Chapter 525 Intercepting the Qing Army (3)

The Qing army invaded Camel City, and Camel was also a spiritual animal. When they saw the two armies fighting at close range, the camels squatting on the ground stood up one after another and ran to the woods behind them, so as not to be accidentally injured by others. When the camel was running away, he actually made a lot of Qing soldiers.

The Qing army rushing into Camel City did not fight easily. They never expected that the bird gun soldiers with a short sword on top of a bird gun could fight so strongly! The bird gun soldiers with a short sword were like a team of short spear soldiers. The group of short spear soldiers in front were extremely powerful in hand-to-hand combat. The guns in the hands of more than a thousand bird gun soldiers stabbed out, and their movements were neatly like a person! It was irresistible.

"Is Mingdog's stabbing technique strange?" Du Du, who was supervising the battle behind, frowned.

The spear-stinging method of the Ming army's bird gun soldiers wearing short swords is indeed different from that of the spear-stinging method of the spear-stinging method of the spear-stinging method of the spear-stinging method of the spear-stinging rod when fighting, with the right hand in front and the left hand in the back. The spear-stinging method is to stab the spear-stinging method, which is to stab the right side, that is, the spear-stinging method is to stab the left side.

In fact, this is the stinging technique in later generations, and it has more advantages than later rifle bayonets, because the length of the bird gun is more than five feet long, longer than the longest Type 38 rifle, and the short sword-type spear is not short, more than two feet long. The length of the bird gun and the spear reaches eight feet, which is almost the same as a spear.

The left stabbing technique can just break the shield. The sword player holds the shield in his left hand and the knife in his right hand. When he encounters a long spear stabbed by his opponent, he can block it with a shield. However, the gun stabbed to the left, and the Qing soldiers can only block it with the weapons in his right hand, which makes them much more passive, not to mention the bird gun soldiers and heavy musket soldiers who occasionally output firepower behind.

What made Du Du even more stunned was that the Ming army's gun sword could actually pierce the Qing soldiers wearing thick armor! It turned out that these gun spears were not real short swords, but a cone-shaped spear. Under the action of this armor-breaking cone soldier thrusting forward, he could pierce the Qing soldiers' armor.

The most elite of the Qing army was the infantry archers, the kind of infantry archers who rode horses and dismounted horses and shot archers. Every time the Later Jin army fought with the Ming army, the infantry archers first shot the infantry formations of the Ming army, and then used heavy infantry to disperse the Ming army. Finally, the cavalry chased after them. This move repeatedly caused the Ming army to lose its troops and lose its generals. He Shixian, Man Gui and other brave generals were all shot to death by arrows.

However, this time, the Qing army's infantry bows lost their function. Li Guodong's bird gun soldiers were all wearing thick armor and six-petal wide-eaves iron helmets. The arrows shot on his body and could not penetrate the thick armor. The Qing army's bird gun soldiers were just looking down and blocked with the iron helmets. The bird gun soldiers behind the Ming army, especially the heavy musketeers, killed and injured the Qing army's archers. Except for a few unlucky bird gunmen who were shot into the face, arms, and calves, the Qing army's archers could not hurt the Ming army at all.

The Qing sabre player who rushed in front suffered a big loss. The Qing sabre soldiers behind advanced forward, trying to defeat the Ming sabre soldiers with the advantage that the long spear grew a little bit than the gun pierced.

However, Li Guodong did not fight with the Qing army's spearmen, but bombarded with bird guns and heavy muskets, and then set up a shield to block the Qing army's spearmen. Then he threw countless pots of pots from the Ming army's formation, all of which were covered with sparks.

The pottery jar hit the Qing army's spearmen, exploding large groups of fireballs. These pottery jars are gunpowder jars, and the walls of the jars are extremely thick and will not be crushed even if they hit the ground. The pottery jars are filled with gunpowder, and the mouth of the jars are sealed tightly. They are lit and thrown out. The pottery jars weigh about two kilograms, and they contain one kilogram of gunpowder. The explosion is enough for the Qing soldiers to drink a pot.

The gunpowder tank hit the Qing army crowd, and explosions came one after another, and a large number of Qing army spearmen were blown up.

