoduo to attack from both wings immediately, Hauge, You take the Zhenglan flag and defend yourself!"
War is the best place for people to make progress. Based on his own experience, Huang Taiji quickly concluded that if his side could not continue to maintain its offensive posture, then today's sacrifice of the Han Army Flag would be in vain.
He thought for a while, then turned to Azig and others behind him and said: "Ajige, Daishan, you rush into the enemy's formation from both sides of the Han army flag with blue flags and red flags respectively. Be sure to disrupt their formation and not let them go." They shot and killed our troops so calmly. Abatai, lead the two Mongolian banners as a reserve team. If any troops are out of support, go immediately to support!" Huang Taiji's words were full of murderous intent.
"Cha!"
Facing the murderous Huang Taiji, no one dared to say anything. They just bowed to the ground and walked away.
Everyone left one by one. Even Hauge, the eldest brother, did not dare to say anything and left as if he could not wait.
Wang Zhi was unaware of Huang Taiji's deployment of troops and was still paying attention to the battle ahead.
¡°My lord, it¡¯s not good, the entire Tatar army has been dispatched!¡±
With an exclamation, Wang Zhi looked to both sides and discovered that there were already two groups of Qing troops rushing towards the formation from both sides.
Wang Zhi quickly swept his telescope and ordered: "It's the plain white flag and the white flag of the Tatars. He ordered the cavalry on both sides to quickly restrain them. The third legion divided into two square formations to meet them. You must resist it!¡±
"yes!"
Attacking from both sides were Dorgon and Duoduo's troops with white and white flags. After receiving Huang Taiji's order, Dorgon knew that he could no longer escape, so he and Duoduo attacked from both sides. They rushed over, but Dorgon still kept an eye on it. He ordered thousands of Baoyi troops under his banner, as well as Mongolian, Korean and other vassal armies to appear.?Charging, but he led the vests, infantry and other bannermen of Zhengbai Banner behind him.
When the two banners of Dorgon and Duduo also entered the battlefield, the war officially entered its climax. After a while, when the soldiers and horses of Azig and Daishan also joined the battle, the war entered a fever pitch. stage. The rising white smoke shrouded the surrounding mathematics battlefield.
For the Manchu Qing Dynasty, this is a battle related to the fate of the country. Whether the Manchu Qing Dynasty can continue to be strong or slump from now on, today
