At the end of Ming Dynasty: I, Sun Kewang!Desperate comeback!

Chapter 221 Defensive counterattack, war elephant shows its power

At that time, his three brothers had surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, but they were afraid of the Qing Dynasty. The eldest brother Wang Guangen died tragically.

Now he is the only one left among the three brothers. How could he not avenge such a bloody feud!

"Tatars, if you dare to shave my hair, I will kill you!" He Zhen sneered.

He saw that the situation was hopeless and surrendered, but when the order to shave his hair came, he became dissatisfied and ready to take action.

It didn't take long for him to raise the flag of righteousness in Hanzhong and persist in resisting the Qing Dynasty until now.

"Okay!" Li Laiheng was overjoyed when he saw the situation.

"Our troops in Kuidong must reorganize quickly and head south to Baoqing in three days!"

"Listen to Little Tiger." All the generals agreed.

When Wen Anzhi saw this, his vision went dark and he almost collapsed on the ground.

"I, the Ming Dynasty, will die not by captives, but by thieves!" He cried out sadly, full of desolation.

Two days later, Zhang Hu led people to the city of Changde.

Suddenly, I found that the entire Changde City was in the process of preparing troops and preparing to send troops, as if they were about to send troops.

Not only that, many white flags were flying on top of the city, and in the camp outside the city, many loyal soldiers were dressed in white.

"Don't worry, Duke Chang. Our army will go to Baoqing immediately to avenge the late emperor!"

Li Laiheng's head was wrapped in a white scarf, looking murderous.

"Lin Guo Gong is very righteous, I will report back to the king right now!" Zhang Hu was overjoyed and quickly said.

The next day, preparations are complete.

Countless soldiers of the Shun Army embarked on the road south for revenge, and Li Laiheng and others tried their best.

The soldiers and horses in Changde came out in full force.

More than [-] elite soldiers are marching towards Baoqing rapidly.

At the same time, in the Zijiang area, Sun Kewang's main force has already started fighting with Dhoni.

"Fire!" Donnie ordered, and a flag waved.

The artillery of the Qing army launched an artillery bombardment towards the camp of the Qianqian Army.

With a bang, a red cannonball hit the wooden wall of the camp, instantly opening a gap.

Immediately afterwards, more red artillery shells came, blasting the camp of the former army full of holes.

Sun Ke looked up the mountain and frowned slightly.

Although the camp he set up west of Zijiang had been reinforced for many days.

But no matter what, it will never be as strong as a city.

But fortunately, Dhoni has artillery, and Sun Kewang also has artillery. And compared to Dhoni, Sun Kewang not only has more cannons, but they are also better!

"Give the order, all cannons, fire!"

In an instant, preset artillery positions on various hills opened fire.

Six-pound, [-]-pound, and [-]-pound red-coated artillery, commanding from a high position, launched an artillery battle with the Qing army.

With a loud bang, an [-]-pound artillery shell hit the Qing army's artillery position.

A red-coated cannon was immediately destroyed, and the Qing artillery near the cannon was also eliminated.

Immediately afterwards, countless artillery shells rained down on the generals, blasting the Qing army until they howled like ghosts.

"Damn it! Thief Sun is condescending, and our army's heavy artillery is at the rear. If we start an artillery battle with him, it will be me who suffers after all!" Donnie gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

Hunan has a hilly terrain. Although the terrain is slightly flatter in the Baoqing Fucheng area, there are still many hills.

There is no doubt that Sun Kewang, who came first, will occupy these commanding heights.

In the Zijiang area, the Daxi Army firmly grasped the commanding heights and set up artillery positions.

In an artillery battle with such an opponent, Dhoni was already at a disadvantage.

In addition, the Qing army came from western Yunnan and rushed day and night to reach Baoqing.

Although with the efforts of Dorney and others, small and medium-sized artillery as well as light and medium-sized red-coat guns were transported to the battlefield.

However, the heavy red-coated cannon was too bulky and difficult to carry. No matter how hard Donnie tried, it was still stuck in the rear.

Therefore, Dhoni, whose terrain was unfavorable and lacked heavy artillery, could not take advantage of Sun Kewang in the artillery battle.

"Your Majesty, although our army is at a disadvantage in the artillery battle, Nikan is easy to kill. Let's wait for our red-coated artillery to fire a few more rounds."

"With the Green Camp as the vanguard, our Eight Banner Heavenly Soldiers will definitely be able to defeat Sun Kewang's camp in one battle and annihilate the tens of thousands of bandit troops west of Zijiang!" Dulan said.

The Qing army has always been confident in its combat power. Although the artillery battle was unfavorable, Du Lan and other Eight Banners generals were still confident.

I remember that during the Battle of Saarhu, the Ming general Ma Lin laid out an iron barrel array with several layers of trenches, antlers, and fences.

Another [-] Ming troops were waiting with a large number of firearms, but just like this, dozens of Bajala led the charge, and the Ming army was defeated.

