Chapter 229 Stuck
"All the Green Camp soldiers obey the order. Rush over and kill all the rebels. Everyone will be rewarded. Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed without mercy." When the Green Camp soldiers could not stop the retreating Xiang Yong, they only heard the sound coming from behind the Green Camp soldiers.
loud command.
At this time, if the Qing army allows this unfavorable situation on the battlefield to develop, the Green Camp soldiers will definitely collapse along with Xiang Yong, and all previous casualties and efforts will be in vain.
As the orders came from behind, the green camp soldiers and the country warriors passed each other one after another. Since the casualties in the previous battle were carried by the country warriors, the damage suffered by the green camp soldiers was really minimal.
As the Qing troops staggered each other, the distance between the two armies narrowed again.
"The musketeers listen to the order and retreat. The pikemen advance." Seeing the approaching Qing army, the bandit suppressing troops also began to change positions.
Originally, the musketeers could also use bayonets for melee combat, but after using the muskets for so long, they would become extremely hot, which was not conducive to melee combat.
It would not be cost-effective for the musketeers to use bayonets and damage their guns in hand-to-hand combat. After all, the muskets of the bandit suppressing army are not luxurious enough to be damaged "willfully". Unless they are forced to do so, as long as the spearmen are there, the bandit suppressing army will not
The musketeers need to give priority to killing with bayonets.
"Haha... The rebel musketeers have retreated. They can't hold on anymore. As long as they rush over and fight hand-to-hand, victory is at hand." Some green camp generals who rushed in front waved their sabers and shouted loudly to boost morale.
Not only these Green Camp generals, but also Fu Heng and others who were watching were in a good mood.
"Who said that the rebels' firearms are so powerful that their tactics cannot be broken? Under the leadership of General Fu, who is both wise and brave, and wise and powerful, don't we just break the rebels' firearms?" Zhang Zewu, the deputy general of the green battalion, said with a flattering smile on his face.
There were casualties all over the place but they turned a blind eye.
"Haha... No. How powerful are these rebels? It seems that they are nothing more than that, which makes me worry in vain. Without the firearms, these Nikans are no match for my Qing soldiers. They don't even need my Eight Banners.
If the disciples take action, the green soldiers will be enough to deal with them." Eight Banners General Atam He Yan also laughed and accepted the words. His face was full of joy, without any intention of covering it up.
"What General He said is true." Liang Yigui, the commander-in-chief of Green Battalion, echoed with a smile on his face.
Although Atamu He Yan's words are not pleasant to listen to, the situation is stronger than others. You have to realize that you are inferior to others. He is also a person from the capital, and he is deeply loved by the emperor. If you don't agree with the smile, after the war
If he returned to the capital and "accidentally" said a few unpleasant words in front of the emperor, he would definitely be miserable.
"You guys, keep a low profile. The battle is not over yet, how can we take it lightly?" Fu Heng looked at the people around him who kept boasting, and said with some disdain, with a smile on his face.
"Tiger…"
"Tiger…"
"Tiger…"
After the musketeers retreated, the pikemen behind them marched forward in a majestic manner, holding spears and shields in their hands and shouting.
"Kill..."
The green battalion soldiers who were rushing in front saw all the musketeers on the opposite side retreating, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. They ran over to build up their courage, shouting.
At this moment, the spearmen of the bandit suppression army had already set up a hedgehog formation and were waiting for the arrival of the Qing army.
The rows of spears protruding from the shield were neat and powerful, and the cold spearheads shone brightly in the sunlight.
This formation can be attacked or defended, but it is difficult to break.
However, at this time, the green soldiers rushing to the front were no longer allowed to stop. Not to mention the bandit suppression troops in front, they had to rush through even if they were surrounded by mountains of swords and seas of fire. If they stopped rashly, they would either be hacked to death or overturned and trampled to death.
Among the Qing army, except for the Eight Banners soldiers, which had richer and more sophisticated weapons and equipment, the Green Camp soldiers were mostly monotonous.
Because Green Soldiers have always been used as battlefield consumables, many of the Green Soldiers who were recruited did not even meet the generals who would lead them until the last day before the war.
It was precisely because they were not taken seriously that the Manchu and Qing court gave them either a Qing-made saber or a red-tasseled gun. Other miscellaneous weapons were extremely rare unless they were prepared by themselves.
As the saying goes, every inch that is long is strong, and every inch that is short is dangerous.
Did the Qing army have a red tassel spear formation? The answer is definitely yes. However, the Manchus were lucky and did not encounter many capable enemies since the Southern Ming Dynasty. Those enemies they encountered only needed to use the green battalion soldiers to charge randomly. The war was over. Therefore, the Manchus gradually got used to not using the gun array. After all, it was not necessary.
When a Green Camp soldier dies, the body is thrown into the pile of dead people, and the weapons are picked up, so that new troops can be recruited. Even if more people die, how much loss will the court suffer? As long as the weapons are there, there are as many soldiers as there are.
However, the advantage of fighting in this kind of chaos is that it is easy to win and lose. If you encounter a weaker enemy, you will win in one wave. But if you encounter a slightly stronger enemy, then I'm afraid that the 800 infantry soldiers similar to those in Russia can't defeat them.
"clang…"
A green soldier who rushed to the spearmen's formation swung his machete and deflected a spear that was stabbing him. He thought about taking another step but was unable to do so.
"Puff puff…"
The sound of many spears being inserted into the body was heard, and the green soldier took a few steps back.
"receive…"
"prick…"
"The shield bearer holds up..."
As the mechanical sound of the bandit-suppressing army came from the opposite side, the green battalion soldier came back to his senses and saw a piece of Qing army lying in front of the shield of the bandit-suppressing army. Blood flowed out, dyeing the grass red.
"Kill..."
The green battalion soldiers behind them were still shouting, but the killing in front of them frightened the people in front.
Originally, these green camp soldiers thought that the rebels were just bullying people with their firearms. As long as they got close to hand-to-hand combat, they would be defeated.
But
Everything is different from what you imagined!
"Ah...ah...ah..."
A Green Camp soldier whose stomach was punctured fell to the ground, covering his stomach with his hands and screaming loudly. This miserable scream scared the Green Camp soldiers around him to retreat.
"Is this really the fucking guy with muddy legs mentioned above?" Many people questioned.
After a few rounds, a vacuum zone was created in front of the spearmen's formation. It was inaccessible and unstoppable. Those who didn't believe it lay on the ground motionless and howled, and some even He kept retreating to save his life.
"Shields advance..."
"Pikemen advance..."
As the green battalion soldiers continued to retreat, the spearmen of the bandit suppression army followed closely.
The killings coming in rows and the bloody scenes made some Green Camp soldiers no longer able to bear the fear in their hearts. Many Green Camp soldiers began to flee quietly.
With the three military equipment on the left, center and right in such a condition, the Qing army was on the verge of defeat.
