The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 290 Battle in the Wasteland

As the drumming of dozens of cowhide drums became more intense and rapid, the speed of the Qing army's charge gradually accelerated. At the end, more than 1 infantry and cavalry of the former army were all galloping with all their strength.

They roared wildly, with hideous faces, holding the weapons in their hands tightly, trying to use their shouts to dispel their fear and encourage their courage.

The momentum of more than 1 people running with all their strength is indeed very huge, which makes people shake their hearts and make their blood boil.Even the ground seemed to be trembling slightly.

The turbulent power aroused by the Qing army formed a huge sound wave and swept away in all directions. The birds living in the dense forest around the wasteland were frightened, and tens of thousands of birds fled screaming and fleeing.Even some wild animals escaped from the dense forest in fright, running in all directions.

The more than 1 people in the former army are all troops from the Eight Banners of Han Dynasty, which is also the practice of the Qing army in combat.

In every battle formation, the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty will be the first to serve as cannon fodder, followed by the Eight Banners of Mongolia, and finally the Eight Banners of Manchuria will hold the formation.As long as the Eight Banners of Han and Eight Banners of Mongolia are defeated and flee, they will catch up behind and kill the defeated soldiers to stop the formation.

The mighty Qing army charged forward, but the Jiang family's army still did not sound the drums of the charge, and it was still as silent as a mountain.

Many soldiers who faced this kind of [-]-strong army battle for the first time, mainly those soldiers adapted from the Ming army and recruited from the common people, many of them turned pale, their bodies began to tremble, and they felt that their hearts were shaking. jump out.

Many people began to feel their palms and feet sweating, their foreheads sweating, and some even felt that their crotch was wet and their legs were weak, and they couldn't help but have an urge to turn around and run away.

But three months of rigorous training made them fully aware of the harsh military discipline, so no one dared to take real action.

The most important thing is that the veterans of the Jiang family army beside them, that is, the veterans of the direct descendants who came out of the fortress base, all of them were expressionless, as calm as a mountain, and there seemed to be no nervousness or fear on their faces.

The veteran's composure calmed down the new recruits, and they kept cheering themselves up in their hearts, trying to keep themselves on par with the veterans.

At this time, we can see the benefits of Jiang Chuan's advocacy of mixing old and new.With veterans leading them, these new recruits will have role models and fear. Even if they are afraid, strict military discipline and countless trainings will allow them to maintain their formation.

If the entire team were all recruits, or most of them were recruits, then only one person would take the lead in escaping, which would soon cause a chain reaction, causing more recruits to flee, and the entire Jiang family army would be in chaos before the battle up.

The whirring of the ox horn changed its tone at this time, from the previous long tune to a short tune. Everyone was shocked, adrenaline was secreted rapidly, and they glared at the Qing army who was about to collide with their own formation .

This is the sound of horns ready to fight.

Finally, the front lines of the two armies collided completely. To be precise, the vanguard of the Qing army bumped into the forward defense line of the Jiang family army.

The Qing army rushing to the front was blocked by the continuous shield wall, and the momentum of the charge stopped immediately. Many people directly ran into the death forest composed of long spears and halberds, and their bodies were instantly penetrated.Some people died quickly, while others still shouted frantically, smashing the iron shield in front of them with their knives and guns in vain.

The front of the Jiang family army's formation was also shrunk back by such a violent impact from the Qing army. The soldiers in the front row were pushed back, and the entire formation's originally impenetrable line of defense was suddenly knocked loose. .

Some Qing troops took advantage of the situation and wanted to rush into the formation through the exposed openings, while the Qing troops behind saw the opportunity, so they rushed forward even more frantically, squeezing the Qing troops in front, intending to expand those openings. bigger.

The soldiers of the Jiang family army also tried their best to kill and drive out the Qing army who broke into the formation, but the Qing army wanted to rush in with all their strength.

On the front of the entire front, which is more than 1000 steps wide, small groups of Qing troops broke into more than a dozen openings. The two sides greeted each other with swords, guns, swords and halberds. Small-scale melees of life and death.

Seeing that the people in front had an opportunity to take advantage of it, the Qing army behind rushed forward even harder, trying to break through the frontal formation of Jiang's army in one fell swoop.

Dorgon, who was in the rear, was holding a binocular telescope in his hand to observe the situation on the battlefield. After seeing that the front line of defense of Jiang's army had been shaken, he smiled slightly and ordered the Mongolian Eight Banners to follow suit.

With the more and more urgent battle drums, the Han Eight Banners fighting in front became more and more intense, and the Mongolian Eight Banners behind also shouted frantically and rushed towards the two wings of Jiang's army, brandishing their swords.

Jiang's army's defense line seemed to be on the verge of collapse at this moment, as if it would collapse at any moment.

On the one hand, the infantry officers on the front line were beheading the rushing Qing soldiers in front of them, and on the other hand, they were directing their subordinates to maintain their formation.

After the Qing army fell down, the people behind stepped on his body regardless and continued to charge forward.

After someone fell in the Jiang family army formation, the soldiers behind dragged the body of the same robe out of the gap in the queue and handed it over to the people behind, and then someone quickly filled the empty space and continued to fight with the Qing army.

Both sides are red-eyed, one side is trying to break through the defense line, and the other is desperately trying to maintain the defense line.

The Qing army was like waves in the sea, hitting Jiang's army's defense line wave after wave.The Jiang family's army was like a rock on the seashore, being submerged by the waves time and time again, but when the waves receded, they remained steadfast.

Seeing the infantry brothers in front fighting bloody battles with the enemy, the soldiers of various long-range arms behind the infantry still did not receive the order to attack. Many people even couldn't help but turned their heads to look at the banner of the Chinese army.

Standing on the cloud cart, Jiang Chuan looked calm, but his heart was already turbulent. He held a binoculars in one hand and quietly observed the situation on the battlefield, and clenched his other hand tightly. Drenched in sweat.

This is the first time he personally commanded such a large-scale battle.One mistake, the whole army may be defeated.

Although the front line looked precarious, there was always a voice in his heart telling himself: It's not the best time yet, you must hold on.

Kindness does not control soldiers, Jiang Chuan suddenly had a deeper understanding of this sentence at this time.

Suddenly, his eyes froze, because at this moment, because of the pressure of the Mongolian Eight Banners and the full Eight Banners behind him, more than 1 people in the front of the Qing Army had all crowded together, presenting a very dense crowd. The formation is almost man-to-man.

This is the time, this is the time!
Jiang Chuan put down the binoculars, slowly raised his right hand, and said in a deep voice, "The crossbow battalion, grenadiers, and musketeers all fire."

The semaphore soldiers who had been waiting for a long time hurriedly waved the big flag, and at the same time the drums sounded suddenly.

The passionate sound of the drums lifted the spirits of all the soldiers of the Jiang family army, and they all looked at the position of the Chinese army's banner.

Seeing the semaphore, the captains of Gongnuying and Shenjiying almost simultaneously slashed down their sabers with all their strength.

"shoot!"

"Fire!"