Although the Zijiang defense line deployed by Sun Kewang was strong, the Eight Banners generals still believed that they had a chance to win!

"Okay, the first battle is the decisive battle. Bashan, you will personally lead the team. You must break through the Sun thief's camp and make meritorious deeds!" Donnie said solemnly.

During the military meeting in Guiyang, Dhoni shouted the slogan that the first battle would be the decisive battle, and the outcome would be decided in one battle.

Although Wang Fuchen died, Bashan was defeated.

But it was an outpost battle after all, and there were too many things to do.

In Dhoni's definition, this battle is the real first battle!
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely avenge my previous humiliation!" Bashan said with cupped hands.

Soon after many shellings, Sun Kewang's camp had many gaps, and it was time for the Qing army to attack.

"Ba Sihan, go!" Donnie waved his hand and ordered: "Send the flag and order Li Benzhen, Zhang Yong, Nan Yikui, and Hu Maozhen to lead the charge!"

drum--

Heavy drum beats sounded, and the flag behind Dhoni kept waving.

Under the military order, a large number of Green Camp soldiers launched a charge against the artillery fire of the Qianqian Army.

It's not like the Ming army couldn't charge under a hail of bullets, but it had to have food and pay.

Not to mention having enough food and wages, at least I have to eat enough.

After the Battle of Songjin, the Ming army, which was a little fuller, was able to withstand the artillery fire of the Qing army and attack the Qing army camp on Rufeng Mountain.

The Qing army was defeated and retreated, and Jierhalang had no choice but to abandon the camp and retreat.

If each person were given a few more taels of silver, Jierhalang would probably have to explain where he was.

The Green Battalion, which was born out of the Ming Army, already had sufficient food and salary under the training of Hong Chengchou.

And before the war, in order to boost morale, Doni specially paid two taels of silver to each person.

At this time, although the artillery fire of the Jiaqian Army was fierce, these elite soldiers of the Green Camp were still not afraid of the artillery fire and launched a ferocious attack on the Qianqian Army camp.

"Shoot! Shoot!"

Seeing a large number of green camp soldiers approaching, the camp commander Liu Tianxiu quickly issued an order.

The Qianqian Army soldiers stationed in the camp opened fire quickly, using various firearms and bows and arrows to kill the Green Camp soldiers.

However, the Green Camp soldiers still refused to retreat. The soldiers in front quickly filled the trench in front of the camp with sandbags and cleaned the antlers and fences. Fight to the gap in front of the camp and try to break into the camp.

The soldiers of the Qianqian Army were not afraid at all. Their food and salary were more sufficient than those of the Green Camp soldiers. Under the organization of the officers, they quickly met the Green Camp soldiers in the gap and started a hand-to-hand fight.

After being stabbed with countless spears, several Green Camp soldiers who tried to rush into the camp were quickly stabbed bloody and fell in the gap.

At the same time, the Jiaqian Army soldiers on the wooden wall continued to fire at the Qing army with various weapons, killing and wounding countless Green Camp soldiers.

Since the main camp of the Jiaqian Army was like a wooden city, the four major guard towns that had a defensive advantage easily killed the Green Camp soldiers with blood flowing into rivers and corpses piled up like mountains.

Donnie raised his binoculars and frowned as he looked at the bloody battle ahead.

At this moment, although the Green Camp soldiers were still fighting bloody battles with the Jiaqian Army.

But anyone can see that the defense of the Jiaqian Army is as solid as Mount Tai, and it is impossible to defeat the Jiaqian Army and occupy the camp if they continue to fight like this.

"Send the order and ask Zhao Liangdong, Sun Sike, Wang Jinbao, and Zhang Dayuan to go to reinforce!"

In an instant, the Qing army's battle flag waved rapidly, and more green battalion infantry launched a charge.

In an instant, more than [-] green battalion infantry launched a fierce attack on Sun Kewang's camp.

However, the war was still fierce. With the [-] soldiers from the four major guard towns holding on, the Green Camp soldiers could not take any advantage at all.

"With [-] to [-] Green Battalion, how can we defeat Gu's four personal guards?" Sun Kewang put down his telescope and sneered.

The four guard towns are the four most capable infantry towns under his command, with a total of 4 armored soldiers.

With this powerful force, relying on fortifications, Dhoni will basically be unable to succeed unless the entire army is pressed against him!
"Let Zhang Sheng and Chen Jian prepare, and send an order to Feng Shuangli to mobilize the vanguard and attack the two towns first to enter the camp, and prepare to cover up the Qing army after it retreats!"

Sun Kewang gave the order, and the dragon flag behind him began to wave.

Feng Shuangli's vanguard and Xiandeng two towns quickly walked onto the cable bridge and the pontoon bridge that had been set up before and began to enter the camp.

The nail that Sun Kewang planted west of Zijiang was enough to put a chokehold on the Qing army and give it a huge strategic advantage.

If the Qing army did not pull out this nail and chose to cross Zijiang by force.

