A small soldier of the frontier army in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 499
Jueluo Guoke had never felt so embarrassed. In the past, when he fought against the Ming army, no matter how dangerous the environment was, he could always find a safe place quickly.Either let the rear wing have no worries, or let the two wings have no worries, but today this situation has been swept away.

Being in this bloody Jingbian army formation, Jueluo Guoke always felt that there would always be firepower from the Ming army in all directions, whether it was bird guns, artillery, or ten thousand enemies, causing heavy casualties to the warriors in his armor .Among the car formations, there were death traps everywhere, constantly devouring the lives of his warriors.

In fact, I feel that Luo Guoke, as Zhenglan Qijia Lazhangjing, has never seen what kind of dangerous situation?

Just in March of this year, he and Kabushixian Galayi Angbangnu Mountain suddenly encountered the Ming army in Xingshan. At that time, there were no more than ten armored soldiers, and the Ming army had a hundred people, all of them were fine and fast. Horses, Jue Luo Guoke and Nu Shan battled fiercely, and they cut 32 ranks and got [-] horses.

Especially in November last year, more than [-] people from Jueluo Guoke's troops encountered thousands of Ming troops. Remain.

Jueluo Guoke has experienced many battles like this, no matter how dangerous the situation is, Jueluo Guoke always has a way to deal with it.But at this moment Jueluo Guoke was confused and frightened, not knowing how to fight.

In Jierhalang's arrangement, there were more than [-] Dingjia soldiers in each banner, and thousands of horses who were good at shooting were selected from the Aha miscellaneous servants behind the army. More than a thousand attacking troops.

Among them, about 4000 people restrained Wu Sangui's chariot camp, and the remaining nearly 2 people attacked the infantry and cavalry formations of the Jingbian army.

Of course, it is impossible for Jierhalang to put all the troops on board. He has one Xianglan Banner and one Hauge Zhenglan Banner. Thousands of soldiers and horses are left behind as reserve forces.The remaining 5000 people attacked the Ming army's cavalry formation, and 1 people attacked the Jingbian army's infantry formation.

The Pingchuan in the southeast of Huangtuling seems to have reached the Eight Banners of Manchuria and the Six Banners of Manchuria. In fact, the soldiers and horses of each Manchurian Banner here are only a few thousand.Or only a few Niulu troops, or a dozen Niulu troops, among which the Manchurian Zhenglan Banner, Xianglan Banner, and Zhengbai Banner are the most.

In particular, King Azige of Wuying County, although Dorgon replaced him as the owner of the Zhengbai Banner, he still has a strong control over Niu Lu under his command, and most of them are by his side at this time.

It's just that the loss of Maiser and other elite Ba Yala made Azig feel bitter and heartbroken.That is a 50-man Ba ​​Yala, and there is a Ba Yala Jiala Zhangjing. How many Ba Yala soldiers are there for one flag in the Qing Dynasty?
The 1 Qing army attacked the Jingbian army's infantry. Of course, it was impossible to encircle them all. Instead, they were divided into several formations.

Jueluo Guoke, the Jiala army of the Zhenglan Banner, is accompanied by a part of the Zhenghuang Banner soldiers and horses, and the Xianglan Banner soldiers and horses.There is also the Zhenghuang Banner of Mongolia, and a group of troops from the two banners on the left and right wings of Tumote, Mongolia, as the first wave of troops, first attack the small formations of the Jingbian Army.

The battle didn't go smoothly at the beginning, Jia La Nei was a dead soldier from the Hezhe tribe, known for their bravery.Wearing heavy armor, they drove the horses into the battle. As a result, after several rounds of shotgun bombardment by the Jingbian army, the dead soldiers suffered heavy casualties and were no longer able to charge into the battle.

Jueluo Guoke was helpless and reluctant to use the sharp soldier vest, so he had to give up the idea of ​​attacking the Jingbian military chariot from the front, and turned to outflank the attack from the side and two wings. Unexpectedly, he entered the devil's hell.

He led his troops into the passage between the two chariot formations, and was immediately hit hard by the Jingbian troops on both sides. Their blunderbusses and ten thousand enemies continued to fight, causing him to lose a lot of Qingqi who rolled into the passage.

Especially not far from the second column of chariots, the Jingbian Army's two cannons roared and bombarded the cannonballs. Dozens of people from their own side fell off their horses on the spot, all rolling and howling in pain. One Niu Luzhang Jing died on the spot.

Seeing their bloody and miserable appearance, with their stumps flying all over the place, everyone around them felt chilled.These Zhenglan Banner armored soldiers had never fought against the Jingbian Army, so they didn't take it seriously before, but now they realized how the soldiers from the various banners survived under the sharp guns of the Jingbian Army?

Although the casualties of his subordinates made Jueluo Guoke heartbroken, he still roared loudly while holding the Jiala Zhangjing banner, urging the soldiers in Jiala to continue to attack.

