Chapter 411: The Qing Army Breaks Through (2)

"The Khan, the Jurchens are powerful, they ride sharply and the firearms are fierce. When we go up, we can only increase the losses for no reason." Shuolei explained pale and weakly.

Although Ezhe was the nominal Mongolian Khan, the Khalkhas did not take him seriously at all.

At this time, the Qing army had already attacked the chariot formation, and the Han Eight Banners infantry in front kept climbing over the sled car and jumping into the chariot formation.

The bird gunner in front, the nine-headed bird gunner, and the light Folang machine gunner carried their weapons and retreated. He Xing personally led the hand-to-hand combat troops forward.

Li Guodong's hand-to-hand combat soldiers were not all of them. In fact, the spearmen who formed the formation mainly dealt with cavalry. If used to deal with heavy infantry, the sword player was actually very likely to break the spear formation. Rows of sword players advanced side by side, and the spear did not penetrate the shield. The sword player hit forward with force, knocked the spear and then rushed forward, and then killed in front of him. The spearmen could not resist. In addition, whether the spear could break the thick armor of the Eight Banners soldiers of the Qing army was a question. What's more, the fierce battle now was carried out behind the chariot formation, and neither side could form a formation, and could only fight with their lives.

The hand-to-hand combat troops led by He Xing are mainly mandarin duck formations that combine long and short weapons.

"Die!" He Xing rushed to the first place, raised his axe and fell. A shield was split on his face like he was chopping firewood. The axe slashed heavily on the Qing army's lightning rod helmet. The helmet was divided into two halves, and his brain mixed with blood splattered on the snow.

The Qing soldiers of the Han Eight Banners who kept climbing over the sled car crashed into the Mandarin Duck Formation, just like filling a well with snow. As long as they hit the Mandarin Duck Formation, they were constantly killed in the snow. In order to break through the armor, Li Guodong made certain improvements to the Mandarin Duck Formation. The ordinary spear was replaced with a heavy spear, and the spear tip was an armor-breaking cone that could break through the heavy armor of the Qing soldiers. However, the Mandarin Duck Formation was still a little powerless to deal with the heavy armor infantry. The main firepower output was still relying on the bird gunner and three-eyed gunner behind.

Among the Mandarin Duck Formation, the palladium-killing hands blocked the Qing soldiers, and the bird gunners and three-eyed gunners behind took the opportunity to output fire. There were also heavy infantry wandering in the Mandarin Duck Formation, wearing thick armor and holding various heavy weapons, knocking the Qing soldiers overturned into the snow.

"The real slave is here!" someone shouted.

Li Guodong personally led a team of heavy infantry holding heavy weapons to rush towards the direction where the Qing army rushed in.

Heavy infantry is invulnerable to swords and guns, and there are heavy weapons such as armor-breaking iron hammers, nail hammers, big axes, heavy swords, etc., which are specially tailor-made for the heavy armored infantry of the Eight Banners.

"Kill!" Li Guodong held a long-handled nail-head hammer and smashed a soldier on the head of an Eight Banners.

The Qing soldier used a tiger spear to pick it up, but he failed to block Li Guodong, who was extremely powerful. He pushed the tiger spear away and then hit the Qing soldier's shoulders. Only the sound of bone shattering was heard, and the Qing soldier's shoulder blades and collarbone were all broken. Then Li Guodong ended the life of the Qing soldier with a hammer.

The Qing soldiers of the Eight Banners rushed into the Yuanyang Formation. The Ming army who arranged the Yuanyang Formation used long spears and palladium to resist the weapons in the hands of the Qing soldiers. The killer team using heavy weapons rushed out, slashed the big axe, smashed the maces and hammers, knocking the Eight Banners soldiers who were trapped in the formation one by one to the ground.

Ezhe's five thousand Chahar Mongolian cavalry and the five thousand Tumot cavalry of Omubu came to reinforce. The Mongols kept shooting arrows to the Qing soldiers pouring in from behind with their cavalry bows, harassing the Wuzhenchao Ha soldiers, affecting their loading. The Chahar Khan's cavalry also rushed past the sled carts that were pushed down by the Qing soldiers, and charged at the Qing army again and again, knocking over many Han Eight Banners soldiers.

The Eight Banners soldiers rushed into the chariot formation, and the Ming army suffered losses, but they did not receive the order to retreat. Everyone fought to the death.

