"Report, more than 14,000 Qing troops, all out of the camp, ten miles away from the army!"
The scouts of the Ming army kept galloping over to report the movements of the Qing army to Zhao Mingyu.Hong Chengchou actually gave up reinforcing the two tombs to stabilize the support point on the defensive line, and chose to pounce directly on him, which made Zhao Ming feel a little surprised, and at the same time admired Hong Chengchou's determination.The old thief became a traitor at an old age, and his courage grew.In the Battle of Songshan that year, Hong Chengchou's back road was threatened, and his first reaction was to organize a retreat and break through, but the retreat of the army turned into a rout, and more than 100,000 people disappeared.Today, in the face of a crisis, the old thief actually chose to pounce directly.At this time, Zhao Ming waved his hand, and the elite of 10,000 Donghai Town immediately formed a military formation in the wilderness between Zhaoling and Dongling.The cavalry of the Ming army was distributed on the left and right flanks, and the infantry formed a horizontal formation in front of the army, and on the left and right of Donghai Town, Tang Tong and other troops were attacking Zhaoling, and Lin Qingzhi's Korean army was swarming on Shizui Mountain, fighting to the death with the remnants of Han Dai.The cold wind shouted, blowing the military flag and hunting, the Ming soldiers were waiting for the battle, and the eight thousand Qing cavalry in the distance, the figure had already appeared in the field of vision, they were divided into two groups, one left and one right, over the hills, like mercury draining the ground, killing not far in front of the formation.Zhao Ming rode a horse and stood under the big sword, looking at the south with a cold expression, looking at the Qing cavalry that swooped over, and sneered on his face."
Hong Lao Thief has been famous for many years, and when he fought with Sun Chuanting, Li Zicheng only had eighteen horsemen left, and escaped into Shangluo Mountain, which was a famous old supervisor in the late Ming Dynasty.Today, Ben Shuai is outside Shenyang City, and he will fight with the old thief to see what the old thief means!
”In all fairness, in terms of facts, Hong Chengchou was indeed the commander of the top platoon in the late Ming Dynasty, and his ability was very outstanding.Defeating him will be very rewarding for Zhao Ming.At this time, in the face of eight thousand cavalry, Zhao Ming was not afraid, no wonder he was so arrogant, at this moment he had ten thousand elites of Donghai Town in his hands, even if there were forty or fifty thousand Qing troops, he was not afraid.The cavalry of the Qing army was divided into two groups, and the speed was raised, with the obvious intention of attacking the two wings of the Ming army's front and outflanking.When the cavalry trampled on the earth, the 6,000 Qing army infantry also appeared in the field of vision of the Ming army.These 6,000 Qing infantry troops were all flintlock musketeers, and they were a new type of army trained by the Manchu Qing Dynasty.Dressed in blue cotton armor and carrying muskets on their shoulders, they lined up in a line several miles long, marching in unison to the sound of drums and pressing on the Ming army from the front.Zhao Ming looked at the Qing army coming from the south, the infantry army pressed up frontally, and the cavalry flanked on both wings, like the Tang Dynasty army, the Modao team broke forward head-on, and the cavalry attacked on both wings.Seeing the posture of the Qing army, Zhao Ming knew that the 14,000 Qing troops in front of him were all elites trained by Hong Chengchou, and he couldn't help but put away his contempt.At this time, 8,000 Qing cavalry appeared on the left and right flanks of the Ming army, and 1,500 cavalry on each wing of the Ming army.The sound of earth-shattering hooves resounded throughout the battlefield, the ground trembled slightly, before the Qing cavalry, there had been several hollow phalanxes in four directions, and the Ming soldiers in the formation, facing the charge of the Qing cavalry, appeared very firm.Under the fluttering banner of the Qing army, Hong Chengchou stared intently ahead, the artillery salvo in the Ming army's formation, and the white smoke slowly flowed in the air, making his vision a little blurred, unable to see the layout of the Qingming army.At this time, through the smoke of gunpowder, he could barely see the front of the Ming army, and the soldiers holding muskets stood in a row, forming a wide front.Hong Chengchou has studied the musket formation of the Ming