Moreover, he had experienced many battles, so he quickly made a decision to give up attacking the Jingbian Army's frontal chariot formation, and then outflank the formation from the two wings.

In the end, he fell into a real death situation, and was instantly hit by the firepower of the four wings of the Jingbian Army!
Jue Luo Guoke, Jiala's cavalry, joined with Jiala Niulu's troops from Yu Banner, and surged into the right flank of the formation.Amidst the shouts of the Ming army, iron bumps like raindrops were thrown, and then boom, boom!Boom boom boom, the explosion of black powder continued, thick white smoke rose, and various debris inside flew!

Although when they first entered the chariot formation, the Jingbian army also threw thousands of enemies out, after another experience, many war horses still couldn't stand it.They were so frightened that they couldn't control it, especially some people and horses were injured.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

"Clap clap clap!"

On the left and right, there was also the Jingbian military chariot formation in the rear, and there was a lot of fire and gunshots. In the chaos, dozens of people screamed and fell down.Especially those bullets shot from behind caught those Qing cavalry by surprise and screamed.

"Blow up these wild boars!"

As soon as the sound of the gun fell, iron lumps like raindrops were thrown.

"Clap clap clap!"

After the ten thousand enemies exploded, there was another burst of gunfire.

The smoke filled the air, and the ears were filled with the frightened neighing of war horses, the screams of dying soldiers, and the mad horses jumping around.Jue Luo Guoke also desperately pulled his own rein, the docile war horse in the past was so violent.

He felt very hot, under the hot sun, the choking smell of gunpowder smoke mixed with the pungent smell of blood, inhaled into the lungs, it was so uncomfortable.

The smoke rising from the surroundings makes the faces of the people around them faintly visible. They may run in panic and fear, or stand blankly and violently.

Jueluo Guoke tried his best to calm himself down. He looked at the chariot formation on the right, which seemed to be a small formation of the Jingbian Army standing on a small raised hill.

At this time, their chariots were already covered in the smog, and the gunners of the Ming army behind the chariots could not see clearly.The sound of gunfire coming and going from all directions at any time also made their firing sound unclear. They could only feel the flames of death flashing through the smoke from time to time, and then they could hear the screams of their own troops.

Right in front of his eyes, Ruoketa, a mighty warrior in Jiala, was hit by a lead bullet.

He rolled off the horse, fell to the ground and struggled desperately, his bloody body was only a few steps away from him.He is a vest, he has outstanding fighting skills immediately, and he died so cheaply, even the heavy armor on his body can't protect him at all.

His horse was also shot, bloody and frightened, jumping and rolling indiscriminately, almost knocking himself off the horse.Death is so close to him, seeing Ruoketa throwing his hands desperately at him, Jueluo Guoke thought that he was no longer afraid, but at this moment his hands couldn't help shaking.

Looking not far ahead, several followers are howling at the top of their lungs. Most of them have no armor, only wear melon caps, arrow sleeves, cotton robes, and warm hats, but some have horses to follow them, and some bring their own cotton. First.

They behaved even more unbearably, or wandered around like headless chickens, trying to find a safe haven, or were at a loss, resigned to their fate, and when they were shot, they howled and ran desperately.

"Jueluojiala, Jueluojiala!"

Suddenly Luo Guoke woke up, amidst the sound of gunfire and explosions from the Ming army, it was Niu Luzhang Jingchiwuti who was yelling at himself: "What should we do?"

Jueluo Guoke knew that he had reached the most difficult moment of choice in his life. If he won, this would be one of his most glorious battles. If he lost, he would be buried here.

He suddenly looked around, left and right, and the Ming army formation at the rear, which was constantly spraying soul-stealing white smoke, but the front was not safe.

The black cavalry, like a torrent, passed through many army formations, and reached the front of the second-class army's chariots. Looking around, the chariot formations seemed to be crowded with incoming cavalry, and many people were circling around the chariots. Ride horses and run between the formations, shoot arrows at each chariot formation continuously, or throw javelins and other objects.

There are still many people trying to attack the chariots in front, but the cavalry needs a lot of space, and those Qing cavalry circled so many chariot formations, when they arrived here, their horsepower could no longer be released.They were stopped here by Lao Lao. Behind the chariot, the platoons of the Jingbian Army's second-class army kept firing.

Every time there is a sound of gunfire, behind the chariot, there is a burst of flames, and then bursts of white mist and smoke dragons into the air.

Waves of Qingqi were beaten to death in front of the chariot. The blood shed from their horses had already dyed the dry loess on the ground into brown mud.The gurgling stream of blood flowed towards the low place and merged into a river of blood.

"Blow up these wild boars!"

While roaring, the Ming army behind the chariot kept throwing tens of thousands of enemies, making the Qing cavalry in front of the chariot even more chaotic.

