Chapter 386 Defeat Wuzhen Chaoha Battalion

Wu Zhenchao's camp was attacked by a sudden attack and caught off guard, causing chaos.

"Stabilize the formation and don't act rashly!" Kong Youde shouted.

Several personal soldiers ran and passed the order: "Let's line up to resist the enemy! Those who retreat without authorization will be killed!"

All the cannons of Wuzhenchao Ha Camp, who were attacked during the marching, were in marching and had no time to set up artillery to counterattack. They could only rely on infantry formation to block Li Guodong's Ming cavalry.

This time, Li Guodong did not rush to the first place. After all, his opponent was a firearm soldier. Wouldn't he become a living target for the Qing army's bird gun soldiers? In front of him, there were a group of dead soldiers holding thick shields, holding thick iron-packed round shield in the left hand, and eating a throwing weapon in the right hand. He rushed in front, followed by heavy cavalry holding three-eyed guns, and Li Guodong followed the three-eyed gun team.

The bird gunners of the Wuzhenchao Ha Camp of the Qing army were still calm. When Li Guodong's heavy cavalry rushed over, they kept calm, and the bird gun in their hands did not fire a single bullet.

"Let me go!" Zhao Wu shouted anxiously.

A thousand Ming cavalry dismounted and acted as archers, took the bow and took the arrow in their hands, squatted down their waists, and separated their feet in a graphic shape. The arrow pointed diagonally towards the sky, launching a long-distance shot at the Wuzhen Chaoha campfire weapon soldiers.

The vibration of the bowstring sounded like a piece, and the arrows roared like rain, covering the sky densely.

The first row of arrows had not yet landed, and the second row of arrows flew into the sky again. Zhao Wu's archers desperately pulled the bowstring and made continuous rapid shooting.

The archers shot three rounds in a row, and more than 3,000 feather arrows covered Wuzhen Chaoha's campfire weapon soldiers. Countless Qing soldiers were shot arrows, but the light arrows shot from a hundred steps away were more harassing and scaring. In fact, the lethality of the Han army flag bird gunners wearing armor was not very serious. Except for a few unlucky Qing soldiers who were shot into the front door, most of the Qing soldiers bird gunners who were shot like hedgehogs were safe and sound.

However, the harassment of the bow and arrow made Wu Zhenchao's camp unable to calm down. Before the Ming army's heavy cavalry entered within fifty steps, they hurriedly fired the guns.

Wu Zhenchao Ha Camp bird gunman pulled the trigger, and fire was emitted from the muzzle. The sound of guns was heard one after another, and white smoke filled the crowd of Ming cavalry rushing in front. A few screams sounded. Dozens of cavalry were either penetrated with shields or the war horses under their crotch were knocked over to the snow. The cavalry was shot dropped from the horse's back, and the war horses were shot fell on the snow, lifting the knights on the horse's back off the horse.

"The firearm is still powerful! Jiannu's firearms are of better quality than those of the Ming Dynasty." Li Guodong said in his heart.

With one encounter, dozens of elite soldiers were lost. This was the first time that Li Guodong suffered such a loss. However, he believed that the bird guns of Wu Zhenchao Ha Camp were not loading so quickly. As long as they approached, the bird gunners of the Eight Banners of Han would have no chance.

The bird gunner in the front row retreated and loaded, and the bird gunner in the back row pulled the trigger again, and this time it knocked down dozens of Li Guodong's cavalry.

At the same time, Zhou Tao's cavalry, who had already rushed into the Qing army crowd, were also blocked. Wu Zhenchao's Han flag spearmen formed a formation and blocked the impact of five hundred cavalry. More than 30 people under Zhou Tao's command had been damaged, and more than 470 cavalry were still there.

"Submit!" Zhou Tao roared angrily.

Four hundred and seventy cavalry threw out flying axes, javelins, and iron bones, and smashed into the group of Wuzhenchaoha camp musket soldiers of the Qing army. Screams one after another, and countless Qing soldiers sprayed blood mists, and their armor was penetrated by these heavy throwing weapons. They fell down screaming and the white snow was dyed red.

Li Guodong's heavy cavalry also approached Wuzhenchaoha Camp. The heavy cavalry in front threw out javelins, flying axes, iron bones, meteor hammers and other weapons, knocking down a piece of spearmen in the front row. Then the cavalry dispersed to both sides, revealing the three-eyed gun cavalry behind.

