170 Final victory (1)
The gap in the range of fire from muskets made them feel very powerless, but they still did not collapse under the pressure. After they loaded the ammunition, they accelerated their pace one after another, and the army kept moving forward, trying to reduce the distance to the range that bird guns and tiger squat cannons can kill as soon as possible so that they can have enough counterattack ability!
Seeing that the two Tartars on the opposite side were tortured so badly, even the subordinates of Yuan Zongdi, who were guarding both wings on the court, were shocked by the imperial camp's clear and neat attack methods. With such strength, no wonder they dared to fight against the Tartars. They had really underestimated the personal troops of the imperial camp before.
After seeing the performance of the imperial camp's direct troops of Yuan Zongdi, many of the former soldiers under the command of Yuan Zongdi had secretly withdrawn their doubts and contempt for them. The most important force in the army is. Only by showing enough muscles can they truly gain the recognition and respect of those veteran soldiers on the battlefield. The cohesion and morale of the personally storming army increased by three points without realizing it.
Because the Dongjiang soldiers were unable to resist the pressure of the Ming army's heavy muskets, they deployed bird guns, tiger squat cannons and other firearms in advance, resulting in the rhythm being completely disrupted, the firepower level was uneven, and the power was deducted if it was severely hit. Especially the tiger squat cannons, because the filling time was relatively long, it was basically a wave of flow during infantry battles, and they had to be removed after the battle.
The Dongjiang soldiers had more than 100 tiger squatting cannons, divided into several teams, and launched them one after another.
As the distance between the two sides was getting closer, although many soldiers on the Ming army were killed by the tiger squat cannons, their overall morale was very high. The casualties were quickly dragged away by the reserve team to substitute. Under the suppression of military academies at all levels, they still opened fire in an orderly manner in a timely manner in the rain of bullets. After several rounds of heavy muskets were fired, the distance between the two sides had reached sixty or seventy steps, and they completely entered the effective range of the tiger squat cannons.
Taking advantage of the gap between the Dongjiang soldiers who were desperately filling the tiger squat cannons and planning to force another wave, Zhang Jiayu, the general of Gongsheng Camp, seized the opportunity and lined up the tiger squat cannons that had been loaded with ammunition for a long time.
More than one hundred tiger squatting cannons were divided into three teams, Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Shooting wave after wave. With the roar of artillery, waves of shots, wailing waves of dense rain poured towards the Qing army's vanguard, Dongjiang soldiers and musketeers. In an instant, more than three hundred Dongjiang soldiers were knocked to the ground, and their full power suppressed their firepower at once.
After three continuous waves of shotgun bombardment, the bird gunners and shield soldiers of the Dongjiang soldiers were shot one after another, and they fell to the ground one after another. Most of the shield soldiers' shields were penetrated by cannons, and heavy casualties were killed and injured. The front army array was in chaos, and there were open spaces after another.
After the tiger squat cannon was fired, the gunmen of the artillery team quickly retreated from both sides to the rear, and the bird gun soldiers in the rear began to roam guns, and the firepower remained fierce and dense.
The Dongjiang soldiers and musketeers who escaped the disaster by luck, were no longer in a gun formation. Seeing that the Ming army's new round of gun shooting began again, they were so scared that they could not bear the pressure and the morale of the army collapsed. Even when facing the big sword of their own supervising team, they did not want to face the bullets that flew over the sky!
The remaining Dongjiang soldiers immediately became as crazy as headless flies and fled to the back formation and both sides, scattering the rear army's formation, and suddenly the morale of the army was in chaos. The green camp soldiers in the rear formation also fled back. The supervising team killed hundreds of people in a formation without any effect, and all the defeated soldiers bypassed the supervising team and fled back.
In the rear military formation, most of the Green Camp soldiers could not even wear cotton armor, and they were all wearing old and thin military uniforms. Only the Green Camp generals, the deputy generals' servants and military academys above the head of the team could wear iron armor or leather armor. The firearms, waist knives and longbows they held were the most exquisite batches in the camp, but the number was relatively small.
The non-direct lineage Green Camp generals on both wings and the back formation, such as Zhang Wenhuan, Li Yangxing, Kong Long and others, were used to fighting a battle with the wind, and they had no intention of trying their best, and they had more or less thoughts of preserving their strength.
After seeing that the elite Dongjiang troops, who were regarded as the main force in the field, were defeated by the Ming army opposite, their 10- to 90% of them had already lost their fighting spirit. If they were not afraid of becoming the first to be successful, they would have retreated long ago, and they took advantage of the opportunity of the soldiers of the front army's escape and retreated with the situation.
Under the Central Army, Geng Zhongming looked panicked. Under his yelling command, the soldiers of the Hou Battalion, who were trusted in the General's line of General Guoan, were forced to change to the Front Battalion and retreated quickly. However, with the original vanguard and the defeated soldiers from the Central Camp, their array was quickly dispersed, and then they were swept away by the defeated soldiers, and they evolved from retreat to escape, in just a short time.
The jog moves into a line, and the line moves into a surface. Thirty to forty thousand soldiers are like an avalanche, and the trend of great defeat has become!
Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi and other commanders are no longer able to make the situation come true!
After a long battle, seeing that the Qing army's field formation finally collapsed, Zhu Youlang breathed a sigh of relief and urgently ordered the general of Shunyi Town Yuan Zongdi to take more than 1,600 cavalry from his wings to pursue and kill the Qing army's defeated soldiers. At the same time, he ordered the army to continue to advance steadily, constantly forcing the defeated soldiers to attack the square formation of his own rear camp. When encountering the defeated soldiers who were recoiling, they would directly kill them with muskets or poke them with a spear.
Until now, the emperor's imperial camp's personal army has always been the main force in the field, and has defeated the Qing army's infantry with strong strength. Yuan's troops have almost become a so-called soybean. The fact that he had not made any achievements made Yuan Zongdi feel very uncomfortable.
Zhu Youlang obviously considered this, so when he defeated the Qing army, he was asked to take action to chase and kill the defeated soldiers and expand the results of the battle. This was also a chance to make contributions!
More than a thousand knights of Yuan's army guarded the two wings without any chance of showing any performance. They were still a little afraid of the Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners soldiers. They had no psychological pressure when facing the defeated group of the Second Tartars, and they had already been excited about fighting. Once they received the military order, they rushed towards the Qing army's infantry position like a tiger going down the mountain, rushing towards the Qing army's infantry position with guns and arrows, whipping and slashing, venting their vigorous energy.
On the empty positions, the deafening shouts and killings and swords and guns were intertwined, as well as the screams of the Qing army's defeated soldiers when they fell, presenting an extremely tragic picture.
Monk Geng Zhongming was surrounded by nearly two thousand Dongjiang cavalry with still combat power. All of them were armored knights led by their eldest son Geng Jimao. They protected the commander and retreated while fighting.
