1635 Han style rises again

Chapter 513 Bing Feng ([-])

"Lord Dutong, the enemy army is moving!" A ginseng leader of the Eight Banners Han army with a red flag next to Shi Tingzhu (Note 1) reminded in a low voice.

"Well, cheer up Dezhou Town and Binzhou Town in front." Shi Tingzhu said impatiently: "There is no military order, you are not allowed to take a step back. Violators, beheaded for public display!"

I think that my Qing Dynasty has thousands of troops and horses, twice as many as the enemy's army, and even guarded the front of the camp, allowing the enemy to attack. If it wants to spread the word, it may not be said that my reputation of the Qing Dynasty will be ruined.As a Manchu nobleman, this Bahana became so cautious after only suffering a small defeat.Could it be that after entering the customs and seeing the Huahua World in the Central Plains, he became a little life-threatening?
However, to Shi Tingzhu's surprise, not all the Ming troops on the opposite side came over, only a thousand or so "spearmen" in black military uniforms moved forward slowly, and the two thousand or so soldiers in mandarin duck battle jackets The Ming army still stayed at the city.

Is this Ming army crazy?How dare you use more than a thousand troops to attack our Qing Dynasty's tight army formation of thousands of people!In a trance, Shi Tingzhu seemed to have a slight illusion that his side was still the Liaodong Army Town of the Ming Dynasty, and the black-clothed queue slowly approaching on the opposite side was the invincible Eight Banners of Manchuria.Although there are few people, but the combat power is strong, with one against a hundred.

Looking back at the Eight Banners armored cavalry behind the formation, it seemed that Bahana was calling for more than a thousand black-clothed troops who were about to attack the armored cavalry in two ways.Shi Tingzhu nodded his head, probably I stepped on the iron hooves of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, and the opponent is afraid that they will all be defeated, so some pawns in the formation here are redundant.

The black-clothed army formation on the opposite side stopped and stopped, as if trying to maintain an offensive formation.Although they were attacking, they did not form a traditional frontal formation, but a square-like formation, dense and thick.In this regard, Shi Tingzhu believes that even without cavalry charging, their infantry can pass through many archers to break up their formation, and then rely on their own number advantage to wipe out the incoming enemy.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!..." Suddenly, there was a sound of firecrackers firing neatly from the opponent's array, and the few Eight Banners armored riders who approached on both sides were knocked off their horses immediately, and the rest didn't bother to shoot arrows anymore, they beat their horses Run towards the side and rear.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!..." There was another row of firecrackers firing, and the trailing cavalry fell to the ground.

"Hiss!..." Seeing this, Shi Tingzhu couldn't help but gasped. The firecrackers used by the black-clothed army had a killing distance similar to that of bows and arrows, and the density of the projectiles they shot was obviously higher than that of bows and arrows, and their lethality was also stronger. How many points, almost all of them are killed immediately.The bows and arrows shot by the Eight Banners Jiaqi seem to have caused very limited damage to them.

The Ming army in Ye County is really different.Shi Tingzhu's heart suddenly became vigilant, the opponent dared to take the initiative to attack, there must be something to back him up.

The army in black on the opposite side stopped more than 200 steps (about [-] meters) away from the large formation of the Qing army. Then, under the astonished gaze of the Qing army, the opponent pushed out more than ten small cannons from the formation, and quickly deployed them. A simple artillery formation was built.

Then, they began to bombard the Qing army's formation in an orderly manner.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!..." Projectiles slammed into the thick Qing army formation one after another, piercing the bodies of more than a dozen Qing soldiers one after another, and then the projectiles continued to bounce and roll backwards. , Wade more than ten bloody paths among the Qing army.

"Master Dutong, this place is dangerous, let's retreat first." A leader of the Eight Banners Han army stretched out his hand to support Shi Tingzhu, and shouted loudly in his ear.