Sun Kewang's main force can enter this nail at any time and stab Doni in the butt.

Even if he chooses to pull out the nail first, Sun Guozhu can calmly pass the cable bridge and pontoon bridge to reinforce the camp.

boom boom-

On the battlefield, artillery from both sides kept roaring.

Under the main camp, the corpses of the Green Camp soldiers had accumulated like mountains, and a large number of Qianqian Army soldiers also died in the Qing army's artillery fire and the hands of the Green Camp.

Li Benzhen and others once rushed into the camp, but soon Liu Tianxiu and others organized troops to block the gap and beat out the green camp soldiers.

By this point in the fierce battle, both sides were beginning to become exhausted.

After another failed attack by the Green Camp, Dhoni gritted his teeth.

"Your Majesty, let Basi Han go up. If we continue to fight, the Green Camp will be timid." Shang Shan sighed.

The Green Camp soldiers had been fighting fiercely for a long time. Not only had they suffered heavy casualties, but their physical strength had also begun to run out.

Although the current situation is still not good, the opportunity for bargain hunting has not yet come.

But if it continues to be wasted, when the Green Camp soldiers are defeated and retreat, the Eight Banners soldiers will never have a chance.

"Let Bashan lead the charge and we must capture the camp!" Donnie gave the order with a livid face.

Although letting Bashan go up to the Eight Banners Army at this time will definitely result in heavy losses, and it is very likely that the camp will not be able to be captured.

But if he fails to do so and loses like this, not only will Doni's first and decisive battle become a complete joke, but the morale of the Qing army will also plummet, and the goal of capturing Baoqing and killing Sun Kewang will be difficult to achieve!
Now that things have come to this, we can only give it a try!

The battle flags of the Qing army waved again, like Bashan issuing military orders.

When Dutong Bashan saw this, he raised the horse in his hand.

"attack!"

In an instant, [-] Qing cavalry with [-] bannermen as the core rushed forward in overwhelming numbers.

At the forefront were three thousand armored heavy cavalry.

Their mission was to risk everything, drive their war horses, rush through the trenches that had been filled in, break into the gap in the camp, break up the Ming army's defense line, and provide opportunities for the army to enter.

At this time, Dhoni had invested more than [-] troops, and almost everything was put into preparation for this first battle.

Under the artillery fire, the Qing army's heavy cavalry advanced rapidly.

After a while, they arrived in front of the camp.

An Eight Banners leader drove his own horse and charged in first.

"Kill the Tartars!" A roar sounded.

The dense spears came up instantly, stabbing the leader into a bloody man.

However, at this moment, more Qing heavy cavalry came in.

In this small area, a bloody melee took place.

Soon, in several gaps, under the desperate fighting of the front soldiers, the corpses had accumulated so high that the cavalry could not rush forward at all.

"Dismount!" an Eight Banners general shouted, and the surrounding Qing cavalry dismounted one after another and launched a desperate attack.

Finally, the soldiers of the Jiaqian Army at the gap were dispersed, and the Qing cavalry who captured the gap resisted the counterattack of the Jiaqian Army.

While desperately cleaning up the dead bodies, they tried to clear the road to allow more Qing cavalry to enter the camp.

However, at this moment, Sun Kewang gave an order, and the dragon flag behind him waved again, giving the order to attack.

"Open the camp gate, brothers, fight with me!" Zhang Sheng, who was about to make a move in the camp, gave the order.

More than 1 cavalrymen from Xiaoqi Town and other cavalry units mounted their horses.

The heavy camp gate opened, and huge monsters appeared in the eyes of the Qing army.

"Elephant! It's the elephant of the Southern Barbarians!" A Qing army general exclaimed.

An elephant whistle sounded, and an elephant soldier drove his mount out of the camp first.

Then more elephants swarmed out, and more than forty war elephants came out from several camp gates, forming the first line of Sun Kewang's counterattack.

"Don't panic, don't be confused, elephants are nothing to be afraid of!" Many Qing army officers shouted.

Many Qing cavalry and green battalion infantry stabilized.

Since the Qing army went south, they have encountered a lot of war elephants. Naturally, they know that war elephants look big, but in fact they also have weaknesses.

"Use firearms quickly!" a general shouted.

Trying to organize men and horses to surround the war elephants with firearms, but now in panic, the war elephants' attack can not only be broken up, but also may be frightened and charge back at the enemy itself.

However, Zhang Sheng and others also figured this out. The Qing army's cavalry mainly focused on mounted shooting and had almost no muskets.

Although the green camp soldiers had a large number of shotguns, after the fierce battle, they had very little medicine left.

It is precisely because of this that Zhang Sheng dared to use elephant soldiers to attack the front line and counterattack the Qing army!

Boom, boom, boom! More than forty war elephants charged, causing the earth to tremble.

In front of the elephant formation, many Qing cavalrymen turned pale.

They are not particularly afraid of elephants, but their mounts are! (End of chapter)
