Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 904 Yangquan, Death Battle 5
The high-carbon steel seedling knife rolled up with a sharp light and rained blood, and the severed limbs and weapons flew out along the blade, and the screams were earth-shattering.The [-] elite cavalry led by Qi Polu seemed to be possessed by evil spirits from hell, and crashed into the middle of the Mongolian cavalry, which was three times as many as them, and cut them down piece by piece, and devoured them piece by piece.Under the sharp blades of the Mongolian cavalry, they were also turned on their backs, but these cavalry seemed to have no idea what fear was, and only knew one word: rush!Until the enemy army collapses!
The rolling iron cavalry was like a huge millstone on which thousands of cavalry circled, turning into piles of broken corpses.

The cheers of the Ming army on the city wall were earth-shattering. He Sui knelt in front of Yang Menglong and shouted tremblingly: "Master Hou, the reinforcements have arrived! Yangquan City is defended!"

Yang Menglong closed his eyes and let out a long breath.The moment he saw the banner of the Tianxiong Army, he felt that a big stone had landed in his heart. The Qing army could rely on intrigue and tactics to make the Tianxiong Army fall into a passive and beaten situation, but once the main force was bitten by the Tianxiong Army, they would Absolutely no good!After being suppressed and beaten by the Qing army for so long, the Tianxiong army may have already been furious. This is only the vanguard, and the main force behind will continue to kill until the Qing army completely collapses!After a while, he regained his composure, and turned his eyes to the bloody battlefield, and to the direction where the red lady was, with a trace of worry passing between his brows.Although reinforcements have arrived, the Ming army is still at a disadvantage in terms of strength on the battlefield. Qi Polu just caught the enemy by surprise. Once the Qing army reacts and adjusts its deployment, it will be difficult for him to take advantage !
As soon as this thought flashed through my mind, the desolate Conch came from a distance, and a white battle flag appeared from behind the horizon, followed by hundreds of elite cavalry with white helmets and white armor, and the flaming Tianxiong Army. A very stark contrast was formed.

The new force of the Qing army!

They're here too!

Yang Menglong's facial muscles twitched slightly, and he shouted: "Commander He, you choose three thousand elites, one thousand crossbowmen, one thousand five hundred spearmen, and five hundred grenadiers. Let the grenadiers carry more grenades. I will go out of the city to meet the friendly army and enter the city!"

His meaning is very clear: he does not seek to wipe out the enemy, but only wants to defend the strategic point of Yangquan. As long as this strategic point is defended, the Ming army will win without losing!

All the generals knelt down, and He Sui said loudly: "Master Hou, you haven't recovered yet, so you can't go, let us go, and give us a chance to redeem our sins!"

Yang Menglong gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's go! Later, I invite you to eat dog meat and drink spirits!"

All the generals agreed with a loud voice, and each of them came down the city wall with their servants in high spirits, summoned the elite, and prepared to go out of the city to kill.

This Qing cavalry, which arrived on the battlefield just a little behind Qi Polu, was the vanguard of Dorgon's army led by Suorutu.They tried their best, but still couldn't catch up with Qi Polu and stopped them outside Yangquan, which made Suorutu feel very embarrassed.So after chasing Qi Polu to the battlefield, Suorutu couldn't even take a breath. With a wave of his heavy sword, the trumpeter blew the horn, and hundreds of exhausted Manchu athletes let out earth-shattering roars and mobilized their horses. Go straight to the rear of Tianxiong's cavalry and eat the tail first!
Qi Polu's Miao knife swept across, and the dumbfounded head of a Mongolian centurion flew for a while with a rain of blood. So far, he has completely killed the horn formation formed by two thousand Mongolian cavalry, and the cavalry of the Tianxiong Army penetrated the formation. out.However, at this moment, the sound of hooves from behind shook the sky, and a large group of cavalry in white helmets and white armor rushed over like an avalanche. Qi Polu couldn't help but yelled angrily: "Jianu who can't be killed!" He took out the swan whistle After blowing three times in a row, Tianxiong's army split into two, letting go of Suolutu's impact, and rushed straight to the gate of Yangquan City.Solutu raised his eyebrows, trying to escape?There are no doors!He led his subordinates in hot pursuit, and in a blink of an eye they were only one mile away from the city gate.

