Chapter 682: Elite Division


"Put!"

The commander of the artillery team of the Wu Yue Army roared loudly and waved the pennant violently.At the moment when the flag fell, the gunners lit the fuses one after another, and then squatted on the ground, the guns retreated suddenly, and the muzzles of the guns spewed out rumbling white smoke and black shells, whistling out, and the smoke filled the front.On the river beach, the Qing army who had just crossed the river raised their heads, their black eyes were full of horror, and they saw one after another cannonballs falling into the crowd.A cannonball hit a Qing soldier, and suddenly smashed the chest and collapsed, fell off the horse, and the cannonball was undiminished, smashed on the river beach, the gravel splashed, the stone hit the war horse, the horse neighed, the front hooves took off, and the yellow-armored cavalry fell off the horse, and the horse ran forward, knocking down the other cavalry, and exclaimed."

Not good, enemy attack!"

The generals of the Qing army, tightened the reins of their horses, controlled the restless war horses, and shouted loudly.At this time, the gunners of the Ming army opened the wooden box and took out a kind of shell with a wooden tail wing, which was the flowering shell used in Zhenjiang.The gunner loaded the propellant and pushed the cannonball into the chamber with a wooden stick, and the officer waved the command flag again, roaring angrily, "Release!"

”The gunner holding the torch brought the torch close to the lead, and the "Xiuxiu" spark quickly drilled into the gun chamber, and with a loud "boom", the gun body retreated violently, and the wheels on both sides of the gun carriage almost retreated backwards and exited the gun position.More than a dozen flowering bombs fell in the crowd of Qing troops, and an earth-shattering explosion sounded, white light burst out, thick smoke billowed out, killing countless Qing soldiers, and the cavalry around the bullet point were all swept away by the air waves.In an instant, the Qing army on the river beach scattered like ants in a fryer.In the process of fighting with Wu Yuejun, the Qing army had seen the flowering shells and knew the horror of this kind of shells, so they immediately scattered in horror and did not dare to gather together, or hurriedly turned over and dismounted and lay on the river beach.Yulinpu, Xie Qian put down the clairvoyant mirror, took out the knife at his waist, pointed forward, and shouted angrily: "For the sake of the world, Wu Yuejun attacked!"

”The passionate horn sounded in the sky above Yulinpu, and Ao Bai was shocked to see that a black line appeared on the horizon ahead.It was the Wu Yue army infantry lined up on the wall, they wore knee-length military coats, two rows of copper buckles on their chests, leather belts around their waists, large-brimmed hats, all flintlock muskets, long bayonets, and glistening cold.Wu Yue's infantry did not charge, but lined up into a wall, raised muskets, pointed at bayonets, and walked forward with firm steps.In front of the infantry army's array, there are two wings, which are field bronze cannons dragged by war horses, following the infantry army, and from time to time releasing a cannon to bombard the Qing army.The huge coercion rushed to the face, like a mountain and a sea, which made the Qing army change color.Ao Bai was stunned, he looked back, the river beach where chickens flew and dogs jumped, if Wu Yuejun was allowed to march and push over, the Qing army crossing the river would have to be driven into the river.That's the elite of Manchuria, the real banner man, the foundation of the Qing Dynasty!"

Blow the horn and charge me!"

Ao Bai controlled the horse and roared, and then directly slapped the horse and rushed out, making his choice and deciding to take a desperate gamble.The Qing army that crossed the river has exceeded 20,000, and if they retreat, they will inevitably suffer heavy casualties, Wu Yue's army will die 50,000, and 20,000 Qing troops will launch a counter-charge.The Eight Banners behind him immediately raised their heads and blew the horn, and the cavalry who heard the sound of the horn grabbed their horses, raised their spears, brandished their sabers, and launched a charge.On the south bank of the Qingshui River, the Qing cavalry that was blown up and scattered, under the order of Niu Lu, also rushed south.At this time, crowded on the river beach, it was the target of Wu Yue's artillery team, and the cavalry slapped their horses one after another in the sound of horns, rushing towards Wu Yue's army.On the north bank, Yue Le saw this, he was greatly frightened, he saw Ao Bai leading the cavalry, not retreating and recoiling, his heart was so anxious that he had to shout an order: "Quick, speed up and cross the river!"

”The Mongol cavalry of Horqin and Chahar, who had not crossed the river, were shocked by the explosion on the south bank, and they fought less with the Wu and Yue troops, and the war horses were more afraid of the explosion, crowded at the bridgehead, but did not cross the river actively.Yue Le couldn't help but be furious, the Manchurian elite on the south bank must not be lost, anxiously he pulled his horse forward, waved his knife to cut, and shouted angrily, "Don't squeeze at the bridge, cross the river, cross the river for this king!"

