Since breaking through the Hejian defense line, Zhu Yongxing is still working very seriously on the surface, but his heart has become relaxed. This mental state is involuntary, maybe even he is not aware of it. It is like a sports match, when the score is far away.
After taking the lead, you can't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Sometimes, even if you remind yourself repeatedly not to relax, your body will not obey.
But now, this kind of relaxation is not harmful. After all, it is only physical and mental, not the entire military operation. Furthermore, the Manchu Qing has no hope of coming back, at least within the pass, its defeat has been determined.
A heavy snowfall made it more difficult for the Ming army to pursue. It also made the Qing army attack from both front and back, and the chance of breaking through the obstacles became slim.
Human corpses, horse corpses, swords, guns, and flags were scattered all over the snow. Red blood and black craters were mixed in. But the breastwork built with snow piled up and beaten was still indestructible. No, to be precise, it should be Ming
The three blocking lines composed of military muskets, grenades, artillery and rockets are still difficult to overcome.
It’s not that the Qing army didn’t fight hard enough. Just looking at the dense arrows on the parapet made of snow and the corpses of the Qing soldiers that were piled up again by the Ming army, you can tell how fierce the battle was. But the firepower of the Ming army was too dense and sharp, especially
The power of firearms was fully utilized in positional warfare.
It is difficult to win in field battles, and positional battles are even more uncertain. The Qing army finally discovered that their cavalry and archery had no advantage in front of the Ming army fully equipped with firearms. In other words, although they could use maneuverability and speed to fight when they wanted to fight and to avoid fighting, they could flee.
But if you want to compete head-on with the Ming army, there will be no good results.
But now, the Qing army must engage in an upright battle with the Ming army that they tried their best to avoid. Otherwise, they will not be able to break through the Ming army's blockade and return home as soon as possible. In terms of numbers, the Qing army does not have an advantage; in terms of equipment,
Firearms are more powerful; for offense and defense, the latter is obviously more advantageous.
The silence was suddenly broken again. There were shouts and howls, fierce musket fire, interspersed with the roar of artillery, hundreds of flintlock guns firing, six artillery spraying out 700 shot shells, and the rushing crowd of people charging like a sudden
Hitting an invisible wall, countless blood splashed, countless soldiers fell over, and the shouts turned into howls in an instant. The deafening roar was like thunder, and the rockets passing through the air brought a soul-stirring scream, dazzling
The flames were so dense that they could not be counted, and they immediately shattered the Qing soldiers' madness.
The firepower of the Ming army became more intense! Ge Chuha, the commander-in-chief, closed his eyes in pain. Yes, in the initial attack, the Ming army mainly relied on muskets and a small amount of artillery. But when he received reinforcements and reorganized the attack,
The Ming army was obviously not idle either, heavy weapons were constantly being transported.
Ge Chuha has already seen some characteristics of the Ming army, that is, the Ming army pays more attention to the maneuverability and portability of artillery, and almost does not have bulky Hongyi cannons. Obviously, such equipment greatly enhances the Ming army's field firepower and its ability to attack difficult situations.
There are shortcomings. But such shortcomings basically have nothing to take advantage of for the Qing army, which is eager to break through the Ming army's interception.
Moreover, judging from the number of the Ming army, it was only much larger than the Qing army that broke through. Ge Chuha's confidence was sinking into the ice cave. Even if he broke through the three circular defense lines in front of him, what about the river?
How many lives will it take to fill it?
