Nanming Engineer

Chapter 471 Defeated

Man Dahai was stunned for a moment, staring in disbelief: "Gebush Xianchao Ha Ying...Royal Father, that is your guard camp!"

The Gebush Xianchao Ha Camp, which was later renamed the Qianfeng Camp by Emperor Kangxi, has always been composed of brave and strong Baiba Yala soldiers selected from various banners, and there are several warriors with the title of Ba Tulu.Its elite level is unmatched in the Qing army. It is an ace force that Dorgon values ​​very much. It has a battalion of [-] soldiers, half of which are infantry and half cavalry.

This army will not go into battle until it is absolutely necessary. At this time, Dorgon ordered Man Dahai to lead the army himself, obviously trying his best.

Dorgon stared into the distance and didn't speak any more.

Gritting his teeth, Man Dahai bowed his head and gave a "squeaky" sound. He took the round wooden sign for dispatching troops from the Chinese army next to Dorgon, got on his horse and led the people away.

The cavalry of the Gebush Xianchaoha Camp are heavily armored, with three layers of armor, two layers of chain mail inside, cotton armor over the coat, heavy helmets on the head, and a long spear and a long knife in each hand; Arrows cannot penetrate the neck, head and chest.The equipment of the infantry is the same as that of the cavalry, except that there is no horse and an extra shield.

Under the leadership of Man Dahai, the bright yellow armor was separated from the central army of the Qing army. The two thousand cavalry were divided into two teams and rushed forward.The [-] infantry will stay in the formation. This is almost the last mobile force Dorgon has at hand. If he is sent out again, there will be almost no soldiers around him.

There were also some Han army supply troops in the rear, but these people were useless, and Dorgon didn't even think about them.

Man Dahai also took away his Ba Yala guard battalion, and the two battalions merged together, making up nearly [-] cavalry, and joined the chaos on the battlefield.

The battle has become intense, the cavalry on both wings are fighting, and the artillery of the Kuizhou army extends the artillery fire backwards, blocking the follow-up troops of the Qing army from coming up, and avoiding accidental injuries to their own people who were fighting with the Qing soldiers.

Hand-to-hand combat is extremely cruel. The sharp blade cuts on the human body, either extremely heavy or extremely fast. The slashed person makes a desolate scream, which is mixed with the crazy roar of the slasher. It is impossible to distinguish whether it is a human or a beast. the sound of.

Li Dingguo's white armor had been dyed red, and the spear in his hand was inserted into the chest of a Qing soldier. With his eyes wide open and unwilling to let go, Li Dingguo dragged for a while without dragging. He simply abandoned his gun, pulled out the knife hanging from the saddle, and chopped the Qing soldier off the horse with a single stroke. A spear pierced.

A white-armored cavalryman who was following him brandished a broadsword and took this opportunity to run past the horses of the Qing soldiers holding spears. With a flash of the sword, he chopped off the Qing soldiers' heads. Li Dingguo let go of his hands and ignored them The headless corpse clamped its legs, and the horse moved forward. Another heavy cavalry Qing soldier passed by, and a sharp blade was handed to his face. Li Dingguo lowered his head, almost lying on the neck of the horse. Dodging the knife, he stretched out his left hand obliquely like a conditioned reflex, and with the speed of the mount, he slashed Qing Bing's chin with great skill and power.

The heavy cavalry was covered in armor, except for the chin. The blade slashed, and blood shot out like a fountain, flying three feet high. Half of the neck of the Qing soldier was broken. Holding his wound, he rode on the horse and ran for a while. On the other horse, fell to the ground and died.

Li Dingguo looked back, and found that the white-armored cavalry who was following him had been smashed through the front door by an ax that flew from nowhere, fell on his back, his feet were still hanging on the stirrups, and was dragged aside by the horse Ran.With no expression on his face, he turned his head and looked coldly at another Qing soldier.

War horses are galloping in the crowd, horses and shadows intertwine, the enemy and the enemy are not distinguished, and the people are all in chaos. There are me in you and you in me. The Kuizhou cavalry has the strength of the whole, forming a formation, scattered Mongolian soldiers and Jurchen soldiers Although the soldiers' individual martial prowess is high, they are like five fingers against iron fists. They have an advantage in one-on-one pairing, but they suffer from a group of cavalry and are crushed by the Kuizhou army.

After Li Dingguo cut down a Qing soldier with a mace, his eyes were blank, and there was no enemy in front of him. He turned his head in surprise, and found that he had already come out of the formation, and the Qing cavalry brigade was killed in a transparent, smoky battlefield. On the road, the remaining Qing army in the back was still entangled with strands of Kuizhou army cavalry.

He pulled the horse's head and was about to turn around and kill again, but saw another group of cavalry coming from a distance from the rear of the Qing army. He grinned and ignored it. Anyway, this group of soldiers would be washed away by artillery fire. Let's think about it when we rush over.

With a roar, Li Dingguo killed back with the white armored cavalry closely following him.

