The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 640 Finally Killed Him All

A large number of artillery shells from the Qing soldiers flew in, hitting the Ming army's rear from time to time, clearly wanting to destroy the Ming army's artillery.

Zhang Qidong watched the bloody battle between his infantry battalion and the Qing soldiers in front of him, and he had to pay huge casualties for every ten meters he advanced.

It is too difficult to advance a few hundred meters in this way, and the road is full of dead bodies and wounded on both sides.

After thinking about it carefully, he stretched out his hand and summoned a group of artillerymen: "Clean up the front and let our artillery push forward faster."

Then, ignoring the shells still flying above his head, he suddenly shouted to the surroundings: "The Tartars and we have been defeated repeatedly, and we hate our Dongjiang soldiers to the bone."

"Once our infantry is defeated, everyone will die. No one can outrun the cavalry with boots."

"Only by fighting in blood and helping the infantry win a big victory can we survive."

"Give it to me, hit the forward cavalry of the Tartars, hit hard." Zhang Qidong said.

The generals were shocked. If they stopped firing, they would be more likely to be hit by Qing artillery.

Just now they pushed all the way, they were moving, and they kept twisting and changing positions, so they suffered less damage.

Now that they suddenly stopped firing, the Qing soldiers' Hongyi cannons could hit them even more.

But immediately, no one hesitated, and they began to prepare and load the shells.

Not long after, boom, a shell flew up, fluttered, and landed in the forward clearing formation.

"Chi la" the shells tore apart wildly, the Qing soldiers screamed, many horses fell down, and people turned on their backs.

Dorgon was shocked and angry, the Ming army's artillery was really accurate, and regardless of the Ming army in front, he would shoot at their forwards.

Ming people are crazy, aren't they afraid of defeating their own people?

This is closer than the archers just now, and it seems that they can hit the front line of the Ming army at any time.

"What is Wu Jinsheng doing? Tell him to beat him hard and knock out all the Ming army's cannons." Dole yelled frantically in pain.

The cannons of the Qing soldiers also crazily fired at the cannons of the Ming army.

Both sides were fighting each other, the Qing soldiers fired the Ming army's cannons, and the Ming army fired the Qing soldiers' cavalry.

After waiting for a while, bang bang bang, the Ming army fired dozens of cannons and rushed into the Qing barracks. The Qing soldiers were killed and injured, and the forwards screamed and retreated. The Ming army quickly took this opportunity to advance.

The wounded Qing soldiers were constantly stabbed and killed along the road, and there were wailing and crying everywhere on the battlefield.

Plop, at this time a shell landed in the formation of the Ming army, with a bang, it hit a cannon carriage.

The artillery jumped up, then fell over, several artillerymen screamed, some broke their legs, some broke their hands.

Another cannonball flew over and fell on the ground without hitting it, but when it jumped up and rolled forward, it hit the artillerymen behind with a bang, and the artillerymen screamed again.

"Go forward..." Zhang Qidong saw that they fired a cannon, and indeed the Qing soldiers retreated. He immediately gave the order and followed the infantry to push forward.

Once the artillery walks up, the opponent is not very easy to fight.

They just stop and go, moving forward like ants moving house.

In about a quarter of an hour, we moved forward to about two miles and 300 meters.

But at this time, only 29 of their artillery were still moving, and there were even fewer artillery.

The Ming Army infantry battalion in front was less than [-], and about [-] were either killed or unable to fight anymore. When they pushed the cannons forward on the road, they could see their companions lying on the ground helplessly screaming from time to time.

Wang Weizhong didn't bring a doctor with him, so it was basically difficult for him to survive whether he was seriously injured or slightly injured.

Because there were too many casualties in front, and there were corpses of Qing soldiers, it became more and more difficult for their artillery to move forward.

Many artillerymen had to move the wounded and dead, and drive the horses.

