Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 651 Blocking War (4)

The prestige of the white pole soldiers is not blown out. In terms of strength, they can be compared with the three major armies of the late Ming Dynasty. Sun Chuanting's Qin army, Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong army, Yuan Chonghuan's Guanning iron cavalry, the white pole soldiers are not bad compared with them. In terms of military achievements, fighting against the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, suppressing bandits, and King Qin are all outstanding military achievements.

The only difference is that the three major armies in the late Ming Dynasty were the Central Army, which was established by the imperial court.And the Erbai soldiers can only be regarded as local soldiers.

The White Pole Soldier was created by Qin Liangyu, the only heroine recorded in history. Qin Liangyu and his elder brother, husband, and son devoted themselves to the Ming Dynasty.On the Hunhe battlefield in Liaodong, the white-armed soldiers made the elites of the Eight Banners led by the arrogant Huang Taiji have a long memory. After that, the white-armed soldiers entered the king of Jingqin and suppressed the bandits. The loss is like a frightened bird at this time.

The white-armed soldiers in front of me were personally trained by the loyal Marquis Qin Liangyu. She was grateful for the great kindness of Emperor Hongguang, and asked her grandsons Ma Wannian and her brother and sister to continue serving the Ming court with this team. It is a pity that I am weak and cannot lead the army to fight in person.

These lads from Shizhu lived up to their expectations. In the past few years, they followed Zhu Yousong in the battle and made many military exploits. They were famous and frightened the enemy. Today they began to show their talents again.

The super combat power of the white pole soldiers is not only their special weapons, charging and climbing are their strengths, but also that they can do everything at once. Mounted is cavalry, dismounted is infantry, collective charge and individual combat are all capable. , all of them possess unique skills, similar to the special forces of later generations.

At this time, none of them were riding horses, and they jumped out of the trench and rushed towards the cavalry group of the Great Western Army.

Cavalry versus infantry, cavalry advantage?Shit, it depends on the situation, it's the other way around.

Today, these boys from the stone pillars are about to stage a myth of infantry overthrowing iron cavalry.Due to the short distance and the effect of the terrain, the invincible advantage of the cavalry's collective charge can't be brought into play at all. Now they come up in close hand-to-hand combat.

After seeing these little guys rushing into the cavalry group, they used the white guns in their hands to fend off the sabers, and then stabbed the cavalrymen, and then pulled them back. With these two actions, the Daxi Iron Cavalry couldn't stand it. .Either it was stabbed off the horse, or the horse's leg was hooked off by the sickle-shaped crescent on the spear. No matter what kind of form, the horse would fall anyway, just like the hook and sickle spear smashing the armored serial horses. The cavalry were killed and fell off their horses one after another, causing chaos.

After the cavalry was killed and scattered, ten thousand infantry came up behind them. The cavalry failed, and the infantry was paid for nothing. In a melee between three thousand and twenty thousand, the white soldiers absolutely overwhelmingly killed the twenty thousand Daxi army. It will be defeated.

Wang Dapeng organized a supervisory team of 500 people. At the beginning, they hacked and killed some escapees and those who were weak in the battle, and they really played the role of supervisory.

But later, too many retreated, and the supervising team couldn't kill them. As a result, the supervising team was dispersed.

The chief general Wang Dapeng issued a military order in front of Sun Kewang. At this time, his eyes were red, and he rushed forward with a single-edged halberd and hundreds of soldiers in his hand, trying to reverse the defeat, otherwise he would lose his head.

Not to mention, Wang Dapeng was really unambiguous. He stepped off the horseshoe and hit the halberd. He really had the style of Lu Bu, but just after he flew a few white-armed soldiers with his majesty, he was pierced by a sharp arrow flying towards him. Wang Dapeng had no choice but to let go and threw the halberd and fell off the horse as a dead body.

As soon as the main general died, these soldiers became motherless, their morale sank, and they had no fighting spirit. As a result, they were killed by white soldiers and rushed like wildfire. Just like that, Sun Kewang's second big charge failed again. up.

After these two charges, now there are casualties all over the mountains and plains here. Of course, these are all from the Daxi Army. The Ming Army accounted for [-]% or at most [-]% of the casualties. Blood flowed like a river, dyeing the land red.

After repelling Sun Kewang's second charge, Zhu Yousong did not order the pursuit, but ordered the white soldiers to withdraw from their positions, recharge their batteries, preserve their strength, and block the battle. This battle is won.

The attack was frustrated twice in a row, thousands of troops were lost, and two generals, a deputy commander and three generals were injured. Now the Daxi Army was languishing. They had come from a long way, and they were exhausted after days of fighting and rushing. The teacher, now frustrated again, even Sun Kewang lost his temper.

The future prince of the Western Army never expected that the fortifications of the Ming Army in front of him would be so impenetrable.But what kind of fortification is this?It's just a few cannons, a ditch dug, and some archers deployed.

In terms of the bow and arrow advantage, his subordinates are no weaker than them, and then there are these white soldiers.

Even though the white-armed soldiers are well-deserved, they are only a few thousand people.

Not to mention such fortifications, even the high, deep and impregnable city walls of the Ming Dynasty, Sun Kewang didn't pay attention to them.How many such fortified cities he has conquered, even he himself can't remember clearly.Followed by his godfather Zhang Xianzhong, he has been fighting north and south for more than ten years, blocking east and west, and crossing most of China.

Is this small ditch in front of him going to capsize his highness, the Pingdong King of the Great Western Army, who made the Ming Army fearful?

The more Sun Kewang thought about it, the more angry he became. When he became angry from embarrassment, he planned to put all the remaining tens of thousands of horses up there, and he personally led the charge.

One of his generals came over to persuade him: "Your Highness, the Ming army occupies a favorable position. Our army has come from a long distance, counting exhausted troops, and now they have lost their spirit. Fighting recklessly is not the way. From the humble point of view, it is best to use the red clothes cannon."

Sun Kewang stared at him: "The artillery battalion is still far away from us. How long will we have to wait for them to arrive? Mu Tianbo and Shorty Wang are right behind. My king's army of [-] to [-] people can't even cross this small mound. , but also lost soldiers and generals, wouldn’t it make people laugh when it was spread?”

The general did not dare to speak.

Sun Kewang readjusted his troops, planning to put all his eggs in one basket. At this time, Mu Tianbo and Wang Shangli arrived with 10,000+ troops, and the two sides combined more than 20 people.

Mu Tianbo, the Duke of Qian State, and Wang Shangli, the chief general of the Chinese Army, came to visit Sun Kewang. They also heard that Sun Kewang's troops were blocked here, so they volunteered.

Sun Kewang originally felt ashamed, and he planned to take down the fortifications of the Ming army before the two generals arrived, but now it seemed impossible.Now he had to organize a larger third charge...
