Chapter 48
The moment the cavalry rushed in, heads and limbs were flying everywhere. The knight in heavy armor directly knocked the person flying. The spear penetrated the person's body, and the person strung on the gun barrel waved his limbs and screamed across the Hun River.
All could be heard clearly.
The bloodshed of cold weapon war spread infinitely at this moment.
Daishan is one of the four great Belles, Nurhaci’s most capable nephew and son. Since Chu Ying, the great Belle, is no longer around, Daishan is the de facto Great Belle. Under his leadership, the Zhenghong banner strives to be the first.
The red armor burned the Ming army's formation like a flame.
Amin is also one of the Four Great Belles. He is the son of Nurhachi's younger brother Shuerhaqi. As the leader of the Zhenglan Banner, he also takes the lead. He personally leads the heavy armored cavalry into the battle, and the sea water under the Zhenglan Banner sweeps away the Ming army on the opposite side.
The military formation was flooded.
Azig is relatively young and one of the four little Baylors. The charge of the white flag under his command is not that fierce, but they keep using bows and arrows to consume the Ming army array on the opposite side. The Ming army here is very elite, and the shield array is dense and the crossbows are terrifyingly accurate.
This brought a lot of trouble to Azig. The knights kept wandering around, watching like wild wolves. As long as Amin and Daishan succeeded, they could occupy the bridgehead with just one charge and cut off the Ming army's retreat.
The troops were all transferred to the east to resist the attacks of the blue and yellow flags. The weak defense line here could not withstand the attack of the three flags, which were like wolves and tigers.
With just one charge, the Ming army's defense line collapsed. Except for the Ming army at the bridgehead who was still holding on, the rest were retreating eastward.
"Commander! It's no longer possible, let's retreat to the other side." The soldiers pulled Qin Bangping's armor, hoping that Qin Bangping would get on his horse and escape to the Qi's army's formation on the other side.
"No, we have to stay here. The brothers' livelihood is here, and we have to hold this retreat for the brothers." Qin Bangping led his soldiers to the bridgehead position.
He knew that this was the last retreat for the entire army. If the bridgehead was occupied, the whole army would be destroyed. If it was summer, he could still think of swimming across the Hun River. But now it is winter, and the Hun River is
There is a mixture of ice and snow inside. If you go into the water now, you will freeze to death in the river before you get to the shore.
"Commander, the left wing is dead." The soldier pointed at the left wing.
Qin Bangping saw that the defense line on the left wing had completely collapsed, and the Eight Banners cavalry was galloping on horseback, killing the scattered white pole soldiers. Qin Bangping's personal soldiers could barely maintain a hundred-meter-wide corridor, and the white pole soldiers themselves
The formations are connected together. Now the Eight Banners soldiers are frantically attacking the defense lines of the soldiers, trying to separate the Ming army at the bridgehead from other Ming armies.
If this corridor, which is 100 meters wide and 40 to 50 meters long, is cut off, even if the Ming army at the bridge cannot be defeated for a while, most of the white pole soldiers can still be annihilated.
"Hold on, you have to hold on no matter what. Otherwise, the brothers will have no way to survive. Send a message to Minping and ask him to lead the brothers to shrink and move towards the bridge." Qin Bangping roared and gave the order. He knew that the army insisted.
It won't be much longer. According to the current situation, it will be impossible to hold on until dark.
But Amin was not prepared to give Qin Bangping any chance. As an excellent cavalry general, he was also keenly aware of the role of this corridor on the battlefield. With a wave of his saber, a hundred and ten heavy armored cavalrymen under Zhenglan followed him and rushed forward.
Towards this corridor.
The crossbow arrows hit them, making a "ding-dong" sound. No matter how powerful the crossbow arrows were, they all fell to the ground feebly.
The cavalry rushed to the front of the two armies like a wind, and the speed of Amin's mount did not slow down. With a "bang", the shield soldiers holding shields were knocked into the air with their shields. No matter how brave Qin Bangping's troops were,
There is no way to withstand the impact of the heavy armored cavalry. These guys can't be hurt by swords and can't be penetrated by spears. Although it hurts when hit by a hammer, as long as it doesn't hit the head, it won't kill them instantly.
The defense line of the soldiers is in a precarious position and is about to collapse.
"Bang", "bang", "bang"...! There was a "cracking" sound like firecrackers. Behind the Ming soldiers, a large group of Ming soldiers wearing red armor appeared. In the hands of these Ming soldiers, they were holding
Bird gun.
The armor of the heavy armored cavalry was invulnerable to bullets and arrows. With only a dozen meters away, how could they be an opponent of muskets? The moment the gunshots sounded, more than twenty Eight Banners heavy armors screamed and fell off their horses. The powerful projectiles
The kinetic energy even penetrated their bodies. It penetrated directly from the back, but the kinetic energy of the projectile was also released almost, and it failed to cause secondary damage.
"Master Beile!" Amin's guards pulled Amin's horse away with all their strength. They knew that the armor on their bodies was no match for the muskets.
"Commander Qin, my general asked you to withdraw to the other side. Tatar soldiers have been discovered in the rear of our army." Zhou Dunji found Qin Bangping and repeated Qi Jin's words.
"I have sent an order for Minping to move closer to me. Now, we have to stick to the bridge. Once this place is occupied, no one can go back."
"That's good, the general will help hold the defense line." Zhou Dunji immediately rushed to the front line and hastily arranged a mandarin duck formation to counter the Eight Banners cavalry.
After Qin Minping fought to the death, he continued to shrink his defense line. He desperately moved closer to his brothers, and the civilians continued to send the wounded soldiers back.
Li Xiao stood on the shore and watched the difficult retreat on the other side. The two armies were entangled, and the retreat was actually about exchanging the lives of some people for the lives of others.
Those who are too late to retreat will be swallowed up by the red-eyed Eight Banners soldiers. Under the random swords, the man who was alive and vigorous just now will be turned into a pile of minced meat in an instant.
The civilians carried or carried the wounded soldiers and threw them into the Qi Army's position and ignored them. Some of the brave ones would go back and continue to help carry the wounded soldiers. Some guys just found an open space just after crossing the bridge and threw them away like garbage.
Throw the wounded soldier on the ground, turn around and run away!
"These beasts!" Li Xiao's brain was filled with blood. He picked up the knife of someone who didn't know who it was, fearing that he would go out and stab them. But when he saw the wounded soldiers on the ground who kept screaming, he could only half drag and half carry them to the trench.
Do it inside.
Many Qi soldiers came out to help, otherwise these wounded soldiers would have been trampled to death by people crossing the bridge.
The shouts of killing were heard from the front, and the number of wounded soldiers in the Qi family's barracks was also increasing. The wounded soldiers on the ground were piled in piles at first, and soon they were connected into pieces. They screamed "ouch" and "ouch" in pain,
Li Xiao has never heard of someone making such a tragic noise.
It was finally dark, and the white soldiers had almost withdrawn. It should be said that they were almost dead. There were more than a dozen arrows stuck in Qin Bangping's armor. If the armor hadn't been thicker, he would have been dead long ago.
Qin Minping was not so lucky. He was shot in the stomach by the javelin of the Eight Banners soldiers. There was a big hole in his stomach, and his intestines flowed out. This guy was really tough. He stuffed his intestines back and refused to retreat. In the end, he was kissed