The cavalry held the three-eyed gun in his left hand, aimed at the target, and held the fuse hanging around his neck in his right hand, and stabbed it into the fire gate of the three-eyed gun. Accompanied by a deafening sound of guns, white smoke rose from the group of war horses, and a large area of ​​Qing and Han flag soldiers twenty steps ahead fell down.

The Wu Zhenchao Ha soldiers who had completed the loading opened their guns and fired. At a close distance of twenty steps, the bird gun was extremely powerful, and at least a hundred cavalrymen were shot and dropped.

Zhao Wu and others who were fighting on foot also rushed over with their soldiers. Within fifty steps, the archer shot straight out rows of heavy arrows, shooting a round of arrows. The archer ran forward for two steps, tapped the arrow again, and another round of arrows flew out. The heavy arrows shot within fifty steps were extremely powerful, and they shot over many Wuzhen Chao Ha soldiers. There were also the bird gunners of the Han army flag turned around and fired at the archer who rushed towards them, knocking down more than a dozen Ming army infantry archers.

"The loss is a bit big, and it has lost more than two hundred people so far! The Wu Zhen, the eight banners of Han, is even more powerful than the True Manchu Tartars!" Li Guodong said in his heart.

I have fought with the Later Jin army many times before and dealt with the Jurchens. I have never suffered such a significant loss in such a short time. This time, I ambushed halfway against the Han army flag, which made the Qing army's artillery unable to exert its power. I actually lost more than 200 people in one encounter. This shows that the combat effectiveness of the Han army flag is actually quite powerful and is not inferior to the Manchu Eight Banners soldiers.

It just makes people wonder why those Han people are so poor in the Ming army's combat effectiveness. After joining the Qing army, their combat effectiveness has soared exponentially?

The combat effectiveness of the Han army flag was far greater than that of the later Qing army in the Green Camp, and in fact it was not much worse than that of the Manchu Eight Banners.

Fortunately, the firearms of the Eight Banners of Han were slowly loading, and the major losses caused to the Ming army ended here. After the distance was closer, the Ming army fired the three-eyed gun and shot the battalion commander Wu Zhenchaoha at close range with a cavalry. When the formation of the eight banners of Han was chaotic, they rushed into the breaking formation with an iron cavalry. At the same time, the Ming army, which were fighting on foot, put away their bows and arrows, drew out various weapons and rushed into the enemy crowd.

"Winning?"

Li Guodong looked at the Qing army with some disbelief in his mind. The Ming cavalry and cavalry fighting in his field followed behind the Qing army. The Qing army's bird gunners were defeated and could not load ammunition and fired again. The bird guns in his hand became fire sticks. The Qing army's spearmen and swordsman formed a disintegration, and the infantry without formation could not stop the cavalry's rush. What's more, there were Ming cavalry fighting in his field, wielding various weapons to kill among the Qing army crowd.

"Victed! Victory!" Ming Jun shouted excitedly.

"Catch Kong Youde! You can do whatever you want!" Li Guodong shouted loudly.

Wu Zhenchao Ha Camp was defeated in a crushing defeat, and Kong Youde retreated under the protection of more than 100 personal soldiers.

"Prince, please leave quickly, the servants will lead people behind the back!" said a captain of the personal soldiers.

Kong Youde fled with more than a dozen personal soldiers on horseback, while the remaining more than a hundred personal soldiers stayed behind and fought stubbornly.

"There are more than a hundred fake Jiannu cavalry! They form a cone formation and rush over!" Li Guodong gave the order.

More than a thousand iron cavalry formed a cone formation and rushed towards more than one hundred Han Eight Banners cavalry. The sound of horse hooves of the Ming army hit the ground like drumsticks, and rows of cavalry seemed to be a moving wall, pressing up to the remaining Qing cavalry and infantry. In a blink of an eye, the Ming army rushed into the Qing army formation. More than one hundred Han Eight Banners cavalry were dropped, and their intestines were trampled through the stomach; the Qing army infantry, who were knocked away by war horses, were trampled by horse hooves, and stepped into a pool of meat mud in the snow.

Just as the Ming cavalry was chasing Wu Zhenchao Ha Camp and Baoyi Aha, a red firework rocket suddenly rose from a distance and bloomed in the night sky.

"Not good! The Jiannu cavalry is coming!" Li Guodong shouted.

The fireworks rocket was released by the outer patrol, reminding Li Guodong that the main cavalry of the Qing army arrived.

"Sweep the battlefield in one stick of incense! Destroy all the red cannons! Take away the bird guns and other weapons. The rest of the cannons will not be taken care of for the time being." Li Guodong gave the order.