Boom, suddenly a shell fell from the sky, and with a puff, it hit the middle of the two Ming soldiers who were carrying the corpses of the Qing soldiers and clearing the roadblocks.

The two of them didn't even have time to scream and died tragically at the scene.

Zhang Qidong looked sad, surprised and angry.

He looked up and looked around, the artillery under his hand was dwindling.

"Cannonball, get the cannonball at the back." Someone shouted at this time.

"And gunpowder."

There were all kinds of shouts on the field, and there were people everywhere, because the artillerymen suffered heavy casualties, and there were no people who took gunpowder and cannonballs.

"My lord, Ding Yi's troops are about to be defeated, let's go." At this moment, Xu Fuzuo led five hundred cavalry at the rear of the chariot formation and did not move.

His servant captain whispered to him at this moment.

These five hundred cavalry are all his servants, and they are also his most elite troops.

When Ding Yi trained him and Yang Zhen's subordinates, all the servants also participated.

But Yang Zhen didn't lead the army, so his servant almost didn't know Yang Zhen after training.

And Xu Fuzuo brought his servants, who have always been his confidantes.

Xu Fuzuo's face changed a few times, and he turned his head to look around.

Many servants showed fear on their faces. After all, people are afraid of death. If they can escape for their lives, why leave a bloody battle?
Xu Fuzuo is sure that as long as he gives the order to go, all the cavalry will follow him immediately.

He was circling quickly in his mind, remembering bits and pieces of the past with Ding Yi.

At this moment, suddenly out of the corner of his eye, he saw someone pushing a cart beside him. He took a closer look and found that it was one of Ding Yi's wounded soldiers.

Before the Qing army attacked the chariot formation, the Ming army had nearly a hundred casualties.

At this time, they probably knew that there were not enough manpower in front, and a few wounded soldiers stood up limping and were pushing a large cart.

The cart was loaded with shells and gunpowder.

Several of them were injured, and those who were left here stood up one after another at this time, pushing the cart forward with all their strength.

Then, more wounded soldiers stood up and began to move forward, helping to push the carts.

An artilleryman ran over from a distance, and the artilleryman glanced at Xu Fuzuo, turned around and went to push the cart without finishing his sentence.

Xu Fuzuo took a deep breath and closed his eyes slightly. He knew that the following would be the most important decision in his life.

He looked at the bloody Ming army and Qing soldiers on the field, took a breath again, turned his head to look at the servants, and said loudly: "Since the rise of Jiannu, my Ming Dynasty has been defeated repeatedly. On the battlefield, discard the generals whose friendly troops fled first."

"This town doesn't want to be written into the history books of shame in the future."

The faces of all the families were flushed, and some people were already very excited.

Xu Fuzuo's voice suddenly became several times louder: "Whether it's fighting or going, this town will never force it. Brothers and I have been with me for many years, how can this town send you to a dead end."

"I would like to stay with this town, let's go." Zheng, after Xu Fuzuo finished speaking, he shouted, pulled out the matching knife, and then straightened his helmet.

He took the lead and rushed out on horseback.

With a bang, a large group of cavalry also rushed out following Xu Fuzuo.

Soon there were only a dozen or so riders left on the scene. These people looked at each other, glanced at each other, and walked away. Some of them gritted their teeth, turned around, and fled the battlefield first.

Half of the twenty or so riders followed him and fled the battlefield, while the other half hesitated and chased after Xu Fuzuo.

Xu Fu played five hundred servants, but only a dozen of them fled the scene in the end, which is considered excellent.

At this time, the Ming army and the Qing army fought desperately in front of them, and there were casualties at every step.

The blunderbusses of the blunderbuss soldiers had already been destroyed, so they picked up the spears from the ground and continued.

And the artillery of the Ming army, against the artillery of the Qing soldiers, was fighting the Qing soldiers' infantry, forcing the Qing soldiers to retreat repeatedly, and the Ming army approached frantically.