In the Qing army's central army formation, Yue Tuo observed the movements of the Mongols from afar. He found that although the Ming army joined forces with the Chahars and the Tumots and were in a fierce bloody battle with the Qing army, the Khalkhas did not move at all. He was overjoyed and turned to Dorgon and said, "Uncle Fourteenth, I know that as long as we delay the Mongolian barbarians for a period of time, they will be incompatible all their lives. Uncle Fourteenth, have you seen it now? The Chahars and the Tumots are quite active. They are worried that we will take away their territory. But the Khalkhas do not move because we do not threaten the Khalkhas, and they want to preserve their strength."

Dorgon nodded and said, "Yue Tuo's nephew is really smart!" After saying that, Dorgon turned his head and passed the order: "Tell me the order, all the Manchu and Han Eight Banners will attack with all their strength!"

The cavalry of the Chahar Khan tent had cut off more than a thousand Wuzhen Chaochao soldiers' heads, but the Wuzhen Chaochao soldiers fired with muskets and spears, leaving many Chahar Khan tent cavalry in the snow. The Tumot cavalry used cavalry to shoot the Wuzhen Chaochao soldiers from a distance, and shot overturned many Han Eight Banners soldiers.

The firearm soldiers behind the Han Eight Banners and the Manchurian Eight Banners archers shot dense projectile arrows, and many Tumot cavalrymen screamed and fell from the horse's back.

More and more Qing soldiers were pouring into the gap, and rows of sled carts were overthrown by the Qing army, and the eight banners of Manchu Banners continued to pour in. The Ming army, Chahar and Tumote people struggled to support them. The bodies of soldiers from both sides piled up into a hill at the gap. The Ming army was struggling to resist, and the Chahar and Tumote people were fewer and fewer Chahar and Tumote people were fighting hard.

At this moment, the Qing soldiers suddenly heard the terrifying shout of "Anlahu, Keba".

"No! The madman is here again!" The Man Eight Banners soldiers, who were deeply hurt, were so scared that their legs were weak.

More than a dozen camels galloped on the snow. At this time, the bird guns in the hands of Wu Zhenchao Ha soldiers had just fired a round. The arrows of the archers of the Eight Banners could not break the defense. They could only watch these madmen rush into the spear formation of the Eight Banners soldiers. While the camels fell, the god warriors who rose into the air exploded in the air, and a large number of Han Eight Banners spearmen were swept away.

"Dead soldiers, attack!" Dorgon passed the order.

The Bayala soldiers shook the flag of the central army, and several death soldiers of the Eight Banners rushed out of the formation, whipped the horses and rushed towards the camel behind without hesitation.

A heavy cavalry of the Eight Banners rushed straight to a camel, and with the help of the rushing horse, he stabbed into the body of the god warrior and lifted the god warrior from the camel's back. At the same time, a loud noise was heard. While the god warrior was smashed to pieces, the eight banners died of death were also blown to pieces.

More than a dozen dead cavalrymen of the Eight Banners were all killed, but they blocked more than a dozen god warriors riding camels and avoided greater losses.

"Bang bang bang" The bird gun in Wu Zhenchao's hand fired. Before the remaining god warriors could rush to the front, they were all beaten into hornet's nests halfway.

"Hmph! I just thought you Mongolian barbarians had dead soldiers, so I was not allowed to have dead soldiers in the Qing Dynasty?" Dorgon snorted coldly.

The Qing army's offensive became more and more fierce, and the army of the three Khalkha Khans was still watching on the wall, while the 50,000 troops of the Weila Mongols were deployed in the north, and the distance was too far to come.

"Ezhe Khan, let's retreat! If we continue to fight, our people will be lost, and the Khalkha people will be even more disobedient." Li Guodong killed a Manchu Eight Banner soldier, turned around and ran to Ejin, who had just killed a Han Eight Banner soldier, and shouted loudly.

"Retreat!" Ezhe gritted his teeth and gave an order. He was really unwilling to accept it. If this battle was fought well, the Qing army could be trapped in Guihua City. When the Qing army was exhausted, they would starve to death. If the Qing army broke through again, they would be guaranteed to suffer heavy losses in the process of breaking through. With the Mongolian light cavalry behind the scenes, most of the Qing army could be left behind. But he didn't expect that the Khalkhas would be so uncooperative, so he could only watch the Qing army break out of the encirclement.
