Surge attack? No, surge attack is a skirmish line advance in the era of hot weapons. Switching to cold weapon combat, it is a continuous attack in this formation. With all the troops taking turns to attack fiercely, it seems that the Qing army is going to
It was a fight to the death. Zhu Yongxing felt really nervous as he looked at the Ming army lining up to meet the enemy.
"Raise the royal flag." Zhu Yongxing clenched his sweaty palms and made a decision.
A flagpole seven or eight feet high was erected on the mountain ridge, with a reduced version of the Chinese character "Min" in yellow characters on a red background making the flag flutter in the wind.
"Long live the Ming Dynasty!" Chen Yiyao raised his sword, looked at Wang Qi, and shouted loudly.
"Long live the Ming Dynasty!" the Ming army soldiers raised their arms and shouted.
"Mighty! Kill the enemy!" Chen Yiyao shouted the slogan again.
"Mighty! Kill the enemy!" The echo became louder, bringing a long-lasting echo in the mountains and forests.
The pseudo-Ming clan stayed behind, and the prince of the Min clan was here? Wang Jinbao looked at the royal flag that suddenly rose on the mountain ridge, and his eyes suddenly widened. The failure of Huipo was still fresh in his mind, and the fluttering royal flag made people strive for merit.
Thoughts of it made him feel resentful again; now that Wang Qi had appeared here again, he couldn't describe what he felt in his heart.
"Capture and kill the pseudo-Ming clan, you will be promoted to the third level, and you will receive a reward of one thousand taels." Wang Jinbao soon realized that this could be used to boost morale. He waved his sword and shouted loudly, and the soldiers also repeated it loudly.
This slogan has some effect, but it is not big. If it is to pursue victory, it will undoubtedly be much better than this life-and-death battle.
When the Qing army climbed up the hillside, they discovered that it was so difficult to move under their feet. If they were not careful, they would be caught by thorns. Not only would they fall down, but the impact speed would not be fast, so they could only move up slowly.
Seeing the Qing army stumbling closer and closer to Luzhai, Chen Yiyao looked stern, pointed his sword forward, and coldly ordered: "Archers, release arrows."
A rain of arrows shot out from the rear right side of the Ming army's column and flew towards the Qing army. The favorable terrain made the Ming army's bow and arrow range stronger than that of the Qing army. Although the Ming army only had more than 200 archers, the long-range range of the first round was
The projectiles still shot to death and wounded many Qing troops.
"Shield protection, shrink the formation." The first wave of Qing generals skillfully directed the soldiers to make adjustments.
Another hail of arrows flew over. Although some Qing troops still screamed when they were hit by arrows, the already adjusted Qing troops suffered very little damage. The space after the formation shrank was quickly filled by archers from the left and right formations.
, under the cover of shields, just approaching Luzhai, the Qing army also began to shoot arrows.
The lethality of bows and arrows is not as good as that of knives, let alone guns, and the physical strength of the archers can only enable them to shoot a dozen arrows with all their strength. The final battle is still hand-to-hand combat, cruel and bloody hand-to-hand combat. The Qing army's archers' shooting becomes more and more
Weak and powerless. Because of the terrain, they had to shoot every arrow with all their strength to cause harm to the Ming army, so their physical strength soon became weak.
But at this time, the first formation of the Qing army had already begun to cut down the branches blocking the road, and the simple Luzhai did not seem to pose much hindrance to them.
"Crossbow shooting!" Chen Yiyao ordered loudly and waved the flag accordingly.
The shield-bearing soldiers in the first row of the left wing of the Ming army squatted down quickly. Thirty Mengshan Croat soldiers holding crossbows were revealed and shot the crossbow arrows that had already been strung at the Qing army. After shooting, they squatted down and strung up,
The crossbowmen in the back row continued to fire, then squatted down, and finally the third row.
The crossbow arrows were fired continuously, row after row, stirring up bloody flowers in the Qing army array, and screams were heard. The drums kept beating, and the Qing army had no intention of retreating. The soldiers in front fell, and those behind them fell.
They all ran two steps quickly to replenish their troops, stepping on the blood and corpses of their companions. The Qing army suffered heavy casualties in the first line, but they still attacked and reached the front of Juma.
Dozens of long spears mounted on the horses were stabbed together. These were all spears that were two feet long. Although the thrusts were slow due to friction, half of the Qing soldiers in the first row were still stabbed.
The Juma spears easily tore apart their armor and twisted into their torsos along with the broken bones and rotten flesh, causing them to scream and wail as they died.
The Qing soldiers in the back row pushed them away without hesitation and thrust their guns forward with all their strength. Suddenly, screams rang out from the other side of the Juma. Across the Juma, the spears from both sides stabbed back and forth.
, flying back and forth in the air were crossbows, javelins, and broadswords, flesh and blood flying everywhere, and the battle was fierce.
The first wave of Qing troops were quickly exhausted, and the second wave of Qing troops followed closely. No matter the cost, they were not afraid of bloodshed and casualties. The elites were indeed extraordinary. The lack of a way out gave them the courage to unleash a decisive blow.
.Although comparatively speaking, the Ming army had a favorable geographical location and suffered much fewer casualties than the Qing army, the Qing army's attack was no less powerful than the Ming army.
Juma had already been pushed down, and soldiers from both sides began to fight face to face. The battle line was filled with screams one after another, the sound of spears and swords entering flesh was also continuous, and at the same time, there were fierce shouts bursting from the chest.
Killing sound.
Human bodies continued to fall to the ground one by one. Whether they were corpses or wounded, they were all trampled by enemies or teammates. Blood flowed out, seeping into the hillside, and dyeing the grass red. In the fierce fighting, the second formation of the Qing army consumed
It was extremely fast, and the crossbowmen on the left and right formations also suffered heavy losses. The soldiers had abandoned their crossbows and stepped forward with swords and spears to help in the battle.
Suddenly, a thick black cloud rose from behind the Ming army's battle formation, and countless rocks the size of lead balls flew over a distance of tens of meters and slammed into the Qing army who were bravely attacking.
The crude trebuchet hastily made of bamboo, wood and vines could only have such a long range, and it could only be effective when the enemy was approaching. But the sudden blow was beyond the Qing army's expectation, and the Qing army immediately suffered heavy losses.
Xiao. Amid the constant screams and wails, the Qing army's attack formation was in danger of being interrupted by the middle. The momentum of the charge was even dampened. The front row was killed, and the back row could not immediately follow up to take up positions.
"Attack!" The general's flag waved under Chen Yiyao's command, and the drum beat rapidly, urging the Ming army to move forward.
"Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!" The Ming army shouted one after another, raised their swords and guns, and struggled forward. The sudden pressure of the battle formation defeated the second formation of the Qing army, and advanced down the mountain ridge.
tens of meters.
"Kill! Kill those who retreat!" Wang Jinbao roared fiercely and slashed to death an officer who ran backwards. His own soldiers also slashed the defeated soldiers, stopping the defeat and resuming the attack.
Courage also comes from fighting. You will be the leader of the army, and if you are timid, your soldiers will fall. Wang Jinbao knew this very well, so he led his troops to charge with the formation to boost the frustrated morale of the army.
