The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 292 The general attack begins

Half of the cavalry on the two wings of Jiang's army were led by Di Qing and Ran Wu to outflank the two wings of the collapsed Qing army.

The Mongolian Eight Banners cavalry who were ordered to rush towards the two wings of Jiang's army were blocked by the Han Eight Banners cavalry running around.The Mongolian cavalry who lost their speed had no choice but to detour to the outside and continue to attack, or they had to directly kill the rout soldiers blocking the road.

This situation undoubtedly aggravated the chaos on the battlefield.

Naturally, Di Qing and Ran Wu would not let go of this good opportunity. They each led [-] cavalry to rush forward, driving these defeated Han Eight Banners soldiers to continue running in the direction of the Qing army's main formation.

Facing the long-prepared cavalry of the Jiang family army, who were descending like fierce tigers, the rout of the Qing army was powerless to resist. As long as they fled on both sides, they would be stabbed in the head by the cavalry of the Jiang family army who were chasing after them.

But as long as those who run towards the Qing army's main formation are safe and sound, all the rout soldiers quickly discovered this, so they rushed towards the Qing army's main formation like a group of chaotic flocks being whipped by a shepherd. .

At this time, the drums sounded again, and the Jiang family army's infantry formation also seized the opportunity to slowly press forward. This chaos continues to expand in order to fight for the dominance of the battlefield.

Because the infantry formation has undergone long-term and strict queue training, even if it is advancing collectively at a not-so-slow speed, the basic formation can still be maintained.

The long-range arms behind the infantry also followed the infantry. The archers and musketeers continued to project firepower on the Qing army's rout during the march, making the Qing army's rout escape faster.

Jiangchuan's central army and rear army also moved forward, maintaining a suitable distance between the armies;

The remaining cavalry on both wings also followed and advanced at the same time to ensure the safety of the flanks of the formation.

Dorgon in the Qing army's main formation naturally understood the opponent's intentions, but this was an open conspiracy tactic, even if he knew it, he might not have a good way to deal with it.

"Order the infantry of the Eight Banners to line up. Once the rout breaks through to the place where an arrow is shot, it will immediately shoot the arrow. The cavalry on the two wings will send another [-] to intercept the enemy's cavalry."

Dorgon ordered with a gloomy expression.

Soon, the Qing army quickly formed a defensive formation in front of the main formation. A team of captain spearmen and shield soldiers lined up to block the front.

The vanguard of the defeated soldiers arrived as soon as he spoke, and many people cried out loudly to let them in, looking at the line that was waiting in full force, but the soldiers who were full of Eight Banners were completely indifferent.

Some of the broken soldiers who rushed through the land of an arrow were even immediately covered by the rain of arrows shot from the formation.

"Back back! You cowardly bastards, go back to me!" Generals full of Eight Banners yelled and cursed at the rout soldiers.

Facing this desperate situation, some of the defeated soldiers collapsed and despaired, dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground and cried loudly.Some people finally woke up and understood that the Manchus had been using them as cannon fodder, and howled loudly in anger and despair: "Brothers, these Tartars don't regard us as human beings at all. Since they are all dead anyway, why don't we die?" Fight with these dog tartars!"
Someone takes the lead, and someone responds.At this moment of despair, the brains of these rout soldiers have already lost the ability to think. As long as someone takes the lead, they will follow in even if there is a sea of ​​swords and flames ahead.

Roaring and waving their weapons, the rout soldiers rushed towards the main formation of the Qing army. Naturally, they could only be greeted by clusters of arrows and cold and sharp spears and spears.

With the continuous casualties of the defeated soldiers, their impact on the main formation of the Qing army became smaller and smaller.

At this moment, the Mongolian cavalry had also broken through the barrier of the rout, and finally confronted the Jiang family cavalry head-on.

With disheveled hair and a terrifying bronze mask, Di Qing took the lead and charged into the Mongolian cavalry formation with a big gun. There was no enemy under the big gun.

The cavalry of the Jiang family army followed Di Qing closely, and with him as the tip of the spine, they formed a cone-shaped formation that cavalry rushed into the formation, and rushed towards the Mongolian cavalry formation.