When Xu Fuzuo's soldiers and horses ran to the front, Zhang Qidong's artillery battalion had less than fifteen cannons still firing.

When Zhang Qidong saw Xu Fuzuo approaching, he said loudly: "Mr. Xu, stay in the team and help push the cannon."

They had too many artillery casualties, a lot of artillery was fine, but not enough artillery.

Xu Fuzuo immediately dispatched more than 200 people to dismount to help push the cannon, transport the shells, and clear the road ahead, because the road ahead was full of dead bodies and wounded from both sides.

Another team of cavalry rushed forward after him, and when they reached the rear of the Ming army, Xu Fuzuo's eyes were red.

Wang Weizhong had more than 5000 soldiers and horses, now less than [-], and the pikemen in front almost suffered heavy casualties, and now they are less than [-].

A large number of gunmen also turned into pikemen and stood in front.

The longer the pikemen stand in front of them, the more enemies the gunmen behind them will kill.

The Qing soldiers also knew that the Ming army's guns were powerful, so they kept shooting at them with bows and arrows.

All the gunmen had a lot of arrows stuck in their bodies, the most with nearly twenty arrows stuck in them, and they were still shooting, looking like a hedgehog.

"Let's go, let's all go to the front." Xu Fuzuo jumped off his horse, the cavalry here was useless, and almost all the Qing cavalry dismounted to fight the Ming army.

He rushed up with more than 200 people and rushed to the front of the gunmen.

"Kill." The shouts of killing on the scene shook the sky, and the new strength of the Ming army rushed forward, entangled with the Qing soldiers in an instant.

Xu Fuzuo was rushing forward with a knife in his hand, when he was caught halfway by a man who dragged him with a plop and dragged him to the ground.

He was furious, and turned his head to see that it was Wang Weizhong.

Wang Weizhong was hit by at least five arrows in his shoulder and stomach, and one arrow in his helmet.

"Mr. Xu, don't be impulsive. Mr. Ding said he wants Brother Xu to go back alive."

Wang Weizhong turned his head: "Someone, come here, take Xu Zongbing down."

"You are defeated, can I go back alive? You bastard, get out of the way." Xu Fuzuo was furious, and with a wave of his long knife, Wang Weizhong's soldiers did not dare to attack.

Wang Weizhong sighed, yes, they are going to lose, and Xu can escape there, unless Xu leaves now.

"Let's go. Let's kill the Tartars together." Xu Fuzuo laughed loudly and raised his saber.

Wang Weizhong quickly followed.

far away.

Dorgon and the others had serious expressions on their faces, and the expressions of many nobles of the Qing Dynasty were shocked.

Since the Battle of Hunhe that year, this is the most fighting Ming army they have ever seen.

Although they have been fighting with Ding Yi's subordinates for so many years and they have been defeated many times, it is indeed beyond their surprise that the Ming army has not collapsed despite the overall upper hand.

"Ruo Ding Yi's soldiers and horses are all like this, it will be really difficult to fight in the future." Dorgon frowned.

This battle has been fought so far, the Ming army has suffered nearly 2000 casualties, and their casualties are nearly [-].

Basically two for one.

But this is already a remarkable record.

Every time I fought with Ding Yi's troops before, it wasn't a big defeat.

Huang Taiji is not as good as me, and Dorgon suddenly became happy. If he wins this battle, he can boast for the rest of his life after returning home.

Just when he was about to enter Feifei, Hauge came over on horseback: "The Ming army used artillery to attack our infantry, why didn't our artillery attack the Ming army infantry?"

Kong Youde, who was standing beside Dorgon, immediately said: "The two armies are very close. Their pikemen are fighting hand to hand with our soldiers and horses, and it is easy to hit our own people."

"Won't the Ming army hit our own people?" Hauge said angrily.

"The Ming army --- fought more accurately than us." Kong Youde bit the bullet and said: "We hit the front line."