Obai was busy commanding his troops to encircle and suppress the besieged Hongniangzi and Zajichongweng troops, when he suddenly saw Suolutu's troops heading straight for the city gate, he couldn't help being horrified, and shouted wildly: "Don't go! Come back quickly. !"

late!

Suddenly, there was a continuous boom on the city wall, white smoke billowed up, and the terrible thunderbolt roared!However, what was hit this time was not an ordinary shell, but a strange shell that was quite similar to the Iron Fist rocket that shined in World War II, and was longer than the barrel of the Thunderbolt Cannon... How to describe it?It is almost like a mortar shell with a one-meter-long iron pipe behind it, and the iron pipe contains two or three catties of explosives and thousands of steel balls!This thing has a gratifying range, impressive accuracy, and power... It's quite scary. Amidst the screaming sound, several long shells wobbled to the top of Solutu's head, and then turned into orange-red fireballs that swelled away. Suddenly, the loud explosion almost shattered Solutu's eardrums, and dense shrapnel and steel balls shot towards the ground like a rainstorm of meteors, splashing blood rain.When one of these shells exploded, the shrapnel covered an astonishing 100 meters, and several of them exploded at the same time. Even if the cavalry scattered widely, seven or eighty people were instantly sprayed into sieves!

Manchurian Jianer's eyes turned red immediately, damn Minggou, he can use cannons to injure people!
Solutu was even more red-eyed. How many soldiers does he have per Niulu? After so many shots, he has already suffered heavy losses!To make matters worse, Qi Polu took advantage of the shelling and the commotion of them, reining in his horses and charging back, killing them!It has to be said that it is very difficult for a high-speed sprinting cavalry to collectively turn to counterattack the opponent in such a short period of time, but Qi Polu did it, and the offensive and defensive momentum was reversed in an instant. Solutu now became the target of fierce pursuit and was mowed down by the cavalry of the Tianxiong Army.Fortunately, the two thousand-man Mongolian cavalry that had been completely killed by Qi Polu had already regrouped and rushed over, and fought with Qi Polu within the range of the artillery of the Ming army, and Solutu won the battle. Otherwise, he might really let Qi Polu beat him to death in one go.

Ao Bai slowly let go of his clenched fists, letting out a sullen breath.Fortunately, although the reinforcements from the Ming army had arrived, he could completely eat with such a small number of troops.

only……

He cast his eyes on the city gate that was still closed until now, Yang Menglong, it's already this time, do you still want to be a turtle?This is not like your style!
As soon as this thought flashed through my mind, I saw the gate of Yangquan city wide open, and the brigade of the Ming army poured out of it like opening the gate to release water.Walking in the front are grenadiers with grenades on their bodies. These grenadiers are carefully selected by Yang Menglong. They are strong men with outstanding physical strength. The grenade smashes the enemy alive.Behind the grenadiers are the pikemen, holding four-meter long guns and a dogleg knife around their waists. In case the spear is cut off, they can also pull out the dogleg knife to continue fighting.At the back are the crossbowmen, holding a strong crossbow and wearing a horizontal knife, striding forward behind the pikemen.The battle drums of the Ming army beat wildly on the city wall, and the loud rumbling sound resounded through the battlefield. The Ming army stepped on the drumbeats, wading through blood, and their murderous aura was soaring!
Ao Bai laughed ferociously: "You can't hold it in anymore?" He turned to Haidu and ordered: "Let your troops retreat and let Ming Gou come over... It's too close to the city gate. Once Ming Gou is attacked, it will be very difficult." It’s easy to escape back to the city, and it’s easy to get shelled if you attack us there!”