Jueluo Guoke suddenly decided to attack the chariot formation on the right. The firepower of the Ming army in front was too dense, and attacking there would be a dead end.

As for the left and right ends, they have no more than a few dozen shots of their bird guns, so if they attack with a strong force, they can still attack.

As long as a chariot formation of the Jingbian army is captured, the situation will be greatly changed.

Jue Luo Guoke rejected the suggestion of several Niu Lu Zhang Jing in Jia La to attack the lower part of the chariot formation.After the soldiers and horses moved there, it seemed that there were only two Ming army firepower at the front and back, but the Ming army's gunfire behind the chariot was too strong.

On the contrary, in the middle of these two chariot formations, it seems that there are four wings of fire, but the firepower of the Ming army in front and behind may be two or three hundred steps apart.As long as you stay away from the front and rear firepower points, there are dozens of bird guns on both sides, and the firepower is still weak.

Seeing that the people around him were still being shot from time to time, and there was chaos, Jueluo Guoke yelled: "All get off their horses and fight on foot!"

He quickly arranged, with nearly a hundred swordsman shield soldiers in the armor to protect the rear, and some archers shot arrows. Although their shields and armors could not stop the firecrackers from the Jingbian army at all, but there was something to cover them. It's better than nothing.

Facing the formation of chariots on the right, Jueluo Guoke mobilized more than a hundred archers who were good at shooting. In the middle were dozens of vest soldiers with swords and shields to attack, and then dozens of vest soldiers were holding heavy tiger guns, ready to attack. .

It's not that Jueluo Guoke doesn't want to gather more troops, but that the space in the area is relatively small, and the troops cannot be deployed.In particular, the knights of various banners passed by from time to time, and the mad men and horses who were shot were screaming and jumping, which also affected his troop arrangement, and in the chaos and panic, many people had no idea where they were riding their horses.

And when Jueluo Guoke was setting up, there was a loud bang of firecrackers on both sides from time to time, and the warriors in Jiala were knocked to the ground one by one.Blood mist erupted from their bodies, and neither shields nor armor could provide them with protection.

Jueluo Guoke was in a state of anxiety, holding the flag of Jialazhangjing, shouting and roaring his subordinates to charge, those archers and sword and shield soldiers rushed towards the chariot ahead, shouting.

The Jingbian army over there seemed to have noticed Jue Luoguoke's situation, and they kept firing volleys of guns at them.

Although there were only a dozen or so shots in each wave, the firepower continued. The Qing troops who were attacking screamed and rolled down one by one. In a blink of an eye, two to thirty people fell to the ground.

Compared with the Jingbian army's blunderbuss, their bows and arrows are still too weak, and they can only be lethal at fifty paces. To break through cotton armor or iron armor, they have to be pulled closer to about twenty or thirty paces.Of course, their arrowheads are shaped like chisels and are as long as seven inches. If they are shot, it is not a pleasant thing.

Jue Luo Guoke roared desperately, suddenly there was a loud bang, and behind a chariot, a striking and thick fire burst out of the smoke.

At least six or seven Qing soldiers fell to the ground miserably. Many people's heads, faces and bodies were covered with dense blood holes.

"It's the nine-headed bird of the Ming army!"

Many Qing soldiers rushing to the battle yelled in panic, Jueluo Guoke bit his cheek: "Rush up!"

Immediately after another loud bang, the heads of the two Qing soldiers were blasted to pieces, and blood gushed out like a fountain.

There were three or four people beside them, all crying and kneeling on the ground, the bombardment of the shotgun made their faces covered with blood pockmarks.There was even an archer whose eyeball was shot out, hanging out of the eye socket, which was extremely scary.

More people shouted in horror: "The eagle raised the cannon..."

Jueluo Guoke sternly said: "Those who retreat will be cut!"

With the situation in front of him, there was no room for retreating. He held the flag of Jialazhangjing and personally followed behind those sword and shield soldiers, commanding the charge.

Finally, amidst the sound of the Jingbian army's blunderbuss, these Qing soldiers rushed to the front of the chariot for twenty or thirty steps.

Many people shot arrows in a row, shooting several arrows in the blink of an eye, and some even threw javelins and iron bones vigorously.Although the Ming army was hiding behind the chariot, the target was unclear due to the smog, but there was still a muffled sound, and it seemed that the Ming army after the war was shot and hit.

Under the cover of the archers, the remaining sword and shield soldiers of the Qing army rushed towards the Jingbian Army chariot with roars, and their vest soldiers with tiger spears also roared, as if charging desperately.

"Enemy of all people!"

Behind the chariot, there was the roar of the Ming army, and another piece of iron lumps was thrown out. Amidst the roar, some sword and shield soldiers and tiger spear soldiers howled mournfully.

Jueluo Guoke roared hoarsely: "Go up again!"
