Chapter 678: Infighting

At this moment when Wu Sangui turned around, his face suddenly changed drastically.

Because, with Becktu, there were nearly a thousand Manchu cavalry, who followed behind Becktu with a cold face, and looked at Wu Sangui with a very bad look.

"King Pingxi, the Regent sent me to pass this military order. He was worried that the enemy would suddenly attack, so he caught the King of Pingxi off guard, so he ordered me to lead a thousand cavalry to help." A strange smile surged on Baiktu's face.

Wu Sangui instantly understood what Becktu meant.

In fact, I also understood what Dorgon meant.

Dorgon is really as Zu Dashou said. He is very worried about his superficial trust and suspicion in his heart.

Seeing that his marching was too fast and he was approaching outside Xuanfu North Road, he was afraid that he would break away from control and make arbitrary claims, so he specially sent Baiketu, the guy who led his army to convey military orders to assist in the battle formation. His true intention was to monitor and hold him back.

Wu Sangui smiled bitterly on his face and bowed to Becktu who had already rode his horse to him and said, "It's still the Regent who thought carefully, thank you so hard on Becktu."

"It's very hard to do things for the Regent." Baiketu smiled faintly, "Now the Tang army is prepared and the array is very strict, and our army has no chance to take advantage of. If your vanguard troops and horses are in conflict with them, they are afraid that they will be unable to gain any benefits. Please help the King of Pingxi and the next one, and lead the troops to retreat quickly while the Tang army has not launched an attack."

Wu Sangui nodded: "Okay, I will obey the military orders."

The two of them then turned their horses and turned around and wanted to run towards the formation. At this moment, behind them, a loud conch horn sounded.

Wu Sangui's heart was trembling, and he subconsciously turned around, but found that Zu Dashou had already retreated without a trace, and the nearly 6,000 musketeers in the front row of the Tang army had already reached their faces, staring at them, and preparing to shoot.

Wu Sangui thought to himself that something was wrong. He almost out of instinct, he pulled out his horse and rushed towards the back formation at any time.

Almost at the same time, a call came from behind him, and then, the continuous muskets like bursting beans quickly spread out and quickly entered his eardrums.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang!"

There were more than 5,500 muskets with more than 5,500 muzzles, and two rows of black muzzles at the upper and lower sides spewed out bright red flames. The flying flame mouth was like two long bright red ribbons, and it was like the fire of hell, with a kind of heart-pounding fatal beauty.

Large clusters of choking white smoke surged, and more than 5,500 tiny three-cent heavy lead bullets were like the swarm of death bees flying away, making a slight and cheerful cry, pounced towards the Wu army opposite.

The maximum accurate range of the Shuitou Lumi gun used by the Tang army is 150 steps. Compared with the current distance of 180 steps, although it has far exceeded the accurate range of the Shuitou Lumi gun, it is still within the effective range.

The whistling swarm of death bees smirked and quickly penetrated into the body of the Wu army soldiers opposite.

Many soldiers in the front row immediately burst out blood flowers like magic tricks. The person who was hit was like a heavy hammer and fell down on his back.

Although Wu Sangui was prepared, his troops had dispersed their formations and were equipped with large shields to protect them, the Tang army's intensive shooting without accuracy still caused a terrible killing effect.

After all, the successful launch of 5,500 muskets is not a joke.

At least 400 soldiers were killed and injured by the Tang army on the spot. The wounded soldiers who fell to the ground screamed and rolled around in a very miserable manner.

The impact of the lead bullet is so great that the Wu army soldiers holding shields that happened to block the lead bullet could not withstand the huge impact. They staggered backwards and fell, and the scene was in chaos.

There was also a lead bullet that flew over, and with a light bang, knocking off the helmet and hat tassels that could not be avoided. He was so scared that he screamed strangely, and he quickly narrowed his neck and bowed his body, looking very embarrassed.

Faced with this sudden attack, Wu Sangui's troops immediately began to be in chaos. The front row was crowded with soldiers and panic, not knowing what to do next.

At this moment, Wu Sangui is worthy of being a veteran of the battlefield for a long time. He made a quick decision and shouted sternly: "The whole army obeys the order! Defend it on the spot immediately and don't lose its footsteps."

At this moment, Wu Sangui decided to give up the plan to retreat immediately, and instead ordered the entire army to defend on the spot. His order made Baiktu, who came to pass the order, look very ugly.

Damn, Wu Sangui, what do you mean? Do you want to openly violate the order?!

