Chapter two hundred and fourteen: what face to see the emperor again
On the simple gate tower on the top of the stone wall, passionate war drums sounded. More than five hundred fierce-looking Xuanfu Army soldiers, holding shields and guns, rushed out from the village gate, strode across the simple suspension bridge, and faced the chaos in a neat military formation.
The unbearable Tatars were killed.
Behind them, there were more than 500 equally strong men. It was Chen Zheng who had recently recruited those people from the Mountain Minzhuang. The 500 people here were temporarily under the command of Qianzong Song Shanquan, the central commander of Dushi Camp, and they were also following him at this moment.
The shield soldiers rushed out in formation.
These men outside the customs are all tall, muscular men. Compared with the sword and shield soldiers and spearmen brothers of the Dushi Camp, they are no less generous.
If we only look at their fighting skills, the officers and soldiers of the Xuanfu army may not be their opponents, even if they fight in groups, they will not give in too much.
After all, I grew up in a war-torn place and grew up fighting since I was a child. If I were not good at killing and escaping, how could I survive today?
However, battle formation fighting is indeed their only weakness. Even if they can fight, they are still a ragtag group and can barely fight alone. Once they face a real battle formation fighting, they will be useless.
But they were already well aware of the Xuanfu army's generous rewards for military merit.
Therefore, when the Xuanfu Saber and Shield Soldiers attacked, they were also eager to fight, and all of them actively requested a fight. At first, Song Shanquan refused to go out to fight because they were not prepared.
But later, seeing that there were only three or four hundred Tatars left, and unable to withstand their passion, he reluctantly agreed to let them stay in the camp and accompany them to fight.
Seeing the Tatar soldiers in yellow armor roaring and charging under the stone wall, Song Shanquan's eyes were firm and he ordered without hesitation: "Firegun, aim at the two rows behind the Tatars and hit me!"
Song Shanquan is no longer a small general in the Red Castle. Now, although he is still an official of General Qian, how can General Qian of the Xuanfu Army be comparable anywhere else.
Just say that the more than 1,300 people under Song Shanquan's command may not be able to defeat even a battalion of troops from other towns!
When Zhang Cheng only had two infantry camps under his command, Song Shanquan was General Manager Qian. It can be said that since Wu Youlu was executed, Song Shanquan was treated as a confidant by Zhang Cheng.
As the saying goes, "House the Qi and nourish the body."
Now Song Shanquan has changed from the submissive attitude he had when he followed Wu Youlu. He now has the demeanor of a general, with dignity in his every move.
Although Zhang Cheng always valued him very highly, Song Shanquan knew his own affairs. He knew that he was not the old man he had followed earlier, and that his former general was the culprit who assassinated Zhang Cheng.
At first, he thought that the reason why Zhang Cheng protected himself was just to appease the old men in the Red Castle and the military morale of Wu Youlu's soldiers.
But the reality was quite different from his inner thoughts.
Zhang Cheng's trust in him has never changed, and he has never treated him like an outsider. He is no different from Tian Mingyu and Wednesday.
This made him very touched, and he always thought that if he had the opportunity, he would repay Dashuai Zhang for his kindness. Now, the opportunity finally came!
Following Song Shanquan's orders, explosions were heard on the stone wall. This time it was not a standard salvo, but each gunner aimed at the Tatars in the last two rows and fired freely.
After all, the distance between the two sides was not far, and they were both charging at full speed, so they would naturally engage in battle soon. If they were to shoot at the Tatar soldiers, they would most likely injure their own cold warriors.
That's why we have to target the Tatar soldiers in the back two rows and hit as many as we can.
Although it was not a salvo, the sound of cannons exploded continuously, and the charging Tatar soldiers were shot and fell to the ground. At such a close distance, it was difficult not to miss them.
This burst of shooting wounded and killed as many as forty or fifty Tatars.
However, because those who were hit were only the last two rows of Tatar soldiers, it did not affect the speed of their charge. The moment after the gunshots were fired, the shields of both sides collided.
Although the shield soldiers of the Xuanfu Army are also strong and strong, the impact with the shield does not rely on brute force, but also the skill of the boss. Compared with the soldiers of the Xuanfu Army, the Tatar soldiers are naturally more physically capable.
After hundreds of battles, their skills in using shields are not comparable to those of the Xuanfu army officers.