”Wu Keshan, the prince of Horqin, had a close relationship with the Manchus, and this time he sent troops, and it was his sister Bumu Butai who wrote to him to invite him, and it was impossible to see the end of the Manchurian Eight Banners, so he hurriedly urged the Mongolian cavalry to cross the river.On the Qingshui River, a column of water splashed, and the cavalry passed through in terror.Although the body of the Eight Banners of Manchuria collapsed a lot, but the blood and qi still existed, and the leader of the army was the first Batulu Aobai of the Manchu Dynasty, brave and invincible, so when they found that the Wu Yue army was ambushed and attacked halfway, Ao Bai and the Eight Banners did not choose to flee for their lives, but blew the horn and bravely met the attack.On the vast battlefield, the cavalry of the Qing army was killing in the wilderness, the solid bullets splashed mud pillars in the horses, and the flowering bullets raised thick black smoke, and the galloping cavalry kept falling and rolling, but the cavalry behind turned a blind eye, and charged with spears, leaving them behind.At this time, among the infantry of the Ming army advancing like a wall, Chen Youlong, the former deputy general of the Red Dragon Army, suddenly waved his hand, and the red flag behind him was held high, and then fell.The artillery was set up in front of the formation, and the soldiers in the front row put the muskets flat, and thousands of muskets formed a straight line, and the muzzles of the black holes were aimed at the Qing cavalry that came from the field, and they were all fearless, just waiting for the enemy to come.The earth was trembling, and the iron hooves of the Eight Banners trampled on the earth, like a monstrous wave, hitting head-on."

Put!"

The commander of the artillery team at the front of the front line, waved his hand and roared.Nearly 100 bronze cannons of about three pounds opened fire in unison, and the front of the front line was filled with gunsmoke in an instant, and one after another cannonballs roared out, smashing into the enemy cavalry at a speed that was difficult to catch with the naked eye.The cavalry of the Qing army who rushed in front fell down in succession, and the war horses rose into the air, shook off the knights, and smashed heavily on the ground, splashing dust.Ao Bai's face was pale, but this still couldn't stop his charge, and the barbarian just used this little means, in addition to firearms, what tricks could he play?"

Kill me!"

Ao Bai brandished his sword and roared loudly.The sound of hooves rumbled, rapidly closing the distance between the two armies."

Musketeers, platoon guns ready!"

Chen Youlong roared loudly."

Aim!"

In the formation of the Wu and Yue army, the shouts of the officers came and went.Seeing that the cavalry of the Qing army was about to approach the firing range, the musketeers raised their muskets flat, aimed sideways at their respective targets, and their half-squinted eyes shot a fierce light."

Put!"

Chen Youlong roared angrily."

Bang bang bang" gunshots rang out in a row, and the gunpowder smoke spread from the middle to the wings, instantly forming a white smoke band.Thousands of muskets were fired at the same time, and the projectiles seemed to be poured out, bringing up waves of air and blowing strong winds.The charging cavalry of the Qing army was suddenly like hitting an invisible wall, and those who were shot and fell off their horses abounded, as if they were beating dates.After the first shot was fired, the musketeers retreated in unison, quickly reloading, and the next row raised their guns forward."

Bang bang bang", the Qing army fell to the ground in pieces like cutting wheat under the row of guns.The Ming army did not panic or mess with the swarming formation of 10,000 horsemen, stuck to their posts, and was loyal to their duties, so that the Qing army could see what an elite division was.Sergeant Wu Yue didn't expect that he could be so calm.Repetitive training and strict military discipline make them like machines, constantly repeating their movements.Under the cover of the rain of bullets, the cavalry of the Qing army was already frightened, and the cavalry who charged did not dare to look at it at all, the fallen comrades around them, and the corpses scattered behind them."

Kill!"

Ao Bai roared again and again, and the heavy casualties made his eyes red, and a trace of remorse appeared in his heart, but he was quickly thrown out of his mind.After paying huge casualties and rushing to the front of the battle, there is no reason to retreat.The cavalry of the Qing army was constantly shot by projectiles and fell off their horses, and the road ahead was paved with human corpses and horse corpses, but the speed of the war horses was fast, and finally some cavalry rushed out of the smoke and crashed into the platoon of guns."

Squat, raise your gun!"

Chen Youlong shouted.The musketeers in the first three rows immediately squatted down in unison and raised their bayonets diagonally, forming a forest of steel, while the musketeers in the back raised their muskets, and the projectiles jumped over the heads of the first three rows of soldiers and shot at the Qing cavalry.At the same time, Wu Yuejun's grenadiers lit the grenades, rushed forward, and threw grenades one after another."

Boom!"

The cavalry of the Qing army, which had just collided with the front line of the Wu Yue army, found that the Wu Yue army did not have a rout, and Ao Bai couldn't help but change his face.The three rows of Wu Yue musketeers forcibly caught the impact of the Qing cavalry, and at this moment, grenades fell, and in the continuous explosions, the Qing cavalry suddenly collapsed.Under the previous shelling of the flowers, the cavalry formation of the Qing army was already scattered, and in the wild charge, the cavalry did not attack the line.Breaking through the infantry line required continuous ramming of the cavalry, and the explosion blocked the follow-up cavalry, and the Qing army lost the ramming.The cavalry of the Qing army that collided with him was either stabbed to death with a bayonet, shot down by a projectile, or blown away by an explosion, which could not shake Wu Yuejun at all.Ao Bai's heart was bleeding when he saw this, but he reacted quickly and was able to survive on the battlefield.At this time, when he saw that the charge had failed, he did not drag the mud and water at all, pulled the reins of his horse, and shouted: "Withdraw!"

”But at this moment, on the east and west sides, there was a sudden sound of killing, and more than 10,000 troops from each side came out and rushed straight to the south bank of the Qingshui River.The generals next to Yue Le exclaimed, "It's not good, there are ambushes on both wings!"
