Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 219 Bloody Battle

When these rebels were in the Ming Dynasty, they had no fighting spirit against the Dongyao cavalry.

After surrendering to the captives, their combat power soared. They braved the Ming army's bullets and began to shoot arrows to kill the Ming army. It seems that they were born to be dog slaves.

Although this tactic was completely courting death, due to the huge advantage in numbers, it still temporarily suppressed the Ming army's flintlock guns.

In everyone's impression, the Ming army's combat power was very poor, and it was often defeated in one battle against the Eight Banners captured by the East.

But there are prerequisites. Not to mention the fact that the military pay is not paid in arrears, and they are also severely exploited. Often, even the problem of food and clothing cannot be solved. Which soldier is willing to work hard for you.

All this has undergone tremendous changes after Zhu Youjian crossed over. Every month, the military pay is a lot of three taels of silver, and it is paid in full and on time. Corrupt officials are almost extinct.

Although the Ming army still has a gap with Dongyao in terms of combat power due to lack of training, but in terms of will and spirit, it is no worse than Dongyao Eight Banners.

Seeing that the soldiers were shot with arrows one after another, the eyes of nearly a thousand coachmen and handymen were red.

Without Huang Fei's order, they immediately grabbed their shields and rushed to the Ming army's fusiliers.

Use your own body and shield to resist the rain of arrows for them, regardless of your body being exposed to the rain of arrows.

"Da da da……"

The flintlock stopped for a while, and the rebel cavalry rushed to the place where they were more than 30 steps away. As long as the horses speeded up, they could touch the grain cart.

"Bang bang..."

Suddenly, the flintlock guns of the Ming army fired intensively again. After the distance was shortened, the hit rate of the flintlock guns was higher. Blood mist was splashed on the rebel cavalry, and they fell off their horses one after another.

The two Ming army support teams in the car formation became the busiest people, they were running around inside, filling up immediately if there was no danger.

After the Ming army suffered casualties, with their support, the combat power was not greatly affected. Without them, there must have been a gap opened by the rebels long ago.

In this fierce battle, the Ming army fought more with less, and has not yet been captured by the East.

Of course, it was related to Huang Fei's tactics, but more importantly, it was the determination and will of Ming soldiers to fight to the death for Ming.

There were five or six wounded soldiers standing beside Huang Fei. They could no longer raise their guns, but they did not retreat, and they were still loading bullets for Huang Fei.

What a Huang Fei, he took the gun without aiming, and killed a rebel when he pulled the trigger. These five or six wounded soldiers were loaded with ammunition, which was just enough for him to shoot and kill the bandit soldiers.

"Grandma, is the Ming army so powerful now? Let this general rush forward."

Seeing that so many of them were in a stalemate with the Ming army, Meng Qiaofang and Sun Dingliao were furious, and immediately ordered the private soldiers around them to charge.

There were more than 1000 elites around the two rebels, and they immediately mobilized their horses to kill the Ming army when they heard the order.

The rebels in front of the formation suffered a large number of casualties under the fierce fire of the Ming army's flintlock guns, and many people had already stopped fighting timidly.

But driven by these elites, they rushed up again.

The Ming army under Huang Fei's command is not a systematic summoner, and does not have the combat power of a summoner. Although he has the determination to die, his ultimate ability is limited.

The thousand elite rebels who just went up became the last straw that broke the camel's camel's back. Soon the right wing of the Ming army was broken by the rebels.

Several large carriages full of grain and grass were instantly overturned by the rebels, and the rebels rushed into the car formation like a flood. The Ming army could only pick up their flintlock guns and quickly install bayonets to fight them hand-to-hand.

Seeing that the chariot formation had been breached, Shuotuo immediately ordered Xianghongqi to attack the Ming army.

The Ming army, which was able to rely on the advantage of the flintlock gun to fight against Dongyao just now, can only be forced to fight the enemy in hand-to-hand combat that they are not good at.

Huang Fei knew it was over. Not only could he not keep food and military supplies today, but his entire army of the Ming Navy might be wiped out.