army, and the musketeers in Donghai Town are usually arranged in a line in order to have a wide front and give full play to the advantages of platoon shooting, but although the frontal firepower of this formation is strong, it has shortcomings, that is, the firepower on both wings is weak and cannot block the impact of the cavalry.Hong Chengchou said to Bayan beside him: "Bayan Gushan, wait for the cavalry to attack the two wings of the Haikou and cause chaos in the Haikou front, and the infantry army of the Blue Banner will be pressed on the front and shoot with a row of guns, which will definitely destroy Zhao Zamao's army." ”At this time, the black and oppressive Qing cavalry cluster was getting closer and closer to the infantry formation in Donghai Town, and the left and right of the Qing general Jin Yuhe were countless horse heads surging forward.The cavalry of the Qing army skillfully controlled the war horse in the gallop, took out the bow and arrow, and pounced on the two wings of the Ming army overwhelmingly, and reached a distance of two hundred steps in the blink of an eye.At this time, in the hollow phalanx on the periphery, the Ming soldiers suddenly pushed out large carts from the formation, placed them in front of the formation, and tore off the red cloth on them, revealing the rockets inside.Jin Yuhe's expression sank, but he did not stop the impact, the Qing cavalry continued to pounce, and the Ming soldiers hurriedly lit the arrows of the hundred tigers, and hurriedly ran back into the formation.The cavalry of the Qing army, who was attacking, saw that on the cart in front of them, countless dazzling white lights suddenly erupted, and countless rockets, dragging trails, screamed into the Qing army's impact array, and the Qing cavalry and war horses immediately neighed.More than a dozen rocket vehicles, each carrying a hundred rockets, shot nearly 2,000 rockets in an instant, the Qing army suffered heavy casualties, and the front of the Ming army was also shrouded in smoke, and the vision was blurred.Hong Chengchou saw the cavalry of the Qing army in the clairvoyant mirror, under the attack of rockets, the forward was in chaos, the cavalry fell from the horse one after another, and the rear cavalry could not avoid it, stepped on his own soldiers, and hit the ownerless war horse, and the momentum was stagnant.This made Hong Chengchou a little worried, he couldn't see the Ming army front in the smoke clearly, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of ominousness in his heart.At this time, Jin Yuhe led the cavalry of the Qing army and continued to gallop in the smoke of gunpowder, rushing into the smoke caused by the rocket shooting.Through the thin smoke and dust, the cavalry of the Qing army could already see that the front row of Ming spearmen lined up outside the Ming army's phalanx, all wearing shiny cuirasses, they were half-squatting on the ground, holding the spears in their hands diagonally, and in the back row stood rows of musketeers with flintlock muskets.The cavalry of the Qing army rushed out of the smoke and dust, and saw the cold light of the spear of the oblique thorn, and the cavalry and the war horse did not directly collide with the Ming army formation, but controlled the war horse, bypassed the front, and broke into the hollow phalanx group from the gap in the hollow phalanx.The Qing cavalry roared loudly, galloping, and shot an arrow at the Ming army, the Ming soldiers were shot, and screamed, but the musketeers in the Ming army still did not shoot.This made the Qing general Jin Yuhe a little uneasy, and the Ming army seemed to be waiting for more Qing cavalry to enter the hollow array.At this moment, suddenly a cannon sounded, the four sides of the Ming army's hollow phalanx, almost opened fire, the artillery in the array, also began to fire scattered bullets, the iron kill that hit out swept one side, at the same time, the Ming army threw a grenade, the age of the explosion, and the projectile shot by the musket, swept the gap between the hollow phalanxes, and instantly shot the Qing army on their backs.The cavalry of the Qing army who rushed into the formation seemed to have been hung by a hurricane, and the cavalry around them fell to the ground one after another, while the rest of the frightened horses and cavalry fled indiscriminately in the labyrinth.Under the banner of the Qing army, Hong Chengchou only saw the two wings of the Ming army, and suddenly the sound of guns and cannons was everywhere, and the smoke of gunpowder was even thicker, and he vaguely heard the screams of the Qing cavalry, and his heart immediately trembled.()