These Mongolian cavalry are good at cavalry and archery themselves, and cavalry hedging is really not their specialty when it comes to hand-to-hand combat.Their loose formation was vulnerable to a single blow, and they were quickly disrupted by the cavalry of the Jiang family army.

Di Qing had already discovered the second wave of cavalry that appeared in the main formation of the Qing army. After leading his troops to break through the formation of the Mongolian cavalry, he did not bother to fight. He continued to lead his troops forward and charged towards the second wave of cavalry of the Qing army. .

Ran Wu's side is the same, with [-] cavalrymen quickly broke through the formation of Mongolian cavalry, and then met the second wave of Manchurian cavalry rushing over.

Jiang Chuan on the cloud car had a panoramic view of all this through the binoculars. He felt that he had entered a mysterious state at this moment. If there was a change on the battlefield, he would immediately have a countermeasure in his mind.

In fact, this is the power of concentration. When a person is immersed in a certain thing, his brain is running rapidly, and his reaction ability will be several times faster than usual.

"The remaining cavalry on the two wings meet and wipe out the Mongolian cavalry."

"The large formation of infantry speeds up, and the Shenji Battalion is ready to fire at any time."

"The purpose of the vanguard cavalry is to restrain the enemy's cavalry, and they should not rashly attack the enemy's main formation."

"The central army and the rear army kept up with each other and kept the distance between the armies."

A series of orders were finally issued from Jiang Chuan in an orderly manner, and the semaphore soldiers and drummers behind him quickly conveyed his brightness with semaphores and drums.

The remaining cavalry on both wings attacked after hearing the news, and outflanked the Mongolian cavalry who had not had time to regroup after the collapse.

The infantry formation sped up again with the rapid drumbeat, and the soldiers changed from brisk walking to trotting in unison.The artillerymen of the Shenji Battalion also quickly turned around the field artillery and moved forward quickly with the pack horses.

Jiangchuan's central army and rear army are also advancing simultaneously and rapidly.

At this time, the vanguard of the cavalry led by Di Qing and Ran Wu had already taken over the cavalry of the Eight Banners. The horses of both sides neighed and charged back and forth and fought together.

Both sides understood that there was no way out for anyone, so the battle was very tragic from the very beginning.

Of course, the so-called tragic is only a relative term.The iron cavalry of the Jiang family army was not the soft persimmon of the cavalry of the Ming army. The Qing army, which had always been invincible in cavalry field battles, quickly felt the huge pressure.

In particular, Di Qing and Ran Wu, two generals of the Jiang family's army, have almost no enemy under their command. Coupled with the unique power of the Jiang family's small three-person formation, the Manchu Banners will soon be a little bit unable to hold on, and they have already begun to collapse. Signs of confusion.

Finally, the full Eight Banners cavalry couldn't hold on any longer, and some people began to turn around and flee, which caused a group effect. The full Eight Banners cavalry collapsed and fled collectively.

Di Qing and Ran Wu continued to chase and kill them.

At this time, the infantry formation of the Jiang family army had also advanced to the direction of the Qing army's main formation of [-] steps, and the crossbowmen and musketeers behind them followed closely.A hundred field guns also arrived at the predetermined position under the traction of the pack horse, quickly untied the pack horse, and shifted from the marching state to the ready to fire state.

Jiang Chuan's Central Army followed suit, arrived at the predetermined position and regrouped.

Finally, those Han Eight Banners routs were wiped out by the Qing army, and there were only corpses left on the ground between the formations of the two armies.

After clearing out those routs, the Qing army was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but suddenly found that the enemy's formation, which was originally two or three miles away, had already reached three hundred steps in front of its own side, and everyone was shocked.

However, Jiang Chuan didn't intend to give them time to slow down. With an order, a hundred artillery pieces of the Shenji Battalion opened fire at the same time.

The sound of cannon fire was the signal for a general offensive, and five thousand crossbowmen, musketeers, and grenadiers all fired at the Qing army at the same time.

For a moment, the Jiang family army's position was full of smoke, but the Qing army's infantry formation was full of flames, explosions continued one after another, stumped limbs and broken arms flew all over the sky, and the sound of crying and howling was endless.

In just one stick of incense, the Qing army's formation seemed to be crumbling.
