Ming Zuo

Chapter 180

In fact, Amin has been waiting for the opportunity.

When it got dark, he knew that the opportunity had come.

But after observing the battle between Turge and Zuo Rong, he changed his mind on the spot.

Turg didn't know what happened behind him.

His men finally filled the trench and rushed howling towards the First Battalion.

The distance of [-] to [-] meters can be reached in the blink of an eye. No matter how sharp the muskets of the first brigade are, it is impossible to stop them.

Zuo Rong also knew this very well, and immediately ordered.

"Go on the bayonet!"

clap la la...

The soldiers who were still alive hung bayonets on their muskets one after another, lined up in a tight queue, and greeted the enemy.

The battle finally entered the cruelest stage of hand-to-hand combat.

The advantage of the post-gold heavy infantry is that it has armor and high protection; the advantage of the first brigade is that after adding a bayonet to the musket, the length is comparable to a long gun, and it has the advantage of distance.

What is one inch short and one inch dangerous is completely useless on the battlefield.

In this kind of place where people are crowded and people are next to each other, a longer weapon is a huge advantage.

Even if you have three heads and six arms, it is impossible to avoid the damage from stabs in all directions.

After the first wave of fighting, the Hou Jinbing suffered a heavy loss, and even Turg was also folded in it.

When he saw the bayonet coming, he didn't care, and didn't think the thin blade was of any use.

What I thought was to simply use the heavy armor to carry it, and then swung the knife to chop off the opponent's head, thus opening the gap.

However, when the bayonet pierced his heart like cutting tofu, he was stupid.

He is wearing three layers of armor, why can such a thin knife pierce through it?

The heart twitched violently, quickly taking away his heat, causing Turge to become fierce before he died, and swung a knife to chop off, wanting to replace one before dying.

But the bayonet stabbed next to him prevented his raised arm from falling down, and it turned into a puddle of mud.

Huang Taiji's brother-in-law, Xiangbai Banner Gushan Ezhen, one of the Eight Ministers, just died at the hands of several unknown ordinary soldiers.

If it was the past, if an important official like him died in battle, the Hou Jin soldiers would definitely collapse.But at this time, they had no way out, so they couldn't care less.

Namutai, Kurchan, and Gao Hongzhong still clenched their teeth and rushed forward, and soon they were strangled with the first group.

The heavy armor of the Houjin soldiers had no protective effect at all in front of the fine steel bayonets of the Houying.Basically, you can wear it as soon as you tie it, and die as soon as you tie it.

Although the first brigade was small, the result of hand-to-hand combat was still unacceptable to the Jurchens.

Na Mutai only felt surrounded by forests of bayonets, he was in a panic, and couldn't help shouting: "Where's Big Baylor? Where is he?"

It was agreed that their heavy infantry opened the gap, and then the cavalry rushed to kill them.

Why didn't Shuo Tuo's cavalry come up?
On the east bank of the Shahe River, Chakara and Tang Gudai also crashed into the formation of the fourth brigade.

The first wave of cavalry charge caused tragic casualties to the Fourth Battalion.But then these few remaining cavalry fell into the crowd of infantry, and were stabbed off their horses one by one.

When the horse lost its speed, Chakara only hated why he only had a saber in his hand.

That short saber couldn't cut people at all, but the Ming army's bayonet was extremely fierce.

After a while, he was stabbed in multiple places on the chest, back, thigh, and abdomen, and he staggered to the ground. His twitching body was deformed by countless big feet.

Seeing that Chakala and Tang Gudai's troops were about to be completely wiped out, the ground suddenly trembled violently.

This is the harbinger of the cavalry charge, and it also represents the crazy blow that will never return from the most powerful arms of this era.

What everyone didn't expect was that the cavalry of the Houjin Headquarters was attacking in a direction other than the west bank of the river guarded by the first brigade.

It turned out that Amin had observed at the beginning of the war.

Although a brigade was deployed in front of the formation on both sides of the river, it was obvious that behind the first brigade, there was another phalanx with a similar number of people preparing.

In other words, even if he put all his strength up and defeated the brigade in front of him, the Ming army still had an equal number of troops to fill up.

At that time, the cavalry will be weak in succession, and it must be the fate of being gradually eaten away by the infantry.

So taking advantage of the cover of night and dusk, he quietly led the cavalry of Shuotuo's headquarters across the Shahe River, and appeared behind Chakara and Tang Gudai.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when Chakala and Tang Gudai broke into the fourth brigade, Amin finally showed his fangs.

His choice also made the back camp somewhat underestimated.It never occurred to Amin that he would really dare to abandon the official road and choose the rugged east bank as his main attack.

Zuo Yong, who was on the front line, was under great pressure, and killed a Houjin soldier casually, and immediately ordered: "The tenth squadron will deal with the remnants of the enemy, and the eleventh and twelve squadrons will line up."

Just after giving the order, he happened to see through the binoculars the cavalry of the Houjin Headquarters approaching rapidly.