In the infantry formation, Li Tingyu had already collided with the Qing army infantry rushing over.The large erected shields of the shields in the first row blocked the impact of the Qing army's human flesh, and the spears in the back pierced quickly, and the pistons seemed to twitch once and for all. The spears passed through the living human flesh, pulled back, and pierced again. , The people who were stabbed were hung on the shields, unable to escape, the shields were tall, their knives and guns could not reach the people of the Kuizhou army, they howled twice and died with bloody holes.

After the first impact, it was very difficult for the Qing army to get close. They couldn't even touch their shields. When they stabbed in and out, a cloud of blood was brought up. Even though the Qing army was brave, it was really hard to bully them.

Ma Guangyuan has already arrived at the front line. In front of him is the spear array of the Kuizhou army. He holds a shield in his hand and presses it against his head. Because there are still arrows flying from the Kuizhou army in the sky. From time to time, someone is shot and screams. fell down.

The people around him looked like rabbits surrounded by hunters. They were stabbed by long spears in a funny and helpless way, fell to the ground, and died. Qing soldiers blocked the long spears with their weapons, rushed forward, and were stabbed by another long spear In the process, layers of spear blades retracted and stabbed out tacitly in turn, like waves without gaps.

Ma Guangyuan's eyes almost ooze blood, his subordinates are all here, and every time they die, there will be one less. These are the foundation brought by Liaodong, and they are almost dead, but there is no dawn of victory in sight.

In desperation, this brawny man was full of blood, and suddenly smashed his shield down, smashed two long spears to the ground, stepped on the barrels of the guns, and jumped into the air. He pushed aside the stabbing spears, and with a "bump" sound like a shell, he hit the shield wall of the Kuizhou Army.

He knocked open a gap in the solid shield wall. Ma Guangyuan kept on twisting his body, stepping on the ground and bumping again and again. This time, as soon as his body was glued to the shield, he felt the strength loosen and his body slammed into it.

Ma Guangyuan was overjoyed, but because of too much force and too much momentum, he fell into it and fell to the ground. Before he got up, he felt a few feet stepping on his body, and several big irons fell on him. The rings hit his head one after another. The heavy iron rings made him faint.

Is this the iron ring on the other end of the white soldier's spear?Before losing consciousness, he thought vaguely.

There are many warriors like Ma Guangyuan in the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty. Facing the guns and shields of the Kuizhou army, there are not one or two people who are not afraid of death and charge. The walls were stabbed into sieves, and others, like Ma Guangyuan, were put into the shield wall and smashed to death with iron rings.

There are also some people who successfully smashed through the iron shield, broke into the Kuizhou formation, and fought with the white armored soldiers, but such cases are too rare, and there are very few people on the front that is advancing like a long wall. Helmet and iron armor are well equipped and are not inferior to the most elite soldiers of the Eight Banners. Even in melee combat, they are not lost to the Qing army.

The artillery fire is still roaring, the arrows are flying back and forth in the air, the sound of shouting and killing can be heard for hundreds of miles, the ground covered with corpses has been stained red with blood, the white reef is slowly moving forward, the speed is slow but extremely firm, unstoppable , Qing soldiers in various armors appeared and disappeared in the smoke under the erosion of artillery fire, rushed over, smashed under the white city wall.

The sun rose high above the head, and the temperature gradually increased a little, which made the white-hot murderous look even more suffocating. Facing the fierce artillery fire and fierce hacking and killing of the Kuizhou army, the Han army first began to collapse.

Just like the first ant nest that appeared on the dam, a Han soldier who was overwhelmed by despair and fear dropped the weapon in his hand, didn't care to wipe off the blood splashed on his face by his dead comrades around him, turned his head and ran away with a pale face, The people who bumped into him didn't pay attention, only hated that they lost two legs.

This silent emotion quickly spread like a plague. This person led the second and third people around him... The entire Han army began to flee. They knew that if they couldn't beat them, how could they beat them!Those Ming troops are too strong, so many people died, it will be my turn next, if I don't escape, I will die!
Soon it was not only the Han army who fled, but the Han Eight Banners and Mongols also started to run. Those who rushed forward and those who ran backward were like rising tide and low tide appearing in one place at the same time, and another person became thousands of people. In the rout, the Kuizhou army seemed to be firing endless iron bullets without any scruples, pushing this rout to a climax.

Man Dahai was riding on a horse, looking at what happened ahead in disbelief. The fleeing soldiers had already reached his horse, hacked two of them to death, and more people came running over. These people looked terrified at the Jurchens. The soldier's blade was no longer afraid, and ran in circles, desperately running, running extremely fast.

What's going on here?Holding the blood-stained knife, Man Dahai thought, when did the Qing Dynasty live like this?Can't win?
Behind him, Dorgon received an urgent courier from Azig.

He brought a very bad news: a brigade of Mongolian cavalry from the Khalkha tribe appeared on the Zhili side in the north of Datong.

Dorgon's expressionless face finally changed a bit, his face turned pale, then flushed red again, his eyes blurred, and he fell off the horse.