At this time, Haidu's face was so bitter that juice could drip out of it.The cruelty of the Battle of Yangquan was completely beyond his imagination. He never dreamed that the defenders, who were dominated by routs, would have the courage to go out of the city to make an assault. The loss of capital has been quite heavy.The most frightening thing is that this bloody battle seems to have just begun. The meat grinder in Yangquan is spinning faster and faster, and who knows how many lives will be devoured!But the battle had reached this point, so he could only grit his teeth and continue fighting. He made a promise, and rode forward to command the troops to retreat slowly, leaving the effective range of the lightning cannon first. That thing is terrible!

The Ming army continued to stride forward on the beat of the drum, ignoring the sharp arrows flying through the air, ignoring the blood splattering and screams around them.

Hai Du was sweating from his heart. The attitude of death-defying attitude displayed by this Ming army made him inexplicably flustered. Such an opponent is not easy to deal with!He yelled at one of the commanders: "Wulu, go, call Yang Dong's infantry here, and block Minggou for me!"

Wulu rode his horse over and found Yang Dong, who was rearranging his troops, and said with a cold face, "Master Haidu has an order to transfer your infantry to block the Ming army!"

Yang Dong looked at the Ming army that was slowly approaching like a wave of steel, and was also flustered for a while, and said with a bitter face: "Master Wulu, my troops have lost too much, and if I let them go to the battlefield, I'm afraid... ..."

Wu Lu said coldly: "Now is the time to use you, what are you talking about? Act now, otherwise don't blame the military law for being ruthless!"

Yang Dong sighed resignedly, and said: "Obey!" He commanded the troops to form a square formation, and advanced against the front of the Ming army.After giving an order, all his subordinates exploded and cursed: "Are there any mistakes? We were the first to attack the city to test the enemy's reality. We were the ones to bear the frontal assault of the enemy's cavalry. Now the enemy's infantry has come out of the city to meet them." Or us, do those bastards treat us as human beings!?" They were indeed furious. They made a tentative attack a few days ago, and they took in more than 2000 people at once. Today, the Ming army made two surprise attacks. It's them again, they have already suffered heavy casualties, and now they are required to fight against the infantry phalanx of the Ming army! ?It is simply unreasonable!
With a gloomy face, Yang Dong stabbed three times in a row, hacking to death the three soldiers who yelled the loudest, and shouted: "You can do whatever you want, why talk so much? Those who disturb the morale of the soldiers will die!" The hundred Mongolian cavalry also leaned over with sullen faces, holding sharp sabers, and stared coldly at these guys who talked a lot.Facing the cold blade, these rebels kept silent rationally. They dared to complain in front of Yang Dong, but they never dared to say strange things in front of the Mongols. They knew the brutality of the Mongols. If there is a violation, let go and kill immediately, blowing your wings in front of them?That's boring!

Amidst the sound of rumbling drums, the Ming army had already left the city for more than one mile. At such a long distance, the lightning cannons were simply inaccurate.Yang Dong narrowed his eyes and stared at the Ming army who was still rolling forward, and shouted: "Stop!"

Thousands of rebels stopped.

The Ming army continued to advance.

Yang Dong calculated the distance, and called: "Strengthen the crossbow, listen to my order and launch!"

More than 500 rebel crossbowmen were divided into three rows. They struggled to draw their crossbows, loaded a crossbow arrow, and aimed at the Ming army.

The Ming army was still moving forward. The crossbows in their hands had already been strung up, and they were just waiting to pull the trigger and fire.Yang Dong clearly saw that the legs of many Ming army crossbowmen were trembling, and the hands holding the crossbows were shaking even more violently. However, more than 3000 people strode forward to the beat of drums without looking back. This momentum was still Pretty scary.

The distance between the two sides is only 90 meters.

Yang Dong said: "Let go!"

The first row of crossbowmen buckled their machine guns, thump, thump, thump!A row of crossbow arrows shot out violently, a continuous mist of blood burst out from the front line of the Ming army, and the screams were earth-shattering. Whether it was crossbowmen or pikemen, they were all swept down piece by piece!
The Ming army continued to stride forward.