Dorgon naturally saw it. Because there were more Qing soldiers, the Ming army's artillery mainly hit the front of the Qing soldiers, which made the Qing soldiers a little afraid when they rushed forward. The army has no advantage.

Conversely, it was difficult for their artillery to hit the back of the Ming army, because there were few Ming soldiers, and the rear was artillery.

So they are all firing the Ming army's artillery.

"It's better to listen to King Ershun to use the cannon." Dorgon said with a smile at this time.

Hauge is the son of Huang Taiji, of course he helps Kong Youde.

Hauge was very upset: "Don't waste time, just shoot the Ming infantry directly with cannons, even if there are accidental injuries, it's okay, we should destroy them as soon as possible."

What he meant was to fight directly regardless of the casualties of his own people.

This kind of fighting can indeed defeat the Ming army very quickly, but there are three armies of Manchu, Han, and Mongolian in front of you. It is okay for you to beat your own people. What will the Mongolian and Han armies think?
Dorgon's expression was unhappy, and he felt that Hauge was still the same as Sheng Nuzhen, with no brains at all.

If the Qing Dynasty wanted to fight for the world, of course it had to have a good relationship with Hanmeng, how could it do such a chilling thing.

"I'm afraid that the cannonballs will hit our own people. The Ming army is determined and disciplined. If our people collapse first, the Ming army will take advantage of the situation to kill us. Wouldn't it be a big defeat?" Kong Youde said in a low voice.

That's right, many people at the scene believed it.

They had already seen the strict discipline of the Ming army, and they began to bombard the battalion heavily. The Ming army suffered heavy casualties, but the formation remained unchanged and continued to move forward.

Now that the artillery of the Ming army is attacking the Qing cavalry, if your own artillery also hits your own people, it is possible that the Qing soldiers in front will collapse first.

At that time, the Ming army will take advantage of the situation to hide and kill, and the big victory may turn into a big defeat.

"Prince Su, don't worry." Du Du said at this time: "Our victory is imminent, and the Ming army won't last long."

Everyone also nodded.

Now the Qing soldiers in the front are also fighting very well, and they are consumed layer by layer. The Ming army is getting fewer and fewer as the battle progresses.

Although Xu Fuzuo also went up with more than 200 horses, I believe it will not take long for all of them to die in battle.

Sure enough, not long after, the front row of the Ming army became less and less, and after a while, more than 200 Xu Fuzuo soldiers and horses who helped behind came up again.

At this time, the Ming army had less than 500 people.

Wang Weizhong and Xu Fu have more than 6000 soldiers and horses, and more than half of them have been killed or injured.

If it was replaced by other Ming armies, it is estimated that they would have collapsed long ago.

At this time, there were about [-] of them in the front row, and [-] musketeers in the back row.

After the number of blunderbusses decreased, the power of the blunderbusses was greatly reduced, and almost all the blunderbusses were injured. The death and injury of the Ming army became faster and faster.

Time passed little by little, and with the continuous bloody battle and consumption between the two sides, the Ming army soon had less than 2000 people.

The fewer soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, the fewer gunmen, and the faster the casualties.

One thousand and five.

one thousand.

The Ming army was being consumed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At this time, it can be seen that there must be more blunderbusses to be powerful. The fewer the blunderbusses of the Ming army, the faster the casualties. At this time, the casualties of the Qing soldiers slowed down instead.

At this time, all the remaining Ming troops were oppressed by them in the southeast corner of Qingshuibo. The road leading to Tianjin had been cleared, and the road was full of dead bodies and wounded soldiers from both sides.

At this time, the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty could leave from the edge of Qingshuibo and go northward to Tianjin at any time.

But right now, of course they want to annihilate this Ming army completely to relieve their anger.

Seeing that the victory was just around the corner, Dorgon took a deep breath, lashed the air hard with his whip, and said excitedly: "Ding Mouse has today too."

Finally all his soldiers and horses were wiped out.
