Chapter 945: Cannon Fodder Defection

This time, the troops from the Daping Army to North Korea carried a total of twenty field artillery pieces, and now these artillery are placed in front of the positions.

However, facing the charge of North Korean cannon fodder, half of the artillery needed to be equipped with shotguns, and only a dozen were actually equipped with solid cannon shells. The gunners pressed the guns and were waiting for the orders of the commanded artillery commander.

"I have gone through one hundred and fifty steps. Keep your breath and don't open the fire! Check the fire medium again and don't be blown out by the wind."

"One hundred steps!"

"Eighty steps!"

"Sixty steps!"

"Fifty steps forward. Open fire!"

"Boom boom boom!", a row of loud noises, more than a dozen shells shot out flat. At such a close distance, there was no need to aim at it. The artillery seemed to be bayonets, and immediately wadeed more than a dozen bloody paths among the crowded crowds of North Korean cannon fodder.

As soon as the cannon was fired, the musketeers in front of the formation also started to shoot without stopping. A row of guns fired, knocking down a row of Korean cannon fodder. After several rows of fire, the cannon fodder hesitated and dared not to charge with such dense firepower. However, those people did not dare to retreat, and there was a Qing army behind them supervising the battle.

When the fire of the musket was seen, it could already stop the charge of North Korean cannon fodder, and the North Korean cannon fodder also stopped, and cannons equipped with shotguns were fired one after another. Although the North Korean cannon fodder was outside the range of shotgun, the Marine Corps always had to clear the cannon chamber, load solid cannon shells, and prepare for the battle below.

But this round of artillery seemed to be the last straw that broke the camel's back. The charge of the North Korean cannon fodder was frightened and took a few steps back. Then one person, two people, three people..., everyone turned around and ran back towards the Qing army's main formation.

Seeing the North Korean cannon fodder in front of him turn around and run back, Bodun immediately shouted in anger: "Don't be ruthless! Kill them all back."

Although the Daping Army had a strong firepower, there was no machine gun wire after all, so the charge of more than 20,000 North Korean cannon fodder was absolutely impossible to block it. Bodun wanted these North Korean cannon fodders to rush forward again and disrupt the formation of the Daping Army. As for the casualties of the North Korean cannon fodders? Who would care about that boring thing?

So a group of cavalry drove their horses forward like a ferocious spirit, and slashed at the Korean cannon fodder that fled back towards them. Under their massacre, the Korean cannon fodder also stopped and felt a little unsure of how to be good!

"Boom!" The Navy Marine Corps' charge cannon fired. The musketeers in the front row all scattered to both sides, avoiding the front of the square formation. The soldiers in the square formation also held their spears upright and stepped forward steadily with the sound of drums.

The scattered musketeers fired freely at the North Korean cannon fodder. Although the shooting effect was not very good, the fallen North Korean cannon fodder made the people around him even more panicked and pushed forward. When they were thirty steps away from the North Korean cannon fodder, the officers commanding in the upper right corner of the square waved their command knife forward, and the front rows of soldiers in the square also laid their spears flat. The shiny tips of the gun made the North Korean cannon fodder even more panicked.

Facing the Qing soldiers who were condescending and slashing left and right, the Korean cannon fodder could not help it. They used the farm tools and wooden sticks in their hands to attack the Qing soldiers, and immediately defeated the first Qing soldiers. Then the Qing soldiers were submerged in the crowd of Korean cannon fodder.

With the first one, the morale of the Korean cannon fodder was greatly boosted. They suddenly discovered that compared to the Han army behind them, the Qing army seemed not so difficult to deal with!

So a desperate Korean cannon fodder rushed towards the Qing soldiers, and the Qing soldiers were also knocked over one by one. In a blink of an eye, most of the Qing soldiers supervising the battle had lost. When Bodun saw that the situation was not good, he immediately rushed back to his formation with the remaining Qing soldiers.

But at this time, the situation was out of control. Hearing the drumbeat behind him, it became more and more rapid. The already crazy Korean cannon fodder was holding the weapons in his hand and rushed towards the Qing army's main formation without fear of death.

Duoduo's approach to driving the people first was to get rid of it. The Korean cannon fodders were originally dead soldiers of the Qing army, but now they have become death-seeking ghosts of the Qing army. What makes the Qing soldiers of this formation even more sad is that they have transferred the cavalry to the front and have no musketeers and archers to shoot long-rangely in front of this formation. So when they see the Korean cannon fodder turning against each other, they are powerless and can only watch them rush towards themselves step by step.

"Press them back!"

"Get out of here quickly!"

The Qing cavalry generals commanded in front issued completely opposite orders, which immediately caused some Qing cavalry to drive their horses forward, and some Qing cavalry to avoid the two sides. However, in this way, the complete formation of the cavalry had become scattered. In addition, the speed of Korean cannon fodder turning against each other was too fast. By the time the Qing generals reacted, the Korean cannon fodder had rushed very close, so the war horses did not have enough distance to increase the speed of the sprint.

This time, Duoduo's troops, the 10,000 Han military flags were mainly infantry. The number of cavalry was not large. Among the more than 6,000 Eight Banners soldiers, there were also quite a lot of coats. Therefore, only nearly 4,000 people could be used as cavalry.

So when nearly 20,000 Korean cannon fodders rushed over like a tide, many Qing cavalry were immediately submerged. Moreover, the momentum of the charge was not curbed at all, and a large group of Korean cannon fodders then rushed towards the Qing army's main formation.

...

"Master! Let's retreat first! Avoid these people and get rid of their spirits." The Qing generals beside Duoduo advised one after another. Faced with nearly 20,000 madmen rushing over, all the Qing generals were somewhat scared.

"Dang!" With a sound, Duoduo, whose eyes were red, pulled out his waist: "I won't leave! I won't go anywhere. Let me go forward and kill you!"

Then Duoduo pointed at Bodun who had just run to the front of him with the tip of his knife and shouted, "You slave, are you fighting like this? Turn around and stop the Korean pigs and dogs. Otherwise, I will strip you by your own hands!"

Na Bodun didn't dare to stop at all, so he rolled and crawled around, and led his own soldiers to kill him in front of the formation.

When the Qing army generals joined the front line of fighting with their own personal soldiers and elite armored soldiers, the already somewhat shaken Qing army's main formation gradually stabilized.

The Qing soldiers gave up fighting immediately, wearing heavy armor and holding weapons, slashing at the oncoming Korean cannon fodder. Since the farm tools and wooden sticks in the hands of the Korean cannon fodder could not hurt the Qing soldiers wearing heavy armor, the battle situation gradually turned into a unilateral massacre.

Seeing the armored soldiers in front of him killing happily, the soldiers of the Qing army's main formation also stabilized their emotions and stepped forward to help cut and kill. The crazy rush of North Korean cannon fodder was immediately blocked.
