The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 291

With one order, the humming of the bowstring being released, the squeeling sound of the bow and crossbow firing, the bang bang bang bang of musket shooting, and the whirring sound of black bombs passing through the air sounded almost simultaneously, like rocks piercing through the air. , the stormy waves hit the shore, taking people's soul.

Thousands of arrows, countless projectiles, and hundreds of small bombs all fell into the extremely dense crowd of the Qing army without any accident.

In this dense formation, there is no need to aim at all.Almost every arrow hit a Qing soldier, and some Qing soldiers were unlucky, their whole body was tied up like a hedgehog in an instant, and they died without a word.Such a dense rain of arrows immediately created many vacancies in the dense formation of the Qing army.

Although the range of matchlock guns and flintlock guns is not good, the accuracy is not very good, but the power of shooting at such a close range is definitely enough for the Qing army to drink a pot.Countless projectiles were forcefully ejected by the burning gunpowder, and a large group of Qing soldiers fell backwards covering their faces covered in blood, howling in pain like ghosts.

The more powerful ones are naturally the small bombs thrown by the grenadiers at close range.These bombs are made of pottery or iron, but without exception, they will explode with a bang when they hit the ground. The countless small iron nails, barbed wire, and even pepper noodles and other fillers inside are all due to the action of gunpowder. Splashes everywhere.

Every time a bomb fell, a large group of Qing troops screamed in misfortune.Some people covered their faces covered with iron nails and caltrops and yelled fiercely, while others covered their eyes damaged by pepper powder and slammed around.

Moreover, the projectiles of these small bombs themselves will cause great damage to the surrounding creatures after they are broken, and even some broken porcelain pieces and broken iron sheets that fly at high speed due to the explosion will cut people's throats and cut people open in an instant. The trachea will cause people to spurt blood on their necks and die quickly.

Moreover, these high-speed flying fragments would even directly cut through the armor of the Qing army and pierce their hearts.

Under the sudden attack of Jiang's army's various long-range weapons, the Qing army suffered heavy casualties in an instant. The former army of more than 1 lost more than [-]% in a short period of time.

This kind of huge loss and fierce blow made the Qing army's original turbulent offensive immediately contained, and many Qing troops in the former army were stunned by the sudden and violent blow.

Many people looked at the tragic situation of their fellow robes around them, and their hearts were horrified. The courage they mustered up quickly disappeared, and they began to turn around and run back.The people behind did not receive the order to retreat, and there were Man Ba ​​Banners behind them, so they could only continue to squeeze forward.

When the two sides clashed, some Qing soldiers even turned red-eyed. As long as someone stood in front of them, they would directly draw their swords and slash at them.

The situation soon caused confusion, which began to increase.

The Jiang family army behind them seized the opportunity and quickly beheaded the Qing army that had rushed into the formation, re-stabilizing the line of defense.

The long-range attack troops are still continuously projecting all kinds of long-range firepower into the formation of the Qing army, which has caused the chaos of the Qing army to become more serious. The morale that the Qing army has just raised is rapidly passing away, and it is slipping towards the edge of collapse.

Dorgon, who was watching the battle from the rear, saw that the originally good situation was suddenly turned around by Jiang's army, his face darkened immediately, and he hurriedly ordered the Man Banners to press up, and continued to force the Han Banners to turn around and charge.

Dorgon has been fighting for many years, and he deeply understands that if the former army is allowed to be defeated at this time, let alone win this battle, even his own central army will be disrupted by these defeated soldiers, which will give the enemy a chance to take advantage of it. It's time.

The Man Banners at the back of the formation were ordered to yell at the Han Banners soldiers who turned around and fled back to charge again, and even directly mobilized archers to rain arrows on the Han Banners in front.

And as long as there are soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty brought back, there will be soldiers of the Eight Banners rushing up to chop off their heads.

Under this kind of strong suppression, the former army of the Qing army, who was in a dilemma, turned around and continued to charge towards the Jiang family army's formation again.

It's just that after the thrilling experience just now, those Jiang family army recruits who were a little timid at first seemed to have grown up all of a sudden. Their hands became calmer, their eyes became firmer, their hearts became harder, and they kept the defense line airtight. The re-charge of these Qing troops who had already lost their courage became futile.

The pressure from front to back turned the former army of the Qing army into meat in a meat sandwich, and the formation that had been sparse because of the counterattack of Jiang's army just now became dense again.

Standing on the cloud cart, Jiang Chuan watched all this through the binoculars, with a cruel smile on the corner of his mouth, put down the binoculars and said slowly, "The artillery can move."

Li Han, the lieutenant of Shenji Battalion who had been waiting to see the power of these field artillery, had been staring at the semaphore on the side of the Chinese army for a long time. When he saw that the semaphore was for him to fire, he was extremely excited and felt hot all over. He ran behind a nearby field gun and hissed with a torch, "Fire!"

Then he personally lit the matchlock on the tail of the field gun in front of him with a torch.

Boom boom boom, a hundred field cannons sounded at the same time, and suddenly a white smoke filled the air, drowning the entire artillery position.

With a whistling sound, a hundred flowering bombs drew graceful parabolas in the air and smashed into the dense crowd of Qing troops.

Boom, boom, flames erupted one after another among the dense crowd of the Qing army, and where the flames flashed, people turned their backs.

Field artillery is already suitable for dealing with infantry, especially in such a dense formation. There is really nothing more suitable than flowering ammunition.

The little remaining courage of the Qing army's former army was instantly overwhelmed by these one hundred flowering bombs.

Many people no longer cared about the arrows and butcher's knives full of eight banners guarding the formation. They shouted and turned around and ran back.

There are also those who are smarter and run towards the left and right sides.

The entire front of the Qing army completely collapsed at this time.

Of course, the artillerymen of the Jiang family army would not let them escape like this. The second round of artillery shells fell into the fleeing Qing army with a loud noise. Where the fire flashed, many broken arms and limbs were flying all over the sky.

These shells made the already chaotic Qing army even more chaotic. Many people dropped their weapons and ran around like headless chickens.

At this time, when Jiang Chuan was about to order the infantry to pursue him, Hu Zongxian, who was beside him without speaking, murmured, "It's time for the cavalry to drive the sheep into the pen."

Jiang Chuan's heart moved, and he instantly understood what he meant, and immediately ordered: "The two-winged cavalry dispatched, and drove the defeated Qing army to its main formation."

The semaphore soldiers behind him quickly waved the big flag, and at the same time, the sound of war drums suddenly sounded.

After receiving the order, the cavalry on the two wings immediately separated half of their troops, and under the leadership of Di Qing and Ran Wu respectively, they surrounded the Qing army on both sides.

　The fifth update arrives.I exhausted my prehistoric power today, and I finally didn't break my promise. I applaud myself. The old cat is really good (covering his face manually).Everyone, please continue to vote, and don't begrudge the votes in your hands.