"Pingxi King, why don't you order the army to retreat quickly? Do you want to fight the Tang army to the death?" Baiktu frowned and expressed his dissatisfaction.

"Well, now the Tang army suddenly fires a gun, and our army's team is in chaos. How can we withdraw again?" Wu Sangui was very resentful about Baiketu's questioning. He suppressed his dissatisfaction and explained to him: "Now that our army is suddenly attacked, the only safe way is to defend the entire army for assistance. If the Tang army retreats in a hurry and the Tang army's troops rush, they are afraid that our army's team will be in chaos and will be in danger of collapse without fighting."

Wu Sangui's words were true. Therefore, Baiketu had a blue face and stopped talking.

Seeing that he looked angry, Wu Sangui continued, "President should not be angry. Now the situation is urgent, so I ask the general and your troops to serve in our army for the time being. Let's wait until the Tang army retreats or my subsequent army arrives, and then make a decision."

Baiktu sighed and bowed, "Only the order of King Pingxi is to follow."

At this time, after hearing the words of the chief general, the chaos of Wu Sangui's army gradually subsided. Just as Wu Sangui's entire army was just stable, the second round of muskets of the Tang army started again.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang!"

The gunshots were loud, and the remaining flames were flying, and more than 5,500 muskets were fired. The more than 5,500 lead bullets that whistled out resulted in more than 300 Wu soldiers either killed or injured.

Wu Sangui's face was ferocious, his teeth were chewing, but his heart was nervously thinking about how he should act now.

Although the Tang army's continuous fighting was limited to the killing and injury of these 20,000 soldiers, if they were allowed to continue fighting and putting them down, the front row of soldiers fell down and continued to suffer casualties, it is conceivable that the blow to morale would be affected.

I didn't expect! The Tang army's muskets could hit so far. You should know that the general Ming army's muskets could only hit about one hundred steps at most, but the Tang army's muskets could hit at least two hundred steps. I was negligent for a moment, but the Tang army's muskets were so exquisite that they caused such a passive attack situation.

"King of Pingxi, you can't be beaten like this anymore!"

Baiketu, who was standing beside him, looked anxious: "If the Tang army continues to shoot guns one after another, even if the Tang army has limited killing, it will have a great blow to our army's morale. We are afraid that we will not be able to persevere in the arrival of the subsequent army!"

Byktu's words made Wu Sangui feel like a knife.

I have to say that what the guy Becktu said is still very reasonable.

If you are passively beaten like this, and if you are killed or injured in vain, no matter how many soldiers you will be destroyed by the Tang army, in terms of morale alone, you will probably be completely collapsed in such a series of blows.

what to do?

Now the entire army should continue to stick to the spot or escape at the cost?

For a moment, Wu Sangui was hesitant and anxious as if he was an ant on a hot pan.

At this time, his personal general Hu Guozhu rushed over and immediately replied to Wu Sangui: "Pingxi King, what are you still hesitating?! The number of troops in our army is similar to the Tang army opposite, why can we be beaten here passively? In the following view, we need to take advantage of the morale to be available to force the soldiers to rush forward quickly and fight with the Tang army in person, so that we cannot fire the muskets. With the strengths of our army and the shortcomings of the enemy, we can have a chance to win."

Hu Guozhu's words were like lightning, instantly sweeping away Wu Sangui's confusion.

Yes, in the current situation, the loss of retreat is too great, and it is really difficult to stick to it. It is better to take advantage of the fact that the morale is still there and let the entire army rush forward to fight with the Tang army in close combat, so that there will be a chance of victory in the first line.

Even if we take a step back, even if the two armies are in a stalemate, they will never be able to defeat the Tang army. If they can be dragged to Dorgon to lead the troops, it will be a great achievement.

Thinking of this, Dorgon did not hesitate anymore, and he immediately ordered: "The whole army obeys the order and attacks immediately. As long as it is strangled with the Tang army, it will be a victory. I will be rewarded with great rewards!"

After Wu Sangui's army ordered, everyone of his soldiers who were already in a hurry suddenly felt like they were injected with chicken blood. They immediately shouted loudly, speeding up their running speed and rushing forward.

And as they began to rush forward, the Tang army's muskets immediately began to be released in the third round.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang!"

The gunshots were loud, the remaining flames were flying, and thick smoke filled the air. More than 5,500 muskets were successfully fired. The more than 5,500 lead bullets that whistled out immediately caused more than 500 Wu soldiers who rushed over to death or injured. The formation of the Wu army rushing forward was immediately in chaos.