Pulling out the bayonet and putting it on the flintlock, Huang Fei shouted loudly:
"Soldiers, go to the bayonet formation to fight them, the driver is going to set fire to the grain truck."

"Yes"

The Ming army and the rebel army in front were in a bitter battle at this time, and a small group was almost wiped out. With their desperate resistance, Huang Fei had the opportunity to command the remaining Ming army and quickly formed two phalanxes.

Facing the impact of the cavalry, if the infantry cannot cooperate to fight, they will soon be dispersed by the cavalry. Once dispersed, it means being slaughtered.

Only by forming a phalanx can we have a certain combat effectiveness, and can the Ming army reduce the possibility of being unilaterally slaughtered by the opponent to the greatest extent.

Huang Fei held a bayonet-mounted flintlock gun and stood at the front of the phalanx, looking coldly at the rebels rushing forward.

The cavalrymen who charged up first came up to him, and just as they raised their scimitars high, Huang Fei stabbed forward with the bayonet in his hand and shouted loudly:

"prick"

"puff"

The bayonet on his flintlock pistol slammed into his opponent's body.

At the same time, the scimitars in the hands of the dozen or so cavalrymen who had just rushed over had already been pierced into a hornet's nest by the Ming army's bayonets.

A hundred rebel cavalrymen on the other side of the phalanx were also stabbed to death by bayonets on the periphery of the infantry phalanx.

The Ming army in the phalanx took the opportunity to load bullets and immediately fired at the swarming rebel cavalry.

"Bang bang..."

There was a burst of gunfire, and another hundred rebel cavalrymen were killed by flintlock guns.

However, there are more and more opponent cavalry, and there are rebel cavalry in all directions, and Dongyao Xianghongqi also joined the battle at this time.

Although the weak Ming army relied on the infantry phalanx to resist desperately, it still suffered a large number of casualties immediately.

Soon the phalanx was dispersed by the rebels and the Tartars, and the scattered Ming soldiers fell one by one under the knives of the rebels and the Tartars.

But when they fell down, as long as they still had a breath, they would exhaust their last bit of strength and stab the bayonet into the opponent's body before closing their eyes. The death was very heroic.

Huang Fei swung his bayonet and stabbed a rebel to death, then turned around and ordered the coachman:
"Coach drivers, there are no traitors behind us for the time being, so quickly set fire to the grain carts and die with them."

Huang Fei knew that there were many cars with ammunition and guns in them, and these things must not fall into the hands of Dongbao.

Once captured by the East, they will all become weapons to kill the people of Ming Dynasty.

As long as they are lit, not only will the Tartars be busy for nothing, but under the burning and explosion of gunpowder, the Tartars will definitely suffer heavy casualties.

"General...we will execute immediately."

These food, grass and military supplies were all brought by them with hard work. The coachmen had tears in their eyes, although they were very reluctant,
But they would not disobey Huang Fei's order, and quickly lit the torches, ready to throw them on the grain truck.

At this time, Shuo Tuo rushed to kill him. Seeing that the Ming army was going to burn the food and grass, he was of course unwilling, and immediately sent an order:

"Come here and shoot them with arrows, don't let them set the grain truck on fire."

"twitter"

The Dongyao cavalry who followed him immediately took off their bows and arrows, and began to shoot arrows at the coachmen holding torches.

"Whizzing……"

With the sound of the bowstring, a rain of arrows flew towards the drivers and servants who wanted to light the grain carts.

"Quick, protect the coachman."

Seeing that the situation was not good, Huang Fei yelled loudly at the Ming army beside the coachmen.

More than 100 Ming soldiers quickly picked up the scattered shields on the ground, formed a shield formation in front of the coachmen, and shot most of the arrows at the coachmen's handyman.

However, a small number of arrows still hit the coachman and handyman. Regardless of the arrows in their bodies, they were still going to throw the torches in their hands at the grain cart.

"Da da da……"

Suddenly there was a loud noise, and the whole ground began to shake violently.

Behind the Tartars and the rebels, a cavalry team in black clothes and armor suddenly appeared, like a black whirlwind, quickly rushed into the bandit formation.
