Chapter 523 Intercepting the Qing Army (1)
Li Guodong finally stopped Du Du and Luo Luohong's Qing army. Camel firearms dropped camels and arranged in neat square formations. Heavy cavalry was located on both wings to protect them. Three thousand camels firearms, and all bird gunmen put short swords on the bird guns. The nine-headed bird heavy musketman behind them were inserted into the ground with a big axe at the end, and the head of the big axe was used as a bracket to build a musket. This move was learned from the Rakshasa musketman, using the big axe as a gun stand to make a heavy musket. When entering the hand-to-hand combat, the big axe could break the Qing army's armor. In front of the firearms, the camel squatted on the ground, forming a camel city.
"The Ming dog camel soldiers have descended from the camels. They have no spearmen, they all inserted a short sword into the bird gun. With such a formation, our cavalry will rush out." Luo Luohong pointed to the Ming army formation and said.
Du Du sneered: "The Mingdog has no spearmen, and the firearms have dropped the camels. Why are we afraid of? The only thing we have to worry about is the heavy cavalry on both wings! Benbele can easily defeat the enemy."
"How to defeat the enemy?" Luo Luohong asked.
"Go up with Mongolian cavalry and attract their heavy cavalry. Our heavy infantry rushed directly to their infantry formation, drove the camels away, and the heavy cavalry followed and rushed in."
At this moment, two cars were pushed out from behind the Ming army formation, and two corpses were helped.
"Ama! Big Brother!" Luo Luohong recognized the bodies of Yuetuo and Luo Luohun, rolled on the ground from the horse's back, and burst into tears.
Du Du helped Luo Luohong up: "Nephew, Ling Zun is my brother. Now he is being raped by Ming Gou. Our army should fight hard to avenge Ling Zun!"
Luo Luohong wiped his nose and tears, stood up, pulled out the knife and pointed forward, and shouted: "My sons! Kill Guangming Dog Nikan and avenge Ama!"
The Qing army's Eight Banners Light Cavalry immediately dispersed to the two wings and rushed towards Li Guodong's Ming army heavy cavalry. However, the Mongolians were not kicked by donkeys, so they would not directly collide with the heavy cavalry. Instead, before approaching the heavy cavalry, they quickly ran out of a arch-shaped trajectory behind the heavy cavalry. When they were about to hit, they suddenly evacuated. At the same time, the Mongolians turned around and shot arrows from their cavalry bows.
When it comes to riding and archery, except for a few generals such as Li Guodong, the Ming cavalry was not as high as the Mongols. Even the Manchu cavalry's cavalry was far less than that of the Mongols.
When the Mongols rushed over, the heavy cavalry of the Ming army was also in motion. Yes, the Eight Banners of the Mongolians attracted the heavy cavalry of the Ming army, and it would be best to rush out to chase them. They could use the Manguda tactics to consume the horsepower of the heavy cavalry of the Ming army. As long as they kept archery and harassing and attracting the pursuit of the Ming army, they would succeed. The Mongols believed that the heavy cavalry of the Ming army could not catch up with them at all, and could only fly kites and consume horsepower in vain, creating opportunities for the attack of the heavy cavalry of the Manchus.
Who knew that the heavy cavalry of the Ming army did not pursue the Mongols, but quickly spread out to the wings, revealing the Camel City and the firearms formation in the middle.
"Bang bang bang" bird guns and heavy muskets sounded, and the sound of guns continued. The leads were like woven into a large net, and the Mongolian light cavalry on the opposite side were overturned.
The Mongolian cavalry and shooting tactics are outdated in front of the formations of heavy cavalry and firearms. The effective range of cavalry archers is only about twenty steps. Li Guodong's bird gun can hit seventy steps, and the nine-headed bird heavy fire gun is even further away. It can hit a hundred steps away, with an astonishing range of 150 steps. What's more, among the heavy cavalry of the Ming army, there are some elite archers who shoot arrows at the Mongols from time to time. Although the number of people is small, the arrows are shot without any effort. Li Guodong, Han Dashan and others can shoot down a Mongolian whenever they shoot.