It's okay if you don't look at it, but after looking at it, he couldn't help but feel like a ghost, and immediately changed his mind.

"Retreat, all retreat, retreat to the mountainsides on both sides."

What did he see?

What he saw was that countless herds of horses were swarming towards him, but there was no one on the horses.

Behind the smoke and dust of the galloping horses, there seemed to be countless people running after them.

He was not mistaken, for this fatal blow, Amin adopted an unconventional tactic.

That is to let all the cavalry dismount, and then urge the horses to charge into the formation by themselves, and he leads the army to follow and attack behind the horse formation.

The reason why he did this was because Amin had observed the terrain on the east bank long ago.

After the plain is the mountain, and it is impossible for the cavalry to spread out on it.If you want to attack, you can only fight on foot.

The most important thing for Hou Jin now is to open up a way out of customs.No matter how precious war horses are, it doesn't matter at this time.

There are about [-] cavalry in the headquarters, which is the last property of the Hou Jin Army.The only way to escape is to rely on the foot battle of these people to overwhelm the fourth brigade.

Zuo Yong saw this scene and called his subordinates to retreat.Otherwise, few of them would survive under the trampling of the horse herd.

However, his order was questioned by the deputy captain Chen He.

"The artillery brigade is on the hillside. Let's withdraw. What will they do?"

Zuo Yong thought of Zuo Menggeng's teachings without any hesitation.

"Let the reconnaissance brigade withstand it, and it must withstand it."

Subsequently, the fourth brigade retreated while fighting, and retreated to the mountain ridges on both sides.

A large group of horses galloped over, trampled all the living and dead things in the middle of the open space into mud, and then began to rush to the hillside of the artillery brigade.

In front of the artillery brigade, there was a squadron of reconnaissance brigade acting as a temporary guard.

Seeing the horses coming up, the squadron leader immediately shouted: "Grenades, grenades, throw them out!"

More than a hundred soldiers lit clay pot grenades one after another, and threw them into the horses.

Amidst the raging roar and flames, a large group of war horses crashed to the ground, causing the group of horses to completely lose control and began to run wildly.

When the horses no longer work together to run in one direction, it will be much less difficult for the various departments of the rear camp to deal with.

But after such a short time, Amin personally led the infantry and cavalry to come up.

As soon as they came up, there was a rain of arrows all over the sky, and more than [-] scouts were shot dead.

Seeing that the enemy was approaching within [-] meters, these soldiers only fired one round of bullets and another round of grenades, but they were no longer able to stop the enemy.

Some soldiers saw the roaring and howling enemies, and they were so frightened that they retreated steadily, and couldn't help but want to run away.

The squadron leader also knew that he couldn't stop the enemy, and just about to order to retreat, he saw a soldier pull out his bayonet and press it on the barrel of the gun.

"Zhao Sanyang, what are you going to do?"

The soldier turned around, it was Zhao Sanyang.

Both of his eyes were full of blood and tears, but they were full of decisive madness.

"My brother is not cowardly, nor am I! Have you forgotten what Qian Zuo said? Think about your old lady!"

After yelling, he didn't care about the others, and rushed up to the incoming Jin army with a bayonet in his hand.

"kill!"

Zhao Sanyang's madness gave everyone an incomparable stimulus.

The squadron leader was also crazy, and also installed a bayonet on the gun.

"Even if I die here today, I can't let these beasts go there!"

"Revenge for all the people who died!"

I don't know who yelled, and in an instant there was a sound of shouting and killing. All the scouts completely forgot the dogma they had learned in the past, and launched a countercharge with bayonets in their hands.

On the hillside, it immediately became a meat grinder.

Li Xiangzhu, who was right behind these scouts, of course saw the situation.

Before and after the gold headquarters cavalry was far away, invisible in the dark, and the artillery could not be used at all.Now that he was right under his nose, and the scouts rushing were scattered, he also lost his mind.

To watch a group of golden soldiers rush past the reconnaissance company and rush forward, he immediately shouted.

"Fire the cannon and blast the Tartars down!"

A soldier shouted: "The team is upright, the cannon can't hit it!"

Li Xiangzhu threw away his hat, ran over a few times and dug the gun mount out of the soil.He just hugged the gun mount like that and forced the barrel down.At the same time, he grabbed the torch and lit the fuse.

The soldiers were terrified.

"The team is..."

Li Xiangzhu is like a mountain abyss, firm and straight.

boom……

The cannon came out of the chamber and penetrated into Houjin's array at a distance of twenty meters.In an instant, the sound of the explosion swept away all the nearby Tartars.

Li Xiangzhu's body flew upside down like a rag, and didn't stop until he hit a stone.

He split his legs, his entire upper body was supported by stones, and when he opened his mouth, splashing blood flowed everywhere along with the broken internal organs.

"Fire...fire...fire..."

The team fell down, causing the remaining artillerymen to lose their minds. They lifted up the cannons with their flesh and blood, and bombarded the golden army with their faces.

At this point in the battle, life and death are forgotten!
Their only belief is to avenge the team!