"Don't stop, keep rushing! Damn, whoever dares to retreat, I will never forgive myself. As long as you fight with the Tang army in close combat, you will win." Wu Sangui shouted from behind, with a burning look on his face.

It should be said that Wu Sangui's judgment on the situation is still very accurate.

Because he knew that the Tang army had extremely strong firepower. If we wanted to break the Tang army's firepower advantage as soon as possible, the only way was to attack us as soon as possible and fight hand-to-hand combat with the Tang army at close range.

In this way, as Hu Guozhu said, using his strengths and weaknesses to attack the enemy, he can use his own army to play his advantage in melee combat, and completely offset the advantages of the Tang army's long-distance shooting.

When the Wu army heard the encouragement, everyone was excited and they all competed for the first place. They were like crazy beasts, roaring forward and quickly arrived, about dozens of steps away from the Tang army's battle formation.

As the Wu army accelerated forward, the Tang army's formation also changed drastically. The musketeers in the front row quickly formed a vertical line and quickly retreated from the gap in the card viewing in the south. After all the musketeers retreated, the large shields quickly closed and formed a nearly airtight steel shield wall.

With the large number of people, the Wu army's infantry was not afraid of death. They fought to the death and finally arrived about dozens of steps away from the long shield formation. At this time, the more than 2,000 Tang army auxiliary soldiers who had been unable to control the Tang army formation were exerting their strength and threw the individual soldiers burning in their hands towards the rolling Wu army formation.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang!"

A few dozen steps away, the deafening burst of explosions sounded, almost shaking people's eardrums. The dazzling golden fire appeared and disappeared in the large swell of whistle smoke. The limbs and blood in the air flew everywhere, screams one after another, and the scene was like a bloody hell.

The unexpected bombing of the Tang army's thunder and lightning was a fatal blow to the Wu army.

These individual soldiers with a killing radius of more than ten steps were killed, and the killing effect caused to the Wu army was very terrifying.

These two thousand individual soldiers threw the sky-shaking thunder and threw them in intensively. More than 1,600 were successfully exploded, causing more than 2,000 Wu troops who were charging quickly to be killed instantly, and countless injured people were injured.

Among the Wu army, many people's ears were shaken to the point of deafness. They were stunned and didn't know what to do next.

For a time, the Wu army's formation was in chaos and morale dropped to the bottom.

Seeing that Tang Jun had this thing, Wu Sangui's face turned pale and his mind was even blank.

He suddenly thought that the Tang army had such powerful defense methods and ordered the army to attack, wouldn't it be that they would die in vain?

And when Wu Sangui was stunned, the second round of individual thunder throws by the Tang army's auxiliary soldiers began again.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang!"

A few dozen steps away, there were another violent explosion, and the human limbs and blood internal organs flew everywhere. Even though the Wu army began to subconsciously pull out the formation to be as loose as possible, as many as 1,000 Wu army soldiers who had no time to retreat and disperse were killed instantly.

At this time, the sound of drums suddenly sounded loudly in the Tang army formation, and there were more than 2,000 light and heavy cavalrymen roaring out from both sides of the Tang army's gun and shield battle formation.

The Tang army's formation and combat cooperation was almost perfect. After these cavalry ran out roaring, they immediately turned around their horse's heads, turned around and rushed towards the rear wing of the Wu army.

Seeing the Tang cavalry suddenly attacking his troops so fiercely, Wu Sangui was so anxious that his forehead veins swelled up, and his face turned into a pig's liver.

"Immediately, Immediately, I can't fight anymore!" Wu Sangui turned his head and shouted loudly at the Chaozheng soldiers.

"Prepare the King of Xi! You cannot retreat!" Baiketu, who was standing beside him, shouted: "Now our army is in a critical stage, how can we withdraw! You can quickly order your three thousand Guanning cavalry to dispatch to attack the Tang army's cavalry! You must know that if you are defeated, the Regent will not spare you..."

Before Baiketu finished speaking, Wu Sangui turned around in anger, turned the Qingfeng sword in his right hand, and stabbed Baiketu's chest hard.

A large mass of blood mist immediately rose from Bektu's chest. The sharp sword tip penetrated straight from his back, making the heart protection mirror behind him bulge high, like a big turtle shell.

Byktu widened his blood-red eyes and looked at Wu Sangui, who was angry and distorted on the other side with an incredibly shocked expression.

Wu Sangui gritted his teeth and twisted the sword, then pulled it out, and Bayktu immediately fell silently from the horse.