"The enemy army still has so many cannons that can be propelled by manpower!" Shi Tingzhu pushed away the Eight Banners Han army leader who was about to pull him away, and then looked ahead in amazement. In his impression, the red cannons and the like Shouldn't it be placed at the head of the city, or dragged by several horses, and placed outside the city for siege?But the black-clothed army in front of us actually has so many small cannons, and they can also walk with the army, set up the formation, and bombard our Qing army formation.

"Lord Dutong..." Following another burst of artillery roar, more than a dozen bullets fell into the formation, and the officers and soldiers of the front battalion in Dezhou Town had begun to waver, and sporadic soldiers turned their heads and fled backwards.

"Don't retreat!" Shi Tingzhu pulled out his dagger and shouted loudly, "If you retreat without authorization, everyone will be cut!"

Nearly a thousand soldiers of the Eight Banners Han Army with red flags also raised their knives one after another, threatening the somewhat wavering surrender troops and ordering them to continue to line up in front and wait for further military orders.

"Hey, these Jian slaves are pretty tough!" Artillery commander Zhong Maoyong saw that after two rounds of shelling, although the Qing army formation on the opposite side became a little chaotic, under the restraint of the officers, they quickly restored their tight formation, and couldn't help but Glancing at Jian Nugao, "Brothers, work harder, bombard it for a few more rounds! I don't believe it, this flesh and blood body dares to compete with our artillery."

"The slave cavalry is coming!" a gunner exclaimed loudly.

"What the fuck, what are you panicking about! Keep loading and shooting." Zhong Maoyong saw more than a hundred Jiannu cavalry running towards him in the distance, and he was a little flustered, but he still said calmly: "There are brothers from the Marine Corps guarding me. Ladies, Jiannu can’t get close to you!”

Before the words were finished, the Second Battalion of the Land Warfare had rushed up, guarding more than ten artillery pieces behind, leaving the muzzles open, and then pointed their muskets at the Jiannu cavalry who were rushing forward.

Hai Se rode on the horse and saw that the opponent's firecrackers had already greeted him, knowing that there was no chance to attack their artillery again, he swung the reins to the left, preparing to pass by the opponent's array, and at the same time drew out the bow and arrow from under the saddle, and held it in his hand.

Holding his musket, Yue Zhongwu silently counted the distance traveled by the Jiannu cavalry, while listening to the command to shoot from the company commander on the right.He had already seen the slave cavalry start to turn, they did not dare to rush directly to the front of the formation, but prepared to pass by their right flank.Perhaps, this time, they could leave a dozen or so slave cavalry behind.

Since the attack on Jiannu, although they were constantly attacked by their cavalry on the way, due to the tight protection of their equipment and the fact that Jiannu did not dare to get too close, the losses suffered were extremely slight, while Jiannu cavalry were killed more than a hundred ride.Therefore, the more the marines move forward, the more confident they are in their hearts.

"Touch! Touch! Touch!..." Just as Hai Se let go of the bowstring, he heard the sound of firecrackers from the black-clothed army.But suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his thigh, he snorted softly, then gritted his teeth, and galloped to the side.Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw nearly twenty cavalrymen falling from their horses behind him.

This black-clothed army is amazing!
Shi Tingzhu saw that the Eight Banners Jiaqi continued to harass and attack the opponent, and it seemed that they could not shake the enemy's formation at all.As the cavalry retreated, the opponent's artillery began to bombard the Qing army's formation again and again. The officers and soldiers of Dezhou Town in the front battalion had begun to stir up and mobilized the officers and soldiers of Binzhou Town behind.

"Order the front army to charge!" Shi Tingzhu ordered loudly: "Dezhou Town is in the front, Binzhou Town is in the back, and destroy the black-clothed army in front. Tell those people that after they invade Ye County, they are allowed to enter the city first, and they will not be blocked for three days. Knife!"

Following Shi Tingzhu's order, thousands of former Ming troops descended, and under the leadership of officers at all levels, the formation marched towards the Qi army in an orderly manner.Rows of archers, wearing cat loincloths in front of the formation, stared at the approaching distance of the two sides, and moved forward quickly.