The heavy cavalry of the Ming army also came over from time to time to cut off a few Baoyi and Han army flags, making it difficult for the Qing army to break through the Ming army's defense line for a while. The horse lance cavalry was even more powerful, and rushed directly to the Qing army's spearmen. With the horse lance that was longer than the Qing army's spears, the Qing army was disrupted. However, the horse lance cavalry did not fall into the Qing army's formation, but immediately turned around and left to avoid losing speed.

If the horse lance cavalry loses its speed and is trapped in the enemy's infantry crowd, it is very dangerous. The horse lance is extremely long, and when charging, it can break through the spear formation with its advantage longer than the infantry spear; the horse lance hits the shield of the sword player, and can knock the opponent away with the shield. However, once the horse lance cavalry loses its speed, it is difficult to swing the too long horse lance, and the attack speed is too slow, and the horse will be chopped off by the Qing infantry.

The cavalry of the horse lances crashed into a row of Qing soldiers and had no choice but to turn around immediately, drive the horses away and jog away. When the horse speed was raised, they would hit the heavy cavalry of the Qing army. After rushing out the heavy cavalry of the Qing army, they would turn back and forth to hit the infantry of the Qing army. More than a thousand cavalry of the horse lances rushed back and forth like pinballs. Both the infantry and cavalry of the Qing army were knocked out by them with long spears.

Just as Li Guodong tried to stop the Qing army and the Qing army was desperately trying to rush out, a rumbling sound of cannons suddenly sounded behind the Qing army, which was the roar of three-pound field artillery and twelve-pound howitzers. Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei cavalry also arrived. Among Li Guodong's artillery, three-pound field artillery and twelve-pound howitzers also arrived. These cannons could run quickly with war horses, and their mobility was no worse than that of cavalry. When the Ming cavalry artillery set up the cannon, the Xuan army cavalry also came, rushed into the Qing army's crowd, and sneaked into the back of the Qing army's infantry.

The Qing soldiers behind were all auxiliary soldiers such as Baoyi Aha, and they had no ability to resist. The Xuan army cavalry cut melons and vegetables, and immediately withdrew, and turned back to collided with the Qing army formation.

"There is a Ming Dog behind!" Luo Luohong exclaimed.

"It's Xuan Dajun! We don't have to be afraid of them! Xuan Dajun is still able to defend the city, and going out of the city to fight is nothing." Du Du said disapprovingly.

Unfortunately, Du Du made a mistake again. There were groups of Ming army infantry behind the cavalry of Xuan Da Army. They were almost as if they were in sight. This was the infantry that had just arrived from Julu under Li Guodong. There were more than 14,000 people. This infantry was extremely complete, with a variety of troops including musketeers, spearmen, knives, archers, crossbowmen, etc., and joined the ranks of intercepting the Qing army's retreat route and fighting side by side with the cavalry and artillery. Although most of them were new recruits, the Ming army that had passed the Julu victory was high and was unstoppable.

The flying cavalry artillery had already set up three pounds of field guns and twelve pounds of howitzers. The gunners loaded them as quickly as possible and immediately fired the guns.

The Qing soldiers watched the Ming army's war horses pulling cannons in amazement. When they were only three hundred steps away from them, they pulled the war horses that pulled the cannons away as fast as possible, and then began to load shells. In less than thirty breaths, the Ming army's shells had already roared over their heads.

The first round was fired with solid artillery shells. The shells fell into the Qing army formation and immediately pulled out dozens of flesh-and-blood alleys.

"War horses pull the cannon? Fire the cannon immediately when you arrive? And whoever uses cannon like this?" Luo Luohong was stunned.

"Hurry up, order the cavalry to rush up and steal their cannons!" Du Du didn't care that the Ming cavalry was entangling his cavalry and ordered the cavalry to rob the cannons.

The gunners cleaned the barrel in an orderly manner, put them in a fixed charge pack, then put a single shotgun into the barrel, then stabbed the awl through the fire door, pierced the medicine bag, and inserted the drug guide tube. One cannon was aimed at the Qing cavalry who was rushing over. At the same time, the gunner in charge of leading the horse had already led the horse to ten steps behind the artillery.

Twenty three-pound cannons and four twelve-pound howitzers spewed out their slender tongues of flames, and the shrapnel flew out of the muzzle and spread a hundred steps away. Thousands of shrapnel pierced into the Qing cavalry group. The row of cavalry rushing in front immediately turned over and over.