The previous cooperation between Mongolian cavalry and Jurchen cavalry was able to ravage the Ming army in field battles because the quality of the Ming army's firearms was too poor. When those firearms went to the battlefield, they didn't know whether they were used to hit people or to blow up the chamber. As for the armor protection of the Ming army, it was even more garbage. The general Ming army could shoot through the Mongols' cavalry bows.
However, Li Guodong's army was not the garbage in the Ming Dynasty, but the most exquisite firearms. Some were made by themselves, and some were seized from the Qing army. Whether it was made by itself or seized, the quality was very reliable, and it could be used with confidence and boldness, and there was no need to worry about the explosion of the chamber. The armor on the body was also excellent, both made by themselves and seized, and they were all excellent goods.
The firearms and soldiers shot and made the Mongolians fall off their horses. At the same time, the Ming army's horse-slinging cavalry shouted and rushed towards the Mongolian light cavalry who were still performing wonderful acrobatics.
"Kill!" Li Guodong took the lead, with a thousand horse-slinging cavalry arranged in neat formations. The horse-slinging spears in each person's hand stretched forward, and he would not look up at the arrows shot by the Mongols. He just formed a cavalry wall and burped his head to charge.
The Mongolians shot two rounds of arrows, stabbed them on the horse-slinging cavalry. Most of the arrows were knocked down, and a few were stuck on the strong vine armor, but they could not penetrate the slightest. Even if they shot the Ming army's face, there was an iron mask on their faces, and the arrows could not penetrate at all. Even the war horses were protected by armor, the horse's head was wrapped in iron armor, and the arrow curtain was hung around their necks, and they were covered with cotton armor and leather armor. The arrows shot from the bow could not penetrate the war horses at all.
Wearing vine armor, riding a Wuzhumuqin horse, holding a horse lance, heavy cavalry, with heavy cavalry defense and light cavalry speed! The Mongols who were harassed by archery did not have time to disperse for a while, and were hit by the horse lance cavalry.
The horse lances and cavalry crashed into the formation of the Mongolian light cavalry. A row of horse lances hit the Mongolians heavily, piercing the fragile armor of the Mongolians, strung them into human candied haws. Some Ming cavalry stabbed out with one spear, and the 18-foot-long horse lances actually penetrated through the two Mongolians in succession!
As the bent horse lance was automatically bounced straight, the pierced Mongolians flew out. Some horse lances hit the war horses, and the horses neighed with sad sounds. The iron hooves of the heavy cavalry trampled directly over the horse corpse, leaving blood marks. After the horse lance cavalry rushed through the Mongolian formation, they turned their heads and turned around to start the second round of charge. At the same time, the heavy cavalry left on both sides of the firearms also launched a charge, and the two heavy cavalry clamped the Mongolian light cavalry, leaving them nowhere to escape.
After the heavy cavalry and heavy cavalry heaved against the Mongols who were trapped in the middle, the Mongols fled in scattered. However, the cavalry did not chase and kill the Mongols because the heavy infantry and heavy cavalry of the Qing army there had already launched a charge.
"Infantry Charge!" Du Du drew his knife and pointed forward.
The Baoyi Aha infantry of the Qing army, the Han Eight Banners infantry and the Mango Eight Banners heavy infantry who had dismounted horses launched an attack on the firearm formation in the middle of the Ming army like a tide; the Mango Eight Banners heavy cavalry rushed towards the Ming army's heavy cavalry, trying to entangle the Ming army's heavy cavalry to avoid the heavy cavalry from killing the Qing army's infantry.
The archers hid behind the heavy infantry holding a shield. Du Du was very confident in the shooting of the arch and bird guns. The shooting speed of the arch and the bird guns was much faster than that of the bird guns and the accuracy was much higher. Moreover, when the arch and the arch and light arrows were shot, the range was far higher than that of the bird guns, which was almost the same as the nine-headed bird heavy guns.
When the Qing soldiers were still 150 steps away from the Ming army formation, the archers pulled their bows one after another, and powerful stair bows shot rows of light arrows into the sky, drawing arcs and thrust them down to the top of the Ming army formation.
At the same time, the bird gun soldiers and heavy musket soldiers opened fire. A row of roaring guns, Aha who rushed in front seventy steps fell down a large area. The shooting of the nine-headed bird heavy muskets and the Folang machine even hit the Qing archers and heavy armored infantry behind, overthrowing many Qing soldiers.