"The third battalion guards the Jiannu cavalry on both wings, the second battalion and the new army musketeers set up a dense shooting array in front, the first battalion then deploys a three-stage shooting array, the artillery continues to shoot, and strives to break up the Jiannu formation before reaching the enemy! "Niuhu ordered loudly.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!..." Seeing the Jiannu brigade rushing towards them, the artillerymen of the Qi army immediately increased the firing frequency of their artillery, and at a distance of more than 200 meters as Jiannu marched, they just fired two salvos , making the Jiannu formation inevitably chaotic.The guts were pierced, the head was severed and the limbs were severed, and more than 20 blood paths made the Jiannu infantry who swarmed forward all feel terrified.Avoiding each other, pushing and shoving, those who hesitated to move forward, those who saw the opportunity to retreat, of course, there were also those who were frightened by the bloody battlefield and ran around with their heads covered, shouting loudly.

"Jiannu is 150 meters away!"

"The first column shoots in a squatting position, the second column shoots in a bent position, and the third column shoots in a standing position!" Xu Chuanxing ordered loudly.

"Raise the gun!"

"preparation!"

"……put!"

"Bump! Bump! Bump!..."

The Qi army lined up in three rows, nearly [-] muskets fired at the same time, and a thick puff of gunpowder smoke rose from the front of the formation.Almost at the same moment, the Jiannu archers who rushed to the front also let go of their bowstrings.

After Yue Zhongwu pulled the trigger, just as Mao Yao was about to retreat from the flanks to the back, a feathered arrow flew towards him indistinctly.Subconsciously lowered his head and tightened his body, but he still felt a pain in the gap of the left arm armor.

"Damn it, today's luck is really bad!" Yue Zhongwu cursed while trotting sideways.A feathered arrow suddenly stuck in his left arm, and it actually pierced into the forearm along the gap of the arm armor.

More than 300 muskets of the Qi army fired a volley, which almost cut off a layer of the forward troops of the Jiannu infantry. Nearly [-] people fell to the ground immediately. Slowed down, and then heard the sound of a row of muskets firing from the black-clothed army in front of them.

"Raise the gun!"

"Get ready!... Let it go!"

Under the command of the officer, the rows of muskets are constantly raising the guns to shoot, backing up, cleaning the chamber, pouring gunpowder, stuffing the projectiles, compacting them with a cleaning rod, standing still, and waiting for shooting...

There seemed to be a thin line of blood in Jiannu's front line. No matter how brave soldiers and officers were, they tried hard to cross this red line with their swords and guns, but they all fell to the ground with the sound of firecrackers.The corpses piled up quickly, forming a "flesh and blood repelling horse" as high as half a person.

The Jiannu armored cavalry tried to find an opportunity to make a surprise attack on the two wings and the rear of the black-clothed army formation, but before they approached, they were still shot by firecrackers in the formation. He had no choice but to continue riding his horse back and forth around the army formation.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!..." Seven or eight cannons were replaced with grape bullets. On a wide fan-shaped surface in front of the muzzle, dense lead bullets hit their heads and faces, and the Jiannu army suddenly wailed. , Countless fell to the ground.

In less than a quarter of an hour after joining the battle, nearly a thousand officers and soldiers in Dezhou Town, the pioneer of Jiannu, had lost nearly a thousand people, and the momentum of the charge was stagnant.Before even connecting with the enemy, one's own side was shot and killed on the spot by the enemy army on the opposite side.The sound of firecrackers sounded, and the companions in front fell to the ground like mowing grass. Amidst the roar of artillery, countless corpses instantly revealed dense blood holes.Occasionally, a few bullets slammed down from the formation, and then jumped and rolled all the way, wading out bloody paths.

"Master Dutong, the striker has collapsed..." the Eight Banners Han army leader next to Shi Tingzhu shouted loudly.