Yang Dong said: "Second row, let go!"

Another row of crossbow arrows shot out, and the Ming army fell one by one like a wheat field blown by a strong wind.The lethality of the formation-breaking crossbow is too great. Even a large shield weighing [-] jin and wrapped in copper leaves can not be missed. The armor on their bodies cannot withstand such a fierce attack. .However, the Ming army turned a blind eye to the corpses all over the ground and the wailing wounded. They just gritted their teeth and continued to move forward. Under the helmet, the eyes had turned blood red!
The rebels began to tremble involuntarily. Facing such a desperate opponent, they instinctively felt fear and despair.Yang Dong's voice also began to flutter, hissing wildly: "Let go!!"

The third row of crossbow arrows shot out, and more Ming troops fell.The grenadiers surpassed the pikemen, picked up the crossbows in the hands of the fallen crossbowmen and filled the gaps, and the three rows of crossbowmen remained intact.Amidst the screams, they had advanced to only 50 meters away from the rebel phalanx, and the rebel crossbowmen were scrambling to wind up. Due to fear, the movements that were originally very skilled have now become extremely blunt, and it took several times. Sometimes it doesn't work well.

No chance to do it well either.

He Sui stared at these unreasonable rebels, and let out a roar in his lungs: "Shoot the fuck!"

The first row of crossbowmen squatted down, the second row of crossbowmen half-kneeled, the third row stood upright, and the three rows of crossbowmen aimed at the rebels, and pulled the trigger at the same time!The rebels let out a shrill howl, some threw down their weapons and turned around and ran, some waved their long knives nervously and rushed towards the Ming army, but no matter what they did, they could not save their fate.The continuous metal trill sounded like thunder, and the cold metal storm in the shape of a triangular arrow swept across the rebel army formation. The three rows of crossbowmen in the front were almost wiped out, and those behind them also fell down layer by layer. , Some places were even shot through, exposing the Mongolian cavalry who were supervising the battle behind!The metal storm swept across, and the entire army was in a mess, the flag was crooked, corpses and wounded soldiers lay on the ground, blood flowed, it was horrible, under the strike of thunder, the casualties caused by the rebel crossbowmen to the Ming army had already been taken into account. The land was returned!
Not giving the rebels a chance to breathe at all, He Sui pointed his sword and said thunderously, "Come on!"

Fifteen hundred spearmen roared in unison: "Come on!" Holding their spears flat, staring at a pair of blood-red eyes, with a terrifying roar from their throats, they rushed towards the rebels!The grenadiers swung their arms while charging, and grenades flew over the pikemen's heads one after another, and fell into the rebel formation and even the Mongolian cavalry like hailstones. There were explosions one after another, and almost every grenade fell. Human lives were lost, the rebel formation was almost shrouded in gunpowder smoke, and the screams and cries almost overwhelmed the sound of the explosion.Yang Dong had no way to control the casualties of his troops. He was not even sure that his troops still existed. The shrill screams and roars from the opposite side made him feel like he was in hell.A grenade fell nearby, and the blast wave knocked him off his horse. He struggled to get up, but found that his right leg was not working, and he found a foot-long wound on his calf, revealing The bones were dense, and there was an opening in the lower abdomen, and the intestines flowed out.He coughed up a mouthful of blood, and looked through the gunpowder smoke at the Ming army charging towards them with spears like mountains and walls. He showed a bitter smile and muttered to himself: "Wrong...wrong! I should fight with them Fight side by side, instead of surrendering to foreign enemies and meeting them!"

No one could hear him talking to himself. The first line of spearmen who rushed forward judged from his armor that he was a high-ranking official. With a roar, more than a dozen spears stabbed at him at the same time, piercing his body and picking him up. Get up in the air, get used to the ground hard, poke it again, pick it up, get used to the ground again!

This shameless villain who led thousands of soldiers and horses to surrender to foreign races and exchanged the lives of his compatriots for prosperity and wealth turned into a pile of plasma and minced meat in a blink of an eye!