Sure enough, the Xuanfu Army's shield array was knocked around in the middle, and a gap immediately appeared. The Tatar soldiers behind also reacted quickly, and chopped down a long ax instantly, and a fierce close-quarters bloody battle began.
Start.
As the team leader, Bi Jiyi was in the first row. He was bounced away by a Tatar shield soldier and hit the second row of shields behind him. Then he was hit by a Tatar shield and couldn't stand.
He fell firmly to the ground.
But after all, he was a team officer and the best among the sergeants. Although Bi Jiyi panicked, he was not confused. The moment he fell to the ground, he suddenly pulled out the short dagger hidden in his boot and stabbed a Tatar soldier with all his strength.
On his feet, the sharp point of the dagger pierced through the sole of the Tatar shoe and penetrated deeply into the soil on the ground.
The Tatar soldier let out a miserable cry and fell to the ground. He struck Bi Jiyi with a short ax in his right hand. Fortunately, Bi Jiyi's shield was still there and he hurriedly raised it to meet him, but his arm was broken by the ax.
Then soldiers from both sides surged up and immediately entered a state of melee. The officers and soldiers of the Xuanfu Army also formed a wild goose formation and gradually extended to the two wings to form an encirclement posture.
However, their strength was insufficient in the middle. Their two rows of shields could not stop the Tatars' attack, and they were quickly broken through. The Tatars seemed to have gone crazy, and they only rushed forward regardless of the attack.
Fortunately, the new recruits from Liaodong rushed up from behind. They were neither wearing armor nor holding shields. All Qing Yishui had were spears over eight feet long. Ru Lin's spear formation was actually more useful than the shield formation.
It was the timely replenishment of their gun array that stopped the Tatar attack and re-stabilized our own position.
The soldiers in the middle part of the Dushi Camp of the Xuanfu Army engaged in brutal hand-to-hand combat with the Tatars, leaving many corpses behind. Their hot blood was steaming in the cold mountain wind.
The Manchu Tatars might be able to endure the Xuanfu army's firecrackers and artillery, but now they are faced with this forest of gun formations.
They were actually frightened. As the new Liaodong army took over the central part, the Xuanfu Army officers and soldiers on both wings also pierced out their spears like a forest under the cover of shields and began to harvest the fresh lives of the Tatar soldiers.
…………
"It's over..."
Manchuria's Zhengyang Flag, the solid mountain in front of the mountain, looked blankly at this killing field, listening to the roars and screams around it, and there was no trace of blood on its face.
Suddenly, as if he had been shot with blood, he jumped up angrily and shouted loudly: "I will fight with you, damn Nikan!"
Ashan looked like a madman, shouting and rushing forward while swinging his long machete. Several Bagala guards around him were shocked when they saw this. A Bagala hugged him fiercely and shouted: "
Mr. Gushan, the matter has come to an end and we can’t rush forward any further. I will protect you and escape back, then assemble the army and fight again."
Ah Shan was stunned when he heard this: "The whole army will fight again...the whole army will fight again...the whole army will fight again..."
After muttering in his mouth several times, he suddenly broke away from the hands of the Bagara who was holding him, and shouted: "How can I see the emperor again? Do I still have the face to see the emperor again?"
Ah Shan seemed to have made up his mind. He waved his long machete and ran forward to charge at the Ming army's spear formation. He was so strong that he actually cut a gap in Ru Lin's spear formation.
Seeing that they could not pull Ashan back, the few Bagaras behind him roared loudly and rushed up behind him. They were like a group of tigers descending from the mountain. In just an instant, they opened a gap and rushed straight into the Liaodong New Army.
In the gun array.
The originally neat spear formation immediately fell into disarray under the impact of Ah Shan and others.
They only focused on beating Ah Shan and several Baya soldiers who had rushed into the formation, but they surrounded Ah Shan and others and stabbed them with guns, completely forgetting that there were Tatars behind them.
Immediately, more than a dozen Zhenghuang Banner Tatar soldiers followed. Using swords and axes, they killed all the Liaodong New Army in front of them with a frenzy of chopping. They rushed into the gun formation and joined Ashan.
At this time, Ah Shan still looked like a madman, waving a long machete like a long dragon, constantly devouring the lives of the soldiers of the Liaodong New Army.
At this time, he saw that his team had grown stronger and his confidence doubled, and he shouted: "Kill, kill all the Nikans and serve the emperor!"