Shi Tingzhu stared blankly at the chaotic vanguard. Countless soldiers were crying, throwing away their weapons and running back desperately.The vicious soldiers of the Eight Banners Han army brandished long knives and beheaded more than a dozen deserters in a row, but they still couldn't stop the vanguard from collapsing. Binzhou Town, where the Chinese army lived, began to show signs of wavering.

"Lead people up and prevent everyone from retreating." Shi Tingzhu sternly shouted: "Soldiers retreat, kill officials! Officers retreat, kill generals! Make sure to drive the team forward. Otherwise..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw the ginseng beside him tilted his body, and let out a scream of "ah", a bullet whizzed past his side, took away one of his arms, and then slammed the He fell back and lay on the ground, trying to cover the huge wound with his other good hand, wailing incessantly.

Seeing this scene, Shi Tingzhu instantly broke out in a cold sweat, and subconsciously turned his head to look forward.

In the vagueness, there seemed to be a burst of passionate horns, and the sound of the firecrackers firing did not stop for a moment, and it felt that the distance was getting closer.The officers and soldiers of Dezhou Town in the front had completely collapsed, and countless routs smashed the formation of Binzhou Town and the Eight Banners Han army in the rear.Even in the face of the crazily hacking and killing of the soldiers of the Eight Banners Han soldiers, those soldiers who fled were still running back desperately.

"Defeated?" Shi Tingzhu held the long knife and looked at Binzhou Town, which was beginning to retreat one after another, with an expression of disbelief on his face.Our Qing army is clearly several times stronger than the enemy. In addition, there are more than a thousand armored cavalry and nearly a thousand elite infantry who have experienced the Liaodong War. How could they be defeated by a mere thousand enemy troops?
"Assault from the whole army!" Jiang Yongrui, the commander-in-chief of the Ming New Army standing at the foot of the city, saw the collapse of the Jiannu formation from a distance, pointed the long knife in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Kill the Jiannu and make meritorious deeds. Today!"

Bahana led more than [-] Eight Banners armored riders, and slowly rode on the side of the black-clothed army formation. Seeing that they still maintained a strict formation without showing any flaws at all, he couldn't help but sighed in his heart. Thinking that seeing their own infantry collapse and flee, the other party will make them overjoyed, and then spread out to chase and kill the infantry led by Shi Tingzhu.At that time, I can lead more than [-] cavalry to attack and kill those lone firecrackers.Unexpectedly, when the opponent was victorious, they still maintained a sober posture and were always on high alert against their cavalry.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!..." Suddenly, several small cannons were launched from the flanks of the black-clothed army formation, and it was a burst of bombardment at the cavalry gathered together, causing the cavalry formation to become chaotic.
"Let's retreat!" Bahana shouted loudly, and then galloped towards the southwest.

In this service, Jian Nu was defeated at the foot of Ye County, losing more than [-] horses and horses. The Eight Banners Han Army's five ginseng leaders and Zuo leaders below the real stone pillars inlaid with red flags and solid mountains were also trapped in the battle, and all their belongings were taken away. He retreated to Qingzhou in embarrassment.

On September 9, Zhao Yingyuan, the former Li Zicheng Dashun Army's lieutenant general, captured Qingzhou by swindling surrender, and captured Wang Aoyong, the governor of Shandong and Henan, with the title of Minister of the Household Department and Minister of Industry of the Qing Dynasty, and beheaded him.Then he recruited troops, robbed the treasury, organized and trained the troops, and successively captured Suozhen (now Huantai, Shandong), Le'an (now north of Yidu County, Shandong) and other places, and Jinan was shaken.

On September 9th, Zhao Yingyuan's more than 8 men suddenly attacked the defeated Jiannu army in Changle County, east of Qingzhou, and captured and killed more than [-] people. Jinan.

Dengzhou, Laizhou, Qingzhou, and other prefectures and counties to the west of Jinan heard of the disastrous defeat of Jiannu in Ye County, so they raised the banner of Ming Dynasty and put them all under the prince's jurisdiction.As a result, great changes have taken place in Shandong!

Beijing shakes, and the whole world looks sideways!
